Recommendals and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. The laws by which these wings are manipulated are the old lost laws of great cosmic motion, which I have rediscovered. And it's my strong conviction that by utilizing these inner universal forces, we shall all be able to fly like the birds. I love you. The morning stream. They mostly come in the morning. Mostly. Whoops.

Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for the 25th of our. August 2021. Chad, I know there was some weird, some weird glitch here, but we seem to be okay now. I think it says we're fine. We had a little glitch. Okay. Let's hope it's better. Yeah. I mean, it's running at full speed now. We're reading the chat. We're just, we're seeing if there's anything we can do.

There's really, there's not a whole lot I can do. No, there's very little that anyone can do. But we're at, we're at full speed now. So you should have, we lost about 3,000 frames right during the intro. Oh, wow. Okay. But now we're not. So I don't know what to tell you. Hey, it's me and Brian. And we're going to do a thing right off the bat here because I have a concierge sitting in the wings here who brought me a thing.

So we're going to get right to it. Somebody sent us, do we know the name? Yes. This was sent to us by R.K. Ang. I'm sorry, R.K. Engel. Oh, Kim brought me a paper. You're right. R.K. Engel there.

Oh, Jason Hawthorne, it says. Oh, well, then why does it say R.K. Engel? I don't know. Okay. I think you guys are drunk it on the show before us. enjoy your cat shit coffee on TMS. L.O.L. It ain't scrumptious until it's been through a cat's bowels

from Jason Hawthorne's what it says. That's hilarious. Okay, yeah, mine, maybe, uh, I don't know, maybe that's his password. Now, let me preface this. Yeah. Did we fully docks this guy? I love it. Well, you know, he shouldn't have used it as his, uh, signature line on my, uh,

because I'm looking exactly the same thing, a gift for you. Yeah. Um, but instead of Jason Hawthorne, it says R.K. Engel. Nice. Dodd Vickers years ago sent me some cat butt coffee to which I had on the show, but I'm, I'm, but, but I'm having this one again, so I don't care. I don't, yeah, we don't care. That's a bean, that's a bean that's been through a cat right there. Yep, I can't get it to focus, but this bean has been through a cat's bum bum.

Right. And now it's lost. Oh, no. Now it's lost forever. Lost forever and it's just going to stink up your house. So I take this, Kim's got this hole. Wow, look at this. Like, it's, I mean, here's, here's me, ready?

Here's the comparison. Yeah. A, B. Yep. I filled a thermos with it, and I'm going to pour it myself during the show here. Exactly. Kim, what did you call it? This is a French press?

This is how the French do it. Well, I did, I did do mine in a French press also, but then I put it in this thermos. Oh, okay. Well, see, you've already gone a step further than I did. You've, you've packed for, okay, do I just pour this? Okay, so I'm pouring this. Here goes. I'm going to pour mine as well.

All right. Um, it is a lot lighter than the coffee I'm used to drinking. I will say that. You can see pretty light just coming out of the spout, right? It's very translucent. Yeah. Did Kim, or ask Kim, like, did it seem light to her as well? Like, uh... It did? It did seem light to you? Okay. Why is this hot? Is this normal hot? Oh, she made warm creamer and everything. She warmed your creamer so that it wouldn't cool down your coffee? Yeah. Noah's euphemism either. Warming my creamer is not a euphemism. Okay, here we go.

So I go full to the lid? It's up to you. Okay. Yeah, I mean, you're, you know, you pour in as much as you're going to drink. There. This looks like the kind of creamer that would, someone I know would crop dust a whole resort with after they ate it. All right, let's see. Okay, so we're trying this?

We're going? Let's do it. I like the smell. It's got a much more, um... Do I like it? Earthy smell. You're asking me? I don't know if I like it.

Hold on. Yeah, it definitely has a different, a different flavor to it. Like a lot more. I don't want to compare that to you. You want to try that? There's like a tartness, like a... Almost like fruit. Yeah.

Like there's a weird nut or a fruit in there. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's cat poo. Yeah, a cat's butt hole. Yeah. It's a weird nut. It's good, though.

It's, um... All right. Like a ginger. snap almost like a ginger snap. Look at this. Proper little tea set I got going here. I know. I know. It's adorable. Thanks, honey. I'll finish this up, I think.

I think it's okay. Do we like it? I think. Yeah, no, it's really good. Yeah, I think so. Okay. It's not, you know, your usual caramel latte, whatever is, but. Oh, yeah. No. And listen, you keep drinking those and you end up with diabetes for too long. You don't want a diabetes. Trust me. that's right uh all right excellent news uh we did it we did a thing early we did it it was very tasty thank you jason hawth uh hawthorne aka r k angle yep uh which might be his password all right

might be but probably not probably not okay uh we got a quick email i wanted to start things with here uh post coffee uh post cat butt test that we just did so successful cat butt test we got this uh thing here from bill edwardsson uh hold on and pull that up. Here we go. He says, hey, guys, I've been a frog pants listener for a long time, but this past year, I've been listening to TMS nearly every day. Well, that's great. Yeah, we're sorry and we're thankful. Yeah, we're thankful and sorry at the same time. It is possible. It says, your latest episode, you talk about Nigerian Prince emails during the height of these type of email scams in about 2011, I began to blog about the dozens I'd receive

on a daily basis. I thought that, or I haven't thought about that blogging years until your show today. I think you'd appreciate my post on some of these gems I'd receive. Here's the blog. Scams squared to death. It's squaredscams.blogspot.com. Thanks for the time and the great content, Bill. So I think this is kind of awesome. Guy used to, you know, document.

Like, used to blog about scams. And I'm guessing based on the names that it's not just Nigerian print scams, but. Yeah, I think it's just any. Although his email, that sentence does say, that dozens he'd receive every day. That's true. He's also not very good about hiding his email address. Yeah, apparently. Yeah, that's everywhere on here. But like, for example, one of these is, his whole post is subject line is not the body. And then he has a whole thing about how you shouldn't put gigantic, you know, bits of data in your subject line when you have a proper, you know, you're trying to make a proper email. And I agree. Here

it is, chat. Look, you can see it. Oh, these are great though. So look at that giant subject inside of this thing. This is great. All the devs have been made to render links unusable. Yeah. When you're reading his posts about these scams, make sure not to click any links if there are any, although he's, you know, he's, uh, wow. I love it.

I love it. He just chronicled spam, basically. Yeah. And I don't know why I respect that, but I do. I think there. I totally do. Yeah, that's a great thing. I haven't seen a blog spot, the freaking web page in about 100 years.

Oh, holy crap. Is this still a thing, I guess? Talia. Talia must not be in the chat because I'd be getting spammed. Kidboga! Kidboga! Kidboga! Yeah, exactly. So Blogspot is still a thing. Who owns this? Google? Oh, I don't know. Yeah, who does own Blogspot. Or blogger. Whatever it is. Blogger. Who owns? Who owns? This is not interesting information, but I'm looking it up anyway. Who owns blogger? Okay. I know at some point they did. Oh, Talia is in the chat.

She just missed her opportunity to yell Kit Bogia at me. Oh, there we go. Scam cover. Oh, okay. Pyrelabs developed it before being acquired by Google in 03. They still own it. So Google owns blogger.com. That's what's going on there.

That's very cool. Yeah. I thought I let everyone know. I'd be remissed, too, if I didn't talk about what Kid Bogia is, if you have not checked out Kit Bogia on Twitch, Talia told me about this guy. And it's, he's amazing. He finds scammers. phone scammers who are like, oh, yes, please go get some iTunes cards.

And I'm going to have you input the codes. And then he impersonates like this old lady, now, now where do I click on? Now, what am I supposed to enter? I follow this guy on TikTok. Now that you, now this is all familiar. You want me to enter iTunes, I-T-U, there's a T-O-O. Oh, that's amazing. It's fascinating.

And then, like, he'll mute and talk to them. the chat room and the fact that he does all this and doesn't crack himself up all the time uh is just amazing and he's actually gotten the reason that that uh she writes scam cover all the time in chat that talia does is because he's gotten uh these these scammers to actually um uh like sing not sing but say lyrics from songs like spice girls and stuff like that In his response, it's brilliant. It's good stuff. Yeah, I love it.

But the songs wouldn't sound good on the show because you need all that background. You need to see the videos. You need to do the whole thing. I agree. Yeah, I guess this TikTok video is just a selection of stuff he's done on Twitch, but I already follow him. He's brilliant. Yeah. That's great.

Yeah, screw those guys. The, you know, F. Yeah, F scammers. And the horse they rode in on. That's right. Hey, you know, last night, I mentioned during the show show, I was responding to a text from Courtney, who is the, one of the heads of the committee of the longest day, which is an Alzheimer's charity here in Colorado. And it's the one that we did the big demo stream for, you, me, Stephen Schleiker, and Brian Dunaway. And the fundraiser ended a couple, like about a week ago.

And this was the first year that Colorado raised more, raised over their goal of money for Alzheimer's research. Like some ridiculous, almost $200,000 amount, it was fantastic. And I got a certificate last night because thanks to the Tadpool and, again, the three of you guys who joined me for the live stream on Demio to play the game, I was the fifth highest individual fundraiser in Colorado for raising money for Alzheimer's research. Nicely done. If that cure comes sooner than later, it might have been on the backs of Brian and you helping him out. Exactly. Exactly.

So that's awesome. You guys are awesome. All of you supported this. Thank you so much. And Alzheimer's research thanks you too. So this award I share with all of you, I will put in an envelope and send it to the first. of you, and then you will forward it, you know, hanging on your wall for a week, and then take it down, put it in another envelope, send it on to the next person, and then

the next person is. Chain certificate is what we call that. Yes, exactly. Yeah, keep that going. Or you can just, you know, take a screenshot of it and put it on your wall now. There you go. Yeah, that'd be fine. It would be fine.

We, uh, we, we, that is actually really cool. So, it is really cool. And the, uh, uh, it's, again, it's all due to the support from the tadpool. Now, real quick on this cat-buck coffee, I wanted to clarify something. For anyone listening, and they're like, what are you guys even talking about? Oh, yeah, that's right. I guess we really just jumped right into it and didn't even give in any sort of... So there's the civet cat that eats the beans and then schmoops them all over the floor of the, the beans just kind of go through them.

