Box 3,000, New York, 1, New York. You are our last hope. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. The morning stream is on right now, episode 2123. Can you believe that? but right now. 21, 23.

That's a lot of episodes, man. 22, 1, 2.3. Yeah, look at that. That's, oh, wait. We did have a 2-1-2-1, and we forgot to celebrate it for 2021. Sure, sure. Except that would have been 21-21. Yeah.

Well, not the full year, but just that there'd be 321. Just that there's 21s. Gotcha. Yeah, full of 21s. 21s for all the I can see, everyone. Anyway. We'll have to wait another 98 episodes to be able to do that. Very exciting stuff.

Welcome back, everybody. If we both sound a little stuffy, it's because, you know, we live in the Intermountain West and there's shit flying around. I rubbed grass in my nose this morning. I went out and just pushed my face in the lawn and I have this. Yeah, that's what you'll get when you do that. And in my case, I don't really have a good excuse. I guess, not really.

I mean, I just have there's something in the air and I'm breathing it in. And I've sneezed something like eight or nine times today and starting to, you know, kind of tire of it. At first, it was thrilling, exciting, you know, a good sneeze. can be a very uh therapeutic cathartic experience but it is it's it's your it's the body's way of uh expelling dust and stuff from uh yeah from the nose from the nostrils that's right and now uh nine of a men i i don't i would like it to stop please that'd be great okay all right fair enough uh all right so uh i saw the weirdest grossest thing last night i have to share

this oh good it was so gross and it was fake it was in a video game but it was so gross and so left an impression on me that I dreamt about it, like I was think about it. This doesn't normally happen, even with scary video games, but I was playing that Resident Evil 8 village there. Oh, sure. And some were there to see this, witness this. There's this basement baby glob unit thing.

I don't even know what to call it. We called it the basement baby because we don't want us to call it. But basically it was like a big... The lights go out in this horrible, already horrible basement. Of course. Of course. And I get chased around by this giant gelatinous, drags a trail of blood wherever it goes and intestines and stuff.

But it sounds like a baby, but also kind of mean, but then sometimes laughs like a giggling baby. It's horrendous. You sure it wasn't a chicken? Oh my gosh. You can mod this game. Someone should mod a chicken in there. That would be really funny.

But it was like, it was so viscerally. repellent to me and so scary it wasn't when it was coming at you had to hide under a bed for for a period of time it's horrendous i'm just saying this right now if you are at the very least like if you think scary video games are not your jam don't think that oh well resident evil's like a mainline game it's uh you know it's it's a it's a it's a big popular mainstream success i'm sure that one's fine don't watch that baby basement business it's horrible oh i'm looking at it right now Oh, that's horrendous. It's so bad.

Zoe has a video, oh, it's eating your legs. Yeah, it ate me. I got stuck in a corner. I ran into a room where there was no door. And I got eaten. And the whole thing is you've got to just run from this thing and avoid it to get all the work done you got to do. And you hide in a room and then you run through the kitchen and you can hear it coming behind you. Horrendous.

I don't even know how to describe this. This disgusting, nasty, and the combination of that and the sound and the visuals is just top-notch horror. but holy shit. I did also see the video of Carter sneaking up during the recording, which is just great. Always great. They do it every time. And I still, I'm never ready for it.

So I guess good on them. I'm getting them a lot, so it's fair, I guess. I get this when they... Yeah, exactly. This is them getting back to you for all the stuff you've done to them. And of course, as usual, John's like, yeah, you're going to want to walk down that hall. And he'll want to grab me.

Right, exactly. And then you get killed. He's like, Yeah. And none of this scares him, even the first time he played it. He doesn't get scared. Wow. He just sees it as like, I don't know, he sees it like the Matrix. He's just green numbers flying by and just knows where to go and what to do. I see it. He's already, he's already taking both the red and the blue pill. He doesn't, you know, it doesn't matter to him. Yeah, he ham fisted both those things. Here's the thing. Oh, yeah.

I made a terrible ham and Chamberlain joke and someone just posted it in the chat. It wasn't even a joke. It was like, in the moment, I thought something in the, I thought something in the, I thought something. look like Hammond. Oh, no, I'm watching this now. Let me see here. I got to see what you think looks like Evan Chamberlain. I don't know why I said it. I feel bad. I feel bad because I really loved Hammond and think highly of Hammond.

Okay, there he is. Is he coming around? I don't know. A little longer. Oh, because he's got a big old beard. Yeah. For some reason, it just was like, oh, Hammond. Like, that's what came to my mind.

Oh, too funny. So, yeah, that game, you know, everybody who said, hey, Scott, it's less scary than the last one. Or, hey, it's more like four, which means it's less scary. Whatever. Go away. It's plenty scary. All of you are lying to me. It's all over this dotted line threshold of scarier than crap.

And it doesn't matter. Like, once you get past that line, it doesn't matter the nuances of which ones more or less. they're all. Yeah. F and the scary ones to get past that. And I don't know what it is with me

and I can watch any horror movie you put in front of me. I don't care how weird and twisted it is. Even that stuff that does actually

kind of get me the summer, midsummer and the other one. Oh yeah. The Vovitch? The Vovitch. Oh, the Vovitch got me

pretty good too, yeah. I forgot about the Vovitch. But what's the other one that the dude, this midsummer guy directed that I really liked, but also scared me.

Oh, yeah. Had Tony Collette in it. Had who in it? Tony Collette. oh right like the family um they filmed it in park city it was called hereditary hereditary yes those movies i've not seen that one yet and it's on our list and we keep breezing by it to say should we watch it tonight you should totally watch it i like that one better i like it better than midsummer and midsummer i like really okay predatory is a hell of a thing and it's scary

but still even then even when a movie gets me a little bit it's nothing like this i think what it is is like i'm because in the movie i know other people have to deal with the problem, I can just sit back and enjoy them dealing with it. So if there's a horror, you know, Freddie Kruger running down the hall at you, I'm like, well, that's her problem. You know, I have to, I don't have to do anything. I just have to sit here and enjoy the visuals and the sound and the whatever. Here, I have to get away from the baby blob in the basement.

It's you. You have to run. Oh, gosh. There's something about it. Hereditary is streaming on Showtime, which I think, I think I may have forgotten to shut off CBS All Access. or Paramount Plus or whatever it is. So I think I still have showtime. Yeah, you probably do.

Yeah, go check that out. Get some reruns of whatever else they got on there. Yeah. Isn't there a Star Trek thing coming shortly? Aren't we close to something? I know Loki's next week, but that's Disney Plus. When's the Captain Pike business? That's soon, isn't it?

Oh, yeah, right. I like that. Cut the hands and mount. He's going to mount his ship. Star Trek. Let's see here. What's the Google? Star Trek show.

release dates. Maybe we'll look at that. Discovery in the fall. Oh, chat room. While Brian's looking that up, I figured out why I think I like that dude in Discovery,

the alien. I can't even know his name. Crap. Played by Fishman. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Right. Suru,

Suru. I like Saru. I think I figured out what it is. He reminds me of Morton Salas, the character, the alien character in Mass Effect 2, which I'm playing

again, and they're very similar, and I think he is so much like him that that's why I immediately glommed on to that guy. Anyway, it's total side note for gamers who play Mass Effect. Brian, did you find it? Do we know the date? Do we know what's going on? Yeah, I'm waiting for this page to load. Here we go.

We should be getting Star Trek Prodigy. None of these have none of these have dates dates though Strange New World Section 31

Discovery Season 4 Is the Michelle yo The section 31 That's her deal Yep Okay And Strange New Worlds is the Pike business right

Right And remind me Prodigy is Anom Prodigy is the animated 3D animated As opposed to Lower Decks

Which is That's right cell animated. And Prodigy's less kid, well, no, it's more kid friendly. Right. Whereas Lower Dex was... Lesson in every episode. Yeah, we're going to... A little PSA at the end. We learned today

that He-Man and Orko had a disagreement, yeah. Right, exactly. Wait, work on. Yeah, this tells me, I get no information from this article, really. I should, don't have, uh... Don't you love articles where the headline that leads you to believe they've got all the answers, but then they don't drives me nuts.

Drives me absolutely. Yeah, I've had it. You know what? I think we should start our own news network. I'm half serious about this, by the way. Real news. I want to do news that's like, and I don't even mean like get the political stuff or any of that.

I just mean I want to have something reliable. It's so much link bait. Everybody has to play this game now and I hate it. So part of me says, well, if you try to do that, then you have to play the link bait game to survive. But isn't there a way to do like a nonprofit? Like it'll be the bait free news network. That's right. Don't come here to bait.

Bate somewhere else. Bate on your own time. We're masters of the bait-free news. Yeah, man, I don't know. I just, I want to do it. No fake trailer concepts. Oh, look, it's a new trailer for What If by Marvel? Oh, it's a concept.

Yeah, concept. Through you. The problem is we'd have to find everybody who is willing to live by a certain standard of like uh whatever those ethics are whatever those it's what it's what we've done here right we get the audience that we invite or what's the phrase like we get the chat room we deserve is what the chat room we deserve so we would get the audience for that sort of thing that we deserve all right we're doing it everybody it's called a free news network i'll do your i'll do your music news on the bait free music okay all right sweet uh coming up next what's what's riana doing

What are three things Rihanna's doing that you might be doing right now? What's she up to? All right. Moving on. Oh, speaking of music, this is a perfect transition. Popular music. You may be familiar with one post-malone. I'm familiar with him.

All right. I loved his Hollywood's bleeding album. I played it over and over and over. I loved it. Album of 2019. He finds Pikachu very exciting. and sings about Pikachu. Apparently he's not.

