Space and sex sounds the same. Fiber for a cling-on. We accept all TMS people.
Starting point is 00:00:30 It's bland for a reason. Honey, I was at the zoo petting the koalas, I swear. Of all the call-ins, they're adequate. The Bucca de Beppo of Thai food. Callous-mouthed Dave. Just a flea and Anthony Khetis. More like the shits, Carlton. A crescendo of smells.
Starting point is 00:00:45 It's cold down here. Under the fandom with major spoilers and more on this episode of the Morning Stream. Oh, Jesus. No description can equal this weightlessness. Oh, my God. Oh, wow. Oh, I'm telling you, oh, my goodness me. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I can't believe this. Sheet. Sit down and listen, punk. This is the morning stream. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday, October 18th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson, and this here is Brian Nibbitt. Hey, Scott, how are you? I'm okay. I got tea. I got hot tea because it's cold down here. Yep. And I don't like that. No, sir. Listen, I just got to ask you, how did you get audio of me walking into the Cosmopolitan Hotel Casino in Las Vegas for the very first time? How did you get that audio? me and my reaction. It's crazy. Well, you've seen how much of your old prom stuff I get. It's not that hard.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh, the weightlessness. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Oh. I like that everybody's been putting up. So I put up this photo of an old Kirk episode of TOS looking outside of a window of the ship. And then below it. a picture of Shatner looking outside the window of the Amazon penis rocket. Yeah, right. And they, and it's a nice little juxtaposition. It's like, oh, you know, here's the captain finally getting to look out of an actual spaceship. So to me it was kind of, it wasn't even as a joke. It was like, oh, this is a nice thing.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Like it's a full circle, like the world, yeah, completing itself. But then someone sent me one of Shatner looking at the window terrified from that episode of of the twilight zone where there's a creature on the way. Oh, that's even better. I never even thought about that.
Starting point is 00:03:06 What a great. So now we need somebody to take one of those photos and Photoshop a little gremlin on the outside. No, we don't need. Oh, what we need is somebody to take that Twilight Zone video and put his voice going,
Starting point is 00:03:18 oh, Jesus. Oh. Even better. I can do that. To the Twilight Zone video, yeah. Jesus. Oh. I like people that say, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:03:32 They don't get a whole. Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Jesus. Oh, Jesus. That's good stuff. I mean, he's obviously just, you know, completely weirded out. That's spelled with four Zs, by the way.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Jesus. Yeah, you got to, if we ever do that. Three E's and four Zs. Yeah. But if they, I assume they had a photographer on board that took, like, proper pictures because they always do. I don't know. That's, you know, there's four people. there i don't know uh you know you're these people are paying whatever quarter of a million
Starting point is 00:04:02 dollars to get up there one of those echo robots they announced the other day they got one right see there you go one of the drones one of the security drones that flies around your house when you're not home yeah yeah yeah those are great everybody wants that in your underwear drawing anyway uh shout out to uh Tracy haley yeah so one of our own uh tad pooler who I guess I the first time I met her was in 2015, and the reason we met them was under similar circumstances. She was up at Snowbird, which has a higher altitude, which means less oxygen, and she's got a lung thing that will sometimes kick in depending on, you know, altitudes and things. And so we helped get her to a hospital, and then she was here in Salt Lake for a few days
Starting point is 00:04:47 after Nurtacular recovering and all this stuff down in the valley. Anyway, she's an awesome person and always really great in the chat room, in the tadpool, and the Facebook group, all this stuff. She's just a great human being. And she's in the hospital. Went to the ER last night because her oxygen dropped to like 70. And they did a COVID test. It was negative.
Starting point is 00:05:09 But the doctor still thinks she has COVID, which is an interesting thing. They just keep getting a negative test, but they think she's got it or else, because they have no other explanation why it's dropping like this. So anyway, she's there and being held for tests and they're going to try different things. And anyway, just be thinking about her, you know, wish you're the best, all that.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Send you're, you know, send her your tadpool healing vibes. Tina mentioned this to me last night, let me know. And so I immediately jumped in here to make sure that we gave her a shout out today. Because Tina's on Facebook way more than me, maybe even probably more than you. Oh, way more than me. I guarantee it. I'm barely over on there. In fact, Kim found it.
Starting point is 00:05:52 So you're the same as me. Our wives are the ones that have influenced. formed this. There you go. And she, let's see, I got this message from us if she's updated it. Okay. So she's being held overnight for observation. She told me
Starting point is 00:06:07 let's see, crossing my fingers, it'll be just one night. Thank you so much for checking in. Dumbed-da-da. Okay. So it sounds like they're just kind of keeping an eye on her and she's okay. But anyway, be thinking about her. You know, I know a lot of you don't even know her, but she just was one
Starting point is 00:06:23 of the sweetest people I ever ran into. I don't know. I just, I don't want her to be okay. So there's that. Brian. I went out for some Thai food with crazy neighbors on Friday. Well, Tina and I went out for Thai food with crazy neighbors on Friday night. Oh, Thai food.
Starting point is 00:06:39 And, um, I love time. You know, uh, yeah, delicious stuff, right? I had some, uh, what I had? I had a three-flavored chicken, uh, with some different curry in there. Tina gets her usual panang. Um, of course, we always got to start off with some, uh, What's the soup? Tom Ka?
Starting point is 00:06:57 Tom? Well, there's the coconut one, then there's just the spicy one. The spicy one. Tom Yum. Yes, that's... Tom Yum is the spicy one. That's the one I go for. And so our server comes over.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Hold on. Do you guys get the big, the fountain version of it where it's like a whole communal, like, giant bowl that's, like, heated the whole time you're there? That version of that soup? Well, they don't have that at the place that we go to. Okay. That's so good. So good. It sounds like you go to the Bucatatabepo of Thai food.
Starting point is 00:07:25 You know, this is like a little, little family-owned place in Golden, Colorado. And so we get bulls, individual bulls. Nice. And so she comes over to take our order and says, can I get you guys any appetizers or any soups? Tina says, yeah, I'll do the Tom Ka. I say, I'll do the Tom Yum. Mr. Crazy Neighbor says, I'll do the Tom Yum as well. And to preface this, I got to tell you, Mrs. Crazy Neighbor is a huge Seinfeld fan.
Starting point is 00:08:02 And so the server goes around and asks all our soup orders and then Mrs. Crazy Neighbor doesn't order anything. And so she says, oh, no soup for you. And immediately, at the top of her lungs, Mrs. Crazy Neighbor goes, no soup for you. which with an Asian server you kind of got to hope that she's familiar with the reference
Starting point is 00:08:30 otherwise it sounds like it sounds like mocking sounds like a horrible impersonation oh 100% even though the soup Nazi wasn't even Asian it doesn't matter like that voice just the way you say it as
Starting point is 00:08:45 no soup for you yeah but for the record sorry just for the correct here i'm putting this in our in our discord um this is the kind of thing i was talking about it's a oh yeah okay we've seen there's a little sterno in there and yeah and just burn it the whole time and then you're supposed to scoop out of it and um no ours doesn't have that like a little for audio listeners it's like a bun cake mold yeah it is it is like a bun cake mold or like a like a washing machine opened up or something with a thing in the middle seriously if you get this uh this gets comes to you
Starting point is 00:09:18 at tiki bar it's filled with rum and uh it's probably on fire yeah it looks like a volcano yeah they're all that soup is so far you just look at that and that's a good tom call with um octopus in there looks like and uh calamari i'm seeing some scallops um um usually it's like shrimp and lemongrass and um um bach choy whatever it is that they use that's uh kind of bachchoy like There's also like a, there's a little reeds of something in there. That's what I was trying to remember. Not bok choy. It's like something else.
Starting point is 00:09:56 And it's really hard. You don't want to be chewing there. You got basically like, oh, I got one of those. And you basically put it on the side of your plate and, you know, you don't eat those. That's fiber for a, for a cling on or something. Exactly. It's like bamboo shoots or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Anyway. This sounds so good right now. I know. It was really good. And we had some, uh, the next day, some leftover tie. The next day, it was really, really good. I always get the drunken noodles. That's my jam, is the drunken noodles.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Drunken noodles, yeah. Our friend Dan always gets the drunken noodles when he joins us. But when Dave's there, he's already drunk. He is the drunken noodle. So no. Dave usually gets some, he gets the messiest meal he can because it will end up all over the table and his lap and whatever shirt he's wearing. And he always asks him the spice level. And Thai food, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:45 they in Thailand apparently they like their food really spicy so there's there's U.S. spicy and then there's Thai spicy and so he'll say make it as spicy as you can and they'll say Thai spicy and he's like top of the Thai spicy Dave will do that Dave will do that crazy neighbor Dave will do that that's great I don't know how he tastes the food I don't either because I feel like the inside of his mouth has to be one big callous after eating everything like that you'd have to be my brother can do it but um and kim can do it a little better than me but i always have to do american spicy there i can't yeah yeah same here it's like i'll go medium i'll go two two in the menu two little uh red hot chile feats it's still hot yeah it's just a flea and an anthony ketis did you
Starting point is 00:11:39 It might be a good defensive mechanism, actually, his order of top of the tie spicy because nobody ever asks to try his food. Like everybody else be like, oh my God, that looks really good. Can I try a bite? And I'm like, oh, yeah, please help yourself. Nobody ever says, ooh, can I try a bite of the thing that has steam coming off of it that looks like skull and crossbones? Yeah, yeah. Because you're going to die.
Starting point is 00:12:05 That stuff is so hot. And I don't know how they. And sometimes they'll screw up and bring you the hot. one or we'll have it delivered and they'll, we'll have said two and they'll send four. Right. And we'll all kind of die. We'll all just die.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Nope, can't do it. Yeah. Everyone passes away or comes close. Yeah, Thai food though. Thai food. It's the best. So good. It is amazing.
