Starting point is 00:00:13 43 strikes and you're out. Luke, I am your testicles. You wanted to go scrotum. There's a cho in that show. I don't know. Ring around the mouth hole. It was Dan Hediah the whole time. What did I say?
Starting point is 00:00:24 Shut up. Tom's Tech Time. Recommendals and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Redo. Reuse. I could use three more inches of meat. This is the morning stream. It's just what the doctor ordered day.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to TMS. This is the morning stream, and it's Wednesday, September 29th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson. That guy right there is Brian Ibid. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. It's me. Do-de-doo. Hey, you know my favorite. Hello is music. Let's play it. It's this right here. Hello, that's my favorite. That was my prediction. Yeah. Of all the hellos, that's the one I want to reply to and say, oh, hey, good morning. What's up? That is a good hello. Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, as far as hello's go, that's a good hello. Yeah. But you have to blink 183 times before you can, you can say it.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, see where I was going there. Actually, 182 times first. I want to blink 182. Why did Blake 183? Or maybe it's 181 times before you do that one? I don't know. 183 sounded right in my head, but it's wrong.
Starting point is 00:01:54 A lot of things are wrong. Listen, I know, I think I know what the problem is. I got it. My wife's out of town and everything's zuffed up. This morning, I was telling Brian and pre-show. Usually I try to have show notes done, if not the night before, maybe an hour before the show, something like that. Just try to have them up there and ready. And maybe a couple tweaks right before airtime or whatever.
Starting point is 00:02:17 But I thought I did last night. And I didn't. I completely didn't notice even until about 10 minutes before. I'm kind of having my leisurely morning and come down here. I'm like, all right, we're doing a show. show. Let's get in the headspace. And I look at the notes and go, there are no notes. There's not even a tab. We don't have anything. Not even a tab. Like, not even the empty notes. And I never know whether or not to message you or something and say, uh, we're doing a show today? There's no
Starting point is 00:02:45 notes. Because like, yeah, I'm getting to it. You know, it's like, patience, man. No, in this case, in this case, had you said it, I would have gone, really? There's no notes. Oh, hold on a minute. And then I would realize what I'd done. So there was that. And then there had been a few. couple other things in the last day or two where I'm just like, did I not do that? Did I miss the garbage can? Or did I put it in the wrong place? Or like, all these kind of things.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And I've got it figured out. My wife has been gone for more than two days. And that's all it takes. Last night, a week old jumbalaya leftovers that if I'm honest, we're just south of, just north of south, if you know what I'm saying? Just on this side of questionable? Yeah. And then I followed that up with something else.
Starting point is 00:03:29 What was it? Oh, leftover cold pizza because that's what we've been reduced to here. And it's a bad thing, man. I need her to get here. And, you know, let's make it all right again. She gets here tonight. I was going to ask you, how long has she gone? So she's back tonight. Yeah, tonight. The world gets back on its axis. Yep. Right. We bring balance back to the force is what we do. That's right. And I'm excited because. Uh, man, I've had it. I'm not good on my own.
Starting point is 00:04:02 I do love it when you, uh, talk about jambly because in the show notes, it's always jambolia. Like, uh, this, this weird spelling that, uh, Jambolia. Jambolia. I can never be bothered to spell it properly. Let me try it again if I'm really thinking. All right. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Let's see how you do. Okay. I'll go J.A. Uh-huh. So far so good. M, right? Uh-huh. Yep.
Starting point is 00:04:24 B. Yep. O. L. H. Hold on. B-Y No J-A-M-B-A-L
Starting point is 00:04:34 J-A-M-B-A-L-A Oh, so close Y-A-L-A-Y-A There you go They're done Jamba Laya Got it Only took 100 years
Starting point is 00:04:46 To get rid of I don't know why I do that Because it's quick and easy I don't make it sound Yeah, no I know And it's always It's funny I kid, I kid
Starting point is 00:04:56 Yeah, you have good time with it That's okay All right Dunaway time, perhaps. Now, this is the thing that we've missed because we didn't have a show Monday. That's right. No, no Monday. It felt weird, right?
Starting point is 00:05:08 We've got a whole new, a whole new batch of questions for the feud, like a whole new survey. By the way, if you have not yet filled out the survey, go to tiny.c.c. slash tadpool survey. Sweet. Is that right? No, I'm sorry, tadpool feud. Fude. Tadpool feud.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Tiny. dot c c tadpool feud all lowercase all one word okay excellent uh and i meant to did i ever tweet that i thought i did maybe i didn't uh you didn't and i need to give you just i'll write a tweet or you can i can type it in here and you can yeah like that we can do that let's totally do that we can totally do that tiny dot cc slash tadpool fud feud yep jumbola jambolia lo loo jumbolia jambolia Welcome our old pal, Brian Dunaway, to the show. Brian, we've missed you terribly. Hello.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. Hello. How are you guys? We're fine. Good. How are you? Kind of startled me a little bit.
Starting point is 00:06:10 You're a couple of minutes early than usually do, but I figured maybe they don't have show notes or something. I don't know. Maybe they're just swinging it. We might be. Flying without a net today. Feels like it. Welcome to our circus.
Starting point is 00:06:23 It's good to have you here, though. We missed you Monday. And you've had a busy week. Oh, man. Busy week, too. I missed you. I missed you guys, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Well, it's good to have you here. And for those who didn't notice, yes, there was no boop show on Monday because Brian had a thing. And we just could not. Well, we didn't have any show notes. Well, that's the other reason. No show notes. Turns out you need show notes to do a show. Yeah, it's kind of a thing.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Oddly, there's more truth than that than you may believe. My air conditioning went out. And so being in my office and doing show notes and doing the gaming was insufferable. so I didn't do it. So we couldn't do his show because there'll be no quality. Yeah, you can't have that. You can't have no quality. You've got to have quality, right?
Starting point is 00:07:02 Must have quality. Yeah, that's a rule. That's a rule I have. Must have quality. Well, all right, we're going to have a quality time together today. We're going to play the Tad Pooley feud. And we're going to welcome to the show, a listener who just called in. Let's find out who's waiting here on the line.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Hi, who's this? Hi, it's Amy, Redfragel. Well, hello. Amy. Amy, always a pleasure to hear Amy call in. How's your fundraiser going, by the way? And you want to mention that real quick? We should do that real fast.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah, yeah. That would be, that's great. Yeah, I've had a few donations from the Tadful. Thank you guys very much who have donated. So, yeah, I am doing a charity ride in November for the Cystic Fibiris Foundation. So the URL for that, if anybody would like to contribute, is tiny URL.com slash red braggle bike. And I'll throw it in the chat. bike b i k e uh not this one does not care if you capitalize or lowercase unlike tiny dot cc so yeah yeah

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 Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Now, Amy, your job is more important than ever because you're actually going to be working with either Scott or Brian, and if your team wins, you get a prize package that includes Kingdom Come deliverance. Oh, I like that game. Oh, it's a good one. And almost there, the platformer. Oh, I haven't... Why is that one not ringing a bell?
Starting point is 00:08:54 I don't know what that one. I don't know that one. I'm sure it's good. Well, they're both good, and you can't say otherwise. You can't convince me otherwise. I'm not saying they're not good. I know, I'm kidding. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:06 When is a host coming in to the Tad Pooley feud? Oh, you want that? You want a host to, what do you mean? I want a host in the Tad Pooley feud. Oh, let me just run the board. All right, let's run the board. Okay. Host is now here.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Okay. Oh, I see what you means. I'm like, well, Ryan is the host, and now I was confused. Yeah, no, I hadn't started the board yet. It's about Tom I did. By the way, those came from Wesley. So big thanks to Wesley for sitting in those coaches.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Wesley! We like Wesley. He's great. All right. This one got a lot of responses, but also had a large number of passes, like people saying pass. About 50 people passed on this one. You're all crazy for passing on this. This is such a fun one.
Starting point is 00:09:46 This one took a long time, by the way, to assimilate because answers were We're all written in different language, like different ways. So I had to parse them down into something that's usable. And because you guys are both on film sack, you guys should be really good with this one. All right. Put your hands on your buzzards and give me an answer to this. What is your favorite movie trope? Scott was in first?
Starting point is 00:10:16 Favorite movie trope would be the world. is ending. It's end of the world. Apocalypse. Dystopia, whatever that is. Yep, like a post-apocalyptic world. You did the thing I do. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Post-apapolitic. Show me post-apacopalipolitic. Damn it. Tadpool. You let me down. Brian, wide open board. You can steal. Hmm. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:10:48 So, now I'm worried because I thought Scots was a good answer Yeah, I did too I was over here Good answer in it Okay Movie tropes There's so many of them though
Starting point is 00:11:00 We'll just go with some of the ones We did this past week What was something we did last week Um Morpheus takes the blue bill How about shitty parents? We're always talking about All parents are stupid
Starting point is 00:11:16 Happy Yeah, it's a good one Show me Show me shitty parents Clueless parents on the board. God, where is it? It is number 11 on the board. Really?
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yes. The problem, there's so many tropes. Oh, my God. I was surprised to how many, like, you know, people did tend to settle into these 10 categories. All right. Well, let's keep going. You know what, Amy?
Starting point is 00:11:46 I'm a little nervous now. And here's, well, no, there's nobody, she hasn't gotten to join anybody, but if you can give me one on the board, I'll let you pick who you play with. And you guys can go first. How about the ignored scientist?
Starting point is 00:12:02 The ignored? The ignored scientist. Okay. Go. Let's go. That is always in the movies, though. Yes. Like, they don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:14 This is hard. I thought it would be. Yeah, it's down on there, but it's not the top 10. All right. We'll just keep going until you get, so it's a movie. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:12:29 What about that? Danville in distress. How about that? Ooh, see, that's a good basic one. There you go. Classic. That's brilliant. Classic turp.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Oh, no. It was making the noise. Damsel and distress is way down, way down on the list. We're thinking about it wrong. We're thinking about it wrong. Okay, we've got to think about the tadpool. What would the tadpool say? It doesn't have to.
