Good morning, Wednesday watchers of the morning stream. It is TMS. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Ibit for Wednesday, July 14.
Starting point is 00:02:18 21. Brian, good morning. How are you? Good morning. And welcome to the end of the first half of July. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's true. Look at that. The 14th. Weird. My birthdays is actually tomorrow probably be the end. Isn't that weird? Do you ever forget your own birthday and it just sort of creeps up on you? And you're like, oh, yeah. Yeah. Actually, because yours is just a couple weeks before mine. And I did exactly that. Somebody sent me a message today about a birthday thing. I'm like, oh, oh, yeah. Okay. Huh. What do you know about that? Oh, right. I have a birthday coming up, yeah. It does mean that I need to get your present, which I will hold behind.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Ooh, ooh. I know. I see a size. Hmm. What can I, what can I glean from this information? What can you glean from this? Shake it. Yeah, shake it. What do you got? Oh, listen to that. Nothing, nothing. No, no, no idea. No idea. No idea. I'm excited Yeah, a couple of VHS tapes As the chat, that sounds right
Starting point is 00:03:21 A VHNs tapes, that's exactly right Maybe a HD DVD So I'm sending you What, all right, let me give you your choice Because I haven't wrapped it yet Yeah Your choice Simpsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Starting point is 00:03:37 Or Bob's Burgers wrapping paper Oh Uh Bob's Burgers, Bob's Burgers. All right, Bob's Burgers, it is. Weird thing to have a choice on, that's cool. I know, well, you know, I'd have the wrapping paper all laid out. I was like, oh, it was going to wrap before the show started here,
Starting point is 00:03:56 and I didn't have a, didn't have time. No, it's fantastic. Because I've really got to get this thing out. As it stands, I've got to do priority, because I want you to open it up on the show on Monday. Oh, all right. Sweet. Well, I hope that doesn't cost you hardly anything. That would suck.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I don't want it to be expensive. No, no. All right. Well, I have, see, I have plenty of time. I don't care. I have plenty of time to get, Brian. I'm going to spend money on sending you a present, so shut the F up. Shut up, mom.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I'm buying what I want. I was going to say, oh, congratulations to Tad Pooler and the current chat room attendee DJ Stangle. He is now one of our mods on Discord. Welcome to the unruly mob. And your new responsibility to occasionally maybe kill a thread. have to. So thanks for that.
Starting point is 00:04:43 We appreciate it. Good luck, and I hope you survived the experience. That's right. The old X-Men comics used to say. Yeah, it's nice to have a real DJ around, you know? It is nice to have a real DJ. Finally, a real DJ. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:55 DJ Stangle, known for his hot riffs and his deep, his deep bass cuts. I don't know what I'm saying. I hear his Discord moderation includes two turntables and a banhammer. Whoa, that's. Great. Well, anyway, we're here. We got a show. We're going to do it. It's Wednesday. Thank you for being here, everybody. We really appreciate it. Got an email I want to start with. I was actually going to do it yesterday, but, you know, time by the way. Time, you know. Time and a bottle. Oh, hey, by the way, sorry. Today's a feud, right? Are we doing feud today? Today's feud. Yeah, yeah. I just got to make sure I'm ready. Get in there and get ready. Kind of spaced it. All right. So we get this email because we talked on the show about lumber prices, as if we were sometimes. sort of experts on the issues of lumber. And none of us are, but, you know, we may pretend to be, or at least we're like,
Starting point is 00:05:49 oh, that price is a lumber, can you believe it? Sort of talk, but we got an actual... What does that have to do with the price of lumber in Vermont? Exactly. So we got an actual response from somebody who would know. And this comes to us from Brody, who ends his email by saying Locator Ogar is definitely a horde man. Nice. Love it.
Starting point is 00:06:07 The subject was lumber prices. I am a lumber deliverer, a delivered. driver, I think he meant delivery, right? He put delivered. Yeah. Okay. And as I was unloading some lumber for a job site, I was listening to yesterday's podcast and you were talking about the lumber prices and why they are so high. It's a mix between a few things. You were right with it being so expensive because of high demand, because of all the construction happening, but also because of all the fires last year, plus COVID forcing the lumber plants to go half staff and the favorites, or, let's see,
Starting point is 00:06:41 and the favorites where the special glue is made for engineering wood products, EWP, like I joists and plywood. I don't know what I joists, eye joints. This whole sentence is like what the Home Depot guy says to me as I'm looking around thinking, I just need a two by four. Yeah, well, and the typos don't help. But anyway, I think he means eyewints.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Oh, okay. The pot calling the kettle misspelled. I love it. I'm the wrong guy to, I'm the wrong guy to even do this. Anyway, I think he meant eye joints. And plywood were forced to shut down a few months ago because of the Texas freezing over thing. I had completely forgotten about that messed up. I did too. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Yeah, all sorts of stuff like chip manufacturing and now I guess lumber had something to do with it. Like Texas getting hit with that freeze in the winter was bad all around. It says before 2020 happened, the EWP was in high demand already, but now. it's even worse. And again, the EWP is like the special glue you need to hook all this wood together or to make, just make no engineered wood products is EWP, but. Right. Oh, I see. Okay. Yeah. Oh, they got their own little fancy name for the wood products. They do. Youep. They call it you up for short. Oop. Hey, could you hand me another, uh, another bundle of Eop, please? If it had, if it was glue
Starting point is 00:08:01 and then you ignored the four, but if it was glue for your engineered wood products, it'd be youp wouldn't it by the way i joists are the uh joyce that are shaped like an eye like an iron girder but they're made of plywood so that's a real term joists joists yeah oh yeah okay well shows what i know we had to punch holes in the joists uh so um we i'll see if i can condense this long story but um we put new mirrors in our master bathroom this weekend oh right you were talking about that yeah yeah and uh tina's dad was coming over came over to help his um There was some electrical involved that was a little more than a little out of my pay grade. Like I can add a light switch and I can change things out and I can daisy chain off another one.
Starting point is 00:08:48 But the outlet in our bathroom had too many things coming off that we couldn't daisy chain the new mirrors on it because they're fog-free. They have a heating element in them so they don't fog up and they have a built-in LED around the outside. Oh, right. You were talking about the kind of vanity style. Their NGM Grand Vegas mirrors is what they are. That's cool. Yeah, that's great. So we had to run a lineup from the basement. And in doing so, we had to get up into the drop ceiling or open up the drop ceiling and hammer a hole through the Joyce. So the joists have like a, oh, what is that?
Starting point is 00:09:29 It's like a press board, except it's really coarse press board. It looks like they barely did anything to, like... Particle board. Right? Kind of particle boardish, yeah. But you even see, like, the chunks of board in there that they chopped up. MDF, is that it? MDF.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Oh, that is plywood. No? No. It is plywood. It's like a press board plywood. It's like, but you see all the pieces of, oh, oriented strand board. OSB, there we go. Oh, the old OSB.
Starting point is 00:09:59 The old OSB, yes. But anyway, so it's got perforated. Yeah, go ahead. Perforated holes. in there so that you can just take a hammer and go pep and pop out a perfect little circle, little disc, that you can run your wires through or your
Starting point is 00:10:12 lines through and so those were the Joyce. So we now know, I learned something today, I didn't know, I thought Joyce was a, was a, was a, uh, you thought she was just the florist on three's company, didn't you? Yeah, I always thought Joyce was spelled Joyce DeWitt. Yeah, Joist DeWitt. Yeah, Joyce DeWitt.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Was she a florist? I don't remember that. She was, yeah. Janet Wood was a florist. Huh. Oh. I just got that joke. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Nice job. So wait. Who was the other one? What'd she do for a living? Chrissy. Chrissy Snow? Wasn't she like a... A cheetah?
Starting point is 00:10:51 She like an exercise. No, I guess that was just... That was just Suzanne Summers and her stupid thymaster. She was a nurse, says the chat. What did Chrissy Snow do? Well, no, the later one was a nurse. Yeah, that's what I thought. sister was a nurse, right? No, no. The woman that came in, that wasn't her sister. So her sister was
Starting point is 00:11:11 Jenny Lee Harrison. Yeah. And she was just around for one season while Chrissy Snow negotiated her contract. Unsuccessfully, turns out. Unsuccessfully. Yeah. But I can't remember. Oh, Captain Kipper has found a link. Maybe we can figure out what Chrissy Snow's occupation was. Yeah. Because I don't remember if she did anything like so joyce de witt works at the arcade flower shop or uh janet wood chrissey snow a ditsy secretary from fresno oh yes all right and then jack was a was a um uh jackcher yeah jack was a chef yeah yeah so he had a cook uh terry alden priscilla barnes was the nurse and uh genley harrison was cindy snow accident prone cousin a secretary and later a veterinary student at ucela does it say Larry's job was? What did Larry do?
