Even an efficiency expert would be staggered by the amount of chasing around an indoor roadwork that the little woman takes as a matter of course. Oh, you know, oh, no, you, yeah, oh! The morning stream. The morning stream. Death rains from above.

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Wednesday, May 26th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello, Scott. How are you? I'm okay. Look at us still doing this morning show for 10 plus years now.

What are we doing? What? So we started some contractual obligation thing, or what is the deal? It's crazy. I was going through some old files the other day, and I found an old screenshot of the original stream set up, and boy, howdy have things come along in 10 years. So it's good stuff. Good stuff.

Anyway, hey, we're back, everybody. Welcome back. Hope you're all well. And I saw you did a massive bike ride yesterday. How'd that go for you there? I didn't. I wouldn't call it massive. It was a good long, well, I'll take it back.

It was a, it wasn't long. It was a, what, eight mile, nine mile or something. It's the, basically there are two, what I call the vanilla rides that I can go to from my house. And it's basically, one is around the reservoir, around our reservoir, which is really, really good. because of some hills it makes it a nice challenge

and I'm getting better and better at some of these switch back hills that just go straight up thank goodness the other ride is straight east

and that's a long flat ride that goes into into town so if I want to grab lunch I can go you know bike ride to Tokyo Joe's

or mod pizza and have an order already waiting for me so that I don't need to walk around and my crappy bicycle shorts and shirt and stuff. And I could just go outside and say, I'm outside. Could you bring me my order?

And they'll bring it out to me. Sure, sure. That sounds great. You called it eight miles. So eight miles is the, yeah. You should call it the M&M. I'm going to go run an M&M, Tina. I'm going to go do the M&M.

Yeah. Bomb spaghetti, we'll see you later. And that's it. That's when you go do it. That's fantastic. Well, good. Good for you. I saw your map and I just thought,

Yeah, I didn't do that. I didn't even come close to that. No, but you've been walking every day, which is good. Yeah, it's a good thing. That's true. We've been doing the hard walks in the morning and, you know, the whatnot. I should be doing more, but still. Chasing the geese?

Yeah, chasing the geese. They need chasing. I don't know. We found geese that didn't do anything. I think Mendoza's influence has waned because they're not dicks anymore. They just kind of sit there and even with their kids. They don't get, like, really defensive anymore. They're getting used to people.

but Mendoza hasn't been here for I don't know a couple years now I haven't seen him so I don't know they've been putting all these multi-million dollar houses out on the island and all the geese are like meh meh this I guess we lose to the humans here we know when are we know when we've lost and now they just chill someone out there is enjoying some delicious patte is what's happening and uh that's right Mendoza is no longer yeah Mendoza patte probably tastes like sour milk man oh I I can't imagine, yeah, late goose patte has got to be horrible. Yeah, there you have it.

Well, anyway, hey, it's allergy season. Yeah. Yes, it is. I know you, you know, have your occasional bout of allergies. I do too. Yeah. You know, pretty mild. It's mostly just kind of stuffed up, sneezy kind of business.

But I know some people that have, you know, complete shutdown of the nervous system during this time of year in some ways. and I thought it would be fun to talk about some of these weird ones and to test you to see if you maybe have any of the following allergies. Okay. All right. So, I don't know if you knew this. How, what, give me this. There's not a lot of cockroaches in Utah.

What's the status in Colorado? Do you get the cockroaches? Not a lot of Colorado either. Okay. Yeah, no, very, very, very few. It's funny, we were talking about this. We watched something where there were cockroaches or we were talking about cockroaches. I can't remember the deal.

Oh. James and Svet saw a cockroach, and so we were talking about cockroaches. All right. Well, they're not, they're super like, they're not, they may not even exist here because I'm trying to think of I've ever seen one here. I don't think I have, but when I was in Mississippi or anywhere south, they're everywhere. So it must be like a humidity thing. They like it when it's humid.

It's heat and humidity, yeah. Sure. Everyone always says they'll survive if anything, but I'm like, well, can they handle the cold? What's going on with the cockroaches? Cocky cockroaches. Anyway. If you lived in a place that was that was full of cockroaches, apparently it's very common to be allergic to their, to specifically their waste. So, yeah, so whatever leavings they do around the house or in the walls or whatever.

They're midsection, their waist. They're waist. They're above the hips. Yes, they're waist. They're like, whatever. Whatever they excrete, they will, they'll get you bad. poo. Yep. So you've got to have a special, like, trip to the doctor, according to the allergy foundation of America. It's as little as being in close contact with a cockroach's

waist is enough to set off an allergic reaction marked by sneezing coughing and itchy eyes in very intense levels. So watch out for cockroach poo is what I'm saying. I, you know, I don't have an official allergy to that, but I think just by default. Yeah. Like, I think, I think, you know, it would have the same effect on me without allergy as it would with. Like, oh, this, you know. You have an aversion to it, whether. Aversion, yes, exactly. Oh, Sam, James, just type that.

Look at us all thinking the same. Wow. That's fantastic. Hi, Sam, by the way. Great minds all thinking alike. Yeah, go kick Randy in the testicle for us. For no reason. For no reason.

We like Randy. I ever tell you about the time that I got picked in the testicle first thing in the morning because. This best part of waking up, I always say. All right. Number two. Now, this is where it gets weird. Do you take anything when you have allergies, Brian? Do you take like a Claritin or a, you know?

Benadryl, usually, or I have, next to me here, I have some Flonase that's probably expired. Let's see what the date is on this. Oh, no, expires April 22. This stuff lasts forever. Yeah. But yeah, so I'll typically do Benadryl or I'll do a little spritz, spritz of the flonase. I like it. Spritz of the Flones is a great title.

Someone get that in there. Sprits of the Flonanes. So here's the thing. A certain percentage of people, probably not you, hopefully. Ironically enough, develop an allergy to allergy medicine. Oh, God. Yeah. So that's how uber sensitive you are.

It has this paradoxical effect of causing allergies to the anti-allergy chemicals themselves, which means it's possible for these people to never find any, help at all because even the hardcore stuff you might get from a doctor the non over-the-counter stuff is going to just send you into a tellspin so that sucks we got someone in the chat identity four says they're allergic to benadryl that's that blows man that blows yeah so what do you take if you're you take you take a nap I guess I don't know what you do yeah I guess doesn't nothing works all right yeah then this now it gets weirder so now you're on your bike you know you got your uh your thing coming up all that you got your eight mile your mom's spaghetti

I do notice that I do tend to have, like, the, the ride, we'll call it the M&M ride now, but the M&M ride takes me around a field that might have something in it that affects my allergies, because I get home from one of those rides, and it's like, you know, the clean-acist and as I get home. Sure. I like a good honk, though. A good honk. So I'm sorry, you were saying, okay, so I'm on my bike. You're on your bike.

You're all sweaty, man. And the sun's pounding you and you're like, oh, this is why I do it. I'm getting my heart rate up. I'm sweating all over the place. Oh, no. I'm allergic to my own sweat. Oh, God. Wow.

Yeah, this is real. There are people with, it's called, clowlernic eukarya, I think is how you say it. And if they get sweaty at all, they probably just break out hives or something? Yeah, it's horrible, like all puffed up and. You can even have life-threatening reaction like you need an EpiPen-style thing for being all sweaty. So that's gnarly, dude. You just cover yourself in a speedstick. Just jam those pores with aluminum and a good antiperspirant for right guard or something.

Yeah, get in there, get that happening, get it going. All right, here's another fun one. The smell of fish. Oh, really? Yeah. Just the smell of it. the food itself. Yeah, not that, I mean, there's a lot of people who are allergic to fish or shellfish or things like that, but just the smell of fish. Yep, they call this,

let's see, oh, I don't have a name for it. I think it's just something that somebody made up because they didn't want to go to a seafood restaurant with their friends. It just slowly worked its way through medical journals and became law, but... Right, exactly. My aunt's friend once said that she was allergic to the smell of fish. Let's put that in the book. Yeah. Now, I want the chat room to part. their dirty mind somewhere, as I tell you about the next one. Oh, no. This is real.

Vibrations. Oh, okay. Allergic to vibrations. Yeah, not just the Marky Mark Funky Bunch kind. Not the good vibrations. Not the Beach Boys hit. No. Not that one either.

Yeah. Are there other songs? Hold on. Those are the two. Yeah. I want to say that the Fat Boys also did a cover of good vibrations, but that one doesn't count. No.

Not much of what the Fat Boys did counted. Sorry. No. It was kind of a parody wrap. That was always the, by the way, that was a little point of contention. As many things that were wrong with the show lost, and I'm not going to defend every single thing in Lost, but they're down in the underwater station. What's that? The Hydra station.

