Starting point is 00:00:00 Coming up on TMS, the sprinkler man waits for no one. What's your wifu password? A donkey on the lamb. The birth of Venus or David's penis? Stop the monkeys. He can't swing very hard anymore. Prime Day has just gotten too commercial. I like a good hillbilly in the city story.
Starting point is 00:00:15 Where do I put my possum? A crumbling facade of a joke. Grease is the problem I have with nut butter. Go kiss an onion ring. Can't wait for integration test season two. Live from New York, it's Tuesday morning with Justin and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Here's another kind of sandwich I like.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Peanut butter and mayonnaise. Just put peanut butter on one side, mayonnaise on the other, slap them together, and there's a sandwich. Not so far! The Morning Stream, you have chosen, Poorly. I disagree. You have chosen wisely. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, June 22nd, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Abbott. Hello. Hello. How are you? Hello. I'm fine. Just, you know, being a little sad. I could tell you. I was watching Hulu last night and right up on the screen there where I know. I know. normally just hit resume on the old permanently running Seinfeld series. A little message saying expires in four days.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Oh, four days to watch. I don't know where they're going. I don't know what that's about. They've been there forever. Peacock probably? I mean, isn't that a... Yeah, but it wasn't... Was it an NBC production or just a...
Starting point is 00:01:51 Now I don't know. I have no idea. Where is... I know it ended with... Bar-ba-da-ba-da-ba! You're not wrong. Okay, here it is, Seinfeld, too hot to handle. Oh, no, wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Might be available to stream. Yeah, it might be the porn version you're looking at. Oh, this is interesting. It says it may not be able to stream for months, it says. Oh. It says that, let's see here. Oh, okay. It's coming back to Netflix.
Starting point is 00:02:19 There's a little swapperooney going on. Because it was on Netflix before, remember? And then I went to Hulu, but it was like the very next week. So you didn't have to really live without it. But it won't read Netflix until September at the end. earliest. So I'm just saying if you're into that show or I'd like to have it on his background noise, you're screwed. Yeah. And I'm screwed because that's what I like it for. Well, I'm about three seasons into friends. Friends would love to have you. What's it going to take to put you
Starting point is 00:02:45 some friends, Scott? Well, I've seen... At least what I can get my manager to add on as a perk. Get you into some friends. Oh, I just heard some terrible news about friends. I guess I'll go ahead and share it because, you know, why not? We're a comedy morning show. Do you hear about that? The Gunther guy? Gunther. Yeah. Stage 4 or something. Stage 4 cancer, man. Oh, that sucks.
Starting point is 00:03:03 That guy seemed nice. And he was just featured fairly prominently in the episode I watched last night. So it was like, oh, that guy. Too young. Him in the background, cleaning glasses and pining over Rachel. Yeah, that sucks. But hopefully maybe something crazy will happen and he'll, you know, the treatment will work and he'll be okay. But anyway, the point is, I've seen friends, what, three times over?
Starting point is 00:03:23 I'm good. I don't think I need. Yeah, even. This is really, this is my first binge watch. We watched it when it was first, you know, on TV, week to week. Well, it was must-see TV, Brian. It was must see. It was part of Must-C-TV, and we must have seen it.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Yeah. We must see it. Must see. Along with classics like Boston Public, Caroline in the City. Trying to think of ones that weren't the big ones, like, you know, not counting mad about you or cheers or... What I mean, Boston Public? Was that on... That wasn't an ABC show.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Yeah, that was part of Must-C-TV for a little while. Was it? that's a different I thought there's a different network No What is wrong with my brain Boston Public was I'm sorry not Boston
Starting point is 00:04:05 Boston Common You're right Boston Public was the teachers Boston Common Was the comedian Dude That um I don't remember that
Starting point is 00:04:14 She was like a A hick that came to Boston To the college And So your favorite one then Of the night Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:04:23 Because you love a good hillbilly In the city I love a good hillbillie Actually this one I kind of like Because it wasn't yokel humor. It wasn't like every joke was it, oh, where do I put my possum?
Starting point is 00:04:34 Is there a place in my locker where I can put my possum? Yeah, it wasn't quite like that. That's true. I have a very vague memory of it. Who was that community? Because he was great for, you know, like he was big for a while, and then he just kind of disappeared.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Boston Common TV series. Oh, Anthony Clark. Boyd Pritchett. Yeah, who's it, Anthony? Anthony Clark. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Yeah, he did have a moment there, and then what are we doing now? Nothing? There's things, but not a lot. No. He kind of quit in 06, and then a couple things since, but yeah, weird. Weird. That show featured a young Zach Gallifanicus. 1990 lasted one season, 1996, 1997, part of the Massey TV lineup.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Was he between a couple of ferns? Those ferns were but a rising bud in a vase or a planter. A quick note, Brian may or may not have to be pulled away from the show at a moment's notice because there's a sprinkler man waiting for him at some point. Sprinkler man. So just don't be shocked if he has to peel away and is not here for a period of time. That may or may not have, but we'll see. Hey, I might actually hurt somebody. I got to do something about these dreams I'm having.
Starting point is 00:05:59 I kicked my wife so hard. And it was a dream where I was in an elevator being chased by some kind of crazed monkeys or something. I don't remember. Some kind of weird creature that was after us. And I was in an elevator. And I was in there with some other survivors. And the elevator slowly shutting, kind of a horror movie style. And these creatures are hurling themselves at the elevator.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And I do one last swoop kick with my foot to, to, stop the monkeys and then I wake up kicking my wife so yeah I don't know what to do about that this is why my grandparents slept in separate beds actually separate rooms even really so wait is that why because they one of them was kicking no I don't know if that's why probably it probably was something right like something had to irritate one of them to the point of like oh you snore or you fart you like explosive farts in the middle of the night or whatever yeah but and and so they had separate rooms for as long as I knew them. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:59 If you're going to go full Laura Rob Petrie and have separate pets, something's up. They were like over petrieed, right? Like at least those two could stand being in the same room together. Wow, I can't even imagine that. That's so weird to me. But yeah, I kicked her. Maybe I can because she doesn't want to get kicked anymore. But I booted her good.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Maybe you need a body pillow between the two of you? Maybe I thought about that. Maybe you get one of those wifu weirdo things from Japan, you know, with the you wake up kicking the wifu yeah kicking the wifu i mean maybe i don't know but uh so yeah i guess what i'm saying is if there's any like um nightmare dream experts out there who like here's what you do to stop kicking people in your own bed let me know yeah what you got that'd be great when you have one of those do people come over and say hey what's your wifu password oh nice yeah and then they say uh what you're right sure sure build on
Starting point is 00:07:55 to this crumbling facade of a joke it's not working it's falling off it's sloughing off the edge like mud I can't do it okay so chat suggests perhaps it's because I finished up wrapped up Resident Evil 8 last night village oh finished it good
Starting point is 00:08:11 you're done with it all done never playing that putting that disc I guess you bought the digital oh yeah but never clicked it on that button again well that's the that's the idea however the game is very tempting with it's like play us again because we're going to give you this thing and plays. Oh, sure. You'll see. More than, more than you normally see, but I don't, I don't think
Starting point is 00:08:29 I can do it. I can't play. That baby part, like, I was all, at the end, I was like, oh, John, I don't know, maybe with these extra guns of this unlimited ammo, this might be, you know, and he goes, well, what about the baby segment? I went, oh, forget it. Never mind. A forget it. The one that chases you under the, uh, what was it, the taint baby? No, it was the basement baby. It was horrible. Basement baby, yes. It was horrendous. Why didn't you say taint baby? Tait and baby. You had some name for it. There was some other thing that you found in that place do you call it like the taint monster or something right or am i i don't remember am i just so focused on the the the goo that i'm going to squirt into my uh bike pans this weekend
Starting point is 00:09:06 oh yeah dude got to get that uh got to get that butter bum butter what's it called away came up with the best name uh i don't know why we never thought about this but uh taint paint ha ha ha ha ha that's good paint paint oh yeah you got to put another coat of taint paint on Yeah, you can't go ride without a couple of coats of taint paint or else, what are you doing? Anyway, so, yeah, don't kick your wife, I guess, is the takeaway. Crease, grease is also pretty good, pops in her back. Crease grease? Crease, that's a little more visual.
