Hello? Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It is the morning stream for November 8th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson. He is Brian Ibid.

Happy Monday to you. We've missed a Monday here and there. So we weren't here last Monday. This is what Monday looks like. You're right. Also, happy Horizon Zero, not Zero, Horizon, Horizon, Fortza Horizon 5 Eve. Oh, okay. All right. Big release on GamePath tonight. That's a car racing game, right? Yeah, it's a good one too, because it's like, you know, the mainline Fordsa games are for car nerds. Not really my thing. It's okay, but, you know, I don't care about realism so much.

I just want to have fun. The Horizon series of Forts of games, like, meat in the middle. It's like, here are these actual cars. There's a decent amount of realism. You can sort of control how much realism you want. But it's like a big open world kind of do a bunch of crazy, Quest. One of them's jump over this church and land in the lake. You know, weird shit like that. Like, remember Burnout Paradise? You remember that game?

I loved Burnout Paradise. It's a lot like that. Okay. Oh, well, you know what? Now you've pushed me away, but you've pulled me back in. That's what you've just done. And I know you've got a game pass for your freebie backbone thing. So you should play that on XCloud or browser or something. All right. I will do that. That's a very cool game. So that's tonight. Benjian, I don't disagree with you. Twisted metal is one of the greatest car games.

I love Twisted Metal. Yeah. Hardly, I wouldn't call it a racing game, though. It's a, it's a battler, a battle royal kind of thing. Yeah, it's more like a death match thing. I mean, the fact that there's not, I mean, I guess they are rumoredly working on it, but the fact that there's not a twisted metal game out and in the form of a battle royale with like lots of people is it is a crime like i don't care about fortnight do not care about any of these

battle royale games would i care if it was all wrapped around the twisted metal series hell yeah i would care then you'd get me yes that's that would get me for sure i'd find a pfive for that all right look at this uh so check this out we had a weekend and as as weekends go things things went down oh no okay so i talked to you a lot because we did stuff we had a We had film sac, we had a play date, yeah. So we were, you know, as usual, the couple that isn't married but spends the most time together still spend a lot of time together. That's right, exactly. And it was all, you know, well spent.

But here's the deal. My same-sex podcast. There you go. So Saturday, right after I get done with you guys, or no, Sunday, I guess. Yeah, because we recorded Sunday. Right after I get done with you guys, Kim's knocking on my door and I go, hey, what's up? She goes, come out here. There's water again.

I'm like, oh, that flood things back. Oh, but now you have your black light. Yeah, I got the black lights. like, where is it? Turns that doesn't really help because water doesn't work with black lights. I didn't realize that. Oh, yeah, I was thinking it would do it if there's some sort of particulate in the water, you know, some sort of thing that would register.

Yeah, like a contaminant or like too much bleach or who knows, you know, whatever. But it didn't show anything. It just shows enough. Live critter, live bacteria or something. But I have been having fun using that light on all kinds of stuff. It's great. Oh, God, you'll have to tell us after this. Yeah.

So I go out there and sure enough, it's come into the carpet a little bit, But now we've caught it in the act. And there was no rain, so it had nothing to do with any storms. Oh, really? Because I thought that that was a great theory. The whole, like, water traveling down the line that comes from outside. Yeah, I was sure that was it and wasn't at all. That thing's all dry, all good.

What it is, is back in July, early August, I guess, we had a water softener installed. Okay. And it's this great big tank, black tank thing down here just across from me and the other side of the studio wall over there and in the furnish room and that thing only does its thing every 15 days okay so if you have a water softener i guess this is normal it's like on a cycle so it does its thing oh really okay does its filter or whatever and then every 15 days does it again it's about what does it do like fill your hot water heater with softened water or i don't actually know what it's doing um i talked to somebody who installs these is oh yeah that's normal they they have a

They have a cycle. It's a little bit like if, you know, you had, I don't know, your sprinkler set for every 15 days or something like that. Empties and drains and refill says major spoilers. Okay, there you go. So that makes sense. It's always, it's meant to be a filter. So empty, drain, refill.

Got it. That's what's doing it. And it's only happening, though every, that's why we would see it. And then we're like, well, we're just a little bit more than every two weeks. We couldn't figure out. Yeah, that makes sense. And it's not coming out of the drain. We tracked it to the same because now we're seeing actual live water in there.

It's only around the base of the softener and then rivers out to the edge of the carpet. Then the carpet just acts like a sponge and pulls it. But, and it's not a ton of water. Yeah. And it's not ongoing. It's just as soon as it does whatever the frick it does, that's when it's happening. And so we caught it in the act. I got some video of it.

We called the people who installed the thing. And we're like, you hefted up, get out here. So they're coming out tomorrow. And they'll hopefully figure out what the frick is going on because that thing is leaking or something. So it's not in a place where there's a concrete floor with a drain. It is. It is. More was too much was coming out of it.

Well, so some of it is going to the drain, but the way that the cement in there is a little uneven. So it's meant to slope. But where they installed it, the slope is not. quite happening yet. So some of it's coming off to the right and then coming down toward where the door is. And again, it's not a ton. It's not like a river or anything, but it's enough to do this. So anyway, they're going to come tomorrow, hopefully fix whatever they effed up.

I knew something was skeezy about that guy back in June or July. There was something about him. I'm just saying he was there a little too long. It felt like he was a little too fiddly. I just had a feeling. A little sketchy. Yeah, I had a feeling that maybe he wasn't their best guy, you know what I mean? Like, we like this company.

They've always taken good care of us, but he seemed maybe like he's done this one other time. So, you know, like, it's like one of this somewhere. But usually those guys come with another guy that kind of makes sure that they're doing the right thing, that they're doing the work the right way. He felt like that he felt like that guy in every sci-fi movie that's in the drop ship going, or someone else says to him. So sure how many times you've been on an active thing, you know. Three times. simulated you know like exactly yes it's that guy so anyway they did not send their top man no this is bottom man bottom man anyway we'll find out tomorrow what's going on i want to give

a shout out to vincent manucci who is uh who's an expert of this stuff and he's been kind of oh he is handholding me a bit on this oh good yeah he's great he's uh you know he's inspector uh house inspector guy and former america's next top podcaster contestant that's right don't forget get his that's his important resume right there those two things right yeah exactly also a fine podcaster in his own right does great work right and uh i shared a share the panel stage with him at uh a blizzcon one year and our little uh our heroes event thing that we did there very cool whatever that was called we had a name for it and i don't remember but it was a good time anyway i'll miss those days these were a great days we need a new we need a replacement for bliscon for all of us like uh you know

not one that we are hosting, not a TMS Vegas, not a, you know, something that we go and we attend and, uh, yeah, we got to figure that out. I don't know what it's going to be. I mean, it sounds like, like Blizzard's in no rush to bring it back for a bunch of reasons. Yeah, exactly. They don't want to bring back the Bill Crosby Hotel. No. No. Or sweet, whatever, whatever, however it was phrased, the weird way that it was typoed and phrased in that document. Yeah, the document to call it Crosby. They did call it Crosby. Yes. But the lawyers or the paralegals is, that was weird how they got there. It is weird. Because it was multiple times. So, yeah, be on the lookout, everybody. Find

a fun convention in either Orange County or Las Vegas and that we can just kind of converge on. We can all be attendees and go to that. Yeah, I would love that. Well, I guess that's what the Texas pinball festival is going to be. Oh, it is going to be that. Yeah. Is that still, I mean, as far as we know, we're still on? As far as we know, we're still on, you know, this, as Paul McCartney so eloquently put it, in this ever-changing world in which we live in, which drives me nuts because it's so damn redundant. Right now, in this ever-changing world in which we live in, it's still on. Everyone's been saying it forever. Yes.

