It's TMS for October 26th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Hi, Scott. How are you? I'm good, man. Look, it was a crazy night. I was supposed to be up late playing a video game. I didn't do it. You and me both? Yeah. I went to bed. And very excited, though, because the Guardians of the Galaxy game is receiving pretty high reviews across the board. For sure. Yeah, it seems all right. You played for an hour and a half this morning. I did. Yeah, I had a great time. It was all tutorial mission.

But it introduces you to the play style. You know, you're always Peter Quill, but you tell your buddies, you tell Gomorra Groot, Tracks, and Rocket to do things that help you out. Right. And one of the best things is what's called a huddle. And so you're in the middle of a fight and you're all losing. You huddle up and you have to figure out which motivating speech to give your team to not only restore their health, but also give them a damage boost.

That's fantastic. I understand that so the combat system is a little bit like the remake of Final Fantasy 7 where you kind of, it's not like pausing to tell someone to do something, but time kind of slows down or something? It slows down, yeah, exactly, which is cool. That's really cool. I'm very excited. It's a good way to do it.

Otherwise, you could just treat it as a pause and say, okay, catch my breath out. You go over there. Yeah. I mean, just hearing that Square made a like a, really cool IP game based on Guardians just is a very happy feeling so it is and it makes me feel better after that that uh that Avengers game that was such a disappointment yeah it's such an unfortunate disappointment a bit of a grind that game a lot yes god all right well I'll be playing

that later I got if we get a film second at some point because we're doing film sack early this week yeah we got quite the week coming up Freddie versus the Jason yeah you already watched it I did. Watched it last night. Yeah. And, boy, is it garbage. Yeah. The weirdest thing, though. Yeah.

No, not a spoiler. The weirdest thing is seeing a young, a younger, because this is what, a 2002, 2001 or something, yeah. Yeah, somewhere around there, early 2000s. So it's not that long ago, but a Jason Ritter without longer hair and any facial hair of any sort. Oh. And he looks like. he looks like kind of a goober. Does he look like John Ritter, his dad?

He doesn't, no. No, he looks like standard young adult playing teenager in a horror movie. He doesn't walk in on Chrissy while she's changing or anything like that. He doesn't stumble and drop a bunch of plates and then manage to catch them all and fool Mr. Furley. Oh, that's too bad. It's too bad. Sad to hear that. All right.

I didn't even know Jason Ritter. was in this so this is i didn't either so it was like wait a minute i know that guy and yeah yeah there's there's a couple people like that kelly roland is in there and um there's a dude who plays a cop that you feel like you've seen in everything and i looked him up and it's like yeah okay i didn't know this guy by name but seen him and everything oh yeah and and lots of uh lots of boops oh uh as as referenced by the parents guide on i mdb that that is one of the funniest things i've ever read. Oh, yeah, that was great. We should be a couple of these. These are fantastic. I'm sure they'll come up again next week, but let's see. They're right. In fact, okay, here they are. We put them in Discord yesterday.

Yes. One of them is a young boy lies on a floor, bare buttocks. He is dead. Yeah, no punctuation or anything. A young boy lies on a floor, bare buttocks, he is dead. It's great. How about this one? Man and woman, make out for five seconds tops. You think it's actual parents who write this or just some idiot who writes this? I don't know. I don't know who it is. There was one I didn't put in there that I'm going to pull up right now. And here we go.

It's really funny. I love that. It's such a treasure trove. I don't know what draws me and always look at those. But it's, yeah, because it's completely crowdsource. It's completely, you know. Everybody getting to say what they want to describe the nudity in whatever way they want. All right, here we go.

Nude woman is shown at night, period. Her bare breasts are visible, period. No other nudity but breasts, double exclamation point. Wow. Think of all the parents who are so thankful for this incredible bit of information they just received. That's fantastic. There is tons of bare buttocks shown in this film from both woman and men. Oh, both woman and men?

Both woman and men. Wow, that's a lot of bare buttocks. I hate the term buttocks. I hate it. Yeah, I do too, yes. Hate it. Just say butts. A young man talks about having paid for sex.

Oh, thanks for that warning. Whoa. Was that Jason Ritter? No, it wasn't. It was a kid who was on, a kid who later was on, oh, what was the show? It was one like, oh, yeah, okay, remember that guy. I'll pull it up Mash. Everybody loves Raymond.

Yeah, I said later. I said later he was on the show. Chris Marquette, who was on Barry as Chris Lucado. Like you'd recognize him, you'd recognize him when you see him. Chris Marquette. Oh, yeah, I know who that is. Yeah. Okay. And again, he's another one of these that's like super young actor in this thing for whatever reason,

even though it was only 18 years ago, 17 years ago. Yeah. I mean, I don't like how long ago 2000 is now. No, that's true. It feels longer. It sounds longer ago than it actually is. Yeah. I don't like anything about it, to be honest.

It's all very annoying to me. He's in that new fugitive TV show. I don't know how that is. Yeah, anyone watch that? I don't know. I haven't seen that. I started watching something, got into it for the first episode, and then decided, well, I'm going to look in the,

see uh because it was recommended to me on netflix and then got into rotten tomatoes to see if if it's if it's good and maybe i should have done that beforehand i enjoyed the first episode went to rotten tomatoes like yeah about a 55% on rotten tomatoes i'm like oh do i continue with this i've done that yeah and because you think your your own instincts are good right then you're like oh yeah this seems fine let's get in and then you find out the rest of the world hates it and you're like oh i know i know i think i'm going to continue with that i'm not sure it'll it'll be a recommendal but it's called clickbait and if there's anybody in the chat room who's watched it it's got zoe kazan or uh yeah zoe kazan in it um who i really really like i heard good

things about that i heard that was good click bait yeah it's it's a great premise it's a very very cool premise but the rotten tomatoes is low eh low tomatoes uh yeah let's see claire gack says it's terrible never seen it though okay thanks claire great that helps very helpful yeah The Irish will always help you out of a pit if you're stuck. They'll get you, they'll fix you right there. Cidion says, I think it falls off at the end. Yeah, I'm going to stick with it. I'm going to keep watching it because now I'm curious.

I want to see how it ends. Oh, it's got that Adrian Griner who was Vinnie Chase on Entourage, the main star that everyone that has the entourage. Oh, I never saw Entourage, but I know who you mean. Yeah. You're lucky. Never saw Entourage. I just never crossed my wrist. radar. I never... You didn't want to see a bunch of

bros, uh, sponge off a dude and, uh... No. Okay. Maybe you had me at Sponge off a dude. I don't want that. I don't want that. Spong off a dude. Yeah. Parents guide. Three men sponge off a dude. Bear buttocks are shown. That's right. Red Fragel mentions dope sick. I do want to see that. The Michael Keaton thing. Yeah. Yes. Been hearing great things about that. It's Michael Keaton. It's Michael Leffinkeaton. Yeah. He's great and, uh, yeah, I'm hearing good things about that. Well, I got something good I'd like to read to you, okay?

Oh, please do, yes. I'm under the impression that I may have received the greatest spam message in the history of the medium. Really? Okay. Wow. I received this over Twitter as a DM. My DMs are open, so people can, you know, whoever wants to can just send me a message. Slipped into your DMs and what is slide? They slid into your DMs? Yeah, this guy slid. I assume it's a guy, maybe a robot for all I know, but this,

this entity slid into my DMs and said the greatest thing I've ever heard. Now, there's some people at home, and myself included, I don't like talking about, I try to keep politics out of the main show now, like completely, if possible. Sure. This isn't political. Right, right. All bets are off when jury's on. That's true.

That's true. That's our carte blanche to say, yeah, whatever we talk about is open. Yeah, but keep in mind that this is not a political thing I'm about to read. It just mentions a name that is politically inciting. That's all. Okay? So it's fine. It's not a political post.