Starting point is 00:12:28 All right. Well, that's fantastic. Also, a reminder, we're doing the play date this weekend. Now, this is the fun thing about Friday's play date. It means that everybody can show up. It's not just a Patreon close stream. It'll be here on the Twitch channel. And we do it at 2 p.m.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Same time as we do the show normally. But this time, we're doing it in the wake of the brand new release of the latest jackbox collection, collection 8. And it's got this animation drawful thing in there. Yeah, I talked to the tadpool. So they all did their Saturday tadpuligans get together. And I said, oh, hey, have you guys done the new jackpuling? Jackbox 8, and they're like, oh, yeah, there's some great games. And they're saying, how is Drawful animate?
Starting point is 00:13:14 Because to me, it feels like this is going to be a thing that is going to take everybody a long time. Like, all right, do your drawing. And then it's like, oh, come back in five minutes when everybody's drawings are done. Sure. I guess you only get two screens. So it's like a back and forth all animation thing. Kind of like, what was that? It was a Dr. Katz, the animation thing in the 90s.
Starting point is 00:13:38 The Squiggle Vision stuff. The therapist. Yeah, right. Whereas like, everything would be two screens and would just kind of go back and forth. Yeah, a bunch of those guys went on to, they're now Bob's Burgers people, those people. Oh, are they? Yeah. Or the Everybody Wang Chung Tonight video is another good comparison.
Starting point is 00:13:55 But like a low, like a low data gif, really is what you're making. A low data gif, yeah, exactly. And they say, yeah, it's okay. It's not great. It's okay. I think we're going to, I think you and I are going to like it a lot more than most people. They say there's something in their. called Job Job, that is great. That's going to be a lot of fun for the tadpool. Job job. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:15 So you had me, you had me at job, but if there's two jobs, all right. It's job job job. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, we'll do, we'll do that. We're doing eight. And it's, I've already got it. Just got to play it. And we'll do that Friday. So if any of you guys want to be here and be a part of that, please do. We tend to give preferential treatment on those episodes to patrons who are there. And we'll pull that. them in first, but it doesn't mean others can't play. Oh, no, we almost always have extra space. And there are a lot of games where the audience plays as well and are as important to the outcome of the game as the players themselves. Yep. Yep. And as far as I'm concerned, these are some of the funnest things ever made. So, you all should, you all should come check it out.
Starting point is 00:15:00 For sure. They need, what they need to do is get with the, what the dub guy and just load that or make that part of Jackbox 9. Make it a Yeah, just make it part of the collection. Do it. Yeah. Why not? Absorb them. Absorb them.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Absorb them like the bog. Assimilate. Like a bounty tissue on a particularly pesky spell. Absorb it. All right. Speaking of absorbing, we're about to absorb this guy. I don't know if we're absorbing enough to absorb one Brian Dunaway, but we'll try. Hi, Brian.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Oh, hi. Oh, hi. Hello, Brian, Donald. How are you? How are you guys doing? You know this Monday. Oh, you know. You know, it's a Monday.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Yeah. Just kind of making it happen. He's Monday. It's making it happen. What do you want from us, man? Yeah, what do you want? What do you call for? What do you need to?
Starting point is 00:15:49 Oh, oh, we called you. I want you to be excited about Monday. Oh, no. I'm the anti-Igar field. You are. You like Mondays. I'm not against Mondays. He hates.
Starting point is 00:16:00 But I'm certainly not as excited about Mondays as I am about Friday. You're not for it. Do you do you. What is a Friday? What is a Friday ever done for? for you, Ibit. That's true. Wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Do you eat, do you like lasagna or do you, do you, you must hate it then? If you're an anti-garfield, you hate it. I am. I'm anti-lazania. It's too much, too many wet noodles and meats and cheese and oh my God. That sounds great right now. And then I'm always tempted to eat garlic bread with it. And then I smell like garlic breath the rest of the night.
Starting point is 00:16:33 You brush your teeth 20 times. It's still there. Can we just talk, could we talk for a while on a weekday morning about something that I'm allowed to eat? Yeah, no kidding. Something that Noom is okay with. Oh yeah, Noom. I forgot you doing that Noom thing. Doing the Noom.
Starting point is 00:16:48 So is pasta never an option. That's moon backwards. It is, yeah, which is the only thing. You're going to the moon. I think they just said, what four letter.com is available? Noom? Great. Let's use it.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Do they let you eat any pastas at all or no? It'll be whatever I want. It's just a matter of. I get to eat anything else the rest of the day. Like, I basically, it's, it's telling you how many calories you're supposed to eat. This is something you could do without paying anybody, right? You figure out how many calories a day you're supposed to eat. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:17 You stay within those calories. You don't need an app to tell you to do that. But, yeah, this one you just enter in. It's like, one bowl of pasta. Right. All this stuff is just like having a digital accountability buddy, all those services, whether there's weight watchers or whatever. That's really what I'm paying for, is I'm paying for someone on the other end to say,
Starting point is 00:17:40 oh my gosh, you sweet summer child, would you quit eating zingers? Yeah. Zinger sounds good, too. Speaking of gross stuff, I saw Twizzler. Twizzler, Twizzlers yesterday, which I, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Twizzler breakfast cereal. I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I wrong. I said Twizzler, but what I meant to say was red vines. Don't get mad. Don't get mad. However, they were discolored. And I'm like, what's wrong with these red vines? Are they bad? No, they were candy corn red vines.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I'm like, get out of here. Were they red? Wait, are they? So they're not red then? So they're like yellow orange white vines? Yeah, they're like orangeish. Not even a good orange. Did you get them or did you decide?
Starting point is 00:18:19 No, what do I look? That looks crazy? I don't know. It seemed you went and got a McRib in a drive-up for us once on a live show. So I don't know. That's a McRib. You're in a totally different food category. Yeah, that's true. I'll give you that.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Well, Brian, it's good to have you here. We're going to play a game and we're going to try to win some prizes for some lucky winners potentially. I guess either way they win these things. But Brian, tell us what we're doing today. Yeah, someone's going to win and someone's going to be a runner-up. Welcome to the morning squirm, a back-and-forth trivia game where our players will match wits on topics that would even gross out, Jason Bloom. Scott and Brian will take turns answering multiple-choice trivia questions.
Starting point is 00:18:57 And if they get it wrong, the other player gets a point. A player with the most points after five questions wins the prize. for their contestant, and we're pulling contestants for members of the Tadpool that aren't able to listen live. So, Scott, you're going to be playing for Braxton D of Lexington, South Carolina. Is he, whenever, if I experience Braxton D, does that mean I'm not actually giving birth yet? It just feel like I'm actually pregnant if you're experiencing Braxton D. Got it. I'm just north of Lexington.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Oh, you are? Oh, cool. Oh, yeah. Very close down. Yeah. I once dated a girl from there. Whoa. The Lexington.
Starting point is 00:19:32 And her name was Braxton. Woo! Now you know too much. He was also just south of you a little further south. Robert D. of Lakeland, Florida. Oh, yeah. These ghosts represent today. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Pretty cool. Lakeland. I've heard of that before. Lakeland. Yeah, there was a newspaper in Lakeland, Florida that I went to, and I can't remember Lakeland. We live in the Lakelands area here in South Carolina. Gazette, the Lakeland.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Probably. It's something like that. Lakeland Times. Tribune. Tribune. Lankland Tribune. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Well, we got double used to. I'll betcha Robert would be able to tell me what the Lakeland Florida newspaper is. He probably could. Guess what? Those aren't of the questions, unfortunately. Otherwise, you guys would have done really well at them. These, uh, I think, I think Brian one last time. So, Scott, you're going to go first.
Starting point is 00:20:28 You know, it's funny. You know what's funny. What's that? I could ever remember if I've won, but I'm pretty sure I have not won every time. But every week, it seems like you said, Brian won last time. I think the last time I've said the Brian one last time. I'm pretty sure Brian won last time because I was excited that the better game, I think, went to the person. Oh, yeah, yeah, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Yeah. That's right. Oh, and I should tell you, the games our players are playing for are West of Dead, Atomicrops, and Heaven's Vault. Dude. Yeah, West of Dead is an excellent game. Yeah, so is Atomicrops. Atomicrops is like farming meets dual stick shooter roguards. Really?
Starting point is 00:21:05 Oh, it's amazing. It's amazing. A dual stick shooter farming game? Oh, my God. Take that corn? Yeah, you're raising like mutant like plants and stuff and then you got to keep them protected. Atomacrops is awesome. Oh, that sounds like fun.
Starting point is 00:21:17 And then what do you do? You like sell those off to a red vine and they make some kind of crazy ass candy corn. Yeah. And then they show up in your local Publix or whatever and then you go. Now this is actually the Cracker Barrel. Oh, well, I'm sorry. You had to go there. The Cracker Barrow is trying to, they're trying to change their image.
Starting point is 00:21:32 It was a big old giant sign. When I walked in, it was like, hey, we welcome all people. And it was like, it was this very welcome. I'm serious because they've gotten a little bit of, you know, a little bit of stigma over the years of being catering to a specific type. And now they're trying to change their image a little bit, which is great. Look, I think that's great and I hope they do. But the fact that in the year 2021 of our Lord, they have to have a sign up that says,
Starting point is 00:21:57 we accept all people is really, really telling you. Yeah. It was more awkward than just that. But yeah, I was just glad to see that because we've always had a diverse group of people in our Cracker Barrel. Where I live, we're very mixed and just, you know, in many nationalities here. But either or not, we're very mixed here in. Diverse. Yeah, you're diverse. You're a diverse. You're a melting pot of sorts, right? Would you say that? Yeah. Okay. And Cracker Barrel is a company that wants your money and they don't care of what you look like or who. That's right. It all spends the same. Got money in your pocket. Plus they have a pretty good chicken fried steak. I'll say that for it. Yeah. Yeah. It's not bad. And not very good grits.
