I think we both know, Mary. It's just that

we seem to be drifting apart. I'm sorry, Mary. I've tried. Oh, I don't blame you, John. It's just that... It's not your fault either, of course. It's just that we don't have... Exactly.

There's this awful gap in our lives just because we don't have... Oh, but why talk about it? You can imagine what he's. he's thinking now. Pretty hair. Eye contact, great for job interviews, creepy while eating a banana. This is the morning's dream.

Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream. for TMS, or for, sorry, what is the day? Tuesday, February 8th, 2022. I was looking at our show number at 2242, and it really threw me. And you say you're at 98%. Yeah, closer to 95, maybe.

If you wonder what that means, you should be a patron because we do a pre-show. Yeah. Yeah, every day, pre-show, and we put it up in the show, and then you get to hear it, see? And then post-show. It's like getting an extra. extra 20 minutes of TMS every day. Yeah. Why wouldn't you want that in your life, honestly?

Ask yourself the question, look in the mirror real hard, and then make that determination yourself. Real hard. Real hard. Welcome back to the show. I'm Scott, and he's Brian, and we got stuff. We have things. Brian, we're going to start off today.

I wouldn't call out. It's just sort of a check back in on the things. Is it a call out? It's a call out. Yeah, somebody's taking me to task for a promise I made and I did not follow through on. Oh, wow. Okay. Because I wasn't sure how this turned out. I couldn't remember. And if you don't remember doing it, then I guess we didn't do it. But, um, all right. Here's what happened on episode 1,000. Apparently. I didn't go back and listen. But in this episode, you made a promise. Here's the email from Emile in the Netherlands. Dear Scott and Brian, I was just listening to the 1,000th episode. In this episode, Brian said he would go out and get a fish sandwich during the show. And I guess it was in response probably to this clip, which I'll play. now, which is right here. Hey, too are I get a fish sandwich?

So Brian's going to, like, go see how early he could get a fish sandwich. Yeah. Anyway, it says, now I don't think he ever did that. If he did, please point me to the episode. Otherwise, Brian has to go, go. Brian has got to go somewhere. Love the show. I love that.

That's my favorite part of this email. Otherwise, Brian has got to go somewhere. I assume he means you need to go get a fish sandwich, but, you know. I hope that's what he means. Otherwise, it's like, Brian has got to go get a fish sandwich. is like, Brian, you're out. Yeah, you're out. That's it.

So you didn't do this. No, I don't ever remember doing that. The, you know, the obvious reason is because it's very tough while we're doing a show for me just to up and leave. And it means, you know, there's going to be swaths of time where I'm not connected. Like, it's between connections of Wi-Fi and 3G or 4-G or 5-G or whatever. Sure. Uh, audio quality, uh, me driving, of course. Yeah, of course. I can't be looking at show notes and driving and still doing the news and the funny, funny, but, uh, but, um, when we have a guest on, uh, it's certainly a possibility to, like, say, all right, this will be the day. So we've got, you know, not today, obviously, but today would be a good example, right? We've got Bill, we've got Bobby. And it would be easy for me at the end of the song to, uh, the middle of the Indian the middle song, to write.

run out, hop in the car, still stay on Discord. Oh, yeah. So I can hear what's going on. We should do this. Why don't we do this? We should do this. Yeah, not today, but we'll do this. Today's not this day, but we'll be a little bit more funny because here's the other part of this. My first attempt to get a fish sandwich will probably be fruitless. I need to go to like three places or four places before I can get one.

And I need to find a good concentration near me of. drive-throughs that I can go to out of one into the other before I can finally get a fish sandwich. But each place I will do the... Yeah, is it too early to get a fish sandwich? Yeah, and we'll get it on the air. So it'll be perfect. We'll get it on the air. Exactly. I do hope

your fish sandwich is fruitless, by the way, just from a technical standpoint. Oh, yeah. So I'd like, well, pineapple would be good. Like a pineapple terriacchi fish sandwich? Oh, I don't know. But nobody has that. No. What? Really? Well, I'm just thinking. Pineapple and fish. Okay, if it's like a McDonald's McDonnell's McFish or whatever they're called. Yeah, the filet

Oh, fish. Put pineapple on that. Hi, hello, children. I'm filet, oh, fish. Would you do that, though, there? Because it seems like that's a bad combo there. Now, I understand, like, a proper place with, like, good food and everything. Oh, I'm not going to ask for a terriacchi pineapple fish sandwich anywhere.

Yeah. Seems like a bad. At a dry-out. No, but, I mean, if it's, you know, if there is going to be, if it's not going to be fruitless, I wish the fruit to be pineapple. Gotcha. How's that? That's fair. So, yeah.

Yeah. So, I've just got to figure out, like, one. When, or what's the, what's the closest place I can drive to that has a really good concentration of like a McDonald's, a Burger King? Yeah. Who else, one of the fast food places have a fish sandwich that I'd be able to ask for. Trying to think. Oh, Habit does have one. I don't know if you have one of those yet.

We don't have habits here. Does Wendy's have fish sandwiches? I don't think they do. I don't think Wendy's does. I mean, their frosty is a little fishy sometimes, if you know what I mean. I don't think Dairy Queen has one. Oh, do they really? Maybe, maybe Dairy Queen does.

Long John Silver's, we used to have those. We don't have those anymore. Arbys? Let's see. Breakfasts, besides, beverage, frosty. Chick-fil-A-Nay. Classics. Yeah, Wendy's menu on their website is still all breakfast stuff.

Oh, they only should. So it's truly even to look at their regular. Is it totally to look at a lunch menu? You'll say it when you want it. Exactly. I don't see a fish sandwich there. Let's see, chicken, nuggets, and more. So let's see if it's under there.

Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken. I would go there. I'd go to a place called chicken nuggets and more. Well, the way they write it is chicken, comma, nuggets, comma, and more. So they've got their spicy chicken sandwich, their classic chicken sandwich. Their spicy Asiago Ranch Club, which is chicken. But I don't see, I don't see any fish at... I don't think they do fish.

That Wendy's... No. I think Dave Thomas is rolling in his great. right now we don't have any old fash and fish he says to himself no old fash and fish uh well all right yeah but that's the idea you got to find the idea i'll just find a good like all right here's the intersection where i'll be hitting four fast food places and uh yeah and it's obviously got to be close enough that i can get to it during the show if it's 45 minutes away that kind of defeats the purpose yeah you could call it a concentration you could call it a coagulation you could call it

an obstruction call it all those things yeah because let's get's kind of what they're have a fish sandwich? I don't know. They got their Diablo, a hot chicken deal right now, but I don't know about fish. I was going to try that Diablo thing yesterday. Instead, I got a kind of normal club over at the chick filet.

