Save it for the French. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is Monday. November 22nd, 2021. I'm Scott. He's Brian. Hi, Brian. Good morning, Scott. Hey, it feels like it's been almost a week since we last did a show. Pretty close. Yeah, if you don't count film sack, it's six days instead of the seven because we did a show on Tuesday, but nothing since Wednesday. It feels like we didn't do on Tuesday, but we did. I just, in my head, in my head, this all happened on Tuesday, but you're right.

Wednesday was the day that got hosed. and we had such a great Tuesday. I came into Tuesday. Blazing hot, dude. I was so in a good mood. We had amazing show. We laughed. We had fun.

We had amazing guests. Everything went great. And that next day I was like, I'm going to have another one of those days. And then I got up and got in the shower, you know? And I got ready. And I was like, yeah, look at me. All clean and ready for a thing.

You know, this is great. Uh-huh. And then I got dressed. I got some pants on, you know? And it's a shirt. and stuff like that like you do, you know, and I'm like, ah, socks are next. I'm putting those socks on. So I put those on.

Do you put them on one leg at a time, like everyone else? The pants, I do, yes. Pants, I, well, sometimes if you're on the bed, you can do the whole two at a, two at a time and pop, you know. Wow, okay. Yeah. And then, and then it makes you wonder why we still call them pants in the plural. Let's just call them pant. Sure.

All right, put on your pant. Put on pant. Put on pant. Yeah, put on pant. So anyway, I put on pants. You don't put on your shirts. Yeah, shirts and pant. then I did a belt or belts

let's switch it all around so all the singular and all the plurals are plural and all the plurals are singular I like it yes belts I put on your belts I puts on my belts and I'm thinking well what else is there well I need to take the dog out real quick so I'm going to grab some some shoes

and this is where things go bad oh no I go in the room I reach down very normally kind of a normal bend over you know nothing too crazy sure don't bend over and windover though trouble will happen when you're there. Anyway, I bend over to grab these shoes, and I feel this familiar, and by familiar,

I mean, about every two years, I feel this familiar, what's the word? I don't know how to describe it. It's like, you know, oh, okay, Brian, got one for you. Okay, all right. You got a big chicken or turkey dinner of some sort. Uh-huh. Chicken or turkey. Could be one, but definitely a poultry.

Definitely a poultry dish. Okay. And there's a point where a bone, let's say, it wouldn't be a leg bone. Would it be the wing? Anyway, where there's a joint. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

Like the cartilage, right? Yes. Now, you know when you go to bend those and kind of pull them apart and there's a point where the cartilage finally says, okay, fine. And just let's go. God. Yeah. That's the feeling that it had. That's the sensation.

And it's not even pain right away. It's a feeling of stuff has been pulled to a place where it shouldn't. be and then your brain goes oh no the pain sensors are on their way be ready you know i'm like osmosis jones here i got like captain kirk up in the brain going all right we're going to do this shit and all the sudden the pain wave hits and i'm immobile i can't move i'm bent in that position and i can't do anything like some kind of cartoon it's just horrible and i go yeah and i can't yell very loud as it hurts to yell carter anybody so they come in there like what's wrong what's wrong wrong. I'm like, it's another one of these. They knew, they knew right when they saw me what was

going on. Now, this time was, was markedly worse than previous episodes. I think I just did it the worst possible way or something, but it was worse that day. You're getting older, right? I mean, so things will. Maybe that's it. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. But like two years ago, it wasn't nearly this bad. And for the most part, since I've been about 20 or 21, and I've had all the tests and the MRIs and all that, it's never a slip disc. It's never a thing they can operate on. it's a tall guy thing and it's my family has a you know a history of of kind of weak backs and it's also me not doing enough to strengthen my back which i need to turn that around now so anyway sure point is hurts like a mother i can't move at all so they come in there to help me i can barely move

with them propping me up and the pain i can only describe it as like white bright light in my eyes it's just so bad just blinding yeah blinding pain just horrendous so horrendous so they get me to a bed. Now, normally, I might be six hours in a bed like that with an episode like this. And then I might start to be able to kind of pull myself up and very slowly kind of putter around or whatever. Not this time. 24 hours didn't move off my back. I couldn't move. I tried. I couldn't. So now comes the embarrassing part. As you know, human beings have to pee. We pee. We urinate. We have to eliminate. waste. Bodily waste. Right, from our body. Now, thankfully, had a poo before I picked up the shoes. Okay, good. So, you know,

feeling pretty, pretty empty on the old, on the old, the pooper tank down there. But I'm laying there and about, I don't know, two, three hours into this, I'm like, freak, I'm going to have to pee. And I can't roll to my side. I can't get up. I can't, they try, we do a number of attempts to try to move me. The pain. is so bad. I don't remember my name while it's happening. It's so bad. Can't move, dude. I wish I'd have had video so you just could see me at my worst.

I don't know if we wanted to. I think that that's a thing better experienced alone. Yes. I mean, it's good to have people around you, but can you imagine being right? Maybe with, let me rephrase that. It's a thing better experience outside of social media.

Exactly. I heard from a couple of fans who have similar situations and they were like I lived by myself then and it was the worst experience in my life. Oh, I don't know what you do, right? Do you just call somebody and... I don't know what else you can do, right? Us to my window to come in, unlock the door, whatever. Yeah, I'd take a robber at this point, have him help me.

But anyway, so I'm laying there and I said, Cam, we got to get creative. I got to pee real bad. And she goes, what do you mean? Creative. And I said, all right, I can't get up. She goes, well, let me do this. She brings a jar. And I'm like, well, how?

How is that? I can't, the jar isn't going to work. It's a, it's a jar. And I'm up here. I can't turn to create, I cannot create the gravitational direction. The laws of physics and gravity. Uh-huh. You know, I can't do it. So she says, all right, let me think of something. She leaves. And she's off being total McGuiver on this. I can hear like, tink, tank, tank, doors opening and shutting. Like, she's coming up with something. She comes back and she has the same jar, but now that is going to be on the floor on top of a shoebox. and connected to that are she has taped like industrial taped four big I don't know what to call these you know when kids kids have like a um like an icy or like a slurpy and the and the straws are just gigantic huge straws she has a bunch of these for some reason like a boba tea straws or bigger than that there you go boba tea like round and big enough to pull a bunch of little boba tea balls through okay she taped a bunch of what this is meaning for your manhood, but keep going anyway.

It doesn't quite go that bad. So she attaches all these together, and she's created a slight bend to it all. It's actually very cool how she did it. And on the very end is a funnel. And the goal is to somehow work it so I can bend the straw enough so it doesn't flip out of the thing or, you know, make a giant problem, but then get the funnel close enough to me where I can, you know, do what I got to do into this funnel. Sure.

And I was sure that this Rube Goldberg nightmare machine was not going to do it. I was going to get pee everywhere and we're all going to regret it. It freaking worked. It worked. Really? It was great. I made everybody leave. I'm like, out of here. I'm peeing on my, by myself.

Give me some dignity. Get out of the freaking room. I'm not doing this while you're in here. This is something that was covered on the first episode of Kirby Enthusiasm this season, I believe, maybe the second episode. Oh, good. Fantastic. Not this exact thing, but having a loved one. see you do a thing that

they should never see well that was one of these situations and I was like Kim I just can't have you in here you got to get out of here so I made or leave and I did it and I and I can't really tell if it's working while it's happening because you can't see the jar you can't see

the tape I mean I'm going like this like best I can to see it I just can't see you bet you didn't have any of those like you know those things that as a kid you spun around their plastic tube with a bendy um bendy ribs in it and they go

whee okay it still hurts to laugh a little just a little but I know exactly what you're talking about. Um, it would have been nice. But so this thing did actually hold up.

We didn't have a single leaker a problem. It worked great. And yeah. She looks at this jar. She does like that nurse did to me when I was like eight when I gave a urine sample to a nurse and she goes, whoa. And then doesn't say, why my wife did the same thing she picked it up wow well in her case she said that's what she said

she goes you peed a lot i said well i had to go i haven't gone since you know anyway why is there corn in there yeah well why is there i don't remember you having corn or passing it through your urethra anyway so uh that worked and that was great and we knew that would be we had a solution yeah for any time and you want to stay hydrated back back stuff You know, you don't want to sit there and dehydrate yourself. So, so that all happen. And yes, TMI, Jeannie, but you're all my friends, okay? You're all here.

You're all family. Don't worry about it. I'd have kicked you all out of the room, too, but you would have been there to witness, you know. You would have to come to pick up the jar. So anyway. I'm sure there's a lot worse things you, the part of this story you could be telling us. So thank you for sparing us. Yeah, I could make it worse, but I won't.

So anyway, she comes back. It's good. That was a small comfort to know that we had a system because, I seriously couldn't even shift an inch for 24 hours. Here's what's worse. I couldn't prop my head up either because that hurt. So I'm flat ceiling looking. No TV.

No freaking, well, I had TV on, but all I could do is listen to Futurama. Yeah, you couldn't watch it. You didn't have a little periscope device set up or like a little... No, but I'm going to buy one in the meantime until for next time. No, no way. But it just, you know, that was some comfort to have that going. And I couldn't really use my phone other than to tell you quick things or answer quick text or something. So I just laid there for a day in this clothes that I changed into after my

shower and then the thought came to me at some point I'm going to have to see a man about a horse, right? It's going to have to happen. Yeah, this this jar and funnel situation is great and all, but. Yeah, exactly. Now here's where it goes super south. Forget about, okay, everything I've told you sounds like a pain you deal with it you try to get better you move on all of that the second night was it the second night yeah second night the nights are really hard by then i had been able to be lifted up by them it really hurt but i did it i could put her a little bit i put some video up of me barely moving went back to bed but but i had a method and it started i could tell it was getting better it was alleviating and it was starting to shift to the right which always

happens for some reason it's always in my right side anyway so this is all going to going on and then that second night I'm actually thinking I'm going to sleep I'm like I'm so tired because I didn't sleep the night before so I think I'm going to fall asleep here so I start to fall asleep and then at midnight I hear meep meep meep oh no did you hear how many times that was five five of those yeah five meep okay okay that was more than the usual two meeps that we had the previous couple of weeks if you guys remember the story I told it on the show It was a CO, CO detector. CO detector, exactly.

And thank you to all the people emailed me and go, CO2. It's not CO2, Scott. It's CO. I know. All right. I just effed it up. Just calm down. All right.

