Starting point is 00:01:52 tonight. Just keep the bull who hit you and we'll do good. How is your duty? The morning's dream with Scott and Brian and a caveman. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. 721 21 21
Starting point is 00:02:30 2021 721 2021 It's starting to sound crazy Hey welcome back to the show Or to it for the first time I'm glad to have you here I'm Scott and that's Brian
Starting point is 00:02:43 Hi Brian Hi Scott Hi what's going on how are you I'm good man how you doing I'm all right I had a weird night woke up at two Because there was
Starting point is 00:02:54 Thunder and rain and was not expecting that last night. I don't know what, you know, but I guess the forecast was like very low chance of rain, but that was a very high chance because we had a ton of rain, a lot of wind. And it kept me up for like an hour and a half. So that was great. It was trying to sleep. And then Mother Nature came in and said,
Starting point is 00:03:15 and fart it on my face. And I went, ah, I can't sleep now. So, yeah, that sucked. I'm looking forward to when I get that, when we get that rain that you're experiencing now. Because you get it and then we get it. Yep. That's the way it works. Yep.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Unlike the mail, you always get it and then I get it. So I don't know why the mail can't get their crap straight. By the way, I also had a bit of a dream. Ooh, excellent. Let's put this thing to use. Yep, here we go. Brian's gift is already paying dividends here. Body parts.
Starting point is 00:03:43 So I had a dream where I came upon a public pool. And in the pool, we're floating hundreds, if not thousands, of severed body parts. Oh, my God. Yep. Legs, arms, heads. You know what? I'll send you the serial killers dream decoder box. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:04:03 That here and... Oh, good, good. Because I need to know when I'm going to act out, you know. I need to know when that's going to happen. Yeah, exactly. So I found... Sponsored by Dexter on Showtime. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:13 You're in a new season. Why not? So look at it. So I found a card. That's what the pool looked like, right? Yeah, it did kind of look like that, actually. It's called body parts. Let's see what it says.
Starting point is 00:04:24 The summation is, Parts represents aspects of your personal identity, and the clue to their meaning is the association you have with the specific body part. Yeah, but you're seeing all kinds of body parts. Oh, yeah, there was no one specific body part. And this doesn't go, well, it does try to explain this. So maybe it's all these things. So, for example, if your dream is about arms, this could represent your ability to reach out
Starting point is 00:04:49 to others. Hands suggest attention to detail, where legs indicate your ability to move forward. Feet are your foundation or what keeps you grounded. Also, they help you move forward, so I don't know why they, you know, whatever. Heads represent, or if they are a bunch of heads, and there were, there were heads in my pool. They represent your intellect and necks are the connection between your physical body and your mind. Blood is a symbol of your essence of life and muscles are your strength. Heart is, I never saw a heart, but hearts point to your relationship and bones, your support system.
Starting point is 00:05:20 It says this, if a body part is injured, something is preventing you from expressing the quality of represented by that specific body part. All right. If you dream of teeth, skin, hair, or nails, or other body parts that you shed, this suggests you need to go out, sorry, you need to let go and move on from some situation or mindset that is holding you back. Boink. Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Weird. So, now, that card, you're holding up right there. And I was about to say this, Kelly 138 in the chat room, said it as well. Maybe just looking at that card the other day, because you looked at that card when you opened up the box. maybe it was looking at that card that made you that put that thought into your mind that triggered the pool dream because the pool looked just like that card right that's a really good point why didn't i see for example in the small small handful that we went through why didn't this venus demilo lady show up right right why didn't uh let's see it's another one i found oh this lady i looked at and kind of regret it check this out chat hold on oh no look at this and regretted it yeah look at her face so this is Teeth falling out. Oh, geez.
Starting point is 00:06:27 I regret looking at that. She looks very distraught about that, too. Oh, she's very upset. Also, her teeth are in a circle somehow. But anyway. Yeah, well, we have them here handy when this comes up. And if we get a pattern of me seeing things that I've read in the cards, well, then that's a problem.
Starting point is 00:06:43 That means that I shouldn't look at the cards first. That means then we bring Wendy into the picture and say, all right, Wendy, it's, he's having the body part dream again. Yeah. We need professional help at that point. right well anyway uh i love having these handy because uh now now if i dream i feel like i at least have some show content that we can build around it that's that's what i like the most okay i got a couple emails we got to read these today before we get going with things all right full day we got
Starting point is 00:07:09 done away coming up ooh got lots of stuff done away tom Nicole everybody yep tadpooly feud today oh man yeah it's gonna be great oh i should get the phone thing up so it's ready don't call that though i'm not answering it you guys just having it up okay yeah it should also log into the game as soon as you get chance. Oh, yeah, I should do that too. I'm going to do that now. Well, anyways, so what was my point? Oh, I got this email. This is from our pal Tanner. Tanner Goodman. He's his last name. It's both his last name and he is a good man. And he wrote in to fill us in on a little something here. He says, hello, this is about the jury summons thing that you're going to probably have to deal with. And this is next week, is it? When is it? Do you? Yeah, I find out
Starting point is 00:07:52 Tuesday if I'm if I have to go there Wednesday. Okay. Okay. So not, we have time where possibly things could change or the court or, you know, whatever. Who knows? But he says this about your jury summons or about jury summons in general. Sorry, the tadpool thing popped up. All right, here we go. Hello. When I was in college, I forgot to go to jury duty. I called the courthouse and told them. They told me that I ended up not being selected anyway, so I wasn't in trouble. They also told me I was expunged from the selection process for some amount of time. I can't remember how long. Maybe that's what happened to you, Scott, your delinquent friend, Tanner Goodman. You got expunged possibly. Maybe I did. Maybe. I don't even know what that means.
Starting point is 00:08:35 That just means you're not considered. They don't put you on the list. Yeah, I think they just take you out of the pool. Okay. I thought maybe you meant that they'd have to expunge your record showing that you evaded jury duty. Oh, I see, man. I mean, like, you know, when you're just like, you know, you get your record expunged, they're removing your, your priors, your, you know, your
Starting point is 00:09:00 felonies, stuff like that. Sure. So getting expunged from the selection process means that you're the felony and you're getting expunged from the pool of available people. Have I ever told you? I had to have a misdemeanor expunged from my record from my youth. No. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:19 It was taken out. I don't mind talking about this. It was removed when I was 18. But when I was 16 or so, I could have sworn I told this story. But me and this girl, I really liked, like, liked her a lot. We're in a, her name was Jessica Moore. I can say her full name. Who cares?
Starting point is 00:09:38 She's married and got, you know, kids. Maybe Jessica Moore cares. I don't know. Maybe she does. But we were on the bus. And for some reason, the bus, so you know the bus, school bus has always had the, rubberized, the seating. always had to rubberize kind of edging around it like a round and that was to you know I guess
Starting point is 00:10:00 if you did get in a wreck so you could grip on it and yep because there were no like seat belts or anything on buses like that I don't think there still are I think it's just free for all whatever in there I don't know what a school bus looks like on the inside anymore I'd be really curious actually that makes me wonder because it's been a long time like junior high we're talking like oh my gosh what was that 803 four three it was a long time ago So, anyway, me and this girl, Jessica, who I just had the giantest crush on, but could never, I almost said penetrate, could never get, I could never get anywhere with her. She didn't like me in that way. Never closed the deal. I just wanted to go on a date with her. She just never would. She was never, she just, she liked me as a friend that was as good as it was ever. Yeah, you got friend zoned. Yeah, big time. So, I shouldn't have said penetrate. That's terrible. So she, so we're on the, we're on the bus this one day. And she's bored and I'm sitting next to her.
Starting point is 00:10:54 and she starts fiddling with just one of these foam things that's around the seat in front of her that's starting to fray a little bit, starting to come apart. And she's just fiddling with it, and it's starting to come loose more and some of the foams coming off. And so she starts picking at the foam and taking some of the foam off. And she got it down to the, you know, a thread where it was like, this thing's going to fall off. And so I'm like, cool. And I reached up and I grabbed it and I pulled it the rest of the way off and tore it off. Because you had a foam-mo?
Starting point is 00:11:25 Yeah. I literally had foam-mo because it's like a foam material. Anyway, so I pulled it off, and I start waving it around, and then her and I kind of have a little sword fight with it, just kind of back and forth, like, ha-ha, we're playing with this thing. Bus driver. Slams on the brakes. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Comes back there, screaming at us. Couldn't believe what we did. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Took us to the principal's office. Principal's office called, I don't know who. Anyway, at the end of the day, we got some kind of, a misdemeanor charge for damaging public property. Oh, sure, right. Yeah, because that's, uh, uh, even though it was already coming apart and
Starting point is 00:12:03 you just kind of helped it along the way. Yeah, and also she helped it mostly. I barely did anything. I got busted for it. It's like I got left holding the bag or whatever, but, uh, we both got in trouble for it. They decided that we needed to really learn this lesson. So they threw the book at us, whatever the full thing was. Wow. And, uh, I can't remember all the details, but I remember at 18 getting some paperwork saying you're you know you're this has been cleared or whatever so I I don't know it was a weird thing and I never I mean you'd think that having that between us we'd have we had that experience right a little common right it would be the the crime that brings you together I never it didn't do it I didn't do it man I know I know I'm
Starting point is 00:12:44 still a little sad about it right now actually maybe if they locked you guys up in uh confinement not solitary but I just dual confinement because yeah one of those what do they call those rooms? Like consummation rooms. What are they called in prison? Where you go? A conjugal visit. Conjugal visit.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Oh, a conjugal visit. Yeah, sure. Yeah, baby. There you go. Well, anyway, she's done fine for herself. She married a nice guy and had a bunch of kids and she's fine. She did fine. Good.
