Tickled the edge with five guys.
Life of Pie with Tom.
Did I ever tell you about the time I did
recommendals on TMS, true story, and more
on this episode of The Morning Stream?
I don't really know what you're talking about.
I don't remember.
Hold on.
I have to guess.
All done.
This is the morning stream.
Shut up, baby, I know it.
Good morning, everyone.
It is the morning stream.
It's Scott Johnson and Brian Abbott.
Hi, Brian, Abbott.
How you doing?
Hi, Scott Johnson.
It's happy, happy hump day.
Yeah, man.
Wednesday.
3rd, 2021, it's time to celebrate the Wednesday for what it is. What is the Wednesday?
The Wednesday is the third. We're celebrating being three days into November and how do you do?
Everybody hump. That's the rule. Hump. That's right. Like you don't care no more. Just hump until the sun goes down, which is happening earlier earlier. Yep. Everybody ready for daylight savings here in the States, except Arizona, which had the wherewithal not to play this game.
You know, my favorite band, Squeeze, one of the lead singers, one of the two guys behind Squeeze for all of these years.
Chris Difford is in the UK trying to lead the way in stopping and having them stop doing daylight savings time out there.
I mean, obviously, it already happened.
Is he making inroads?
Is he got progress or what's the deal?
I really don't know out there.
But I know he's against.
it and he's, you know, he's among a large group of people out there who are against it and
want to see it stop. And I think, uh, we want to see it stop out here too. Stop, daylight savings.
We don't need it. I don't agree with a lot of things Arizona does, but that's one I like.
Sign me up for Arizona's plan to not change their clock. Just, just stand there defiantly with
your arms folded going, I ain't rolling back an hour. F off. Why don't we do that? Yep. That's right.
Daylight savings in Indiana, too. There's a section of Indiana that,
That doesn't do it either.
Oh, just a part of Indiana?
I didn't know that.
Just a part of Indiana.
That must be weird.
It's not the whole state, right, Dice Tomato?
That would be so weird.
Mm-hmm.
If it's just a little piece of it, then the very border of the next town, they're changing
their time?
Weird.
Weird.
Yes, most of Indiana.
Okay.
But you could literally at some point in Indiana, cross the street.
Yeah.
Right, yeah.
Potentially, yes, exactly.
So it could be four when you left.
you're there two minutes later and it's 502.
Exactly.
Weird.
Weird.
And there's part of Indiana, like, Indiana is partially central and partially eastern time, if I remember correctly.
I think that's a state that is bisected by the time zone line.
I could be wrong.
That's one of the ones I'm not 100% sure about, but I think it's the case.
You know what can happen.
but looking for a map.
Yeah, find a map.
What'll happen if we don't find a map?
If we don't find the answer here, someone will email it.
They'll clear it up for us.
Princeton, Indiana is on Central Daylight Time.
Indianapolis is on Eastern Daylight Time.
Hmm.
Okay.
Well, soon we are going to be, we're going to gain an hour in a fake way.
Okay.
That's right, because somebody decided at one point that we needed that extra hour.
I mean, what?
Yeah.
Why?
So the show will technically start at,
the old time well no hold on yeah the old time it'll start will be 10 a.m. our time but for today but next week it'll be 9 a.m. right? Right. For us or is it 8?
Yeah exactly it'll it'll start for us what feels like 8 9 10. 10 we're moving yeah fall back right we lose okay fall back so you go
instead of it being
10
oh yeah yeah
shaping up to be one of those
so instead of it being nine
right is 10 o'clock
right what is 10 o'clock
will really be the nine o'clock we're used to
yes
well don't go chasing waterfall
stick to the nine o'clock you're just
all right
boy I got to report this
maybe I should tell the police
I don't know but
a whole bunch of people
you heard the story yesterday about us finding an errant bag of dog poo that somebody left
by our transformer and um uh i think you found a poo behind the transformer
about a transformer i was trying to think of a good transition that had to do a transformers and
I couldn't do it roll out um anyway so we're you know that whole story yesterday and then
a whole bunch of people wrote in and i'm not going to read anyone in particular but a bunch of
you say, that you should keep bags of dog poop from your walks for camp fuel on long hikes
and camping trips.
Now, I need some independent verification of this because that seems weird and strange,
and I don't like it.
No, sir, I don't.
So what is the deal with that?
You have to dry it out.
You can't use, and that's the thing.
If it's in a bag, you've kind of got to take it out of the bag and put in something
also that it can it can try out but i mean why do you put it to let it try out because that is a that is a
dumping poop into an open container in your yard kind of situation it is it is but also like isn't
the point of camping fuel okay i've heard stories of you know cowboys in the 1800s where they're
like ah the fire we got a got a fire to cook these beans see and so they kill they don't kill
They go and they get a horse's poo, horse chips, you know?
Yes, right.
Because those are kind of dry already.
Yes.
Like right out of the shoe.
They sit out automatically.
There's no, there's nobody collecting the poo and putting it into a little bag and tying the end in a nice little knot.
Yeah.
And then you burn that.
But my point is in the year 2021, I just feel like there are other options.
There are far, far better options.
Heck, even a Dura Flame log is a better option than a collection of dried out dog poo.
And maybe the idea is that we're supposed to, this is environmentally friendly, you know.
Return to the, returning to the earth.
Plus, how would that campfire smell?
I mean, do you get the...
Oh, man.
Because I know that when you, you know, when you burn certain kinds of wood, it smells fantastic.
Cherrywood smells amazing and stuff like that.
When you burn poop, does it just smell like burning poop?
I'm sure it does.
It's dog poop.
It has to, right?
So, yeah, don't do it.
Burn your junk mail says Fleming in the chat there you go. That's a good. That's a much better idea.
I get a fair amount of that. We were, but yesterday was vote day here. We only had one race,
mayor of the city we live in. And the other thing was an uncontested like school board thing.
So, you know, whatever. But civic duty and all that, we did our thing. And here in Utah,
that's mail-in ballots, which I think is hilarious as a prominently red state and everyone complaining about mail-in ballots, but we do them.
But it's a way to fraud, Scott.
Yeah, except, you know, overwhelmingly conservative state implemented it.
So I don't know what to tell you.
But anyway, what was my point there?
Oh, vote day.
Yeah, we got the ballot there.
And for some reason, on vote day, the mail is jam-packed, the box is jam-packed
with junk mail, just tons of it.
Sure.
I don't know why.
It's all the vote no on 11 because our kids will,
not be safe.
Oh, yeah.
Is it all that stuff?
Probably is.
Now that you say that, I didn't look at it too closely because most of it
it was like trash, trash, trash, trash.
And then Kim would say, no, this is a coupon for a thing we never need.
I need that.
It's funny because if you've only got one item on the ballot, I mean, really you should get,
at most, one thing for each side of the issue saying, no, it's going to hurt our kids.
But if you vote yes on it, it'll hurt our kids.
Yeah, it'll hurt our kids.
I voted for this guy, an independent guy named, I forgot.
got his last name, it's hard to say, but he's, uh, he's, uh, he's, uh, from, from, either
Hawaii, Tonga, maybe Tonga.
Um, you guys do have a, oh, do you have a big Samoan?
Samoan and Tongan here, yeah. We have just a big Polynesian population in Utah, just huge.
And it's great. They're huge, wonderful people. There's a guy up the street, uh, named Amaran,
who I just adore, he's like one of my favorite human beings on this planet. And I don't know
what's going on over there, but culturally, those people are happy.
lot of the time. I won't say all the time because nobody is, but that guy smiles and grins for
miles around, affects everybody in a positive way. Love that dude. Anyway, I decided, based on that,
that I would vote for him simply because I like his people and I like his culture and I like,
I like, I like Polynesian folks. That's why I did it. I had nothing on the issues. It was a
completely non-issue thing for me, because I don't know what the local freaking, I don't know
what that is. It's the mayor of South Jordan, boo, who cares? Right, right. I just know the lady
that's in there right now is annoying. So let's get that guy in. All right. Anyway, enough about
civic duty. Let's move on to this email. Yeah. Duty, poop duty and civic duty. Civic duty,
Poop duty. It's all duty. We got an email from Stewart in the UK. Okay.
Let's see here.
Sorry, my page went weird.
All right.
On American Chocolate was the subject.
Hi, Scott.
This is from yesterday.
You asked on today's show why UK chocolate tastes so much better.
Here's my story.
After traveling to the U.S., we tried a Hershey bar, and the whole family thought it
tasted like vomit and threw it away.
We googled why does Hershey's taste like vomit and found out it's a common question from Brits.
Give it a whirl.
Thanks for the entertainment.
Stewart in the UK.
P.S., we do.
have better chocolate?
Well, I don't disagree.
Yeah, no, definitely, definitely agreeing with that.
As a test, I pulled up Google and I typed, why does Hershey's?
And I stopped right there.
The first item is, the very first search completion is why does Hershey's chocolate
taste like vomit?
Why?
Why?
Okay.
And then why does Hershey's taste different?
And why does Hershey's syrup need to be refrigerated?
And then why does Hershey's chocolate smell like vomit?
it's funny because
if you're from the UK
how come you're saying vomit
why doesn't it
why isn't it
why does Hershey's chocolate
taste like sick
well okay
so yesterday there was chatter
in the chat about
how this is the case
there's some kind of abutric acid
it's called
it's a chemical
that is
yeah it's a souring chemical
exactly but the idea
is it preserves
so in usual US form
we're like hey
what if we made
something last forever on the
Shee? Let's get it out there, see? And so they did. And then everybody started doing it. And then everybody in the country is, anyone who makes chocolate here, they all use it now. And now it's just part of the taste. It's just what we do. And now that everyone has said this, I'm not sure I could ever eat a Hershey's Bar again. Because I don't want to eat a stick of vomit.