Anyway. Right. So that thing meeps five times. And then there's no, I woke up thinking, did I dream that? And then it's almost immediately meeping again. And doing it rapidly. I'm like, that doesn't sound good. And I thought once you figured out what it was, you were able to like replace the, oh, no, because

it was, it's like a take out the whole wall. kind of thing to... Yes, and that's part of this fun story. So, oh gosh, I forgot about that part of it, actually. I'm glad you brought that up. So here's what happens. Kim, I poke Kim, and she's like, uh, and I'm like, and she's dead tired for lots of reasons, plus

she's taken care of me. She's had a crazy week herself. So she gets up, Carter gets up, they go into the hallway and they're looking at the thing and it's saying you know, all the warnings on it are flashing and it's doing five meaps constantly and it's really loud. And, and,

And we're like, do we evacuate? And I'm like, you guys remember where I am, right? What's going on with me? Because this is bad. And they're like, well, we can't, you know, blah, blah, blah. So I said, call 911 and ask them what they do. Just call them. And so we haven't called 911 since the kids were three or something.

And I don't even remember what that was for. That was for my grandmother or something. So we did that. I don't know. It was when Carter or Taylor choked on plastic. Anyway. Oh, geez. Okay.

A long time ago. She's fine now. Anyway, so Kim calls 911 and 911 says, get out of the house and stay there because that sounds bad. And we have people just for this. So stay out there. Well, we're sending a crew of firefighters to your freaking house. Okay. So here we are at midnight.

It's 31 degrees outside, by the way. So freezing. It's freezing. I'm not wearing anything worth being outside in. And there's no time for me to do anything, let alone bend over and, put anything on like i have to go out like putting clothes on you're not putting your pants on you're putting your pants on zero legs at a time exactly so they come in here this thing's going meat meat meat the dogs are going burr freaking out uh and we got to get the animals out which is a giant

pain in its own right sure they come in to get me taylor or sorry kim on one shoulder carter on the other shoulder they lift me up i am in excruciating pain from this it's just killing me i ended up having to fall on the floor on my knees and then have them pick me up so it's just a just a nightmare. And I'm like, this can't be happy. How could this timing be so bad? It hasn't meeped since the other meaps. So there's new meaps.

Right. Right. So we go outside. Our long national meat mare was over. I'm living my own worst meep mare. So I go out front. I'm sitting in chairs. They've sat me down. I'm freezing.

So I'm shaking and I'm holding myself kind of tight as you do when you're cold. That hurts. So I'm just going, oh, my gosh. Oh, God. Yeah. If you shiver at all, I'm sure that's like, just being cold while you're in pain sucks. It's the worst. And I got one of the dogs, you know, Pat and Tammy trying to get me to pet him.

And I'm like, oh, my gosh, you don't know what we're doing here, do you? So finally, or actually pretty quickly, roop, they pull up. And it's four firefighters, all with big old masks on, not COVID masks. Like, big old, like, we're going to find your CO leak masks. Gotcha. Oh, like, like gas masks. Yeah, they look like World War I people. you know, like mustard gas.

So they come in there and they busts through the door and Kim explains where everything is and they go through there. They don't bust. They walk in. And they say, now stay out here. Don't come in.

We're going to go and do full test every level, every bubble, and they have all these testers with them. So they go in there and I can still hear it going, meep, meep, meep, meep. And they're in there running around trying to find stuff. And we're not sure what's happening.

About five, six months later, they come out and they go, well, you don't have any CO anywhere in this house. It's 100% clear. here. I think your thing's gone crazy. And we're like, well, it's in the wall. Like, we don't know what to do about that. Right. And so he says, well, let's do this. I'm going to try to take it off that wall and do as little damage as possible. I'm like, all right, go ahead and do that. He goes in there, cranks it off there somehow, brings it outside and hands it to us. I look at the back

of it. Now, remember, this is one that you're supposed to mount and mount permanently. Or, you know, as permanently as they are, you're supposed to stick. it in your wall and have it there. On the back is a sticker. Maybe other documentation existed at some point. The original owners had it. I don't know where you could read this somewhere else. But on the back of this detector, it says,

five meeps means, or beeps. Uh-huh. I call them meaps. Be great if it said meeps. It would be great. It says five, in effect, it says five meaps means end of life for device, Pete, please replace. Okay.

I just about shit myself. I was so mad. I was like, are you kidding me? And what did they have to do? Was it just like a turn it and eighth of a rotation? Yes, it was one of those with those like plastic hooks

and if you don't turn it the right way, it won't work, but it just shunk and pulled out. And on the back and said, if you're getting five beeps, just replace the device. It has nothing to do with it going off or any kind of whatever.

So we took it off. We also happened that day to get, because I did order another one and had it there. but we thought, well, why isn't that one reading it and this one is reading it? So it's just part of the chaos. So here's a dumb question. Go ahead.

Why not put that on the front? That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And also, you know, I guess we could have done it. Why does that have to be on the back? Like, you know, oh, five meaps, this thing's end of life crate. I don't have to be super careful about taking it off. I can just rip it off the wall.

It's a garbage design. And it's, you know, it's 10 years old. or 12 years old or something. But still, it's a bad design. You don't put it on the back of the thing. How am I supposed to know? Now, I could have done an exhaustive Google search and tried to track this model down.

That wouldn't take me forever. We're in 31-degree weather. There's firemen all over the house. Like, I didn't know what to make any of that. So I just didn't do that. So when we finally got it and realized what it was, it was a huge relief. But now nobody can sleep.

So then they got to lift me up again. Carry me into the house. Couldn't the fire department? Don't they have those boards? Those boards with all the armhole or the hand handles on the side. They could just, hey, why do you guys are here? There are four of you. Could you run me back inside?

You literally just found my pride breaking point. I couldn't have done it. If they would have offered, I would have said, no, I'm good. Really? Oh, my God. I just like, might as well, right? It's not going to, it's a, I'm not proud of it. You're tax dollars at work.

I'm not proud of it, but I have this point of pride where I, or, or, I just refuse to let people, I hate that feeling of like being helpless and someone else has to help me. I hate it. So I didn't do it. Anyway, long story short, back to bed. Crisis averted, whatever. They don't charge you for that. They were really nice. Those guys were great. They were super cool. And if it had been a real issue, well, then we were doing the right thing and, you know, all that. There is no CO leak at the house. And my brain kept going back to the earthquake in 2020 in, was it March of 2020? we had that earthquake. Oh, yeah, right.

Boy, in the grand scheme of 2020, sure forgot about that. Yeah, right. So my brain kept going back to that going, well, maybe that shook something loose, broke a pipe, busted a thing, cracked of something,

you know, like you always think of those things. But it didn't. It was fine. And everybody's fine. There is no CO in the house. That thing's a piece of shit. It only meeped in the middle of the night. Whenever it did meet,

it only meet at night. No day meeping. No day meeping. No day meeping. effing thing effing thing is what nandor would say effing thing gyrmo gyrmo guy anyway the point is here's the point don't be like me and hurt yourself real bad so that you have another thing to worry about like a dumb uh CO detector going shitty because it was the worst week it was so bad plus we had kim was tendon kids all week we had a million things going on was busy busy busy busy busy and then that happened. At the end of the day, I'm glad for the experience. It was a learning time for me. But mostly, I'm just grateful the listeners gave us a little time off. Sorry, everybody. I hate doing that. I didn't want to miss shows. I didn't have a choice. I couldn't move. I tried to do.

Yeah, and I could tell, you know, you listeners don't see the text that Scott and I have back and forth. And it's like, oh, dude, this is killing me. I hate missing a show, but we got a bomb. I'm just in too much pain. And you can tell the, you know, when either one of us has to cancel or suggest bumping the show, it's, it tears us. You're tearing us apart, Lisa. That's right.

It feels like we're, you know, letting everybody down, including ourselves, and we hate it. But that's why we're doing today. And then a bunch of you freaked out and said, don't do any new shows. Like, you're supposed to take it off. And so we're like, all right, fine, we'll just do Monday. So we're here.

We're here. We're doing a show on Monday. All right. And by the way, as I got feeling better and could put her around, a little bit. I played a lot of Halo, okay? That's what I did with my time. The new Halo,

Infinite multiplayer is great, and I couldn't stop playing it. And it's great. Game pass, maybe. Game pass. Yeah, game pass. And also, they put in all those new Game Pass Blade server things.

Latency is like in, I can't find latency on the cloud stuff now. Oh, Brian, what did you just do? Cut a Nat. This net has been driving me nuts. you murdered it I murdered a Nat and I'm happy about it and I would do it again 100%.

Yeah without even thinking about it. Just kill that Nat. Who cares? Screw that Nat. All right. I want to say congratulations to a listener. So enough about me. I'm done telling you about my stupid F and back. All right. The only time you'll hear about

it in the future is if something changes. But right now we're good and I'm good. Okay? Everything's fine. Everything's fine. I want to say, I want to say, I don't continue to heal, it'll all be fine. I want to say, or say a congratulations to Diego or Diago. Diago? Diago.

Diago, Santos. Oh, no, Diago, I'm sorry, Diago. Is it Diago? Okay. Yeah, for some reason, I was trying to make him into a Pokemon. Oh, well, look, got to catch him all. Anyway, he, he's getting married, he got hitched, or is getting hitched. There's a really great video of him and his fiancé with a proposal.

happening over on the Facebook Tadpool group and I saw that and went you know what? We should call that dude out for his awesome new life experience. Heck yeah. A tadposal.

Yeah, tadposal. There's some way to work it at. I don't have it right now. I don't know what it is. A pooprozo. Yeah. We'll do it. Proposal.

Give Brian, we got a little time this week. Brian will come up with a better one. I'll work it out. I'll work it out. I'll report back on Monday. Yeah, it'll be fine. But I just wanted to say congratulations to them. It was a very sweet video and very,

seem like just nice people and Diogo's been around the community forever and just nice to see when people have cool stuff happen to them so for sure. So there you go. Well, hey, so a lot of things obviously we've been gone a fair amount of time, Scott, and a lot has

happened in the past several days. Really quick, I had in the notes movie theater experience and I want to talk about that. But before that, I want to talk about a concert experience because I forgot to bring this up because it was Tuesday night. We didn't do a show Wednesday. That's when I would have brought this up. Back in 2019, I bought tickets for Chris Brown and myself to go see Nick Lowe and

those strait jackets. Nick Lowe, the guy, everybody knows from the song, Cruel to Be Kind, probably best known for that, but also he's the original artist behind the song, What's So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding by Elvis Costello. Oh, I didn't know that. He's the original. And he's part of that whole group with Elvis Costello, Billy Bremner, Dave Edmonds, that whole era of pub rock was all these guys. Sure. And just amazing. So, bought these tickets back in 2019. We all know what happened. I'll need to say it. And finally, the concert was rescheduled to last Tuesday. So me and Chris Brown, I call him CB. CB and I went and we're like, oh, let's have dinner down there by the concert venue.