I only want a Pikachu. I wish, why didn't he do that, by the way? I mean, they just did a straight-ahead cover of I only want to be with you. Yeah. I would have preferred, well, maybe both. Just do both. That would have been fine. You and me, we come from different worlds.

You use electrify when I look at other girls. Oh, man, very nice. So here's my thing with him. He's busy playing Magic the Gathering. which is why his new album's late. I guess he's super into that right now. Really? Oh, my God.

I wouldn't admit that if I was a... He spends a lot of... Like, there's video of him at a Target or something here, locally, I think. Running in there and buying a bunch of cars. Well, not anymore, he doesn't, right? Because he can't buy it at Target anymore. I think you can still get magic, I think. Magic is okay?

I thought Magic and Pokemon were both. I thought it was Pokemon, NFL, NHL, and MLB that got pulled, but I might be... Oh, you're right. You know what? You're right. be wrong yeah yeah mtg's still at target they say in the chat anyway so here's the thing uh post malone i listen to him i like him uh there's a song that i've heard a million times but it just now hit me that he's not saying what i thought he was saying i thought he was saying barf on me all right now

i'm gonna play a little bit of it and it's only a titch and it's edited weird so we don't get in trouble but i just want you to hear this and then you tell me if you if you also hear him saying barf on me okay all right okay so here we go he's saying barf on me with the words barf on me uh you know when you go into it with the words barf on me then that's all you hear for sure uh because i can't i was like all right what is he really saying and it's like bartholome you now what is he saying that would be really funny no it so what he is saying the name of the song is ball for me ball for me yeah it's like ball i don't know what he means but it's like, yo, ball for me,

mean like, go do it for me, perform it for me. You're a baller. You get in there and ball for me. Gotcha. All right. But it sounds like barf on me. See, barf on me.

Always the worst thing when the misheard lyric is the actual title of the song. And that's like the biggest piece of information they give you as to what they're singing. Yeah. But what's funny is I guess, I guess because I just play it and, you know, Like, oh, here's the Post Malone Essentials list. Just play it.

And I never look. I don't bother. And now later it's like, oh, wait, barf on me. And then I really had to dig in. And now we know. It's ball for me. Okay? Ball for me.

That's great. Ball for me. Speaking of which, we were talking about misheard lyrics a couple weeks ago, a trivia. And my friend Paul said that, and I was telling them about the story of Tina and Africa and how she thinks or how she thought at the time that it was, ain't nothing that 100 men from Mars could ever do and how I had to actually stop the music

we were in a car driving somewhere listening to this I had to stop the music and say wait what did you just sing I like paused the song I jokingly said I paused the song I pulled the car over did she do that voice that you always do Brian I taught the lyric voice so my friend Paul is telling me about how

he and his wife were listening to your song by Elton John in the car and she says it's such a sweet song until he just completely turns on her and it just goes dark

and he's like what are you talking about and she sings the one like you know the whole chorus goes real sweet and then at the end he goes how wonderful life is when you're in the woods

when you're in the woods when you're in the woods when you're in the woods like it's so great i love you and i really love hanging out with you but boy is it better when you're in the woods oh yeah life is at its most wonderful point when you are in the woods that's great i love it misheard lurks are the greatest we have a tradition on the show remember this don't let nobody pick your bum oh rest in peace ricko case oh yeah that's right he died i forgot he died yeah cars have lost two lead singers so uh watch out uh todd rungren all right music genius i got to ask you a question i've had for a bit are am i wrong in thinking that

big audio dynamite and the cars are connected somehow no you are wrong if you were to say are big audio dynamite and the clash connected somehow you'd be absolutely correct because mc jones got fired from the clash should he stay or should he go they decided he should go and then he formed big audio dynamite and then big audio dynamite too afterwards see how No cars, no cars connection. Oh, you know what, no, I take that back. They drove cars. So, there's a little bit of a car's connection.

Oh, man, for a hot second, I had hope that I'd... Because I really, all these years have said, oh, this was like their side gig. It was like Temple of the Dog for those, you know, for Chris, what's his name and the other, Eddie Vedder. Oh, yeah, right. To me, it was like, oh, yeah, that's a little side gig. Hungry.

Oh, I still love that song. That's actually a really good album, by the way. It is a really good album. I don't mind you stealing bread from the mouth this day. Fun DATW says, at the end of One Vision by Queen, I would swear they say fried chicken vision. Well, they do say fried chicken. At the very end of one of their versions of One Vision, they sing, fried chicken. Really?

They just say fried chicken. They just sing fried chicken. Yeah. Oh, I always assumed that that was something else, and there was no way it was fried chicken. Like a Mandela effect? No, they really do sing fried chicken. Okay. Well, that's an odd thing. That's like a very, you know, I don't know. What's that, what's that like? That's like Leroy Jenkins. I don't know what it's saying. At least I got chicken at the end of his weird thing. That's really weird. All right. One other reminder of a fun misheard lyric.

Think of Batman pooping snakes. Can't hear anything else now. Can not. Nope. And if I ever watch, I mean, I don't know why I would, but if I ever watch that again, what's it called? Peter Pan. Then I will not hear anything but that. And, oh, I just, Brian, this is weird. I watched a play-through of Mega Man 2. And when, and when this happened? That's a good question. It's like your brain has moved out of the game and set somewhere else. It's so weird. Oh, really? That's actually in, I didn't realize that was in the game. I thought, for some reason, I thought that was in, like, an animated series.

No, it's like the, in-between stuff. It's like the, um, cutscene audio. Oh, really? Yeah, between things. Yeah, it's weird, right? And when you hear that stuff out of context or... It's actually true of almost anything we do on the show very often. Like, if I heard, I don't know...

And the caveman. Yeah, or that, yes, that's a good one. Or if I heard Alex Jones go... I like to eat! If I heard that, like, in the sentence he had it in originally, not that I ever would, because I fucking hate that guy. But if I did, I don't... It's like it's set something off.

in me freaks me out anyway uh there's your there's your barf on me and your uh it was a gross night's what i'm saying everything was apparently was yeah between uh basement baby and uh barf on me everything was foul and uh we're okay now we're okay now all right let's get done away let's pull him in as if he bring in some dunaway bring in the done away that also means you guys should be calling soon uh call that number 801 471 zero four 16 too and be a part of today's tomfoolery. Let's start with this. Well, that music can only mean one thing.

Time to play a little babble royale. In this case, Tad Pooley feud with our good pal Brian Dunaway. Welcome back to the show, Brian. He's muted. Aw. Me no, hear him. Oh, no. He's speaking.

I can hear him scrambling now. He's like, wait, what? looking crap microphones turned off crap crap maybe even drop it an F bond pens if he's at home

he'll eff it if he's at work he might hear me oh there he is yay now we hear you we hear you now

that was weird okay yeah you'll take it right you'll take what you can alright oh hi Scott and Brian oh hi Brian down there and I'll have you know

I have a whole new attitude today wasn't scrambling wasn't scrambling was it's like huh that's odd look at you let me check my settings oh I like that

You just waltzing out at all. Yeah. We could all learn a lesson from that. I'm like, like, like, and wait. Yeah, yeah. You know what? That's a good attitude to have. I admire that.

Don't go change you. Don't revert back to the phone. Unless I take too long, at which case, hurry up. Yeah, then hurry up. Welcome back to the show. It's good to have you here. We're going to bring in a listener and see what's up with today's contest. Let's find out who this says.

Thanks for holding. Who's this? Hey, it's Chuck from New Hampshire. Chuck from New Hampshire. That's cool. That's the Hobbit town. That's where all the Hobbit. I'm originally from Pennsylvania, so I'm a Hobbit vampire.

Hobbit vampire, that's right. Oh, my gosh. What a combo. I think we call those Bobbitts. Yeah, Bobbitts. John Wayne Bobbitts. Welcome back to the show. We're glad to have you or have you here at all.

Not back, but for the first time, I think. Chuck, your first time, right? No, I was on before a couple of years ago. Oh, all right. Well, it's good to have over this. You waited the appropriate amount of time. Yeah, this is perfect. Well, welcome back.

We're going to dive right in. Brian will explain the rules and what you could win. That's right, Scott. It's time to play the tadpooly feud. Hey, I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Brian will 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. Chuck, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian.

And if your team wins, you get a prize package. That includes. A couple of games, courtesy of Wesley, some steam games for you, A Case of Distrust, Distrust, and Genesis Alpha 1, Deluxe Edition. Oh, that's actually a cool game. I like that game. Cool. Yeah.

I don't know what the Deluxe gives you, but I played Genesis. I don't know. It's like Alpha 1 Genesis Deluxe. It's like every modifier you could put on the end of a console to make it the new version. Oh, this is the Xbox Alpha. It's like HD. That's right. Right. Exactly. Yes. So those are the games you can win. Let's give you guys a topic. This one, of course, is a one from the Tadpool. These are all, by the way, all of these more recent topics are one submitted by the Tadpool themselves.

Oh. So the Tadpool's eating itself. Cool. The Tadpool is eating itself. All right. Here we go. Hands on buzzers. By the way, just out of just a just. point of interest here um usually for these questions i give them the question in the survey and then if you don't want to answer you just type in the word pass uh i usually get maybe 10 to 15 people passing it's like i don't know world of warcraft zones that i'd want to live in and so they type in pass this one out of uh nearly 400 responses only had three passes these Everybody likes talking about this topic. Everybody's got an opinion.

Okay. All right. Hands on buzzers. I asked the Tadpool, what's your favorite late night or gaming snack? Brian Dunaway. Pretzels. Pretzels. Show me pretzels.