Starting point is 00:12:50 To be true, just has to be what the tadpull would say. Yeah. So would they say, whose turn is it now? You know, I reset the buzzers so you guys can buzz and take another guess. All right, Brian. I'm going to go chick in the bucket just because there's tadpoolers and they listen to the film sack. Maybe we could do that. Why not?
Starting point is 00:13:11 Let's try it. All right, show me chicken the bucket. It made it to number one answer. Are you kidding me? well now that's what they're doing oh geez all right don't don't get too hung up on that
Starting point is 00:13:26 on okay so that was a one-off ones that were specifically from film sec okay oh shoot the rest of these are very tropey tropes
Starting point is 00:13:37 trope tropes and I'm going to be very generous by the way you just you just haven't been close enough for me to be generous for these I can I can I can bend, but I can't break these guys.
Starting point is 00:13:51 He's a generous lover and host. Right, right. So Brian, you're teamed up with Amy. Okay. Let's see what you two can come up with. Okay. You've gotten any ideas, Amy, off top of your head anymore? The gym's back there.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Wow. Okay. So, yeah, like, stupid parents was the one that I put in the pole, but we know that one's wrong. So, it's a great one. Let's see. I mean It's like what's a
Starting point is 00:14:20 That was a great one You know Yeah You don't think like they think Or else you're opposed Whatever that even means They're all robots and zombies I don't know how you think like they do
Starting point is 00:14:30 Robots and zombies Maybe Hey I'll shut up now How about like a animal Sidekick Like there's You know
Starting point is 00:14:41 Even an apocalyptic movie There's always like a lovable animal sidekick. Yeah, everybody's always got a little lovable sidekick. You're right. Okay, show me lovable sidekick. Damn.
Starting point is 00:14:58 That's a good one, though. Now I don't know what to do. All right. I know. I know. I don't want this one to be over quickly. I wanted to... My favorite part is the fact that Emmett set this up for failure by going, you guys both do films, Zach. This is going to be super
Starting point is 00:15:12 easy. I know, because we're We talk about a lot of these so much, but... In this disappointment, it just slowly goes down the bowl. I mention that you guys have 43 strikes each. I'm going to give you each 43 strikes. All right. I'll go with the old guy knows everything. Obi-1 Kenobi-Trope.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Oh, that's a good one. That's actually the first one I've heard that was really good. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I like it, but I don't know. I don't know. I'm not feeling confident, but I will say, they'll be one factor, and it seems like every movie does it now. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Show me the wise old man. Damn it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's, uh, it is, number 15 is wise old man. Maybe we're, maybe we're trying to narrow. Maybe, maybe, like. I thought, I thought, I thought, that's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Yeah, maybe you go bigger. And if, if you're not specific enough, I'll ask you to, uh, to pair it down. I got worried because when you said post apoptyliptic, I thought, okay, okay, that's too wide. And the wrong letters, but yeah, yeah. What I say, what I say? The way you pronounced it, you're fine. You just, you have a good time with that word.
Starting point is 00:16:29 How many strikes you got? All right, shut up. I'm going to go with, how about the heist trope? It's just a bigger, bigger, broader. It's full of so many tropes. It feels like we're starting to tickle genres, but maybe that's what they're thinking in the tadpool. You know?
Starting point is 00:16:51 Like full genres. Right. I'm going to do it. Why not? Let's go with the trope of the heist. The heist trope. A lot of people said it, one last heist. Show me. Is it on the board?
Starting point is 00:17:04 It was not. One last heist was on the board, and it was uh... But that got me thinking, though. That got me thinking. I got some ideas now. Yeah, I mean, you know, the one last heist is a common trope. So that's a good thing to think along the lines of. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Okay, so that makes sense. Okay, that gives me a hint. Yeah, trope is a really wide, wide subject. Yeah. Well, I don't know if that would count. There's so many fights in the tadpool right now. That's not a trope. Oh, no, that's totally a trope.
Starting point is 00:17:40 No, that's a setting. Yeah, settings, genres. Once again, once again, don't argue with the chat room. This is what the tadpool thinks. This is not what is reality. Exactly, exactly. Oh, I just thought of one. This is a trope in everything.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Movies, video games, TV. Yep. What would you call it, though? Like Neo, Luke, the chosen one. The chosen one. Yeah, the chosen one. Show me the chosen one. A real good one.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Number three. Okay, now we're maybe we're getting somewhere here. That was the good answer. Damn. Back on the rails. Yep. That took a minute. Randy, by the way, I can hear him just screaming at his phone or whatever he listens to podcast on right now.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Let's get his, let's get his thoughts. But his scream is like this. Oh, you guys. Right. You should. Here, let's see what he says. Randy, your thoughts? You can go through the naked people.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Oh. We can go through the naked people. Show me. You can go through the naked people. That's a porn trope. All right, let's see.
Starting point is 00:18:48 It's a Saturday night to live itself. Unending... Actually, I take that back. I'm going to hold that one. Let's do the bad mini boss, or not mini boss. The bad henchmen, henchmen who... I'm thinking of Stormtroopers. I can't get out of Star Wars here, but let's say Stormtroopers are just...
Starting point is 00:19:08 No, it's a great idea, though. They're just bumbling. I know what you're describing. And I think I see the paint you're painting with here. Show me those bad henchmen that suck and can't do anything. Oh. Yes, the henchmen can't aim trope. Oh, they used the word henchmen in there even.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Oh, and it's a lower one too, you lucky dog. I know. That's good points right there on the board. Okay. All right, I feel like I've got a chance here. Mm-hmm. Uh, um, oh, okay, I'll do the other one, I guess. Except I don't remember what it was.
Starting point is 00:19:48 It's pizza and an old, old jambalaya here. Jambolia, yeah, some of that old jambolias kicking in, kicking out. Um, let's go with guns that never seem to run out of ammo. Ammo. Amilless guns. Unlimited ammo, yeah. Unlimited ammo. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Show me. Unlimited. Amundit Ammunition At number 20 on the list It helps to know it was on the list That actually Yes
Starting point is 00:20:16 Yeah yeah And high enough on the list too Brian and Amy This is your last strike Let's try and get some points On the board Oh dear Okay
Starting point is 00:20:26 Well I had an idea Interestingly enough Kind of spurred by the The clip of Randy saying Naked people What about like the trope Where, like, after sex, the woman always pulls up the sheets up over her chest. You know, like, I don't know if that's a good answer or not.
Starting point is 00:20:48 But if you have a better one, Brian, I'll go with it. I like that. All of a sudden, I'm too shy. Yeah. That's funny you bring that up because this is, I'm not kidding about this. I'm watching the wire. I'm in season, I'm finishing, or I just finished season two. And there's a scene in that thing where I went.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Oh, this show doesn't do that. Like, most shows, even the hot and heavy crap on HBO, always do the pull the sheet up thing. But in this scene, they didn't. And I went, oh, well, that's, you're going against type here because you're HBO, I guess, and this is what you do in the wire. But, yeah. Amy, I'm down with this.
Starting point is 00:21:25 But what if we modified a little bit? When you said that, it made me think that, you know, there's always the, the homely girl. that turns into the haiti and she's usually the one that like makes those bad decisions and then pulls her little sheet up on her is that oh yeah that's no but that's that's that's really good like glasses make you ugly is a great true right right like like all you need for a makeover is to remove is to cut your hair and remove your glasses and then suddenly you're hot i actually like that you're hot trope how about that yeah is that is that kind of a generous lover he's a generous lover. He's going to help you here. What are you going to give him, Brian?
Starting point is 00:22:08 Right. All right. Is that what you're going with? Yes. Okay. Show me the glasses. Take those glasses off. Whoa, look at the swan. Oh. Yes. Hot girl was hiding behind glasses the whole time. Nice. That's a long answer. Oh, my. It's the longest one to fit onto a tadpully feud box.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Wow. We had to really work that one in, man. Good, good, good, God. Okay. I was worried. I was worried. Yeah. Now I'm thinking about, there's so many great romantic tropes.
Starting point is 00:22:46 I mean, all the romance movies seem to be just like tropesville. Oh, they're just full of them. Yeah. Okay, stay. Wait, no more. No more sexy girls. Okay. From a librarian to sexy girl.
Starting point is 00:22:59 I'm going to help you guys both out because you both are on two strikes. Think action movies. Okay. Slasher movies. I think a bullet explodes the car. How about that? Like, all you have to do is shoot, you know, you hit a car with one bullet and it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Everything is flammable. Cars always explode. All right. Yeah. Everything is flammable, yeah. That's a good one. Show me the exploding car. Yep.
Starting point is 00:23:26 And it even includes the slow motion walk away by the hero who doesn't even look back to see that the car exploded behind them. Damn. Very good. All right. That was a good one. This is good. I think you guys, if you get.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Low points, but high on the board. Right, right, right. Oh, let's see. How about the, Scott's already said that one?
Starting point is 00:23:47 Oh, man. Oh, I think I'm watching films in my head right now. Going through him. Why am I thinking of the bandits? Everything in the bandits seemed like a trope, but it's not.
Starting point is 00:23:58 The bandits? Oh, the, Billy Bob Thornton, Bruce Willis? Billy Bob Thornton, right. I never saw it. Did we see that?
Starting point is 00:24:05 Did we see that? Oh, I don't remember that. Did we really? Yeah. I don't remember that. What about a bad guy monologue? Oh, that's good. Does that count as a trope?
Starting point is 00:24:18 Yeah, let's get glass up here and let it do this little monologue here. Yeah. All right. Show me those exact words that Amy just said. Oh. Bad guy monologue. Nice. Yeah, and it's number 10, which means a big point.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Big points. That's good points. Yeah. No, you've foiled my plans for the last time. I'm going to take this bomb and put it into the city's water supply. That's right. And I'm going to do it with these five or six logistical choices and the people involved are these names. And the Achilles heel of that machine is the fact that it doesn't work if you split this one switch.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Yeah, it's very skeletor. I love it. Yep. All right. Four more answers. on the board. How about everybody's related? How about that? Okay. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Like, uh-huh. Yeah. Everybody's a Skywalker. You're my father. Oh, that's a good one. Star Wars is a good place to hang out for tropes. I think that's a smart one. It is. All right. Show me the, Luke, I'm your father, brother, sister, mother, cousins, babysitter with the huge testicles. Oh.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Number 13 on the list. It was the, you know, the the mysterious connections, the family connections, the surprise connections. Can I do one, one guess that I've been holding?