And this was a place where you had to show a vaccine card. You could not get in without a vaccine card. Sure. Makes sense. Yes, exactly. It's like, you know, I'm happy to see things like this. Totally happy to see things like this. Yeah, no problem.

So we go to dinner. And while we're sitting there at dinner, I said, by the way, he's been listening to TMS lately. And I said, by the way, I hope you know that I've been really curbing my use of the phrase. the funny thing about that is, or the funny thing is, because he's the person who actually called me out on it. He's the one who said, Brian, you know, you say that a lot. Funny thing is. And a lot of times it's not funny.

It's interesting or it's coincidental, but it's not funny. He's probably seconds away from emailing me saying quit saying, and the point is, or so the point is, or ultimately the point is. He's no Bob Peterson. I'll say that, but not by a long shot. Where is Bob? Anyway, sorry. I don't know.

We miss Bob. He says, so I, so I tell him, I said, I hope you know that I've been curbing it and not saying it. I'm trying to make a note about not saying it. And without missing a beat, he goes, five times. Yeah. I said, what? He says, you've said it five times tonight so far. And I picked him up from his house and we drove to the restaurant.

And somehow in that amount of time, I'd already done that five times. And you didn't even notice you were doing it. I didn't even notice I was doing it. Look at him. He, maybe he is Bob Peterson. Patterson. Maybe he is Bob Peterson. Yeah. So I get to the concert, go in.

We see the, the way the Oriental Theater is laid out. There's stage level, and then there's, like, seats in the back, a big open floor, no seats, where you just stand and get right up close to the stage. And then there's a balcony. And neither of us, like all the seats in the back of the stage floor were taken, we didn't want to stand and just be in a cluster of people, regardless of everybody being vaccinated. sure um nobody likes doing that in the best of times so in the best of times exactly it's like you know farts hot farts all over the place there and people are dancing and singing along it's just irritating so we said let's check out the balcony balcony on the other hand very well set up um people were already seated up there they were clustered in groups leaving a seat or two between

them right so it's like a couple people a seat or two then a couple more people seat or two four people then a couple more seats etc and they were people were being very good about it that yeah great we grab we grab a couple seats again a seat away from people on either side and get some drinks take off our masks and and start waiting for the show house lights come down opening act comes out dude from uh Wisconsin playing the guitar and in comes a couple a couple of schlubs husband and wife mr and mrs schlub great they go to the very front row where people have been leaving space and they take the space

that people have been leaving in between the social distancing spaces. Lovely. So they just take a couple groups that left two seats between them, they plop down their butts and sit right there, which happens to be directly in front of Chris Brown and I.

Perfect. You and CB now obscured. Me and CB. Our view of the stage slightly obscure at this point. Not too bad, but slightly. Our Mr. and Mrs. Schlob tall people or are they average height? They're average height. Okay.

They're wide people. They're not tall people. Depends on which direction you're talking about. They're tall if they're laying down. Okay. They sit down and then the wife kind of looks around.

And then she gets out her phone, which is both tuned to the absolute highest brightness possible. Excellent. And with the largest font possible, great and types a message to her husband saying I can't believe

nobody around us is wearing a mask right now after they just took the social distancing seats that's terrible how unaware were they that's so dumb completely oblivious so Chris Brown sees and he kind of laughs is like yeah just see what her thing said and like yeah great

her text was that big you could read her text was that big you could read it Oh, my gosh. And it continued, Scott. These guys, these two, had their phones out for the entirety of the concert. And every once in a while, when it was a song they recognized, like, oh, cruel to be kind, they'd flip over to their photos, because these were iPhones, flip over to their photography or their camera, go to video, record a few seconds of video, and then the husband would, like, put it up on Facebook.

The rest of the time, he was scrolling through Facebook, look at it. waiting for people to comment on the videos he was posting. Like, it is notifications. How do I know this? How was I able to see this, Scott? Because his phone was set to the maximum brightness, and his font was super large. Wow.

I can tell you his unlock code was 1-1-1. Well done, dude. And it was big enough. His font was big enough that I was able to see his full name on Facebook. And so I friended him during the concert. No way. Yes. Tell me you got on there and made.

messaged him or something. Tell me you said something. I got, I friended him. I was like, oh, I'm going to, like, rip him one. I'm just going to, like, comment on this video and saying, oh, it was nice of you to stop perusing, scrolling through your notifications long enough to watch some of the concert. And then as I do it, I see, oh, crap, we've got a mutual friend.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I was going to completely, like, friend him, comment on the thing, and then peace out. And then on friend of mute block, whatever. You were going to do like a quick drive-by shooting version of it. A drive-by, right, drive-by commenting. Yeah. I decided against it.

Dang it. Who was a mutual friend, though? Do you know? Do you remember who that? Yeah, it's somebody I know from, yeah, one of my trivia buddies. And it's like, God, damn it. But he did. By the way, he friended me back immediately without even hesitation.

Even though he's been, you know, they'd been looking around all night at all the people not wearing masks. surprised he didn't recognize me. Yeah, no kidding. Are you this bald guy here? Is this you? You really want to be my friend? Right. So Chris Brown, and she's pulling her phone out.

Like, she's got her fun out the whole time doing the same thing. She's scrolling through a New York Times article. Again, I know this because I can clearly see the app. I can clearly see the headline. And I can see her kind of scrolling through it. And just obnoxious as hell. Chris Brown at this point has had enough. And he leans forward and he says something to her.

And she, almost like she was struck by a, by a baseball bat, turns her phone off, puts it in her lap, and doesn't open it for the rest of the night. Wow. Got her then. Exactly. So as we're walking out of the concert, that was during the last song, it was during the last encore, as we're leaving. Yeah. I'm like, dude, what did you say to her to do that, to get her to put it away so quickly? Yeah.

And he says, Brian, why don't you take a guess? And I said, oh, did you say something like, if you don't put your effing phone away right now, you're going to have to wiggle your butt to make a call? And I did use way more harsh language, by the way, that you would hardly believe words I was using. And he's like, no, I just said, every time you turn your phone on, the brightness shines right back in my face. maybe turn it off. And that's all he said. He was civil about it. He was nice about it.

And she reacted well. And there just goes to show you, there's nothing funny about peace, love, and understanding. You just need to have it every once in a while. That's right. Sometimes you need to have it. But yeah, that's great. I was afraid there was going to be a brawl or something.

But I'm glad it worked out. I thought there was going to be a brawl. I don't know why you go to a concert and do that on your phone the whole time. Right. If you're going to a concert, look, I understand, hey, I'm going to pull out to the camera and shoot a little video of a favorite song of mine, absolutely. Totally good. But when you're not doing that,

either turn the phone off, put in your lap, or put in your pocket, or whatever. But, you know, reading a New York Times article while this awesome band is playing, holy crap, the low straitjackets were fan-freaking tastic. I bet they were. Yeah. They're wearing their luchador masks the entire time. Nick Lowe was doing every one of his hits. There was nothing left on the table. Every song that we wanted to hear he performed.

Maybe they were influencers. Maybe they were like that dude in the bus in Shang Chi where he was like, Yo, what is up, fam, I'm watching this fight on the bus. Maybe that maybe that's it. Yeah, maybe that was it. But the fact that she was reading like some New York Times article, A, that's weird in a concert. B, you got to subscribe to the New York Times to even read it. That's great.

That's right. Oh, by the way, this guy is because I, you know, I had to look at his Facebook profile, he is a member of a band, a local Denver band. And you'd think maybe he'd have a little more respect for bands. Is his band, is the band called a 32 point? Because that'd be great for his time. 100% brightness of the 32 points. 32 points. That's right.

Hey, I love brightness in the 32 points. They're amazing. They're so good. That's a fun time. Yeah, I won't do my movie theater story, but I will tell you. You know what, maybe I'll save that for, um, for, another, either another day or something else and, uh, we'll get it out there. But you did a double, uh, double, uh, what do you call it? Technically triple, right? Because we saw Ghostbusters Thursday night. Oh, right. Right.

We saw last night in Soho Saturday night. And then we saw, um, French dispatch Sunday afternoon. So three movies in the last, uh, several days. I watched Dune again last night. So I, I guess I'm, yeah, I don't know. That doesn't really count a rewatch of a thing I already liked. But, okay, so. let's just do a quick thumbs up, thumbs down across the board without too much spoiler. Did you like everything that you saw? Let's start with Ghostbusters. We loved Ghostbusters.

You know, it's a tremendous homage to the original, but there's enough new story with these kids, with Finn Wolfhard and this girl who plays Phoebe, his sister. Phoebe, is that right? Phoebe? Yeah, she's Ross and Ross,

Ross and Phoebe. Yeah, right. Exactly. Joey and Phoebe. Anyway, it's a very sweet homage, not just to the original film, but it's a love letter to Harold Ramos, and they do a thing in this film,

and all I'm going to say is they do a thing in this film that I have hated in the past, and they do it so well in this one that I loved it. Oh, wow. Okay. That's it. That's all I'm going to say about that. I am really curious about that. You kind of hinted to that of the other day. I have no idea with that

is until I see it, I guess. Yeah. Last Night Soho was really good, surprisingly different than what I was expecting as far as what the trailers give you and what the actual movie is. Edgar Wright, it's kind of his tribute to film noir in a way. But there's a lot of interesting, like, time travel, more like apparitions, things like that that go on them like, oh, this is really good. Anya Taylor Joy is great.

She's great. She's the future of movie lady, I think. She's going to be amazing. I think so. Yeah. Future Hollywood. She's so good. And French Dispatch was the Wes Andersoniest of Wes Anderson movies.