And Charlie and Desmond are down there, and they're being held captive by a couple of Darmin Initiative people, and they turn the tables. and then they get in there and they have one of them a gunpoint and she says oh the code to turn off the power or whatever turn off the electric fence i can remember what they were turning off was the uh is the melody of good vibrations the song by the beach boys right by the beach boys right and charlie immediately goes in there on a on a touch type or key like a manual keyboard not even like a musical keyboard yeah immediately figures out without guessing in trial and error that it's the do do do do do do do right but there's like about a dozen different melodies in that song choruses and verses and yeah there's that whole keyboard part there's do do do do do do so of all of the things people have problems with lost this is the one yeah that's one that's my it's my issue with lost i like that all right no i like that you finally find have one all this time i thought you were just an unapologetic lost you know defender but now little lost fanboy but no i do have a problem with well that nicky and paolo i have a problem with

nicky and paula yeah i kind of did too i will say though i'm pretty much on par with you with lost i like lost a lot i thought it was right yeah and you know the the ending may not have been the ending that people wanted it was it was the ending that lindoloff and cues wanted to give us and it's what they Davis, yeah. It is what it was. It is what it was. They're, you know, well, I'm not going to say in case there are people listening who I haven't seen it yet. I also think it's just an important landmark in television and the kinds of storytelling that they did then influences a ton of the things I like today. And I don't even know if a show like Devs even happens without something like Lost those sort of, you know, I'm just saying, we're at a place where we're benefiting from some of those ideas. It may not have been perfect. And there's a lot of chance. chatter in the chat about how they all hate it, whatever, whatever. Brian and I can like what we like to like, okay?

Listen, most brilliant cast, casting and character development of any show ever. Oh, that's some pretty hard. I know, that was some big words there. We'll just say, brilliant casting and character creation. I agree. A bunch of people I didn't know. And then I loved all of them. Yeah, then you saw them and everything else afterwards.

Yeah, this was their moment. man. Angeline Lilly and you don't get your was. Hugo Reyes, what was his name? Hurley. Although I don't know.

Is he doing much? What's he doing these days? He did a few shows after that. Like there was an Alcatraz show and there was a, he got on the cover of a Weezer album. That's right. I like that guy.

He's probably all skiing now and you wouldn't recognize him or something. He's probably like, yeah, Michael Emerson probably has done the best, right? Because he's in, he's currently in that show evil he was in person of interest yeah a whole bunch of people uh paulo uh we much maligned uh yeah is the emperor guy the the the top dude from uh zirxes in 300 he's the oh there you okay good so he he went on to do something yeah he actually done a lot that dude's

actually done a lot which is crazy his career's been all right uh he's he's done pretty well for himself despite that crappy moment that he had on loss but yeah. Yeah. All right. Anyway, so vibrations. Vibrations.

So yeah, that's the point is you can get electric to it. You can get electric. Allergic. Electric vibrations? Where's your mind going, yeah,

now I'm doing it. Your cell phone, you can be allergic. Can't stop saying electric. To that, the glass itself, you just touch that glass and you're allergic.

I don't know what that is, but people have it. There's cases in the Mayo Clinic that are like chronicled. It's pretty, crazy. Wow. You wouldn't think that there's anything that glass could give off that would react to your

body, right? It is, you know. It's something about that like tempered super high, whatever thing. Oh, I'm not, grunge, whatever your name is in the chat. I'm not giving you special access to my sweet sources of scientific data. Yeah, you're a scientist. Go fight it yourself, Nikki. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, is that, Nicky? I was on her show a couple of weeks ago. I'm nervous about that going live because I sounded like a dummy, but she was great. Harry Caterpillars, that's another one. Watch out for your own child. That's one. Some people have.

Allergic to your own child? Yeah. Like the kid, you'd be a snuggle up next to the baby and you get all hivey because something about you and their genetics and the skin and the whatnot. Yeah. I don't know the details there, but. That's a bummer. I think I might be allergic to fresh jalapinos.

Like, pickled, no problem. Interesting. That's interesting. But when I have a fresh slice of helping, like, let's see I go get fah. Oh, my God, I love throwing a few jalapeno slices into the fah. Because it's always like the freshly chopped jalapeno. I get the hiccups immediately. Oh, that's right.

You told me about this. That's an interesting one, because my daughter's that way with kiwi. If you prepare it in some way, it's fine. But if you eat a kiwi, just fresh Kiwi, she gets all fuzzied up and messed up. She can't. Weird. Yeah. She can't do it. Your period, Brian, when you're menstruating

like you do, you know, like you do. Uh-huh. Yeah. You'll have that. Bean bags apparently are a problem for some. Pancake mix. Just running down a few of these. Glitter. So don't be, you know, going out to the club with a bunch of glitter on

unless you're sure you're good there. Pollinated fruit, meaning the bees had its way with it. That's trouble. I'm wondering what, like, pollinated fruit. Like, imagine, like, I don't know, like a peach tree where it's been. Oh, where there's pollen dust and stuff on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess pollen is, that's almost like saying, I'm allergic to pollen.

Well, yeah, it's just in fruit form or whatever. Yeah, the delivery mechanism you're allergic to as well. Exactly. laundry detergents on this list. Condoms are on here. Oh, sure. Latex. Yeah. You put one of those on your head and blow with your nose.

You're in trouble. Don't do that. Wine, tattoos. Boy, that one would suck because that's a permanent thing. Steak, no thank you. And cold temperatures. They didn't get into it here, but there's a whole water one where very rare, but some people are allergic to freaking water.

And it has to be treated in such a very specific way. that so that they don't have a complete interesting yeah not awful that would be that is awful yeah like chlorinated or yeah you don't know right right right can you drink it can you and if you did what happens is your colon and stomach become a nightmare like i feel bad i feel bad if any of you all have all that we apologize for ever complaining about allergies in the spring okay i officially can deal with it with what little i have compared to compared to 90 percent of these all right we have an update too uh we talked the other day about japan and their low vaccine numbers and i guess you got the skinny so i did yeah berry uh texted me he also let me know that he when he was in japan he did

have some uh raw chicken sashimi and uh i guess that's redundant but some chicken sashimi did you like it and uh he said it was fine he said it tasted very flavorful and it was really smooth and delicious okay well since we're talking about berry we have to do this Barry. All right, go ahead. Continue. Chill. So he says,

Hello, good, sir, for FYI, Japan's low percentage of vaccination. Two reasons that I'm aware of. Number one, they believe they would be able to create a vaccine, which just hasn't happened yet, so they have a limited supply being imported. Also, culturally, they also expect doctors to administer the vaccine. So there's huge backlog to get shots delivered,

unlike here where nearly any medical professional could and is administering the shots. Oh, so I don't trust. some old basic phlebotomist or whatever. They don't trust whatever the Walgreens employee equivalent is in Japan to do it. It's got to be an actual doctor. Okay. I was having this like, I'd put it on Twitter, but I was having this feeling of like,

like maybe I got to placebo because I really had no adverse reactions. I was a little tired, but that could have been just me being tired. Yeah. So I've been thinking about it all the time. And a bunch of people said, well, go get an antibody test. they'll tell you if it's if it did or not or if you know if it's all in your whatever but i just can't get out of my head that it's been really so many people struggled so hard with their vaccines and had like three days down or 36 hours out or whatever yeah but you only hear about the bad

stories is the thing you're not hearing from the other people who say oh yeah it's fine for me i had no problems you know there there's a lot of people out there but you just hear about the stories of like oh yeah that that second dose knocked me on my butt right i guess i just I'd like to have like an indicator light or something. Yeah, right. Just to say, oh, yeah, you're good. You had the thing, clearly. You want a checkbox.

You want, like, achievement unlocked, vaccinated kind of thing. I do, I do have, so I have to get blood tests in June, early June for just follow-up. And I wonder if I can sync that in there and just say, hey, can you guys also do like a little, you know, unit deal? Yeah, I mean, people, everybody's got a different physiology. They're going to react with different way. Right. I mean, I do have that second penis, but that was, I was. told that was going to happen. I was told

beforehand. That's the Johnson and Johnson Johnson Johnson. That's right. Three Johnson's and you're out. Okay. Hey, it's Babel Real Time, guys. Look at this. We're going to have some fun. We're going to play something akin to a family

feud. You may have heard of it. We call it Tabooly feud. That's right. And that means one of you is going to call in at 801-4710462. And we're going to welcome our pal Brian Dunaway by playing this. Hey, Brian Dunaway. Welcome back to Babel Royale. How are you this morning? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. I'm doing fantastic.

Oh, that's so good to hear. That's really good to hear. I'm so happy to hear that you're doing fantastic and that you're here again to play another round of Tad Pooley feud. We have a listener on the line. Let's find out who it is. Hi, thanks for holding. Who's this? Hi, it's T. T.B. Travis. Well, hello, T. TV's Travis. All right. This is a good opportunity. TV's Travis. News just broke. uh some time ago you and i had an interaction on twitter about this but i thought of you first given your your love of all things um highlander highlander so it's looking like henry cavil you know superman uh and geraldta rivia geraldta gralta rivia will probably be uh the new highlander and we don't know anything else besides that other than some creators and some other stuff but we don't know who the like the kirkin would be or any of that uh or if they'd even follow that liner or if this is even like a remake or a continuation of that world or whatever how did you feel

do you remember where you were are you stoked about it or are you like oh no the purest in me doesn't want any of this to happen no i am stoked about it actually uh audy and i um talked about it last night after we got done recording let's watch highlander for a while and we're both really excited about it henry cavill is a huge highlander fan he put a post on his Instagram talking about how he grew up watching the movies and the show and how much he loves it. So we're both really stoked. That's awesome. He seems so cool though too. He's like such a chill dude and likes nerdy shit and doesn't apologize for it and yeah. And he's in a position now where he can say, oh, I like the Witcher. Sure, I'll be in your Witcher because I play that

video game, right? Like he'd be in a wow movie if they asked him like he'd do all that stuff and I love that. Anyway, all right. That's awesome. People should check out that show because if you like Highland or boy, boy, howdy. Do these guys like Highland? a lot. Brian, let's explain to TV's Travis how this works and what he could win today. I would be happy to. It's time to play

the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tad pool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers that they gave us. And it's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. TV's Travis, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be

working with either Scott or Brian. And if you're a wins you get a prize package that includes a film sack party pack yep three DVDs one of which film sack has sacked yeah i'll even stick a couple of prints and extra bonus stuff in there but but basically they'll all be real three not crummy movies they might be good but a three pack i feel like this is an appropriate get for tvs travis yeah i feel like it's too yeah yeah i do too i'm glad he called him that makes me happy uh well he doesn't get it if he doesn't win right so uh and to win. He needs to play. We all need to play, and you guys need a topic. So, put your hands on

your buzzers. Oh, okay. Now we position that. All right. Let's do a quick buzzer test because I've had this window for a long time. It seems to work. Seems to work. Let me try it. All right. We've already confirmed it works. All right. All right. We as the tadpool, 327 Tadpoolers responded, what's your favorite post-apocalyptic movie? That's not? Yeah. Waterworld, because I think you're going to say it's not Mad Max Fury Road,

is what you're going to say. Show me, Waterworld. Number one, baby. Woo! Number one. All right, TV Straves. Are you going to finish the question? I'll finish the question.

