I'm strictly a milk and fruit juice man myself. A chocolate soda or a lemonade or a big tumbler of cool milk or even just a glass of ice water when you're thirsty. Stop and stop and I'm drooling. Pat, how about some lemonade? Wait, can you use Unreal in pornography? This is the morning stream asking, do dogs have brains? Because I really want to know.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to TMS. It is the morning stream for Monday, December 13th, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson. He's Brian Abbott. Hello. Hey, man. It's good to see you.

We had a weekend where we recorded other things. But even when Monday rolls around, it still feels. like it's a fresh start we're ready to rock you know listen we've had a couple poopy weeks um and by me or we i primarily mean you between back issues and sickness you sound great this morning yeah much feeling a lot better um it's weird though these these antibiotics are kind of messing with me just making me feel kind of just weird like i can't i can't even really explain it and she said this you know sometimes this happens you got a big chemical change man you take these big fat horse pills and your body's like, oh, well, shit, come on in and do your job or whatever.

But the rest of me is like, oh, okay, I can't really, you know, sleep is a little fitful. It's just like a little weird, a little off. But it's fine. And I no longer have a 400-pound nose blockage that's just sitting up there. So that's good. I can breathe. Hear this? Yeah.

That's me breathing. Listen to you. I hear you breathing. Yeah, that's me breathing. It feels good to breathe. It's good to be back. Hey, everybody. hope you had a good weekend and uh we had a lot of snow do you have any snow brian

we had snow on friday came down and uh by saturday it all disappeared it's gone there's no sign of it at all man we were so it's so cold here it stayed where it's it's still like i don't know 15 degrees or something today it was freaking cold yeah no i went to uh the bronco game yesterday and um i could have worn shorts honestly to the game like i could have worn t-shirt and shorts there were people there in t-shirt and shorts it was like oh my gosh mid-sank 60s. So you'd never guess that Friday we had snow, and then yesterday it was just absolutely gorgeous. Tell me about the game. I didn't even see who won. That must be fun going to a big NFL game. Absolutely, yeah. Tina's folks have season tickets. They couldn't go. So as they usually

do, they offer the tickets to us. Tina was up working in at the Georgetown candy company for their Christmas festival, helping them out. Oh, fun. Because she's super nice. And so I brought my buddy Chris Brown, and we had a great time. Went and saw the game, sat up high in our Section 500 seats. Oh, my Lord. We have a beautiful view of the field. We can see everything up close

by looking at the Jumbotron that is actually below eye level from where we're sitting. Wow. Those are nosebleeders, man. They are up there. But the Broncos has one of the longest sellout sellout

records in the NFL at now Empower Field, formerly Mile High Stadium, and season tickets, you know, when somebody leaves, somebody sells their season tickets or gives them up, everybody else kind of moves up. And this is in 30 years, or at least the 30 years I've known Tina's parents, this is how much they've moved up. They've gone from like 20 rows or 30 rows back on the 500 level to eight rows. Wow.

Wow. Well, well done. Time heals all wounds, I guess. It is really, it is a great view of the field. I mean, you see everything that's going on. You don't have to turn your head and crank to see, like, what's going on in one part. You see all of it in one view. And that's, we've got good people around them and that sort of thing. So that's nice. It's really good.

It was quite the sports ball weekend for me. We had our first mammoth game in a year and a half. That's right. Mammoth, hold on. It's not hockey. Yeah, it is hockey. It is not. It's National League lacrosse. Oh, I knew that. La Crosse.

Yes, lacrosse. I think it was a law in there. La Hockey. And that's an indoor. It used to be the Pepsi Center. It's now Ball Arena. What is with you guys and all your changes, man? I know. I know. Well, these companies got to buy their stadiums and put their name on it.

But just really good to be in there. And they are, they are, at Ball Arena, they are not messing around. You have to have a. vaccine card or a negative COVID test proof, you know, sheet of proof in the last 72 hours. Nobody getting in there with, hopefully with, with, with, with COVID. They'll let the, the non-vaxxers in as long as they've got a proof of test thing. Is that how that works? Right. Exactly. Exactly. You don't have to do both.

There is kind of, I mean, I would say that is the crowd, um, that is probably a little more right leading than left. the National League lacrosse. Not that any of this should be drawn on political lines, everybody. No, of course that. No, of course it isn't. But it is. Yet here we are. Okay, somehow it is.

Exactly. So, you know, we weren't sure what we were going to see, you know, how many empty seats there were going to be. Or with some of the people that we've seen there, you know, the whole time for years and years of years and not be there because they're, you know, on the other side of things and kind of anti-mandates and, vaccines and stuff like that. Fortunately, all the people around us were there, like the, you know, the fans that we know sit in the seats around us and they're all really cool. One couple just kind of refused to wear their masks. Like, you're supposed to wear your mask the whole time.

If you're not eating or drinking currently, like it's drink, pull your mask back up. You want another drink, take the mask down, take a drink, put your mask back up. That's what they want in Ballerina. And there was just one couple who was just like, no, we're not even wearing our masks. Oh, I see how that. They are, yeah. Well, look, you've got to have, it takes all kinds, right? It does.

It takes all kinds. But anyway. Takes a village. Broncos won. They won 31 to 10, beat the Detroit Lions. No surprise. They called her a mammoth lost 13 to 4 against the San Diego Seals. Wow.

Lacrosse, not a good day. Got creamed. This was their second game, the first home game, but their season opener, they won against Georgia in Georgia. But boy, they didn't win at home when it counts. When the fans are there, no love at the ball arena. So I have this history and reputation of enjoying football, knowing football, understanding football, having fans or being fans of certain teams, that sort of thing. But I'm terrible at the same time at kind of tracking where things are at until we get to playoffs. Are the Broncos positioned nicely at the moment?

Are they winning games? No. No, we lost our chance for the playoffs two weeks ago. So we've got two more games. We got one this coming weekend and then one at the beginning of January. And that'll be about it. Patriots sitting up there. At least they didn't just like, you know, throw in the towel.

Sounds like they played to win. Well, I guess the lion aren't that great. But still. No, the lions are kind of an easy. They're one in 11 right now. Yeah, the lions. Wow. That's not a good.

Yeah. So, Packers, Cowboys, Patriots, Cardinals, Buccaneers. Buccaneers did really well last night. They unfortunately lost me some money, but they... Oh, no. Yeah. I had my bets going yesterday. Yeah.

Did you break even overall, or did you just how'd you do? No, I came down. I lost more games than I won. over the weekend. They're still tonight. Oh, and I tried a Draft King's promo where bet a dollar on the Packers get 100 if they win.

And so I won last night. And it's 100. And it's 100 I could withdraw. Like, I thought, oh, well, it's 100 that I have to, you know, of their money that I have to play. Sure. But I woke up and I'm like, well, let's see how much of that I can withdraw or if I just have to play those hundred bucks.

No, sure enough, I could withdraw the whole hundred bucks. Oh. With the dollar bet. I would have thought it would have been their, you know, magic coin. Yeah, exactly. Like, nope, you've got a, you can only play that, and you can take home your winnings of your, of playing those, but, um, like tokens in an arcade, you just got to spend them there, you know? Exactly.

That's a Mizzula's company. Oh. Oh, do they, is he, I didn't know he's working for them. That's cool. That's right. Oh, yeah, 11 and one. I'm sorry, uh, Detroit Lions, 11 and one, one tie game. Who is their tie against?

Was it, uh, um, Browns. Uh, yeah, I don't know. Oilers. No, they don't exist. Oh, Steelers, Steelers. Texans. Oh, no, wait. Do I have that wrong?

No. Steelers. Yeah. Stelers. I used to like the Steelers. I said that. I said that a couple of minutes ago. Yeah, you said Steelers.

And now they're all saying Steelers. So everyone say Steelers. Now they're all saying Steelers, yes. Hey, Falcons is fun because Van says Fens when you say falcons. Oh, really? Is that, that's one of his. Yeah. So if you say, say, say Millennium Falcon, and he'll really let it rip.

My favorite. thing is he learned how to say Obi-1 Canobi, but it's really bad. Let me share this with you. Okay. Shortly here. I wasn't planning on this. I'm not sure this will work, but I'll try.

All right. So, oh, gosh, loop back. I don't want to do it thing. Okay, so here we go. We got, oh, good, good, this will work. All right. So we go into the group. We have a family group called Goobers here.