Starting point is 00:25:42 Well, you still have one guess. Oh, yeah, I still have a thing. Okay. Yeah. The lone, I don't know if it's the same as the lone gunman, but I'm thinking of like John McLean in the Akitomi,
Starting point is 00:25:56 just by himself has to take on everybody. One guy versus everybody. I don't know if that's in there or not, but something like that. All right. Okay, let's see if it's in there. Show me a lone gun McLean. Are you kidding me? It's number. It is in here.
Starting point is 00:26:14 It is the lone wolf, loan. Where is it? Yeah. There's so many of them, like all the old spaghetti westerns and movies like Logan and John Wick and they're all that. Yeah, yeah. Well, there's another trope that the John Wick thing falls into and we'll get to that in the second year. But first off, Amy wins, so congratulations, Amy. Congratulations, Amy.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Good job. That was, I was sweating that for a little while. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. By the hair of your chinny chin. All right, Brian. That's right. Okay, let's look at the last four here. Show me number four.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Will. Not really a trope, but just a thing that... Once again, I'm sick of people in the movies. Yeah, Tedpool. Tedpool sees it as a trope. Yeah. Yeah, this is the one that kind of the John Wick, the taken, the stuff like that falls into. Give my daughter back.
Starting point is 00:27:08 What is it? Secret anti-hero. So the guy who's kind of a badass, but you don't know he's a badass until somebody shoots his dog, takes his daughter. Right. If you guys want to see a trailer for a cool one of those coming out, there's a movie with, we thought you was a toad. What's his name? Oh, really? Tim Blake Nelson.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Tim Blake Nelson. It's a thing called Old Henry. It's a Western. I will see anything that has Tim Blake Nelson. He is, for me, the unsung hero of that Netflix, cowboy thing. Oh, the Cohen Brothers thing. The ballad of Buster Scruggs. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Yeah, he's Buster Scruggs. He was Buster Scruggs. Yeah, whatever the same was. No, he's great, dude. He'll do no harm. And in this movie, it's one of those, I don't stuff in my past I ain't proud of. one of those tropes.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Literally every Liam Deeson movie, too, from now on. Like, even though he's not still playing the Taken dude, everything could just be called taken. Now he's on a train. Yeah, yeah. I've got some skills. I love it. Oh, the chat room's got a good one.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Chatroom says all aliens speak English. Is that one on there? Oh, that's a good one. Surprisingly not. There is alien invasion, but it didn't make the list. All right, let's see who's last two. Number seven, let's split up. Now, I would have accepted any slasher movie, let's have sex while a killer's on the loose or, well, let's run upstairs from the killer, things like that.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Yeah. We should have thought of that one. Halloween's coming up. I should have thought of that one. I failed about it. Somebody in the chat room suggested the black guy dies first. So, yeah. Oh, yeah. That would have probably fallen under that header for Brian there. Is that number eight? Oh, he could have. Yeah, it could have. It's not number eight, isn't it? And then last one on the board, number eight. Time travel saves the day So we don't know how to finish this movie But time travel will fix it I gotta go through some of these other ones though Because they're fantastic
Starting point is 00:29:07 The McGuffin or Chekhov's Gun Montage only 14 I thought montage should have been like number one or two Yeah right Wise old man Badass Damsel So not your damsel in distress But you're like
Starting point is 00:29:22 Atomic blonde Your you know those kind of characters Cut the Red Wire is a popular true, that's a good one. He's behind me, isn't he? He's behind me, isn't he? Manic Pixie Dream Girl,
Starting point is 00:29:40 number 22. Unkillable bad guy. Randy was definitely yelling that pixie girl thing. He says that all the time. It's a favorite of his. Unkillable bad guy. You fall, you know, getting back up after being a shot a million times. The enemies to lovers,
Starting point is 00:29:53 rom-com trope, falling when trying to escape from the bad guy, any sort of fumbling or screw up that, you know, the killer's behind you and you make fish out of water. There's your lone survivor, lone wolf. A cave that looks like a we've got in here.
Starting point is 00:30:10 We can't say that on TMS. I don't know. We probably can. We can and do it. I don't know why. Final girl, you know, the last girl to survive in a slasher movie.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Okay. Heist. Superhero landing, like, basically landing. Oh, yeah. That's been very... The three-point superhero landing. Yeah, Trinity did that this past weekend on the Matrix. She did. She did. She did. First. Here's one of my
Starting point is 00:30:37 favorites. All redhead females are sexy. All redhead males are villains. No, this is... I haven't thought about that. I like that. Hold on. Amy, Amy as a redhead, how's that land on you? How's that feel? What do you think of that? I mean, you know, it's either that, or I was actually going to say all redhead guys are dork. So, like,
Starting point is 00:30:55 there's like, you know, Ritchie Cunningham. kind of, you know, but yeah. With the potential to be evil. Yeah. Yep. It's always wet in space. Oh, yes. Love that one.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Give me your gun and your badge. Yeah. Yeah, I almost said that angry chief captain. Angry police captain. Yeah. I mean, a lot of these, you know, conniving villain, Kapu plays by his own rules. That's kind of the same thing. Um, copy plays
Starting point is 00:31:28 Anyway, there you go. I just on that one. That's a fun one. I know, it's so fun. There's a lot of these that just had one and it's like, oh, yeah, furniture stops bullets. Is it a good one. Oh, yeah. Oh, we just saw that.
Starting point is 00:31:41 People get behind that couch. Get behind that couch. Get behind that IKEA fur clog or whatever it's called. Yeah, it seems like a common one. Well, that is for the fun, one of the funest ones with like some of our worst performances we've ever done. but we'll take it and that means that Amy you win you're a redhead with the winning flag good job I don't know what that means
Starting point is 00:32:04 right on thanks so much guys you guys are so much fun well no worries oh email Brian for your winnings because you know you can't go home empty handed and he'll hook you up have a fantastic week and we'll see you next time all right Brian done away I really I really enjoyed that one I enjoyed the roller coaster ride of emotions that Ibit experienced from being excited to being oh no this is going to be bad
Starting point is 00:32:30 I'm okay no not that one don't say that one yeah well let's get let's get a final word from Randy on this since he was so involved in it hold on you're a white guy oh okay yeah no I knew that well all right I feel like I knew that I feel like I knew as a white guy uh well hey speaking of film sack this weekend we're doing alien three three yeah baby I'm so excited for this I cannot wait to watch this do the aliens speak French in this one?
Starting point is 00:32:55 Nope. I can't remember. No. They speak prison. That was Coneheads. Oh, that was Cone heads. Yeah, Coneheads was great. I love Coneheads.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Coneheads is underrated. If you guys have never seen the Coneheads thing, uh, it is my, I think it is my favorite S&L, uh, thing where they took a skit and you're not including Blues Brothers, are you? I don't like Blues Brothers very much. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Yeah, I know. I know I'm broken or something wrong. It is, it is one of those uncomfortable movies. Like it's a. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's too old. Maybe I feel like it's too old. Maybe it's too old.
Starting point is 00:33:30 It was made in your lifetime. Well, it was, but it was made when I was a kid. It was like 70-something, right? Like, it was real, real young. Late 78, 79, yeah, something like that. It's fine. I'm not saying that Blues Brothers is bad, but there's something about, you know what it is, it's because Conehead shouldn't work at all and it works.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Yeah, I think that that is right, exactly. Like, you can guess that Wayne's world is going to be, is going to do well. You can predict how Night at the Roxbury is going to be, or Stuart Smalley saves the world, or whatever it is. Would you count office space as a movie that
Starting point is 00:34:06 came from SNL? No. Because it did come from the Mike Judge animated shorts that he did for S&L. I didn't know I knew about the shorts, but I didn't know those were for SNL. I had no idea. Those were for S&L and the Milton. It was all Milton was the subject of the shorts.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Yes. Red Stapler. Right. I'm going to burn this place down. Dude, you're making me want to watch Office Space. And so if that's connected, then maybe that's my favorite now that you've said. Coneheads is free on the, is it the peacock? I think it's the peacock. Yeah, it's the peacock.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Yeah, the peacock. The peacock, over there, down to the peacock. You can watch that for free. I'm just saying maybe after we get through the scary stuff in October, maybe we just, you know, maybe we just visit the cone heads because we don't want to make fun of it, but maybe just revisiting. Did we not do? We haven't done it, right? We haven't done cone heads.
Starting point is 00:34:57 No. Let's see. FilmSack. Let's see. FilmSack.com. Oh, wait, that doesn't go anywhere, does it? I can't find it. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Hey, well done. So that'll be Alien 3 this weekend. A prison planned alien movie, which a lot of people at the time didn't like, but has grown on many people as time has gone on. I always liked it
Starting point is 00:35:18 and hated parts of it, too, at the same time. So it's going to be thick, rich discussion this weekend. Thick rich, smoldering hot discussion about Alien 3. So check that out this weekend on FilmSack. FilmSack.com for details. Brian, anything else you want to say before we unsceremoniously kick you out? I play video games for a video game podcast.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Me and Scott do on Mondays at 5.30 called The Boob Show. And I do my homework through the week. But this Thursday, I'm playing graveyard keeper at 6 p.m. Eastern Time. before the core how many plugs is that's a lot am i out you're well no you get as many as you want you have free reign around here so yes yeah you could say well you have any show notes so i'm just i'm just trying to longer longer you could say i'm having a long bath at noon and we'd let you say it you can say whatever you want you say anything yeah except now where i'm going to kick you out okay now he can't say anything is i've kicked him off the call now there's nothing he's gone just like that
Starting point is 00:36:18 Nothing he can say. Looks like Milton also premiered, or not premiered, but was also Liquid Television, but the Milton shorts aired on Sardat Live in the mid-1990s also appeared on Liquid Television in the 1990s. So I know Beavis and Butthead premiered on Liquid Television, or that's where I first saw it. Did that also move around? I know it was, you know, it's an MTV mainstay for years. Yeah, I don't think that was ever anywhere else. I don't think those ever appeared on SNL.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Liquid television was one of my favorite things on this planet, man. I love that. It was like getting blood, sex, and robots, or whatever that's called. Yeah, yeah. Every day. It was like every week there was, like, new weird stuff, and I love that stuff. I wish there was more of that these days. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Or maybe there is, and we're just embarrassed with all the riches that we have. Well, you still need to watch Short Circuit on Disney Plus if you haven't yet. It's in my cue. The little add to cue, it's in my cue. Good, good. That's a start. That's a start. All right. It's the beginning of what might potentially be a watch. We'll see how it goes.