Did you see any, I can't believe that stuff that happened in Houston with that concert. Oh, man, the Travis Scott. Travis Scott thing, yeah. Astro world. Yeah, no, that's horrendous. Eight people dead? Yeah. I can't even imagine, like, the crowd's pushing so hard towards the barriers that it's like,

that's what I'm assuming, right? Because you see the photos of the crowd just the throng moving forward and just crushing the people against the barriers in the front. Yeah, it was really bad. And they, um, the worst thing I saw, there's a, there's a backstage photo or video of a camera dude who's like in charge of a lot of the production back there. right right and a bunch of these women who work there and some other people are coming up to him and yanking on his shirt going dude we have to stop the show we have to stop somebody dead stop the show and he wouldn't stop no and i don't know what that is is that was somebody working there because it looked like it was just a fan and not that's any reason for him to disregard that but still i thought he was a camera dude that was like running stuff and had like a headset he was a camera dude but i thought the video that i saw of a woman running up there and telling him to stop because there was somebody dead i thought she was just a an attendee and not somebody else working there but oh i see well even then though just listening oh even then right exactly it's still i'm not defending the guy at all because he should have absolutely stopped someone's dead okay yeah let me let me get on the the comms we're gonna get this thing gone i mean i'm a big free market guy

i'm i'm a big believer in you know competition drives innovation and everybody should you know work hard and blah blah i'm that but also i'm i get to the point where i see stuff like that And I go, the show must go on is not more important than eight freaking dead people. Like, stop the show. And, you know, somebody said, somebody just said, I don't know what the camera guy was going to do because he doesn't have power. Well, he's got a walkie-talkie to the person who's directing things. And he can say, listen, somebody just came up to me, said that somebody's dead. We need to, can we get somebody up there to check it out and make sure, you know, see if.

Yeah, it's just a, it's just a priorities thing, man. Something, exactly. I don't know. Bums me out. All right. there's that. Now, I also had a weird experience. Okay. All right. I like weird experiences. These are good for the show. We were in a place that we love, Kim and I like to go regularly called The Porch.

It's this southern food, but done. It's the front of your house. I wish. It would be nice and convenient. But they make really great kind of southern infused food. And it's great. If you're ever in like the South Jordan area, check out the porch. It's awesome. In the summer, it's really great. They have outdoor seating. It's just really pretty and it's just nice. Anyway, so we're over there having a little date and a guy walks in with the most glorious epic beard I've ever seen. This thing went from his, he was like the crystal gale of beards. Okay. All right. So his length as opposed to bulk.

Yes, correct. But it was so, I could tell, it was oiled and perfectly manicured every day, like really important or whatever. And so I said to Kim, I go, oh, we got to get a picture of this guy. And she goes, yeah, we'll do it. When we're about to leave, we'll just say, hey, your beards are really cool. Can we get a picture of you? And I'll put it up online or whatever. So we were going to ask him, right? We weren't going to just take it.

And so we sat down and they ended up getting seated right next to us or a table away from us. And he's there with his two little kids. We're not going to bother him while he's eating. We're just waiting for the whatever. But then things got weird. Oh, no. We started listening to. And he started to pull you.

more kids out of his beer. Oh, that would have been so much better. I would have loved that. No, it wasn't that. Instead, it was, so his daughter and his son, I assume they're both his kids, are sitting there. And he does this thing where he picks up a carrot like a half, like a baby carrot. Yeah. This is after they get in their food and he puts his elbow on the table and looks at his daughter and holds it right in front of him and goes, you want a carrot.

And she's like, no. he goes, oh, you want a carrot. It was this real, that tone was weird. It was weird, right? That is a really weird tone, yeah. And I don't mean, you know, I don't mean any of this sexual. It's creepy, right, he wasn't saying it in a creepy sexual way. No, no, no, just a creepy general way.

Like, just a kind of like a guilty. Did he have an accent? Like, no, just like it. Oh, okay. Sound like a normal guy, but he was very, like, carrots are very, very, very careful. You want a carrot? You want to carrot? You want a carrot?

that this is so much better than your french fry he says it that way and did it singular like that when he said french fry and i'm going oh and kim's like yeah like it was just weird and he talked this way to his kids the entire time oh oh geez okay it wasn't just like a one-off or him go joking around just a really weird dude at one point he looked at the sun and said are you having or no have you enjoyed what you have eaten like that that's how he says it and the kid goes the kid just doesn't say anything he just sinks behind the table and goes under the table and like is now down there puttering around with a phone yeah i would say it too i would have too to get the h out of there man like what the

heck is this guy so anyway you know maybe he's training he's practicing for a role of a of a bad guy in a 90s action film i guess so he was he definitely had the bad guy thing down so by the I have taken over the world's water supply, and I will control the financial Wall Street. But before any of that, would you like a carrot? Would you like a carrot? You like a carrot? So much better than french fry. But so he that, so at the end of this, Kim looks at me and she goes, I'm not asking him.

And I'm like, I don't think he should have. Yeah, no. It's just weird. No, I don't believe you. That's, uh... I don't want to get to know this guy any more than I do. So we got out of there and we're like, all right, that was interesting. Hopefully, maybe we'll never run into that dude again, but it's very, very odd.

So, yeah, eat your French fry, eat your carrot. Whatever you do, don't be weird, is what I'm saying. Yeah. Finally, before we get done away in here and have some proper fun, I want to give a shout out to KT data in our chat room and community. Sure. Not for anything in particular, although he just did something very nice for somebody. in particular, but I don't want to embarrass him. But I just wanted to say he's one of the good ones.

One of the great people in our community has been forever. And it feels like always will be. And is one of the most helpful, like genuine dudes we have. So I just shout out the KT Data. I don't even know if he's in here today. It's okay if he's not. I just felt like telling him he's great. In a community, full of great people, he is one of them.

He says in there, whatever I did, I didn't do it, then goes back to lurking. Back to lurking. It's just a really good guy. All right. We should follow through on the promise to bring Dunoway in. Yeah, yeah. I feel like follow through is, you know, multiple. It was part one in our eventual film sacking of TMS, which continued on Wednesdays.

Yes, it sure does. Now it's permanent for a while anyway. Let's see what he has to say when I push this. Look who it is, everybody. It's your old pal Brian, joining us all the way from beautiful South Carolina here in this state united. Hello, Brian. How are you? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian.

Lovely to see you. It's lovely to see you as well. Wait, you can see me? No, I can only see your cool avatar that you drew yourself. That was close. Yeah. People, I don't know how many people know this. Some of you do.

But Brian's like a really, like, adept cartoonist. Oh, he's amazing. Yeah. And he doesn't do it enough as well. what i'm going to complain about agreed you don't draw enough get in there get it going it was it was the first thing uh that me and scott shared really before we started podcast together i i was i was looking i was looking i was looking around at web cartoonist because i was wanting to do some web cartooning myself and that's how we got connected through sky yeah yeah shortly thereafter Skype was our

our first uh was the sauce we first soaked our buns in and uh look at us now that was a long time ago dude 20 aught 4 It had to be right Because we met Before we did ELR And you've been doing it for like six months Before you brought all the people in I don't remember something like that

I was doing it on my own So yeah I was like 04 Or something like that Which is crazy That's just crazy You're an old timer So am I What are you gonna do with nothing?