And, oh, my son saw, what's the name of the band? can't think of his name The name of the man What is the name of the man? Not Nickelback My friend Oh, Everclear

Remember Everclear? Oh yeah, I remember Everclear The 50-something-year-old lead singer Did a private acoustic concert for Alex Alex sexist Alex Cox Yeah, see look at you, you know these You know stuff

Yeah That's me who doesn't Well, I know enough to get his name Close but wrong Alex Alex Alex Alexoxixix Aalcoxics. It's a coxics.

One of the frosted tips, dude. That's the one. Father of mine, where did you go? Oh, here it is. Is this the one or is this the up-on one? Hold on. Just say, what the? What the fuck?

Oh, no, it's the wrong one. That's the wrong one. Oh, here it is. Okay. Here it is. It's Obi-1 Kenobi. This is amazing. Who's that?

Obi-1, Kenobi. And he pushes it, obi, obi. And he pushes it out like it's the end-all-be-all word, he has to say. Right, like he's nailed it. Obi-cundle-O-B-O-B! That's great. He's so funny right now. How about frog pants?

Have you gotten to say frog pants yet? No, but he'd probably cuss. Probably a swear. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Because Millennium Falcon is Millennium effing. It's amazing. We've got a quick email I want to read, and then we're going to...

Russell Run. There you go. 12th and parsnics. Going to re-edit that movie to have nothing but after. Yeah. Evil. Sorry, evil as or evil Arizona.

Evia. I don't think there's an L. Evias. Oh, why do I see an L there? It's not. He even put a pronouncer at the bottom. He even puts a pronunciation guide,

Eviaz. He says this. This is the email about seizures of stuff, like custom stuff. We talked about the Canadian border stuff. The bongs, right. I said Canadian. Hold on.

Got to play this. Kane da! All right, here we go. Hey there, search and border. A long time listener and lurker in the chat on Wednesday, you did a quick news segment on U.S. customs and border protection seizing some drug paraphernalia in D.C. I'm a U.S. Customs CBP officer

and was wondering why they seized them if they were just the pipes like Brian had mentioned. These were bongs, so just the bongs, no actual drugs. Right, no drugs in the bongs. Just the bongs. Yeah, bong, bong only. It's starting to sound weird. As long as they are unused, they are not considered paraphernalia as they can be used for tobacco or hell, even the case of somebody felt, sorry, in a case where somebody felt compelled. It only is drug paraphernalia if there's residue that does not have a wayable amount.

We can't seize drugs without a weight and we can't see something as paraphernalia without some traces or residue of the drugs. more than likely the people that were responsible pissed off or sorry that were responsible pissed us off by lying on a manifest and or the cash they failed to declare so we gave them the harshest thing we could who knows anyway take care he makes sense I love when we find somebody who works in the spaces we talk about yeah so he's a customs border officer that's awesome that is cool I want more stories you know he's got him

oh geez yeah yeah what's the what is the large thing that's ever tried to be smuggled in a place where nothing should ever be smuggled. Yeah, nature's pocket. What would, what did somebody's putting there? Your prison purse. Yeah, your prison purse. Who, who? What large, obnoxious thing did someone try to sneak into the border that you could tell us about?

Let us know. Football sized. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Oh, wow. He's in the chat room. Oh, awesome. Football sized.

So it was an actual football? Oh, football. all right i love it though i really do when you guys like um we have doctors who listen in real time so if we say something stupid medically they always correct us jerry tollbert's a good example of that science bobby will always correct us if he's in the chat room and we're we're going to run it off of the mouth about something that's not true yeah by the way he's mr big shot now tomorrow we're gonna have to treat him like he's some kind of lord of running because he uh he did his marathon. He had a big run. Yeah.

The big marathon. The goal happened. He made it. He survived it. He did the whole thing. He said on Facebook he would probably, he doesn't know if he'll do another full marathon again, but he'll definitely do half marathons. And the whole idea was to hit the goal, and he hit the goal, and he thinks he likes running now.

That's good. Well done, Bobby. The science of running. Nicely done. All right. I think it's time. Time for what you say? Well, how about we? bring a friend in. Yeah, I like that.

I like that idea. A guy that we just talked to yesterday. Yeah, he's an old pal. By the way, we did Better Watch Out for Film Sack, which just went up. And I had completely forgotten that Hammond interviewed the director. Oh, really? Because he was on the playlist, yeah. I don't know if Hammond asked him about the doorknobs, but boy, those doorknobs.

Those doorknobs are unforgettable. I need to hear that. I'll go back and listen to that because I really ended up liking that movie a lot. yeah yeah surprise me it's not for everybody okay i'm not down i'm not saying don't watch it with your kids okay don't watch it with your kids even though the the movie poster might look a little innocuous and the features kids don't watch it with your kids no it is not a kid's movie but i'll tell you what is kid friendly this Brian done away is 100% kid friendly and we love having them on the show Brian done away welcome back to the show how the heck of you no pressure oh hi scott and

Brian truth or dare oh truth truth okay is yeah Is it time to play a game? Oh, okay, yeah. The answer is yes. That's the truth. There you go. Truth, yes. Yeah, we gave you the truth.

You picked it right. It's Brian Dunaway, everybody. South Carolina's own, and he's here, like good barbecue to regale us all with entertainment and high taste. I like being compared to good barbecue. Are you guys, you're part of the war, right? The United States, Southern states, all think they have the best barbecue and they all fight with each other. Absolutely. You guys should come down like the Food Network did one.

time. I work like one block over from where they have this huge barbecue festival fair thing that brings in people from all over the country. And I just walk out there and I go, hmm, what's that? Yeah, that's amazing. You can get a, you can get a all barbecue pass. I don't recommend it because you shouldn't. Because that's what's going to happen after you eat all that. At home, you're going to sit down the toilet and have an all barbecue pass. Yes. You pay like $20 and you You can go up to any of the vendors and go, you got your little badge on. You got your little, gimme. So you guys believe in the mustard being the base of the sauce.

There's a lot of different people. Now, I personally, I like the mustard. I do too. Personally. Yeah, I do too. I like it a lot. In fact, I think it is my, you know, various, there's different kinds and, you know, different levels of the musterty part. But, yeah, I never turn that down.

That's available to me. But those guys, isn't not, yeah, Oklahoma. they think they got it down with their what's their thing Kansas City has their thing Texas of course yeah and they don't even recognize the rest of you like tomato based or

yeah I just want it all everything you're saying it sounds great yeah barbecue is this good I mean it's just meat and some kind of some kind of accent I'll take it okay I'll have the all barbecue passed away thank you very much all right every time I think about that all barbecue passed I'm like oh god no

Yeah, it seems to like a lot. Too much pressure. Sounds good, though. Hey, let's get to end the game time here. We're going to try to win some stuff for some people, and Brian Abbott here has got the keys to this car, so why don't you start it? I've got the keys, so let's put it in drive and stab it and steer. Welcome to the morning squirm, a back-and-forth trivia game where our players will match wits on topics

that Guy Fieri would find gross with his barbecue sauce. Scott and Brian will take turns answering multiple-choice trivia questions, and if they get them wrong, well, the other player gets the point. The player with the most points after five questions, wins the problem. prize for their contestant. Speaking of those contestants, we've pulled them from members of the tadpool who aren't able to be here and listen live to the show.

Or are too lazy. I say too lazy. Is that what you say? That could be it. Scott, you're going to be playing for Kathy C. in Las Vegas, Nevada. And Brian, you're going to be playing for Jamie W. In Kirksville, Missouri. Missouri.

Let me know, Jamie, what you think is the best barbecue. Yeah, except it's not here. but okay excellent all right so and the prizes by the way first place is going

yakuza 3 and the search 2 you get dirt 5 yeah those 3 Yeah, those two to go. Okay, okay. Dirt Space 5.

So everything, everything is equal. All right, let's get to your questions here. Scott, I think you, I know, I think Brian one last time. So, Scott, you're going to go first. All right. I'm ready to go first. I really want to know if you, like, keep that, try to just keep in your head. I really don't.

I try to keep in my head, and I really don't spend much time on it. Okay. All right. I'm going to put it in chat. I'm going to put it in our Discord. But Kim Goodman is known for having the world record. for eye popping. She can make her eyes pop an astonishing 0.47 inches,

so almost half an inch out of her head. How did she discover this odd talent that she has? That is great. We just kind of talked about this last week, with all the, you know, the Ripley's Bleed her or not kind of stuff. Oh, we did. Yes. Yeah.