Starting point is 00:37:22 All right. Oh, it always works like that. We're going to do some very fast and very efficient news gathering. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. In the news this morning, good morning. The news today is brought to you by. Well, let's see if there's any time for news after this. From one of the creators of botched, the D&D podcast, comes the story of Solomon, a man from a time long forgotten. Thrust into responsibility. He must decide how far he's willing.
Starting point is 00:37:47 to go in order to protect those he cares about. The consequences of desperate decisions leads to the world's first werewolf. This is Lichen Solomon's Odyssey, a fully illustrated 60-page graphic novel, the first in an ongoing series, spanning across different cultures, mythologies, and folklore throughout history.
Starting point is 00:38:05 This Kickstarter is fully funded and set to end on the morning of September 3rd, really they mean October 3rd. If you would be interested in backing a dream more than 10 years in the making, search for Lycan, L-Y-C-C-A-R-E-A-R-E. Solomon's Odyssey on Kickstarter, or just head over to hivehead studios.com or clockfox.net because Dennis has some really weird patrons. Dennis would like to thank everyone who's already backed the project and anyone backs it after hearing this message. You'll never truly know how much it means to him. And thank you. Oh, very nice. So go check that out, you guys.
Starting point is 00:38:37 It's September 3rd, but that's the end of this week. October 3rd is Sunday. That's got to be what he means. That's got to be October, right? He must have been October. I would think so. Yep. I would assume so. uh squirrel stores thousands of nuts inside a man's parked car okay you were hoping i'd say scrotum i really was you hear nuts and you just immediately want it to go there yeah you want it to go scrotum but it didn't hear a man in north dakota has been saddled with a massive cleanup job caused by tiny furry perpetrators the red squirrel will come from behind run along the frame rail and all the way up to the front says bill fisher he's talking about his car he's like he's probably
Starting point is 00:39:19 pointing at a video yep that red squirrel come behind and run on the frame and run all the way up to the front you damn squirrels I always ride running right
Starting point is 00:39:26 speaking of my judge yeah doing a full boom hour uh fisher cannot just cannot win the war beautiful black walnut tree in the yard produces nuts
Starting point is 00:39:36 that the red squirrel finds irresistible however the nuts or the squirrel has picked uh fisher's Chevy avalanche as the winter storage hideout for hundreds of these nuts although the headline said thousands, so I don't know why they say hundreds now.
Starting point is 00:39:52 What is it, local12.com? Yeah, it feels like maybe you're trying to pump things up with a more exciting headline, maybe. Sensationalize the nut storage. I see what you've done. Anyway, he says each are about the size of a small lemon. That's pretty big. Wow, especially for hundreds. I don't know what a small lemon is considered, but I assume it's, you know, it's probably like that.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Don, Don is a small lemon. A small, oh, Don Lemon, got it. Yeah. Wait, what's he do? He's, uh, oh, he's a news guy. He's a reporter on CNN for a while. Yeah, news, uh, it'd still be. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:40:26 I think he's a commentary guy. I don't know. I don't watch 24 hour news networks because, and here's, here's a, here's why, this controversial statement, they all suck. That's true. I don't know last time any of you watched any of that, but. They all tell you it's a thousand nuts when it's really just hundreds. I mean, on page.
Starting point is 00:40:45 paper, 24-hour news sounds amazing on paper because it's like, I'll be informed all the time. Anything that happens, even if it's in the middle of the night, crack reporters and photojournalists will be on the scene reporting to me what's going on. That's what we all thought it would be. And it turns out it's not that. It's garbage. It's garbage, wall-to-wall freaking garbage. If something really important happens, it'll get covered by every news organization, actual news organizations, and not 24-hour freaking money cycles. F those guys. F them. They all suck. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, let's see. He says these nuts are in a lot of places in the radiator fan all the way through here. That corner's been covered with all these
Starting point is 00:41:31 walnuts, says Fisher. Now he's calling them walnuts. Now he's walnuts. Yeah. He says he's planning on can't. Well, they're black walnuts. Yeah. Are there? Oh, are there? Yeah. Okay. But in this case, But wait, what did this world take, though? He took, oh, it doesn't say. He took black walnuts because it's a beautiful black walnut tree. Or as they say on Craigslist, it's a BBWT. Who's my favorite, my favorite Sopranos character is that Walnuts guy.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Oh, Polly Walnuts? Yeah. I love them. I was thinking Christopher Guest and Best in Show. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Quit naming nuts. Yeah, he's great. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:42:13 That's so good. Oh, I saw Bob Balaban the other day on something new. Oh, cool. He's a million years old. It looks wrong because he always plays old. Like, even when he was young, he played old. But now he's really old. What was it?
Starting point is 00:42:30 Oh, we watched, Kim started before she left town, she started watching The Chair, which is a Netflix. I see that on there, yeah, the chair. Michelle Cho, not Michelle Cho. What's her name? Sandra O. Sondra O. How did I get Michelle? Cho on that.
Starting point is 00:42:46 There's not even, I don't think there is a Michelle show. It's also, it stars Sandra O. and Mallory Lowe. So why did you say Margaret Cho? I don't know. I don't know. Now, where do I go? Oh, it's got David Morse and Holland Taylor.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Yeah, David Morse, also old but looking great. Jay Dupless. Yeah, one of the Duplus brothers, I think. Yep. This is what he is. Those guys, I don't know what they do. They're weird, man. One minute, they're in a thing where they're acting, and the next minute they're producing
Starting point is 00:43:13 a giant series of things. The next thing, they've got some documentary up for Oscars. And I don't get what those two guys are up to. They're nuts. Good luck to him. Yeah. Anyway, that's your story there. Oh, hey, by the way, did you look at the photos of this man's truck full of nuts?
Starting point is 00:43:30 No, let's see. Dude, you know, I was thinking, well, this is kind of a dumb story. Then I saw the photo. Oh, God. Right? All right, chat, are people at home? it's uh imagine opening the trunk of your car the hoodier car and just it's filled with these nuts here's what i want you to think about you just picked up a brand new uh monitor from best buy it's in
Starting point is 00:43:54 the box you open up the box and it's got your packing peanuts and then the monitor is inside the packing peanuts that's what his engine looks like replace packing peanuts with nuts it's really something it's insane like there is no more room in under that hood for anything else, but nuts. And he had to take the, it looks like he had to take porter panels off and... Yeah, exactly. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Look at those nuts are huge. They look like onions. They look like small onions. Yeah, or like an apple harvest or something. Yeah. That's just nuts. All right. That's just nuts.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, I mean, it feels like a, like a throwaway story until you see that photo and it's like, oh, oh, damn, okay. Yeah. Yeah. That guy's got that car, that truck has serious nuts. Four, like, Home Depot barrel, plastic trash barrel things, five-gallon barrels or buckets. Oh, eight of them filled with those nuts that he cleared out of there.
Starting point is 00:44:53 That's insane. I wonder how, I was nervous when he first started the car after all that. I wonder how that felt. Like, okay, here goes. No, it smelled like chocolate chip cookies, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies when he did it. So that was nice. Oh, it reminds of your home and mom and stuff. I'm growing up.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Yeah. That's right. I like that. Oh, J.C. Kellynne says they clearly say Menards. I didn't look close. I just saw those plastic, those ubiquitous buckets. They say Menards on them?
Starting point is 00:45:21 Menards. Does it really? Are you kidding me? They really say Menards? Hold on. If they say Menards, that's the best unintentional joke. I feel like we got punked. Do we get punked?
Starting point is 00:45:32 It might have been punked. Yeah, I think we got punked. That's a pretty good punking. Oh, the green ones are Menards. Those green ones are. The green ones in the back are Menards. Perfect. What do you got in there, Menards?
Starting point is 00:45:43 Nards. That's great. All right. On that, oh, that's fantastic. We're going to take a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt will join us, do a little tech time catch-up. And then after that, Nicole, with your recommendals for the week. So stick around.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Hey, Brian, why don't you play me a song in the meantime? We're going to go up to Vancouver, Canada, for this one, for a melodic punk rock quartet that all wear. jean jacket vests covered with pins. This is a band called The Core, C-O-R-P-S, or the corpse. They have a, yeah, the Corps. They've got a brand new single for their song Hazardous, so that they're releasing for their song Hazardous.
Starting point is 00:46:24 They are an intense force of circle-pit melodic punk rock. And totally, like if you dig, no-fx, propaganda, even a little bit of Blink 182 or some 41, say is in here as well. Here is the band, The Core, and their song Hazardous. A day she's unaware she's drowning Tear the skin away The ego starts to pray But everything's a struggle for Becky
Starting point is 00:47:27 So much so she tells me that she can't breathe But she would rather die To be alone in night The shadows down her lies in the teeth in the darkness, but you won't let out of your secret. She believes, all the hazard, all the hazard is wise that she spreads. The boy she trusts takes residence inside her head So when you push the past away
Starting point is 00:48:23 You won't make it out alone She won't make it on her own Saying it will be okay Say it will be okay Say it will be okay Say it will be okay Would you rather fart really loud or poop your pants silently? Probably sending a text message.
Starting point is 00:49:22 My kids are crazy over that. Is my heart in it? I think my heart's in it. I think my heart's in it. This is the moment. Morning Stream. All right. We're back, everybody.