The dude comes in. He even tells you at the very beginning what you're going to get, which he's never done in a Wes Anderson movie before. But at the very beginning, you almost get an outline like it's a PowerPoint presentation. and what my your thing going off I don't know what I said I don't know what I said but she's doing something

Wes Anderson's always listening yeah he tells you what you're going to get and he delivers it and it's it's one of those then it's one of those and there's nothing at all wrong with it it's fantastic I love his movies so actually you know good reviews all around

I'd say you see anything yet this year where you're like oh Oscar Bate we're in we're in it now. We're going to win an Oscar with this movie sort of deal. Of the three of those, I could actually see French Dispatch being nominated.

Yeah. Probably nominated for sure. Probably not the other two. Yeah. May not win. Probably nominated. Because he's that guy now. He gets... He's that guy now. Yeah. Exactly. Which is totally fine with me. Yeah. Go back and retroactively give it to the Royal Tannenbombs, one of the greatest film doing that. That's so good, yeah.

Did you... I was it going to say I'm convinced after my second viewing of Dune that they'll get nominated for best possible best direction, but for sure special effects. The special effects in cinematography are unfreaking believable. They're so good. They're so good. So everyone else

step to the side. Let the French guy through. He wins those categories. I mean, I can see that would be the one place where Eternals could actually get noticed as in cinematography. Because that is a beautiful movie. I keep hearing that.

I got to see that, too. I really like Shang-Chi. I had a really good time. Yeah. You know what? I need to watch it again, but I really did enjoy it. Yeah, it was fun.

I thought it was, I don't understand the Aquafina character. I like her generally, but I don't understand why she's in that. It's a weird. She's, you know, she's your cat Dennings and the Thor movies,

or as you like to call them, the Thor movie. Yeah, the Thor movie. Well, I guess I've seen two. I can say movies. You've seen Rag and Rock and Yeah, that's true. But it's a, and I, I really, okay, I'll tell you what distracted me, and then we'll finally move on here.

Those guardian lions toward the final third of the film, that's all I can think about it anymore. I want one of those so bad. They're so badass. Like I've never seen, you see statues and, you know, the ones that are in front of temples and all that. And you always go, oh, what a cool design or whatever. But to see them fully realized like that, those shook me, man. those were so bad ass. Oh, I love that.

Yeah. All right. Yep. Well, now we have to make an executive decision. We have 10 minutes. Oh, we got to do. We got to play this game. All right.

It's already, wow, look at that. That's all right. We'll go through this quick. Laura, make this work. We're making it work, you guys. Here's what you got to do. Call the number 8014710462 if you want to participate in today's thing because you're going to be going up against me because we don't have done away today. So call now.

This is happening. That's right. It's a chance for us to play Babbel Royale this time. with the help of a listener. Well, no, with a listener who could win some stuff, is what I'm trying to say. That's right. Yes, and a listener, this is a new game, by the way. This is not something we've played before us, so this will be fun.

I'm a little nervous. All right, let's find out who's on the line. Hi, who's this? Hi, guys, it's Amy. Hello, Amy. Nice to have you back. How are you? Hey, how's it going?

I'm so glad you're feeling better, Scott. I know my husband has had similar stuff, and it's just miserable. It's the worst, but I am feeling better, and everybody was very, very, nice while I was out, so huge thanks to everybody for being so nice. All right, we're going to go for this. Hey, Brian, you want to explain to Amy what she's in for today? I will. Welcome

to buy the numbers a game where Scott is going to have to guess pop culture numbers with the aid of red frackle here. Amy, you're going to be guessing if the actual answer that Scott gives is higher no, you're going to guess if the actual answer is higher or lower than Scott's guess.

See, I haven't written this part up, but this is how it's could be playing. If you get three out of five, you win, a couple of games from the Steam Library here, Dead in Vinland, and Horizon Chase Turbo. Oh, that's a great game. Crazy for a turbo is fan-freakantastic. I own that in three places. I liked it so much. It's very good. I own that game in three places. All right. So here's how it's going to work, Amy. I'm going to give Scott a question, pop culture question, that the answer is a number. He's going to give his numerical guess, if he's right, I'm just going to give you a point right away.

If he's wrong, I'm going to ask you if the actual answer is higher or lower than the number he gives me. And if you get three of these right, then you win. That's how it works. This is great. This is like Bob Barker kind of stuff a little bit. It kind of is. It kind of is. Yes. It's actually kind of card sharks, I guess. Yeah, it's good thing. It's like card sharks. Yeah, exactly. It's card sharks. Okay. All right. I'm down. Scott. In the movie Alien, just alien, singular, How many minutes into the film do we hear the first line of dialogue? Oh, okay.

Because, you know, it's super quiet, right? It's very quiet. Space. No one can hear you talk for a long time. Nobody wakes up until, or it doesn't happen until people wake up from cryo, I think. Does the computer, does mother? That's not dialogue. Mother going with her little notifications.

It's not count as dialogue. Okay, so just spoken language of some sort. exactly um i'll give it it must be significant or if this wouldn't be a question so i'm going to say 15 minutes okay 15 minutes is incorrect amy is the correct answer higher or lower than 15 minutes hmm well i know a real is usually 20 minutes and i think it would be significant if it wasn't if it was like after the first real like the first whole reel was silent. I'm going to go higher. Look at her looking back on in time

and going like, hey, it was the late 70s and we still did reels and I don't know, there's something about that. All right. All right. The actual answer is lower. It's six minutes. Oh, it's only six? Oh, it's only six. Oh, I swear it was longer. All right. That was a tricky one. That's pretty

significant for a movie. I mean, movies usually as soon as the credits are done rolling, you hear dialogue. But, uh, wow, more than I thought. Okay. All right. Scott, how many times is the full line I've got my mind set on you sung in the song Got My Mind Set on You. So the full line, I've got my mindset on you. How many times does George Harrison sing that song in, or seeing that line in the song?

Let's go with, oh, that feels too high. I'm not going to go that high. let's go with 12 let's say 12 12 okay 12 is incorrect Amy is the actual answer higher or lower than 12 all right it's got to be higher

I have to think it's higher because that's like half the song it is half the song you're right I hope it's higher because then I feel redeemed somehow if it's higher all right is the actual answer higher or lower it is indeed higher 18 times the line is sung in that song okay i figured it was some kind of even number because yeah that's how stands it would be right uh there's uh four choruses where he sings it

four times and then there's another uh sub chorus where he sings i've got my mind set on you and then you jefflin going set on you oh so we're counting those then we don't count the we don't count the partials only the fulls okay that's right all right it's still too many times by the way just put it out there. 18 is too many. Go ahead. 18 is too many. Okay. In the film, in the Christmas movie, Die Hard. Oh, yeah. The holiday favorite, diehard. Holiday favorite diehard.

How much money was Hans Gruber after in Nakatomi Plaza? Oh. How much was he trying to steal? Oh, geez. Because he would say that those bonds were worth something. That's right. Exactly. $300 million. All right. Is the actual answer

300? It is not. But, Amy, is the actual answer higher or lower than $300 million? Ooh. Okay. This is hard because you've got to count for inflation. It is hard. Yeah. Because I'm like, okay, what would have seemed like a big but plausible number back then?

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Late 80s numbers are not the same as today's. Oh, that's right. It was late 80s. Yeah. I'm going to go lower. I'm going to lower.

Okay. The actual answer is. It is higher. $640 million in bombs. $640? $640 million. I thought it was like an even straight up like $300, $500, something like that. All right.

We've got two questions left. You can need to run these questions to win the prizes, Amy. So let's see how it goes. Scott, the Boeing 747-8 has the worst toilet to passenger ratio in the sky. With one toilet per how many passengers. Why are two of these questions so far absolutely made for me? Sorry, can you rephrase the last part of the question again? Absolutely, yes.

So the worst toilet to passenger ratio in the sky, meaning two few bathrooms for too many passengers. With one toilet per how many passengers on the plane. So in other words, you take the number of passengers on the plane, divide that by the number of bathrooms, and that's the ratio of toilets to passengers. I'm going to say one toilet for, that's a big plane. One toilet per every 20 passengers.

All right. 20 is incorrect. Amy is the actual answer higher or lower than 20. So the number of passengers per each toilet. Yeah, if you average the amount, like they all had to use the toilet at once, how many per toilet if you even them out? What a nightmare, by the way. What a nightmare.

Yeah, right? Yeah. And what did you say? You said 20? I said 20. Yeah, per 20. Okay. If it's higher than that, I will never take that plane.

F those guys. I'm going to say it's higher because it's like it's terrible. Like, right? Like it's known for being awful. So let's go, let's go higher. All right. The actual answer is 48. That number is higher.

Good job. You get that one. Nicely done. Yeah, one toilet per 48 passengers. Yeah, screw that, dude. 747-8. That's some bull crap. They've gone too far. They already've gone too far with how much they cram us in.

That's too much. Freaking forget it. Losers, jerks. That's right. All right. Oh, I love it. It's coming down to the final question. And, Amy, you could win these prizes if this works out.

Scott, what is the tomato meter score of the film Parasite? Um, ninety-eight. I'll say ninety-eight. Is the answer in 98? It is. Congratulations, you nailed it, yeah, which means he wins the prizes. I can't believe I got that right. I was totally guessing.

I knew it was high. I had no idea, though. I knew it was in the 90s. I was a total fluke. Wow. All right. Well, Amy, that means you won. That's amazing.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. get the whole chicken dinner, Brian, or Amy, and then Brian will send it to you. Coverville, gmail.com is the email address. How do you feel about your win? Awesome. Well, thank you so much because, like, I was like, oh, man, I'm not going to know that one. So that was, that one's down to you, Scott. I had no idea.

Because I would have had to go with the odds. And if it wasn't that, I would have had to go lower. I knew it was really high. And I don't think there's such a thing as a 100 out there, at least it's at fully release. Sometimes they get that in other reviews. but I don't think there's an... You get that early

and then it usually like, Peter's out. Yeah. Yeah. So you would have been safe. If I'd have said 90, you'd have been safe saying higher probably

and we would have... We could have totally made this thing work for you regardless. We could have gained... Yeah, Scott could have said 5% and then guaranteed you the win. Oh, yeah, look at that. To do that.

Yeah. This is this game. This game's all left up. Well, anyway, just kidding. Brian plays on the honor system and we're happy to play in there. Well, well, well done. You did it.

And it's always fun talking to you. Have a fantastic week. and we'll see you soon. All right. Brian, I went happy Thanksgiving. I know that Amy probably makes a mean turkey. I actually don't know. I bet she does.