Starting point is 00:12:04 Larry was just a slime ball, wasn't he? He was a used car sales him. Oh my gosh, dude. What a stupid stereotype. Freaking Larry. Larry? Let's go down with the regal-beagle. He was a guy that was always trying to get like a homemade porn movie made or something.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Jack, Jack, I've got twins in my apartment. Come down to help me out. Yeah, there you go. Hurry up before the Furlies find us. I don't know. Furley is the one guy. The ropers. Yeah, either one. Uh-huh. I mean, look, It was a long time ago, you guys. This is an old show.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Yeah, exactly. That show is now way old. Ask your uncle and your aunt and uncle. Maybe not your grandparents. Yeah, maybe not them. Oh, maybe. I don't know. We just, we figured out before the show that Nirvana's smells like teen spirit is 30 plus years old.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Think of that. Oh, my lord. All right. So anyway, it goes on to say. Yeah, we're back to the lumber here. Yeah, where are we here? Before 2020 happened, it was in high demand already. The yard I work.
Starting point is 00:13:02 for went from being overstocked to us being very restricted on how much we could send out and each contractor having a limit to what they could buy each month. We've been forced to stop selling certain products to walk-in cash customers. We are starting to sell our stock, or sorry, get our stock back up, but the stuff we are receiving from the lumber mills is stuff we ordered three to five months ago. Thanks for the great podcast. I listen daily. A lot of show created for the both of you daily. I may have read that wrong. Anyway, Thanks, Brody. That's good information because I don't understand these things. So we leave it to you sometimes to fill us in. I'm with what.
Starting point is 00:13:39 So thank you for that. Totally true. And I understand more about that stuff now than I did. So now when the Home Depot guy is talking to me, I won't have to sit there and say, I wonder where the plumbing is. Yeah. No kidding, right? I did. There is some shaking loose of some GPU-style chip manufacturing, I guess. So I wonder if that's a sign that the chip shortage is going to tighten up. people might be able to finally get PS5s yeah maybe maybe some PS5s and Xboxes will get in
Starting point is 00:14:07 people's hands finally the other thing I noticed was so I guess we talked about on the show maybe we didn't but how all the car lots are empty or they're down to like three trucks when normally it's just stacked and it was that is also due to the chip shortage and apparently there are just miles and miles of car lots just full of these trucks and cars waiting for chips and so i feel like a sign of that lightning up will be when we start to see uh dealerships full of cars again you know what i'm saying like right actually having stock there that'll probably be the thing yeah i mean and and uh icore talks about the rental car shortage too yeah that's probably it's sort of related because that's where rental cars would sometimes go is to the used
Starting point is 00:14:51 car lots or the car lots because they were still relatively new right just had a lot of of miles and a lot of drivers that didn't care because it was a rental car. Yeah. My guess is they're probably they probably buy new fleets. When they're going through new ones, they buy, they have fleet deals with the dealer or with the car manufacturers.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Like if I'm Hertz, I probably buy, I don't know, 100 new Camrys. And then the old Camrys, which don't have a ton of miles and are all in pretty good shape, you sell those used at bulk or whatever to use car lots. And then those sell really quickly because nobody can get
Starting point is 00:15:28 new ones, and they go for more money. It's all left up, is what I'm saying. It really is. It really is. Oh, you know, all right, anybody in this may be a question I put out there and we get an answer to talk about tomorrow. Right. But Orange County, I guess this doesn't solve all my problems, but is Orange County one of those
Starting point is 00:15:46 places now where you can rent a little scooter like a lime or a lift scooter and putter around or, because they have those all over downtown Denver. They've got them all over Vegas. Oh, no, they haven't been Vegas yet, do that. But there are some places where they've got them. You just rent them and you putter around the, you know, you swipe your card or you enter, you use your QR code on your phone and that sort of thing. I'm wondering if they have a little lime scooters over there in Orange County,
Starting point is 00:16:15 because that would make my life a little bit easier for a couple things. I would assume so, wouldn't they? Seems like Orange County should or leave parts of it. I'm not going to take one all the way from the airport. That problem is not solved. No. But I certainly don't want to rent, I'm not going to rent a car for, I'm not going to rent a car for more per day than it's going to cost me to go to Disneyland. That just seems absolutely ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I heard from an Orange County ER doctor listener who says that their, their COVID rates are way up in Orange County. So just be careful around all the dummies. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. Well, I'm, I'm vaccinated. That helps. That should help.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yeah. Obviously. You're a lot better shape than. than if you're not. Doesn't zero out the problem, but... Right. Just watch out for anybody who's got a... Has kind of a delta look to them.
Starting point is 00:17:03 You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Or Lambda. You know what? I'll watch out for people who are eating at the country bear jamboree because it'll be clear that they have no sense of taste. There you go. That's exactly right.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Yeah. I get it. That's a good joke about taste, about personal taste. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. See? Works the two ways.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I liked it. I liked it a lot. All right. We're going to play a game, and it's going to involve listeners. Oh, I'm so not ready for this. Hold on. Okay, so we'll do, we'll get done away in first. Okay, so he's getting wrong. We're ringing him up.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Oh, my gosh. I'm excited about this one. Oh, really? I'm nervous now, just to hear you say that. Yeah, you should be. Great. The number is coming in. We'll have somebody answering shortly, and as soon as I push this button, we're off to the races.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Yeah, that's right. We're playing a little Babel Royale, Tadpooly, a feud edition today. And we have Brian Dunaway here to join with us in doing that. Hi, Brian. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. Hi. Hi. I've been enjoying listening to you guys talk about shortages and wood. And what was the other thing you was talking about? Chips, wood. Chips, Threes Company. Three's company. Yeah, it's been a real scattershot day.
Starting point is 00:18:20 It really has. Oh, yeah. I'm sitting right in. You're a regular listener, aren't you? Yeah. Getting right in. Well, I'm glad to have you here. We missed you Monday because we didn't have a show. Because we never do tangents on film sac.
Starting point is 00:18:31 No, never. Never. We always stay right on time. What are you talking about? Yeah, exactly. All right, we're going to play this game. We can't do it without the help of a listener, though. So we're going to find out who's been waiting very patiently. Hi, who's this?
Starting point is 00:18:44 This is Guakmar from the chat. Gwakmar. Whenever your name comes up, I think, Gwak more, which makes me want more Gwak. That's the bottom line. We asked for more Gwok, but they wouldn't give us any more Gwok. That's indeed true. All right, Brian, Ibit, you're going to have to explain this game so that Gwakmar knows what he could win. All right, I'll do that.
Starting point is 00:19:03 It's time to play the Tad Pooley feud. I've surveyed the Tadpool on some nerdy topics. Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us, and it's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Gwakmar, 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. It's a couple of Steam games, Override Meck City Brawl, and Randall's Monday. Oh. What is that?
Starting point is 00:19:33 I don't know what happened on Randall's Monday, but it was enough to make an entire game out of it. It's too bad about Randall on his Monday. It's a shame about Randall and his Monday, yes. Those are the games you could win if you and either Scott or Brian win, Ted Fully Feud, but they need a category. They need a thing to buzz in on. so put your hands on your buses. I will say this.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Like, you know, I always talk about how many people put pass for their answers if they don't like the question. Yeah. This one had the fewest number of passes I've ever seen, like three or four, yes. Oh, well, that's great.
Starting point is 00:20:09 It means a very active, interesting topic. It's a very active, interesting topic, or interesting topic. All right, put your hands on your buzzers. All right. We asked, oh, out of my pockets, and on the buzzer, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:20:20 427 tadpoolers, and their answer to this. Okay. What's your favorite TMS audio clip? Scott Johnson. I can totally see why you like it. Yeah, no doubt. I can definitely see why you like it.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Number four on the list. Three answers will beat it. Shit. Brian. Say this question again. Sure. What's your favorite TMS audio clip? We asked the TMS listeners.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Oh, my God. I know. I mean, I listen for 15 minutes up to a star I know, I know. You're talking about news. I know, I know. Well,
Starting point is 00:21:01 Mm-hmm. There is a slight advantage for Scott on this one. Yeah, there really is. Yeah, this is going to be, this is going to be very one-sided. Maybe we should just give you Guacamar right now to even things out a little bit. My God, yeah, probably so.
