M.S. D. M.S.S. D. The morning stream. Where man is made whole. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream. It's Wednesday, August 4th. It's 2021. I'm Scott Johnson. It's Brian. It's Brian. Hello. Is this it? Is this all there is today? We're doing a show. It's going to have stuff in it. No, we're happy to be here. It's nice to see everybody. Got a nice full chat room today. We don't always call them out of the beginning of the show.

We're often just distracted by them, but I don't know. I just noticed how active they are today. Look at them all. They are. Yeah. Well, it also, this theme brings it out of them. You know, the most ardent chat rumor. Yeah.

When this song comes on, they have to go in and start typing T-M-S. Yeah. They can't avoid it. No. It's a biological imperative that they play along. Yep, it is. It totally is. I noticed that even when you were checking sounds for the top of the show, you played,

you were like setting up the theme and a couple other sounders, and you played just the T. Oh, right. People typed in T. That's right. It's like Pavlov's dog in there. You're right. Sometimes I'll test. And all it takes is that.

And they'll start going. Oh, man. Look at all the teas. See, look at that. Look at that. And they're only doing the tea. That's amazing. Yeah.

All right. Well, that's what you call high tea. That's, I call that Pavlov's a bunch of, this is the biggest Pavlov's kennel. It's Pavlov's kennel, Brian. Pavlov's kennel. Yes. We're going to move on to talk about things. We've got stuff.

Speaking of dogs. All Pavlov's dogs go to heaven. Yes. I have a, I have a, or I have a, I have a, I have a, I have a, I have a good news. and I have a story that it was almost bad news. Oh, okay. All right. Last night, my wife at about seven said,

hey, I'm going to go see the neighbor. She got me some kind of Brazilian spice, something, something. This neighbor who's from Brazil, and she always gets her these really cool things. She's like, yeah, she's got this for me. I'm going to pop over there and just see how she's doing. We're like, okay, her husband's out of town. Good to check in.

It's her and her 14-year-old daughter. So I'm going to go check on her. So she goes over there. And she forgets her phone. She doesn't take her phone. Okay. Seven turns into eight. And it's supposed to be like what I thought was like a 10 minute, you know,

quickie kind of stop by. Seven turns to eight, eight turns to nine. Nine turns to almost 10. And I'm like, oh my God. I was gone for three hours. What is what is this? Does she get stuck in a D&D game? Like what happened over there?

So Carter and I decide to just walk over and check and make sure everything's okay. And so we go over there to check. And she's in there. We see her wave. at us. And she just got caught up in conversation. They were just talking. It's fine. Whatever. But she came down and opened the door. And when she did, their gigantic dog of, I don't know what breed, but it's big

enough to be a horse. It's not a great dame, but it's something in that range of size. Huge dog. Really sweet dog, Molly is her name, very highly trained, except when it comes to people she doesn't know or trust yet. So we get there. She sees us at the door. runs down park park park park park park park park and then jumped out a little bit and then looked at us

and we looked at her and i said do you want to go back in the house and she ran a little further and i went no no no let's come back in this townhouse let's go back okay so then carter had this idea says like why don't you go around from the rear and we'll zone her in we'll box her in so she can't leave any further and she'll hopefully come back up to the door so i go around the rear the of the dog and she's none of this will get used by Jamie none of it it'll be fine yeah I'm sure there'll be zero innuendo coming out of this

it'll be fine I mean geez even that will get used wrong but anyway right so I go around this dog and I'm kind of you know Lyle Lel Zado over there looking like I'm going to block her if she runs or whatever and it's working she's starting to come toward Carter and away from me

she doesn't like the tall the tall man fellow that's there sure sure so she goes back up to the door and it looks like she's ready to burst into the door, and Carter goes to open the door to get her in, but can't figure out this stupid door handle's weird, and she didn't push down the right thing. And she's like, oh, no, I can't get in. The dog panics, runs my direction and slam. I thought I was, like, in a blocker, and she would just like, oh, okay, I'll just go the other way.

Slams into my left leg. I got a nice little tooth mark here on my shin. It didn't bite me, but it went like, wham. It just hit me with its teeth, trying to get past me. and it did and then it ran off to who knows where in the dark

and all night all night tonight I've been worried that they're never going to find that dog because she won't come to me I'm like out there yelling

like she's going I'm the reason she's running and Carter can't help it so now you know lady and her daughter are out yelling for

and trying to find her I got told this morning they did they found her she was just up the road and everything's fine but man I hate those moments

where you're like am I responsible for the lost death car accident. Right. Oh, my God. No caller or anything, right? No. Well, I don't know, maybe. That's actually a good point. She may have had a collar on. I don't know. But even if she had, this is a household where the dog is named Molly.

They had a dog before this, also a larger dog. That dog also was called Molly. That dog got out in a similar fashion, ran out in the street and got hit by a truck and died. Oh, geez. So you can imagine. Shades of Mali 2.0. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was like, well, I don't want to be part of this.

I don't want to be the reason that she's out. So I was freaking out all night. Anyway, the bottom line is blame my wife. She went over there too long. That's her fault. Yes. Blame. But it didn't take her phone.

Shame on. Shame. Shame. Shame. All right. Shame. Shame. The Game of the Game of Thrones season that seemed like we were going to have the greatest finale ever.

then after that it got bad. Yeah. That shows weird. I don't understand what happened there. All right. Let me get to this email here. We got an email. Yeah.

It's from Cormac McCarthy. Just kidding. It's just from somebody named Cormac. He says... I like that name, too. It's not a common name, Cormac. Cormac is not common. I know the author, Cormac McCarthy, and I know...

Well, I don't know him, but I know of him, and I know... Sure. Maybe one other Cormac. You know another Cormac? Okay. But I think it's a famous Cormac, and I can't remember. Or maybe it's like a... an alien name.

Cormac, tell your people to stand down or something. You're not thinking of Cormac the Magnificent. Johnny Carson, because that's Carnack. No, not him. Who am I thinking of? Famous Cormac. Because it's going to have McCarthy. I read the Brode four times.

I love that book. Cormac McClagan. Let's see. Here's some. Oh, it's a Harry Potter character. Oh, is that what I'm, maybe I'm thinking of that. Yeah, it could be. Okay.

I might be thinking of that. Cormack McClagan. There is a Cormack. A member of the McClagin family. There are some other names that sound very Irish. There's Cormac O'Brien and Cormac McDermott. Well, sure. Yeah.

And Cormac, Kinney, McKinney. I guess they're all... We're going to get a letter from a Scottish listener saying, that's not how you pronounce Cormac. Yeah, you don't say it that way. Anyway, okay, so there was a Cormack. He played Quidditch in the books. Okay, that's probably what I'm thinking of.

Anyway, Cormac. Was it Irish? Is Cormac Irish? Okay, thank you. Is it Irish? All right. I thought it was Irish. I didn't want to assume because I figured getting yelled at by you for lumping him into Ireland would get worse.

But no, I'd still get all caps either way. Well, that was a 50-50 deal because I was saying Irish. You were saying Scottish and one of us was going to be wrong. That's right. It probably could have been. It could have easily been me. So don't feel bad. I'm sure.

My turn will be coming right around the bend here. uh cormac wrote in about bad smells we were talking about the melons that reek from your from one of your trivia questions the oh yeah the the the the melon related poisonies the food poisonings yeah oh yeah that's right when then we got to talking about how some of them stink real bad or whatever yeah yeah yeah well anyway cormac says hello i'm a short time listener who's been listening since the start of the pandemic i love the show and it's helped me cope with insomnia i thank you guys for that i really appreciate everyone in frog pants and i just wanted to ask uh is it possible to make an RSS. Oh, this isn't the bad

smells. I was just saying there's nothing in this email about bad smells. I thought you were just saying something personal about corn there. You know what I did? No, I effed up. I pasted the, if you know it in our end times today, there's another email that is exactly this. That's what I was supposed to go. I posted, I thought I copied and

pasted the right one. Damn it. All right. Well, it doesn't matter. I want to answer this guy's email. So I just wanted to ask it possibly can us RSS fee with the full archives of the podcast. The listener I have right now, a podcast addict doesn't have the archive on it. it and I can't find an RSS feed. Is this possible? If it's not possible, totally fine. Thank you so much. Love the show. Well, Cormac, good news. It's totally possible. Not only is it

possible, it's up and available. All you got to do is go to the website, frogpants.com slash TMS. Is for anybody out there who's like, where's all the old ones? Go in there. You'll see a whole bunch of stuff, but under the Get the Show link, there's a bunch of links in one of them, or two of them maybe, because I think I have two archives now because we've got so big. Yeah, you had to break out the second one. So all you do is right click, or if you're on your phone, just, you know, long press and then, you know. Use your right hand to tap. Right.

Save the URL, the link, copy it to your clipboard. They call that anymore? Copy it to your clipboard. I don't think they do. Sure, sure. Copy it to your clipboard. I don't think we say that anymore. Anyway, take that and paste that into that podcast addict out.

it supports that. I've used it. They all do. So you can make a manual, you can make a manual subscription on your podcast app. And you'd be all set. Add from URL, I think, is the command. Yeah, I think it depends on the app, but most of them are pretty consistent. Yeah, downcast might be, or overcast actually might be the one that uses. Yeah, yeah. From URL, I can't remember. Fair enough. Adhesive Wombat says, not for nothing, but the URL triggered a security error in Firefox.

really what's that about it's just raw or assess feed it's nothing crazy anyway uh good luck to you and that's nothing about smells i did add some malware code to that i hope you don't mind oh that's right you told me you might and i forgot yeah i was just thinking of it was just like yeah see if i can uh should i do it to one of my own feeds now let's let's try it on that one yeah i mean this if i had paid more attention okay i found this guy's email about bad smells because i didn't want to leave him out of church this is david uh and david says here we go, howdy scent and bouquet. I see what you did there.

