The morning stream. Why did I take the blue pill? Good morning, everyone, and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Thursday, July 29th, 2021. Scott Johnson and Brian Abbottolo, Brian. How are you? That's right. it is the end of July. Yeah, baby.

We got what? One more day. Is that it? Two days. We have 31 days in July. Oh, all right. I always forget. But that's cool.

Sunday is the big 40th birthday of MTV. What? Burned into my brain. Out there with the astronauts, planting a flag. That's right. All right. You know the first video played on.

Yeah. video killed the radio star. Everybody knows that one. Yeah. What was the second? Okay, let's think about this. So this is what, 81 or something? 81. August 1st, 19881. Oh, geez. The second video. See, here's the things. I could remember the first five, but I can't remember the order that they were in. Oh, that's still better than me, I think. All right, let's just, I'm just going to take a guess. Something with Michael Jackson, probably like... No, surprisingly, Michael Jackson wasn't even the first 10 videos.

Oh, my gosh. First, the second one was You Better Run by Pat Benatar, a cover of the song by Manford Man. No, who originally did that. You better run. You better hide. You got a thing inside your side. Sure. Then Rod Stewart, you won't dance with me.

You better, you bet by the who. I'd argue. of the Who's greatest later songs. Oh, I like that song. I like that, I digger. You better, you better, you bet. Yeah, it's a weird song, but I like it. Well, I say I'll need you.

You say you better. You better. All right. Who else? Little Susie's on the Up. Okay. We don't talk anymore by Clifford. It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

And then they get some good ones. Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders. Time Heels by Todd Run. and that's quite the lineup and michael jackson didn't show up till uh 11th or something and what was his song well no i mean uh let's see he the the video they would have played because nineteen eighty one was pre or it was it was before the release of thrillers so they could have done um the song from off the wall um oh um shake you bought it out too no no no it's uh um gosh oh my god Why can't I remember that song?

I can't think of it either. I know which one you mean, though. It was the one that was really big there, and it would have been the big hit. And then nobody knew the thriller was even going to be a thing as big as it was. Rock with you. Thank you. Rock with you. Do you do.

Do you do. Dance the night away. To love. There you go. All right. Well, we've figured it out. They never take us down with that. There's no copyright violation there.

Nope. 40 years, though, that's a hell of a thing. That's crazy. There's, Jayfant Fantastic says there's a great documentary about the start of MTV on Hulu. I'd not heard of that. I would love to see it. Oh, really? Oh, cool.

Does it have famed podcaster Adam Curry in it? Ooh, early VJ Adam Curry? Headbanger's ball host. Yeah. Not one of the original VJ's Adam Curry. Yeah. Oh, he was he not an original? I thought he was.

Is he not one of the first ones? No. No, no, because Mark Hunter kind of looked a little bit like, yeah, wait, wasn't Mark Hunter? The one who kind of looked a little bit like, oh my gosh, this is so long ago, I don't remember. Look like, well, he was the blonde guy. Yeah, there's Mark Hunter right there.

As a matter of fact, pops and recline. Oh, yeah, there you go. That's Mark Hunter. Oh, yeah, remember him. Yeah, he was early, if not original. guess he would have been original wouldn't he yeah he was uh oh yeah he was he was early m tv but he was like headbangers ball him and all of his hair yeah he had a lot of hair yeah uh any invented podcasting well not yeah not mark hunter but uh right exactly so chat this is like a long time ago look at that

oh the flag on the thing look at this guy with a curly hair what was his deal what was his name oh that was uh cur let's see um all right you had your martha quinn you had your um who is the woman with the sounded like she ate uh two packs of cigarettes a day oh she had the crustiest voice yes and she still does um i like this guy's vest she's got a compound word for her last name mark goodman is the one with the curly hair yeah all right uh nina blackwood thank you oh nina blackwood oh my gosh the memories are flooding back man man we were like 10 or 11 man yeah that's crazy think of that how crazy is that yeah that's weird that's weird um all right well kurt loader is way later but he was great her loader way later and uh yeah i liked uh randy jackson no randy randy pitchford randy something jackson shoot uh action jackson yeah is that it that's it

okay uh i don't remember either who the head mayer's ball got taken over by a guy i kind of liked for a while that had, like, cool earrings and a badass short haircut, but it was like medley hair, metal short hair. Can't remember that guy's name? I don't. I don't remember. Yes, shoeless Joe Jackson, Wabbit Magic. J.J. Jackson, that's it. Oh, okay.

Well, I think I just saw him in that video as well. Yeah, Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, J.J. Jackson, Martha Quinn. Yeah. It was a big deal at the time. Yeah. And now they're, I don't even know what that network is now, but it ain't what it used to be. No. it's music television reality shows 24 7 16 year old and pregnant and and cribs I don't know I really don't know what's on MTV it's been a long time since I've even checked so I don't know it is yeah I want to say the last thing I watched MTV may have been like the original Jersey Shore season or something oh yeah right I remember you did watch that yeah I did I was really into it it it was just you know embarrassing lame TV and I was into it right you know that was the situation yeah that was the

The sitch. The sitch. It's useless now, right? Because you just go to YouTube, you say, oh, I want to see the video by the flock of seagulls, and you pull it up and you immediately see it. Oh, yeah, no, it's completely taped. And what's great is they all still,

the videos still get made for every hit song, every non-hits song. Like, videos are everywhere. It's not like it ever went away. In fact, it's bigger than ever. It's just not there anymore. And some stuff just so cool and creative. Yeah.

I love it. We're living in a time of embarrassing riches, man. Totally. And a lot of weird stuff, too. Hey, look at this. I got a dream card. Got a dream card, everyone. All right.

Tell me about your dreams. Oh, okay. All right. So here, have a look, Brian. Whoops. This is a, what do you think that means? Guy going into a bookcase that opens up into a secret passage. Pretty close.

So this says, unfamiliar, secret or unused room. So the dream I had last night was me wandering around the house. but it was definitely way bigger than the house is right you never well okay i never dream about my actual house it's always a house a different completely different house but it doesn't in the dream it's it feels like yeah this is the house i've always lived in this feels like where you yes you you feel like you own it or you're part of it until you wake up and you're like that is weird because that was so not my house that's how this was so uh in the dream i'm wandering around for i don't know how long and I bump into not a bookcase but a some kind of furniture thing that switched on the door

or switched on the wall and the secret door opened and it went and in there was this cobweb covered just menagerie of like kind of Harry Potter stuff just like you know globes and and like almost like chemistry set type arrangement uh sort of things in there like you know the the old school like test tube and then a bunch of curly too and then bigger test tubes and all that. Right, right. Skull says the chat, kind of. Something with a Bunsen burner under it and blue liquid bubbling on top of it.

Yeah, kind of that. That's pretty much it. And I kind of just wandered around in there, pick things up, open things. Didn't really understand it. It woke up. That was the dream. Well, I came down here. One of the first things I did this morning was sift through the cards,

try to find something that worked. And sure enough, here it is. So here's what it says. A house or room in a dream. is a symbol of yourself. So the house or room is yourself, Brian. Okay. As with you,

there will be an inside and an outside. The room in the house symbolizes aspects of who you are on the inside. Therefore, rooms that are unknown, locked or secret, indicate possible areas of personal transformation that are not yet being expressed. Sorry, you are either

aren't aware of them or unaware of them for some reason, or you aren't capitalizing on them. The key to interpretation is what is in the room. So in my case, all this like old dusty sciencey stuff. Yeah. Maybe I want more science in my life. It's an aspect of your, an aspect of you.

So what I'm getting from this is that when you dream of a house, you are the house. Right. Oh, oh, right. That's what they're saying. And also it has to be deserted. If the room or the house or the space isn't deserted and it's only you in there, then it's not this, this isn't the interpretation. This claims you need to be alone.

And I was. I say all this as if I'm really truly taking these dreamers seriously. We know this is all a bunch of hoo-ha, but, you know what, no, I don't think it's, I don't think it's complete hoo-ha. I mean, I think there are, there are things in your subconscious that you just basically uncover what you're in a dream. You and I talked to Harry Potter. We talked to Harry Potter last night.

I sent you photos from the trivia thing we were at. Oh, I wonder, dude. That's a good point. That had an influence. And not only that, you, yeah, you recommended a Harry Potter film. I did. recommendals. Right. And it's one of my favorites and the reason it's my favorite is

or one of my favorites is because of the there's a certain ornateness to everything in that third movie. Yeah. That remind me of this room. That's funny. Okay, maybe maybe you're on to something. All of Brian's freaking Harry Potter bullshit got me into this dream. That's what happened. There we go.

That's it. And in the Harry Potter universe there's a room of requirement in the story which is a secret room nobody knows about. That's right. It's where Harry Potter assembles his his army, the Dumbledore Army, or whatever they, uh... What were they called? Was that it?

Dumbledore's Army, is that right? Yeah, and then it carried on later outside of there, obviously, because they had to kind of weaponize themselves and, man, I forget. But, uh, yeah, I don't have any hidden rooms in this house. If I do, I don't know about them. Well, it was going to say, you might. You just don't know it. Yeah.

I'd love to find it. That'd be awesome. The house we looked at before this one, which isn't far from here, had a bookcase that slid out of the way and then it went back into a huge storage area and you could do anything you wanted with it like they hadn't it was all empty

but I would oh I could have made like a secret like whole thing back there it would have been awesome I know yeah it's my dream to actually have take one of the rooms in this house and it could easily be this you know my 3D printing laboratory room deal and actually make it look like there's a bookcase on that

wall and have the bookcase open up to go into my 3D printing room cool is that it's so cool it would be so cool you can put like a like a mannequin in there with a batman cow on it so that's where you keep your Batman shit for when you need to be Batman right oh yeah my all my armor

all my Iron Man armor would be on the walls there yes that would be that would be really cool so anyway there's that now speaking to Harry Potter you did go to a trivia thing and I was curious how that went yeah well let me you know the place I got to talk about this place called the table top and Tristan Tedpool member Tristan

found this place. It's in South Denver. It's a good half hour, 35 minute drive from where we live. So it's not an easy place to get to. It's not some place I'm going to go and just on a whim, swing by there and do stuff. But this place is great.