Right. And they go all over the floor of the forest they live in. And the beans are in the poop. And the beans don't digest. So they are whole. Fully formed, but are touched by an angel as they went through or whatever. And by the way, the civet is not, they call it a civet cat, but it's technically not a cat. It's not a feline.

It's a slender, nocturnal carnivorous mammal with a barred and spotted coat and well-developed anal scent glands. Yeah, they remind me of weasels or, or, whatever that's called. I can't think of what they're called. A wolverine. A wolverine. but then somebody goes around that forest and they pick up all the poo on the ground and then that's what they're selling to put in the coffee it's not like they've got one of these things in a box and they're like all right poop again buddy you got poop some more coffee

and the uh right and they take the beans out of the poop like they the beans have been removed from the poop probably washed uh hopefully washed and then one would assume one assumes washed but we don't know we actually don't know yeah we don't know we didn't see the process but uh so yeah I don't know why a civet cat, or A, I don't know why they call them cats, but whatever, the civet weasel. Why this ever, anyone ever discovered it and went, I mean, it must have been a desperate week of like, because those civets are a really cool cat man. Yeah, they're really, they're one hip cat. But the people that couldn't get coffee were they just desperate and they're like, well, I'm going to pick it out of this poo I found?

Like when did it? Yeah, somebody had to be the first and said, hey, check it out. There's still whole beans. In this coffee, let's grind them up and see what it tastes like. And then the next guy says, I could interest you in some corn I had yesterday, too, if you'd like to try that. It's the old corn. When did I eat corn?

When did they eat corn? Well, anyway, we did it for science. Hope you guys enjoyed it. We did. It was tasty. It is very tasty. It's not the most, is it the most expensive? I wonder if Kona from Hawaii is still the most expensive coffee that there is.

I don't know. I mean, there's probably half a dozen things where they claim like, oh, this is the ultimate in coffee and therefore it's going to cost so much a pound or whatever. Right. Nope. Cat poop coffee. Copi Luwack is the most expensive coffee. Is it? Still the most expensive.

All right. Well, we have low standards. Bring it out your butt. Starbucks. Starbucks is the most expensive coffee. Yeah. Well said. Good point.

That's actually a really good point. all right here's another good point that point being that Brian Dunaway is joining us as he does on Mondays and Wednesdays here on the show to play a little game with you fine folks at home Brian Dunaway welcome back to the show oh hi Scott and Brian oh hello hi Brian hi Brian

Hanick sets in as I realize it's probably one of those buzzard days and I don't have it pulled up yet oh yes you better better pull up your buzzard because at some point I'm going to tell you hands on your buzzards. I am currently in a room with somebody named Player 2. That is definitely not you. So get in there, man. Get in there.

Player 2 enters the game. That's right. This will be fun. Brian will explain in a second, but first we've got to take a caller. And let's see who we got here. Hi, thanks for holding. Who's this? Oh, Slucko. Hey, Slucko. What's going on? It's Slucco. Is anyone ever been that excited about slucco?

It's great, dude. Well done. It's just a fun name to say, really. It's all slucco. Slucco, welcome to the show. You probably know how this works, but we're going to let Brian explain anyway, Brian. Yes, it's time to play the Tadpoolie feud.

I've surveyed the Tadpool on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's got and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Now, Slucco, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your team wins, you get a prize package that includes Hyperlight Drifter and Saints Row the 3rd from Steam. Oh, nice. Both excellent games courtesy of Michael Wood. Thank you, Michael, for sending those games over.

Yeah, in particular, I mean, Saints Row the 3rd is a little older, still an amazing game. Great open world game, but Hyperlight Drifter is a rad indie. It's a very cool game. Oh, cool. He'll like that a lot. Cool, cool, cool. Excellent. All right, well, we surveyed how many were in this one.

There's another one where we didn't have that many passes. 371 people answered this without typing the word pass. And I've got the top 10 items in the list. So please put your hands on your buzzard. And you're ready to name an item. you'd most likely accidentally leave behind in a hotel room. Damn it. Brian Dunaway.

Bees? Bees? Bees? Yes. I said bees. I said bees. No, I said keys, you fools. Keys.

All right. Show me keys. Yeah, your hotel key card often left in a hotel room. Oh, key card. Interesting. Three answers will beat that. Scott. Uh.

wallet your wallet wallet show me wallet oh come on nobody left their wallet uh i think he left his wallet think that guy left his wallet 24th answer on the on the list uh so a couple people said wallet but not enough to to really make a difference uh that means lucko you and brian dunway are going to be a team

you guys will be working together here to uh guess the rest of these answers nine answers still on the board name an item you'd most likely accidentally leave behind in a hotel room. Oh, I just don't know. Oh, do you have one? I have one in my head. But I'll defer to you if you're like. Oh, there you go.

That's what I had too. Cell phone charger. I've actually left mine several times. Yeah. So, like, you could almost just say, I don't need to take a charger on this trip because I'll just go down to the front desk and say, I think I left my charger. Could you check lost and found? Yeah, what phone is it for?

Here you go. There you go. All right, show me cell phone charger. Number one answer, 158 of our 371 answers were cell phone chargers, so well done. Nice. Very good. Charger slash cable. So when you leave that in the clip-clop, that is...

Also, that counts as like this is... Anything that charges or is a cable, so it's completely, yes. I wasn't going to break it down by computer cable or phone cable or... Yeah, exactly. All right. You guys still have possession of the board. What's your next item left in a hotel room? Do you have another one yet?

Or? In the clip? I had one and I just lost it. What was that? Sorry. This is the clip-clop lady. Where I left a cable. The whole point of her calling me is I left my notebook cable in the hotel.

Oh, you let your notebook cable. In the clip-pop? In the clip-clop. Right. I would say something like your toothbrush. But that would be, what do you think, Slucco? Good answer, good answer. That is a good answer.

Good answer. Yeah, I like it. Okay. Hold out of the stupid toothbrush. Now my teeth are all scuzzy. Yeah. Ew. Show me toothbrush.

Number three. Yes. Actually, so every time you go to the dentist office, they, for whatever reason, they feel like they need to give you a little bag that's got a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a little thing of floss, whatever, right? Do yours? Do you do that the same thing? Every time.

Of course. Every time. I just take them with me on trips, and I just leave them in the hotel room. That's a good idea. I just leave them there. And it's like, that way I'm using them, and I feel good about using them. But I don't care about bringing them back. Yeah.

I could throw them away at the house. But hey, let's make those, let's give those two fresh as a weekend of fun. I totally misunderstood that. I thought you were leaving them like untouched for the next person to come in. No, no, no. I use them in the hotel room, and then I just leave it. Paying it forward. But you put them in the trash, right?

Yeah, I learned it. I learned too much about you today. No, thanks to Tina. Tina worked at a motel 6 for a summer when she was in high school. And because of that, she will leave a hotel room in almost exactly the condition in which we came into it. I do as well. I even kind of make the bed up, not really, because I know they got to take everything off. But it just, it feels right.

Yeah. This Kim does this too. It drives me a little insane because I'm like, wait a minute. There's a reason you tip to them for their, for the, for the. Turn down service, but you kind of turned it down without them. So if we're going to tip them, let them do it. We turned it down for what? Yeah, turned down for what?

This way, you don't seem to leave anything behind. I get nervous. I'm like, oh, they'll leave that charger behind or something in the drawer. This way you know, you got everything. Exactly. That's right. Exactly. J.C. Calhoun says, I have this one weird trick to solve the dentist issue.

I tell the dentist I don't want the stuff. Oh, okay. whatever. It makes them feel good to give that stuff to me. I feel like you at least walk out of there with something more than a huge bill and an irritating mouth thing. Exactly, and a painful mouth. Although, you leave the toothbrush. We use the toothpaste on trips.

It's perfect size, you know, it's travel-sized toothpaste and floss and stuff. Yeah, get ready, Ireland. They're bringing all their toothpings with them. Yeah. All right. So very good. Toothbrush was our number three answer. Let's keep going.

Still seven answers on the board. All right, what do you think? Looko, do you have one? No? No. No. No, I know what I left this last time. We actually did leave something.

Go ahead, Sloko. Oh, a Switch, like a game console? Oh, interesting. Yes. How about? Toys or something. Why am I helping? Yeah, why are you helping?

Yeah, exactly. I don't know. We're going to say a Switch or Game Boy Advance. How about electronic devices? Is that too broad? Sure. Electronic device is good. All right.

Show me little game devices, toys, things like that. Your Switch. You switch. The screen wasn't responding to all. That's your first strike. There was, let's see, somebody did say, what was there?

Portable gaming console. One person said it, so way down on the desk. My PDA. Yeah. your home pilot. All right, well, I'm going to, this is the tadpool, so I'm going to assume somebody said Dildo. No, I guess. Oh, my God. Yeah.

All right. Well, don't. Don't show me. Is Dildo on the board? Oh, dang it. Oh, but don't worry. That, uh, uh, sex toys of all kinds did come up in the list. I combined them all into, into one item.

And that is number seven. on the list. True story, a former neighbor of ours. Crazy neighbor. No, former neighbor. Had a fun weekend with a visitor who came into town.

They went to a hotel room and they accidentally left items, plural, in the drawer. I don't have time for your crazy neighbor antics. All right. Fair enough. Exactly. It's not a crazy neighbor. I want to preface that.

But something that if you were to try to flush down the toilet, it might plug the toilet. Oh, might plug it up. Might plug it, but it would be hard to remove. I don't like this conversation at all. When you're trying to seal. I'm just going to say that without any. Look, Steve Harvey would never go this blue. That's all I'm going to say.

And I hope I said that in a way that people listening to the car with their kids. Right. What are they talking about, Mommy? Yeah, what are they talking about? Hey, I'll tell you what I did leave last time. If you want to do that, so let go. How about that? I left a pair of shoes.

A pair of shoes. Not my only pair of shoes, obviously. That's got to be on there. Yeah, shoes has to be on there. I've done this. All right. Show me shoes. Did anyone say shoes?