Starting point is 00:09:41 That's gross. That's freaking foul. All right, cooch grease, that's worse, too. No more grease. Grease is gross. Yeah, I think the word grease is the problem I have with that. So I was looking at the famous things that happened on the 22nd of June list. I'd like to do this, you know, sometimes and bring it up on the show.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And I found one that I wish we had done. Sadly, we were in the middle of rebelling against these people and went and did our own thing. But in 1772, slavery was outlawed in England. Oh. Yeah. Kind of wish we would... They figured that out pretty early, huh? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:20 I wish we would have gone, yeah, we... we also don't like slaves and we're not going to have those when we go establish our new we should do that like we're you know we're watching across the pond like oh yeah we should do that here yeah we should keep up with the uh with the joneses the bentleys yeah the bentley's not the jones the joneses be here um but yeah like the whole the whole idea that we i mean 1772 was right around the time we started you know there was talk of rebellion right like of us seeding from the queen. And it just seems like it would have been a lot easier on us as a historical fact had we not
Starting point is 00:11:01 continued to have slavery. I just think it would have been better for America. Have we had we not had this huge, ugly freaking pox on us that'll never leave. What does that alternate timeline look like? I wonder, you know? Probably better, I would say. Probably better. Speaking of which, have you dipped into Loki yet?
Starting point is 00:11:25 No. No Loki yet. I think at this stage I'm going to binge the whole damn thing when it's done. Okay. Yeah, might as well. Yeah, I'm already this far. Why not? You know, what's after Loki?
Starting point is 00:11:38 Because for a while, we've known it's going to be Wanda Vision, then Winter Soldier, Falcon Winter Soldier, and then Loki. But do we know what's immediately, quote unquote, immediately after? No. Is there another TV thing right after? I don't know if it's right after, but it's... What is it? What if maybe, or... Well, there's not a Doctor Strange.
Starting point is 00:12:02 No. So there's what if there's... What is the next to MCU... Oh, there's literally a thing on Winter's... Or, sorry, fan-sided here. It says... Oh, good. Letting us know the order.
Starting point is 00:12:13 So after the Black Widow movie. There's a Skull invasion thing, a Hawkeye, a Miss Marvel series, the She-Hulk series. Oh, you're right. What if is the next thing? What if is next? Okay, but we don't have a date yet on what if, right? No. Oh, wait, hold on. Should, okay, it says here, should land on Disney Plus before the September 3rd arrival of Shang Chi in the theaters. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Should. It should. Yeah. God, it's a big gap. It's a big gap. It's a big gap. It's a big gap. I say that every time I go to the mall. Whoa, it's a big gap.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Oh, that's a big gap. Every time I put on butt butter, I go, oh, that's a big gap. So, yeah, so there's that. And then let's jump ahead to 1864 when, uh, yeah, I'm sorry, we were still talking about. No, it's all good. We can jump all over the place. Uh, Confederate general AP Hill, uh, turns back a federal flanking movement on the Weldon Railroad near Pittsburgh, Virginia. Um, and that was just a reminder that some nearly 100 years later, we were still fighting, we were fighting a war within ourselves about slavery. So, well done, everybody.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Good job. America. Uh, and then. we cured syphilis. Well, we found the cure for syphilis in 1910. Oh, yeah, baby. So, Brian, the reason you and I don't have syphilis now is thanks to German bacteriologist, Paul Enrich, who announced a definitive cure for syphilis in 1910 on this day. It's just penicillin, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:13:38 No, it's something different. Something specific, but based on penicillin? Because penicillin came before that. That's what I thought, yeah. Hold on. How do you cure the old... Oh, yes. Please put that in your Google.
Starting point is 00:13:49 history. How do you cure syphilis? Let's see what targeted ads you start getting now. Yeah, there wasn't enough of those. And then 1911, the very next year, King George V of England was crowned. Well done. And then this morning, my echo told me that it is both Kissing Day, National Kissing Day and National Onion Rings Day. Oh, my. How are you going to celebrate? You can do anything? I'm going to go Kiss an onion ring at lunch. Sweet. That's probably better than eating a whole bunch of them because they'll weigh you down for your ride this weekend.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Yes, exactly. No, I think I'm writing to Tokyo Joe's for a rice bowl. Oh, that's pretty cool. Rice still isn't the best thing, you know, but it's better than writing half a block further and getting a mod pizza. Yeah, there you go. Okay, here's a final one that's a little bit more in our history zone. In the year 1970, you and I were all of six to eight months. old when this happened.
Starting point is 00:14:51 I don't know. Almost a year, it looks like. President Richard M. Nixon. You know the one? That's the monster. I am not a crook. I am not the undead. He signed the 26th Amendment,
Starting point is 00:15:10 which lowered the voting age to 18. It feels like, had that been today, I don't know a single current Republican who would voted, who would vote for the lowering of the voting age to 18? Because 18-year-olds, the 18-year-olds don't vote, I mean, some of them just don't vote, but they don't typically vote Republican. And it feels like perhaps in today's environment, they're
Starting point is 00:15:36 trying to shut down all possible voting leaks. They would probably not let this one in. So I guess thanks Nixon for that. I guess, well done. There, you were, you were a crook, but you did a good thing that day. Could we just Actually, let's do this in a Mitch voice Could we just restrict voting to old white men, please? Just get that. I will hire.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Oh, you do that really too well. I was blessed with a good Mitch McConnell voice. You were, man. That is a great one. Yeah. As you know, in 1970, they made it possible for the voting area. He's such a turtle. Gosh, dang it, what a turtle.