The interior looks like a video game tavern. And the bar top has a whole bunch of screens recessed into the bar top. And then at the edge of the bar top, You know, where you'd rest your hands, there is a cutout that has either a built-in joystick, like an arcade joystick and buttons, or cables coming out, like a Super Nintendo or a controller of some sort of wired controller. Yeah, some of them look like actual, like joystick from an arcade machine style. Totally, yeah, totally, that one, the first one I sent. And you just hop up to the bar, you order a drink, these are all set to free play. There are maim emulators, which I guess the E.N. Mame is emulator, but whatever.

ATM machine. And you pick your game. It's all on free play. You play your game. You drink your ale, your cider, your whatever. And this place is so freaking cool. So perfect for like a Denver Tadpool meetup, if we ever want to. want to do that we did obviously it was it was tad poolers uh last night for harry potter right and um uh this place is awesome now let's talk about the harry potter trivia here's a by the way here's a bar for people look i'm just putting up on oh yeah so one the first one brian sent me

was like a screens tilted slightly you can see a bunch of selections and then you got this perfect little arcade joystick thing over here it's great it's awesome yeah it's super cool by the way when i took that photo um i was taking a picture right next to a guy who was sitting you know, sitting at the next spot to the left. Is this the smiley guy, by the way? Is this the smiley guy? This is not that smiley guy, is it?

Because I love this guy. Sorry, I'll put this one up while you're talking because it's amazing. But anyway. Let me take a look and see what if he's, I didn't think he was in the photo unless he's just in the very side. This may have been someone with you guys. No. No, it's the shot where you see somebody's phone on a chair.

Okay. And the arcade joystick recessed into the bar. Oh, okay. The, before I took that picture, oh, I'm sorry, no, I didn't, I didn't say any of the phone on the chair. I took the one just of the arcade thing with the recessed controllers. So took the picture of that. And then as I'm bringing my phone down, I realize that somebody was sitting there, no problem. Their phone was on the chair to hold their spot.

Their driver's license was sitting on top of the bar, like basically on that wooden spot right next to the joysticks. That seems dangerous. It does seem dangerous. Well, I guess she just proved that she was old enough to order a drink. She went to the bathroom. She left her driver's license there. She left her phone on her seat, just to hold the spot, I guess. I don't know.

And as I'm bringing the phone down, I realized, I'm like, oh, dude, I'm sorry. I didn't see that those are a driver's license there. I'm deleting this photo. And I made this. Maybe I went overboard with the whole production of like, oh, sorry, took a picture. I'm deleting this right now. Sorry about that. I just wanted to take a picture.

Sure. And whatever. Then I took that picture and sent it to you. But it was funny because I felt like, like, like, I could have easily, identity thefted this person. Oh, you totally could have. Yeah. Easily. Like, they, you know.

They shouldn't do that. They shouldn't. They shouldn't do that. Yes. Yeah, I would agree with that. That's. But, all right. So, we sat down and played trivia.

Now, this is, this is not part of, like, a chain of trivia things, like, geeks who drink or team trivia or one of. of those companies. This is actually written and put on by the bar owners. A guy and his wife, by the way, the only two people there running this place, they are hopping around, serving people, asking trivia questions, doing this

whole thing, and man, got to give them props because this is their place. Their dog sleeps behind the bar. They have an apartment upstairs from the bar. This is like everybody's dream of having this like arcade video game nerd. Jealous of this.

I'm so jealous of this lifestyle. I would love it. Oh, my God. Totally. So, uh, eight rounds, uh, ten questions each round. So possible 80 points. Okay. This thing was like a, uh, trivia root canal is what it was.

Uh, go on. We ended up with a whopping 17 points because these questions were so freaking difficult. It was like, uh, what do you call the creature that looks like? a jack russell terrier but has a forked tail oh my gosh dude yes this is this is written for people who um who read the books and as soon as they finish reading the books they read the books again and then when they finished reading the books they read the books again oh again they go watch the movie to compare why what things change and then they read the book again to reinforce the original information yeah exactly so hold on iqor by the way does have it right it is a crop is

the is this thing that i'm described oh i cor you would have done well sounds like it would have done well read for uh amy apparently would have done well um there was one round on quotes so they read a quote from the book and you had to say who said that quote and it wasn't easy stuff like you're a wizard harry or anything like that i mean it was you know did things with a wand that i can't believe or uh uh yeah they played a clip of stephen fry reading the audiobook the the audio book of the the british version of the novel And you had to identify which character he was reading. Sounds hard. It was really, really hard. It was super difficult. There was one round on movie stuff. And I think even in that round, we got three of the ten questions correct.

And we had just watched the movies. So did anybody, like, did anybody just blow everyone else out of the water? The team that did the best out of 80 points or 83 points because there were a couple multi-part questions in there, only got 55. So the highest scoring team. There were 12 teams competing. We took 11th place. So we weren't dead last.

But it's funny, the bottom seven teams, none of them scored higher than 25 points. So we were right in kind of the middle of this pack down in the bottom. And then your top five teams were all like 40-something and higher. It was like there was a cluster down at the bottom. There was a cluster up at the top and a big gap between them. Wow. A big gap of Harry Potter knowledge. But you know what?

It was a blast. We had a great time and that's really what's important. And don't forget there was a damn jowse machine there. Look at that right there. There was that jouse machine also on free play. Yeah, baby. Oh, that's all I would have done. I'd have spent all day on that Jouse machine.

They would have done their first question, which is like, how many B-B-Bops to 14 Harry Potter ding-dongs or something I'd never know? And I'd be like, I'm going to go play Joust. I'll see you later. Because those would kill me those questions. Well, that's awesome. I love it.

I'm jealous of these people. I want to be them. God, I know. I know. Except for their Mensa-level freaking quiz making, other than that, you know. Right, right. And behind the wall, by the way, behind the bar, oh, they had a, they had butter beer,

which was butterscotch schnapps, vanilla vodka, and cream soda. Was it good? And I had one of these, and it was freaking fantastic. That sounds like that she might be pretty good. It was really, really good. They had another drink, which was a shot, and it was called, oh, what was it called? Shoot, I wish I could remember because Tristan and Clark both had one of those. and it was advertised as the worst thing you've ever tasted.

And immediately when they brought that shot back to the table, I said, I bet that's malort. And I took a smell of it and it was like, oh, it smells like malort. They said, taste it. Tasted it, sure enough, malort. Yeah, we've talked about malort before. You know how bad that is. Yeah.

So, that's fantastic. I was hoping they'd call it the Harry Peter or something terrible like that, you know. Oh, yeah, no, it was something from the books like, a cruciatus curse or something like that or one of those barth beans no it wasn't avada cadavera something like that it wasn't one of the curses it was an unforgivable shot is what it was yeah but um tastes like grapefruit and pesticide wow i i i totally does with with uh pencil shavings like there's a lead and wood kind of taste to it in there as well oh grapefruit pesticide and pencil shaming so who likes me everything nobody likes malar right why

The only reason you drink Malort, the only reason they sell Malort is kind of the same reason they still only sell truck nuts. It's to people who buy it for other people as a joke. Nobody goes out and buys truck nuts anymore, except that they're buying it for their friend. Right. Nobody wants actual nuts on their truck. That's right. Exactly. Okay.

I get it. No, that actually helps me understand truck nuts better, too. Because I've always kind of wondered, wait a minute, why is anyone who is anyone who? have those. Oh, because your cousin thought it was funny. He gave it to you as a joke. Because that was funny and they bought it for her. Yeah, that was and that's not just speculation on my part. There is a

great podcast called Decoder Ring and every episode they focus on a phenomenon. Sometimes a pop culture phenomenon like truck nuts. They've also done Baby Shark things like that, but they also had an episode

on the Karen and the rise of the Karen and how far back, how much further Beck, that all goes than I realized. Right. Yeah. They're like 99% invisible, but with like more social stuff. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. It's really good. The great episode on Bushnell and Chuck Echise, like the rise of the the showbiz pizza wars between Chuck Echise and Showbiz pizza.

That's probably really good. I should, you know what? I haven't listened to them forever. I need to do that. That's a good. It's a good show. And the Karen episode is so enlightened. Bobby Bobby said something I think should be on a gravestone Just because it was given to you Doesn't mean you have to actually put it on your truck

That's good advice This is true 100% true I mean I think I've only ever seen it once Like in my life somebody with a truck nut Hang in there Yeah No and the

They talk to One of the three makers of truck nuts They're like three competing companies That make these And he says Yeah I'd say 90% of them are bought ironically and 75% of the ones bought ironically never even leave the package

and are put on a on a truck and they don't care because the market's big enough they can sell them so who cares what people do with them right exactly they do have ones for cycles too and I cover what those are called but they're like you put them on the on the underside of your seat on your bicycle and it looks like your your testicle your scrotum is hanging down through your bicycle seat so it sounds a lot like what they've done is they've flooded the market with potential office white elephant gifts for Christmas. That's what that is. Right, exactly. These are the things that you take to your office white elephant party to trade for the spa treatment that somebody bought because they didn't realize it was a joke.