I know. I know. You're not wrong. I mean, and we've had European chocolate on this show. And it is delicious. It's fantastic.
Japanese Kit Kat Chocolat is also really good.
And so you've got to go independent and not go with Hershey's or Mars or any of the big brands for your chocolate.
We've got, you know, look for your local chocolate places, and I have a thing about that later.
I have a would you question.
All right.
Would you?
Okay.
All right.
If the queen, Queen Elizabeth, you know.
Philip.
All that.
Yeah.
She walks up to you and she says,
greetings and she hands you
a 24 ounce tall glass
of hot queen vomit
and you already
liked Hershey's just fine
would there be any difference? Like taste-wise
if you didn't know
like let's say you were
so you're saying
Hershey's chocolate
tastes and smells like queen vomit
this feels like a weird like you know there's none either or it's it's a would you if she
handed it to you no i would not yeah it's it's squid game dude you just have to do it you just
required uh no you know what this is a bad comparison i pressed the red i press the red button
thank you very much i guess what i was i guess deep down the question is what's the difference
between american and british vomit and i don't i don't know that there is any difference
I guess that.
No, I think all around the world, I mean, obviously we all have different diets, but so our vomit is going to have some differences, but it's vomit, it's vomit.
Vomit is vomit, yeah.
Cheez, Louise.
Yeah.
Exit only is what I say.
Yeah.
Is there another topic we can?
Is there anything else we can talk about?
Yeah.
Yeah, we could talk about prizes and contests and winning shit and all of that.
Oh, is this one of the.
Give something to a listener.
Oh, this is a feud today. Hold on.
It's a feud.
Oh, no, I'm not ready.
Hold on. Let's see.
Oh, I better get ready.
We're about to find your way in there.
You better to get your way in there, see?
Okay, so I'm going to open the right things here and hit play there.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
I'm in there now.
Let me test this.
All right, you have to reset that.
Okay, we got Dunaway coming in and hold on, everybody.
We're working on this.
We got an idea.
We got a plan.
Okay.
All right.
there we go. Okay. So now that I know what we're doing, here's this music.
I'm sorry, let that go longer than usual. Hey, look who it is. Everybody is Brian Dunaway joining
us for Tad Pooley Feud. Hi, Brian. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Oh, we missed you so much. We missed you this week.
Oh, I missed you guys too, but we missed the Monday. And we missed our, our, our, you
usual movie chat on Saturday. I mean, like,
it's been, you know, it's been a week. I did
a film sack this past weekend.
Did you? Who was there? Were you guys
ghost? We were, yes.
We were done the whole time.
Oh, man. We were. We were never
there.
You guys didn't, you guys didn't do the podcast
with me on Halloween? I'm pretty sure that was
me and you guys. Yeah, that was us. And we watch
Ouija? Yeah, we watch
Ouija. Yeah, we just
didn't do that? Weege. Yeah.
W.O.O.I.
I'm coming to join you, Ouija.
It's good to have you here.
Hey, man, back off.
I've had a rough morning.
I had a sudden appearance of a blessed blood vessel in my left index finger for no reason at all, brushing my teeth.
And all of a sudden, I feel this pinching on my left finger.
And I'm like, what is that?
Then I went outside to open the car door, and I had this half, like, and I took a pair of pliers.
I'm like, what is going on?
Yeah.
No, those hurt, dude.
Broken vessels in your fingers freaking stink.
Oh, that totally sucks.
So when you go to the doctor and.
and say, I've got a broken blood vessel, and he says,
where? And you point, you stick your finger out.
Does he then look at the wall like a, like a,
like a golden retriever?
No, my doctor's not in some kind of weird parody movie.
Oh, okay.
That's too bad.
It's all swelling up and everything, and I'm like,
it's getting bigger, and I'm like, oh, no, I'm going to die.
And with the Urge Care Center, of course,
I started going down after I checked in.
And by the time they saw me, it was just a little bit blue
in purple. We don't see
the problem, Mr. Dunaway. Would you like us
to bill you another $75?
Right. What's the problem? Just take my
money and let me go home. That's right.
Co-pay your way straight to hell.
All right. Hey, well,
I'm glad your finger's okay. Don't use it for anything.
I didn't say it was okay. It hurts still.
It does hurt.
It hurts. Somebody.
This just happened to Kim.
My wife just did this to her finger,
gardening. So it's a normal
thing. It's a pretty common. No, it's not. She was
gardening. I actually heard it doing
something. I would have said, oh, okay, I heard it
doing something. You know, I was standing there brushing
my teeth with the other hand, and then
it happened. We like our vessels to keep to
themselves, really. Correct. Yes.
We're not a real, not a big fan of them acting up.
Speaking of acting up, let's find out who this is.
All that is to say that
this is my buzzer finger, so take it easy
on me. Oh, we'll go easy on you. Don't you
worry your little head? Excuses already start.
That's right. Let's find out who's
on the line for us, holding so patiently. Hi,
who's this? It's
Guwokmar. Well, hello, Guakmar. What's
going on?
Guwarkmar.
I'm not bad.
There have been days.
I won't lie to you, Gwakmar.
There have been a couple of days where I wanted to draw what I think a Gwakmar looks
like.
I might still do it.
I have ideas.
Well, I could describe you what the name goes to.
You could, but then it would ruin my weird idea of the guacamole part I have going on.
Listen, we all want to visualize a jiggly puff.
We don't want to be told what a jiggly puff is.
No, we don't.
All right.
Well, we got urgent care here.
We got Gwokmars.
here. We've got Brian to explain what the hell we're doing here. So, Brian, please explain
what we're doing here. I will do just that. It's time to play the Todd Pooley feud. I've
surveyed the Tadpool on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers
that they gave us. It is their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Gwakmar,
your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or
Brian. And if your team wins, you get a prize package that includes Avernum 3 ruined world.
And synthetic Legion Rising.
Oh, those are both really good.
I have both those games.
They're fantastic.
Cool.
Yeah.
A Vernum, the series of Vernom, is really trippy, cool.
I've earned them.
Yeah, I'm jealous to be, I wish I was playing these for the first time.
Really?
Oh, cool.
Yeah, they're really good.
Good, then you've got those to look forward to if you win Gwakmar, and to win, you need to play.
Oh, I can win Gwapmar?
Yeah, he could win Gwak Mar.
Take Gwak Mar home.
All right.
Hands on your buzzers, 553 Tadpoolers, responded to this question.
Which, I'm going to clarify, too, so which fast food restaurant has the best fries?
Oh, Brian, now, before you answer, let me also throw this, I would have done this no matter who buzzed in.
This includes things like curly fries, waffle fries, everything like that.
So any fries in there.
Okay, Brian, your answer.
Fried potato side dish.
Got it.
First of all, ow.
Secondly, your buzzer finger hurts after that?
Yes.
Ow, I think I busted another blood.
Okay, I'm going to go McDonald's because, duh, it's McDonald's.
Really?
People, I'm sure it's going to be some controversy, and people are going to be like,
McDonald's isn't the best, but I feel like there's just such a large amount of people
that love those salty, salty sticks.
So shiny.
Yeah.
All right.
All right, show me Mickey D's.
number one answer on the board
184 tadpillers said that one so
you and Gwakmar have control of the board
there's no way for Scott to pick an answer better than that
because that's the number one answer so
nice you guys are teammates
suck it Johnson yeah
oh I'm sucking it I'm sucking it right now baby
so Gwakmar
lay it on Brian what other ideas do you have there
so just as a quick
side note I usually use my technology
fries and my micrib sauce, so.
Oh, man.
Oh, yes.
I'm probably stoked because that's a, that's the hot new business right now, or it's out.
My wife was just telling me that she's never seen me so happy as when she bought me
two McRibbs on Friday.
I wish I was you.
I wish I was not because, not because you got the McRibbs, but because I don't understand
why people like them.
I can't eat them.
They're gross.
They're just fantastically disgusting.
I love hate.
They always come out around my birthday.
and it's like a birthday
present for McDonald's
and then they go away
for five years
and then I miss them
Oh wait
when's your birthday
by the way
October 17th
Well happy
Happy belated
But I missed it
Well happy belated birthday
Yeah
That's awesome
Celebrate with us
All right
Sorry you guys keep
Something about the barbecue
And you know
It's not really
Meat in there
I'm pretty sure
But it's
For something
It's something that comes
From a pig
It may not be the
The pork's shoulder.
It may not be the parts you want, but it's good.
Hey, but I got to ask, walk, before we do that.
It's the pork butt, but actual butt.
Yeah.
It's actual pork butt.
Yeah, and anus.
It's actual, um, yummy.
Now, do you, do you avoid the onions?
Sometimes I ask no onions and they give them to me anyway on your McRib.
You know, with the McDonald's around here, I don't really have a choice.
I ask them to the grid, and I'm lucky if I get an actual McRib.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Now we've learned something.
okay. Where's the second tasty fries or even better? Tell me what the 10th place
fry is if you have one. Waffle fries from Chick-fil-A. Oh, they are so good. Let's go with
some waffle fries from Chick-fil-A. Not really a fry, but who's the pet Tadpool care?
They may not like the gays, but do they have good fries? Show me, Chick-fil-A.