Starting point is 00:22:38 No. I might mind. Well, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Look, look, look, regionally speaking, the cracker barrel where I live, the grits are pretty good. Okay. That makes sense because there are places in this world where, like, you go to St. George and they have that Taco Bell down there. you're going to have the best Taco Bell of your life. And I don't know why it's better there. I have no idea. But what I assume is in South Carolina,
Starting point is 00:23:05 maybe somebody takes a little more time with the grits over there. Maybe that's it. Yeah. Let's say that's it. It's authentic. You know, it's like Scott was saying, if you have authentic cooks in the kitchen,
Starting point is 00:23:18 you're going to get authentic food. Yeah, maybe. Unless the franchisor, the lords come in and go, no, we make them bland. We make them bland for a reason.
Starting point is 00:23:26 you're fired, you know. Gritch are supposed to be watery. Don't put all that flavor in there. We got to spread that out over all the grits. We can't afford flavor. Don't open that flavor packet. We can't afford a flavor. I'm going with A.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You're going with A? All right. Well, why don't you hear the question first? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Brian, 81% of surfaces in a hotel room have traces of what on them? Is it A, fecal matter, B, sperm, C, blood, or D, urine? You know, my de facto answer has always got to be fecal matter.
Starting point is 00:24:08 So, I mean, why would I, anytime there's a question about the coverage of something, it's always fecal matters. You never bring a black light into a hotel at an effort, like just never. Yeah, of course, it's going to look like a Jackson Pollock painting in there. It is a fecal matter. is correct, fecal bacteria found on most 81% of surfaces in a hotel room. So when they say surfaces, they just mean everything, desks, the side table, the alarm clock, whatever. The table that the TV sits on, the two end tables, the, uh, I'm always curious how they get
Starting point is 00:24:42 this data. Is it like a very small sampling? They go into one, you know, hotel and middle of nowhere. I mentioned it's based on more than one hotel. I mean, it's probably, yeah, but it's so too. Yeah, it's probably, They probably go to a hundred hotels. What do you do all day? I scanned the hotels randomly for fecal matter. That's my job. And I report back. Your selection better be more than just one hotel.
Starting point is 00:25:04 If it's just like one Super 8 hotel in the middle of Omaha, that's bad. Yeah. And you better be going to like the courtyard by Marriott. You better be going to the Ritz Carlton. You know, better really give us a wide sample of price. What bugs me is your other parts of your list there, probably are also there, right? Like, so there's poo, but then there's a fair amount of sperm and there's probably a decent amount of blood and, you know, like all that. Yeah, yeah, it's all in there.
Starting point is 00:25:31 What I think this means, though, is that, yeah, there's some places that maybe have trace elements of 10 or 15%. Right. But that means to balance out to average to 81%. That means there are a lot of places that have 100% of their surfaces. You know, I thought maybe I was crazy. But everywhere I go off, I can smell shit. So maybe that's what's going on. Everything's just covered in a thin layer of fecal matter.
Starting point is 00:25:53 You can go to Costco and get those small packets of sanitizing, wet sanitizing wipes. Take those with you on every trip and just wipe everything down when you get into a hotel room. Yeah, why not? They're doing a better job of cleaning it before you get in now, but I'm sure they are now, yeah. But still, it's all relative. So if it was a bunch of fecal matter, it's now just a little less fecal matter, but there's still fecal matter. Right? It's just a lower amount now.
Starting point is 00:26:18 All right. Jesse Calhoun, thank you for explaining how averagees work. J.C. Calhoun, it wasn't a matter of explaining how averages work. It's just a matter of saying that that means there's probably a lot of places that of 100%. You know, I've been thinking more since we've been through COVID and everything
Starting point is 00:26:34 and we've talked about aerosol drops and stuff. So does fecal matter escape with our farts? Is that what's going on? We've got like a fine spray of people. Probably. Or I think people just go to the bathroom and they don't wash their hands afterwards. Then they go and they, you know, work on the
Starting point is 00:26:50 desk or they open the the sliding door and go out on the balcony and use the table and chairs out there. And they're drunk because they were out all night with Bill from marketing. They're there for some local conference. Exactly. The guy didn't even, he forgot to use toilet paper. He's just walking around.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I want to apologize for going deep dive on that question. Oh, believe me. We've got plenty of deep dive to go. Scott. Yeah, great. This is great. A threadworm sounds tiny and relatively harmless, right? Sure. Wrong.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Do you know where these parasitic threadworms come from? A, out of a child's butt. B, out of unwashed fruit. C, out of your pet's butt, or D, out of the human ear. I don't know what a threadworm is. Well, if you knew that, then you might know the answer. Yeah, this is unfortunate. Knowing where they come from is half the battle.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Threadworms. I mean, it seems strange that it's just a kid's butt, not anybody. but I feel like the worms are always in the bacterial nightmare zones. It's got to be butt, kids' butt, baby butt. Kid's butt? Yeah. Kid butt. Kid butt is absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Yeah, out of a kid's butt hole. Yeah. That's where threadworms come from and believe that's where they can stay. Did they find that in the fecal matter at the hotel? Like 81% of kids' butts contain a threadworm. Marriott kids So wait a minute So a thread worm is just like a
Starting point is 00:28:28 Man, you're not going to be sitting on Grandpa's lap for a little while No, no No I don't want no thread worms Are you kidding me? I assume they're not good You don't want them?
Starting point is 00:28:39 You want me to send you a photo of a threadworm? No I'll look it up later if I want to kill myself Particularly in children under the age of 10 They're white and they look like small pieces of thread Ew. How did they get them? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:28:55 I'm looking one up. I don't ask. Yeah, I don't know. That was a mistake. Yeah, these are horrifying. I'm not going to speculate. Yeah. Okay, I don't want to know any more about these.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Yeah, I think we've learned all we want to know. All right, score is tied one to one. Back to Brian. Two butt questions. Go ahead. We've got a third butt question. Sure. Hey, you'd better think twice about giving that cuddly koala bear a hug.
Starting point is 00:29:18 koalas are known to easily infect humans with which STD is it a gonorrhea B herpes C HIV or D chlamydia okay I'm glad you got this one this is right well I'm gonna kind of eliminate HIV I don't think that's as common there um I'm not saying that's Australia well I don't know I you would just because they don't they didn't get they didn't get the blame right because when sure yeah it was a recent monkey monkeys. Yeah, they didn't get the blame. We didn't point the finger. So herpes is very, because, you know, we think of herpes as just down their herpes, but it's in a lot of places on the surface of the skin and humans. I'm going to go with the herps. I'm going to go with the herpes. Is it herpes? No, it's no. Your remaining choices are gonorrhea, HIV, or chlamydia. Two great choices.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I'm just going to it's total guess gonorrhea gonorrhea is also incorrect it is chlamydia damn it
Starting point is 00:30:26 that's right you still got the point because Brian went with herpes Brian has herpes so you got the point yeah yeah you know what it always
Starting point is 00:30:34 spread that rumor spread that rumor around yeah much that one around a little bit right so any reason why they have such a high rate of chlamydia
Starting point is 00:30:42 and why you want to look it up I didn't go deep on that right we don't need to know we don't need to know It's just facts. It's fine. It's fine not to know, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Still would rather hang out with a koala than a kid with threadworms. All right. Brian, no, I'm sorry. Scott, you get this one. Guy to rear. Uh-huh. Go ahead. Give a rear.
Starting point is 00:31:03 While not overly common, agrizoophobia is a fear of what? Uh, A, ant farms. B, zookeepers. C, teddy bears, or D, living near a zoo. Give me the name pronunciation. Agrizoophobia. Agrazoophobia. Agrazoophobia.
Starting point is 00:31:23 So agrafobia is a fear of crowds. I'll even type it into our discord here so you guys can both see it. I thought it was agoraphobia was a scary. It is, but agroids. The reason I'm saying that is I think it's that proximity to a thing. Words. Right. So I'd say that one, nearness to a zoo.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Living near a zoo? Yeah. No, the Jerusalem. have gone out. It is not living near a zoo. Damn it. Damn it. Brian, the remaining choices are ant farms.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Zookeepers are teddy bears. Everybody's scared of the ants. Ants. Ants. Is the answer are end farms? Sorry. I wanted to pull this one up. Is the answer to ant farms?
Starting point is 00:32:08 No, it is not. It actually is, well, this says teddy bears. But I'm looking on. line and it says it's a fear of wild animals. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Interesting. Agri. So zoology. I typed it wrong. So zoology, you know, it's animals in general, not just a zoo. Right? Like, yeah. Well, but see, this one says teddy bears.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Like, I'm thinking, um, uh, stuffed animal teddy bears, not, uh. Yeah. The point is, either one of us would have got it. Even if you did. Agri-zophobia. The fear of teddy bears. There we go right there. Oh, Jeannie.
Starting point is 00:32:50 What about, what about your, do you have any, is it, do you have any like a Teddy Roosevelt fear as well tied into that? Or is it totally just the small stuffed animal teddy bear? Just the small stuffed animal teddy bear. It's interesting. If Jeannie's here, we should ask her what, because she's, oh, no, that's Muppets and stuff. That's puppets, yeah. It doesn't count, right? They're not in the same class.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I'm afraid of Muppets. A Muppet, puppet, puppet, slash bear. I'm just afraid of animal. Oh, okay. Yeah. Is there a different spell? Agua, zophobia. That's interesting because, yeah, morbid fear of wild animals is what the free dictionary is coming up with.