Right. Now, here's the other thing. If you find out, somebody's wearing one of these on his truck, unironically, like he actually thinks it's cool. This is a person you need to cut out of your life and no longer interact with. okay just create a little separating line and say you stay over there and i'll stay over here and you and i aren't hanging out anymore guy with nuts on his truck unironically right all right cabby kipper found them by the way they are bike balls at uh balls www www. w balls dot balls dot bike and you just have to see the video that goes along with you're the

biker you know i'm just saying maybe these are marked down from nineteen dollars and fifty cents down to fifteen dollars they look like a couple of siloom uh light sticks. Oh, yeah. Why are they so bright? Suspended in a semi-transparent balloon. I guess I thought they'd be more like the truck ones that are supposed to be all gnarly and real-looking. I didn't know it'd be a glowy.

Well, the good news about that is that it kind of also acts as a protection, right? So. Oh, like a light on your. Like a light on your bike so that other cars and stuff can see you. Well, man, our anatomy sucks. Look at that. All right. You kind of tempted, aren't you?

You're a little tempted. I'm kind of tempted. No, we'll see. Yeah, we'll see. If he does, we'll know about it here. It's content. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

All right, Brian, something to what happened. I've got to tell you. I'm terrified about this news. I don't even know what to do. Right. So Casa Benita, this fixture of Denver for such a long time. Giant pink building erected standing tall, pointing its pink self up into the air.

Yeah. But, uh, suffered from pre-COVID suffered from just horrible food, but a great internal atmosphere with cliff divers and, um, a prominent spot on a TV show called South Park where Cartman claims it's his favorite place in the world. Yeah. And the complete episode is an accurate description of what that place is inside. Remind me. Wasn't their Breaking Bad episode where they filmed it at Casa Benita? Didn't that happen? Or am I, am I completely?

You're thinking, no, it's a different, it's a Mexican restaurant in Albuquerque, and I went there and took pictures from the outside, and it's the one where, that's why, because you went there, we talked about this. Yeah, Hank and Marie confront Walter and Skyler about the whole situation. They kind of find out what's going on, and they confront them. And the guy keeps coming to the table saying, you know. The guy keeps coming by and off for jalapeno poppers or something, yes. That's such an awkward episode. All right. Get out of here, Brad, or whatever it is.

That was great. All right. Anyway, so continue on. So, Casa Benita. Now, COVID hit, and this place was already kind of struggling financially. And COVID just kind of really took the wind out of their sales and forced them into bankruptcy. And it looked like it was the end for Casa Benita, sadly, this institution of horrible food and cliff diving in Black Bart's Cave. Sure.

In comes a couple of guys by the name of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. What? What? Who are trying to, working out a plan right now to buy Casa Bonita. And not only that, improve the food and, like, make it a decent restaurant and, like, basically turn it around, not only turn it, get it back to its former glory, but exceed that former glory. and improve the food and fix the place up. That's amazing. That's amazing.

I love this. That is amazing. This is what, you know, you don't see Parker and Stone saying, hey, let's shoot ourselves in a space. No, these guys are doing something. They're making a difference. They're taking their millions and they are buying out a failed restaurant and turning it into a possibly not just slightly better version of what it used to be in kind of a funny South Park sort of way. And damn it, they're heroes, damn it. They are heroes.

And I don't care if they stick Kenny's all over the damn place in there and sell nothing but South Park merchandise in the gift shop, totally fine with me. As long as they... Yeah. Maybe I waited a long enough time to go to Casa Bonita finally the time would be when they reopen it. Is there a timeline? Do we know? No, they're still in the process of figuring out how to do it, but they've more than expressed interest. They are working with some local restauranteurs.

and to back them financially to make this happen. It seems like there shouldn't be much of a problem if it's, they certainly have the money, right? They have the money, the thing's in bankruptcy. It's not even like they need a deal. They can just get it done unless. Nobody seems to be stopping them. Like, nobody's saying, oh, this is not what we want. So.

Maybe there's a thing where they're, well, I don't know how this works. But if you find out that Matt Stone and Trey Parker are interested, do you then suddenly go, oh, well, maybe we're, maybe we should take a more bidders. Oh, like a competitor kind of thing. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, possibly. I mean. I don't know. Yeah.

Money is a wicked mistress. You do what you do. Listen, I'll, I'd throw $100 towards this knowing that Parker and Stone are behind it, you know. Yeah, you can have a hundred bucks, but you got to put my name on a brick or something, you know. Totally fine. Yeah. Exactly. Although it probably costs more than 100 bucks to have your name etched into a brick and go through all the administrative details of all that stuff. It's like, all right, great. His $100 contribution, we get about $11 from that after the brick purchased, the etching and the...

Yeah. I remember when Twitch did that with their studio that they had built, and if you paid money, you could get your name etched on one of the stones or bricks or whatever, but now that place is gone. That whole thing got torn down. Tina and I have a brick with our names on it at the Children's Museum in Denver that somebody got us as a as a wedding present years ago. Oh, nice. Have you seen it? Have you walked over it and poked it and, you know? Not in the last 10 years, but at the time, yeah. My dad's on something. I forgot.

Something downtown. Got his name on there. Cool. Yeah. I should go find out. All right. Well, that's good news for Mexican food enjoyers everywhere. Yes.

Let's hope. Let's hope this happens. but boy my email my Twitter Facebook everybody was copying that article out sending it to me and so I had to go and reply on all of them and say yep I'm hoping it happens yep all right this is great news okay let's hope copy and paste copy and paste it's like anybody people sending me 2D old news about some of the blizzard stuff that's happening yeah sure and expecting it to be news to me I'm like yeah no this is great thank you for that this is I hadn't seen You know what? I'm fine with that because somebody always has to be the first person to let me know about the Foo Fighters disco album.

That's right. Seriously. You know, someone's got to be that guy. Don't stop doing that. Don't worry if you think I've heard it a bunch of times before. Maybe everybody's thinking that and they're all holding off on letting me know stuff. So there you got it. You have it. All right. We got Gidgett incoming. It's that time of the month, everybody. Where I actually didn't mean that the way it sounded, but we love having Gidgeon. where Gidgett flows into our show. It's just part of life. She's here, and we're playing this. Trivial things. It's Trivial things with Gidgett von Leroux, joining us from Australia in the middle of the night.

Hello, Gidgett, how are you? Oh, she's muted. Oh, we can't hear you. You're on you. We can see you. You can see you on everywhere. I can see you now and hear you. Fantastic.

Hello. Hey, is it like her is looking bigger than ever today. Yeah, what the heck? What's going on there? Yeah. Well, the quiz is 70s, so 70s. Your hair is more teased than a four-year-old with glasses on a school playground. I thought you were doing like, I don't know, the MTV anniversary.

And you were like, I'm going to look like 81 in here. And there you go. Well, the weird thing is back then you were talking about, you know, the start of MTV. We didn't get that here in Australia. I was going to say it didn't start for you until a few years later. We got cable. We got cable in the early 90s and then I think he was just stealing our cable. Yeah, they were just stealing our cable before that.

It was a little true. We were late to cable. We were late to cable. I remember being in Hawaii and thinking, how do Americans have all this stuff? Because we didn't have cable for ages. So it was like beta tape, then VHS. And then, yeah, early 90s was the first time like Foxtel, which is our cable channel. Oh, wow.

Came rocking in and they sort of dominate the whole area. They just got internet like two years ago. And now we can get Netflix and Amazon Prime and stuff like that. So FoxTales can get stuff. Yeah. How long until you guys got unleaded gasoline? How long did that take? Was that a, oh, I don't know.

I didn't, I didn't drive a car until 1989. Yeah. Well. So I don't know. Yeah. You know when you're a kid. You were talking about dreams, and I've explained this to you guys over and over again. I mean, those dream cards are bullocks, right?

So at our age, we've got all these memories in our head. So that room that you were going into was part of probably a childhood home, which is most of the time. We don't remember the homes we're in now. We mostly remember the homes that we grew up in. They could be a friend's home or they could be a school room or they could be just a building that you're in and it's your brain combines them all when you're sleeping because you've got no control of your brain when you're asleep. Totally possible.

Yeah. So these cards are bollocks, you say. They're bollocks. Look up is that a card about, is there a card that talks about bollocks? No, there's a, I'm a naked one. So there's nudity. Oh, there you go. Body parts and there's accidents, which all of those equate to that for me.

All right. Well, that's a common thing, isn't it? the naked thing, like you suddenly at school and you're naked or you're somewhere that's really important and you haven't got much clothes on or something like that, which is always my dread. Or I'm always losing either my handbag, my money, or my makeup bag, which to me is disastrous on all accounts. So how can that not be tied to an emotion or fear that you've been experiencing? I mean, I feel like it is your way of your subconscious saying, here's something you've been fretting about.

in the back of your mind, I'm just going to bring it to the forefront so that you can maybe deal with it. I think what happens with our brains is I think we bring up the past, but it initiates the insecurities that we have now. Sure. That's just my theory. I'm not a specialist, but I have many dreams over the night, and I always wonder, I'm quite a confident person, but in my dreams, I'm really insecure and I'm really frightened and

no one's helping me. And I think, why am I dreaming those things? I want to be dreaming about Clive Owen, you know, pounding me or something like that. But I never dream those things. Yeah, no, I get you. Well, the story I've never told anyone before, before we get to trivia, because you reminded me of it. In 2018, I was on a stage in front of about 26,000 people. And in my head, in the backstage, I remembered people saying your whole life.

And the stereotype was, oh, it's. It's fine if you just go out and picture them all naked, right? And then you'll just be fine because you'll picture everybody naked and it'll somehow calm you down. Well, I wasn't going to use that as an actual tactic, but I couldn't get it out of my head exactly because it was just, here's my chance to test this theory. Sure. And I wasn't even that nervous. But anyway, go out there. And what I'm presented with is just a giant, brightly lit visual that I couldn't make out any faces.

