Nice and light. I'm reading all this mercury stuff. I'm scared to get sushi. I can't eat sushi. How about some Italian? Want to get some pasta? I don't like to have hot food for lunch. What about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

I don't want bread. I don't have bread. Like a plate with peanut butter and jelly just on a plate? With a fork. Well, what do you get so stressed out about this for? I can't decide. It's lunch. I'm gonna make it mine.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Get it? The morning stream. Now gluten-free. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's Wednesday, October 13th, 2021. I'm Scott, and that's Brian.

Hi, Brian. Hello, Scott. How are you? Good morning. I'm fine. I didn't sleep great. I had weird dreams. I think. I think they were dreams. They may have been real. I don't know. Here, I'll explain. Let me explain. Because this is pretty weird. Let's see how weird they get and then we'll decide whether it was a dream or not. All right. So I was so, I was either so tired that I ignored it and did so at my own peril. I don't know. Or it was a dream. But I was sure at about 2.30 in the morning, 3 maybe. that I heard a car crash like a bam

just like against a tree or a wall or something you know I was sure that I heard it but I was so tired it sounded like a Hollywood crash as opposed to like when cars really

like hit in real life it sounds like popcorn being made yeah it's it that's a good question see again at 233 I don't know if I'm even like in the right state of mind

to even discern it so I heard it trust anything that happens after 2 a.m. No, nothing good happens after 2. So I laid there thinking, well, did I just hear a car crash? Should I be rushing outside to see if somebody's like, you know, wrapped around a tree or something? And I just couldn't be bothered. I just had to keep playing there.

So I feel kind of guilty, even though it may have been pure dream. Because Kim hears everything and she didn't hear it. So I think it may have just been in my mind. Then that's probably a good sign. Because we were talking yesterday about how Kim's hearing, she's got like super hearing. Yeah. So even, and is she a light sleeper or a sound sleeper? Depends on when you, when you check in. Like when we're like late summer, fall, weather where it's nice out and you can have windows.

It sounds like I'm playing to break in. So, your wife, light sleeper or sound sleeper? I don't know. I feel like I'm getting chased. Which windows do you typically leave open in the summertime? Yeah, getting cased here. But yeah, she, she, if it's, if there's a lot of little fiddly noises, she can't sleep. if it's like the sound of, I don't know, Seinfeld trailing off in the distance, she can sleep. For some reason, a TV show that's just sort of on helps her go to bed. So it's all very weird.

But she can hear everything and she can smell everything and she can see everything. She has great, great senses. All her senses are good. She doesn't see dead people, so no sixth sense. But anyway, I hear this sound and I just thought, well, should I bolt up and go outside? isn't the nice right thing for me to do is to see if there was okay if it really was something yeah and i couldn't get myself out of bed so i'm either either i'm terrible and i didn't respond or it was a dream also by by the way i looked out around this morning and there's nothing there

so i think it had to have been a dream no debris no nothing yeah i'd say and we would have seen lights yeah well you would have heard noises of like tow trucks hauling a bashed up car away and uh yeah um ambulance or something if there was somebody hurt something like that that had to be a had to be a dream that's what i was thinking so i feel a little better about it but because of the you know because it felt so real i just have some guilt about it i just feel like i you know dream sometimes it should just be dream guilt then can you can you make it dream guilt dream guilt coming soon to theaters this fall dream guilt yeah exactly the hot new bloom house production dream guilt I keep hearing that we should be

subscribing to Shudder because Shudder's like amazing right now and they're really Yeah, like your creep show is really good Uh There's some movies on there right now that are like not Well I imagine yeah the Halloween stuff Like all the all the

The loading that they do of that channel It's like Hallmark Channel In November and December Shutter does their business in October probably Somebody on Twitter was saying they have like Some originals outside of Creep show that are really good that no one knows about and this sort of stuff. I don't know.

I like scary, but I don't know if I want to pay for it, you know. I think I subscribed to Shutter for like a film sack movie we were watching. I want to say it was that Christmas slasher movie last year? Oh. The Santa Slay or whatever it was called. Right. God, I don't remember that. The name.

I remember the one you're talking about. Yeah, anyway, I think I subscribed to Shutter for that. And then I forgot to turn it off for like six months and just recently turned it off. after paying for it and never watching a damn thing on there. And so the last thing I want to do is turn it back on for... Yeah, you don't want to... I'm trying to think of a service where I've done that. I think the worst egregious version of it is where I would not play wow for like six months.

And then forget to turn that off or pause it. And then I pay 15 bucks on it. Right now is the first time since I signed up during Burning Crusade, that I don't have a wow subscription going. Same. I don't have an active subscription right now. It's crazy. I don't know what's going to, you know,

if it's a new expansion that's going to get me back or if I'm just done or what the deal is. But I'm worried that when I do decide to get back into play, I'm not going to remember how anything works, any of the plug-ins or any of the controls or my, you know, the keyboard I have set up with little lights and stuff to light up the things I need to do. I don't know. It's like riding a bike, you never know. But also 12 years is a long time in one game, you know?

It is a long time. It is a long time, yeah. Yeah, 14 for me or whatever it's been. But, yeah, I don't want that thing in there burning money without me knowing it. That would suck. Yeah. That's 15 bucks I can use. Exactly.

For shutter. Yeah, for shutter.com. Which I guess shutter's only like, what, like seven or eight bucks? It's not even that much. Yeah, no, it's cheap. I think I might do it just for Halloween, you know? like just crank out all the horrid stuff I can think of and put off. Yeah, it's not like, because you're, there's nothing else really that you've got.

No, there's no cue. There's no series that you've started and not finished. No, no, no movies I've committed to that I haven't watched. Just, uh, it was a movie. Oh, did you finish Saints of Newark? Yeah, I did. It's good. Okay, good. At least you finished that.

I did. I totally finished that. And I still recommend it. That was my recommendal last week. And the thing I watched this week for today's recommendals, I totally watched. Oh, cool. But you make a fair point.

It's funny. We watched what I thought was the last episode of the season of Ted Lassau last night. And I'm like, oh, my God, what a way to leave it. And then, because I thought, oh, there are only 11 episodes this season. I don't know why I thought that. I don't know why I thought there were only 11 episodes because I think I had had it written down, you know, when we could start watching it to be able to binge and not have to wait for episodes. Yeah. And I had that completely miscalculated because then it said, watch episode, or season two, episode 12 now.

I'm like, oh, thank goodness, we're going to get some resolution. Yeah. Well, first season only had, what if we had the first season? 10? 10, I think. 10 in the first, yeah, first season was 10? Yeah, it was originally called 10 Lassow. That was what they're going to call it.

But my understanding is somebody who told me this, Carter maybe, she's in the chat so she can deny this or confirm it. I can't remember who told me this, but they were supposed to have, they did 10 because that's what they did first season. And then very last minute, Apple's TV executive people that they have running that Apple TV Plus stuff came and said, we need two more. And so that's where the Christmas episode and the the weird coach beard thing came from is those two were those two were not not afterthoughts, but they were add-ons and they had to, you know, quickly jam it. together and figure out what to do and I think quite well I like them both I really like that coach beard episode it totally reminded and you you pointed out some great stuff online it's like oh didn't even get the uh what's the word the symbolism in the episode I thought it was just like all right this is a great episode just focusing on coach beard and a beer fueled night of craziness

that is that reminded me of uh um after our Griffin Dunn, Scorsese, I think. Scorsese, yeah, old Scorsese movie. Old Scorsese comedy. I feel like that's the Scorsese movie that no one's seen, but those who have know it's him. But it's like no one knows that's him doing that movie. It's kind of like how, what's the Ridley Scott movie that he did

that no one ever thinks of as a Ridley Scott movie? Oh, Thelman Louise, no one ever goes. Oh, yeah, the Ridley Scott classic. No one thinks that. Or, uh, the straight story. Oh, yeah, the straight story from, uh, uh, that Lynch, yeah. Man, I love that movie.

So good. It's weird. It's rated G. He's waiting for, uh, for a shemmy to show up and shoot somebody, and he never does. Never does. Never does. I love, so I say, you know, I haven't watched episode 12. And I'm not going to name any names, uh, names that start out going forward and then

backwards, uh, like a, like a, uh, uh, yeah. Palindrome. Yeah. But somebody in the chat room says, yeah, I took issue with this random storyline, blah, blah, blah. And then they jump in head in time

and da, da, da, da, it's like, is that an episode 12? And this person says, well, if episode 12 was last episode, then yes. I'm like, okay, that's the episode I just said. I didn't watch.

Oh, yeah. Brian hasn't seen it yet. No spoilers. No spoilers. Yeah, we even either. We're up to that exact same point. We're at the last episode. So we've got to watch that.

That's like something that Mysterio would, do or or uh or uh or uh the kingpin or yep and there were by the way in that coach beard episode uh there's the keys there's a bunch of other symbolism in that thing and if you want to go nuts there's like reddit reddit holes you can go down where people just go crazy with the theories and stuff but i don't know we had an we had an interesting time with that episode to say the least it was an odd deal and i liked it so yeah more weird things it's fun with me. All right. Also, we got some snow. Not here at the house. We got ice at the house. Everything that was wet overnight is frozen now. It's 32 degrees outside. Fahrenheit for those.