Because smells, see? See? I was listening to the show this afternoon and had to comment on the discussion of bad smells. I worked in a grocery business for over 20 years. Most of that time was fresh produce and had to tell you that some of the most foul things I've ever smelled have been rotten tomatoes. Potatoes, sorry.

That came out wrong. You're thinking of the website for rating films. Yeah, that's finding out if your film is rotten or fresh. right he says also rotten watermelon bad watermelon is horrendous and so comparable

to rotting meat that it can be hard to tell them apart think about that next time you take a big juicy bite love the show David yeah

yeah I always thought that that would be the least offensive of them all because they just become like you said yesterday kind of mealy mealy grainy

but I guess we don't we usually don't let it go that far right where, you know, once it gets mealy grainy, we just toss it. But I think if we just let it go even further, it starts smelling like rotten meat. Yeah, that's gross. That's really gross. Yeah, that is totally gross.

I'm not interested with thumbs down. And I give that a 1% on rotten potatoes. Why is there? Maybe there is one. Let's see. Has someone made a rotten potatoes like a... That'd be great. Rotten potatoes.

Hold on. I'm sure it's an Irish site. Oh. I think it goes to rotten tomatoes.com. Oh, really? I think they may have gotten the URL. Oh, that's brilliant if they got that one. Yeah, let's see.

Oh, Sidion, I said that joke right before you typed in the chat room, by the way. Yeah. Yeah, sorry. Sorry, man. Citing, you're fast, but you're no, you're no brunt of it. Well, also, there's seven-second delay. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, so the point is, the point is, don't have a rotten watermelon.

And also, I saw a TikTok video, ironically, last night. no relation to this, but I guess it's related. There was a dude with a melon on his counter and he was concerned and he said to his wife, something smells bad. I don't know what it is, but this melon you got stinks. She goes, he's like, smell it. And she's like, it's fine, it's fine.

He goes, I'm not any touching that melon. Something's wrong. She's like, no, it's fine. And he takes out a knife, Brian, and goes, look, and goes, shunk with the knife. That thing exploded like a rotting goat head. Just like liquid horror just poured out of it all over the table and the floor and everything.

There was nothing solid about it. And he was recording this to tell, like, prior to it exploding, he said, I'm going to record me telling my wife that this melon smells. Yeah, he picked up the phone. It picked up right when he said, this thinks, this smells real bad. Yeah. And then she pulled out the knife and did it. And the only reason I think it must be real and not set up is who would do that to their kitchen.

like well it's gross it was so Airbnb Airbnb what time is checkout three great let's do a TikTok video 259 have you you've done an Airbnb before right yeah yeah did you how was that experience I've never done one oh it's totally fine it's it's like in every case

yeah this place that we just went to and Glenwood Springs was an Airbnb and it was fantastic this like house up on top overlooking all the mountains. I put up photos of the view from this place. It was amazing. The only ones I've ever done are ones where you get a key from

a box or from maybe you go and pick it up from the owner. I've never done one where you're just in a different part of the house but you use the same entrance as the owner. I don't know how many of those are there or they're like that, but it's been a

fine experience it's like staying in you're like you're staying in somebody's house and uh all the ones that have been really good uh they've all had like a couple snacks in the fridge a thing of bottled water um yeah i i i don't mind it one bit did you ever um do you ever look at like a stuffed bear and go i think there's a camera in that thing's eyes or anything i do i'm not going to lie I do kind of go around and look for things that might be cameras or recording devices. Ever since it was a movie that we just saw that had Allison Brie and the rental, I think it's called. And it's exactly that. It's like a serial killer that sets up cameras in his Airbnb and then murders.

Well, you always hear these horror stories. Like, oh, we found five cameras in the bedroom and they were all pointing right at us the whole time. We didn't know. and then, you know, the law is sent after the owners and whatever. But I always assume that's probably a, you know, low case of whatever. You know, and whatever. Listen, if they want to record me taking a shower or stepping out of the bathtub to hop on the toilet or whatever, good for them.

I think the joke's on them when they... Yeah, but what if they got a camera that does zoom and close up on you switching out one of your wiener rings that you have for your piercing down there? Oh, yeah, well, I don't do that in Airbnb. I do that. Like, it depends on how long I'm going to be gone, but if I can, I do that in a Taco Bell bathroom. Yeah, because you've got to swap those rings out. For the sanitary reasons. You can't speak to any of your ten magical rings.

You've got to be careful which one you're wondering about. That's right, yes. Yeah. By the way, I'm hearing the commercial pronounces it Shang Chi and not Shang Chi. Like we've been, like I've been saying my entire life, Shang Chi. Shang Chi says it in the trailer or something? Yeah. The voice at the end.

Sean Chi open September 3rd everywhere or something like that Now I'm annoyed because I've been doing it wrong my whole life then Okay here it is how to say it properly according to YouTube Let's find out together together Brian and I find out Okay here we go This is one of those fade in words and then they tell you We are looking at how to pronounce the name of this fictional superhero

From the Marvel comics He's a master of kung fu How do you say it? Chong Chi Okay, so he confirms. I don't know why he had to do all that stuff before. Because there's a time limit. There's a certain amount of time you have to have an YouTube video for it to come up on search engines or something.

I'm sure that's what it is. I don't know. Most of them are just like they'll fade in and then you hear a voice go, Shang Chi. And then it goes away. Right, right, right. But not today. Sean cheese.

The name is Sean Cheez. Yeah, that guy was really, really into it. All right. Let's play a game. Is that Tabooley feud today? I assume it is. Yeah? It is viewed today.

Yes. Oh, I haven't even opened the, have I opened the server? Oh, I have not opened the server. The server is now open. Oh, look at that. You guys are both already logged in and ready to go. Yeah, I know, right? I'm going to try this buzzer.

That works. Okay, good. It works. Test, test complete, done away incoming. uh he's already in there that's great that's good news it means he's here we're going to get this ready for your phone call because one of you is going to play with one of us and i didn't have that ready because you know why would i okay there it is okay now that's ready all right now we play this music here it's time for us to play a little bit of the tad poolie feud uh this is where

That's exactly right. You nailed it. I wouldn't listen to any, I would have turned that YouTube video. Yeah. Right. Or the exercise videos. I would have turned that off immediately as soon as that guy said, the comics. You said it like that.

I'm like, now. He's a master of the kung fu from the Kamaks. It feels like that guy did not know. This guy is going to not get it right. Yeah, that's the guy is what we're saying. Hey, welcome to the show. It's good to have you here. We're going to pull in a listener as well.

And we have one on the line right now. Hi, who's this? It's your favorite electrocuted chicken. Electrocuted chicken. Wait, that's your name in the chat? Is that true? No, Guwarkmar. Oh, it's Gwokmars.

Hey, Gwakmar's going to Vegas, Brian. Did you hear? Yes, I know. Watch out for them, zombies. Yeah. Yeah, you're, uh, you don't have. any extra time, though, is what I'm hearing from your message, right? So no time to go to

Maker Mart. Your kids would love it. Your kids would totally love it. Would they? The kids would love it? Kids would love it. Well, look at the sacrifices we make so our kids can't do. That's all right. You're going to have a great time out there and you ask me what not to do in Vegas.

With your kids, don't stop in the casino as you walk from your hotel room to the outside because security will be like you get kids, you can't stop. You can't stop. You can't in here, sir. It doesn't have a problem. Yeah. And they'll do it, by the way, with a voice that sounds like they might have you killed. So you have to just keep moving. Keep moving and get your kids the F out of there. Also, I love that Brian, Brian is everyone's default for I'm going to Vegas. I need to know what to do. I love that. I love that about you. Do you feel pressure

about that? Do you feel... Not at all. I'm always happy. Always happy to impart my wisdom. Yeah. Nobody ever asks me, hey, I'm going to Dayton, Ohio. What should I do? even though I've been there too. Yeah, I know. Hey, Brian, I'm going to Schenectady. Oh, you know, nobody ever says that. It's always, oh, Brian, go to Vegas. Yeah, well, it's because you know, you and Vegas are like secret lovers.

It's impossible not to ask you. It was so secret about it. You don't want to know. All right. It's good to have you all here, and we're going to play a game. We're going to try to win Guakmar some prizes. But to do that, Brian has to explain all of this. So, Brian, I do.

Welcome to the TED. You know, the show. The Tad Pooley feud is the show is the thing that we're doing here. I've surveyed the Tadpool on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Brian will have to predict those answers that they gave us. It's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Gwakamar, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your team wins, you will get a prize package.

That includes Going Under and Panzer Paladin, courtesy of Wesley, a couple steam games for you. Ooh, very nice. That sounds good. all right how does he pick a team i can't remember it depends on which one of us gets it first right or who gets the highest whoever whoever gets the higher number right uh or closer to the first the most common answer yeah and then we let the player choose which one right no no did we do that for like a week i thought we did too and that's why i'm confused i think i think that's what they're well what we did last time was um because there there seemed to be a big advantage because the question

was related to Scott more than it was to Brian. Oh, yeah. That was the buzzwords for TMS or something, right? Yeah, right, exactly. Favorite, favorite sound clip. Was that you? Was that you last time? That was me. Oh, that was you.

Awesome. All right. Well, a return to glory. Let's see if you can't win this time or again, I guess. We, this, I'll tell you right now, it's funny because there, there were only um 20 usable not even that 17 usable answers in this list 375 people answered this one had the highest number of people who said pass or I don't care or I don't know this subject and it's a nice is that of anything we've ever done then okay yep all right hands on buzzards buzzards yeah every time I don't know why you do it I don't do it either but I've apparently live in a cartoon world.

Hands on buzzers. We asked our tadpoolers. Name a character from Seinfeld that isn't Jerry, Elaine, George. Brian Dunaway. George's dad. George's dad, Frank Costanza.

Show me, Frank Costanza. Three answers will be it. That's our number four answer. Newman. Show me. Newman. Number one, maybe. More than half of the people who respond to this.