Yes, one person said shoes. Number 42 on the list was shoes. I feel like that should have been higher. Now I'm nervous. I'm still a shock that wallet wasn't on there. Yeah. I guess you can't make it too far without your wallet. Right, right.

Well, let's see. Why is... Sorry. Twitch is being weird again. Gosh, dang it, Twitch. All right, let's see. Where do I want to go here? What am I feeling?

What am I feeling? Hat. Hat. Hat's a good answer. Sure. All right. Show me a hat. Oh, what you think about that.

Yeah. Number 21. 21 on the list was hat. Yeah, that sounds about right. I'm just restarting the stream for the chat, but we're good to keep going. Interesting. This is not, I can't even think. think we're number three is what are people leaving behind three is toothbrush two two is uh you

you guys haven't got yet yes yes i always end up there's a something that i slowco do you have one off top of your head i have one but i'll let i'll give you a chance if you want to obvious that would people really forget their cell phone but then again i've been thinking where's my phone when i'm holding it so right i don't think it would get too far let's your cell phone you don't think you'd probably go back for it but then you'd be like wait a minute these days this Especially. I don't know. I feel like back in the day I might have left my little brick phone or something, but. Right.

Well, this will be our last strike. So I'm going to give you the option of either that one or the one I always do. I always end up taking a hairdryer with me. And there's always one there. And I have definitely left a hair dryer before. You've left a hair dryer, but left, oh, crazy. Take no hair dryer and leave no hair dryer. This is like my plumb story.

True, I bet. Yeah, because. when you uh yeah when you uh when you get in the car you don't think hey where is my hair dryer you don't think about that until the next day when you get home you're like ah yeah sure sure all right uh hair show me a hair dryer no no all right so scott you've got um seven answers on the board uh you need nine points or more to beat brian dunaway who has eight points so How about Kevin from Home Alone? Just kidding.

That's a great answer. You're kids. Well, they go to the hotel. Yeah. Well, and two, they went to, he got stuck in the hotel, right? Oh, in New York. That's right. Yeah.

And he met Donald Trump. Yeah, and he hung out with John Cleese. Yes. All right. Let's see. Ooh. This is, I'm a little shocked. We've only got three on this list so far.

I'm amazed because it feels. It feels like some of these things are... I mean, maybe they're going to be super obvious. You would usually lose. Yeah. Yeah, right? Like, oh, I got it. Okay.

Jewelry of some sort. You leave a ring or a band or something. That's definitely in there. Show me jewelry. That's probably number two. It's number 10. Wow. It is on the list, but that does give Scott 10 points and gives him the win.

Does that give me the win? Oh, man. That means that Scott, Scott, yeah, there's the... Once again, I got to say, what's up with this score? It's just a man. Because the higher numbers are harder to get, so we don't want you guys to mathematically eliminate each other just by getting the number one and two answers. Yeah, that's a good point. Unlike the regular family feud, you guys only play one round, whereas in regular family feud, they play like three or four and things double and triple and all that stuff.

How about a dead body in the box box? Dead hooker in the mattress? Yeah, dead hooker in the mattress. Hold on. Let me, let me, I mean, I basically won, so this is just a throwaway here. Sure. Clothes. I don't know.

Close. Let me get you to be a little bit more specific, if you don't mind. Geez. Really? Yeah. We already did shoes. Got to time. A shirt.

I don't know. A shirt. A shirt. How about a shirt? Okay. All right. Show me a shirt. No.

Oh, my God. Are you forgetting anything? Are you? Are you forgetting anything? Oh. Where's my shirt? I want to go back. No, no.

Get the shirt. All right. Well, Scott wins. Let's go through the rest of these answers because I'm amazed. I'm so sorry, let go. Hey, don't you apologize. All right. Number two answer on the board.

Number six. Eyeglasses, sunglasses. Damn it. All the time. Deglasses. How?

Well, I mean, if you're not, if you only need them for reading or you only need them for distance or, you know, maybe you've got a lot of these things. Or you have your contact lenses and you just put on your eyeglasses. I've been blinded my entire life. All right. Yeah, that's true. He can't. Well, here's the one that I just don't understand.

Number seven. Hairbrushed comb. What is a, what is a? That is hilarious. That's man bear pig hairbrush comb. Yeah, I don't, I mean, that's, I don't know, I'd have to ask Kim. I'll bet she's lost, she's left something like that because she had to do her long hair and stuff. But for me, I'm just like hand through the head and let's go.

So my hand, my brush is my hand. All right. Number eight, earbuds. Yeah, little earbuds get left on the dresser or on the nightstand, whatever and forgotten. Yeah. Sure. I could see that. Roll off, whatever.

And finally, I just usually call this a tip, but change. Change. Yeah, I don't usually, it's not like I said, oh, I forgot that. That's more like you says. It's like, oh, well. Right. I just leave it as a tip. Sometimes I even, like, in Vegas, I'll leave smaller, those little tickets that you put in the machine to get, you know, your money out.

If it's like five, ten bucks or less, I'll probably just leave those in the, in the total. as long as it's for the hotel in which I'm staying. I'm not going to make them go across town to the stratosphere for a lousy five bucks. Right. That would suck. That would suck. Some other answers that people put in pillows. So there are people who take their own pillow, their own pillow and forget to.

Oh, those are pillows. I take my own pillow almost every trip that is in a car that we get there. So if it's like Vegas or I'm going to California and we're driving, always bring my own pillow. If we're flying, ain't never doing that. No, it takes up so much damn room. It's not worth it. Dignity, some people, enough people said, five people actually say dignity. More people said dignity than sex toys.

Wow. I think you're hand in hand, though. Shampoo, some people take their own shampoo to hotels. Deodorant. Let's see. Swim suits. Swim suit's a popular one because you'll, you know, you'll go swim in the hotel pool. You'll ring it out, hang it up in the shower, and then forget to get it out of the shower when you leave.

Yeah, plus you had fun, right? That's the important thing. There's always another day. Yeah. So next time, call in again, and you might win. All right, well done. Hey, Brian Dunaway, good job there on your team, play, and your efforts. You did good.

Yeah, efforts good. Yeah. You did give it an effort. I'll say that. I did. Yeah. I think that was a combination of, A, I got the very last one, and then B, you guys struck out before I got there.

So you really had, you didn't have a lot of room. It was really no way for you to win. That's how the numbers go sometimes. Yep. It's all in the numbers. Hey, this weekend, we're doing Film Sack, I think. As far as I know, we. Oh, but one of us was out and down last weekend, so we couldn't do it.

But we're still doing short circuit. And that should happen Saturday. So, uh, and here's a little teaser for you. Yeah. Everything I thought I remembered from a short circuit was from part two and not one. Oh. Yeah. Oh.

Short Circuit 2, I would argue, is the more sackable of the two films. However, we have that. We still have a short circuit 2 to watch at some point. Yeah. There's nothing saying we can't watch that eventually. Exactly. We may as well. Brian Donaway, anything else you want to mention before I...

Yeah, man. Tune in tomorrow night. Thursday night at 5.0.6 p.m. Eastern. I'll be playing Graveyard. Guard Keeper. Nice. Ooh, great gear keeper. With Kit London or just you?

Are Kit London with you? Kit London does that with me? She shirperes me through it because I take terrible notes. Yeah. I like a good game in Sherpa, someone who can just kind of be there with you. Totally. Yes. That's pretty great.

I think I'm going to play some Deep Rock Galactic tonight. I don't know if I'm streaming it though, but a bunch of us are going to get together. Yeah, it should be fun. Dwarf rocks, baby. All right. Hey, Dunaway. Eat a turd. We'll see you later.

Wow. Jeez. Oh, man. You know. You got to say it like it is, Brian. You got to say it how it is. Yeah, that's heard. Let's move on now to a little bit of this, if you don't mind.

And dance by the light of the moon. How about a little news brought to you by? Free comic book day, frogpants style starts this Saturday. Get your free prints from Scott and Carter this year with their take on Kingshark and PolkaDatman from the Suicide Squad. That's all-day Saturday at Frogpants.com slash. store. That's the one. I'm putting them up now real quick for the chat to see. I talked about yesterday a little bit, but

Carter did, uh, Pocodat man. We absolutely love her take on him. She hasn't even seen the movie and I just think she captured him so perfectly. It's hilarious. She captured like, even the look on his face is like you know, if she had seen the movie, she might be tempted to like give him those Pocodot waltz that he was getting. So I'm glad she went this round. That's a good point. She may have done the full

breakout or something. Right. She didn't do it. So anyway, There's that. He also, the actor, I retweeted it, which was really nice. So find out why you want yours this Saturday, frogpants.com slash store, 100% free. And it doesn't matter where you live. You can be in, I don't know, China, Ireland, whatever. And you'll get them for free. We've been doing this since 2012 or however long it's been. Super cool.

All right. Let's get to this story. We have time for a couple of them here. James McAvoy, you know, the actor James McAvoy. Sure, he played Professor X in the first class X-Men series of movies. Yep, and he's also, what is he, the Glass movie? Oh, right, yeah, he was in his own movie. The middle one, the, uh, what was it?

It was unbreakable and then, hmm, and then glass, and what the heck was that middle? Split, split, it's split, yes, because he has a whole bunch of, Different split personality. Yeah, different personalities. And one of them's like a feral, strong guy or whatever. I still have not seen split. So I probably should. It's funny because as much as you love the Unbreakable Universe.

Oh, I do, dude. I do. I'm surprised you haven't seen that. Or the, well, you get, you know, obviously you can't see glass before you see that. My argument about glass is that it, uh, they, he should have ended it earlier. There was a great ending and then they kind of, of over-explained the ending and kind of ruined it. That sounds like a Shaman tendency to me.

Kind of, yeah. Sometimes he gets that stuff right, and then other times he has that stuff up. I guess that old movie's real bad. I keep hearing. That new one. Oh, it's horrible. It's so dumb.

Old. Old. Here it is. Old and tired is what it should have been called. Yeah, no, there are so many holes in old. Just too many. Too many to count. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, I'm looking at the reviews. 50% is not terrible, I guess. Oh, I forgot he was in It as well. In It Chapter 2 is one of the older. Oh, right, older kids. Grown up kids. Older Bill, yeah.