Not familiar. And the mountain got a bunch of snow. So I guess that's it. I guess we're here. That's us too. Yeah. No, it's funny. We're watching the news this morning. And it's like, well, if you're going into the high country, you're going to want to have chains on and stuff like that. I'm like, okay, I guess we're, I guess this is going to be here before too long. Crazy neighbor was out there yesterday covering up his plants. He's got a huge garden. Impressive, impressive garden with lots of peppers and tomatoes and eggplant and lettuce and radishes and all sorts of stuff. And we get, every once in a while, we get some of his, we're not going to be able to eat all this.

You want some of this? We're like, yeah. Yeah. But he was out there, you know, we're not out there helping him. We reap the rewards, but we don't say, well, can we help you cover things up and prepare for the frost? Sure. Does he grow any weed? I see everybody in the chat room asking that, you too.

No, no need to. It's legal there. We get anywhere we want. That's right. Dispensary is everywhere. That's right. Yeah, plus I don't know how well that grows outside in Colorado. I think you need to have a greenhouse to really do well.

I don't know. I wonder about that. Like certain climates probably are less conducive to a good crop of weed. I would assume. I don't know. No, that's cool. That sounds like he's got the green thumb, which I do not have. Yeah. I can't grow shit. I've tried. No, I had that arrow garden in the house that, which was great. And it, you know, chunked out a bunch of tomatoes and jalapenos. And that thing just grew out of control. So we finally. moved it. We killed everything and emptied it out, washed it out, and we've currently got it in the garage for the next time we feel like we want to grow something. Sure. It's like a dog. You just, you grieve and then you put it down and then you... Well, okay, yeah. You move on to your next garden. That's how you... Yeah, but a dog doesn't produce tomatoes or jalapenos is the problem. If they did, you have a little... Cats would be in some real trouble. Oh, man. Imagine a dog that could produce... fresh produce. Yeah. Think of that.

We would have all our problems solved. It'd be amazing. What breed would do it. It'd have to be a bigger. Oh, no, it would be great because you have the little dogs who produce little cherry tomatoes, and then the big dogs are producing like the heirlooms. Oh, yeah. Okay.

No, that makes sense. Yeah. Great big squash coming off. A little ghost peppers out of a chihuahua. Sure. That's the only stereotyped possibility is that the chihuahua would make those small chile peppers. Huh. Interesting. Oh, Bezos Bent Bill's Flight Pin. What? What's going on? I'm, we're getting... Bezos bent Bill's flight pin. Are you just trying to get us to do tongue twisters?

Yeah, I don't know what's going on there, Merrick. But I guess, I guess there's some probably post-flight interviews going on with Shatner. He finished his flight this morning. And his 11 minutes in space. It was amazing. It's Captain's Log. I made love to the spaceship. it was shorter than I thought He makes love to the mountain Someone sabotaged the ship I've been sabotaged All right Well anyway

There's all that good fun How about some more good fun Yes How about Dunaway Some of my favorite parts of Wednesday Yeah I like this part If I can get it to work

There's now a visible nudity in Seinfeld now that it's 16 by 9. Yeah. Wow, that is just such a small bit of extra aspect ratio. Aspect. Aspect. Aspect ratio. Side. She was coming from another way, maybe. Oh, well. It's just a side note, if you know what we're saying. Side note. Well, anyway, it's good to have you here. We're going to take a. call and see if we can't sucker somebody into trying to win some prizes here. Let's find out

who's on the phone right now. Good morning. Who is this? Oh, hi. Can you hear me? Yeah, who's this? Yes. Hi, this is Lisa. El Fleming 221 in the chat. Hello, L. Fleming 221 in the chat. How are you? Good. Oh, fantastic. I'm glad. I'm glad you called. You're going to be part of our goofball game today. Brian will explain it. Yeah, and we'll let Brian explain it and tell us. We'll you what you could win, Brian. Well, first off, Lisa, where are you from? Duluth, New South. Duluth.

Cool. That's great. Season 2 of Fargo had a really great Duluth moment. Anyway, continue, Brian. All right, anyway. All right. Anyway, it's time to play the tadpooly few, and I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us.

And it's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers that they can guess. Lisa, from Duluth, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian and if your team wins, you're going to get a prize package that includes a couple of Steam games, courtesy, courtesy of Wesley. Curtesly.

Curtis Lee. Sure. Roki, Roki. And Narita Boy. Oh, Narita Boy is fantastic. I love the game. Really good. Yeah. That's an awesome game. Cool. Yeah. I think Brian's the one that introduced me to that game. Donaway did. Yes, I did. It's really good.

Nice. Anyway. All right. You guys need a topic, don't you? This is another one that somebody recommended, and I pulled from the previous survey into this survey, or previous recommendations into this survey. So, put your hands on your buzzers and get ready

for this. 375 people survey, Tedpoolers surveyed with their top ten answers to this. What is your favorite 80s cartoon? Scott. I may have an advantage. No, I shouldn't have

advantage. Well, I have an advantage against That's me? Come on, man. The amount of time, the amount of lag that you would hear is the same as I was here because Brian, it's Brian saying it. Now that I think about it, I have no way to manage. You know, Brian, you can always buzz in a little bit early because I'll probably still finish the question in the lag time that it takes for. I know. All right. Favorite 80s cartoon.

All right. Give it a little time to think. Sorry. Favorite 80s cartoon. Let's go with Voltron. Voltron. Show me Voltron. Number eight on the board. There's seven answers that'll beat it. Brian.

I'm going to go with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Show me Teenage Mutual Ninja Turtles. Oh, wow. Number two on the board. I thought it was early 90s. I must have that wrong. In late 80s, early 90s was the turtles. But if I know the Tadpool.

Yeah. Keep in mind. It's not, never assume these are factual. Just assume that these are answers that the Tadpool gave us. All right. Fair enough. That means that Brian and Lisa are in charge and large here. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So, Brian and Lisa, you guys have control. Lots of answers still on the board. Which guys got? Yes. How are you feeling about this topic? Lisa, are you a big 80s cartoon fanatic? Love it. Gen X. Oh, good. Gen X are years.

Gen X is in the house. That's the correct. All right. You want to give me one or you want me to pull one from my hat? You know, go for it, man. I am going to go with Transformers I hear those are robots in disguise

They are Sometimes they are yeah Yeah All right Show me Or Eater or Transformers Number one answer Yes

But that's not a good thing I wanted something low Yeah That's right That I'm going to go the other direction I'm going to give it How's about Lisa

What do you think about the smurfs, little blue smurfs, maybe be a little bit on the board, but still there. I was literally going to say smirfs. Oh, nice. Nice. How about Papa and all the baby smirps? All right. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, show me the smurfs.

Number nine. Ooh, a nice high pointer there. That is. Yes, that's what I was wanting. You were going for high points, and you got high points. Right. High points. High points.

Now, Scott said Voltron, but immediately I was thinking, a thunder, thunder. A Thundercats, ho. I thought you were going to start going into some Imagine Dragons. All right, show me Thundercats. Yeah, well done. Number three on the board. That's too high. I think that's exactly where it should be. About third. That's too high. I was hoping that would be lower. Lisa, what do you, what do you think

now? What do you got in that G. X. Brain. What was that? Uh, G.I. Joe? I don't know. G.I. Joe's a great one. That was also on my list of ones to listen. Yes. Yeah. Came home from school every day.

Go, Joe. Came home from school every day and watched it at three. It was great. That wasn't a Saturday morning or that was like a... That was an afternoon thing for me. I never saw a single episode of it. It wasn't, if I wasn't clear. Yo, show me number.

Show me G.I. Joe. Can you give that away. Number four. Oh, good. show me G.I. Show me G.I. Joe show. Now I'm starting to get a little worry because I know a whole bunch more that I, you know, how about we, hmm. I mean, everybody's still talking about. Everybody's still talking about the he man. Yeah, but it's definitely he man.

Yeah. I'm surprised it hasn't been higher. It's got to be on there. But, uh, he man, I have the power. Show me. I think we have found the wheelhouse. I think we've established. I think we've established that I own the subreddit for 70s cartoons, and I don't own the 80s just because somebody already had it.

I didn't know that. How active is your subreditor? So are you constantly like booting articles that talk about shows introduced in 80 or after? Get out here with that crap. Yeah, what's wrong with you, people? So hold on. How active is your subreddit? I want this.

The 70s cartoon, not as active as I like it to be. It's pretty slow. Apparently, people who were watching cartoons in the 70s weren't big rediters. So, what about people who bring up things like HR Puff and stuff and the Kroft superstars? Do you say, nope, this is just cartoons only? I'm totally down with that. The 70s was a beautiful. weird time, and I'm always down with any of the other stuff.