Starting point is 00:13:11 All right. Moving on to this one from Gwakmar. Gwakmar's in the chat, I believe, as well today. He says, Gwak Marr's lightning strike. So we asked for anyone else who had a lightning strike story. He says, hello. When I was in college, I, too, forgot to go to jury duty.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Oh, wait. Yeah, this doesn't have anything to do with Lightning, by the way. This got pasted twice. Hold on a second. How did I do that? Oh, it's the same email. I didn't even notice that. I read the, it's funny, I read the Tanner one.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Yeah, what I've done here, which is probably obvious, is I have double-pasted something. Sure, sure. Gwok. He spelled Gwokmar. Cut and paste and paste and paste and paste and paste. Gwakmar. How do you spell Gwachma? Yeah, with an L-G-W-A.
Starting point is 00:13:53 A-L-K. Oh, there it is. All right, we're finding it. All right. His lightning strike in 92, I just didn't paste it right. You know, you got to pay attention when you do this stuff. All right, here we go. He says this.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Dear Sourcrow and Bratz, the most lightning strike, sorry, like most lightning strike victims. Mine was more indirect electrocution than direct strike. Let me make sense of that. Excuse me. Summer of 1992. Remember that that was a great year. the summer of 92
Starting point is 00:14:25 I got my first real six it'd still be a six ring got my Nintendo 64 bought it at the five end dime Wait that's too early You'd have been a Yeah it's too early I know
Starting point is 00:14:38 You'd have gotten your SNess But my Nintendo virtual boy I don't remember what year that was All right Summer of 92 He's at Rose Holman Institute of Technology
Starting point is 00:14:53 in Tara-Hot, Indiana. Terahote, Indiana. For a high school summer school program, I was an upcoming senior in high school. It was lightly raining outside and I had gone downstairs to the dorm to the common room. Mystery Science Theater 3,000's Santa Claus versus the Martians. We've done that on film set out, by the way.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Yeah. I was on the TV and I sit down with my feet on the metal air conditioner until unit less than a couple of feet from the big metal door that separates the inside from the outside. Lightning struck outside the window, traveled through the AC unit, and up my leg, then bumped my side of, or bumped my side into the door. Jumped. Did I say bumped? I meant jumped. From my side into the door, like a giant stout. How do your eyes work? I just cannot. They're not great. They're not great. They're kind of garbage. I fall back out of the chair and my only notice of what happened was the other people in the
Starting point is 00:15:50 Commons asking if I was okay and if I saw the bolt of blue jump out of me. No other symptoms or burns. I was lucky. I now have a healthy respect for lightning now and for several years I would run and hide at the side of a storm. Not so much now. This doesn't even count the time I played chicken with a parking lot and lost. With a parked car and lost. See? Again, my brain, my eyes, they're not great. It says, we're falling off a 20 to 30 foot cliff onto my back. same year as the game of chicken. Or electrocuting myself at my previous job, frying chicken. Well, you can't not tell me more about chicken electrocution frying.
Starting point is 00:16:29 I know. I guess we need more, we need more chicken stories. Yeah, we're asking for more chicken stories. Will you give us more chicken stories? Because we'd love to hear. All right, Guacquemar, I'm glad you're okay, though, dude. I'm glad you're kidding. Yeah, no kidding.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Well, we got stories for eons from Guacamar that we can always pull from that well. When we start talking about electrocution from frying chicken or falling off cliff stories, then he can write in and tell us those stories right there. Yeah, fill us in. We'd love it. Hey, Brian, you saw a movie. What was it? I did. Went to the theater, so I can't use this as a recommendal. It's kind of surprising to me, though, that this one's not on HBO Max because it is a Max original.
Starting point is 00:17:09 It's produced by HBO Max. So kind of surprised that this one wasn't released day and date in theaters. um on streaming but uh the movie's called roadrunner and uh it's not about anthony bourdain thing is this is the anthony bourdain thing and um i've been i used to really hate well didn't used to really hate anthony bourdain i just didn't get anthony bourdain i guess yeah and uh then we started watching more of his shows and i i started to like him more than i like most cooking or travel television hosts. I think he's his sarcastic wit, I think was great.
Starting point is 00:17:58 His narration, he didn't feel like a guy who walked in and said, ah, I'm in Paris, France, and here's the lovely, you know, baguette vendor. He's like, he walks in and says, well, I'm in Paris. I guess the thing to do is have a baguette. So I'm going to go get a baguette. Yeah, it's good. just bread. It's street bread. It's a certain sour sarcasm to the man that
Starting point is 00:18:20 seems like he might be unpleasant in person but it works pretty well for his shows and stuff. And man, when you watch this documentary, which is great and it's one of these that we talked about this I think last week when you recommend old another documentary that it's not done with narration.
Starting point is 00:18:36 It's done purely with interviews and because this guy is a television host, there's so much content of his that is him talking that wasn't from a TV show, lots of behind-the-scenes stuff and lots of stuff where you're getting kind of the insight on who he was. And he, I really, really have, I had an appreciation for stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I've gotten even bigger, new appreciation for what he brought. And, man, the demons this guy had. I mean, he was a heroin addict for a while. That kind of carried through. and he was a little bit manic like his highs were really high his lows were really low and really he was more of a shy
Starting point is 00:19:23 kind of introvert than you'd ever guess from watching his show he you know it got worse and worse over the years but at times they'd stop filming and he would just kind of retreat to his hotel room and just kind of
Starting point is 00:19:39 have solitude he'd be in these gorgeous places around you know in these amazing parts of the world and he'd want to just kind of hide in his hotel room. Have you heard this controversy about the AI driven voice thing? I did. I'm glad I heard about it beforehand because
Starting point is 00:19:57 I was looking for it. I was thinking, all right, I wonder if I'm going to be able to tell where it is. And if it's what I think it is, then it's very, it was very obvious and it was used in what I consider to be the right way. One of his friends was
Starting point is 00:20:12 reading a note or reading an email that he had gotten from him. Yeah, email I thought, yeah. Yeah. And it went from being in his friend's voice to being in Anthony Bourdain's voice and the impact of hearing
Starting point is 00:20:29 what he said in his own quote unquote in his own voice was far more than you would have gotten if it was just the friend reading the email out loud. Right. But it does introduce interesting questions, right? It does.
Starting point is 00:20:44 first of all the show the movie the movie doesn't tell you that so you have to find out later and that that i think is problematic like you all you'd have to do is put a little subtitle that says uh you know red in a reconstruction of anthony burdine's voice or something and then people would go oh okay well that's what they're doing right now and then later that's not that and you create a distinction um but i also i could see the value in it for bringing some of this sort of written stuff to life in lots of ways like not just here but in lots of other examples but I think this is going to spark an ethics, at least an ethics debate about how to do it, how to handle it. Yeah, how it can be presented and how it can be legally prefaced so that you, so that nobody's getting fooled by something that isn't real. Right. You know, yeah, you have to do that work, I think, or else you're just asking for it. I think, I don't know, I feel like that would have taken, maybe taken me out of the movie if there was a little subtitled, but at the very beginning of the movie, maybe they say, you know, some
Starting point is 00:21:50 during the opening credits, some voices, or some of Anthony Bourdain's statements have been recreated from, I don't know, using deep fake technology. I don't know the way to word it, and that's probably why this is going to be such a
Starting point is 00:22:07 hot, hotly debated topic. It is hard to say, or it's hard to, but we don't have a language for it yet. We don't know what to call. Yeah, how do we, how do we, communicate it. I'm trying to find the line. I think there's probably recorded somewhere, right?