I met him when he was just a small young boy Just kidding That's actually I was a big fat guy Well whatever You are you're what I should do You have my heaviest. You weren't fat. You were just kind of like, ah, you're a normal-looking, you know, guy.

Go back and listen to ELR and listen to the fat in my voice. You can hear it. I talk right here. But now he's like Slim Jim McJimmy. So it's great. Yeah. Good job on that. We're going to play a game. Brian to survive. Brian's going to explain this game and tell us who's potentially going to be a winner in this game. Brian? I'll do exactly that. Welcome to the morning squirm. A back and forth trivia game where players will match what's on topics. The Cliff Clavin would have offered up at the cheers bar. Scott and Brian will take turns answering multiple choice trivia questions. And if they get it wrong, the other player gets a point. The player with the most points after five questions wins the prize for their contestants.

And look at this. I've randomly picked people, the contestants, from members of the Tadpool that aren't able to listen live. Basically every day, or not every day, every Monday when I do this, I ask my echo device to pick a number between one and whatever the highest number in the, Google Forum Results sheet is. Ah, nice. Today, she picked number one. So I feel like I need to buy a lottery ticket. What are the odds?

I guess the odds are exactly the same for every number. But anyway, Scott, you're going to be playing for Adam J. from Plymouth, Minnesota. And Brian, you're going to be playing for Chris Hartman from Pittsburgh. Oh, Pittsburgh. I think there's a lot of, there might be more than one Chris Hartman in Pittsburgh, so I'm using his full name. Yeah, a real mid-America effort today. I like this. That's right. Minnesota and Pittsburgh.

Steel Town and the land of a thousand lakes. Yep, you're the backbone of this nation. Keep it up, you guys. 10,000, 10,000 lakes. Isn't 10,000 lakes? Many thousands of lakes. I don't know. Many, many thousands of lakes.

I'm not sure, actually, now that you say it, I think it is land of a thousand lakes, right? 10,000. Oh, is it 10,000? It's 10,000, yeah. Are you sure you're not talking about the butter, land of lakes? No. Well, that's where, I think that's where land of lakes. Oh, is it's where Landolete's butter comes from?

I thought it came from that Native American lady. The one that's sitting on the front. Canoe? Yeah, they took her off. It's Jason Alexander now. Just kidding. I made that up. That's right.

Yeah, it's easily. Vandalay butter. Enjoy my vandalay butter. Van der Leigh. Say Vandlea. And you want to be my butter. And you want to be my butter salesman. Such a good episode.

All right. All right. Anyway. Let's get to the questions here. We're going to start today with Scott. All right. Some weird questions here. Approprily enough, it's not a carrot, Scott, but parents try to protect their kids and keep them safe.

But which common food is responsible for 17% of choking deaths in children every year? That's kind of a morbid start to this set of a question. Holy crap. Well, you know what? It's more of a public service announcement than a trivia question. 17% of choking deaths in children every year caused by A, chicken nuggets, B, hot dogs, C, grapes, or D, goldfish.

And goldfish here are the crackers and not actual. Not like college prank goldfish swallowing or anything like that. You know somebody's died from that. You just know it. So I feel like I got a little advantage on this because I was just being told the other day by my daughter to not give van grapes. And I said, why not?

She says a lot of kids choke on grapes. You have to cut them in half. And so I'm like, oh, I can cut them in half because there's these bigger, they were larger format grapes. You know what, kids, you're not getting grapes. Yeah. So I think it's grapes, I'm going to say. All right.

Is the answer grapes? It's not. They are responsible for some choking deaths and very bad for dogs. Yeah, dogs can't. One of them rolls on the floor. You want to jump on it like a grapies. grenade and not let the dog get it. Exactly. He tackled that like a loose fumble. No. So the remaining, you got a point, Brian. The remaining choices are chicken

nuggets, hot dogs, or goldfish, a registered trademark of the Nevisnizco Corporation. You're right. To Choking death. Yes. Choking death. 17% of choking deaths in every year. I didn't know that. Is that who does that? They do their pepperage farm, aren't they? Because they come in the same Pepperidge Farm kind of container as the Molano. Yeah. You might be right. Milanos. That's a good point. Same bag. It's the same bag. I don't think it's quite the same bag, but it's pretty close to the same bag, right? Which farm

goldfish? Oh, all right. Yes. Do you want to know who their parent company is? Nabisco. Campbell's Soup. Oh, shit. Interesting. Yes. Wow. Everyone owns everything. That should have been the trivia question. You're Milanos and you're come from the same place as your chicken and stars. When they have the mega corporation wars in the future in the year 3,000, I really hope that there's still a conglomerate that would be in the war, in the corporate wars, very sober.

Well, if we've learned anything from Demolition Man, Taco Bell owns everything. Yeah, exactly. All right. So, anyway, so back to the hot dogs, chicken nuggets for goldfish. Right. Back to a much more morbid trivia question. Please let's stop the jocularity and get back to these poor kids choking on something. I would have thought you would have said, dad would have been there, but obviously not.

I'm going to go with the weaners. I think everybody's always. the hot dog weeners wait a minute hold on a second I can't just go right past that I can't either hold on you said you thought they'd be choking on their dads

what yeah yeah no the dads would be choking them oh oh okay choking on dad's hands as they I thought we just ended up in a really weird porn hub subcategory you know you a bunch of perverts you bunch of can't say nothing around you bunch of

I didn't know what you meant and I didn't want to jump to any conclusions I just wanted to suss it out and get to where it was, and now you've done it. Now, see, and now you're saying suck it. Now you're making me dirty. Now, I'm reading into things. No, no, no, you're good. You're good.

Yeah, it's definitely our fault. All right, go ahead. We can't be the only ones who thought that. I'm sure there's the people that chat. I'm like, wait a minute. I'm sure they do. You're saying wieners. You're saying hot dogs.

Yeah, we're. No, I'm regretting to saying weeners. Yeah, I know you are. I'm going to say, awesome there's hot dogs. No, don't put a brand name on it. Oh, no, there goes our sponsorship. Is hot dogs the correct answer? Yes, it is.

Hot dogs responsible for 17% of choking deaths and children every year. Chew your hot dogs, kids. Yeah. Forget that, not the kids. How the crap? Why are you even selling hot dogs? We're killing our future. Get out of here, hot dogs in general.

Yeah, the hot dogs are. Well, what else are we going to do with those weird animal parts that we can't use for anything else? Yeah, that's true. Back to the pigs until we get mad pig disease. Man, they're all mad. They're all pissed. Pissed pig disease. All right.

That was a fun one. That went places. Brian, your question is this one. Maybe a little bit less more, but I don't know. Millions of products were invented for one reason, but ended up being used for something completely different. One of the most disturbing is the sweetener I use in my coffee every single day. Splenda. What was Splenda's original use?

I'll show you. It looks like that is what it looks like if you need a visual aid. I'm still waiting. Yeah, go ahead. Was it used? as A, a pesticide, B, rust remover, C, firework explosives, or D, embalbing fluid mixture. The last two don't sound right. So I'm going to go with, what was the first one again?

Pesticide was the first one. It tastes like pesticide, but I don't think it's that. Who would have put pesticide into it? I'm going to go with, I'm going, yeah, I'm going to pesticide. Pesticide, we just see. It seems like the right answer. All right. Is the answer?

