Starting point is 00:00:32 Major spoilers and more on this episode of the morning stream. It's October 4th. Happy Halloween. Looking for people for dating and relationship. So please leave a message. You want to get a look at my crotch? And this is the M.S. D.
Starting point is 00:00:53 M.S.S. This is the M.S. Morning stream. The Hell You Say. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday, October 11th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian. Hi, Brian. Hi, Scott. Happy Monday. Happy beginning of a brand new week. Thanks, man. Thanks. It was a busy weekend, but, you know, we made it through. And we did. We're here. Came out clean on the other side. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:01:31 I mean, I had a, I don't know, there was a lot going on, but I didn't manage to do a bunch of stuff I never thought I was going to get through. Would you like to hear one of the major ones? Okay. Yes, please do. Well, first of all, I'm going to share something with you in our Discord. This is a very visual thing, so I apologize to people at home. Chat room, I'll let you see it as well.
Starting point is 00:01:50 But this happened. Oh, my gosh, that looks infected. Is that, you're going to have a doctor look at that? Well, it's not even my real. It's not even my actual penis. Just kidding. This is an animated gif of me almost watching Parasite. Oh, okay, whatever.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I'm going to make sure to take a picture of me almost taking out the trash and send it to Tina and see what she thinks of that. And make sure you have it as the focus window. I like you just hover back and forth over the play button. Is there audio that I'm not hearing? Nope, it's just a gift. And it's, you know, it's just count for anything. It doesn't. It doesn't count for anything.
Starting point is 00:02:27 You know what it counts? for is me going through the work of creating a gif of me hovering over a thing, which I'm no intention of watching. I know, right. That gift probably took you longer to make than it would take to watch the movie. You know, it would take me longer to make that gift than it would take to watch the movie.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Yeah, I did it in about 30 seconds. But anyway, see, the, I didn't watch that. But I did watch Black Widow. Oh, good. Not Widowmaker. You didn't watch K-19 The Widowmaker. No, I didn't watch that. Accidentally. Yeah, not... I thought Scarlet Joel Hanson was supposed to be in
Starting point is 00:02:58 this thing. All I see is Indiana Jones, that's it. What's going on? No, I saw the Black Widow and it was great. It was a great time. I really liked it. Yeah. I think, you know, and some people thought it was a little
Starting point is 00:03:13 too much of like standard spy-tropy kind of spy movie. It's kind of what I wanted. It's kind of exactly what I wanted. That's how Marvel excels, right? I mean, they do movies that aren't just a straight-up superhero movie. They make it something else.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Venom, I don't think, is as good because it is, it just tries to be a superhero beaten up a supervillain. Really, it's an anti-hero beating up a supervillain. Yeah, yeah. You've got that Florence Pugh is amazing. She's fantastic. She really steals the show. Like, I want, I want all her dialogue.
Starting point is 00:03:46 I think she's just like a superior actor to everyone. She's just that good. She is. She is. Great. David Harbour's great. Yeah, Harbour's great. That surprised me.
Starting point is 00:03:56 I thought it was going to be pure parody. and it was great. I had some real heft to it. I like Rachel Weiss. Right. You know, you watched her husband this weekend. We'll get to that in a minute. I did, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:07 But that was the thing. So when that was over, it was like Kim and I are having this kind of Sunday where we're like, we're going to catch up on stuff. And that sting, before we get off of it, that stinger at the end. Oh, yeah. You see what I mean about how it does answer the question that you asked me this last week on the show about what the setup might be, where we might see her next. And I think the, I think the Hawkeye TV show or series is going to be the next place we see her.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Probably, yeah. And I don't know. What's the deal with Elaine? Why is she in that? Is she in the MPU? Oh, because you haven't watched Falcon Winner Soldier yet. Oh, I did, but I didn't see the, well, I fell off toward the end. So I'm like four episodes into that.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Yeah, I never finished it. Oh, you got to, well, you got to finish it. Okay. All right. It's good. Yeah, I thought that was really good. All right. Well, it was...
Starting point is 00:04:56 Oh, so you're really good at half-watching... I'm good at half-watching. Yeah, I'm really good at half-watching things. You know, I mean, if you're like, you do that too, right? If you're three or four episodes into a thing, you're like, uh, okay. Yes, if I go three episodes in and I'm still not digging it, then I bail out. Although, people have told me to go back and give, um, what's that show? Everybody can go F Kevin or something like that. Kevin can go F himself.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Oh, right, with, uh, with what's her name, Alexis? Alexis from Schitt's Creek, yeah. Cancel. Oh, my gosh. It'd be great if your echo show heard you say Alexis and said, David. Ew. Ew, David. That would be great.
Starting point is 00:05:41 That's all it did. Didn't respond and ask you, what can I do for you? You, David. Yeah, that'd be great. But then we binged Ted Lassow until about 2 o'clock in the morning. Cool. Just season two or binged from the beginning? Have you seen the season?
Starting point is 00:05:54 Oh, yeah, yeah. We watched season one. as far as episode 9, so we have 10 and 11 left. You are three episodes ahead of us, and we started binging it yesterday, too. So you haven't gotten to the Coach Beard thing then? No, I have not, apparently not. What in the hell was that? I still don't quite know what to make of it.
Starting point is 00:06:15 You'll get there, and I don't want to spoil anything, but weird. I know everybody complained about that Christmas episode. I thought it was fine. Oh, I love the Christmas episode. Absolutely fine. I thought it was sweet. Yeah. What was wrong with that one?
Starting point is 00:06:27 What do people? I don't know. People were complaining about it. I think, uh, I think Randy was complaining about it. Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. But have you,
Starting point is 00:06:37 have you watched the Christmas episode yet? I've moved Catwoman to the Christmas episode. So wait a minute. The Christmas one is, I thought it was nice. What's wrong with everyone? I thought it was nice too. I had no, no issues with that. I really liked it a lot.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I mean, it was, it was a change of pace, but. it was a nice change of pace. Is it because everybody doesn't want to celebrate Christmas yet? Because you're all a bunch of curmudgeon lamos. Is that what's going on? It is weird. It is really weird to see a Christmas episode in August or September, in this case, October. I guess so.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah, but I mean, I think it came out. I think it aired in August. It did. But I remember seeing like, what, die hard in the middle of the summer and thinking, yeah, weird Christmas, but it's okay. Christmas is great. Yeah, that was just fine. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Well, the second, or the second, or no, I'm sorry, the last episode we watched, which was this coach beard thing. I still, I got questions. Interesting, okay. We're going to have to talk about it on the other side so that you can. Maybe, you know, maybe we didn't get to the last episode during our binge because I kept wanting to go back and look at Keeley's outfit in that Christmas episode. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Can I rewind, Tina? Do you mind if I rewind again? I think I might have missed something. Yeah, I want to see sexy Christmas outfit again. please yeah but i like the sub this sub story about the bad breath girl it was cracking me up it was great looking for a dentist and yeah it's so good it's it's an interesting thing and ted and rebecca going out and playing santa claus yeah that was nice i like that all right well f allie maybe they didn't like the little uh the santa claus at the end cartoon thing up in the
Starting point is 00:08:14 sky maybe that's oh maybe but that's just in that kid's imagination whoever whoever didn't like that has no soul that's what i'm saying also if you watch the coach beard one keep Keep in mind the kid that saw the thing. I'm just saying, just saying. Maybe that'll help you. Maybe that'll help you with that episode. It's a complicated thing that episode. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Interesting. Okay. All right. I watched, I finished Midnight Mass this weekend. Oh, how's that going there? Excellent. Good, good Halloween viewing and, my goodness, the end of episode five. Holy crap, to those who've seen it, I'm not going to say it.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I'm not going to say anything else about it, but holy crap, the end of episode five. And the whole series, it sticks to the landing. It does a really good job of getting you to the end. And, you know, you're kind of sad about who makes it to that final episode and who doesn't. But that's it. That's all I'm going to say about that. And did Coach Taylor ever show up? He ever show up to help out?
Starting point is 00:09:21 He never did. I was really hoping he'd come to the. the island and say uh that's a shame saracen yeah saracen get out there don't you come over to my house for dinner and night sarac yeah dude 10 laps and then you're coming to my house we'll have we'll talk about you and your grandma and your problems yeah okay i was hoping for that uh did the pope did the pope ever show up and hold mass did that ever happen with the pope uh the pope nope nope nope to the pope not even a zombie a zombie pope or a ghost pope none of that no zombie no Ghost, no We're Wolf Pope, no, none of that.
Starting point is 00:09:51 But make sure you finish that series before it gets too long because it, you know, you don't get recaps in that show. Like, I do like when there's a show we're watching, and it's been a while since we've seen an episode, and previously on Such and Such. And most of the time we skip it, but because during a binge, you don't need to. Sure. Need to see that stuff. But there's no recap in Midnight Mass, so you want to make sure you keep going.
Starting point is 00:10:17 You also cracked the why the last man. I did, yeah. I think I'm almost caught up to all the episodes that have been released. I'm halfway through Weird Al is dead. Episode Weird Al is dead. I have not gone to that episode. You're ahead of me by one then, I think. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:34 And it took me a second to freaking recognize Missy Pyle. Oh, yeah. I did completely have not been recognized her. That first time you see her, like, oh, wow, okay, this is a pretty stern lady right here. And then at the end credits roll just a few minutes after you meet her. And I'm like, oh, my God, that was Missy Pyle. I still wasn't sure after I saw her name in IMD. I'm like, wait a minute, who are you?