We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to spend some time with our old pal Steven Schleiker. Going to do a little bit of that stuff, and I'm glad we are because I got some questions for him. And he's brought some cool stuff to the table as well. After that, we're going to do recommendals today, and a little switcheroo.

Randy will be joining us, and we'll make up for what we couldn't play on Wednesday. On a Wednesday, what? I know. It's crazy. but I can't do any of this shit until you play a song. Well, let's get to something that's fast-paced, fast-paced, or the fast-paced, and in your face, this is a band called Joker's Hand and a song called Goth Girlfriend.

As you can probably guess, it's an ode to individuality and healthy rebellion, and the song itself is fantastic, but the video is even better, so check it out. These guys just performed at the Venice West in California, and I expect a lot of great things from this band there. So, so good. This comes from a forthcoming eight-song EP called All-American Rage, which gets released in a couple weeks. December 7th is when you can pick up that brand new EP from Joker's Hand

Hello, Brian. Hey, man. Oh, man. You home this week, or what are you doing? Yeah, I'm home all this week. The boys get off on Wednesday, but I don't have. I don't have to go to work. I can hear it in your voice.

I can hear it. Yeah, you sound happy. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's, our walls are very thin at the workplace. And so if I get too excited or too loud, I know people hear me talking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they can't have, they can't have that, you know. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. So I, I, I, I'd, I'd see any of those things. No. There's a real, there's a real theme to what you got going. I like, you're going. Uh, well, it's good to have you here. Uh, uh, and, uh, yeah, go ahead. My wife was very concerned about you, Scott. Oh. Because I'd seen the announcement on Wednesday that you had hurt your back and you weren't going to do the thing. But for whatever reason, she follows you on Facebook or something. And I guess it was the day that you- Well, she doesn't know.

She's like, I don't know why I follow Scott on Facebook. I'm like, oh, yeah, and he's a cool guy. And she's like, yeah, that's probably. Yeah, that's all. But she's like, oh, my gosh, is Scott okay? Did he have back surgery? Because she had seen the video of you doing your little walking around. Oh, she thought maybe it was like recovery surgery or video or something.

So she's like, oh, man, I hope he's okay. And I'm like, eh, I think he just hurt his back surgery. back really bad. Oh, that's really sweet of her to say that. Yeah, it was, that was the day I decided, for whatever reason, I thought it'd be fun to sort of, uh, I got baited into that Twitter audio thing. So if you use the Twitter app, it let you record audio and people can listen to it. Not everyone has it. I don't know how they're rolling it out, but I got it. Anyway, um, so I did a few of those because it was hard to type and like look at the screen. I could just hit record and say stuff and then I thought I would film it. And then by the third or fourth one of those I did, I went,

nobody cares about this bullshit. I'm not doing this anymore. So that's why you didn't hear from me from like Thursday afternoon and on because I was just like, well, what's the point? You're all. You're all, I guess that had been Friday. Whatever. My schedule's all left up. I don't remember when this started. Like, it really messed me up. It made me appreciate. Let me tell you this thing. And I, you know, I don't mean to get, this doesn't sound mushy, I hope, or whatever. But it gave me this appreciation for, it's easy to forget. There are people who have such chronic conditions, whatever they may be. It may not be their back could be a million other things

could be a cancer they're going through it could be anything where they're that and worse all the time 24-7 constant pain trying to manage medication trying to make it happen and work and sometimes you forget just what that might be like

even just a taste of what that may be like so I just am really I really feel for people who have to deal with this all the time I don't know how they do it you're your superhuman strength people because I don't know how you do it Like, I am such a puss when I go down. Do you take meds?

Oh, I didn't even tell you. So they gave me some muscle relaxers this time. Oh, there you go. And those can make you a little loopy. And I took one before playing Halo for about three, four hours. And medically enhanced Halo play is really something. I mean, I was like, it was weird. I like had extra focus, but was relaxed at the same time.

It was odd. I kind of liked it. I'm like, I kind of want to do that again. I'm not going to do it again, all right, everybody. But you could, if you wanted to. You can mark the time stamp here, ladies. I ended up only... I ended up only taking two of those overall for two different days

because I really dislike taking pills of any kind if I can avoid it. And so I stopped, but I do have those in case anything ever goes south again. Or if I just really need to zen out to some Halo Infinite multiplayer. and I got a, you know, five or six pills left, so I'll let you know how that goes. But yeah, Gene, I probably did stand a little stone in one of those videos. But those were great. And look, hats off to my doctor. She knew exactly what to get.

And she knew what I'd need. She's dealt with me before on this. And it all went fine. So I guess what I'm saying to all, listen, all you people with chronic pain conditions, I don't think I've been kind enough to you. I get it, man. I feel like you guys go through hell. And it's hard.

I'm trying to be more mindful of it. So if you're listening to me and you're in your chronic pain sufferer, I felt like you for a couple of days. I'm going to try to remember what that felt like. All right, moving on. Hey, Stephen. Let's talk about a couple things here. Oh, I did want to tell you that I saw Shang Chi and I really liked it.

I can't remember what you said. Did you like it? Were you kind of... Oh, yeah, I really liked it. My wife really liked it a lot. I had some issues with some of the special effects stuff that looked a little faky and green screeny at times when it was like, this is a physical set you built.

Why are you green-screening this person in front of it? So there were a few of those. Yeah, and they were someone that were just talking. Like, I noticed that too, that when they were with Michelle Yo in the village, and they're just standing looking over this vista or whatever, I was like, that ain't being filmed in the same effing place. I don't know what they're doing here. Yeah. Yeah.

So that kind of bummed me out. But for the most part, actually, special effects, I thought were really great A and awesome. They just got weird with some of the practical mix. And a lot of that I think was, maybe some reshoots during COVID. Probably, yeah. Yeah, that makes it good. And so it's like, hey, stand in front of the green screen.

We'll do all the other stuff later. Yeah, they, they, um, I just, I guess I just came away going, Marvel took care with things like choreography. Mm-hmm. And telling, uh, telling an Asian hero perspective in a way that just felt really, um, like they really put something into it, not just surface level kung fu. If that makes sense. I was really, I was pleased by that.

I don't think Aquafina should be in there. And the reason I don't think that is not her. It's the way this character is written. She's just a friend who drives cars with him where they go park cars for a valet service. She happens to tag along. She picks up a bow for five seconds. And now she's basically an Avenger. That's weird.

Well, maybe. She went through a lot of training on that. Yeah. In that little. Did they? Because they didn't want her to do anything after the old guy's like, don't get killed or you aren't trained and not you know like they're always mad at her i don't know there's just something about she she is the every man character right so when we look at the history of

characters in comic books especially the reason why so many superheroes have sidekicks is because these comics are aimed at kids well what better way to fulfill a fantasy requirement than to have a young kid that's probably the age of the reader feel like they're part of the of the comic book that they're reading right so it's that fantasy fulfillment so aquafina serves the every man character in that we, the normie, get to experience this entire adventure through the eyes of the normal person in the story. Everyone else has these fantastic crazy powers

except for her. So that's your through character or your every man character in the piece. And the only other thing I would say, if there's any goodness in the world, Tony Leung gets a best supporting actor nomination. I think he's great in this. Now, I've always loved that dude.

I loved him in hard-boiled and all the old John Wu, Hong Kong stuff. But the guy that plays his dad, had the most, had the most, what's the word? Most passionate performance of the entire cast, I thought. And I thought he just killed it. I love that, dude.

So, so yeah. You want to freak me out at the end of the year, Academy of Sciences, of Arts and whatever? You come out and go, and your nominations for Best Supporting and give one to this guy. He's had a lifetime of amazing work. Now's the time for Tony, young. Go for it. All right. It's not going to happen, but I want it to. All right, let's talk about

Dark Horse. They're going to publish Star Wars comics again. I don't understand that. Why? What'd they do? They, so for years, Star Wars comics were being printed by Dark Horse, some really great runs of Star Wars comics. But when Lucasfilm was acquired by Disney, Marvel then reacquired the rights to publish Star Wars comics at the time. The Star Wars license was up and they opted not to renew with Dark Horse. Since then, IDW publishing has been running a lot of all ages, quote unquote, kid-friendly comics that are Star Wars related, Star Wars Adventures, Star Wars, Star Wars, The High Republic Adventures, and Star Wars Vader's Castle, which is a fun series that they do every October. Well, IDW's licensing with Marvel titles, the Marvel Adventures titles, and the Star Wars, and the Star Wars,

Wars titles came to an end. And so now it looks like Dark Horse will be publishing the High Republic Adventures stuff that ITW was publishing. That being said, if you read the press release that I posted at major spoilers.com, it makes it sound like Dark Horse will be doing all of the High Republic series completely instead of Marvel Comics. And there are a couple High Republic series currently running at Marvel Comics that are ending right around the same time that these new Star Wars comics at Dark Horse are taking

off. So I don't know if it's All Star Wars, the High Republic stuff, or just the IDW stuff. Why are they doing that, though? Why is Marvel cool, or why is Disney and Marvel like, yeah, let's give it back to Dark Horse? I don't understand what the value to that is. So here is my Stevens punditry rant kind of bit. Hold on. I got a clip for that. I have a clip for that. Marvel doesn't like to publish comics for kids. All right, there. I gave you just a little bit. If you go and look, some of the best kids comics that feature Marvel superhero. are the Marvel Superhero's Adventures that that IDW was publishing. And they just seemed to, they Marvel at one time did a whole line of Disney comics that went nowhere. And I really think Marvel is just not interested in publishing the kid friendly comics.

Interesting. And I don't think of Dark Horse as a kid's publishing house though either. No, I don't. No, but if you were the publisher that used to be the top dog when it came to Star Wars and then you lost the Star Wars franchise and you had the chance to get even a portion of the Star Wars franchise, again, I think you'd jump for it. Yeah, he probably would. I mean, they, when all that stuff got stripped from them, including aliens and all.

Creditor and all that. Yeah, which really, if they're going to do, well, okay, so I read that newer, new-ish alien run they're doing on Marvel. It's okay. It's not great, great, but it's okay. It doesn't have the edge that they did when they were over at Dark Horse, and that's why, like, if I had my way, I'd be like, give Dark Horse that stuff again. Like, let them.