Number four on the list. Three answers will beat it. Scott, we asked the Tadpool. What's their favorite late night or gaming snack? By the way, I almost hit, I almost yelled Letterman if I would have died because I thought you were doing late-night talk show hosts. All right. The Doritos, show me Doritos. Show me Doritos.

Oh, number five, Brian Dunaway gets to play. Kidding me. That is awesome. I totally hit the button like three seconds before you finish that question. And it didn't bust that end until. until like almost three seconds later. Yeah, I was going to say until I was on the last word. So holy mackerel, your lag, the leg is strong with you.

I decided just to go early just to see what happened. So, Chuck, you're going to be playing with Brian Dunaway today. Congratulations. And quick, before you give any more answers, I will let you know. As you saw with those first two answers you guys gave, pretzels and Doritos, in some cases, if there were enough answers that were. were a product name, a brand, then I used that. Otherwise, I merged them all into a general category.

Oh, gotcha. Okay. So like if it was, this is a bad example because it won't be, well, maybe it would be, so I shouldn't use it. Let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say it was, let's say it's fake. Let's say it's fake, like you could say specifics would be a pine tree, but some people may have said enough things. that you can just say trees. Trees. Sure.

There you go. Good. Since those aren't snacks, we're out of the, at least I hope they're not for some people, but we're out of the woods. Okay. Yep. Very exciting. Get it?

Because the trees. Yeah, they're trees. Trees. All right. Brian Dunaway, give me an answer. Give me another answer. Well, I'm going to confer. Oh, yeah.

You work with Chuck. Yeah, I can confer with Chuck, right? Since you're generalizing, since you're generalizing, what about just a sandwich? Ooh. Right. That could be a sub. That could be peanut butter. jelly. That could be a Rubin.

Everything you're saying makes me hungry. Every word he says made me hungry. That late night, that late night trip to the refrigerator to pick up the leftover sandwich. That's what we're going with. What do you think, Chuck is doing? Yeah, do it. Hello?

Is everyone there? Oh, he's asking Chuck. Oh, he's asking Chuck. I thought he said. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think I think Chuck said, yeah. Or was that? I think he must have because he actually gave you the answer. I thought I thought we agreed on that. I'll get me on that. That's a good start.

Show me any kind of sandwich. Oh, are you kidding me? That's insane. People did say sandwiches, and I did group them because we had P.B&J's. We had, I even, you know, I even counted doggarito, toast with blackberry jam, peanut butter and bacon. Someone put doggarito in there? One person put doggarito, and I just said, ah, call it a sandwich. That's great. That's great.

So, yeah, sandwiches did come up, but not enough to make it in the top ten. This goes now to Scott. All right. Let's soda as a category. Soda. Nice. All right. Show me soft drinks

of any sort. What? Are you kidding? Soft drinks were number 18. I did lump all non-alcoholic drinks into a soft drinks category. Oh, shit. There's a hit right there.

This is what I snack on at night, Chuck. And you tell me if you feel as good. I have popcorn very frequently at night. There you go. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, do popcorn. I like popcorn. Popcorn.

All right. Show me popcorn. All right. Now we're using our brains again. Yeah, I'm cooking with gas. Number two on the list. I can't believe soda didn't make it. soda yeah not enough people

I mean it was up there but not enough people it's how you stay up sandwich it's hard to call us a drink a snack though I guess so that's true yeah you're right you're right you're right I never went to my mom and said mom I'd like a snack

what would you like soda like it doesn't work right GD says popcorn is styrofoam with rocks in it oh my come on it it depends on the popcorn and how you made it and if it's any good and all that That's not that bad.

I got another snack of a home snack. What's that? What's you saying, Chuck? He's got a new one. What about Cheetos? Ooh, Cheetos. That's an interesting question. So he didn't lump it all into chips because we got Doritos.

So Cheetos, the other O's. Yeah, let's do Cheetos. They really gum up your controllers, by the way. Oh, yeah. But I mean, everybody loves going to bed, licking their fingers, right? Well, that's what I heard. I'm not. All right.

Okay, show me Cheetos. No, Chester Cheetah. Number 11 on the list. It was almost up there. Just outside. Just outside the top 10. And don't, you know, you made a generalization a minute ago. Don't dwell on that generalization.

All right. Okay. Can you tell me, can you give me the question again in the phrasing? Sure. The phrase, the way I asked the tadpull is, what's your favorite late night or gaming snack. Late night or gaming snack.

Okay. So what you tend to munch on while you're playing video games or just late night you need the snack. And once again, there are general and there are specific categories. Sure. Right.

Answers in here. Food is too general. Food is too general. Yes. Snacks. I'm going to go with late night snacks. Let's go with, I guess, I mean, it's what I always like at night. Let's do a pizza of some sort, some kind of pizza.

Sure, all right. Show me pizza. What? What? Pizza number 14, and I included all pizza rolls, pizza bagels, or just leftover cold pizza. Okay. That's crazy. That's insanity.

What the frick? What are you people eating? Now, I'll tell you what I eat late nights. Celery and carrot sticks or something? Yeah, no kidding, man. Right. It feels like a trip to my grandma's house. Not the tadpool.

Come on. We're all the junk food. Come on. This is bad. All right. Well, then it's back on you. If it was kind of giving us a, you know, you can go general. So maybe chips is in there.

Maybe we just need to say chips. What do you think? Or do you think we need to go with my favorite? Oh, what's your favorite? Oh, I know what I eat every night. Really? I eat. See, it's usually rotation between popcorn or yogurt.

Do you ever combine them? One of the two. You ever put... Never the Twain shall meet. Okay. Yeah, don't like that. I don't eat them both at the same time. That'd be a bad idea.

All right. So what are you going with? What do you think, Chuck? You go in chips or... See, chips is a... You got the ruffles, you got the lays, you got everything, but... Mmm. It's general enough that...

Yeah. Plus the British listeners. Okay, yeah. The British listeners are like, oh, French fries. We know those. Well, yeah. Right, exactly. Who's got time to cook French fries?

Yeah, damn it. We don't need no bridge bullshit. All right. Show me chips or crisps. Anything like that? A full? Yeah, number one answer. Chips with either dips, salsa, hummus.

I separated this out. Enough people said Doritos that I left Doritos separate. Right, right. Chips. Doritos is almost not a chip because most chips are potato base, but Doritos is a corn taste. That's a corn chip. It's a corn chip. Corn chip.

All right, that's fine. Corn chips. That means you're on a roll and you get. to keep going. That's what that means. You want to go with my personal yogurt or you want to go with, you think, something else? Yogurt. Yeah, go with yogurt.

We're going to. I usually eat yogurt for breakfast, but yeah, why not? All right, yogurt. Yeah. Right, all right. Stolen fat says, huh, slicing hairs there a bit. Hey, somebody's got to do it. And I can't do my own.

All right, show me yogurt. Oh, that's too mad. That's three strikes. Three strikes. This is my chance to shine, America. Oh, yogurt? I don't even think yogurt. Anybody said yogurt.

Oh, really? So it was just me, huh? All right, fine. Just you. Oh, I take that back. One Greek yogurt, actually. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's why I say yogurt, I mean Greek yogurt.

That's pretty much. Well, I would have taken Yolphe, Gogert, Faye, whatever. Ooh, gov. Oh, yeah, gogert. That's the best. Oh, yeah, Gogert is the worst. Um, let's, let's go with, I guess I'm just going to say candy. Okay, go with candy.

All right. Show me candy. Not to the main stage. Oh, sweet. There you go. Number three. Yeah, uh, lumped in, uh, all the assorted gummies, um, M&Ms, all those things had, had mentions in the list, but not enough. Did anyone say, anyone say Twizzlers on there?

Just curious. Some of that. Yes. Actually, we had both Twizzlers. and red vines. Oh, Lord. And people even putting red vines, red vines, in parentheses, not Twizzlers, exclamation point all accounts.

Well, they're wrong, by the way. Actually, I like both, but they're wrong that they're better. Anyway, they're both wrong. I like the ones that pull apart. I guess those are Twizzlers. Oh, yeah, the ones that, like, they're in a braided cable. Yeah. Some twisted RJ47 and you pull the individual strands apart.

All right. Let's see. Oh, my God. I've got a whole half our list left. I've got to be something. Yeah, like all the one through five have been guessed and nothing touched on six through ten. I got one. Well, you, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter. I know, I got three X's. That doesn't matter. Yeah, your time for guessing is through. Yeah, you're Vin Diesel at this point. All right, I'm going to go with, uh, let's do cookies. Cookies, all right? Cookies is a good answer.

Show me cookies. It is indeed number six, yeah. By the way, a lot of people did just put the word chips, right? And so a lot of people also put cookies. Some people put Oreos. I lump those in. One person, a very smart person, put nutter butters. And, of course, I lump those into cookies.

They're just pandering to Brian Nutter butter, love. Those are the best cookies. They are awesome. I don't know about the best cookie. What do you think about Milano? Well, well, all right, Milano. Let's go Pepperidge Farm and pay $8 per cookie, sure. I like Tony Danza's better than Alyssa Milano's.

You didn't say there was like a, you didn't say we had a budget, so I mean, I'm just going by the list. Good point. Money's no object, then. Go nuts. All right. Let's do, you know, we're assuming this is all going to be junk here, but I'm going to go with veggies. Okay. You know, carrot sticks, that kind of crap, because they like the,

dip apparently. I mean, I love, I don't, I like good stuff like that, too. I want, I want carrots and celery sticks, but I want, you know, half a cup of ranch to go with it. Yeah, dude. Yep. You're not wrong. Well, that is the only way to do it.