Starting point is 00:16:21 All right. Oh, and Mark Chapman pled guilty to killing John Lennon today. So there's another one for you. Oh, okay. That's a bit of a bummer. That's a bummer. It is a bummer.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Well, there you go. That's all the, today, and fascinating history you can stand. Now the news. That's right. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Have you? heard about the bra i'm sorry i mean the podcast called the dad chronicle from
Starting point is 00:16:52 alex lbisu it's an amazing look at fatherhood from lots of diverse perspectives give it a listen wherever you get your podcast that's the dad chronicle very nice hey hbomax this is a couple days old now so we're sort of just now getting to it but tv o max accidentally sent out a strange email to all of its subscribers brian you were out of town but did you get the email i did get this email yeah and i just i really just said now it's just somebody doing a test this comes up all the time Yeah, it happens all the time. I don't know why this one... But the resulting memes and stuff were a lot funnier than when it happens with tropical smoothie land or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:17:28 And it really took off, like, became all anybody was talking about online for like two days, which surprised me, because I've had plenty of error messages from emails, and I don't know why this one was a big one, but it feels like anything lately that happens with Warner Brothers, HBO, Batman, DC Comics, anything in this, in that realm of those companies, seems to be meany, and I don't know why it's so meamy. I don't get it, but anyway, they did attribute it. Finally, there was a comment later in the day where they said, yes, it was the intern who did it. Confused and amused, amusement rather, confusion and amusement rather, overtook Twitter on Thursday and Friday when HBO Max sent a bizarre email to its subscribers. Subscribers received the email on Thursday with the subject line, integration test email number one. And the body of the email only containing one sentence, quote, this template is used by integration. tests only so all the jokes about oh i can't wait for season two of integration test email one
Starting point is 00:18:24 i'm going to wait and binge integration test uh yeah gonna go ahead and rip through that uh yeah it it took off uh users immediately turned to twitter to voice their concerns many creating memes saying that it should be the next show that hbio is wearing uh i'm not going to read these tweets because that's dumb um see okay director james gunn tweeted that he helped the integration's email quote is somehow the first step an extremely clever viral marketing for peacemaker his upcoming show ha i didn't know that was his i didn't know that either but uh no idea peacemaker was his monoclewinski uh who uh who uh famously was an intern yeah replied on twitter dear intern it gets better p s don't wear a beret for a while okay that's awesome so hold on this this peacemaker series is about that character dc character right uh oh is it
Starting point is 00:19:24 really yeah from uh oh yes john sina it's he's oh he's he's in the show okay so there's this i guess he's doing like uh this this is almost disney plus in its nature um they're doing a a peacemaker spin-off television show on hbom max based on the character from suicide squad Oh, very cool. With John Sina in the main role as Peacemaker. Nice. Starts in 2022, according to this. Yeah, I guess.
Starting point is 00:19:54 So it's going to be a while. Yeah, hold your breath. I think we get Titan season three before that. Yeah, I think you're right, which they just put out a thing, some images for, and that looks good. They did, yeah. Titans good. F. Batman, they say on there. Yes, they say that.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Yeah, they're into that. Um, anyway, uh, don't, uh, say, oh, yeah, uh, so that's that. So, good on you, HBO Max intern. Yeah. It's just so easy to blame the intern. It really is, right? Yeah. Anything you do wrong.
Starting point is 00:20:26 You can just say, oh, sorry, that was from an intern. I accidentally set out a Kickstarter update that wasn't meant to go out or whatever, whether you have an intern or, or not. So easy to blame. My guess is it was someone in the not. It's not like a social media department type, you know, entry level or whatever. It's somebody in engineering, somebody who has access to their huge blowout email systems. Like, I don't know why they would have done this.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Like, what template lets you hit send before you're done? Like, I don't know. That seems crazy to me, but. Yeah, wasn't it an intern that set up a press conference at the Four Seasons landscaping and, you know, the one next to the dodo shop? Yeah, the one by the dildo shop. You know, good old-fashioned Americana down that street. Right. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Moving on. Oh, yeah, they always blame it. You're right. Remember that thing? I mean, sorry to keep bringing up these GOP people. But Ted Cruz that time, he liked the porn image. Like the porn video and then said it was his intern that did it. Same deal.
Starting point is 00:21:33 I think anytime someone blames it on the intern, we should be suspicious that it wasn't actually the intro. I think so, too, exactly. The Exxon Valdez, oh, it's. Sorry, I let my intern drive the boat for a little while. Sorry about that. Yeah. I'd rather somebody like him just come out and go, I'm into porn.
Starting point is 00:21:48 That's my, that's my, that's my, that's my, is your Ted Cruz? It's my Ted Cruz. I'm really into porn, especially stepdaughter, stepmom porn. And that's what that video was. And I really like it. America of the Beautiful. Anyway, something like that. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Here's your next story about a donkey. And I try to try to get these on the show anytime we can have a discussion about a donkey. I don't know why, just I like donkeys. Always good to have some donkey news. I agree. Yeah, we, it feels like a band name. Donkey on the run is the name. Donkey on the run, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:22 The new song by Sweet. Donkey on the run. There you go. Okay, so here's the headline. Donkey on the run in the same town that dealt with a runaway steer. Boy, these people just can't catch a break. It's the same Rhode Island town. Or cattle.
Starting point is 00:22:37 That's what they can't catch. There you go. Nice. The same Rhode Island town that had to deal with a runaway steer earlier this year is now investigating reports of a donkey on the loose. The donkey was first spotted on Johnston about 7 p.m. Sunday on the town line with Skittuate. Skituate. Sure. What a weird town name. That is. Could be a silent seat.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Could be situate, but that seems even weirder. Yeah, where you all live. Skituate. Yeah. Situate. There's like three of us. It was reported. again at about 8.30 p.m. when the police arrived at the scene, he was gone. Well, it was
Starting point is 00:23:11 donkeys, like a freaking stealth ninja. Let's see. Here we go again, says Mayor Joseph Paul Acina. He told the radio show on Monday. Says he was concerned that the donkey might cause a car crash. No one has reported a missing donkey, but Paul Acina noted that there are several farms in the area. Animal Control and will patrol the area until they find the damn thing. It's a 1,500 pound for our European listeners. Oh, no, this is the steer they're talking about here.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Oh, this is the steer. Oh, okay. 1,500 pounds steer or 680 kilograms. Okay. That's space points for measuring. There you go. Escaped on its way to a slaughterhouse and spent nearly two months on the lamb in Johnston until it was captured in late March. I don't know if they still ate him.