Pesticide. Yes, it is. Yeah, I knew that one. It had to be safe for human consumption. Right. So, yeah. Yeah, it just started out as that, right? Like, it didn't, I mean, it's still, maybe some of the compounds still used there, but like Monsanto figured out, oh, this can be a sweetener too.

Right. And they still say, keep it away from pets. Like, it's not, it's harmful for pets. So keep that. Right. So don't put that in your pets. Coffee. Also, originally, they found that out because they found a family of rats just hanging out, drinking some coffee, and sweetening it with this Monday. That's what happened. That's right. That's right. But as we know, Stevia, much better, unless your name is Lydia.

Moving on to question three. It's a deep cut right there. Scott, which is why nobody left. According to a 2013 study, what percentage of people admitted to purposefully swerving to hit an animal? oh while driving in their car admitted to what percentage of people admitted to uh swerving to hit an animal oh my gosh is that number three percent six percent ten percent or twenty two percent that admit to it that admit to yeah i swerve to to hit that squirrel in the road oh you said when you said animal i was imagining pets you're talking about any animal just as an animal like any animal in the road it makes sense yeah yeah it makes sense you're Yeah. All right. Let's, you know, let's include geese, promos, armadillos. Grandma. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, there's, you know, we've got at least a holiday song about that business. All right. I'll do 10% because why not? I have no idea on this. 10% is 10% correct? Yes, it is. Oh, look at that. Always go 10.

I know a lot of assholes because I would have said that would have been a lot higher. Oh, I bet it's higher. This is just the admiters. The ones who admit, which is crazy. More than admit, they usually brag. I always coming to work today. Yeah. I can't imagine.

Mostly pick up truck drivers, I'm guessing. I've never aimed for anything. Calvin King stickers on their back windows. You know how you get rid of that tendency or that temptation is when you're driving? I like to say, like I'll see some jogger and I'll go to the kids. Like, are they 30 or 40 points? I forget. Yeah.

You know, just think about it. As a kid. Right. Like, you know, when you just start driving, you're with your friends, you, oh, how many points for the jogger? Yeah, and then you, and then it's over. It's through your system. You don't actually want to run over anybody, okay?

Exactly. You get all that, all that out of your system with, uh, whatever movie that was, with the guy who, uh, uh, you can do it. It was, uh, Highlander. Highlander. Wait, really? Highlander? Yeah, Highlander.

Curgan goes on the road and, oh, right, forgot. Runs over people. Yep. And you see really quick flashes of the people he's hitting as they go over the hood. That's right. I forgot he was doing that. Well, he was a real dick. I would have thought you was talking about death race. Yeah, that curran was a dick.

Oh, death race? Okay, yeah, death race also. I guess it's right there in the title. Postal. There's a few. All right. Scores two to one. Brian, this question goes back to you.

Cockroaches? They're pretty damn amazing. Which of these facts about cockroaches is true? A, they can lift 100 times their body weight. B, they can live nine days without their heads. C, they can live nine days without their heads. C, they can hold their breath for over an hour or d the fastest cockroach was clocked at seven

miles an hour ironically one of those of them holding their breath for uh nine days as well but just they don't have a head to breathe with right exactly two of them right two of them after the holding their breath yeah just one other way of looking at it but right we'll see how you do one of them scares the hell out of me that that d seven miles per hour brooch scares the crap out of me there yeah this is this is what fact is true or not true? Which of these is true? So only one of these facts is true. God, they all feel true. Um, we might end with a tie here because I, I know they can live, I know I've heard they can live so long without their head. And I'm just, I'm not sure if that's a, you know,

like a urban legend or something. I'm going to go with that one though. They can, they can live how many, a certain amount of time without any head. Nine days. Which is gross. Just like this is the Story of a girl. Yeah. Wasn't that the band nine days? Wasn't that nine days? That's it. Story of a girl.

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world. She looks so fine and photographs. Absolutely love her. Love her. When she smiles. So did they get their name from this? We'll find out. Can cockroaches live nine days without their heads?

Yes, they can. Well done. Well, I was going to pick that one too. Nice job. That's a very good. Who's win? Who's ahead here? Well, now, Brian, is winning, three to one.

So all you can do with this last question is save face and make it three to two. Congratulations, too. Well, we'll get to that. Last question, oh, you love your dog, Scott. I do. Yeah, all of them. And they give you love and affection, companionship. They follow you around and look at you with adoring eyes.

However, they're also likely to give you an infection that leads to what? Is it? A. The flu. B, the common cold. C. Chronic diarrhea or D. Chlamydia? This answer I know because I have a friend who just finished about of, there's a word for it, but it's chronic diarrhea. They lick you in the face and you get a certain kind of thing and you've got to go in for this or else you're going to die. Giardia or something like that. Yeah, something like that. It's absolutely correct. Yes. Chronic diarrhea. Diarrere. Coming at your diarrhea. we said it at the same time oh that's funny yeah it's uh it's bad like um who was it i don't know if it's anyone on the show would know but i had i had a friend some years ago who could not

figure out what's going on multiple doctors the tests were not showing the right results or something and so eventually they were just like we think it's this we're going to treat you for that and boom it took care of it and it was totally from their dog their dog ate a poo or something then licked him in the face, and that's all she wrote. See, see that... What? If I had diarrhea all the time, I would definitely cut dog

licking my face out of my routine. I would, too. Yeah, get it out. Yeah, I agree. Diarrere. You don't want diarrhea. My Hungarian grandmother, one of my favorite stories, I think it was actually, this was on my 21st birthday, right? She was taking me out to dinner, and Tina

was over. We were just dating at that point, and she came over to my apartment and she sees the cat walking around. I said, oh, watch this. And I take out, I went to the bank earlier that day and I got a butterscotch dum-dum. You know, they have the lollipops there at the bank tellers. Back when we used to go to banks before we did it all on our phones. And they had a little thing of dumb-dums and I always grabbed a butterscotch one.

Yes, the best. And you hold it up to, and Juliet, my cat at the time, loved butterscotch dumdums. But I had to lick it to get the smell started. It didn't smell, it didn't, go ahead, Jamie. There's a free one for you. But in order for the cat to smell the butterscotch flavor that it wanted to lick. You had to activate it. I had to activate it, exactly.

And so I show my grandmother, and she's like, oh, that's so cute. But Brian, I hope you don't put that in your mouth after she's been licking it because she licks her butt. And then she goes around the neighborhood and licks all the other cat's butts. and then she licks that lollipop so I hope you don't put that in your mouth afterwards and because she said that the very next thing I did is stuck that thing in my mouth and you would have thought

you would have thought I poked her foot with a with a needle the way she yelped and jumped oh no Brian what I did he should need neckie is on yad fully nicky yeah you spend the rest of your night with chronic

diarrhea diarrhea so Hungarian Hungarian swear words wow that's fantastic I love that that story. I wish I had a Hungarian grandma, but neither of mine were that. Yeah. Well, well done,

everybody. We've got a pair of winners. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Because that's how it was worse. Congratulations to Chris Hartman in Pittsburgh. You're going to be walking home with, well, you're not really going to be walking anywhere. I'm going to email these to you. Override, Mech City Brawl,

and Evergarden. Those two games coming to you. But Adam J. and Plymouth, Minnesota, you're not going away empty-handed. You're getting Shenmu 1 and 2. Well, once again. So it's almost like you're getting two games. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I loved Shimu back in the day. That thing was groundbreaking. Almost all the 3D open world games we play these days have some thanks to give to Shemu. Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Like a groundbreaking shit. And remember, the first three rows are a splash zone when you play Shemu. There you go. It's a very odd game series. But it's just, it deserves some credit for breaking some new rules. And it's cool. Interesting. Yeah. I've never, um, I've never played Shenmoo.