All right. Show me veggies. Damn it! Yeah, sorry. Veggies, again, number 17, fruit or veggies because some people put celery, some people with carrot sticks. And some people put, like, veggies and hummus. I lumped all those together as well.

Not as many fruit and veg. So what were the ones? Donaway had guesses. What were your guesses? Oh, oh, oh, cereal. That is the other thing. Dry cereal? Yeah, yeah.

Just grab some cereal. Number 16 on the list was people just consuming dry cereal. So, yep, that's same. By the handfuls. All right. Then I have no idea at 7-2-10. All right, let's look at the rest of these. Show me number seven.

Ice cream. Nice. A snack. That's a meal. Pizza's a meal. Come on. Yeah. I think pizza should have been on here. I don't get it. Show me number eight. Nuts or trail mix. A lot of individual nuts named cashews, peanuts.

I even went so far as to include corn nuts. So if I had to say checks mix, which is a lot of that sort of stuff, would that have qualified? I would have given you, yeah, I would have given you because checks mix usually includes peanuts. Corn nuts. Isn't that way Christian Slater died from? No, he's alive. Christian Slate's still alive. He's not dead.

Are you thinking pop rocks? No, no, it was heathers. Remember Heather's? Oh, the Carried. She died from Cornuts. What's her name? Well, Heather. One of the heathers died from Cornuts.

One of the heathers, yeah. I don't know. I don't remember Heather's at all. She fell through a glass table. My memory of Heather's is real sketchy. I don't remember anything. Leninade. Checks is cereal, but checks mix.

is a trail mix. A lot of Lennonade really take an issue with today's Yeah, that's what he does. Show me number nine. Cheese. And then some people put cheese and crackers, some people just put cheese.

So, like cheese. And then, you know, constipate and everyone. And then here's another one that's probably going to raise the hackles of Lennonade. Uh-oh. Wait, Checks Mix is like granola cereal.

No, it's not. No, it isn't. It's savory. Chex makes his savory. Yeah, it's savory. I'm with Brian here. Brian is 100% right. It's totally different.

Here we go, though. Ready for Lennad to get really pissed off? Here we go for it. Show me number 10. Jesus. Jesus. They're not quite chips. Not quite cheese.

You're right. They're not quite crackers. It's a flour product, so it's not a potato or corn. So, yeah, it is so it is on class. If I had to said crackers. Would that have, what I have achieved? I would have given you the, I would have given you the cheese with or without crackers, if you would have said crackers. Okay.

Yep. Here's some other ones in the list, because this is fun. I did give you, I did say Cheetos, because that came up. Beef jerky slash beef sticks, number 12. Alcohol. A lot of people mentioning both alcohol in general or. You may have a problem. Yes, exactly.

Kind of feel like the same way about soft drinks. It's not really a snack, but I included it anyway. uh let's see combos pop tarts is pop tarts a sandwich yeah yeah no it's just it is a snack though we we we have the little uh the little mini pop tarts that come like a little uh mini pop tarts yeah you haven't seen a little little bag of pop tarts now they they have like little small you can get a whole bag of pop tarts I mean a bag of bag of pop tarts full size because they come in a little bag but you mean like little ones like little mini yeah little ones little yeah little mini pop tarts no I'm not even I've heard of these things.

What? That sounds insane. Okay. I believe you. Let's see. Ramen? Oh, ramen's good. That's a meal.

Ramen's a good one. Like dry? Yeah. No. Yeah. Well, you can't eat it dry. Yeah. You can't eat ramen dry, but don't.

Yeah, you shouldn't do that. My Korean brother did, but don't do that. Chikorones. What's that? Which I guess are those little deep fried pork. Yeah. Yep. Did anyone do pizza rolls?

No pizza rolls on there? Pizza rolls I included as part of pizza. So pizza was pizza rolls, pizza bagels. Gotcha. Somebody put fried chicken from the KFC console. I don't know. Oh, they built a console. Yeah.

They built a single. Oh, right. The fake. It's actually real. No, it's a real console. It's a real thing. Yeah. It was a real PC.

It wouldn't generate them. No, no, no. It warmed the chicken, yeah. And you couldn't buy them. No, it doesn't lay chickens. Yeah, these weren't approved for people to have. having their homes it was a one-off joke thing but it was definitely real it worked yeah i would love to own uh goldfish uh you know it's still a flower based snack but not a chip

or a or an actual fish it's essentially cheese it's come on uh rice crackers and uh guacamole oh i like guacamole just just handfuls of guacamole yeah why do you play eating guacamole like a joker yeah right there you go that sounds good to me well here's the good news we guys we have good news to share and spread, and that is this. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Chuck has won these prizes. Chuck, how does it feel?

How do you feel deep down inside? Well, technically he didn't, but we're going to give him to him. Oh, he didn't? Oh, he didn't? No, because he was playing with Brian Dunnoy and. I ex out first. Oh, so he still should feel great. Oh, so you're still getting, we're still giving it to you.

Oh, okay. Now, now Brian won't get any heat for just letting people win when they lose. This will be fine. Right. And this will also, uh, this will also cool down the Claire Gack crowd. who like, well, anytime Claire calls in, she's going to win. Oh, I see. This is a good way to balance out the bounce out life. Well, that's awesome.

Well, then here's what you got to do. You got to send Brian an email, coverville at gmail.com. He will send you your winnings, and you will walk away, triumphant, and clean and shiny at the gates of Valhalla. Well, done. Yes. See, it follows the, you know, the dungeon master kind of idea of as long as the rule applies, as long as it's still fun. Yes, that's exactly right. That's right.

So any real competition, stay out of here because we're going to do what we want to do. All right. As Sam Jane says, the rule of cool. That's exactly right. All right. Dunaway, well done. You did great. And this weekend, we're all watching Rain of Fire for Film Sack.

Yeah. Yes. I've already watched it. I'm filled into a burning rain of fire. I love Rain of Fire. I am unapologetically a fan. Can't wait. I can't wait for McConaughey to get his tank made by Lincoln.

yeah that's right that's right and uh he's super weird in this movie i'm running for governor but you got your christian bail before things really took off for him uh right before really a couple years before he became batman and uh there's uh what else other people there's a great it's a great it's a great gerard butler yeah gerard butler's a very young gerard butler yeah small role uh i don't know why you say but layer but that's great layer the lair of the butt stay out of my butt layer um all right done away i guess that's it you have anything else you want to add? Yeah, tomorrow night I'll be doing

Graveyard Keeper. We'll be playing that at 5.30 Eastern Time. Me and Kit London will be trying to do more of the graveyard keeping. As it were. That's on Twitch.tv.

4.S. Brian Dunaway. Nice. Go find it. He's also on Twitter at the Brian Dunaway. Have a nice day and we'll see you later by. All right. Well, we've done it. Let's move on. What are we doing?

Okay, we got five minutes. Time for one little bit of news. Yeah, we got a little news time. Let's do it. It's time for the news brought to you by. America's next top podcasting idol star. Yes, we finished the season. You may have heard that the season three finished.

However, because I follow the reality show playbook to the letter, we have to have a reunion show. And that's up on the feed right now. if you want to hear what these people have all been up to and doing since, I don't know, since the season ended, plus find out what they really liked and what they hated about this season, Comedy Week. Listen to the reunion special available right now on America's Next Stop Podcast. A reminder that just heard yesterday, the day before I guess, that Nikki is now an official science correspondent for the daily technique. Yes.

Which is awesome and deserved and also a benefit to that show because she's very smart. And I think she'll do great. She is. Yep. All right. We've got this guy here. So it was Walgreens and a dude. That's the story.

And I'll tell you how it went. A man hides in a Walgreens and then tunnels through the wall. Is it there a Walgreens and a dude? Do you mean there was a dude and a Walgreens? It's a dude and a wallgreens and a dude. Oh, and a dude. I've said in a dude. And he's in the Walgreens.

The Walgreens is definitely not in him. Although part of it is, I suppose, because here's what he did. Tunneled through the wall to get opioids, according to the Tennessee cops. A man hid inside of Walgreens before he tunneled through a wall and stole opioids from the pharmacy. So it's the pharmacy in the rear there. According to officials, the man reportedly took off with several painkillers from the Walgreens in Merf, Freesboro Road, in the Nashville area. The Franklin Police Department on Monday released surveillance video from last week that shows a man entering a store and then using a flashlight to look at items on the shelf. let's see

that's not the part of the story moving down okay that's lame official said for some reason I got some other story in there official said the events unfolded after a man went inside the Walgreens on May 18th remained hidden until the store closed

for the day after the workers left he is accused of tunneling through the drywall to reach the pharmacy area Opioids powerful drug man I love tunneling through drywall I can tunneling through drywall I can tunnel through drywall In about five seconds

It doesn't seem hard, right? No, you don't tunnel through it You punch a hole through it You climb through the hole Yeah, this is an Andy DuFraming With a spoon that red gave him It's right Slowly carving your way

Through layer after layer of drywall Yeah, whereas finally 20 years later You come out clean on the other side It doesn't work that way I think you just bust through the drywall It's as simple as that Anyway, don't do drugs Is what I'm getting at

That's the point I will read this final story about the corpse flower because this is just something that has to be mentioned. Hundreds in California lined up for a blooming corpse flower. That's right. Residents of San Francisco's Bay Area, city flock to the abandoned gas station to get a whiff of a corpse flower. This is so-called that because it stinks, total stench. Smells like somebody died. Yeah, it's real bad.

This is after its owner decided to share the rare plant with his neighbors. Solomon Lave, a nursery owner in Alameda, who, deals in exceptionally rare plants had been posting on social media about his amorphalus titanium, tatiananum, titanum. I don't know.