Starting point is 00:23:58 They still slaughtered. Sure. Would you still? Probably a little, well, yeah, I mean. Is it a little gamey? A little gamey. Just from hanging out and not doing when... Just from getting more exercise than a steer usually gets.
Starting point is 00:24:13 That's fantastic. So could they just play some smash mouth somewhere in town and don't get? We'll just make his way over there. Yeah, kick the door open and go, somebody wants to write when he kicks the door. Right. That's my memory of Shrek. Nick or Van is all into Shrek now. He sat through Shrek for the first time.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Normally he's a little wiggly during a movie, whatever, some Disney thing. He sits down to watch. Shrek on a fluke. Taylor's just like, I'll show him Shrek, why not? He sits there and doesn't budge. Wow. Barely blinks, watches the entire hour and a half,
Starting point is 00:24:48 it ends, and he cries because it's not still going. I don't know what that even means. What does that even mean? He doesn't understand what's going on on on that screen. He doesn't get it. Well, if he's sad that Shrek 1 is done, then give him Shrek 2 and Shrek 3, he'll really be
Starting point is 00:25:04 sad. I'm trying to think. I don't think I ever saw a Shrek sequel. I think I've only seen the first one. Oh, really? Yeah. Are they any good? It follows the trope, right?
Starting point is 00:25:15 So Shrek 2 is adventures with the romantic partner that's introduced in Shrek 1. And then Shrek 3 is all about the baby. So when do you get the cat? Pussing Boots, I think, is in two. Is that a separate thing or it's not its own thing, right? Or was it? It was introduced in Shrek 2 and then. then he got his own movie
Starting point is 00:25:38 kind of like the minions Iron Heart and the chat says Two is good Three is bad Four is good That was a Shrek 4? Was it called Shrek Forever
Starting point is 00:25:47 Or Shrek Was the E Was the E of 4? Okay There was a Shrek 4 Really? Was there?
Starting point is 00:25:57 Oh Shrek forever after Yeah There we go So it really did have a 4 in the name I thought it was a Four ever after Yeah I'm looking real quick
Starting point is 00:26:06 here to see how that did. Trek Forever After performed well at the box office, but only achieved a 58% Rotten Tomatoes average rating. Whereas that same year, Horton Here's a Who received an 80%. Well, all right then.
Starting point is 00:26:26 It's, you know, hey, these movies did well enough to probably put Mike Myers into a really nice house. Yeah, that alone. Of all the things he's done, this is probably the thing that really, loaded his bank account, right? Yeah, really padded it out.
Starting point is 00:26:41 More so he didn't have to do shit. But he spent it all because now he's doing like Uber Eats ads with Dana Carvey. Yeah. Looking like old wax candles, those two. I don't know what to think of it. Swing, swing. He can't swing very hard anymore. No.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Swing. I mean, I love seeing him together like that. I do too. Yeah. their old story. Give us more of that crazy gong show thing that he did with his weird British, uh, alter ego fake character.
Starting point is 00:27:15 That, you know, he did a great job with that. You knew it was Mike Myers, but there were times that you kind of forgot it was Mike Myers. And that's not going on anymore. They're done with that. No, they're done with that. It was a year. Yeah, 2017 to 2018. Yeah, it's a bummer. Because I mean,
Starting point is 00:27:28 Will Arnett was on there. Jerry Seinfeld, I think, was on one episode as a judge. Oh, they should bring that back. That was great. went to J.P. Morgan and Jamie Farr. I love how long it went where people weren't sure it was him. That was my favorite bit because early on it was like people are like. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:47 When they were doing promo videos and stuff, they did a great job of keeping all that under wraps. All right. I'm Larry have it. What? Dana Carvey's brother invented video toaster? Larry, Canobi in the chat says, is that true? Is that true? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Video toaster. We're going to find out if this is true on the Wikipedia article for video toaster, which I used a bunch back in the day. I don't think I know what video toaster is. Is that just like a ripping video software or something? No, it was like, I mean, you could do like character animation and I don't even know what to compare it to. It was like a really cool thing. It was on Macs and PCs back in the day.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Okay. That sounds familiar. I want to know who invented the DVD logo that bounces from corner to, you know, bounces around from side to side of the DVD. That guy never gets enough credit, you know? Really doesn't, yeah. Let's see. Cottage industry, not unlike the success of the Macintosh desktop publishing system.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Let's see. I mean, basically this is like video toaster would precede like home, you know, computer editing would proceed like things like tricaster, you know, like you could do live stuff with video toaster. for, like, TV stations and stuff. I'm trying to see this, the Carvey part. Hold on. Carvey part.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Yeah, I don't see anything here back. That could be like a... It is. Brad Carvey. Holy shit. Brad Carvey. There we go. Look at him. It looks like his brother, but not him.
Starting point is 00:29:25 It looks like his brother dressed up as another guy. Yeah. He was, um, he was an extra in Wayne's World 2 and wore a t-shirt that said, it was a video toaster test pattern on it okay that's great I didn't know that that's great that's freaking great your nerd brothers of video
Starting point is 00:29:45 that's great all right well thanks for that that was an awesome little bit of trivia there yeah it was Amiga right the Amiga had it that was where it started I want to say oh really okay yeah I always forget about the Amiga like it was a
Starting point is 00:29:57 the only thing I ever did on an Amiga was play Zork I guess it must have been the first Zork at my former roommate's house when we'd go there for to stay there for a weekend. Be like, all right, you know, his girlfriend comes over. I'm going to go, I'm going to go play Zork. You guys go canoodle in the corner. Yeah, you go, you go test your birth control.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Go do whatever you're going to do, yeah. Test your, test your diaphragm. Say how it goes. Oh, geez. Yeah, well, Brian will be over here taking the North Road to pick up the sword and enter the king. Yeah, I remember my, my, my, my, use case for Amiga was very low.
Starting point is 00:30:36 I didn't have, I think I may have played a couple of games on some, like you, like some friends had one or something, but it was never in my, in our wheelhouse, either growing up or later. I guess it would have been late 80s, early 90s. We had as Commodore 64, which preceded all that. I'm a little fuzzy on the history, but anyway, Amiga had, Amiga had potential. They could have gone on to be like the biggest, coolest brand of all time and still be here today. And they'd be making phones or some shit.