The full question is. All right, go ahead. What's your favorite post-apocalyptic movie that's not set in the Mad Max universe? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It was exactly. I'm really glad Brian got the was not in there before. Yes, I know.

I should have stopped, really. But then if my brain is working right, I would know what a weird question that is and would have hopefully would have assessed that out. Right. You would have known that it would be like pandering for me to say, what's your favorite post-apocalyptic movie? Oh, wow. Burb-dur-d-d-d-er-d-mer. Okay. All 300 of you said that makes fear, oh, whoa.

So I feel pretty good about, Travis, about maybe going. Somebody just, do the bewitch sound? Did I just hear? Yes, you did. What? Is that your text message notification? Yep. Wait, who do you have that assigned to, or is that everybody?

Samantha. To someone. I won't say right now. Planet's Crabbits. Nice going. I swear, we get so personal in this show sometimes. Yeah, we do.

Tell us all the things. What did they say? Who texted you? Yeah, what is it about? When will you be answering them? How many emojis were used in that text? Can we just play the gang? So, Travis, I like a lot of these.

Obviously, I'm a fan of the genre. But do you have anything that pops out? I was thinking like Book of Eli, maybe. Yeah, Book of Eli would be one that I would think of. All right, let's try that. Book of Eli, let's go with. All right, show me, Book of Eli. Oh, yeah, for sure.

Okay, I love that movie. Number three, I should say, for our audio listeners. It felt like one of the last movies that, I can't think of his name now, the act. Denzel Washington? No, the other bad guy. Denzel Washington? No. He played, he's in everything now and wins Oscar.

all the time. The Mank. Oh, Gary Oldman. Gary Oldman. Geez, Gary Oldman. Gary Oldman used to do a lot of genre stuff. Yeah. Fifth Element, that's a million other things. And it feels like this is the last thing he did where he's like, yeah, I'm not doing those anymore. Now it's all prestige work. It feels like. So I adore that movie for him being willing to still do it at his age. You played Sid Vicious, let's not forget. Yeah, right? Right. Back in the day. Yeah. Sexy Pills. crystal there. All right.

Let's see. Travis, anything jump out? I mean, we can stay on the Kevin Costner train and go with the postman. Oh, yes, but I mean, it's kind of bad, but I also think it fits. So let's say the postman. Let's do it. All right. Ring twice if you're the postman.

Oh, number nine on the list, low on the list. Damn. But it's on the list. It is on the list. waiting for us to watch that for film sex because I've never seen it and I know if I were to watch it the next week we'd want to do it for film sex so it's also nine miles nine years long I think it's pretty long so we don't know if we'll ever get to it um all right uh how about uh um I don't know if this counts well okay a clarification question for Brian real sure sure you know that isn't Fury Road was your thing yeah no I said that's not set in the Mad Max universe oh you said Mad Max universe okay that So, yeah, no Thunderdome, no road warrior. How do you feel about, so I recently started the season two with that their Snowpiercer deal. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

I like the movie, so let's go Snowpiercer. That feels fitting. Show me Snowpiercer. Oh, that was a long one. Oh, my gosh. I decided to do a little suspense. Brian did that on purpose. That's like in season's.

pretty good uh yeah i just started it seems seems fine so far i'd like the i don't know i'd like i like i like where that thing goes i'd still think the main dude's miscast i just don't he digs yeah he's he's great i think that guy's awesome i just don't think he fits in here i don't know why it could be anybody else um all right oh oh boy we're in a weird place um what's the what's the um the will smith business where uh oh i am legend yeah that that's the one right where the vampire yeah the dog yeah all right uh yeah uh the will smith business we'll just call it that all right show me fred fred what are you doing fred oh it's in there right uh uh would uh number five by the way for for all the old listeners oh yeah number five sorry we have visual here for us okay

sorry Travis what you can say would wallie count as post apocalyptic well with the tadpoolers probably because that feels like some of them might pull that one so let's do let's do it it's one of my favorites i love how that whole first half of that movie looks it's so cool oh it's fantastic yeah it's really good even a fred willer showing up on a big screen all right go ahead oh fred will all right all right sadpool loves wally number four all right number four so two six seven and eight still un unturned over unpaid Do you think the, oh, they have to count. Either the old or the new planet of the apes. Yeah, Planet of the Apes movies. Right, those count. Should, especially the old ones. But there's no way that they went anything more than just the title Planet of the Apes.

Like they're not going to go beneath the planet. That's not going to be it. Battle for the Planet of the Apes. Yeah, let's say, planet of the apes. Let's see if that fits. I'm nervous. Planet of the Apes. Anything in the Planet of the Apes world?

Ah, shit. Really? Yeah. Led you astray. All right. Number 16 on the list, by the way, was the Planet of the Apes franchise. And those new ones are awesome, by the way. People should watch those if they haven't.

Mm-hmm. There. Yeah. All right. Dunaway, it's your chance finally to do something. Yes. Get some stuff on the board here, Brian. You've been not medically eliminated, but at least.

You know, I would, I have a, if I could do it, I would go see zombie land. I would be, I would be down with that in the future, maybe. Oh, I didn't think of zombie movies. That's right, because the sequel, did the sequel come out and just didn't make much of a dent, or is it not out yet? No, it's, it's, it's, it's come out already. It has come out already? Yeah, hasn't come out already? Yeah, because we've watched it.

Did we? Well, we didn't. Not us. When I say we, I mean, my family and I. The Royal Wee. The Royal Wee. All right. Anyway, show me Zambiland.

Oh, well done. Number five, number six. Good. Yeah. Well done. I want to be... You've done one. Um, how's about...

Oh, it's on Amazon. Double tap. Zombie land. Double tap, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's out. Now, does it have to be the specific movie or just the franchise?

Well. Like That's a good point actually. The Tadpool answered pretty generally with franchise stuff. Okay, all right, good, good.

That's what I want to know. Okay. So I'm going to go with the, it was Terminator Salvation, right? That was the one that was actually mostly in the future. All of them kind of mentioned it, but yeah. That's good. Got to be a good one.

It's actually sick in the future. Yeah. All right. Show me Terminator Salvation. Oh, man. Any of the Terminators? Let's just take Terminators off the board. Numbers 24 and 25 were Terminator and Terminator 2.

Okay. The same number of people put Terminator as Terminator 2. No Terminator Salvation, though, surprisingly. Yeah. All right. Well, now that we're thinking of zombies and stuff, right um what do you like well one that one that popped into my head was uh judge dread or dread oh i love dread so much dread is so good that movies why did that stop why weren't there

more what happened there because we're the only people that saw it i guess dude it was so good carl over made a great dread he did and what seriously was a was an awesome bad lady in the tall building and now it's just a badass movie but yeah all right dread we like dread All right. Show me Dread. Damn it. We like, we like Dred.

Dred we like. Dread number 30, it looks like 30 on the list. And just to get it off of there as well, Judge Dredd number 50 on the list. Boo! Although, yeah, the lone one sucks, but whatever. Yeah. One person said that was their favorite post-apocalyptic movie that's not in the Mad Max universe.

Wow. I want to meet. that person and then give them a dollar or something i don't know i'm about to feel the temperature of the tadpool and see if oh careful if these people are uh these people are what what age group they are i'm going to go with the uh the the matrix oh that's a good one that's good all right show me the matrix number two there it is well done i don't know totally totally even think about that one. Me neither.

Redeemed. You may not have gotten a lot of points, but you redeemed yourself by getting the number two answers. That doesn't mean, but it feels a little bit better now. That doesn't mean, by the way, that those sequels were any good. It just means that's a cool world. Well, no. We're just naming places, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. At this point, because the way the question was phrased, well, is it your favorite?

Yeah, I said, what's your favorite post-apocalyptic movie? That's not... See, when I think of favorite, I think of places I'd like to go, but I guess it could just be, you know, it's just a cool idea. You don't want to go to any of these. You're all terrible places to go. Right, right.

True. Apocalyptic is also different than dystopic, which is a very fine line. Yes. That's a good point, too. So you've got to be careful there. Like I would have said, well, maybe I won't say it in case you say it. But there's a certain movie where I love it, but it's not apocalyptic as much as it is dystopic. There's, yeah, they're dystopian.