And other things. He was in that wanted thing with Angelina Jolly. With the bullet you could fling. Right. Both would change direction. It's based on another comic book. And then 21. No, he wasn't in 21.

And that was the other, that's the guy I sometimes confuse him with. What am I thinking of with something more recent that I was like, oh, this is different for him? Is it filth? No. Oh, I don't remember. Well, anyway, last king of Scotland. He's in that. He's very good in that.

He's just great. He's a great actor, in my point. And, oh, he's in the new Sandman is Morpheus. That's the series he's coming up on. Oh, really? Oh, cool. That's awesome. Right?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Very excited about that. Very cool. Anyway, the dude's rad, is the point. And he was hooked on oblivion, for those not aware of what that is. Elder Scrolls Oblivion is Elder Scrolls Part 4 and came out before Skyrim, came out in like 05, I think. And he got so into it and so hooked on it, he had to burn the disc. Wow.

Yeah. No one tell him about Skyrim. It feels like he doesn't know about that yet because it's... No one tell him about digital download either. No. That'll ruin. a whole console if you have to burn that to stop playing something exactly uh well here's what it says um oh was he he he he was on the great bitish bake off for a one off i didn't know

apparently so it was a um i want to say it was one of their charity ones that's not on the not on netflix oh i want to see that i want to see i know i do too they have the dairy girls that one you can see on netflix but i don't know yeah it was the stand-up for cancer one it claire knows it and it's not those have not been put on Netflix and I'm so bummed because James McAvoy and who else was I might have to find some complex

way to watch those yeah yeah there's probably a complex way to find them but that involves this still Mary Berry and Hollywood Paul or whatever his name is um Paul Hollywood yes but it's the new woman

Oh, Sandy? No, Sandy was the... Sandy was a host. Yeah, a sidekick host. True. That's it. Prue. Prue.

Yep. Prue is right. Prue is correct for 10 points. Yeah, I just took a big prue. All right, anyway. So the point is, it turns out, as a younger and less famous actor, he played a lot of the Elders Girls for Oblivion. That was my kind of game, and I've always been into as a kid, role-playing games,

Zelda Secret of Manna, all that kind of stuff. Like, I love fantasy role-playing games, he says. His love of oblivion came, or became a problem because he was playing Anne Hathaway's love interest in the period drama becoming Jane at the time. And he says, I'm like having to go to bed at 10 p.m. because I'm getting up at 6 a.m. every morning, he explained. And I've got tons of lines and all this kind of stuff. And I'm still, I'm just staying up until 4 in the morning playing oblivion. It came to my head when he pulled an all-nighter that ended at 5.30. a.m. 10 minutes before the car ride

to take him to the set turning to a drastic solution he turned on his gas stove oh no wow put the disc on it and just watched it sort of like sing and melt a little bit and I was like right we're done we're over and never again

oh my god love it I love that I think that's a great story um yeah Daisy Ridley apparently was in the most recent one as well along with uh James McAvoy recent what stand up to cancer bait british

oh oh oh okay other other famous brits famous famous famous famous you ever lose your car keys he's great you can do no wrong and even though I don't think you really needed to burn the disc maybe just a little self-discipline would have done it but still you know you're a good guy keep making cool movies you're great exactly

yes whatever whatever it takes to get you out you would have done that with seven if you if you had instead of throwing it out in the snow You put on the gas stove And there you go Why didn't I think of that I didn't even ruin it All it did the snow did was make it wet

It dried off just fine Right Right What's the movie where he was like a gangster And it was really hard to watch I'm gonna fun Is it atonement Hold on

One of these is brutal dude And I want to recommend it Because it's like I can't find it Anyway it's a really good movie And I can't remember the name so it's really worthless what I'm telling people right now. It's just a worthless conversation.

All right, let's move on. Okay. Let's move to a nude man. Nude man. Nude man. What's his power? Able to keep him stay on his side without falling forward because he has a kickstand. There you go.

Excelsior. Why didn't I say that in the Stanley voice? That's been a while. So we haven't, you know, we're a little off of him. Able to hold 21 donuts. That's a lot of donuts. Actually, able to count to 21. Nice.

Very nice. So a nude man stabbed a second nude man on a Seattle sidewalk. I think that's called sex. It feels like it, right? What do you stab up with? Yeah, I guess that's the important thing. What is the implement to which he was stabbed? Naked man stabbed another naked man on Tuesday morning in Seattle,

according to the Seattle police, just after 8 a.m. nothing good happens at 8 a.m. No. Well, 8 a.m. should be okay. It should be. Yeah, I mean, it's 2 a.m. to like 5 a.m. is, is, uh, danger zone. Yeah. You got to watch out for that time. Uh-huh. I was, I was never up to any good during that time.

No, no. Anyway, officers responded to a noise disturbance. Uh, call heard from witnesses that said one naked man had stabbed the second naked, naked dude. Witness said, uh, sorry, one witness had already taken the victim to the hospital. Other witnesses told police the man was last seen around. the corner where police found him in an entrance of an apartment building and what appeared to be a self-inflicted wound to his neck. The man lost a significant amount of blood and was unresponsive. They got him there. No identities released and who knows how he's doing, but

they don't know why. Two naked men are stabbing each other at 8 a.m. in the morning on the street. There has to be a woman involved, doesn't there? I mean, it just feels like... Maybe. Maybe a third man. Maybe a third man, but it's like, wait a minute. Did you just come out? out of her apartment. I just came out of her apartment. Oh, man. Why did you say the name Martha? Why did you say that name? He said to that man. Yeah, I don't know, but naked men, uh, running around Seattle, you know, Seattle's, Seattle's an interesting town, you know, some of it's very Frazier and some of it isn't. And, uh, this is the part that isn't. And no, it is not, stabbing is not limited to heterosexuals. I'm not at all saying that. Oh, I love that idea,

though. That's a great. Stabbing is just for heterosexuals. I want Brian to die on that, on that mountain. I want that to be, I want that to be the thing you really stick to and then argue with everybody about. It would be amazing. Oh, my gosh. No, it just feels like it's a little adultery situation with the two naked men on a sidewalk. I can't figure out why, like, that's the, we're never going to know this story, but all my brain can do is fill in the blanks and say, well, why were they both naked?

Why are they on the street? There's some third part of this, we don't know. Love American style setup or something. Three's company. It was all just a big misunderstanding. Oh, Chrissy. It's always Chrissy. It's her fault.

It's always Chrissy. Jack, Jack, Andy, Moore. It's Mr. Furley. All right, here's, we'll do one more story. This is interesting. This has landed. Nirvana, the band, not the state of mind. Sure, sure.

uh was sued by the baby from the nevermind album uh for child pornography now i'm old enough to remember that not that many years ago like when the album was 20 years old or something he would there was a huge spread and like rolling stone or somewhere yeah an interview of like hey what's he doing what's the baby from nirvana's never mind album doing now he just turned 21 and he's out he's able to drink or something yeah yeah he only talked about was how great it was and he'll always have this thing to point to. Well, now he's suing them. He's in his 30s, I guess.

Nirvana, surviving members in the estate of Kurt Cobain have been sued by Spencer Eldon, who appeared as a baby on the cover of the 91 album, Nevermind. Eldon claims the band violated federal child pornography statutes and argues child exploitation, sexual exploitation. It's according to a report on TMZ. And Pitchfork, whoever that is.

Anyway, pitchfork has reached out to Nirvana's rep for a comment. They hadn't had one by the time this was posted in the lawsuit that also named photographer Kirk Weddle, who took the photo, and the labels behind the album's release, claims that he has suffered lifelong damages, is the quote, and says his legal guardians never signed a release, authorizing the use of any images of Spencer or his likeness, and certainly not a commercial child pornography depicting him. Now, isn't there a shot of this dude as a grown adult in the pool with his weaner out? Yes, yes. And he's had the word, never mind tattooed on his chest.

It feels like up until he ran out of money, he was okay with it. Yeah, I don't know about this. This seems like this seems like a weird money grab. Oh, there you go, right. TVZ gone put a blink. Yeah, there's the, there's him recreating

his iconic, with pants on. But yeah, never mind, right there, tattooed on his chest. I would think that it was only a couple years ago that he's like, hmm, yeah yeah i'm not uh i i'm not getting money any royalties from this photo i need to sue somebody

this is what he said back then this is when he was 25 this article was uh 2016 he says spencer elden 25 wanted to go on natural when he made a splash to honor his legendary grudge band he told him he said i said to the photographer let's do it naked but the photographer felt like it'd be weird so i wore my swim shorts yeah i don't know man i think you're just looking for the the money trail train yes for sure and he and he did tattoo never mind on himself oh geez like you said like forget it right exactly uh this lawsuit uh never mind yeah i know this lawsuit smells like tain spirit that's right yeah he came as he was uh your honor and uh cidian makes a really good point well he just said something that i thought i'd never actually say but he says something that i thought i'd never

We're siding with the music industry on this one. Like, that's the thing we never do. We're citing with Dave Grawl on this one. Yeah. We're not necessarily siding with the music industry. Yeah, and Pinkus Spasinski or whatever the name of the bassist was. What was his name? It was like Kyrr, Neviselic.

Oh. A Christ-Novicellic, right? Christ, Chris. Chris. Chris, Chris Neviselik. Yeah, he was a... I want to say it was pronounced, was it pronounced, Christ Novicellic? Christ? Chris?

There's a T. It's a T on it. It's either Chris to Novoselic or Christ's Novosel. The main point is that it isn't, it's not Pinkus then, like I thought it's not pinkis? It's not Pinkus. Okay. Pizzinky. I never remember that guy's name. That's right. Anyway, sadly, he's the garf uncle of Nirvana, the Andrew Ridgely of Nirvana. Yeah.