And they said, here you go. And I said, thank you. And they said, don't forget to not like the gays. And I said, no problem. And I drove away. Okay, good. Well done. Just kidding. They're very, the local owners are very nice and not anti-gay. It's your at your head of the place that's kind of got a problem anyway um hey so brian uh we'll do it we'll figure it out we'll get it we get it done yeah so far i've found an intersection that that is uh maybe 15 minutes

away that's got an arby's a McDonald's um there's a rusty taco but uh that boy it sounds that as i say that out loud don't look that up on urban dictionary no no uh no that one just kind of rights itself. It does. You don't even need the definition. It's all in my head now. Yeah. Ugh. Buh. All right. Hey, Brian, we're going to take a look at today's Oscar nominations for the year 2022, well, 2021 movies for the year 2022. I missed the live broadcast of the... I didn't know it was today. I completely missed it. I had no idea. I thought of it yesterday. I'm like, oh, I have to make sure I watch that. And then this morning got up and, you know, I'm blaming the cold. It's

just, you know, effing with my, my ability to, uh, uh, to come up with words. Sure. I have to remember things. That was perfect timing for that. Perfect example of that. So there, I, I'm going to just say this before I read them. Sure. I think they're kind of boring this year.

I don't mean the movies. The movies are fine. I'm saying, there's nothing here that you're like, whoa, yeah, all right. Like, it's just kind of, well, of course it's up for an, of course, these are on the list. Like it's, there's no big shockers here. I am a little bugged. I mean, I'll give you that. I mean, I disagree with that a little

bit. I feel like there's a couple in here that are like, oh, really? Okay, cool. Oh, okay. Well, let's get, we'll get to them here. Then, let's start with the big one. The best picture nominations. Yes. I'm also curious how many you've seen of these.

I will tell you right now, I have seen seven of the ten best picture nominees. That's pretty good. I have recommendled three of them. Oh, oh. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Coda.

I'm going to... Don't look up, and King Richard, I recommendled. That's right. You recommend the Power of the Dog. We both saw it that same week, I think. That weekend, yeah, we both loved it. Oh, so good. That's a great movie.

All right, so here you got your Belfast. Have you seen the Belfast? I have not. That's one of the three I haven't seen. The three I haven't seen are Belfast drive my car and West Side Story. Gotcha.

So you got Belfast, Coda. Don't look up. Drive my car. Doon. Perhaps the most important one on the list. I just want to put that out there. Doon?

And that one I would say is the surprise. I mean, anytime you see a genre film in the staunchy, stuffy, best picture category, it's a surprise. Seeing Mad Max there was a surprise.

Seeing Black Panther there a couple years ago was a surprise. And seeing Dune is a surprise as well. I'll just say that one of us was not surprised by Mad Max Fury Road being on that list. I'm not surprised at all.

I believe I predicted it and it happened. Anyway. Yeah, good point. Dune, King Richard, licorice pizza. I mean, I'm sure the movie's great, but I don't want to eat it. It's a nickname for record album for vinyl.

Oh, is it? I didn't know that. Yeah. Which does not come up in the movie, by the way. Oh, that's just the thing you knew about. That's cool. It's just a nickname, because there was a record store here called Lickrish Pizza for a while, and we're like, what the heck does that name mean? And then they explained what's a nickname for vinyl albums.

I honestly had no idea until now. That's really cool. I actually really like that now. I hated the name before because it just sounded gross. It stars the Heinz Sister whose eyes are a little closer together than the other two. Yep, that sounds about right. She's very interesting-looking human beings. She is.

Actually, all three of the Heim sisters and their parents appear in this film. All the Hymans are in there. All the, they all get busted in this film. Oh, geez. You know, I was thinking, how can it get worse after I say this? And you immediately taught me. Have we reached a line yet? Oh, yes.

Yeah, we're there. Nightmare Alley, which I've not seen yet, want two real bad. It's your del Toro business there. Here's a secret. It's going to be my recommendal tomorrow. Oh. Hey, you know what makes this year interesting? almost all of these are things. Oh, now something's interesting, Scott?

Well, no, no, no. I guess this does make it kind of interesting. This is the year where, and it's, you know, there's many factors to this, but this is the year where you can see almost all of these now on streaming. Most years, it's like, well, get to the theater and get her going, but now it's like, I don't know, this stuff's all at home. Correct, yeah, basically everything but licorish, so Belfast, drive my car, liquorish pizza, and West Side. story can be viewed online now. Nightmare Alley, you can see on HBO Max or Hulu right now. Yeah. That's weird, isn't it? I don't know. Is King Richard? King Richard was one of those limited time HBO deals. Yeah, it'll be back, but it was there for its first month. Yeah. Same with Dune. Same with, although I think Dune might be on its way back.

Yeah, I think June's on its way back yet. It's like, the first one I can think of it was like that was the suicide squad, and that came back. already so it'll be back I'm really happy to see dude where's my car on here oh I'm sorry drive my car sorry drive my car Japanese foreign film that's also up for best international film as opposed to best

foreign film fancy it sounds good from the description but like nothing you can't even rent it like right now you can rent Belfast for 20 on Apple TV but West Side Story and drive my car You can't even, you can't do anything. There's nothing you can do.

You can't even drive my car. Yeah. You can't even drive my car. I don't even think you can go to the theaters currently and see those. I think that they're in that weird event horizon space between theaters and rental streaming. Sounds right. Power of the Dog and West Side Story. We mentioned those are on there as well.

Actors and Supporting Role, or Jesse Buckley and the Lost Daughter. Another recommendal. Yep, that's right. Ariana DeBose and the West Side Story. Judy Dench, love her in Belfast. I mean, I haven't seen Belfast, but I love her. Kirsten Duntz, the Power of the Dog. She was really good.

I would be very happy if she won. That'd be great. Yep. Anjonuny Ellis. Angenu Ellis. She played Serena Williams and King Richard. I feel like I should have gotten Anjanoe. What's wrong with me?

I should have had Anjanoe. Look at it. It's spelled out right there. It's actually. spelled the way you would say it on june it's got a built-in pronunciation deal and i couldn't do it anyway king richard yes clare gack wants me to point out that i did see belfast back in september starring claire gack yeah she's not up though she's not up for this award sorry claire you got you got snubbed you're like you're the denise villeneuve of this uh of the acting actor category

uh actor in a supporting role we got syrian hinds uh sharon i think that's how you pronounce it This is one that, listen, I just learned this week that A-I-S-L-I-N-G is pronounced Ashling. Ashling B. Oh, my Lord. She was, uh, did you see, you saw that, um, Paul Redd Netflix series where he cloned himself? Oh, I never saw it, but I, you recommended it or something. Or someone saw it. Ashley B plays his wife.

And I, she is hilarious and fantastic. And I'm just now getting to a season of, uh, Taskmaster, where, where she's one of the participants and um that's awesome yes does taskmaster fight batman or just taskmaster so here's here's why i haven't brought taskmaster up and i think taskmaster spoiler alert too might be another one of my right it's eventually going to be another one of my recommendals and i've been kind of keeping it a secret because um i've been wanting to do a live taskmaster thing at one of our events like a tms Vegas or a future nerd tacular or or something.

I'm already five seasons into the TV show. It's a BBC TV show where Greg Davis gives five British comedians or Canadian or Irish a series of tasks to complete and then whoever completes them in the fastest time or to his approval wins the prize. And I've been wanting to, ever since I started watching this, I've been wanting to somehow turn it into a TMS thing, into a, like, you, jury, Tom, deal. So it will happen. At some point, it will happen.

It was going to be an idea I had for this TMS, Vegas, but it just doesn't look like it's going to work out for time. I get you. I get you. I feel you. Yeah. There's always the future. By the way, don't send me your emails.