I just want that to be clear. You don't have to mute or go away, but I am going to say a name here. Let's see if I could guess what that name is. I am going to do, I'm going to say that person's name, but that's all the reference there is. Okay. All right. Other than it adds to the weirdness, because some of it doesn't make. any sense. All right. So I get this thing from someone named Nico Cat, but most of the

header is in a different language. Actually, it looks like two different languages, two different character types, Asian character types. I'm not even sure which, which is which. But anyway, it says this. Oh, you know what I need for this? I need some background music. It's perfect for this. Hold on. Okay, let's do this right here. Yeah, that's perfect. Okay, here we go. Claire Geckpoints out. Nico is Japanese for cats, so it's kind of redundant. Oh, Cat Cat.

Okay. Wonderful. That makes it even weirder. We're even weirder. You'd think this thing's going to be weird. This is even weirder. All right, here we go. I'm going to play this. Whoops.

All right. I'm not going to do it in the cadence of Dear Martha, but this is the music we're using. Okay. Trump was brainwashed by Abe. So he cannot political task. Please cooperate me. Please cut down Trump's Twitter

account, he is handled by Japanese Korean. If he do political task, our Earth will be the monkey planet. Japanese and Korean use Kodoku easily. This is a brainwash poison. Almost all famous people were brainwashed by poison already, probably 100%. Everyone must know this fact. If you have a business, you must use email and telephone only. Don't meet with them personally. Don't meet with them personality. They are professional prisoner and poisoner and handler. Warning.

For example, Japanese Yomuri newspaper use this poison easily. Korean women too in all caps. This is a love potion. He never escaped from her for life. For example, Miss T. Roke

in nightclub. I'm reading it as is. Miss R. Hold a P.A. and so on. They have many kind of brainwash potions. These potions power are much very strong. Macron has been handled by Japanese and Korean too. Merkel has been handled by Japanese and Korean too.

Probably Trudeau. How can I get handled by Japanese and Korean? Probably Trudeau too. Probably Modi too. Probably. Yeah. Please tell the people are, please tell the people who are

completely unaware this fact and spread S-P-R-E sorry S-P-R-E-D there's no way spread this fact all over world let's release human beings from the control of brainwash

it's pretty good right that's pretty good that's uh wow they they almost got some words in there in the right place and the right tense and uh almost not quite but almost Yeah, somebody missed conjunction junction, what's your function? So I, of course, was a jerk about this and replied.

What did I say? I said, because I wanted to see how far I could take it, right? Yeah, sure. So he sent the first one, and there's a whole second one, and I said, I must know more, tell me more, I said in all counts. Okay, good. And then he said, let's see, we must eradicate brainwash poison before everything else. We must eradicate brain wash brain poison, user master, before anything else.

If you cannot understand what I am saying, you have been brainwashed already, this person says. The people who have been brainwashed escape from this brainwash prison problem. The person, or no, the final thing he says, the people who have been brainwashed already cannot explain rationality when they escape from this brainwash poison's problem. And then I said, what can I do? in all cash. Great. And now your, your, your,

your, your, your, uh, your, uh, name, screen name is getting shared among the, the group. Oh, we've got a live one. Good. Excellent. Yep. Keep going.

Then he says, I want you spread my DM all over world. Except China. I have left this problem in China to Shuzu and Okazan already. O'Cazan is very nice and I trust him. This is secret. I said, You must hurry.

Tell me. me more before it's too late and he says i don't know you i must spread this fact quickly i said burn it all down he said question mark my english level is poor but probably thank you and that's where it ends oh nice wow that's great yeah what a wonderful exchange you kind of you kind of kit boged uh with with dms yeah a little bit that's a good way of putting it but uh yeah they Whoever that is, I don't think you are hearing this, but you're great. Whoever you are, you're great. And I appreciate the exchange.

I'm sure eventually there would have been some sort of fishing attempt or, you know, they're just waiting. But I don't fall for that sort of thing. By Dr. Johnson's brainwash tonic. It's available now. Or later, wash brain tonic. That's right. Wash brain tonic, yes. CVS.

Fantastic work. All right. Also, so last night at 4 o'clock in the morning, I was sleeping really good. I was like, man, I'm tired at like 10. I'm going to bed. I should play Guardians, but I'm not going to. I'm going to go to bed and try to get a good night's sleep for once. Because I haven't had many lately. Don't know why. There's been storms. It rained like a wild thing today. Also, that little bit of carpet's wet again, so now I'm starting to think it had something with rain. Oh, really? Okay, now we're seeing a little pattern. So rain and, uh, you got a leak. Makes me nervous.

So we're going to figure that out today. But what was my point? Oh, so at 4 o'clock in the morning, I wake up to the following sound. Like that. Hmm. Okay. And I kind of ignore it thinking I was just in a weird dream. And about 10 minutes later.

And it sounds like a phone, but in a certain pattern. But I look over and it's not my phone. My phone's not buzzing. My iPad's not buzzing. buzzing. Nothing's, I don't have anything to buzz over there. Sure, sure.

But something's buzzing out loud. Something's buzzing out loud. Tom Merritt, hiding under the bed. And it's, Kim hears it and goes, what is that? I go, I don't know.

Is it your phone? She's like, no. And we hear it a third time. And we can't sleep now because it's weirdness out. Yeah. And I'm up like looking around. I got my flashlight.

I'm like, what is making the sound? We never find it. It never, we still don't know So you still don't know what it is. Oh, man. No, but we're pretty sure it was like SOS type signal.

Oh, like a... Yes. Yes. And we had one of those the day we had the earthquake. And I don't remember... I think it was our phones, though, that did it. But in this case, neither of our phones were doing it. So it's entirely possible.

I'm hearing Carter's phone, which is on a table somewhere, which is reverberating in such a way it sounds like it's in the room. Or maybe I'm hearing... something outside. I don't know, but all I know is because of this. I was up all night. I couldn't go back to sleep because I was freaking out. And it

sounded like SOS Morris Code style code. Right, right. And it was pouring rain during this. Like, we're getting whatever that monsoon that California is hitting us now. It's coming over here. Oh, yeah. We're supposed to get it by the end of the week. Yeah, you'll be getting it too.

We'll try to take the brunt if we can help it. Please do. Yeah, use up as much of it as you can before it comes over the mountains to us, please? Yeah, I'll do all I can, suck the wind out of it. Maybe it was, you know, Morse Cote telling you that Black Bart's coming over the hill in the next train and, uh, maybe.

Gather the, gather the troops. Part of it was like, part of me was like, well, okay, if it's, if it's for the storm, maybe that would make sense. There'd be a, uh, a, uh, a kind of standard warning for storm watch. Right, the national weather services issued a thunderstorm warning or something like that. Yeah, but normally that, But that would come to my phone. My phone has no notifications of that.

It also wasn't buzzing when I'm hearing the buzzing. And her phone wasn't either. And it was in that rhythmic, blz, blz, blz, you know, kind of thing.

And I don't, so I'm out of it. I don't have an answer. I don't know what to even think about it. And definitely sound like it was in the room. Yeah, it absolutely did. Now,

I'm fully aware that sound can like throw itself depending on, you know, frequency and, you know, there's a lot of things it could be. It could be outside for all I know, because I got a window right there next to me,

and there could have been a neighbor being weird. I don't know. But it did absolutely sound like it was coming, not just from the room, but from somewhere on my side of the bed. Did Nick Fury at some point give you a secret pager to use an emergency if, uh, no, is that, by the way,

would that have been a scene from, uh, uh, Captain Marvel? Yeah, that'd be, if that'd be a scene from a movie you haven't seen. Yeah. I knew it was Marvel though, because, because that was the whole, well, you see it at the end of Infinity War. Yeah, yeah. that pager. Yeah, when they're getting dusted, it's right there. So I made

it an assumption, but yes, I still have that thing of shame. I need to watch it. But anyway, I still don't know, I don't know what it was. I don't like it. And then when we come down and find a little dampness down here, I'm all kinds of paranoid. Yeah. All right. Yeah, no, that's, that's weird.