There's, there's, it's funny because there's some interesting choices lower in the list. that are like, okay, um, all right, sure, I guess, yeah. Yeah, I guess you could say that. Maybe, kind of. Right. All right, dunghole, way. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wow.

Back off, brother. How about the, uh, how about the Cornetto trilogy? I would go with Sean of the Dead. How about that? Sure. All right, show me Sean of the, well, show me any of the Coronado trilogy. Yeah, Sean of the Dead and World's End both made it on to the list. I'm not sure why the World's End did, but Sean of the Dead was actually number 12.

So it was pretty close. Maybe World's end's there because it's like about the end of the world and that sounds apocalyptic. Yeah, but it's, but it's half of the movie is pre-apocalyptic. You're right. You're right. True. I like, this isn't my answer, but I'll bet somebody on that list said Blade Runner and they shouldn't have because that's dystopic, not a apocalyptic so it probably shouldn't be on that list unless it's on there now brian

silence is making me nervous yeah i mean i can i can definitely see people putting out on that um all right and reveal us nothing how about 28 days later how about that Travis that's a good one that's a good one 28 days and weeks and all that i love those movies sure show me 28 uh time periods later. Damn it. Oh. Yeah, 28 days later was number 13. 28 weeks later was number 19.

They should be flipped. The second one's a better movie. Come at me. I need to see that one. Now I'm a little concerned. Travis, when you see it, let me know what you think, because I think the second one is awesome. Oh, my gosh.

I will, because I really like 28 days later. They're both great. Don't get me wrong, but there's some. I just love that second one. I don't know why. Anyway. All right. Done away, you got two answers left on the board.

one strike left I'm feeling like we've already mentioned it and this may go towards what Scott was saying but then you've kind of mouseed back and forth about the dystopian question we're going to be watching we're going to be watching the Dead's this weekend

another The Dead's movie so I'm going to go with the Dawn of the Dead Okay Don of the Dead the Best one Show me, yeah, well, there's several you can choose from, but you don't have to choose, right? Any Don of the Dead. Show me, Don of the Dead. Yeah, number, it was on the list.

Fairly high, I thought. Hmm. No. Day of the Dead. No, I'm wrong. No, it's one person. Yeah, it's low. It's lower on it.

Oh, no, there it is right there. 22. 22. Is it Night of the Living Dead is on there probably? No? Maybe. Nope. Number seven is

Children of Men Nobody mentioned that one I thought about that early when you said 28 days later But I was like, no That's not Popular enough Yeah

Right Here's the one you did mention And you shrugged it off Blade Runner's not Most apocalyptic though It's dystopic It's dystopic yeah That doesn't count

Who put that in there You bunch of weirdos You're 12 people put that in there You just insult to 12 catpoolers I hope you're happy. That's right. Here are some other ones that didn't make the top 10. The Road.

Hunger Games. Escape from New York slash escape from L.A. Rain of Fire, 12 monkeys. A quiet place. Avengers Endgame, which I kind of not exactly sure how that fits. Omega Man, which was the original. I can see. I can see if you're saying, well, post-apocalyptic, though.

Like, the disappearing of everybody is pretty apocalyptic, but everyone... I mean, X-Men Dark Phoenix is post-apocalyptic because it came out after X-Men Apocalypse. Oh, there you go. Oh, hey, see? Ah, you. 10 Gloverfield Lane, a boy and his dog, Blade Runner 2049, damnation alley, dune, idiocracy, Logan's run. Dune.

Logan's run, that would have been great. Why is Dune on there? I don't know. Star Trek First Contact is on there because... Dune's not all right. Alternate anything. Dune's a science fiction story about it. It's not like, oh, the post-apocalyptic tale of Dune. It doesn't work. That's weird.

Right. Day after Tomorrow, 2012, anything else funny in this list. Demolition Man, Edge of Tomorrow. Oh, Edge of Tomorrow was awesome. What a cool movie that is. Despite the fact that I said, No Mad Max, people still said, Man Max Fury Road, Matt Scott Tadpool Road, and Shmad, Schmack's Shmerish Mode. Whoever did that, you have my respect. That's great.

The host, the Divide, Tank Girl, Spaceballs. Space balls? What? That's hilarious. Serenity, six-string samurai. Okay. Some weird choices on there, but there you go. Also, Serenity, dystopic, not post-apocalyptic, but whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Once again, this game's not about accuracy as much as it's about... It's about... the tadpool things yeah that's the question right uh still serenity the movie i've seen the most times of 23 i think now is what i'm at 23 times of seeing serenity and i could watch it again right now i love that movie so freaking much oh my gosh well we might be pretty close to the same on that one yeah i know i've seen it uh many many times than star wars for me like i don't know what the deal is with serenity but i'll just watch it it's so sure it is uh all right well hey

there you go oh boy there's arguments about how serenity is post-apocalyptic i don't know you guys i don't know uh well hey tv stravis the good news is that you've won winner winner chicken dinner not only that it's our first of these uh film sack party packs and i'm very excited to send these out and see what you think uh so all you got to do is email me it'll be coming for me so send me an email scott at frogpants.com and i will hook you up with your fine prize package is there anything you'd like to say as you bask in your win uh Uh, I got nothing. Well done.

Travis is a good guy. We're glad he was on the show today. Good people. Good people that TV is Travis. Hey, Brian, so how are you doing? You get it over there? You feel all right about your loss? Yeah, I'd be better if we, you know, I don't know.

I had a chance to answer. You got to just buzz in early. Like, you know. Dude, I know. Yeah. I don't, what, what discord? Are you in the? Are we on the Discord West server or something?

Let me find out. I can tell you. We are on. I have never, I have never, yeah, I have never beat Scott at the buzzer. No. And I mean, I have pressed the button before I've heard Scott hit the buzzer and still. Well, currently it's on U.S. West, but I think it's like, it's like less than like 0.8 millisecond ping or something. I don't think, I don't think it counts.

Of course. But I could move it to South next week. just to ferret up a little bit. We'll see how that... Fair it up. If it would be like this. Name something that... Don't forget, by the way, this weekend,

Film Sack is going to do something we haven't done since Force Awakens and even more so, because it's actually on Netflix and we can do clips and everything. We're watching the Zach Snyder Army... Sorry, what is it? Army of the Dead. Army of the Dead. Army of the Dead.

We're watching a movie that is a week old, or two weeks old. if you saw in theaters. Yep, and I have stayed, not that the kind of movie needs spoilers or whatever, but I've stayed pretty far away from it. I know there's a lot of... Oh, I heard about one spoiler that I'm bummed I heard about.

Oh, really? Yeah. The only thing I knew about it coming into it is that Tignitaro was never there at the same time. Like, she has yet to meet Dave Batista because she's digitally put in later. She was added afterwards to her place. Somebody else.

Chris Delia or whoever, that comedian that got in trouble for, groom in some 17-year-old or whatever the hell was going on with that. Which is fine with me. Put TIG and everything. Like, you know, go back and put TIG in all the shows. I agree. She's awesome. But anyway, that's all I know.

So I'm going in with fresh eyes. We're watching it tonight because we've got trivia tomorrow night and we're going to go see a quiet place too in an actual movie theater on Friday night. I'll bet that theater will be a quiet place is my thinking. It better be.

Yeah, Black Widow's going to be my first. A couple of weeks. Oh, yeah? Oh, I know. Well, a month. A month and a half. Oh, is it a month? Oh, is it July?

That's a lot of a crap. Yeah. You guys get stuff late down there. You just got Temple of Doom and unleaded gas and, you know. We all get a little bit in June. What you can do, though, is you can download, what should we call it, Loki, the first couple episodes of Loki. and then onto your iPad and then take that iPad into a theater. Yeah.

And there you go. There's your M-C-U film. That will not annoy anyone. Do that. Not at all. Not at all. Brian Dunaway, we'll see you this weekend for that film sack. And also check out the boop show yesterday.

We had a great time. Talked about games. And you'll want to check that out. That's at frogpance.com slash B-O-O-P. Bye now. All right. All right. He's gone.

What time we got? Oh, you know what? I got time for one story. One piece of news. Yeah, here it is. it's time for the quick news brought to you by brought to you by america's next top podcaster the final challenge is going to be going up uh today the last submissions by our two finalists find out how they did listen to them uh today

at america's next top podcaster dot com careful everybody in uh florida because a giant chunk of ice has fallen from the sky and landed on a florida home's roof oh no it's got to be frozen pee from a plane, right? Frozen peas, Scott? What else is this going to be? Have to be, right? Palm City homeowner had a large heavy piece of ice fall through their roof on Wednesday, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office.

Deputy, he's posted on Facebook writing this. A startling start to the morning for homeowner and Danforth community in Palm City, after a large heavy piece of ice filled through the sky and landed on the home's roof. They just repeated everything I already told you. Photo show a hole in the

roof. There's a hole in the roof. There's a hole in the the roof. And there's a very thick piece of ice on the ground. Thankfully, the ice hit the edge of the room, or sorry, ice hit the edge of the room and hit the ground outside and not inside the home. Deputies said there were no injuries to report other than the damage that it caused. There's no explanation, they say, for where it came from. However, if it was blue ice, then yes, it's one of those. Yeah, for sure, it's for sure, plain pee. Yeah. But what else would be? In the papers today. there's a hole in the roof My position is causing me suspicion

But there's no proof See? Brian doing the old hits Old crowded house right there I did I did merge a couple lyrics Because they do sing There's a hole in the roof

But the papers today was Earlier For those who are like Wait I know this reference here There's a hole in the roof That's from film sax That's right A long time ago

Sorry you were saying I catch you off there Oh no I was just saying that I took lyrics from two different verses and put them together. It's not important. No, well, I mean, it is for those who are burgeoning. Those are the purists, the crowded house purists out there complaining, but whatever. They exist.