Starting point is 00:22:19 I don't want to hear it actually. Probably, yeah. Jedi 71 asked, did it sound fake? Could I tell which line was AI? No, but I only knew because he wouldn't, Anthony Bourdain wouldn't have said the exact thing that he said in an email to a recording or to an interview. Right. No, I could, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I mean, the thing is, like you knowing it goes. going in obviously made a difference but I wonder if somebody saw it and was like oh wow he's he's did his own he read some of his own emails before he's passing this amazing and then you find out later now that was all computer they had a computer do that you'd be like well what else did they have the computer do you know like I can see why this is a problem for people yeah yeah Tom Tom norm I think is pretty close he says traumatic voice reenactment I think like digital this movie contains digital recreations
Starting point is 00:23:16 of the subject's voices or something like that. Yeah, do that. Digital recreations of their written word or something like that. I was 100% fine with the fact that they did it. I do agree that if I hadn't have heard the controversy about it known to look for it, I don't know, maybe I would have
Starting point is 00:23:42 I would have said well wow you know he wrote this really deep heartfelt note to his friend but then he also said this to an interview you know it would change the it would change the context for me knowing not knowing that it was digitally recreated yeah yeah for sure well I'm very interested in seeing it we had kind of a similar thing happened with him because at first I found him kind of off pudding and then watched a bunch of his stuff and went oh no this is great This is beyond the normal travel slash food. This goes into like poetic places and really interesting a sort of ethereal places. Philosophical.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Yeah, exactly. Which is great. And he'll be missed for all that. For sure. It was his show, his episode about Japan that made us find that robot carnival thing, that robot. Which was one of our favorite things that we did on that trip. Yeah. See, you owe him a.
Starting point is 00:24:39 a piece of gratitude. Well, I do. Absolutely. Yes. Well, there you go. Mini review from Brian here on this one. A mini review. Roadrunner. In theaters now. I'm assuming on HBO Max very, very soon. It feels like this will be... And no spoilers, but I'll bet he gets that Wiley Coyote again. He does. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:52 You're in? Nope, you're not in yet. No, I'm working on it. I'm copy pasting me. Come on, I'm putting in my clipboards so somebody can steal it. Yeah, put it in your clipboard so someone can capture that and then use it on the dark web. Oh, there he is. Whereabouts is Concord, Kevin?
Starting point is 00:30:06 It's the Bay Area. Oh, okay, northern. Okay, cool. I don't know if I've been up there. Like, so by Fairfield and, uh, um, what else is up there? Okay. I might have been there, because I did a whole sweep up that side of the Bay area. Fairfield, uh, Vacaville, the Lajo.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Yeah, yeah, all those, uh, Contra Costa Times. Do you know that? Yes. Yes, I did the, okay, Contra Costa Times. Of course. Look, of course you did. This is all north of Oakland, I think, right? I had to use, there was a special code I had to use to get into the newspaper,
Starting point is 00:30:39 the Contra Costa code, and it was up down, up down, left, right. I see what you did there. That's good. That's good. I'm glad we're giving away video games today because it's in the theme. All right. Brian's finally in. Let me just test this buzzer.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Yeah, it totally works. Okay. Brian's now going to explain all this shite and how you're going to win and what it'll be that you'll win. That's right. It's time to play the tadpooly fuse. not the family feud. I've the Familia feud. I've surveyed the tadpole on some nerdy topics
Starting point is 00:31:09 and Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Kevin, 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'll get a prize package. That includes Hot Shot Racing and
Starting point is 00:31:25 Peeky Blinders Mastermind on Steam, courtesy of Wesley. Hot shot racing is awesome. So it's like back in the day, You remember, like, Virtua Racing and kind of these low-poly, but kind of, I don't know, 3D racing games, but they were like low polygon-looking stuff. This is like a love letter to that. It's like a brand-new game, but it's awesome. It's so well-made.
Starting point is 00:31:45 It's real, real good. You're going to love it. That's very cool. I'm even going to do something different for you because of the topic. I'll let you choose. After both guys have given their first dancers, I will let you choose which team you want to be on, which player you want to play with. because that might be a factor for this, for this game. You'll have to ask yourself,
Starting point is 00:32:07 do you want to work with the security expert from the South? You want to work with the moron in the West? Which one do you work? Look, look, I hardly ever log in anything anymore that doesn't have two factors. So I don't really usually store anything. No, you're not wrong to do that. It's actually smarter what you're doing. But, yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Maybe. All right, well, that sounds good. He can choose. I like choose. Choice is good. Yes. Yeah. Choice is always good.
Starting point is 00:32:33 All right, well, let's do this here. Hands on buzzards, buzzards. Put your hands on your buzzards. We asked 372 tadpoolers answered this one. Okay. And got their answer to this. What's your default mixed drink order at a bar? And if you're a non-drinker, what do you think you'd order if you drink?
Starting point is 00:32:58 Scott. Default mixed drink? um yes rum and coke rum and coke show me rum and coke number two answer wow that was pretty good answer will beat it I don't even drink
Starting point is 00:33:15 I just I know I have enough friends I know what I always go for but I'm I'm stupid I always get a you can never go wrong with a screw driver but I mean I don't know if I'm just a weirdo or what all right show me screwdriver Wow, see, that's what I figured.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Does he not even drink those anymore? Is he next to a drink? Screwdriver number 18 on the list. Nice. So there you go. So guy who picks a bad one or guy who never drinks. Yeah, that's your choice. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:33:46 That's why I'm giving you the choice, Kevin. Yeah, 1974 called. They want their drink back. Okay. Kevin, based on those reactions, who do you want to tie your wagon to here today? I still enjoy a good screwdriver too. so yeah Brian Good good
Starting point is 00:34:02 All right All right Sounds good I like it Okay Now that said Scott still has A possession of the board
Starting point is 00:34:10 He gets to give the next Answer until he gets a strike But Board position Keep in mind He's a non-drinker What does he know? Yeah I don't know Jack
Starting point is 00:34:17 Speaking of Jack Hey Jack and Coke Yeah All right let's do Um Oh gosh I mean it's still a mixed drink
Starting point is 00:34:29 Great, so let's be Pena Colada, maybe. Oh, that's a good one. See? It's more of a dessert drink. Scott knows some popular culture drinks. I don't know. If you like Pinyacoladas. Dang it's...
Starting point is 00:34:42 Really? Wow. On the list, but down at number 14. So close. Wow. So, Brian and Kevin, you guys have control of the board. I know that it likes a good gin and tonic. Is that going to be up there, you think?
Starting point is 00:35:00 That's what I should have said. Oh, yeah, I like that one. Yeah, gin and tonic. Let's get another old man drink. All right. Show me gin and tonic. Number one. Keeps the scurvy away with that.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Yes. By the way, do you love that every week we do a tabooly feud? We get like three emails of people saying we're scoring it wrong. I think that's always fun. Yeah. I like that. Exactly. That means we're scoring it right.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Yeah, it means it doing it right. I don't even understand the scoring because some weeks I think, Hot dog, I'm winning. And I'm like, no. The scoring, because we figured out that it's way more common for you guys to get those first answers initially on your control of the board. And because of that, you mathematically eliminate the other player really quickly. But the lower answers are harder to get. Those should be worth more points than the top one.
Starting point is 00:35:49 We do reverse scoring than the way Richard Dawson. We're doing the reverse Richard Dawson is what we're doing. That's a sex move I don't want to know about it. I will. The reverse Richard Dawson. The reverse Richard Dawson. What about a little kiss there? A little kiss.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Yeah, a little kiss. All right, it's on you guys. Actually, somebody did have a suggestion that I might employ soon, but I have to look at the email and figure out how to do it. Okay, anyway, Brian and Kevin, you guys still have control the board. Do you have something that's awesome? Because if not, I'm just going to, you know, I won't mind. my martini
Starting point is 00:36:28 well go ahead well yeah I'll think about an apple tini oh there you people like those are all the tini
Starting point is 00:36:35 is going to fall into the same category maybe I don't know Brian yeah we're gonna go with answer that we're gonna go with
Starting point is 00:36:41 we're gonna go with tini's all right go with tini show me any sort of teeny oh what come on are you serious you gotta be kidding me
Starting point is 00:36:52 that shocks me that shocked me martini and all assorted tini number 17 on the list 17e 17e 17e 17e 17e when I was 17e
Starting point is 00:37:05 All right Not super popular the the teenies Let's let's do a Oh I got one Let's do a peach schnops Ooh I don't even know what that is But let's do it
Starting point is 00:37:17 You pukeed on it No you didn't you puked on a A frozen peach drink But it wasn't peach snotts It wasn't alcoholic, right? I don't remember puking it. From Chi-Chi's, didn't you throw up all over that?