Holy Moses. Do we even need to go any further? Holy crap. Yes, we do. We've only got one point for Newman because it's such a Jimmy. Yeah, that's true. Newman. Yeah.

It's a wide open thing here, but that means Guakmar's stuck with me. Gwakmar, you are all right with that? She's working with Gwarkmar, yep. What do you mean stuck with you? Well, you know, like in a love song kind of way. You're stuck with me. We're going to. Yeah.

Go ahead. People, uh, the response. The Tadpool's responses to this were, like, some of the ones I saved were, do people that old really listen to TMS? But, you guys, it's like the biggest comedy of the 90s, and we all know it, and so do you. Knock it off, you all, you freaking snapper whippers. How long ago was the 90s again? Oh, yeah, 30 years ago.

It was a while ago. I know it was a long time ago. But it doesn't matter. It's like saying, I don't know, it's like saying Star Wars. How did you ever see Star Wars? You Hope? Star Wars, that was 50 years ago. The people that old, the people watch that movie, like 50 years old?

You watch The Wizard of Oz 100 years old this year. Exactly. See? There you go. See, my point is proven. All right. All right, Scott, we got a bunch of answers on the board. Name a character from Seinfeld that isn't one of the big four.

Okay. So Gwockmire, we'll do this together here. My gut tells me that, uh, oh, what name did I just have? And I lost it. I was, my favorite's always been the soup nutty. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. No soup for you.

That's a late season or mid-season or mid-last season episode of that show, but everyone always thinks it's earlier. Yeah, it's old. God, I always thought that was a lot earlier. No, late one, very late. Anyway, let's go with the soup nazi. All right, show me soup Nazi. Number two answer on the board. Yeah, baby.

Yeah. Okay, so we got number two. Well done there, Gwakmar. let's see um oh man i i hesitate to put there's some characters i love on that show that are completely ancillary like not related to anybody um but right but the ones people think of you're right no it's everybody who's not jerry not elaine not kramer and not george so anybody else so we could you know could go low hanging fruit here or high hanging fruit and say well jerry's mother but i don't know um if that's a good one or not

Puddy. Oh, Puddy! Gosh, dang it! Oh, Puddies are great. I didn't even think of Puddy. Good job. Yeah, he's going to win this for us. All right, Puddy. Show me. Talk to the 8 ball. Look at that. Number three answer on the board, David Puddy.

The great Patrick Warburton. Hey, hey, hey, Peter. Hey, yeah. It's a typo. You're talking about the Incincterator 3000? Yeah, it's a typo. He has a David Puddy. I love Puddy. All right. All right, that's good. Now we're in the groove here.

Uncle Leo would be my next pick. Oh. Leo. We're to get that watch for a winter. Yeah. Hello. I love him. Hello, Jerry.

All right. Show me Uncle Leo. Very good. Yeah, number five answer on the board. So far, you guys have locked down the top five. All right. By the way, I do have, thanks to Tristan and Father's Day, I have the complete Seinfeld apartment.

Let me just express my shock that Brian belongs to the Marvel Minis Discord. It's the Marvel United Discord. And it's been great for like tips on how to paint these things. Yeah. For sure. I'm shocked by this information. This brain news. This breaking news.

I will defend that to my dying day. No, nothing wrong with it. It's been instrumental in painting. Zero criticism. It's just, of course, you belong to that group. All right. Let's see. Gwakmar, does anything else leap at you like a frog in the night? Well, you have to wonder exactly.

What if the tad pool decided would be the lowest number on that list? Yeah, right. I agree. What about Peterman? Oh, yeah, Jay Peterman, dude. Perfect. That's it. Man, Gwakmar's going to run away with this.

Jay Peterman is our answer. Killing me. All right. Show me Jay Piederman. Nice. It's going down the list. Number six, I know. You guys are.

You're picking them just about in the order of popularity. Elaine, you're fired. All right, let's do, how about Mr. Pitt while we're dealing with Elaine's bosses? They're always my favorite. How do you like Mr. Pitt? Okay. Let's do Mr. Pitt with his socks and everything. Show me, Mr. Pitt.

22 points? Maybe. Ty, maybe. Can you get 22? Yes, you still can. You can still get 25 points if you get the last three. Yeah, we'd have to really F this up. All right, Gwakmar, so far you've been the ringer here.

Do you have one? Morty? Morty Seinfeld. Morty! All right, let's do Morty. By the way, fun trivia, Morty was played by two actors, early on, different dude,

and then later was permanently played by the guy, I forgot his name. Same with George's dad. Frank Costanza was not originally... Jerry Stiller. It was not Jerry Stiller. It was this other little bald guy with glasses, and then they changed him.

The wives, the mothers were the same the entire time, but the dad's changed. I didn't remember the other the other Frank Costanza. All right. Show me, I forgot who you even said.

Show me, oh yeah, Mort Seinfeld. Show me, Mort Seinfeld. Oh, wow. Morseinfeld number 11 on the list.

Wow. I didn't expect that. I didn't either because I mean... Not a Star Trek fan, but yet still has the...

No, I guess it was that George said the Star Trek quote from Rath of Khan at her funeral at her... Oh, right, yeah. That was a good moment. Yeah, George and Susan, what a mess. That show's so great. I know there are people out there that don't understand, but that's an important show.

Three though was the third episode No no it was the final finale was two part and he showed up in both parts now. The problem is some of these characters I don't know their names. I'm trying to remember Miss Costanza. Yeah, yeah, Miss Costanza's mom.

All right. You're thinking, Estelle? Estelle Custanza. You nailed it. All right. Show me Estelle Costanza. Oh, no. She's one of my favorites, though.

She was hilarious. I love her. She was not even mentioned by the Tadpool. Oh, my gosh. And there are a list of 18 or 17 people. Anybody who can go toe to toe with Jerry Steeler with anger. Yeah. That's pretty impressive.

We're stiller. But yeah. Stiller. What I say? Steeler, but it's okay. Won't you go to YouTube and look it up? I tried to pronounce it again. Here's the thing.

We are looking at the pronunciation of the character. She's in that limited. rarefied air of actors who are inside Felt and also in Pixar movies. So it's her and Newman and that's it. Her and Rickles is the potato head. But Newman's the other one. He's in, what, two, I guess? Yeah, Newman was the toy barn guy.

Oh, I got one. With the cheetah. Of course. Oh, you already got it wrong. It's my turn. Way for you. Yeah. Let's do, hey, Gwokmar, how do you feel about Banya? The, hey, go, Jerry, go on that guy. Like Oval Team.

You got one. You got one more. No, you're right. You're right.

Rockmar, let me ask you a question. So, oh, dang it. Now it just slipped my brain. The dentist. Dr. Wattley, he's played by... The Dr. Wattley? Wow. Oh, were you good?

Okay, so Walter White played him. The actor, I think he was named. Brian Cranston. Brian Cranston. So Dr. Wattley's pretty great. He had all kinds of fun side stories. I love that guy So let's go with Dr. Wattley

I woke up and my pants were unbuttoned Show me Dr. Tim Watley, no relation to the character The Matt Damon plays on the Martian Oh, Oh my God Walk Mars nearly perfect

I couldn't think of Kramer's small friend I couldn't think of his character Oh, he's great I was going to use it You could say I would have probably given it to you His name was I would have if that was unharrowed

Oh, was Jackie Childs anywhere on there? Jackie Childs don't make the list. I'll tell you everybody else. Poppy. Oh, Poppy. Poppy. Two people said Superman. All right.

Superman? Dolores slash Mulva. Yeah, Mulva. Oh, yeah. Wait, Molda was played by, speaking of Breaking Bad, that's Skyler, isn't it? Isn't that her? No, no. And a gun was the woman who didn't wear a bra.

Oh, right. Oh, right. Yeah. Okay. You said Drake, like... The Drake. You know, the Drake. Everybody loves the Drake.

We love the Drake. Who doesn't love the drag? The Festivist poll got one vote. Wow, man. Somebody named Wyatt, and I don't remember a Wyatt. I don't either. Wyatt, Wyatt. And finally, somebody put in the You Can Eat Rice guy.

You Can Eat a Rice? Wait a minute. Who's the You Can Eat Rice Guy? I'm guessing somebody is conflating the soup nazi with your boss from uh yeah your friends your friends boss from the chinese yeah they must be i don't know what that be anybody mentioned jimmy nobody mentioned jimmy jimmy's been watching you yeah no nobody mentioned uh jimmy was hoping to get mentioned oh claire so many people said stuff like i don't know i don't watch that show never got into it it's like okay

spare us the commentary in the survey for for tadpooly feud please yeah please if you don't We don't care. Go away. All right. So here's the deal. This means that Guakmar is this time a winner. And I got to play this. That was a close call, too. It was a super close call. And I think the proof in the pudding here was letting Guacmar do a lot of those answers.

I think I would have to say up today. Oh, yeah. Gwarkmore killed us all. You did it, man. It was all you. How do you feel about your win? How do you feel? Full disclosure. I actually don't watch myself. Nice. But that speaks to the power of the cultural.

impact of Seinfeld because even though you don't actively watch it, you know this stuff and that's what matters, man. The mark was made. All right, Gwakmar, send Brian an email, coverville at gmail.com. He'll get you your prizes. Congratulations.

Have fun in Vegas and don't do anything we wouldn't do, which is, I don't know. There's very little I wouldn't do. For me, it's a lot. I don't even drink, so there's a lot I don't do in Vegas. Don't do anything Scott wouldn't do and you'll probably not have a hangover.