Starting point is 00:33:29 So, you know what? I think, I need a term for being afraid of getting the trivia question wrong. That's what Ibbett has. He will. He doesn't like it. It totally is my fear because I really don't want, uh, don't want, uh, don't want. All right. You know what?
Starting point is 00:33:45 We're throwing that question. I'm giving you guys a replacement. Yeah, besides the Fibbitt's fear of getting it wrong is actually called Veronica Phobia is what that's called. It is. It is. Oh, my God. It so is. Yeah. Yeah, that's a recent development.
Starting point is 00:33:58 She has that. Yeah, it is 40s. Yeah, it is. All right. So who, let's see. Scott answers that one, but he got it wrong. Yep. So, Scott, you get, you get this one.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Okay. And 80-year-old man living in a remote Iranian village went how long without bathing? was it five years 10 years 40 years or 60 years without bathing without bathing an 80 year old man living in a remote iranian village went how long without bathing 5 10 40 or 60 years ironically is about as long as he's seen another human being um let's go with uh feels like 60 because he would have like decided to do this when he was around 20 and he's like Yeah, I'm never bathing again, and then just... I'm not going to break my streak. I've got a streak. He's got a streak going.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Exactly. It's like me. I'm never going to puke again. All right. So it's got to be 60. It is 60. Yes, very good. All right.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Point to Scott. All right. Last question. This one goes to Brian. Scott's already won the game. Before I forget to say this, real quick. So if you go 60 years without bathing. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Do you even stink? In other words, are you just Do you even stink, bro? Are you just part of the earth at this point? Yeah, because it's like terminal velocity with terminal smell, right? Once you get to a certain point?
Starting point is 00:35:28 I was going to say, once you get to a certain level, I think you just always have that stink. I don't think you stop stinking. I think you plateau. Okay, so you just hit some ceiling and then you're always that stinky. Yeah, exactly. It's like you probably visually look like pig pen
Starting point is 00:35:43 with a cloud around you as you walk around. It's just a stink cloud. Oh, poor pigback. Do you guys ever do any stuff on learning anything about the U.S.S. Indianapolis? No. You know, the one that delivered the bomb and then, like, that was on the way back and sunk and all those sailors were out in the sea and there was all kinds of bad stuff going on. No.
Starting point is 00:36:06 No. Sharks, people, you know, cannibalism, all kinds of just terrible things. We haven't heard of it, Brian. Get up with your story. Anyway. Have you heard about the part? way the point being the point being i want to go a little slower since it's really bothering if it um the point being is the fact that some of those guys it was so traumatic because it was in the water for days and days and they wouldn't they couldn't even take baths so i was curious i'm like you know it's like it wouldn't be it's not totally unheard of that people
Starting point is 00:36:35 wouldn't go you know heck maybe decades going nope yeah not bathing yeah yeah you know there's some people keep the water off folks or somebody who's done that but it just seems like you'd hit such a crescendo of smell that you'd cease to smell? I don't know. Right. But I think Brian's right. The chat room are saying that this is also from Jaws. Yeah, Quint was from...
Starting point is 00:36:54 The P squared very nicely asked, You've never seen Jaws. Right. Yeah, Quit. Quit does make a reference to it in the movie. Oh, he does. He was on the indie, yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Oh, that's the same thing? Oh. I didn't know that was the reference. Okay. Ording, man. Not bathing. Smill like. death on that ship.
Starting point is 00:37:16 We're going to need a bigger boat. Quinn. We're going to need a lot more speed stick. We watched that for Film Sack. We did. So your question is invalid. It's moot. But I had one more question, right?
Starting point is 00:37:31 We also remember a lot more from Jaws than Quinn's story. Oh yeah. There's sharks and other stuff in it. Yes. Brian, you get this last question. Hey, better think twice about committing a crime in this country. If you get caught here, the conviction rate is 99%. Is that country?
Starting point is 00:37:50 Japan, Iceland, Afghanistan, or Singapore? Is the United States? It wasn't in there. Why wasn't in there? The United States was not in there. Yeah. Because if you get caught here, it's like 50-50, depending on who you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Who your dad is. And you said C&D was what? Afghanistan and Singapore were C&D. Yeah. How can you not say? Japan, Iceland, Afghanistan, Singapore. I mean, Afghanistan, I mean, it feels like that's just the catchy question, right? So I'm going to go to Singapore.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Okay, Singapore where that poor kid got caned. No, it is not Singapore. Scott, do you have a guess? Japan, Iceland, Afghanistan. I think that this is going to be a weird question and that it's probably something weird like Iceland because they're damned efficient or something. So I'm going to say Iceland. Because there's so few people there.
Starting point is 00:38:43 A few people, yeah. Yeah, because that's actually true because the percentage is going to be all out of whack because it's less people. All right. Is it Iceland? No, you still get the point. But the answer is Japan. Japan has a 99% conviction rate. Well, it sounds like there's some innocent people in jail if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Well, it sounds like to me too. It sounds like probably. They're just really, really efficient at getting to that. I don't, I don't buy that. I wonder how the Yakuza fit in and all that. But that's interesting. Now, I want to know more. I'm a bit of a true crime kind of guy.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I love, I love looking on that stuff. I'm curious now. Well, Brian, you can do some research. You can look it up. You can find out. And then you can let us know what you found. I'm still working on research from last week's podcast that me and Scott decided to go deeper dive on. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Yeah. And cartoons don't have a lot of murder and convictions in it. So, yeah, that may not be as good. Well, all right. Look, I won. That means who won here? Braxton D. South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Yes. Braxton, Lexington, South Carolina wins, West of Dead and Atomic Crops. But don't worry, Robert, of Lakeland, Florida. You're going home with Heaven's Vault. Yeah, very nice. As a runner-up prize. Really good prizes.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Those two top games are insane. I haven't played Heaven's Vault. I'm sure it's good as well. But we don't send you guys no crap, okay? That's the rule. We don't give you no crap. All we need you to have is a Steam account and you're set to go. And all these games, by the way, that are on this list are all playable on old-ass hardware, too.
Starting point is 00:40:10 so if you don't have something brand new, it would be okay. We're not giving away AAA freaking, you know, this isn't. You know, must have a, I don't know what the top of the line thing is anymore. It's like M1 is what I'm familiar with. Today you might get something new. Yeah, M1X. That's the rumor. We'll find out later on the Apple event.
Starting point is 00:40:34 All right. Hey, Brian, you're great. Oh, we did a film sack over the weekend. and it was good fun. I'm told by numerous sources, a bunch of emails, a couple of tweets, people really liked
Starting point is 00:40:45 the final 20 minutes or so of the show where we went like super tangent and people loved that. I don't know what we even talked about. I don't know. I think we just went on a big tangent about other movies outside of the fog.
Starting point is 00:41:02 You can't think what we're talking about. I know. I was like trying to remember what the heck did we watch. Well, because I watched Lords of Salem and the Fog. Yes, you did. Thank you for taking that one for us. By the way, that's the other thing I wanted to mention about the
Starting point is 00:41:15 veto that we do use once in a while. Most of the time we'll get maybe 10, 15 minutes in and go, yeah, this isn't going to do it. I bet watched that whole thing. I watch the whole thing because it started to pick up halfway through, but just not enough. It was just like, oh my God, this is so slow and like art for art's sake. I love you, Rob Zombie, but this was this was some self self-aggrandizing right bullshit yeah and then the fact that Brian you still used his veto after he watched it knowing that he was yeah right I could
Starting point is 00:41:49 have made you guys say you know what screw you guys I'm gonna make you watch it yeah okay so here's we was during our email discussion and we talked we were talking about Tony Todd and then we talked about sprinkling baking soda on something oh yeah yeah if that would if that would kill the xenomorph. Yeah. I still don't know where we did. I got to go back and listen to what we talked about. Was it a chat room says we talked about James Bond.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Is that what we did? Probably. Yeah, we were talking about who would replace who's going to be the James Bond replacement after Daniel Craig? Must have. I don't remember what we did. Well, anyway, I'm glad that 20 minutes worked for everybody. If you want to know what the hell we're talking about,
Starting point is 00:42:28 check it out at FilmSack.com or wherever you get your podcast. And it's the long-running, much-beloved film show called FilmSack. It's been around forever now. 10 years, 11 years. Good Lord. Wait, wait. I'm sorry. 12 years.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Yeah. 12 years. No, I thought 2007. Wasn't, didn't we start that in 2007? 09. I thought 2000, yeah. 09. Oh, 2009.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Okay. Yeah, 09. Right. And it's been around for that long and is covered in fecal matter. Yeah, don't look at film sac under a black light. Yeah. Much like the boob show, which will happen today at 330 Mountain Time, all covered in fecal matter and some sperm, if I'm not incorrect. Oh.
Starting point is 00:43:05 That'll be today at 3.30, we're going to talk about indie games, and I found one that will surprise nobody that I like it. That's the hint you'll get for me. I played the Riftbreaker. Now the Xbox Game Pass, Zerg Rush. Oh, a game I played and did not like it all, so I can't wait to hear what you think of it. I know while I was playing it, I was like, oh, Scott, you know. You knew I was going to hate it.
Starting point is 00:43:26 You knew it. It's just if you got tower defense in your game, F off, F right off. Yeah. Not interested. Oh, is that what that's what that game? kind of. It's got all the stuff that Scott hates. It's like, it's like the tower defense. It's got the, uh, it's got the Zurrush that Scott's not terribly fond of. It's also got the natural disasters that just randomly happen. Does it ask you for, uh, to buy crystals every two minutes? No, none of that. But the guy, the fighting and the battling stuff is cool because it's like it plays like you're playing a sort of like a Diablo action RPG, but you're in a giant mech. which is really cool.