Of course, the 80s is as well. It's all good. One of my favorite Ted Lassow, like, quick jokes was, well, I'm just going to have to call HR. All right, well, you tell Mr. Puffin' stuff, I said hi. That's a joke that only somebody over 40 would get. And that was funny, because I heard that joke, got it. And then when he reminded me that only if you're, you've got to be 40 or older to get it,

I went, oh, my gosh, you're right. No one knows who H.N.R. Nobody knows what H.R. Puff and stuff is. Yeah. I love that, though. There's a couple of them I'm worried about, because I know the tadpool is pretty diverse between jazz. So fast and loose with the rules, but... Yeah, that too.

They're pretty... And, you know, I would be in big trouble if I didn't mention my significant others' favorite cartoon from that time is going to be the Care Bears. Yep, Care Bears. Oh, Care Bears. We seem to have an agreement, yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right.

I hope it's not on there. That's her favorite. Holy cow. All right. Show me care bears. Oh, I was a little worried about that. I was a little worried. Care bears?

I didn't want to hand that over to Scott because Scott's just as good at 80s cartoons as I am. 25th on the list, Care Bears. All right. Well, I know what my daughter wants me to say, but I don't think we'd get lucky with the one that her and I like. So we're going to hold off on that for a moment. and we're going to put we're definitely in the 80s here I just want to make sure I don't screw up

and carry into the 90s Once again Tadpool rules Tadpool does not always equal accurate All right With that knowledge I'm overthinking it You're overthinking it man

I am overthinking it Where was Thundercats 3? Okay Shit Thunder Thunder shit let's do Brave Star

Oh interesting That was a brave answer Yeah Very good All right Show me Brave Star Damn it

That's more of a 70s Kind of damn right It's not It's 80s But I mean if anyone Would know Brian It's gonna be the owner

of the Reddit Right I think people feel it Even though it's not true Brave Star surprisingly Not even a mention in the list I would think it would get two or three votes and nothing.

Blame. Y'all are wrong. That shows great. It's good. Oh, of course it's great. Yeah. Now, I'm going to revisit, if you weren't watching the Care Bears

during the 80s, surely you were watching the Rainbow Bright. Are we rainbow bright people? Do you think, Lisa? I don't know if the Tadpole is, but it's definitely up there in the event. Right. I can go Rainbow Bright.

Rainbow Bright. We've even got a rainbow bright in the chat room. We do. We gave us, send us excellent representations of ourselves. That's right, little puppets. All right. Show us rainbow bright.

Oh. I'm kind of surprised, actually. I'm starting to feel the tadpools a little manly over there. Maybe more manly than I care for. Let's see. Rainbow bright. Not, again, not on the list. I'm really surprised.

I'm really surprised by that because that isn't just an inaccurate. That's not just, that's not an inaccurate thing. That's just lazy on their part. All right. Super Friends was technically 70s, but they did have a run in the 80s, but I don't think anyone cared about them because they were kind of really bad by then. Oh, geez. Why is this getting harder?

Did I slurped? Did I just slurbed my coffee? I love it. It's all right. I love it when you do that because it's like... I'm seriously trying to stop doing the... It brings an attitude to the show. It's like, you're not even listening.

Like, drink my... Slurping my coffee, don't care. Yeah, it's like, I don't care. I mean, only way it could sound like you didn't care more is if you were eating an apple. Oh, no, I care. That mesophonia or misophasey or whatever it's called with the sound bothering. Yeah. If you have been diagnosed with mesophiliaoma, that guy?

What is up with people that did? What is the Apple representation in movies and TV is like, if you want to, at like you've got something to do but you just don't give a shit you just eat an apple and you walk around okay have you ever seen api bio i have not yet so on my list that is a there is a every episode sight gag dealing with that exact thing oh that's great i'm already interested in that show now i really want to see it yeah all right i'm the apple side gag gotcha yeah that's the one that's the one that's the one that put me over the top all right I'm going to assume a bunch of people in the tadpool forgot that this was 90s and put it in 80s, given that the movies are in the 80s.

So I'm going to say, the real Ghostbusters, because I know that's pocket. Oh, that's a really good one. Yeah, and it's on people's minds right now. Yeah. I hope this is on there. Gosh, dang. Let's look. Real ghost.

Show me the real, the real, the real Ghostbusters. Damn it. Oh, my God. That took a long time. I don't think Brian did it. I think Brian did it. It just took longer. Exactly. It clicked it.

It took a while. I would have taken, so Ghostbusters slash Real Ghostbusters. I know they're two different shows because they're two different IPs. But some people would put Ghostbusters, and I wasn't sure if they meant the original or the new. Number 14 on the list, Ghostbusters. Oh, that would have been a good one. Yeah. And are we sure, I swear 90s, but maybe it was earlier.

All right. whatever right i just i'm gonna stop thinking about dates leases wants to steer me in a different direction i'm gonna go with the most manly of cartoons thundar thundar the barbarian thunder the barbarian thundar the barbarian and his pal the rock thing ucla yes uh i love those characters and the the schmooze wouldn't the schmooze in there too oh yeah the smoos They did it, they did a little extra show in the schmooze? I'm not sure. Yeah, yeah.

Anyway, all right. Thundar, the Barbarian. That's the final strike. So, Scott, if I get it. People thought that was 70s because it's not. You think it's 70s because it has that aesthetic, but it's the early, early 80s. You don't think of it was the Herculoids. Herculoids.

Now, that was 70s. That was the same, that was 70s. But that also had that, that's the one that had the shmuse, the smooth in there. They're both Hannah-Barbara, and they looked like. There was a very. similar look to those ukla and then the big rock dude had kind of a similar look now if i get 10th here yeah well no you'd need so let's see you're down by 16 points so if you get 10 and 6 10 and 10 and 6 ties 10 and 7 wins 6 and 7 you need you need you need you need 10 i have to have 10 no matter

what you need answer number 10 and uh 10 and one of the one of the guys you're still in it scott you're still in it. I like this. I mean, I was figuring out what the, what the, um,

the ways you can win. This is good. Strategies with this. This is some strategyry. Strategry. Uh, the, oh, by the way,

did I mention Thundar was, uh, it was on the list number 16. Oh, it was. Okay. And that was definitely 70s, right?

So, here's my Thundar people. Yeah, these people don't care nothing about no decades. Um, all right, let's do, uh,

well, let's go with, 80s. I'm telling you, thundar was the 80s, man. Thundar was 70s, are you sure? You can think that, and I said that.

Disney shit, Ducktails. I think that's in the title. Show me Ducktails. Oh, 1687. Number six. Oh, my God. if you can hit that number 10, man. Then you tie things up.

You need 10 and 7 to win. Okay. You need to run the board to win. Let's do. You could do it. Let's go. The X-Men series. Oh, yeah.

I used to love that. All right. Show me. I'm still crying over Jean-Cray. Ah! Square in the 90s. It's even called... It wasn't called the 90s.

It wasn't called that the 90s. X-Men. That's the 90s, yeah. Let's see, though, did that, even though, that was in the 90s. Right. How about some snorkees? No one mentioned X-Men? X-Men, yeah.

All right. They're worth watching. How about the bouncy bears? What do you think about that? I don't know what the hell that is. Gummy, gummy bears. What should do we throw it everywhere? Why do you call them bouncy bears?

Because they're, because they're, because they're gummy. Oh, my God. Did you watch any cartoons? other than I only watch I only watch cool boy cartoons not the freak

at what point do you think my 14, 15, 16 year old self would ever sit down and watch Care Bear or with your sister's If the cartoon characters had eyelashes

I didn't watch it That's weird How about shirt tails then? No, they had eyebrows Remember shirt tails? No eyebrows are okay

eyelashes are out If they have eyelashes What is shirt tails Hair bears had eyelashes Yeah shirt tails were kind of like the care bears that live in a tree and they had their own shirts. They had their own shirts.

With a little happy. We're just watching the homeless people outside or something? You know what? You remember this? I found it. And on Wikipedia just now, you're right. It exists. I've never heard of this.

Look at their funny little car ideal. I am a cartoon wasteland. And they have their own shirts. Oh, yeah, look. They have eyelashes, though. Yeah, they have eyelashes. 82 and 83. I was going to say, I was going to say Heathcliff and friends, but that kind of kept

spinning through the 80s even though it started during the 70s. Why don't I just tell you the answers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Apologies. Uh, number seven, show me. Uh-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. I would have guessed that that was in 90s, but...

Definitely 80s. Uh, and finally, number 10. Dungeons and Dragons. Oh, of course I should have said. Of course Dungeons and Dragons. Yeah, especially tad for. Some of the the rest of the top answers here, Scooby do or pup named Scooby-Doo.

There was in the 80s. Yeah, it was in the 80s. Gummy bears, as you mentioned, the Simpsons came in right at the mainland. That's true. You know, kind of a different way of thinking than the rest of these. Robotech, Chippendales, rescue Rangers,

Garfield and Friends. Go bots. Gem and the holograms. Had a couple people mentioned that one. That's outrageous. Muppet babies. Shee-Raw, Princess of Power, Starblazers, Super Friends.