Like there's no, it was just a massive. of noise and I knew that they were there, but I couldn't see individuals. So my brain is so weird that all I could picture and only people who see this episode will know what I'm talking about, but there's an episode of Futurama where Bender becomes human for a bit

and he gets really, really obese, like enormously obese and he ends up dying from it. And they don't know he's dead at first because he's such a party animal and he's so big that if any air escapes from any of the flabs of

skin, he goes, woo, like that, that's the sound it makes. So everyone thought Bender was going, woo, like he's partying, but really it's air escaping from him when you're moving, and he goes, woo, and that's all I can see in my head is this woo moment with a giant fat bender, and it was really, really hard to like shake it off and go, all right, we got to get to this damn thing. Anyway. But do you think that that, that episode of Futurama, that, like the dog one as well, like got just sunk into your,

but the thing is we only use a certain section of our brain, so that's obviously sunk into your psyche, and it's something that's relevant for you, maybe, I don't know. Maybe, yeah, I feel like I'm being Wendy at the moment. Well, listen, maybe, there you go. You're fulfilling our Thursday, Wendy that you know on this afternoon. No, let's, well, Bobby's taking notes. So correct, anything we screw up here, it'll be fine.

Okay, hey. Okay, so I did, I did. Never mind the Bollick's dream cards. Let's get to some trivial things. Okay, so hang on, before we get to that, just quickly, because Wendy's not on, so I thought I could just have a bit of fun at the front there. So, the last quiz I gave you was for movies for 1988, and here's a little bit of the feedback from the Tadpool.

Gidey, Tadpool. Hey, I can see you over there. Okay. I go, I call, said Gidgett von Humperdink. Locus Raven said, is Gidgett taken from a movie? I feel I need to answer these. Yes, indeed. Gidgett goes Hawaiian.

Oh, really? So it's from the Gidget series. Okay. Yep. I didn't know that. So J.K. Grammar, good-day, mate. He said, in the middle of Gidgett's Richard Donner podcast episode, so good. Thank you very much.

Free Rangers said, I know the 40s have great films. I love all the decades of films as I grew up with movies. So you're a champ. Kat Sumi said the year I graduated high school. and Mojo Finger said, me too, class of 88. So whoop, whoop to you guys. Zoe rings bacon, met you in Vegas, hello, sweetie. She said, I was married for a year by then.

Love you, Zoe. Oh, wow. Is that true? Wow. Yeah, I guess so. Claire Gack said, oh my God, Gidget, you got my name right. And I just did then as well. So there you go.

Kelly 138 said 88 was such an awesome year for movies. I agree. When we're talking about Shakespeare's the Clown, Dan Wally gave it a thumbs up so that's good All Roads Tavern said Is Scott a scrooge about Scrooge

Yes he is Yeah He is I'll support that I haven't seen it recently But I'll support that You need to watch It's bad

All right, explain it, Jay, fantastic. Greg for Walkman said, shake surprised me how much I liked it. Benjamin O.O6 said she did a good job keeping the boys on track and Luke's site walker said, I fell asleep. You know what? That sounds like Luke.

I've heard him many times. It does actually sound like diced tomato. Are you sure you credited that one, right? Yeah. No, that's a nice tomato. So I credited it right. He fell asleep. So I'm sorry.

So yeah. There you go. Wake up. All right. Coming up later on the show, uh, Gidgett will read feedback from her reading of the feedback. I'm going to do that.

Don't dare me. I will do that. Give her ideas. All right. What's our category this week? I don't remember. You told us last time what you were going to maybe do and I don't have a memory. Okay.

So we're going back to the 70s. So basically all of us were kids. We weren't teens. we were kids. So I was born 1970, Scott, what you were you born? 69. Same with Brian. 69, Brian?

69 as well. Okay. All right, so this is from, I thought it would be a bit fair. This is from 1979. This is the hardest quiz that I've ever made for you guys. I'm really sorry. but let's see how you go

Brian won last time so Scott is going first All right Chat room hidden And chat's hidden And chat So keep scoring there please All right

All right go ahead Caught you cheating last time There Scotty I lost last time What do you mean? I didn't cheat Yeah if he's cheating He's not doing it very well

The Tab Pool was giving you the wrong answers Oh Well I don't think that happened But go ahead Oh they were They were I know what they're up to

Okay A special shout out to Lieutenant Codename at Lieutenant Cota Name. He and I had a very good discussion in DM in Twitter. He's from the Ukraine and he said to tell Scott to stop saying that he's Russian. He's not Russian. He's from the Ukraine. No, he's from the Ukraine. Right, exactly, yes.

They don't like the, the, yeah. They get mad at me when I ever say, oh, Ukraine. So it's Ukraine. Bits and bobs. But he's Ukrainian. He's a very nice guy. We talked for a very long time. So thank you very much.

That was really lovely. Okay. So, Scott, first question, I gave it to you. I gave you a Mad Max question, but it's the very first Mad Max. Okay. All right. So let's see how we all go. You've hidden the chat.

Yep, they're gone. Okay, so Mad Max. Max and his wife, Jesse, have a young son whom they only call A, Toddy, B, Sprog, B, Bunyip, or D, Max Jr. Oh my gosh, dude, really? Mm-hmm. We just saw this. Told you. We just watched it for film, sack.

Um, can you give me the first couple again? Okay, so this is the first, this is the very, very first one, 79. This is not Matt Max to the roadway. Right, right, right. This is the one before it. Right. Uh, so they've got a young son whom they call either Toddy, Frog, C, Bunyip, or D, Max Jr. So did you say frog for B?

frog frog no she's getting it's cutting off sprog sprogy sprog

okay like the like the city and uh the rakelsovakia I'll say I don't know that one sounds

sort of weird and familiar I'll say sprog B I don't know you should say that you should say that is that right

it is right it's frog yeah I believe it I should have let him think it was frog you never would have picked it if I would have

if I just would have kept my mouth shut. I really didn't think I heard. I really thought I was hearing. Silence is golden, Brian. I know. I know. I can't do it. It sounds familiar because of frog.

Yeah, I know. All right, Brian. Yes. Okay, number two, alien. Okay, alien. Also just watched. 76, not aliens. Yeah.

Okay, alien. What crew members head out to investigate the distress signal from their ship, the Nostramo. Is it A, Kane, Ash, and Dallas? B, Dallas, Parker and Ash, C, Ash, C, Ash, Kane and Dallas, or D, Dallas, Dallas, Lambert, and Kane. It's Dallas, Lambert, and Kane. I think you said Dane, Dallas, and Ash twice, but Ash stayed on the ship. So it was Lambert, Dallas, and Kane went out to investigate. Yeah, it's a great law firm as well.

Let us back in. One Lambert. Yeah. Who is it? See, Sigordi Weaver Ripley, Ripley knew. She was like, do not let them back on the craft. She always knows. She's awesome.

She's Ellen Ripley. She's awesome. Yeah. Okay, Scott. Number three, this is Rocky 2. All right. Okay, what holiday do Apollo Creed and Rocky Belboa have their heavyweight fight at the beginning of the film?

Is it A? New Year's Day, B, Christmas Eve, C, Easter or Good Friday, or D, Memorial Day. Well, there's no way it's Christmas Eve. No one does that on Christmas Eve. Um, in Memorial Day, who gives a crap? It's got to be New Year's Day. number A No Ding No you're right

You're safe All right Suspense That was very suspenseful All right No I answered That one is a lot We didn't hear you

No we didn't hear you Just one must be cutting you off or something Yeah you got a high You got the there's a little slider The We'll only listen to you if you're a certain loudness I think there's a certain loudness You're not hitting but it's fine

Oh sorry I get a bit screechy Ah blame the Colonel. It's fine. Oh, I do. He's in the chat room. I saw him. Oh, is he in there? So I'm going to say... He just waits until everything's working and then he just... Oh, then he goes to bed. Yeah. I wanted to say the reason that question worked for me is it's a process of like, well, what... Even in a fake movie, no one's having fights on Christmas Eve or Memorial Day or Easter. I actually would have guessed Christmas Eve if New Year's wasn't right, because I thought, you know, in the movies, they might have done something like that.

They wouldn't do it in real life, but they might have said, the cruise. Christmas Eve, Thriller in Vanilla. Now, if it's good, Scott, you thought it out. I did. I used my big boy brain. My partner got that wrong. So, he said Memorial Day.

So, but we're Australian, so we know. What do you hate to know? I don't know. Okay. So well done, Scott. All right, Brian. This is the Amadaville horror. Get out.

Okay. Yes. What insect frightens father Delany, played by Rod Steig. that is gathered on the window as he blesses the Lutz's house. Is it A, B, B, wasps, C, beetles, or D, flies. It is flies, lots and lots of flies. Easy, easy, easy.

If I come out of here and then it goes, get out. And you're like, yep, I'm out. God, that's it, done. Yep, nice house, but bye. That movie stirred the shit out of me in the drive-in. It was nine years old. Wasn't there like an oil toilet or? or something, like a goopy tar

melted toilet scene. There's a frickin' red room in the basement. I was like, oh, Cap, done. I'm hiding under a blank in the back seat. Mom, you're on your own. I'm with you, dude. That movie freaked me out back in the day. I think if you're at home and you watch,

like I love horror films and I like being scared. But I think that if you're at home, you've always got what I call your scare pillow and you get the pillow in front of you and it's like, if something really frightening is happening, you just got that pillow to protect you, but you don't have that in the cinema. So, do you bring a Scare pillow with you?

We take a blanket sometimes to the theaters. I want my Nicholas Cage pillow. My Nicholas Cage face pillow to take to the... You're going to need that for Pig. Take it for Pig. I'm going to take it for Pig. I got to see Pig. That's not frightening, but I loved it.