I had a harder time with that second word than the first word, but anyway, that's the name of the thing. That's the genus of the plant. When he saw a lot of interest in the giant blooming flower, he decided to wield it out Monday to the abandoned building where a line of people stretched around the block for most of the day. He says, I grabbed my wagon, went down to my greenhouse, put it in with the help from my friend, dragged it down here to this abandoned building, and people just started showing up. He sat there in his camping chair and watched people do it and asked to answer their questions while it happened.

Just sad. It's my stinky flower. That's my smelly plant. He said, somebody named Himansu and Sanjan Jane brought their three-year-old son after following the flower on social media. I just wanted to thank him because I'd never thought we'd get to see. one says sangelly senjali

sehally jane Ciali jane I mean would you go and get in a line for a smelly flower By the way amorphal phallis amorphalus titanium Yeah

Oh there you go Would you do this? I don't know if I didn't be getting line for this Just because something's rare Doesn't mean it's good Right? I mean you know it's like Oh this thing only blooms like once every hundred years

We gotta go totally smell it Yeah No you don't need to at all No Right Not into it I don't want to go smell a corpse. Yeah.

Not interested. Thank you. Morvine in the chat says, I am weird. I would. Okay. I believe you. Okay.

But you keep your turd blossom away for me is all I'm saying. All right. Oh, I love that band in the 90s. They were so great. They were so good. I miss them. They were great. There are dogs meeting each other and jumping up and down on each other in my front yard.

That's what you want. That's what you like. Neither those are my dog. Yeah. Was there a person there? It was two people walking their dogs, and they met in front of my yard, and all hell broke loose. Great. Dog Orgy.

A chocolate lab and a little black, maybe a little black lab. Oh, there you go. The labs have it. My money is on the chocolate lab. Who's with me? Who wants to put some bets on this thing? We're going to take a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt, we'll swoop in here.

and correct any bad thoughts we had about today's tech news. So that'll happen. And then after that, Nicole, with some recommendals. So stick around. Lots to do before that, a musical break that Brian will now present. Absolutely. This one comes to me, courtesy of earshot media and wiretap records. We're going up to Toronto for this one, a band called Talk Show host.

They are releasing their debut album on June 4th. Just a couple days from now. This is the first single from it. The album is called Mid-Century Modern. I'm just on a rock kick right now. So you're getting another just another straight-ahead rock sound. I'm trying to think bad religion, jawbreaker, 90s punk kind of sound, but not bro punk like Blink 182 or anything like that. These guys are great.

The new album is called Mid-Century Modern. Here is the first single from it. It is Warmest Condolences. I don't know what happened, they said it just went off in my hand, it just went off in my hand. I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know what I was thinking about. It just went off in my hand It just went off in my hand Until I get home

Don't you say anything at Until I get home Because the riot police are by the devil machine You're waving arrest for a nominal fee It's so incredible The Planet Funeral I don't know what happened I don't know what happened they said it just went off in my hand

it just went off in my hand I don't know what I was thinking I don't know what I was thinking about It just went off in my hand It just went off in my hand Until I get home home. Don't you say anything until I get

home, oh, oh. Because the riot police are product of the machine. They're waving arrest for a nominal fee. It's so incredible the planet's humorous. And sing a right of variations of a million feet. We've seen it up before it seems to say and problem solved. Don't want to get a bomb. So don't make me tell on you

Don't Make me tell on you Don't Make me tell on you Don't Make me tell Make me tell I'm

Don't Make me tell I'm Don't It's an accident I guess it loves my head I Put it's coming in sense

I I'm saying you Don't cut out the rubber Come back I know you can't get back I know you can't get back Because a riot Police are by a tablet

And we returned, everyone. Welcome back. Oh, that song again was. That song again was the band Talk Show host from their upcoming album, which comes out this Friday. It's Talk Show host and Warmest Condolences. Very nice. Seems like you get a lot of good stuff from them. Yeah, I do. Totally do. From

Earshot Media is a great, and wiretype records, both of them great suppliers of music for this show. They know, they know what I like. And they say, oh, Brian's going to like this one. Let's send it to him. That's a really good voice you've come up with. They're Tony Soprano. Carmella, I'm going to send this trick to Brian to play on the TMS. Do you, they're ducks in the pool, huh?

Carmela, come look at the ducks. Wow, that's fantastic. Nailed it. Anytime we can, we get our, we get our, we get our, we get. get our Tony Soprano in here. Our James Gandalfini. Yeah, why not? Rest in peace.

All right, check this out. Hey, Godelah, who? We're going to play this. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. The problem is it's like one inch from Popeye. It's that close. It's even closer than that. It's a 16th of an inch away from Popeye.

Well, two feet from Popeye exists one man named Tom Merritt, who has a complete control over all the tech news of the day. And he comes on Wednesdays and talks to us about his. are you really elevated me i really have i feel like i correct everyone for their mistaken thoughts i have complete control i feel like the china of tech news yeah just picture if it was a god among men his name would be tom merritt that's right oh your thoughts are wrong we'll go to this retechification camp oh my gosh that sounds like a actually kind of a good time let's go let's go to the retakeification camp everybody we'll all listen to cologard by turd blossom person perfect

Perfect. Turd Blossom. Bring it out. Turd Blossom. Hey, Tom's here. He's always here on Wednesdays. We love having him here. And we are going to talk about... We are next Wednesday, by the way. We are going to talk about the big stories of the day. What is actually happening today? Yeah, so tune in later for Daily Tech News Show, folks, because Scott will be on. That's reason enough. But also, F8 is happening here. Just kicking off right now. Wait a minute. They just released F9. They're going back to F8? Oh, man. Yes, I understand your confusion.

Facebook has its own F8, and it never goes to nine. I don't know why. They should just keep ticking up. The fate of the Facebook. Yeah, Fatesbook is... So it's a developer's conference. You're never quite sure exactly what you're getting. You're always going to get some developer-friendly announcements.

You might get some interesting feature announcements. You might get some Oculus announcements. So that's happening as we record. Yesterday, though, on Daily Tech News show, If you want something to listen to after TMS is over until then, we explained this new sidewalk thing that's going around from Amazon. It is getting a lot of negative press because you can easily misunderstand it. It's also getting a lot of negative press because it's from Amazon.

And there's a few things that might make you want to turn it off because it opts you in to sharing a very small slice of your internet. nobody likes to be forced into sharing anything so my my understanding you tell me how rough my understanding is is that this is basically them saying if you have a device like the ring uh an amazon echo any of our internet of things style things all the amazon device stuff uh they they also own tile i guess so tiles all that they don't own well i don't think they own tile but tile is part of the sidewalk okay i thought they owned them but anyway it doesn't matter so they You might be right about that.

I should look. So they got all this stuff, and they're basically saying, without an opt-in, we are creating a mesh network on a kind of unprecedented scale. They do not own tile. Okay, they don't own them. Carry on. But is that a fair assessment? I mean, this is a giant mesh network. Like, they're just creating the world.

Yeah. Honestly, if I were to be asked to join, I would join. It uses Bluetooth, 900 megahood spectrum, a few other ways of directly connecting between things. So let's say you've got a tile tracker on your keys, you drop your keys in an apartment complex. The tile tracker can then connect by those different connections to any echo, ring device, camera, et cetera, to then ping the internet and let you know where the tile tracker is, right? That's incredibly useful. That's incredibly helpful. It could also be useful for some other things like, you know, you've got that one part of your garage you want to put a smart light on, but it's just a little far from the Wi-Fi router and you don't want to do an extender.

If your neighbor's got an echo close enough, it might be able to work for that. It's not going to stream video or anything, but not be enough to just control a light turning on or off. The negative thing here is that they're opting you in. So if you own an echo, you own a ring, you are opted in to this system. it doesn't use very much 80 kilobytes per second it's not going to clog up your network it's it's it's gated uh and 500 megabytes of data per month which if you're on a low data cap you know could be a concern for you for most people 500 megabytes it's probably not going to be that big a deal so i could see opting into it but i opted out because i just felt my back rise up but like no

i'll decide if i want to join your network and i get why they want to just turn it on for everybody because it is low overhead and the more devices that you have on, the better the network is going to work, right? But is that classic thing of asking people to opt out instead of opt-in always gets people's backup. So, yeah, I'm a big fan of like, let me opt-in. But I also understand the power of automatically having your mesh network overnight and not having to beg everyone to turn it on because that's...

Shave Maddox, you're right. Kilibits. Did I say kilobytes? It's kilobits. Kilibits, yeah, yeah. Kilibytes per second. But still, at 500 megabytes a month, it still seems like a lot to me.

I don't know why. It's not. I know it isn't. It's not anymore. If you're on a low cap, sure, yeah. But people with terabyte, two terabyte caps,

it starts to feel like a rounding error at that point. Yeah. So if I, forgetting about the opt-in, opt-out thing, that bugs me, but that's always bugs me. It doesn't matter who does it.

It just annoys me. This isn't apps or anything, right? Like the Amazon apps on our, phones aren't part of this deal where they're going to ask for special permission to use part of our internet. The apps are part of it in that they can participate in the network and you can turn it off in your Alexa app by going into account settings. You should find an entry for sidewalk there and you can turn it off. But yeah, this isn't about sharing data. Amazon has a full white paper where they're like, this data stays in the network. We don't access it. We don't use it for targeting. We don't use it for

for finding things out about people, you know, if you believe them, then they're saying all the right things. They also have a white paper out about the encryption. They've got very strong encryption, elliptical curve, triple layer, all that stuff. It's not open source encryption, you know, which would be ideal. But, you know, if you're cool with telegrams encryption, you're cool with this encryption. And it's not sending messages. It's just sending very low amounts of data to say, turn the light on, turn the light off. So it's just the other thing I just thought of. I have a bunch of these third-party echo-enabled outlets, like plugs. So they're like, you know, I don't even know what you call them, modular plugs.