Starting point is 00:49:45 That song again was. That song again is Hazardous by the band The Core, C-O-R-P-S. Nice. That audio clip you played sounded like one of my favorite. I felt like it was some of my favorite lines that Mantis said in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Played again. Would you rather fart really loud or poop your pants silence? Yeah, it does sound like Man.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Mantis. Imagine she's asking Drex. Oh, my gosh. That's a real, that's a deep cut. She sounds just like that. I love her. She's great. I too. Almost as much as I love our upcoming guest, which we will introduce with this here sound clip. With the computer as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. My list goes, Tom Merritt, then it goes, Lady Who Played Mantis, and then everybody else.
Starting point is 00:50:32 That's how it works. Yeah, you're right up there. I'm honored. I don't know if I deserve it, but I'm honored. Well, deserve it or not, you're here, damn it. It's Wednesday. That means Tom Merritt shows up and does a little tech news for us in the morning. A little tech time, we call it Tom's tech time, to be exact.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Because later today, we do the Daily Tech News show, the Wednesday edition, which I am always on, which I always love being on. And part of that is to cheat a little bit. Tom comes and gives us a little preview. So Tom laid on us. What is going on? I'm going to mess you up. I want to talk about the Amazon stuff from yesterday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Cool. I want to talk about that stuff, too. All right. What happened on Amazon yesterday? No cheat codes for Scott, though, if I do that. No workshopping topics for it. Yeah. I know. And believe me, that hurts me as much as it hurts you. Of course.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Oh, this is the, is this the, now actually, I don't know what it is about. Tell me what happened yesterday. I have no idea. Oh, my gosh. Amazon announced 6,000 different products yesterday. All sort of around the idea of voice services. I don't even know which is the main announcement. I guess the Echo Show 15 is the main announcement because you will be able to buy it. Yeah, the wall unit versus the robot.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Yeah, so Astro the robot, the drone that flies around your house when you're not there with a camera so you can see what's going on. The little weird thing that looks like a cell phone from the 80s that lets your kids play games with grandma, those are all by invitation. you're you're all you have to be asked uh to buy them to give them your money would you uh would you would like to invite you to spend a thousand dollars on this robot yeah uh and and that's how they launched the amazon echo if you remember it was limited sales uh it's a way for them to find to kind of slowly roll it out and test it see what the problems are with people who are the most enthusiastic about it so um i signed up for invites for a couple things and they ask you questions like with the drone like do you have any florida ceiling glass windows do you
Starting point is 00:52:36 have any free roaming pets. I don't think those are to disqualify people. I think it's to make sure they're including a lot of different scenarios in who they're letting buy it. But the Echo Show 15, although it doesn't have an exact date, you have to sign up for an email to let you know when it goes on sale. They said it will come by the end of the year, $250 15 inch wall mount, 1080P smart display. So it's like the Amazon Echo Show, the little desktop thing that has a screen that works like an Amazon Echo. except this one's thin enough that you can mount it on a wall. They're also going to sell the ability to put it on a stand
Starting point is 00:53:12 or mount it under a cabinet, say, in a kitchen or somewhere like that. And the idea is that this gives you a lot more visual indications of things, not just the voice control. It has all the same voice control as the Amazon Echo show, but because it has more screen real estate, it can devote half the screen to persistent what they're calling widgets. So you can have a weather widget or a calendar widget, things like that
Starting point is 00:53:37 or you can even have the entire screen devoted to photo display so when you're not using it it could just look like a picture frame and it's got a black frame with a white bezel so it's meant to look kind of like a picture frame
Starting point is 00:53:49 when it's up on your wall interesting does the camera do that follow you around thing I know it's a static location so it can't do the it would because it's running the same operating system
Starting point is 00:54:01 yeah the the Astro robot will literally follow you around. The Echo Show 15 will not. But yeah, I think it does have, I think it does have that for for drop-ins and stuff. The camera panning, you know, kind of thing that we can do. Yeah. It's interesting. It also does visual ID processing on device. Yeah. So you can set it up to recognize who's looking at it without sharing that information with Amazon. It'll be it's done on the device. And that way, when you're looking at it, you see your calendar. When when your spouse is looking at it, they see their calendar. when your kids are looking at it you can set parental controls that show them kid appropriate content when they're looking at it. So that's kind of interesting as well. Did you say whether this
Starting point is 00:54:45 is the wall thing is battery operated or optional that way? No, it's power. It's power. Yeah, $250. So no battery in there. Just the way they show it here, it's like, oh. Dangly cord falling down. Yeah. They didn't talk about that as much
Starting point is 00:55:02 in the announcement, but I don't know if you can do an in-wall with it or not. I assume it's going to be rated for that if they want it to be wall-mounted. But most people are probably not going to do that. They're probably just going to have a dangly cord like you do with some TV. I'll deal with a dangly, I guess. I kind of like the idea, though. I like the idea of a plat panel that's sort of up and against a wall.
Starting point is 00:55:24 And I don't know, something about that. Yeah, I custom built one over here that does, like, has weather. It tells me the next few days of weather on the bottom, but then it really just cycles through a set of photos that I set up for it. It's a DAC board, D-A-K-Born. Oh, yeah, and that's a really good point. This is not technology you couldn't find. This is packaged up nice and neat in an ecosystem.
Starting point is 00:55:52 In one nice little box, yeah, instead of having a bunch of wires on the back with, yeah, a raspberry pie and Wi-Fi. They don't see. And there's even some. Some packaged up Android versions of this out there. Samsung has a limited version of this that it sells for quite a bit more money. But this is, you know, $250, Amazon. And yes, they're going to be collecting data off your voice stuff the way they do off of an Amazon Echo with those permissions. And you need to be mindful of that and manage your permissions and all of that.
Starting point is 00:56:25 But they are doing a lot with voice activation that is on device now. and adding the ability to say, you know, do most of my voice processing locally and then auto delete it. They talk about how the... That's part of the new AZ2 neural engine CPU that's in the Echo Show 15. They say anything about audio quality or anything because one of the reasons people like their echoes is they like to have a, you know, a music device they're using as a... Yeah, they didn't really talk about that because this is more about the screen than it is the speakers. So I would assume it's adequate from that. I won't love that, I think.
Starting point is 00:56:58 I think I'm aiming more for sound quality. The little kids thing real quick, that looks like Picard's desk terminal. It's the thickest, ugliest thing I've ever seen. So good luck with that thing. Yeah, but it's not even as wide as Picard's, right? It's a little eight-inch portrait screen in a big chunky plastic block called the glow.
Starting point is 00:57:20 And the idea is that someone who wants to talk to the kid. So me talking to my niece is a great example. Sure. My niece has the glow. She doesn't, but let's, you know, for sake of argument, she has the glow. It projects a game onto a white mat that you said in front of it. So she sees me and Eileen on the 8-inch screen in front of her, and then we have the app on our iPad or Android device and can play the game with her. She's touching it projected on the white mat and it has the technology that can let you interact with a projection while we're playing with her on the iPad. oh it's kind of cool seems all right yeah i think i i understand the value of it but boy is it ugly and i know you do and it's and it's juice resistant yeah that's the point right this thing is industrial for kids it comes with i think it's a two-year warranty uh yeah two-year warranty against breaks and spills juice resistant uh so that'll be a title choice is all i'm saying that'll happen to yeah ornthall simpson cannot get out it that's right juice me so there you go that and a whole bunch
Starting point is 00:58:27 other stuff and chances are we'll break down more of that today is my guess but uh we might have a little bit about uh about the astro uh there there there were some sources talking device about the fact that uh from what they knew uh this thing was ready to fall downstairs and not not ready for prime time which might be one of the reasons they're doing invite only for astro uh the robot but if you want the full breakdown of the announcements uh the daily tech news show that's in your feed right now from yesterday has it all nice i already yell at my echo Well, I yell at this robot is the question, probably. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:00 If I had one. Astro, it won't pee. No, but like I yell at one now where I'll say, play 70s rock music and it will choose the worst playlist or something. Just something that's garbage. Yeah, and then it will follow you around playing the wrong playlist. Isn't that great? Yeah, a little turd dog. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:59:22 All right. Well, more on that today on the Daily Tech News Show, 230 Mountain Time for the live stream. and of course the podcast information Daily Tech News Show.com.

Starting point is 01:00:31 Bye now. All right. Okay. You know what my favorite thing of today was? What's that? I'm going to show you. I'll put it in our chat. Now, chat room at home, or people at home, you're hearing this and you're thinking,
Starting point is 01:00:45 well, I can't see this. Well, I'll describe it after I sent it to Brian. Okay. And I don't know why it made me have. Or in your car, if you're listening in your car, or on the train or on the ferry or whatever somebody somebody oh this view of brian's head really just a close up of my my pink head yeah because of the color balance and you held it there for a while and it was did i what was i i don't know why you were doing this there there you are again what i was i was looking at something up
Starting point is 01:01:12 close and i don't know what it was i don't know you really would i enjoyed it though um same jane says she misses forums i don't know maybe forums will make a comeback i don't know oh you really zoomed in tight on me that's That's why it looks like... Oh, yeah. You're way more cropped than usual. It's because my lens right now is making me a giant head. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:01:31 And to make it so you don't look tiny. I had to do that until I get my other lens back because my first lens broke. Anyway. Oh, it's all good. A, uh, we're going to move on now to do what now. Oh, Nicole. That's what now. Now, now's the time.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Let's get her in here. Let's get some, uh, some recommendations going. I've been sitting on mine for too long. I need to get it out. Mm-hmm. Get it out. Yeah, get it out, baby. Into the world.