Starting point is 00:10:57 What is this character? And then someone pointed it out or finally told me. And I was like, oh, well, that's new. She's usually a Wackadoo girl. She usually is. I mean, we don't know. She might still be a Wackadoo girl in this, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Messy Pile, everybody. Messy Pile. Messy Pile. We used to call her that on, That wasn't, you yell R even. We used to color music. Oh, really? That's funny.
Starting point is 00:11:21 What a horrible. What a horrible name. It was a horrible name for a lovely, lovely woman, great actor, comedian, all that. Yeah. We also went and saw as you alluded to earlier. We saw no time to die. 132 minute James Bond film that, in my opinion, um, it was a great, great send-off for Daniel Craig's James Bond.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Is it a good James Bond movie, though? It's a very good James Bond movie. Okay. It's, um, uh, yeah, it, it, uh, I mean, do you want to see Spector right before any might? Because it does pick up, the, the, the Daniel Craig movies have done a great job of, like, picking up right where the last one left off. Um, I've seen everything but Spector, though. Okay, then, then watch Spector before you see it.
Starting point is 00:12:13 The Spector is streaming on Hulu right now, I believe. Yeah. as of a couple days ago, I think all the Daniel Craig ones got added to Hulu. It does some things that I've never seen them do before in a Bond movie,
Starting point is 00:12:28 and it really, really surprised me. This one's not a spoiler, but you get theme music from another James Bond movie in this one. Oh, Moonraker. Specifically a... No, from...
Starting point is 00:12:45 Well, if I tell you, One of the George Lazenby movies, I guess it kind of gives it away, doesn't it? Because he was only in one. Yeah. He was only in one. So, yeah, you get. Weird. It is weird.
Starting point is 00:12:56 It's cool, though, and it's a great reference. Like, it's a very appropriate reference. You still got your Ray Fines as your M or whatever. You do? Yeah. You got Ray Fines. You got that new Q younger guy. You've got Manipene.
Starting point is 00:13:15 I mean, you get the whole. you get the whole set of, what is, MI6? MI6, you don't get any Judy Dench flashbacks or anything, do you that, or do you? You even get a little Judy Dench, I'm not going to lie. There's a, and a little Doug Llewellyn. Doug Llewellyn? No, Doug Llewellyn was the old Q. Who was the old M?
Starting point is 00:13:39 Oh, back in the day. Back in the day. You get, yeah, you get, you get quite the, and it doesn't not feel. at all, like, fan service. It's like, oh, this is great. It's good. Lots of good car chases, things like that in there. Good car chases.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Well, you know, a solid storyline, Rami Malick. I can't believe he did the entire movie and didn't blink once. It's amazing. He does his whole life without blinking once. He does. I know. He's inhuman, is what he is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Hack the world. Oh, Desmond Llewellyn. You know who Doug Llewellyn is? Doug Llewellyn was the guy from the people's corner. Durn, dun, dun, dun, yeah, that's who that is. Jasmine Llewellyn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's an easy one to mix up.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Look, I have that right there. Just right there at the handy. That's who, that's who Doug Llewellyn was. The People's Court. Our litigants have agreed to settle their dispute in our forum. Yeah. Which means they signed a waiver saying they'll never take it to real court and they just want to be on TV. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Yeah, you know what that means. Anyway, excellent. Excellent send off to Daniel Craig. and I don't know what they do next. It's all I can say. Well, they probably just do like always. They start over kind of, right? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:57 I just find a new guy and go, all right, let's go. Or lady or whatever. I don't care who they pick. I think Bond movies, I mean, I don't think they've ever been better than they've been with the Daniel Craig stuff on the whole. And so it's going to be a tall order to get the right person for the next thing. but, you know, all these rumored people, I'd be fine with any of them. Mm-hmm. They all sound great.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Somebody told me Tilda Swinton was in some running the other day. Oh, really? That's a weird pick. She's too, I think she's too towering. She's like a giant crane's going to destroy us all. I don't think it works. Maybe. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Maybe. But you get your, you got your... Adisa of Wombat says, New-O-7 is a black lady. Now, have you seen the film at ease of Wombat? because that question is asked and answered, I think. Oh, is it now? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Hmm. Oh, Haley Atwell. Haley Atwell as a James Bond would be great. She would be good. Oh, and I forgot to mention we watched the first what-if the Captain Britain thing. Oh, the Captain Carter one. Yeah, yeah, it was good. I liked it a lot.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It's cool. Yeah, what do you think of that animation style? It reminds me, it probably is actually. I think they're doing that in a game engine. I don't know what, maybe Unreal or something, but they're using techniques that I think... I actually think that is a very cool crossover and I don't have really a problem with it.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Like, people don't realize, or maybe don't know this because they haven't looked at the behind-the-scenes stuff, but most of the Mandalorian is shot with Unreal Engine stuff happening in the background and effects and stuff. It's amazing. No, it's incredible. So I'm all in on that, and this particular thing looked like a video game, but in a good way. I don't mean that as a pejorative at all.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Yeah, I was worried at the very beginning and seeing the trailers for what if before the show started that it was going to be distracting, that that style of animation was almost going to look too much like that. That's what took me out of scanner darkly and whatever the other one was that used that same rotoscoping, weird computer-generated cell shading thing. This avoids those trappings and feels more dynamic and more hand done and that sort of thing. The chat room, somebody in the chat says it's the same style as the Spiderverse. Not even close. It's not even close to that. I would call this more like it's really cut scenes in a video game.
Starting point is 00:17:23 It's really what it feels like. But a really well-made, expensive one. It's nice. And I liked it. I really enjoyed it. Kim did too. And she didn't think she was gunning. She was like, oh, is this animated?
Starting point is 00:17:35 I'm like, what do you have against animation? She goes, no, I just don't know if I'm in the mood. And then we watched it. Oh, that was great. Let's keep going. Like, well, we got to watch Ted Lassick because Carter's home. Oh, okay. Well, we'll watch more later.
Starting point is 00:17:45 So anyway, it was nice. Cool. All right. Sorry, I'm just checking to see why my cameras. It's only, it's a tiny bit fuzzy. Here's the thing. If I open that webcam settings, it's going to look like I'm in a either under French fry lights or I'm in a troglodyte cave or something.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Yeah. Chat room. Leave Brian alone. He's fine. Leave my camera alone. He looks fine. He looks great. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Let's get a, let's get a, uh, a, uh, a Dunaway in this part of the world. Yeah. Yeah. I do believe, uh, I do believe that will make us have, we'll go from good time to great time. Mm. With Dunaway. I agree. I agree.
Starting point is 00:18:28 He elevates things. Except for some reason. It just said, use are not found. Okay. Oh. There. Now he's found. I don't know what that was about.
Starting point is 00:18:37 I heard he just decided up and quit. He's just out. He's like, I'm done. Forget it. Yeah, I'm done with Discord, yeah. F this stupid software. I'm never using it again kind of thing. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Fair enough. Well, while we wait for him. Maybe. Maybe a defendant. Brian Dunaway. He's in trouble for growing his tree too big or whatever the hell they used to do. All right, here it is. Hey, look who it is.
Starting point is 00:19:07 It's Brian Dunaway joining us from South Carolina. Hello, Brian. Hello. Hi, Scott and Brian. Hello. How are you? How are you? Oh, it's the new week. You know how I feel about new weeks. I love them.
Starting point is 00:19:18 New opportunities, yes. What do you love most about a new week? What is that new opportunity to afford you in your mind? What do you like? Everything. Anything that failed last week is behind me. It's in the past is the liking. That's good.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Because weeks are an arbitrary construction. It's a construct of human minds. We all made it up, right? The week is just a thing we all agreed is a thing. So you've been able to parlay that and say, all right, I'm taking this human construct known as a week, and I'm going to use it as a way to reset my mental acuity, right? That's what you've done. That's what I do.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Every, like every Sunday night, I go, okay, what happened last week? Oh, that was bad. We'll start over. Yeah. Now, do you ever think, oh, this week will just be like the last one, and I'll just have to keep doing this in perpetuity. You can tell him dead. Yeah, I hate those weeks. Those are the worst.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Those are bad weeks, yeah. Yeah, there's the worst. All right. Well, let's start it off right for you today with this fun time together. And also a chance for some listeners to win some stuff. So, hey, Brian, but why don't you take it away and tell us what the hell we're doing? I was afraid I was going to have to go for a second because doorbell rang and I thought it was some people taking out the trees next door. Nope, FedEx, just dropping off a package.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Very nice. Hey, welcome to the morning squirm, boys. It's a back-and-forth trivia game where our players match what's on topics that Cliff Levin would have offered up at the cheers bar. Scott and Brian will take turns answering multiple choice trivia questions, and if they get it wrong, the other player gets a point. The player with the most points after five questions wins the
Starting point is 00:20:46 prize for their contestant, and we're pulling contestants from members of the tadpool that aren't able to be here and listen live. Scott, you're going to be playing for Katie T. from Nevada, I believe formally from Chicago, because I met her in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Brian, you're going to be playing for Brendan J from Concord, North Carolina. So just, you know, you can probably wave to them from your window. Just say, hi, Brendan. A little fist bump. That's right, the Carolinas. Yeah, exactly. You got to share those panthers.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Form of a giant state. That's right. You know what? You guys are like Voltron and you make one giant panther that plays the NFL. Yeah, good job. It's interesting. You guys are both playing for people who live in the state adjacent to you. Oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I like that. All right. That's cool. All right. Let's give you guys some questions. I think, Brian, I think you won last time. So we're going to begin with you. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Hey, remember McDonald's? Remember when you went and had a McRib live during a coverthon? You went and drove there and actually ate a McRib while we did a live coverthon. I remember that. I'll never forget it. Yeah. Well, the item with the most calories at McDonald's isn't a McRib, believe it or not. Which menu item clocks in at 1,000.