Starting point is 00:31:03 they i don't know what happened there uh all right here's a story for you okay lay it on me a digital art oh this is great because it has pictures so chat room good news we have pictures you guys you guys like pictures um this is pretty cool digital artist reinvented the mona lisa and it's pretty cool but a little creepy maybe um so the idea is like hey what if i drew the mona today and you know with digital tools and sort of you know kind of tried to keep the spirit of the thing, but redo it the way I would paint this lady if I saw her, knew her, or whatever. And that's the result. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Digital artists created a series of works that use hyper-technical neural networks to bring well-known faces hurtling into the modern world. So, Mona Lisa, for example, what would they look like if they're around now? Here's the guy. Dennis, sorry, Denise Schreirev used his technical skills, some top-level. digital art software to upscale old pictures and video and turn his attention to portraits of old. And you can see this summary of his stuff in this little video here. But I don't know, I think you're Mona Lisa pretty cute. She is. Hubba, hubba. Yeah, I'd go out. I'd go out with her. You know, I mean, not now. I'm married. But, oh, look at this. He did the old, the old fart couple
Starting point is 00:32:22 with the pitchfork, American. Oh, really? The American Gothic. Yeah. Oh, there's the girl with a pearl earring. That one does not look as good. There's some weirdness going on with the bandana or her her scarf, headscarf, just kind of blending into her forehead. Yeah, that seems bad. It's a skin condition. This guy's kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:32:44 This, uh, the Rembrandt, uh, Knights Watch guy. The dude, uh, who I think was, um, Grant Wood's dentist. It was like his dentist and his sister or something that posed for American Gothic. The, the dude looks great. The woman
Starting point is 00:33:00 definitely looks like CGI. Oh, she looks horrendous in this. That's bad. Yeah. The dude's fine. She looks like a lawnmower man, CGI. Yeah, it's bad. I will say, though, so American Gothic has a,
Starting point is 00:33:12 is a famous painting, and it really is famous. Yes. Yes. To me, it's so depressing. Like, they're just like, I'm never in this house. I'm never moving anywhere. The government will have to come take it from me.
Starting point is 00:33:26 I got this pitchfork, and my wife's looking all pissed. Like, it's just the most pissed off, angry-looking grumpy. ass painting. And I guess that's the point. Oh, it's a brother and sister, is it? America. Well, one, J.C. Calhoun, says, father and daughter.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Taxicab says brother and sister. Really? I thought it was, so it's definitely his dentist, right? It's, uh, figures were Woodsister Nan Woodgram and their dentist Byron McKeeby. So there's no, they are not relations. Dr. McKeeby.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Dr. McKeeby. Hey, Dr. McKeeby, do you mind posing with a pitchpork while I paint you for a little while? stand here next to my sister. Well, after you come in for your cleaning, I'll take care of that. That'd be fine, says Dr. Brecky. Like the, the painting is to represent a father and a daughter,
Starting point is 00:34:14 but they're not really father and daughter. So that is supposed to be representing a father-daughter, though. Yes. Okay. So I always thought they were a couple, like married. They look like they'd be right around the same age, don't they? Kind of, but then in the new one, he definitely made, he went younger with the daughter and older with the man,
Starting point is 00:34:30 so maybe I've just read that wrong all these years. I don't know. I like that painting, though. Like, whatever. I'd hang it. I'd put it on my board. Yeah. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I just like how many times it's been parodied, you know? Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. When are we going to give you a neural network version of Whistler's mother? Actually, how about birth of Venus? Let's just get that one. Yeah. Or David's penis.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Just kidding. Is that what that one's called? What's that called? The birth of Venus or David? David's penis, one of the two. What am I thinking of? Well, the statue of David is what I'm thinking of. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Where he's got the little leaf or whatever cover in his ding-dong, or does he have anything on it? No, he has nothing. What am I thinking of? You're thinking of... The touching God's finger thing where Adam's got the little... Oh, yeah, right, the birth of man. And it might even be a weaner, but it's like a good man. It's effed up.
Starting point is 00:35:23 What is that called? The origination of man? No, the something of man, the Sistine Chapel. The tiny strunken penis of man. The tiny fig leaf of man. A scent? A scent of man? Is that right?
Starting point is 00:35:40 I don't know. I used to know all this. I took multiple art history courses. I know. Every year, every semester, I had to take a art history class, and I've forgotten everything. Yeah, same. I mean, I have kind of like a general, like a way broader appreciation across the board, but I don't remember details about that stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Let's see. I used to love that. Maybe it doesn't have a name. It's just, uh, oh, the creation of Adam is what it's called. Oh,
Starting point is 00:36:10 the creation of Adam. Well, where'd you get a scent from? Ikeur says, a scent of man. Oh, sure. Uh,
Starting point is 00:36:23 all right. That's a, if they ever did a remake of scent of a woman, but called it scent of man, And replaced all the characters that were male to female and all the females to male. Who would you put in the role of Al Pacino character? Yeah. Who would you go?
Starting point is 00:36:38 Jane Lynch. Oh, it's pretty good. You didn't even hesitate. No, that's exactly why. That's pretty good. If I was a half the woman I used to be, I'd take a flame throw into this place. Who are? Don't even change who they just haven't talked like they normally do.
Starting point is 00:36:58 You just keep everything. Right. You just keep the... Oh, that's good. You know what movie I thought was rife for a remake, really, just a comic book that is rife for a brand new adaptation? It's been long enough. What's that?
Starting point is 00:37:10 Is Rocketeer. We need a new... Oh, I agree. Rocketeer film. Yeah, I agree. That was a cool movie for its time. They could really kick it out of the cheese this time. Disney Plus, right?
Starting point is 00:37:21 Or Disney owns it, don't they? I think so. I think that's them. I think it's a Marvel deal. Disney Plus series, the Rocketeer, make it happen. Oh. The Rocketeer. I think it is Disney, and if it is, they have no excuse.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Hold on. It was created by Pacific Comics at the time, but who owns it now? Who owns this now? Oh, yeah, Walt Disney. There it is. Well, Walt Disney made the movie. It doesn't say whether they own the rights, though. Yeah, they may not own the rights, but they definitely did the first movie.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Oh, IDW. Too close to Iron Man. No, it's like kind of the opposite. Yeah. It's more like Steve. Dude who's not technologically inclined. Yeah. Plus, it's kind of like, I don't know, it's almost steampunk in a weird way.
Starting point is 00:38:06 It's awesome. Yeah. Rocketeer is cool. This would be a great, like, it would be a great time to resurface that. Oh, doorbell ringing. All right. Okay, Brian's getting the door. Be right back with Brian.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Brian Ibitt's tales of, dude, what's going to do his sprinklers. I'm going to pause the audio portion of the show. How to go? Everything good? Good. He's about to start ripping up the line. and oh I'm watching him right now there you guys got a big old flat-headed shovel he's ripping up the lawn oh he's doing the old way it's not like some kind of big machinery or anything he's just yeah and here's the problem it's like I got to figure out um the best way to give him control of the sprinklers because I have a rachio system that controls everything right and it's right here on my phone yeah he probably doesn't know how to use this thing no the app so no no he's kind of a kind of a kind of an old man.