You'll wake up just fine. You'll experience a lot more of Vegas. Yeah, you'll feel better. and you'll know Vegas sober I don't know Maybe you won't experience as much of Vegas But you'll remember a lot more of it Yeah

And you know A few quarters and a few things That's fine Whatever Just you know But if you're going to sit at them You know like lose $400 That's on you

You know there's going to be a Mad Max Fury Road Machine before too long If there is it already Probably is one right now There has to be it Do they have a pinball machine for that I would love to play a pinball machine Oh you know I'm surprised

I haven't seen any Mad Max Fury Mad Max pinball machines. And at the Pinball Hall of Fame there in Vegas, you'd think if there was one, it would exist. Favorite one, Elvira. We used to have it in the rec area for the tech college I went to to get my first two years of college in. Did you guys play the Elvira one? Pinball? No, I just remember the machine because she...

Oh, yeah, I did play the Elvira pinball machine, yes. I just remember boobs. Sorry, I did find a Mad Max Fury Road slot. machine. Nice. Okay. Just be aware that Elvira pinball machine I'm referring to.

It was way out of date when I was playing it. Yeah. Well, it has the boobies on there. That's the boobbies. I'm looking at some... It's where pinballs go to die. There is a Mad Max Fury Road. Do it yourself, DIY kind of pinball like a schematic.

So people can... There's some concepts that people can build their home brew out of or whatever, but there's not like an official one, which is a bummer. Because that would be a great pinball. machine. I agree. It'd be a great everything. We all know. It's the greatest film. Sure. We all know it. In 2015 and maybe it looks like. Yeah, it feels like these one-up arcade

pinball machines. Like I've got them again, surprise. I've got the Marvel one sitting right there. But it feels like there should be like your Super Mario Maker level maker. There should be a thing where you can create your own pinball machine.

Because all it is, it's placing bumpers. It's placing holes. It's placing, you know, giving it a backdrop or a floor design. I mean, it seems like it, that kind of software should write itself. I agree. I agree with you. Let's do it ourselves. Let's just stop everything we're doing and that's what I'll do. That's what we'll do. All right. We'll make a customizable, make your own pinball machine thing. Well, there's a rip-off called Road King. No thanks. All right, Brian Dunaway, the pleasure truly has been ours. And I'd like to recommend that people

check out our latest episode of Boop and then while you're at it, stick around for the FilmSack show, which this weekend we'll be tackling. The Filmsack Show. I forgot. What are we doing? What are we seeing? We are watching the A-Team. That's right, the A-Team. Haven't seen it. I think most of us haven't seen it yet. The movie

that is, people. Yeah, the movie. Yeah. Well, in Bibbitt's case, he never, not really a show he watched much either, but this will be, you've had, at least you've done the one that we did that one time for, didn't we do something for Filmsack? We did. We watched the one with the alien, right, where they found an alien or something?

Wait, no, that was... Oh, that was Dukes of Hazard. There was Dukes of Hazard. It's all bleeding together. I don't remember what we did, or what the 18-1 was. I remember, I remember the face was like stuck in a radio station booth or something. I don't know. Something weird, but you at least know enough to now that you'll see this movie and go, okay, I get who all these people are.

Was there a montage moment, or how about, you know, you know, maybe drugging out Mr. T so they can fly. Oh, yes, yes. They totally did drug Mr. T's to Mr. T to make him fly. They thought that happened every week. Yeah, they did that every freaking week. Is that like castaways almost getting off the island? It kind of is, yeah.

It was always Mr. T. I ain't getting on no plane, Hannibal. I ain't getting on no plane, he'd say. Hamble, I ain't getting on no plane, fool. Yeah, and then they'd get him on a plane because they'd drug him because he was stupid in the end. All right, well, let's all tune into that. That'll be this weekend on film sucks. Jokes on them.

he had his own cartoon. Yeah, he did, and he sang to his mom. And cereal. Yep, take care of your mama or whatever he's saying. You know what, Brian, you did such a great job this week with Babel Royale and Feud. Take the next week off. Just take the whole, take Monday and Wednesday off. All next week?

Yeah, just don't even, don't even bother yourself. What does it go with? Are you getting rid of me? No, he's going to. No, I'm going to Anaheim. He's going to be in California. Babel Royale Monday or Wednesday. Yeah, I might, if, yeah, there'll be no battle royals next week, no matter what.

What there will be as far as episodes, we don't know. There'll still be all that stuff. Yeah, there'll still be plenty of things. We'll let you guys. We're still doing boop with Ibit out of the country? Hell yeah. Out of the country. Yeah, Anaheim, way out of the country.

Yes. Well, I'll be in those fictional places, adventure land, frontier land, fantasy land, tomorrow land. Yeah, those are offshore, I guess. Yeah, yeah, strange way. Brian Dunaway, have a wonderful day, week, time. We'll see you next time. Bye now. You.

You sound like you said, F you. He didn't, but he sounded like it, which is pretty funny. All right. Where are we now? We got to do, we got some news. We can do one story. Can that time for news? Okay.

We'll do one. That's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by nothing, absolutely nothing. Say it again. No, actually, brought to you by the, oh, what is it called? I need to remember these. The Spire Credits, which is a gift card. you can buy at Disneyland that you load up with Disney money.

So, you know, basically you get a card. You load up with money. It's like basically any other place where you get card. But this one is metal and looks like Star Wars Space Credits. So that's what I'm going to do and spend only that. That's amazing. And then you keep the metal card. It's like the cheapest souvenir of Star Wars you can get at Disneyland.

Totally. You're getting that star, you're getting that lightsaber, though, right? I'm doing the lightsaber experience. Yeah, I'm doing the, uh, the, uh, the, the ogahs lights lightsaber or ogs or whoever's lightsaber build your own saber experience you doing the blue milk or no yes although Nicole spoiled it and told me what it is oh what is it should I know I'm not going to tell you no I'm not going to tell you that way you know when you go there you can find out what it is all right well she told you what it is and it must be something common

like a thing that you'll be like oh that's what that is right yeah exactly exactly so it's like Oh, all right, well, cool. I'll still do it. I'll still get the blue milk, but... Damn you, Nicole! There's no, there's no dairy in there whatsoever. I joked around with her. I'm not at all upset.

I joked around with her. I said, oh, spoiler alert when she told me what it was. It came out of one of those weird-looking animals in this second JJ movie, or the second J-J-Vverse movie. But, man, the photos I've seen of the inside of the, there's a canteena there, is incredible. I mean, looks like you're walking into Moss Isley. Absolutely amazing. Well, I'm excited to hear your review of the place. All right, quick news here.

Good news for VR users, specifically if you're an Oculus owner. Your Facebook account might get hacked if it ever does. And if you want to get help getting it fixed, it'll help if you have a VR headset. They put you first in line. It's a little bit weird. Preferential treatment for $300. Yeah, preferential treatment for $300. Angela McNamara's first hint that her Facebook account,

have been hacked in an early morning email warning that someone was trying to log into her account. If this is not you, don't worry. We're keeping your account safe, said the email from Facebook. I've had those before. But her relief only lasted a minute when another email arrived saying her password had been changed. And another notifying her that two-factor authentication had been set up for her account. She didn't do any of this, of course. Then from there, I'm just like, okay, it's gone, she says.

She lives outside of Toronto. They point out here. She tried Facebook's automated process to recover her account, getting a backup code, resetting her password, but nothing worked. This has been happening to a lot of people lately who've been frustrated with the experience of the site. In July, NPR received 19 emails from listeners complaining their Facebook accounts have been hacked or disabled.

People share similar tales of woe on Reddit forums and Twitter every day. But someone became aware that if you own an Oculus Rift or if you buy one right then, while you're getting support, they will bump you up in priority and take care of you faster than anybody else. I don't know how to feel about this because Facebook's a free thing and who cares and whatever and, you know, like they don't owe you anything, but still, it's weird. Yeah, but I feel like it's, it's, it's not, it's not like they're looking saying, oh, they just bought Oculus. Oh, let's help them first. It's probably the fact that that that moves them to a new, makes them almost look like a new Facebook customer.

And so, or moves them, or maybe, maybe Oculus support is a shorter wait time than Facebook support. Oh, maybe that's, yeah, that might be what it comes down to you. That's probably more likely. But it would make sense you'd give priority to a paid customer who owns a thing that is having a problem. So if that's how it wraps around and they don't get into those details because Facebook hasn't commented on this. They haven't said. Right, right. But it's a little weird.

It is a little weird. Yeah. It sucks that that's the case. It does kind of suck that that's the case. Unless you, I don't know. I kind of hate Facebook, so I don't know. If I ever got kicked out, like if Facebook's ever, if I ever got hacked and it was like, sorry, your account's gone. I think I'd probably go, eh, all right.

I don't know. Like, what am I going to do? All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, Tom Merritt will join us with a little bit of tech news. We'll have Nicole with recommendals and a whole bunch more. So stick around. Brian will now tell us about this song. What do you got?

Darn right. We're going to Switzerland for this one. This is a rock band that's based in Switzerland that is all about guitars because they love guitar. Tars. This is, they don't mention foo fighters in this list, but if they are not influenced by Dave Grohl and company, I'd be amazed.

This is the band Stemph, S-T-A-M-P-F. They've, members have played in bands like Mudslick, Sandemis, and Q-L, and the latter of which won several Golden Platinum Awards in Switzerland for rock music. So they've got the chops, and this one will prove it. Here's the brand new song.

It's the single from Stamp, S-T-A-M-P-F, lost and found. and see if we can't make it Hey If we stay around away It's just a two of us to say If we can take it We get up, we get down and around We get lost running out and get found

If you're cool with it with it If you're going together Hey You can put Put your hand in my hand of mine Trust me that we are doing fine If we do it together

Oh yeah Hey Let us walk against the crowd Love this life Love with love let it last forever We get up We get down and around We get lost from

out and you're found if you're cool with it we could go on together we get up we get down and around we get lost running out and you found if you're cool with it hope it lasts forever Move so fast we won't touch the ground Hey Here begins another day Let us start from new and see if we can make it We get up, we get down and around We get lost running out and get found

I'm afraid you'll have to build up more than your tail if you want to be a super gleeke.