Starting point is 00:22:05 $1,090 calories. Is it? That seems light for McDonald's. Go ahead. It kind of does, doesn't it? Is it a large raspberry triple-thick milkshake? Is it a 20-piece box of chicken McNuggets? Is it a large McAfee-Orepo?
Starting point is 00:22:22 Or is it a big breakfast with hash browns and sausage? I'm surprised Big Mac's not on there. Say the question again. I heard the possibilities, but go ahead. Yep. The item with most calories at McDonald's isn't a burger. which menu item clocks in at 1,090 calories. God, I just, I just know that breakfast thing, that big, that big breakfast crap.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Yeah, isn't that the one with a pancake too, like eggs, pancake, it is. It is. Oh, my God, never look at the calories of one of those, uh, of those pancake egg McMuffin things. Where there's things called the, uh, oh, McFlurry? No, no, no, no, no, the McRiddle, McRiddle. McRiddle, yeah. But now I'm going to go with the, the big, giant nasty breakfast d all right is it the big breakfast it is not scott that's the point and uh a chance
Starting point is 00:23:13 to steal but not get any additional points uh scott the remaining answers are the large raspberry triple thick milkshake the 20 piece box of chicken mcnuggets or the large macfay orio frape um i feel like it's those nuggets it's all those nuggets 20 nuggets who's meant to eat 20 mc nuggets Yeah. Why is that a little... It's not a single serving? Even like a little four or six pieces, really too much. It's like there's whatever's around those fake pieces.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Agre to disagree. It's not... It's not good. I'm on my sixth nugget with the sour sauce. All the sweet and sour sauce. More please. Both got it wrong. It's actually the large raspberry triple milk milkshake.
Starting point is 00:23:56 That's what I thought it would be. But I was like, nah. Well, maybe you should guess that if that's what you thought it would be. I know, but this is always a mind game. because it's like here's multiple choice and it's like well that makes sense but this one over here that sounds like it would be it so it can't be it right right the 20 nuggets have to be a big bunch though if you did I can't believe none of those things aren't over a thousand I would have thought all of those would have been around 2,000 calories totally oh yeah totally yeah
Starting point is 00:24:21 well I know it seems like the lowest calorie thing in McDonald's is 1,090 calories the 20 p oh I found it the 20 piece macnuggets caloric intake equals they don't know because no one's ever been able to do it well hold on it's here why does this article take it so long the uh 96 channel the ticto mcnugget challenge the tic mcnugget challenge don't do it don't do it you'll die this this article says it's going to tell me the the the caloric whatever and it never does it tells me how much you click baited click I did it tells me how how much each one weighs and stuff like that I don't care about that let's see four pieces is 193 calories
Starting point is 00:25:02 Yeah, so not even close. Not even close to the thousand. So five times, so five times that is about, it's just under a thousand. It's still a lot, dude. Yeah. It is a lot. Oh, yeah, no doubt. Well, I don't think anyone wants to ingesting you eat it, but go ahead.
Starting point is 00:25:17 I think that's share size. Let's stick with that category and go over to Scott for this one. Maybe this will kick you off of fast food. A study showed that this contained the most traces of E. coli at a fast food restaurant. Is it the milkshakes, the french fries, the chicken nuggets, or the crushed ice? I heard this somewhere, but now I don't remember. I remember crushed ice and being a little shocked by a story, but it may have just been that story and it wasn't like the most whatever, but I'll say crushed ice because for some reason that's, that's a memory for me.
Starting point is 00:26:02 It is indeed the crushed ice. Yeah, crushed ice. Probably people sticking their hands in there and get nice cubes out after going to the bathroom or whatever. Let me tell you how gloves don't work. Yeah. I've seen people do it all that time. They put gloves on and they just work on everything. I'm like, okay, this protection of your hands, but you're not working with toxic material.
Starting point is 00:26:24 First you're handling the money and now you're just pushing the cup into the ice. So let me ask you. Let me ask this. This is talking about. to self-serve ice as well? Like when you get a bridge? It doesn't say it just says... I would assume so because they still fill that thing up because they bring out a big
Starting point is 00:26:40 old bucket of ice and they pour it in there. And they use their hand to like pull it in and yeah. To pull right to get it all out of the tub and stuff. Yeah. It may be used one of those again. That's horrible. Scott's in the lead two to nothing. Brian, this one's going to you.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Listen, don't do anything that's going to kill more brain cells. How many brain cells die every second? all by themselves in your head? Is it 100, 1,000, 32,000, or 320,000? Oh, my Lord. I like the idea that they're all having that little baby brain heart attacks and just falling over dead, just, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:16 by themselves. I didn't do anything. I'm going to go with... Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. The natural causes. I'm a coroner.
Starting point is 00:27:26 I'm a brain cell coroner. I'm very busy. I'm going to go with... You said B was 1,000? B was 1,000, yes. That sounds so, that sounds so rounded, and C was, would you say, was 32,000. Oh. That seems like a lot.
Starting point is 00:27:47 It is a lot, yeah. But there are so many, there are billions, right? There are billions. I'm going to go with the C. I'm going to go with C. 32,000? Yeah. The answer is.
Starting point is 00:28:02 C, 32,000. Very good, Brian. Well done. How often? Did they die? Every second. Every second. Holy shit. Every second I'm having a little funeral for 32,000 brain cells. Wow. That's a lot. Where they go? Yeah, but the, well, there's others being, it's all like out with the old and with the new, right? Right. New cells come in and old cells go out. Talia and Bobby might be able to clarify on this.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Like they're talking about neurons versus brain cells or versus. is Glea, G-O-A. Right. I lose a lot more Glea than your average man. Glea. Glea. Glea. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:42 This one's going back over to Scott. In 1978, the typical CEO earned roughly 30 times their typical workers' salary. As of 2018, how much more did the typical CEO earn today compared to office workers? Did they earn 100 times more money than their typical workers' salary? salary, 87 times more money, 287 times more money, or 154 times more money. No one's going to win at this game. This game sucks. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Like, even if you get the right answer, we all lose. It's still sad. Well, I know it's, I know there's, you know, recent data showing massive spikes and disparity. Right. And, you know, and obviously this isn't Bezos or Zuckerberg. Yeah, they're not typical. The typical CEO compared to their office workers.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Like the guy what runs Pepsi, for example, or something like that, I guess. Jiffy Loub. The Jiffy Loeb guy. That's right in the middle. Jiffy Loub. Let's go with, um, let's go with the, was there a 287? There was a 287. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:29:50 That's the one I want to do. That's exactly right. 287 times more money than their typical office employee. It felt like that was a lot, but not, not, unrealistically a lot. Hold on a second. I've got to go talk to my CEO. Be right back.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Exactly. No kidding. Yeah. Crazy. All right. Well, that... I'm mathematically eliminated. You've been mathematically eliminated.
Starting point is 00:30:14 There's one more question. And you get it, Brian. Excellent. Excellent. In Iran, 14 of these were arrested on suspicion of espionage. 14 what was it? A, squirrels. B, toddlers.
Starting point is 00:30:28 C. Ireland. I'm sorry. tourists or tourists from Iceland or D. Circus Clowns. God, this feels like such a trick question because only one sounds reasonable, right? Right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:30:40 And all the rest of them sound insane. So you're like, well, it can't be the reasonable one. It's got to be the insane thing. Yeah. It sounds like a political move to be able to get babies from one spot to another. So I'm going to say that even though it was charged that way, I think there was other motivation.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I'm going to say babies. Babies, toddlers. Is the answer, toddlers? No, Scott, you get another point. Do you want to take a stab at this? Yeah, give me the Remainers. The Remainters are squirrels, tourists from Iceland, or circus clowns. I mean, the temptation is to say circus clowns, but I kind of like tourists from Iceland. Sure.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Like hovering over the ground. Oh, no, those aren't Iceland tourists. They'll have weird Guttmannstotter names. Is it tourists from Iceland and Bjork? No, it is not. But in Iran, in 2007, the Iranian army arrested a team of 14 spy squirrels found near a nuclear enrichment plant. Officials say they succeeded in apprehending the suspects, quote, before they were able to take any action. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Spice squirrels? I definitely feel like I was scammed. Tell me what you want, what you really, really want? That's what it sounds like. Ice squirrels. Or spice squirrels, yeah, exactly. I don't know why I say ice. Congratulations, Scott, and by proxy, congratulations KDT from Nevada.
Starting point is 00:32:05 You're getting a pair of games from Wesley on Steam. You're getting Orwell, Ignorance's Strength, and PGA Tour 2K21, the newest edition of PGA Tour. I love that game. I have that on my Series X and PC. It's a fantastic golf game. It's the golf game to own. It makes all the others look bad. It's great.