And they might down the right. I mean, certainly the option, from my perspective, is that Disney says, hey, we should keep this all in house, trying to walk a fine line of not being a monopoly in terms of squeezing all the other publishers out just because they have a comic book publisher. But I think they're like, let's try this out at Marvel. And if it doesn't work, then when the license expires or when it's time to see if anyone else is willing to pay us for this, that's when they'll go out to Dark Horse again. Like for recently, Dark Horse, probably about two or three years ago, lost the Conan publishing rights, and Marvel picked those up.

And so that's why we have Savage Avengers and Conan running at Marvel. And now I believe that that is ending at Marvel. And so we may see Dark Horse try to reacquire the Conan rights. Well, good, because Conan Comics are supposed to be really bloody. And these Marvel ones aren't very bloody. Yeah. Like, I'm not, look, I'm not Joe violence here or anything. But I just think Conan needs room to breathe.

That's the history of that book. That's what you do. If you're going to make an aliens book, you have xenomorph freaking double teeth ripping through some dude's head. It's how you roll. Yeah. Marvel doesn't want to play that game these days. So let us let somebody else do it.

Image or somebody, whoever, IDW, I don't care. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's kind of sad for IDW because not only did they lose the Marvel superhero. stuff. I think the only stuff that they have right now is their Hasbro license. I mean, they have some of their own original titles, but for the most part, they just have, as far as licensed titles go, their Hasbro line.

So that includes your My Little Pony and your G.I. Joe's and your Transformers, which are kind of their big draws at the moment. Yeah, and they're good. Those Transformer comics are really good. Yeah, definitely. They don't deserve to be as good as they are, but they should do a crossover with the pony one. The ponies and they did. They do. They have one out right now.

Shut up. Shut up. Um, my little pony. What's the heck is the subtitle of it? Yes, there is like a four or six-issue miniseries that is already out. Here's the thing. I don't actually want that. I was hoping you were going to say, oh, they'll never do that. But no, they're doing it.

Remember, everything in the Hasbro universe is now a shared universe. So IDW publishing has been playing up on that going, hey, let's do a Transformers Ghostbusters. Let's do Transformers Back to the Future. Let's do Transformers, G.I. Joe. And now they've gotten down to Transformers, My Little Pony. Wow. All right.

I can't wait to not pick that one up. No, pick it up, Scott. Support the smaller publisher. I'll get all their other ones around it, just not that one. Reminder, San Diego Comic-Con is this weekend. That seems crazy because it used to be July, but now with everything else it's pushed into a weird time, and there's still a ton of tickets available.

It's all happening. Thanksgiving weekend. Yep, Thanksgiving weekend. Here's some of their big names. Now, I'm not going to, I'm not trying to diminish any of their other guests. But Kevin Eastman will be there. Help me. Help me.

Let's run down the list. Let's run down the list. A lot of comic creators. Teeny turtles, Kevin Eastman. Is that right now? Yeah. Let's run down the list. Let's see if there's any big, other big name superstars that people would in.

And so, oh, here's Brett Spiner is going to be there. Brett Spiner, wait, wait, TV, Star Trek's, Brett Spiner? Is that you're saying? Actor, comedian, and singer, best known for playing the Android Lieutenant Commander Data on Star Trek the next generation from 1984. Wow. He'll be complaining about how much other people are charging for their autographs. Yeah, yeah, that'll be that. That'll be good.

So again, that's, if you go and look at the Comic-Con special guest list, that usually it goes on for multiple pages. There's only two pages of special. And don't give me wrong. There are a lot of artists and writers that are going to be there. And if you go and look at their programming schedule, they have a lot of very interesting panels that I would very much like to watch. But I am just not on a Thanksgiving weekend planning to go to San Diego and spend three days in a convention, Friday, Tuesday.

Very odd timing for that. When was it last year? Did they do it at all? They didn't do it at all. They did it? Yeah, they had a virtual convention. Okay, that's what it was. It's a really weird time to have it.

I understand, you know, things get shifted around, but Thanksgiving weekend for what is supposed to be the biggest Comic-Con of the world, and you do it on Thanksgiving weekend. I don't get it. Certainly the biggest comic, one of the biggest comic, I can't even say it's the biggest Comic-Con in the United States because New York Comic-Con, I think, rivals that are comes pretty close. that's true i guess you just think of it as the flagship and yeah yeah yeah and there is a comic convention in japan that is the largest comic book oh well those people what do you expect from those people just kidding that's racist uh let's get into the uh the news that arcane league of legends is getting a second season i couldn't be happier about this um again this is a show where you don't need to have a single drip of knowledge about the league of legends that this is based on the game you'd never

have to play no need to know a thing about those characters ahead of time uh far as I'm concerned, it's a, it's a standalone, amazing piece of work, and I am so excited for season two, because it's freaking rad. Did you end up seeing it all? I still haven't had a chance. I was watching last night in Soho last night, and then I've been watching the Cowboy Bebop on Netflix, so I haven't gotten around to coming back to Arcane, but I will, I will. I think the biggest thing about this announcement is usually Netflix waits a month or two before they make the announcement that we're doing the next season. This one was announced just like a week after the show dropped. And instead of saying we're

getting ready to go into production, they're already in production with all of the original voice actors coming back for season two. Yeah. It's Brian, it's so good. Yeah, it's a just finished, well, caught up with Blade Runner Black Lotus, which is really good. It's not everything really, seriously. Yeah, I like it. You didn't like it? I hated it with a passion. Really? Really? There's only a couple, like three episodes out. You're not liking it?

I watched the first episode and I was like, I think I messaged one of you, too, about this, that if this were the year 2000, this would be mind-blowing animation. Yeah. But it is the year 2021, and the mocap in this sucks. The lip sync sucks. Is it? Oh, see, actually I liked the animation a lot. It's like they went to DAZ 3D and downloaded a random model and said,

let's put this in the show. Oh, interesting. I didn't know it was 3D. I thought it was animation. I thought it was 2D cell style. I didn't know that. No. Okay.

Icore says it's cutscene animation, like video game animation sort of. I mean, I don't even know if I would say it's cutscene animation because I've seen better cutscene animations than what I saw in this show. I feel like I mean,

you guys remember Starship Troopers, the animated series from like 2000? Oh, yeah. I remember it exists. I never saw an episode. This is like that. Really? Okay.

Wow. All right. I'm, look, I'm going to watch it regardless. I want to watch it no matter what. I just started, I just started Hit Monkey, so I'm an episode into that. So as soon as that's over, I switch over to. Well, are you going to have time because Hawkeye drops this week? Oh, yeah.

But we're watching those day and date. Tina's watching that with me. Yeah, Kim and I are Day and Day. Hit Monkey is solo. I watch that alone. Yeah, we're going to definitely do the day and date for Hawkins. I don't know why that one appeals to me more as a day and date than the other stuff on behind on.

Or than Loki and what if. Yeah, it might just be because I think what's her name is amazing and I think she's going to make a great Cape Bishop. Oh, oh, Haley, Stanfield. Steinfield. She, I mean, she left a mark on me with true grit and I just thought she was incredible

on that. And ever since then, she's all growing up now. Well, you are going to want to watch Loki before what the next? The Batman movie or the Thor or Dr. Strange, which one is it? Oh, Spider-Man, you think? Oh, yeah, I guess so, right? Oh, because you got all the people in it.

Oh, I loved how much Benedict Wong was in Shang Chi. I was thrilled with that. I love him. I love Benedict Wong. That guy can do him wrong. He's my favorite. If Dr. Strange died tomorrow, put Benedict Wong in charge. He's great.

Sure, sure. Oh, he was such a great addition to that. Love him. Trevor. You know what? Everyone complained about the Trevor thing? Not me. I thought it was great. I didn't complain about the Trevor thing. I was happy to see you. You and me both, dude. I thought he was great in that. And also, that guy doesn't know how to act badly even when you give him a weird role like this. He's so good. I love him. Anyway, so long story short, Arcane will be after I finish hit monkey. I forgot that was out. That's on Hulu right now, right? That's on Hulu. Yeah. Jason Seneke. and Olivia Munn and I can't remember who else is involved in that.

And remember, kids, it's on Hulu because Disney doesn't want anything that's too risque on their Disney Plus champion. Yeah, and I hear the second half of the season is way better than the first half. Like, it sets it up very like, okay, yeah, blah, blah, blah. Hit Monkey the first half of the season, by the numbers, but the second half apparently is better. Hulu is their, it's their TV modern, modern, modern. modern TV equivalent of Touchstone pitchers in the 80s when they had to put some of the soft. Exactly. Yeah.

I kind of like that that even exists. I think it's great. All right. Well, anyway, Arcane, just could not be a bigger recommendation for me, even though I have not seen the finale, but I'm going to,

that just dropped over the weekend and we just didn't have time. But it's so, so cool. It's so cool. And again, you don't need to know Jack crap about the game. You don't. I'm going to be verifying that because I know,

jack crap about the game. Yeah, and here's the other cool thing, or the other thing, maybe this isn't cool, but it's going to make you mad at Blizzard, not for all their current messes, but it's going to make you mad that they didn't do this either years ago or aren't doing it now. They should be in the forefront of IP-based entertainment in games. The fact that they're not is, I think, a complete lack of vision and a failure of leadership. All apart from all the other issues they're having right now, they should be that we should be watching a live action Warcraft Show and should have been for years. We should be watching animated versions of all, not live action, animation.

They would own it and they just didn't do it quick enough and Riot sneaks in with this. Spend a lot of money to do it, but snuck in with this and is blowing everybody's minds for a game that is, you know, kind of a hardcore niche, niche, niche, niche, niche. Neach, niche. Pop-bye? I think the T's making me hyper. All right. Let's see what else. If you want another League of Legends ride games kind of thing,

if you guys have never played the Mex versus Minions game, that one's a lot of fun. And it's table top. It's got a ton of miniatures. It's got a lot of like programming mechanics that you do in the game. But getting a bunch of people around the table to play League of Legends of Mex versus Minions is a lot of fun. That was like the first time you saw them branching out a little bit

and going from like, we make one video game and that's all there is to, Oh, they're doing a board game. And then, oh, now they're making spin-off games. Now they've got, what, six new, six games plus a fighting game in the works. There's a new term-based RPG that just hit called. I forget. It's a league of, oh, the ruined king, it's called, a League of Legends story. Like, they're going crazy right now.