Did you see Peggy? I love Pig. Yeah, I keep hearing. It's awesome. So I need to watch it. You might have to watch it sooner than later because so many people are talking it up. Your expectations might be. right up here but uh i was i was expecting it to be sort of a john wick type of film and it was

just so much more in depth than that and everyone's fantastic nick cage is great and the pig is great as well so there you go ah cool it's very very good points for the pig okay all right so scott yeah we are going down the bond pathway it is moon raker wow the least so much film sack in this uh this quiz all right i love the film sack everyone's got to go and check out film It's awesome. Okay, so Bond. Moon, Raquel, what actress was the main Bond girl in this film? Was it Lois Childs, Barbara Bach, Carol Bouquet, or Maud Adams?

I really don't know this, but the only name on there I know is Barbara Bach, so I'll say Barbara Bach. No, Brian. All right. So Mod Adams was Octopussy. Of course you know this. I think you wouldn't know this. Lois Childs, you were saying? Mm-hmm.

I think she might have been pussy galore. Who was the, and then who's left? All right, so I'll go through it again. Lois Charles, Barbara Park, Carol Bouquet, and Maud Adams, Moonraker. Carol Bouquet. That's a name I don't recognize. Or was it Lois Childs and I'm getting my pussy galore mixed up? I'm going to say, I'm going to say it's.

Lois Childs. You are correct. Damn it. Okay. Frick. All right. So, let's say, who's a bouquet? Who's Carol Bucay?

Yeah. All right. So Lois Charles was Holly Goodhead in Moonraker. Okay. Barbara Bark was Maj Anya Amarsova in the spy who loved me. Carabuque was Malena Havlock in Fiori's Only and Morda Adams was Octopussy in Octopussy. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. So Moon Raker is a pile of garbage, by the way. Just want to get it out there. Moon Raker is terrible. But you're going to ask us about Jaws' girlfriend with the pink tails and the braces. Oh, right. Right. But I'll watch it any time that it's on.

I love watching it, but it's bad. It's bad. It's bad. Yeah. All right. Go ahead. Sorry. It's all right.

Okay. So this is Brian because you just stole that. Oh. You stole that. Yeah, you did. You did. You did. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you got it. I'm too sober to do this right now. Okay. Me too. Yeah. Damn straight. Okay.

So number six. So this is Brian. Apocalypse Now. All right? Yeah. Yeah. What country is Colonel Kurtz waging his guerrilla war and is looked upon as a demigod? Is it A, Laos, B, Vietnam, C, Cambodia or D, Thailand?

I think it's Cambodia. It's been forever since I've seen this. I just watched it. It turns up. That movie looks so good. Still, to this day, it looks like it's filmed like a week ago. It's so good. Yeah.

I think it's not Vietnam. The Vietnam, I think, is the obvious answer. I think it's Cambodia. That's my answer. Yeah, well done. Dang it. I was hoping you'd go Laos or something. Yeah.

I need to see that again. It's so good. The director's cut is sublime. It's really long, but it's such a great movie. You'd swear you're watching. if you didn't know all these actors are freaking old as dirt now or dead you wouldn't even know

it's so well made and so like as good to be they've re-masted it so it looks amazing I'll be controversial and say I actually prefer the making of more than the actual movie. Yeah yeah I prefer that over that to me the best war movie ever made is come and see it's a Bella Russian film

that really feels like a documentary Not at Gallipoli I would have thought you would have said Gallipoli Gallipoli with the... Look, Gallipoli is a fantastic war movie, but one that just really just wreck me to the bone, and I could put you in the list up there as well,

is come and see any of your listeners that have seen that film. It is truly traumatic, and that's what a war film should be. But what about the fight for control over Gastown and the release of women who were being oppressed and all of that? What about that war film, no? Yeah. Doesn't count?

Okay, fair enough. It's funny. yeah that's fine have another drink Scott you don't drink do you no I don't I got tea I got tea plus it's 10 in the morning

well you know we're Australian we start drinking at 9 right yeah drink all day if you don't start in the morning we're all drunk all the time okay all right so this is Scott sorry about it's Scott it's Kramer versus Kramer I know that movie

that's the one where a girl holds her boobs in her crotch in a hallway. That's my only memory of it. Wow. This will be a tough one for me to steal if you get it wrong because I've never seen it. Yeah, it's all I have is a memory of it. That's it. But go ahead.

My partner actually got this right and he's never seen it either. Oh, okay. All right, good. There you go. It's a movie basketball. What is the last name of the two people fighting over custody in this film? It's pretty close. Okay.

What is Ted, Dustin Hoffman's initial job in this film? Is he, A, an architect, B, an advertising. Executive, C, Financial Risk Specialist, or D, a Commodities Broker. Oh, my gosh, dude. My gut instinct is architect, and I don't know why, probably because I love George Costanza, so architect. No, Brian. Damn it.

Oh, wow. My guest, too. I'm going to say he's a, what's the second one? I don't think it's one of the financial. advertising executive financial risk specialist or that he's broken i'm going to say advertising executive that is correct ah damn it yeah yeah he just doesn't look like a finance guy he doesn't look like a guy that no he's not a wall street type no it's a good movie merrill street it's a good movie about divorce if anyone's been through a divorce it is a good movie to watch

for divorce the critics absolutely loved it and that little kid was in like a couple other things in the 80s. Yeah, he went on to do some other stuff. Yeah. And I really liked, what's her name? Can't think of her name all of a sudden? Mel Street? No, the funny one.

Terry Gar. Terry Gar. I love Terry Gar. Terry Gar. Yeah. Love her forever. She's amazing. Never saw a thing with Terry Gar in it that I didn't love.

This is true. Yep. All right. Yeah. I got into a discussion with someone a couple of weeks ago on Twitter saying Terry Gar should have been in The Shining instead of Shelley. For sure. I mean, she could have.

And I found that interesting. I think that's interesting. I don't know. It would have been a good pick, but I think Shelly Duval was fine. She did good job. Of course she was. Yeah. Some of the best casting, by the way, was Terry Gar as Phoebe Buffet's mom on Friends.

Oh, yeah. That was like cut from the same cloth. Perfect. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Could you, I mean, she can do that. So that's from young Frankenstein.

She can do that really, you know, oh, it's so stupid, you know, yeah, didsy. One of my, one of my favorite Letterman, favorite Letterman guests. And every time she was on, I would always make sure I didn't miss that interview. because she was always great with Dave. She's lovely. And she's still with us. Still super cute, too. Yay.

And she's been through some stuff. She had some real hardcore medical stuff and did okay. Yeah. Yeah. She's awesome. Getting old sucks. Terry Gar. Okay. Terry Gar.

Yeah. All right. So, Brian, Scott. Yeah. No, Brian. He stole that. Yeah. Brian's winning again.

Yeah. And get all the questions. Okay. Hey, Manhattan. The Woody Allen movie. Yeah. What music? What music does this film open with?

The City of Brass by Bernard Herman. C. B, you're the top, Cole Porter. C. cheek to cheek, Irving Berlin. Or D. Rhapsody in Blue, George Gershwin. Oh, all right. Here's a movie I've never seen, and it's like Oscar winning, and it's accolades up the Wahoo, and I know it's got kind of a jazz 1920s look to it.

I know it doesn't take place in the 1920s, but. It's a very style. realistic movie it's um it is i think what he's last i didn't mind matchpoint i really like manhattan murder mysteries um but yeah i like quite a few of his movies and i think i've only seen uh any hall and uh scenes from a mall and matchpoint i think those the only sadly the only woody allen films i've seen really you haven't seen take the money and run or love and death no okay no i need to go back no no i saw the purple rose of Tyro, which I thought was really cool.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's kind of a nice supernatural, Jeff and Daniels. All right, I'm going to say it's because I just like this song, Cheek to Cheek by Irving Berlin. No, Scott. Oh, my gosh. Well, now let me guess completely. All right, do you want me to go through them again?

No, because I want to say, I'm going to pick one I like. I like Rhapsody and Blue, the last one. The United theme song. You have gone with your guts and your guts are right. I love that. Ding, sorry. It's got lucky. I just liked that song.

It's great. All right, I'll take it. Can someone... I think it's that one. Gidgett? You have access to the chat or what's our score. Do you know what it is right now? I think Brian's ahead by this two.

I'm going to put up the score. All right, that'll take a minute. Quick, do it. Do it. Tedpool. Get on your game. Let's go. I'm just curious if I'm anywhere in Brian's...

Don't be so lazy. I'm guessing he's up by two if I had to... I think I'm up by one because I've stolen two. you've stolen one. I can count it at the end anyway, so that's fine. That's fine. All right, so Scott stole that one. This one's for Scott.

Scott, you get a comedy. This is great comedy. This is the jerk. Oh, I like the jerk. Well, I did. I don't know. Yeah, great. Okay, what does Navon R. Johnson lack re-talant?

Is it A, singing skills. B, he can't count. C, no rhythm, or D, playing the piano. I think it's no rhythm because he does the whole like Yeah the thing that he does And he can't eat He was adopted by the black family and he's They've all got rhythm, he's got no rhythm

And he's got no rhythm All right, I'll take it He hates these cans It has been so long since I've seen that I love it. It's one of the best Steve Martin movies And yeah, it's hilarious All right so Brian you also get a comedy Okay

You get Monty Python's Life of Brian. Oh, man. Yep, released in 1979. Okay, what Python plays Brian's mother, Mandy Cohen? Is it A, John Cleese, B, Terry Jones, C, Terry Gilliam, or D, Eric Idle? Before you gave me the choices, I was remembering it as Eric Idol, so I'm going to stick with that, Eric Idol. Got? Nope.

It is Terry Jones, I believe. Yes. Good job. Yes. I thought you were going to get that for sure, and I was screwed. No, no. It's probably the Monty Python movie I know least because that one I've only seen once. I've seen Meaning of Life probably a dozen times and Holy Grail a dozen times.