Starting point is 01:01:53 into the world. Yep. All right. We are now with us on the line looking at Nicole Spagnola, who's joining us, and she always does on Wednesdays. Hi, how are you? Hi. Good.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Hello. Hello. So are you a teacher yet? Are you a teacher now? No, not yet. Not yet. I'm still waiting on them to run a background check on me. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:02:23 They're going to find out about that cocaine thing. Yeah. They're going to find out about all that cocaine you were a mule for for all those years. Stop. Do you remember that? They're going to find out about this. You're going to find out you come on Wednesdays on this terrible morning show and talk to us. They're going to go, oh, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 01:02:39 We can't have you on here. Yeah, you're like, you're going to do great. I'm kind of jealous in a weird way because, I don't know, teaching's cool and I'm jealous. I think this is rad. I had my, we had our first 3D print. class with the kids, if you got upset that we weren't printing, like, the minute we started. Of course. And I'm like, we need to set some understanding and expectation about what 3D printing is.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Right. And how long it takes. How long it takes? Yeah. It takes forever. Yeah. You don't just sit down and print it like you do a piece of paper. That's great.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Exactly. Benji? Yeah, you're looking about four hours. Come back tomorrow and you'll see Benchie. Yeah. That's funny because I remember an animation class when I was. really young and I remember being really disappointed that the first day we weren't
Starting point is 01:03:27 making animation. The first day we were talking about anatomy or the way gravity works on human legs or some boring thing. But then now I realize, well no, you need all that. That was all really important. You need to understand. Yeah. So that's what we did. We
Starting point is 01:03:43 watched a video on the history of 3D printing and like where it's where it came from, where it's going. And you know, A number of the kids were like, what? Like, mind-blown. But a few of them were like, I just want to print a whistle.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Can I just print a whistle? Just want to print a whistle. I'm like, God. What they had heard, you could do whistles, and they were just, that's all they wanted. That's great. That's great. They just want the thing. I'm like, so if I make you the thing, are you just going to go?
Starting point is 01:04:15 I mean, that's kind of what it feels like. Here's my question. Are you going to have these kids call you Mrs. Spagg for short or full spagnolla? So I'm in two clubs. I'm in the 3D printing club and I'm in a journalism club where they call me they call me Mrs. Spag in that class and the 3D printing class calls me Mrs. Nicole. I don't care either way.
Starting point is 01:04:41 I know some teachers get like tight about it and depending on the part of the country. Like I've been to colleges where everyone was miss or mistrust. and if you didn't use those titles, it was really disrespectful. I don't care. They should call you the resin whisper. The resin whisper? Well, I don't get that one. Because you're 3D printing with resin.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Oh, oh. The wood whisper. I don't know if you know that your husband does this show called Wood Whisper. Oh, really? Really? It's really popular. Yeah, now I get it. You should help.
Starting point is 01:05:17 See if he needs any help with that. Maybe help them with that. No way. I'm done. I'm not doing it anymore. Hey, you want to know someone funny? What? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:26 I think my TikTok video is now more popular than Mark's TikTok video. That's awesome. The kids in there are Among Us. So the Among Us video went pretty viral and it's... It's 1.8 million views right now. That's awesome. It's only been up for four days. You never know when your stuff is TikTok fuel.
Starting point is 01:05:44 You just don't know. But it's perfect. It's perfect. Here's the funny thing. You sent it to us. I don't know if you shared it with anyone else, but somebody on there actually thought you had made COVID suits for your kids. Yes. Yeah. Not just one person. Many people. Multiple people thought they were COVID suits. Someone called you a Karen. She called, another woman called me ridiculous. And I said, the only person is ridiculous is you because you can't see that this is from a
Starting point is 01:06:10 video game. Right. Exactly. Come on. I mean, I guess I'm trying to imagine if you have zero idea what the game is and you've never seen anything related to it, then I guess you would be wondering. But even then why jump to the conclusion maybe just look at some of the other hundreds of comments yeah and look at the hashtag i say hashtag among us right right maybe people thought that meant who among us like that's our little club of really careful people who are putting their kids in little space suits some little liberal club yeah that is so funny to me they can so the story of it goes gave the kids the costumes early I mean, this is like eight in the morning when I'm taking this video. And they are so excited.
Starting point is 01:06:55 And they're like, we want to walk around the block. I'm like, okay. So that's what they did. At eight in the morning, around our little cul-de-sac, they walked. It was painful because it's really hard to walk in those suits. And that's why you see Ava going, and I'm like, are you tired? And we hadn't even gone that far, and she was already tired. Yeah, they're not getting any candy
Starting point is 01:07:20 If they don't, if they don't figure out how to walk in there They're not getting any candy come Halloween Yeah I don't know if you notice But there's no armholes in those suits Oh really? Are there? Oh, because they don't have like little
Starting point is 01:07:32 So you have little handles inside that you hold the suit Yeah But as far as them being able to get candy I get to hold the bags Yeah, because they don't The way those in the characters The actual characters in the game I'm trying to think they don't have arms
Starting point is 01:07:47 Right? They have floating hands in, like, the cartoons. Oh, yeah. So the cartoons will add, like, floating hands, but in the game... In the game, you have hands when you climb something? Yeah, yes, and they're floating hands that climb. Yeah. Or when you have, I think, well, is there ever a knife in your hand?
Starting point is 01:08:09 I don't know. Anyway. Well, I guess there is because you can use a backstab somebody, sure. Oh, no, look at these. Oh, okay, these are like the inflatable dinosaur. our outfits and stuff like that. Okay. For some reason, I thought they were like form fitting,
Starting point is 01:08:22 or not form fitting, but like... They have some that like, it's a form fitting astronaut suit, like with your arms. Those don't look... Yeah. No, these are hilarious. And the fact that anybody would see this
Starting point is 01:08:35 and think that it's protecting your children at school from COVID is the best. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. They would never be able to sit down. It's like, it's so ridiculous. It's so ridiculous. It just shows... My other favorite is your kids aren't getting enough oxygen.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Oh, geez. Whatever. There's a vent in the butt. There's a fan in it. Like, these things have been around for many years. I think they're not getting enough oxygen. But when you're talking like millions of views for something, this is, this is what you get. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:05 It's just a numbers. It's a number game. I've never had anything expand past my circle. Yeah. And it's weird. It is weird. It's so weird. I had one go like 500,000 or something on TikTok once.
Starting point is 01:09:15 I don't remember what it was about. But that place, there's no telling. You could smile on camera and go, I'm going to lunch, and two hours later, that'll be the biggest TikTok thing of the day, or it'll be nothing with no views. Like, you don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:28 You just never freaking know. You just never know. Well, well done on that. There you go. TikTok famous. Let's do this. We're going to do some recommendals, stuff we've seen on streaming services
Starting point is 01:09:38 over the last, or since the last time we talked. I guess we were here last month today. And Brian, we always start with you. Do you have any set up for these? Let's see. First one, they're both TV series. One of them, this first one is on Hulu.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Hulu. All right, here it is, number one. I also said you're good thieves. Best in town. It is a small town. Wait, you took my recommendal. I'm bare. Oh, no, did I?
Starting point is 01:10:09 It's Willie Jack. Yes. And she's the Lord Denon. Like the baby in Willow? That's a great movie It's a Ron Howard joint Did you know Lord Dan was played by a set of identical twin girls Kate and Ruth Greenfield
Starting point is 01:10:23 They used to switch out playing the character So neither would get too fatigued You don't want a crying baby on set Rattles the crew What is it? Be free with your words Oh bear Yeah, that's right, sir
Starting point is 01:10:37 Is it cool if we can keep the chips? The chips? give me a buck just a buck you can have the chip now what happens is you just get up and walk out now you stand up and you just go
Starting point is 01:11:01 you just get out I know that voice so play my clip now did you put a clip in here also hold on I'm so I'm sorry I slept here All right. It's all right. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Here it is. I'm going to play it. Oh, young lawyer. Crazy hair. I almost used this clip. Got beat up again, huh? Me?
Starting point is 01:11:34 Back in my day, I would have went at him like that, you know? Throw a spear in that little kid's head. You know, that little white one? But yeah, you probably should have ran. I got some good ones in. Custer. Custer wishes he would have ran like that.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Took off on his little legs. But he didn't, he died. I'm not going to be here forever, so... The moment we're born, we're going to die. No, I mean, California. California! Uh-ho! Yeah, that's where you're going to go?
Starting point is 01:12:06 You're going to run away, hit off West, dreaming big. They all just want to run away. we are all just running away this is reservation dogs that's exactly what it is okay FX took me took me a second but the
Starting point is 01:12:24 that's the first actor isn't that the dude from the second season of Fargo he might have been on Fargo I know he was on Parks and Rec playing yes that's him I never remember his name
Starting point is 01:12:37 he's also on that other show with Katie Sackoff the Longmeyer, yeah. Anyway, he's great. I freaking love that, dude. Yeah, and very recognizable, very recognizable voice. Yes, show is Reservation Dogs. Nicole and I both watched it, clearly.
Starting point is 01:12:56 It's a good show. It's a good show. It's really good. And my and Tristan's girlfriend, Kay, who is Navajo, watched it, enjoyed it, and endorses it. So it's not like, you know, there's nothing like, derogatory or is that okay to
Starting point is 01:13:14 talk about this kind of thing and that sort of thing but it's also produced I believe executive produced by Taika Watiti and co-written by Taika Watiti so it's got that that Taika Watiti humor in there follows four
Starting point is 01:13:30 indigenous teenagers in Oklahoma as they work their way towards getting out of Oklahoma and making their way to California Yeah. And they're in that like a little gang. They're 16 and a gang.
Starting point is 01:13:47 They're kind of as bad as the Gallagher is on shameless as far as like the stuff they want to try and get away with. And in the clip that I shared, Bear, who's like the leader of the gang, he gets beat up. And he, anytime he kind of gets knocked out, he has these visions of the guy that you, and he's dressed in like traditional. Native American outfit. Like he has like the beads on the chest and he has the feathers and the feathers. And so he's there to kind of like be a little guardian angel of sorts,
Starting point is 01:14:25 but he's really funny when he's talking to him. I'm actually really stoked to watch it. It's been as soon as I heard Tiger Watiti was involved, I immediately perked right up. But I don't know how that guys has time for all this stuff he's doing. He's just so busy now. I know, right? Making Oscar-worthy movies.
Starting point is 01:14:43 He's making multiple TV shows. They're all great. I know Wellington Paranormal is, he's executive producer, but it's mostly, what's his name doing it? Germains. That's kind of his baby or his spinoff. But he doesn't, I know he's working on the next, what, Thor, Love and Thunder? Yeah, that's the other.