It says here he's a lifelong loss of income. earning capacity, this cost. What? That's what he says. Loss of past and future wages, past and future expenses for medical and psychological treatment, loss of enjoyment of life, and other losses to be described

and proven at trial. He sure looks like he's enjoying life in that rolling stone spread about where are they now. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. My guess is you can get that job at McDonald's shilling

extra value meals and no one's going to be like, hey let's haze the new guy because his peen was out on that Nirvana album yeah if anything your life is like cooler because everyone right exactly you have this cool thing about yourself and i'm not saying look i i'm not saying that having a little baby out with his peen is your best choice i'm not saying that's the way to handle most situations i'm i just doubt his i doubt the veracity of his claims right exactly the um the girl who uh was had the little little little Airplane. I guess she was the daughter of one of the members of the band on the

Blind Faith album cover. You know, seemed to do just fine. Never had to sue the band or anything like that. I can't remember. I don't know what her... I think she was the daughter of... Was she the daughter of... Oh, my God, I can't believe I'm forgetting the drummer of Blind Faith. Oh, Blind Faith. Oh, Blind Faith. Yeah.

Oh, I don't remember. Well, speaking of drummers, The Rolling Stone guy. Yeah. I know. Charlie Watts, who always seemed like, like even back in the 70s, 60s, looked like the oldest member of the band.

Like, he looked like, he just, the way he dressed, and his, his very stoic expression on his face, he looked like, yeah,

I'm just hanging out with my son's band until I find a replacement. It's a little bit like that, yeah. But, I mean, up until like three, four years ago, he was still performing every night. He'd finally retired,

but he passed away at 80. Pretty sad. Great guy. I'm sure there's a coverville coming with all sorts of something, right? I'm already doing two tributes on tomorrow's coverville for Don Everly of the Everly Brothers and Nancy Griffith. So when I get back from Ireland, listen, no other musicians die for the next three weeks. And I'll do a Charlie Watts tribute. I do so many Rolling Stones cover stories because there are monumental albums that I do

a track-by-track cover cover episode for us. Gotcha. Ginger Baker, that's it. Was it Ginger Baker's daughter? The woman on the cover, the girl on the cover of Presence of the Lord. You're going to look it up.

Could be. How's she doing? She's all right. She's not suing anybody. She doesn't seem to be suing the band. I mean, Heather Deloche. Thank you, Talia. You know, the idea that maybe this is a troubled kid

slash adult now who's got issues and other stuff and whatever. I don't doubt that, and I don't want to minimize that, but I just don't see how it's this that did it. No, Heather Deloche is the, the B-girl from the No Rain music video. Oh. Oh, the B-Greel. And she didn't sue, let's see, did she? No, she represents a fertility doctor in Orange County, California. She appeared as B-Girl on I Can See Her Voice, the Fox Musical Game Show. I don't know what that show is. I've never seen it. I'm fine with that. Yeah, it's okay.

Yeah. All right, but she was B-Girl. But she also was dressed. Yeah, yeah. She was dressed as B-Girl. I don't think it counts, yeah. Like, yeah. The point, the never, okay.

I will say this. All right, here, let's just all take our brains to a different place, just for a second. Sure, sure. I could see the idea that that album cover was meant to be provocative and have people, oh, geez, that's a naked baby on that album. That's the point of it, okay, from an artistic experience. expression standpoint, that's what they're trying to do is take you up back a little bit by this imagery.

And some people are going to be... Because he's going after a dollar bill. He's like, you know, being coaxed by capitalism. Right. All this kind of stuff. Like there's just the, there's, there's whatever expression they're trying to make. Now they were, they do, now if a painter did that, nobody has to be the subject. It just can be a painting.

Right. But this is, Suez Michelangelo for defamation and inability to get work anywhere else. but see that's my point like I guess I could understand from so there are some ethical questions about well when is it okay or not okay to use somebody who will who is a human being in order to get your artistic expression across and it happens to be a human being that can't consent or otherwise it's a baby it can't make a decision right so I understand that stuff I just think you could have been talking about that when you were 25 and doing a rolling stone spread with you in the pool again wanted to be yeah and and uh I have no doubt his parents signed something that said it was okay. There's no way that they would go through this whole procedure and not get some sort of contract signed by his parents at the time. Yeah, I agree. It's all weird.

All right. Penises aside, everybody, we're going to take a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt will be here. A little bit different with Tom today because they're having a really cool week right now. I won't spoil it, but we'll explain that when we come back. Oh, cool. So stick around for that. We have recommendals coming up and more.

And Brian has a song, and he will play it now for us, please. I do. This is a singing named Molly Berman, who has a new EP, just came out called Fool Me with Flattery. I love this song. I love the vibe from this thing. Just came out and tells a great story about the dating world. And also there's a great album cover to this thing, so check it out. Here is Molly Berman from her brand new EP, Fool Me With Flattery.

Here is the song, Every Time. This happens every time. Give him two weeks, and then they're saying goodbye. You didn't do wrong, but you also didn't do right. Every time. Don't know why I'm surprised. Maybe I thought that I could catch someone's eye. But you only glance couldn't be bothered to spy

And you are even that nice You only complimented me about twice When I spoke you were more focused on my thighs Nice guy When will someone like me enough? I know I act tough But when will I be more than nice and fun I'm someone to leave behind

I'm not stuck in your mind When will I be Exactly what someone wants Do you want you want you want someone kind And someone who always knows their own mind Or do you just know what me I wish I could give you a feedback form I really want to know what I did want

I think I great a laugh good Love, good day, I'm always kind. I'm there to talk, I'll run, I'll walk, as it's your loss. When will I just like me enough? I know I act tough, but when will I see? I'm more than nice and fun, not someone to leave behind,

Stuck in my own mind When will I see I'm exactly what I want I am I am Someone kind Someone who always knows my own mind And won't care who does that will be Well, I'll have a cheeseburger

And fries to go and willy bob here I'll have a hot dog with everything. The morning stream. Rambling goes in, podcast comes out. You can't explain that. All right, we're back. That song again was song again is Molly Berman's

brand new track every time this one came out on the EP came out this last Friday, August 20th. The EP is called Fool Me with Flattery and by the way,

she's 19. No, no, no, no, 19. And putting out some amazing music. Molly Berman, B-U-R-M-A-N. Go check her out.

Feels like really great new popular artists are starting younger and younger every year. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. The way things is.

The way things is. Hey. That's not even English. All right. Hey, yo, what do we got here? We got this right here to play. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is Tom Merritt, who joins us today, as he does every Wednesday. We usually we talk about like hot tech headlines of the day and stuff like that, but today might be a little different. Tom, welcome to the show. Well, thank you for having me, Scott and Brian. Oh, thanks for being. It's our pleasure. It is our pleasure, as my dad would say. It is. You cannot measure our pleasure. Yeah, you really can't.

Boy, that's a lost way of speaking. Nobody I know says that anymore. They're all 80, if they said. Oh, yeah, Tina's mom says, pleasure. Yeah, my dad used to say pleasure. She says, place you. Mager. Oh, you sneezed, blaze you.

Blase you? Really, that's good. Place you. Yeah. But anyway, Tom joins us on an interesting week for the Daily Tech News show. Do you want to explain how this thing works and why people should be tuning in because it's a little different? Yeah, so a few things led to this. News often slows down. in August, at least in the tech world.

We have a Daily Tech headline show that can kind of catch the few things that are still happening. And so we thought, while a lot of the world takes vacation in August, even the U.S., people are more likely to take a vacation in the summertime than they are the rest of the year, we thought we'd take a week and try stuff. So it's Experiment Week on Daily Tech News Show. We just asked folks in our pool of contributors if they wanted to try out a show, we'd feature it. Some of these shows might end up becoming part of the Daily Tech News Show world.

Some of them may spin out on their own. Who knows? But this is the middle of Experiment Week. And we've had two great episodes so far. A third one coming today. And two, three more, I think, in the hopper for the rest of the week. That's very cool. And what if they're all amazing to the point that you've, that you do?

just now, well, now they've got to all be on. Now we got eight, seven new shows, everybody. That would be an excellent problem to have. Yeah, it would be right. There are worse problems than that. That's very cool. I'd love the idea of just, I don't know, giving people a chance to do some, you know, some out there stuff and see, see what, not only what sticks, but just kind of see what some of the passions are that come out of this. And so it's just a cool way to do it.

Most people would be like, ah, we're taking a week off and enjoy these reruns. And Tom's like, no. How about we have a week of, like, brand new, really cool, sometimes radical. Take it a week off. Work more. Yeah, do more. Well, my original idea was like maybe a couple people will do some shows, and then I'll do, like, long-form essays, kind of like what I do for the Patreon, the editor's desk on the DTNS Patreon, to fill in whatever extra days. There's no extra days.

We had great ideas. If you missed Monday, Monday was The Tech John. that's Rob Dunwood's project to have a second look at the week's tech news from the perspective of people that look like him. So we had Stephanie Humphrey, who's Tech Life Steph on Twitter and Terrence Gaines, aka Brother Tech. And they talked mostly about facial recognition. This being a pilot, they didn't really pick the week's news necessarily, but they had a deep dive on facial recognition. That seems to have gotten great response. and Rob's really interested in pursuing that somehow.

Yesterday, Amos did tech op ed. So the idea there was to get a guest who's regular on DTNS and spend the whole episode with them. Instead of what we do normally on Daily Tech News show, which is, well, we've got this story, we've got this story, what's your perspective? You know, maybe we got 10 minutes to talk about something in depth. The whole episode was him talking to Aunt Pruitt about photography. So that one's called Photography. for today's users. Today is Ask a Luddite.

Rich Drafelino talks with a tech skeptic about the latest tech news to get the perspective of somebody who neither understands nor maybe wants to understand technology. We've also got a special report from Dan Koppos on the Pegasus Project, a barbecue and tech show coming from Chris Ashley, and a gaming roundup coming from Jen Cutter. Very nice. What a full bunch of content. I think this is really cool. And I assume, I think probably already you have the signs, but if this is a successfully received thing,

this is something you can see more often, maybe, right? At least once you can. Yeah, yeah. We always do a week of special episodes at the end of December for similar reasons because, you know, the news slows down. People have time off, et cetera. And so we'll probably still do the special episodes at the holiday break. But I can see this maybe next summer coming back, if not before. But of course, we want people to let us know what they think about it, too. Well, as far as I'm concerned, the tech story of the week is the school shows showing up on the Daily Tech News show. So you guys go check it out. Big news. Big news, everybody. Breaking, breaking news. Tom, any anything else happening right now? You want to tell people about it? I mean, that's actually the big thing, DailyTeknewshow.com to check that out. Of course, as you know, longtime listeners of TMS now, I've got a book out audio book called Project Vera about a secret society who's influencing the world. but they run into a problem and only Vera can help them. So they have to bring her into the secret world.