Oh, yes, number six. They don't like the gays.
good job i thought they backtracked on that i thought they pulled out of all of that
the guy who founded the company is no longer really doing shit and so and then every franchise is
individually owned so you can't really blame them i think it's it's murky like everything
it's murky everything's murky right yeah well whatever those terrible people have some
great service anyway that's your number six answer uh keep on going all right uh guacamore you have
I don't have a few in my head, if not.
What about Wendy's?
They've got the skin-on fries.
Oh, yeah.
Plus, you dip it in the frosty.
Yes.
And they're actually pretty thick, too.
They've got actually had some real fries there at Wendy's.
Yeah, but you know what, though?
Quick criticism here.
Nothing wrong with Wendy's fries if they're cooked properly and fresh.
But they leave them for long periods of time, and by the time I get them, they're
wet noodles.
I don't know what's wrong with all the restaurant chains in your area, Scott.
It's not for any fries that's cooked right and fresh.
I mean, that kind of goes through every fry.
Yeah, no, you're right.
Every place has that problem.
You do get the occasional Wendy's fry that is, like, dark brown shriveled up.
Yeah, yeah.
In every, in every container is like three or four of those.
Limp, dark brown, shriveled up.
It's like those chips.
That won't end up in a mashup.
Yeah.
It's like those little dark chips you put in your yard.
What are those called?
Or hockey.
Kind of, yeah.
That's what those.
look like.
All right.
So you guys are on the roll here.
We're going for the Wendy's.
Show me Dave Thomas' little girl red-headed ponytails.
Show me that old-fashioned burger.
There it is.
Number three.
You know what's natural?
Square burgers.
Yeah.
Nothing more natural than a square burger, dude.
Square burger.
All right.
You got another one or are you ready to hand them over to me?
Well, I can go for the one that I like or I can go for the one that most people may.
not like.
Let's go to the Glockmars.
It's practically your birthday a month later.
Yeah.
Let's go what you like.
Let's go with Burger King.
It's the ones I don't like.
Oh, yes.
Burger King has some interesting.
Hey, those aren't French fries.
Those are chicken fries.
Right.
All right.
Show me Burger King.
Number five.
Yeah, I think it's something, they, like,
grind and shape their fries into
fry shapes and then fry them.
Like, isn't it?
They grind the potatoes, freeze them into
fry shapes.
Is that a thing?
I don't know if that's true.
I didn't know that.
They do that with the chicken fries.
They're mealy.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
I have bad news, real quick.
Some bad news.
Walkmar dropped from the call.
It's okay because you can play for him.
It's just a little more pressure on you.
Well, that's fine.
I think Guamar gave us all the best answers anyway.
Might be him calling back.
No, that's just this thing ringing.
That's a different number.
Yeah, a different number.
All right.
don't worry about it. We'll play for you. Go ahead.
I feel like Ibitt gave us a little bit of a clue earlier saying that they're, you know,
that some of these are kind of on the outside there. I think Arby's, who has the curly fries and the
home style fries, I think Arby's is the place to be.
Is the chow?
If you tried their waffle, sweet potato fries, those are actually really good.
No, I have not.
Those surprise me. I thought they'd be shite and they were fantastic. They're really good.
All right. Let's see. Arby's show.
me we have the pearly fries number four on the list good i wanted a little lower right you wanted
to lower on the board well uh you're at 19 points there's still lots of points on the board
did it be uh hold on to get all crunchy for you done away a little bit yeah and and you guys are
all both getting all crunchy for me for some reason um let me see what's going on there because i can
probably fix that i don't know if it's oh yeah i'm just seeing red in in uh discord for this yeah we're
going to change our zone here let's go change in the zone let's go get into the zone auto zone we'll go
we'll go central there we go central seems to be green full green bars there we go that's better all right
where the hell were we oh you're still picking because you're still one yeah yeah yeah I just I said the
RBs and then I oh god now I said oh see now I started thinking auto places and now I lost the one I was
going to say oh no I know what I was going to say I'm going to go for a little lower hanging fruit
Not as many out there, but I think people still like the jack-in-the-box fries.
Oh, sure.
Okay.
Oh, I don't know if I've ever, have I had Jack-in-the-Boss.
I've been there.
You have had, I mean, have to have had Jack-on-the-Boss.
You have to have had their fries.
All right, well, let's see.
Do people like Jack-in-the-box's fries?
Show me, Jack-in-the-box?
No.
No, Blackmore, now that you're gone, I'm failing.
Two people.
So 21st on the list was Jackton Rocks.
It doesn't surprise me.
It's kind of like, it's real loosey-goosey about where those locations are.
Like, it's not as consistent.
Yeah, they're not as big.
I took a chance.
It was a good chance.
I went low to see if I could get some big points, but I went a little too low.
No, it's a very strategic move.
I like that.
Yeah, look at you.
All right, well, then I should have been thinking of some things.
How about the old in and out?
In and out.
Oh, sure the old
In and Out.
They send cluck work orange.
All right, show me in and out
in their little tiny, skinny
little shoestring weird fries.
There you go.
That's what I should have went with.
Yeah.
Okay, that's good.
That's good points for me.
That is good points, yeah.
Who have we not done here?
Yeah, I'm not a fan of it and outs fries.
They're all, you know, in a pinch, it's fine.
But you're right.
Yeah.
They're not great.
All right.
We did Chick-fil-A.
Oh, shit.
Let's do five guys, I guess.
I don't know.
Five guys.
Well, that's a good one.
What is it?
Show me five guys on all those fries sitting in the bottom of the bag.
Number two on the list.
Yeah, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
Because they hand you a whole bag and say, here you go.
Yeah.
You spilled my fries in the bag.
Yeah.
And they're great.
You gave me a container for my fries that isn't big enough to hold all my fries.
And now the bottom of the bag is, is,
something I don't want to put on the seat in my car.
Exactly.
That peanut oil immediately goes through the bag.
There's just no time.
It does.
Yes, exactly.
All right.
Do you guys.
I'm running out of stuff here.
Dave.
So fast food, right?
Fast food.
Nothing else is going to count.
And we're already tickling that edge with five guys.
Because they're kind of like the next.
Wait, did you just say tickling that edge with five guys?
Yeah, tickling the edge.
Is that what?
Just pointing out that would be a great something to capture.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure Jamie needs all the help in the world to find this stuff.
So, good job.
Oh, man, I'm really running low here.
Shake shack, I guess.
There you go.
Shake shack.
All right.
Yeah.
Show me the shake shack.
Oh, really?
Number 17 on the list.
Tied really for 16th place with,
Three people saying that one.
Interesting.
I have a question, though.
There's one that's on the board, but has a different name regionally.
Were they separate?
No.
So if it's regional and if it's called two different things in the country, then I group them together.
Okay, so Carl's Jr. and Hardee's.
I don't have to say Carl's Jr.
Is that right, is that your guess?
No, if I've already got Hardee's on there, why would I have?
No, I don't.
that don't have Hardee's. I don't say Hardee's then.
Hardee's Carl Jr. I was thinking I already said it,
but you're right. I'm looking now.
I don't see it. I'm going to go with Carl's Jr.
All right. Show me.
Carl's Jr. Hardies.
Why do you think you've already got it?
So that is 29 points for you.
I was looking at Burger King, but I was, I don't know.
I think he's won. I think he's won. I think Guachmar just won.
There are only two answers left on the board.
And even if Scott gets both of those, he doesn't have enough to
beat you. So we'll just play this out. But Guwakamar, congratulations.
All right. Well, you still have the, you still have the winner ticket there. Brian, go
ahead and guest. I'm not seeing our West Coast friends on there looking again. What a burger.
I'm not seeing there. Okay. Yeah, what a burger, french fries. Okay. West Coast, I think they're like a Texas deal,
aren't they? I mean, sorry. Yeah. Well, that is West Coast to me. I'm waiting.
All right. Show me that.
great west coast
Texas restaurant
Wadaburger
Wadaburger
not there
really
really
let's see
they were
tied for
20th
with two people
suggesting
water burger
I know one more
but it's not my turn
so Scott go ahead
Brian and I
almost forgot
one of our favorite
places jointly to go
is Freddy's
so I'll say
Freddy's
darn right it is
show me
Freddy's
yeah
Yeah, number eight.
Nice.
I've never, I don't even know what a Freddy's is.
For whatever reason, they're very similar to in and out, but they just do them better.
And I don't know what the deal is.
Maybe it's the fact they give you that jalapeno fry sauce with it.
Oh, it might be that.
But they're also, I don't know, there's a thinner, crisper thing going on.
A little crisper, yeah.
Yeah, better flavor.
I don't know.
All right.
Number seven.
Let's see here.
One answer left on the board.
We almost ran the board.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
I know.
That's fast food.
That's what Scott does to me.
I love it.
I keep thinking of things that are fast food or that aren't fast food or things that are only local to me.
And that's not going to work.
You might.
I've never even heard of a Freddy's.
I don't know.
I'm out.
I really can't think of one.
You got to say something.
I honestly can't think of it.
I really can't.
I don't know what's something.
be uh i'll just say a word or a thing uh okay uh you know what they actually have pretty good fries
but no one gets them but del taco they have fries oh oh yeah oh yeah it was already buzzed him
before he even said it i'm gonna go with uh fictional uh restaurant mcdowles no i'm kidding i'm going
with uh by the way one person said del taco on the i did they really all right i don't feel so
bad they're actually pretty good now that you said that it makes me want to say taco bell but
not. Instead, I'm going to say our
local, well, it's local,
I haven't seen many other places. It may be all across
the country, but checkers.
Oh, checkers. I've heard of checkers.