Starting point is 00:38:59 He does it the old way, Brian. It's the old ways. Yes. All right. We're going to take a break. Yeah. When we come back, we'll check on him. And we'll also talk to our good pal, Justin Robert Young. He's going to help us make sense of that mayoral situation in New York, because I don't understand how it works.
Starting point is 00:39:18 And I just think I would like to see, what's his name? Chang, David, David, David, Richard Chang. Yang? Are you talking about you? Yang, Yang, Andrew Yang. Andrew Yang, yeah. I want to see him win because I think he's great. Jury King comes soon enough, can he?
Starting point is 00:39:37 He can even help me with the name. Anyway, that's all coming up in a minute. Before that, though, song selections from the vast library of Brian Ibit. Yeah, this is great. This is a project from indie singer-songwriter Noah Dickey of the Las Vegas duo, Coast West Unrest. And then another guy, James McAllister, who's worked with Sufjohn Stevens, the National, and Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:40:02 They got a debut collaborative album. They've worked together on Reclaim Records, big thanks to Reclaim Records and to Corey Counsel for saying this over. The brand new album is called Somewhere Right Now. This is the first single from the album. It is called Clap Clap. This has kind of a Beck, older Beck vibe to it, I think. You guys left to let me know what you think.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Here is the band The Tell from their brand new album somewhere right now in a song called Clap Clap. It makes me want to get a devil's haircut. Here it comes. We'll be back in a moment. Stay tuned. Head down, took a pill for the frown to my love, took the shove, took the all the above, not right, take flight, take back, show harm, on a screen, and a dream, is it magical heart? Because there's a story being told, do you want to be a part of it? And there's a story being sold, do you want to be a part of it?
Starting point is 00:41:27 So appropriate So appropriate There's a way through the trap We can never go back Clap, clap, touch the walls As we sing through the halls There's a way through the trap We can never go back
Starting point is 00:41:46 Clap clap in the halls I can fill up through the walls There's a way through the trap We can never go back Clap clap touch the walls As we're seen through the halls There's a way through the trap We can never go back
Starting point is 00:41:57 Clap clapped in the halls We can fill it through the balls 3 a.m. as we step outside Hear the pop, pop, pop He's down, she's down Heavy lies the fake crown Can't help I notice that the earth Is a small town
Starting point is 00:42:12 Because there's a story being told Do you want to be a part of it And there's a story being sold Do you want to be a part of it So appropriate It's so appropriate There's a way through the trap We can never go back
Starting point is 00:42:37 Clap, clap touch the walls As we sing through the halls As a way through the trap We can never go back Clap clap in the halls We can fill it through the walls There's a way through the trap We can never go back

Starting point is 00:43:26 I don't drink I don't drink Why? Because fish has sex in it But now, you have special help Sit down and listen, punk. This is the morning stream. And we're back. That song again.
Starting point is 00:44:14 That song again, that is the brand new album from The Tell. The song is called Clap Clap. The new album is called Somewhere Right Now. If I was a doctor and I had a room full of patients, I'd go, clap, clap, clap, clap, syphilis. Right, the penicillin, who needs it? Who's got clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. Anyway, very nice. A quick status update.
Starting point is 00:44:35 How's the dig going there with a grandpa joke? He walked across the street to get his tool, another tool. He is, oh, he's about to ring my doorbell. I can tell. Is he? Go ahead, bring jury in. I'll be right back. Jury's incoming.
Starting point is 00:44:48 He's struck gold out there. Who knows what he's found, but we'll find out shortly. when he comes back and lets us know. In the meantime, listen to this. These are their stories. Oh, I'm terrible with names. Joining us on the line right now is one Justin Robert Young, who is in a room I don't recognize. Justin, welcome back to the show.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Where the heck are you? I'm in New York City. What? I'm in New York. I had no idea you were going to be in New York talking about New York. That's a mind-blower. Whoa. I spent, yeah, spent the last day.
Starting point is 00:45:21 On the campaign troll with a few of the candidates. Wow. I had no idea. Like when you texted me yesterday, you probably knew that, that I would get all freaked out today knowing that you were not there. But that's amazing. That's so cool.
Starting point is 00:45:33 No, to be honest, my brain was melted from walking around hot-ass New York City. So you just asked me what I wanted to talk about. And I said, this thing I've been doing. That's hilarious. You probably passed my sister-in-law, Sarah, and her husband. Well, you probably didn't because it's a huge city.
Starting point is 00:45:48 But they happen to be there. I'm sure. Yeah. You know, it's so easy to bump into people here. You know, you're just constantly running into them. That's too funny, though. You guys are there at the same time. Well, all right.
Starting point is 00:45:58 That's cool because now I'm even more interesting. Is he covering the mayor's race now? No, he's there for a work thing and then slight sort of vacation at the same time. So they're just hanging out. But I mean, I guess I know so little about this particular election. Are they, when is this happening? Like, when's the vote? Literally today.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Oh, my gosh. Today is primary election day here in New York City. both Republicans and Democrats, although the Republican race is fairly, I mean, consequentially non-existent. It's Curtis Sliwa, the organizer of the Guardian Angels, for anybody who remembers that back in the 80s. And a guy named Mateo, Mateo was likely to win. He's got the money, although Slewa was endorsed by Rudy Giuliani yesterday, and what I could only imagine was a very,
Starting point is 00:46:49 crazy a rally but yeah either of those two are going to get run over by the Democratic candidates and that is really where all the energy is right now so who's Andrew Yang's in the mix is he anywhere near the chat room was talking earlier about how he's like
Starting point is 00:47:06 fourth in the polls or something I thought he was doing better than that so shows what I he was he was actually the prohibited frontrunner for the first few months of this race and as of the most recent Ipsos poll that came out yesterday he is second Now, he is second to Eric Adams by about an eight point margin, but what is kind of unknown in this race are a few things.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Number one, this is the first ranked choice voting election that is going to happen. That is, you know, this is probably among the more high profile in terms of money spent and media coverage of it, ranked choice voting elections ever in American history. You know, New York City and specifically the Democratic primary is obviously something that a lot of people pay attention to. But, yeah, the frontrunners are, in this order, according to the new Ipsos poll, the frontrunner Eric Adams, former cop, current Brooklyn Borough president, Andrew Yang, obviously an outsider, Catherine Garcia, who is a former sanitation head here in New York City. and then Maya Wiley, who's pretty much the progressive champion right now. Okay, and this, I'm looking at Eric Adams right now, former police officer seems to have a lot of experience, sort of like, you know, if you're a voter, you're probably looking at him going, oh, yeah, he knows what it's like on the ground, like he's not just, you know, he's not so. Well, that's, that's, that's the big question in this election is, uh, based on.