I had a less weird day. I mean, I still, I slept really well. I was going to do the Guardians thing less than myself, but yesterday did a 30 minutes in front of the fitness Apple TV Plus thing, fitness plus, whatever they call it. And then immediately decided, oh, I'm exhausted from doing that. I'm going to go outside and deal with the leaves because we've had some wind. Our tree is probably, maybe has about a quarter of its leaves still on there and the rest of them are all on our grass.

Sure. I thought, all right, I'll deal with that now. And I decided to do something that the neighbor, that craziness, neighbor Dave had done, and he swears by it, and I think, that can't be the most efficient way to do it. So what he does, and what I did yesterday is I take our leaf blower. I start at one end of the lawn, and then I go back and forth and, like, basically move all the leaves onto the sidewalk and then the street.

Oh. Then I get out the lawnmower and put a bag attachment on the back of it and go back and forth over the pile of leaves and vacuum the leaves basically and vacuum the leaves right because they're all going in the bag and then when that thing fills up dumping in a garbage bag

keep doing that and then keep blowing it back into a little central circle or a central little pile until all that's left on the street is just a little bit of leaf dust now the whole thing

the whole process took about an hour and I think I could have raked them and put them into a bag a lot a lot quicker. Here's where things were way more efficient. And Bobby asks, why not just run them over the yard? Because I don't want those little crunched up leaf pieces that

don't go into the bag in the lawn causing there's like a thing that if you get too much of that in your lawn it mats the grass down when the snow comes and the rain comes and

mats that like it keeps the grass from going the right way. Oh, interesting. We do that very thing. I wondered that. I wondered that myself if we could do that. Yeah, we literally do that. We mow them up like we're mowing. We raise the blade some, so we're not just like, you know, wrecking the whatever length we are on the lawn, but we just basically vacuum it up that way. And as far as I know, we've never had any problems, but I was also curious about that. Yeah. We had, basically, we did that one year, right,

where we just mowed it and all the leaf pieces went back in. And then we end up having to de-thatch the lawn the following spring because all that stuff and out of the grass down to the point where it grew and kind of retangled itself. So, wait, did you use a bag or you guys just mow and let the pieces stay? Like, just mulch it out. Like, when we did the backyard this last time, we used the bag. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. No, and, you know, people are like, oh, yeah, no, it's, the leaves are good for the grass. They are to some degree, but not, not all the leaves. Not in volume, yeah. Some leaves and some leaf crunchings are fine, but yeah, the year that we decided we would just mow the lawn and get the leaf pieces that way. We ended up having to thatch the next year. We never did that again. We haven't had to defatch or is it just thatching or is it defatching?

D-thatching. D-thaching. That sounds familiar. De-thatching. Yeah. Oh, I-Corps, yeah. Grass needs sun. Leaves block sun.

That's a good way to put it. So anyway, I'm not sure if it's the most efficient way to do things. It's the way we decided to try it. It took a little bit longer than I thought it would, but boy, it is satisfying. It's like one of those YouTube videos of satisfying things to watch. Oh, yeah. And the leaf blower, you know, just moving a whole wall of leaves towards the street. Very, very satisfying.

You should have moved them all to Dave's yard. That's what you should have done. Just dump right into Dave's yard. I could well. And he's, and I'm looking at it right now, the wind's blowing and our lawn is getting covered with leaves, and it's blowing from his tree on ours. That's the other problem is you do this, and then you think, all right, I think that might be the last big one, and then a big wind thing comes through, and now you're all covered

in leaves again. That's right. His tree's a little bit healthier than ours, and he still has, I would say half of his tree still has leaves on it. Some green. A lot of them are yellow, and then there's a lot on the ground, but I think we're going to be doing this a few more times. Maybe he and I just need to get together and do it simultaneously, get it all, both of our

yards out to the street and then that's probably where the efficiency comes but here's here's the best part is now i have garbage bags that are like 80 pounds because they are all the most compressed tiniest leaf pieces as opposed to yeah they're heavy they're dense they are dense yeah because you can fit so much more in there now you know yeah that's great uh you ever okay i feel this temptation almost every time i look at my yard uh-huh but i am tempted every year after a bunch of dealing with grass in the late summer and trying to conserve water and have yellow splotches where the water's not reaching and all that. And then you got leaves to deal with in the fall and all that.

And then the winter comes, you're like, man, that snow really sat in that corner for too long and that sort of thing. Every year I go, maybe we should just zero-scape the shit, you know? Just go full like we live in Phoenix. Just tear out all the grass and make some nice rock gardeny stuff with some maybe some flower beds to break. things up, put some steps in there. Like, just go full zero-scape. You ever want to do that? You want to just like...

I've thought about that. And we took out a lot of our lawn to put in a retaining wall and Tina's got some plants in there. So a good quarter of our lawn now is in a retaining wall with some just some some Tina's plants and flowers in it. It goes around our tree. And that helped a lot with like how much mowing and stuff we had to do. Can Dave grow his own weed? Can he do his own?

Because you have a, isn't the rule in Arizona, or sorry, Colorado that you, weeds legal recreationally and medicinality, but isn't there also a thing that says you can make, you can grow like four plants yourself or something? Yeah, you have a, there's an amount you can grow. I don't think he's growing any of this year. He was last summer. He was growing his own. Nice.

And, uh, um, you have a limit on how much you can grow. And I think the rule is you also can't sell it. Unless you have a license to sell it. Probably couldn't sell it, yeah. Yeah. Well, it just seems like something Dave would do. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, it is something he has done and probably will do again.

Having only hung out with the man twice, I think, at the BlizzCon that one time and then dinner there. Forget about Blizcon, yeah. Yeah, he showed. He was there for some other conference or something? There was something going on. Yes, yeah, they had a conference going next door at the Marriott next door to the Blizcon. And he's walking around that place looking at us and all that was going on. He thought it was just a bunch of aliens, man.

That was hilarious. He did. It was like, it was such a great experience to like watch him see a world that's completely normal and run in the middle to us. And he's like, there's some dude dressed like an orc and a mage over there, except he didn't call them orcs and mages. It was like, you know, ogres and magic women or something like that. Exactly. Well, you know, yards, man. They're pain in the ass, is the point. Yards are paining the ass. Yeah. Lennonade says, yard maintenance is an imposition by people. Let's see. I can't read it because this moved. Hold on. There it is. Empower requiring residents to beautify for the sake of homogene. It's literally a keeping up with the Johnsons. Excuse me. Jones is the Joneses. It's one of the Johnsons. It's keeping up with the Joneses. Let's get our idioms straight here.

I take offense to anyone trying to keep up with us, because right now our lawn is kind of brown and shitty-looking, so. Yeah. You know what? I appreciate Lennonade more and more in the chat room, because he, no matter what opinion we have, he always is there to just show the differing opinion, the opposite opinion.

To come from the other side. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. I don't know why Dice to me. I mean, we could say, I could say, oh, I love Lennonade 3,000. He'd return back and say, no, you don't. He's a puppet of the political awareness.

He's a pupate of the leftist. That's right. Exactly. No. And Sam Jane, I miss those days. Like when I, I mean, we have a small yard now, so it's not as big a deal as it used to be. But gosh, dang it, dude. Yard stuff.

Sam, for the listeners, Sam Jane just said, I live an apartment. No lawn to look after. Yeah. Which is nice. Which is nice. Quick email from Brian from Denver, not you, a different Brian. Not me. Oh, there's another one.

us? There's another Brian in Denver. He says, hi, Scott. Apologies. If you've already gotten feedback on this, you can read the wiki on this, but basically the CGI was added later. He's talking about me and my review, my recommendal rather, of the thing remake or

prequel. Right, okay. Right, the thing prequel thing. Yeah, and I was talking about how the CGI was bad, but when they would do practical stuff, it looked great, and why was that a problem? Well, it turns out, they basically added the CGI later, It says, I'm not sure if it was a producer, the studio, or whatever, but that was a bad decision.