I train in my car. I'm a ninja. You taste like a burger. I don't like you anymore. This is the morning stream. all right we're back everybody someone in the chat pointed out that because you are now required to have a facebook account to even use your oculus that that automatically makes your security risks higher because without your account you can no longer use your rift and therefore you're your uh your rift or your goy or whatever oh sure yeah that would make sense yeah so i think that might be that might be true uh Brian sorry that song again is lost and found by the band from switzerland known as St-A-M-P-F. Nice.

It's probably a story we could talk to Tom about, but instead we'll bring him in and see what he's got going on. Let me play this first. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man.

That man is Tom Merritt. And Tom Merritt, do you know anything about this weird business with the Boculus? Yeah, I've been sitting here shouting at my screen for the fast end of, no. The person in the chat room,

I think, hit the nail on the head. the fact that they now require a Facebook account to log into Oculus is part of why they're prioritizing that, because it's not just, oh, I can't share pictures with my friends and use Facebook. It's, I can't spend money in the Oculus store and use the device that I spent $299 on because Facebook sells those at a loss. Right. And they need you to be in there buying games to make money off of them. So they would definitely prioritize support. But you're probably not wrong. Another part of it may be that the sport line is a little shorter on the Oculus side.

I'm not sure how they handle that. But that's a fairly good guess because it's usually a combination of stuff when they do things like that. Yeah. It's never as simple as Facebook's giving preferential treatment. That's right. Oh, buy an Oculus get moved up the line. That's the thing I try not to do is sit here like, well, obviously what they're doing is saying, we love Oculus users more because we make money off them. Yeah.

We don't want to be part of the problem. Facebook support fast pass. You are now fourth in line. Yep, exactly. We don't want to be part of the problem, damn it. We're trying to make the world better. All right. Hey, Tom Merrick, good to have you here and talking tech this morning because you're always

busy on a Wednesday morning looking for the tech news and what stuff we're going to hit today. So what are we doing? What are we covering? Speaking of selling at a loss, Sony had their earnings report out. The overall of the earnings was that they made good money off of music, the music section, Sony music entertainment, uh, because, uh, physical media sales, uh, along with strong streaming, uh, carried them. They're starting to see the return of Sony pictures revenue, although the lack of theatrical releases, interestingly, is depressing the home entertainment revenue now,

because they don't have the movies to sell you and rent you, because they never released them. Uh, but gaming was mixed, uh, hardware and peripheral sales rose, PS5 selling well, but revenue and especially profit fell partly because they sell the PS5 at a loss also there was not as much revenue from non-first party gaming so the good news for Sony is that they are no longer selling the PlayStation 5 at a loss they have now they now say that that $499

PS5 makes them money probably doesn't churn in a ton but at least they're not losing money off of it which is faster than the PS4 and a lot faster than PS3. PS3 took more than a year to turn around because, you know, generally hardware prices fall over time as they reach scale and things like that. The PS5 digital edition, the $399 one, is still sold at a loss, but they think it's offset by accessory sales. And interestingly, sales are the PS4.

They sold 500,000 PS4s in the last quarter. Yeah, surprisingly. Well, they know this because they've been doing it a long time, but there's a pretty long tail on the last-gen console, especially in Sony's case, they always do pretty well in the long run. Yeah, it's like a rat. Yeah.

I would say the only, I mean, traditionally the only console company, or, you know, in that space that makes money on the hardware, like on day one, usually is Nintendo. They're like the only ones that do it. And they do that by cutting a bunch of corners. There's a lot of plastic involved. It's not usually the cutting edge.

It's somewhere in the middle or on the even on the low end. They sell on the IP, not on the specs. Exactly. And so that way they can sell hardware at a profit. The games at a profit. They're profitable from day one. Even when they falter, like with the Wii U, they still made money out the gate.

Like when you bought one, you know, they made a profit on the one you bought. But Sony and Microsoft tend to do lost leadership and it works for them. And, you know, in this particular... Microsoft's still losing money off the X. Xbox Series X right now and will for the foreseeable future. But again, they're fine with that because they think they're going to make it up with subscription sales.

That's the other thing. PlayStation Network has got 104 million monthly active users now and they spend an average of 37 bucks a quarter. So that's continual revenue. You sell the box once, but you keep making that money off. Yeah, that's where everybody really wants to be. That's interesting what you said about third party revenue dropping. Sony known for its first party bangers, but not always. that's not necessarily true,

but this particular generation that is still going to be their biggest strength, but there's a lot of question about third party and whether people will just settle for subscription services like Game Pass and others or if they will even bother getting the third party over there because over there it's going to be your full 70 bucks, whereas over here it might be part of my 12 bucks a month or whatever.

So I wonder, I just don't know how that looks for them in the long run, but it's an interesting twist this time around for them. Do you know why Sony refers to it as non-first party instead of third-party? I don't know why they... That is weird that they do that. That is weird that they do that. That's one thing I couldn't figure it out. Yeah, there may be...

I called it non-first party because that's what Sony called it, so I assume there's a reason for that. There may be a category that you could determine, or you could call second party, which is like... Are there Sony, like sub-studios, like studios that are under the Sony umbrella, but maybe are a separate company and could be? I don't know.

So, for example... But still call that third party. I would, but if you, if you, like, they backed Hideo Kajima's game. I forgot the name all of a sudden, the last game. That weird one with Norman Redis in it. Anyway. Oh, yes, right. Death Stranding.

They were the big financial backbone of making that happen and then also making that happen as an exclusive to PlayStation and PC, but PlayStation for consoles. So you could call that second party maybe, you know? That's them funding it and pushing it and making it happen, but not really their studio. So I don't know how those are categorized, but it is weird that they say. A second party game game game is a developer that works within a game developer. Oh, weird. Game freaks developing a Nintendo console exclusively directly with Nintendo is second party.

That's second party. Okay, well, that's probably works then. Similar. Yeah. I'd say Death Stranding is second party. But my guess is they say non-first party because that also helps highlight how strong their first party is. that's their way of saying yeah maybe there might be a little bit of spin to it because that's their thing it does make it clear that uh revenue from from our stuff is fine first party revenue

was great yeah all the other stuff is the problem yeah yeah exactly uh well interesting i i'm very uh i don't know very curious as this generation continues to chug forward it's it's gonna just become more and more fascinating as these services hit critical mass potentially and uh a lot A lot of wild cards right now, and I love it. I love following it. It's so much fun. If you like following this kind of stuff, then the day the tech news shows, probably for you. We'll probably talk about this and many other things coming up today at 2.30. Tommy, you got other stuff going on.

I hear your audio book is out. Yes, and thank you for the art. Great Scott Johnson art as the cover art. The audio book is called Project Vera. You can get it at tom's newbook.com. It is acted by four folks. most of the voicing done by Joanna Gaskell and Kareem Kronflee. There's also some stuff from John M. and Dave Robeson in there. But it's about a woman named Vera who's an analyst in New York

and is suddenly approached by a secret kingdom that claims that it's been influencing the world's events to keep the world safe for centuries. And her brother is the problem. So they need her help to figure out how to remove him. from the world's equation. If that sounds like a fun adventure to you and you got four hours or so to spare, go check it out at Tom's new book.com. Awesome. Tom Merritt, everybody.

I'll see it today at 2.30 Mountain Time. You guys should all see us too. Tom Merritt, Ace Detect on Twitter. We'll see you soon. See you, Tom. Bye. All right. I meant to ask him if he's going to make it out to Orange County next week.

Probably not. I mean, I know that's a, what do we figure it out? It's a 12-mile, three-hour. George drivers. Yeah. The traffic, I don't think it's known for its easy access, but I also know he loves a good hangout at Disneyland, so I wouldn't be surprised for some. Maybe. Maybe. Be great to see him. Yeah. Let's Nicole this up here. I got this right here. Oh, Nicole's Bagnolo, joining us as she does every week for recommendals. Nicole, welcome back. How are you? Hi. Why do you have an elderly Emma Thompson in the chat? Oh, that's from a conversation we had yesterday. That's a current, Emma Thompson.

She looks good with her white hair. She does. She's, what, 605? Very, uh, any Lennox. There's a little bit of an Annie Lennox thing going on there. Yeah, I'm hoping for white. You want white? You don't want the, you don't want the gray.

You want white. Yeah, white's cool. I don't know if you've seen Johnny Knoxville lately. He's got the white going. Oh, it looks great. Have you seen Fred Durst? Have you seen Fred Durst? Yeah, what happened there?

I don't seek him out. I think it's a lot. wig. Okay, it better be, because what the hell's going on? Google Fred Durst. Google Fred Durst. All right, hold on. I'm going to, you know what, Brian? It's even look like him. It's like he's a different human being. Oh, look

of that. I know. Someone posted this in the tad pool and I was like, is that him? Who is that? You know what? It's not a wig. I just found his, uh, there's a thing where it's yeah, it's not a wig. So he shaved his head when he was in the 90s? Like the porn stash.

Yeah. I mean, he's got, he's got, that just doesn't look like Fred Durst anymore. I hear he just keeps rolling, rolling, rolling. When you do it all for the Nookie, you look like this later. That's right. Really, really, really weird. If you don't know what Fred Durst looked like before, go look at Fred Durst before, and then you'll know.

Baseball hats, shaved head, beardy chin beard thing going on. He's rolling, rolling, rolling. I'm sorry. I used to jam out to some limp biscuit. You like some limp biscuit, do you? I did, I did. I can have all of mine.

You can have my full lip biscuit collection. Welcome to my share. All right, well, hey, Nicole's here. We're going to do recommendals, guys. This is where we talk about recommendals and that stuff we've seen on streaming services and then we bring to you. And we start traditionally with Brian.