Starting point is 00:48:43 the polling, the thing that New Yorkers seem to care the most about, or at least the New Yorkers that were polled, is public safety. Crime is up, murders are up, shootings are up here, as they are in a lot of places, through the pandemic and now even into the recovery. That means if it's a public safety election, and again, politics is sometimes just this simple, what do people care the most about, which candidate has made themselves the biggest to be able to solve it, And so in a public safety election, sometimes it's hard to beat the cop. Yeah, that's true. Seems like he's maybe got this one locked.
Starting point is 00:49:23 So in Andrew Yang's case, I don't mean to be such a, I don't, I'm just a dummy about it. I always liked what he would say in like the Democratic primary times, you know, when they were all debating. And I kind of like some of his ideas and I like where he comes from. And I don't know. There's just something about that guy that appealed to me just as a, you know, a. a side watcher of those events back when, you know, the Democrats were fighting over who was going to run.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Yeah. Is he, like, does he live in New York? Is he, do you have to live in New York to do this? Do you, like, yes. Okay. All right. You do have to live in New York. And yes, Andrew Yang does live in New York,
Starting point is 00:50:03 although he got really beat up by Eric Adams for spending a lot of time during the pandemic at his home in New Poles, which is just outside of New York. And then moving down to Georgia for a brief period of time to help campaign for Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff during that Senate runoff in January. Now, Eric Adams, on the other hand, has faced his own controversy of where he lives as it became apparent that he might live in New Jersey. He said that he has slept at his office throughout the pandemic in Brooklyn and that he also owns an apartment in Park Slope. They went to go look at the apartment. When he invited, when this controversy broke,
Starting point is 00:50:43 Eric Adams invited the press into his apartment when it became fairly obvious that it was his son's apartment, including the fact that there was his son's shoes and clothes all over the place. And Eric Adams is a famous vegan and the fridge did not have vegan food in it. He also once said in one of the mayoral debates that the one thing he couldn't live without was bubble bads. And that apartment only has a stall shower. Oh, wow. Yeah. You maybe don't want to be famous for that and then show him a shower that or the thing that doesn't have a tub.
Starting point is 00:51:17 You can't take a bottle of that. Yeah, you can't. You can't take a bottle of that. Maybe you can, like, put saran wrap around it and fill the whole thing, but that would be pretty difficult. Yeah, it would be. So that's interesting. And once again, reminds me that everyone's sort of full of shit. Who's, in this race, who have you, since you've been hanging out with some of the campaigns,
Starting point is 00:51:36 who do you think is the least full of shit? And who should New Yorkers rush out to vote for today on vote, on Vote Day today. Well, remember, it is ranked choice voting. So you get to vote for as up to five candidates. And that has kind of led to a lot of questions about exactly how people want to rank,
Starting point is 00:51:53 how many you want to rank. You don't have to rank five. You can only vote one if you want. And what the strategy is to it. I was speaking with a friend of mine last night who's like a true blue progressive and showed me who she was like texting back and forth with a friend of hers, she should vote for. And it was like one through five,
Starting point is 00:52:08 every progressive candidate that's running. And so we went back and forth on like, all right, well, if you want to do that, then that is definitely going to benefit all those progressives because they will show that like, okay, well, you got X amount of first place votes, X amount of second place votes, X amount of third place votes. But if there is a candidate that you really don't want to be in there, like let's say you are for Maya Wiley, who is the big progressive, but you really don't like Eric Adams. You think Eric Adams would be terrible. And so it's like, all right, the other argument is that you start kind of ranking dog food and the brands by which you would like to eat them of least, right? And so you would deny Eric Adams any kind of vote, which you probably would anyway if you were progressive, but you rank Yang second or you rank Catherine Garcia third because you would rather see them get the votes than Eric Adams, or you'd rather see a candidate that's not Eric Adams, eventually get the, eventually get the nomination. So outside of California and Texas with governor stories, when there's switchovers there, I feel like New York City, specifically the city, and a mayor contest, nobody gets the kind of airtime that it does.
Starting point is 00:53:32 So I guess, you know, it's America City. It's everyone thinks of New York. when you think of America, I guess. I mean, I don't know how that works, but it's interesting, right? Because I don't, you never hear about Kansas City just got a, like no one cares, but they care about New York. Why do we care about New York so much? What do you think the fascination is?
Starting point is 00:53:50 It's just simply that it's New Yorkers or is there more to it? Because since the invention of the television and radio, the biggest television and radio stations are based here, you know, when you look at your nightly news, everybody lives in New York City. When you look at your 24-hour cable channels, these are studios. talent that are based in New York City. So, of course, the media has a New York City bias in the same way that political media has the Washington, D.C. bias. It's not that the Washington Nationals per se are a very important franchise, but in politics,
Starting point is 00:54:21 when they do well, you hear about it a lot through the political media, such is the same thing when it comes to New York and the mayoral's race. But let me tell you this, if nobody who is listening to My Voice gives a rat's ass about who the new inhabitant of. Gracie Manchin will be this November, that you have something in common with almost every New Yorker that I have met while I am here.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Because this race, while it has had an outsized a footprint in political media, starved for any kind of election or controversy coming off a sort of nonstop political crucible over the last six years, the vibe here is very, very, very, very minimal. I don't think I have seen, if I have it has been peripheral, I haven't noticed it, anybody wearing a t-shirt or a hat or a button that is for any of these candidates if they're not working for them.
Starting point is 00:55:20 I have seen precious few signs in windows and stuff like that. So to compare this even to, you know, let's say like the New Hampshire Caucus or the Iowa caucus or even what was happening in Georgia in January. It's like night and day. People in the city here, I think are very, very, very excited for the city to be opening up. I think they were excited to not care about politics for a little bit. And since this is a heavily, heavily, heavily democratic city,
Starting point is 00:55:51 I think that they're just like, whatever. There's a lot of people that are very tuned on to this. But I think that's another factor in finding out exactly who wins, because I do think this is going to be a low turnout election. It feels a little bit like people in North Vegas and asking them how they feel about the strip. They don't care. They live there. They don't care.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Like, it's kind of like that. Well, yeah, I think it's in another world, I do think that this would be a race that would attract attention because you do have flashy candidates. Andrew Yang is somebody that draws a national media spotlight. He was a big CNN talking head for a while. So a lot of people know him. He's got a gigantic name recognition. Eric Adams is somebody that is a very capable politician, but is somebody that also is, you know, a bit of a prickly pair.