Starting point is 00:32:27 It's really good. If you like golf, if you don't like golf. If you don't like golf, then, you know, maybe you don't want it. Exactly. But Brendan Jay, you're not going home empty-handed or you're not staying home empty-handed anyway because you didn't come in. You're getting Neon Abyss. Oh, very good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:41 That's a good one as well. Way to go, Targill. Are we continuing the trend where the person who gets the single game gets a better game than the other game? I think it depends on your taste in this case, but they're both excellent. But that second one is a really awesome little rogue-like pixel thing. It's a, that's a, I loved that one. I had a total blast with it. Nice.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Yeah. Both will be happy, I believe. I believe that's a good, good. We want them both to be happy and satisfied with their win. Congratulations. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Hey, Brian, today, speaking of little pixelated brog likes, often those come up on the show we call the Boop Show,
Starting point is 00:33:16 which is happening later this afternoon at 3.30 Mountain Time. We talk about indie titles and whether you should be playing them or not. We play a couple and talk about them during the week as well as some news and some other stuff. So you should check that out if you want to watch. it live at 3.30 Mountain Time right here at frogpants.tv. Is there anything you'd like to add before I cut you off? Absolutely. I've been enjoying Arcade Tycoon. And also, right after the Boop Show, I will be guesting on Court Killers. Oh, very nice. Check it out. Yeah. Nice. Oh, that's great. That's a great show to guest on. So look forward to that. Good people over there. Good people. So, wait, are we before or after
Starting point is 00:33:50 that thing? We're before. Me and you'll be doing the Boob Show. And then right after that, we'll be Cool word. It'll be nice and tight. Nice and tight. Yep. That's what you said. All right. Brian,
Starting point is 00:34:03 have a fantastic week, day, time thing, hours before I see you again. Bye. He's gone now. There's nothing but to do except for... To do news. Shit, here it is. It's time for the news brought to you by. Do you have strong feelings on why smartphones don't need screen protectors or why
Starting point is 00:34:26 mechanical keyboards are the best keyboards. Review Geek is looking for freelance writers with three years or more of professional writing experience to fill out our geeky technology content. We pay $100 per article and we pay on time every time. Not 20%

Starting point is 00:35:01 The fourth TMS anniversary mug should have said, there are four mugs. Come on, get it together, guys. That's a good point. Why didn't we do that? Why didn't we do? There are four mugs. No, you know what? We put that on the fifth mug. That's where it's the funniest spot. Yeah, duh. We're doing that. Brian's right. Except that's not the fourth anniversary. We're on about the, it'll be the 11th anniversary. January. Yeah, we're way past that. But we do have a certain, you know, we only have a finite number of mugs. And when we hit the fifth, it makes more sense to put that on there. So we're gonna. That's a great idea. We're totally going to do that. Yeah, I like it. There are four mugs. I think we're already locked in. So you could say, or maybe it says, this is my fourth coffee. No, that wouldn't work. There are four mugs way back. It may have a little Picard head on there going. Yeah, that's exactly. You don't get it unless you see a little Picard head. Yeah, that's I always say. Unless there's a little Picard head, forget it. All right. Hey, check this out. I know you and I at least are Seinfeld fans. There's plenty of them out there. Many considerate the greatest sitcom ever made. Now the chat room can sit and talk amongst themselves. Yeah, they're going to say, I hate Seinfeld. Seinfeld sucks. I've never seen an episode of Seinfeld. Yeah, we can predict everything you guys are about to do.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Anyway, the fans are all upset because the iconic comedy series has a new aspect ratio on Netflix. And this isn't necessarily breaking news. This has been kind of been in an argument for a couple of weeks. But I did one. want to talk about it. All 180 episodes of the beloved 90s sitcom, Seinfeld recently dropped on Netflix. However, fans are not noticing. The jokes aren't translating as well as they used to in a couple of cases anyway, thanks to the streamer updated or updated the show from 4-3 to be 16-9 in its aspect ratio. The frame is cropped, thus leaving out some important visuals on the top or the bottom. Social media is vocal about the viewing experience, with many pointing out specific instances in the show where the ratio crop is the worst. Example that comes up a great deal is season eight episode, The Pothole,
Starting point is 00:37:01 in which in a particular scene, George Costanza, Jason Alexander, is yelling at the pavement, but with the update, what exactly he's yelling at is not shown because it's cut off. Now, the same thing happened with Simpsons, and Disney Plus ended up fixing it. They're not fixing it, going back. And here's, I like, I'd much rather get the shows in, 16-9 and not have the weird black bars on the TV and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:37:26 But here's all, I mean, just go back and fix the episodes where people have noticed plot points that are out of frame. Like, this one's a good example. Are there others? You know, this is the only one I've heard about was the pothole issue. Even if there are, they're only going to be maybe a handful. So go back and just tweak those, shift it up a little for that one scene. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:48 And you're good. And otherwise, I mean, some have complained that it just, the show feels too. cozy and framed in now? Right, right. I get that. You're having to technically zoom in because you're... Yeah. But what I found is we had it on yesterday and I'm...
Starting point is 00:38:03 It's fine. It's just fine. It's not a problem. Did you hover over the play button for Seinfeld and then make a gif of yourself hovering on a lot of the... No, because, you know, that was background noise. We didn't really watch it. I know.
Starting point is 00:38:16 It's a whole different watch than you basically, when you commit to watching Parasite, it's, you know you can't have the iPad open you can't be tweeting on your phone or anything like that because it's subtitles you got to pay attention is it uh why is parasite listed as a comedy drama or drama yeah comedy drama because it's there there are dark comedy elements to it um there's a uh uh a how what's the word almost like a twilight zone out of twilight zone black mirror kind of thing i don't know there are There are aspects of it that are like, huh, okay, all right, kind of thing. Do you think Lennonade ever has any real fun in his life? For those of you listening to the audio of this, Leninade just said, because it's funny, you boob. No, that's not what he said. He said after that, can they go in and fix the chronic misogyny?
Starting point is 00:39:15 I'm Seinfeld. Is there anything you can, is there anything you can, is there anything you can enjoy. I don't think there's anything left. There's nothing Lennonade can enjoy. That's a real bummer. Lennonade, we love you 3,000. Of course we do. But he's absolutely right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Yeah. Anyway, so this is a thing. Netflix promoted Seinfeld like crazy this last week or whatever, or the week before it aired there. Now, this is odd because Netflix had Seinfeld before and ran it in its original aspect ratio for a long time.
Starting point is 00:39:48 But by Hulu or some else had it for a while and promoted the crap out of that that they had it. Yeah, then they got it. It just changes hands. Whoever, I don't know who bellies up money and then you just change hands. So Hulu had it. They had the 4x3 and they've had it for more than a couple of years
Starting point is 00:40:04 I think. And then there was this three month hiatus and then Netflix making this big deal about it coming back. I don't know if that three months was all the time needed to freaking get everything in 69. I don't know. But like if I watch Cheers on Netflix, it's
Starting point is 00:40:21 four by three. I don't know why they had to change it. And I'm not... That's true. That's a good point. I don't really care, honestly. Like, the black bars don't bother me either way. Like, that's how I watched that when I was a kid, so whatever. It's just not that big a deal. And you've kind of got the option on your on some of your devices, certainly on
Starting point is 00:40:37 tablets, my iPad can do this, where if you're watching something that's got black bars, you can double tap on the screen and it zooms it to where the shortest of the ratio goes to the largest, like basically it goes to fill as opposed to actual size.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Right, right. I mean, if I have my druthers, it would be make it zoomable but not lose any definition when you do that. Right, right, yeah. Can they, I wonder if they can even do that. Like, I don't know if they can do that. That would be great if they could. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:41:11 Just let me choose. Give people the option. If they want, if the black bars are a problem, then. Yeah. I guess, yeah, it is an issue. I retract my previous statement. I guess you kind of want it in the format that it was originally shot for because that is what the director had in mind for the layout of the scene.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Yeah, yeah, I agree. Yeah. All right, well, anyway, so that's the thing. You can go watch it. It's on now. So go check it out. I don't want to now. I'm not going to get any of the jokes.
Starting point is 00:41:41 What's everybody looking at in the bottom of this frame? I didn't know this. Netflix promoted Seinfeld, the Seinfeld move to the streaming. He keeps saying the streamer. Quit doing that article, Deadline.com. With a new ad featuring comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Brian Cranston's
Starting point is 00:41:56 character Tim Watley situated on a Lego set based on Seinfeld's apartment. All episodes are currently available for streaming. I didn't see that ad. I didn't either. I mean, I know he's Tim Watley, but, oh, JC Calhoun said it was bad. Yeah, and I know that there was a recent Lego set based on
Starting point is 00:42:11 on Seinfeld, the apartment, Jerry's apartment. Oh, right. Didn't you get, you have something that's his jerk? I have the other, the Funko Pop Oh, right. A version of the apartment, because it's not, it's a, it's, they're actually good sculpts of the characters as opposed to the dead eye funco pop. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:29 They're the ones with not the giant heads, right? They're the other kind. Right, exactly. Unlike, unlike, like, all right, I cover up the bottom of it. Who's this? Who's this guy? I have no, Sheldon. You'd think, right?
Starting point is 00:42:41 Yeah. Oh, my lord. Yeah. Surprise. We should do a whole game of guest funko pop. Based on just seeing the head. Yeah, the only one that you'd get is that Klingon or that Worf one. I'd have to spend so much money on getting these.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Or I guess I'd just get screenshots of them in Photoshop and cover them up. Guess the pop. That's a great name too, I-Corps. It actually kind of is, yeah. There's something there. Guess the Funko Pop. That's a great way of satirizing how shitty they are and having fun with it at the same time. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:43:15 I do like that apartment scene because what's great is, As I finish painting my Marvel minis, I can put them in that layout to take pictures of them to put online to show people. So, you know, I can have Scarlet Witch sitting there in Jerry's kitchen with all his cereal. Yeah, right? A bunch of bowls laying around. Exactly. It's good stuff. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Here's a thing for you. Okay. People, the people who claim to hear the northern lights, they exist. Oh, sure. You can hear them in, uh, you can hear them in, uh, One of the Bank and Rass or Rankin Bass, Bankin' Rass
Starting point is 00:43:56 Rankin' Bass animated deals. Oh, all right. Yeah, like a twinkle, like North Pole thing. Or is that elf? Or is that? Hold on a second. Oh, that's so familiar now. Yeah, yeah. You dug something up for my childhood.