So maybe I'll keep this and give him something else. There you go. Uh, well, all right then. Well done, everybody. Hey, Dunnoy, you help somebody win something. And that's really what matters in our lives. Yeah, it feels good on a Monday. Yeah.

It does feel good on a Monday. Today, what else will feel good? Well, I know, maybe you and I get together later talking about indie games. The indie games business is our business over there at the Boop Show. So if you want to listen live, we are at 5 p.m. Mountain Time right here at FrogPants. dot TV or you can check the podcast out later

but very excited I'm going to be talking about unpacking today oh you did get unpacking good it was on the Xbox game pass right so you got a chance to play it I almost bought it on Steam because I just like

well I made as well but then I saw oh it's on Game Pass I'm not I'm not buying it day one release yeah trippy thing can't wait to talk about it I don't know what you're playing what did you decide on I ended up taking what the internet suggested

I let them take a poll on what to play, and they chose Despot's game. It's a dystopian army builder, and it was a lot of fun. It has, like, little puny humans you can control in these little automatic battles. They remind me of, like, the little muscle men. Remember those little pink muscle men? Oh, yeah. And you, the little, yeah, they were, like, muscle, the little plastic muscle fighters. Yeah, from, like, the 80s.

It was like the green army men, but. And it was, like, their names were an acronym that. spelled out muscle, but I don't ever think there were any words associated with that m.u.u.s. No. I remember those. I don't remember ever owning any, but I remember them existing. I had a whole bucket. Yeah, you did. Of course you did. Give kids something to collect. Yeah, so check that out, and that'll be today, and it'll be great. I promise. So tune in or catch the podcast, however you do it. Brian Dunaway, the Brian Dunaway on Twitter. Have a great day. No you. No you.

hey Brian we've done that and we've done that we have a little time exactly that I don't watch the news a little bit of news time brought to you by brought to you by more animal crossing because now you can farm and cook and shit yep oh it's probably just farm and cooking shit yeah farm and cooking shit not I didn't know what this new dLC gave you the ability to do but it'd be great if uh so I I haven't I didn't pull the trigger on the 24 dollar DLC at my daughter is trying to convince me my old oldest she's like it's so good dad you got to do it yeah and but the 2.0 update alone is really good yeah I can farm now I can cook stuff uh one of the first things you do is get a big old kitchen fire thing and and now I can catch a fish and my guy goes oh I just thought of a recipe that's like carp and whatever and so I go I can go make that now with like a little mushroom I found a little carp I found and now I got food and I can either eat it or sell it or give it away to one of my friends but you know it's an animal crossing and I'm back in kind of it's

kind of bad it's kind of bad that I'm yeah is it is it uh do you now have more tasks to do kind of an everyday thing like all right well I need to go catch four fish and I need to go swim so now they've got some that are like cook three things today or you know can I can I just have some of my why can't I ever put my people to work and say look you go out and deal with that damn seal until you finally get a pearl oh there's It is, well, you'd like this. There's this new ordinance system where you tell, what's her name, Billy Jane there, what's her name in the office? Butter puppy in the chappin.

That's this great name, Butterpuppie. Butter puppy. You talk to Butterpuppie. She's sitting there with her scotch on ice or whatever. She's got there. And she'll tell you, here are the options. And basically, you play 20 grand in Bells for it's cheap. and the the it's either i want it early bird policy which means all the shops and things that

are normally not open till 10 or whatever or nine those will open early oh like if you're a morning player yeah exactly and if you ever want to change you got to pay another 20 grand because you know tom nook needs to get his but but but then there's the option for for for uh what do you call it burning the midnight oil or something anyway it lets you do the opposite which which is they all stay open later, which is what I do, because if I'm playing it at night. Yeah,

so I don't play in the day. So there's that. So those are two of the policies. One of the third one, which is to get back to your point, is you basically enact a policy where weeds and shit get taken care of by somebody else.

Oh, good. Okay. So you can do these things, but they take a day to enact. So just remember that? Because you know how that game is. It likes to. Do I still get the,

what was the byproduct you got from the weeds? Like it was something you could use for crafting Oh, yeah, you still get all that. Although I don't know if you have somebody clean up that stuff. I don't know if you still get it. Maybe you don't. Maybe you do. With all this new stuff to farm and stuff like that, is there, can I build, upgrade my house more?

There's a 500,000 bell cost to a inventory expansion, but the house itself will stay the same. However, the DLC's got like all this, like, you could. Oh, the sheds and stuff. Yeah, and you can divide rooms and, what do you call that? Not dividers or whatever they are. The partitions. Partition. There you go.

You can make partitions. They got really weird items out there. And, you know, there's stuff you got to do. Oh, there's a co-op now where there's going to be like a whole like, like farm. What do you call that? You go on the weekends. A zamboni? No, where everybody goes and there's a bunch of booths and there's food and guy brought all his fresh apples that he just.

Margo Kidder. Yeah, it's called a Margo Kidder. Uh-huh. Yeah. you guys going to the Kidder this weekend. I get to do this to you. That's such a weird one, though. It's so good.

Cherry Twizzlers? Ah, shit. Whatever it's called. Farmer's Market. Holy shit, I couldn't think of it. Okay, gotcha. All right. So there's that.

Harves Island is now a place you can go all upgrade and crazy and do all kinds of stuff. Anyway, it's a cool game. I can't believe I'm playing it again. Here's your only story you're getting today. All right. It goes of all that. Yeah, after all that. A man was eaten by piranhas after jumping into a lake to escape bees.

Wow, it was like a horror movie double feature is basically what he just experienced. Yeah, like a film sack twofer here. Man reportedly died in Brazil after jumping into a lake to escape some bees only to drown and be eaten by piranhas. 30-year-old was fishing with friends when he jumped into the farm lake in the municipality of Brasilandia de Minas on Sunday, according to. According to a local fire department, a firefighter who performed the rescue said the carnivorous fish had distinguished or disfigured the man's face and other parts of his body. His body was found four meters from the shore. It's not yet known if the attack came before or after the man's death. So he may have fallen in, drown, and then been eaten.

They don't know. Jeez. Yeah, it's a story like this, it's really hard to figure out the order of events, but it was all bad. Yeah. Also, I don't know why. Okay, if you jumped away from the bees, maybe he was allergic, got stung a couple of times, and that's what made him stop breathing him.

Maybe that's why he drowned. Could be, right. Yeah, like he asphyxiated before he drowned. It's such a nice story, isn't it? It is, exactly. I'll make sure this will come up in a future morning squirm trivia question. What this comes down to, if you ask me, is bees or dicks. That's what this comes down to.

It's the bees. What does it? Yeah, the bees always is what does it. I'll do this last one here Okay, good, because there's more It's also a follow-up We talked about this guy before So there was a Catholic bishop

I don't know if you remember this But he was a Catholic bishop Who famously fell in love With a satanic erotica writer Okay Okay, sure Leave the flock or whatever you do When you're a priest

What's that called? Defrocked, whatever it is Yeah And he ran off with her And now we have a follow-up that Catholic bishop, same guy, fell in love with the writer of the satanic erotica, now reportedly working to artificially inseminate pigs. Oh.