They're out there. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt will be here talking the morning's tech headlines. And, of course, after that, Nicole, with recommendals, I watch something that I cannot believe is my first time seeing it. And I loved it so much. Ooh, can't wait to hear about it. Yeah, bum that I, and it's going to be annoying to some people why I avoided it, and I'm bad at it. Oh, no.

That's all right. It'll all come around. But that'll be here in a bit before that, though, a mid-show break with some sort of indie in the middle from Brian Nibit. That's right. This is a band that people probably know about, a band called AFI. These guys grew up in Northern California and got together to form the band. They are leaders, not followers, a collective in a perpetual state. creative evolution is fluid as the evocative figures contorting on the cover of their

brand new album, which is coming out here at the beginning of June, called Bodies. Here is the first single from the album, actually second and third single from the album, but guitarist Jade Puget says that this is not only his favorite song on the album, but an exemplification of the evolution of the band. Here is Tied to a Tree by AFI. In the blackest hole Hit the widest hair With this bare big eyes

You knew I once mine Bound by dying stars To a burning tree You give searing stairs Tired up by your hair Where we used to be You see how we're woke In the dying lights

Down the blackest Down the blackest hole chase the rape and flee for his pale pink eyes still

belong to me by a dying star to a burning tree you're up and by your head and I left you there Where we used to be To see how it would luck

In the dying lights We used to be To see how could you look In my dying lights Fair with me hair with me in the blackness, with the pink eyes, in the blackest hole. Where we used to be See how we would look

In the dying lights where we used to meet to see how could you look in my dying lights What are we used to me To see how you're not In the dark In the dying lights

Hey guys, let's talk about my new favorite thing. I've been trying this RISE app. And I don't know, I felt like I needed a little bit of science in my sleep habits. And RISE has brought it to me. They've helped me improve my sleep, my daily energy, all that sort of stuff. It's, I mean, think of it this way. Sleep is as necessary as air, food, water. You know, we need it.

We don't even know all the full reasons why, but we just know we do. And lots of myths and misunderstandings and misinformation out there about it. But, well, let me ask you this. Did you know that it's normal to feel groggy when you wake up and sluggish in the afternoon? I didn't know this. I thought that was a problem with me. But it's normal. Now, it's not normal to feel tired throughout the entire day.

And that's probably an indication that you're carrying what they call sleep debt on this app, limiting your natural energy peaks, making your dips less productive. that sort of thing. So you can become a morning person. Why not? And don't worry. You don't have to stop using your phone before bed. You know, you can do it without buying a new mattress or supplements or, you know, a weighted blanket or whatever.

I mean, unless you're cold and you need some, you know, comfy TV watching or whatever. Those are fine. But Rise uses a scientific, fact-based approach to help you get the sleep your body needs. And it's built around the two principles that sleep researchers agree most affect how we feel and perform. sleep debt and circadian rhythm you probably heard that latter thing before sleep debt is the you know the only sleep score that matters rise tracks how much sleep you uh you owe your body hence the word debt relative to your own unique sleep need and it helps you pay that debt back your circadian rhythm dictate your personal energy peaks

and dips throughout the day rise not only predicts your daily energy schedule but it helps you take better control of it works by pulling historical data from your apps and wearables to tell you where you're going to need more sleep, helps you track the sleep debt, and determine the best way for you to get to sleep. All right? Every morning, Rise tells you how long you'll be groggy. When your focus times will be and when you should start winding down for better sleep. With Rise, you can improve 16 science-based habits that will help you reduce your sleep debt

and optimize your day based on your energy schedule. I struggled with this. and in just the first few minutes of using the app I felt better about it because of that understanding knowing that that's okay at about 2.2.30 to feel a little tired. It's okay to have a little sleep inertia in the morning and feeling like, did I really get enough rest? Maybe you did.

You just, you know, it takes a minute. You're a little groggy or whatever. Rise helps you realize your potential with actual real results, real productivity, real performance, real well-being. 80% of Rise users just fill the benefit within five days. Give it a try and see what you you know what you think see what it can do for you go to rise science.com slash tms and download the

rise app today for a free seven day trial uh seven days totally free and you'll know and like they say in the first five whether it's working for you or not whether you want to become a morning person wake up more or fresh be less exhausted by the end of the day or improve your productivity and daily energy rise is the power behind your next best day that's rise science com slash TMS to try the RISE app for seven full days. I'm DJ Funnybone, and this is my hoe. Hi, sorry. Money is Honey is Honey. This is the morning stream.

You guys want to hear one-year-old Nick in 2001? Listen to this. Oh, sure. This is him right here. How's that he? Oh, he was so cute. Oh. Hi, Daddy.

Hi, Daddy. He was adorable. How's he doing? He's doing all right? He's doing great. He's looking very likely that this move to Maine is happening. Maine? Wow.

Even though he just kind of, I feel like he just got there. I'm trying to get as far away from my parents as possible. It does feel like it. I was talking to him last. night and um i don't know he's he's just you know you're 21 you're going you got you got you're you're figuring stuff out you're loving it you're doing it and he's got like uh you know a real opportunity there and i don't know i'm excited for him he's doing good he's doing great but it's weird to think that just 20 years ago he said that's just weird

all right um speaking of weird actually it's the least weird guest we have every week let's get you know Let's get Tom Merritt in here. He's not that weird. It's Tom. Yeah, he's not so weird. With the computer as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man who's not weird is Tom Merritt, and he joins us here like he does every Wednesday on the morning screen.

I know why. Maybe a little bit. Maybe a little weird. A little. I'm fine with that. Yeah. Look, embrace your weird and then. Give it a big old hug.

Profit after that. Profit on your weird. That's what I say. Third step, profit. Profit. Hey, it's Tom, and he's here. We're talking tech in the morning on Wednesdays like we always do all ahead of the Daily Tech News show a little bit later today. I like it because it gets me in the mood and the role of being on there later today. So I'm very excited about that. Tom, what's going on in the world of tech this morning? I am upgrading several web servers to PHP 7.4. Oh, my Lord. Oh, good. Wow. About time. Yeah. Well done. Thanks, everybody. well done

make sure you're all up to date on your mySQL access business half sure yeah yeah no I figure what we would talk about is Amazon buying MGM studios and becoming an even bigger conglomerate

if you're an Amazon Prime video viewer this will benefit you Amazon's going to get a big old pile of intellectual property Rocky Handmaid's Tale is produced by MGM Doesn't mean that Hulu will lose the rights to it

But you know There might be spin-offs or something in there Who knows? Not sure what those deals are with Hulu and Disney They also make Fargo for FX as well Rocky is in the Is in the MGM family there So a lot of good stuff That Amazon can not only add to Prime Video

But also spin-off of and try to develop new properties, as well as owning the Epics movies service. If you watch Epic, if you subscribe to Epics, that will, when this eventually becomes a done deal, would be an Amazon-owned property. So who knows what they'll do with Epic's. Yeah.

I was waiting for you to mention James Bond. Oh, yeah. Yeah, James Bond. I don't know that one, James Bond. Who is this James Bond? Is he a banker of some sort? James Bond is huge. But here's the thing to remember about James Bond, while they own the catalog and they own the rights to negotiate with the broccoli family, the broccoli estate owns James Bond.

So they don't get to, this is a little like doing Tolkien, right? The reason that Amazon is doing Lord of the Rings for Tolkien rather than the Silmarillion is they would have to go to the Tolkien estate and get all new rights for Silmarillion. but with Lord of the Rings they could go and get the existing rights that were owned and spin off of them because there was already approval there. So with the bond stuff, it's

certainly huge and they're going to be the ones that continue to administer that franchise but it's not as doesn't give them as free of a hand there. That said, we're going to see new bond movies coming out of MGM under Amazon and possibly other properties.

Who knows? So I'm looking at the numbers here, if this is accurate. Rotten Tomatoes has a breakdown of the libraries. MGM's library catalog features over 4,000 movies and 17,000 TV shows. I wonder if that means episodes of TV shows, probably. It might mean actual shows. It could be shows, yeah. Simply because, you know, MGM has been around forever.

MGM predates television. So there's a lot in that library that, that, you know, piles up over the decades. Not all of it is going to be extraordinarily valuable. Really what Amazon gets here is parody with Disney, NBC, Viacom, CBS, where you now have a movie studio, a television studio, a library of intellectual property, and a successful streaming service, which are considered to be the four things you need to have to win in media these days. You need to have all of those. Right. And this puts them in the, and,

that competitive advantage. Here's the thing I would say. Without having a legacy cable broadcast platform that they have to navigate. So they get the advantage of being able to leap a little farther ahead. Also, Netflix is having to build all this from scratch, which they seem to be perfectly happy to do because then they don't have any ties. They can decide exactly what they want to be. But that's a lot harder to do than going and buy an MGM.

When this goes through FEC approval here, the two rules they're going to have. Okay. SEC, yes. What I say? FEC, I didn't mean that. SEC. Yeah, federal election commission probably won't have much to say. Good point.