Terry Jones is the other way around. I'm the other way around. I mean, Monty Python, the Holy Grail is just peeping it. But Life Brands straight after. I just think it is just hilarious. You think that would be the one I'd see the most, right? Life of Brian is an amazing, subversive, incredible piece of work. But I'll tell you what, the other trick is Terry Jones played the mom or the woman in almost every scene.

It's true, yeah. Because he had that how, I'm not being depressed. Like, he just had that whole thing going all the time. He's a very naughty boy. He's a very naughty boy. Oh, that movie's so good. I'm going to watch it again. All right.

By the way, that's another movie that's filmed so well. It's so well filmed. that it actually holds up today. It looks amazing that movie. Oh, I'm sure. Looks great. So Scott stole that. So, Scott, this is your question.

All right. We're going in the Muppet movie. Yay. Oh, sweet. Love the Muppets. Do you all know how to do the Muppet dance? I'm sorry for people that are just listening to this and not watching it. But you hold your arms out straight and you just do that.

And that's the Muppet dance. That's the Muppet dance? Really? Okay. Okay. All right. And that was like, We got a great show for.

you. It's time to put our makeup. That's what it is. All right. Julie Andrews is here. I got everybody. Anyone that grew up on the Muppet show, they got every single celebrity that ever existed,

every music star, every actor, they need to bring, I hope, they've brought it back, I think. Well, they tried to do a thing, but it's not the same. I want them to do just a good old-fashioned variety show,

Muppet Show and have guests on. How about the original? Just like the original, right? Yeah, do that. Bring on, you know, Adam Driver and... Emily Bluntz. Their sort of office take was fine with me. I didn't mind that.

I just don't think it was incredibly well written. Had they written it better? I think it would have been fine, and I would have watched more of it. But more Muppets is the answer. More Muppets. More Muppets. I make people happy, and to me,

a station needs to just race. show, the original Muppet show. It was classic and some young people might learn about these celebrities that didn't know about them. So that would be an educational thing. Well, here in America we have Disney Plus and they have all of them. So there's that.

It's true. Oh, well, there you go. I cancelled them after the Mandalorian. Okay. So the Muppet movie. So who is the first Muppet Kermit encounters on his trip to Hollywood? Is it A, Fosy, B, Gonzo, C, Miss Piggy or D, Scooter? Oh, geez.

Moving right along. So that was the first major scene. So that had to be gone, or not Gonzo. It had to be Fossey because he's in the car with Fuzzy. And I remember as a kid seeing somebody's arm sticking out from Fossey's glove. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't know if it's still in there, but the original cut.

I remember thinking, there's a dude in there. It ruins the dreams and crushes our hopes. I'm pretty sure it's. Fossey was his first. Yep, you're right. Okay. That's exactly right, because he had the car. Yeah, I just remember the two of them without any other Muppets, the two of them for a little bit.

So, yeah, yeah, correct. So Muppet, Kermit had just sung the Rainbow Connection, and again, the first movie had all the celebrities in it. So that was cool. All right. So, Brian, Star Trek's Motion Picture. Sure. All right. Which Starfleet Outpost monitors the Klingon's ill-fated attack

on Veeger. Is it A, Space Station K7, B, Deep Space 9, C, Ippelusion 9, or D, Starbase 2? Oh, geez. All right. Well, I'm ruling out Deep Space 9 right away. That's the only question that I got from the internet, because I just don't know the movie very well. Yeah. Jeez, Louise, this one's tough. It's totally a guess, too, on my part. but I'm trying to reason it out. Can you give me a spelling on that third one just because it feels out of, yeah. All right, E-P-S-L-I-O-N-9. Oh, E-P-S-L-I-O-N-N.

Oh, Absalom. Ex-L-L-E-L-L-A. It felt so out of place that I thought, well, there's no way she'd come up with that as an answer but now you say absolutely. I'm sorry. It just doesn't feel like, like, you know, Appaloosa 17 didn't feel like a real. She can't come up with creating names. I'm just thinking you wouldn't, you wouldn't come up with the name that sounds that difficult to spell. I'll keep going, Brian. It's getting better. Yeah, really, yes. How much more on my foot? Let's go for the other foot now. Why don't you call me stupid? All right. I'm going to say it's absolutely.

on nine. Yes, correct. Yeah, of course it is. There you go. Bottom line, yes, of course that one is. No, I didn't know that. No, I didn't know it. I was just, I was, I was sussing it out in the exact same where you were and I was sure that that had to have been it because of this feeling. That's just part of the strategy. It's all good.

Yeah, it totally is. It totally is, yes. Yeah, well, as I said, that was the only question that I had to steal from the internet. So, okay, so Scott, hang on, was that a steal? No. No. Okay, so Scott, number 13. This is the musical hair. Let the sunshine. Okay, so who directed this musical anti-war comedy drama? Was it A, Sydney Lomette, B, Milos Forman, C. John Casabettys, or D. Hal Ashbury?

Oh. I'm a big fan of Milos Forman. Same, huge fan. Yeah. I like one-flow. Amadais is a masterpiece. I think one-flip. over the cuckoo's nest as well, right?

Absolutely. And also... For you by Michael Douglas. Man in the Moon with Jim Carrey. Oh, really? Yeah, one of his late productions. Oh, watch the making of that. Oh, yeah.

He's in the making of that? Oh, my gosh. Jim Carrey would knock it out of character. No, he's like... He still thinks that Andy Kaufman lives in him. Yeah. Yeah, he's gone. Yeah, he went full.

That was a hell of a thing. All right, let's go with... All right, so Sidney Lamette, my gosh, Foreman, John Cassavetti's, or Hal Ashbury directing hair. Let's say Foreman, Milosh Foreman. Correct. Good.

I had no idea for real, but I just love him, so there you. Yeah, I wasn't sure either. That was the one I'd be leaning towards, though. Nick Cassavetes would have been later. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know I would have gone Hal Ashbury for a reason, but I knew because I like hair and, okay, so Brian. Wait, did I see Nick Cassidy that is?

I said Nick, didn't I? You said, you did, yes. You know who that is. That's his son, and he was in face-off. Right. Right. Yeah, look at me. All right, go ahead, sorry.

Yeah, look at you. Welcome to our third hour of trivia on T-N-M-S. Oh, it's short. Stop winging. Okay. So, number 14, this is Brian, and then you're nearly even so we can do a tie-off. All right. So Norma Ray.

Thank you, boys. Love that movie, eh? Yeah, actually, I saw that one in theaters, believe it or not. Oh, my God. Okay. Sweet. So where does Norma Ray work? Is it A, a nuclear power plant, B, a coal mining plant, C, a cotton mill, or D, a wind farm?

I think, I mean, I remember them making fabric, so I think it's a cotton mill. Yes, correct. Nice, look done. Her friend who, her friend gets his arm caught in the sewing machine, so. Yeah, she like union. Yep, and then she starts up union. And then she says, you like me, you really like me. Never saw it.

Yeah, when she got her Academy Award, her first Academy Award. Yeah. I didn't think you liked me before, but now I know you like really. Now I know you like me. Yeah. And then she comes on and says, now you only like me as a friend. Okay, well, that's fun. Yeah.

It's not a, you know. She's a crazy little bit, but she was hot in Smaky and the Bandit. She was. It was a little haughty. Yeah, she was. She was great. Yeah, and Gidgett. Yeah, and Gidgett.

And the Gidgett movies. She's in the Gidgett movies. She was. Yeah. Yeah. Didn't you know that? Wait, I thought you named yourself after her. No?

No, no. Gidgett goes Hawaiian is another actress. I can't. Oh, that wasn't Sally Field? No, it wasn't Sally Field. Oh, she was the flying none. Gidgett was a different thing, right? Flying Nunn was Sally Field.

She was Gidgett on TV. Sally Field did play Gidgett. That's what it was. Yes. Okay. So there is a Gidgett connection. I wasn't completely out of mind. There is.

There is. We're bonded, Sally. We are bonded. Okay. So, right, it's the first in. This is not multiple choice. It's the first in. Okay.

Which means scouts can go, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah, of course he is. Of course he is. You go to bed, get, get them. Okay, so expect that from Scott. All right. Who plays George Weber in the Blake Edwards comedy film 10? Dudley Moore.

Oh, shit. Correct. just dang it I did that that's for me not you you got it right yeah well done

okay so if anyone's got the score in the tad pool I can quickly go through and try and count it but that's really boring yeah I'm pulling tad pool up it was pretty even actually because you both stole questions

off each other yeah and actually that's one thing I predicted when my partner Colonel Kickhead said this is this is really tough I said the good thing is the tougher it is it goes to the other person.

Yeah. So it makes more interesting. We did 15 total chat, and I don't think anyone kept track. Looked like nobody did. I have an idea that you've all let down the ball. You're all incredibly disappointing. You should all be ashamed of yourself. I think we ended up pretty close, if not tied.

I think so, too. Very close. Yeah, I think we stole. I'll count it later, and next time I'm back, I'll say who won. They're all piling on me because that's what they do, but I think we tied. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I think so. We'll figure it out.

We'll tie it up until the tiebreaker. Someone will get real obsessive about it and find out for us and tell us. In the meantime, we need to find out more about where we can find more Gidgett. She has a film shows and all sorts of stuff. So Gidgett, where should people go to get their stuff? I'm as busy as a one-legged man than ass kicking contest, I can tell you. So we've got retro cinema. We just released our top 10 80s movies with animals.

Then before that, we did Cobra. Before that, we did Hellraiser. Hellraiser is just going gangbusters, which is great. I just appeared on movie reviews in 20 Q's with Sam over there in New Zealand, also with Paul from the Countdown podcast, and we talked to everything, Escape from New York. Oh, that's great. But just look, I'm a co-host of The Retro Cinema with Angry Man. Just type the Retro Cinema podcast into Google. You'll find us.