Yeah. Makes sense, right? But he really just needs to pick a hobby and stick with it. Yeah, it's the stick with it part that people struggle with, you know? Exactly. Like, he's picked very, very, you know, different and unique hobbies, but, well, what's it going to be? Is it going to be satanic erotica or is it going to be artificially inseminating pigs? Yeah, pick your lane and then drive it.

Javier Novell is his name. Air to the Novell fortune. Group wear and all that. 52 years old sparked fears among many members of the clergy. They believed he had been possessed by a devil when the news of that relationship broke earlier this year. We reported it right here on your most important news source, The Morning Stream.

Novell fell in love with Sylvia Cabo, a psychologist and writer of erotic novels, who penned the novel The Hell of Gabriel's Lust and the erotic trilogy amnesia. I hear that's got a picture of Fabio on the cover. Yeah.

No, it doesn't. I mean, I wish it did. This would all be better if it was true. Let's see. He fell in love with her, gave up on his vow of celibacy and turned his back to the church to pursue her life with a 38-year-old author.

Church colleagues told Spanish media, I believe no one have been possessed by demons with one saying this was quote not a problem of celibacy but one of infestation way to way to defer the man's um uh you know what do you call that his responsibility maybe he is just a douche that wanted to go have sex with his sex author why does it have to be a demon hold that guy accountable exactly oh take responsibility for your desires yeah for your desires to date an erotic Satan worshiping and fiction writer. No, Jeannie, this is a real story. New Zealand Herald. Yep, it's real. And it's a real. We think reputable source.

And the original one was we covered this months ago. And we had the same question. Someone said, is this a joke? Nope. We confirmed it. Anyway, let's see. Same sources claim that Pope Francis himself urged Novell to undergo an exorcism to free his troubled spirit. But then the bishop said, I didn't want to. He just went and got with her. Well, anyway, now he's in the business of artificially insiminating pigs. Not with his own. man seed other pigs right that's a business you you're breeding pigs is what you're doing right right yes no he's

he's he's just a delivery mechanism not the supplier yeah he doesn't supply he doesn't supply the important ingredient he he he brings it hey how about that how about that idiot in the middle scott

you know what now's a good time as any we're going to do an india in the middle when we come back Stephen Schlecker will be here because Mondays are his. We'll do that in a second. But before that, Brian, why don't you tell me more about this indie in the middle you spoke of? Yeah, we're going to Joshua Tree for a duo called Wizard Tree, appropriately enough. These guys record and live in the Rocky and Dusty Desert of Joshua Tree, California.

This is cool. So it's kind of a rock and pop deal. But what's amazing about these guys is the invention of something that sounds like, some Gandalf porn, but they've got something called The Wizard Stick. Now, what this is, it's a modified bass guitar that sends multiple signals to multiple amplifiers, so it gives this

weird, rich bass guitar sound. It's really cool. You want to hear it? Let's hear it. Yeah. Here's a song that showcases that very same thing. The song is called The Lake. It's the brand new single from Wizard Tree. Moon rise over the mountain

A golden stairway on the lake A silver fish in the black mud shining like spirit hiding from the grave Through the trees I went wandering Mistified and lost my way Down to the edge of the water Into the wire I see Reflected at me

I see my face Deep in the lake Tranquility Tangled in reese Caught in the wake Deep in the light Cracking cold break the silence Splitting ice of ebony

A black mirror freezing stars Trapping Jupiter on Mars Into the void of mud and madness Riding the ripple of a leaf The winter, solar spring sadness In the seasons beneath it I see reflected at me I see your face deep in the light yeah

Tumbling upside down trees Caught in the way Deep in the light Yeah, I see. Yeah, I see, reflected at me, reflected at me, I see my face, deep in the light now, tumbling, tangled in breeze, caught in the way, deep in the light. What the hell? No wonder. Wrong tree. Hold on a sec.

What's the window situation? this is the morning stream this house it knows we're here complete accident that that i know it's great uh synchronicity there no wonder wrong tree yeah that wasn't intentional that's crazy the wizard tree is what that is anyway tell me again that song will you please yeah absolutely it's uh the band is called wizard tree the song is called the lake and uh features that cool bass guitar mix sound thing there that is uh sends multiple signals out to multiple amplifiers the the wizard stick the wizard stick there it is there it is i like that you described it then told me the name i like you shall not pluck you know shall not pluck they have a ballrog in

there all right hey what do we have here let me find out stephen schliker stephen schliker hey hayes kansas doesn't even know what it is without the one the only stephen shlecker like her major spoiler zone. Stephen, welcome back to the show. Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian. Do I sound like craft? No, he sounds great. He sounds just fine. Okay. It sounds real good. You sound like you're coming from inside the house.

Yeah, I guess as you're coming from inside the school, right? Is that what's going on? Oh. Maybe it isn't good. Maybe he's, oh, are you there? You're muted. Oh. Sound great. There you good. You sounded good for a second. Then you disappeared. Then you were the opposite of something.

The audio back out to you somehow is getting Are you there now? Yes, I am. Oh, okay. Yeah, I can hear you now. We can hear you just fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool.

You sound great. It's good to have you back. I think we missed you last week. You had something going on, right? No, we had me. I was in, I was in Vermont. We had me going on last week.

That's right, right. Were the leaves pretty? They were gorgeous, yeah. Did some leaf peeping. Did some maple eaten. Some cheddar, some good old Vermont cheddar. I ate some of that out there. I mean, it was a, and did some bourbon drinking.

Ooh, very nice. Did you keep any of those leaves? them in a book, you know? No, like press them, that sort of thing. No. Scott, we firmly believe in the, uh, take only your memories. We've only your footprints, take only your memories. That's right. Hey, that's a good way to live.

Uh, well, Stephen, have you spent much time out in that part of the world, the country? No, I haven't. I mean, I've been up there when I was younger, but I, I would love to go back, but, you know, I'm busy with other things. Well, as they would say in Vermont, I wouldn't go out there if I were you. All right. Well, it's good to have you here. Hey, I got a quick review, a very fast review of a new comic from Tom Taylor, who I cannot get enough of.

He's my new writer-dejure in comics, both Marvel and D.C. is all over the place these days. And he put out a new D.C. series, there's only one issue out. I'm just, I'm pining for the next issue called Dark Knights of, oh, shit. What is it? White satin. Oh, Dark Knights of Steel. Thank you. Dark Knights of Steel.

it's an alternate history thing this isn't a huge spoiler or anything but it starts with the typical oh here's Superman here's Jorrell and Superman's mom real mom birth mom putting him in a rocket and sending him off so

because Krypton's about to blow up right we've seen that a thousand million times but the way this one works is when the rocket arrives and lands the hatch opens and out comes Jorel and the mom and she's still pregnant by like nine months almost

full term with whatever baby they would have put in there. So the alternate history is like, well, what if they left right before she had the baby? And they all went together. And then things go a little weird because they land in like an ancient sort of

medieval but also magical time. So there's magic and stuff. And the big bad and the land is someone they all call the green man, but it's basically green lantern. Banshees in it, but in a really different kind of way. Batman Bruce Wayne is like

the head of the guard at this kingdom that Jorrell's now in charge of. And it's all very medieval and lots of knights in armor and stuff like that. So it's one of those kind of things like Marvel's X-Men 1680-08 or whatever was called. 16-02. Whatever the year was.

It's like that. They're kind of aiming for that. And man... There was an world's book. Yeah. From years ago that had like... I wanted to say it's like Superman Camelot something or other. Oh, sounds similar, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That might be in the app, actually. Except that didn't have Joriel or Laurel or anything like that in it. Yeah. Well, this was, this is, this, I was skeptical, but I saw Tom Taylor and went, oh, I really like his writing, I'll bet this is good, and it is great. It is really good. Cannot wait for issue two. I think I only paid like a buck 30 for the issue on Kindle or something.