And right now, in fact, one of these lights in here in my studio is running off of it, and I can tell my echo to turn it off or on. And it's the plug that's being told. So that's the Internet device. Right. Anything you plug into that, as long as the whatever is plugged into it automatically turns on when power comes to it. Yeah. So my question is.

that's not an Amazon product. It does use their API and everything to work with it. It has to be an Alexa-based product. So even though Alexa works with it, cancel. Yeah. Even though it works with it, it's not. I didn't set mine off when I said that.

I was actually kind of surprised. Yeah, I don't want to be lit up. Yeah, it's not, if you're controlling it through an echo device or something, then that's just going to be controlled by the echo. right it's not you'd have to if you have it's if it's a device that you can have on your network alone with no other devices and control it with your voice then it's probably part of this if it's like oh no you but you have to have an echo or you have to have some other device then no it's not it would benefit from it right because it could be controlled potentially by this by the sideblock

network but it alone would not be part of it well i don't want to freak anybody out or i don't want to surprise anybody here, but it's, I can't, there's nothing in here I can find about sidewalk, so I'm going to have to dig it up and find it. I don't know where it is. It's in this app somewhere probably. So your app doesn't have it yet. No, maybe this, so is it a rollout thing like usual where, you know. Allison Sheridan's app didn't have it. Mine and Sarah's did, so it does feel like maybe it's a rollout thing. You go into settings, then you go to account settings, and it should be right there under voice purchasing and above workouts. Okay, yeah, it's not here yeah so all right me and me and alice and sheridan in the same boat apparently but i am going to

definitely i think i'm going to turn it off and then decide i'll make the decision amazon you don't get to pick for me your bums i like some of your stuff but you don't have to you know whatever opt in auto opt in i turn this on later especially if i have a reason to if i'm like oh this this would work if i let sidewalk work like i i might do that uh but i'm going to leave it off until i know otherwise. And it's launching June 8th. So if you don't have the setting yet, that might be why. It's probably, it might be rolling out slowly to the apps. Sure. And only in the U.S. If you're not in the U.S., you're not going to see the setting because it's only rolling out in the United States. Right. And Dunaway says made a good point. Gen 3 or later devices,

but, but the app itself should still reference it, whether you're, whether you're still sold or not. Right. Right. Exactly. Also, uh, let's see, Dice Tomato was asking, can they use it for ad targeting. The way it's described in their white papers, it would be very difficult to use it for data sharing and ad targeting. If they follow the way they constructed it, it would be very difficult. And I don't imagine they would. Also, I think somebody's going to figure it out if they're not following what they're saying. There's enough eyes on this that it will be noticeable and that will become huge news. So keep an eye out for that. But I don't expect them to, to be honest. I know we have this knee-jerk distrust of like, yeah, having had so many stories,

of companies getting away with stuff, but it's such a backlash these days that I imagine Amazon is like, no, no, no, we just want to use this for what it's good for, and we don't want to get caught not doing that. Anything's possible, but I think a percentage chance is low. The fun part of my brain says, Hey, Bezos got out just in time to not have to go

any of the hearings that are definitely going to come out of this in 2023. Right, yeah. Like, well done, dude. You got out while you could. You don't have to go into these Zoom meetings anymore. By then, it'll be live. If he's involved in something, he might get called it anyway. Just because you're no longer, he's on the board, right?

So he's still part of the company. Yeah, I just feel like they're going to send that other dude now. I always forget his name, the new guy. Andy Jassy. Andy Jassy is in the hot seat. Yeah, for sure. All right, well, that's fascinating stuff. More like this today, and of course, F8 will be happening in real time.

So that's always fun when a show is coinciding with some possibly live breaking news. So do check it out. 2.30 Mountain Time today, the Daily Tech News show.

Good. Good. I have to tell Mark continues to talk to me while I'm doing this. I was going to do it. Yep. It's all right. We share this office now. Here's what's funny.

It's an actual on air light. Yeah. I'm kidding. Here. I'll turn on my little ring light there. There you go. That's how you shouldn't know. My favorite thing about Mark.

Mark lately is I'll be on my TikTok for you page or whatever and I'll be flipping around and I'm fun and I'll just run into here's a cool thing about wood and wood shavings. Bip-dip-dip-dee and I'm like, oh my gosh, it's freaking Mark talking to me. It's Mark. So I get his, I get his TikTok channel all the time. I follow it now, but it just showed up one day. It's like there it was. It's going to get, it's going to start getting really busy over there.

Yeah, it is. It's already. The video I just watched at 300,000 views on it already. Like, my gosh, I think TikTok might be a place for. woodworkers to have some cool shit happening. Good for you man. Wow. Awesome. That's awesome. It should be interesting. Keep it up. Next year. And I also know you just... We just passed it 700,000

subscribers on YouTube. Yes, that's awesome. You also just got back from camping and that looked fun. Oh, yeah, yeah. A little nomad land camper trip. Oh my God. I need to watch Nomadland because that was some crazy stuff. You should watch that movie. That movie's awesome. It's really good. We rented an RV from out of your house. We'll see a layer of Down the road.

Yeah. So outdoors, you can rent RVs, and we've been thinking about getting an RV, but they're not in stock. So we're like, try one out and see what's like. And the number one rule was you can only go number one in it from the person we went to. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's good. We used to have a camper. We used to have a camper. My dad had the same rule.

He owned it. And he was like, do not poop in the camper. You got to do it in a bucket or bury it or whatever. Yeah. And the place we went, didn't have. any facilities. Like, I didn't realize that. And it was a dirt lot, basically, with permanent residence with, like, tin around the box. It was so weird. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, you really did. We caught some fish. That's awesome. Oh, cool. I love it. Yeah. Well, well done. It looked like fun.

And that picture of Mateo on the, on the lake fishing is my favorite thing I've seen all week. He was very, very conflicted about fishing. Yeah. Because the excitement of it, of catching a right but then realizing we can't throw it back yet you actually got fine thirty dollars if you threw it back you had to keep the fish you got to keep the fish wow that's a different thing isn't it usually they want you to throw a fish back not this place this was it was a stocked pond you're like we're trying to get rid of these damn fish fish him get them out eat them yeah destination in pine Colorado when you're a little kid it's like yeah when you're a little kid it's like well you're going to make me kill and eat this like I don't know it's hardcore

man. It's hardcore. Well, all right. It's good to have you here. We're going to do recommendals. Fine. If you don't. You have two, and you were gone even. Oh, my gosh. Two. Amazing. Wow. All right. Well, we'll get to those. Brian, let's start with you this week. Yeah. We always do. Do you have a setup for this? Well, first thing I'm going to say is I've been watching your recommendals. Mayor of East Town. I'm going to second that

recommendal. It is so, so good. Kate Winslet is amazing in it. And also watched Mitchells v. The Machines. And that was also also fantastic. We love that. The animation, if you liked Into the Spiderverse, then you'll like this one as well. It's great. It's good. That same animation style. And I don't have a

clip for it, but I'm also going to throw one more recommendal out there for the Friends Reunion special on HBO Max. How was that? I was really hoping for a thing that was like actually scripted and instead, it's just sort of a, hey, let's have memories and hang out. Yeah. I mean,

it's not a, where are these characters now? It's what are these actors doing, but it's like, you know, the second, only the second time that all six of them been in a room together since they taped the finale. I saw a photo and they looked like they were in pain. They all looked like they were just miserable. Oh, really? Oh, I did. He just looked miserable, all of them. That's funny. I could see that on a couple of them. It was in their eyes. It was in their eyes. They were smiling. Because of the way Joey or Matt LeBlanc looks these days, there's now an Irish uncle meme around him.

Oh, okay. So if you Google, Matt LeBlunk, Irish Uncle meme, you'll find it. Matthew Perry, you know, you can tell he's had some hard stuff happen, not just the alcohol abuse, but also some medical issues. And, uh, but, um, I thought his thing was drugs. Isn't there a big, I thought it was alcohol. Was it drugs? Okay.

Yeah, he had, like those seasons where he was super skinny and they got really chubby and then skinny again. Yeah. But somehow Lisa Kudrow maybe was. put into a hyperbark chamber since the finale because she looks exactly the same. Wow. All right. You're good for her.

Yeah. I like her. Oh, it was Coke. Okay. Gotcha. Oh, he was in the Coke. Anyway, so it is a recommendal if you liked friends at all in the 90s or even rediscovered it later on like you did, Scott. I'm afraid to watch it on us. Oh, really?

Yeah. Just the cringiness of probably some of it. You know what? They were, they did a good job of not being cringy. Like things, you remember the routine that Ross and Rachel did on American Bandstand? Yeah. They were like, the producers were like, well, do you want to do this and recreate it for our viewers? And they're like, no, that's cringy.