Starting point is 00:37:32 Back in the day, it was a, it was a virgin margarita and strawberry, no, strawberry daughery, that's what it was. And it was a nightmare. Oh, I can't believe you remember that story. It's an awful story. Oh, my gosh. All right, well, that's all right. We're on the, we're on the peach schnops.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Show me peach schnaps. Damn it. Yeah, technically it's a liquor. It's not a mixed drink. It's not mixed with anything. Yeah, yeah. Oh, really? Oh, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Except your face. Except your face. Except your liver tissue. That's the only thing. Right, exactly. All right. I didn't go to jail, J.C. Calhoun. Now, Scott just said,
Starting point is 00:38:11 Margarita, do you think that's up there? Do you think something else? That sounds drink, Nixie, doesn't it? Long Island iced tea. Yeah. Ooh, Long Island iced tea. Boy, that is a mixed drink from Harold. All right, listen, I'm going to go with Long Island
Starting point is 00:38:25 ice tea, I'm going to agree with that. All right. Show me the drink that mixes all the drinks. The Long Island ice tea. The most mix-eat. Oh, look at that. You got it. Number four on the board. Those dang Long Island alcoholics.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Yeah, that's basically if you just get to the bar and say, oh, I don't know which alcohol I'd like. Oh, I know. I'll have all of them. I just really want to get drunker really fast. Yeah. Yeah, I heard a story that it's like all the leftover, like in the bottle. Like, oh, this is almost done.
Starting point is 00:38:51 It's almost done. And it's thrown into one drink. Yeah. Yeah. It's probably how it can. got created. Yeah, it's gross. That's how I used to do the fountain machine at the 7-Eleven when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Right. Just going to go, joug-joo-go-joo. We called it swamp water, and it was amazing. Anyway, continue on. You guys are the winners right now. Continue. I prefer without tequila. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Thank you. Right. I think we're going to go with, do you think we should still go? How about margaritas now? How about now? Well, yeah, that's good with that. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:19 You don't sound as I was sure. We can do something else. We can get another one. I do have one more, I do have one more, I think. Irish car bomb? Irish car bomb? Is that a thing? Nice. Is that a thing? Claire, is that offensive
Starting point is 00:39:32 to hear about an Irish car bomb? I've never heard of that. That's amazing. I'm going to go with that. Yeah. Irish car bomb. I'm going to go with that. Yeah, absolutely. Show me an Irish car bomb. One person said that, but they actually even provided the recipe. Three quarters of a pint of Guinness,
Starting point is 00:39:53 three-quarter shot of Jamison, a quarter of shot of Bayleys, then you drop the shot glass into the Guinness, and then drink the entire glass before it all foams over your table. But it's one of those things, it's like if you drink Irish car bombs, you drink them, right?
Starting point is 00:40:08 Right, exactly, exactly. You forget about the important ingredient, 40 years of mistrust of the throne. You got to have that. Exactly. I've actually never had an Irish car bomb, and I don't know, when I get to Dublin, it probably isn't something I should order from the bar, right?
Starting point is 00:40:23 Yeah, don't ask for that one. I wouldn't, I mean, I don't know. Here, we just call them car bombs. They're not Irish here. I'm a Scottish bartender working in Dublin. That's just a diet sprite, you idiot. All right. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:40:38 I'm going to steal their thing they didn't use and say margarita. That's a very good idea. Show me margarita. Number three answer on the board. One of my favorites, too. So salty. Yeah, I like a virgin margarita. I'm very good.
Starting point is 00:40:51 I had a delicious one on Friday. I even tweeted a photo of it. Team and I both enjoyed a couple lovely margaritas from a very close restaurant. I remember that photo. All right, let's see if I can't pull this out here. Let's go with a tie game, by the way. Five points each. Take that people who think we score this wrong.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Yeah, no kidding. It's a real barn burner. I mean, I said rum and coke earlier, and then Brian said Jacking, Coke after I said, I don't know Jack. And now I'm wondering if maybe Jack and Coke is on there, because it's not the same as Roman Coke. So I'm going to say Jack and Coke. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Do you know what Jack is? It's Jack Daniels whiskey, right? Oh, whiskey. Here you go. All right. Show me Jack and Coke. Yep. Whiskey and Coke, Jack and Coke.
Starting point is 00:41:43 I'm not into whiskey. Okay. Yeah, I knew it was whiskey. All right. Let's do, uh, uh, uh, uh, see this is, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm running out. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:41:56 This is why this is such a fun topic for, I was really hoping you guys would come up with, or at least you scout, would come up with some weird combinations. Well, that's where I'm at. That's kind of where I'm at. That is exactly right.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Some pungon drink or something. Right. Exactly. A slippery pud. Let's go with a slippery pud. That's a drink. You really, you're really with you going on?
Starting point is 00:42:23 I don't know. I got nothing. I have nothing. All right. Show me a slippery pud. Oh, I'd be so mad. We're totally making that the official drink. Next time we do a TMS Vegas.
Starting point is 00:42:34 We're going to invent a drink at the Millennium Fandom called the Slippery Pud. And it's going to be the special that night. I mean, why not? They all have funny names like that. But that means I'm dead, right? They just can know. It means you're dead. Brian and Kevin have one more guess.
Starting point is 00:42:48 They need six or more points. So they need either answer 7, 8, 9, or 10, or any combination, including five, to win this one, pull it out. Well, I know, no risk. So I still, now I can just mention things because we don't have to worry about Scott stealing them. Things I was thinking about was like the Bloody Mary. Also, the dude, the dude, he loves the Russian, right, the white Russian. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Yeah, that's not bad. Yeah, which one was that? The mule. The Moscow Mule or... Moscow Mule, that's a good one. Let's go with the Moscow Mule, baby. All right. Okay, show me that Moscow Mule in a nice copper cup.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Number nine. Yes. Wow. Yeah. I've never even heard of that one. Yeah, it's vodka and ginger ale with the lime served in a copper cup because the copper helps... It gets colder than a glass. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:52 transmits the cold better, and apparently it claims to change the flavor of the drink. I love it. I like Moscow. You like a Moscow mule. All right. Well, I'm going to say Bloody Mary, so I said the third time, so I expect her to show up any time now. You're going to go to Bloody Mary. Fourth time. Show me that Bloody Mary. Oh, man. Where's Bloody Mary on the list?
Starting point is 00:44:17 I am such an old man drink mixer. Number 16 on the list, by the way, Bloody Mary. That's all right. You guys won. Let's see what those remaining answers were. A lot of Wisconsiners in the Tadpool, apparently, because number five is an old-fashioned. Gosh, wow. Muddled those cherries.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Brian, you mentioned this one earlier. Show me number seven. White Russian. The dude. The dude's favorite drink. Show me number eight. A whiskey sour. Gosh, dang it.
Starting point is 00:44:51 And finally. Yeah. Oh, what are you about to say, Kevin? Whiskey showers are good. It is. Yes, they are. Yeah, good answer. And then show me number 10.
Starting point is 00:45:01 A drink named after a city. Manhattan. Oh, the Manhattan. Who orders a Manhattan? Weirdos do. That's who. Weirdos do. Far fewer funny answers, but things like vodka cranberry, which is either a Cape Cod or a sea breeze,
Starting point is 00:45:17 depending on how you serve it. Amaretto sour, mohito, bourbon and Coke. or bourbon and ginger ale. Red Bull and vodka. Everybody loves that now. There were a few Red Bull and Vodkas. Lynchburg Lemonades. Sex on the beach.
Starting point is 00:45:32 I don't know what another Caucasian Gary. I don't know what that is, but somebody's about that. Another Caucasian Gary. Okay. Bundy and Coke, which apparently is Australian, Captain and Dr. Pepper, which somebody says, trust me, it's great.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Kola Vetson, which is Cola and Wheatbee. somebody thinks is good Let's see Somebody thinks that's good A Grateful Dead I don't even know if that's a drink Or somebody just read the question wrong Irish coffee
Starting point is 00:46:04 I love those A knickerbocker Which I'm gonna have to order The next time I go somewhere And finally a slow comfortable screw up against the wall Which is a combination of a slow gin Harvey wallbanger And a screwdriver
Starting point is 00:46:19 Wow Is that real Yes it's a real real that's real oh my lord all right uh i'm surprised that what was the other the one i oh i don't like the sex on the beach one because that sounds like a thing that has sand in it that you can't get out you know what i mean right the drink that puts sand in places that sand just shouldn't go yeah i don't like it i'm going full of uh Darth Vader on that all right uh well well done uh this is what that means winner winner chicken dinner you've won these two codes i think you should be proud of your work here
Starting point is 00:46:49 Kevin. Do you have anything to say about your win? I'm glad I want you so many bars. Yeah, me too, man. Look at you. It's all paid off finally. It all paid off in the end. Well done. Congratulations. It was great having you. Brian Dunn away. The same could be said of you. Having you here's a real treat. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's always fun. Yeah. I love it. I look forward to my Mondays and Missis with you guys. And the 30s too. Film Sack. Yeah, film sack and your upcoming podcast about password security. I'm looking forward to that one. That's going to be great. It's going to be great. Let us know when you have a name.
Starting point is 00:47:19 And we'll see you this weekend for Philipsack. Oh, I cut him out. By the way, yes, Miravini corrected me. Jack Daniels is a bourbon, not a whiskey. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, and I think bourbon is just aged in burnt barrels. Isn't that the deal? Chard barrels.
Starting point is 00:47:37 It's whiskey that's aged in charred barrels. But I think I maybe uses a different kind of mash. I can't remember the difference between. I used to know the difference between bourbon and whiskey. Do you like whiskey and bourbon? Are they on your list of things? No, I'm not a fan of bourbon and whiskey. That's more of a Randy.