Starting point is 00:21:19 You know what? I'm a host of this damn show. totally, I am totally blanking on anything this just. Whatever, I'm the host of this damn show. I say Glockmar is on your team right now. Yeah, Frank can do that. Save me and maybe they'll start coming to my head, but right this second, I've got nothing. Yeah, Brian's right.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Yeah, I forget what I answered to this when I did the thing, but, uh, ships, nice. Wait, which one was it? The ship's phasers. Oh, test the ship's phasers. All right. That's a good. Show me.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Show me, let's test the ship's phasers. You actually could play these for me. I could actually. Now that you see it. That crap, it's not handy. I'll just, I'll just, uh, okay, here, I found it. Okay. There you go.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Let's test the ship's phasers. There you go. Number one answer on the board. Nice. All right. Hold on. All right. So that means the two of you have possession of the board.
Starting point is 00:22:20 And, uh, this is for earlier. I can definitely see why you like it. There you go. I'm going to play every one of these. So does Scott have possession of the border? Oh, no, no, no, me and Gwarkmar do me because he, I got you. Yeah. Oh, snap.
Starting point is 00:22:34 You got to go down, Johnson, because I got Gwakmar, our number one fan. And then you got me. All right. Yeah, I've got my sick of them in my head. Why couldn't you have said catch phrases on film sack? I know, right? Cripes. Because there's not that many.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Sure. Sure. Not really. Oh, there's not that many. a hole in the roof, there's like a million things we do. That's true. Oh, wait. There's a chicken in the bucket. Yeah, chicken in the bucket. There's so many things.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Gross. There is a hole in the roof. It's still I meant that. All right. Let's give you an answer. There was one that Scott used to always, you know, like back in the day when I, before I was on the show, that he used to always do the let them, just, then they can just eat rice. Oh, the rice one? Yeah. Is that still, is that current? Is that
Starting point is 00:23:21 Is that what all the hip TMS kids say? It's stuck in my head. All right. Stuck in your head. Is that your answer? That's it. Okay. Show me.

So it was like, the horn scream guy or beep scream or honk or whatever. A lot of these, I had to find a common phrase for him and put them in there. All right. How about?

Starting point is 00:28:41 Anything regarding scooters. Number five, we got scooters. That was week one. By the way, the first week. It was, it was like early on. The A side is, we've got scooters. You flip that 45 over and it's, did you get a DWI? Did you get DWI?
Starting point is 00:28:57 That ain't going to offend nobody. I think I have that one handy. Hold on. There's that one. I think I also, uh, we got, those little kids. We got scooters. Hold on. Environmental and conscience.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Little kids doing it. We did have, we did have one person specifically said kids saying we got scooters. mentally conscious, do you say, lose your license because of the DWI? And you both together, you say, we got scooters. You say that together. This is the long version. I don't know why I don't

Starting point is 00:30:10 How about a booby? And then this one. How about a booby? Spickletcher. Yeah. all right uh still now it's back to me um that's back to you scott okay two answers left um oh oh my gosh this why is this so hard um i know i know because it's you know it really is like
Starting point is 00:30:37 you're thinking you're trying to think like the uh the tadpool yeah it's hard yeah all right i got one uh uh do the do dogs have brains lady oh yeah all right all right i don't I don't know that one. Okay. Show me, do dogs have brains because I really, like, wanted to know. Damn it. Do dogs have brains because I, like, seriously wanted to know.
Starting point is 00:30:59 I don't even know that one. I would have seriously want that. Not even on the list. Oh, nice. Nobody put the dogs have brains, girl, which surprises me because I love that clip. Oh, I think I just thought of one. All right. Because of a...
Starting point is 00:31:12 Not a Gwarkmore things of it first. Yeah, he might. Exactly. I love how you're throwing it. I'm not going to think. of it. I like that you're throwing it all on Gwakmar at this point. You're just like, not of Gwachmar. I put it in what I had, man.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah, and you did well. All right, Gwachmar. How about Hey, Burnham? Oh, hey, Burnham's good. Hey, Burnham. There you go. All right. Show me. Hi, Burnham. Oh, no way. That was a good gift, though.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Just outside. Let's see. That one is number 25, so actually a little further than just outside the top 10, but it was up there. Okay. We can still win this if Scott does. doesn't get it. Exactly. If Scott misses this one, Gwakamar, you still win the prize. All right. How about
Starting point is 00:31:52 if I get it, what happens? Does he lose? You win. You win, then Gwarkmar gets nothing. Yeah. I hate doing that. I hate doing that, but I'm also, you know, there's a, we have a fiduciary. You can't just, can't just give it. We have a fiduciary commitment to play fair. So I'll say the
Starting point is 00:32:11 the lady who found my, or there was, ah, can't give a name now. Oh, Clip-Clop lady Up at the thing The Nurtacular lady All right, show me in the clip-clop Oh, man
Starting point is 00:32:30 No, is number 10? Number 10 My gosh, here's her, by the way In the snowboard clip loss? You sure she does say flip-flop? She said clip-lod. It still makes me laugh. Sadly, yeah, that means
Starting point is 00:32:47 that Guacamire has lost. You still have one more guest, got one more answer on the board. Yeah, I do have a guess. We did fish sandwich. How about the I have the chaff lady. It's more recent.
Starting point is 00:32:58 It may not be in there, but I like that I have the chaff. All right, show me, I have the chaff. Oh my God. Number nine, clean to the board. No way. Hold on, here, I'll play it.
Starting point is 00:33:11 It's a little different than Brian's interpretation. Here you go. I have the chaff. There you go. I was sure that much. It was a throwaway, and in fact, thought of it earlier and thought better of it. And I'm like, ah, it's not going to be on there.
Starting point is 00:33:21 It's too new, but because people like it. Okay. All right. If people like it that it made it up there. Well, sorry, Guacmar. Oh, man. I thought putting you with Brian would actually help balance the scales. And it did probably help balance the skills, just not enough.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Yeah. At the end of the day, I think you can blame Brian Emmett here because he's the one that intervened on the rules. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You put him on the losing team. Way to go. Oh, that's true, right?
Starting point is 00:33:46 because if it's all good he forgives you he forgives you already uh well that's awesome uh having you play is fun anyway and we like having you on so i have this feeling that we'll see guacquemar again uh yeah well done and thanks for playing with us man hey brian dunaway oh hi scott johnson we can't do it without you so thanks for participating in today's technically you can i've you've done it before but don't yeah but we don't do without me yeah we like it with you and then we'll deal with it if you're not, but we prefer it with you, you know, we'll deal if we have to. But that means I feel your wants, not your needs. That's right. So scheduling was all left up this week for the boop show. That's why you're not seeing it on your feeds, everybody. Don't stress, because we need
Starting point is 00:34:28 a bit of a time to kind of get caught up. So don't worry. Next Monday, the boop show. Just a little boop break. Yeah, a little boop break. The show got booped. And this weekend, we will be doing FilmSack and we'll be watching. I forgot what we're watching. Can I say how much I'm not looking forward to film second. Oh, Fast and the Furious. Why are you not looking forward to the first Fast and the Furious? Not into it? I just don't want to watch Fast and the Furious again.
Starting point is 00:34:53 I've seen it enough times. I used to really like it. And over the years, I just don't feel like it's... Yeah. This is going to be tough. Yeah, I feel you. I've never seen it. So I'm looking forward to least seeing.
Starting point is 00:35:05 You've never seen the first Fast and Furious? That's fantastic. And I'm jealous of you because, man, I wish I was going in it for the first time. It's finally going to make sense to me. me why these people are driving these cars so fastly and furiously. Yeah, they're so furious about it and fast about it. Now you'll finally know. I mean, the truth of the answer, or the answer to which is the best of these nine movies,
Starting point is 00:35:25 it's three, which I don't think you've seen either. But three. Tokyo drift I've seen. Oh, you have. Tokyo drift is awesome. Tokyo drift. It is really good. We should do that one because, I don't know, end on a high note or whatever.