We don't have them, but I've heard of them.
Show me, checkers.
Oh, God.
We ran the board.
Checkers and rallies in some
locations. There you go. Yes.
Yes.
So congratulations to the two of you.
You ran the board.
So, Wachmar would have won
either way.
but he won the right way.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's only one way to win, and that's winning.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Good job, Gwokmar.
Send your email to Brian Coverville at gmail.com.
You know the drill.
He'll get you these codes,
and you'll walk away.
Very happy with the Vernum 2 and synthetic.
Who gave us those?
Wesley, I believe.
We get a lot from Wesley.
We do get a lot from Wesley.
Wesley gives us a monthly stipend of codes.
Some of the ones that were lower on the list,
KFC, Culvers.
Red Robin would not call them fast food, but people mention them.
And I do love their fries.
I almost said that.
Pop-I's, Pop-I's, not Pop-I-I-Eyes.
Smash Burger, Dairy Queen, Shake Shack, Sonic, Steak and Shake.
One of those was said, I can't remember.
It was one of the shake places.
Shake-Shack, we said, but we did not do Steak and Shake.
Did you say Steak Out?
Is that what you said?
Steak and Shake is the other one.
Okay.
A&W.
Penn Station, which is an East Coast Submarine Sandwich Place, that apparently is really good.
portillo's which is another like really regional raising canes habit arctic circle um and then a bunch
of like seven eleven elevens yeah uh long john silvers oh long john silver says excellent fries i agree
with that one person did say taco bell i'm guessing they were talking about their nacho fries
oh yeah right because they don't have regular fries i don't think do they no no have they ever done that
I mean, they used to my knowledge.
The closest they had were, oh, no, no, it was the other place that had the, the friholes, holy frihoes or potatoolets or something like that.
Oh, yeah.
That's del taco, right?
Potatoesolets.
I hate everything about that name.
I just think that sucks.
Potatoes olets.
All right.
Holy freeholes.
Don't know what you did great.
Truly, a man who knows is fast food.
So, well done.
I'm telling you, man, wherever there's a couple of topics that I do well.
that and fast food's one of them.
Are you going to get a McRib or what's your plan this year?
Oh, oh, yes.
I am definitely getting a McRib.
Okay.
But I just got to find a time where I can just sort of buy to shut up and enjoy, you know?
It's like, shh.
I thought you meant you got to eat it and then you just need the time to like let it do what it's going to do.
It really does.
One time.
Yeah, you kind of do.
I remember one time years and years ago, I got a McRib, but I was really hungry.
And I was like, you know what?
I'm getting two McRibs.
Yeah, two McRibs.
Got halfway through the second one, I thought it was going to die.
There's just no way you can eat two whole McRibs, just not humanly possible.
Yeah, don't eat, don't eat McRibs.
I don't even know how they sold it to me.
Surely they must have to ask, sir, are you with someone?
The fact that they have to stamp that thing to look like mini ribs is enough for me to never eat it again.
Yes, exactly.
Pressed food.
Prest food.
Everyone likes some pressed food.
I mean, I'd do it in a pinch.
I'd do it for money, but I ain't doing it on my own.
I'm not doing it on purpose.
That's all I'm saying.
All right.
Hey, Don't forget, everybody.
It's Wednesday, but that doesn't mean there won't be a film sack this weekend.
There will be.
We're going to be doing Geo Storm.
If you can be going to get in our Gerard Butler on.
And we're going to play that movie based on that fantastic iOS game.
Right, exactly.
Oh, wait.
I'm sorry.
It's the other way around.
Anyway.
Adaptation.
in the film adaptation of that terrific game.
There it goes.
Dunaway, anything else you want to mention?
Absolutely.
I'll be on Twitch.tv.
4 slash Brian Dunaway tomorrow night, Thursday, 6 p.m. Eastern Time.
Playing some boop show homework.
I don't know what I'm going to play yet.
I picked a game, but I don't know.
They asked me to sign up for something.
I'm like, I don't like when they do that.
Unless it's a game where, you know, signing up makes sense.
I don't know.
I don't love that.
Real quick, I got the DLC also for the,
that graveyard keeper business.
Oh, yes.
I'm very excited about that.
Yeah, I need to get back in there, and I need to ask you some questions because I'm clearly
really bad at that game, and I need some help of understanding what the...
Absolutely.
Man, I've been playing that thing for almost two years under the tutelage of Kit London,
and I know some...
You know shit now.
Yeah.
You and Kit are experts.
Bye now.
All right, he's out.
When he least expects it, expects it.
I pull the rug out from under him.
Just right out, exactly.
Time for a news story.
And dance by the light of the moon.
It's the news.
Brought to you by.
Brought to you by, look, if you're looking for good chocolate, I'm going to tell you where you can get some.
The Georgetown Valley Candy Company, they're just off of I-70 here in Colorado.
They're owned by a friend of mine, but I don't get any sort of money for this promotion.
Go check out their website at shopgVCC.com and buy some good chocolate.
Ooh, you know, all this talk of bad chocolate, let's put.
people on the path.
Right, exactly.
Point them to the right place.
That's what I say.
It's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
This happened here, so I guess I got to play this.
Hold on.
Utah Connections.
All right.
A Provo, it's not my favorite story to tell about Utah Connections.
A Provo sex offender opened his door nude.
Oh, geez.
Him, not the door.
Jesus hands?
That detail is not included in the story.
That's all right.
Maybe we don't want to know.
Why is there?
I just found a.
wad of tissue paper on my chair.
Why is this here?
When I say tissue paper, I mean like...
Like wrapping paper tissue.
Like the paper that...
Yeah.
I don't know why this is here.
That freaks me out a little.
Did you receive a package recently that...
No.
But why is it right under my butt?
My wife...
Maybe my wife thinks I'm leaking or something.
I don't know.
Anyway, moving on.
He opened the door nude.
He invited trick-or-treaters inside
in his nude state.
This is pretty a bad thing to do,
no matter who you are,
especially if you have a record.
This is according to the police.
A convicted sex offender was arrested Sunday,
Saturday, rather, after a police said he answered the door
in his provo home.
That's south of me by about 30 minutes, 40 minutes,
naked and invited a trick-or-treat group of children inside.
Stephen Kelly Little, age 48, aren't they always?
Was booked into a Utah County jail
for investigation on five counts of lewdness
and three counts of lewdness involving a child.
Police say he already is serving probation for lewdness involving a child.
Several children were trick-or-treating and approached the house where little answered.
It's an unfortunate name.
It's a very unfortunate name.
The door naked and was beckoning children inside, says Provo Police Master Officer Austin Williams.
Wow.
That's a cool title, isn't it?
Yeah.
Master officer.
Master Officer Austin Williams.
The children told their parents who were across the street.
What had happened, the father then approached the door
and as one of his daughters knocked,
he opened the door again, nude.
Why would you bring your daughter back over there?
I think he was trying to make sure he opened it thinking it was a kid.
But it does seem a little weird.
It does seem a little weird.
The father told his daughter to leave and told Little to turn his lights off
and not answer the door anymore.
Then the father called the police.
Wow, that is
The most diplomatic thing that this guy could have done, right?
Like, comes over there with his daughter, sends his daughter away and says,
Let me handle this.
I'm just going to tell him to shut his door and turn off his lap.
I honestly think I may have hauled off and punched the guy.
I really do.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think I could have contained that one.
That would have been hard for me.
It really depends on how young your kids are.
You've just brought them over and exposed them.
them to you know well that yeah just don't even do that part go to that guy's door bang on it a couple
of times he opens the door you force yourself in you try not to make incidental contact with
his ween-ween-ween and then you punch him in the face and then you leave and then you call the
cops right right and you might be in trouble for punching him but I'd still have a hard time
restraining myself douchebag what a douche what uh what candy let can we guess what candy
he was given away uh were they uh they were little little fun stuff
Snickers.
When question about why he answered the door nude, this is the best part.
This is his explanation.
Little raisinets, apparently.
There you go, raisinets.
He said he had just gotten out of the shower, and that's why he was nude.
Oh, whatever.
Yeah.
And they say, why did you ask the kids inside?
And he said, that's where the candy was, was his answer.
Well, dude, that's where the candy.
We have some good winners here.
Tutsyroll from Rainbow Bros.
right, as far as what he candy was giving away
zero, which is another good choice from
Jedi 671.
Milk duds, moving train media.
That's a good one.
Snowballs, what do you may call it?
A single Reese's PC?
Chatroom
is saying I would be charged
with like home invasion and assault.
I know. I'm not saying that what I would do is legal
if I went in there and punched him. What I'm saying is I'd have
a really hard. I'd be very tempted is what I'm saying.
that's all I'm getting out. I'm not saying it's legal. I'm saying I'd be that pissed.
Okay. So check this out. At least four or five children over 14 and three under 14 saw little naked.
He was a little naked. He's a little naked.
That's a good unfortunate name.
It says they should consider raising his bail as he has proved, quote, to be a danger to children in the public with this continued behavior.
He was arrested September 22nd, 2018, at the Provo Rec Center where he approached a stall door in the men's locker room while naked and was viewed by a 10-year-old.
Yeah, this guy needs to be, I think, I think it just needs to be in jail.
Locked up, I think, yeah.
This is one of those deals.
Yeah, I wasn't sure from the headline.
I wasn't sure if he was, if his sex offender status came from Halloween or if it came from something before.