Starting point is 00:44:06 And that stuff's great. Man, it's so cool. But then the minute they start doing all that base building and defense crap, I'm out. So we'll talk about that today as well. But I liked it. Yeah, well, I know.
Starting point is 00:44:20 And that's what's good because you're going to speak for those people. I admit, I'm just, you know, just not my thing. But that'll be today at 330 Mountain Time right here at frogpans.com. If you want to watch it live or you can check the podcast out. later at frogpants.com slash boop
Starting point is 00:44:36 or wherever you get your shows. All right, I think that's it. Hey, Brian Dunaway, anything else? Yes, I'll be streaming tomorrow like I do every week where I play video games for the Boob show on the Twitch. Go to twitch.com.combe. That's me. Subscribe, like, do whatever you want to do. Kiss our collective butts.
Starting point is 00:44:53 All right. He's gone. That'll be the end of him. That's all about enough out of him. That's out of enough out of you, boy. Now this. This is the info we've been waiting for. That's right. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Bacon. Huh. Good God, y'all. What is it good for? Absolutely everything. Say it again. Do you need more bacon in your life? Well, you're in luck. Zoe brings bacon now has merch.

I've got some of that bacon swag myself. Bacon swag. And I do too. In fact, I wish I was wearing it right now, but I'm not. It's too cold for the tea, but I'd need a hoodie. Wear the mask, but it wouldn't sound good on the podcast. I want to get a hoodie, like a big old hoodie. That's what I want. I like my hoodies. Good hoodie weather. Good hoodie weather. Oh, yeah. Isn't hoodie? Isn't it also nasty as like a nasty connotation for hoodie oh right like uh like it's short for hood rats or something like that right which is like kind of a negative term i think so what am i thinking oh i'm thinking you know
Starting point is 00:46:05 what i'm thinking of is hummer oh well yeah that's also a different thing yeah very different thing yeah uh all right but not always a bad thing no not always hey we've found a new and here's some science for you and bobby's not even here probably in the chat a new type of uh car uh carrivenic carnivorous plant found in a mountain bog. Oh, no. Run. Oh, no, not mountain bogs. Yeah, run, not walk.
Starting point is 00:46:35 If you hike through a mountain bog along the west coast of North America and midsummer, there's a decent chance you'll run into a false ass. What? Asphode. Asphodel. Asphodel, I think. I never heard of that. Trianthra Occidentalis.
Starting point is 00:46:55 I think so. Yeah. Look at this. Look at the brain on Brad. An unassuming flower that shoots up dark green stalks with white blooms. As it turns out, the false asphalt dole. Asphodal. Asphodal.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Found from Alaska, south to California has been hiding a secret from the human race. It's a carnivore. No. Don't get too close, Martha. Yeah. So they did some research. And it turns out, it says here, it's the kind of plant that turns the tables on animals and eats insects, which is quite cool, says Dr. Lynn, who is now a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Tor. I can't read. Toronto!
Starting point is 00:47:41 Why can I get that word out? What is that? What is Toronto? I would have lost the bet. If somebody would have said, which word in this news story is I could I have trouble with? I would not have. expected Toronto. Toronto. Or carnivorous for that matter. It just looked wrong. All right. That's a cool story, but let's
Starting point is 00:48:01 talk about the carnivorous human being and fake tuna, okay? Because this is important. Okay. Is it Jared? It's not Jared. It's not Jared, is it? No, Jared. Didn't he get, didn't he? Okay, I have it in my head.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I really do have this in my head that he got shanked in prison. Is that wrong? Oh, did he? And he died? Jared, Subway. Boy, it sounds like. Like a, sounds like a, uh, um, clickbait article, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:48:29 Well, he's still alive. Still alive. Uh, he's in prison. Okay, so that didn't happen. I don't know why I thought this happened there. You got shanked in a bathroom or something. Is that weird? Uh, he did.
Starting point is 00:48:44 He got, well, he got assaulted by another inmate. Uh, the attack left fog with bleeding nose, swollen face, and scratches on his neck. Um. uh let's see but i don't see any i don't see any shanking okay no shank no shank for a while he was he was uh in inglewood uh which is near littleton where uh the spagnolos live in the federal correctional institution oh my lord down here but now he's in el paso county texas you think there's a there's probably a phobia of living too close to a prison wouldn't you think that exists oh yeah there's got to be i mean i kind of would have up that phobia yeah there's a
Starting point is 00:49:23 There's people. We have an area right near our prison where people live, and I think they're probably freaked out all the time. I would be. I saw Raising Arizona. I know that, you know, a half a mile from the prison and some muddy stuff, John Goodman will crawl out of a hole and scream at the rain. Right. And that's just his normal day. I'll hear the TMZ article, Jared Fogel, beaten and bloodied in prison yard ambush. Who's ambushed? Is that the scratches and? Yeah, let's see. Looks like it. there's the guy that beat him up has a nickname who I do not want to say it's uh yeah his last that's his last name that's his guy's last name i saw that in wikipedia as well yeah oh yeah this was in he got jumped in the rec yard in inglewood prison in colorado back in january wow okay well good luck to you there uh was back in 2016 i don't know
Starting point is 00:50:13 how he's doing yeah exactly it's five years in el paso he's had a lot of uh five dollar foot lungs oh yeah it is if you know what i mean yep that's nothing to do with the news article though yeah you're right uh subway gets five million dollar fake tuna lawsuit thrown out of court uh this was kind of a big deal a while ago somebody or there was a big suit going on about how their tuna is fake and they couldn't they went and tested it and couldn't find any actual tuna in it subway restaurants incorporated recorded a big win thursday yeah all dolphin all the time against two plaintiffs who sued claiming the restaurant's Subway sandwich, tuna sandwiches, weren't really tuna. The lawsuit alleges that all of the customers pay a premium for sandwiches containing tuna.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Subway's tuna's subs lack tuna and are completely bereft of tuna as an ingredient. That's in the suit, that language. That's great. It sought 5 million in damages. Okay. Wow. I'm all for like, you know, fraud correction. Yeah, holding places accountable.
Starting point is 00:51:20 for what they, for their promises. But five million in damages? What damages? What was damaged? Depends on what it really was if it wasn't tuna. Like if it was broken glass, then sure, okay, I could see the $5 million in damages. But if it was whitefish or, or a cod or something, like a cheaper fish, then, yeah. Yeah, a cheaper.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Basically, I think that is what it turned out to be as a cheaper fish. In an eight page order, Tigar, that's the judge. I'm the coolest. It's the coolest of all the animals. He explained that this is not a situation where Subway possesses the missing information. Rather, he wrote, plaintiffs are the ones who can identify which statements they saw and relied upon
Starting point is 00:52:06 and where they saw them. In the lawsuit's current form, he reasons, Subway cannot properly defend itself against a complaint that does not identify the misstatements it allegedly made. So they can't actually point to statements that said this is 100% tuna and is absolutely tuna for sure tuna and they never really
Starting point is 00:52:27 seems like that would be something that they would have said at some point I just think you should be able look at the menu and go it says tuna there right yes exactly there's no asterisk saying mostly tuna yeah yeah also do you ever tuna spelled with two O's like
Starting point is 00:52:43 crabs spelled with a K exactly hey do you ever do that thing where I just did it I pointed it at the sky for my story And then my hand came back and tried to grab the brim of my hat. It's not there. I'm not wearing it. You ever do that? No, I've never done that.
Starting point is 00:52:57 But that's great. I mean I'm wearing a hat too much is what that means. That's what that tells me. Or not enough if you reach for it and it's not there. That's a good point. All right. That's it for news. We're going to bring in our pal, Stephen Schleiker, after the break.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Bill Durand is on assignment, not really. Administrative leave. He's on a little mountain trip. I'm excited for him. He's on assignment. In Beirut. Yeah, there you go. Fallujah.
Starting point is 00:53:22 We'll talk to him from the scene next time. But before we do that, we need to take a song break, and I assume you got the memo and brought one. I did. Phil Luden's wrote in and said, hi, I have an indie in the middle request. My nephew's band, Tiny Voices. Their debut album is coming out October 15th. That was this last Friday. And they just released a single from the EP called I Don't Even Like Lobster, which is also another problem with Subway's food.
Starting point is 00:53:49 This is available at link tree slash tiny voices. That link tree is L-I-N-K-T-R-E-E-slash Tiny Voices. The EP, brand-new EP, is called Where the Time Went. And here is, the first single from that. It's some nice pop punk for you. Here's Tiny Voices, and I don't even like Lobster. I woke up, but I wasn't home. Out of the coast, Atlantic Shores, I can see the Boston Harbor.
Starting point is 00:54:19 From my road The night is brisk the air is cold Where I'm alone Now I'm all alone Cold winds in a city I've never been before Walked down the streets I stumbled on Cobblestone and crowded rooms
Starting point is 00:54:45 Damn it always smelled like food Is that the life I'm trapped for Indian truth? Boxer tails and Irish accents. Drink till we lose, tell me where the time went. Games on the couch inside with my friends. Can't help but wonder but where the time went. Lobster tails and Irish accents. Drink till we lose.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Tell me where the time went Gaves on the couch inside with my friends Can't help but wonder but where the time went All alone Cold winters in a city that I've ever been before Walk down the streets I stumbled on Cobble star that's crowded room And it always smelled like booze
Starting point is 00:55:40 It's the life I've transformed into truth Do I need you? There's always the things on the news Is this the life I'm dressed or is it true? There's always the sad things on the news Is this the life I've trapped or is it true? true, are you welcome? That it was it home?

I don't even like lobster. English, man.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Anyway, that's from their brand new EP called Where the Time Went. That was Tiny Voices. Real quick here, Carter yesterday, was it yesterday or the day before? We were having a conversation and she says she believes that the word boot is the most multi-use as in its spelling of B-O-O-O-T, not a change spelling, but same pronunciation,
Starting point is 00:59:48 that the word boot is the most versatile word in the English language in that it's being used in the most places and not being spelled different. And I tried to think of another one. So Brian, let's just have a quick little game here. All right.