Starting point is 00:35:37 We watched that one right after we got back from Tokyo in 2015 because it was like, oh, it's Japanese. We kind of like that stuff. Let's go watch it. Yeah, it was great. And then that character, even though he dies in that... Sorry, everyone, spoilers. He dies in that movie, but they bring him back.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Because that series is nuts. Anyway, that's what we're doing this weekend. Dunaway will struggle against it, but he'll concede and watch it. I'll watch it, and once I watched it, I'll be like I had a real good time. You know how this goes. Yeah, I'll do it in that voice. But the feelings leading up to it are. I feel you, man.
Starting point is 00:36:11 I do. I understand completely where you're coming from. But that'll be this one. weekend. FilmSack.com for details. Get subbed up if you're not. Brian Dunaway, have a wonderful rest of your week. Buy now. What did I say? Did I say something wrong? I don't know. I didn't catch it if you did. I was pulling up the list because do you want to hear the sound clips people like just outside of the top 10?
Starting point is 00:36:31 Please. Barry is number 11. I'm going to put my headphones down and go throw up his number 12. I mentioned tender crisp bacon cheddar chitter-inch. Chester Cheetah, number 14. They're all going to laugh at you. Number 15. Trouble maker.

Starting point is 00:37:19 What? Because there's somebody, there's somebody, the story there was, if you watch MASH and you listen to the laugh track, there's always some guy that goes in there. What? In there. And we finally, we isolated it and heard it. Yeah. I don't have that anymore, but it's in here somewhere. Let's see, do I have this?
Starting point is 00:37:36 What? No, that's not it. Hold on. What? What? What? No. What?
Starting point is 00:37:42 Do you have the MASH laugh? Like, do you have it under there? I don't have it under anything. Hold on. Let's see, MASH. The guitar hero lady, while Scott's finding that, is a woman saying, isn't there a guitar thing called something hero? Oh, something hero. Yeah, that goes like this.
Starting point is 00:38:02 We're not a... That's not it. Hold on. Here it is. Isn't there a guitar that's called something hero? She was 100% earnest. She's the little like Paul Schaefer to what's his old man. What's his name?
Starting point is 00:38:21 Pat Robertson. Pat Robertson, thank you, yes. Yeah, it's an amazing. It's a sidekick. Yeah, the little sidekick on the side. Pat Robertson's sidepiece, I think, is what we refer to us. There's probably stories there that none of us want to hear. Probably what do we never want to hear, yes.
Starting point is 00:38:36 All right. Well done, everybody. do some quick news. I don't watch the news. Oh, good, because we do. It's the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by the TMS mini meetup, the mini mouse meetup. It's going to.

Starting point is 00:39:19 I'm a little worried because Vegas hit their all-time record of 117 on the strip the other day. Yeah. We're going there in August, and it's not even August yet. Right. What's, are the dates, uh, they're not at the same time I'm going to my thing, right? Uh, I don't know. Let's find out. Oh, I don't know either.
Starting point is 00:39:39 I'll have to ask him. I think it's later in the month, but I don't know for sure. So I think you go before I go. Cool. I should have planned that different than we could have gone to same time. It would have been great if we could have timed it, although it would have been really early in, you know, all right. Well, here's what you do. Plan of Vegas meetup.
Starting point is 00:39:57 I'll come to that. Hey! That sounds all right. I'll do one of my Vegas 24-hour overnight deals where, uh, No hotel room, no sleep, just Vegas. We'll talk to Kim, see what she says. Yeah, she's like, no, Scott, this is us getting away. This is our anniversary.
Starting point is 00:40:18 What are you doing? She might say that. Oh, it's for your anniversary. She'll absolutely say that. She might. I don't know. Forget I even suggest. She loves everyone, so who knows what she'll do.
Starting point is 00:40:26 If I make it seem very, you know, we haven't seen these people. And she'd be like, oh, you know, you're right. We got to, we got to do it. She might do it. All right, let's get to this story. Yes. We got a story about a giant turd. It was actually a carryover from yesterday,
Starting point is 00:40:42 so I'm really glad we got to do it because I like a story about a giant turd. Yeah. And this isn't a person or anyone in politics. It's an actual turd. Here's what happened. A giant turd closed the first floor of the House of Trembling Madness.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I'll get to it. While establishments in the city have reported temporary closers due to staff testing positive for COVID-19 and other stuff, um, let's see. The House of Trembling Madness had other concerns.
Starting point is 00:41:11 The Ale House. It's like a bar type thing. Oh, gotcha. Okay. It's a weird name of a... Yeah. It's a weird name for anything, let alone a bar.
Starting point is 00:41:20 The House of Trembling Madness. Yeah. What's in the... What's in your ale? I wonder. The DTs, clearly. They have locations in Stonegate and Lendell in the city. Apologized to customers via Twitter on Monday for the brief closure of its first floor at Lendell.
Starting point is 00:41:37 I assume this is. in the UK. These are names I've never heard of. Oh, yeah, there it is. Saying they had to deal with the largest turd blockage we've ever had. So, not unlike that story a couple days ago, where a smelly poo put that plane down.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Right, yes. They shut down on the alehouse. Did they check the ceiling for a hole? Like, maybe this smelly poo came from the airplane, went through the roof and landed in the house of trembling madness. There's a poo in the roof. all right check this out this is this is my favorite duplicitous story of the week
Starting point is 00:42:11 uh cigarette maker philip morris is buying a uk producer of respiratory treatments yeah that's what you do so you create a problem and then you solve the problem that's how you do it you get people hooked on smoking and then you're almost like the opposite of doth protest too much right this is uh doth solve too much This is a little bit like, what's it like? I'm really solved.
Starting point is 00:42:37 It's not really solving the issue, but it's like a, it is like a, what's a good comparison? I can't think of anything. It's like Smyrnaff donating money to Alon or, oh, yeah, there you go. Or glad or something like that, yeah. Yep, there you go. Oh, Carter's here. That reminds me to ask everybody about the dog thing. Ripley can't stop coughing

It gets worse yeah liquidy that's not a good one that something was going to come up there yeah which well you know I'd be lying if I said it hasn't here and there but she's um she's got I mean it sounds like kennel cough
Starting point is 00:43:48 it could be a thing stuck in her throat some people have suggested like maybe from a toy or some grass or something's like just like jammed up in there that happens to dogs a lot uh maybe it's something like that she can't get it out she's just sort of gagging on it but she did it all night long Nobody slept last night. I'm running on, like, freaking, just some caffeine this morning. That's all that's keeping me up. Yeah. Oh, poor thing.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Yeah, so I don't know what we're going to do. Vet, I guess. Probably the vet. Probably the vet. Probably the vet. Probably the vet. By the way, I didn't mean, uh, for Craig TV talking about, uh, glad. I didn't mean glad.
Starting point is 00:44:23 I meant mad. Oh, mad. Right. I mean, mothers against drunk drivers, not the gay and lesbian association of, uh, uh, uh, uh, it's like smearing off donating to the game. A's, yeah, exactly. What is glad it is Game Lesbian Association for Acceptance

Starting point is 00:44:57 game lesbian alliance against defamation. Maybe that's changed to be more inclusive of all the LGBT stuff. Right, of all the LGBT plus. Yeah. Yeah. They may have, that may have altered. Question mark. So anyway, so check this out.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Tobacco group, they call them, Philip Morris, internationally agreed on Friday to buy Vectura, a 1.5 billion pounds, by the way, that's about 1.44 billion U.S. This would give the U.S. firm access to the British drug makers respiratory ailment treatments and inhaling device technology. The move is the latest big push by big tobacco companies to change their image following years of negative press and lawsuits for marketing and selling cigarette products that health advocates and experts say continue to be a leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide.
Starting point is 00:45:46 As a, you know, as a vapor, Scott, how do you feel about this? Well, as a newly indoctrinated vapor. As an e-sig smoker, how do you feel about this? Well, is it fruity and is it just CBD? Because then you got me. Because then I'm in. For those who missed this story a couple of weeks ago or a week ago, whatever it was, I am not a vapor.
Starting point is 00:46:13 I tried a CBD oil vape pen and that's it. That's it. I tried vaping, but I did not inhale. Oh my gosh. Why did any of us ever believe him? Well, I don't think anyone did. No one did, right? No one believed him when he said that, that he didn't inhale.