Let's see. Danger Mouse. Oh, Starbazers. That was John K. started out on that. Yeah. Danger Mouse? Yeah. Danger Mouse. Yeah.

Cool. Spider-Man is Amazing Friends. Batman the animated series. I think that was later. Battle of the planets. Count Ducula, gargoyles. Heathcliff, was there. Mr. T.

Cartoon. I used to watch that. Mr. T. was great. I mean, it wasn't as good as the cereal, but it was all right. It was all right. Yeah. Rendon Stimby, I thought for sure, was 90s, but two people said that one.

Oh, that's 100% 90s. They got that wrong. Yeah. Snorke, Silverhawk, Speed Racer, Turboteen. What about masks? I said mask. Did you say gargoyles? I did say gargoyles. Because that's definitely 90s.

Yeah, 90s is hell. That thing. Yep. In fact, what was the old Batman the A Mani series? Totally 90s. Absolutely 90s. Bruce Tim one. Let's see.

Frankenstein Jr. in the Impossibles. I don't remember that one. What the hell? Jace and the Wheel. Warriors Oh, yeah. Wait a minute. Frankenstein Jr.?

Is Frankenstein Jr.? That sounds terrible. Yeah. All right. Yet somebody named it as their favorite 80s cartoon. Wow. I didn't discover a speed buggy until the 80s,

but I think that was a 70s cartoon. Oh, yeah. What about where it was Captain Cave, man? No mention of Captain Caveman. That was 70s. That was 70s, really? Oh, by the way. Okay.

For the record, Frankenstein Jr. The Impossibles, 166 through 67 yeah yeah that was a lot of recycling we also had Jetsons a couple people said and uh none of that is ages man you guys you guys I guess they were all showing reruns so you could say oh the bucks bunny and roadrunner hour or whatever it could be on there but it's all all cartoons from the 40s all right uh well we did it and that means that we have a winner yeah Lisa you won here winner winner chicken dinner how do you feel How do you feel about your big win?

Super awesome. Oh, that's great. Let me know what you think of that, Naruto boy. Yeah, that game's great. It really is good. And all you got to do to claim this stuff is send Brian an email coverville at gmail.com,

and he will hook you up and congratulations. Yay. Brian, once again, you help somebody walk away a winner. How does that make you feel? How do you feel? It makes me feel pretty good. I love today's topic, like I said. I was worried because I'm like,

oh, if I hand this back to Scott, he's going to run the board. Didn't we a couple years, or probably more than that, maybe five, six, seven years ago? You and I talked about doing an entire show dedicated, like, old cartoon. Dude, I could go on and on. And if we cross that over with some cereal history. Oh, what a way to do that, right? Get some, like, get some count chocula and watch an 80s cartoon.

That could be a really fun show. We could do a seasonal show and it would be like eight episodes of the season. Digging really deep into the Kellogg family and all that bullshit. It'd be great. Yeah. I'll have to think about this. We could talk about the satanic panic and how it affected cartoons and it would be so much fun. Yeah, it would be a lot of fun. All right.

Well, we'll workshop it everybody. We'll let you know how that goes. We did a boop show yesterday. That was fun. Lots of games talked about. So check that out. This weekend we got Film Sack where we watch. We changed it up and it's, uh, oh, oh, right.

This past Monday, I was guest on cord killers, killing them chords. What's happened on the streaming? Tom Eric, Brian Brushwood, and Bryce, all wonderful people. Yeah. I had a good time. I heard you guys talk about that.

And I wore my Halloween wig and they didn't call me out on it. It was amazing. They probably thought that must be his real hair. They haven't seen me in so long. I thought, this is the perfect opportunity. Yeah, so it works. Did you wear it the whole time? Did you wear it the whole time, Brian?

Do you wear it the whole time? I played into it. I never said anything and just pretended like it was all groovy. What? It's hilarious. I'm going to clarify something because we're going to get emails. Sherry Moon Zombie is Rob Zombie's wife, not daughter. I was thinking it was the Kevin Smith situation,

but it's more like the Tom Hanks situation. Oh, yeah. You put your wife into your movies. I like that it's a situation. I do like that. Yes. Brian Dunaway and kiss our butts.

We'll see you later by now. All right. There goes Brian. And now here we go into some late breaking news. Time for the news. Brought to you by. Brought to you by Raisin Brand Crunch. You know, a one-cup bowl of Raisin Brand Crunch is about 312 calories, so enjoy that.

Wow. And top it with some almond milk. I don't know how I, how would I know any of that business? I don't know. That's impressive. Thanks, Noom. Yeah. Are you doing the almond milk?

Do you like the almond milk? I do like the almond milk better, but Tina likes the almond milk better. So, you know. I definitely like. Can we just please get almond milk? It's not as, it's not as. Thick is the oat milk. Oh, that's too bad.

Oat milk is very good. It's my favorite. Of the fake milks made from other things, it's my favorite. Right. Mine too. Yeah. All right. Police in the news.

We got some police in the news. Sting and Andy Summers and... All those guys. Yeah, okay. Tantric sex and Dune and all that. No, the police actual law enforcement find accused leg thief with all. leg, said leg, strapped to his head.

Methinks were missing things in the headlock. Yeah, that's where you keep your leg, right? Kevin, or Kevion, kevion, hooks. Kevion. That sounds like a big company that's just destroying rivers. Sounds like a bottled water company. Yeah. Kevion, the freshest water. Let's see.

Was arrested on an armed robbery charge in which he took a prosthetic leg from a victim. So that's the leg in question. Did the Tulsa tell him to get that leg? No, but now that you say it, he should have. According to the Tulsa Police Department, the victim stated that hooks came up to him with a large metal spike. What's a hell of a weapon? Jeez. A large metal spike.

It went like a road, like a railroad spike or a... I don't know. It doesn't say. I want to know more about the spike. Like what... Yeah, you're bearing... Wouldn't it just be like a shank? I guess if it's not a thin blade, it's not enough. knife. Right. And if it's a spike, a proper spike, then you'd say like railroad spike or...

Yeah, right. Exactly. Something else. Spike. It's just like a metal cone, a sharp metal cone. It says, let's see, took the victim's backpack and also took the victim's leg. Hux even asked the victim the worth the worth. He's a thief and he's antiques road show. All in a lot. That's right. He wants to know he's going to get it and how he's going to get paid. When Hux was... When he was apprehended, they found him with the victim's leg strapped to his head, of all things. Police say they took the leg off of his head and gave it back to the victim. You'd think you just put it in the backpack.

He's got a... That's what I'm saying. He stole a backpack. He's got a method of storage for the leg. Right. And strapping anything... Oh, the dogs are going off. Hold on. Oh. Who set off the dogs.

It's probably some... It's just some... Oh, I hear the dogs. I thought it was a doorbell, but that's what I'm here. The dogs. If there's any kind of siren of any kind, this is how they sing for about an hour now. Who set the dogs off? Cops, cops, cops, cops, cops. Anyway, there's that story. We're skipping this William Shatner one because it already happened. He's gone.

Right. It's done. Yeah. And they're done that. It was delayed, but then only a day. and now he's here. Yeah, it's funny. When I heard it was delayed, I thought, all right, so it's going to be like next week. No, just a day and he went up, he came back.

Less time I did take to run over to the CVS and get some kevion, bottled water. Yeah. Oh, it's so refreshing with Kevion brand. It is. It's not just your average tap water. They really do something with it. It comes from Mountain Springs, that kebion. That's what I hear.

Here's a fun one. After his family members contracted COVID-19, Ozzy Osbourne. You know Ozzy Osbourne. Oh, yeah, yeah. He says worshipping Satan protected him from the virus. Now, I don't know about you guys, but when we grew up in the 80s, it was always rumored that Ozzy Osbourne worship Satan. But we all laughed it off going, ah, parents don't know what they're talking about.

I think he just confirmed our parents weren't lying the whole time. Ozzy Osbourne worship Satan. Do you think it's just him joking? And maybe I'm being deft by asking that question when it's clear he's joking. I don't know. It feels like he's, you know, like something he says to the press. Oh, yeah, Satan protected me from catching COVID. Well, let's find out.

Ozzy Osbourne is thanking Lucifer himself for protecting her from the coronavirus. The Grammy Award winning heavy metal icon credited Satan for covering him during the pandemic. Even his close family members contracted the disease. My wife had the virus. My daughter had the virus. I never got it. He told Metalhammer. Being a devil worshipper does.

have its good points, he says. So, yeah, he's probably... There we go. Being a devil worshiper does have its good points. He's probably just dinking around. Black Sabbath's front man, long-time spouse, Sharon Stone. Why do they... Black Sabbath's not together anymore. What do you... Well, that's a dumb line. Right? I'm more curious about the fact that that you see Sharon Osborne, but you say Sharon Stone. Oh, did I say Sharon Stone? You said Sharon Stone. If we're going to, if we're going to question that last sentence, I'm going to wonder why the basic instinct star is the spouse.