Yeah. And it's not, of course, not, this will all end up on the, on the infinite app in three months, but I couldn't wait. So anyway, it's very good. There's my fast review. If you wanted another one from a different, Tom, you should check out Tom King's Human Target. Now, I recommended his Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow series a while ago

because it's very much true grit in space and was Supergirl. King has a new one that just came out last week called Human Target. And it's about a guy who, you know, disguises himself and becomes a target. You know, if someone's trying to kill you, he will pretend to be you and catch whoever your killer is. This one is really good because it's like the movie DOA meets superheroes. Oh, interesting. Well, I really like Tom King as well. Some of my favorite comics of the last year were stuff I picked up from him. I don't know what it's going on with all the Tom's and comics are just wrecking everything. It's Tom Renaissance is what's going on. It feels like it. Yeah. It's really

good. But yeah, I'll check that out. Human Target. I see it here. This brand newish. Well, let's see. When did this come out? Yeah, just last Okay, November, yeah. I'll definitely check it out. That looks great. Yeah. So J.C. Calhoun found the Elseworld series. It's called Superman Cal, K-A-L, where baby Cal L. Lans in medieval England, where he grows up to become a blacksmith and forges the sword ex-caliber. Oh, wow. See, it's very similar. The difference here is they've gone full, like, fantasy realm with this. And the idea that Bruce Wayne is like, his parents were still killed. They were part of the court. of this thing. So there's all these parallels and he's got these robins and it's pretty much all the robin types from all the history

of robins, but they're all just like his little, what was it in Game of Thrones? My little spiders are getting all the information for the eunuch guy. It's like that. They're all these just like little ninja robins everywhere getting shit done for Bruce. It's great. And Bruce Wayne may have some power he's not supposed to have and

it's pretty crazy. Anyway check it out. Stephen forget about all that though. Before we go we go, oh actually we got one more tiny little kind of review. Brian, tell us what you thought, because you're the only one of the three of us that saw. What did you think of the Eternals there? Yeah, so my thinking on is the first act, so it's a three-act kind of thing.

First act is very messy. It's disjointed. It jumps around in time, but also it's trying to introduce 10 characters to us all at once, all while going through time and showing us where the Eternals have been for the last seven millennia. So it's, you know, it's world-building, but it's, done in a, I don't know, could have been done in a more streamlined way or more, a better way. Middle act, you start caring, start learning more about the characters and really caring about

a few of them. And by the end, it was, you know, it's a good, it's a good movie. It's not great. It's very, I can see the Chloe Zau nomad land kind of introspection and solitude as a character that you know kind of like Francis McDormann had in Nomadland where her her solitude became part of the character she was Tina felt like some parts were a little slow I could definitely see that but come on it's the first Marvel movie with a sex scene

so get on it for that but in my so let's see and I did I did make a list in my list of Marvel movies, the 26 released Marvel movies, I put Eternals at number 19, just below Shang-Chi, and just above the Incredible Hulk from 2008. Oh, man, Shang-Chi, you rate in Chang-She, lower than everyone I've ever talked to.

They all love that. Oh, I liked it, but I liked things like Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Civil War, Endgame, Infinity War, Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2, Ragnarok, more than Shang-Chi. it was hard for me to put shing chi that low but uh it's it's you know all of them i would still consider that to be a an above average where you got where you got the iron man two in your list where's that out iron man two is um oh iron man two i like because of sam rockwell it's iron man

three that i've got low iron man three is down at number 22 uh just above captain marvel and thor the dark world really hard for me to watch in age age of old iron man two is very hard watch for me. I don't know. I kind of like Mickey Rourke. I like Sam Rockwell. Yeah, but is it a good movie? Sam Rockwell's awesome. I mean, I love those actors, but is it a good movie? I feel like so much

of Iron Man 3 is a slog where he's just kind of slumming around in that city with the kid. Yeah, there is a lot of that. I like three better than two. How come you didn't know what's got? Well, A, theaters can bite my wiener. Yeah, there you go. What was the other? Oh, because I ended up watching Finch and the harder they fall this weekend.

And I loved them both for very different reasons. Finch is just a great family fun time. People should watch it. It's a good time. Yeah, I really wish Disney would have dropped the Turtles. I'm more than happy to pay 30 bucks for a movie ticket. Yeah, I'd have been arrived with that. If I can watch it.

Yeah, did you get the, you see the news? It was Spider-Man. Um, uh, uh, far from home, far from home will be out, uh, December 7th, uh, December 7th, uh, theaters only. So there's that. And then the new poster, yeah, and the new poster shows something with, uh, green goblin from. Yeah, you get. Oh, yeah, then a poster came out that has a Spider-Man, of course. And then in the foreground, you have Doc Ox Claws. And then if you start looking in the background, you see Sandman's, uh, uh, sand whipping around. You get to see, see some lightning background you see the shocker's lightning so yeah that's right a shocker it's not electro right oh yeah a lot electric that's what it is it is electro okay i was too confused because you know

you think the shocker and you're thinking you know hey he should be sending out the electricity yeah i think the shocker's an unfortunate name yeah some other slang here so let's be careful yeah be careful with the shocker uh well all right so now we've we've come full circle uh let's get to let's get other movies that are doing things. No man, or no man, no time to die arriving on VOD on Tuesday. That's awful quick. I didn't expect that so soon. Which is surprising because

the movie has done fairly well in the box office, but probably not, I mean, it's done 600 million worldwide, but probably is not as much as they thought. Now, I don't know, you know, this is, this movie is not released through Universal. Universal has an agreement with the

theater owners that if they don't get a $50 million opening weekend, that they can release that movie to VOD as early as 15 days after release. Note that I hit $55 million on opening a weekend, but for whatever reason, they're still deciding to get this out onto Video on Demand Rental MGM tomorrow. So if you didn't get to see it into the theater, and you've got a big screen TV, or you don't have a big screen TV. Maybe you want to offend the filmmakers and watch it on your tiny iPhone.

You can do it in 1999 starting tomorrow. Okay. So no rentals, all just purchase. right now, right? It's just rental, yeah. You're not going to be able to purchase. Oh, so it's nine, but 20 bucks to rent. Hey, I'm, like I said, I just said, I will pay $30 to watch Eternals on Disney Plus on top of the

service, it's top of the service. 20 bucks? That's a bargain for me. Yeah, it is. You can fill a whole house full of people and watch No Time to Die for the cost of one and a half movie tickets. Yeah. They're vaccinated and they shut up when the movie starts and stop yak and get off their cell phone. So yeah. Yeah. No, I think my team and I are going to have a, A lot of fun watching that this weekend. Yeah, for sure.

I didn't know about this. I'm actually, I think that's what we're going to do, too. That seems like a great idea. And then, yes. And then at the end of the week, we get Shang Chi, which is out on the 12th on Disney Plus. So the thing is with that,

that one went a little longer than the 45-day window. That's because I think Disney Plus is doing some big event this week to celebrate either an anniversary or something. But that was the reason why they moved the Shang-chi down to November 12th. I don't think we're going to see Eternals just suddenly appear on Disney Plus this weekend. No. But you never know. You never know.