Starting point is 01:15:00 So major Hollywood movies coming out. Yeah. And, you know, Mandalorian involvement, like the guy's just everywhere right now. And I think that's great. We can, oh, and he was the, he was freaking rat catcher's dad on, on the suicide squad. And he was Hitler. Oh, yeah, it was right. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:15:16 Yeah. It was really cool. Anyway, all right. Well, I'm dying to see that. Yeah, reservation dogs. It's an FX show on Hulu, eight episodes and half an hour long each. A lot of fun. Really, really, really funny.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Very nice. We just, Carter and I just watched. And heartwarming. Oh, good. Heartwarming is good. Carter and I just watched the first two episodes of the new season of what we do in the shadows. And it's, of course, spot on and perfect again. It's so good.
Starting point is 01:15:40 Yeah, it's so good. I was going to recommend that, but I've recommended it way too much. But the third, yeah, the third season. We'll just keep recommending it until we're dead. Yeah, we're third season now as we're at. Did you watch the casino one? No, we're, so we padded it a bit so that we had a few. But I just got to the one where Colin Robinson.
Starting point is 01:16:00 I'm trying to remember what it was last night. We haven't started the new season. I don't remember what happened, but I was laughing so hard. I couldn't stand it. It was laughing sword. Anyway. It was when he was bonding with, um, what's this, the other guy, um, Barry, his character. Oh, Laslo.
Starting point is 01:16:18 Laslo. They like, they like became buddies in an episode and they like dismantle a car. Is that the one you, you know, I don't think that. I don't think I'm there yet. No. I can't wait. That sounds great. All right.
Starting point is 01:16:32 You got me. You got me stoked to keep going. We're going to watch some more tonight. Um, all right. So, uh, Brian, your next link here. My next one, I'm hoping, this feels too out there for Nicole. So I'm hoping I don't have anything else.
Starting point is 01:16:47 You don't have anything else? Oh, all right. This is a series from HBO Max. All right, here it is. Okay. All right. I just want to make sure that that weird lipstick guy got me isn't. It tends to put like a ring around your mouth hole.
Starting point is 01:17:03 What do you mean? She got me a permanent lipstick. Who? I said, my daughter ends this all the time that I need it, because she says, I have no lips, and it's so embarrassing. You don't feel the pressure, like a lot of news anchors, about those kinds of things, do you? No, I have to accept how I look. I'm Dan O'Donnell, and I am the news director, and also the assistant manager of the station. That was a really good show, guys.
Starting point is 01:17:30 I report, I anchor right, I do camera work. We have to come all the way up here now. You know what, right here. Do you do this at a crime scene? I listened to scanner. I got out of spot news. I'm actually 24-7. What do you have?
Starting point is 01:17:46 Do you have anything good? Can you arrest a bunch of people for me so I can have something back? I'm sure something will have it. Somebody was like texting me that these dogs were like eating this dead body and the guy let like his wife be dead in the house for a while and the dog started eating him and he was neglecting the dogs or something like that. That was a long time ago. I know.
Starting point is 01:18:06 But why did they bring it up to me the other day? Maybe they called you because there was another death, and it wasn't found for a while, and the dog was eating her to stay alive. Oh, this is a new one? Yeah. What? I want to see. This is HBO, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:23 This is HBO. This is a documentary series called Small Town News, KPVM, Perump. This is a, this is so, it's a documentary, like, this is real stuff. This woman they can barely talk is a news anchor, and she's like smacking. So, yeah, lipstick around my mouthhole. Oh, I'm looking at her now. My gosh, look at this lady. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:48 So this is all about a Perump local news station in Perump and Nevada, just outside of Las Vegas. And they're working on expanding into the Las Vegas market. There are six episodes just started at the beginning of August. So it just wrapped up its season. And, uh, you follow these, I don't know, like seven or eight people that, um, that run the station. There's a lady who, who climbs up the tower to install new dishes, like new satellite dishes and stuff like that. There's a couple newscasters, one that's like super weird and religious. I mean, they're almost like, they're almost like characters that have been created for the show.
Starting point is 01:19:31 The, um, owner is the super conservative guy in a, you know, working in a station full of more liberal-minded people. See, the guy in the red shirt on the front? Yes. Yeah, the main bald dude. It is fascinating and hilarious and feels like a mockumentary, but it's real. Yeah. The reviews are really good, too.
Starting point is 01:19:59 People really seem to like this. Oh, this is so up my alley. This is the kind of thing I love. I love the quirky. you know, sometimes disturbing look just under like something that's going on that I just didn't ever hear about before. It reminds me of the,
Starting point is 01:20:13 whatever, that movie, the wonderful whites of West Virginia. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'd love that kind of stuff. So, uh, for sure. Again, it's the 30 minute episode, six of them. You can get through this in an afternoon.
Starting point is 01:20:24 And I, I recommend you do. It is, uh, I stumbled on this while I was in California, uh, for the Disneyland trip. And I couldn't fall asleep. And so I turned on HBO at two in the morning. And one of these episodes, was on and I couldn't could not wait to get back home and get Tina to watch these all with me um again it's called small town news uh Kpvm perump but you know just small town news is
Starting point is 01:20:50 fine and um HBO max and it is hilarious Carter in the chat room my daughter says uh she looks like patty the daytime hooker from uh from my name is no my name is Earl my name is Earl yeah she kind of does and you'll you'll be amazed like you listen to her talk and she's like constantly licking her lips and doing weird things with her mouth and you're like how is this woman the main anchor on a on a newscast i love it i love it all right i'm in on this i like stuff like this but the last time you recommended a limited documentary series that was that dude that just went around new york trying oh yeah i love how to with uh will john wilson yes i don't remember And they have another season coming up
Starting point is 01:21:36 later this year. I can't wait. Yeah. Can't wait. I love that so much. You know he's got like so much archive footage of sometimes people just like to kick a can. Plus this, like it's all pandemic time for his new season
Starting point is 01:21:52 so I wonder what he's going to do. Yeah, right? Because it ended with the pandemic starting. That was so wow. I hope his landlady's okay. Yeah. Oh, that's sweet little old lady. I hope so. dude I loved that all right that's good to hear that's coming back all right I'm going to play a clip now this is for my recommendation today
Starting point is 01:22:10 and I've been talking about it on and off in other contexts so everyone's probably sick of me talking about it already so you probably already know what I'm going to recommend but it's an older movie from 2003 and it's one of my favorites especially in the genre it's in and here's my clip you're right to say some words you want to speak with the man upstairs going to do it I'll stand right here and listen to hat in hand I ain't talking to that son of a bitch
Starting point is 01:22:33 and I'll be holding a grudge for him letting this befall a a sweet kid like Mose. Well, he sure as hell wasn't one to complain. Woke with a smile. It seemed like he could keep it there all day. Kind of man that'd say good morning and mean it, whether it was or not.
Starting point is 01:23:02 I'll tell you that two. truth, Lord, if there was two gentler souls in this world, I've never seen him. Seems like old Tig wouldn't even kill birds in the end. You got yourself a good man and good dog, and I'm inclined to agree with boss here about holding a grudge against you for it. Yes, that means amen. All right. That would be open range, Scott. Yeah, it wouldn't be open range.
Starting point is 01:23:30 I'd like to thank Brian, though, for pouring his coffee on his mic during. I did that just for the cold and see if I could get, who's peeing? Yeah, we needed another Who's Pian moment from last week. So it is open range. It came out in 2003. It was the third and final movie that I'm aware of that Kevin Costner directed. He hasn't directed anything since. Been in tons since, but not directing anything.
Starting point is 01:23:56 That was him and you heard Robert Duval there with him. other notable people Diego Luna's in this he's amazing in it Abraham Ben Rubies fantastic that's one of the characters that he was
Starting point is 01:24:09 being sad about there Michael Gambone you know him as the new Dumbledore the replacement Dumbledore he's in it Dumbledore 2.0 Yep
Starting point is 01:24:16 Annette Benning Michael Jeter in his last role and one of my favorite things he ever did loved him in this and Kim Coates It's on
Starting point is 01:24:26 the current on Amazon Prime until the 30th. So you got a day. Today and tomorrow. Yeah, you got a day to watch it. Don't sleep on it. Watch it because it's an amazing Western. One of my favorites of all time. One of the best shootout scenes ever.
Starting point is 01:24:42 And Kim Coats is in it. The guy who, you ever seen paper is in it. And so it's pretty great to see Kevin Costner playing Charlie Waite, but who was also the Mariner, fighting Kim Coates again. It's great. Oh, good point. Yeah. So anyway, the movie's awesome.
Starting point is 01:24:58 I saw this when it first came out. And it's been a long time, so I do need to maybe. I don't know if I'm going to wedge it in tonight, but. I actually did find one. I forgot that we watched and you guys took a break. Okay. Oh, cool. What do you got?
Starting point is 01:25:16 It's an old one. I watched it with the kids. The kids absolutely loved it. And this is the thing just put in our chat here. Okay. No, I'm going to put it. No. So I don't see it.
Starting point is 01:25:27 Oh, there it is. Okay. Here we go. Hit and play. Oh, my lord, I think I know what this is. I do know what it is. All right. Throughout the history of motion pictures,
Starting point is 01:25:40 there have been many big dog stars. Toto had a big adventure. Pedy had a big appetite. It's 1992. This is the kind of trailer you get in 1990. Yeah, this is an early 90s. trailer for sure. There's Lassie.
Starting point is 01:26:03 And Lassie had a big heart. You've come back. But now, Ivan Reitman, who brought you Ghostbusters, Kindergarten Cop, and Twins, proudly presents the biggest dog star of them all.
Starting point is 01:26:24 I love how everybody's trying to guess. Beethoven. There you go. Hey, Brian, guess what the movie is. I was thinking, was there a Marmaduke movie? I know Clifford hasn't come out yet. Like that we just saw the trailer for it. Nope.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Yeah. So, Beethoven. My kids love, like, Ava watches those dog movies on Netflix. Oh, Starbud or whatever. Air Bud. Star Pup. Oh, my God. She loves these talking dogs.
Starting point is 01:26:55 So I was like, I'm going to show you Beethoven. This is the kind of dog movies. grew up with. So I was still in high school when this came out. I totally forgot all the actors that were in this movie. I forgot that David DeCovine and Patricia Heaton are in it. I forgot that Bonnie Hunt is in it. I never liked the dad.