Starting point is 00:47:55 That's a Randy deluxe thing for sure. He loves that. It totally is. I know he, but he's a Scotch guy. He loves Scotch. Oh, that's true. He's probably drinking it now, to be honest. For being honest, it's going down as gullet right now.
Starting point is 00:48:07 All right, we're going to take a break. And when we return, the triumphant weekly return of Tom Merritt, he'll be here to talk about some tech news and some other stuff. So looking forward to that greatly. Watch for that coming up here shortly before. that, though, a meaningful song selection from Brian Abbott. Ooh, meaningful. I like this. By the way, this song is brought to you by
Starting point is 00:48:27 Soundography. Brand new episode just went up on the feed yesterday. We had a special guest on Soundography. Lady Monica, Wicked Kitten 13, in the chat room. She made Hammond and I listen to an album that she loves tremendously.

Starting point is 00:55:14 I'm trying to think what a tennis system would be in actual tennis. I know. Tennis system. Well, you know, it's a total tennis system if you ask me. Yeah. I know this. It's a Unix system kind of deal. Yeah. Right, yes. That sounds right. All right, check this out, everybody.
Starting point is 00:55:30 With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is Tom Merritt. He joins us once again from his triumphant studio doesn't make sense in los angeles california and we're really happy to have them here to talk about some tech news tom welcome back to the show well thank you for having me back brian and scott scott and brian thanks man uh really good to have you here we uh we miss it when we don't we're not up
Starting point is 00:55:57 on tech news so when you come on here it kind of makes everything all right again we feel smarter once uh once you're done with us yeah hopefully you understand a little more that's that's the idea yeah it's your new podcast understand a little more Daily Tech News Understanding. It's a lot like Noah a little more, so maybe we need to work on that name. Daily Tech Understanding show, Deep Tuss. It's not bad. It sounds like a cough medicine.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Yeah, it kind of does. You're not wrong. Anyway, it's good to have you here, as always. I would assume that there's some sort of tech news percolating at the top of the day. What's going on? Oh, there's lots. Tumblr is going to let people subscribe to creators, stuff like that. But the thing that's got my eye right now is Netflix earnings report, and if you're not following this closely, depending on where you're look, you're going to think this was really bad or really good.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Because like a lot of earnings reports, the headlines always want to tilt you one way or another, and most earnings reports have a little good and a little bad. So the bad you're going to see is that Netflix lost 430,000 subscribers domestically. That's Canada and the U.S. and their earnings per share missed the mark so they were less profitable than people expected but I think the good might outweigh it their revenue came in a little above expectation so they brought in the money they expected
Starting point is 00:57:19 it just sounds like maybe their costs were a little higher than they expected and they added 1.54 million subscribers worldwide so when you count that they lost almost a half a million in North America that means they added two million in the rest of the world outside of Canada and the US. So they're doing good. They're doing what they want. This is not the best shining example of a Netflix earnings report, but what Netflix
Starting point is 00:57:46 knows it needs to do is expand in the rest of the world. And that's what it's doing. The fact that it dropped a bit domestically, I think was expected. I don't think they're shocked by that, especially because they've had to raise their prices in Canada and the U.S. They had a huge increase during lockdowns, and now the lockdowns are easing, especially in the United States. More people are going out to do other things and thinking, well, maybe I don't need that Netflix subscription anymore. So none of this is surprising. The big surprise for people, if you hadn't heard the rumors percolating for the last couple of weeks, is that Netflix is getting into gaming. Yeah. Yeah, that seems to be. So what my big takeaway from all of this is that for the loss of
Starting point is 00:58:32 subscribership, it really probably has not much to do with any one competitor, as much as it has to do with the factors you already mentioned about, you know, easing of lockdowns, people unsubscribing, price increases and everything else. But maybe just the combined effect of all of those new competitors, all kind of happening, not all at once, but in pretty quick succession. Max, Disney Plus, Peacock, everybody else in their dog, getting a streaming service. That has to erode your base a little, right? Yeah, my dog Ray's streaming service really, you know, took a bite out of Memphis. Yeah, my dog's
Starting point is 00:59:07 streaming service sucks. But anyway, what I was going to say also is the gaming thing. So this is really interesting because I actually think that this maybe puts them potentially in a position to be the biggest competitor if they're going to go after what I think they're going to
Starting point is 00:59:24 go after, which is, you know, mainstream big name games, things like Destiny and Fortnite and all the normals that you see everywhere on stadia and everything else but in a more of a Netflix program which means you're going to pay maybe a little more per month or maybe not at all and then you're going to have access to these games they're going to be streamed content the way XCloud and Stadia and others are doing and if they do it right given their base this could make them like the only real you know at least
Starting point is 00:59:53 one of the bigger competitors in the space because they're Netflix so I actually think there's a lot to this and it could work out really well for them it's funny because I remember a time when back before streaming uh when they were doing dvds by mail they tried doing the gaming thing then and they would send you games of you mail and then that split off into gamefly or like it got no so they were doing they they were trying to compete with game fly they were trying to yeah and then they did it for like a hot second and then stopped it entirely and right okay so that that service didn't go off and become something else it was just they just quit you're right Brian, that they sold it, but I don't
Starting point is 01:00:31 think it ever turned it to anything. They may have even sold it to Gamefly and just Maybe. Maybe. It's possible. It lasted seriously like a hot minute. It was so short. And it made me think, all right, well, that's it for them. They're never going to do anything in games. But nobody per saw streaming in the way that we're seeing
Starting point is 01:00:47 it now. Nobody thought that would be a thing. Ironically, well, not ironically. They use Amazon, I think, for all their back end. So it's Amazon AWS for for Netflix, I believe, not Azure. So in a real way, this is Microsoft's, this would be Microsoft's biggest competition to streaming game space as compared to XCloud compared to everybody else. Because, I mean, Stadia is interesting, but Stadia's got problems.
Starting point is 01:01:12 And the biggest problem Stadia has is, I got to pay $59 for a game. I may already own somewhere else, and I can only play it on Stadia, and it's the only way to play it. And Xbox has got other ideas. If Netflix does this right, they could bring it into that kind of parody with what Xbox is offering and enough third-party development supports it, it could be a big deal, because that's a lot of people. Just sync a controller of your Netflix account and bam, you're playing. Like, it's a big deal. I don't know if I'm over-hyping it or if I'm over-expecting what could
Starting point is 01:01:43 happen here, but they just have to play their cards right. The problem is they don't have a track record worth mentioning in games. So, you know, who knows? This is all new territory. So here's a quote from the shareholder letter. We view gaming. as another new content category for us, similar to our expansion into original films, animation, and unscripted TV. Games will be included in members' Netflix subscription at no additional cost,
Starting point is 01:02:08 similar to films and series. Initially, we'll be primarily focused on games for mobile devices. They also said they don't expect these to be profit pools for them. Here's my theory based on that. Because none of that directly contradicts
Starting point is 01:02:23 what you're saying, Scott. That just means, like, we're going to start with mobile. We're going to start by not charging you, but it could absolutely grow into what you're talking about from there. I think, though, that because I've always been impressed by the fact that Netflix is always one step ahead. When everybody thinks, well, the obvious next step is this. Netflix is like, no, the obvious next step is streaming. No, the obvious next step is original content. And everybody's like, really? You're going to do streaming? Really? You're going to try to make your own shows? I think Netflix realizes that the value
Starting point is 01:02:57 is intellectual property. The value is franchises. That's what Disney has with Marvel. That's what Disney has with Star Wars. That's what every company has and is trying to mine right now is, you know, Viacom, CBS, we've got Star Trek. Netflix needs to create those. Just like they had to create original programming altogether to stay ahead of the decline of access into acquiring programs or mother, they need to create intellectual property.
Starting point is 01:03:25 And one of the ways you do that is podcasts. merchandise and games. And they've just added all three. They've doubled down on consumer merchandise and they're going to increase what they're doing and increase their partnerships. They just hired someone to run podcasts for Netflix and now they've hired someone to run mobile games. I think this is a play not to create a competitor to a Stadia or an X cloud, but merely to expand franchises. Bridgerton, Stranger Things, and others that are yet to come. come that we haven't seen yet.
Starting point is 01:03:59 I cannot wait for the Bridgeton mini-game sex game they're going to have. It's going to be fantastic. Count on it. It won't be called that, but that'll be what it is. It probably will. It'll be a sim builder. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:15 Just put them in a room, blurred out. Everything will be fine. So I also was, so I was reading in that letter they sent to shareholders. They basically said that they're more concerned about Fortnite than they are anything else. in the heading of that for a while that's true under the heading of competition the streaming service states we earn consumer screen time both mobile and television away from a very broad set of competitors we compete and lose to fortnight more than HBO that's quite the statement to make and i think points to what you're saying which is they may not do what we think is obvious uh they have also said in the past i think reed hastings said in the past it might have been serendos uh we compete with sleep yeah like They just, they just, they look at different things than people think they're looking at, right?