And you can talk to me on Twitter as well, but it's Gidgett G-I-D-G-I-T, not E-T. Not E-T, not phone home, but the other way. No, no phone home. Or a clown under the sewer. We're all floating down here. That's right. Oops, I cut her off. We all float down under.

Are they even allowed to work to podcast with New Zealanders if you're in Australia? I thought those guys hate each other. Isn't there a full war going on between? I don't think so, is there? I don't know. I have no idea. Is New Zealand Australia's exile island? It might be.

It very well might be. All right. We're going, I'm going to make an executive call today. Yeah. Because we're almost at time. Let's see. How do I want to do this? You know what?

We're going to go a little longer. That's what we're going to do. We're going to take a song break, which, by the way, is brought to you by Coverville. You want to tell everybody what's going on today? Yeah, today, a special episode, a tribute to Dusty Hill. So Zizi Top bassist Dusty Hill passed away yesterday. So I scrambled a really quick set of Zizi Top covers. I'll probably do a bigger Zizi Top episode soon, but I wanted to get something on there.

Um, also Tony Bennett and Martha and the Vandela's, uh, Martha Reeves and Tony Bennett also celebrating birthdays. So, um, it should be a nice wide across the board kind of stuff. You get your, your, your, your, uh, your, uh, female fronted 50s, 60s, um, band. And you've got a tribute to Zizi Top. So there's something for everybody today. One p.m. Mountain Time. Twitch.tv slash coverville. Excellent. Let's play a song. Take a break and come back with Bobby and moment what do you have yeah this is great this this song is so good so they sent me a track but then i listened to that track and said i'm going to go get the whole album and i usually just say i'm going to stream it but uh i went ahead and picked it up so i could i could uh i don't know why

i picked it up uh you know i look back why did i pick it up because i have it on streaming but no i wanted this so it is um from chicago a uh musician named waltzer she performs under the name waltzer she just really a cover of 10 cc's i'm not in love but her debut album time traveler came out earlier this year that's actually what we're going to be playing something from here's the song lantern by walzer okay walter uh we'll be back in a moment sorry i thought there was more and i waited for it and wasn't it felt like i was going to say the album name again but i didn't it's all good it's all good here it is enjoy I read all the books on the halfway though my attention span is a swinging lines and reading up a blinded needle

All your base are belong to us. All right, we're back. Brian, that song again was. That song is Lantern by Walter from her debut album Time Traveler. is a polymath from Chicago. Nice. Let's get into some science. Okay.

Yeah. How about some science? Because I think science is cool. I do too. I think science makes you go poo-poo or whatever it is. Let's find out what it says. I think science. I'll make you go poo-poo.

I agree. It's Bobby Frankenberger joining us from South Carolina, where he houses all the science. He keeps it right there so that you don't have to. And, uh, He's looking around like, wait, I do. Giving us our green pie witch today. Where is the science? Yeah, where is the science?

Where's the science? Normally we'd have Bobby early on a Thursday, but I got things a little mixed up today. We don't have winning today, so we're going to dive into a little science news. In fact, it's a good time for this because some stuff went down with, I don't know, some people see it as a reversion or a, you know, or whatever. Some people see it as a further reaction to people who won't get vaccinated, so I got to do masks again, even if you are vaccinated and, boy, we sure are dancing around the people that refuse to get vaccinated.

If you notice that, we're doing that a lot there, Bobby, what do you think of that? What do you think of that feeling? I don't know. Man, just get the vaccine, man. Yeah, what are you waiting for? It's not that big a deal. Like, you need one thing if you, okay, let's say this. If somebody said to me, I just feel in my heart of hearts that I just can't do it.

I can't get the vaccine for whatever your reasons are. And I would say, well, okay, then that means you're going to, what, double down on other methods of being careful and protecting those around you. Like, you're going to, you're going to wear masks more, you're going to social distance more, you're going to, you know, those kinds of things. Well, no, I'm not going to do that either. This is my problem. Yeah. This is my problem. Like, you don't, I don't think it's just the vaccine and I don't just think it's those other things separately.

I think you just don't want to do shit that'll help everybody. That's what I think. So do things that will help everybody. All right, that's my rant. It doesn't make it any easier. I'm going to redirect you back into a rant. I know this will happen. Point and focus, Scott, in a single direction.

That's right. Well, the reason I say that is because I think the real problem is that the Republican Party has like basically made not getting the vaccine part of their platform. like that's that's a problem and that's where a lot of this is going now we've hit this like vaccine hesitancy wall but i don't even like calling it vaccine hesitancy anymore as much because i feel like when you say you're vaccine i sympathize with people who are hesitant to get the vaccine like like because it's scary and and we and you know this is big time first thing of its kind it seems like or at least as is quite publicly emergency use authorization. People aren't used to that. They don't know what it means.

They're scared of a little tiny needle. Totally makes sense. Yeah, that's it. It's just the needle. I can sympathize with those people. There's lots of cultural reasons why people are afraid to get it with different groups of people being, you know, taking advantage of historically in medical situations. You know, like there's lots of reasons that people would be hesitant. But this political thing, that's not hesitancy. That's ideology. And that's a problem. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. There's nothing I can go. I mean, I could go off more, but that's really my biggest problem with it is I know that I know that that's the reason and that's the

only reason. People are playing teams here and there's no team to be at here. The team is either the sick and the dying or human race or not. Yeah, or don't. Like, and so that's my biggest complaint. Look, as somebody who grew up in, you know, a relatively conservative family in a very conservative state and has voted for Republicans in the past, I get, I get that they're, you know, I understand that some of those basic divisions. This shouldn't be one. This shouldn't be one. Do you leave your coffee on the other side of the room, Bobby? Is that? I've got a curig right over there, you know. Oh, look at you. Just finished.

Oh, look at you. Fancy Keirig. I had to wake up, you know, every time Gidgett's on, I just take a nap. That's what everybody does, right? Well, you'd have enough time to have a nice. Nice good snooze. That's right. But anyway, whatever. We'll stop talking about politics, but it's a problem because it shouldn't be political. It never was meant to be. It was made to be, and you're all dumb suckers for believing it.

So moving on. Now we got Delta variant, which is, you know, dangerous and more virulent, more easier to catch and spread and also harsher in the symptoms. Other variants could come down the line, and there already are some others, but, you know, worse ones than Delta, potentially if we continue to not get this taken care of because that's the nature of viruses they mutate and you got to, you know, you got to get out ahead of this thing. So back come the mask.

Brian was talking about how when he goes to California or to Disneyland here coming up, he's going to be back to masks are back on, masks being back on, which was just announced today, I guess. Yeah, just this morning I woke up hearing that Disneyland and Disney World have mandated masks indoors again. So here you are. It's all right. Here you are, Brian. You're going to wear masks.

But again, Brian's vaccinated. It doesn't mean he can't 100% not get the virus, but it does so far suggest that he will suffer less as a result because the vaccines are effective also against the harshest. It may not require hospitalization or something were to happen. All of that stuff. But even let's see you go and you're flying free and all that. Once again, Brian's wearing masks because other people won't freaking get the thing done. Well, or they're under, keep in mind, Disneyland, a lot of kids, under 12, can't get the vaccine. That's true.

And so, you know, that's another reason to do it is just got to keep the kids. Oh, let me ask you this, Bobby, why is it that we don't have widespread, like, state mandates, even in states that are highly vaccinated to get the kids done? Is it because we're waiting for FDA approval? Because it is different. Children's bodies and brains and everything else are different. Some further testing required, and I think that's good. But at some point, it's a little bit of.

a race against the clock, right? Like, what's holding that? Yeah, that's exactly the reason. They have to slowly roll out all the testing for all that. They always test these kinds of things in healthy adults first. They don't even test it in like at-risk populations. It's always healthy adults first

and then once enough data is in that says that it's going to be okay. And keep in mind, this is also being even more carefully rolled out because it's technically not authorized by the FDA yet. It's just emergency youth use authorized.

So, yeah, they, in the middle of Pfizer, I know, has, is almost done with their, with their testing in children that are like infant age up to age 11. They're just about done with that. I think they're preparing their data. I say done, but what I mean is that they've almost got enough data or they might just now have enough data to submit. for emergency use approval by the FDA. So people are expecting to see Pfizer vaccines going out to kids probably maybe late September, but probably more like October, November, ish. And then, and then, you know, Moderna will be soon after that because they started a little bit

later and then from there. So probably by January, we should be seeing wide vaccination of young children. So do you expect, based on what you've read and seen, that we'll see more of these precautions kicked back into place more before than we will after? In other words, like, we're not, we're just, let me rephrase that. Are we heading back to like massive societal shutdown again because of this delta variant? Or do you think this is going to be more of a dial it back a little? Don't, you know, mass are still important and blah, blah, blah.

It's complicated. I do have my thoughts about that, but I want to make sure people know that that nobody official is saying what's going to happen. So this is just my speculation. But it feels very much like the CDC is doing what they do. didn't do the first time, which is, and they're under new leadership and everything, so you would expect them probably to do things differently, which is that they're slowly, carefully, um, putting, uh, advice and caution into place as things change. Um, that's why they just reversed on the mask mandate. Uh, new information is coming in saying, apparently they haven't released the data. They said they're going to. soon, which is frustrating in and of itself. But that's a different conversation. But they're slowly doing that.