Starting point is 00:44:18 That's an easy one to spoonerize. don't worry. I'll be laughing at that when I go to Raskin-Bobbins for some ice cream. Yeah, some Raskin' bobbins. Hmm. 32... 23 flavors. They got 23 flavors there, Brian. 23. 13 flavors. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:33 There you go. The people who claim to hear the Northern Lights, that's a thing. A wishing or a whizzing sound. Anyway, it's a question that has puzzled observers for centuries. Do the fantastic green and crimson displays of light of the Aurora Borealis
Starting point is 00:44:49 produce any discernible sound. Conjured by the interaction of the solar particles with gas molecules and Earth's atmosphere, the aurora generally occurs near Earth's poles. I don't mean the Polish. Okay. It's not what they mean. Where the magnetic field is strongest reports the aurora making a noise, however, are rare, so people do it rarely.
Starting point is 00:45:09 And we're historically dismissed by scientists. But a Finnish study, which is now finished. In 2016, claimed to have finally. confirmed that the northern lights really do produce sound audible to the human ear. One of the researchers involved in the study captured a sound, possibly made by the captivating lights, and it was estimated to have originated 70 meters or about 230 feet above ground level. Still, the mechanism behind the sound remains somewhat mysterious, so they don't really know
Starting point is 00:45:36 what's causing it, but some people can hear it. Some people claim they can hear it. It's probably, you know, you see something and you just visualize what that would sound like in your head. Yeah, that makes it a lusory, a lusory. Yeah, I was really hoping when we were. in Northern Ireland that we would have been able to see the Northern Lights, because that's the furthest north we've been on a trip. And people have said that from up there, from the coast up there,
Starting point is 00:46:06 you can see the Northern Lights on occasion. Sometimes. But not always, yeah. Not always, no. I mean, it's not, you know, it's, they're not always turned on those Northern lights. You got to wait until they're turned on. Yeah, that's right. Someone may have gotten, you get there at the wrong time. That's right. Exactly. The way I see it is if anyone could hear it, my wife could, because she has super hearing and now it makes me want to take her there and see if she can hear them. But you know, in Carter's in the chat, she can confirm this.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Kim can hear everything. Every little pin drop. Kim hears it. And smell, by the way, she has super smell as well. She can smell a dog turd 50 miles away. She can tell that something in this furnace room is, wrong because of a smell that no one else can smell but her. It's weird,
Starting point is 00:46:53 her senses. That's amazing. According to NPR, like there's an NPR article from July 10, thank you, TV Zegon. People, let's see, researchers from Finland's Alto University say they've confirmed that the northern lights do make noises that can
Starting point is 00:47:11 be heard down on the ground. Oh, so done deal. But it's another Finnish study, right? So we have competing Finnish studies. Yeah, the fins are running around, you know, well, floating around. Make up your mind, Finland. What is it? Can we hear it?
Starting point is 00:47:24 Can we not? Yeah. I'm sorry, they're floating around with their translucent bodies. That's right. Exactly. I would be so distracted. They'd get up on their podium to tell me about their hot new study. And they start saying, borka, borka, dinkadonka.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And I go, uh, a little heart beating. I just see their heart beating through their chest like a baby fish the whole time. I can't pay attention to that. Would people, would people be as excited about the northern lights if they sounded like screaming, just like constant screaming. Get us out of here. We got to go. Why? I can hear it.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah, we move out of our house up in the north every winter for a couple months, just because of the screaming northern lights. Yeah, that would suck. Oh, that would really suck. Nobody would live anywhere near there. All right. Final story. That's a quick one. A British Columbia woman wakes up to a hole in her roof.
Starting point is 00:48:20 There's a hole in her roof. And a space rock on her pillow. Oh. Yeah, she almost got hit right in the noggin there. I don't remember going to bed with this space rock. Lake Louise, there was like a whole meteor thing happening there. I don't know where this is. Lake Louise somewhere.
Starting point is 00:48:40 British Columbia. Oh, yeah, Bruce. We already know that part. That wasn't before Christ. She's that old. She's a B.C. woman. Yeah, she's not a cave woman. She's a B.C. woman.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Anyway, there was this meteor thing flying over there. So a whole bunch of people saw. It was like a big fireball up there. And that happens a lot. But long time, golden resident Ruth Hamilton, not Golden, Colorado. However, we're as fast asleep. But then I blame it on the beer.
Starting point is 00:49:07 No. Well, maybe. I blame it on the Coors. At least she was, was asleep until roughly she was awoken by the sound a crash through her ceiling and the sensation of debris on her face. Face debris! I jumped up and turned on the light.
Starting point is 00:49:22 I couldn't figure out what the heck was happening, eh? She said, because she's Canadian, see? Yeah, but you're in muting my mic because I'm pouring coffee. Oh, yeah, porn coffee, got it. There we go. Okay, coffee poured, I unmuted my mic. Brian's into porn coffee. Do you guys all hear that?
Starting point is 00:49:36 Porn coffee. Porn coffee. She said she took a look around to get her bearings and spotted the rock sitting neatly in her pillow next to where her head usually. She called 911, I'm sure of what to make of the projectile. Police arrived on the scene, and after establishing the rock was not there as a result of an ongoing construction or in the kicking horse canyon, they settled on the only explanation that a meteorite had come through her roof. It's pretty crazy. That is crazy.
Starting point is 00:50:02 It's a decent size, like the photo. Yeah, how would this beef? It could have just gone right through her skull. Yeah. If it went through a roof, it would have hurt at least. Let's see, there it is. Yeah, that's a big piece. That's a big chunk.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Wow. And the fact that it had to have been hot, it didn't catch fire, like burn her pillow or anything. Yeah, that's just gnarly. Yeah. Are you sure that's not just tightly packed urine from an airplane flying over that has to melt now? Right. Now you got to burn it to get rid of it. I'll tell you what, I hope they let her keep it.
Starting point is 00:50:40 That's kind of rad. it is yeah a you survived it B it's cool it's from space you have a space rock she's earned it really yeah you don't get to take that away at the very least chip off a chunk for or something let her let her keep that damn thing all right
Starting point is 00:50:54 all right it's gonna do it for the news we're gonna take a break when we come back we'll spend a little time with Bill and of course Stephen Schlecker is here he's in the chat right now in fact hanging out we will see what's going on with both those guys after this song break from Brian Ibitt
Starting point is 00:51:09 sure and we're gonna smooth into some or slide into some smooth California pop. Matt Costa has just released his album or re-released his album, Yellowcoat. It actually came out in 2020, but he's actually got a new, longer, deluxe version of the album. And it's got five new recordings of his songs, including this one right here with some special guests. This is a song called When the Avalanche Comes, featuring Jack Johnson and Zach Gill. This is great. This will slide you right into some smooth.
Starting point is 00:51:41 smooth pop for your Monday like a nice relaxing let's get that that day started kind of music here is When the Avalanche comes by Matt Costa featuring Jack Johnson and Zach Gill Who is it that walks all along I'm on the ancient

Starting point is 00:55:29 When the avalanche comes. You've reached the voicemail of Scott, a normal man with an incredible story. The House of Johnson pays a chair and two chickens. You're writing checks with the year 2011 That your body can't cash in 2012 This is the morning stream And we're back everybody That song once again was
Starting point is 00:56:13 Yep, that's Matt Costa And the song's called When the Avalanche Comes Nice Yeah, never sure somebody didn't come over and just throw a rock in her house just thought of that what if it's like a kid well but what through the roof like how do you get how do you fire that thing with enough power to put a hole in the roof no that's a good point you'd have to have to have you'd have to be strong man McGee to get that you would have to be strong man McGee or or drop it from a high
Starting point is 00:56:39 place or put some velocity on that thing I agree you don't you're not you're not Superman you know super not Superman I don't know I don't know what I I didn't think of that song, but you did. I did, because it's, you know, that's what I do. That's what you do. All right, punishprops.com incoming, represented by one Bill Duran. It's going to talk about, you know, the world of making stuff because that's what you guys are interested in at home. You want to make things.
Starting point is 00:57:05 So here. Your bat caves open there, Bill. All the way from Punish Props.com. It's Bill Duran, everybody. Welcome to the show. Hello, good morning. Good morning. Good morning to you.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Hope your Monday is all it could be and more. So far so good. That's fantastic. It looks a little gray out. We're in the gray season in Seattle now. Yeah, the gray season. So it's just going to be gray from now until about 20, 25. Right, I was going to say, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Yeah, it'll be gray for a bit. When do you come out of this gray period? Sure. We had so much rain yesterday over the weekend, and it was awesome because it cleared all the remaining crappy smoke out of the sky that we were still getting from parts of Oregon and California. and it was the most glorious big sky white cloud mountains crystal clear weekend i've ever seen it was amazing i just loved it i took a bunch of pictures and uh shared them up on stuff people want to see them but just absolutely gorgeous uh in the salt lake valley for for for the weekend so take that anyone else who had a shitty weekend hey uh so bill let's get into it
Starting point is 00:58:15 uh you're all about the making and the making things and the and the cosplay and the and the freaking, you know, making cool replicas and all that. So today, you're joined us to do more of that. What's going on? What are you making right now? Well, there is a new Ghostbusters movie coming out very soon. Yeah, there is. In fact, apparently at New York Comic-Con, if you went to the Ghostbusters panel,
Starting point is 00:58:39 they just straight up showed them the movie. Oh, really? Oh, that's awesome. Just, wow. What's the release of this thing? The cast was there? Oh, soon. Very soon.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Can't find the name. It's November? Oh, is it in October? Yeah. Oh, really? Wow. All right. You got to get it out before Halloween, right?