Yeah, yeah. How Sharon is pronounced. C-I-A-R-A-N. How is that pronounced, Claire? Claire Gack. She pronounces it. Claire Gack. She pronounced it. For all of those at home, her busily assembling emails and telling me, reminding me that Taskmaster is not a DC character. I know. It's Marvel.

I made the Batman joke poorly. It's a poor joke. Okay, I get it. Oh, got you. Okay. Got it. I just don't want their emails. All right, here we go. And it's two Marvel characters because the one in the Black Widow is not the one that you see in the comics. Kieran. Kieran is, by the way, how you pronounce Kieran Heinz in Belfast. Kieran. Okay, like that I could see, I guess. Troy Kostur in Kota. Kutzer. Kutzer?

Kutzer. Kutzer. All right. I don't know. Jesse Plemons, Fat Damon, in the power of the dog. Meth Damon, too, yeah. Meth, Damon. All sorts of horrible names. Poor Jesse Plymonds. I love Jesse Plymins. I love him.

I love him in everything. I watch anything he's ever in, and I really liked him in this. But he's fun. It's fun to have fun. J.K. Simmons and Being the Ricardo. playing fred mertz fred mertz yeah i think that's awesome cody smit mcfee in the power of the dog he was a creepy weird kid in that he was uh international feature film

stumbled upon cumberbatch's wiener yeah he truly did and so did we all we unfortunately or fortunately that's right we all we all saw doctors strange yeah we saw his strange uh i'm gonna skip down a documentary feature i haven't seen any of these but i plan to Ascension, Attica, Flee, Summer of Soul, and Writing with Fire. Have you seen any of these yet? I've not seen any of these.

Summer of Soul has been on our list, though, because it's a music-related one that I was very interested in. Oh, very nice. Yeah. Original song, I don't think these are the song titles. Those aren't the songs, yeah, because Enkanto had like a dozen songs. I'm curious to know which original song. Let me pull up the Hollywood Reporter. You'd think they would say this here.

This is kind of bad reporting, but original song, they've got King Richard and Canto, Belfast, No Time to Die in Four Good Days. I assume the No Time to Die is probably the Billy Eilish deal. The name song, the Billy Elish deal. Yeah. Best song. Which I quite liked, by the way. I thought that was good.

She had a good job. Yeah, I thought so, too. We heard that years before we saw the movie. Yeah, that's true. They held that thing too long. They held that movie way too long because I don't. I'm not saying it's a bad James Bond movie, but it's not their best work. It's fine.

You held on to it too long, so the hype meter was off the charts and you effed it up. You shouldn't have done that. Just put it out. Yeah. So Dos Oroguitas is the Enkanto song, which surprises me because I like the, I mean, the opening song that introduces you to the characters. The family Madrigal is really good. We don't talk about Bruno is really good. And there's a, God, what's it called?

It's like the pressure. That's the one I thought for sure would be the, the one that would get nominated, like the drip, drip, drip, drip, the pressures up or something like that. I can't remember how he goes, but it's like the, it's the one that I think kids are now singing in place of, yeah, the strong sister song in place of Let It Go. It's the new Let It Go. Oh, don't tell me that. I don't want Encanto to become like the new Frozen.

I don't want that. It's not. It's just that song is the new popular one. It's taking the place of... I know that soundtrack's very popular, so... Somebody's now... There's now a show title, potential surface pressure, that's it. Amarlyan is now... Now there's a show title.

Drip, drip, drip, the pressure's up. Nice. Something like that. I can't remember the damn song. Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Let's see here. You got your animated feature film in Kanto, obviously, is in there. That's a big one this year.

And Kanto's the one to a little way. but what else do we have? Probably. Flea. You got Luca, which I think is, should win. I love Luca.

Well, I like them all. Whatever. They're all good. Mitchell's versus the machine should win because I love that movie. See, that's another one that I think, I'd love to see that unseat Disney. That'd be amazing, right?

Yeah. It won't happen, but I want it to. Ryan, the Last Dragon, also very good from Disney. But once again, Disney kind of own in the place. The three of those nominations are theirs. Let's see. Skip ahead here.

got another one for Dune and adapted screenplay along with Coda, drive my car, lost daughter, and power of the dog. I'm going to get to actor in her leading role. Javier Bardem and being in the Ricardo's. Yeah, flip a coin. He doesn't deserve it. That's because they know he's going to shoot him with the cow pressure gun. This is how they get you, Brian.

All right. That's how they get you. They go, even the academy's intimidated by him is what I'm saying. Benedict Cumberbatch Power of the dog deserved. Should get that. Andrew Garfield, Tick, Tick, Boom. I haven't seen it, but according to you, it's really good. He does, of these five, and I've seen, uh, all five of these roles, sadly only made

it through about the first 20 minutes of the tragedy of Macbeth with Denzel Washington, but, uh, why only, why you give up? It's a hard, it's a hard watch. Tina couldn't do it anymore. Um, it is, it is beautifully shot. You remember how you saw Lighthouse. Yeah. With, uh, Patenson and Defoe.

Yeah. And it's like it's four by three, it's black and white, it's very stark, it's very contrasted. Tragedy of Macbeth is presented in the same way, and it's almost done like a stage play where the actors come right up to the screen and deliver their lines. And it's not modernized, it is the actual Shakespearean text. And unless you're familiar with Macbeth, it's, you know, we don't speak in Iambic pentameter we don't know how this stuff what they mean

when they're talking about these things so my recommendation is watch it but read cliff notes on Macbeth beforehand so that you know what's going on okay so since it's one of the Coen brothers is there a point in there where someone says the heck deem mean the heck deemine it's my deal away

Francis McGorman does you know she is there and she plays Macbeth's mother, believe. That makes sense. Yeah. Right? Oh, no, no, that's not right.

She's the, yeah, I have to go back. I've decided I'm going to go back and watch the rest of it. Tina's done. She says, yeah, watch it on your own. But anyway, out of these five, Andrew Garfield, tick, boom, is my pick. Oh, really? You take him over, Cumberbatch.

He is phenomenal in it. He is so good. And as good as, you know, musicals as Encanto is, and I'm sure West Side Story is, Tick-Tick-Bomb is far, for me, far and above the best of the bunch. Okay. So there you go. In which category? It's actor in a leading role. Oh, you said something about, sorry, I'm just confused about the Can-T-T-Bo.

I'm just saying that as far as the musicals goes, as far as musicals go, Tick-T-T-Bo beats. Oh, Tick-T-Boom's a musical. It's a musical. It's a musical. It's a musical about Jonathan Larson or by Jonathan Larson, semi-autobiographical. Oh, okay. I didn't know it was a musical. I had no idea. All right. Does he sing then? He's a singing guy? He does. And he sings well. He sings incredibly well. Nice. So he shoot webs all over the place? No? Don't do that. Sheetwebs all over the place and crying over the death of Glenn Stacey still. Oh, come on. Get over it, Peter.

Yeah, get over that hump. Does he complain that Mark Zuckerberg stole half the company from him? Does he do that? Yeah, he does that too. All right, good. All right, actress in a leading role, Jessica Chastain for the eyes of Tammy Faye, which I've hovered over a couple times with my mouth and then decided not to watch. As did Tina and I. We have not watched it yet. I guess now we have to now that it's best actress.