Also, the very end was changed from the original idea. The sad part is that amalgamated dynamics, creature shop run by Tom Woodruff and Alec Guinness, and former Stan Winston guys, that's who they are. Created a bunch of amazing practical effects for the movie. You can probably find some picks online. I'll go one better. Somebody sent me a whole YouTube video reel of the original effects that were in the thing, and they're cool, man.

like who oh you know tvs travis sent me that it was your video Travis it's this really cool look at the the practical effects so there's this creature that's like a two-headed person it's like merged and they're crawling on their back like backwards toward you and the CG on it looked like a video game and just did not look good sure uh the practical effects that they showed in the video that i saw that was that the tvs Travis sent me was awesome like such a cool looking practical effect of those two guys and their heads mushed together and I can't believe they went to all that expense

and didn't freaking use it. So, so yeah, Brian from Denver's right. I think, yeah, regular practical effects sometimes are just so much cooler and look so much more visceral and real. Yeah, just use it. If they're good, they're good, so use them. I don't know why they felt like they had to do the CG stuff.

It makes me sad. All right. That's all she wrote, man. We had a lot to talk about this morning. So it's time for us to get to the important stuff. That is today's morning news. It is the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by this place Scott wants to tell us about,

hey, Scott, tell me more about the Hall Pass. All right, so there's this place down in the Gateway Mall, outdoor mall thing downtown, downtown Salt Lake City, right by the old Grand Station, train station thing, called Hall Pass. And I hadn't heard of it. My wife had found it with some friend of hers. Maybe it was my son.

I don't remember because he lives down there now. But anyway, it's, it first sounds bad because you're like, Hall Pass, what is it? Oh, it's like a food court. And I'm already like, eh, I can go to any food court and get Chick-fil-A or freaking, you know, free samples at the Chinese walk or whatever. Doesn't sound good, right? Food courts, blah, generally.

Right, yeah. But this one, this Hall-Pass thing, which is down in the base of this right the movie theater is this big space and it's a giant collection of like actual good restaurants like good dining hall yeah so like one place had uh swordfish was their thing of the day uh the thing next to it were these insane chicken tender things i didn't even know how to describe these they were so freaking good and it was like 10 bucks it was a little pricier than what you expect but amazing chicken tenders the place next to that had lobster rolls, which are kind of to die for.

It was amazing. So all I'm saying is if you live in SLC and you're downtown, you need a quick place to go, they still treat it like a food court, except all the tables are carved out of wood. It's like fancy. But they have every kind of, any kind of food you'd want in there. You can pick and match whatever you want. They give you a little buzzer. You go sit down.

When it buzzes, you go get your food. And then you eat it like you're in a mall food court sort of. But it's really clean and nice and fancy. up and I was blown away by this. So this is your first dining, the first dining hall you've been to. I mean, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, we've got like six of them in Colorado. I took my cousins to one Saturday night

called Milk Market here in Denver. And I'm looking at the restaurants. It's funny. Every single dining hall I've ever seen has a hot chicken place, a Nashville hot chicken place. Yeah, that's the rule, right? You got to do that. This one's got a blaze of thunder. It must be a rule. We had a bow place in mine. I actually, mine had a pokey bowl, which

is what I ended up having. Tina had pasta. But it's so, it's such a great, you know, so much better than a food court as far as like the food quality is way better. And just the experience overall doesn't feel like you're

in a big cafeteria with a Sabarrow and an Orange Julius and yeah. That's who you said it really well. It's, oh, there it is. Blazing Thunder. It's a Nashville hot chicken place. Yeah. They have two bars as well

So you've got to be 21 to be in parts of this place It was so cool I didn't know that was a thing This is new to me Yeah there's there's one that they're working on That is a mile north of us And I can't wait for it to open up And you know, go up there for lunch

But they've been they have been cropping up like crazy There's one over here in Golden There's one in Edgewater where I lived as a kid Denver is And they're at least the one I took my cousins too is all owned by one guy Boninot concepts or it's all it's this guy Frank Bonino who's kind of a local quote unquote celebrity chef he's had a bunch of really good restaurants in Denver individual restaurants and so here they just kind of got got them all

together and uh that's great so he's so he organized it or he organized it and uh it's funny the first time we went there was me and crazy neighbor and we came in from Another part that we thought was part of the same restaurant group, apparently was not. And we brought our drink in there. And this guy comes up, says, oh, you can't bring your alcohol from the restaurant from the hotel into here. And they just reached over behind the bar of one place, grabbed one of their glasses, poured our drinks from our glasses into their glasses. You're all set. Then he walks away.

And Dave says, you know that it was. That was Frank Bonanow. Oh, no way. That's great. That's great. That's very cool, actually. So this logo for this place looks like ham pass. It does or howl pass.

That does not say hall pass to me. And I don't know why they... The two Ls are upside down. I don't know why they did it that way. Why not flip the Ls? You still get that same box look. Yeah, like a haul. It still work, right?

I don't know why they did that. It says hand pass or hard pass. Hard pass. My only complaint about it. Otherwise, that stuff is rad, and I feel like a noob, not knowing this was a trend, but I really like it. Oh, they're great. Yeah. Anyway, go check it out, you guys. Ham pass.

Or sorry, Halpass. Yeah. I don't even know why it's called Hall Pass. It's a weird. Because it's a dining hall. Oh, is that why? Yeah. So when I think dining hall, I think of some ancient-ass, like, you know, Friars Club freaking buffet.

Right. Or, like, something your guild goes to in the current MMO you're playing. Oh, we need to go. Let's meet at the dining hall before I. adventuring. Yeah, it's a weird thing you don't hear about. It's basically it's basically the new food court, the new

the new and better improved food court. Hell of a lot better than any food court I've been to. For sure. All right, we got a very confused governor in the news. Governor Mike Parson, Missouri governor. He's a Republican Missouri governor.

Says looking at web pages HTML as criminal hacking. Hey, you guys Guys, don't view source. You might be criminally hacking. Governor Mike Parson is sick and tired of all these sophisticated, no-good hackers, and he's not going to take it anymore. It's too bad that the Missouri governor has no idea what he's talking about.

Doing a Thursday press conference, the confused elected official lashed out at a journalist who reported a vulnerability in the official department of elementary and secondary schools websites, website, rather. The reporter notably waited until officials fixed the air before publishing the story. The flaw, the website apparently included teacher's social security numbers in the HTML code. So just raw text, pure text, not, you know, none of this is encrypted. We're talking about HTML.

HTML is the final destination. It is the final output of what you're doing. Any kind of code you're doing behind the scenes, whatever you're eventually pushing out is HTML. If they put those card numbers, those social security numbers somehow in there, Whether just manually or otherwise dynamically generated, once it's HTML, you view it everywhere from everything. That's the rule. That's how it works. View source and you can see it all.

It's not hard to do. Anyway, during a press conference, or no, in this press conference he says, there's no private information. Or say, sorry, though no private information was clearly visible nor searchable on any of these web pages, the newspapers found that teacher's social security numbers were contained in the HTML source code and the pages involved, said the same. They also found that I used open sands as my headline font. How did they do that? These monsters! The newspaper was the, sorry, what is it, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

You go to that? You ever been there? I've been there. Yeah, totally been there. They were a customer. I didn't install there. Did you, did you, I don't know, screw around. I didn't go up to Gateway Arch that trip.