It looks like, I mean, if you look at the numbers, the COVID case numbers are rising. We're back up to where we were about this time last year. But there are lots of factors. We're about to hit into, I mean, not about to. We're still in the middle of the summer. But, you know, as fall and winter come around, those are cold seasons and or cold weather you know so that's typically when viruses like this start to to spread more so we'd expect that to happen maybe more variants come out and and develop but also kids are going to go back to

school so we don't know what the spread of that is going to look like so to me it feels very much like we're headed in that direction however um the other thing to think about and and and this is why it's complicated and we don't know is that yes the curve of the number of cases seems to be going back up and looking very much like it used to but the curve of the number of deaths and hospitalizations is still very low and that is almost certainly because of the vaccine that the vaccines that are out right now right interesting yeah we're seeing what hundreds of deaths per day rather than thousands or tens of thousands right or isn't even Oh, my gosh. It's very, very low. And the people who are being hospitalized, I think the last number I saw was 99%. This is not like just someone off the top of their head just throwing out an exaggerated number. Like literally, 99% of hospitalizations are people that are unvaccinated.

Yeah. So the vaccine- Sadly, that's still not enough proof for people. the vaccine does work yeah and and so a lot of people are talking about breakthrough infections you hear people talk about that a lot lately like know someone who had the vaccine and they still got sick but there's a couple of things you have to keep in mind to to put that into perspective first of all you're it it probably seems like a lot more breakthrough infections are happening than really are I'm not saying that they're not happening they absolutely are but the reason it probably seems like it is because

Everyone who's heard of someone who knows someone who had a breakthrough infection is talking about it. So they're like, oh, yeah, I know this person and I know this person who told me that they know someone else. And so you hear it all the time. It's still a lower chance breakthrough infections. Also, and I don't have hard numbers on this, but I think a majority of those breakthrough infections are happening from the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. And it's just, it was, and we always knew, it was a somewhat less effective. vaccine. It's still very effective. Still better than not having one at all.

But we're just seeing breakthrough infections. And the other thing to put it into perspective is that, and we've already said this once, that you should still get the vaccine even if you knew, somehow you could tell the future and you knew

that you were going to get a breakthrough infection. When I say breakthrough infection, of course, if you don't know, that means you have the vaccine, but you get COVID anyway. So even if you knew you were going to get COVID after you got the vaccine, you should still get the vaccine because the severity of your symptoms will be a lot less. Yeah. And that's the other thing I wanted to ask you about real quick. There was talk that I don't have any like actual link to point to or anything, but I read somewhere on the internet that the Pfizer vaccine might be less.

effective against Delta than say Moderna. Is there anything to that? I know there was some Israeli study, something going on. It's a little bit less effective. It's still, so you'll hear ranges of numbers between the effectiveness of the vaccine. So Pfizer in particular, right now they're talking about, it's 64 to 96% effective.

The reason you see such a big range is for a couple of reasons. First, the lower end ranges are sometimes because they're talking about a single if you have a single dose of the vaccine. But also because lots of people are studying it. So some studies are going to see lower effectiveness. Some studies are going to see higher. The science is still shaking out. So we have to say what the range is because we don't know specifically because the science is still coming through.

The Israeli study that you're talking about is. I'm loosely alluding to without any actual knowledge of it. that one you mean yeah yeah the uh there was a there was an israeli report i actually looked it up because you asked me about this a minute ago so yeah there's a there's a israeli study that suggested that the fizer declines in effectiveness after six months oh that's what they're talking their thing and that's something that everyone expects of the vaccines anyway the news there is not that it's declining the news is that it was after six months because we didn't know when that was going to start. And when they say declining, it's more, it's something like,

well, when you, two months after you got the vaccine, it was, you know, 95% effective. And I think after six months, they're just showing that it's more like 80, the low 80% effective. So it's declining, sure, but it's still very effective. So the boosters are in the future, you figure? That's happening. It's like sooner than later. Yeah. There's definitely going to be boosters. FISA's already. looking at putting one together. Here's the thing. We, a few months ago, we were in a race. And it was going to be either we get everyone vaccinated or before the Delta variant became really, really big, or we didn't.

And the Delta variant won that race. And that's it. The results are in. The Delta variant won that race. and that's where we are now. And so it's likely that we're going to continue to see this happening in some respect into next year. It's how bad it's going to be is yet to be seen. We don't know.

The more people who get vaccinated, the less it'll be. Once we start seeing kids getting vaccinated, that's going to be different too, because we do have almost 70% of adults vaccinated. Which is pretty good. You'll often see a much lower number than that in percentage of the population in the U.S. You'll see like below 50%. And that's because they're taking into account. They're adding children who can't get the vaccine into that.

So that's where we are. All right. We're almost certainly going to see boosters in our future. And that's not unusual. That's, that's, this was always. on the books as something that was probably going to happen. It's just now we know it's almost certainly going to happen.

Put it in my veins. Let's go. I'm ready. Yeah. Give me. Give me. Give it to me. Right now the question is what's the booster going to look like? Do we get another booster of the same vaccine? Pfizer's trying to make it so that, and the reason why it's not already happening that we're just

loading up another shot of the same vaccine, which would help. the reason we're not doing that is because they're trying to they want to design a booster that's going to take the delta variant more into account you know right well more as we move along

I think it's good to sort of you know be informed stay informed and this stuff changes quickly and sometimes that requires some discussion so that's why we did it today and I'm really glad we did I'm glad we figured out a way to have you and Gidgett on today because that makes me happy Bobby tell people where they

can get more of your scientific knowledge and entertainment. I am very entertaining. Every week we do the science podcast, All Around Science. You can get that. It's just called All Around Science. Go to All Around Science.com or get it from a podcast place. This past week, the Monday episode that we just did, speaking of COVID, I just did a whole episode about a woman, a homeopath.

in California, who was just arrested by the federal government for trying to give people magic pills claiming that they will give you lifelong immunity to COVID. Oh, that's quite the claim she had there. Seems like that would be a hard one to, you know, that's a particular, that's a kind of snake oil. It feels like I know on the surface might be bull crap, but, you know. Homeopathy, that's what the episode is really about is, or the majority of it is about, is talking about what is homeopathy. And just to give you the quick one-sentence thing,

homeopathy is witchcraft and it doesn't work. But we go into details about why and what they claim that it does and all that in the episode. So listen to that. I get pretty angry in it. It's a good week for anger on podcasts. I've learned. It's the time to do it.

This week, an internet outrage. Yeah, internet we've got them about in the video games here. There might be a little bit of angry going around. All right. Well, that is awesome. People should check it out. You also have a really great TikTok channel that I always run into every time I open it up. And there's Bobby telling me something cool.

And you also got that whole, there's like not a trend, but there's a thing on TikTok where people walk while they tell you a thing. Bobby does this and I love it. I love it. That's great. I like to time it where I walk and then like at the exact moment when you need the prop. You happened to show up right next to the prop. Yeah, you just arrive at the prop, and his hair's flowing like Jesus. It's amazing.

You guys got to see it. Anyway, Bobby, it's always a pleasure. Have a fantastic week, and we'll see you next time. Bye now. See you. All right. Very good. I like Bobby a lot.

I do, too. It's a good guy. Good guy that Bobby. Yeah. Modern snake oil is my least favorite snake oil. At least back in the day, it was a guy in a top hat and a really nice butt. down he'd pull into town with his horse cart and you go ladies and gentlemen are you tired of your bursitis or whatever and people would line up and you'd go why this soil made of snakes and

bullshit is the trick for you and it was like I don't know there was a purity to that scam that now it gets dressed up in like ooh a multi-million dollar multi-level marketing company with a huge building they must be real because they got money like it's so much worse now you have to go so much further to fool people back in the day was just like ah that guy in horse cardigan with the Bersitus claims. Plus, you know, back then, a snake oil was made with all natural ingredients, and it's just gotten so

commercialized and synthetic these days. I like my snake oil made with actual snake and not fake snake. Yeah, I like real snakes. Real snake. All right. We're done with the show today. That's the show that we've done. And we want to thank you guys for being here. Big thanks, and thanks for

Hey, Scott and Brian, could you play a cover of Smells Like Team, Teen Spirit by Mali Adjay? This is the version that plays during the opening credits of Black Widow. And I think it's just awesome and I really think it sets the tone for the movie. Totally does.

I completely agree. Didn't know that was in there. That's cool. Yeah, maybe that's enough. to get you to watch it. I don't know. Maybe. Just kidding. No specific date for the request. You can just squeeze it in wherever there's a gap, even if it's a TMSPM. Love the show, though. Wait, we're still doing that meme? And maybe Scott can play Daryl's You guys sound kind of sparkly. Oh, I should find that and play it. It's just under

the word, sparkly. Here it is. I found it. You guys sound kind of sparkly. Yeah, I'll never forget. Never forget. He's naked when he's talking to us that day. He was naked. Oh, yeah. We don't need a reminder of that. I know. Thanks, guys. You're awesome. Jason, aka Free Rangers in the chat. Well, Jason, yeah, happy to get this one out for you. This is from the brand new Black Widow film. It's a single that Mali A.J. released.

It is a cover of Nirvana's smells like teen spirit. Fantastic. It's a deodorant. Try it today. All right. We'll be back Monday. No, Saturday. We got our play date. Oh, right. That's this. That is, wow. That is Saturday. Is it after film sec, right? Right, right?

Correct. Okay. So next week, or next week, two days from now. Maybe we'll even get Randy or Brian to join us. Yeah, we'll totally encourage them to hang around if they want to play. But we'll be doing the play date. And some of you've been begging for more among us. Maybe we'll do that again.

You know, I'm going to agree a second that request. Because we haven't played among us in a long time. Yeah, and they got a new map and some other stuff. We'll get in there. But anyway, that'll be Saturday at right around. noon, I guess, is right here, usually when we start. 11.30 noon, somewhere around. Something like that.

So we look forward to seeing you then. That means no PM tomorrow, but we'll get back Monday with a regular show. Of course, FilmSack this weekend. And TWBD is off for the week. We just finished the season. So we always take a break between seasons, season three starting soon. And is that all there is? I'm sure there's other shit.