Starting point is 00:46:30 No, no. I did not have sex with that. Well, I sort of did. I had activities. Listen, she's a Washington, too, but she's in Oklahoma Nine. Yeah, see?

I would probably, yeah, I would probably take the 405 to the 710. over to the 99. My memory was that you that you and Veronica
Starting point is 00:54:29 went there once and said oh my gosh, it was so long. But I think I'm thinking to her because she had to come all the way from San Francisco and meet you. We both drove down from San Francisco together. We carpooled for
Starting point is 00:54:40 for BlizzCon one year. I think it was Blizcon. It was Bliscon, yeah. I couldn't remember. It was like 2012. It was not a fun drive, but Veronica was like bereft. She was like, that was the worst thing ever.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Yeah, she hated it. it, but it wasn't a company. You guys enjoy each other's company. It was just, you know, it's a lot. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it was, well, I don't think I was the problem. She certainly wasn't the problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:03 I mean, all we can go off is that you don't think you were and she says you weren't. And that's got to be, it's enough. She says she won't. Yeah, exactly. It's enough. All right. Well, I'm jealous. I wish I could go that day.
Starting point is 00:55:13 But here's the deal. You're here. We're going to talk about tech. Whatever's going on. What's brewing today in tech is what we're going to talk about. So tell us, but rip that bandaid off. What will we doing? Uh, well, uh, Microsoft has announced Windows 365, which I assume in leap years will be Windows 366.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Uh, it is a cloud service for PCs. Now, this is meant for businesses, not individuals. Uh, they're not ruling out the possibility they might have a consumer version of this at some point, but it's businesses of one to a thousand. Uh, so there are business plans and enterprise plans for this. Uh, if you're a small business, they do want to market this to you. and the idea is that you would have a fully functioning Windows PC in the cloud that is easy to set up. I know some of the geekier view out there are like, well, you can just do a virtual desktop. In fact, Azure virtual desktop, it makes it easy for you to set this up. But not everybody even wants to go that far to set up and manage a virtual machine. So what Microsoft's doing with Windows 365 is making it dead simple. You subscribe to the service. They give you a machine.
Starting point is 00:56:19 That machine works just like a Windows machine, but you can access it in any browser. So a Mac, Android, Linux, whatever machine you've got, if it's got a browser, it runs. The general consensus so far from the demo looks pretty snappy. They're doing some nifty things. So like when you're streaming video, it will actually encode it locally in the browser using the browser's engine and then send it to the cloud PC so that you get the advantage of your local machine maybe, depending to keep things streaming along in a nice pace. But overall, it's taking what they're doing with cloud gaming and doing it for work.
Starting point is 00:56:56 And it's a little more secure because you don't have to VPN into it. You're basically VPNing by accessing it. Anything you install in that machine stays on that machine. Anything you do on your local machine, you know, theoretically it will be difficult for it to cross-infect. So it makes it easier for IT administrators to manage and keep up to date with patches and all of that sort of stuff. No price yet. They say they're going to announce the prices of the plans on August 1st, and it'll be launching August 2nd. Yeah, one assumes it's the pricing plans will be based, like you said, on, you know, big corporate deals.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Like, oh, you've got, you know, I don't know, 90 workstations on this. The enterprise plans will be big corporate deals. The business plans aren't meant for even like a solo entrepreneur, you know, somebody who's just running a local business like a cafe or accountant or something like that. They are going to market it towards small business. So it's a pretty good write-up on TechCrunch. I saw this go over my feet earlier today, and I haven't really dug in deep, but my bigger question keeps coming up in my head, which probably is obvious to everybody, but I look at this and go, ooh, so if it's really low latency, this could be a way, and like you said, it's not for consumers yet. Maybe it will be one day. Maybe not. But if it's super low latency. You can say you're a business. Well, you could say that. But whatever, I'm guessing it's cost prohibitive, but maybe not. I don't know. Yeah, we'll see what the price is.
Starting point is 00:58:15 But in theory, they could, you could run games. You could install steam on it, from what I can tell. I don't think there's any prohibition on that. I just wonder how that latency is, you know. It's the hardware that might trip you up. So it's one to eight virtual CPUs. It gets more expensive, the more CPUs you want to have in it. Two to 16 gigabytes of RAM and 64 to 512 gigabytes of storage.
Starting point is 00:58:40 So not massive in what you can store locally there. Two gigabytes of RAM? That's low. That's the entry level. up to 16. Okay. But you have to pay more to get 16, so again, cost might playoff. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Well, I'm curious about it. It's fun to watch them continue to leverage their Azure presence in ways that I didn't expect. Like, I don't know anybody with all this 11 talk, I don't think anybody was thinking, and the cloud. Like, I don't think anybody was thinking about that, but here we are, I guess. That'll be one of the things we'll talk about on Daily Tech News Show today is like this, this is the fruition of Satya Nadella's plans, right? I know a lot of people out there are like, wait, but if they're giving away Windows, how are they making money again? It's like, well, business, Azure, cloud. Well, this is the way you make money off Windows and the cloud at the same time, right? You sell Windows as a
Starting point is 00:59:30 service in a way that people don't go, I don't want to pay for my operating system. You're not. You're paying for a virtual cloud PC. Yeah, you also end up, you know, positioning Azure, continuing to position Azure as an attractive third-party pickup for people that need this function for their services but don't want to do the infrastructure. So, you know, Sony or whoever has to use Microsoft for their, for their backend for the cloud. And that seems really smart. Seems like they're making all the run.
Starting point is 00:59:57 And it doesn't rule out the DIYers. You want to run Windows locally yourself and your business? Great. Go for it. You want to do a third party cloud PC? Microsoft doesn't mind. They're just saying if you want it dead simple, if you don't want to maintain it, if you want to have everything coming from the same company,
Starting point is 01:00:15 because you're also paying us for office, et cetera, and we're really good at this, and Azure's really reliable. Well, here's a product for you. We'll see how much it costs. I like it. We'll talk about that. Among other big topics today in the tech space,
Starting point is 01:00:28 today on the daily tech news show at 2.30 Mountain Time. I'll be there. It's Wednesday. It's my day. And I love being on. So check it out if you haven't already. Tom, anything else. Oh, I was going through some old books today,
Starting point is 01:00:40 trying to decide what books I'm going to donate to a goodwill and which ones I'm going to keep. And I ran into lot beta, and I'm keeping it. But there it is. And it's already been given to Goodwill. And I forgot, some happy young man now has your, no. I have your book still, and I just saw the cover and went, oh, yeah, right. I did that cover for Tom.
Starting point is 01:01:00 That was such a fun collaboration. I understand you've got more in the work. So don't you tell to find people where they can find your writing and that sort of stuff? Yeah, absolutely. There is a, what you might call it, audio book. That's what they call it, coming very. very, very soon. Like this month, I have the files.
Starting point is 01:01:20 They just need to be uploaded and priced and all that good stuff of a book called Project Vera. This is the first time I've published first to audio rather than any kind of e-book or anything. If you're a backer of my writer's Patreon, you have the PDF of this already. But the audiobook of Project Vera is coming. And folks in my Patreon have gotten first crack at that. There is a bit of a work to become a member of my writer's Patreon, which is to remember how to spell ACE Detect.
Starting point is 01:01:53 It's patreon.com slash ACE Detect. Or you can just get free Tom newsletter. I link to that in the free Tom newsletter every week. So that is the new thing coming soon. Check it out. Very nice. Do do that, everybody. In the meantime, check out Daily Tech News Show.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Today, Tom, is it Ace Detect on Twitter. Same name, Ace Detect. And we'll catch you next time. Thanks, Tom. Thanks, y'all. Bye now. See you, Tom. It's a pretty cool idea, especially for Mac people who need Windows.
Starting point is 01:02:22 That seems like maybe a cool way to do it. Because these M1s, these M1 aren't running a native, although I guess Parallels is going to do an M1 native. Oh, really? What do you call it? What do you call it? Yeah, a translation layer via virtual machine, whatever it is. VM, yeah, right. So they're going to do that.
Starting point is 01:02:41 So that's cool for those. We want to have it local, but you can't do the old, you know, since it's not Intel anymore, you can't just load a version of Windows and boot to it. So this is a pretty cool way of doing that. It is. Just load it up in a browser. I'd do that in the heartbeat. That's great.