Starting point is 01:05:02 Right. They don't look at Peacock and HBO. They look at like, what takes up people's time? Well, sleep, Fortnite. You know, Fortnite also competes directly with sleep. And Netflix wants to be in that battle, that growth. So, so yeah, if they can create an intellectual property, a game either based on an existing franchise or the game becomes the franchise and they spin out content from that, then that's the that's the big win that's the big move yeah well we'll see what happens
Starting point is 01:05:31 I'm I'm more curious about this than I am most of these sorts of stories just because there's a lot of people a lot of money a lot of big profile stuff now it's not the Netflix of you know DVDs in your mail anymore it's a different realm and I you know but I just I remember back you know on Buzz Out Loud hearing all the people in the audience like streaming nobody's got enough bandwidth for that they'll never get the rights to enough shows. It'll never work. It won't work. Yeah. Here it is working. Yeah. Here it is overworking.
Starting point is 01:06:00 All right. Well, awesome. This and more will be discussed today on the Daily Tech News show. I'll be there today because that's my day. Wednesdays is the best days. Yep. So I'll be there a little bit later. I'm very excited about that. Tom, anything else going on in your world you'd like to mention to the fine folks at home. Well, indeed, Scott Johnson just made some stellar album art for my new audiobook Project Vera. So stay tuned and find out when it will drop on Audible. Project Vira is a story about a woman who gets swept up accidentally into being involved with a secret society who has directed the course of world events for centuries. And if you'd like to hear the audiobook and see the amazing album art that Scott made,
Starting point is 01:06:46 you'll need to either go to Audible when it's out, or you can get a sneak peek right now at my writer's Patreon. Patreon.com slash ace detect. Very, very nice. Yeah, do check it out of you guys. I had a really fun time making that. I've done this a couple of times for Tom. Good, man.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Thank you for doing that. That's awesome. Happy to do it. Tom Merritt, everybody. You know him as Ace Detect, so find him there on Twitter. Tom, we'll see you next time. Bye now. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Cool. Tom has left. Tom has left the building. Nicole's not going to be happy with me today. Oh, no. Why? I think I have her recommendal. I think.
Starting point is 01:07:23 I'm not sure. You know, about time you do it to her instead of me. Yeah, it can't be you every time, right? No, exactly. Let's play the, let's play her thing here. Where is it? Oh, Nicole, my sweet Nicko. Nicole Spagg joins us, as she does every Wednesday to do recommendals.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Nicole, welcome back to the show. How are you? Hey, is this working? I think so. You're on a room, Mike, but. Oh, damn. Yeah. You don't sound terrible, though.
Starting point is 01:07:53 You sound okay. It's not horrible. Mark upgraded my computer. Yeah. I do like the film noir light on your face, though. That's cool. Oh, yeah, that is cool. She was a recommendal day, and she walked into my office like she needed something.
Starting point is 01:08:07 It was a dark, damp day in the middle of Colorado that day. And that day walked in. I need some music that's good for that. Is that better? That's even better. All right. Is that better? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Say something again? Something? Yeah, it's better. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you're fine. I mean, it was fine before. It was just room mic, but...
Starting point is 01:08:27 I don't want to be on the room mic. No. No. No. No. Nobody doesn't. Hey, welcome back from California. Yeah, how was your trip?
Starting point is 01:08:33 Thank you. No jealous looking all your photos from, from Disneyland that I just had to make my own plans. You're going to love it. We got in a car, drove for two days with the kids, went to Disney, and then did what I wanted to do, which was just be on the beach. Yeah. I haven't been to the beach in forever. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:58 That's my idea of a good time. And so we were in La Jolla. La Jolla. Did you get yourself some In-N-Out burger while you're out there? No, because I knew what would happen because it would go out. Oh, gotcha. Right. It would go in and out.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Yeah. Plus, it's not the big secret it is anymore, right? You guys have one out there. It's fine. We have a few out here now, actually. Yeah, we have a few. But the lines are like an hour long, and people, I'm like, I don't care about it in an hour. It's a burger.
Starting point is 01:09:28 It's good, but it's not an hour wait good. If you've got a Freddy's anywhere near you, then that's just fine. You know, I finally got through that Raising Cain's Place. We finally got in there. Oh, yeah, the chicken place. That's really good because they got that crazy sauce, man. What the heck? Yes.
Starting point is 01:09:46 That sauce is good. It's amazing. It grew on me. I didn't like it at first. Yeah, it's almost like a little, it's like a little sour. almost like you're like I don't know yeah like a like a tartar ranch kind of thing without pickle chunks in it yeah my daughter goes this tastes like a little like vomit and I'm like no stop yeah Taylor told me that at the time oh oh oh hey I love that mug it's all right
Starting point is 01:10:13 yeah that's one of my favorites that we ever did we got to make more of those uh well all right we're going to get to it Nicole I'll probably hose you today I don't know I think we have the same recommendal. Yesterday, Jemaine Clement replied and quote tweeted me yesterday because I had a question about the show I'm watching. Yeah, that's the one you replied to. And so. Oh, okay. Yeah. So he, so he sees my tweet because I had asked for confirmation that these two characters from the show I'm going to do today were either from the movie or were they already existing and then were shown in the movie and then had their own show. Like what was the origin of these characters? And the origin was the movie.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Oh, I can't wait to find out what this is. I don't know. I did it the lazy way. I actually bought the movie just so I could watch it to like verify. To verify. Well, I already own it. So I guess I technically did that too.
Starting point is 01:11:06 But yeah, it's a long story. We'll get to all that. But I think Nicole and I share a recommendal today is what's going to happen. Yeah, we are. We are. But in the meantime, Brian, you've got a little something on. We got two of these. I've got two.
Starting point is 01:11:19 And I know neither of you have picked this. especially first one, which is the science fiction film from 2019 that nobody has ever heard of, yet has a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And you're going to hear a clip from that right now. I'm excited about whatever this is. Here we go. It was better than an airplane, but no one was allowed to see it. And there were guards around it all day.
Starting point is 01:11:44 What it looked like? It was mostly smooth, but it looked broken or damaged because there were some rough patches. You think it was American? There was no way to know. You don't ask anything like that. We want to know just like anybody wants to know about something. But you trust your superiors, and you follow orders. But this one...
Starting point is 01:12:08 Worryed me. And why's that? Probably, because it was so secretive. So what happened next? Well, we built the ceiling over this thing. carefully, and then when they were done with us, staff got us all boarded on the plane, when
Starting point is 01:12:27 the propellas had started spinning and we were about to take off and the radio started playing the sound. What sound? The same sound you just played tonight. No idea. All right, this is a movie called The Vast of Night.
Starting point is 01:12:46 And it's on Amazon Prime. This is 1950s, Cuyahuea, New Mexico. And the entire town, or most of the town, is at the high school for a big basketball game. But a couple of people who aren't working in there are the teenage disc jockey Everett, who you just heard there in that clip interviewing someone who knows about what might be going on, as well as... It's Bruce Davis, right? Bruce Davis. Or Morgan Freeman a little bit.
Starting point is 01:13:17 I don't know. There's nobody in this that I have ever seen in anything before. like there is this is a these are all new actors his name is Bruce Davis just for the record I don't know what he's been in before okay yeah I'm sure who he is there you go um and then there's also a switchboard operator that is also not at the basketball game they hear this weird noise coming through a phone line she sends it over to her friend the uh the disc jockey and they they that along with some other weird things that are going on in the town point to some sort of of weird supernatural slash alien event. This is what's great about this movie, and I won't say a whole lot more than that, because there is a big mystery that surrounds it. What's great about this movie is how they're able to convey this feeling of suspense and science fiction without overtly having aliens running around or spaceships or
Starting point is 01:14:18 or things like that. I won't say what you do get as far as a payoff, but you do get a payoff, but so much of the film is them finding out all this information. It's just really, really well done. It's called The Vast of Night. Jake Horowitz is the disc jockey and Sierra McCormick, who I guess has been in some, let's see,
Starting point is 01:14:48 She was on Supernatural. She played Lilith. Oh, that's why she's familiar. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But the whole 1950s vibe, this, my description would be like Super 8 meets, um, that one really weird episode.
Starting point is 01:15:05 That's what it is. She's on curb your enthusiasm. She's, what's our name's daughter. Oh. Uh, the, the teenage daughter that's, that, uh, you just talked about him yesterday. Again, they gave anyone's name today. Jeff Garland's, uh, teenage daughter. Yes. That's her. I knew that's why she looked familiar. That was it. Anyway, it's like Super 8 meets that one really weird episode of the Twin Peaks most recent season.