Yeah, good point. You can deal with the fact they didn't put former Black Sabbath front man. But the fact that Sharon Stone is possibly married to him. I don't know where that came from. It just came out. Anyway, she passed tested positive for the deadly virus, which has claimed the lives in 700,000 U.S. citizens to date. the 69-year-old Emmy Award winner posted.

Okay, hold on a minute. Yeah. She's 69 or he's 69? She's 69. He's like... How old? Oh, he's 72. 72, yeah.

So if he's only 72, 20 years ago, was he... Was he 52 when they were doing the Osborne show? He must have been. Yeah, yeah. We all thought he was 100 then. Because he sounds like... He's lived a hard life.

eating bats and snorting ants and it just takes its toll on you. I guess. Oh, he wasn't the one. Who was the one the snorted ants? Was it, Oz or was it? That was a Iron Maiden? Motley crew guy, wasn't it? Mottley Cruz snorted ants.

Yeah, I don't remember which one, though. All of them, maybe. I don't know. Which of the crew did it? Yeah, which of the crew? It was the motley crew. I was like to think Mick Mars did all the weird stuff because he was so creepy, but he probably is the most normal of all of them.

Yeah, no, no, let's blame it on Tommy Lee. Yeah, Tommy Lee deserves all the credit. I guess that dude, all he does now is bonsai trees. It's all he does. His wife has a TikTok, and on that TikTok channel, it's just him out sitting in, like, in the yard with a table putting a bonsai tree together. What's great as it rhymes? Tommy Lee's bonzai trees.

Yeah, he should have a company and sell the trees. I agree with that. Oh, Claire says it was Nikki Sixth that snorted the ends. Oh, okay. Well, that's fine. But Mick Mars had that great look that made it look like he was Satan himself, you know? Yeah, right. But then he never had any big controversies, I don't think.

I think he was just all pretty chill for him. Yeah. Although, didn't he have a cancer scare? He may have. I don't remember. I'm sure he did. Ugliest man in rock and roll, that guy. Just an ugly, ugly man.

Who would you give it to? Let's do the awards for ugliest man. Ugliest man in rock and roll. Yeah, no women, just men, and who's the ugliest of all of them? Is it Mick Jagger? Is it Keith Richards? Mick Jagger's up there. I feel like Bob Geldof.

Oh, yeah, he's really ugly. Slash is ugly only when you pull the hair away. When you keep the hair down his face and the hat on, he's fine. Iggy Pop. Oh, Shane McGowan. Oh, yeah? Yeah, Iggy Pop is up there, Shane McGowan. Yeah.

Rod Stewart looks fine. I wouldn't put him on the list, Luke. He's up there. It looks like the late great Glenn Headley. Oh, yeah, a little bit. Lyle Lovett, sure. Oh, a little Stephen Van Zant. Yeah, all the Ramones are ugly.

All the Ramones, especially Joey. Yeah, Joey's really ugly. Kenny G., come on now. Lyle Lovett has a weird, yeah. He's just got a weird, unique look to him. I don't know if I'd say. I worked with a woman in that place, the newspaper sales software company. Our salesperson, Amy, dated Lall Lovett.

before he was with uh julia roberts nice what's he doing now what's up at that guy now uh he's got a during the pandemic he had a um a video like a a show that he would put on you pay buy tickets kind of like what um stephen page from bare naked ladies was doing a few few people were doing this and he had Elvis Costello on and we paid and watched uh watched him interview Elvis Costello and it was great Cool. Yeah. It's nice to see he's got stuff like that going on. Yeah. Someone in the chat said, let's see, that the story

is not true. No, no, no. I-Core says the aunt's story is fake and was just from that dirt movie. Oh, really? No, it was way earlier than the dirt movie. That thing, that's been... I feel like I knew this rumor when I was in high school. If it's been an urban legend, it's been an urban legend longer than dirt.

Yeah, I feel like I've known about this a lot longer than that, because that movie came out like, what, two, three years ago was all? Yeah, we're going to be actually watching that for soundography coming up this next month, November. Nice. That's excellent news. We're going to take a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt, I believe he'll be here to talk about tech stuff.

And then I hope Nicole, after that, for some recommendals, stick around. Brian, let's play a song in the meantime. Yeah, we're going to a solo artist by the name of Sam Fender. I hear this, and I hear a little bit of arcade fire, maybe some Kings of League. Leon in it. I totally dig this. He has a brand new album coming out called 17 Going Under, and this is the title track. Here's Sam Fender, 17 going under. Snow videos

Cold September's The distances we covered The fist fights on the beach The busies round us up Do it all again next week An embryonic love The first time that it's scarred Embarrass yourself for someone

Crying like a child And the boy you kicked Tom's head in still bogs me now. That's the thing it lingers. And close you when you die. I was far too scared to hit him, but I would hit him in a heartbeat now. That's the thing with anger It begs to stick around So if you fleece you up your beauty

And leave your spent when out to over Makes you hurt the ones who love you You hurt them like the nothing You hurt them like nothing You've hurt them like the night See, I've spent my teens and rest, spiraling, and silence, and I armed myself with a grin Because I was always the fucking joker

Buried in the humour And looks a white noise And boys, boys Rock the room talking lines Drenched in cheap drinking Snipe bags A mirror picture of my old mind Oh God the kids are damn hard

Kadi Chana but he looks sad Got the kill looks so sad And God, the kid looks so sad. She said the best, the death, death, the day. So I thought about shifting here. And now she wept and wept and wept. Looking down on it See my mother

DWPC in number She cries on the floor with common I'm 17 going under I'm 17 going under 17% Oh Oh 17%

remember Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Yeah

Oh Oh Oh Oh I'm 17-4-1-9 We're going to be able to be. Man, if there's one thing I really like, it's a good podcast, you know? I mean, not just like our show, but like really well put together, cool shows.

Well, I get some good news for you. American Scandal. It's a podcast from Wondery that takes you deep into the heart of America's dark side to look at what drives cutthroat competitors to succeed at any cost. Whether legal or not. The new season, L.A. steals its water. tells this infamous story about how Los Angeles stole its water supply from California's Owens Valley. That's pretty interesting.

William Mulholland, Superintendent of L.A.'s Water Department and Fred Eaton, L.A.'s mayor, set about on an ethically questionable task, you might call it. And they start buying up land from farmers in Owens Valley, not telling them that they're going to be using that land to build an aqueduct and, you know, basically redirect all their water down to Los Angeles. They knew that it was for L.A. to prosper, and they knew they needed more water to make that happen. And the only way they could do it was steal it. It ignited this really ugly war, turned kind of deadly between local farmers and L.A. Big Shots.

Grudges last to this day. Amazing stuff. You're going to want to listen. It's really good. Listen to American Scandal on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or you can just listen a week early. How about that? And add free by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery. App. Listen to American Scandal on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or that Wondery app. I think you might be happy that you did because it's really good. When I first saw the movie Coraline, I can't imagine how in that universe they had button eyes. Yeah, the parents were a little creepy, weren't they? They were.

Why art notes up? For a ghost, you bleed just fine. This is the morning stream. All right, we're back, everybody. Welcome back to the program. That song once again was. Sam Fender, the title track from this brand new album, 17 going under. Sam Fender.

Sam Fender. Not to be confused with Samuel. rear left quarter panel. Right. Or Freddie Fender. No relation to Freddie Fender. Right. Or Bender Fender. Fender Bender. No, I don't know what I'm saying. All right.

We're going to get Tom all up in it and do some tech talk here. Let's see if I can get that going. With the computer as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man, as you know and love, is Tom Merritt. He joins us as he does every Wednesday to talk about the goings on in the tech world. goodness, because who else would? Tom Merritt, welcome back to the show. Hi. Yep, nobody. Nobody else would do it. What am I going to get along? He reads the news that nobody else wants to touch. That's right.

Technology. Right. All the news that's unfit for your eyes. I mean, I'm not going to bring Patrick in here and do his French tech show. Forget it. I need American English, damn it. So DT&S is on the menu. That's just how it's going to work. Nothing wrong with this. Well, gosh, I never felt more patriotic than when you. They like that As I disparage the French people and their language All right Tom's good to have you here

I assume something's brewing out there in tech world What's going on? Yeah A little different take today Next week Everybody should know We're going to get loads of announcements Apple has an announcement

That will likely be new M1 Or maybe it'll be M2 or M3-based MacBooks, probably MacBook Pros We're likely to get new AirPods Might get a few other surprises, we'll see and Google is going to have an announcement about new pixels and maybe some other stuff. And Samsung has a surprise announcement next week. Nobody's quite sure what that will be.

But it seems from the tone of the invitation that it might be around the smart home or services or something like that. I doubt they're going to announce another Samsung phone at this point. But hey, you never know. This week, however, a little lighter in the news. Yesterday we had Stephanie Humphrey on talking about the Tesla lawsuit, racial harassment lawsuit. So that's definitely worth a listen, both on Daily Tech News show yesterday when Steph was on, but also on the Tech John, which is a great show of its own.