Oh, yeah, but you didn't screw around with their HTML code to include a bunch of social security numbers. I totally did. Yeah. What do you think all these things ended up? Drivers license numbers, uh, mothers maiden names. Uh, sure. Sure. Sure. Why not? Um, all right. It says here, uh, let's see. Whoops. I lost my place. There we go. Uh, the state is committing to bringing to justice. Anyone who hacked our system and anyone who aided or encouraged them to do so in accordance with what Missouri laws allowed and requires, wrote Parson. He's very upset that somebody

viewed source, which anyone. can do from any browser anywhere. Exactly. Maybe the problem is coming from inside the house. And before you send your emails, this guy could have been a Democrat, a Green Party member. I don't care what he is. This is dumb as shit. It has nothing to do with his political affiliation. He's just dumb. Okay? All politicians are dumb. This one in particular is being very dumb. He just happens to be a Republican. Keep your emails to yourselves. It's not a biased article. All right. Yes. A man. not the same man, different man, but a man was covered in poop after a passing plane dumped toilet waste on his backyard.

Oh, God. Yeah. This has got to be your worst fear. It's not my worst fear, but because I don't think the likelihood is high. But it is, it is on, it's got to be on the list of like the top 15 things you never want to have done to you, you know? Yeah, yeah. It's got to be that. I'd put it in the top five.

Well, that's pretty good. It's up there. I can try to think of what would be worse. Yeah. You're right. Hold on. Let me think. I mean, other than things that cause pain or death, you know, rule those out. This is like, it's, it's, it's way up there. Yeah. Real quick correction here. Diddy does game, says, not dumb, just uneducated saying that about the governor.

Okay. All right. Okay. Maybe before you do your big, here's what makes him dumb. Do you, do you work out you over there in the St. Louis government system there, Diddy? and I'm not giving him any heat. What I'm saying is here's what makes him dumb as opposed to just simply uneducated. Uneducated is not knowing what a diner hall is until Brian tells me. And then I go, oh, interesting.

Well, from now on, I'll know. What's dumb is a governor who has all the resources in the world to find out how this stuff really works to just go ahead and jump to putting the letter out anyway saying all this dumb shit without ever checking any of it. That's dumb. Not knowing what HTML is and how it works.

That's uneducated. Following through with your dumb email or your dumb statement, that's dumb. That's what I'm saying. That's the dumb part. Standing under the flight path of the United 757 on its way to poop town is dumb. That's right. That's dumb. Yes.

And doubling down is dumb. That's the other one that's dumb. Oh, yeah. Anyway, this guy, he's enjoying the sun in his backyard in Windsor at Southeast England there. Okay, sure. When a passing plane drop to toilet waste ball. thing, chunk, unit. On him and his garden furniture,

local counselor said. It dumped it on me and my garden furniture. Garden furniture. The unfortunate incident, which a plane to starch sewage, took place in July, according to the minutes read at the Royal Borough of Windsor

and Maidenhead's most recent aviation forum. Geez. The whole garden was splattered in a very unpleasant way, said Karen Davis. Yes. As opposed to splattered it in a very pleasant way. He was out in his garden at the time,

and it was really horrible, horrible experience, says the local lawmaker. The whole garden, garden umbrellas and him were covered in poop. Davies explained, it's absolutely dreadful, she said during the meeting. So there were several incidents during the year where frozen sewage was dropped along flight routes in Windsor on the path to London's Heathrow Airport,

which is about eight miles away from the historic town. I can say, with 100% accuracy, I have never contributed to any frozen waste being dropped from a plane, not once. I don't pee on planes. I don't poop on planes. It's never happened. I went to Japan and didn't pee poo for 12 hours. It has to really. Even on those longer flights.

Nope, I locked up like a camping mojo, man. I didn't have to go at all. Wow. I was no way I was going on that plane. Oh my gosh. Not a chance. And as soon as I got there. I mean, I hate pooping on a plane just because those rooms are so small.

But I don't mind peeing on a plane. on a plane all day long. When I got on to, when I got to Hong Kong. So that's where room me a seat in the whole aircraft, unless you're the pilot. That's right. You can really lean back in there. Yeah. I know as soon as I got to Hong Kong, I wrecked some hotel bathroom.

But up until then, I wasn't going. All right. There's that story. We got time for one more, it looks like. Sometimes I just drive to the airport, book a flight just to go on and pee on the plane and then get back off and back down the jetway and go home. Yeah. That's the kind of peer of Brian is. He's happy.

to use your plane for whatever. Sometimes I get on top of the plane and pee on it. Yeah. Best place to do it. Space Tourism Company has canceled its launch to space because it couldn't find any passengers who wanted to go tour space. Oh, no. I'm guessing it was probably the price tag more than people who didn't want to go to space.

Yeah, because I want to go to space, but I don't want to pay that kind of money. Yeah. So I know that that's probably it. Anyway, it says, and what could be seriously a serious reality check for the Buzzfield Space tourism industry. Its most established player says it had to cancel its upcoming launch with SpaceX because it couldn't find anybody to go. Basically, they weren't sufficiently wealthy. The mission was marketed to a large number of our prospective customers, but ultimately the mix of price, timing, and experience wasn't right at that particular time in our contract with SpaceX expired.

Company spokesman Tracy Turn told the space news, we hope to be revisiting the offering in the future. If that's your whole business, you're not having business, right? Yeah, yeah. Adjust your prices. Sufficiently wealthy. Geez, I hate that term. That's a horrible term. Are you sufficiently wealthy?

Oh, good, you can go to space. Oh, then you can't go to space. No, no. Freaking forget it. Final story, Nightmare in Elm Street House listed for $3.5 million. Oh, wow. Are you sufficiently wealthy for that? Does it still have bars on the windows?

Let's see. There's a picture. Oh, good. I don't know. Does the front door have a window that's big enough to pull in a large woman, suck in a large woman? Does the phone still have a tongue that comes out of it? Let's see. Can you look at Johnny Depp from across the street with binoculars?

No kidding. I always forget he's in that until you remind me. Yeah. There's the house. It looks like it's changed some. It has. Totally. I would not recognize this.

is the Nightmare and Elm Street house. No. It says the Los Angeles home from the 1984 movie A Nightmare on Elm Street has been listed for sale in time for Halloween with an asking price of $3.5 million. The three-bedroom Spalding Square House listed in realty, I don't care about them, was purchased previously for $2.1 million in 2013 by Hustler's Director, Lauren Scafari. Wait, hustler's director.

Yeah, the movie with Cardi B and JLo. Oh, a thing I've never seen Probably never will see that I don't think I'm not saying it's bad I just I can't imagine a night where I'm like You know what I'm in the mood for

Hustlers It was um We watched it because it was nominated Oh did it win something I dropped the paper of my splindapacket Into my coffee and I had to find something To fish it out with And the best I could do was

A magic wand How did it go? Did it go? It went well Wow I said abracadabra and it came out A bunch of flowers didn't go right into your coffee. Now there's a rabbit in there.

Oh, shit. Dang it. Stupid magic wand. So Hustlers wasn't a bad. I don't know anything about it. It was good. It was basically about a stripper who teaches a new, a newbie, the ins and outs of the stripper industry, including the crime behind it and that sort of thing. And Cardi B was a stripper?

Or what was she doing there? Cardi B was a stripper. She's barely in it. I mean, she's in there for, you know, an eighth of the movie. It's really about J. Lo and this other woman. She showed up just in time to go, coronavirus!