Starting point is 01:15:28 So I remember hearing about this a year ago or something. Somebody like I-O-9 was raving about it going, this is the movie you're going to want to see. And then I completely forgot it existed. Yeah. I wrote it down and finally, she and I said, oh, let's, you know, let's watch this. It's been on our list forever. And I'm glad we did. It is so clever and well. done that um and so unexpected for something again that is has a budget of seven hundred thousand dollars and uh is is one of the most recent like one of the best science fiction things i've seen recently remember that time travel movie that you like a lot that seemed like primer yeah primer it's like that kind of that's another good comparison super eight meets primer yeah really low budget but still takes advantage of that low budget to make it feel more real and more suspenseful. That's weird is the director, Andrew Patterson, is uncredited. Why? It's his only
Starting point is 01:16:22 movie. Oh, really? He's uncredited in here. Yeah. Isn't that weird? Oh, that's very interesting. I don't know why that would be. It's really weird. And the only picture of him is, he's looking all like, I don't know. I don't know what he looks like. Ron Moore looking. He's got a beard so big, his whole head lost in it. He has like five sentences about him on Wikipedia, and that's it. Yeah, weird. He financed this movie himself. He wrote the script under the pseudonym James Montague. It got rejected by 18 film festivals, finally premiered at the 2019 Slam Dance Film Festival, where it won Best Narrative Feature Audience Award. And a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Very nice. All right. This would have been on my radar anyway, but I completely forgot, so I'm glad to hear it somewhere. Oh, Amazon bought it up, and it's an original now. Amazon bought it now. Here's a great. Here's the last thing on his Wikipedia. He has since made an as yet untitled film, a revenge thriller set in the honeybee industry. What? Really? A revenge thriller set in the honeybee industry.
Starting point is 01:17:25 I'm actually interested in that. That sounds like right. Wow. All right. All right. Let's get to my second one. This is a series. And I think I've probably recommended, recommended other seasons, previous seasons in this series.
Starting point is 01:17:41 But this will be my last chance to. recommendal this series. All right, here you go. Where were you last night? Over did a little. Too much to drink. Fell asleep early. You missed him in a vein.
Starting point is 01:17:58 Thanks for covering for me. Forget it. Oh, that's big. I owe you. I'll sweat. A little shorthandage. He managed. Lost a crucial witness who was a probable target,
Starting point is 01:18:09 but, hey, we'll figure it out. Or not? I said I was sorry. What's up with you, man? What? Last few months, you're a fucking mope. Excuse me? A mope? Ever since what went down, went down? Off your game, big time.
Starting point is 01:18:28 Fuck you, man. Look, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Still talking to the shrink? For what is worth. Well, did she help her? She helped you? I didn't need help. Neither do I. No idea.
Starting point is 01:18:45 That is Bosch. You're hearing there. Titus Welliver and his partner, Jerry Edgar, played by Jamie Hector. How long has this show been on? It's been on for a while. Seven seasons. This is the final season, just dropped on, also on Amazon Prime. And, yeah, the first season was, what, 2013, I think, 2014.
Starting point is 01:19:09 Something like that. Oh, no, here we go. It's 2015. so it's um okay uh it was a good year only six six years uh yes it was a good year we won't say why yeah we won't say why but we know why we know why we know why anyway this is a great capper for what was an amazing series uh bosh um bosh is one of these guys he's a man by the book uh la detective and um so much so that you know when partners or other cops to cut corners or do things differently, uh, he calls them out. And, um, I have, I almost want to have like a picture of Titus Wilver as Bosch somewhere in my office to, uh, constantly remind me to straighten up and fly right. Because it feels like that's what if I, if I'm like, oh, maybe I can play a quick game or World of Warcraft or something, Brian, straighten up and fly right. I'm actually excited because
Starting point is 01:20:06 that means I've got like five seasons to catch up on. Oh, wow. Okay. I didn't, I didn't fall off because I didn't like it. I finished two and then was like stoked for three and then just never have gotten to it. So yeah, this is great. I can't wait to get back to it. It's, it's so great. He's such a, it's a deep character. His daughter, um, makes a bigger, uh, has a bigger role in this final season. As it does Mimi Rogers, who plays a, uh, an attorney that he butts heads with quite a bit, um, or prosecutor that he butts heads with, uh, quite a bit. Um, it's, It's great. It's 10 episodes per season, I believe, seven seasons.
Starting point is 01:20:46 If you've never watched it, you're in for a treat. Lance Reddick is probably one of the best things about this. You know, Lance Reddick in his delivery of... He's so good, man. First of my first time I saw that he did was on Lost. Yeah. And then fringe, I think. Everything he's on.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Everything he's in. He's fantastic. Yeah, I love that guy. Boy, he also very prominent in this final season. It's great stuff. So yeah, that's called, it's called Bosch. It's also on Amazon Prime, all seven seasons, get to it, watch it, and enjoy it. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 01:21:23 I like it, that show a lot. Now, I'm going to play a clip that may get Nicole and I started on a conversation. All right. Okay. So here's mine. Can you get my audio one? Oh, do you have a different one than I have? What do you have?
Starting point is 01:21:35 I sent it to you through Discord. Oh, I'm going to start trying to make my own clips. Oh, all right. Oh, cool. Yeah, I'll play, uh, well, here, let me... This is my favorite clip of the show. All right, let's play it. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:21:48 I may have a volume issue, hold on. I want you to go and stake out this farm. It's definitely something sinister going on in the country. Okay, so we go back to that farm. Hmm. Okay. And what are we looking for specifically? I want you to look for changes in the vegetation.
Starting point is 01:22:03 I want you look for UFOs. Definitely, let me know if you see an alien. Oh, yeah, we'd definitely let you know if you saw an alien, sir. I've got a question Yes If we identify a UFO Does that just mean it's an FO What a
Starting point is 01:22:17 What a UFO UFO I think he wants us to go All right Let me play this one too So here's we got double clips today Here's another one Okay
Starting point is 01:22:30 Can I call my parents She's just got a normal voice I thought you said she had some kind of demonic man's voice. What she did before? Can I go home now? She just seems like a normal teenage girl. This is not a case for the paranormal unit at all.
Starting point is 01:22:49 I had a whole speech plan and everything. What am I going to do now? All right. Wow, I don't know what this is, but it sounds funny. And what? Is that New Zealand? Very much so. Yep, New Zealand.
Starting point is 01:23:01 Yep. So the show is called Wellington paranormal. Now, if Wellington, New Zealand sounds familiar to you, that would be because the town that what we do in the shadows, the movie. Oh, okay. So it really is connected to that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:15 That's amazing. And those are those two cops that show up in the movie to find out what happened to Peter when you got burned. Right. Okay. And they're oblivious and they're just kind of like, oh, you really should be careful there. And they're just as oblivious here, if not more so. It's the same two actors too.
Starting point is 01:23:33 So it's, I forgot the name of their names in it, officer or something. So it's, no. which is the dude that was the guy that was asking about if we identify UFO is it just called an FO
Starting point is 01:23:46 that was him and then Officer O'Leary Yeah The lady, she's awesome She's so good They reference X-Files So much I love it
Starting point is 01:23:55 Yeah it seemed like a Kiwi X-Files Yeah So this was this was created Well this is more More on the Germain Clement side of things Than Taika Wati
Starting point is 01:24:07 But still kind of They're the source of both these characters. And that's why yesterday I was so freaking thrilled because I just put out this question saying where the characters, what I thought they were, which is from the movie first, or is there some other use of them before this or what?
Starting point is 01:24:21 And Tyco, or sorry, Jermaine Clement did a, did a quote tweet of my tweet and said, yes, they are from the movie, which was kind of a cool thing to see yesterday because I really like that guy. But yeah, they're those bummeling cops. And they're at it again. And like Nicole says,
Starting point is 01:24:37 it's like a send-up of X-Files, whereas, you know, all the, all the vampire tropes and stuff are for that, you know, for what we do in the shadows. This is, this is really focused on all kinds of paranormal activity, and they really play to those strengths. But it's also like another documentary fakery kind of thing going on, the way it's filmed and stuff. Have you, have you watched the three episodes that are on HBO Max right now? I am caught up with two. I've got a third to watch and then I guess another one drops this week, I think. No, there's only three out right now. now on HBO Max. There's three seasons. I've been waiting three years. Oh, really? Yeah,
Starting point is 01:25:12 this is what I'm saying. It's super annoying. It's super annoying because for whatever reason, they're piecemealing it as if it's brand new, but they're out in New Zealand. You can just wow, okay. See them there's three seasons. You can all, if you have Hulu live TV, you can watch this via that, or you could watch the three episodes that are currently on HBO. There's going to be more, of course, but the last one is a ghost episode. It's awesome.
Starting point is 01:25:41 It's so awesome. I loved it so much. Yeah. So far, they're hilarious and I can't wait for more. It's very, very good, this show.