So check it out, Project Vera on Audible. Yeah, do check it out. If that art looks familiar, I got to do it. I was really glad to do it. And I'm very happy with how all of that stuff turned out. So go give it a listen. Real actors on that audiobooks. It's cool.

That's cool. And you'll like it. Tom Merritt, Ace Detect on Twitter. Have a fantastic day. Thanks. See you next time. Bye now. I should have mentioned, well, I'll tell them offline, but I won't be here next Wednesday.

Oh, yeah. Because we do, we do take vacations and don't put up, don't do fun stuff. That's right. He's smart because he has like two or three behind the scenes people who make sure stuff gets posted in places and things while he's out. And he doesn't have to worry about hotel connections or having all this gear with him or anything. I really should do more of that. But I don't know. You know how I am.

I'm just like, that sounds like more work than just doing it. I don't know. It does. It doesn't it? Sometimes it does. Sometimes too many cooks in that kitchen, yo. All right. That's Tom for you.

Now, what now? Oh, Nicole, duh. Duh. Yeah. Yeah. Let's get Nicole in here. Oh, she's not online. I'm excited about this.

She rarely is and we get her. That's true. It's a really good point. Let's see if she left me any. She was going to put some files in here. I don't know if that happened. Let's see. Audio for Scott.

Nope. Nata. Zippo. Let's see here. Let's make sure that that's correct. Yeah, I got nothing. I got nothing from her. That doesn't mean anything, though.

It could be just that, you know, she's got a link to share. It could be. Yep. She's going to do it via YouTube or something. Yeah. But we're not getting an answer. So let's see if I pause this show for a second because I have to. Okay.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, you're totally fine. We're all good. Chids are new puppy. Which one was? Or Mark. Which one was?

I'm building a 3D printing club at my kids. school and I've been focused on that. I know I've been seeing the cool lithopane that you did. That's awesome. Oh, now I understand why that was all. I meant to, I was going to ask him like, what's this all about?

Now I get it. That's cool. Yes, I'm going to blow their minds with 3D printing. Yeah, you are. I bet you are. That's awesome. Well done.

Doing cool stuff for kids. That's the way. Yay. Oh, there's a puppy. Oh, there's the dog. Yeah. We might see Mark. Who knows?

All right. I got a puppy on big screen here. There we go. I've got to play your thing. Oh, there. Look. Oh, adorable. Oh, it froze, but it's still.

Oh, no, there's moving now. Oh, so cute. I want a dog. What a cute puppy, puppy. I have three dogs, and I still want a new dog. I'd love it. All right. That's a great freeze frame right there.

Yeah, it's not bad. I make Brian snort. All right. Let's get into this here Recommmental's business that we like to do here on the show. It's recommended stuff we've seen on streaming services

over the last week. We always start with Brian. Do you have a little setup for these? Yeah, this is a first one is a series. I believe I put these in the correct order. First one's short, right? Like 30 seconds. Can you tell?

Yeah, I think so. 35 seconds, yeah. First one. Perfect, yep. This first one is a series and you might skip over this thinking that it's something else, but don't skip it because it is incredible.

And what's funny is you're going to hear a clip sort of from the series, but not from the thing you're watching for in the series. Okay. Interesting. Kind of does. Here it is. Let's play it. Hi, my name is Brian Menz, and I'm the director of Just a Thought.

My inspiration came from my love of comic strips, and I wanted to explore this idea of what would it be like if everybody could see what you were thinking. The exciting thing for me was getting to work with world-class artists. They each brought a little something. to it. It was an idea that started out as mine and became all of ours. So for the look of this short, we really wanted to get the newsprint texture. And one of the great things about Short Circuit was this idea of exploring, innovating, and experimenting. When that first shot came through,

it was like, all right, gamble paid off. No idea. He actually said the name right there. It is called Short Circuit. Now, this is a series on Disney Plus. And you might like see it in the list there and say, oh, it's what is it, like a TV adaptation of the Johnny Five stuff that we're watching for film psych this week? No, this is awesome. What Disney did is they found some other Disney employees who are not directors or not animators, and these employees pitch their ideas for a short, and then they work with the animation department to make it happen. And some of these shorts are done in 2D cell animations. Some of them are done in 3D, like Pixar-e kind of looking stuff.

And this is the coolest series. There's these little animated shorts, and these are as good, sometimes better than the things you see before Pixar films, which are always, you know, those are always good. Some of these are just brilliant. These are like the fun equivalent of love, death, and robots on there. The Disney version. Sure, sure. But little short, short things. Usually only like a couple minutes long, each one.

The second season just came out, and I got to say that Dinosaur Barbarian might be one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Wow. Okay. Yes. So you can get through, you really can get through this entire series. Oh. Sorry. That's all right.

Every episode. Every episode featured. the director, the Disney employee talking about their inspiration for doing this and how they came up with the idea for their short. So you get that, are you isolating that out? No, I just, there was a moment where Nicole yelled what, and then she made a face and it froze on that face for like a really long time. Yeah, it was pretty funny. Sorry. Anyway, so anyway, you can like you say you can get through the whole thing in in like an hour watch all of these because in addition to each short you get a little interview with the director with the

Disney employee who came up with the idea and what was their inspiration for the 100% going to watch this this this is great boy talk about something it'll inspire you and carter and um and matteo and eva love them they'll want to skip right over the here's what inspired me to do this and go right to the short itself the animated part itself. But there have been two seasons. There's only been a couple of them that are like, all right, this feels a little self-agrandized.

I don't know what the word. Like, you know. Mary Sueish, like they're... Yeah, kind of, right? Yeah, it's like, all right, we can skip this one, but don't skip them. Even the ones that are like, you just did this because you love your parents. And fine, we get it.

Love your parents. We don't love your parents. but even like watching the animation of that one is brilliant as well cool i'm in i'm all in on this i didn't even know this existed so i know exactly because you'd be tempted to uh to skip it on disney plus thinking it's something else the first season had 14 episodes the second season had five but um i'm hoping that why so little on the second one do you think i have no idea um i guess death sex and robots or whatever it has had the same thing where they did the same thing right where like the second season was was fewer it probably probably

had something to do with the um uh pandemic yeah who knows yeah it's a big animation's you know production heavy stuff it's not not easy to get stuff done well that's cool that means i get at least 20 of these things or something so you do and they're they're fantastic all in this seems like a good one i'm going to watch this before parasite all right brian i hope so uh my second one is a film that just dropped on one of the streaming services. If I were even to tell you the streaming service that dropped on, you'd probably be able to guess which one it is.

Better not be mine. Well, let's find out. We'll see. We'll see. I'll push play. You did not work on this. We did. just now

together Dios me duet it's in the word you must do it together face each other come on face each other

you're afraid of her you're wise come on he doesn't have peochos guys this is not the pledge of allegiance it's a love song a love song

Try to imagine what it's like to sacrifice everything for another human. Okay? So again? No. Of course again. Is this weird scratching noise part of that or is that from... No, I think that's the dog panting in the background. Is that...

It's Dougie panty. I didn't realize it could pick it off. Dougie. This is so loud. I love it. He's just over here. Oh, it's too funny. That was really funny.

So Weird Tinker got this one and so did Lennonade. It is Coda. This is a brand new movie on Apple TV Plus. Oh, surprise. Brian pulled something from Apple TV Plus. Oh, there's Dougie panting. Oh, my God. Let me see him.

Just throw the dog bed over him to cut down on the noise. Oh, the poor guy. He's looking at him. He's hot, man. It's summer, poor little dude. It's exhausted from walking around. that side of the desk. Yeah, it's hard work. He reminds me of Chris Farley.

Oh, totally. Yeah. I should put him in a little coat. No, perfect. Fat dog in a little coat. Great idea. All right, so the name Coda comes from the acronym, a child of deaf adults. And that's exactly what this story is about. It's about a family of deaf people.

And the daughter, though, is, has full hearing. So she kind of acts as the interpreter for her family with everybody else around them. And it's a big sacrifice that she makes for the family, right? Because she has to go to the dad and the brother are commercial fishermen. And so she has to go to meetings for them and interpret what people are saying and interpret what they're saying back. She needs to go on the boat itself in case something goes wrong and she needs to be able to communicate. And, um, but she is an incredible singer, absolutely amazing singer. And she, uh, gets this opportunity to take her singing further and is torn between one or the other,

her family or this, this dream that she has. Um, Amelia Jones is the, is the actress. And I don't know how they found someone who can not only act and sing as well as she does, but also no sign language so well that, you know, it's clear that she's communicating with the rest of the family. Marley Matlin is the mom. So she's probably the person that you know from, from other things, from so many other things. Oh, yeah. Like, if you grew up in the 80s and watch TV in the 90s, Marley Matlin, if you ever had any character that was deaf, yep, it was her job to come in, yeah, she was awesome. She's really cool. I like her a lot. She is really cool. And she's great in this. It's a very, it's a little bit of a different character.

I mean, she's kind of a little bit of a little hippie sex pot. Her mom and dad are, are a little flirty, very, very involved with each other. And this, so if there's any complaint I had about the movie, there are some, you know, it follows a couple tropes. There's a couple things that are a little predictable, but it's told so well and it's told so beautifully. It takes place in Gloucester. Massachusetts, they're on the coast, and it's, um, it's really, really well done, well presented and well acted. And I got to say, uh, at least in this role, Amelia Jones looks like a young brunette Nicole Spagnolo. Oh, weird. If you find a, if you find a picture of her, um,

Oh, looking at her now. You're not wrong. Weird. Oh, no, I'm curious. She's your doppelganger. she's like a like a like uh i don't know like her wikipedia photo doesn't so much she's like she's like 19 or something but she's young yeah there was a girl on days of our lives that looked like like even i saw it a few times i was like oh that's weird oh really yeah it's like me and the oh here like this shot of her out on a boat that that looks like yes that's Nicole going duggy totally looks like cool and that's actually from the movie yeah send me the picture what's a i'll put it in our i'll put in our chat here yeah stick it in stick it in it in the chat there anyway amelia jones someone to look at someone to watch for

yes exactly there's only 19 man she's killing it that's great she is and she's uh incredibly talented and and um uh does such a great job in this film so it's coda it's on apple tv plus coda with a cota with a cota with a coda child child of death adults is what it stands for oh that's an actual thing i have heard that carter studied uh als not als Yes, ALS. No. American sign language? American sign language.