Starting point is 00:56:39 He's got kind of one counterpunch when anybody criticizes him, which is that you're racist, which he has stuck to his guns, even when he's calling Andrew Yang racist. So it is, it is, you know, there are a lot of characters in this race. I will say, so yesterday I saw Yang, Garcia, and Wiley. I was, I personally found Garcia to be somebody that was, you know, a little bit more, you know, a human, mostly because she was doing the most humbling retail thing that ever happens in politics. So imagine this, imagine you have decided for the last six months that you were going to dedicate your life and turn your family's life upside down so you can say, I should be a,
Starting point is 00:57:28 charge of damn near 9 million people in America's largest city. And then 24 hours before the polls open, you're handing out flyers on the street like you are trying to solicit a strip club in Las Vegas. And you are trying to hand people flyers and they just like, are like, nah. Oh, man. And like so like the golf between the self-confidence that it takes to say, yes, I am the savior of 9 million people to please take my flyer. remember to rank Garcia number one tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Have you found your polling location? It is just insane. It was actually very, very interesting to watch in person yesterday, and you're going to hear it on the episode of Politics, Politics, Politics, that comes out tonight. Awesome. So do check that out. Also, I noticed a third episode of World's Greatest Con happened this week. You want to say anything about that?
Starting point is 00:58:20 It did. It did. It did. In the flesh, the third of our World's Greatest Con series, which has, had an amazing, amazing, amazing reaction. Thank you to everybody in the Frog Pants. Community, the Tad Pool for coming out and supporting that. We were up ahead of Dan Carlin for most of the week last week.
Starting point is 00:58:44 We're still in the top 20 of all history podcasts. It's the top 200 of all podcasts on Apple Podcasts. If you have not listened to it, now is a great time to get into it. One week before the big finale, you've got three episodes. that you can binge, and I got to say this was a very specific challenge for me as a producer working with Brian because we were coming off a very emotional episode in episode two where Brian was talking about, you know, the loss of his brother in a way that was very, very vulnerable and I think extraordinarily touching based on the feedback that we've got. It seems like people agree. But this episode focuses all on the plan. This is about Operation Minceme, a plan by British intelligence to try to fool Hitler by washing a corpse ashore in Spain loaded with misinformation
Starting point is 00:59:42 and presuming that the Nazi intelligence will take it to be genuine. So in the second episode, our heroes write a plan. And in episode three, they've got to figure out how to make it real, which you can write a story about a fallen war hero that's a different story than getting a discarded corpse and making sure that it goes from London to the coast of Spain. It is a bit of a gross episode. I will say that I would not recommend you listen to it while you are eating things, but we do not spare any of the dirty details and uh from from my point of view from the production standpoint i
Starting point is 01:00:30 i very much wanted to to bring you in to moments like when they realize as they are dressing this corpse uh that they have no idea how to get his frozen foot into a boot without it breaking off and so they decide that they need to thaw it before they put it in there so uh Wow. You can, yeah, I would highly encourage everybody to listen to it. This was a real challenge, a fun challenge to bit together from a production standpoint. Brian is great as always, and we had a great writer help us out on this one, Merrill Blar. That's awesome.
Starting point is 01:01:08 So go check it out, you guys. It's in full bloom, three episodes in. Go binge it if you haven't started it. And, of course, politics, politics, politics podcast, which will cover a lot of what you're doing this week. Sounds like you are full of the jury politics and energy this week. And that's fantastic. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:26 No, it was a great, great, great day yesterday. I love being out on the trail, seeing everybody, seeing all the volunteers. And, you know, aside from my brain turning to pudding, sitting outside in the heat, listening to Maya Wiley's two-hour event, I was thrilled. Awesome. Take it easy. Try to not get shot or robbed while you're there. Bye now. Not that everybody guess.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Okay, so Brian, update, old man McGillicuddy, still digging into the ground there and doing his thing? What's going on? He's done. He's done because he found more, he basically found what I told him was the problem and found more than he was expecting. So I was like, oh, I'm going to have to make an appointment. And I, you know, did one of those Chandler gestures. I hate stuff like this. I hate sprinkler shit.
Starting point is 01:02:17 It drives me crazy. I do too. Yeah, so, but he found where the leak was. He's like, oh, yeah, I can fix this in, you know, time at all. Go ahead and hit the button and turn it off. I'm like, well, this is where the other problem is that I'll hit stop. It won't turn off. Oh.
Starting point is 01:02:34 And he's got to go into the manifold to one of the valves and turn it off there. Oh, yeah, the old manifold, man. Don't want to go in there. Stay out of the manifold. what I always say. Right, right. All right. Hey, oh, I forgot to play this.
Starting point is 01:02:53 The jury will now retire. Ash, dang it. Keep forgetting. All right, some quick reminders here. A couple things. This week's play date, Friday, 2 p.m. Mountain time right here at frogpans.tv. Come play with us live.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Probably a bunch of jackbox stuff if I had to guess. So come check it out. We might play that other movie game as well. That's awesome. What the dub? I enjoy that. So that's this Friday, 2 p.m. for patrons and non-patrons alike.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Patrons get in first, but there's always a chance some of the non-patrons comply, too. You never know. You never know. So that's Tuesday, this week, end, Friday, for all of that. And then, now be here for Brian's before the carb load.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I don't know why that's interesting. Yes. But it'll get to see it before you eat a bunch of spaghetti. Yeah, we'll see how exciting that is. I'm still, so one of the things that I need to do today is get this, this iPhone here in my hands set up, it says, hello, oh, hello, la.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Oh, this is going to be the one for the ride. This is the one that's going to be mounted on my chest and hooked into Discord. Was that a six or something? A six of five? What is that thing? As like old guard. I think it's a six.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Okay. iPhone six. All right. S.E. Square edges. Okay. Anyway. Um, so that one will be
Starting point is 01:04:13 another Discord challenge. just video, no audio or anything like that, and then I'll all be in Discord in a separate channel with my airshocks so that I can be talking to everybody while I'm writing. Oh, nice. Can people see the, can they view and hear the same? How do you do that with two channels? Yeah, I'm going to see if I can, I'm going to see if I can just put, set up Twitch here before I leave in the morning?
Starting point is 01:04:40 I don't know. It's interesting, yeah. It might just be a tadpool. It might just be a tadpool thing. Because it'll just, it'll be here in Discord in the, um, on the Frog Pan's, uh, Discord server. Oh, fun. Well, I can't wait this is it.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Because we've got that empty channel there that, uh, not empty channel, but FryPan Central. So we've got the, um, what is the one that they always use? Oh, um, live audio. No, we're, we're, uh, TMS voice chat, I think is where, yeah, everyone hangs out. Yeah. Well, uh, it'll be, it'll be a fun technical marvel to watch your crotch cam, uh, move its way. No, that one, there won't be a crotch cam. That I could promise you, yes. I was really hoping the camera would be mounted on the head of the channel bars,
Starting point is 01:05:23 but then aimed at your crotch the whole time. Yeah, I know. You're hoping, but... Jocelyn and old Jimmy back and forth, you know. That's not going to happen. Sorry, ladies. And a few men, and a few men. All right.