And they have an MMO in the works that's based on league, which makes me think Arcane is less about League of Legends and more about the upcoming MMO, if anything. I don't know. they got a lot going on riots riot's on fire they got a lot of chinese money and we'll see what they do with it all right i guess that's it hey stephen that was a lot that was a lot of stuff and uh we're grateful that you took some time on your thanksgiving week to hang out well i am thankful for you and brian oh that's a sweet thing we're like for you too yeah hey but here's the thing we don't you know want people to just you know here and then forget

where should they go to get more cool stuff what's going on at major spoilers this week oh this week at major spoilers dot com it's thanks Thanksgiving week. So unlike you guys, we're doing very little. We have only two shows that we're releasing this week. Major Spoilers podcast and the top five podcast. Those will be out Wednesday morning. So the people have

something to do when they're going into their weekend and they're eating all that turkey and hopefully they're staying hydrated. Yeah, they better be doing that at least. Stephen Schlecker, everybody. We'll see you next time. Oh, he hung up before I hang up on him. That's fantastic.

I wonder what Tom thought of our phantom call. He hasn't texted me. Yeah. A little bit of butt dial. I don't know. We'll see if he, uh, wises up to it. All right, we're going to, uh, get jiggie with it and bring in who we do? Oh, Randy. My brain's in four places. All right. Well, it's not typical for a Monday. No. This is a very unusual situation. Yeah. This is throwing me off a little bit, but we're going to make it work and we're going to start with this. That music means one thing and one thing only. It's time for a misplaced, uh, scheduled edition of uh recommendals we usually do these on wednesdays but last week we all know what happened we didn't have it so we wanted to make sure it moved recommendals so welcome to the show of mr randy

And then she left the printer running and it made a boo-boo while she was out of the house. It made spaghetti.

Yeah. Spaghetti boo-boo. It's the worst kind of boo-boo. Anyway, it's really fun to watch her do that stuff. So go check her out. on Twitter. All right. Yes, sir. And I just want to, I just want to respond to J.K. Grammer right in the chat in real time. I don't follow the Houston Texans. That's a weird replacement team that doesn't exist to me. I don't understand. I grew up in Texas, man. I'm a Cowboys fan. Yeah, I was going to say, you always have been true blue Cowboys fan. Everybody, everybody I knew, everybody I ever knew. All family were Cowboys fans. And then there was this tiny little pocket of Houston Oilers fans. and they kind of followed the Oilers a little bit to Tennessee, and that's it.

Like, this replacement team is, it's nothing to anybody that I know. Plus, you're mostly a college football follow guy, right? Correct. Yeah, yeah. Going to college, going to high school in Texas and going to every football game and then going to college and going to a football school, that will, like, put you in a specific mindset that's really hard to get out of the rest of your life. Yeah, no. People don't say clear hearts, full eyes can't lose for no reason. You guys are, you guys are football freaks down there. That's weird. Like I, my, some of my first memories as being like a four-year-old are of being taken to high school football games. Yeah.

Yeah. It's long, uh, long tradition. And, uh, you very, very much. And I'm just, I'm really, really excited about this recommendal because, uh, not because my, my recommendal is an exciting movie. It's not. It's actually kind of depressing. But, um, I'm excited because, uh, I watched it. It's been on my mind a lot.

And then when we didn't do it on Wednesday, there was like somebody in Discord that was like, well, you just tell us what it is because you're never going to do it. Like, no, no, no, we're going to do this. We're going to get back together and do this. Yeah, yeah. I'm glad we did. It worked out of great.

And it is, well, I know, Claire, emotional abuse is still abuse. I just didn't want people to come in thinking that this is, you know, you're going to watch hours of violence. It's a good distinction.

Sure. It's a good distinction. That's a hard watch. This is still a hard watch, but for me, that's even harder, more difficult to watch. Is Andy McDowell the voice I was hearing? No, but Andy McDowell is in this and plays Margaret Qualley's mom because she is. Margaret Qualley's mom. Really?

Yes. I didn't know that. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, no, good. I can see it now. I didn't know that until I was halfway through this thing, because they look a little bit alike, but Margaret Qualley doesn't have an accent like Andy McDowell does, and there's, you know, her last name isn't McDowell, so you know, you wouldn't immediately

think that, oh, I wonder if those two are related. In any case, this is a 10-episode miniseries, and without a doubt, we're going to see uh margaret quali in um when it comes emmy nomination time she's she's excellent in this she was excellent in the leftovers like really really good she was a high point and when she was barely in season two it drove me crazy yeah because she was like such an emotional uh what's the word i'm looking for like an anchor for that for that show she really was yeah she absolutely was so um yeah good question for me is does this movie include acting by a toddler or Is the toddler just like a prop?

Very little. Enough acting that it's believable. Like, if you would have told me that this was Margaret Quali's actual child, I would have believed you because there's realistic interactions between the two of them that I don't feel like you can always get from a toddler, if that makes sense. All right. All right. Yeah, I could see that.

She really looks like she loves the mom in the show, Alex. But I don't know. I don't know. Let's see. Yeah, I can't actually see who. Oh, Rialia Nevea. That sounds like such a 2019 name. It really does. Yeah. I don't know. I couldn't even guess how to pronounce this whole name. But anyway. I have a big, big fan of how my entire cohort for the last 20 years has decided to name babies. Big fan. Anyway, this is streaming on Netflix. It is fantastic. And I recommend. it to everybody.

It is so, so good. And Tina loved it. She's like, you know, I know you probably didn't want to watch this,

Brian, because you thought it was too girly or two, or I guess I'll do her voice. Brian, and I didn't want to

watch me because he was super girly. But I think you really like it. Nice. And so, and Tina was right, I really did like it. Wow.

You've lost none of that since we missed a few shows. Yeah, my back. Because I did it the entire time. I do it to her. That's good. It's fantastic. Anyway, so made on Netflix. Very, very good. Highly recommend. And it's a Netflix original or just happens to be on Netflix? It is a Netflix original, I believe.

Cool. Yes. So. Okay. They make good ones of those. They do a fine job. Yeah. All right. Let's move on to number two from you. What's the setup here? This, I think, is an ongoing series. And there have been so many things. called this that make sure you find the right one. Yeah, I kind of have the same thing. Mine is a common name.

All right, here we go. Let's play this. I don't want to look back in my life 40 or 50 years from now and think to myself. I didn't seize the moment when the moment was right in front of me. So here goes.

I think you're amazing. You have great style. I love the way you shake your head when you laugh. In your theory that 90% of road kill is just animals committing suicide, that's genius. Hey. I love you, Meredith. And these opportunities don't come around very often.

And I swear as hell I'm not going to let this one pass me by. Are you? What do you say? dude this is our first date I have no idea wow that seems great this is a series called cake

not the Heather Graham movie from 2005 not the Jennifer Aniston movie from 2014 not the recent cake movie from 2018 or the cake TV series from 2006 this is a brand new FXX um adult animated slash live action variety show called cake and this is kind of like um liquid television meets love death and robots or love sex and whatever those that was

called um meets meets those saturday night live pre-taped things that are always the best things about saturday night live saturday tv bond house right exactly um um it's it's you know one thing right after another one little uh it's it's described as a psychedelic anthology series adult animation anthology series and that is that is correct it's um quick shorts sometimes live action like that one is from a recurring um thing that you'll see in multiple episodes called oh jerome no and it's my favorite segment that they have on cake uh it follows this guy name, Jerome, who's super sensitive

as he's kind of searching for love and stealing dogs and things like that. There's also another one called Quarter Life Poetry, which is like a high-speed rap thing by this woman. Does it say who she is? Oh, her name is Samantha Jane. So you'd really like this, Randy.

Yeah, all right. She spells it J-A-Y-N-E, but yeah, close enough. She started these on Instagram and then published her short stories as a book, and then became, it became this thing. Anyway, each episode is about 22 minutes, but the great thing about this is, hell, if you've got 10 minutes, watch 10 minutes of cake or watch, you know, 15, 20 minutes of cake or whatever. You don't have to, like, binge the whole series or watch a whole episode even. You can come in and out of it as you've got time.

And, man, some of the animation is so brilliant and clever. it's it's really really good uh it's uh it's not everybody's taste tina's tina's on the fence she likes the segments that i mentioned uh oh jerome no and court of life poetry but then there's some really weird um animation with single-celled animals that that i think are hilarious and she's like i love i love stuff like that sounds like this is made for me super irreverent and um and and and i didn't realize that this thing's around since 2019. It's on Hulu. They picked it up from FXX. And

there are five seasons and about 42 episodes and eight specials. So there's a lot of stuff out there if you like this. Didn't even know it existed. This is the first time I even heard of it. Yeah, me too. I stumbled on it because it was recommended to me on Hulu and I'm like, oh, well, let's see

what this is. I think I saw psychedelic adult animation anthology series and I thought, all right, this sounds great. Let's check it out. I'm glad I did because it's good. Oh, I found out the, so the guy, Mamadou Athi, the guy who plays Jerome and O. Jerome No, was nominated for a primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Actor in a Short-Form Comedy or Drama Series. For this show? Well done for this show.

Okay. Cool. I thought you're going to say he was on one life to live for a couple of seasons. Yeah, I know. For this show. So there's some accolades for that segment, which I think is great. Nice. All right.

A couple of good ones. From Brian. Mine is, boy, we're really going animated today. Mine is very animated. It's the only hint I'll give the audience. You guys know what it is, but here it is. I only came here out of respect from my parents who knew your family. Your father was more than just a friend to my family.

That was a long time ago. Yes. A long time. A long, long time. That is Batman, the long Halloween. Oh, cool. Specifically, part one is where I captured it. I've watched both parts now.

So they had them separated by about six months, so you had to wait for part two to hit. But I'm a particular fan of DC animated films. I think they're all good. I even like the killing joke one that everyone thinks is problematic because of changes they made. This is the one with Dean Winchester is Batman? Yes, Jensen Ackles plays Batman. And I have to say, he was the one I was worried about, maybe not hitting with me or whatever,

because there have been so many great Batman voices over the years, just thinking, well, maybe he's not the best pick. And I'm still a little on the fence with it. He's fine, but he's really doing a voice. And it's hard for me to sort of explain it. But he's like going, listen, I'm Batman for sure. And you can tell because of the way. enunciating my bat words but all of our favorite batmen have been doing a voice right yeah but

we don't they're good at the thing we don't like about keaton is that he didn't do a batman voice he sounded like michael keaton right he was keaton but i'm like in the animated circles like troy or not troy baker troy baker's in this but who am i thinking of um the batman everyone loves uh shit again the guy's name chat room will say it in a second and it'll piss me off that I couldn't think of it. But the guy who's the amazing Batman voice, he did most of the video games. Kevin Conroy, there it is.