Starting point is 01:00:00 So let's think of all the different ways you can use boot. Obviously, the shoe is a boot, or the footwear is a boot. The giving somebody the boot means getting rid of them. Also, like, to boot. Oh, right.
Starting point is 01:00:17 You know, oh, this, and it's got that definition to boot. To boot, right, whatever that is, yeah. They got the car or the trunk. That's a boot. Oh, right. Okay. Yep. What was the other one?
Starting point is 01:00:29 Carter's in here, I think. Let's see. Maybe it's only four? I think we came up with four. You've been boot. Rainbow Bright says boot also. means stupid really oh it also means start your computer up oh boot yeah boot your computer yeah okay that's good um somebody some people use it as throwing up like booting right okay so there's
Starting point is 01:00:54 another one uh boot young office police officer i've heard that one oh really okay yeah we Brian already did footwear codes from home yep um das boot i don't think that's it fire somebody i mean getting rid of something giving it the boot but i guess firing yeah Oh, right. The car, tire, and parking enforcement, the Denver boot. Oh, the boot. Yeah, the car on your tire. The big metal thing you put on, yeah. So far, I'm at eight. Eight. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Okay, that might be all there is. So then a bunch of people in the chat said the F word is the more versatile word, but I can only think of maybe four uses. I'm not going to get into those so much, but. Listen, if you, if you asked David Spade, he would say that dude, has the most different definitions. Yeah, that's true. From that bit that he used to, his solid 10-minute set included, dude.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Yeah. Dude. Set or something like, there's something like some very similar or simple word like set. Set might be one too, yeah. Set, because you'll set something down. A collection of things is called a set. Your TV set, which is a single thing, yeah. A sunset.
Starting point is 01:02:09 A set. A set. I can't believe I'd say cassette. Never mind. Ignore what I just said. Ignore it. Ignore it. An Alanis Mora set. Moris set. Right, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:22 A movie set. Yeah. All these things, I think set has, we need an official listing. Yeah. Set is pretty good. This is good. I like this. Yeah. E.A. Ferris says, set is the winner. Well, then we believe you, A. Farris, unless Talley tells you to F F F.E.A. Ferris. Holy cow.
Starting point is 01:02:42 J.C. Calhoun, again, uh, with the facts. Guinness Book of World Records, the English word with the most meanings is, drum roll please. Oh, wait, I have one. Uh, oh no, I didn't put it in here yet. So instead I'll play this guy.
Starting point is 01:03:00 Diarrere. All right, go ahead. There we go. Set. It is actually set. Uh, 430 cents is listed in the second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Also, it contains the longest entry in the dictionary. It's 60,000 words. Wow. So set.
Starting point is 01:03:16 There you go. We did it. We did it on the show. Carter, I'm sorry to disappoint you. It was not the word you thought it was. Yeah. You need to set your expectations lower on whether or not. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Sorry, Aboot that. All right. Let's get to Stephen in. She set a boot to find the word with the most definitions. There you go. All right. I don't know his name. Major spoilers.
Starting point is 01:03:38 That's who. I always start talking. typing Stephen, and it doesn't do anything. And then I realized, oh, yeah, his name is major spoilers. And so why do I do that? I don't know. But here's this. C.R.P.W. Get credit. Yeah, yeah, of course. Stephen Schlecker. Stephen Schleiker.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Hey, look who it is. It's Steven Schleiker from Hayes, Kansas, who does everything major spoilers-wise right from there, and it's great. Hey, Stephen, what's going on. Oh, not a whole lot, Scott. Good morning, Brian. What a lovely setting you have behind you. Yeah, I agree. Well, thank you. Yeah. I have a nice set. I have a nice set of collective. That I've set upon the wall and set on the bookcase. Your microphone's got a nice setting.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Yeah, right. Set down a spell. No, I'm all out. I'm out. Set. Set your watches for fun. Oh, yeah. Geney says, now you're all set.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Say, that's another good. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, dude, set. Versatile word. That's pretty good. English is weird.
Starting point is 01:04:33 Hey, Stephen, it's good to have you here. Boy, we're basking in the light of the fandom. Wow. No kidding. A lot of stuff happened there. Did you watch the whole two hour plus stream? No. No, I was at a soccer game, the final soccer game for my son for the season. For me, that would be all the more reason to watch the full two and a half hour stream.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Well, no, they won, so it was good. That is good. Yeah, but there was a lot of stuff. Some people are, I see some people saying this wasn't as excited, as exciting as last year. I'm looking, one of the problems is they put this across all of their Warner Brothers' channels. So like if you go to the DC feed, they've only got just under a million views. If you go over to the Warner Brothers feed, it's got a certain number of views. The HBO Max has a set number of views. So I think they may have kind of watered down their overall view numbers by
Starting point is 01:05:25 spreading it across multiple YouTube channels. But still, I'm going to bet they had over a million people watch this in a 24-hour period. And there were some good stuff, some good stuff there. Yeah, I agree. Lots of good stuff. Yeah, I recommend the, I recommend the YouTube channel that's got each of the bookmarks. Yes. That's the DC. That's the DC one. That's the DC. That's a really good way to do it. Because then you can just jump to the next one and check the things you want to say. I will say this though.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Anoyed as I'll get out I was at the time. I sound like Yoda. No, annoyed as all get out. I was. Anyway, I'm watching. And the thing for Black Adam is on. They're talking about it. And I like the first bit where it's James Bond talking about everybody and, you know, I'm playing Hawkman. the next guy, you know, all that.
Starting point is 01:06:10 That stuff's great. But then they said, and then finally, the man who ties it all together, Dwayne Johnson, and then out comes the rock and spends another 10 minutes talking about how cool their movie's going to be.
Starting point is 01:06:23 And then finally we see the teaser at the end. And the teaser's great. But holy crap, it took them long enough to freaking get there. So some of that pomp and circumstance isn't really my jam. I just wish they'd get to the, get to the media damn thing.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yeah. That's kind of how a San Diego Comic-Con whole age presentation would be yeah yeah yeah exactly and maybe even a little longer the last four minutes are the trailer and before that it's all this oh we're just so excited to bring this thing to you can i have some more pancakes please yeah no kidding um i do like and he's in a couple things uh duin johnson like he almost uh should have his last initial begin with c because he is so dc he's like got uh black adam he's doing the voice for um crypto and that animated thing yeah which i which i'm weirdly excited about that's the way you do that you animate that and then i care that's how i care about that
Starting point is 01:07:13 crypto thing if you were doing that in real light like a live action version of the crypto dog and his friends f off f right off but do it in 3d animation you'll sign me up i'll watch your dumb movie that sounds great yeah uh yeah so we got a few kind of teasers of some movies that are kind of still in production black adam of course just went into post production and to be honest the teaser that they showed us i think those were some of the stand-in effects because they didn't look very good him electrifying that guy tell he disintegrated looked all right? Watch it again, Scott.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Watch it on a big screen. That's one thing that I would recommend is I watched it on our HD television and I was like, oh man, there's some there's some weak moments in that. We also, the same thing with, same thing with Aquaman. We just got a little bit of a tease. Same way with
Starting point is 01:07:58 the Flash movie. We just got a little bit of a tease of that stuff. We didn't even get a teaser trailer for Aquaman. We just got Mamoa talking about Yeah, which looked really cool. some of the animatics and stuff looked great. But, yeah, the thing with the, the flash thing, the big highlight of that was hearing Michael Keaton talk over the damn thing, because we know he's coming back as old Batman in that. Yeah, we get to see multiple flashes.
Starting point is 01:08:24 We get, we're going to potentially see more than one Batman. I know what's his name, Ben Affleck has said that he had more fun playing Batman in the Flash movie than it did in the, in the Snyder, in the Snyder Justice League. Oh, that's weird. Yeah, so how's that going to work? How do you mean, how's that going to work? Well, what I mean is if you've got, you can have multiple, it's the multiverse, Scott. I know it is, but Marvel, Marvel isn't the first one to create this. No, I know that.
Starting point is 01:08:52 It's not that. It's just that. So that will make it canon that Ben Afflex in a different universe than Michael Keaton, then Robert Pattinson. He's in the same, he's in the same universe as the Flash is, just like the TV. Did you watch the, um, the big CW crossover. event two, three years ago. So, yeah, they actually kind of referenced that because at one point as Barry Allen is running around and the multiverse is collapsing, he runs into Ezra Miller's flash in that.
Starting point is 01:09:21 So, yeah, they've definitely set it up that all of these things exist in a multiverse. Okay, that's fine. They just can't go too crazy with that. I like that stuff in the comics most of the time. Sometimes it gets a little out of control. I'm not saying they have here. It'll be fine. like infinite or the the upcoming dr strange business may just completely do that on
Starting point is 01:09:41 marvel side and totally might eff it up i don't know but we'll see and if you've seen um uh the what if series you know that explores the multiverse as well yeah well 100% does uh um does any of this take place in the joker movie universe the the um not that i have not that i have not that i have seen or heard yeah not saying that they won't do some reference to that but not that I've seen. Because that takes place like in 1980 or something, right? So you can't even really do patents and Batman because Joker would be like 60 years old or something, 80 years old. Although, I don't know how old.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Actually, do we know what the era is that the new Batman's in? Is it supposed to be modern? I guess I saw some cars that look kind of modern, but his car looks like a freaking muscle car and it's bad. Yeah, it is, yeah. And that goes back to that year one series in the country. comics where he's, you know, trying to find a car that will work. And so he's using a muscle car in that first year. Also, artist Francesco Franco Villa has a great little set of conceptual art that he has done called Batman 1972. And if you guys haven't, go and check that
Starting point is 01:10:51 out. That stuff is really, really awesome looking. And you might be able to see, I think, a little inspiration drawn from his art into the movies. Okay. Well, let's talk about that trailer for a second. So it was basically their, you know, master work of the presentation, I think, or the thing that they kind of held off on the longest, a new Batman, a new trailer for the new Batman, all that stuff. Going into this, I'm already sold because I think Matt Reeves makes really cool movies and I'm not at all worried about it because I just think that dude's awesome. He's one of those directors where I kind of side unseen expect to enjoy myself, regardless of who's in it. I look great. That's the kind of Batman I want.