I could have said FDC and that, I don't even know where I'd be then. FTC would not possibly be applicable. I could have said FTP and then I'd have to worry about files and encryption. Could have said OPP. I could have said OPP. I'm not down with that one, though. Yeah, I'm not down with OPP. Okay.

So anyways, the big rule should be take the lion out of the little hole in the logo. and put Jeff Bezos with that laugh his in there. His laughing like, like he does. That's what I want. Before every film starts, I want that logo and that sound. They have done spinoffs of the MGM logo in the past, right?

Where they put like different things in the... Animated, like, Daffy Duck or something in the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mary Tyler Moore famously had the cat instead of the lion, M-T-Mtm. M-TM So yeah, I don't know Maybe certain Amazon Studios productions Could do something I like that line

I like when they get creative I like her intro logos to get creative I like when Waterworld did Universal And Universal logo came around And then the world all the all the You know it's the normal planet logo But then the water rises and covers all the land Perfect. It's the perfect use of that

Sometimes Paramount does it with the cool stars some kind of weird combo The Indiana Jones ones are famous for the Mountain turning into something at the beginning of the Indiana Jones. Oh, right, like an actual mountain or something or whatever. Yeah, exactly. I love that kind of thing. So more of that. I do too. By the way, that's... I did a whole

set of quizzes on those for Frank Pants All-Stars back in the back to where this is all sounding like a familiar conversation to me because I was like, why is this but with us here, why is this sound so familiar because we did that. But sorry, Utah connection, I have to mention Mount Baldy is the mountain they

they base that on hold on oh really yeah the paramount mountain is mount baldy that's mount baldy over there and just south of north of ogden yeah but it's the side that looks better than the other side if that makes any sense make sure you capture my best side yeah yeah anyway most mount baldies so this is just slightly more than a than a full Bethesda uh in terms of value yes it's uh it's just about two thirds of a whole foods yeah see there you go so this is why i always do this because I'm fascinated with the concept of value and how you on a massive scale like this like how do you actually break down value and to me I'm like all right well the Bethesda thing at 7.9 billion and this at 8 point whatever like the difference between him is crazy

4,000 shows 17,000 TV shows and over here it's like eight properties uh mostly you're buying elder scrolls and uh fallout and you know potential future stuff and then some other IPs mixed in there but it's such a different kind of thing that you're buying that it's impossible for me to understand how the same money is still worth what it's worth here versus there.

It's always worth potential earnings. That's how these numbers are created. Okay. It's like, how much do you think you'll make off this and how long are you willing to take to make your money back before you start profiting from the acquisition? To boil it down to brass tax, that's what it is.

MGM was valued at something around $5 billion in 2019, I believe. So it's possible it's become more valuable just because of the value of content these days and owning content. But pretty much everyone agrees that Amazon overpaid a little bit just to make sure they got it. They probably also agree that they can because they're Amazon. They got cash. Yeah. They got cash to spend. They wanted to make sure they got it. They got it. And now they're going to have it. I actually haven't seen an estimate of when they think this will close. Oh, yeah. That's curious. That part of it. The timing is always interesting to me. Also, are they going to make a Robocop series? I would like an answer right away on that, please, because now they own Robocop. So if you own Robocop, do you make a series? Well, that's probably the first thing they're going to do when they sit down is like, all right, what's the time?

timeline for the Robocop series before we get to anything else. Absolutely. They're going to fill that boardroom. They're going to bring water out for everybody. They're going to have snacks. And then they're going to say, all right, first thing on the dollar. Robocop. What are we doing with it? And then they'll make the best decision of their lives, hopefully. Yes. All right. Well, this is interesting. I can't wait to talk more about it today on the show because it's a big move. Yeah, on the Tech News show, I probably am going, because we talked about this a lot when the rumor or when the leak that they were negotiating first came out. So on DTS, I think we're going to talk quite a bit about Amazon as a conglomerate.

Yeah. And the fact that that they are, they've gone from being a bookstore to a retail store to a retail store with web services. And now they own a movie studio and a grocery chain and pharmaceuticals. And like they are, they're kind of an 80s conglomerate now. Yeah. They're big deal. I don't this has no effect on like MGM casino stuff, right? That that brand is spun out and someone else control all that, I think, Brian, right? Probably, yeah. I mean, I know they are connected, but I don't know. I think it's just... Like, originally, wasn't it just like them saying,

hey, we'll use the MGM name and brand and really blow out this Hollywood, you know? Because they did the whole, I mean, you know, the original, well, not the original. Yes, MGM Resorts International is its own company. Okay. that owns casinos, hotels, and entertainment and resorts. I don't even think they licensed the name. I'm guessing here. They were connected to the beginning because they had the wizard of Oz.

They were spun out from MGM. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I assume they license intellectual property. But the name MGM resorts, I think when they spun out as their own company, I think they got the rights to be like, you know, as long as MGM resorts. MGM Studios doesn't go into hotels. We can use that name because that's the way trademarks work. You can have the same name as something else as long as there's no possibility of confusing the two.

Nobody's going to say like, oh, are you the movie studio? And like, no, sir, this is a hotel. No, sir, this is a Wendy's. Right. It feels like there's not going to be too much trouble there. They'll be okay. Yeah, yeah. But that would be interesting if Amazon went and bought MGM resorts.

So they need, what they need is. We're going to collect the whole set. Put the big blue Bezos out front where that line is now. Oh, replace it. Sure. There you go. Yeah. You just want to replace all the lions. Kind of the same. Have him laughing every time you walked out of there with less money than you walked in. How come Andy Jassy doesn't get any love from you, Scott?

I don't know. I haven't. You know, you always like to think it's Bezos all the time everywhere, but obviously there are more people involved. It was Agatha Bezos all along. It was always her, him, him, her. All right. Well, well done, everybody. We're going to talk more about this later. Can't wait. 2.30 Mountain Time for the Daily Tech News Show. I'll be there with Tom, of course, and Sarah and Roger. It'll be great. So please come and enjoy that. But, Tom, you probably have something else. People could enjoy. In the meantime, what else you got going on this week? I do. I do. A brand new looking newsletter. Having a good time chatting with people where they email me. I send out the newsletter on Fridays, and I'm using a different service now. So it's got all kinds of flashy, you know, graphics and summaries and all that sort of things.

So if you want to be on the game with the rest of us, go sign up, free tom newsletter.com. Very nice. Tom Merritt, everybody, Ace Detect on Twitter. We'll see you later today. Bye now. See you, Tom. All right. His voice was out of sync, everybody. I don't know what that was.

It was. Yeah. His voice in his mouth were not moving at the same time. Yeah. Makes me wonder if he's a puppet. They got a new guy in there controlling Tom. They're not used to the job. That's right.

Hmm. Yeah. Tech talk, tech, tech, tech. Oh, shoot. I messed it up. Bitcoin, Dogecoin. B, B, B, B, B, Berc. Berc. Berc. Berc. Bercone.

I had a dream about Elon Musk the other day. But I don't remember anything about it, so I won't share it. Was he dressed as Wario? No, he's just in there, just talking and being a part of it. But that was it. I can't really explain anything else. I've been sleeping a lot better. I don't know why.

Good. Yeah, I've been sleeping better since I got back from the trip, for sure. Yeah, I think that helps. All right, let's get Nicole up in it and do some recommendals here today if I can just find her clip and also have her answer her ringing phone. Right now we have the rings of ringage, but not the rings of speakage. And that only comes after she picks up the call, and she hasn't done it yet. So I'm going to pause here. Oh, sure, she's just right there.

Okay, now we do this. Hey, you guys, look who it is. It's Nicole Spagg from beautiful downtown, not really downtown. She's in Denver, somewhere. Somewhere outside of Denver. Quite far from downtown. Yeah, not too close. I grew up in the country.

The city is a little overwhelming for me. Heck, the suburbs are a little overwhelming for me. I have this thing where I like the extremes of both sides. I would like, if somebody said, well, where would you rather be? I'd rather like to be in like a loft apartment in the middle. of the busiest part of town or in a farm with goats a million miles away. Anything in between is fine, but I like those two extremes. I like to visit and then leave.

Yep. Visit and then get the H out of there. I feel you. Yeah. Hey, it's Nicole. She comes on Wednesdays. We do recommendals, stuff on streaming services that we like. And why not, I say?

So we're going to do that today. Brian, we'll start with you with your clips here. You've got two I see this week. What would you like to start with? Both of these are films currently viewable on HBO Max, one of them very new. Another one about, I don't know, six months old or something, but we'll start with the newest one. And I'll talk more about it after the clip. All right, here it is.

It's coming from. It's not my blood. It's not my blood. All right, listen. My name is Hannah. What's yours? Fuck you. Oh, nice.

I'm a firefighter. I work with a forest service. And I can help you. All right? Talk to me and I'm going to help you, okay? Ow! All right. You know what this is.

Good luck. Good luck. Town is 12 miles that way over the continental divide. Have fun with that. Wait. Yeah? I have a radio in a tower over there. We can call the sheriff or...

No, not the sheriff, the news. Can you call the news? Yeah, sure. I can call whoever you want. It's that Angelina Jolie deal? It's exactly what it was. Yeah, those who wish me dead, brand new on HBO. It's one of these deals where it's only on for a month.