Starting point is 01:02:57 All right. Let's move on, Brian. We're going to do recommendals Sands Nicole, because she's not here. She's on a little mini vacation. So we're going to play this. I know. Just kicking off when we least expect it. Right when we need her.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Just kidding. Nicole, take your time, have fun. You're all good. I just don't remember authorizing. I don't remember approving her request. You didn't sign off on this? No, I didn't. I don't know what the deal is, but...
Starting point is 01:03:26 It's right here with that birthday card I was supposed to have you sign. Yeah, people. You screwed me again, Costanza. All right. Let's get into this. We're going to do recommendals. We're going to start with Brian like we always do. And in this case, Brian's like not to worry that Nicole's not here.
Starting point is 01:03:42 because Brian's got three recommendals today. And I'll be honest, my third one seriously feels like something Nicole would recommendal. That's fantastic. Which is great. I think that's a good sign. All right, let's get started with number one. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 01:03:58 It's a movie. Oh, a movie. All right, here we go. Are you aware there's an active group of people out there believe this is a real thing? Believe what's a real thing? That you're hunting human beings for sport. What?
Starting point is 01:04:11 Yeah. Conspiracy websites are. all over it. They're going bananas. They're going berserk. Reddit. I mean, I don't know the names of them all. But anyway, somebody pulled a property tax record for the manor that you bought in Vermont. Manor? No, I don't own a fucking manor in Vermont. It's a three-bedroom house. Jesus, I can't believe you use that word. Manor? No. Deplorables? It's charged. Oh, well, I initially typed fucking rednecks, but then I decided that wasn't specific. Hey, come on. What? What would you prefer? I call them, Paul.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Gun clutching, homophones? Hey, hey, stop, please. Academically challenged racist? Hey, hey. What about two deprived debates? We have our best team at Reputation Management flooding, flooding the search engines in the hopes this thing doesn't go mainstream. But even if by some miracle, it doesn't. And I really don't see that happening.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Martin did what he had to. Her fund. I'm sorry. You got to go. Okay, is that, um, is that what's his name? Zay-Foyd, Bebel-Brocks, what's his name? Oh, Sam Rockwell is not Sam Rockwell, sadly. Just like him to me. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:20 No, I recognize the guy, but I don't know what I've seen him before. This is a movie called The Hunt, which came out last year, right during the pandemic and didn't, obviously, right before movie theaters closed, this was in theaters for a while. This was really controversial at the time. Now I remember the name. People were flipping out about it, right? there was like a lot and it's it's easy to see why it's controversial number one it's produced the the uh it's written by nick hughes and damon lindeloff uh one of your lost guys and i think nick huse might be the son of uh damon lindola or i mean of uh of carlton cues who's the other
Starting point is 01:05:59 lost guy totally is i looked it up on his bio just now he is the son yeah son of that and he's the oh writing mentor is damon lindaloff who is mentored by his father carlton cues so they got this little triple thing. So the two of them worked on this together. And it was produced by Jason Bloom, which kind of gives you an idea of those three minds and where this thing's going. Here's the premise. A bunch
Starting point is 01:06:22 of rich, I'd say extreme liberals. All right. Snatch up some people that they deem as deplorables. They're
Starting point is 01:06:38 conservative, the people that they're that they're against specifically ones who believe in this this legend of these people who are hunting people for sport and guess what hunt them for sport
Starting point is 01:06:53 there's kind of a little bit of a weird hunger games vibe to this because the the people they snatch up the kidnappers are all dropped in a on the grounds of this manner with a ball gag in their mouth and a big box full of weapons
Starting point is 01:07:10 to kind of make things more fair. Okay. Oh, they get to have their own weapons to fight back if I want? They get to have their own weapons to fight back. Wow. And it's weird because obviously you're not meant to root for the liberals even though. Well, I won't even say even though you're not meant to root for the liberals and you're kind of rooting for the conservatives. And it's just a weird, it is such a weird turning the.
Starting point is 01:07:40 genre on its head kind of kind of thing. I think it's executed really, really well. And the main star of this thing, you don't even hear in that clip, but it's Biddy Gilpin, who is absolutely fantastic.
Starting point is 01:07:56 She's great. She was a co-star of Glow with Allison Bree. She was the blonde that Allison Bree cheated on her husband with. She was on Nurse Jackie. She was one of newer additions to the hospital in the later seasons. And she's just wonderful.
Starting point is 01:08:15 She think she was, she's the wife in the Tomorrow War, if you've seen that. Oh, okay, cool. But Ike Baron Holtz is in this. Emma Roberts is in this. One of the dudes from This Is Us,
Starting point is 01:08:26 the brother, um, is in this. And the woman you're hearing in that clip is Hillary Swank, who is kind of the leader of this, uh, cabal. Um,
Starting point is 01:08:38 she was in this. Crazy. Yeah. It's really It's good It's on HBO Max right now And that's probably as much of it As I really want to tell you about
Starting point is 01:08:48 Because There are some definite surprises in this thing I'm interested I was interested when I first heard of it Because I just thought Well what are we doing here This scene's insane
Starting point is 01:09:01 And definitely interesting So It's funny because I think the The name Donald Trump is never mentioned in the movie. Obviously, it's very timely and politically charged, but he's never specifically named. Sure.
Starting point is 01:09:22 I don't know. It feels like it's not too soon or too late for this movie. It's probably like, yeah, in about five years, we probably won't want to have anything to do with watching this movie because we won't want to be reminded of the last four years. But right now, it's like still something. like we're far enough away from it that we can watch something like this and almost laugh at it um uh anyway i get what you're saying no so let me let me uh so real quick here the director of this thing craig zobble i did a little look in here oh yeah what is uh what else is craig zobble so he directed all of the mayor of east town episodes oh really yeah oh
Starting point is 01:10:02 the same guy okay great this was the job that was literally the thing right after the hunt He also directed some of Leftovers, Westworld, American Gods. Outcast is amazing. No one ever saw Outcast, but it's very good. Yeah, so he's got a, I don't know, he's got a dude's got. He's got a good pedigree for, uh, it's funny. All this stuff is on HBO, Leftover, is West World, Arabis Town. Seems like he's, he's good.
Starting point is 01:10:27 Well, anyway, all right, I'm, uh, I think I wanted to see this anyway and then forgot about it. So, uh, yeah, it's just, just in the last week landed on HBO Max and Tina and I knew that it was something we've had on our list for a while that we wanted to see. So it's called The Hunt. It's on HBO Max. And that is all, I almost feel like I've told you too much about it. But I've got to tell you something. Okay, fair enough.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Tell me about number two here. Number two is a series, a relatively new series. And, oh, yeah, I'll give you a little bit of setup. The people you're hearing in this clip are, are arguing over the production of a play where chairs have gotten moved and a woman named Bernice
Starting point is 01:11:16 continues to handle all of the fruit on the craft table and she won't stop touching all the fruit on the craft table. Okay, there you go. Fair enough. Here we go. Did you switch those chairs? Did I order the cold red of Melveda?
Starting point is 01:11:29 No, I did not. Did you switch the chairs? What do you want, Nicola? Do you want me to sleep at you again? Is that what you want? I want the truth. You can't handle the fruit, Bernie, how many times? I think I need to go to hospital.
Starting point is 01:11:42 I'll fucking go. I'll knock your switch. You people, you have no idea how to protect a production. Melvina's accident, while tragic, probably saved lives. Did you switch the chair? I did the job I was hired to do. Did you switch the chair? Good damn right I did.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Frank, you piece of shit! is this? I don't know. That last voice you hear is Domnal Gleason. The other voice you're hearing is his brother, Brian, Greek Gleason. That is a new show called Frank of Ireland. And it is on Amazon Prime.
Starting point is 01:12:19 It's a six episode, it's the first season of a six episode series. And it is really funny. There's six episodes, and it's the story of this dude, Frank, who still lives at home.