Starting point is 00:58:58 I would think so. That's a good point. I mean, it's already been delayed. Okay. November 19th. We have a little over a month. Never mind. We have time.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Cool, cool, cool. Very nice. So it's out. It is out before Halloween 2022. There we go. Yeah. Nice. So anyway, hype is absolutely piqued for this thing.
Starting point is 00:59:19 very excited about it. And the new movie, from what we've seen from trailers and everything, has lots of props, lots of new props, and updated versions of old props that I'm very excited about. Things like the ghost trap I've seen, the ghost trap with some fun modifications on it. The Acto One looks really, really cool with, again, they've added more functions to it, which I'm very excited about. And, of course, the Proton Pack. Classic Proton Pack.
Starting point is 00:59:47 I'm sure we'll see lots of that in the new movie. The trailer or the IMD listing has always been interesting because it says that Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Sigourney Weaver are in this movie, but you, I just did the worst Ernie Hudson thing that everyone complains about people doing to Ernie Hudson. I didn't remember him at the end and then added him in as like an afterthought and that's exactly what the series is always done. Gosh, dang it. Anyway, the point is they're named in here in the credits. Now that kind of. could be as vancman as you know uh rayman as ray you see even in the trailer you see youtube like they're watching a youtube video of the old ghostbusters commercial yeah but then there's that thing at the end right you do hear a voice yeah yeah and made the let's just say it made me want to go buy groceries let's just say that that's a fun hint no one'll get
Starting point is 01:00:43 maybe anyway i got i'm so excited about this movie i'm uh i don't i don't even know why i've probably over, I'm probably too excited because it's not going, there's no way this going to live up to whatever, but maybe it will. I hear the reviews are saying that it's got a lot of heart, that's got a lot of fan service and a lot of heart, but, um, and Paul Rudd, so. And Paul Rudd. And Paul Rudd. And Carrie Coon with blonde hair, almost unrecognizable Carrie Coon. Yeah, and that Finn, Finn Wolf-Hard. What's his name? Flo, Flohr. Finn Wolf-Hard. Finn Wolf-Hard. Who doesn't want that stick with hair?
Starting point is 01:01:16 Anyway, Bill, sorry, I derailed you. There's a lot. That's fine. Yeah, the point is Ghostbusters, and you're thinking a lot about those props. Absolutely. So over on our buddy, the Tested gang, they just put out a video where Adam put together a prototype pack. He had a lot of help. Ben Eadie was there. He is a prop guy who worked on the movie.
Starting point is 01:01:38 And in fact, on Tess's channel, you'll see they have a handful of videos covering the movie because they got the visit the set when they were filming. Which is so cool. Yeah, that is cool. Oh, there's, here it is. Oh, man, these videos look so nice. Right. Yeah. They do it.
Starting point is 01:01:55 So that video, I have a little insider knowledge because I showed up to work at tested a couple of years ago. And all of this stuff, all this proton pack stuff was filling the shop. So this was filmed a couple of years ago, pre-pandemic. Oh, wow. And now the movies coming out, they're covering it, which is really cool. Yeah. A lot of Adam's parts for his proton pack were casts from original parts. So the main body of the proton pack was casting, I believe, with some lineage to the original proton pack.
Starting point is 01:02:31 He stuffed it full of electronics, which is really fun. And he used a lot of metal parts, like real metal pieces on it, which really help add to that authenticity. I want one back. Yeah, proton packs are so cool. cool. I made one a couple years ago. And I love mine. Adams is very cool.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Mine isn't quite as legitimate as Adams. But mine is still awesome. It's still a video. You don't quite have the budget that Adam does. No, or the resources, let's say. Right. Right. So anyway, my proton pack, instead of having castings from
Starting point is 01:03:11 mold that has lineage to the original, mine was made from vacuum-formed forms that were made by a fan instead of castings from a mold and I have lots of plastic resin cast parts on mine for example there's these two wacky valves that proton packs have and you can buy them I look them up you can still buy these valves are like 40 or 50 bucks a piece and I need two of them but instead of spending $100 to make my my valves more legit. We have resin castings of those same valves on my proton pack. It looks almost just as good. It's just not quite as legit. Sure. So just as an example. However, there are a lot of other parts on my
Starting point is 01:03:59 pack that I could replace with legitimate metal parts that aren't really expensive. So that's what we did. So we have a video over on our channel, over at, uh, uh, sorry, punish props.com. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot the year old on my website for a moment. Yeah, yeah. Uh, we just put out a new video today where I go through my proton pack and update some of the parts, especially the plastic screwheads. A lot of the resin cast parts on my, uh, proton pack, they cast the screwheads right in there so that, uh, you don't have to add your own afterwards. it's really quick and easy. However, I replace them with metal ones, real metal ones.
Starting point is 01:04:44 The real metal hardware is so cool because it just looks and feels better than even the best paint job. The metal can be painted and sanded and scratched to make it look really old and it's really easy to do that. So that's what we did. We went through and picked out anywhere that still had a plastic shrewhead on it. Would you have any trouble getting something like this into a con? You know, with the metal and stuff?
Starting point is 01:05:10 Is that ever an issue? I don't know if they would stop you. Probably not. A proton pack, I've never seen anyone have trouble getting in with that. Metal blades are, tend to be the metal that people worry the most about. And they should. But yeah, putting metal screws on your proton pack, people haven't really. No one's made us think about that, as far as I know.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it seems like it's probably heavier, right? you're going to right so you do have to have i guess consider that like if you're going to be on a on a con floor for six seven hours with this heavier metal backpack thing at least you know at least know that going in definitely yeah mine my prototype pack probably weighs 20 pounds maybe
Starting point is 01:05:54 doesn't sound like too much until like hour seven right right right yeah that's where you're really appreciating that vacuform definitely absolutely and i added like you know, 20 screws, you know, maybe an ounce or two more of weight. Shouldn't be too bad. So what we did basically is just I'd pick a screw head. And for most of them, I could use my drill and just a drill bit to remove the screw head. Just drill it until it's gone.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Yeah. And then I'd have to drill a smaller hole for the shank of my real screw. So I went and found a, I have thousands, tens of thousands of screws. I don't know. I have a lot of screws. Yeah. Tell me, do you guys have a bucket in your garage or like a peanut butter? Oh, yeah. That's just full of every screw that you own.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Yeah. Random sort of screws. We kind of keep those in the bottom of the big red toolbox. We lift up the top part that's got all the tools we use all the time and just throw them down there and say, let God sort it out. Yeah. Ours is a big green open bucket with like a handle on it. And it just sits in the garage and it's full of screws.
Starting point is 01:07:04 And the problem is they're not uniform. So, yeah. Oh, yeah. You'll never find exactly the right size. No, no, no, no, no. It feels impossible, but. However, if you want to add screws to a prop and make it look really cool, that's a good, those are good candidates. They don't need to be functional. They don't have to actually hold stuff together. They just need to look neat. Sure. So I went through all of my screws and found a bunch of different screwheads that looked like they fit the part that looked kind of neat, and I swapped a whole bunch of them out. Nice. Now, if you don't have a proton pack, but you want to try this out, There's a bunch of fun projects you could do. So, for example, you could buy a resin cast of a prop off the internet and then put real screws on it. Or you could 3D print something and either remove the screws and add your own or some props that you print don't have the screw holes in them. So, for example, my Blade Runner gun and my Vashis Stampede gun, I sell those 3D print files on my website. People can download and print them and then add real screws to them, which is really fun. sure uh but if you want to just give this a shot and you have a nerf gun or a toy gun kicking
Starting point is 01:08:10 around or any sort of prop thing that has like fake screw heads on it then all you need to really is a drill some scrap screws and uh you can swap a whole bunch of them out to make them feel more legit nice i think this looks really really cool i am i am desirous for more uh i actually kind just want to watch ghost ghost busters be honest i know right me too yeah nothing wrong with that Not the second one. I hate that movie, but the first one I love. Oh,
Starting point is 01:08:37 yeah, yeah. Why am I droppings with goo? I hate that second movie. It's not a good movie. That's so bad. It has moments, right?
Starting point is 01:08:47 Everything is. It has its moments, and it's elevated just by the fact that it's got Ackroyd and Hudson and... Hey, look at you giving Hudson
Starting point is 01:08:56 a second billing. That's good. I'm making up for earlier. I like it. All right. That video, course, Of course, the YouTube channel as well, which is where I'm looking at it.
Starting point is 01:09:07 And that's awesome. Bill, any bonus-y-linky things this week? Certainly, yes. Our friends over at the Modern Rogue have been cooking up some tomfoolery. They made what they're claiming is the world's smallest potato gun. It's a very tiny little gun, and they use it to shoot French fries. It's pretty adorable. It's only mildly dangerous.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Me and my friends had a big potato gun that we built. I was, I don't know, high school age. And, man, we could have made the coolest YouTube video if this was, if we could just switch eras. Yeah, it would have been amazing because that thing was great and it was dangerous. Yes, very, real full-sized potato guns. Well, the modern road guys built one and a couple of years ago I flew down there. We made a ballistics gel head out of Jason with a plastic skull in it. And then we shot it in the eye with a potato gun.