So, Brian, what do you got here? I've got a movie and a series. Let's start with the movie. This is a movie that we started to see trailers for in theaters before the pandemic hit and Tina said yeah we might watch that and then when he came out on streaming

we're like all right let's watch it because we were kind of interested in it and it is exactly what we thought it was all right you can roll the clip all right here we go he stabbed me with this weird old looking dagger but when he stabbed me we both got hurt what do you mean

standing in pink is kind of rad Millie focus sorry what you both got hurt oh yeah so when When he stabbed me, he instantly got a wound, too, but in the exact same spot, the left shoulder. And then late last night, I kept hearing the vaguer's name, like this weird, like whispering in my head, La Dola, La Dola. I think the Dola caused this.

This is like three gallons of pee. This guy's bladder is huge. Is everything huge? Joshua. Well, you know, this is the boy's room, right? She's got a dick in her hand, and you're wearing Chanel number five. Think we're past labels. This is ridiculous.

You guys got to see this as like a floppy hand. That's it? Yes, that's it. That's the dagger. No idea. This is freaky. I was so close to watching this. But then I finished the show that I was,

I'm glad you recommended this. Yeah, this is one I said in text to you. One of my recommendals is kind of right up your alley. This is a slasher comedy film. It's a play on Freaky Friday or any of those body switch. Um, movies like, uh, uh, uh, 21 again or like father like son or, you know, uh, all of those seem to come up same time. What was the one with Kurt Cameron and, and Dudley Moore?

Oh, uh, my, I don't know, father like son. Well, those like father like son. There was another one that had Fred Savage was the one I was trying to remember. Oh. Oh. Oh. Yeah. It's all freaky Friday stuff.

Ryan, the freaky Friday. Yeah. It's all freaky friday. It's all body switch, uh, comedy. This one takes it to a different level because one of the people that gets their body switch is a serial killer, played by Vince Vaughn. And he switches places with a high school teenager, not really cheerleader, high school mascot. And so now she looks like this serial killer, and he looks like this serial killer looks like a 16-year-old, 17-year-old girl. It's, I'll tell you, it's exactly what you think it would be.

There is no part of this that is any sort of like, oh, my God, it was so much better than I thought it was going to be. It's exactly as good as you think it's going to be. It is Bloom House, so it feels very Bloom House. So there's a lot of additional gross out that is kind of cheeseball looking gross out. It's really a lot about different ways to comically kill people. Alan Ruck, Cameron from Ferris Bueller And the eldest son on Succession is in this And he's great

I think we're going to wait closer to Halloween to watch this There you go, perfect, yeah Catherine Newton plays the girl She was on Big Little Lies, she was on Gary Unmarried I don't know what that is, CBS comedy a sitcom But Ali Pressman in the Netflix series The Society Supernatural.

Oh, she was in Halt and Catch Fire. Anyway. This is on HBO Max. Sorry, Gary Unmarried was that Jay Moore deal. Remember that? Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. It was not good.

It was kind of bad. I am sci-fi really likes this. He says, Freaky is excellent. They're planning a crossover movie with Happy Death Day. If that's the case, then that elevates this for me

because I do like Happy Death Day and having it all take place in the same. Blumeverse. I'm going to coin that phrase right now. The Blumiverse. The Blumiverse. The Blumverse.

Blumverse. But, so this is, this is, it's good. It's good entertainment. It's, um, there's some cheesy moments, you know, just like you'd kind of expect from something like this, but, uh, um, all in all, Vince Vaughn does a great job. Haven't seen him in anything in a while. So it was good to see, uh, good to see him. Um, uh, uh, again, um, uh, again,

streaming on HBO Max. Nice. Yeah. Well, mine's Max today as well. All right. Excellent. Number two here. What do you go?

My second one is a series and I was amazed that I was able to beat Nicole to this recommendal because I thought that she would recommend this before I did. It better not be mine today. What if it's today? It definitely won't be. Okay. You already know what it is because I told you. We talked about it in text.

I don't remember anything. All right. All right, this is a brand new series. It'll be quite obvious. You'll be listening to the voice of Padgett Brewster, by the way. Here it is that. Punky Brewster, what? Wow, punky.

But this story begins on Disneyland's second day. Because on that day, a special young boy attended the park for the first time of many. And that boy was George Lucas. I was there the second day it opened. In fact, there he is right there. Probably, maybe. Who's to say? Now, of course, being the young 10-year-old perfect.

that he was, he wasn't without his criticisms, especially when it came to one area of the park. Tomorrowland, I thought that was a portion of the park that had always been a little less than what it could have been. Well, he obviously missed the Tomorrowland World Clock, which tells you, incidentally, at a glance, the exact time on any spot on the earth. So, documentary, yeah? It is a documentary. This is a new series on Disney Plus called Behind. the attraction. This is the, it's made by the same guys and is exactly the same formula as the movies that made us, the toys that made us.

This is basically the Disneyland attraction that made us. And every episode, they take a Disney attraction and then kind of go into the background, the history of it, sometimes giving you some, some explanation on how it works, but not as much as I would like. I'd love to see, for example, one of them is about Space Mountain. I'd love to see,

what's that? I hate Space Mountain. You hate it? Oh my God. It's the best. I was a kid. I was a kid and my parents forced me to get on it and it was the worst experience of my life.

I cried so much. So you didn't go back on it this last? This last trip you didn't go on it? I'll never go on it. It's the smoothest roller coaster. No. The smoothest roller coaster. Did you go on California?

You're screaming? No, I, no. So you really hate fun is basically what it is. I hate SpaceBound. We went, it was when we were in, we went to Disney World. Yeah. It was just awful. I hated it.

Yeah. Oh, my kids, too. They all hated it. My kids hated it. So, I feel you. I mean, it's a dark roller coaster. So, you know. Yeah.

It sucks. Anyway, so it's great. Sorry, I'm struggling. I'm struggling with, yeah. One of the things that I was hoping for with the Space Mountain episode of Behind the Attraction is that they kind of show you what it looks like currently with the lights on. I'd love to see what that, you know, because it feels like this big, expensive space. But I'm sure it's like this little tiny room where you're just, you know, going on. You just can't see because it's in the dark and they have all the projections.

Change on the floor and. Yeah, there's got to be so much change on the floor. All right. So they've, here are the rides that they've done so far. Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion. The Haunted Mansion one, Nicole and I talked about because Mark had watched this and told her about some extra Easter eggs that they've added to the ride. Which I'm excited to see. They finally added the Hatbox Ghost, which is.

Yeah. Well, they explained why they couldn't add him. Right. And it was really kind of, Mark told me all about it. I didn't even have to watch it. That's cool. Mark was behind the behind the behind. Let me ask you this, Brian. Does it ever, does it ever get into? I worry about this stuff because Disney Plus is so careful about their content. Did they ever get into like two couples were murdered inside the Matterhorn? Not one bit. This is still within the Disney sanitization umbrella. People die on those rides. People die all the time and there's like a employee got munched by some of the machinery and lost a lot.

leg and all those sorts of things like there's tons of stories but i would and there's no way they're going to do that though disney plus is not going to do it yeah people die on the matter horn but they don't they don't die on uh i don't know if anybody's dying on on uh spaceman i'm looking to see let's see space mountain uh oh yeah 31 year old one became sick yeah people there's a lot of vomit down there with that change you guys mentioned yep and then they accidentally sent her through the ride a second time. She arrived at the unloading zone, semi-conscious, the victim was taking to Parham Harbor

Hospital, and she remained in a coma and died one week later. She died a week later? Jeez. So it's like, oh, God, it's like, okay, just stay right there, ma'am. Somebody hit the wrong button. That's awful. So listen to this one. Here's one for you. On September of 2003, a 22-year-old

man in California died, and several other guests were injured when a locomotive separated from its train along a tunnel of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride That's like the big train He bled to death after severing Blunt Force trauma to the chest Yeah man stuff happens

And that's why I wouldn't have We just stay on the little We will go to Tune Town and do the little roller coaster right there That's all the roller coaster I do So do they get into the Because the Matterhorn also has that secret basketball court Or whatever

Do they get into that kind of stuff? There hasn't been an episode on the Matterhorn yet By the way did you know two people died on It's a Small World? No. Shut up. Really? Awesome.

Yeah. One was in a fire. Not awesome. Okay, let's stop talking about this. Okay, yeah, yeah, this is gruesome. This is the behind the attraction that you don't want. This is actually, this is produced by the Rock. He, after doing the jungle cruise, he's like, hey, let's do a, let's do an anthology series on the show about the attractions that

Disneyland and Disney World. Star Tours, this is the one you just heard a clip from, talks not just about the Star Tours, but also Galaxy's Edge, talks about the background and layout for that. Twilight Zone Tower of Terror gets a whole episode, and it does talk about the Guardians of the Galaxy. The incredible re-skinned of that ride. That actually is my favorite ride. It is. I know you hate it because it's fun.

No. No. I hate drop rides. I'll tell you this. I hate drop rides, but that ride is my favorite one at Disneyland. Even though it's a drop ride. Even though it's a drop ride because it's a different kind of drop ride.

It's more of like a rubber band kind of ride. You don't just drop to your doom at the bottom. It goes down and back up and down and back up. And I laughed the entire time. I'm on that ride. I can't help it. They're weird. There's thousands of photos.

in the Disney gift shop of me with my laughing my head off on that damn ride we took the kids on um what's the log ride slash splash mountain yeah was one of the first rides we went on because it was like a five minute wait oh wow usually things like an hour yeah well it's really the time because they're not doing fast pass right now it's all standby if you go on the morning like almost every ride is like five minute wait time i love it um and then it gets longer as a goes on and then around four or five o'clock they go back down to like five minutes we got on pirates of the caribbean like instantly but anyway splash mountain i didn't remember that one that final drop oh yeah it'll get you the picture is hilarious i put it up on my instagram

if you if you look uh for my series of pictures from disneyland where i'm looking at the porg whatever it's like one of the last one oh i got to find that but matteo had a blast and He begged to go on it every single time he wanted to do it again. And Mark's like, Mark got completely soaked. And then we had to walk around wet. Yeah, no. When I was there in 2017 or whatever, Mike, I got so wet, my phone stopped working for a while. It sucked.