Conroy, yeah, right. Kevin Conroy, thank you, TV's Travis. He's considered like the standard, and he's been doing it since the animated series in the early 90s. And I tend to agree. He's amazing. He's the best there is.

But other people step in and do it. Commander Pike from the Trek movies. Oh, geez. Why can't think anyone's name today? Oh, Bruce. Bruce Greenwood. He's an excellent Batman voice and has done a bunch of these as well. So there's a good history of fine actors doing that. I would just argue that Jensen Ackles could do it. He just needs to calm down with the trying to vocalize it so much. And I don't mean he's

down. And he's not always just going, I'm Batman. I don't mean like that. Like it's just him trying to sound more deep and dark than he needs to. And I think he could probably pull it off. who really impressed me here was Josh Duhamel, Duhamel, I have you say his name, plays Harvey Dent, and he's fantastic as Harvey Dent. Very, very good, Harvey Dent. I would also call out Nea Rivera,

who I hadn't heard of before. She plays Catwoman. She's very good here. Troy Baker is the Joker. He's basically, and anyone who plays any video games knows who Troy Baker is, he plays everything. But Troy Baker is basically doing an impression

of Mark Hamill doing, the Joker. And it's okay. In fact, it's really good. It's like a dead on impression of the way Mark Hamill does the Joker because most people think Hamill's the best Joker. I think Troy Baker does a good job of that. I kind of wish it was more him doing what he would want to do rather than just trying to sound like, sound like Hamel, but it's fine in the end. A bunch of the people, Billy Burke is in this, who was in that thing. You watched Brian, funny enough. Really? Plays Commissioner Gordon. He's very good. Once again, David Dalmashchell chain chan or have you say his name.

Dalmatian. Yes. He's Calendar Man. Coconut Man. Yeah. And in this he's Calendar Man, which is great. Like the two weirdest villains ever he gets to play both of them. But he's calendar man and this. And he was just in Dune. Yeah, and he's amazing in Dune. I just watched that again last night. He's incredible in Dune. He's

great. And I just love that he's all over this stuff. I don't know why, what's happening to him. But anyway, Jack Quaid's in it. He plays Alberto Falcone. I think Jack Quaid's greats from the boys. Anyway, a very, very good cat. Titus Wolliver. I forgot to mention that. He's Carmine.

Yeah, he's the Man in Black from Lost. Yeah, he's great. Yeah, Bosch. He's great. Everyone's really great. And it's a very good adaptation of that comic book of that graphic novel, which is one of the best ever written. It's an amazing graphic novel. If you've never read it, you should. That's Parts 1 and 2 of the Long Halloween available on HBO Max.

It's there permanently because it was, I guess, a max original or whatever and uh it's very very good so check it out and if you haven't read the comic i'd absolutely read it it's one of the best things you ever read okay all right brian or brian randy it's now you let me set this up because i think it needs that up it's a it's a long it's a long clip um so this is a this is a modern western it's a it's a film and uh you know there's two kinds of westerns right there's uh there's a gradient and on one end it's man versus man right with gunfight at the okay corral is a is the the one end of the gradient the other end of the gradient is man versus nature and think of like the revenant right

so like this is this is on the revenant side and so there's not a lot of dialogue and so i had to i had to pull from the very beginning of the film and at the very beginning of the film we're in modern times and a woman has experienced something absolutely terrible like the most the biggest tragedy you could experience and she is talking to a therapist and she is about to decide on her own to move out into the mountains of Wyoming and live completely alone and as far away from anybody else as she can go. And so this is the beginning. Again, there's a lot of silences in this clip and that's on purpose.

The silence is setting you up for how the rest of the movie is going to go, which is it's a very quiet movie out in the country. All right. Here we go. I'm going to play it. Edie? Yes. Why did you decide to come here?

Emma, my sister said you were magic. Oh, so you'd like a little magic. So it's really because of your sister? I'm being honest, yes. How are you feeling right now, in general? What are you feeling? I'm feeling that it's really difficult to be around people. Because they just want me to be better.

So you're not able to... share what you're feeling with other people. I did, and then I just realized, why would I want to share it? Why would I want anyone to share in that? They can't anyway. Okay. Tell me more.

I'm intrigued by this discordant sounds of violins. This is land. and it is not the kind of movie that I would usually bring to something like recommendals, but it had just, it stuck with me and it's been on my mind since I've seen it. It was released on HBO Max a couple weeks ago. And what you have is

two brand new movie writers, people who have never gotten an IMDB credit before, managed to get a studio to option their script for this film. And then that studio managed, to get Robin Wright, the Princess Bride, to direct and star in it. And it was, it got a lot of accolades at Con and then didn't. Like, nobody saw it, like, it just sat around. So HBO Max has put it out and there is no way you would have ever come across this film and

watched it. If someone like me didn't come along and say, you should probably watch this. It is, it is a powerful and very difficult movie, again, because it's about a woman. Robin Wright, who leaves the city, sells her home and all her stuff, and goes to absolute BFE, Wyoming, and puts herself in a little cabin on a mountaintop. And what happens from there is not new.

It's definitely not something you've never seen before, but it's just very well told. It's a beautiful movie. And you expect this from new. Westerns, right? You expect spectacular cinematography, and this was really got it. It wasn't filmed in Wyoming. It was filmed in Alberta, but just absolutely a moving movie for me. And like I say, I actually didn't think I was going to be recommending it until it was until like a couple days later. And I'm like, why am I still thinking about land? Robin Wright is great. She's great

and everything. I can't think of a time where I saw Robin Wright, even when she was Robin Wright pen and had his weird influence in her life. Involvent influence. Yeah. I can't remember anything I've ever seen with her that didn't resonate. She's really great. And I don't want to tell you too much more about what happens to her, but like I say, it's, it really gets across the absolute risk, like the massive risk that you would take if you if you sold everything and went out into the middle of nowhere but you know sometimes i guess i guess because this is like the first five minutes a movie if you went out into the middle of nowhere on a mountaintop basically to die like if that was your if that was

really your bottom plan was that you were just going to go die somewhere alone you know hey it's got one of brian's favorite people in it kim dickens we like her i like her a lot yeah what she do she is she the uh uh there she heard her voice her voice voice in there, didn't we? Yeah, I thought we did. Was that she the favorite? No, well, no, that's her. Kim Dickens plays the main character's sister and you almost

don't, you never see her and you almost don't even hear her. There's one little tiny scene where you hear her voice. Again, this is a this is a Robin Wright joint. This is like, uh, the, you know, there are a couple of other people who

she interacts with and they're really good and they're, uh, purported to be Native American, but this is, this is all her. all the time. It's like, it's just, it's just a kind of a little, there's a little bit of a miracle here because I, the entire movie, I just keep thinking, I am going to probably like, just not care about this.

And it just keeps me caring about it all the way to the end. He was, uh, buddy Gary, or sorry, I was just noticing that Brad Leland is in this. He was Buddy Garrity from Friday Night Lights, which you brought up earlier. It's funny. Yeah. I really like that guy. This looks great. I'll watch this.

This seems like a nice quiet, uh, I don't know. I'm getting Nomadland vibes somehow. So, yeah, it's kind of interesting that it came out at the same time, roughly. Yeah. If this had come out a couple months earlier, it would have been Twinsies with Nomad Land. But Nomad Land is about, it's about a character who is finding a new life, right? Who is like, you know, exploring all sorts of different things. And the reason people get attracted to Nomad Land is because those other characters come along and talk to her and you see these grand sceneries.

And then there's a person, right? This land doesn't have that. Again, like you just named someone else. I don't remember that person being in the movie because it's really only her throughout this whole movie. Well, I'm putting this one on my list. This looks like something I would really enjoy. So there you go. Scott, you like that desolation like because you would like to either live.

in a bustling metropolis or in a place like BFE, Wyoming. Those are my two extremes that I would like to do. Give me the biggest building with the big thing at the top of the tallest building in the middle of the busiest city or way out nowhere. And also, I think for a lot of people, Scott and me included, the notion of survivalism, like what that really means? What are your true priorities and basics? What do you spend all your time doing if you're just trying to survive? that's a really interesting way to tell a story yeah and it turns out a lot of that's killing stuff cooking it finding out a way not to die from simple illnesses like it's a whole

different world salmonella is always on the contrary or verge of killing you yeah maybe that's why the nomad land part is coming to me just because it's a similar thing it's like I'm changing my lifestyle completely and now I got to deal with whatever that means and I don't know seems like seems like uh I really like that so I have a feeling I like this uh so there you you go land available now on where where did you see it h HBO max there you go it's a max it was not suggested to me by HBO max it was suggested to me by just watch and i went and found it on i had to search all four letters of the word land to get it on like seriously no one is pushing this movie at you you got to you got to go look it up all right i love the fact that you know

we brought three recommendals four letter words with a as the second letter oh my gosh you noticed is what you did. You know what? Because Brian's a quiz master and everything looks like a quiz construct. Did I say, did I begin that what the funny thing is? No, no. You didn't. I'm really proud of you. I've been listening very carefully. All right. That's great. All right. Well, well, done, everybody. I know I never did an official recommendation of Finch, but I still say people should watch it. We just sort of mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. I really liked that Tom Hanks movie. It was sweet and nice. Oh, it is so good. And that's, and that's also the one that he, got COVID after filming, right?

Oh, he did. Right? He was in Australia. That would make sense. He had finished filming that movie when he got COVID. He was in Australia. Yeah, that's right. It's like the first famous person to get COVID.

I think you're right. Yep. That was a bit of a bummer. I'm glad he's okay, though. But that movie's great. Finch is great. You like robots? I do.

Go watch Finch. All right. Well, well, well done, everybody. Randy will, of course, coagulate these as he does and put them on his Twitter account over there at Randy Deluxe. and who knows we may do more in that way like a little site or something

we've been thinking about some stuff so I'll let you guys know but Randy well done anything you want to mention I guess we're doing we got a film sack watch along this weekend so not a lot to say there we're gonna watch an episode of Deep Space 9