Starting point is 01:11:31 All to talk about it being truly a detective thing is amazing. uh what's his name is unrecognizable as the penguin i don't know how they did it oh oh yeah right what's his name uh i can't think he's name uh irish guy claire help us uh he played a dead shot leeson yeah no not lees not dead shot the bullseye bulls i can't think it was name oh colin feral geez feral yeah that's colin feral brian can you believe that i did not recognize that as colin feral that's crazy he really pulls off kind of a um um um um robert denier kind of. Yeah. Even when you know that it's him, even when you know it's him, you still can't see it. I can't. Yeah. Colin Farrell or Colin Firth? Colin Farrell, not Firth. Okay. Yeah. Definitely not Firth. I mean, they're nice, they're both nice Collins. As far as I know. They're good. They're adequate Collins. Yeah, they're out of the Collins. Of all the Collins, they're adequate. In the top. Colin Quinn, it'd beat them all. Did you guys, I mean, does it get you more
Starting point is 01:12:32 excited about that movie or less excited about that more excited i'm stoked after watching it just even that opening sequence where it's like dark rainy gotham city neon lights on the petals i was like yeah i'm not really that interested no i'm completely 100% into this this is this is my kind of batman i want it dark and gritty i want i want detective business going on uh oh yeah i'm so i'm down for all the detective business i'm down for that this feels very much if if you watch it it feels very much like a almost like a seven kind of vibe going on as well so you know I can get behind that stuff and it looks like we're getting riddler as the big bad cat woman in there as well and no sign of the joker himself but we get the joker the joker's gang or we get a bunch of joker followers
Starting point is 01:13:18 it looked like yeah and that could say a lot about which joker if any they would include here right and I'm hoping we don't get a joker I'm hoping they don't overload this with a lot of the rhodes gallery um i feel like riddler and catwoman is plenty yeah well and penguin you got three oh and penguin yeah right you forgot um yeah i i this is batman during his early years where he's just pissed and i think yeah year one it's the year one stuff this isn't batman where he's older now and he's trying to raise young dick grason you know it's not that this is a different time for him and i really want that story so every time there's a new batman of any type that's coming out.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Everybody spends months going, Heath Ledger is the Joker. That sounds terrible. I can't believe they hired Heath Ledger. And then it ends up being amazing. So all I'm saying is there's a little Nolan in here. There's a little bit of the comic vibe going on. I like Dark Batman Tales.
Starting point is 01:14:19 I'm in. I'm all in. Are we getting the parents in this one? No. My understanding, from what I read yesterday, there's no pearls falling on the ground. there's no origin story, none of that stuff. Behind the movie theater business, okay, good.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Apparently, this just jumps into like... Behind the movie theater. Big detective story right from the back home. That's a whole different movie. Yeah. So I hope not. I mean, I should say that everything I read seems to say that it's not, but yeah. I mean, I'm going to watch it.
Starting point is 01:14:50 Don't get me wrong. I was just like, oh, okay, I kind of see some repeating bits that or some, you know, some set pieces type stuff that. That kind of has me a little concern. But I like that if you watch all of the stuff that's been released, it's like, we're going to light this thing with no lights. And whatever light is coming from, the little record light on the camera, that's what's going to illuminate our scene. And that's it. So it's very dark.
Starting point is 01:15:17 And I, you know, if you watch just his recent work, the last two Planet of the Apes movies, you will get an idea of Matt Reeves tone in terms of his direction style and stuff. I love it I think there's something about it that's just like really really great so we'll see man I'm not I'm not expecting the world to alter and be crazy but I do expect that to be
Starting point is 01:15:42 more of what I'm interested in from a bat from a single story about Batman you know if you're going to go Justice League let's say they do the Justice League over again and they get far enough away from the Zach Snyder stuff don't go dark with that you know Batman can still be brooding in kind of an A-hole and not trust everybody, and that's fine.
Starting point is 01:16:00 But just brighten that thing up a little bit and get it more in line with the way the Justice League is. And you can do a lot of stuff tonally to improve that. And I don't know if Robert Pattinson hangs around for that stuff, if DC movies are from now on just sort of they're not all acting in the same places. You've got a Joker movie with a whole different actor, and then you got other Joker Bean and other things.
Starting point is 01:16:19 I don't know what their plan is to bring all that stuff together. But maybe this multiverse thing is the way they do it, and they just treat it all as separate. don't know. That's something that they've been doing for, gosh, it feels like a decade now back when now I forgot her name was in charge of DC. They basically said, we're just in the business of telling stories. It doesn't matter what universe they're set in. And we can kind of see that in what's going on with DC Comics now, where you have stuff that's far set in the future, some stuff that's set in the past, some stuff that's set in an alternate timeline. And so, you know, if people
Starting point is 01:16:54 are into that, I mean, yes, I like Batman a lot. I don't want to, every DC movie to be a Batman movie. But if every Batman movie tells me a different story and it requires a different James Bond to go and take down the bad guys, I'm okay with that too. Yeah. Did you read any of that future state stuff that's, that's some of it. Yeah, it's a mixed bag.
Starting point is 01:17:12 There's some of it's really cool. The future Gotham stuff is pretty good. But some of it's not good. Like the Suicide Squad future stuff is just kind of bad. Yeah, there's some stuff that's the way with everything. Some stuff's going to resonate with readers, some
Starting point is 01:17:28 some won't and that's just the the risk you you take when you do this now of course some of this was supposed to be that that big g5 uh announcement that was going to happen uh about a year year and a half ago before the big upheaval took place at at dc and warner brothers and now they're just like well some of this stuff we already put the work in so we might as well continue it and some of that stuff has been successful enough that they want to continue some of the future state stuff some of it has not been as successful And so you can see them rolling back into other stories that resonate with readers. And the other thing, my takeaway from the Black Adam stuff was, as soon as the guy introduced himself,
Starting point is 01:18:11 and I don't even remember the name of the actor, but he says, I'm playing Hawkeye, or a Hawkeye, Hawkman. Hawkman. My brain went. Okay, just stop there and let's just make a Hawkman movie. Let's go do Hawk World. Right. Right. Let's go nuts with Hawk World.
Starting point is 01:18:24 I would love it. Oh, my gosh. Again, it depends on which version of Hawkman you're talking about. I know you're talking about that, what was it, third or fourth reboot of Hawkman with Hawk World and everything. I would be very keen in archaeologist, Hawkman, who stumbles upon the temple of Ra and is blessed with this superhero abilities in like the 1930s and do it as an Indiana Jones meets superheroes thing. I'd be okay with that too, actually. Any of that, I just like Hawkman a lot. So, oh, is that the guy from Leverage, J.C. Calhoun?
Starting point is 01:18:54 That is who that is. Oh, yeah. He's cool. Yeah, I'm all in for Hawkman. Black Adam, I just think Black Adam's shaping up to be interesting and, you know, effects wise or whatever, I don't know, because I guess I wasn't paying close. I'm going to watch it on a bigger screen today. It's fine, but when I watched it, I was like, oh, you can see where they're cutting away because they don't want that special effect to be on screen super long or else they're doing that to make sure that there's, at most, a PG-13 rating. Was there anything in this presentation you had heard maybe rumors about that didn't end up happening? No, I think pretty much I'd go back a couple of weeks or maybe last week when I said, here are things that we can expect. We'll see looks of all of these kinds of things. What I didn't expect was the Aquamanna animated series that was announced for HBO Max. And then a fourth season of Young Justice was announced at this event. And both of those shows dropped on HBO Max either the same day or the day before or something.
Starting point is 01:19:58 Because I sat down and watched the fourth season of Young Justice on Saturday night when we got back from soccer. Was it the entire season or just some episodes or? No, they do. For Young Justice, it is new episodes every Thursday. The first two episodes are out now. Gotcha. I don't know what the timeline is on Aquaman. My guess is it's also going to be weekly, but I don't know what the, what day it's released.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Okay, I got to catch up on that. Also, new Doom Patrol stuff was shown in season four. I'm so excited about Doom Patrol, and we get a little sneak peek at the Titans season finale. And Pennywise, going to be continuing, I'm sorry, Pennyworth. Pennywise. They all go down here, Batman. Yeah, exactly. Penny Worth, coming to HBO Max from Epics and continuing there.
Starting point is 01:20:44 So that was great because that was like the only thing you'd want to subscribe to Epic's to watch from what I hear is Pennyworth. And now it's come at HBO Max. Yeah, that's good, right? That means they'll probably have a longer life over there, at least I hope so. Like Doom Patrol, I think Doom Patrol was doomed had they not had Max right around the corner. We saw that happen with Swamp thing when it was on the DC thing. It kind of flopped, and then once they moved it over to the CW after they canceled it after that first season, suddenly they're like, there's a lot of people watching this thing, but we can't bring it back because we tore the sets down.
Starting point is 01:21:18 So we're going to have to move on with something else. That sucks. That sucks. Bad timing, you guys. What are you doing over there? I mean, they're trying something different and something new. And you got to remember when you look at what DC was doing, we had Hulu, Amazon, Apple TV was just coming up and Netflix.