Starting point is 01:12:35 He's in his early 30s, still lives at home with his mother, Mary, and she can't get rid of him. He's kind of pining over his ex-girlfriend, Anya, and his best friend is a guy named Dufus, and that's played by his brother,
Starting point is 01:12:53 Domnall, Gleason. By the way, it's Brian who looks like his dad the most. Yes. Like, wow. Like, I guess I never noticed, but Domhall was like, oh, okay, I can sort of see. the other envelopes. Brian Gleason looks like
Starting point is 01:13:06 his dad. Just looks like a reduced version of is it Paul Gleason? Of Brendan Gleason. Brendan, that's it. Yeah, and Brendan Gleason actually does make an appearance in the series so you get dad and two sons, none of which are playing
Starting point is 01:13:21 characters that are related to each other. Wow, that's great. So this is this is cringe comedy at its finest. Like this is if you're, if you like the British office, less so the American office. The American office was good at it,
Starting point is 01:13:38 but the British office, I think, really nailed down the cringe comedy. Oh, yeah. This feels like it could have been produced by Ricky Jervais. Each episode kind of has this weird little they're all fans
Starting point is 01:13:54 of pop culture, Frank and Dufus. So, movies come up a lot, and inadvertently, movie parodies come up a lot on the show. So obviously that was like a few good men. But there are other, like there are nods to misery and memento and taxi driver and things like that.
Starting point is 01:14:21 It's, yeah, he really did say fruit. You can't handle the fruit. That's amazing. It's amazing. Bernie kept handling the fruit. This thing has mixed reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but a couple of the Critics, I think, nail it on the head where it is, it is cringe comedy with a lot of laughs, but you're kind of feeling bad for all these people in Frank's life who have to deal with Frank.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Because Frank is, Frank is as Dufus said in that clip, a piece of shit. All right. Um, but it is, and there's a really, really clever sixth episode that I won't say anymore about, but, but, you know, obviously, you watch all six episodes. I think they're, there are 30 minutes each. You get through them quick, but the six episode has a very clever, um, twist. Man, I got me in the mood for Gleasons. I like all their stuff. This gives you, this gives you all of them that you get all the Gleasons. It's every possible Gleason, right? Yeah. It is every possible Gleason. Yeah, that's great. All right. I'm in on this one. This sounds like my jam. All right. Number three. And our own Claire Gack, her uncle, produced some of the music for it. Oh, that's cool. There is a little bit of a tadpole connection.
Starting point is 01:15:41 So the undoccur switch was appropriate. Let me don't get a switch. That's fantastic. We love the Irish. Long may they live. All right. Moving on. All right. This last one is a movie. Again, this is something that I think Nicole would recommend. So this is kind of perfect that I'm playing this in her absence. All right, here you go.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Okay, I know we're not, like, close anymore. True. And I'm probably the last person that you want to help. Accurate. But you have a car. Oh, there it is. Trust me, if I could just go somewhere in town or to St. Louis even, I wouldn't even be here. Go where?
Starting point is 01:16:20 You know, to get the thing, the procedure. Oh. Okay. You printed a map. Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico. It's easy, and I outlined the best route, including where we can stop for gas, food, and rest. It's all planned out.
Starting point is 01:16:45 We'll be in Albuquerque by tomorrow night. We'll go to the clinic first thing Sunday morning and we'll be home Sunday evening. Albuquerque. Yeah, yeah. I know it sounds crazy, but that is the close. this place if you're under 18 so you thought why not ask bailey butler to drive me hundreds of miles because she probably doesn't have anything to do anyway um kind of yes i have no idea this this is a
Starting point is 01:17:10 movie called unpregnant so if you're wondering what the procedure is un or i'm you say un un pregnant as in like the opposite of pregnant is unpregnant got it all right um this is uh a uh a uh comedy, road buddy comedy, with some drama elements that follows these two teenage girls as they drive from Missouri to Albuquerque so that she can get an abortion because she can't get one in her home state without her parents' permission. So, boy, heavy topic to build a road comedy around, but it works. There it is. Often the best way to get your comedy is from hard stuff. Kind of is. Yeah. You've got Breckenmeier, Gene Carlo Esposito.
Starting point is 01:17:58 Oh, is he a bad guy in this? Is he a smarmy chicken lord? What is he? It is good. I'm going to tell you, he's an Albuquerque, believe it or not. All right. So that kind of set something up there. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Let's see. What can I tell you about this? I mean, it's comedy. It's a good road comedy. Um, it's, um, what's, what was the movie last year that, um, Nicole and I loved? It would start the two women. It was, uh, they were in high school. Oh, um, not the show. Yeah. I know what you mean. Uh, oh, I wrote it down too. I forgot what it was, but I know what you're talking about. Um, um, undoguncimented. Like it was, you know, I'm now I've got on the mind, but it also had Jason Sedacus in it as another teacher. Yeah. And, um, and, And it kind of follows their – Do we get like a Thelman-Louise, like, Cliff Jumping ending to this, or no? I am not going to hide it.
Starting point is 01:19:06 There is a little bit of a Thelman-Louise moment to this thing, but I'm not going to say any more than that because it's referenced and it's really funny how it's referenced. So they find a stinky Brad Pitt in a hotel room. That's exactly right. That's exactly what happens, yes. I always felt like he stunk in that scene I don't know why I just looked all sweaty
Starting point is 01:19:27 He just looked gross man Gross bad pit Anyway So anyway This kind of is along the same lines As things like super bad And you know It's a
Starting point is 01:19:38 This would have been right at home In the In the 80s 90s As one of those Ten Things I Hate About You Um What was the Scarlet Letter one with Emma Stone
Starting point is 01:19:53 Oh, yeah, I forgot The A. EasyA. Easy A, that sort of thing. Kind of along those lines as the humor, again, would have fit right in in the 80s and 90s as a teen comedy. And it works really well these days, too. Obviously, there's new stuff that kind of comes into play with this. It's on HBO Max, and, wow, it came out last September, and Tina had it on our list said,
Starting point is 01:20:17 we need to watch this, or it was recommended that we watch this, We watched it, and we both laughed at it. Very funny stuff. All right. I like that Haley Lou Richardson. I like her. I don't know that she's the main girl. Oh, yeah, she's the main.
Starting point is 01:20:32 She's the pregnant one. She was on Disney, Shake It Up, Ravenswood. What else was she on? She's just stuff I just know. Every time I see her face and go, oh, yeah, she's good. She knows that act. Oh, she was in Split. Yes.
Starting point is 01:20:46 Oh, yeah, split. And there's Barbie Friera-Rera. I don't know her, but she seems funny in the clip. She's really, really funny. This, what's her name? Haley Lou Richardson? She's got a very, in this movie, she's got a very Elizabeth Shoe meets Kristen Whig vibe.
Starting point is 01:21:05 Yes, that is totally the vibe I'm getting from her. And she and her delivery in this thing is right up that, right up that alley. It's good. It's really cute. I think you and Kim watching it together probably would get a kick out of it. It's very good. Seems like something I would have no problem talking to Kim into watching, so I think we will. Oh, Mary McCormick.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Yeah, tell her Tina recommended it to her. Okay, I will do it. Again, the movie is called Unpregnant, and it's also on HBO Max. All right. And Gus Fring is in at ICOR. I started with that. I led with that. Yeah, he led with Gus Fring.
Starting point is 01:21:42 And then we talked about him being a chicken lord, and then you forgot about all of it so I can put the on-air light up for our listener today. Right. put the on air line up for iCorse that's for iCore okay uh here's mine we're down to one this is all i got is one i only had time for one and um it's actually a rewatch for me but i've never recommended it on the show before and it's all kind of timely because the subject of this uh came up recently or the person involved and you'll probably get it when you hear it so uh it's a documentary enjoy Netflix here we go let me put up this next memo you want me to read this
Starting point is 01:22:16 Yes, please. February 4th, 2004. Subject. What you know. There are known knowns. There are known unknowns. There are unknown unknowns. But there are also unknown knowns.
Starting point is 01:22:46 that is to say things that you think you know that it turns out you did not okay guesses thoughts feelings god i've seen this i'm pretty sure i've seen this because the the um the script sounds very familiar but um is this a fargo season negative so it's a documentary um okay and it's an errol morris film. You may know him from the thin blue line, and I forgot the McNamara documentary and forgot the name of it, which this is kind of based on that. This is almost like a sequel to that. But this movie is called The Unknown Known. And it came out in 2013, and it is a big, long interview and deep dive into Donald Rumsfeld and his role in the Iraq War. Oh, okay. And kind of post-9-11 stuff and all that.