We're not going to do that. So I'm talking, I'm talking more like we're socially aware of a number of things that we don't consider okay to do. And it's like, I see like references to friends and they're like, wow, there's some, some, things. Yeah, there's probably some of that. I mean, what I wanted, here's what I wanted, and I'll never get it. I wanted six episodes not done with a three-camera laugh track in audience thing. I wanted six episodes done more like Arrested Development style filmmaking that was these

characters all these years later, they've got kids, some of them maybe even have grandkids at this point. They're older than me. And catch up with them that way and kind of have some kind of comedy happen. that's a huge production and a major writing job and all that other stuff and I know it is but that's what I wanted and we're never going to do that they they address or Lisa Kudrow specifically addresses why they why they won't do that she's like yeah can you imagine Phoebe in her 60s and still loopie I don't want to imagine that no we're not doing it I kind of do I kind of want to know like I mean she's 59 or 60 now which is crazy she was always the oldest I guess or close to it I think so yeah but But I don't know. I don't know what I wanted. Instead, it's just like a, hey, remember those times?

I don't know. It's probably fun. It's more than that, though. It's a bunch of different kinds of things. So, number one, they've got a sit down with James Corden where they have an audience and he asks some questions and that sort of thing. Two, they do some table reads of iconic scenes with the six of them redoing their lines. And those come off really, really well. They really, you know, watching them deliver those same lines and as themselves now is really cool.

And then they also do some stuff like they do actual in the apartments, on the sets, do some like, oh, man, look at this. Do you remember when we did that one thing sitting over here and, oh, let's do a little trivia thing right now with, you know, recreate the trivia episode? And it's done in a really, in a clever way that doesn't feel pandering or cheap. I think it's, I really, we really enjoyed it. Here's what I wish they would do. Straight up, go on curb your enthusiasm on the next season and do like Seinfeld did. Do like Seinfeld did have their reunion there. You're the real actors playing yourselves, but you're also there for this friends thing

and then make a whole curb season out of it. that would be... Didn't they do a 90210 1-0 season like that? Well, they did the the most recent 9-0-2-0 thing begins with them flying somewhere

to do a 9-0-2-1-0. Like they're playing them, they're playing their actor versions. Yes, it's like meta. I kind of like that. Something I like about that. But whatever, it is what it is, and I'll probably watch it

because my wife loves friends. It's still not a single person of color in sight. Great. I don't know. I was sitting about a weird. weird shade of purple was apparent on what's his name's face

I can't think of his name, Chandler. Chandler, yeah, he just looked rough, man. I feel bad for him. You looked a little rough, yeah. Yeah, bums me out. All right. Well, let's get to an actual

recommendal. This is something that I've kind of recommended before, but a new part of it that blows the first part out of the water, in my opinion. All right, here's your clip. Welcome to NASA.

You are, as of this moment, officially astronaut candidates. Some of many people will write the history of this time. This is James Town, Antichuel. Ten seconds, the mark. They will say that during the coldest depths of the Cold War, America inspired the world. I give you Pathfinder. It's three times as powerful as our country.

current shuttles. I'm tired of talking about the good old days. Yeah. Don't you'll miss it? With this weapon, they could drop munitions on any point on Earth. The president wants you to put together a new mission. I shouldn't go. You don't think I notice the look in your eyes at every launch.

So that's got to be for All Mankind Season 2, I'm thinking. That's exactly what it is. Yeah, for All Mankind, season two. Hopefully we don't get dinged for, I didn't, I completely forgot about the sweet dreams. Usually trailers are okay, but I sometimes get dinged. So I paused. When I first heard her, go, sweet dreams.

I went, up, and I paused the video and then resumed at the end. So we might be okay. Good. We'll be all right. All right. So, yeah, it's for All Mankind, Season 2. This is on Apple TV Plus. Season one was, you know, this is an alternate history show where,

The premise is that the Russians landed on the moon first and kind of all the things that stemmed from that. The development of the space race went a completely different direction and different astronauts went up and things like that. So that was kind of the premise for season one. Season two obviously continues that story, but it takes place a decade later. And the base on the moon, Jamestown, has already been set up and there are people living up there. and um and the path that stuff goes especially with the penultimate episode of season two is fantastic and just leads up to this amazing cliff not cliffhangery but um gasp moment that takes place in the next to last episode of season two and um Joel Kinnam playing older is he did they age

him up playing a little bit playing a little bit older he's he's now the chief of the of NASA's astronaut office so as you heard he's got a bunch of new recruits that he's working on um uh moving up there um molly cobb who is uh penny from um from lost oh my god what is her name uh sonya wager oh yeah uh she's got a much more uh much more prominent role this season um it's a lot more ronald more by the way um involved in the second season. I want to take that back. I guess he only directed three of the ten episodes. Well, it's all his series though, right? He's his series, but yeah, not as much directing from him, just more producing, uh, writing. Right. That makes sense. Um, it's, uh, it's a really

cool. This, this wouldn't, would have made an incredible movie. I'm glad it's a series, so we get more of it. But, uh, the stuff that happens, uh, as you get to the latter part of the season is just brilliant and edge your seat kind of gripping. All right. Sadly, it's Apple TV Plus,

so if you don't, if you haven't bought anything from Apple in a while, an iPad or a Mac or anything like that, then you'll have to pay five bucks a month to get it, but it's totally worth it or maybe, I don't know,

is it still $49 a month for Apple TV Plus? I think it is. It's only $49, yeah. If you only want that and you're, let's say you're completely out of the ecosystem and you have an Xbox and you want to watch it, you can totally do that. Just sign up for a month,

binge the show and get out if you don't want to see so worth it and you know binge this binge mythic quest which we're halfway through the second season of that and it's again just as funny Snoop Dog makes a cameo that's always good

that means comedy comedy's coming it does mean it means comedy and pot yes so yeah for all mankind season two highly highly highly recommended yeah and for those who didn't know like some may not there's that Apple app is on everything now So it's on your Roku.

It's on your Xbox, on your PlayStation. Yeah, I wanted to say it just got added. I just saw somewhere yesterday that it got added to Chromecast or something. So you've got it everywhere. It's everywhere. You want to be. All right. Yep.

Here's my clip. This is for a thing. I kind of leaked to Brian on Saturday how much I liked it. So he'll know what this is, I think. But let's just say it's animated. And that's all I'll tell you. See the scorpion. No matter how many enemies, it can

continues on. It is strong, yes. It is fast. But do you know why the scorbine is feared? It's will. Okay. It's a little hinty. I know it from what you told me. Isn't that squid billies? No, it's definitely not. Oh, it's not squidillies. I don't know what squid billies is, so I assume that was what that was. It wasn't Mortal Kombat. It is Mortal Kombat. Oh, is that the movie? Okay. So this is Mortal Kombat, the animated Scorpion Mortal Kombat origin story thing that came out last year.

I want to say it came out before the new movie movie came out. But this is an animated, you know, 90-minute thing. It's called Mortal Kombat Scorpion. Oh, what's that? Scorpion Origins? Now I lost it. Crap. I thought I had it just in my head.

Hold on on. it's uh here okay let's just do this mortal com that where's it streaming it's on HBO Max there it is 2019

no that's not right that's the game where is it legacy shit I can't find it now and also I spelled it mortal combe so that's fantastic

anyway you'll notice it because it's the only animated thing on there and it's focused mainly on the origin of scorpion but there's a ton more there about all the characters.

Joel McHale plays Johnny Cage, Brian. I figured you might like that. Oh, you did tell me about this, right? Where he's actually, you know, it's kind of funny, but it's not too cheesy. It's a weird thing. He actually pulls it off. And because Johnny Cage is an idiot. And Joe McHale does a pretty good Johnny Cage.

So there's that. I really, really, oh, here it is. Mortal Kombat Legends, Scorpions Revenge. That's what I did. Legends, okay. It was written by Jeremy Adams and Ed Boone. Ed Boone being one of the creators of the game, along with John Tobias. So they, but it's all based on the game.

There is a bunch of actors you know in this thing. Jennifer Carpenter, the sister of Dexter. Dexter is in this. She plays Sonia Blade and she is maybe the most kick-ass Sonia Blade ever. Darren DePaul, Reinhardt. Yep, Reinhardt's in this. He plays Kwan Chi, Sub-Zero by Steve Bloom. You know him from a million voiceovers, even if you don't know his name.

The actor who plays Scorpion is the same actor, trying to find his name real quick, who played... David Patrick Sells. There it is. He is a garage hell scream in World of Warcraft. Oh, oh, cool. So later when he's like yelling and stuff, you can just totally hear garage hell scream coming out of that guy. But anyway, it's, you know, it's anime style. The thing I would compare it to, if you're watching Invincible or if you saw the, the recent, the Castlevania series that's on Netflix, any of those kind of things, it's that style, kind of that range of animation, very bloody, like super bloody, as you would hope from a Mortal Kombat thing, related thing.

So lots of fatalities and disgusting moments and all of that and, you know, lots of swears. This is not for the kids. It's definitely adult animation, but I loved it. This by far, and I mean by far and away, the single best not video game Mortal Kombat property they've ever made. It's better than that recent movie. It's better than the old movie. It's better than the horrible sequel to the old movie.

I know that's a low bar, but that's why I'm trying to say here, this is actually good. Like in the genre that it is, an anime based on a video or animation based on a video game, this is way elevated above all that other stuff. It's a lot better than any of it. And I liked it a lot. I hope they do more of these because I had a blast with it. Again, it is HBO Max and is available there exclusively.

Mortal Kombat Legends, Scorpions, Revan. And this is just one, like it's a movie. It's not a series or anything. This is one 80-minute movie. It's a one-off, and I have a feeling. I think the goal will probably be assuming it got received well is that they'll do more of these

with a focus on other characters. So the next one might be, you know, I don't know, Sheng Sung's, you know, something about him or, you know, whatever they'll still get. Right, focus on another, like the X-Men origins kind of thing.