So, it's, yeah, putting the wean in Halloween there a little.
nice little wean is his name little wean
little wean yeah they'll like you in jail
oh they'll love him in jail they'll love you in prison yeah get in there
some of the best friends you're going to have are going to be in jail get in there buddy
all right one final note uh we talked about the mcrib so why not finish it off with uh
it's a great story to kind of put a caper on that business for sure McDonald's created a
macrib nft according to this article because we live in hell
says this article.
It's true.
Anyway, they say
in a tiring display
of late stage capitalism,
the burger chain
announced that it's
creating the McRib NFT
in celebration of the sandwich
is 40th birthday.
They literally mean
that meat in there is 40 years old,
by the way.
Yeah, it's appropriate.
Yes, exactly.
According to the press release,
the company added
it would be giving away
the NFTs as part of a sweepstakes
on Monday, November the 1st
to give people a chance to enjoy
it year-round digitally.
our McRib NFTs are digital versions of the fan favorite sandwich
almost as saucy as the McRib itself
and we're giving them away to a few lucky fans on Twitter
beginning November 1st says the press release
they're not the first to do this
Coca-Cola Taco Bell, Nike, who else, Nike,
they've all done some kind of NFT thing
and that's how you know it's got legs it's got longevity
because all these companies are jumping on the bandwagon
not really having any idea how to do it.
Yeah, I'm annoyed by it to a high degree.
I almost gag.
I gag there, just a little bit of a gag.
All right, we're going to take a break.
And when we come back, Tom Merritt will be joining us.
We're going to get a little tech time out of the way.
We got recommendals after that with a, well, it depends.
A new special correspondent, let's call them.
Right, yes.
Somebody who's here unless Nicole wants her seat back.
Right, exactly.
Yeah, because we told her she could always...
Just keeping Nicole's seat warm.
Yeah, but it's a good warmer.
You'll find out here in a moment who's going to be warm in that seat when we come back.
All right, that's it for now.
Brian, do you have a song?
Let's do a song.
I have a song.
Let's go to Dallas, Texas for a band called Close By, and you spell it.
C-L-O-S-E-B-Y-E, is in Close Bye.
They got a brand new release coming out.
They released their EP called Boring the Camera in 2017 under their previous name, Pueblo.
But they have, as it's been reported, they have brought Jungle Jim Refinement to their debut album,
their first full-length album.
Folks like Kate Davis, Robert Ellis, and Ian Salazar, and Perla.
Anyway, this is the brand new song from close by.
It's called Easy to Forget.
Coming out of the words.
strong I shook your hand
I need your help
I'll never see you again
and something tells me
it's easy to forget
looking out at the blank stairs
in my head
it all came true
Breaking under the shelter night on a big stage where nobody lies.
I followed up and it took my time, but every song's the same.
There's no surprise.
I'll never see you again and something tells me it's easy to focus.
Looking out at the plank stairs in my life.
head
I'll never see you
looking at
something
because here
that's deep
I'm lost
like here
a kid
looking on
at the next
stairs
all I can't
stress
if I can't
travel
I'll never see you again, or something tells me, I'm easy to forget, then I'm easy to forget.
Then I looked down the one way to pass.
I'll never see you looking at something tells me
I'm not honest and I can't win
I said for over with an angel laugh
the spider cast
it all came true

Welcome to the program, if you will, Mr. Tom Merritt, who joins us from the Daily Tech News show
and it's headquarters in Los Angeles, California.
Hello, Tom.
Good morning, good morning, good to be here.
Good.
It's good to have you.
Good to have you, Tom.
He's got his coffee.
What are we drinking today?
What kind of brew you got there?
Oh, it's a little espresso pumpkin spice.
Oh, look at you in the holidays.
holiday spirit of things. That's fantastic.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Do you do that all fall?
You go to, you get the pumpkin spice wherever you go?
No. No, I really don't.
Actually, I do, I do eat a lot of actual pumpkin pie.
But my wife's a big fan of the espresso machine that a friend gave us for Christmas years back.
And I kind of like the pumpkin spice espresso pods.
Very nice.
Okay. Not going to lie.
Did you, I was going to ask you.
Oh, Tom's a big, he's a pie aficionado.
I don't want to let that go.
He's a, if you ever want, like, want pie advice and or just good discussion about pie, its consistency, it's history, when you know a good piece is coming your way, that sort of thing.
Maybe over promising on the history, but yeah, it doesn't, it doesn't just come from his love for Twin Peas.
He is a genuine pie fan.
Oh, yeah.
It's, it was fueled by my love for Twin Peaks, but yeah.
Sure.
All right.
Well, uh, pie, pie forever.
I, at, when I was at, um, it.
child, I was asking for pie for my birthday instead of cake.
Wow.
Good old birthday pie.
Isn't your dad as a scientist?
He gave you a 3.14 and that was, you had to live with it.
That's what you got.
He pulled out his T.I. calculator.
There you go.
There you go, son.
Don't spend it all at once.
All right.
Well, Tom, it's good to have you here.
As always, Wednesdays are, it's Tom time in the morning where we find out what's brewing in
the world of tech news because later today the daily tech news show happens, you know,
with or without us, but we'd love to hear what's happening. So what's going on today?
Well, yeah, we talked about this on Daily Tech News show yesterday, but the reverberations continue
of Meta's Facebook deleting all of its facial recognition data.
And what was funny is, you know, we had Nate Langson from Bloomberg on the show yesterday.
He's been covering tech for more than a decade, seasoned reporter. And even he was sort of like
just not willing to trust it.
Right? Like, just like, I don't know. I don't know if this is, this is, you know, a big deal.
Not that it wasn't a big deal, but like, I don't know if it's going to change my opinion about Facebook.
Seems like they're just pandering. These are not his actual words, but that was kind of the attitude of him and a lot of people yesterday.
And so we talked a little bit about the fact that, you know, if anyone else does this, it's huge.
This is absolutely what people who are against facial recognition want. They want a very, a very,
firm. We're getting rid of it all. We're just not going to use it anymore. And that's what they said they're going to do. Facebook is going to get rid of, it's going to delete all of the data it had on people who opted in. If you opted out, they don't have it. But if you opted in, and at one point they made it opt in, if you opted in, they kept it. They're going to, like, we don't even care if you said it's okay. We're getting rid of it. We're not going to use it anymore. If we research and develop any facial ID,
at all in the future it will be for securing your identity or preventing fraud it will be on
device it will not be connecting to servers and and yet Nate and a lot of people's reaction is like
nah but will it you know like they said they said and are going to do everything that anyone
who's on the extremist end of facial recognition would want them to do and and yet the distrust
of Facebook and its parent company meta
is so high at this point
that people aren't even welcoming that is like,
okay, yeah, that was a good move.
I'm not even seeing that.
Not very often.
I don't, I mean, it's funny.
You say it to me, and my automatic reaction is the same.
I don't know why I don't trust it.
I'm trying to think what has Facebook done to me
that I don't trust them for?
I don't love the overall ecosystem of Facebook,
not even speaking parent company-wise,
but just the service of Facebook is not my favorite thing in the world.
But I don't know that I've ever necessarily laid that out of the feet of Facebook.
I don't know what it is, but there's just something inherently untrustworthy about Facebook.
I feel like this is a good example that is less fraught than political examples of how we're being polarized, right?
Yeah. In this case, it's a good example because, you know, it's not like anybody's going to get mad at me, well, except maybe Mark's.
Zuckerberg, for, for, you know, pointing out something about Facebook. People aren't going to get
seriously upset one way or another on this side of things. But the constant drumbeat on
social media and in headlines has been Facebook is evil. Facebook does bad. Facebook hurt
democracy. Facebook hurt your children. Facebook hurt the spread of COVID. And some of these have
bases in facts, but most people aren't spending the time that we spend on Daily Tech News
show to dig in and find out like, all right, this is what actually was happened. This is the
implications of it. Most people are just seeing what goes by on Twitter and Facebook itself and
saying, ah, yeah, they're bad. And so I think that has built up even in the most, you know,
professional people, this idea of just gut reaction that I don't believe anything.
Facebook says anymore.
And I saw that a little bit with the coverage of the name change to meta, where the
implication was, well, they're trying to clean up their image by changing their name to
meta.
No, they're not.
The social networking platform Facebook is still going to be called Facebook.
Yeah.
And changing a parent company's name is a time-honored and fairly non-controversial decision.
When your company gets big enough that your signature product needs to be differentiated from
what else the company is doing. And we've seen that. And in a lot of other situations, going back to
the Holorith tabulating machine company changing its name to international business machines because
they did more than the Holorith tabulating machine anymore. Yeah. No, that's a, you make a really good
point. I think I agree with that for the most part. And I try to be as even handed with this stuff as
possible. It's just whatever they had in terms of like public trust just got away from them.
And it's, and maybe that's just a size problem. Maybe that's every time there's a leak like this
latest conversation about Google and Facebook colluding to try to get around Apple's security measures.
We covered that years ago. That is not even new. It's not even new. We covered that years ago at DTS.
And it was two companies agreeing on how their ad operations.
should interact. It's not even collusion. You just use the word collusion. And this is that
and that's a great example of the kind of thing I'm talking about where it just kind of spreads out
there like, oh, Google and Facebook fixed the ad market. They didn't, really. They are outsized
players in the ad market. So when they do what other companies already do, it has a bigger effect.
And that's worth talking about. But it's not the same thing as what it boils down to in the short
lexicon, which again, I'm not blaming people.