That it's in theater, right? It's in theaters now, May 14th. It came out on both services, and it'll disappear. uh in about in about a month and i'd say it's it's worth a watch here's why this is the the thing that tina i talked about all after watching this can we watch this last night yeah is that it felt like your 90s bruckheimer action disaster kind of film um it felt like watching cliffhanger really again oh weird takes place in the mountains of uh montana i believe um uh angelina Jolie plays a smoke jumper

who has who suffer like was part of a thing that went wrong years ago that's still kind of eating at her. 90s trope alert. And she finds a boy who

has gotten away from a bunch of killers. She's got to protect him and get him to somewhere safe because she's being chased by a little finger, Aidan Gillen. Oh, I love him. He's great. Nicholas Holt, who I can't think, I don't think he's been in anything. Oh, I guess he was in the, the X-Men film.

Oh, right. You may remember him as Nucks from Mad Max Fury Road. I put up the sign. Yeah, I know. We set the camera. She's also helped along the way by Punisher and a dude from the first season of Walking Dead, John Berenthal, and his earlobes. His earlobes are there? His earlobes help. They fan the flames. I thought they'd broken up and they were separate now. No, they're back together again. They realized they couldn't be apart. That's great. That's good. But this is based on a book, but it really, I mean, this feels like.

Yeah, it's based on a book. It's based on a book. But really, it feels like it's, uh, um, it just feels like it was ripped right from the 90s, a nice little 90s action film with some disaster elements. So you got to, there's some things where you kind of say, could that really happen? Yeah. And just kind of got to let it go. I have to ask, can you hear Dougie panting?

No. No, but I can see him hiding behind the desk. It's so loud, and I'm like, I'm like making sure that nobody's fine. I can hear it if I listen for it when you're talking, but that's about it. Oh, I can barely pick it up. He's just sitting there next to the desk, hilarious. Oh, my God. I don't know what he was doing.

I'm exhausted from standing up. Yeah, it's had a rough day. Sorry. I was making sure you knew it wasn't me. That dog is a crack up. I love it. I love him. All right.

Anyway, so there you go. Good star count and decent 90s style action film. If you've been missing those sorts of things. The title is very 90s. It is. Those who wish me dead. Although it's a loftier. It's a loftier title.

Yeah. It should just be smoke jumper. Yeah. It should be so like that. It is weird. It doesn't seem to match what I've heard about the movie, which it is, it is what you've describe, but the title doesn't match that, it sounds like sometimes. The title feels like

a far more important film than this really is. I think you're right. All right, so those who wish me, Dad, there's still about three weeks left of seeing it on HBO Max, and I highly recommend it. It's very good. Here's clip number two, any set up for this one?

Also, based on a book, which book will become very evident near the end of this clip. Whoa. All right, here we go. He is no professor. Ask him about debt as prison. He has extorted money for years and has followed Daisy here

to continue his efforts. Uh... Mr. Steep Gorgeous, correct. I did, to my shame, reside within prison walls. Even we draw the line at employing former convicts. And even often above that line

is where we draw the line, actually. We must part, if you please. Mr. Heap, show him out. Steve up The Corpus harmness The rogue was exploiting your chariot for good nature You should be thanking me, Daisy My name is David

Not Daisy, not drop, my name is David Copperfield Why don't you go by it? Oh, David Copperfield There you go I didn't know that was a thing Or out or whatever I'd know a couple years ago Armando Ionucci

Released a movie called A Personal or The Person History of David Copperfield, 2019. I thought it was more recent than this. What this is called? This is called The Personal History of David Copperfield. Yeah. Stars Dev Patel as David Copperfield.

And basically has every British actor that you've ever wanted to see in the same movie all in this thing. So you've got Peter Capaldi, Hugh Lorry, Tilda Swinton, Ben Winshaw, Paul Whitehouse. Is David Copperfield British? Oh, yeah. Yes. Dickens. Yeah, Charles Dickens. And it's not about a magician at all.

Amazingly. I saw that truck coming down the road, but I'm not sure I recognize it. No, that's all right. I'm really confused. David Conferville's British? Oh, it's funny. You know what's funny? He got a movie made about him.

Good for him. Good for him. David Copperfield, making the statue of Liberty disappear. And apparently growing up in. in 1850s Victorian era that's a hell of a magic trick I'm not the only one

there are people in the chat room and thought the same thing Oh yeah I'm sure there were many I'm sure A little embarrassed No and don't be Because I always wondered

What the connection was I knew the magician was You know not related To the fictional Dickens character But I always wondered What the connection was Between the two Because I thought

Oh okay I never read any of the books Never read David Copperfield But I always thought Oh, he must have been like a pickpocket or something. And that's why David Copperfield and magician took that name. So that's not his real name. No, it's not.

What's his real name? It's like Dan something. Boring. Dan Hedda. Dan something boring magic dude. Yeah. Exactly. Yep.

I make shit disappear.com is where he's from. So that's that guy. Exactly. But so this is the story of David Copperfield who grew up in a, And a poor family, kind of got not really, not really orphaned as much as his mom remarried a really, really cruel, horrible dude who put him to work in a bottle factory and, you know, kind of worked his way out of that into a slightly better life and then a slightly worse life. And then, you know, basically don't want to give away the whole story. He became a magician. he became a magician no no magic does not even does not even take place in this in this movie at all um but this is actually the origin of the band name uriah heap which if you're familiar with 70s rock and roll you know you're i heep and i didn't realize that came from david copperfield

but uh benedict wong is in here oh you had no i'm down i'm all in and all sudden that doesn't matter nobody else i love him brianne of tarth uh gwendolen Christy as the horrible sister of the guy that I just mentioned. Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's comedy drama. Like, it's comedic and dramatic in parts. The, the thing that I've heard most people complain about is that it doesn't adhere strictly to the Dickens book, that it does go off a little bit and, and, um, uh, change things for kind of more entertainment purposes. but it's it's beautifully shot it's uh it's got a great cast well acted and for someone who's

never read any dickens let alone david copperfield um i really we really enjoyed it Tina really liked it too nice that seems like and it's got a it's got a doctor in there a doctor who uh form you know a time lord that's right wait which one you already said the name but i forgot peter peter capaldi okay yeah awesome actually you hear him in that clip oh that was Okay, he's in there. And did you say Tilda Swinton's in this? Did I hear that right? Tilda Swinton's all over this thing.

She is, uh, she's so weird. I love her. She's so weird and fascinating. Yeah. She play a weird role in this one. No, she plays a, uh, kind of just a, a very nosy, uh, ant. She's, she's David Copperfield's aunt. Well, there you go.

No, she can do nosey. She's a trotwood. Yeah. She's in charge of the, uh, the, the cars of the train further up in snowper. That's right. The full train. Yeah. She's just there to yell at you for a while in the back of the train. All right. So what is it? Let's see. Currently, it's got a 92. Wow. Okay. Rotten Tomatoes got a 92% rating, an average rating of 7.6 out of 10. So it's doing pretty well.

That's pretty good. Is that one also headed to theaters or just? Also streaming on HBO Max. Right. Is it also headed to theaters after a time or no? No, this is, this came out in 2019. So it was. in theaters. Oh, gotcha. We all missed it. We all missed it.

We all missed it. Totally did. And, yeah, we picked it up because it was, Dev Patel was nominated for a Golden Globe for it back in, back earlier this year because they didn't, the way it was released, it qualified for this season's awards, not the 2020 awards. Got it. Yeah, there's a cutoff there and then you get pushed forward.

Yep, exactly. Nothing for the, for the regular Academy Awards, but Dev Patel. nominated for Best Actor. Nice. All right. I'm going to play a clip. This is a movie that I saw on Amazon Prime video. It is from 2004, is your hint.

And it's a movie that I avoided back then because I was Mr. High and Mighty on a certain point of problem. Okay, great. And I regret it now because I loved this, like, really liked it. And we'll all talk about it the other side. So let's see if you get it. I mean it. I mean it.

I'm not up for this. Okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you're stressed. Yes, hey, you're stressed. I understand that. You just keep breathing and stay calm. Are you breathing? Shit.

Are you breathing? Yes. Okay, good. All right. Is one of the mission impossibles? Nope. No, we wouldn't have any problem with a, with that. Oh, that's definitely Tom Cruise.

Definitely, Tom Cruise. TV's Travis said collateral. Is it collateral? It is collateral. Well done, TV's Travis. So Michael Mann, one of my favorite directors of all time, heat, freaking created Miami Vice on TV and then later a film, although the movie's not the best thing in the world, but whatever. Last and though, he can, like, he's an amazing director. Michael Mann is the man, to put it lightly.

He's the man with two ends. I really do like his movies. The insider's amazing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And, I mean, and Heat may be one of the greatest heist movies ever made, period. Maybe the best. I mean, I just love that movie so much.

Anyway, this is collateral, which is not any of those movies. It's a movie with Tom Cruise as a hitman who still even at the end is a little bit mysterious in terms of his origins or why he's there. And his cab driver played by, oh, Muhammad Ali. Jamie Fox. James. My name, my brain went blank. Jamie Fox, he also, Michael Mann also directed Alley, which is why these guys are working together again. But anyway, he's a cab driver, just kind of doing his job. And a bunch of stuff happens where he ends up with Tom Cruise as his passenger.

And then unwittingly and then unwillingly later ends up being kind of his driver to take him from one hit job to the other. And that premise alone is pretty strong, but it's so good. Gosh, dang it's good. I think it might be my favorite thing I've ever seen Tom Cruise do, ever. And he's, I mean, it's funny because it's billed as a Tom Cruise thing, but Jamie Fox is in it way more than Tom Cruise. Oh, yeah, a lot more. It's more of a Jamie Fox film than a Tom Cruise. Yeah, I would agree with that.