This is the one I always think about. This woman, it's just, it's mind-boggling how she can do it. She was on Letterman a couple of times. His eye-popping is what it is. Yeah. That's where I saw. It is eye-popping. all right how does she discover that she had this talent

Brian no wait Scott is my turn I don't know who's first Scott Scott's going first A did she enter a college talent show B did she get hit in the head with a hockey mask C did she take a dodge ball to the face when she was a young girl Or D did she fall off a stool in her kitchen All of those are so uncommon except for the stool and kitchen Yeah

Because that just happens to people. That happens. Don't sit on the stool in the kitchen. Yeah. She stood on the step that says do not, not to be used as a step. Let me hide. I forgot to hide chat. So it wasn't because she saw a sexy lady like the wolf.

That's not why her eyes. Ooga. Ooga. All right. I'm going to go with D because those other things teams seem too crazy. Sure. Falling off a stool in her kitchen is incorrect. Oh, point.

Damn it. And the option. Entering a college talent show, getting hit in the head with a hockey mask, or taking a dodge ball to the face. You can dodge ball wrench, you can dodge a ball. Dodge ball to the face is a young girl. Wow, I don't know this. I've seen her face before, but I don't, she's never, she's never communicated with me how it happened. But it seems like a dodge ball to the face would be like you, you, you.

pop up and you're like you open your eyes really big to try to kind of you know shake it off and all of a sudden your eyes pop out and then of course the teacher's like oh my god and you know they're calling ems right so I wouldn't say that's the story you say dodgeball it is not it is actually she got hit in the head with a hockey mask that would have been the last one I would have never guessed that one yeah well I wouldn't the reason I didn't think talent shows because she would need to know beforehand that she had the talent yes exactly you wouldn't say well I sure hope I discover what my talent is when I'm up on stage.

Unless she had some other talent. Maybe her other talent was like flaring her nostrils or, you know, I don't know, what else? And then suddenly her eyes popped. But still, that seemed really unlikely. I would so, I look at those photos and I just would so be afraid of my eyes not going back in. Yeah, yeah. You know? It's actually pretty, it's not real common, but it's pretty common.

She's not like the only person with the eye pops. I've seen a few like that, but I'd like to see you try it done away. Let's see you try it. Can you do it? Oh, I can make my eyes really big, but then. I get scared. So then I'm like, what if they do pop out like that? It freaked me the crap out. I'd be like, am I in Beetlejuice? I'm out of here. Yeah. They're the only eyes you've got, and there is no Peter Stormair in a rainy town in that movie you hate that can put new eyes in.

Yeah. Well, yeah. The water. Speaking of which, hey, let's hope there's never a catastrophic water drought. A, human body can only last this long without it. A, is it two months? B, three weeks. C, 49 hours, or D, no longer than a week. This is making me thirsty, so hold on a second. I guess seven days. Two months, three weeks, 49 hours, seven days. This question is making me thirst.

Everybody hydrate. This is a good Stephen Schleiker question. Right. That's right. Everybody hydrate. Use your channel points to make us hydrate. There you go. Okay, so 49 hours, it just seems, you know,

because you hear people out on the ocean, you know, just trying to survive. You know, it's got to be longer than that. So I would say a week and you'd probably start a good chance. You're not going to make it. Okay. All right. You're saying a week, seven days. Is the correct answer?

Yes, it is. I figured that was you saying is the correct answer. Oh, no, I was asking the question that you answer. I was saying, is the correct answer a week? That makes sense. I went almost, I think, 48 once without water. Oh, really? Why would you do that? I was really sick on a river trip when I was a kid.

Puky? Yeah, and I was really young. I don't know what happened. We ever, but a whole bunch of us got sick. And we went down this river trip, and I just couldn't keep anything down water or otherwise. I probably retained a little water because I don't know, you know. You drink water. If you york it up, you still keep some, I guess.

I don't know. But, yeah. I don't know how water works. I don't know. But that would suck. You can go a lot longer without food, though. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

longer months right i don't know months yeah we think we as humans would be a little better about making sure our watersheds are all good for the next right right you would think as individual as we would know because we can't even make it i can't even make it three hours before i'm like i'm starving yeah

yeah i'd be able to and say well how long do you think you can live under a shoe i don't know let's just know for it exactly all right my turn to turn this around scott's turn turn it around man yeah uh good luck not feeling a millipede as it moves across your ankle. The largest number of legs

ever found on a millipede is Is it 750, 100, 1,200, or 1,300. Legs on a millipede. So granular with the 1,000s. Yeah. Well, I was leaning toward the 7-somethings, but now I'm feeling like I need to be higher. So I'm going to say $1,200.

$1,200, is the correct answer, $1,000, question mark? It is not. Brian gets the point. And your other choice is $750,000,000, or $1,300. I'm with Scott. All those thousands are distracting me. It's got to be in the thousands, right? There's no way that it was exactly a thousand.

You're excited the person to be if they were counting those legs? A thousand, exactly? Yeah. that one entomologist yeah that guy's losing his mind he had the best day of his career that day right so 13 I want to know first is there any clue on this uh in this question whether it was kind of like you know like guessing the number of uh jelly beans in a jar or was they actually took a little pencil and one two oh he moved one even all these numbers feel like wow it's weird that's so rounded right right exactly it makes sense it makes sense this even

But even numbers. Right, yes. But, yeah, okay, $1,300. I'm going on $13. $1,300 is incorrect. The actual answer is, all those, all those, yeah, thousands did distract me. $750, Scott. Your initial instinct would have been.

God, damn it. Got us, got us, got us. 750 legs. Well, I still lost the point, but, yeah. Yeah. All right, Brian, next time you go swimming, make sure to not get any water in your mouth. What percentage of adults admit to peeing in a public swimming pool?

Oh, thank God. It's not a fecal. matter. Go ahead. Oh, yeah. Because this is so much better. Is it 40%, 20%, 28%, 15% or 11% admit to peeing in a public swimming pool?

I feel like I feel like that's going to be high. I don't think, I think that's pretty I was hoping you'd say, I feel like I pee every time I go to the pool. That's what I was hoping. I feel like, yeah, I feel like people are pretty ready to answer that with a you know yeah i do that so what was it was a 40% you said 40% is the highest number on the list i'm going 40% of those people are willing to admit they've peed in the pool 40% is exactly right good job what jeez i'm shocked by that because what

that tells me is that way more do and don't admit it exactly a hundred percent of people actually I've never peed in a pool. Does that make me weird? That makes me good. That does make you weird. That is weird. I've never peed in a pool. Well, as an adult, back to the question, adult to admit, I have never peed the pool as an adult. When I was a kid, I remember peeing big time in the pool. That's the reason why you, that's true. Yeah. That's the reason why I lied to the kids and tell them there's a special dye in the pool that'll turn it blue if they pee. Yeah, that was a, that was a big of one growing up. Also, somebody told me that if you, oh, what was it? brother somebody said if you peed in the pool there some alarm was going to go off and it would know it would know it was you who peed yeah we got up here over here i pee in the pool all the time sometimes i didn't even get in the pool i just stand on the side and pee in it yes yes everybody make sure to go to the mGM float around pool that's right exactly and they just wait for some bros to swim by and like oh peeing in the pool yeah don't mind me all right scott

Final question here. Let's see if you can get one of these. That'd be great. In which activity do you have the greatest chance of dying? So which of these four activities is your chance of dying the highest? A, is it a triathlon? B, is it what Bobby Frankenberger just did, running a marathon? C, is it driving 100 miles in a car, or D, flying 1,000 miles in a commercial airplane in the U.S.?

Wow. Oh, that's got to be... This is going to freak me out no matter what you say. It's got to be, by the numbers and averages, it's got to be that 100-mile drive. Like, car accidents way outweigh anything that you do in the air. And a thousand miles is nothing in an airplane. Okay. And I'm trying to think, and the other two are running and athletic problems,

and it feels like those people have to be ready for that. So you're going to have an occasional death there. You know what? It's got to be the car. Got to be. Okay. All right. Going with driving 100 miles in a car.

is incorrect. Damn it. Clean and sweet for Brian today. And I think the trick there is it's a percentage question. So I don't think it's like, it's like they're not compared to one of each other. They're not saying how many people.