Coronavirus! She's famous for yelling that for some reason. Oh, really? Okay. I don't know what it's from. She had some rant, and they capture her yelling coronavirus, and now it gets used in, like, music mixes and TikTok videos. Well, and then Mickey Minaj did the whole, my cousin's, husband's, boyfriend's, babysitter,

blew it as testicles from the vaccine. Yeah, didn't that turn out, I thought, uh, that turned out to be some STD or something, didn't it? Well, it certainly wasn't a vaccine. Probably was something like that. Yeah. If there were, if there were even testicles at all. Yeah, if there were ever a pair of nuts, we'll never know. Right. Exactly. Anyway, uh, this thing's three bedrooms. Very nice. Two story house, uh, served as

protagonist Nancy Thompson's home in West Craven's classic slasher film and was the location of the character's final showdown. with the iconic serial killer... Natsy! Frederick. Frederick Kruger himself. It's so much fun bringing this house to market during a historic real estate inventory shortage, says,

says listing agent. That annoys me. That really annoys me. That house appears, whether it's the real one or not, does appear in Freddie v. Jason. Oh, really? Yeah.

Oh. I wonder what this house was worth in 84, they don't say. oh i don't know maybe a hundred grand because that's how things have changed they've changed a lot that amount of time yeah all right that's the news and uh we're going to take a break when we come back

The first of which is the new single we're going to be playing here.

Justin Robert Young joining us from his beautiful studio in downtown. That's probably not downtown. Austin, Texas. Uptown, Austin, Texas. No, South Austin. All right. South Austin, right. The place you want to be, I say.

How far are you from the closest underground records? Do you know where that is? I don't know, brother. I'll text you my address. You tell me. Records. What are records? You mean people go to a place to buy records?

Yeah, what are our records? Justin's had all his expunged. Don't worry. How close are you to the nearest torches? That's probably a better... Oh, torches. Oh, we are betwixt two torches. Whoa.

Twix two torches. We are near their location on, well, one of their locations on South Amar and then another one that's a little bit closer to it. It's great having you here so soon after your premiere as a Duke Leto in the I'll tell you what you know a dune

for whatever you think of it it's been great for myself confident yeah, but it has look at you man you can say you're old hunky

Oscar Isaac and I'm like all right I'm with them I mean that's the first thing my wife said we're watching it we got friends over we had chilly night and made a big deal out of it

and had it up there on the big screen and they get to the graveyard place where they're talking, him and his son. And Kim goes, oh, my gosh, that's Justin. And I went, oh, my gosh, you're right. It totally is Justin. And sure enough, kind of spitting image for Oscar Isaac and this thing. Oscar Robert Isaac, we now call him.

Yeah. It does better for people who look like Justin than it does for bald fat guys, unfortunately. Just so you know, Abbott, in the same weekend that everybody's, sending me like all these big heroic shots of Oscar Isaac and then also he's been doing a lot of press there's also another round of him being like casual and looking cool I also got a picture of somebody apparently I am the spinning image of somebody on a box of depends oh wow nice all right good well there's balance in the universe yeah well Brian you were great as baron harconin as well I thought you really was and it you know it was great is that I got to eat as much

as I want during the shoot. Yeah. Yeah, you can tell. More Pikachu Oreos, please. All right. Well, aside from that, we are actually going to talk a little bit about Dune, but not maybe in the way people think, no, this isn't going to be a big political discussion or anything.

But as it turns out, Justin really enjoyed the movie. So did we. I really enjoyed it, like a lot. So, all right, June versus Mad Max, where you're at? I'm right there together. They're up on the same shelf hanging out. No, only one can live. There can be only one.

That's what people keep saying. You decide whether or not one lives or both dies. Wow. Right now. I can't do that. That's very kill. Mad Max, Waterworld, and Dune. You got to put Blade Runner 2049 in there.

I love that movie, too. Oh, that's the third. I'm sorry. Blade Ritter, 249, Dune. How disrespectful to Mad Max that you didn't even give it like a warming period with Dune? I mean. Like, that you're not even like, you're not even like, like, I don't know. I got to wait six months because you're,

You've been talking about Mad Max for however long since it came out. You're like, really, day one? I mean, all right, look. If I didn't even say, I think we need to see other movies is the problem. If you said to me, all right, if you said to me, Scott, only one can survive. Yeah. You're taking the Chris knife, Christ knife, or however you say it, to the neck of the other. Yeah.

I mean, keep in mind, these are all hanging out in the same balcony, these three movies. They're my genre movies of the last 20. years i love them i'm not putting water world in there i'm putting these just these two i'm saying these two i'm saying these two well and i like blade runner just as much but let's just say it's these two they're the only two that exist in this vacuum i haven't heard you talk about blade runner 25 you you missed those episodes because i wouldn't shut up about it i love that movie okay well nobody has uh scott loves blade runner memes no exactly there's not a counter for resetting any time blade runners brought all right if i had to slit the throat of one in favor the other

Dune versus Mad Max. Probably Dune gets the knife. I love it. I think that's the right way to say it. The right way to say it is for now. Look, in six months, you'll see how much you still think of Dune because you never stop thinking about Mad Max.

So this is a high bar to clear. It's not an insult to do. No, I get that. Plus, you know, if this thing gets a second part, which is insane to me that it's not greenlit, which is kind of part of our discussion today. The, you know, that may change things too. because that's more like, you know, this is a first half of a full experience.

I mean, depending on how deep they want to go, you know, the first toenail of a gigantic body. Well, that's true, yeah. I ended up starting to read the first book again yesterday. I got in the tub and read about 12 pages of Dune. Now, that's a mental picture. I forgot how much I liked that series. I just, I read it when I was way young as like 15 or 16. Dub-dub. Dune in the tub. Remember when I asked to borrow your copy of Dune? I'm going to go ahead and cancel that request.

It's a digital Kindle copy. You'll be fine. It's not so bad. Remember that time I asked to borrow your Kindle? I'm not going to do that. Yeah, I was going to say. It's the device you want to avoid at this point. But anyway, what do we know? Do you think that's weird, Justin, that this thing had a really great weekend, especially considering that we're still sort of in this weird movie time. It's showing at home, too, all that. It did real well. Why, how can you put part one on the thing and not know that you're not even, you know, locked for a two? That seems crazy. I hated that element of it. Like the fact that it shows up and it's part one and you're like, oh, you son of a bitch. Like you're like, this was not marketed as Dune Part 1. Oh, really? You didn't know that ahead of time?

I knew it, but I knew it, but it wasn't marketed that way. You're right. I did know it. Gotcha. And like it was in articles. It wasn't called Dune. It wasn't called Dune. It wasn't called Dune part one.

On the beginning part, like it wasn't Dune welcome to Iraqis. It was a Dune. And so it's like, okay, sure. But to then on the title card say Dune Part 1, I think you need to, because otherwise it would lead people with a sour taste in their mouth. And I do think that for some folks that have no idea with this story isn't granted, look, we're talking to a geek audience here. So I might even just, I might be the asshole for not knowing it walking in. But to average people, did normies? Like, it's really annoying that if they like this movie that the next one might not come for three years.

Tina had no idea. So when that title card appeared and we're watching that, she's like, oh, this is part one? When's part two coming out? I don't know. No idea. Nobody knows. And that's frustrating. He said Warner Brothers had, you know, and legendary pictures had a year extra time.

to say, you want to know what? We're just going to have to sack up and say that we're going through with this, even though the movie business is unsteady, what we're going to need coming out of it are hits, hits and franchises. Well, guess what? They got one.

Big, honking, science fiction, hot cast, a gigantic world science fiction, a franchise, like what people are begging for, right? And now just, say we're going to get another one and say we're going to get another one stressed because like what's bothersome is is that God knows

where even with the cast that you know would theoretically be in a part two although who knows in a world where you know getting space high lets you conquer you know time of how many actors are and aren't going to be involved

in another in another movie but like that's a hard cast to wrangle Timothy Shalame himself Zendaya herself is really, really hard to wrangle. And if they're going to be the key elements of a part two, what are you waiting for? I mean, I assume that they have conversations that are ongoing about this, but like, it doesn't bode well that all the heat that will be generated from this, you know, is going to be God knows where in three years. You know, it's only, the only thing worse than slapping a part one on the title card when most people, I will agree

with you, like, mainstream-wise, didn't know. I read a lot of stuff, so I knew it before, but a lot of people didn't. The only thing worse than that is if they didn't do that. Because if you didn't put it there, this movie ends the way that, like, Fellowship of the Ring ends, where Frodo and Sam are going to go somewhere and you're like, well, shit, that's where this ends. And you knew that was a trilogy and that annoying people. It means almost exactly like Fellowship.