ASL, ASL. ASL. PSL? PSL? PSL? Yeah, she knows it like fluently and she would probably really like this. And I've heard her. Oh, she probably would.

Yeah. The coded term before. All right. Here's mine. This is, uh, what am I missing? Is that something happened with? Claire Gack. Oh, what she said?

Yes. What the other thing that ASL stands for? Oh, MIRC chats. Yeah, you got to watch out for those guys. I'll get you every time. All right, here's mine. This is a clip from a documentary is your only hint. It'll be obvious that it's not.

Scott did a documentary? I know, weird, weird. I will say it's on Netflix. This might give it away. I don't know. Here it is. I started to get calls from someone who'd use a voice to store. He sounded like Darth Vader with asthma.

and he's telling me he wants the truth to get out. And he said, I want you to come and meet me at the airport. There are pay phones there, and a phone will ring once I'm sure you're alone. I picked up the phone, and he said, well, if you feel under the phone, you'll see there's a key tape there. In those days, there were airport lockers. The key goes to one of those lockers, and inside that locker will be the documents you're looking for. So I tried to find a clip that was the least giveaway of what the thing is. And as I listened to it now, I realize it really gives nothing away.

So you guys probably have no idea here. Yeah, you got nothing. It sounds cool, though. It is cool. It's a very well-made documentary called Myth and Mogul, colon, John DeLorean. Oh, okay. So this whole story about John DeLorean, the building. Cuyden cocaine in his DeLoreans, yep.

The actual creation of the car, that guy himself and his whole life and what his deal was. uh the popularity of the delorean as an iconic piece of history uh weirdly the entire it's like a series of four or five episodes so it's a limited series um they never even mention back to the future not even once oh really surprising because that that really was the thing that put delorians on the map oh big time i think that the popularity and the the sort of collectors now that i'll meet up together every year with their delirians and stuff i don't think any of that exists without back to the future's popularity. It's something that happens. But they did mention a lot of Ireland and they did that because it was built in Belfast. That's where the factory was. And I didn't know any of this stuff.

I didn't know that all of their money and investment came from the British government and that they built these factories in Belfast. And I had no idea. I didn't know any of that was even a thing. There's stuff about that dude's life. I'd never heard before. It was fascinating. He's a bit of a weirdo um a lot of a weirdo and and also you know there's the whole thing with the cocaine thing where it was you know they set up a sting to to catch him and and you know they maybe overstepped a few legal lines to do it but that dude was ready to do it he was desperate to do anything to make money to pay for the rest of the what the company needed and that included selling cocaine if you had to and he got busted for that and um they have video of him all the way up in 2005 when he was

into an enthusiast group of DeLorean lovers talking about two new cars he was building and then ended up just dying in a condo selling watches on eBay. Like it was the weirdest story. The weirdest story. I really liked it because I'd never heard any of this stuff. And almost all of it was new to me except I knew of, you know, the DeLorean mostly because of Back to the Future. I knew about the car. I knew about this guy that was like this eccentric XGM executive. who had his own ideas and was, you know, kind of Elon Musk in his way through the, through the industry and changing things up and whatever. That's all I knew. This thing goes way deep on all of it. His relationships, his family, his wife, his, his legal troubles, his skeezy money scheme

stuff he got up to. Someone in the chat says, I thought he was framed for the cocaine thing. He wasn't. But he was, what do you call that? Entrapped. Oh, yeah. Trapner. Yeah. So he had an under covered dude approached him saying, I hear you're kind of tight on money. I may know a way to help that. And he's like, really? Because what would you, what would it be? And eventually kind of said, well, you know, you don't have to do this, but I got these cocaine connections. And again, he's like, you don't have to do it. But if you want to, we can make a bunch of money. And he agreed to do it. So it was enough technically from from the law's perspective of an entrapment case that it helped him get out of it. But he's

spent a bunch of time in jail as a result. And, you know, you can decide on your own whether you think it was as much entrapment as it was him ready to do whatever he needed to, including illegal things to get things done. I mean, he knew what he was doing. So it's not like he, it's not like he was frame-framed. It's different than that. But anyway, it's, they don't really get into opinion making. It's all just documenting the story.

These are, these are Oscar winning documentarians who've made other stuff. I wrote all that down and then forgot where I put it, so I can't tell you. But it's real good. what they've done in the past. Anyway, it's super fascinating. So if you want to see it... What is it called again? It's called...

Sorry, Myth and Mogul. John DeLorean. That's the full title. It's kind of a dumb title. Cool. Netflix, I'm assuming. Netflix is correct.

It's fairly new. They even got Larry Flint in there for a hot minute. And it was right before he died, so he was looking real old. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, it's interesting. And also, there's a lot of things about the Northern Ireland stuff that I didn't know. And this has a pretty deep history of that. Like, I was surprised how much of that we got.

So you get a lot of the IRA stuff? Yeah, because I didn't realize that, you know, any of this was going on over there. And in some ways, this factory was seen as like the way out of the conflict because it provided so many jobs and it was so exciting and all this stuff. And then, but even then at the factory, they had to have separate entrances for, Catholics and separate entrance for Protestants, and they couldn't work side-by-side in the plays because they just break out and fights and try to kill each other. Like, it was a gnarly deal, and I didn't expect the DeLorean documentary to tell me any of that and not even mention back to the future.

It doesn't hurt it. Yeah, no kidding. It doesn't hurt it that it doesn't tell you that. It's still tons of stuff, but... It's just a surprise. Yeah, just my nerd, my nerd expectations were there and they didn't get met. But it's fascinating, and it's another deep look at what... money and fame and you know the desire to have it all sort of does to people and you know it's

a it's a messy thing so anyway worth seeing uh also it's a reminder that delorians kind of fall apart and are sort of shitty they're not great yeah i remember hearing about that back in the day right when when back to the future was popular you say oh that's such a cool car and then somebody inevitably would say yeah but they're they're pieces of crap yeah they're kind of junky and they were junkie. They addressed some of that. But even like, what was it? Comedians and cars getting coffee.

Jerry was supposed to drive around with Pat and Oswald. Oh, right. And that was, that was dying. We had to, like, take another car. Yeah, they had to choose another car. So, you know, the, it's just such a interesting mixed bag. And there's enough time has passed.

You can really look at this with fresh eyes. And I really, really liked it. So as usual, Netflix puts out, really, I think great first run documentaries. This is one of those for sure. Myth and Muggle. John Delorean. Okay. Very cool. Nicole Spagnolo.

I bet I know what Nicole's going to pick. I have no idea. What do you got over there, Nicole? Well, first. Actor in it? A huge. A few. A few of them.

A huge act of an actor? No, no, no. Oh, really? Okay. I wanted to ask you, did you see the little movie that Mateo made with Ava? No. No? Did you put this up on Facebook?

Mark tweeted in July, and I kept meaning to bring it up because Mateo wanted to film, and so he filmed all these different shots, and Mark turned it into like a little mini horror film. I want to see this. I've never seen this. I'm with a leg in here, so you can see it. Please do, yes. And there's music with it too. There's music with it too. And that gives it the creepy factor.

Wow. I'm going to totally watch this after the show today. I'm so excited. I didn't know you guys did this. Eva does a jump scare. Ooh, it's already creepy. I know like the music that just like the first split second before I get it pause.

Yeah, it's already weird, man. All right. I put the link in the chat for anybody that wants to check out the little, I mean, it's like not even a minute long. I think it might be 30 seconds. Wow. Ava makes a good freaky kid on the road kind of kid.

Well, she put on her Anna black velvet dress and it just kind of fit. That's great. You've heard it here first. My son might become a director. Who knows? But it cracked me up that they are playing with

movies and stuff like that. But that's not my movie pick. Okay. Though I love my kids. Sure. I'll give you the trailer. I didn't create a clip, so it's going to be pretty obvious. And I'm sure you've already talked about it, but I know I don't remember being a recommendal, so I'm officially making it a recommendal.

All right. All right. Here you go. Here's my clip. Waiting for the paste. Here we go. Oh, yeah, we absolutely have, but it's okay. In fact, we did a full film sack on this, but here it is.

That's what I was guessing. Yeah. Enjoy it. Let's see if this will work. Robert Dubois. He's in prison for putting Superman in the ICU with a kryptonite bullet. I'm not joining your suicide squad. We'll see.

My court need is coming up. Miss Waller said me... Ask you! What's it in my door? If you would stand down. Miss Waller, I don't... Stand down! Amanda Waller...

I wouldn't take such extreme measures. If this mission went more... This mission weren't more important than you could possibly imagine. Are you in or out? Good. Let's meet your team. Each member is chosen for his or her own completely unique set of abilities. Okay.

I'm sorry I'm late. I had to go number two. Good to know. I had to go number two. She's so good enough. So, yes, it is the Suicide Squad, two, even though there's no two in the title. It's like, la, la, la, la, the first one didn't happen. Well, I mean, they sort of acknowledge it did because you got half the cat, not half the cast, but like a 30-year cast is the same.

Three people, four people from the cast. Not bloodshot. That was supposed to be Will Smith. No, well, no, blood. Yeah, but that's not bloodshot. That's a different character, though. That's blood sport. Totally different character.

Who was Will Smith? Bloodshot, or not bloodshot. Dead shot. So Deadshot was Will Smith. A different character. This isn't them trying to replace the same character. It's totally different dude. I was so happy not to see Will Smith

in this. Yeah. Right. Nope. He couldn't do it because he's making that a, there's some new thing where he's the Serena Williams' dad or something. That's supposed to be good. He was busy with that. Couldn't come back and do it here.