Nobody has time to pursue all the nuances of all these stories, but people like, yeah, I heard they fixed the ad market. Those two are evil, right? That's what it ends up being. Right, right. And it's because they're so huge and so pervasive and the issues are too complex for the average person to be worth their time to spend trying to think of all the nuance. Yeah, I thought it was more in recent with the change to iOS where it says, ask this app not to track me across other apps, that whole thing. I thought it was something to do with that. It's same agreement, though. Is it? Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
I thought there was something new about it.
Maybe I saw it yesterday.
It seemed like a reputable source.
No, and it is.
And it's a real story, but there's a lot of nuance to it where it's like, oh, okay, yeah.
No, this happens all the time in ad companies, and it's not illegal.
No.
It's just companies sort of staking out like, okay, you're going to do this, we're going to do that.
You know, because they're ad companies and they do business with each other.
It's people talking business.
I'm not saying it's great. I'm not trying to defend it, but it isn't collusion, at least, you know, as far as anything I've read so far, I haven't seen it meet the legal definition of collusion.
Yeah. Also, I don't know if this is a hot take or a new take or just my take, but all this stuff with the presentation last week of them talking about metaverse and 3D avatars and all that stuff.
I know they want to position themselves as being that company. They're going to be the ones who bring the metaverse to the masses.
the concept of the Metaverse.
It isn't going to be them.
So here's Scott's Hot Take.
It will not be Facebook.
It will be somebody else, and they'll probably be in the gaming world.
That's where it's going to happen.
It's where it's already happening in many ways.
Roblox has a much bigger chance of being at that company.
Yeah, Roblox has a better chance.
Fortnite has a better chance.
Valve has a better chance.
There is a better chance across.
There could be one single game we haven't even heard about or been announced yet
that will be the platform going to be.
forward, it is not going to be coming from that top down.
It will come from somewhere else up.
I'm 100%.
And it probably won't come from just one place, right?
It's probably going to be a combination of several of the places we're talking about it.
Yeah, exactly. It kind of needs to.
And new players that we don't even know.
Yeah.
Dice Tomato makes a funny point, though.
And some Facebook will just buy them and it'll be Facebook anyway.
Once possible.
It's possible.
I mean Oculus is a good example.
You mean meta.
You mean meta.
Oh, I'm sorry, meta.
Meta, yeah.
Well, I am definitely a meta critic.
Hey. I saw that on Twitter. That was pretty good.
I never met a company I didn't like.
Yeah.
Till now.
Very nice.
Till now.
Well, all right, then.
There's that.
And who knows what else?
We'll discover and tackle on the show today.
Oh, yeah.
We've got Sean Hollister from The Verge has declared, I'm going to exaggerate what Sean has said.
And I hope Sean doesn't get too bad.
He's declared that Nvidia, G-Force now is the best of the streaming services.
I agree with it.
He compared Amazon.
and Stadia and even Xbox
and he thinks
he prefers G-Force now. So we're going to have
him on to talk about why. He's got a great write-up
on the verge if you want to read his own words
about it. So that's coming up.
And if you missed yesterday's show, we talk a lot
about the metaverse. Nate Langson
was on the show to talk specifically
about his investigation of what does it actually
mean? Like, does anybody even know
what the metaverse is? And we touch on
your point, Scott, of like,
is meta really the one? In fact,
on Good Day internet, which is our Patreon.
exclusive show. We talked a lot about that sort of thing.
Like, who's really going to build this sort of thing?
So anyway, check those out. DailyTechnewshow.com and
patreon.com slash DTNS if you want to get those.
Fun little note. I got G4S now to work on my Xbox Series X through the edge browser.
It supports it in there.
Nice.
And it's, it has less latency than me playing the same game via X cloud somewhere else.
On the different machine.
Yeah. As much as I, as much as I, as much as.
as I like Xclab, and I do. I really like Xclab, mostly for the selection, because
you know, Game Pass is huge and it's great. But the latency is
there. It's noticeable in a way that it is not as noticeable. It's
there, too, but it's not as noticeable. Geforce Now. That thing is
pretty rad. So I'm excited to talk to him about that today. That'll be great.
Yeah, yeah, this is going to be a fun conversation. In fact, I may just lean
back and let you and Sean go at it because you guys live this and I can't wait to
hear your thoughts on it. It's going to be great. So tune in, 230 Mountain Time for that.
Anything else going on, personal stuff?
Anything else you want to mention?
Personal stuff.
Oh, no, I just, uh, last week, uh, had a lot of new people, uh, pop into the, the free Tom
newsletter, free tom newsletter.com and, uh, and, and, and, and say hi and send, send emails,
because you can just respond to that newsletter and I'll chat with you.
Uh, and had some fun conversations with people.
So thank you for that.
Nice.
I really appreciate that.
Yeah, go sign up if you haven't, free tom newsletter.com.
One day, he'll be free.
That's the point.
And we're trying to free him.
Someday.
Someday.
Someday. We'll see you later today.
Bye, Tom.
See, Tom.
All right.
Meta.
Meta.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages.
We're going to add someone else to the call right now.
And you'd think, wait, isn't it Nicole?
No, last week she now, she's got a job at the school.
She's not here in the morning's anymore.
Not for a while anyway.
So instead, this.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the show.
one Randall Jordan
of some fame and renown
here on the Frog Pants Network. Hello, Randy.
Fame and renown. Hi.
Hi. Hello. Hello. Look at this room. Good morning.
How are you? We have video of Randy
and I haven't seen his hair and that is long,
awesome hair. My gosh.
It is. That's when you don't get a haircut for
two years straight. Wow.
That's what that is. Great clips in Southern California?
Yeah. Yeah, really something.
I've not seen you, I guess, physically in that long.
That's weird. Yeah.
That's weird.
Weird.
I haven't thought about that.
I've been sitting in this chair for 20 months now.
It's like, it's like, McRib is back.
I'm not.
Yeah.
I'm not back.
I'm right where I've been.
Yeah.
Do you have any desire to eat a McRib?
Any, any, uh, very much.
Tomorrow is my birthday.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
I'm probably going to get a McRib for lunch.
That's probably going to happen.
All right.
Sam, you're going to allow this?
I know Sam's in the chat.
Sam, you letting this happen?
This is going to be a thing that you went through.
I, I, yeah, this is like, this is like,
big deal for me. Like, uh, I, I sent you this old commercial, like the first commercial for McRib, uh, Scott.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. And it's like, it's like that commercial is one of the very first things I ever
remember, like from my childhood. Like, really? My earliest memory was seeing that commercial and wanting
to go to McDonald's, which was in the next town over. Because I was in the town that was a little bit too
small to even have a McDonald's. Yeah. And then the, the next town over was a little bigger. They had the
McDonald's. And so my mom always used that against me. I don't want to drive a.
all the way to Harlingen to get a McDonald's.
Nobody wants to go to Harlingen.
I can tell you.
Let me play it real quick.
I'm just going to show the chat.
Hold on.
Chat room.
Here's that McRib commercial.
Look, right here.
Watch.
This is video and audio.
Well, you're fine.
When you bite into McDonald's McRib sandwich,
you'll find McRib in the middle is swimming and soft.
It's McRib.
Not a selling point.
Wait.
The fact that it's swimming in sauce is not a selling point, yeah.
Okay.
Better give me more.
Give me more because right now you've lost me, McDonald's.
I freaking love that.
What do you find in the middle?
Yeah.
All right, excellent stuff.
Hey, Ray.
I tell you, everybody has those songs in their head.
Mine, I'm seriously, the rest of my life.
Oh, McRib in the middle and a swim in and stuff.
Seriously, the rest of my life.
Wow.
That's what I've got.
All right.
What do you find in a McRib sandwich?
Well, a McRib and a whole crap ton of sauce.
Is there more?
Is there something?
Because that's what I'd expect.
Those people were stoked.
They were all in that commercial.
They were all lifting up the bun and then going,
like, look what I've got.
It's literally swimming in sauce.
Yeah, amazing.
I'm sold.
Get another one.
Wow.
All right.
You know what?
That works on a little kid.
That's all I'm saying.
That's my whole point.
Exactly.
Yeah, it's probably who they're aiming for there.
And I, and I just like, it's my job to carry us forward, guys.
This is my favorite segment on the morning stream going back to, going back to like 2012.
This is my favorite segment on the morning stream every week.
So it is a pleasure and an honor to be here.
I love that you guys are going to keep doing this.
And I'm going to help as much as I can.
Absolutely.
You're going to get to experience the joy of me sniping your picks before you can even get them out.
That's fine.
That's fine.
I actually have been building a catalog of recommendals going backwards from last week to try to just have like a, you know, try to avoid doing doing,
doing that thing that you guys regularly do
where you recommend something that you just
recommended three weeks ago.
And it's very interesting.
I really, really like the general vibe.
It's a tricky balance because
none of us want to know what each other saw
because it's fun guessing.
But then when we find out someone
kifed somebody else's, then we're
in hot water.
But I'm not worried today because everyone's files
look different, so I feel pretty good about it.
And I just want to put a disclaimer on
This is my first time sending you a file, a sound file from a show.
And I messed up.
I messed up.
I want to say, I pulled from a trailer.
And so instead of pulling from the show, I will not do that again.
It's really loud.
I apologize.
It's from a trailer.
It's got full music and everything.
Don't stress because I go and I tweak these anyway.
So they're all lined up for volume.
So you're always good.
No matter what you send me, if it's too quiet, too loud, I always, I always equalize it for the show.
Okay.
All right.
Good.
All right, so let's start. Brian, we always start with you because it's a grand tradition, and we're not changing that. Let's get into it here. Why the hell is your pitcher not coming up? There we go. Brian, set up this first one for me, will you?