It did. There's a fight that kind of means something because you need a fight that kind of mean something and then at the end the main character says well the adventures begun like like daddy villeneuve like like that's pretty much it for both of them yeah so if they hadn't put that there i would have been more annoyed because i think that's just and also or like i don't know i mean to me it would have made the film materially better if you would have had part two coming next summer, right? I agree, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

you had to get your financial ducks in a row. I don't know what's feasible, it's not feasible, but it's like, ideally, if you would have been like part two next summer, part two, 2023, something like that, I feel like that would have made the movie better. Yeah, now remember, we have a recent historic example of this working and working well in the, in two, ways. One, they didn't market it as

two movies. They marketed it as one. And then they changed that very last second and also well, I'm talking about end game and an Infinity War. And they did a really masterful job of it. But the part where you stick the landing

is saying, yeah, that next one's less than a year away. Yeah. That's how you do that. There is a finish line in sight. Yeah. Had they not done that? Imagine Infinity War the way it ended with a, and if it was now with a question mark about production and nobody knows if it's greenlit. What a terrible

ending to that movie, you know? Because everyone's like turned to dust. That was a story that was 10 years in the making the most ambitious thing that's ever been done in the history of movies that had such a broad international audience that was so hungry to see a big resolution to it that to say it's going to be two movies was an excitement. It wasn't like a cash soak in the same way that, you know, maybe some of the Harry Potter's or stuff like that were, you know, when they split those up. And this is, look, it's a meal. Like, you eat around

the edges. Like, that is a movie that for as much ground as they cover, it's a two and a half hour movie that never feels like it's really going all that slow. You're never far away from a big thing happening. You're never far away from a big scene happening. It really is. It really is. is a remarkable script, considering the fact that Dune, which is not known as one of the more accessible science fiction literary franchises, that is very accessible. That's Game of Thrones accessible. And if you, you know, the difference between the Game of Thrones books and the Dune books are, you know, there's a lot more stuff to process in the Dune books. In the way the Game of Thrones, while the world building is dense, you always know where the four lights are.

You always know where the main characters are. Right. um that was the most accessible dune has ever been oh by far yeah yeah it was uh visually amazing i'm looking forward to seeing it again on a big screen because i now understand why everybody's like gotta see it on a big screen yeah i love to see it in i max i do think and this is not a criticism of the movie per se but more deli denny velinov himself i think he kind of has a bit of an issue and nolan has this too where everyone's lit well. Everyone's obviously acting really well, but they never really get super charismatic performances

out of very charismatic actors. Everyone kind of seems a little reserved. I think that's true here and Blade Runner. I think it's different in Sicario. I would argue is different than that, but that's also a very, very, very different movie. That's a different movie. But I would even say arrival.

Arrival has the same thing. Yeah, that's true. Everyone's kind of very wistfully staring at things a lot. Yeah, there's just an element of reserve, right? Sure. Which is just different than some other directors. But that being said, everybody was amazingly cast. Yeah, I agree.

I love the fact that Jason Mamoa and Dave Batista are a part of the cast, just because they're just two of my favorites. It was great. Brian, you said it the other day. He said, we could have had a fight between Aquaman, Draks, the Destroyer, Thanos. And Mary Jane Watson. Yeah. There's a whole bunch of MCU and DCU people in this thing,

which I'm all about. But, you know, some people I forgot were in it. Like I was talking about Javier Bardem just showing up. I'm like, oh, shit, he's in this. I forgot. He's in this. Like, I loved moments like that in the movie. And they were also kind of, you know,

they weren't scene stealing, casting. They just felt right. Everybody felt right. And I'm not, I was so skeptical. It was a star-studied cast. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

One of the first times that I was watching a movie with Ashley who's not super plugged into pop culture. And she was just like, oh, Batista. Oh, Zendaya. Oh, who's that? Thanos.

Thanos. Like, the, the thing about it was, um, was I went into it with these, expectations. I didn't know if I was going to like this Timothy Shalamee kid

in it. I just didn't know if that was going to do it for me. And I don't know why I thought that or what ideal was. He just seemed like kind of a weirdo emo kid in interviews and just not interesting in a way that I wanted this character to be interesting. And I think he is the, he's the best Paul they've ever had.

He's very, very good. It's enough to make me forget that he effed a peach and call me by your name. That happened? That was a thing? That was a thing. Yeah, come on. man get on the internet i don't know anything about that that's the first time hearing of that that sounds terrible you can do that in a double feature with hustlers watch a boat back to back back to back as a real sexy saturday night for scott but it just okay but back to the original point like the movie

the way it ends is 100% have to make a follow-up if you don't yeah this is a crime like you can't leave it like that. You can't have them go, all right. Off we go. We finally met the girl of my dreams and now we're going to go ahead with what? You can't leave us there. We know what if we're reading books, but not everybody's read these books. Like that would piss me off so bad.

And if they take three years to do it, that's too long. Yeah. It was kind of like when they gave us the promise of. It's not going to happen sooner. That doesn't happen sooner. Right. Denny Villeneuve does not direct a movie. that movie sooner they don't get that cast together sooner uh they don't get those effects where

they need to get those effects sooner like it is three years minimum i don't want to wait that long that's too long that's well when we this like i am remember when we thought we were going to get three uh daniel craig steeglarsen uh adaptations the girl with the dragon tattoo and oh it looked like it was going to be a great series from uh fincher and uh nope just got the first one and and that's all she wrote. That one didn't do super well, right? It didn't. No. And that was, yeah, that's part of the problem. This one seems like it did, it did good. And I think that, you know, if I'm in those rooms

with Warner Brothers and legendary, I'm saying, look, this did well considering the weird time. I don't know what their payout is with HBO Max and all that, but like, look at this like Batman begins. Because I think Dune Part 2. has dark night potential. Yeah, and that was 05 to 08. So how many years is that? That's a pretty big chunk. It's not quite

the same cliffhanger though, right? Like it's a different kind of thing, but but yeah, that's okay. You know what? I'm okay. I'm all right. Three years, but don't be longer than that. Like if you're going to be five, six years. You know, you know that it's going to be a disaster if

it gets announced, but Denny isn't doing it. He has to do it. He's the reason I was interested in any of this adaptation. He's the reason Blade Runner 249 is an amazing movie. Like that guy's vision he's my filmmaker DeJure right now. I love that guy's work. So he

has to be that guy. Who else is going to do this? Well, I mean, it would be because they want it on a schedule that's too fast and he didn't want to do it or they can't get the money right or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, he should want to do it is all I'm saying. He should get in there. I'm sure he wants to do it, but there's a million miles between

wants to do it and is doing it. Yeah, that's a good point. That do not have anything to do with whether or not that man would obviously like to finish a Dune trilogy. Chatroom suggesting George Miller take it over. Okay, I'm in. Go for it. I'd be down for that. I would like to see George Miller's take on the second, on the really important middle part of the Dune trilogy and see what they do with that.

But yeah, it's a, it really is a hell of a thing. And even if they never do anything with again, there's things in it that that I just can't. stop thinking about the scale of everything, the feeling of space and vastness when they show just a person standing on a flat space with a giant ship on this end of it, or when you see those guild ships in the sky, or like all of that stuff matches what I read when I was 15. And in a way that I didn't quite expect, I thought, well, this will be sort of his vision of everything, but it's kind of mine. Like, it's what I saw.