Yeah, now you're required to do it. Olivia Coleman with her usual nomination for something, the lost daughter. So she's back in there for that. Another recommendal. Yep. Penelope Cruz for Parallel Mothers. That's where you line up all your mothers. side by side that's the only way to do it yeah if you're going to do it if you're going to line your

mother's up doing parallel i say exactly well i should rephrase that anyway uh Nicole Nicole Kimman for being ricardo's her uh lucy deal yeah she was good but yeah yeah wouldn't give it to her Kristen Stewart for Spencer she plays the princess die oh i was hoping she was hawk and then she'd have her own spin-off called uh a man called hawk no oh that's not that It's Stuart for hire. Oh, Stuart for hire for a movie called Spencer. Got it. Okay.

Yeah, there you go. Exactly. Yeah, that's the Princess Die film, and she's apparently really good in it, but I haven't seen it yet. Yeah, I heard nothing but good things about her role in that. All right, directors, here's a big one. Here's one where we got a big flubber. Here's one where there is one missing surprisingly that I think.

Yeah. Well, maybe a couple. The one I'm in particular mad at, we'll get to in a second. Kenneth Braunoff for Belfast. I think he's going to do well this year. Ryzuki Hemagachi for Drive My Car, Hamaguchi? Sure. Close.

Paul Thomas Anderson. I want to those in my pocket. Paul Thomas Anderson for Mortal Kombat. Oh, I'm sorry. Wrong Paul Anderson. For licorice pizza. Jane Campion, Power of the Dog. By the way, she has not been nominated for Best Director since she directed what's

his name's penis in the piano. Oh, really Harvey Keitel's penis? Yeah, Harvey Keitel's Swing and Dinger. name one other thing about that movie? Nope, there's a piano in it, uh, and his wiener, and then Molly, or Holly, uh, Hunt, or who is it? Who's in that?

Holly Barry. I'm not going to say it, because I want to see if you can come up with something besides Harvey Catchell's penis. Uh, it's really shocking and it's all I remember. Helen Hunt, not Helen Hunt, Molly, it's not Helen Hunt. What, uh, uh, uh, uh, ah, oh my God, your son was you've like put all, you've got the, all the pieces. You just need to put them together.

Holly Hunter, there, these. There we go. Thank you, P. Crum in the chat. Yeah, Holly, that's all I remember. So it's all about a weaner, and it's kind of stark and, like, set in early 1900s or something like that. There you go. Anyway, Jane Camping, back on it with Power of the Dog. And then Steven Spielberg, who has got one nomination for Best Picture in every decade for four decades.

Oh, has you really? Wow. Okay. At least one. That's nuts. Yeah. Yeah. For Westside Story. Now, there's no, I see no Quebec-y, fantastic Denise Villeneuve in here at all. And that is a problem for me. I think Dune deserved best the director. Dune is in almost every other category.

I know, I know. That's what's so surprising to not see it here in director. I don't know how good Belfast and drive my car are. And West Side Story, so maybe they will just blow me away. but not seeing him in under director as a surprise. Also, Nightmare Allie, oh, my God, why am I blanking on his name? Guillermo del Toro. Yes, Guillermo del Toro, brilliantly capturing Kearney life

and the dark side of it in Nightmare Alley should have been in here as well. Love his movies. I mean, he won for a fish, fish date, lady, right? Fish, fish, doing it with a fish, fish. Fish, fish date. Yeah, what was that called? It's called the water, the color, the shape of water. The color of water.

There you go. The color of the shape of water. Anyway, that's a real bummer, and I'm pissed. Either of those guys aren't on there. They should both be on there. Okay, production design, Dune, Nightmare Alley, the Power of the Dog, tragedy of Macbeth, and Westside Story. Then you got a bunch of stuff.

costume designs and all these. Most of these have Dune in them. Let me get down here to score. Okay, how about this? Yep, we love our scores. Yeah, don't look up. I actually really like the score and don't look up. It was really good.

It's funny. I don't remember it, but... Oh, that was great. It was surprisingly good for a movie like that. Dune is amazing. I think the best work German guy has done. That's his name? Hans Zimmer.

I think it says, I think it's his best work. I freaking love it. Hans Zimmer? Which it says a lot. That guy makes a lot of great music for tons of great movies, but, man, the Dune soundtracks is insane, especially that, those throat singer dudes on the weird planet. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are so great.

All right. In Conto, of course, you think you're Lin-Manuel Miranda, Miranda, or whatever. That's a thing, though. I mean, score doesn't usually include the songs. It's the score music, right? Oh, right. And I don't know how much influence Lin-Man, Manuel Miranda had on the score music.

I hate saying his name, because you feel like you always have to say his full name, because I do. I feel like you have to, right? Yeah, you can go, Lynn Miranda. I mean, you could. Lynn Miranda. Could I just call him Lynn? How about that? Just Lynn?

Manuel Miranda. I know, it's complicated. Parallel mothers and power of the dog. That's a cool track, but it's also really disconcerting the power of the dog music. Makes you feel weird. But the music in Power of the Dog was so, it just resonated and it like really set up what was about to happen in the scenes. More so than reactive. And in some places, this is very minimal, but enough to make you feel like, oh, my gosh, what is it going to happen in the scene?

It's very, very effective. Visual effects. We like this category. Yes, this is a great category. Can't wait to see what happens here. All right. We got Dune. we got Free Guy

Free Guy This is the only chance It had any sort of Yeah Mentioned during the Oscars Although people kind of like Free Guy I guess It's a

It's liked but you know It's not It's not Oscar material You see the trailer And you know exactly What you're gonna get And it's good And it meets all those expectations

Yeah So you got that You got no time to die I don't know what the effects are in there I guess there's some just good Stuff that look Blowing stuff up and Sure

I guess you got your shang chi or shang chi sorry and the legend of the 10 rings yeah there's all 10 of those rings uh one tall the kings of men uh the dwarves and then uh who else got a ring oh wait that's wrong wrong film uh spider man no way home uh also on here i thought the you know typical superhero stuff that we get in there but all looked real good oh except you know what i'm taking points off for the lizard up close talking to the lizard guy. I never liked the whole lizard look from even the amazing Spider-Man movie, right? It's video game.

There's nothing wrong with the way the comic book lizard looked. He looked like a, like kind of a dinosaur man. Yeah, you should have gone like that. And this one looks like a pale, scaly, I don't know. I agree. I agree. Yeah. But also just when he talked.

It was lip-synced funny. It looked like bad video game budget. It wasn't good. So points off for that, Spider-Man. It's Rees. Rees Davies, right? Uh, uh, wait. Who's, wasn't, uh, who's the lizard and, uh...

No, that's not him. Not the, not the band meeting guy. Is that who you're thinking of? Uh, Rees, uh, Riz, E-Fans. Oh, yeah. Is E-Fans. Rise E-Fans. There's three Riz, Riz, there's Rise Davies,

uh, whoever played Gimley, forgot his name. And then, that guy you just mentioned. Right. Somebody, again, again, another clarification, R-H-Y-S, is it RISE? Is it RISE, Riz, Riz. No, it's not RISE Davies. That's not him. Yeah. The band meeting guy is Dice Tomato. The band meeting, that's RISE Davies. Yeah. Right? Is it Reese? Okay, Reese. Rees Davies. Do we say it like Brian Dunaway, Rees? Is it Reesies Davies?