Sure. My first, I've got two today. Excuse me. Nothing to sneeze at. First, though, I've got one that is good, and then I've got one that's great. We're going to start with the one that's good.
This is a 2021 limited series and very good premise and pretty good.
Execution.
All right then.
Let's check it out.
Your husband drove to work this morning?
He wrote his bike for the exercise.
He always does.
What sort of work does he do?
He's a physical therapist at the university.
He works at the Merit Sports Center.
When your husband left the house this morning,
did he have his phone with him?
Laptop.
Yeah, his phone.
We try calling it.
You can trace it, right?
Yeah.
We will.
What was his, uh, one tool state?
When you last saw him.
I don't know, um, normal, I guess.
Cheerful.
Your husband is holding a sign.
That says I abuse women.
Do you have any idea what that might be referring to?
Why don't you focus on, at 5 million hits, I die?
Nick is the gentlest person you could ever meet.
He would never hurt anyone, man or woman.
Yeah.
Do you recognize the handwriting? Is it ninks?
Yes.
That doesn't mean it's true.
He was obviously forced to write that.
Is it neck?
No, it's Ethan.
Excuse me, detective.
I have to get back to my kids.
Of course, we have everything we need for the moment.
Is this that clickbait, right?
Yes, exactly what it is.
Okay.
My wife is watching it, and I remember the scene.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
So the premise is that this husband and brother of these main characters you just heard
is all of a sudden appearing in a YouTube equivalent,
video holding up a sign that says i views women he puts that sign down picks up another sign
that says at five million views i die oh wow and uh uh the the view count because it's going
viral is going up what are they going to do how are they going to find him and save him in time
um the it's a eight eight episode limited series they do a great job of setting up the premise
and then following different characters in each episode to kind of
lay out what's happening and
what has happened.
There's some really clever,
in my opinion, really clever twists.
It's got a slightly better than the
Eternals rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
A good audience score, like a 64% audience score,
58% tomato meter.
But it's a limited series, so
you know, you've only got one to commit to, and it's
actually really, really good.
You're hearing Zoe Kazan.
Yeah.
It was excellent in the Big Sick.
Yeah.
She was the one who was sick in the big sick.
I think she was also in that Buster Scruggs thing as well.
Oh, I know her. Okay.
And the husband in this show is also Adrian Greiner, or Grenier, who was the main character or the main guy of any chase in Entourage, but has been doing so much better work since then.
And it's great.
It is a really, really good way of revealing information and revealing the story over the course of the eight episodes.
My wife enjoyed it for whatever it's worth.
For some reason, this is when she watched without me and while I was doing something else.
But she thought it was all right.
Okay.
So it's good.
Maybe it's not great, but good.
Good.
It's a good story.
It's told well.
And I enjoyed it.
I wanted more.
And I kind of wanted, the only issue I could come up with is, is while the twist, the ending twist is a surprise, I would have liked more clues as to what that final reveal was going to be earlier in the series.
Oh, she was in the deuce.
So I might have had a chance to come up with it myself.
Gotcha.
And when we say limited series, we pretty much all agree that they're telling us that's it.
They're not going to make a sequel.
They're not going to make a second season.
No season two.
Exactly.
you really you really need a limited series like say mayor of east town to tell an entire story and then stop like don't lead me on at all at the end i kind of like that there's a new uh the new matt flanagan well all the matt flanagan things are are basically that or not matt i keep saying matt it's mike flanagan
mike flammigan yeah you know why i would have to say matt because that's that's jennie josephson joseph's and husband yeah it would be a really good comedy about the the the david letterman top ten list that would really piss jerry off if it was that's right
If he was here, it'd be so mad.
And midnight,
Midnight Mass stops in the most stoppy way possible, right?
Like,
like that's,
and that's one of those,
another one of those things,
like watching Midnight Mass,
which I've been obsessing about for two months now.
I,
you just,
like,
I'm constantly wanting more.
I want a whole,
I want a long series set in this town on this island,
and I want to get to know all the characters really well.
I loved that.
I ended up finishing it over the weekend and I loved,
loved that series.
I want more.
He can make no.
He can make nothing crappy, is my opinion.
And I'm going to go back and watch some stuff.
I haven't, like hush, which is an early thing he did with half these same people.
He always drags these actors around with him.
What was the other one?
Some other one.
Anyway, Mike Flanagan forever, is what I'm saying.
All right, Brian, you got two clips here.
Second one.
That's right.
Second one is, so if that one was good, this one is great, I will admit.
I'm only part of the way I've finished the first season.
I'm halfway through the second season.
I'm sorry, one episode from the end of the second season.
And this is a thing that I am really, really enjoying.
And more people need to see this.
All right.
Let's check it out.
Realize that the news will be talking about us every day.
And every family in this country will be wondering.
What are they doing?
What else will they be thinking?
Those motherfuckers, I wish I had thought of that first.
The professor.
No criminal record.
No registration.
Hasn't renewed his ID since he was 19.
For all intents and purposes, a ghost, but a very intelligent ghost.
We're not stealing their money.
It's not theirs.
And for that reason alone, they're going to like us.
And that's vital.
It is vital that we have positive support from the public.
We'll be seen as fucking heroes in this country.
But be very careful.
Because the second any blood is shed, and this is very important.
If there's a single victim, we'll stop being Robin Hoods,
and we're simply going to become a bunch of sons of bitches.
professor yes miss tokyo what are we rapping royal mint of spain i have no idea i do professor i know randy does
because you actually kind of recommended this to me during a recent film sack uh that's the professor
this is the reboot of gilligan's island called money heist wow that's fantastic the professor sounds
like a different actor.
Amazing.
It does.
Totally.
They recast the professor.
This is,
so this is the newest,
well,
not really the newest,
because it's older
than Squid Game,
but this is the other
really popular
Netflix foreign series
with a bunch of people
in jumpsuits and masks.
Money Heist is a
Spanish import,
both subtitles available
in dubbing,
that you were hearing
the dubbing,
which I found to be
less distracting than the Squid Game
dubbing.
Yeah,
that actually sounded
All right.
It's not bad.
They've got some good actors doing the dubbing for money heist.
Five seasons, start in 2017, and the premise is that you've got this group of eight criminals being led by a professor, and they are breaking into the royal mint of Spain and stealing money.
And there are hostages, there are betrayals, there are twirls.
there are twists and turns and all sorts of great things.
This is excellent, and I highly recommend it.
Now, I don't know, the show isn't over, as of right now.
They're five seasons in, and you're thinking, oh, my God, so okay, they probably rob this place,
and then they go and rob another place and go on rob another place, and over the course of five seasons.
I'm not going to say anything more than, no, that's not what happens.
Okay.
But the story is not told in a very quick fashion, although each, you know, it is a very satisfying way that they're telling the story. It's very, very well, well done. And it's very popular, 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Really good. Nobody in the cast that you'd recognize, unless you're a fan of Spanish television or movies. But everybody in there is really good. And they think, like I said, I think they did a really good job of,
casting the voice actors for the dubbing.
If you prefer subtitles, go for the subtitles, obviously, but...
That's good.
I like a good dub.
And like Squid Game, if I'm going to read while I'm watching a show, I need the characters to look really interesting, and this one takes it.
Like, the professor himself is an actor named Olivero Morte, and he's just interesting to look at.
He is.
He actually does look like Jimmy Fallon with a fake.
beard and glasses.
Yeah.
There's a character,
there's a character,
there's a character, a woman named Tokyo,
and she is just really interesting to look at.
I cannot stop looking at Tokyo.
I'm a big fan of Tokyo.
Yes.
That's awesome.
I want to see, this was on my,
it's in my queue,
because it just looked cool on the surface,
but it's nice to hear it's rad.
It is rad.
It lives up to all the hype it's getting,
and I'm surprised I haven't jumped in
sooner since this was a while.
It's been out for a while.
And it makes me want to look back and see if I saw people in red jumpsuits with
Salvador dolly masks and didn't pick up on it on Halloween occasions.
Oh, maybe.
Yeah.
What's the, sorry, the name of the thing again?
Oh, it's called Money Heist.
Both of these shows, Clickbait and Money Heist, are both on Netflix.
Nice.
Let's fly over to HBO Max for mine this week.
I have just the one.
And I'll play a clip.
And you might know it. I don't know. Maybe not. Here it is.
Listen, I was hoping you give up, man. Try something different like baseball.
Oh, no, I'm more of a bassoon guy.
What does that even mean?
I love sitting in the background with a large nondescript instrument, just flapping my lips, willy-nilly.
Tom, yeah.
I want you to listen to what I'm saying. There's defining moments in your life that if you listen, it'll change your whole life.
I played the tube as a kid. Look where it got me now.
It seemed like you're doing great.
I'm lonely. I'm overweight, and I'm a light stealer. I light steel. There, I said it.
You steal things?
They're not like literally in my pocket, but I leave things under the basket.
I put it up against the side, hope they don't see it.
Oh.
Is that what you want to turn into?
I mean, you're not selling me on the whole lifestyle, no.
All right.
Oh, my God, a great poll, too.
Yeah, what a fun clip.
So it definitely sounds animated.
I don't, I don't recognize what this is from.
Any guess, Randy?
What do you?
Yeah.
What is it?
Yeah, that was, I'm forgetting the name of one of, I, I, I forget his name, but that's got to be
10-year-old Tom. That is 10-year-old Tom. Well done. This is an animated show. So, Brian, you are
correct. It's animated and on HBO Max. It's an HBO Max original. Written and created by
Steve Dildarian, who is a comedian. Yeah, it's a weird name, so it's easy to forget.