Starting point is 01:23:44 It's very, very, very, very good. And the reason I like it is Errol Morris pulls no punches, first of all. That guy makes documentaries that really stick with you and they're great. They're really hard-hitting stuff, amazing stuff. And he did this again with Robert McNamara, the, what's the name of the Secretary of Defense for Nixon and Johnson. So Vietnam War, basically. He's around for that. And that whole documentary, I forgot the name of it, dang it.
Starting point is 01:24:13 But that entire thing is basically have a fog of war, that's it, making him justify the war. Like, why did they make certain decisions that they did when they pulled out of the war and what all that fallout meant when they got into the word to begin with, when they escalated things, problems on the ground, like weird decisions on the top. They played old tapes from the presidents of the time of them talking to McNamara, especially. Johnson trying to get out of that war, not sure what to do. It's really a fascinating thing. Well, this is the same sort of lens, but they just shifted up to the future. And now we're talking
Starting point is 01:24:51 to Rumsfeld, who was Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush during 9-11 and the subsequent war with Iraq and then everything else that happened during that time. And stuff that we're still dealing with now. It is not do any of this with white gloves. This is not a
Starting point is 01:25:07 oh, let's learn the history of a great man. And in the administration. That's not what this is. So if anyone thinks that's what this is, it's absolutely not what you're getting. But what you do get is a fair-minded discussion from him trying to explain what they did and why they did it and when they did it.
Starting point is 01:25:25 And you get to hear all the contradictions and you get to hear all of the, I mean, it turns out at the end of the day, Rumsfeld was like a really intelligent person, like really smart guy. But he started to see the world, at least my impression was he starts to see the world. world in this very um very black and white kind of way like America's great and you're not so we're going to make you better kind of attitude and and that's a problematic stance to have yeah um
Starting point is 01:25:56 but he but he says a lot of things that make a bunch of sense and then he says a lot of stuff that just plain doesn't make any sense and he also doesn't remember saying some things he used to say like he he basically during the documentary was like you know what I didn't know that you guys have us mixed up with the State Department. The State Department was all about the weapons of mass destruction. But from our perspective, we're just there to do whatever's next from the Commander and Chief. We are not interested in whether they existed or not. We're just following orders. But then they'd show like an old press conference where a reporter asked him about the weapons of mass destruction. And he goes off about how he's 100% sure they're there and why are we even asking
Starting point is 01:26:30 this question. He's complicit in that same what turned out to be bad intelligence, right? Like he was part of it. But he doesn't he doesn't acknowledge. that in the interview so some of that stuff you have to pull out of him it's just really well made and a chunk of history that's worth exploring and i love stuff like this like what gives me peace in this world sometimes is documentaries that really dig deep don't they aren't looking at raw raw side or everything's terrible side but just dig deep on what actually freaking is going on and really show it and by the end of this thing you have to ask yourself knowing what what went on yeah far more important. And you have to ask yourself, a guy like Rumsfeld, who doesn't need any of this,
Starting point is 01:27:14 you have to ask, why would he even agree to an interview with Errol Morris, who was known for this kind of exposure style documentary where he doesn't pull punches, where he doesn't let you just say a thing and then not follow up? Like, Errol Morris is known for this. And he did it with Fog of War. And Fog of War is almost the exact same kind of deconstruction of a late in life, member of an administration who had a lot to do with wars and everything else. So he knows this going in and there's this great thing. It doesn't spoil anything, but at the end, near the end of this documentary, Errol Morris asks him, because they get argumentative of times.
Starting point is 01:27:50 You get, you get Rumsfeld just kind of getting real defensive about certain things and all that. And they get to a point where Errol Morris says, I got one more question. Why did you agree to even do this? And Rumsfeld went, I don't know. he didn't know now that's ironic because the whole time there's this overarching theme of the known unknowns and the unknown known and the all this in the end he doesn't even know why he's there because he did so his reason did his reason death kind of prompt you to say oh I kind of want to see that that yeah as soon as he died I went I love that doc I see if I can find that and immediately was on Netflix I'm like oh sweet I'm going to watch this I recommend it to everybody who has any passing interest in history in good documentary filmmaking If Errol Morris, you know, all his movies are good. But this is definitely one of those to see.
Starting point is 01:28:46 So check it out. It's not, you know, there's going to be some people, and I see it in the chat already. There are going to be some people that just hate the idea of Rumsfeld or anyone involved with that war so badly that they're just going to outright dismiss it. F him, enjoy your time in hell. I understand that. And I get it. This documentary does not glorify Donald Rumsfeld.
Starting point is 01:29:08 It is an opportunity to look at the facts as they were. And if that's not interesting to people, I get it. You don't need to watch it. Like, don't watch it probably. But if you've got a mind for, you know, understanding and critical thinking and that sort of thing, give it a shot. It's interesting. And my biggest takeaway is, I don't know how any of these guys do this job. Like, I don't know why you'd ever take this job.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Because at some point, you're going to be in a position where you're going to probably have to tow the party line, the whatever line. the whatever line there is and you're going to be responsible for pressing a button that to you doesn't seem like much but on the other end of that button means massive loss of life insane structural changes to a place
Starting point is 01:29:51 that you don't live in simple ideas in your head that seem good but when you apply them to some other culture they just don't work like that job sucks and I can't imagine any human being wanting to be secretary of defense
Starting point is 01:30:06 or anything related to that or president for that matter. I don't know why any of you all want it. And this neither justifies Rumsfeld's position nor spends the whole movie demonizing it. It just lays it out. Just lays the facts out. Here's the timeline.
Starting point is 01:30:24 Here's when it happened. Here's his answer to that question. Well, here's what he said in the thing. And it's not narrated, by the way. I love documentaries where they don't have to narrate it and explain everything to me. It's just once in a while you hear Errol Morris say a thing, but very rarely, and you hear Rumsfeld answering it
Starting point is 01:30:38 or saying one of his memos over the top of some footage or whatever, the way the student integrates that with music and tone is so cool. He's just a great documentarian. So anyway, worth your time. Go check it out. It is called the known, or I'm sorry, known unknown.
Starting point is 01:30:57 I'm sorry, the unknown known. 2013. Nobody will have any problem remembering what that's gone. That's right. Um, all right. That's it for those. Yeah, it's really good. Um, thanks for listening to recommendals, everybody. And Nicole won't be tweeting that probably because she can't hear it, but all right. She usually catch up and get it on some lists. So, yeah, maybe I'll text her links and then she can just put it up on the feed when she gets a chance. Brian, that's a fine idea. Yeah, I like. Will I

And boy, this one's related to the California trip as well, because this one comes to us from Gary, from Batu, from the Black Spire Outpost out there in Batu. He says, Hey, S&B, somehow this year, I left my birthday, or let my birthday, July 12th, slip by without a song request. I've managed to ride this dirt clot around the local star 72 times in, as my doctor puts it pretty good shape for my age, quote, unquote. For some reason, I've had Bob Seeger's turn the page going through my head recently. If you know of a good acoustic cover, it seems like a good birthday tribute.
Starting point is 01:32:48 Anytime the next week is fine. Maybe on the 17th, Disneyland's 66th birthday and Scott's 52nd, if I remember correctly. See you in Batu next month, Gary, the evermore senior geek. Oh, man. At least someone's keeping track. I don't want to think about my next birthday, but... No kidding. Yeah, no, Gary, Gary got all of our dream jobs, I think,
Starting point is 01:33:10 and is now working on the Millennium Falcon in Batu. Didn't even know this was a dream job that we all had until it became a job, right? How cool is that? So, he wanted to hear a cover of Bob Seekers to turn the page. I don't have an acoustic cover. I mean, the original is very acoustic. But this one actually is kind of moody.
Starting point is 01:33:34 and melodic, which I really, really like. This is a group called Endless Blue from their 2013 album Undercover with a version of Bob Seeger's turn the page. East of Omaha You can listen to the engine Moaning is one long song You can think about the American The boy you knew the night before

Starting point is 01:36:51 Well there I go Turn the face Out there in the space Out there in the street by light, you're a million miles away every ounce of energy you try to give away and the sweat pours from your body
Starting point is 01:37:19 like the music that you play in there music that you play you play Evening as you lie, you'll wake in bed, echoes of the amplifiers ringing in your head, and you smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what he said, oh, it's what he said. On the road again Here I am I'm up on the stage Well here I go
Starting point is 01:38:17 We're playing the star again And there I go I turn the face Oh But here I am On the road again Here I am Up on the stage