Rees-Davies, P-C-C-Sys. Yeah, I don't know. All right, here's a funny one. You want a funny one? John Rees Davies is bad dates, indeed, bad dates. Oh, John Rees Davies, yeah. That's it. Oh, well, who am I thinking of?

Who's band meeting? Is the other Rees. He's Darby. Darby. Darby. You want to pull a chesty? You got to see him in the... His character in Bob's Burgers is one of the funniest damn things in the world.

All right. This one's funny. makeup and hairstyling. It's as if we're in a different planet. It really is, yeah. Coming to America, okay, with the two in the middle, it's a sequel. Cruella, the Eyes of Tammy Faye, House of Gucci, and really the only normal one here is Dune.

Yeah. Give it to Dune. It really surprises me that this is the only, I haven't seen House of Gucci, but I heard it was really good. It really still surprises me that we didn't see it in any other categories, House of Gucci. Yep.

yeah that's that's i also heard that i heard uh what's his name's pretty oh you know i thought would be on here at least once for something was uh the last duel i was sure of it oh i know yeah i'm bummed and they didn't give what's her name best actress nomination that's a crime that's a crime dude also for makeup and hair styling i really would really would have liked to have seen uh really jilliani yeah that would have been great yeah when he was getting his wiener out on the bed with uh with uh with borat's daughter borat's fake daughter, yeah. I actually really like that movie.

More than I thought I would. I didn't, you know, the first one, whatever, I can take it or leave it. But that second one I thought had heart and it was weird. It was good. But I was going to say about, okay, who would you swap out here for actress in leading role if you had to, to swap in Comer? The problem with this is that I haven't seen

parallel mothers, I haven't seen Spencer, and I haven't seen Eyes of Tammy Fay. Nicole Kidman. I mean, swap her for him for Nicole Kidman. Yeah, absolutely. Nicole Kimman did a great job playing Lucy, Lucy Ricardo, and Lucille Ball. But Jody Comer was fantastic. She is the glue that holds that whole film together. Without her... 100%. Without a great actor in that role, in that... No, it's important. It's like it's... Well, you said it. It's the glue. It's the pivotal thing. You don't... If she is not there, it doesn't freaking work. Yeah. So what are you even doing?

Nicole Kidman, you've had your other ones. You've won others. You're good. Olivia Coleman even. Step aside for once. You got, you win everything. I can't do it. I loved her in Lost Daughter.

You need to see The Lost Daughter. Should be the next, like the next thing that your mouse hovers over on and actually clicks on on Netflix is the Lost Daughter. Because Olivia Coleman's characters are always, you can't you can't not love them right I love her and everything they're amazing

like you love her characters because she does such a great job and she's so she's so awkwardly sweet and all that stuff but her character and the lost daughter makes you

question loving her and wanting her as a sympathetic lead character she did that pretty well in Fleabag she was not a great person in that

Oh, that's a good point as the new, the stepmom. The stepmom. She was awful. Oh, we need something new with Phoebe Waller Bridge. I miss Phoebe Waller Bridge. Is she doing a new, well, speaking of, speaking of what's her name in the Killin' Eve, she makes that, right? And she's a writer on that or something?

Yeah, she's a writer, but I want on screen, winking at the camera, breaking the fourth wall. She's got a new season coming, I think, at some point. A flea bag? Are they doing another flea bag? Thought so. I thought I heard there was three. You always do things in three. That's how you kill Bowser.

You hit them three times. I thought I heard that Fleabank was done. Oh, well, that would sadden me to hear that. It saddens me, too. That shows funny. I've never heard my wife laugh as hard as she did when we watch that. She laughed so hard. Did you watch the one where they're like all, I think it's called crashing,

but they're all crashing in a old abandoned hospital? An episode of Fleabag? No, it was a series, a Phoebe Waller Bridge series. Oh, I don't know. I haven't heard of that. I would watch it, though. I'm thinking that was what it was called. I know I can't remember.

I like her old. Yeah, British TV series called Crashing. One season of it, Phoebe Waller Bridge, a bunch of housemates, like, because rent is so high everywhere, they crash in a abandoned hospital. Oh, my gosh. Okay. And it's great. But it was only one season, and it was, uh, uh, so that'll, that'll satisfy your, your fleabag, uh, lack of fleabag sadness is watch crashing.

She wrote no time to die. Yeah. Yeah. What? I know. It's, it's great because we're getting so much Phoebe Waller Bridge, but we're not getting the few, Phoebe Waller Bridge that, that, that we want, you know? And she's doing a, yeah, she co-wrote, she co-wrote no time.

Oh, yeah, yeah. but still she's working on a she's a co-creator and writer of mr and mrs smith a television adaptation to mr and mrs smith that comes out this year so that's what she's working on um she's she's what is she's amazing i didn't another one you need to see is um oh no that's not her never mind oh no that is her yeah uh run which was an hbo movie with uh donald greeze donald greeze donald Gleason. Gleason. I work so hard on getting the first name right. Donald Gleason and Merritt Weaver, where one of them texts the other one, the word run, and they both meet at, it's their cue to meet at a train station. Oh, yeah. She wrote that.

She wrote that, and she even appears in a couple episodes of it. And, again, another one, it's like, yeah, watch that. If you have not watched that. Well, I'm just going to go ahead and say it. She's stupid, talented. She is. She might be my favorite British creator right now. She's so good.

Well, all right. Donal. Okay, thank you, Claire. She's written the word donal in pronunciations like eight different times. Yeah, let me guess, though. Is it all, oh, it is all caps. That's weird. It is all caps.

Isn't that surprising? Yeah. I'm shocked by that. I can't even believe it. Weird. All right then. Well, there you go. Look forward to your Oscars coming soon to a TV near you.

When do they air? how long do I have to watch because I'm going to try and watch not just the three directing, or I'm sorry, the three best picture movies, but also want to get the acting and directing March 27th. All right. You got time.

Yeah, March 27th. It might be all you do. You know what I mean? I'm going to be coming back from pinball land on March 27th. Oh, wait, pinball. Oh, right. Yeah, that's freaking March. Dallas Pinball. So wait a minute. When do you go to, you're going a Disney hoo-hah soon. When's that?

First week, first week of March. Okay, yeah, yeah. You got a busy March. That's what you got. You don't have your, you don't have all my replacements lined up. Come on, Scott. I have all your itinerary. I got to talk to some people and get that done. All right. Well done, everybody. Now this. We got time for A Story, and it's

brought to you by. Diego Van Cotsfeld. A patron says, hey, I have a YouTube channel for my casual gaming with my kids and digital drawing. where I record while streaming live on Twitch, go to tiny URL.com slash Diego does games. Awesome. That's very cool.

Yeah. I made that tiny URL for him because of YouTube was huge and I didn't. Good for you. Well, you know, you think ahead for these things. We do things for our patrons that normally people don't do. We do all sorts of stuff for them. They're great. By the way, when you came up with that tiny URL,

did you think of the fact that the first two words, if you read them differently, are die God, OES games. Yes, I did. But the problem is Diego, Diego Games, Diego, YouTube, all these were taken. And so I had to settle. But yes, I did read DiGod, OS games. All right. Here's your one and only story for the day.

It's a real treat. A Foot Locker employee, you know, they wear the stripes and they look like a ref and everything over there at the Foot Locker. Yeah. They still do that? Is that a thing in Foot Locker? They got to look like a ref. I think so. Yeah.