I mean, 77 million, I think was 71 million domestic opening. I think they're well over 100 million worldwide. So they've got some life in this movie still. If people want a very different experience reading The Eternals than what they saw in the movie. And again, I'm just saying this based on all the trailers that I have seen, go pick up Jack Kirby's original. 12 issue from the Eternals And it is like the trippiest trip You will ever have

You can tell Jack Kirby just finished reading Charias of the Gods from Von Doniken And it was like, I got to turn this into a comic book Yeah What's that thing that Tycho Wattiti There was news about him Gonna adapt to the film InCal

Which is a Chordowalski Joint They never mentioned They never mentioned Mobius in the damn headlines ever No one ever says Mobius I'm like, are you kidding?

That book and almost everything Mobius ever did art before, if you don't mention that, you're missing half the point. You know? Yeah. It drives me nuts. But anyway, that seems cool. That'll be all right, right? That'll be pretty cool when it comes. Yeah.

Yeah. And he did a whole thing. He's very excited about doing this. So that'll come out in a couple of years, this week, yes. Well, that will be interesting. Pink Panther, Pink Panther, Black Panther, Waukanda, forever. We're bringing back Pink Panther, everybody. they shut down production.

Why? What happened? So several months ago, Latisha Wright, or I don't know how to say her first name, but I believe it's right, Latisha. Yeah. Yeah. She suffered an injury on set,

and the word is that they were shooting all around her scenes so that she could recover from her injury. Well, it turns out that she's still not fully recovered, so they're going to have to shut down production until after the new year, and they're going to come back in 2020. They said that shutting down for about a month and a half is not going to affect the release date of the movie. But, yeah, if she doesn't come back, that's going to be a little difficult.

Also, it should be pointed out that Letitia Wright was also one of the people that was a very vocal, not getting vaccinated. And so she can't be on set unless she's been. Oh, I didn't know that. Wow. They're holding the line. What was her reasoning? She just didn't want to do it? No, I don't know.

If the minute I don't think I should get vaccinated, that's when I'm just like, I don't think you should be part of society. There you go. Hey, you guys wanted a strong opinion out of Stephen today. You got one. I mean, you can either be part of society or you don't want to be part of society. Exactly. They want to be part of their own society.

Let me tell you. You know, I was thinking about his, Aaron McGrath. Oh, his phaser. Yeah, mine. Yeah, it's one of my favorite, favorite things I ever got from anybody. And I don't know if I've ever shown this on the show.

I'll probably have. But, yeah, Brian's got one, too. You've got the more modern phase. I think the next generation colors, but still the original. Oh, is it okay? Well, no, maybe, yeah, I don't know. I feel like this is a slightly different.

I love it. It's very cool. Yeah. Yeah, no, this hangs on my wall above my shield, and I accidentally knocked this off my wall, taking the shield off to show it to the kid across the street this weekend. Oh, nice. Oh, he must think you're a lord nerd over there with all your cool stuff. I am like, he's like, oh, I want to see my Iron Man outfit that I wore for Halloween.

I said, yeah, and I'll, and I'll show you my Captain America Shield. And he, like, came over, like, oh, this is so cool. And I let him hold it and run around with it for a while. That's great. That's enough of that. It's not really vibranium. Come back here. He didn't try to Chris Evans at across the room or anything, did he?

Like, throw it like a frisbee. There we go. That's good. Oh, that's magnetic piece. I'll find that. um his dad said have you have you tried swinging it and throw it and see if you can lodge it in the tree i'm like no i have not tried that yet oh if you ever did film it everything's everything's content yeah get that done for us no i'm not going to do that because of uh i don't want that thing

to i don't want it to get dented i want it to look nice and and pristine yeah understandable all right we're going to play uh we're going to play this uh mashup it's a monday morning mashup it's been a bit since last week, Jamie had some stuff, so he wasn't able to crank one of these out. But he's back on it. And by the title of this, it's probably pretty good. It's called Shaky Cam 99. No idea what that's a reference to, but we'll find out together. I know, but yeah.

Oh, you do? All right. Well, here we go. Extremely prejudicial muting. Nice. I missed it. Oh, you did? Prejudicial instead of prejudicial.

This is not my poo. It's not my poo. Do you do it in the bum or in the leg, the thigh? It's the legy bum area. The leggy bum area. That's where I get my team. Leggy bum was my favorite 1920 stand-up comedian. The old legy bum.

Boy, he couldn't do that act today, though. Fiff, it's like too wide an opening, and, you know, part of your butt cheeks are kind of getting pushed down in there and cutting off the circulation. My head ain't fitting in your weird little hole. Forget it. Exactly. I assume the goal is you take some of the old Pedro and apply him to the new Virginia, right? There's nothing to act more than putting a... corn cob up my butthole. Any, uh, phantom boner feelings?

Flea, flea, flea, flea, flea, free, free flash drive with purchase of a kiss coffin. Do you get the boobers naturally, or do you got to add on the boobers? There is tons of bare buttocks shown in this film from both woman and men. 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. Uh, I think I found a poo behind the fence woman. The Transformer. Suck it, Johnson. Oh, I'm sucking it. I'm sucking it right now, baby. Like dark brown shriveled up. Yeah, yeah.

Limp, dark brown shriveled up. It's like those chips. That won't end up in a mash-up. And we're already tickling that edge with five guys. Did you just say tickling that edge with five guys? Is that what you're just pointing out that would be a great something to capture. Yeah, I'm sure Jamie needs all the help in the world to find this stuff. So good job.

Someone left the scorpion out in the rain, and it's on the shirt I purchased, and that shirt's not coming in my house. Wow. We got a whole song. And I'll never buy from that internet company again. See? See, there's more. Oh, no. Shaky Cam 99.

That must have been Blair Witch, right? That's exactly right. So what you're doing is you're trying to name the movie villain. Oh, that's even harder, though, because Shaky Cam, who was the villain in that? The Blair Witch. Duh. Wasn't there a project movie about a Blair Witch something? Oh, that's so stupid.

So stupid, but so great. Who's the villain in the Blair Witch Project? I don't know. I don't know who that was. But I know Jamie makes great stuff. Big thanks to Jamie. TMS mashups on Twitter. He's the man and did a great job as always.

Nope. I found it. I think poo-poo is cool. Oh, that was different. Let's try this one.

I think science. I'll make you go poo-poo. Oh, it has a fart at the end either way. Okay, cool. Well, we get farts either way. All right, this is done by Chase Holfelder and Tom Evans. You know, take it or leave it. I like Chase's stuff, but I do find that it's, you know,

You know exactly what you're going to get with a Chase Holfelder cover. It's, you know, softly delivered, very emotional, singing and kind of low, vocal, sparse, instrumentation, et cetera. Works perfectly for this. He just put an album out called Silver Screen Sessions Volume 1. It's more an EP with five songs on it. Here are Chase, Holfelder, and Tom Evans, with their cover of Gloria Jones, not soft sales, tainted love. Sometimes I feel I've got to run away. I've got to get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me.

The love we share seems to go nowhere. And I've lost my light For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night Once I ran to you Now I run from you The stainted love you've given I've given all the boy can give

You take my tears and that's not nearly Oh Tainted love Oh Don't touch me please No I've got to run away I've got to get away

You don't really want any more from me To make things right You need someone to hold you tight And you think love is to pray But I'm sorry I don't pray that way Once I ran to you Now I run from you This tainted love you've given

I've given all a boy can cure You take my tears and that's not nearly Change in love Change in love Don't touch me please Change in love Change in love Don't touch me, please.

Take to love. more shows like this at frogpants.com.