Starting point is 01:10:00 And it destroyed the eye socket. Oh, my gosh. So, yeah, potato guns, no joke. This tiny one, though, should be pretty safe. Look at that. Oh, man, it is super tiny. What are we using for propellant? Just compressed air, it's all.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Okay, all right. Yeah, no explosions, just compressed air. Wow. Well, fantastic. Go check that out, Modern Roker course, on YouTube. And, Bill, it's always a pleasure talking to you. I hope you have a really great week. You betcha.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Bye now. Oh, speaking of things I forgot. Canadian Thanksgiving today. Happy Thanksgiving, Canada. Today? Yeah, isn't it? Enjoy your turkey, eh? I think it is.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Hold on. Canadian Thanksgiving. Indigenous People's Day. It is. Oh, yeah. Canada Thanksgiving. Oh, yeah, it is. It's today.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Okay, good. I'm not jumping the gun. Yeah, I hope you guys do whatever you do. I don't know what you do. What do they do? What do they do? Well, they, I think they, They eat like the rest of us.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Do they? Do they? Like turkey and they do all that? Yeah. I think everything's covered with gravy and wash down with Moulson. Okay. All right. They eat food.
Starting point is 01:11:19 They eat food. Canadian Thanksgiving has a hole in it. That's right. They do. All right. Now. I'm curious, actually, what the different, like if they have different dishes and stuff. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Let's see. Turkey, stuffing, sauces, sides. It looks pretty... Pretty much the same. Thanksgiving. Okay. I had no idea. Oh, my God. Look at these Hasselback potatoes. Oh, Hasselback. Husted butternut, squash, and cheddar, graltine. He hasn't done anything cool since Knight Rider.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Hasselback. I bet you were going to go to the view or to Fox News or something. No. He's David Hasselback. Just such a great, great action hero of my youth. All right, let's play this. Stephen Schlecker. Stephen Schlecker. Hey, look who it is from Hayes, Kansas.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Major spoiler zone, Stephen Schlecker. Good morning. Good morning, Scott. Good morning, Brian. Good morning. Nice to hear your voice. How's things at the school? You doing good?
Starting point is 01:12:22 Everything all right? Yeah, almost midterm. This is the last week before midterm. Didn't you have, somebody spoke or did a thing, a remote thing? with you recently and it turned out real good and I can't remember who told me they did it with you crap oh I've had Justin come in and do stuff I've had you do stuff um let's see Tom Merritt has come in a couple of times there's somebody recently like a recent thing probably not oh I know I usually do it in the spring okay well I was that was always fun so I look forward to maybe doing more

I've done, I've done podcast before. I could do a podcast. Yeah. Yeah, this is just coming into the class and talking about being an entrepreneur and all that stuff. So, oh, phone call. Is this an important one? Yeah, sorry. Is it from the Dean? It's not from the Dean. It's one of those. No, it's one of those. Your car insurance is expiring. Get your extended warranty today. Oh, so they're bullshit is what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, all right, then. It's good to have you here, Stephen. Let's get into it.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Oh, I wanted to tell you right off the bat. This is a fun experience. A little comic brush with fame I had yesterday. Reading or had read the first issue, which is all that's out right now, of the comicsology original. Although I read it on the Kindle app under Prime Reading. So Amazon needs to freaking get cohesive. I don't know what they're doing. But anyway.
Starting point is 01:13:52 Well, they've merged. They've merged your comicsology account with your Amazon account. Yeah, which is fine. So now everything's you can read everywhere. It's fine. It's just confusing because it says it's a comics ology original on the book, but it's listed under Prime Reading, which is not connected to Kindle Unlimited. Like, it's all over the place.
Starting point is 01:14:14 It's so weird. Anyway, I'm reading that. It's called We Have Demons, a brand new independent that he worked on with him and Greg Capulow. So the dream team is back working together. And I downloaded it and started reading it and really enjoying it. I was only just barely into it, but I just put out a tweet and said, Scott Snyder, Greg Capulow, loving this, or, you know, I can't wait to dive into this series, very excited about it, whatever.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Just nothing, nothing, any big deal. I get a DM from Scott Snyder saying, hey, I saw your tweet. I just really wanted to wish you, you know, best of luck with the comic and hope you really enjoy it and let me know how you feel about it when you're done. It was so cool. It was nice. Yeah. He was a nice guy reaching out, you know.
Starting point is 01:15:00 It was cool. To do that. Yeah? Uh-oh, what are you going to tell me? He's going to send nudes next? What's going on? No. It's just the start.
Starting point is 01:15:09 By the way, I just save 10%. I'll send you an email. Oh, you need to do that. Please do. Because he did that and then followed me. Now, am I on some kind of list now? What happened? Did it something bad happen?
Starting point is 01:15:22 No, not necessarily. I'll just, I'll send you an email. Okay. All right. Oh, my God. I want to know what's going to be hilarious. I don't know what to expect here. But anyway, um,
Starting point is 01:15:31 I really liked the comic. I thought it was very cool. It goes a whole bunch of weird ways, and it's nice and bloody, and, you know, it's an indie. Please forward this comic to 10 friends, or they will die. Yeah. I posted in the chat. We've actually got a review of that comic up on the Meteor Spoilers website. So if anybody wants to click on that, they can go and see what our thoughts are.
Starting point is 01:15:53 Yeah, what you guys think here? 80%'s pretty good. That's a solid review. Yeah, yeah. All right. Go read that. You guys get some detail on it. I quite liked it.
Starting point is 01:16:01 Of course, I was like Capulow's work anyway, so it's a no-brainer for me to read it, but now I'm super curious about your email, so please send me your email. All right, let's get to the stuff that you sent to us. DC Fandome, this weekend. That's right. NYCC, New York Comic-Con was last week. How'd that go? Anything big from that? You know, I didn't hear a lot of big things.
Starting point is 01:16:24 Now, I think Image had a panel or two there. Saga, for those of you who are saga fans, returns in jam. January. Also, what was the other thing from Image Comics? Oh, Kurt Busick is taking all of his stuff, which was previously at DC Comics, and it's all going to Image also beginning in January. Oh, really? Wow. Yeah. So New Astor City, all that stuff is coming. Is that getting pulled from, um, I don't be pulled from the app. I should read that stuff quick. More than likely, yeah. And then it'll show up. I mean, it's still going to be up on comicsology, but it's not going to be through DC anymore. I'll tell you what. If Image had a, all you can eat, 10 buck a month sub, I do it right now. Like, why don't,
Starting point is 01:17:06 why does an image have this? Please do this. Probably, probably because it's more creator-owned stuff over an image. That's mainly what they do. So it's a lot harder
Starting point is 01:17:15 or would be a lot harder to distribute that residuals or earnings to, to those creators. Yeah, you're probably right, but I don't know, find a way is what I'm saying,
Starting point is 01:17:25 because that would be cool. Anyway, all right, so that was that, but instead, Let's talk about DC Fandome. Anything you're expecting, like any big blowout? Man, if people, so here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Last year, DC Fandome was larger than anyone expected it to be as far as views, something like 65 million views over the course of the weekend. It was well produced. It was better than any Hall Age presentation that you could ever go to. I suspect you are going to see the Flash movie stuff come up, Flash TV stuff come up. I suspect you might even see some clips from that, including, you know, the much talked about what's his face who did Batman most recently
Starting point is 01:18:06 is supposed to pop up in this Flash movie and has said he's... Yeah, Ben Affleck, yeah, yeah, in the Flash movie and he said that he's had a much better time on that than he did on the other films. So he may show up on that. I suspect we're going to see our first look of Shazam. We've already seen
Starting point is 01:18:22 our first look of Peacemaker, the TV series, so that'll pop up anything that's... Wait, wait, Shazam. What do you mean? First look of the sequel? The because we've had our first look at Shazam and the Shazam movie. You mean like a... Yeah, like the new Shazam coming up and Black Adam as well. Oh, the new movies, right, right.
Starting point is 01:18:43 That makes sense. Okay. Cool. Yeah, cool. So we'll get all that. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I suspect all of that.
Starting point is 01:18:48 And the TV show stuff announcements will be made as well. And so this will be a big thing. They'll also have some comic book stuff there as well, but most of it's going to be focused on their media properties. Do you think we'll get in that in that, in that, Vane, do you think we get a extended preview slash trailer teaser or something for the new Batman or no? For the patents? Oh, yes. Most definitely, yes.
Starting point is 01:19:09 Okay. All right. I really want to get into that. Like, I want that out. How delayed are we on that? It's like a year. It would have been out about a year ago. No.
Starting point is 01:19:18 On the original plan, wasn't it? No. I think it was supposed to come out this year. Oh, all right. So that's a delay. Okay. Well, I'm legit excited about seeing how Pattinson does. Given the acting work he's done since Twilight, the dude's got chops.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Especially if you've seen him in Lighthouse. Yeah, dude, Lighthouse. Oh, he's great. Oh, my gosh. What's he doing in there? Forgive that vampire crap. Yeah. You know what's funny?
Starting point is 01:19:47 You've got to break in somewhere, right? My daughters are so funny. They were talking last night about, I'm not going to say this exactly right, because I don't remember the wording, but they were talking about how everybody used to be either Team Jacob or Team. What was his name? Oh, yeah, Rupricked or whatever. Jacob or Arthur or John or Jim Job what's his name
Starting point is 01:20:05 what did he play I know I'm trying to remember the we're old Team Edward Edward oh Edward was Pattinson yeah so it was either Team Edward or team whatever and now they're all team the dad the what's her name's dad because like apparently he was like he's like dead handsome's mustache looking dude and now all the girls who grew up with Twilight really like the dad anyway it's pretty funny That is funny.
Starting point is 01:20:32 So, okay, so maybe some patents and Batman. Shit, that almost fell off. Sorry. I think we're going to see so much come out this weekend. Cool. And I think that, honestly, if this goes as big as it did last year, I honestly don't think you're going to see DC, or I should say Warner Brothers slash Discovery Networks
Starting point is 01:20:50 shelling out any big money for them to do a big media presentation at any Comic-Con ever again. Okay. Wow. All right. I mean, why pay millions of dollars to get celebrities to show up at a con when you can do something that's going to get a heck of a lot more views and a heck of a lot more attention on a live stream.