Starting point is 01:21:39 And this is, you know, Warner Brothers kind of jumped on, especially with the DC stuff, a lot of original streaming programming before Paramount did its thing, before, you know, some of these others came out. So I know D.C. seems to stumble a lot, but they're also in that innovator bleeding edge stage that other companies are not. They let, they let Warner Brothers stumble and fall. And then they're like, oh, here's where they made the mistake. We'll do this right. And then Scarlett Johansons, who's Disney Plus?
Starting point is 01:22:08 So there you. All right. So one other final thing that's not connected to this. I just wanted to ask your opinion. I actually have a theory about this, but why the last man got canceled for a second season. and it's not even done with its first season. I have a theory. I think that show, for good or ill,
Starting point is 01:22:30 really wanted to be social commentary for our day and do it in a way that this like juxtaposition against a backdrop of all men dying at once and then what would that mean and, you know, all the stuff and then the trans issues that are built into it and stuff. like what does all that mean I think is all worthy of story but I think what's happening this is my theory I think that they wanted it to be commentary on today and I think people want to escape and don't want to have 24 seven commentary about today I think people want their television even their dystopic apocalyptic television to take them somewhere else and not just constantly pound into them the issues of the moment because the issues of the moment are everywhere else you look if you're on social media, you're watching the news, you're doing anything else, you are constantly hounded by the issues of today, and I think people wanted to escape, and that show didn't perform that well, partially. I know some people just straight up don't like it. I was enjoying it.
Starting point is 01:23:34 Yeah, I think, I'm still digging it. Yeah, I like it. I think, I just think the commentary so center of it that it's throwing people and just making, even people who fully are like into this, like, want this kind of discussion. to happen. I think you're just weary right now. We're just tired. You may be onto something there, Scott. I mean, certainly they had a very diverse writer's room, very diverse crew that was working on this. I'm not going to buy the argument that some people will probably claim, and you're not claiming it, so I'm not trying to put words in your mouth. No, I understand. But the wokeness of the show killed it because
Starting point is 01:24:10 people don't want wokeness. That's not it. But you're right in that the time period in which this show is released. And we have to remember that this show was was in production and trying to be in production for, God, again, a decade probably. Yeah, since the comic hit, really, right? Yeah, but there is a, there is a trend that we can look at zombie movies, for example, or the zombie genre. In times when there is good economic progress, when, you know, the unemployment numbers are low, when, you know, consumerism is high, the zombie genre becomes super popular. But when that wanes and falls the other way, then the zombie genre kind of falls out a favor.
Starting point is 01:24:50 So we can kind of track that. Same way with vampires and looking at trends in sexual disease transmissions. At times when there is very little pandemic type stuff around sexual disease, vampire genre increases. And then when that stuff comes up into focus, the vampire genre decreases. So yes, when we're in the middle of a pandemic, the best time to release your pandemic show is definitely not in the middle of a pandemic. Right. I agree. I totally agree. I think there's I think some of that's going on. I mean, everyone's going to have their own take on this, but, you know, a show either succeeds or it doesn't. If it was succeeding wildly, then they wouldn't have canceled it. So, what are the reasons? And I think
Starting point is 01:25:31 if people are not watching, it's, it comes down to that. And there's talk of them getting picked up by somebody, but I don't know. I hope so. I really do hope they get picked up by somebody because the creator of the showrunner on Twitter had said that they are actively shopping this around. And so who knows. It may wind up on HBO Max, you know, going forward. But at this point, I wouldn't. Yeah, at this point, I wouldn't keep my hopes up too high. Yeah. Well, there's always, there's always more. Don't worry, everybody. Genre fiction, no end to it. We're going to keep it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You're going to be able to find other shows that are like this. I mean, yeah, I just, the things that during a pandemic go and look and see that should have been big hits. There's the one, it's on, I think it's on HBO. It's the one about this kid and the world has turned into like kaiju's. Oh, I haven't heard of this.
Starting point is 01:26:25 This came out like a year and a half ago. I think it's a love, love and monsters. Oh, love and monsters. Yeah, Nicole recommended that. I have it on my list to watch, but not not to me either. I mean, it's a really cute show and the whole family enjoyed it, but had this been a non-pandemic time period and everyone is dying from, you know, this plague and giant monsters, this movie might have,
Starting point is 01:26:45 been a big hit but instead it's just kind of like uh well i want something i think as as carter said in the in the chat uh i want a distraction from the real world yeah and um i get and i think that's probably what is part behind why the last man so i couldn't stand any show this last this last season that had a zoom episode like where the characters were on zoom talking to i just couldn't watch it either yeah i can't even go near them i don't even even if there's a hint that that that's what's happening i'm off like i remember there was a one remember the horror movie where somebody gets killed on a Skype call and then this is years ago though
Starting point is 01:27:19 before the pandemic I can't even go back to be in that one or something yeah something like that and I don't want to go back now I don't even want to see that freaking thing not because I'm scared of it but because yeah I just has zero interest like take me away from all of this is what we want these escapes to be not let's go further
Starting point is 01:27:36 into it doesn't mean you're being ignorant or denying what's happening it's the opposite it just it's too real and so when you're faced with the reality of whatever's real you don't want to turn on the TV and go, okay, give me more reality. Let's do more reality all the time nonstop. I mean, I don't want to speak for everybody.
Starting point is 01:27:50 I'm sure somebody loves it, but I don't. Yeah, I mean, Captain Kipper points out there in the chat, maybe this is why comedies and musicals were so popular during and after World War II. I mean, yeah, there weren't a whole lot of grim and gritty World War II movies in the 1940s because who wants to think about that. Right, exactly. And certainly we can, and again, we can look at another data point. We can look and see that during the Vietnam War, when they were showing soldiers,
Starting point is 01:28:15 bodies on television that that is when we start to see the public views on being involved in the Vietnam War start to wane. Yeah. Well, here's a... I have this just in, by the way. Oh, oh, go ahead. Disney just announced that a slew of their upcoming releases, mostly the Marvel films,
Starting point is 01:28:34 have been pushed back a matter of months probably because of the pandemic and stuff like that. Dr. Strange has been moved from March 25th to May 6th, Thor, Levin Thunder, from May 6th to July 8th. Black Panther, which was going to be on July 8th, and now it moves to November 11th. Indiana Jones 5, which was going to be July 29th, moves to the next year, June 30th.
Starting point is 01:29:01 And then some untitled Disney live action movie that was on July 14th has been removed from the schedule. Darn it, because we're all looking forward to that one. Man, the entitled Disney movie is my favorite. Actually, continuing that Marvel's move. Ant Man and the Wasp, Quantum Mania moved. Yeah, that's the problem with the connected universe, right? You affect one and they all trickle down. They all have to do it.
Starting point is 01:29:24 All like dominoes, yeah. Well, plus they can't compete with each other on the weekends, the same weekends and stuff. But here's the thing. Here's what I believe to be true. And I'm not saying this to get a laugh or anyone to give me shit about it. The reason I love Mad Max Fury Road so much is that it's the kind of apocalypse that if we ever get too close to it where it's uncomfortable, we won't have televisions to watch it on anyway. Do you see what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:29:50 To get as bad as things are in George Miller's world, we would have to be to a place where watching Mad Max Fury Road isn't even an option. So that's why it's still the greatest and amazing. And you can watch it anytime no matter what the world's doing. Okay? Right. You'll never be able to watch it on a TV show if the universe goes that way. If it goes that way, we're done with TVs.
Starting point is 01:30:15 TVs are out. There's no film. Again, somebody in the chat said that, oh, the reason why they're moving it is because the production crews are on strike. The IOTC negotiations were passed, I believe, late Saturday, early Sunday, and now it's going to go out to its members to ratify that. But the IOTC spokesperson said that this was kind of like the Hollywood ending that everybody wants in their stories in that they pretty much got everything that they wanted in that. So I don't think that that's the reason. I think that everyone knows the flu season's coming up. Everyone knows that the Delta variant hasn't gone away.
Starting point is 01:30:50 And I think they're just looking at are our theater is going to be as filled as we want it to be? Yeah. I bet they want Indiana Jones 5, though hopefully they're not delaying production too much. Harrison Ford is a national treasure and is getting up there in age. But I bet they want that movie to open at a billion dollars. And if they open it now, we saw with Shang-chi that it maybe get 300, open 300 on the opening weekend, something like that and less. And it's just a month and a half delay for Darkest Tristan.
Starting point is 01:31:18 It's not too bad. It's not a big deal, but I can imagine that they're still keeping that in mind and how do we maximize profit on this thing. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's an interesting time that we're in. I still say the best stuff is happening on home services, including this weekend for Dune! Dune!
Starting point is 01:31:38 You guys, Dune is going to be out on the 22nd. You realize? What? What is this Dune thing? Dune. Oh, is that Dr. Dune? No, Dune. Is this the re-release of the 1980s classic?
Starting point is 01:31:50 Yes, it's that one. Yeah, it's a reboot of the David Lynch. Yeah. Dude, I'm so excited. I will kill him. That's all I can think about right now. We're having a whole viewing party. We're going to have some friends over.
Starting point is 01:32:04 It's going to be great. Kim's making wings. It's going to be super bad. Because you like having that shared experience watching something, right? Exactly. Yeah, but we're doing it here in the house. Yes. We're not going to the theater.
Starting point is 01:32:15 No, but that's, you know, the same argument could be made for why some people like movies and theaters. Yeah, no, exactly. I can understand that. I'm not going to argue on that, Brian. My personal preference is I hate movie theaters with a passion, not because of the experience, but because of the people. Because of other people. Because of other people. Yeah, if my shared experience could always be shared with people I like, then, you know, theaters would be amazing.