Yeah, with inside the event. And so I'm going to say a lot of... Uh-oh. In which activity does your internet have the greatest chance of dying? Hello, Donneway, you there? still? Are you there? Are you guys there? Yeah, you're here. We're here now. All right. So you're about to say. You did one of those where you went,

and your voice went like way off into nowhere. That's what I do. I was going to say, I was stalling for time. I was going to say, I think marathon, because I think a lot of people get into the idea of running a marathon and they're not totally prepared, whereas the other ones, I think you're right. They have to be highly trained. But this is a regular old marathon? Yeah. All right. Is it running a marathon? It is not. It's actually the triathlon. Or triathlon, there's no extra AIMA. They have to say, try.

Yeah, well, do they say in which of the three events they get died in the most? Oh, I'm looking it up. I'm curious. Because there's the bike. I would think the drowning probably. I wouldn't think. The swimming portion. Right.

It is. Wow. Yeah, most deaths in triathlons come during the swimming portion. They found a total of 135 sudden deaths, resuscitated cardiac arrest and trauma-related deaths. Damn. So it should be T-R-Y-A-thelon instead of. That's right. Plus, like, a plane could come out of the sky and kill you in a triathlon and a car could drive into the triathlon.

So it adds to the other two. You can't triathlons aren't going to kill people up in the air. Right. Wow. All right. Well, remind me to never do a triathlon. Hey, all right. Well done.

That means I lost. Well done. Scott. You're a dummy. That's okay, but we've got a winner. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Oh, actually, they're both winners, if you ask me. Yeah.

With all three of these games, good Lord. So, congratulations going to Jamie W. Jamie W. in Kirksville, Missouri, you're getting a copy of Yakuza 3 and the Surge, too. But, Kathy C. in Las Vegas, you're not going to way empty-handed. You're going to get something that's very prevalent in Las Vegas. Dirt 5. Yeah, Dirt 5. One of my favorite rally games of recent years, I really enjoy it.

Yeah, like... Redro. Hey, Scoop. What's your favorite video game genre? Retro. Redro. Redro. That's good.

All right. Hey, we'll have a good one. And suck our best. We'll see you later. No, you. Bye. Oh, that lady in her eyes. I know.

It's so disturbing. Here, chat, in case you missed it. It's so weird, and she has such pretty normal eyes when they're not all poking out. Yeah, totally, yeah. I mean, it seriously looks like she's got a ping pong ball cut in half with irises painted on it that she's putting over her eyes and squinting them down to hold them in place. I assume she kind of made a little bit of a career out of that, right? She did. I remember her being on

Like you said, David Letterman She was on all the talk shows And it was the David Ledman one I think I just remember He would say something shocking to her And she would pop her eyes out As part of the bit Right or was her original

Her original thing may have been A stupid human trick And then Oh, it might have been Yeah But then later she'd come back For other stuff And I remember thinking

Well that's unusual For a stupid human trick To get like return visits To the same show You know Yeah Yeah But yeah

And someone says It's an actual What's it called? Optic Encephalitis, says AB Tech John. It's an actual condition. I mean, is it bad for her? And if it is, great, because then you used the weakness and made it of your strength. It's a nice job. Yeah, I'll bet it's not because if she, some doctor would have reached out there and say,

you really need to stop doing that or else you're going to go blind. Right. Right. Or they're going to come out and never go back in or something. And never go back in or something. Nobody, ain't nobody want that. Ugh. I don't want that.

No. Nobody wants any of that. I don't want any part of that. No. All right. Well, there you have it. Thank you for that. It's now time for us to partake in the news.

It's the news and it's brought to you by. By Neil Patel. Headphones Neal does or dot reviews. Let's try that again. Headphones, neal. com. Podcasts, Headphones Neal Reviews, where, usually in 20 minutes or less, I added to you in there, because he added it in there. I review films, TV shows, and games that I play on Android. Gameplay videos and Android app reviews are on YouTube at YouTube.com slash Patel N01.

Check out Headphones, Neal. Dot reviews. I didn't know there was a dot reviews domain until he sent that. I didn't either. That's crazy. That's crazy. Very cool, Neil. It's craye. May check it out. All right, here's a story that's a bit of a holdover from last. last week. I wanted to make sure we hit it, because I just think it's very odd. So we all know about this, I don't know how to say her name right, Gisillane Maxwell.

Gillane, Gailene, yes. It's not Gis, Gis lane is great. I think we should start calling her Gislane. Yeah, I think Gis Lane might be the appropriate deal. Anyway, that lady who helped Jeffrey Epstein groom in traffic and be horrible and she's on trial right now. She's, uh, she did this weird thing every okay so every courtroom that doesn't allow cameras they always have a courtroom artist in there this is normal been that way for probably a hundred years i don't know how long we've been doing court i don't know i don't know and uh she did something real weird uh she stared directly at her court sketch artist and drew them right back at them so stood had a pen pencil or pen and a pad there and just stared at the artist and sketched them while they while that person sketched her it's really

weird. Yeah. It's not just like, like, you're going to draw me? Well, I'm going to draw you. Like, it's a, I don't even know how to describe how it makes me feel. It makes me, and she brought out a typewriter and started typing back at the court reporter. Oh, you're going to type everything I say? Well, I'm going to type everything you say. It makes me think this Jislane lady is 100% guilty. And I already thought that anyway, but it doesn't help her case to be drawn people. No, not at all. Anyway, a court illustration of Jislane. I can't say it right.

Whatever it is. Grislane Maxwell staring directly at her court sketch artist and drawing her back has gone viral. The courtroom sketch was drawn on November 1st during a pretrial hearing in New York City ahead of the jury selection by artist Jane Rosenberg who is currently

covering the sex abuse trial of Maxwell. Maxwell, the Jeffrey Epstein associate accused of sex trafficking, making a sketch of court artists while seated between defense attorney Bobby Sternheim and Jeffrey Pagaloo Paglucy, Pagluka. Pagliuca. Pagliuka.

Is that sound right? I'm busy. I'm looking at her drawing, which is, which starts to get really meta. So the court artist draws her. Yeah. She draws the court artist back. And then the court artist draws her drawing the court artist. So does then she update her drawing.

to have the drawing of Kim in her drawing? Right, right. And in that drawing, like, did it was a... How deep, how deep could this rabbit hole go? Did the courtroom artist get at all, like, do you have to be accurate as to what you can see their drawing? Or did you flub it a little to make it look bad? Right. Yes, yeah.

It's such an odd thing. Oh, it just... Oh, no, I did click that. uh yeah that's the same that's the same one that cat and kipper just uh drew it gives me the creeps i don't like it yeah it is really creepy and shouldn't she be paying attention it is her trial i would think so maybe she shouldn't be doodling yeah my guess is she's not feeling all that much remorse for her hideous behavior in life no my guess is she was totally cool in trapping these women and doing shitty things i think she's probably down with it um anyway let's see uh there's a bunch of

Twitter quotes. Who cares about that? Courtroom sketch artist, with more than four decades, by the way, the industry told the Western General that this isn't the first time that she's been drawn in the courtroom. She says, oddly, it happened the last time I sketched Lev Parnas, the co-defendant was sketching me. She said in an email to the Western Journal, referring to the Ukrainian-American businessman who was convicted on charges related to violating campaign finance laws. This is the one that used to hang out with Giuliani all the time. Oh, right, okay. Um, and I guess he did that, but, you know, power, people in power, you're, you're all left up. Yeah. When they get zero Fs, they'll just draw the court artist. Yeah. Because what are they,

you know, what are they going to do? It's the most Karen ass, Karen ass bullshit I've ever heard of. You know what I mean? It's like walking into a store. Yeah. I hate it. I hate it. It's bad human behavior. Your child, knock it off. Go, go to jail. That's where she'll go. She'll go to jail. She better go to jail, dude. Yeah. There's way too much evidence not to send her. Oh, I know. Yeah.

Photographs and all the reports and stuff. Let's hope. I mean, geez. It's bad. All right. This is hilarious to me. And also scary, and I hate this about our modern society. That's next thing.

Peloton. They're the, you know, the running treadmill screen on a guy going, all right, you can do it. Deal. Treadmill and bicycle. Start out with bicycles. Sure. And built out from there. They've kind of become the du jour of that workout.

Right. Well, their stock dropped by, let's see, how much, a 19-month low. Just after the end, just like that, which is the new Sex and the City thing. I don't know why they call it, and just like that. Because every episode, Carrie, and in the show, Carrie used to say, and just like that. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, I never really watched the show. yeah and just like that a horse walked down main street so it's the so it's the sex in the city

it's the sex in the city people they had a a character i guess died well here i'll read it yes yeah shares in peloton the fitness equipment company fell 11.3% Thursday tumbling to a 19 month low after a key character on hbo max's sex in the city revival and just like that it's called was shown dying of a heart attack after a 45 minute workout power workout on the company these exercise bikes. Now, we know it is in Kim Cottrell, because she wasn't even invited to be part of this reunion show. Unless, like, they had a, uh, uh, uh, they showed her from the back, like having a, uh, workout. And they're like, uh, that's how they wrote her out of the story.