I mean, are there still foot lockers? That actually is the bigger question. I seem so. Yeah, they're never going to get rid of that uniform, that outfit. Okay. Well, then this guy, just picture, this is part of the visual, so picture that. Footlocker employee allegedly ejaculated into sneakers while he was at work. That's a foul.

It is a foul. It's a personal foul. Yellow card. Sneakers are known to inspire passion, but this is ridiculous, says this article. A footlocker employee was a little. allegedly having a sex with and, let's say, finishing the deed with a pair of sneakers. But here's the extra gross part, is that an employee, employee put the sneakers back in the boxes and put that back in the stock. So, you know, his, his man, his man semen is in the, is in the box somewhere.

A video of the man engaging in self-love in a storage room, a foot locker. went viral this week for all the wrong reasons. Actually, there's no good reason. Reportedly, there is footage of... No, I'm not reading that part. Let's just say there's some very detailed footage. Let's say that. Okay, all right.

As you can see, I'm... Read that sentence and tell me you want to read that out loud. Yeah. I don't know. It's just surprises. You know what? I'll read it out loud because I think it's... You're missing an opportunity for you to say this word in a very fun way.

Like this. Reportedly, there is footage of the ejaculate... In the sneaker's insoles. See? See, you need an opportunity. I hate the word ejaculate. I hate it. It's just nasty.

Anyways, you can see we're at Full Locker here. There's nobody else here. Oh, shit. I am fully completely 100% sexy and naked, said the sneaker freak in the clip. So he's on video saying this. He went, let's see, it went down in Ontario, Canada. Oh, it isn't, it's not Florida, is it? Oh, interesting.

Oh, well, it is. know he turned those he turned those new balances into goo balances uh-huh uh uh he uh put the sick in the a six there you go you did it uh he uh hold there's got another one there's got be more there's got be more yeah threes law of threes let's get it in here no oh there's something come why am i there's something with rebuck good lord rebuck rebuck just feels like You had me with, come on, come on, Reebok. All right. Foot Locker is aware of the footage and issued this statement.

Quote unquote, Foot Locker is committed to operating with the highest ethical standards, and this type of behavior is not tolerated. We are aware of the incident and we are taking appropriate steps to address the situation. I'm not saying they meant to put the word steps in there and they're a shoe store. I'm just saying maybe they did. However, you know, yesterday, when we were talking about the brawl at the golden corral over steak, and I brought up, you know, you get to the meat of the story, Cleo said they had a beef. I think Tristan wins because he said, last night, came up with this, like, as soon as I told him the story,

he said, wow, that is some prime golden corral. That's good. It's prime golden corral for you. That is good. That's very good. Well, well done, Tristan, and well done article for making us all squirm a little bit here in the show. And well done, Foot Locker employee for, you know. Yeah, whatever you did.

I don't want those shoes. I don't like Nike's, is what I would say about there. That's right. All right, we're out of here for a minute while we play a song. And that song will be presented by Brian. After that, we're going to be hanging out with Bill, a little bit of time with Bobby. So stick around. Brian, why you play that song for us?

Yeah. Oh, man, we're getting to play some Alt J. I love Alt J. They have a brand new album coming out this Friday called The Dream, and their tour starts at the end of this month, so you can see Alt J come to a place near you, potentially. Here's the brand new single from their brand new album. It is called The Actor. Breaktime for keelow on the back door on the back door

Hey Brian What was that song one more time? Sure, that song was The Actor by Alt J from their brand new album, The Dream, which comes out this Friday, Big Thanks, to Jim at Big Hassel. So Alt J is not short for alternate jazz or something, right? No, I don't know. It's something that you, if you do it on your keyboard, you automatically play his music, I think. Oh, just all, well, it's the shortcut key to play Alt J.

Okay, so if you're, but if you're on the Mac, everybody, option, just hit the option key. Use option. Yes, exactly. What does it do? What letter, what character does it do? Oh, I don't know. Let's do that. It's a delta symbol or the triangle.

Oh, yeah, look at that. You know what? I always forget what this does over here with the... Oh, yeah, the whole alphabet has some stuff you do. Yep. I never mess with these other keys. Gifts. It's all your glyphs.

It's all your glyphs. There used to be a keyboard for that. Is there still like a little graphical one that would pop up? There is. You can... Um, what is it? It's under view, no. Is that still a thing?

Fontbook. I think font book pulls it up on the Mac. Oh. I pull it up in, uh, Photoshop when I need one. And then I just double click on the glyph I want. It plops it wherever I want it. The only one I always remember is option three. No, no, no, no.

Sorry. Option two is it? Yeah. Yeah. And then option R is registered. Uh, yeah, like a little, uh, registered trademark. Circle with the R in it. Yeah.

And copyright is something. similar, but I can't find it. Anyway. Sense, I think, is option C? Is that? No, it's, what is it? I used to have to do this, like... Ah, shoot. I used to know that. Option four?

Option four, yeah. Option four, yeah. Option four is sense. Oh, yeah, look at that. There it is. Yeah. Many pennies. All right. Let's, uh, let's, uh, keyboard time's over. Time for Bill. That's right. As much as we enjoyed it, and we did. Bill's got to come in here and show us something else we can enjoy. So sit back, relax, and enjoy his appearance here on the morning stream. Where the hell is this thing? Here it is.

Your bat caves open there, Bill. Hey, Bill's on the show who comes on here every Tuesday and talks about making stuff because he is a world classmaker and shows his wares over there at PunishProps.com and, of course, his YouTube channel at Punish Props. Bill, welcome back to the show. How are you? Hello, doing good. Oh, that's great.

I got a really fun topic that I can't believe I haven't talked about before. I want to talk about video games where you get to make stuff crafting games gosh I can't think for the life of me I just can't think of what Bill might have been doing this week that prompted this

yeah I know so tell tell everybody about it because I'm excited for you because that game is rad that you've been playing yeah so Brittany and I started playing satisfactory it's in early release I guess whatever it feels pretty done to me

it's close they're in their like fifth maybe even their final before full release but this thing's been in early access for like three and a half years now so it's pretty close they're almost done

I like that I like that name though I don't know anything about this game but Satisfactory it's a game you make stuff in that's great

yeah there are moments like it keeps happening where out loud you'll say oh man that's really satisfying mm-hmm oh yeah

big time yeah picture it like this Brian it's like you know these games where you're kind of in God mode factorialio style

where you're up above your your place and you're building your different required buildings and you're putting you know what do you call conveyor belts between them and it's like all right I'm mining for gold and that gold converts to bricks and those bricks convert to whatever and you know like that with Estroneer right now yeah yeah there's a bit of that in there exactly this is this is that but in first person and it's massive just massive factory you build this the crazy automation it's it's insane it's really neat The scale gets, that's something you don't appreciate when you start the game, because you start with like a, like a chisel, like chipping out one piece of ore at a time, right?

And now I'm like, I don't deal with ore in anything less than a complete stack of 500. Yeah, yeah. The scale just goes out of. Now, I'm guessing, this is what I'm going to guess, you're very good at organizing your factory. I am not. Oh, well, I've rebuilt my factory. three times. Yeah, that'll, that'll happen.