And today, I will not be on Daily Tech News show because every so often I have to take a little time out to do research for another show called Know a Little More. this week's know a little more will be about RCS. You may have heard about Google casting some shade on Apple saying, hey, why don't you get RCS in your text messages, in your I message?

Come on, Apple, join the club. And if you're wondering what RCS is, well, I will tell you on Know a Little More this week. But the short version is, it's a standard that lets you do a bunch of things that message apps do already. So you might think they're a standard, but they're not a standard on text messaging.

So anybody who's texted someone on Android and had them drop out of a group chat or texted from an iPhone to Android and they don't get the full picture. They're like, that's a tiny little thing. That's because they're using SMS and RCS would let every text messaging app no matter what operating system it's on do all of those things. Group chats, rich messages and everything. In fact, RCS stands for rich communication service. but Apple has not incorporated RCS into its messages app yet, Android has. They should because from iPhone to iPhone is I would call an RCS-like experience. Like it's very rich content.

But if they're not adhering to a standard where other devices and other operating systems can't join in or they can't join in one way or the other, that seems bad. They should do that. Yeah. I mean, the reason that all that stuff appeared in messages, before was SMS wasn't capable of it. RCS however has been developed for a few years. And yeah, I don't know if it's the Apple predilection to want to keep you on iOS so they want to make it hard for you to message off of the iPhone. There have been some emails leaked in the epic case that implied that maybe that was that was where their heads at because they

didn't want to make a version of messages for Android or whether it's just a cost that they don't feel like is worth bearing that, you know, it wouldn't bring that many more people to the platform. So implementing RCS is not high on the priority list. Could be both. Yeah, it could be a little bit of both. Well, interesting. I, yeah, I'd like to, I'd like when I send, I certain family members, when I send them a, like a tap back, you know, like a thumbs up or something. They get a message that says, Scott really liked your thing. He put a heart on it or whatever. And then they repeat their message again and it's just kind of horrendous. And then also I get weird stuff from Android people that I can't read on the other end. And so it's just annoying. I wish they

would all unify. I understand though. I mean, describes people to WhatsApp and telegram. Yeah, it does, right? Like it makes me kind of want to use WhatsApp more, but I don't know. It's a messaging. The messaging world is a weird world. It's a strange thing. Well, all right, then. And no major outages or hacks this week. Nothing like, you know, tearing the Tech World thing. So far, so good. The week's young. Last week was crazy. You know, that's an interesting question, though, because we generally on Daily Tech News

show do not cover outages. When there's a big outage and everybody's got their hair on fire and they're posting on social media, oh, Instagram's down or whatever, we generally ignore it. And the reason we ignore it is it's usually not a very interesting explanation. It's usually over in an hour or two. and by the time we would cover it and publish it and then someone go to listen, the outage would be old news and people like, well, I ain't talking about that. So the Facebook outage last week and the Twitch hack, because we don't always cover every single data breach, sadly, because there are so many of them, they have to be particularly interesting

for them to cover. So when I say that because when you say there haven't been any outages, I'm like, no, they probably have. They're probably just not newsworthy. Just not big ones that have shocked the foundation of the tech world. the way that the last couple I did. But anyway, there's still time because at 2.30 today, maybe something will break. We don't know, but Rich Drafalino will be sitting in for Tom.

I'll be there. And I think Sarah and Roger and all the usual gang, it'll be great. So tune in and check it out and see what you think, because we're going to have a good time. Tom, there, anything else happening on any of your writing or anything else you're working on right now? Well, yeah, you know, I just want to point out that if you want a deeper explanation of why we cover things, I do something called the editor's desk on Patreon, patreon.com slash DTNS, where every week I will go into something about the show.

Often it's somebody writing in and asking a question, why do you do this, how do you do this? So I've talked about story selection. Last week I went in depth on why we don't cover outages and hacks and things like that. So if that is of interest to you, it's at the associate producer level and above, you get the editor's desk in your own little private feed,

patreon.com slash DTNS. That sounds great. Tom Merritt, everybody. You know, he's East Detect on Twitter. Follow him there. We'll see you later, man. I sure am. I know. Sure am, he says. Sure am.

Sure am. Shram. Shram. Quick note, Nicole's running a little bit late. I told her we'd go ahead and get started with ours and have her jump in when she gets home. Excellent. No worries at all. She's a busy lady about town, you know, stuff going on.

She has things to do, places to go, people to see. All right. Well, on that note. Let's do a little of that. Here we go. We're going to do some recommendals. Yeah, that's right. Stuff we've seen on streaming services that we recommend to you guys at home.

And the tradition stands that Brian begins this little fun fest. So, Brian, you want to explain any of these clips we got here? I will begin. Yes, I've got a series and a movie today. Let's start with the series. This is a mini-series, so not a continuing series. And there you go. All right, here it is.

Well, it's to tell you. Here's number one. Breakfast, seven, lunch, noon, dinner, 7.30, and all of our guests eat together. And how many guests are there? Nine total. It's very intimate. It all look so fabulous. I mean, I already feel better.

I really do. Is this not fantastic? Yeah. And this is our spa. Wow. I mean, you really see engineering like this in a resort. The craftsmanship, the attention to detail, incredible. Hey

Napoleon Gangus Con Patton Oh I get it No Napoleon Marconi That's my name Oh Francis I thought we're doing a military thing

I think I've lost my guide Yeah it's super to me You're here for the 10-day retreat Us 2.0 I certainly am Ah, there you are Thought we had a runner for a second Oh

What is this? A tailored specifically to your metabolic needs so please do not share Also, it has been precisely constructed, so please be sure to drink it all. That is just the best. What is this? That is a show called Nine Perfect Strangers, a mini-series called Nine Perfect Strangers. Tina read the book, and so when this got released as a mini-series or made into a show, she wanted to jump in and watch it.

And I was expecting, all right, it's just going to be this like everybody finds themselves and, and, if, figures out who they are by the end of the series and blah, blah, blah. It's a lot more than that. It's actually really, really good. It stars Nicole Kidman as this Russian woman who's formed this spa treatment facility called Tranquillam House in northern California. But then you kind of find out that this resort isn't what you think it is. and um and there's an important reason that you got to drink your entire smoothie um melissa mccarthy you heard in that in that clip michael shannon you heard in that clip well there you got yeah i'm

already sold michael shannon is great and everything he is great like it is some of the best michael shannon uh you'll ever get and uh he's one of those actors where all you have to do is say his name and i will watch the thing you're telling me about yeah oh he's he's uh he's fantastic bobby kind of Wally is in this as well. And he's, for me, Bobby Kahnival is one of those people as well. Yeah, he's great. I love that guy. Grace Van Patten, Samara Weaving, who was in that, that hide-and-seek, Bloomhouse movie a couple years back with the family that's trying to kill her. Oh, yeah. Jason from The Good Place, right. A completely unrecognizable, what's his face? You know the

The fourth dude The dude who's not cheaty in their main group of four Right He's in this Manuel Jacinto And Jason Mendoz on The Good Place He's unrecognizable I mean he's recognizable

But he's playing such a different character in this He's great What's his name? Mani no, yeah Mani Jacinto Oh yeah Okay, here he is. Oh, he looks different even in his IMDB photo.

He does. Weird. Okay. Oh, Samara weaving. Is she? Okay, she's related to Hugo weaving. Oh, really? Whenever I see her acting and not having a British accent, she's.

Well, he's Australian, but yeah. She's Australian. Oh, she is Australian. Well, he's Australian. He is, but yeah. She is too. She was born in Adelaide, it says. Oh, okay.

That makes sense. I didn't know they were related. That's crazy. That is crazy. You know why? It's because she, I don't know if I've seen anything with her where she has done anything with her native accent. So I just assume, you know, she's from here.

She's really good at it. Yeah, she is. She plays a character that you would think she would play when you see, when you see Samara weaving, like this kind of Instagram, uh, influencer, followers, that sort of thing. Wow. She's, she's cool. I didn't know.

She is really cool. She's really, really good, but she, uh, she's playing this character very, very well. I like her a lot. Okay. I had no idea they were related. That's nuts. Yeah. So eight episodes, they're about an hour each.

It's a thriller mystery kind of thing. And, oh, yeah, yeah. Regina Hall is in this. She's excellent. Kind of gets really dark there as well. Yeah. Anyway, nine perfect strangers. It's on Hulu.

And it's good. It's very good. All right. Well, you had me at Michael Shannon. Yeah. Tell me about this second clip. The second clip is a movie, and this is a movie that I hadn't heard about it. It came out this year, and we were planning on watching it before we found out that it takes place in Ireland.

Oh, well, very nice. Let's play it now. Really? Where's the money? Money. Frank. It's the only bag. The only thing I can't put my finger on is where's the body? What do you?

Frank. Frank. The way I see us, you got two options. One. Kill me. Which wouldn't be very smart since I'm your only shot of getting out of this mess or two. You confirm my suspicions that the fella you ran into was going to kill me. In which case you saved my life.