Now, I know people are probably a bunch of you are into this thing. And so I'm not going to name names about who it was. But I know, I know who it is just from seeing. I didn't see this, the show, but I saw a clip of the Peloton ad. Mm-hmm. And, and so I know who, who, who it is. So I won't give it away, but I will say this. It's a scripted television show with fake people in it.

How does this sort of thing affect stock prices? Is it because the general public is so stupid that Peloton as a company, or sorry, shareholders and Peloton have to go, well, the American people are so dumb. They're going to see this as a negative. and the negativity is going to affect the stock poorly, therefore the stock goes down. That sucks. If that's true, and I'm sure that's how it works, we are effed. What is wrong with us?

That a fake thing like that can affect actual stock. Oh, no, somebody can die in one of us? I'm pulling my stocks. That's so stupid. I'm going to go put it in Nordic track. I mean, that's basically it, right? Because we're all so freaking dumb. That's right.

That's right. Don't worry. We're not going to say who the character is. Yeah, we're not going to get into that. We're not going to get into that. No. No. It would be a big, a big, big, big mistake to do that, you know, because I'm sure some people... Yeah, not, especially right here during Christmas. Christmas time, you know, we don't want to... We're not going to do it. All right, moving on. Just like that.

I'd be curious about what our overlap, with the Venn diagram of TMS listeners and Sex and the City fans. How tiny or how big is that overlap? I love it. And really anybody who's that big a fan has watched it because it's been out. Oh, yeah, you'd be super all ahead of this anyway. Like, you know, if there was somebody who really was a genuine fan of comic books, they'd be seeing Spider-Man this week. Because, you know, whatever, nothing would get in their way. They're a comic book fan.

They would be seeing Spider-Man this week. Yeah, exactly. And if not, then you're either just an average person who doesn't deserve the spoiler protection. But, you know, look, be Mr. Big about this issue. And. All right. It's really the only, like, I could even, you can't even, like, work any other things about this person or character in there

because it's, I don't know anything else. that's too good also if in case anyone is actually like legitimately upset about these hints uh brian was the first one to do it so just go ahead and you know let him totally was yeah okay because usually it's me i just want to clear clear the air that's not me this time that's right nope by the way it was charlotte let's move on to the next story i was charlotte yeah i don't even know who that is which one is that is that one of the ladies charlotte's the brunette that was on melrose place that actress oh i like her actually yeah i do too uh i also like the other one.

The Redhead? Miranda. Miranda. I think she's interesting in other things. And what's her name's fine? In politics. Yeah. In politics.

Oh, chap. Well, yeah, but chat spoiled it, but we had a whole podcast here, Tom. There's like 99% of you haven't heard us spoil it yet. So Brian's all I'm saying. Oh, there you go. Oh, cool. Yeah. There we go.

There we go. A.V. Tech Johns put up a poll. So go vote in there. Do you watch Sex in the City? His poll just says, sex in the frog pants. city? Yeah, there you go. Sounds like he's propositioning us all.

Yeah, yeah. But I'd be curious about the results. I think I've maybe seen a episode and then that's it. I don't know anything else. And I know who's in it, but that's it. Yeah, T and I used to watch the original show. I never saw any of the movies or anything like that. Yeah.

I'm sure it's fine for people who love that. Great. That's great. Yeah. Yeah, I got stuff I watched over and over that nobody else cares about. But I get it. Anyway, so the stock is down on that. It's real dumb.

Super dumb. Kim Cottrell used to get all kinds of naked on that show. Yeah, she did. And she's the only one that's won, or no, maybe, maybe did multiple, multiple actors on that show won Emmys, but I know she won two or something. So she was well thought of on there. I don't know. Well, well appreciated by critics, maybe not well loved by the rest of the cast. Yeah.

She made that book where her husband called Hadda. It was a sex book, right? Yeah. The Lady Orgasm and How to Find It or something like that. Yeah. Let's see. 54 nominations, seven Emmys. Sarah Jessica Parker won for lead actress.

Kim Cottrell Supporting Actress nomination, but not a win. Kristen Davis, that's Charlotte. Another outstanding supporting actress. Let's see. Oh, so Cynthia Nixon won supporting actress the same year that all four of them were nominated and Sarah Jessica Parker won lead and

Cynthia Nixon one supporting. And that's just in 2004, so I mean, geez. Okay. Yeah, there's a lot of, well, I don't even want to go through this whole list. Well, she's also, Kim Control is the only Star Trek connection, right? She was on Star Trek 4, 5, 6? Yes, is the new

Klingon, right? Or not Klingon, no, Vulcan. Vulcan, yeah. She kind of was like replacement. Oh, she was evil she turned out to be evil in that motion picture or no no motion picture um six undiscovered country undiscovered country that's right christie alley was in one of those early ones yeah she was in uh two two right uh she was the cobiashi maru test she was part of that oh that's right christie alley was yeah but then the vulcan yeah the vulcan uh thing at the end of six she was she was like part of the conspiracy and she got in trouble kim control then just like that

Yeah, her best work was over. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, our good pal, Mr. Stephen Schleiker, will be here to join us, to talk, to hang out, and discuss things, all things, major spoilers. But we won't really spoil anything, everybody. You'll be fine. It's a big weekend.

So we've got Spider-Man coming up. What does Stephen think? What's our predictions? Everyone's going but me? Well, we'll find out in a minute. But first, Brian, got to play this song. Not everyone's going, but you. Oh, all right.

You're not going. I thought you had a tickets. I'm going, but Stephen isn't going. You're not going. Oh, Stephen's not right. Yeah, there's a lot of people who aren't who aren't ready for theaters yet, and that's totally fine. Yeah, totally fine.

All right, well, tell me a totally fine song. Give me a good one. Yeah, let's give you a good and new middle song here. These guys, who was I thinking of, a little bit of the church, 80s band The Church, Echo on the Bunny Men a little bit. This is a band called the Cribs. Gary Jarman and his brother, Ryan Jarman, on bass and bass guitar, regular guitar, and vocals.

And then Ross Jarman on drums. They should have called them the Jarman's, but it's three brothers. This is the fourth installment of their Sonic Blue Singles Club titled Things Could Be Better. Their eighth album was released last year, and they keep giving us great singles as part of this singles club thing. This is awesome. You're going to love this, especially if you like that kind of 80s vibe, like I mentioned. Here is, Things Could Be Better by The Cribs. The last cigarette and the blazing heat, the perfume of trashed at some lower reeds. If you crossed my mind,

perhaps things would be better than we could imagine. A cup without blood Left me free Like yesterday's stale It's right from the bakery And all of the time It was on my mind

Perhaps Things could be better that we could imagine It's a end To have the end of the world the walls was all the same to me the only place. It's all the same to me. The only place where the planet is in

for a few hours sleep is the longest space and all of this time my mind was on fire. I'm fine, think of the hearts. Things could be better than we could imagine. Things could be better than we could imagine. Things could be better than we could imagine. Trying to survive till when you take place. Our subject for today is personality,

specifically your personality, and even more specifically, your sales personality. I haven't voted yet. Mayor GERD. This is the morning stream. So would that make them, if they ever had a video on MTV, they'd be the MTV Cribs, and they'd have to... Oh, they would. They'd be the MTV Cribs.

Oh, that's rough. Well done. Tell me that song one more time. Yeah, that is, things could be better by the Cribs. Nice. I have to say lately, I go back and, you know, make sure I hear the music. Yeah. You've had killer stuff lately.

Really good. Oh, you're going to like, yeah, you're going to like this one. You're going to like the one for tomorrow, the rum jacks. Some great stuff coming up this week for music. I'm just bummed that the three people in our chat room can't hear them. They can't hear the songs. Yeah, it's a bummer, right? Well, you three get out there and make some noise.

All right, let's get Stephen in it. Yeah. Because when he's in it, well, we all win it. So here's this. Stephen. Schleiker, Stephen Schlecker. Hey, look who it is. It's Steven Schleiker from Hayes, Kansas, and the home of major spoilers.com.