So we're like, let's take this other character, this blood sport dude. And he'll be in charge of things. He's also a sharp shooty guy, which is consistent because the comic has always got one of those guys in it. They're always in it. And then they leave this open. So if there's a sequel or a follow-up or whatever, James Gunn does anything new,

the possibility of Will Smith coming back is still in the, it's still possible. Don't bring him back. You don't like Big Willie. You don't want to go Big Willie style. No, he is not believable as a bad guy at all whatsoever. He takes me out of the movie when he shows up. And, but I, but I, yeah, welcome to Earth. That's right.

But I absolutely love, I had to watch, it's three hours long. Yeah. So I had to break it up into two sessions because, you know, kids. But, um, a little gory, little bloody. Yeah, not for the little ones. No, no, no. Yeah, absolutely not. This is not a Marvel movie, but it felt like an R-rated Marvel movie for me.

with DC characters. Yeah, very Deadpool and Deadpool 2 kind of on that level. Yeah. Yeah, but also, I love that I laughed. I love that. You can also, you can feel the James Gunn. Guardians of the Galaxy. Yeah.

Definitely felt his guardians thing, even though it was more violent swearing and all of that. It still kind of had that flavor to it, yeah. Yeah, that's good. I loved it. I loved every second of it. I've seen it twice now, once with Kim, once for FilmSack. I want to see it again. why did you film sack this movie well we do it once in a while we'll do like a brand new movie

and then we did it with star wars we did it with uh what was that the zombie army of the dead army of the dead so it just depends we you know now that we live in a time where premieres are often happening at home as well as theaters we'll make exceptions and go all right we're doing a brand new one and that's what this was but gotcha but we loved it yeah so i think it's i think it's september was it september 6 or something like that you have until then to watch it on HBO Max. Yep. Yeah.

Then it's the beginning of September, which I highly recommend if you have HBO Max. Yeah.

I absolutely loved it. I was really happy to see a good DC movie. Did you have a favorite character in the whole thing? Harley Quinn's my

favorite. I love her. She's really good. She's so good. I, I loved the scene with the flowers.

Like the oh yes right her what's what you're saying in harley's mind is she's yes yes yeah i really enjoyed that scene even though i know what was really happening yeah i appreciated the flowers yeah it's pretty great i really enjoyed uh this voice enjoy book so much i just liked sylvestre ston oh i loved him too yeah stelvestre ston as camp shark was a brilliant idea and i'm glad they hired him for that that was really good yeah yeah who was it was it was Stallone Sylvester Stallone who was it yeah I didn't know that yeah you can hear it now yeah you can tell him once you know oh that's awesome bird oh he was great yeah he's really

good even doing a voice in that like that's his actual that's just him talking right that's just him doing rocky again yeah yeah it's uh it's wonderful and I can't recommend enough unless you're you know under 13 and yeah no no no no kids no kids this is not a marvel type movie this is definitely not no but it has it has heart to it that I didn't expect that's the part that really comes off and I think maybe that's a James gun signature thing but you know there are moments of you know rat catcher two I did not expect to just have her be the heart of the film in such a meaningful way and and I loved that and I loved her Taika Watiti backstory father stuff

It's just a nice, you know, thing. And her, she's really the only thing that ever really gets to the, to, uh, blood sports humanity and she's really good at doing that. Like, it's just an awesome, it is an awesome rad movie with a lot of blood and swearing. So just know that. Okay. And some comedy. I mean, there's some.

Some genuinely funny stuff. The first scene is like, what? So funny. Yeah. Like, oh, I guess, I guess we're going down the. Game of Thrones route. Yeah, a little bit. You know what I learned was,

because James Gunn put up a clip of behind the scenes sort of shooting clip of when they made the stuff, I can't think of the actor's name. But anyway, the guy's sitting in the square cement box and kills the bird with the ball. Oh, Rooker. Michael Rooker. There was not only, I mean, I knew they didn't actually kill a bird, right? Of course.

Yeah. There was no ball. The ball doesn't exist. Oh, really? So the whole thing is... Even when he's bouncing it. It's like bouncing it. He's just doing this with his hand. They put that all in later.

It's a CGI ball. I never would have known. It's crazy. I love effects like that where it's like you never know unless someone told you. And then you find out and you're like, what the frick? Anyway, it's really good. The suicide squad. Forrest Gump.

When he's playing ping pong, there's no, like the ball was all CGI. Yeah. And it looked good, right? It looks legit. Totally believable, yes. Yeah, unlike his conversation with, like, Nixon or whatever, that look pretty bad. Oh, God, those weird, yeah, weird uncanny valley mouth-moving moments. We're so much better at that stuff now that we, it would look so much better.

If they ever do like a re-release of that, just fix that. The rest is fine. Everything else holds up. Sure. I know what love is, Jenny. All right. Nicole, good deal. If you're going to watch any of these things and you're like, man, I don't remember anything they said,

Follow Nicole on Twitter, Nicole Spag, and she'll put them on there. That's the... I tweet it out. Yeah, she'll tweet it. And also at at Recommendals.com, which you have to figure out how to spell that. Ha! Good luck. Yeah, good luck.

And I also put a hashtag in the Tadpool Facebook group. Oh, nice. You can actually just click on Recommendals and see almost everything. I mean, I think I've been doing that for about a year now. Yeah, you can find them all. And if you're really desperate, I'll just ask one of us and I'll tell you. It's fine. Nicole Spagg, everybody.

Have a fantastic. week and whoever you're yelling at earlier. I hope they're okay. Bye now. All right. I didn't ask who, but that cracked me up so bad. Oh, shoot. I hung up on everybody. Damn it. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. Now, now, okay. Oh, hi. Oh, hi. I asked that up. Why is my camera on? Hold on. Okay. Oh, I guess it's just us. Hey, cool. How you been? Hey, when I do that. I don't do it very often, but I'll leave the call instead of me kicking her out. Right.

It's always really funny. Yeah. I'm glad that worked out for everyone else. All right. Hey. Hey. Hey. How about this, Brian?

Hey. Got a little bit of left stuff here. How about this email from Jacob Pillows? All right. Those aren't pillows. Those aren't pillows. Jacob wrote in from the Locust Cider and Brewing Company. And I just thought this would be cool.

It says, hi, guys. Love the show. I have been a fan. for maybe a year of listening, but I like it a lot. I first started listening to The Instance and then branched into this. Anyway, the reason I'm writing with you today is because I hear Brian talk from time to time about drinking hard ciders. That's true.

I love me, hard cider. That's my favorite. That's my non-licker drink of choice is hard cider. He says, I run a tap room here in Lakewood, Colorado. He says, I know Brian lives in Colorado, I think, around Denver. This place is called Locus Cider, and we're based out of Washington and have a few locations in Colorado. I'm extending an invite to Brian to come try

some of our, or come enjoy some of our delicious ciders. I wouldn't mind meeting him in person and chatting over a pint, maybe even hosting some sort of live recording type thing. I know that's a lot all at once, but most importantly, I wouldn't mind getting Brian out here to try some. Anyways, I'll keep listening and enjoying it.

Thanks for all your time. Have a great week. Jacob, well, Jacob, I don't think you have to beg Brian too hard for this. No, this is great. I'm totally going to this place. Not only, so it's in Belmar, which is not too, it's not too far. As a matter of fact, there's a brand new In-N-Out Burger that just opened up in Belmar

and is the closest In-N-Out Burger to my location. But also retro video games for young and old. I mean, you had me at Cider, but now you've really got me for retro video game. Yeah, he buried the lead. Totally did. Oh, my gosh. All right.

Well, now I kind of want to go. All right. There's a bolder location, too. But he runs the Belmar one. So, yeah, I'm totally coming. I'm totally coming. We'll figure out. We'll make a plan for me to come down there. What do you call it a tapmaster? Or is it? Tapmaster.

He runs a tap room. I run a tap room. Sorry. I don't know why I heard tap master in my head. Tap master. That's more like Gregory Hines. He's your tap master. No pops and recline. I don't geolocate everything based on proximity fast food. I just know that there was all the excitement of Belmar getting an In-N-Out Burger because we didn't have them in Colorado until last year. Right. So.

It's a time landmark. Okay. That's what that is. Right. Exactly. I mean, I'll still go to Freddy's over In-N-Out. But there's still the novelty of In-N-Out burger every once in a while. Sure.

Sure. So, yes. Jacob, let's talk. Email me. Coverville. at gmail.com and let's figure something out yeah get it all hooked up plus we'd love to give you you know promotion and you know talk about your rad place and have other

colorado people go there and check it out have a Denver tadpool meet up there maybe get um my buddy to do a trivia game there or something yeah and yes claire i get it you know she's talking about a cider from a company called dixon and uh they make a hard cider do they a hard cider dixon how i see where she's going there i get it yes yes she's a Dirty, dirty vegan. Dirty vegan. That's what she is.

All right. Let's move on and out of here. If you want to be like Jacob here or any of our email or send your emails to the morning stream at gmail.com, that's the morning stream at gmail.com. And if you'd like to support the show, even for as little as a dollar a month for just massive amounts of contents, just kind of ridiculous what we did to ourselves, go take advantage of us at patreon.com slash TMS. it's a great way to support the show and pursue shows that have poor planning and aren't good at pricing things.

Who didn't think for, didn't think ahead enough. Yeah, we didn't, whatever. Everyone else charges per episode. No, we charge per month for 16 of them. Per month for a dollar. For a dollar. Yeah. And all you have to have is a dollar.

I mean, what did we even, what did we do? What have we done? Good Lord. Yeah. So go take advantage of it. You know, if you're just paying a dollar and you're getting 20 episodes, I'll bet you feel really guilty. I bet you really want to up that. And don't forget, you know, we still have the Frog Pants All-Stars monthly game as a stretch goal.

I'm never given up on that. Me either. We've had it there since 2014, but we're holding our guns on that. Turn right. Yeah, at some point. Come on, people. Make it happen. All right, that's it.

Frogpans.com slash TMS for everything else. We're out of here. Let's get out with music in our hearts.