Oh, man. Yeah. That ride will trench you. Yeah. It's good. I didn't remember that. If you're really hot, it's great. But if it's like a normal, like a November trip, you're kind of cold the rest of the day.

Yeah. It's not, and jeans, boy, if you wear jeans, you're going to be soaked until lunch. Yeah, you're going to weigh like an extra 30 pounds, too, when your jeans are right. Everybody wants to see some of the pictures that I took at Disney land. There's the poor one. I love that. Yeah, that's great. They're a metallic mark in the log bloom.

All right, I've got to find, I'm going to get to your Instagram after the show here and go look for the. This is great. Well, all right. Cool. So you're a fan of Disney anyway, but you would totally recommend it. I'm a fan of Disney, but I still find this stuff really interesting, like the genesis of the rides, how they come up with the stuff they do. Danny Elfman, you know, was involved with one of the haunted mansions in Paris. I think he was involved with the Paris, or the Hong Kong one, doing the music for it.

Because each of the ones in different countries has a different kind of backstory to it. And Twilight Zone doesn't make any sense in Japan. They've never heard of the show. So they had to invent a completely different story for the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Japan. Oh, interesting. It's fascinating stuff. It's called Behind the Attraction. It's on Disney Plus.

Each episode's 30 minutes and I think they're 30 minutes. Maybe they're an hour long, actually. Yeah. And if you all want all the deaths and stuff, that's just the Internet. Go look on there. Yeah, yeah. There's a whole Wikipedia page on list of, list of, incidents at the Disneyland Resort, and it's gruesome.

Yeah. If you want stories about Walt Disney's, you know, mummified corpse or, you know, if he's in a cryogenic sleep in some pod somewhere, like those stories are also on the internet. So go find those. I wonder which, I'm going to see which ride actually has the most deaths. Do we want to take a guess while I'm looking here? I'm going to guess, for some reason, Matterhorn's always in my head. I'm going to say Matterhorns were all the days.

Probably like the train. Because people try to get off of it or something. There are five listed for Space Matterhead. only two listed for Matterhorn. Oh. Disneyland Railroad has four, so one less than Space Mountain. Nicole was right. Space Mountain's a killer, man.

That's a killer. The train, because we've never, we went on the train for the first time ever on this last one. I didn't realize there's like a little attraction inside the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs. I didn't even know that. It's only the last three quarters. So basically you have to get on at New Orleans Square and ride it to Main Street. we got it we got on at uh tune town and then took it all the way around gotcha cool it's a rough

neighborhood yeah you gotta be careful watch you watch yourself while you're in tune town good times anyway so there you go that's right behind the attraction is the uh the show all right here's mine now i lied it is uh i thought i saw this on max i saw two movies i talked to you brian on monday about dave uh Dave is streaming on oh yeah the movie Dave yes HBO and I recommend it highly. I love Dave. It just makes me feel good to watch Dave. Yeah, I love it.

That's a great movie. It's a great, great movie. It holds up to, like, it's really great. However, I was in the mood for something, and we're having what we call FAMSAC around here, where Carter is subjected to movies that I think are important. And so I sat her down to finally watch Gross Point Blank. Now, it's a bit of a, well, I'm going to play the clip. I've even given you the name already, but I'm going to play the clip, and then I'll explain how I saw this. Here you go.

Why do you say we put away our guns and forget the whole goddamn thing and have some breakfast, all right? No scabs. From now on, all arrangements, all contracts, all engagements are regulated. You got it. We'll meet the new boss. Yes. No deal. Okay.

But we're not going to let you do your little job here. No? Because we're going to do it for you. All right. So you hear Dan Aykroyd there playing grocer, one of the greatest villains of all time. and, of course, you got your John Cusack there. Cusack. Doing his thing.

Your Jeremy Piven, because he's in everything that John Cusack does. Yep, Jeremy Piven's in there for a bit. You got all sorts of folks. I really like Minnie Driver a lot, and she's amazing in this. If you've never seen it, you're missing out. It's maybe my favorite 90s movie. That's hard to say because there's a lot of great stuff in the 90s. But this one in particular was a special one for me,

because a couple things are happening here. It's like Tarantino and John Hughes got together and made a movie together. Like whatever unholy union that is, that's what this movie is. Because on the one hand, Martin Blank is a hitman who has been for the last 10 years ever since he left high school and worked for the government for a while, CIA for a while now works on his own. And he's quite literally a hitman. He is whacking people for money. And as he always says, chances are if I show up at your door, you did something to deserve it is what he always says. says. But at the same time, and he's got this little office, almost like a little law office,

except it's him and his sister, sorry, him and this lady who's played by his actual sister, Joan Cusack, she runs the office and she's great in this, as you might expect. And he's kind of at a weird point in his career. He's not feeling as much as he was before. He thinks about this girl he left in high school, left her literally on prom night to go join the army. And she never knew what happened to him and she's thinking about her all the time and he gets an invitation to go back to his high school reunion which would have been his 10 year now this movie came out in 1997 which was exactly 10 year anniversary of my or would have been my year of my 10 year reunion uh so that means all the music uh soundtrack the the the vibe of that era

is like full on display here like the soundtrack's amazing violent femmes freaking just a Imagine everything from that time. It was so good. Oh, my gosh. It's so good. The soundtrack's amazing. Even if you don't see this movie, you just go play that soundtrack.

It's awesome. So he goes back and he meets up again with Manny Driver, who's playing an American in this. She's British, but, and she does a great job. Her dad is Darmah's dad. So I mentioned him earlier. He's in this from Darmine and Greg. I like that guy a lot.

And not much else to say, except it's one of the best hybrid things I've ever seen. It's got this amazing... She'd harder like it. Oh, she loved it. She absolutely loved it. And Kim and I were happy to watch it again. I'd watch it 500 times. I love that movie so much. I think it's a perfect film. I think that the combination

of this kind of hardcore gangstery kind of vibe and then mixed with that John Hughes nostalgic kind of high school romantic comedy is just so well done that it's almost impossible to duplicate. I don't know who else does this and does it as a good as good a job as this.

I think it's an all-time classic and I freaking love it. Here's the cheat, though. It's not streaming. You have to rent it right now. And we tried. We looked everywhere. We were like, all right, where is this?

Someone has to be streaming. I knew Netflix had it not long ago. I couldn't find it. And I said, I don't care. I'm paying $4.99. Let's get this HD up here and let's go. Let's watch this thing. And so we did.

So I cheated this week and I rented a movie. But it's amazing and I don't care because it's awesome and you guys should all see it. About four years ago, Tina and I might have even, no, I guess it was post or pre-mystery dates. No, I feel like this was a mystery date. Tina and I went and saw Gross Point Blank

at the Paramount Theater with John Cusack with a Quesack with a Q&A at the end with John Cusack. That would have been great. I would love that. Answer questions about Gross Point Blank, talked about the experience and then answered questions about everything else.

No, it was recent because he was very, boy, his Twitter, he's very anti-Trump and that came out a lot in that Q&A. Oh, yeah, he likes to, that's his big talking point these days. But, yeah, yeah. I mean, the guy's just, you know,

he's a staple of 80s era, awkward teenager, comedy, movie, whatever. And he just parlays that here as a 20-something. I guess he'd have been 27 or whatever. He's older than he plays, but still, like this playing, playing all of that stuff from that era, there's a bunch of actors in here

are going to recognize it. Oh, yeah, that guy, or he went on to be walking in Walking Dead or whatever, you know, it's just a great freaking time. It also features the only example of a Doom video game in arcade form. That's right. Yes. It doesn't exist. With a cover of Live and Let Die by Guns and Roses. Yeah, Live and Led Die, you're right. That's when the dude, the little weird Russian hitman comes to the convenience store that used to be his house and blows that place apart. And they play

that song and then the burrito bomb goes off. Anyway, it's just an amazing movie. Carter loved it and I'm telling you right now. Grosser G-R-O-C-E-R, C-E-R, the character played by Dan Aykroyd, still the pinnacle of that man's career as far as I'm concerned.

I love Grosser with all my heart and soul. And even though in the end he gets a TV for a head, this is my favorite thing he ever did. And I love Acroyd and everything, but I loved him, loved him in this. So, go see it, rent it, find it, whatever.

Hopefully it'll be streaming soon. There's my cheat for the week. All right, Nicole, what'd you bring? What'd you got? Two. And I set up that Dropbox. Did you get the Dropbox? Oh, yeah, but I did.

Sorry, I forgot we were doing that. I'm still getting used to our new arrangement here. It's okay. Let me pull that up real fast. Okay, there it is. We should almost just share our recommendals Dropbox with Nicole. Let to use the same one. We could do that. Why not?

I'll go in and delete stuff. Deleting Brian's recommendals because I picked the same thing. All right. Do you want your doc first or your other one first? I do the rom-com first. All right. Here it comes, everybody. Oh, it's very quiet. Let me see if I can up the volume on this. F this up. All right, here we go. Now I'm going to play it. Here we go. Here we go. This is a courtesy.

It's okay. He's watching a pretty good. You seem Australian. All I have to do is master the New Zealand accent. Can't be done, don't even try. Can't be done, don't even try. Okay. You good? Can't believe you can just watch yourself back like that. Comes with the job, I guess.

I would hate to watch myself. Why? Because I'd hate to just look at my own face. I think you have a nice face. That's a lovely thing to say. If only I respected your opinion Oh What do you want?

Can I talk to you for a second? What do you want? How's it going in there? Fine. Yeah. Is that all you call me out here for? Is Tom staying for? No, he's possibly, yeah, going to go.

Probably. Yeah, I think so. Hmm. Mm-hmm. What you? Don't, don't, don't! I have no idea. Is that Tony Colette?