One of my favorite pop culture websites in the world. Hello, Stephen. Welcome back. Hello, Scott. Hello. Brian. Hello. It's nice to have you here. I hope you're well. Oh, thank you. Yeah. You're hanging in there, Christmas and all that and all that stuff. It's finals week. So, yeah. I've got a lot of greeting to do. A lot of hearts to break. Yeah. A lot of realities to shatter. The red pen is in full force right now.

How many? Are you worried? you what's your percentage of like am i worried about finals week no i'm not worried at all those students that's right but like does it you feel ever feel like man if i fail 13% of these guys this the administration's going to think it's me you ever worry about that you know what i mean uh no because i grade fairly and so i don't i don't give the grades the students are in the grades so if the students i mean there's a whole discussion to be had on participation and paying attention and dedication to your course work which directly impacts your grade

as opposed to just showing up to class means I'd get an A and so that's you know Do they call you Mr. Mr. S or the full Schlecker? No. No. Mr. S? Hey, Mr. S. I got a question. All right. Well, these are good things that we've

never asked you before and I'm glad we did. For sure. Yeah. No, no. Students totally earn their own grades. Oh, good. Is that how that works? It's not what you grade on a curve? How's that go? No, I actually don't grade on a curve. curve. I'm somebody that really does not believe in grade inflation, which is something that starts at the grade school level and has continued all the way up to the university level. And so I hate people that are just like, well, everybody got to have got a B. So I'll just

go ahead and give everyone an A or they were three points away from getting an A. So I'll just give them an A. No, you got to B. I agree. I'm agree with this. I'm going to put my foot down with you. I think grade inflation slash grading on a curve is Eft. It's FED. And honestly, a C is not a failing grade. So many students, when they get a C on a project, are like, oh, I failed. It's like, no, if you got a U or an F, then you would have failed. A C is an average grade. What's a U? What's a U?

Unacceptable. Oh, unacceptable. Holy shit, I don't think I ever got a U on anything. I don't think. Boy, it's really bad when you get an FU. No, those are the grades that I get from the students. I like that it stands, that would also

stand for, failed unacceptably. that's unbelievable all right well it's good to have you here uh we're going to chat about a couple of things here for example a lot of people were real excited about this in the lead-up and then it happened and then i heard nothing but me i'm off whatever don't care cowboy bebop live action canceled done i actually enjoyed it for what it was um i don't know i don't know if i mean if you just take it by itself it isn't outstanding it isn't fantastic but i think there were a lot of people, a lot of viewers who were a hard on it because it wasn't

a direct adaptation of the anime series. And that's the part I don't understand because why would you want to see a direct adaptation of something else in another form? That just seems like redundant and a waste of money. It's like remakes. Like West Side Story. Everyone's...

Yeah, it's like a West Side Story remake. People are like oh, it's only going to make $10 million. Well, duh, there's the original is probably so much better than this one. Yeah. Or it's like a cover even. Like, you know, if you're going to sound just like the original, why bother doing it? I heard pretty good things about that new deal. Cowboy Bebop?

No, the West Side Story. I heard it was good. Oh, the West Side Story, yeah. Yeah, let me see if I can find it here. Can't find it. Yeah, so... That's going to be on HBO Max. It's day and day, right?

West Side Story is? I believe it is. I think that was already in theaters. Or is it already out in theater? Okay, so it's not one of the universal deals. It's 93% of Rotten Tomatoes, 95% on... I mean, that thing's probably Oscar bait from here to Heaven and High I agree with you. I agree with you. I agree with you. But if you're going, I think we have the added

wrinkle of, okay, our source material is animated. It's beloved. Right. And what are you going to do with it? Well, personally, I would like to see something slightly new because again, what's the point of just a retread? It already exists in whatever form it exists. So do something a little bit new and different. But it is risky because the fan base, they think they want adherence to the original until they get it. And then they're mad because it's too much like the original. I'll just go watch the original like there's no winning in this i don't think right right right yeah in this case i don't think that there's any winning just like with the upcoming well we saw it already with um the last avatar movie but i think the the next one that is it Netflix that's doing the

tv series people are going to be just putting too much pressure on that live action adaptation and it's just never going to meet up never going to meet the expectations of the audience and so here's the thing anytime you're a fan of something and you hear that there's a new something coming out go in with zero expectations, because if you're like, eh, this is probably going to be okay, then if it's better than that low bar you've set, hey, it's great. And if it doesn't, then you're like, well, I thought so. And no one's going to hold that against you. I don't know.

I think there was maybe too much harsh criticism given on the show, mainly because of the anime background and the connection that people have of it. And hey, I'm a big Cowboy Bebock anime fan. I found the original DVDs probably the month that they came out and burned through all of them back in the day and love it. I've got original cells from the TV series here in my office, and it's good stuff. And I thought that the live action series was fine. It was good.

It ended in a way that had they not put on the little stinger with Ed at the end, it was a standalone done in one series to begin with. But now they got some expectations, and so someone's going to be sad that that got canceled. Like you, you kind of wanted to see a follow up, right? I mean, you like that. I would have liked to have seen how they would have gotten the crew back together in the part that Ed would have played in the series. But, you know, I'll be honest. I haven't watched the second season of Locking Key. And I love Locking Key, the comic book.

Yeah. But the second season of Locking Key, I watched one episode. I was like, nah, I'm out. Really? And I'm okay with that. Yeah. I'm okay with me. You know, if you fall off something, that's fine.

Yeah. Like, for whatever reason, I couldn't even start Loki and I'm still going to, but I couldn't do it. I don't know why. I just couldn't do it. My brain was just like, no, you don't want to do that right now, do something. mouse. That's what I would always do when Loki would come up. Well, so on my calendar, I have open right here. It says January 22nd,

2022. I'm supposed to ask the question, did Scott watch Loki yet? Well, I still got time. Why that date? Why that date? Well, I don't know. It was the last time we brought this up and I was like, I'm going to mark in the calendar whether Scott has watched this. And one of you two said, I will have watched it

by January 22nd, 2020. I'm sure it was God. Okay, I'm going to mark it on my calendar. I definitely wasn't me. I was watching day and date. I'm curious if Scott's all caught up on hot guy. I am except for Wednesdays. Kim and I are watching that tonight. That's a very good episode. It is, and Scott's going to like it even more.

Oh, am I? Oh, am I? Hmm. Let me see you infer what that might mean. I'm not going to tell you whether you're right or wrong, so guess all you want. Okay. Old man Steve Rogers shows up with a shield. Ah, damn it. I knew it. It's the return of crossbones. Speaking of comics and sad news, George Perez is suffering with some stage four

stage three stage three pancreatic cancer right yeah yeah that's awful yeah it is really awful cancer sucks we should be you know doing everything we can as a

you know wealthy society to do everything we can to pour it into cancer research and other other research for illnesses that take people too early but we don't anyway yes

George Perez went to his Facebook page last week or week and a half ago and said that he has received the news that he has stage three pancreatic cancer, it is inoperable and they expect that within the next six months to a year that he will pass away.

He's one of the greatest I mean he'll go down as one of the most important artists in the history of comics, period. He's one of those guys. His run on the new Teen Titans is my favorite of his works. So good. So good.

And then, of course, he did all the stuff with Crisis on Infinite Earths and all of that. Yeah, and that big poster, combined poster thing with all those characters going head to head. It basically inspired a new way to draw comics for, I mean, now you see rip-offs for that idea constantly. And it's all because of George Perez. That dude is amazing. And also, I hear he was nothing but amazing at cons, like one of the nicest, most fan-friendly, stoked about what you were stoked about kind of guys. it just freaking sucks

yeah now it wasn't just a few years ago he had said that he had had gone blind in one eye or he had lost the use of one of his eyes so he knew that he wasn't in the greatest to shape so yeah this is this is sad news I think for all comic book fans

but you know one of the nice things is there are so many things that you can do you can go and contribute some money to a cancer research a pancreatic cancer research if you like you can go out and let let him know how much you appreciate how much he's done to the industry over these last, you know, the 75 years. You can do so much now while he's still alive as opposed to treating him like he's already dead.

Yeah, that's what I see a lot of people kind of already doing. Oh, George Perez was the greatest. Well, he's still the greatest. Yeah, he's still there. He's still with us guys. All right. Well, on to brighter news, I suppose. And hopefully this means it's going to be good.

But Spider-Man, this weekend. Brian's going. Yeah. That's right. It's good for you. I keep hearing spoilers, though. I hear Doc Doc dies in a Bowflex. Oh, no, Boflex stock just went down because you're saying that.