If the second is true, then thank you. And we should consider joining forces to get the head out of here and sell those drugs before stepdaddy comes and knock him. I already like it because I like how they talk. Sell those drugs. Yeah. This is another one that's like, wow, okay, I never realized that she wasn't an American either. That's Olivia Cook, who, if you saw the show Bates Motel, she was Norman Bates friend that had the oxygen hose on her nose. Oh, yeah. she was great on there she was great and she's she's great and she's actually british um

this is a film called pixie came out last year and uh has her has ben hardy has calm meanie playing a character named o'brien come on how can you uh that's yeah i mean like stepping right into that star trek connection yeah and even has alec baldwin as uh father hector mcgrath see alec baldwin with an irish accent i also really like frank uh Frankie McCafferty, I think, is the actor. Yeah, there he is. He's in this, too. As Father McGinley, I like that dude.

Maybe it's a small part, but... Let's see. I like that dude a lot. He's an Irish fella, for sure. He's a Irish fellow, for sure. This is good. It's like a road trip, heist movie. I mean, it's like all those things we really like.

Road trip, heist movie, double crossing, things like that. Olivia Cook is fantastic. She carries the whole... the whole business because she's so good. But Ben Hardy's good. Yeah, it's a really sweet heist film. It just happens to take place in Ireland. And there was one scene.

There was just basically one really quick scene where we saw something that we saw while we were on our trip. Other than that, nope. Even though a lot of this movie takes place in Sligo, it was just a bridge that she rides on her bike. And it was like, oh, yeah, we were on that bridge. And then that was the only thing we,

recognized. Maybe they, did they film it somewhere else or something or, uh, no, I think they really did film a lot of it in, uh, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, um, and dingle, they go to dingle. We didn't go to dingle. Did not go to dingle. We're not, if we're going to drive a long time, you need to go dingle before we leave. You go, exactly. Did you dingle? Yeah. I'm not going to stop this car so you can dingle. That's right. Um, so this is streaming on, what do we watch it on showtime. Uh, so if you're doing the Paramount Plus deal where you get free showtime, then you can watch this on there. Otherwise, Fubo has it. Oh, Fubo.

Fubo's all right. Fubo. Yeah. Fubo's never really let me down when I've had to rely on it. It's fine. It's called Pixie, P-I-X-E. Very nice. You know, watch it just for Calm Mini playing a character named O'Brien or watch it for

Alec Baldwin's Irish accent. Yeah. But, yeah. Get in there. And that first one sounds great, too. I need to get both these on this giant list that never ends. The never Shrinking list

The never shrinking list All right I'm going to make a recommendal This is a new season Of something I recommended before But the new season Makes me want to recommend This new season

So I'm doing that Sure Sure I watched the whole thing It's only seven episodes Where the hell is my clip Hold on there it is Let's see if you can probably figure it out

Here you go Can you tell me about your dating history My dating history What? I don't have any. What? Is that a serious question? I've never been on a date before. Something always seems to either go wrong or kind of trigger my flight reflex. I never had a girlfriend, not even when I was in high school. I'm on my quest for true love, and I cannot give up on that.

All right. So... Wow. I don't recognize this at all. Recommended this last year. It's been a while. it was it's i don't know if anyone ever ended up seeing it in our little group but um the first season of love on the spectrum was last year this is a new season oh and it's basically yeah yeah it's basically a bunch of um although in this case there's an american girl involved but she's now living in australia so i don't know it's still it's still mainly people in australia some returning from last season some new people um and then some people who were

covered separately in last season are now actually dating each other. other in this season. But anyway, it's just a show about a bunch of people who are on the autistic spectrum trying to make their way in the dating world and figure out how to navigate these relationships and get past the awkward stages and, you know, take somebody to dinner for the very first time and then meet their parents and all this kind of stuff. It is, it continues to be just the most cathartic, wholesome, kind-hearted show. and is not it's never mean it's never exploited in no it doesn't feel that way at all it just feels like this really i don't know there there are parts of life on the spectrum that i actually find

appealing and it's going to sound a little bit weird i'm not i'm not saying i wish the whole world was autistic it's not really what i'm saying but what i mean is there's a there's a certain sweetness to some of these folks that is really hard to replicate in real people or regular people I should say. And I just wish there was more of that aspect in people who aren't on the spectrum, who are less on the spectrum. They're just so sweet and kind and just want to do the best they can and the right thing in the right situation.

And it's just a real sweetness to it that I just love. So I'm going to recommend it again because the new season's great. It's awesome. And I know chat room is like there are no regular people. No, I get it. I understand everybody. Truth is, if you really looked at the entire thing, we're all somewhere on a giant spectrum, okay?

I get it. I'm not saying that. What I mean is in more average personality types, I wish some of these traits were more prominent. I'll put it that way. Okay. They're just so nice and kind and sweet and just lovable and funny. They're funny as crap.

And they don't even know they're being funny half the time. But they're just so, I don't know, so just want to be around these people. It's great. It's up on Netflix. Both seasons are there. Then latest season, of course, bingeable all at once because it's Netflix. And it's a, it's just a wonderful, beautiful series and I recommend it. Like if you like reality shows or documentary style reality shows, this is like, think, okay, here you go, Brian. I got the perfect comparison.

British Bake Off is to other cooking competition shows that love on the spectrum is to other relationship reality shows. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah, it totally makes sense. So what makes British Bakeoffs special? And less, those people did come there to make friends. Exactly. There you go.

If you want a less jaded view on the world, I think it's a real good time. So do check it out. All right. I tried to add Nicole. Oh, she's here now, I think. I think she has arrived. Nicole has arrived. Like a carrier in Stargraft, too.

Hold on. Let me see if I can get her to. We have a Nicole. Yeah. I think she's coming in. I think I'm ringing. Yeah, Tina really liked the first season of Love on the Spectrum. So maybe I'll watch Season 2 with her.

Yeah, I think you both really enjoy it. The Michael guy who's in both seasons is, I think he's clearly like the star of the thing because he just is such a breakout, interesting, funny character. I shouldn't say character, but. Yeah, I know, but I know what you mean, right? Like, it's, you know, we see them on TV. They're characters. Yeah, they're kind of characters.

All right, she didn't answer, and I don't know why. Hello, Nicole. answer thy phone. Oh, Nicole has arrived. Hello, Nicole. Yay! Hello? I'm here.

Oh, you're there. Hi. I'm here. I'm here. You had to run around a busy thing or something. I was getting groceries. Oh, well. We didn't really have much food.

So I'm like, I'm going to drop off the kids, go get grocery and get back in time for recommendals. Yeah, you got to eat. I understand, completely. No, it's good to have you here. You missed all our stuff, so we're jumping straight to yours. Let's go right to Nicole. Oh, really?

What did you guys recommend? Brian recommend the two shows. Brian, Brian, tell her the name. Yeah, let's see hold it. Yeah, well,

no, she's going to guess. What's your guess? Did one of you recommend Squid Game? No. No. I did last week, though. Yeah. You did?

Yeah. Yes. I wasn't here last week, was I? No, you were not here last week. I had a book fair. Yeah. How was the book fair? How to let those books ride

the Ferris wheel and Yeah. You go dunking for paper bags. Yeah, it's good. It's good time. So our digital teacher librarian is only half time at our school. And it's his first year. And he's like, Oh, they want, Scholastic wants to do a book fair. I've never done a book fair. And I'm not here the

whole time because you do it for like four days. I said, I'll help. I really, I really wanted the book fair. I love the book fair. It's like some of my best memories saving up like my five little dollars to go in and go shopping in the book fair. Yeah, that's pretty cool. How do you feel about a bookmobile? You like those? I like those. I like anything that encourages people to read.

Yeah. There you go. Yeah. When I was a kid, I just thought. Adult, kid, whatever. Read. Whether it comes in a car or a library. Read a book.

One of those bookmobiles. It's still reading. It's all reading. Like, I know some people are like, oh, graphic novels. It's reading. I don't care. It's reading. It is reading.

That's right. So I keep telling myself every night as I read those graphic novels. I get a magazine every month, and I have to convince Tina that I'm only getting it to read the articles. Right, right. It's not for the hard program. I'm reading, Tina. I'm reading. Yeah, it's fine.

I don't know about this podcast if this is reading. Yeah, podcasting, listening to a podcast. Not so much reading. Not so much reading. There's a thin line, you know, that's a slippery slope there. So our recommendal soap article were nine perfect strangers. Pixie, which is a movie, and Scott had Love on the Spectrum, Sextrum, Spectrum, Season 2.

Yeah, Season 2, Love on the Spectrum. I'm writing. I'm writing. What was it? Love on the Spectrum. Two, yeah, season two. Because I did season one last year. So I'm doing, I did two. Yeah. This is good. You guys get to see behind the scenes here, how we do things. Yeah. All right. I wrote it down. All right. You're ready for mine. I'm so ready for yours. What do you got. It's a fun one. All right. Here you. Well, wait. I believe you. Play, Brian. Look away.

All right. I'm hitting play on this look away. I remember that, raid. There we go. Wait, where it is? Oh, look away, little girl. To the home of fear and fright. Where not all guests survive the night. Oh, I'm excited about this. Oh, me too.