And that alone was enough for me to highly recommend this despite this weird ending and despite the up-in-the-airness of the sequel and all that. No, it's must watch. If you like science fiction, it's the most exciting grand science fiction movie that's come out. Wow, I don't even know what I would put. I'd say since 2049, which was since Mad Max Free Road. But that wasn't really science fiction.

But I don't put Mad Max as sci-fi. No, you shouldn't. It's not. It doesn't belong there. But it just, it kind of just belongs everywhere all the time. And even then, look, I liked Blade, runner. I really liked it. I thought it was good. I don't think it was as good as too. Um, I would put... And I'll tell you why, because it had to carry the corpse of Harrison Ford.

Decided to show up to work wearing a haines of your shirt and... Click, we've lost. Justin. I don't know what happened, but just disconnected. I'm not weird. Uh, no, I, okay, let's just quickly go through that. Um, I was worried about that, but came away a happy Earth while it turned out. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. It's the greatest anyone's made the corpse of Harrison Ford. He doesn't want to do these movies. Let's wait. Let's see what Indiana Jones 5 looks like.

I don't blame him. He obviously doesn't want to do these movies. He doesn't want to do Indiana Jones. He doesn't want to do Star Wars. He doesn't want to do Blade Runner. He just wants to sit home and smoke pot. And people just keep tricking him like a cartoon character out of his little house where he's smoking weed. And,

And they just keep, like, leaving money and little nugs of Chiba. And he just, like, he's like, oh, I guess I'll just go this way. Next thing, you know, he's on set. And he's like, I'm not putting on a shirt. Fine. Fine, mezio, Ford. Three, two, one. All right.

Ryan, act like a robot. And he's like, I wasn't in character. Perfect. Bye. Go. I'm sorry. Was that your French director, Denise Villeneuve voice that you just impression, did your impression of?

Yeah. That's good. Yeah. He doesn't want to do the movies. And look, I think that, look, Blayriner was great. I thought Ryan Gosling was amazing. I thought that it very

capably brought that legacy forward of understanding and exploring what the idea between what makes us human and what makes a replicant a replica and when is a replicant so much a replica that they are a human. Like there was great explorations of that. That is its legacy. It's not due.

Okay, but it's up there. It's good. I'm putting it. I just wouldn't. it also ends which is nice it has an ending so that's maybe maybe i'm giving it's it's so endy it ends both movies right it actually has a damn ending to it and whereas this new thing doesn't so much but but yeah like he's just i think he's the the next visionary filmmaker until we don't like him anymore and i'm i'm in while that while that's the case uh so yeah we'll see i don't know

I don't know what he's going to freaking do. But we're, you know, I complain about how long it's going to take to make it. Look how long it's taking him to do a Mad Max follow up. It's like, that's still two years away. And it's. Yeah, but that was five years or I'm sorry. Mad Max. All right.

Mad Max too. Yeah. Kind of the second bowl of cereal, isn't it? I mean, it's the greatest cereal in the world. So maybe. Exactly. And so of course we want another bowl. But is it going to be good.

I mean, maybe not. But it's not out yet. That's a great movie, perfect little movie, perfect little Mad Max movie. Now what do you do? You open it back up? I don't know. This is a test for George Miller to see if truly is the greatest filmmaker of all time. We'll find out.

We'll find out. He did Babe Pig in the City. He did. That was a good, it was a good sequel. I actually didn't direct it to. I'm not joking. That's not a joke. Big in the City slaps.

Pig in the City's great. It really is. It's actually very good. And it's exceed people's expectations. you know what else exceeded people's expectations that the last thing he did uh mad max wise was freaking thunderdome and then fury road just blows it all out of the water so he's capable of doing things no one expects i'm saying it's going to be great that's what i'm saying so watch out i'm saying i'm saying second bowl of cereal it's not that the second bowl of cereal is

always yeah but you always after that first bite are like damn that first bowl of cereal Well, technically it'd be the fifth bowl of cereal. Yeah, that's true. Not my metaphor. Don't my metaphor. This stuff before was like cream of wheat. It's like your parent cereal. But this stuff, this is like the real, this is the modern.

I still love, I still love Road Warrior. It's up there for me. Oh, Roadway is great. I'm not slagging on any of those, any of those original movies. You can slag on Thunderdome. Yeah, or the first one doesn't hold up. Say, bye-die-bye, Thunderdome. First one's got problems.

I don't love the first one. Yeah, it does. The Road Warriors awesome. All I'm saying is that that movie, new cast, like, it takes it in its own direction, builds out that world how it wants to. And there you go. Well, there you have it. Well, I think we've had a good discussion. We've pretty much figured out nothing, but we've talked a lot about what we love.

And that's what matters here on this segment with Justin. And we avoided politics entirely. So you should probably tell people where they can get some of that content this week or what you have planned. Yeah, we're talking a lot about two things, the Virginia governor's race, which is the premier contest on Election Day, which, by the way, is next week. So please, if you have not made your plans to vote, go ahead and do it. This Friday, I think we're going to look at some of our favorite props. I'm sure everybody's being deluged with ads on these. There is one, guys, I want to get your opinion here based solely on the advertising here in Austin.

we've got Prop A All right So if you're voting for Prop A You are for protecting Libraries, Parks, and the City Okay And if you vote against Prop A Then you are for protecting

Libraries, Parks, and the City Interesting Well, that doesn't sound confusing at all Yeah I'd vote I'd both vote vote both for and against. Can I do that? Can I fill it? Not vote often. That's the America way.

I didn't think, I thought Texas just did things. They didn't let people vote for ideas. They just enacted new ideas. And that what they do down there? They got their own little plan. They just say, hey, we're going to change everything. Yeah, executive order stuff. Don't they just do that now? But that's all they did in Texas now. No?

Is this, like, I don't know. I don't know what you're like. You can smell. I love. I love that a state as parodyable as Utah and you never miss an opportunity to to take totally unsolicited shots at other states. No, no, listen, they let us vote for things like legalization of marijuana and then when it shows great support, they figure out a way to have none of that count. So, so yeah, I'm fully aware that Utah tends to do this as well.

Actually, most states do. So I just give Texas. I don't even know where the, where the, we're the pull in on that. is well it's just because texas you know texas has had a year man they've had some stuff yeah and has a state legislature that does stuff like every other state legislature yeah but not everyone else's state legislature makes national yeah but it wasn't by fiat no but not but they don't get national news by plenty of other states by fiat plenty of other states by by by by by uh governor decree yeah yes well no that happens all the time my point is that texas is uh no sure over the last

year and a half. Yeah. Yeah. Like they've got, you know, the abortion thing. That's a big up front deal, you know? So on the way out, as I'm plugging my show, what you just want to do is throw in Texas's abortion legislation. You just want to tag that at the end, apropos of literally nothing. Yeah, because this way. As I'm doing a fun bit about props, look, you just want to throw totally out of nowhere with unfriend me gone. Look, restrictive abortion laws. With unfriend me gone. That's what you want to do right now. As I show up on your show every week without pay

and all I want is to plug my things. You just want to throw into my political show that I promote. Remember Texas's highly controversial abortion of law. That's what you wanted to do. Yes. The answer is yes to all your questions

and more. Justin Robert Young on Twitter, politics, politics, have fun. We'll see you next time. All right. He, oh, I forgot to. The jury will now retire. There it is.

I mean, it's, it's a notable, that's still notable. Texas is notable for this, this year. It's not like it's under the wire. Of course, it's notable. Like, just like it's notable, what's another one? What's another state doing something crazy?

I can't think of one. I can't either. See? South Carolina did something. I'm sure South Carolina did something. I'm sure they did, but it wasn't as notable as what Texas did. It's Texas now. Florida, maybe.

Maybe. I don't know. What's up at the South? All right, let's get this show on the road here. No, that's it. Actually, that's all we're doing today. That's all you're going to get. And that means we have to exit the building, as the Germans say.