I just brought down Boflex stock. No, you know what? Actually, the current rumor is, I think there's the 5% chance of this happening is the Charlie Cox making an appearance as Daredevil. Yeah, I had heard that rumor too that, you know, for all of the loitering that Peter Parker needs, he's going to turn. to do that. Yes.

I would be all right with that, though. Oh, I'd be totally fine. I mean, I feel like the Netflix stuff could integrate so well into where the MCU is now post endgame. And, hey, any chance to see Kristen Ritter again, to see John Berenthal, to see Charlie Cox, even the guy who played Iron Fist. Any of that stuff, I think, would be. I agree. Bring that stuff back. Iron Fist and Shang-Chi team up, right?

Yeah. Oh, that would be a great little. buddy cop movie put get Aquafina tell Aquafina to go do something else and you get those two together that's a great idea all right here's Kevin Kevin Feige has said that if there's ever the

Daredevil is to ever appear in the MCU it will be Charlie Cox so okay good because he deserves it he's great yeah I will okay I got a question here what was it gonna be it was oh I heard an interview or I saw an interview

read an interview I should say with John Berenthal and his two earlobes. They were both there as well. You don't always see him in the same place, but they happened to be there that day. You have to have a white angle lens. Yeah, it was hard. They had to last minute set up new cameras. It was a pain. Anyway, so they had this interview, and he was saying

he didn't know, he didn't feel like, he, like he really wants to return to that role. He loved that take on Punisher. He's a big fan of the source. He wants to do it again. But he says, and maybe this helps indicate whether he's ever going to be used again because there's no

current deal going, but he said, I'm not sure that punisher fits in the NMCU because the MCU is a little joky, a little self-referential, a little having a little too much fun, and he doesn't think that kind of snark works with his punisher. I thought that was interesting, right? Because it's a pretty dark take, right? Like his punisher is not a quippy, jokey guy. So maybe you don't see him in the next, you know, Dr. Strange, but what about the next Deadpool film. You know, Deadpool and

Punisher instead of cable. I mean, I think always one of the best combos of pure superhero and anti-hero. Unfortunately, we don't have Steve Rogers Captain America, but in the comics, I really think that the

belief that Captain America has, compared with what the Punisher has, are kind of, they're kind of fighting for the same thing, but Captain America doesn't like the method in which the Punisher goes through it. And I think that that head-budding, is fascinating in a tale. I don't know whether it would make a movie

or whether it would make an episode in Captain American the Winter Soldier or not, or Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but I think that would be interesting to see. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it could be good. I'm a little bummed.

I'm looking at the full casting crew of the Spider-Man movie, and I don't see... Oh, are you seeing the full casting crew of the Spider-Man? Well, no, see that's the thing. Probably not, right? There's all sorts of hidden stuff.

But I don't see Benedict Wong in here. Where the frick is Benedict Wong, the greatest character in the MCU? My favorite dude. He's hanging out with Shang Chi or Shang Chi. I guess he is. He's helping train him, get him going. Yeah. He's training Aquafina right now. He did an amazing.

Speaking of another movie, he's in with Aquafina, he did an amazing voice work in that Disney's Aura and the Weird Dragon thing. Or the, what the hell of that called? Aria. Aria and the Weird Dragon coming to theaters from Disney. was great in that. He played the big dude from the frozen part of the world, and he was awesome in that. Raya, Raya, sorry. Raya. All right. Well, anyway, do you

have any final predictions? Stephen, like, yes, Andrew Garfield will. I will say this. You know why there's names missing in that IMDB listing? It's because if they told you, you wouldn't want to go see the movie. Yeah. But if there's a chance that you're going to see Daredevil or Spider-Man

or the other Spider-Man... All you muddy is the rhino. in this movie, then that's the other incentive to get you to go and see it. Right. I would be down for that, by the way, Brian. Because I guarantee you Monday morning, Monday morning or even five minutes after the midnight showing on Thursday of this, everyone's going to know what's going on in that movie. You won't hear about it from me. I'm going to be spoiler-free.

I'm okay with spoilers. I've always said that. Spoilers really don't bother my enjoyment of something. Yeah. But I am sad that I'm not going to go and see it in the theater just because the theater-going experience is just the worst. And I'm disappointed in Disney for not realizing that they can capitalize on, you know, 60% of the population. That's not going to go to the theaters. Totally, yeah.

They should. By the way, I guess Eternals scheduled for the first week of January on Plus. Yeah. And I saw that the Encanto or whatever that new Disney movie, it drops on December 24th on Disney. Oh, perfect. I'm glad I waited then because I do want to see that I like I like those Latin American superheroes

Enkanto yep Enkanto Superhero family Ask your doctor if Enkanto is right for you So okay I got a question Yes not Latin American Latin Latina What was my

Oh I had a question and now it's not going to happen Because I forgot what it was It was good and I don't remember Is it related to comic books? No oh I know what it is My prediction Oh okay When Spider-Man drops, it will become the biggest money-making movie in the country and the world, and it'll be a huge hit, all right?

Even in post-COVID times, it will be, you know, they'll make their money. And it will then start up a fresh round of conversations from old season directors who are going to get into this conversation about how the MCU and things like it have ruined movies. that things like West Side Story and that Ridley Scott movie two weeks ago, whatever it was called. The one that everybody remembers. No one can remember the name of. Like, these serious cinema efforts are getting ignored. Wait a minute.

It sounds like you're taking the Martin Scorsese approach to the MCU. You're going to get so many people in trouble. That's exactly what I'm saying. Grab the headline and not read the actual statement. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's going to happen. And there's going to be all kinds of new conversation about it. And there's going to be, and it's going to annoy everybody, including me.

It's going to annoy me how much everybody wants to talk about this. And they're going to ignore the one big elephant in the room. And that elephant, the room is not COVID, not any of that. The elephant in the room is people's tastes and where they get their content is shifting. This is a, I don't go to the record store anymore moment in movies. I really do think that. Like, you're never going to get rid of that stuff completely. But going to a theater on a Friday night.

spending the money and having all the people around you, I think is going to become more and more of an antiquated idea whether people like it or not. We've been talking about this for years, but I actually think we're on the road to this now and the shift toward consuming it in other ways streaming services being dominant

in that format is that's the future, man. And so these guys like Spielberg and all these old guys who he's not complaining, so I'm not trying to set him up for, you know, criticism. Spielberg, oh, he's complaining. Is he? Okay, so let's, all of them. His thing is that he and George Lucas both made this statement like six or seven years ago

saying that the movie theater is going to be a place very much like going to see a Broadway play or musical. It's going to be a fancy event. It's going to be very expensive. The good movies will run for six months at a time in the theater and it will be a to-do and it won't be throwaway media. Well, here's what's happening instead. I think they're right to a point, but here's where they were wrong. content like the stuff they want to put out

and I don't mean Lucas because he isn't really making anything new but like Spielberg Scorsese Ridley Scott all these guys with their high art

that shit's going to go straight to home and it's going to be appreciated and people are going to be willing to pay even premiums for it but I don't think those are blockbusters anymore we're done with that

you're not going to have West Side Story sweep the nation and everybody go see it I just don't think that happens 10 years ago maybe now I don't know man I just don't think it happens. But when you do things like,

the new Spider-Man, well, of course, it's a giant feel-good for everybody. And so everybody goes. And that's the future, whether you like it or not. Does Broadway follow suit then? Like, do people stop doing

to Broadway shows? And they have live-streaming events like the kind of similar to what's NBC doing. What's NBC doing right now? Well, that's true. Well, yeah. It isn't Broadway.

Broadway's not Cats-level entertainment. But Broadway is already, they're already the little boutique business because they used to be all you could do hundreds of years ago. That's all there was, was you in an audience and things happening on stage. That's why I think there's always going to be movie theaters because I think that there's, it's not quite as dramatic as the shift from CDs and records and cassette tapes to digital. I think that's a big one. I don't think movie theaters completely go away, but I do think you do just get the boutique situations like the Alamo draft houses, maybe the regals and the AMCs, but on a far less, not in every mall, not in every city. Exactly. I would actually use the comparison of, like, bookstores.

Bookstores have their place. They're awesome. I love a good bookstore. I love the smell of a bookstore, especially like an old used bookstore. I love it. Right. But you know what? In comics stores, we don't want to see comics stores.

mom and pop comic stores go away. We don't want to see record stores go away because they're swallowed up by Yeah, we don't want to see it, but it's going to happen and is happening, right? Like, it already has happened

and books so many chains are gone. I don't like seeing that happen. Yeah, I don't even, but there will always be these little places for it. I think movies are heading in the same place. As much as nobody wants to say it, giant megaplexes, probably aren't going to make it through this.