And those who don't, you're rot in. What's that matter with you? You can't say that. This is a family show. What are you doing? Welcome foolish Muppets to tonight's very special Halloween challenge.

We just have to survive the night in this autumn mansion. Everything here will seem familiar. But your eyes may deceive you. Oh. I'm the mysterious, Madame Put your talk. All right. I'm all in.

Yeah. I heard it's good. I hear it's really good. It's been on my list. And there's a great cover in there, too. Oh, is there? Nice. It just came out a few days ago.

We watched the day it came out. I loved it. So this is the Muppets Haunted Mansion. Is a million times better than the Eddie Murphy Haunted Mansion. That's a low bar. We watched that one, too. Yes, we did. We're fans of the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland and Disney World.

we talked about the behind the scenes Disney attraction they did one all on a haunted mansion how great the behind the attraction with that yeah Disneyland you actually go down underground but in Disney world as you go up I think you just stay on the same level it's just a fake rumble elevator yeah yeah yeah so oh wait so wait the California one takes you underground though I didn't know that yeah you go I always thought it was fake at the very end of the right you go back up because there's no way you're going to fit in that little tiny house. Right. You're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess it makes sense now, but I guess I always thought it was fake. I just thought there was a rumble and it was just making me feel like I'd gone somewhere, but I didn't know. I was actually going somewhere. Oh, you actually went underground. Because it cools down, too. Yeah.

You've ever been on it. You heard a, what the heck, voice of Lego Batman. Will. Oh, Will Arnette. Yeah. Paul Arnette. He's in this. so it's pepe and gonzow they've been invited to the haunted mansion uh to stay the night as you is rizzo the rat is rizzo pissed because pepe went like where's rat where's rizzo i do not like rizzo i prefer the pepe he's okay i prefer the pepe i like pepe too but he's okay he's all right oh could you not like rizzo the rat don't like rizzo the rite like muppets in manhattan not a fan of rizzo yeah but muppet christmas

She's great in that, right? I'm just not a fan of the rat. We have shrimp or king prawn any day. Fair enough. I'll give you that. So this is so fun. I honestly, I watched it. The kids went off and did something else.

Really? They didn't stick her out like they were bored with it or something? I think Ava got a little scared. You know, she's still really young and she's adorable. This little light, you see this little light here? One of those little headlights that you can, she had it last night. I'm in the, in the office, the lights are on, and she comes up and she's like,

I'm going to tell you a scary story. She had it underneath her chin. I'm like, what I thought you had to do that? That's cute. That's super cute. So she likes the idea of scary when it gets really scary. She's like, I'm out. More than the execution of scary.

Yeah. Gotcha. I'm, so does this mean that we're going to start getting like regular great Muppet content? because I'm all for that. I don't know, but watch it so we can. I mean, the voices are off because, you know, the actors have changed. Yeah, we don't have some of them around anymore, sadly.

One got fired. The voice of Kermit got fired. Oh, we did? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought the voice of Kermit was Jim Henson Jr. Yeah. So it was, oh, what's his name? Somebody in the chat will know.

he got fired Steve something or other Here it is Steve Whitmire Voice Kermit the Frog In a statement of the Let's see 57 year old actor

Was fired after repeated Unacceptable Business Conduct Over a period of many years And he never Would address it Uh Hoh, sexual harassment here He doesn't say what he did

He was hard I read that he was very difficult to work with he demanded a lot he kind of um i don't know if any of that's true that's that's what i read yeah it's matt vogel now is he in this is permitt in this permit's in it okay all right he's not the main uh he's not the main deal it's uh it's mostly gonzo and uh pepe well yeah gonzo and pepe and then all of the characters kind of come in whether it's referencing them

at a Halloween party as in real life or as a ghost character in the mansion. I don't know how that works but I'm okay with whatever. Don't think too hard.

And a lot of fan service for people who love the ride as well. Yes. Yeah. Cool. They kind of hit it right off first scene.

You get a fun musical number in the graveyard with the faces on the statues. I'm guessing it's grim grinning ghosts with a bunch of Muppets doing the heads. Yeah. So you get the,

you know how as you go down the ride, it's like this person died and how they died and they kind of go through that. So you get some cameos. I think, um, oh, it's his name from AFV. He used to be on Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Oh, Alonzo. Alonzo, uh, the dance. He does the dance. Alfonzo. I played Carleton. Alfonso. Alfonso Ribeiro. Algonzo Riviera.

Oh, Ed Asner is in this, like the last thing he did before he died. He's one of the ghosts. And I was like, oh, Ed Asner. Let's see. Yeah, this is, let's see, was this the last thing he did? Because I would love that. I think it might be one of the last things he did. It is one of the last things that are out. I guess he had a bunch of stuff in pre-production that's still coming out. So I loved him. He was great. He shouldn't have died. I guess he was 91. He can die. It's fine. But I still like it. Did you, uh, he can die? Yeah. Did you see his Twitter, or not his Twitter, but his TikTok? Oh, yeah. And Azzer had a TikTok. Yeah, he, I followed his. And was him cussing. Yeah. Yeah. He's got a great, um, he had, I don't know if his daughter was running it, but he had a really great TikTok account that was just funny stuff he would say. And he was really smart. I like that guy.

I liked them a lot. That's cool. Well, all right then. I'm going to watch this. Watch it. I want more. I want more Muppets. That was amazing.

I loved it. That's cool. Muppets now? Wasn't that done for Disney Plus or was that done and just moved to Disney Plus? Muppets now? I don't remember it. Yeah, there was a newer, there was the Muppets that was like the office. But then after that, there was a Muppets that was like the Muppets show.

It was like they were shorts and it was all on the computer. And it was like. They were like Zoom calls. Oh, Zoom calls. Oh, yeah, never mind that thing. Yeah, that whole thing. No, no, no, no. Because we're afraid Muppets are going to catch COVID from each other.

I guess you have people sticking their hands up those Muppets. But all right, whatever. Yeah, that's true. You got to watch that hand before you put it up there. Well, all right. I'm in. I want to, Carter and I are going to watch this like as soon as we can because we both love the Muppets. It's cute.

It's not that long. I mean, it's not like Jirlink kind of stuff. just a really fun little watch they need to do they need to do more just more just more stuff just get more going and I I personally liked the weird office thing show they had I thought it was fine it wasn't great or anything but it was fine like I just don't want to I just don't want I want a world with more Muppets in it I didn't like the office show I thought it was fine it was all right so they did a Phineas and Ferb Star Wars do a Muppet Star Wars yeah Oh, there you go.

Yeah. That's a great crossover. You got all the money. Do all the Marvel stuff. Yeah, you got all kinds of opportunities here. Oh, there's so much opportunity. No kidding. So much.

So, yeah. Just do it. Have fun with it. After you see the Haunted Mansion, you could see how that could work with other kind of mesh-ups. Yeah. I would not be surprised if we see some of that coming from them. That would be cool. All right.

There you have it. Nicole will put these on her Twitter account. It's over there at Nicole Spagg. And enjoy those groceries. groceries you got. Go put them away. The ice cream's melting. Read a book. Yeah. Oh, and read a book. It's in a book. Reading Rainbow. Oh, she left. All right. Hey, there you go. That's the end of that segment there. I hope you enjoyed it. And now we're done with the show. That's it for this, today's programming. However, the reminder must go out that you find people at home. If you haven't done so already, should join us at patreon.com slash TMS and help the show continue to survive and thrive. It's super easy to do. You can find all the levels there and be like so many before you

and be a part of why TMS exists. Patreon.com slash TMS. Send your feedback to the morning stream at gmail.com. That's the morning stream at gmail.com. It's time for us to go out with a song. I don't have one, but you do, I'll bet. I do. I was a planned ahead and brought one as perfect. You probably noticed that I planned ahead and put in all of this week's songs really, really, You did. I wondered about that. I thought maybe I didn't know what to think. That was amazing. I always, I always wonder if I'm going to get a deal from Lyft saying, hey, if you do 40 rides this week, then we'll give you $750. And so it's like, all right, if I get that Sunday morning, I want to make sure that I've got all of the week's music planned out so I don't have to, that's one less thing I have to do before the show. Because that's when I would do it. I would go up to Boulder and do it before the show.

Anyway, that's neither here nor there. Paul, a.k.a. Jigerdad, up there in Canada, wrote in, said, hello, Scott and Brian. On October 15th, I'm starting a whole new career. After about 15 years in tech-related fields, mostly working with printers and copiers, I'm moving into the insurance industry as an advisor. It may not sound like much, but there are a lot of better opportunities with this career over my previous one. I'm looking forward to being in a better place mentally and physically, with no more having to drive and lift so much stuff all the time. I'd love to hear a cover of Taking Care of Business or any other work-related or BTO song. Yeah, Paul's great. Paul was in my D&D team, along with Barry and Tanner and my son Tristan and various folks. We have not played D&D in months. So maybe eventually we'll get back to that.