The third one, the third one is pretty tidy, but there does come a point where you're like, like, I try not to let anything intersect one another. I want it to look real tidy. But every once in a while, I'm like, I just need to get concrete over there. Mm-hmm. And I'll just run a conveyor through something. I don't care. But no, my, my, my, my factory is quite, quite tidy.

I'm sure it is. Great. Look at this. Yeah, that's a really, really cool game. It's, uh, they launched it first on. on Epic and then later on Steam

and now they're in both places and they update it all the time. They have trains. You've got a full like nuke trained thing that you can get to. There's elevators and stuff now. Like it's insane.

And you just pick like a biome. You're like, oh, okay, I like this biome. These different planets and some are harder than others and then you just start building and before you know it's 4 a.m. And you wonder what you did with your life.

It's crazy. Yeah. Holy crap. So Brittany and I play together. We've played a lot of different crafting-type games together. And it's awesome also having, always having a partner in these types of games. So, like, I'll be working on the factory, but we'll be doing research. It's really, really great. Let me ask you a quick question about your, when you're refining stuff with the initial factory

and you have to manually hold down the hammer button and all that. I have an older cough switch that's kind of heavy that goes on the floor. Yeah. But it's not currently being used. and because the space bar is the button you can hold along you can do the mouse button if you want but a space bar does the same thing instead of sitting there holding it i put that little weight on my space bar like i can walk away for a while and let it do what it has to do yeah i used i used a tin of mints and my phone as like a little lever to press the space bar now then i found out that you can just tap the space bar and it toggles it on and you don't have to do that anymore that's amazing yeah the uh and i can Go make breakfast. Yeah, that used to be not the case. He used to have to manually hold it no matter what.

And they finally caved because fans were like, look, we understand how you want to make this seem like a really manual process. But come on, it's a video game. Give us a chance. So that's good to hear that they did that. Well, anyway, so ultimately your goal is what? Dominate the world and have all the iron and everything. And there you go. You have your space elevator and you've got to send manufactured parts into the space elevator and they get sent up a tip.

The company that owns all this. I fix it is what it's called. So you have these really lofty goals. And it's like you need 500 of this crazy thing that takes forever to make. And you have to figure out a system to make that. And it takes a long time. Yeah. When you finish it, you might call it satisfactory when you're done.

Yeah. So satisfied. Yeah, yeah. It's like, so it's like the best Lego and Erector set and Tinker Toy and Lincoln Logg all wrapped into one. Yeah. And so since we played a ton of these crafting games, I'm familiar with all these different systems, and I'm really impressed with the way satisfactory works. Because you have to place every little thing.

But there's a mode where you can zip and do a whole line of walls. So it's a lot faster. And then if you have to erase something, you get, you have a tool for that. It's really responsive, and you get everything back. You just get all the materials back. So building something and then taking it down, then rebuilding it again is like no big deal. It used to be worse, though. In the early days of this game, they didn't have any deconstruction.

So whatever you made stayed, and it was a huge pain in the butt. A nightmare. Come a long way, yeah. Long way since then. I find that these games, like, satisfy my creative itch a little bit, too. It's really good. Oh, yeah. It gets you, I don't know what the word is.

For a game that's so mechanic, like, it's very mechanical. It's also just crazy immersive. Yeah. You just feel like you're there, and I don't know if it's the first person view or whatever it's doing it, but it's really cool. I needed more screws, so I set up a screw factory that fed my main factory, right? So this sort of secondary building down the hill. And I, you know, I set up my ore going in there and smelters and everything, and it's cranking out screws. And then I just, I built walls around it, put up some nice windows.

I made a roof I put a skylight in the roof This is all unnecessary Yeah you don't need any of it We'll get you any extra No Get you further in the game No not really

But there's a There's the progression's really great As things sort of The scale builds And you end up with downtime When you're waiting for things To manufacture And then you're like

Oh cool I'll go spruce up something I'll go spruce up Make I'll tidy up some lines or I'll Like when you end up having downtime There's always something you could be doing and I'll explore the um some of the more cosmetic things right you can get different you know walls different and I have and that that part is deeply satisfying to me that creative part I need I get to make this building look however I want and the system supports it

really well yeah it's really good too and that you mentioned it kind of earlier but it's important to note like if you've made a really complex bunch of conveyor belts all feeding into one factory or into storage or whatever it may be and you're like I really hate how narrow I've made this space, you just go and you'll stop production for a bit while you do it, but you can just tear it apart and fix whatever you needed to. And then you're back in business and you didn't lose anything. And I don't know, there's something really satisfying about. Yeah, it's a good mix of stuff. Yeah. So I wanted to just quick rattle off a couple other good examples of ones that I've enjoyed. Like there's like Minecraft and Terraria are obvious.

Yeah. So Minecraft was kind of the proto survival crafting. game. Actually, I'd love seeing, I think Joel Duggan has been working on this medieval town for a long time. Yeah, he keeps adding on. It's amazing what he's done. It's really cool. It's so cool to see that sort of thing. And, of course,

you can make sculptures in the game, but you can also program stuff with Redstone if that's your jam. It's crazy what's possible. But Raft, we played recently, and that one is super fun. Yeah, Raft is good. A fun adventure. You have to build your raft. one little segment at a time and our wrapped ended up being like five stories tall and a little

bedroom there's tons of decoration and customization options yeah uh and the story is really fun and it's one of the one of the few games were actually enjoyed well i enjoy everything except the shark but there's a mode where you can turn all that stupid shark stuff off yeah bruce can go straight to hell yeah bruce is a dick but it's a cool that's a really cool game we talked about it on core and John. John played probably more of it than any of us, but it was such an interesting take on this whatever this John is. I played it

through twice with Britt and I'll play through again, I know because they keep adding to it. It's just so good. Valheim is very similar although I think the building in Valheim is just phenomenal. There's a subreddit. If you're interested, if Valheim builds subreddit where people share the things

they make in that game and it's insane. It's just completely insane with people. I would play Valheim way more if I liked the survival parts of Valheim and the fighting and I wish it was just me building stuff and I know you can like there's command lines to go in God mode and just do whatever you want but I wish the game was less

about fighting bosses and whatever. Right. And that's something satisfactory has. There's very little combat. Every once in a while you have to like fend off a creature or whatever but there's not really a lot of combat in that game which I tend to lean more towards that. Same. Same.

And then, Brian, you mentioned Astroneer. Oh, my goodness. Brittany and I played that game like three times. Yeah. It's the coolest toy set ever, right? It really is. Like, I can make little rovers with little trailers and... Yep, and they look like little toys.

They look like, you know, so great. Yeah, so far I've unlocked the core of three planets. I'm working on all seven. If you ever, seriously, at any point, if you're playing that game and you want a hand, give me a call any time of day. And I will join you and I will help you collect. minerals. Nice. And I mean this.

Yeah. Astroner is awesome. I love to play Astonair with you. Very, very cool. And do you feel like as a guy who makes actual real stuff in real life playing something like this fuels you in that regard? Or you feel like it, like, what effect does it have on you as someone who builds, actually builds things?