Starting point is 01:21:06 The games industry is going through a very similar probability at the moment. And I think you're probably right in the long term. I think that there's going to be pressure to try to, you know, glory day it and get it back to whatever it was or, you know, by whatever definition people have. But you're, I think you're just right about the economics of it. Not, you know, forget about the pandemic for a second. And what the pandemic has made people do is sit down and actually look at numbers and go, well, we're sure getting hitting a lot more eyeballs this way. And it's costing us a third of what it used to.
Starting point is 01:21:40 And like you can't, those economics, I just don't think you can deny those. I don't know the number of flights. I would be very interested to see the number of flights that go in and out of San Diego on the big Saturday and Sunday events. But each one of those, if they're doing a private flight for these celebrities, that's $20,000 a pop minimum. Easy, yeah. Just from Los Angeles to San Diego. Yeah. And so you're spending millions upon millions of dollars to get these celebrities flown in from around the world for one day, maybe a little bit of signing.
Starting point is 01:22:11 And then you have to fly them back out and hope that that's not slowing down production on whatever that they're working on. Yeah. So doing something like this where it's all kind of staged, very little live stuff, where they can craft the message is so much better. Yeah, it's better for me. I like it more. I like it with the games more. I enjoy E3 more when it's less stupid stage stuff
Starting point is 01:22:32 where everything goes wrong and feels cheesy and dumb and instead it's just like get to the meat of the stuff let's see what you got I don't know I know there's arguments for all of it but all right some comics to watch for coming up the fire I see fire power by Kirkman and Sammy or Samney
Starting point is 01:22:49 tell me about this I didn't even heard of it so if you are a fan of like Shaw Brothers Kung Fu movies type stuff they have been Kirkman and Samney have been doing this series called Fire Power about a guy who had all this power to shoot fire
Starting point is 01:23:04 basically out of his hands he kind of turned his back on everything and now the bad guys are coming after him and his family years later and so he has to he I thought I was out but they're dragging me back in and so if you like all the kung fu stuff Kirkman and Samney have really hit hit it out of the park with this
Starting point is 01:23:22 the issue 16 just came out last week so there's still plenty of time to get caught up this is a super fast read most of the previous issues are a buck 99 now totally worth it and for those of you that have been missing kirkman since his walking dead and his uh invincible stuff i think this is is right up there with invincible it doesn't have all the humor and stuff but uh as that invincible did but this is this is good solid fun comic books yeah i really liked his his demon one uh what was that called uh i have no idea shit they made a tv show too is it but it's on a channel nobody had um
Starting point is 01:23:58 free form or something. Yeah, it was like something like that. It was like a channel loan watches. Outcast, yeah, do you ever read any of the Outcast? Oh, yeah. No, I haven't. It's in my pile to read. They were great.
Starting point is 01:24:09 I mean, it's a specific subgenre of demons, you know, like it's like this new Scott Snyder thing, but I really liked it. It was all possession and all that kind of stuff. It was fun. Yeah, I didn't even know this existed. I don't know how this missed my radar. I love Kirkman's writing.
Starting point is 01:24:27 So, yeah, definitely. definitely go check it out, Scott. I think you'll, I think the first three issues might even be at a super reduced cost. So you'll want to go check that out as well. All right. I'm in. I'll get, I'll do this. And let's see which app I get it from.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Will it be Comixology? Will it be Kindle Unlimited? Or will it be whatever prime reading is? Who knows? It won't matter. It's all Amazon. All right, fine. Then also Mark Miller's King of Spies coming in December.
Starting point is 01:24:54 I've heard this mention, but what do we know about it? Yeah, so this is a series at NetFle. Mark Miller, for many people may know, sold his, basically his stuff to Netflix, all of the Miller World stuff to Netflix a couple of years ago, and they've made a couple of shows out of his stuff. The newest one is the, we just said, King of Spies, but there's also going to be a comic book adaptation, and that will arrive in December. So if you've been Jonesing for some Mark Miller written stuff, he's got a new comic coming out in December. Any connection with this with this to Kingsman? No, I do not. I do not believe that it is.
Starting point is 01:25:33 That is totally Miller. I forgot about that. Yeah. And they've got a new thing, right? An origin story? The Kingsman. I've been watching previews for this thing in theaters for about two years now and just want the damn thing to come out. This is the new Jackass movie.
Starting point is 01:25:48 Tina cannot wait for Jackass to come out so she can stop seeing that damn trailer for Jackass Forever. I'm excited for Jackass Forever. I am, too, but I really don't want to see that preview. I don't want Tina to see that preview anymore because it's always the same thing. When does this movie come out already? When is that out, actually? I don't know. That's a good question.
Starting point is 01:26:11 I wonder if there's a time we can find a date. Well, all right, then. Good times, good stuff. Stephen, anything else happening around major spoilers? People at home might want to listen to or check out. You know, we talked about the saga stuff. We've talked about the Kurt Bucic stuff. We'll be talking more about that this week on the major spoilers podcast.
Starting point is 01:26:30 So people can go check that out. It'll be up on the major spoilers website or in podcast feeds everywhere come Wednesday morning. That sounds fantastic. I'm also going to drink a lot of water because you would tell me what. What would you tell me? I would definitely say, Scott, stay hydrated and watch Loki. Oh, fine. Maybe finish Captain America Winter Soldier.
Starting point is 01:26:49 February 4th is when Jackass Forever comes out. So guess what? Yeah. When we go all of our winter Oscar watch viewing, well, probably the Oscar movies aren't going to be. The MPA is probably not going to have. They're not going. That is not going to happen. But I take your point.
Starting point is 01:27:08 I take your point. But I'm sure it'll be before Eternals and it'll be before, you know, any of the other things far from home. Yeah. Hey, chat, look at this. You want a, you want a SpongeBob or Ninja Turtles version of the series X? These are coming out. Look at that. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:27:25 How cool. How perfect is SpongeBob as a... He's already squared. It's perfect. Look at him. Just see him on there. The Ninja Turtle's more of a stretch. You just have to be kind of artsy about it.
Starting point is 01:27:36 But you can literally make SpongeBob into your Series X. Oh, I want those. I don't really, but I do. But I don't really. But I do. All right, Brian. What else? That's it.
Starting point is 01:27:50 No, no. We have a mashup. No, we got a mess. Mashup. Marsup. Yeah, we got a mashup. This one has a name. They all do.
Starting point is 01:27:55 It's called a false name. That is the name of mashup, yeah. How can we trust that name then? I don't know. I feel weird about it. But I'm going to hit play, and we're going to see what it is. Enjoy. It's your poop now.
Starting point is 01:28:06 I thought it was more of it. Oh, it's your poop now. I emphasize the wrong word. It's your poop now. It's just like Doc Brown at the end of Back to the Future. Marty, it's your poop now. Oh, shit. Too easy.
Starting point is 01:28:30 Wow, those would be the Pipes of Bag. Rhymes with Fun. Break, break on nine, I'm heading to Rimes with Fun. It's literally Rhymes with Fun or this word rhyme. Yeah, the place description is called, quote, Rimes with Fun. I have no idea. What would rhymes with fun? I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:28:47 Jake Grubbard has it. It is Regina, Saskatchewan. Really? Yes. Oh, my gosh. Your muscles down there can only handle about seven inches before everything just shreds. And so... Y'all have way more butthole knowledge than I do.
Starting point is 01:29:01 I feel... But that doesn't make sense. Rhymes with fun. Yeah? It doesn't rhyme with fun. No. But it rhymes with something fun. Yeah, but that's effed up.
Starting point is 01:29:09 You should say, I'm heading over to rhymes with something fun. That's what they should say. Well, I can say rhymes with a vagina. A receptionist who was with him said she saw King pulling at her vagina. Oh. Pulling at it. You're not supposed to pull at it. I don't know how those things work, but...
Starting point is 01:29:25 You guys and your magical equipment. We don't know how it works. Do you pull at it? So what do you think that is? I've got one of those. It's an organ. Okay. Brian's got an organ.
Starting point is 01:29:35 Here, I'm going to try trumpet ball without my eyes closed. Okay, all right. T-R-U-M-P-U-T. Trumpet. Oh, so close. Didn't I get it? T-R-U-M-P-U-T. P-E-T.
Starting point is 01:29:47 A trompute. Tromput. Did you play the trumpet in high school? The trumpet. What? I said something while she was doing it, and I think it freaked her out because it was loud. And I held it up to Tina. I said, check it out. It looks like a duck's penis. And she says, no, it does. And I said, yeah, that's what a duck's penis looks like. It looks like a spiral like. What are you some kind of duck penis expert?
Starting point is 01:30:03 Yeah, I apparently am. And she says, really? Well, what do duck vaginas look like? And I said, I said, a nice bottle of peanut noir. There you go. She was charged with burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and giving a false name. I wonder what name she used. Petunia Pullintwant. Send your emails to Brian, not me. I'll take those emails. It's totally.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Oh, my gosh. Look at all those show titles right there. Oh, my Lord. That's just insane. That one, that bit. That's funny. So much of that, that mashup came from just that one story. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. That whole, that we went far and long. And our titles that day, that's all it was.
Starting point is 01:30:57 Yeah, it was all Petunia pull into it. Yeah, that was it. And that was a bad day. It was a dark day. It was a dark day for TMS and Jeeps. Yeah, and Jeeps. There's no good for Jeeps. All right, we're done with the show. We had a great time and we have more of it this week. So all week, you'll get TMS and, of course, a PM on the weekend.