Although, you know, once poop starts hitting the fan, it's, you know, you're sort of in. But on both those guys, because they're always together. but the that movie man it's so good now okay i'll get around to why i was such a poo about it in 2004 when it came out okay i was annoyed that michael man decided he was going to be one of the first and he really was very early in this process um george lucas famously the next year with uh well i guess he'd already been doing it since since uh phantom menace but but directors were just starting to play around with digital okay instead of film now these days everyone's doing it and it It's indiscernible.

It all looks great. It looks however you want it to look. And whatever, Tarantino will tell you it doesn't, but Tarantino is also, you know, whatever, he likes feet. Anyway, the point is, that doesn't matter. It looks like you go back to that every single time. I know. I can't help it.

I can't help it. I can't help it. And I'm not trying to kink shame. He can like whatever he likes. Film people's feet all day long. It's fine with me. Just don't touch their feet if they don't want you to. That's all.

Make it consensual. Okay. Anyway. So he, it was announced that he was working on this film with with with with Cruz and Fox and said I'm going to do this is going to be my first full digital film that I've done and in 2004 digital photography you could tell that it was different it was just had a slightly cheaper quality to it when you'd see it and I remember seeing trailers for

this going I don't know this doesn't look the something's weird, and I got really uppity about the look of the film, the actually, like literally the technical quality of the film, and it annoyed me. And so I said, well, I'm not seeing that movie, so I didn't see it. And, oh, yeah, Ray, I'm sorry, I screwed that up. Fox was Ray, not Ollie. Sorry, I mixed those two up. Oh, yeah, right.

Sorry. Didn't even catch that when you said it. The connection is still Michael Mann. He directed both movies. But anyway, he, I. I was wrong to do that. I was wrong. It's so good.

It's some of the most tense. And it's still, I can see those, the problems that I had. I see them. But I see through them and see this incredible filmmaker making this incredible tense film. It's so intense.

There's this whole sequence at a nightclub where Cruz is trying to get one of his targets. Oh, I forgot to mention. Mark Ruffalo's in this. A very young baby-faced Mark Ruffalo. Oh, really? Yeah, this would have been 04, so well before we'd seen him in MCU,

was mostly doing smaller stuff. And he is great in it. He plays a cop, an undercover cop that gets involved in the case throughout the night. This whole thing happens during a single night. And Will Smith's wife, I can't think of her name. Jada Pinkett. Jada Pinkett, Smith, is in this.

Her role is small but interesting, very interesting. And I don't want to give too much else away if no one's seen. this because collateral's badass. It's so great. I'll put it up there with my favorite man films. I'll say, this is right neck and neck with heat. And I love heat. Uh, like I adore heat. I think heat is an amazing film. And I'm putting this right up there sitting next to it is how much I like collateral. So don't always push off stuff because you're uppity about a dumb technical issue. Watch a thing because you want to see the the artistry involved and then you might be blown away. Tom Cruise is freaking scary in this in a way that he's not. And anything

else I've seen him in. And it's my favorite role he ever did. And it took me, what, 15 years to figure it out. So collateral, high praise for me. I loved it. And it's on Amazon Prime video. Okay. Nicole? Cool. What do you got? All right. So I have a weird one in a while. You warned us. You warned us. Yeah. It's a weird one. It has been in my watch list for came out in 2018. So it's well been over a year I knew it was going to be weird And I just kind of was like I don't know

But I finally watched it It took me about three days to watch it Because I kept getting interrupted by the kids And this is not a kid's film I have a clip I will No I'm not going to I'm going to play it

Oh over the phone I'm going to play it from my phone And see if that works Give it a shot We're all about It is a Swedish film So it's not going to make any sense Bork or bork

All right Is it playing? I'm not hearing anything Oh you're not hearing anything? No No How do you not hear my phone? You're probably cutting

It's probably cutting the low Oh is it clipping Well not clippin Well not even hearing clipping Like it is Yeah I think it's just your discord Is it a silent film? No it's a Swedish

So it's Swedish and it's going to be subtitled. I almost, I really don't want to tell you anything. I would love for you to just go in and watch this movie cold. Like, not know anything about it. It sounds like we will. Because if I gave you a clip, so far so good.

The trailer itself is just like music and it's all visuals. So let me describe it to you. All right. Okay. I'm just going to explain it to you. So there is a Swedish woman. Her name is Tina. she works at board at a border patrol so she has a weird ability she all she looks like the

geico caveman okay that is a weird ability okay okay all right so her she saved you 10% on my own insurance she might she might be able to so she has the ability to smell fear okay so she works at this at this customs kind of you know passengers are coming in off of this vote and she can smell fear, she can smell guilt and she can find so like somebody had alcohol, too much alcohol so she was able to, you know, go in there

and we'll take the alcohol. But she also stumbles across a guy who's involved in pedophilia. And so she actually starts working with the cops to try to find this ring. While this is happening, she meets somebody, because you don't know what's going on with her. You're like, what?

And she says she has a chromosome issue, and that's why she looks the way she looks. Well, she meets somebody looks like her. And there's just weird stuff going on with what she's doing at her job and then what's going on with him. Does she actually smell this stuff? Like, I mean, like, when you say she smells fear, uh, is it actual, is it a smell, smell or do you mean she can sense it? Do you know what I'm saying?

You smells it. You can see in her, the actress that plays her is so wonderful. Like, I don't want to, I don't want to tell you anymore about the film. The movie is called border. Border. So it is a Swedish film. It will be in subtitles. And that's fine.

it won't kill you to read something fine it is it is a little bit of love story it's a little bit thriller i think they even label it in like when i saw it in it's it's on hulu yeah i think it is classified as a thriller it's not really scary it's very uncomfortable um there's a dude there's a guy an actor's name is uh jorgon thorson that's amazing that's awesome i'm curious of anybody in the chat room yeah actually this last week so yeah somebody found the trailer i mean if you want to pull the trailer up it's just music there's not much going on in the trailer that's why i was like going to try to find a clip the clip that i was going to play uh tina is living with a guy who he shows dogs and he's

basically just sponging off of her she has a house he's living there the dogs hate Tina, constantly bark at her. She comes into the house, the dog's going nuts, and she goes into like mode and then kicks him out and it's a whole thing. She's missing with like a cricket here. Ooh, she's so different looking. Wow. She's a, she's a Geico Cave Man. You're not wrong.

People are staring at her, a bunch of Rudy's. Yeah. Oh, I love this music. This is a trip. The trailer would have been boring. But, yeah, if you watch the trailer, it doesn't give you a lot to go on. I don't want to tell you much more. If you're looking for a very different, weird type of movie, this is definitely.

I like stuff like this. I'll watch this. Yeah. Okay. The border. It's very interesting. Border is the name of the film. Okay, cool.

The actress, I would, so I'm going to warn you, there's a sex scene. yeah and that's all okay yeah that's uh all right that's probably good warning actually she's um she's eva melander is the main character and she does that's all a prosthetic because she didn't look like this in real life yeah and and the guy that she meets is vor his name's and she can sense something off with him but she's she's attracted to him too and they're and like I said There's a little, there's some love story going on there. Dude, do we get to watch it. We have to watch it.

I really want you to watch it so we can talk about the sex team. So is this between Vore and Tina? They get it on. Is that what's going on there? I'm not going to say anything. I'll bet you I don't want to, I don't want to just, just watch it. We'll just watch it. Yeah, all right.

I'm putting it on my list. The less you know about it, I think the more, what? Yeah. The Swedes make. some weird movies and um i've always liked every swedish film someone recommended to me so i'll bet i like this yeah all right it wasn't it wasn't super scary i mean i got the impression like like it was going to be like a horror movie but it's not it's it's much more layered than that definitely recommend it border on hulu okay cool um very very nice now the nice thing about all of these

recommendations is they are cataloged uh meticulously by one nicole spagnolo she puts in a tweet and then tweets it out and then we all get to retweet it and enjoy it and bask in its rays so do that later today at Nicole Spag is where you'll find that Nicole anything else you want to mention or say I just want to say um they said uh how I'm going to butcher their name anyway midsummer was good it kind of isn't the same thing as midsummer yeah if you thought midsummer was like what that guy only those are the only horror movies that guy that made that And the other one, are the only horror movies that scare me.

I forgot to mention, I believe, was it the writer? Do you remember, let the right one in? Yes, Swedish film, yes. Yes. So, same guy. Oh, oh, I'm all in then. I love that movie. That movie was rad.

I'm one of the best vampire films. I don't even like vampire movies, and that movie was great. It was great. I even like the American remake of it. Oh, let the right one in, yeah. I never saw either of them. You should watch both those, Brian. They're good.

One of them's got that Chloe. Oh, it's so good. It's better than, uh, what's the Americanized one? Yeah, that's the one with Chloe. I was also called Let the Right One in too. Oh, no. No, it was Let me in.

It was just let me in. Oh, let me in. That was just called me. Let the right one in is way better than. They're both okay, though. The second one's fine. I agree with you. The, that's vastly superior, but that, that other one's all right.

If you're not, are there subtitles in the original one? Yes. 100%. And it's, and it's, okay it's totally worth it listen I'm the one who like perpetuates the subtitle films yeah you're not the problem