Yeah, because in this thing, Jack's had his arms ripped off like he always does and all these things, including the games, but he doesn't have his new arms yet. So there's a perfect opportunity for him to have a whole animated thing. about Jack's getting his arms story arc yeah you call it Mortal Kombat legends got his arms

his arms are jacks anyway I had a lot of fun with it and I recommend it very highly and thanks to Lamar Wilson on YouTube and Twitter for making the recommendation because it's why I checked it out all right Nicole it's on you now to save the day so the first one I have for you yeah you know I think you've probably already talked about it But I wasn't here, so it doesn't count. Okay. So here's the clip. All right.

I'm waiting for it. I see it. It's popping. Oh, here we go. Not scrolling out. There we go. Okay. Now I'll play it here.

And you all will hear it. And hopefully the one is good. I have a feeling they might be a part of the big three. What big three? The big three. What big three? Androids, aliens, and wizards. That's not a thing.

That's definitely a big. No. It's not. Every time we fight, we fight one of the three. So did you catch up? Did you watch the whole thing? We finished it last night. I absolutely loved it.

Falcon and Winter Soldier on Disney Plus. It was so good. Yeah. Loved it. It is really good. Yeah. I'm sure you guys talked about it. Yeah.

We talked about it. We didn't talk about as a recommendal because we figured that's like a, you know, if you listen to this show, chances are you're probably going to watch that. But it's, yeah, it's good enough to be its own. MCU movie. It's so well produced. Better television than... Yeah, I was talking to Mark and I'm like,

I love that they're making me care about characters. I really didn't think twice about. And I really like Bucky. No, Bucky's the best. I'm telling you, like, somehow, the MCU just is like this across

the board. They make you care about characters that should be just so stupid or you know, Guardians is the great example. but there's so many Ant Man or whatever like why do we give us shit even they make us care even a Wanda Vision

like yeah but I love that they're just kind of layering on the story to to and here's here's the funny thing we never finish Civil War

so I really need to go back and finish it because we were at the movies watching it and Matteo got sick and so we had to leave right at the battle scene Oh, no, the battle scene at the airport, and you're like, oh. That's right then.

We're like, oh, my God. That's an important scene. We got to go, and we never got back to it. So I'm really needing to go back to watch that. I did start, I actually watched Iron Man again just to see how it held up. And it's still wonderful. Oh, yeah, Wonder Man's great. Well done.

Yeah. And Mark and I were having a conversation. about like who master planned this and I'm like was it Favro like when he's involved in something like with the Mandalorian and I'm just like he's a big deal he's a big deal but it's it's Fygie behind the scenes that you want to really think for all this because that dude is like the he's a genius everything that and it's hard to it's hard to know what's planned and what is oh we made lightning in a bottle can we make it again right kind of thing um figgy by the way I don't know if anyone else heard about this, but yesterday, Feige said in an interview with Rolling Stone

that his idea for the title of Wanda Vision was just based on the fact that, oh, yeah, we really like, I really like how Black Klansmen mush those two words together to make a title. So that's what I did for Wanda Vision. And everybody's thinking, oh, it has to do with like the ramifications of Wanda's psyche in her brain. And Fikki's like, no, it was really cool. I saw Black Klansman and they mush those two words together and yeah it worked out pretty good he's awesome that guy makes nothing but yeah amazing stuff so yeah it's very excited and I saw the I saw the um the pitcher of Thor the new Thor movie coming out oh yeah what is going on with

hemeltsworth's arms he's arms right yeah it looks like he cannot wipe his butt now I mean he's ripped massive ripped in that photo he's a celebrity yeah somebody that does that for him. Yeah. He's he's got someone wiping his butt. But look at him though. Like he's clearly, I mean, he's always buffed, but the dude buffed up for that goal. No, it's insane. It's like the next level kind of. So since

we've got to make a quick prediction here, since Tycho Wittee's in his like dots on his face, capture thing as he playing Kronk again or whatever's name is? Corg. Yeah. Yeah, we'll get, he's a fan favorite. Cork's not going anywhere.

Yeah, I think so too. But geez, look at that. Look at the pecks and his arms. I know. Like, his arms are bigger than my waist. His right arm is bigger than his, it's bigger than his older brother. His older West World brother is smaller than that one arm right there. That's right. That's amazing.

All right. It's bananas. It's bananas. Yeah. So, yeah. So anyway, I'm looking forward to the new Thor movie, too. I'm really, really enjoying what Disney's doing with the Marvel universe. And it's funny because,

again, Mark and I were talking here and it's like, it's not even about throwing a ton of money at something because clearly D.C. has been doing that too. And it's just not, it doesn't feel the same. Yeah. So. Well, yeah, you need the right people involved, clearly.

And D.C. is still trying to figure that out. They've got it. They do really well with all their animated stuff. Amazing. Movies, direct video, all that stuff. So cool. There's no reason why they can't translate some of that to like the DCU, but they just can't figure it out. I don't know what they're going to do.

I mean, I have high hopes. And I'm sure they think they're going to figure. I think, you know, it's not like they're going to make this movie, you know, a DC movie and go, oh, yeah, we got the right people this time. We're going to, you know, capture it. Yeah. Sometimes it just doesn't hit. So you never know. But I do have a second one for you. Oh, give us a second one. Okay. I almost forgot about it. I watched it early on a week. Yeah, play this clip. All right. It'll be a fun discussion. All right.

I'm hit and play. Hold on. I got to pull it over here. I got to paste it. Okay, there we go. Hi, my name's Elaine. Hi, my name is Elaine. Hi, my name is Elaine.

Elaine is our name. What hell's going on here? The village is like being on vacation every day. The Disney World for retirees. It is like going off. college you come here to live you don't come here and two pass away there is no place like this this is nirvana i'm just saying for me it hasn't been the fantasy land that i thought it would be for you know for reasons that are some are true to my own self you know all right no idea but

i'm in what is this keep playing that clip it gets better all right i'll keep playing it's better all right Hold on. Oh, my God. I think that when you live in the villages, you're acting the part. Surely everybody's life is not perfect. Now that we're in the villages, Reggie's sense of reality has become even more out there. I came down here to meet a nice-looking lady with somebody that I be not in bears to be seen on the street with.

You need a handyman, don't you? I don't care. Who am I? You got the answer. Okay. So, Reggie, we didn't get to the part of the clip, but Reggie is, he's a member in the villages. So this is a documentary.

The only reason why I know about the villages in Florida is because there's like a big Trump supporting and there was like viral videos going around of, like, like the residents fighting each other. Oh, really? Like, there was like a Trump parade. And then like the people that were not for Trump were like, rah. And it was like this whole thing still is, I'm sure.

So this is a documentary called some kind of heaven. Yeah. Some kind of heaven. Yeah. That's the name of it. Yeah. And it is, it, the villages is huge. And it's a retirement community.

And they have everything. They even talk about the bubble and how the people that are, like, realistic and why they're there. And some people are just kind of living it up. But you heard that one woman who was like, yeah, not really what I thought it was going to be. The fantasy land. It was made out to be. The funny thing about this woman, if you look behind her in that clip, she has like seven paper calendars on her wall. And she flips each one at the end of the month.

I was like, what is she doing with those calendars? But she loves her calendars. But she went down there because her husband wanted to go down there. And he died. And now she's stuck there. She can't go back to where she's from. You also follow a couple. The husband's name is Reggie.

He goes off the deep end. and he's into cocaine and he's doing all this weird psychedelic stuff and his wife is just going what the hell is going on and then you got the guy who said I'm here to find a lady he's an interesting follow because he's lived his life like as a playboy you know not doing much not really working he you could tell he was a good looking man when he was younger And he's there to try to find a rich woman. Yeah. And he doesn't live there.

He actually lives out of his van. So you follow him and his journey. And it's just, it's a fascinating view into not just older people, but just people in general. And the psyche of as you're getting older and there's still people, you know. Yeah. So I recommend it. Why is everybody named Elaine? Oh, so that's the one thing in the villages.

There's so many older people. So they have a lot of clubs. So they have like the Aqua Club. And there's a club of Elaine's. I don't know. It must be in Elaine to be a member. I love it. Yes.

So there's a lot of Elaine's in the villages, apparently. Yeah. Very common old name. But then they had and they show like the parrot heads, which is the Jimmy Buffett people. Sure. And, yeah, I feel really bad for the woman that's trying to leave, that wants to leave. She's very lonely. It's, I mean, oh, I want to get her back to Massachusetts.

One of the executive producers is Darren Aronofsky, of all people. Wow. Yeah, that director does nothing but nutty things. So this is a Magnolia Films thing. Apparently directed by somebody from high school, some high school kid directed it. It looks, and the, the cinematography looks really almost like Wes Anderson shot framing. You know, it's like really symmetrical and precise. Well, hold on.

So she can't, Maravina in the chat says, why can't she leave? She doesn't have any money. She's like, she's barely getting by. She, I mean, she just, she doesn't have the money to move back to Massachusetts. Yeah. so all right i'm trying to find out how old this director is looks kind of cool where where's the streaming uh hulu hulu okay hooloo yeah it's a it's a trippy kind of i mean they can't oh he's 25 he's not in high school someone said he's 25's in high school or he's 25 years old

it's not that that's an adult man anyway sorry uh yeah hoolu also by the way i see it's on prime for a buck 99 if you prefer to go there so yeah uh you could rent it there You have Hulu, watch it on Hulu. Yeah, yeah. I thought it was interesting. It had, it's a little disturbing at times. I don't know. Maybe that was the cinematography because it felt very trippy to me at times.

But it took, yeah, I don't know. It was a weird, it's a weird one. I like, because. It's like a bubble world. It looks like it, yeah. This is my kind of stuff. I love this kind of stuff. So I'm in, well, well, well done.