Probably not. But your cool little Alamo draft house probably will because it's an event. It's an event. like a concert it's like anything else so go look uh go look up the uh the current financial situation of alamo draft house no i don't want to know it'll depress me yeah we had one close out here we had three we had one for the longest time then they said oh let's put up two more then covid came six months later and now it's like oh man we might be going back down to one yeah

i haven't followed up in a long time but back in march alamo had filed for bankruptcy oh that's no good yeah uh you ever and really bankruptcy is is really more just trying to deal with current creditors, not that they're, that's just a restructure thing. I have a bad business model. Yeah, it doesn't mean you're leaving necessarily. But you guys are one of your, take your family, here's what you do. You go into a bookstore, like a Barnes & Noble today. It's like the only one left. Oh. That's annoying. That's a good one. That's good. But you walk into the thing. You pull out your phone and every, you do this every time you go in there, that's how it's annoying. One time, that's fine. It's almost a nice little anecdote. The 20th time, my wife's ready to kill me. But I walk into a

movie or walk into a, like Barnes & Noble, great big Barnes & Noble. I pull out my phone. I pull out my phone and go, did you know that everything in this entire two-acre building fits eight times over on my phone? Everything in here. Every piece of content. Eight times this place. So eight of these stores fit on my phone. Half the number of times in real life that you talk about on this show that would still be too many. It's annoying. I know. I know, but I can't get over it. Like I just, I'm saying we're having seismic changes that are going to affect people for good or for ill, like, you know, whatever. People were

afraid that Lotus 1, 2, 3 would destroy the accounting world and it didn't. In fact, it made it bigger. So, you know, it's not saying it's bad. I'm just saying we're heading there. Sam Jane says I'm getting old person's syndrome. No, this is me saying no, quit being

old. We've got to be on the cutting edge. Old person syndrome is, we got to do something to save the coal industry. Yeah, I'm more of the old. No, movie theaters aren't going away because we still want that communal experience of seeing something on the big screen. Right, which I think has value. I really do.

I just hope there's a, there's a place. In the end of all of it, there's a place for, because whatever, we just get, this is life. We change. Everything changes. We'll keep changing. It's okay. Chit-cha changes, right? We know the song.

We're good. All right. Stephen, finally. No, there's, that's all. That's it. Are you reading any cool? comics at the moment or what? There are two ones that I would

recommend and you caught me by surprise here but it's called crap. It just came out last week. I think I mentioned it on the show. It's from DC Comics and it's kind of like DOA the movie meets superheroes.

It's a really, really great let me see if I can find it really quick by publishers. It's really great. It is by Tom Tom Taylor? I believe it's Tom Taylor. Gosh, dang it.

And I mentioned it just a few weeks ago. He's my favorite writer, you know. I'll read anything. I know. I know. That's why I said you should really, really check it out. God dang it. Now I don't see it. I will send it to you. But it's really, really good. The second issue just came out last week, two weeks ago. It's a fantastic series where somebody has found out that he's been poisoned and he has to find out who poisoned him. And it just might be a superhero who did it.

And so that's what he's doing across this 12-issue maxi series. And it's so, so good, Scott. I think you'd really, really dig it. The art style is great. It has this kind of late 50s, early 60s kind of styling to it that you see in all the ads from that time period. The colors are great. It's really a good, good series. That reminds me of Frontiers every time you mention it, that style, that kind of like art.

Yes. Unfortunately, speaking of someone who died way too soon. Too many amazing comic people die early. What's going on with that? They're sitting at their desk too long or something. Then we got to get up and stretch. Yeah, be like Greg Capulow, man. That guy has benches like 300 pounds.

He's 60 years old or 61 or something. Oh, yeah. And if Michael Avon Oming, who did a lot of the power stuff and does stuff for DC, or I'm sorry, Marvel, he goes out and he does martial arts and stuff. He's, he's ripped. He's pretty awesome. Yeah. Yeah. And finally, any thoughts on that Wonder Woman video game got announced at the Game Awards?

I don't know if you saw that little... No, I didn't see that. It looks cool. It looks like a cool take on Wonder Woman. They didn't show much, but, you know, it's all the rage now to make a good comic book-based video game, and I'd take one from PC. I'm down for that. Yeah. They also showed a ton more of the upcoming Suicide Squad game that's from Rocksteady, who made all of the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City and all those games. that looks like it's really coming together. That looks awesome. Cool.

And then there's the other one, Arkham Knights, which is, I guess, all Robbins doing shit because Batman dies or something. Anyway. We don't know where Batman's at. We don't know where you. Here's the title of the book. The Human Target is the first book.

And again, Scott, this is something that you definitely want to get. And the other one that people want to check out, it's kind of got a little bit of historical accuracy to it is the good Asian from Image Comics. It is about a, an Asian detective from Hawaii who has to come to California to solve a crime. And, of course, it's at a time period when the Asian community is totally frowned upon. And there were no Asian members of the police force in San Francisco. So that one's also a really great series.

Very cool. All right. I'm marking this now to read later, Human Target. All right, Stephen, it's been a pleasure. Is there any, I don't know, we learned earlier on the show that you can only go about. a week before you die without water. So what would you suggest? I know, right?

I definitely tell people to stay hydrated. Oh, that's a great idea. Steven Schleiker, everybody, major spoilers.com. Have a good one. We'll see you next time. Bye now. All right.

Hey, Brian, what if I told you that we had a mashup that is our Christmas special and I was going to play it now? What would you say? Our Christmas special mashup? Oh my God. This is great.

It seems early, but that's okay. It does seem early. We have two weeks until Christmas. We do. But I think his thinking is we're going to have so much of the end of year stuff that we may as well get this one out of the way, you know? He's probably expecting that we're going to have like a bunch of missed days between he probably is. And he might be right for that week. I don't know.

Who knows? Who knows? But here it is. This is our Christmas special, Jamie, aka TMS smashups, made this. Everyone enjoy. Ho, ho, ho. Nobody freak out. Put your hands up. Keep your hands where I can see him. Oh, ho, ho. T'was the deal before Christmas and all for the house. Not a monkey was stirring. I couldn't find me blouse.

Brian, and I didn't want to watch me because he was super girly. But I think you really like it. Oh my God, my mom is here. Is she really there? She is really here. Isn't it funny? The person's vagina that you exited is now at the front door. Yes.

I know she's got another car load of homeless bags, so she's doing it. Oh, she puts homeless people in bags. Well, she calls the homeless people bags. That's what she calls. I'm not saying I'm going to fuck this lady. I'm not going to probably ever do anything with her again. I say, do you have the time? Hold on.

Let me squirt some milk from my anus. Okay, now. We were raised, right? Anal fissure. Anal fissure. Anal fissure. Tell me where it hurts. I'll need to touch your breasts now.

Don't worry. That's going on. Brian, I have all this leftover stuff. I don't think I'm going to do any more stained glass this year. So can we put that stuff in a cabinet? Watching the two of you lick the head. head. It's just, uh, wow. He was said he was... Oh, those look like they've been

augmented. Are those real? Oh, no. These are not my real. Are those real? And they're spectacular? These are my fake boobs. I did shave my because it was getting shaggy and unruly and I kind of overdid the shave. Oh, yeah, I got one. I got a vibrator, I says. Totally okay to have a doctor, uh, jam a camera up your saddle smasher.

Make sure there's no beans in there where they ought not be. I'm here for the four skins. Oh, Tina, I need to go get all the foreskins. Get my bag. There are many reports of people with psychopsycopathy. Can't get it out of my ass or my mouth. That's the problem. It's not in my ass. It's in my mouth.

Anyway. They didn't hold any boners back. No, there were no boners left on the table. Packed them up, put them in, all the boners. That's what I want to do is throw up many times. It's from that documentary where Arnold told us that he gets an erection whenever he works out. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I don't remember it being specifically he gets a boner during the workout.

Yeah, well, no, but it's. Yeah. The feeling of working out is like coming. And so I'm coming at the gym and I'm coming at home. I'm coming all the time. Oh, man. That was gnarly. That was a gnarly one.

I enjoyed it, though. Well done. Went places at the end there. Yep. Never came back. Went places and did not return. Okay. Well, on that note.