Starting point is 01:27:19 You don't like Charles Groden? Oh, I got to hate him. I don't like him. Really? Have you not seen Midnight Run? You got to watch Midnight Run. Did I see Midnight Run? If you haven't seen it in a run, yeah, you should make.
Starting point is 01:27:32 I just, I don't like him as an actor, though. I just, I don't like him. You might, you might like him. I mean, it does, he does always play shirts. He looks like he's a jerk in real life. He probably is. He looks like that kind of guy that I'm going to read stories about and go, yeah. I mean, you, you may not, he just, the dude just died.
Starting point is 01:27:53 So maybe there's stuff. Eddie. Yeah, he just barely passed away. Oh, no. Oh, don't you feel bad. I really like him in everything he's in, but he may be a total jerk in real life. He plays a great jerk on... Anyway, he plays that part well.
Starting point is 01:28:11 I mean, he's supposed to be the dad. But I have a different set of eyes watching this now, you know, from a kid's perspective, oh, yeah, let's get this puppy from an adult's person. I'm like, no, I would never just take this St. Bernard off the street. but it's a cute movie the kids loved it there's also um uh oliver what's his name oh oliver platt oh oliver platt i thought you're going to say the little kid uh helman headway fevin pal no no no no the bad guys are oliver platt and my wife's really into oliver platt right now because he's on that chicago med show and she likes
Starting point is 01:28:56 that show and he's on there but they're really they're really young in it um yeah trisha heat and david de covney stanley tochie do you like the great muppet do you like the great muppet caper any fan of that movie he's the bad guy in that one too i didn't like him in that okay i'm just checking the charles groden list here to see if there's anything you liked him in probably it looks like i'm gonna go on uh so i mean i think i've seen midnight run but maybe i haven't I'll put that down on my list to watch. That's so good. You might change your mind about, at least in that one case,
Starting point is 01:29:32 you will let the Groden be the Groden. Right. Let the Groden, be the Groodon. Be the Grodn you were meant to be. Because it's such a great moment. So fantastic. He just reminds me of like an actor that would have been on just, you know, B.C. rate movies.
Starting point is 01:29:51 Like, Midnight Run, by the way, currently streaming on Netflix. Oh. Oh, I know what I need to do. No excuse. Yeah, that movie is all. You should watch it. The Niro. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:03 Yeah, it's amazing. I'm looking. It's like, don't have the kids around. It's a lot of swearing. There's no sex or anything, but it's tons of swearing. Joey Pats is in that? Oh, man, Tennis Farina. There are so many cool actors.
Starting point is 01:30:15 I'm telling you right now, you have no idea how much you're going to love that movie. We probably overblown it, but still watch it. You probably just did. How dare you? Maybe. You probably did. I mean, I have such fun. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:30:25 Was he in daylight? Uh, who? Groden. Groden. Um, was he one of the guys that they're trying to get to the top of the surface? I loved daylight. Daylight. That movie was Sylvester Stallone?
Starting point is 01:30:38 I still think about that movie when I go through a tunnel. Hold on. 96. Daylight? No, not seeing it. I see the movie. Um, but he's, yeah. Oh, you're thinking of Dan Hediah.
Starting point is 01:30:50 She was in, uh, she's thinking of, Nicole, you're thinking of Dan Hediah. You're thinking of. You're thinking of that guy. They look a lot of like. Oh, yeah. Do you maybe not like Dan Hadaia? This whole thing, it turns out it was just Dan Hadaia the whole time. That'd be amazing.
Starting point is 01:31:12 Oh, my gosh. I'm looking at the actors. I'm curious. Dan Hattaya is great. Who's that? Oh, he's great. His Vigal Mortensen was in Daylight? Nick Tortelli.
Starting point is 01:31:22 Yeah, Vigo Mortensen's in Daylight. J.O. Sanders is in there. He's cool. No one else I recognize. Sage Stallone, one of Stallone's kids. Yeah. Who's the guy that you think I don't like? Dan Hadaia.
Starting point is 01:31:36 He was Nick Tortellian on Shears. Yeah. Oh, Carla. He was the bad. Oh, that guy. He's the skeevy lawyer guy on the Adam Sandler. Yeah, I know who you're talking about. I don't mind him.
Starting point is 01:31:47 I definitely know the difference between the two actors. I may not know their names, but they physically look different to me. He's great. I kind of want to just go on a Dan Hiday Grodin is just really good at playing jerky characters probably doing it so well that he makes you think he's a jerk in real life. Yeah, and that's, I mean,
Starting point is 01:32:05 I guess that's a good sign of an actor. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I forgot about Blood Simple. All right, anyway. There's your list of movies, everyone, including a couple of bonuses there. So Beath Oven is one of them. It's got a dog. Beath oven. It's on Netflix. Yeah, it's on Netflix. You got
Starting point is 01:32:21 your thing, Brian Watch, called WKRP in Cincinnati. what the call? Small town news. Small town news. And then do not forget and do not sleep on open range, which is there till tomorrow. Oh, I thought you said home on the range. No, no, open range. Oh, hell no.
Starting point is 01:32:42 That's a very different thing. I thought that was a cartoon. Open range, which I think is only, anyway, if it doesn't, if you can't find it or you're in a place where you can't get it, it's worth a rental. I just, if you like Westerns at all, it's... Hey, by the way, an open range is what Dermick McRoney burned his unit on in American that was an open range. Yeah, it was an open range.
Starting point is 01:33:07 You're right. He was standing there naked in front of an open range. Nicole, this is great because you write all these down and then put them up on your Twitter account and home on the range or open range. Either way, it'll be there. So check that out, Nicole Spag on Twitter. Have a great week. You too.
Starting point is 01:33:25 See you next time. Bye now. Okay. I already know, by the way, I already know one of my recommendals for next week. Yeah. But I still have 30 minutes left of the final episode because I was too tired last night to finish it. Oh, my God. It's so weird and good and stupid and good. Really? Not stupid. It's weird and good. I'm into weird and good. I like it.
Starting point is 01:33:49 Yeah. You know, it's another Korean thing for me to recommend that you're not going to watch. Oh, wait a minute. it's not that guy that's trained to Busan guy, his sequel thing, is it? No, it's not. It's not. It's not. So I'm going to tell you about it. Does it have English subtitles? It does.
Starting point is 01:34:05 Does it have English dubbing? It does, but don't use it because it's distracting. Oh, I think I know what it is. We had a news story about it. Oh, did we really? Go down to the second news story that we were about to read. Oh, yeah, that's exactly right. Is that the one? Okay. Yeah, I saw this and thought
Starting point is 01:34:22 Yes. I should watch that. This thing is about to overtake Bridgeton as the most popular series on Netflix. Whoa. Ever. Does that mean it's got the sex in it? Is there the sexual? There is sex in it.
Starting point is 01:34:36 There is actually nudity. Oh, well, all right, Korea. Surprisingly. Yeah, look at Korea going all in there. Yes. But I know, it is, I'm planting my flag on it right now, but if you want to watch it between now and then, we can talk about it. I'm just so excited for more what we do in the shadows later tonight. Carter and I were laughing our heads off.
Starting point is 01:34:57 That was some good dad-doubt-or TV time. I need to watch. Basically, we're waiting until the end of October to get caught up. To do a binge watch of what we do in the shadows. You're about to learn things about the Nandor actor you thought you'd never know. Really? That's all I'll say about that because I don't want to blow it. But as soon as you hear it, you'll go, oh, that's what Scott meant, and you'll be thrilled.
Starting point is 01:35:19 It's amazing. All right. Um, where are we now? End of the show. Are we? I know it's not our show notes, Scott, but it's the end of the show. Yeah, you're right. You are right.
Starting point is 01:35:35 We are done. Let's see. My wife just sent me something big. What is this, honey? Oh, gosh. And now I'm nervous. Whatever you do, don't eat the jambolia. Oh, it's some, we have to co-sign on something.
Starting point is 01:35:47 All right. Well, I'll worry about that later. Yeah, don't eat the jambolia. It's been in the refrigerator too long. Who wants to tell her? All right, that is it. We're done. Patreon.com slash TMS is how this effort is funded.
Starting point is 01:36:02 This concern is funded. And without your help, it doesn't get funded. Patreon.com slash TMS is the place. And if you're looking for more details on that or anything else we're doing here, all roads lead to frogpants.com slash TMS. And now we'll get out of here. We've got to play a song, though, because them's the rules. Do you have a song?
Starting point is 01:36:19 Songs are the rules. Kevin Chu. wrote in, I-Corps wrote in, said hello, scrubbing and bubbles. I just got back from a trip to Seattle where I dropped my first born off for her first year of college. My little girl is now a freshman at the University of Washington. I added the crying sound to that. I already miss her terribly, as do her mother and brother. Our family is now a little smaller, and we're still getting used to it.
Starting point is 01:36:41 When you have a chance, could you play circus covered by Dirty Loops? The original, of course, by Britney Spears. I think it's an interesting cover of a pop song. Plus, it was the first time my then eight-year-old daughter had her to cover. She was impressed that a song could be the same, but also different. And boy, is it different. Thanks, and it would be nice to test the ship's phasers to make sure they don't sound like a car horn and scream. Oh, man, I don't know if I find that guy handy.
Starting point is 01:37:05 Let's see. I have that. Let's test the ship's phasers. And since I don't know where that honk is, I'll do this. I have the chef. I found it. There it is. Very good.
Starting point is 01:37:19 Signed, Kevin, A.K. I.C. I.I.I. Today, by the way, is her first day of classes. So, good luck to little I-Corps. The I-Corlet. Yeah, I-Corlet. I-Core Jr. Very cool. I-Core Jr. All right. So, as he mentioned, the song is Circus performed by Dirty Loops. These guys are great. And they are Swedish and do like a really cool rock jazz fusion style of covers. Not even describing it well because it's so good. This is their cover of, I think we've played their cover of Rolling in the Deep on the show before, but don't know. This is their cover of Circus, originally by Leave Brittany Alone from their album, Lupathied from 2014. Here is Dirty Loops.