An unfortunate name, really. Yeah. Kind of. Dildarian, who owns a string of dildo stores.
No, he's known for a couple of animated things
And very similar style to the last thing he did
I forgot what it's called
But this one is relatively new
It stars a bunch of people you know
You know Jillian Jacobs

She's on it
She plays this kid named Dakota
Todd Glass stand-up comedian plays the principal
You heard him there in that clip
Along with Dildarian is Tom
Brian Browers
who else. Oh, John Malkovich is in this. He plays a character called Mr. B. And John Malkovich
plays a, he's basically the drama teacher, but he also does band stuff. Yeah, it's band and
drama. And I don't know why John Malkovich is in this. I just know that he makes it
really funny. He is very, very funny in this. The kind of show this is, oh, Jennifer Coolidge is great
too. She plays Dakota's mom. She's in it. Oh, and I almost
I almost forgot. Mark prox, however you say his last name. He's Colin, Colin Robinson,
from what we do in the shadows. Oh, really? Okay. He plays Dakota's dad, this girl's dad. The
energy vampire. And he is a riot, but he's basically just playing Colin Robinson again. It's
kind of the same character in a lot of ways. But it's very funny, very, what's the word I'm
looking for here? Very, what, irreverent? No.
So, like, really just, I don't know what to call it.
There's a word for this, not downbeat.
It's got a real chill kind of, like, improvved quality to it.
Okay.
I can't think of the word.
There's a word for this, a certain kind of humor.
Low key, maybe it's low-key humor.
Kind of deadbeat, not deadbeat.
What's the word I'm looking for?
Anyway, whatever that word is, it's that kind of humor.
Yeah.
If I had anything to compare, dry humor, there you go.
If I had anything to compare it to be, compare it to, it would be like Bob's burgers sort of ish, where, you know, people are just sort of, you know, Bob's just kind of like, oh, geez, okay, whatever.
You know, like there's that kind of like everyday quality to people in it.
That's what this is like.
10-year-old Tom is about a 10-year-old in school and his friends.
They're all played by adults, which is also very Bob's burgers.
and it uses this really crappy style of art but on purpose like it's you know definitely meant
to look the way it looks and I got completely hooked on it I love it I'm like I don't know
eight episodes in or something and and it's just great it's funny it's very home movies yeah
it's another good example because there's just a lot of a lot of improv and kind of dialogue
that doesn't feel like it was on the page feels like they're just kind of making it up as
they go and I really jive with that little Kirby enthusiasm kind of
out of it too as well.
And have either of you finished season three
of what we do in the shadows?
Midway.
My daughter and I are watching it together
and our schedules are weird,
so we haven't finished.
We're waiting for all of it to be released
because that's a show we really want to binge and just
Yeah, it's all done.
Yeah, it's all out.
It's no spoilers.
Absolutely no spoilers.
But as you know, if you've been watching,
this is the Colin Robinson season.
And, man, there's some highlights
in this season.
Like, there's an episode where they all go to
to Atlantic
city together. Oh my gosh. It's
so legendary. Nice.
I need to finish it up. I really
like what I've seen so far the season, so I'm pretty
excited about it. But anyway, HBO
Max, 10-year-old Tom, it's available now.
You can watch the whole thing, binge it.
I don't know how many seasons there are.
Is there just the one? Yeah, just the one. It's this year.
It's brand new. I hadn't even heard
of it. I just bumped into it by accident and then
went, what's this, and played it and loved it.
So check it out.
And it's just, it's not, you know,
HBO animation could be like, hey, an excuse to swear and show cartoon boobs or whatever, right?
Like we can really go Johnny Rotten with the whole thing. But this show is, it has its moments.
It'll drop an F here and there. It'll have, you know, someone will say shit here and there.
You'll have an awkward reference here and there. But it's all done. Think of it as like TMS almost.
Like, you know how we kind of skirt on the edges and things?
Show does that. And it's funny when they do because it's just my kind of humor.
So anyway, I like it a lot. Check it out. Let's now turn it over to Randy. Randy, I have a clip, but do you want to set this up?
Just straight up, this is a series. And it is something that I may have been a recommendal a couple of years ago. I'm not certain. But it is highly recommended now. It has really grown on everyone. And that's what brought me to it recently.
Okay. Sounds like a series to me. I'm going to hit play.
and see what we get.
You're declaring war on the greatest military force in the world.
This is not our fight.
If we walk away, thousands of people will die.
I know this enemy.
I was this enemy.
They fight you and slain.
We fight for freedom.
I say we open our gate right now.
And welcome them to hell.
Yeah.
There are weapons more powerful as sorts.
They look the key to our future.
Welcome home, Baba.
so it's this show my daughter's begging me to watch finally and i haven't yet but this i think
this is c it is c yes and the last and the very last voice you heard was dave bautista welcome home baba
that's right the main character is named bob ross it's bizarre like that jason mammoa's character
named bob ross yeah his name is bob ross uh so uh so what i was saying earlier this is a
a show that was panned in its first season.
First season came out two years ago, and it's in the 40s that season on Rotten Tomatoes.
And I know why.
I watched it the first episode, too, and I disliked it immensely.
And I just never continued.
But what happens in the second episode of the first season is they jump forward 15 years,
and it becomes very interesting.
And I just never knew that.
I didn't know.
And so a couple of years go by, they make a second season.
it comes out and then people are telling me you need to watch this show it's like really
entertaining and i'm like okay guess what second season on rotten tomatoes 80% so they're they're
doing something right so here we go and i'm telling you man jason moa is incredible all you also
heard uh alf alf alfrey or alfie woodard yeah she's awesome um alfrey woodard uh she is uh like
the the best thing in the show incredible legendary actor
And, and music by Bear McCreary, this is a, this is a show that was created by the same person that created Peaky Blinders.
Oh, yeah.
And it's just got, it's got such a pedigree.
And, you know, like, we talk about prestige television and how it's really, it's really not a thing until you get to high definition.
You get to streaming services needing to bring you to their service.
And I just don't, I don't understand why Apple TV, Apple Plus hasn't, it's on Apple Plus, why they haven't pushed this more.
because this is the reason to subscribe to Apple Plus as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, I get an ad on Twitter every other day, I feel like, for this particular show.
And then I have my, seriously, my daughter, chewing my ear off going, Dad, you have no idea how cool this is.
You have to watch.
You have to watch it.
This is so up your alley.
Yeah.
Yeah, like you, I shied away from the first season because of the bad reviews, but I'm putting it on my list to give it a chance.
Like, bear down and grit your teeth through the first couple of episodes of the first season.
Okay.
It finds its story like around episode three.
Like seriously, it has no idea where it's going.
And then it gets a direction and it is incredible.
I like the premise, they tell you right from the beginning.
The premise is that a thousand years from now, something half this post-apocalyptic story,
something happened to cause everyone who survives it to be blind.
They're born blind.
They live blind.
And so it's a hard pill to swallow as a viewer.
because you want to apply science and reason to everything you're seeing.
And you've got to not do that.
You have to check your brain.
Like this is telling you a story that has nothing to do with the reality of what these people would be experiencing.
And then it just, oh, there's a mad queen.
You know, like there's an adventure across a desert, a forest and so on.
like it's just um yeah yeah yeah game of thrones with uh yeah more jason mamma i'm all in i like
mamma i like him with a beard too he does he has a beard in this unlike uh dune where he has no beard
and was it brian that says he's like a hot dog without a bun or he is yeah it just it just isn't
right it's uh so moa and and batista man those two should do something together yeah they're
really ought to yeah right yeah they really should yeah like may i don't know dune dune maybe
maybe dune uh that's awesome uh very good recommendations this
week and I don't know
Randy you feel like tweeting these

Randy you got anything else going on we talked about
film sack earlier you excited about Geo Storm
how do you feel about that not in the slightest
it's gonna be fun
I'm more excited about GeoTracker
yeah GeoTracker oh that was the sequel
that none of us asked for but man
weren't we glad to get
that sequel. It's fantastic.
I'm really glad. I'm really glad about Geostorm. Anytime we get to all sit down and watch
movie together, it's a lot of fun. And we have such a good upcoming list. I know I say that
all the time, but it's like, man, this list of movies we're going to watch just tickles me pink.
Yeah, it turns out. Turns out there's an undending source of content for film sec. Little
did we know 10, sorry, 11 years ago that that would be the case. I'm sorry, 12 years ago. Wait,
2009. Is it been 12 years?
Oh, shit.
No, no, it's 11.
No, we started...
We just hit 11.
No, no.
So we started October 09.
I think we just hit 12.
Oh, it was 09.
Okay.
Why didn't I think you started in 07?
I don't know, but that's crazy how much time has passed.
Holy shit.
All right.
Well, and that's how long Randy's been growing his hair.
Well done.

And now sit and listen as Brian sits

But he'll give us a song to play
at the end of today's show.
How's that? I'll gesture towards it.
Yeah, Alan from Salt Lake, said
Brian, I've been following this guy at
Chris Eves and the New Normal on
TikTok. And I think it's about Tom
I shared. He does a lot of covers that combine
or reimagine popular songs in a different
genre. No special occasion. You can play
it whenever it fits, Doug the kimono, Alan, from SLC.

Exactly. All right. So this is a cover of the Britney Spears song,
Baby One More Time, done is kind of like a 70s
guitar heavy, almost funk,
kind of like a Grand Funk Railroad or a Three Dog Night
kind of style. It's so good. Chris Eves and the new normal
from release this year with their cover of Baby One More Time.