No, it's not Tony Colette. I don't know any of these actors or actresses. The only person I recognized in this whole show was Mini Driver. Oh, what a coincidence. She was only in it for like a blip. She plays the agent of Tom Kapoor, who you heard talking to Jesse. This is a rom-com show on HBO Max called Starstruck. And it's only six episodes.

I loved it. It's so funny. And so Jesse is, she's a New Zealander, living in London. She's working two dead-end jobs. She goes out for New Year's Eve with her friend who was talking to her in that clip. She gets drunk and she meets Tom Kapoor. She doesn't know he's a famous actor. And they hook up and it's kind of about their relationship.

And I haven't really enjoyed a rom-com in a very long time. And I really, really, really like this one. So this is a series. How many episodes do you say? Yes, it's a rom-com series. series. Okay. Yeah, this looks like something Kim's going to want to consume immediately to me. It's so good. It's so. And at the end, I was like, ah! Yeah. It was just great. I loved it. All right. Nice. This looks great. I'm, uh, I'm a huge fan of, um, anything with New Zealand people

talking at all. So. Yeah. Well, it's New Zealand and British and esotic. It cut out a lot of the stupid stuff. Sure. And they were able to pass time. pretty well so each episode is like you know one episode is winter or the other one and you know they're showing that time has passed between when they last saw each other and kind of the dynamics of trying to make a relationship with someone that might be a little unconventional since he's such a famous actor sure all right well I'm interested sounds good to me and it's an HBO max original not a it's just it's theirs okay So nowhere else you're going to get this, but there.

It sounds like. Max original. Yeah, it's Max original. Awesome. All right. Here is number two. Any setup for this? It's Netflix.

And it's a documentary. And I cried. Oh. I wasn't expecting it. It's not the kind of documentary that you would think going into it is going to be a little emotional. But I hope everyone watches this documentary if you have Netflix because it was a great documentary.

Food Matters. Just kidding. Let's find out. Let's play it and see what we get. I recommend mushrooms and mushroom products frequently to patients, and I teach other doctors about their uses. Mushrooms have molecules not found elsewhere in nature. There's some that have totally unusual properties like lion's main mushroom. The lion's main mushroom is a globular,

cascading icicle-formed mushroom. It tastes like lobster or shrimp when you cook it. But a researcher in Japan by the name of Kawagishi discovered it in around 1993. And I don't have the foggiest idea how you discovered this, but he discovered that this mushroom stimulates nerves to regrow.

And he postulated it could be an effective treatment against Alzheimer's. Since we don't have anything for Alzheimer's and since this is non-toxic, we should test it. Mushrooms are completely unusual organisms. and they're ignored by so many people, and yet they're a vital interface between all forms of life.

Plus the good on pizza. All right, so I assume it's a mushroom documentary, yeah? Yes. Okay. It is a mushroom documentary on Netflix. I was Alzheimer's documentary. No, it's a mushroom.

I pulled out that clip because, so they start out the documentary. It's called Fantastic Fungi. Yeah. Okay. And, or fungi. Funggy. Fungi fungi?

That's what they think. keep on saying, I think it's fungul. It's fungi. Yeah, yeah, they, I think it's fungi. They called me fantastic fungi in high school, but that all changed. That's all different now. So this, it starts off kind of educating you about why mushrooms are so important to our environment and how they are everywhere. And they just kind of go through that kind of little educational part of it.

Then they get into the second half of the film, which is, the clip I played for you, where they start talking about the medicinal things that mushrooms can do and how there's what, 1.3 million variations of mushrooms, and we've only scratched the surface of understanding them. And it was just a fascinating, I hope, I'm really hopeful that some really cool treatment comes out of it because I know in Colorado, I think in Colorado, they approved mushrooms, right? Yeah, I think so. They decriminalized them.

Yes. Yeah. Oh, so they just don't. So they talk about magical mushrooms and kind of the history of why they were criminalized and all of that and how they help, they really help a lot of people with depression, anxiety, There's various uses for them. And they talk about it's like one or two pills of a mushroom versus big pharmaceuticals where you got this whole continuous pills.

So he's like, it doesn't make a lot of money, right? So why are we going to put money into investing and researching this when it doesn't make the kind of money? But the guy who's kind of centered around it, he talks about some of his. his patents that he's done in his research. And it's just, I don't want to, I don't want to spoil it. Watch it. It's fascinating.

Okay. It talks about pest control and the whole network. It was so funny because I kind of already had a understanding of the mushroom network because I watch the school bus show with my kids. What is it called? Magic School Bus. Oh, yeah. And they had a whole episode where the kids were turned into trees.

And then one kid was a mushroom and he had access to the, to the root network and allowed for them to communicate. And it was just, I was like, what? Yeah. It's all around you now. It's just fascinating. Yeah. The only thing I ever remember about Magic School Bus was there was an episode where they traveled through an anus. Do you remember that?

That's not just me, right? That happened. I know this happened. There was some kind of like, hey, kids. I never seen a single episode, but if I were, that's the episode I would hunt down and check out. Claire Gack says yes. I mean, I don't know where I'd even find it, but I swear there was an episode where and my kids were watching it.

They were of age and I remember there was an anus and they were driving through the bus and anus. I don't know. I don't know what happened. That's a useful thing indeed. Yeah, it is a useful thing indeed. We've learned that a long time ago. All right. Well, this is great.

Do watch both of these things. I'm going to watch that mushroom thing probably sooner than Parasite. Claire found the clip. but the title of the clip is Girl, that's a booty hole Oh wow Oh maybe this is the Is it just a meme

And I've thought it was real Is that what this is? Oh, okay So let me just play I'm sorry to ruin our lives with this But let me just play this here What's that? Girl, that's a booty hell

Not a Maybe this is what I'm thinking of Because there's like a sphincter thing Ahold Kisha About about A valve, okay. Are you watching Magic School Bus? Yeah, it's just a clip on YouTube.

Okay. Yeah. The new Magic School Bus is, I mean, if you want another recommendal, if you have kids, it's wonderful. It's on Netflix. It's voiced by SNL woman. What's her name? I don't know. She was in the girl.

Anna Gas Fire. No, no. Rachel Dratch. No, Girl Ghostbuster. Oh. Kristen Whig. No, blonde. Oh, yeah, yeah, McKenna.

Kate McKenna. Yeah, Kate McKenna. Yeah, Kate McKenna. She voices the teacher. I want to say, so this is a new one? This is a new thing that exists? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Rebooted it.

It's wonderful. There's even like a little mini movie. It's really good. I can't believe I remembered Anna Gastier's name. I can't believe that came out of now. That's amazing. All right. Yeah, I like Kate McKinnon.

I'd watch that. I'm in. Yeah. All right. Okay. So, okay. So the bus went through a did. digestive track was that what the deal was all right the chat room's trying to

listen to say for me I'm sure they always go into bodies and learn about stuff in the body yeah that's what you're supposed to do right you're supposed to go in the body and learn things um all right Nicole does this magic trick where after the show she puts all the stuff up on her Twitter account and that means you guys can find out what we talked about and where to get it that's over at Nicole Spagg make sure to follow that Nicole anything else you want to mention before we go just have a great week yeah let's have a great week that's really nice and don't ride Space Mountain

is the other piece of advice. No, I don't do that. I know. Except Brian, he's going to write it. Of course. I liked it too. I enjoyed that ride, but my kids hated it. Somebody sent me the space mount with the lights on.

So this is the actual ride. I was thinking like a photo of what it looks like in there. Oh, what? But they sent a video of what it's like with the lights on the ride. And it's, God, it is just like this little tiny room with a roller coaster that's, uh... Yeah, it's all smoking mirrors for that game for that ride, isn't it? It is, but it's, uh, it looks like cerebro in there with the, all the panel, the video or, uh, not video, but their, um, projector panel walls. It's great. I want to see that when you get a sec.

I will put it in our Discord. Yeah, I want to see that. That sounds awesome. I was wondering what that look like in there, so now I'll find out. All right. It'll kind of, it won't ruin it for you, but it'll kind of disappoint you with how simple it is. That's so insane. Yeah, it's like a warehouse.

It is. It's like a warehouse. Yeah, exactly. You know what, chat, just for those who didn't see it, just look at this. Okay, just for a second. so normally this is all blacked out that's right so you never see this is this is this allowed i mean did somebody do this and they weren't supposed to or i'm guessing yeah i'm guessing it was an employee that uh well i don't know i mean i don't know how you get away with this but

i guess some employee that just said yeah well let's let's fire up the ride i'll uh take a video of it with the lights on it does it reminds me of a factory where like you know they're pushing like uh automated canning through here or something they're canning food. Right. It totally looks like that. Yeah, like you're on a conveyor belt of

soup. Yeah. Which makes it kind of brilliant and amazing because our brains are funny. You turn off the lights and suddenly everything else gets up. Suddenly it's this big space

with, sure, you know, not real meteors. I've never been on Space Mountain when the ghost, like they have, around Halloween.

Yeah. They have a ghost rethaming of it. And I've never been there when that was up and running. But, um, It's kind of like how they turn haunted mansion into Nightmare Before Christmas. Ghost Galaxy.

Thank you, Cyborg, dude. Yeah, I've never been there when that was up and running. I was there when they were converting it, which meant there was no, it was September, late September, and they wouldn't let us ride it at all. Yes. That sucked. I hate that. Same thing happened with the, it was same with the haunted, haunted mansion.

It was down. They were getting ready for the, yeah, that's a bummer. Yeah, I was mad. Come on, you guys have overnight. Do it overnight. Yeah, do it overnight. Exactly. And let people see the half done and half not done.

Oh, somebody, Captain Kipper just posted the video of what Ghost Galaxy looks like. That's cool. Oh, that's cool. Well, very nice. Look at you guys with all your knowledge. Ghost Galaxy. All right. Well, that's going to be it for the show.