Starting point is 01:25:48 Yeah. The clip that I provided with the FOs was alien crop circles on that one. The first episode's a demonic possession kind of thing. It's called Wellington Paranormal. Mm-hmm. And it's awesome. So.
Starting point is 01:26:06 Yep. So if you like what we do in the shadows, you'll love this. It's a little, I mean, it is different enough to set itself apart, I think. It doesn't just feel like a direct, you know, spinoff. They've got their own ideas here. And it's great. I'm enjoying it. What's funny about these shows, so the spinoff of what we do in the Shadows series,
Starting point is 01:26:27 I like that way more than the movie. And I feel like I'm enjoying, I'm enjoying the show spinoffs of that movie more than the actual movie because I rewatched the movie because I wanted to see those two characters in the original movie. And I forgot how gory and graphic the original movie is. Yeah, oh yeah, it totally is. Like they do it for laughs, but it's meant to be shocking. I don't know. I think the series does that too, though.
Starting point is 01:26:59 The series is pretty gross. No, I don't know. there's not I don't I think you got to go watch some of those over again because that first season there is some stuff in there man and they definitely swear more than the movie does but I get your I get your point like this the spinoffs have given them room to breathe and not just cram everything into two hours I still think it's my second favorite movie of 2015 I love that movie but but it's uh but you're not wrong like these are really great and I hope they keep doing this kind of stuff I know season three of of shadows is coming soon I hope. Yeah. It's being, it's in production. I don't know what the date is though, but.
Starting point is 01:27:38 There was supposed to be a, a werewolf spin-off, too. Oh, right. Germain and Brett's manager. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ben meeting. Rees. Rees Dave, Davy. Davies.
Starting point is 01:27:51 Dave, rise, whatever it is. Yeah, I don't know what happened to that. That was it going to be a movie movie. I don't know. Was it going to be a movie? I thought it was going to be a series. Well, originally movie. It seems like they do better with the series.
Starting point is 01:28:01 Maybe it changed because there's only been the one movie. But yeah, I don't know. I just think they should keep making them and those guys are hilarious. And I hope they, you know, as much as Taika Watiti is firmly in Hollywood land now, I hope he keeps fiddling in that stuff because I love their smaller things. I think that stuff's great. All right. Did I send you one in the chat says, friends told me the movie was straight up bad?
Starting point is 01:28:27 That's incorrect. It's not straight up bad. I thought it was good. Oh, listen, those friends anymore. That's an insane thing for someone to say. That's an amazing film. You should go watch it. It's in my top three Tycho.
Starting point is 01:28:37 It's silly. Yeah. And it's such a silly take on vampires. And I just loved it. It was different. There's nothing you can say. Nothing anyone could say to me that would change my mind on any of these. They are all amazing.
Starting point is 01:28:54 And it's some of my favorite. I guess if you're a hardcore, like vampire, like, you know, Bram Stoker, drag. Dracula fan, you're not going to enjoy it. Like, right? No, I just, I like Bram Stroker. That's cool. Bram Stoker is some of the best Dracula.
Starting point is 01:29:15 I'm sure those people won't be bothered by that at all. Those hardcore Bram Stoker fans are going to. Stoker. Bram Stoker. Brom Stoker. No, R. Stoker. Stoker, like Stoker.
Starting point is 01:29:29 You know, like Stoker, I'm a real mean toker. Stoker. Okay. Well, all right. These are all good ideas. Go spend your time watching these three things that we've discussed today and do it with glee in your heart because they're all good. Nicole will track this stuff and put it in her Twitter account as well. So if you follow her at Nicole Spag, you'll find all of that. That's where it'll be. Nicole, anything else you want to? Stop it. Make it fun of me. I just like the fact that somebody said that Brom Stoker actually wrote Count Jacula. That probably exists. I don't want to know. It probably does.
Starting point is 01:30:08 It probably exists. Rule 34 in effect. All right. Nicole, welcome back from California. You know what I was saying. Yeah, we knew what you meant. Of course, we always know what you're trying to say.
Starting point is 01:30:19 Yeah. We just love the way you say it. For every Cheeto and every, you know, we always know. Nicole's back, everybody. Have a great one. We'll see you next time. Bye now. All right.
Starting point is 01:30:30 Yeah. It's very good. Stroker. Some of my favorite things. Yeah, that's good stuff. All right, that is it for that. Let's move on down the road here. I do want to play a mashup.
Starting point is 01:30:41 I didn't write it in here, but... Oh, cool. Jamie made one of me playing cooking simulator. I don't know if this is going to be any good. I'm nervous about it. Oh, did you grab the new one of those, by the way? He said that he put up a new one that fixed a couple things, and it has the word new in it. I think so.
Starting point is 01:30:55 Let me check. Check the title if it has the word new. It says Oh I don't have anything that says a new Oh really? Yeah, let's see here Yeah, nothing says new
Starting point is 01:31:14 In the drop box Let me double check what he He's got three things from yesterday Let's see here Can you make sure Scott pulls the most recent version I added new to the file name to differentiate them? I have one that's the new health and fitness section, but I think that doesn't, that was on June 13. You don't have one that says, has new in parentheses at the end of the file name in Dropbox?
Starting point is 01:31:42 Nope, I have an S-P-T-T-W-S-S-S. Yeah, I don't know. Okay. Is he in here, Jamie? You in the chat? Clear it up, Jamie. Jamie. Jamie, clear it up.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Jamie. I don't know what's going on. Well, all right, I guess I'll just play this one then. So this is me playing the, no, dropbox is definitely not positive. I got all of Brian's stuff today too. It's showing the stuff you posted yesterday, so I have the latest. I don't know what happened. But anyway, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:32:09 I'm going to play this. I guess this is me playing cooking simulator and talking about baked trout. So you might enjoy it too. That game's weird. Here you go. Stacey's mom has got it going on. Cooking simulator is the game. Nobody tell that guy what happened to his potato, please.
Starting point is 01:32:27 we're going to make baked trout we need trout lemon parsley leaves fresh okay what do we need trout lemon parsley oh shit we got a lemon here and uh i don't know where the parsley is is it on that plant there's no parsley fantastic we're going to figure this out all right we got our lemon oh shit okay dill that some horseradish right there uh what do we got to do here we got to take that trout we got to put it on a baking tray all right come here buddy okay we're going to put that open up dickhead all right we're gonna put that in here oh i gotta do the pepper time and dill okay well that doesn't work sorry we're learning as we go i probably should have done the tutorial all right time all right we're gonna go uh how much five grams of each oh it's not it's not on the trout i may
Starting point is 01:33:09 have put too much take this guy oh shit i moved too fast where'd the food go where do fish go ah shit where did it go are you kidding me where did the fish go you guys it's not on the floor. Oh, there he is. Jeez, Louises. All right, we're gonna shut that. I forgot how long. 90 seconds. Oh, this is way too long. Okay, go back. I think 30 of that already went by. While we're waiting, we're gonna get a dish. Where's the dishes? Shit. Oh, ah? Oh, what have I done? Oh, no, overtime. Shit. All right. How much? Shit, forgot. Okay, you're looking good on the pepper. Forgot the salt, because I'm a dumbass. Uh, sunflower oil. How much of that? A 10 mil... Shit! Son of a bitch. All right, and then... Okay, where's my... I need a plate.
Starting point is 01:33:56 Shit. Oh, it's gonna burn. Shit. Uh, where's my scooper? Scooper. Shit. I want to pick up an onion. I'm gonna shit myself.
Starting point is 01:34:03 Oh, my gosh. This thing. It's the bane. All right, so we need to do the chicken both at 700 millimilla hoo-haws. Oh, shit. It's already starting to leak. Where's the flipper? Where's my flip tool?
Starting point is 01:34:12 Hold on a second. No, no, no. Okay. We did it. We, we know. We have it. We got... I need to some.
Starting point is 01:34:20 kind of pinch her or something. Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, how's he not going to be impressed with whatever the shit I just gave him? Oh, it didn't taste good, though, there, bud. All right. How do I do? That's not bad. That could be way worse, dude. That game is stupid, stupid. It's so stupid. Because you can't, everything's so like, I don't know how to explain it, Brian. It's almost like a VR game without the VR. It's like, first person, you got to take your spatula, pick up the chicken. Turn it just right, hope it lands on the plate right, and you didn't burn it.
Starting point is 01:34:54 I watched, I watch, like, a TikTok or something where you spill boiling water all over the place and then the potato rolls out onto the floor. Yeah, because there's physics and stuff that I didn't count on it when I was, like, in a hurry, because the guy was going to leave without his order. I had to whip around and the fish went that way and the potato went that way. At one point, I broke a plate against the wall. That's great. It's insane. play more of that. If you turn off the timer and just do like an open sandbox game, it's a lot
Starting point is 01:35:24 less stressful, but maybe that's the point. I don't know. I'll only ever play that on stream. I'll never do that by myself. Like, what kind of insane person would do that? All right, big thank you to everyone out there who listens, who is a patron of the show.