You know what I mean? Definitely a, it is a positive influence on my creative loop, I would say. my creative process because I go through well at least for me when I was a maker I go through periods of I need to be actively making stuff with my hands and then I need to be taking photos of that thing

and then there's a period where I'm like I need a break from that that was a lot and in that time that's where I'm like I need to be inspired I need to watch maker YouTube channels I need to play maker video games because all of that just feeds my creative loop and after that I'm like

all right I'm ready to make stuff with my hands again And it just, I just go through that cycle constantly. And the creative video games are a huge part of it. Well, you got me to reinstall it. So nice job. Well, cool. Well, all right then. So there you go, everybody.

You want to get a little taste of that. There are plenty of these. Factorio is another really good example. It's this 2D. It's basically a 2D version of this that kind of, in some ways, I think satisfactory lifted a lot of those ideas and just said, well, let's make a big 3D version of this. The other good one is, oh, I can't remember now.

developed in China. It's almost done. People love it. I forgot the name. Someone in the chat, remember. It's real good, though. You're a little robot, and you run around building stuff.

Oh, something's sphere. Oh, Dyson sphere. That game is really good. People are telling me about that one, too. I haven't checked it out yet. Yeah, it's very, very good. Different perspective, obviously, than this,

but it's... Bad news is I still have a lot of satisfaction very to play. I'm about 50 hours in, and I predict another a hundred hours at least oh easy yeah and this thing's like they've still got updates they've still got stuff they want to do with it you're yeah you're in good and i guess they just added some controller support to it for those that prefer controllers uh it's i tried it i don't love

the controller support yet but they're it's just getting refined so you know your your mileage may vary but you can get it wherever you get your games uh but you're getting a little bonus content for us today or what yeah um my buddy bob over I like to make stuff, is working on restoring a Carmen Gia. Oh, my mom used to have a Carmen Gia. Those are so cute. They really are. And he built a basically a rotisserie for the car body so they could lift the car body off of the frame and rotate it so they could work on the car body.

And I think that's cool. Oh, my God, look at that. That's so awesome. Growing up, my dad and me and my brothers restored a 68 Volvo P-1800 sports car. It's the coolest little car. and we did this, but we didn't have rotissary. We just had to lift that thing off by hand because he had three teenage boys to help him.

Yeah. This would have been so much nicer. Man, my dad, I mean, died in 2000, but had he been around for the YouTube age? This sort of stuff, this is all he would do is watch this stuff all day. He loves this sort of thing. I'm terrible at it, and I look at this and go,

well, that's a bunch of work I don't want to do. But for people who are into this, man, what a cool thing that is. well there you go go rotate go rotate your own car everybody and learn how on this channel i like to make stuff which you can stuff there it is hey bill uh have a great week oh punchprops dot com everybody don't forget that and of course chin beard on twitter and go go support your favorite YouTuber who makes things in that that case it's bill hey bill have a great week and we'll see you next time

see yeah bye now see you oh man carmengee i haven't heard that in about i know yeah There's a name I haven't heard. It feels like a long time. Maybe it hasn't been that long. I don't know. All right. Hey, what do you, Hey, Brian.

Hey. Do you know everything about the science world? Are you familiar with everything? Clearly I don't. Especially when it comes to blowing on windows. Well, good news. Science. Here to fix all of that is one Bobby Frankenberger who joins us from South

Carolina, as he does every Tuesday, and we talk a little science. Hi, Bobby. Welcome back. Hey, thanks for welcoming me. Yeah, you're always welcome. Real quick, let's get that out of our system. The thing with the glass and the breathing on it and putting your finger in it and whatever, I think we determine through... Not enough DNA to get a DNA profile, but it does have... I mean, look, you know, as Bronco pointed out in our email...

mail we're wearing masks right now because when we breathe we're sending out little virus particles with our spit so yeah which i don't know why i didn't think of that either on sunday when we recorded right right exactly you're depositing hot air that came from inside your lungs so yeah so so so i guess what i'm saying is do you think it would be gross you're not going to lick a wind nobody should lick a window nobody should lick a window now if you're going to do it go ahead and then do a finger it's your it's your spit it's your finger it's your lung juice, who cares? Right? Lung juice.

Lung juice. It's condensed lung air, right? Because like it's, it's whatever's already. It's already, it was in your mouth once before it touched the window. Yeah, but it's like a hair. Everybody wants, everybody likes their hair until one of them is in a, in your pizza. And then you're like, I can't eat that pizza because there's a hair in it. Right. Well, your hair was, I don't want it. Yeah. My hair was never in my hair. My hair was never in my hair. mouth to begin with though well that's true unless you're uh unless you're my wife who chewed her hair when she was really young and then she got an appendicitis from it so there's that and your hair really picks up tons of stuff from the environment i've learned this since having long hair now like like i'll cook something and then hours later that night i'll turn my head and my hair will flop in front of my face and i can smell like spaghetti yeah or garlic or garlic

or like whatever I cooked that night. It's like it's in the air and it's in your hair. And you just I just never had hair long enough to notice. Everybody who has long hair, I'm sure, experiences this, but it was just like... Also, isn't that the whole point of hair is to filter stuff?

It's to keep you warm, right? Like, the evolutionary need for hair, I don't think your hair is there to filter stuff. You don't think so, like... Not the hair on your head, but the hair in your nose and stuff like that is. Your nose or stuff like that. So the one in your... So all the hair is...

So that's interesting, right? What's it filtering it for? So Brian has no filters, what we're saying. He's got zero filter. Yeah, the people behind me on the roller coaster is what my hair would be filtering. Yeah. If you puked, some of it would get caught in your hair and would protect the people behind it. Bobby, look, if you got real sick one time, I'd hold your hair back, Bobby.

I'd do that for you. Thanks. I would. That's going to be really useful in Vegas, I think. I'm going to take you up on it. I would hate it, but I would do it. I would totally do it. Well, all right.

Forget about all that. That's science behind us. Let's look at science in front of us. What are we doing? What are you got today? What are we talking about? Surprisingly, we might be talking in a way about science behind us because the CDC has just on February 4th announced that they're now publicly logging SARS-CoV-2 virus levels in sewage around the U.S. Oh, that's lovely.

So what does that mean? And how should I prepare my sewage? Well, you're preparing it every day if you have a regular bowel for the CDC to be able to check it out. Basically, what they're doing is they're just checking, in certain sites around the country, they're checking the sewage for, you know, levels of virus. For COVID, it's sort of an early, early detection system for determining

the trends of up and down movement of whether surges are coming or dissipating or going away and apparently there's been a lot of research that's been done that shows that you can identify things like upcoming

surges and new variants in wastewater, much more quickly than you can from analyzing testing samples from COVID tests that are done at like at like those public testing sites. Oh, that makes sense to me. I mean, it sounds gross and everything, but the truth of it is like you have a big sample size from major populations that is there no matter what. So you didn't have to organize this. You didn't have to do special studies, get blood drawn.

You didn't have to go through all that stuff to do it. So you have your sample and your quick turnaround. And if it's reliable data, I guess that's the only key here, right? It just has to be reliable data. And that seems like a pretty great way to do it. And they've been doing this for a little while, and that's what they had to figure out was they had to do the studies,

do the research, crunch the numbers, and find out if it actually, if detecting SARS-CoV-2, virus in sewage, if detecting it there, was actually correlating with what was going on in the real world, right? So what they did know is that 40 to 80% of people with COVID shed viral DNA or viral RNA in their poop. And that the interesting thing is that that shedding of the RNA happens almost immediately after you get infected, definitely before symptoms show. Oh, interesting.

why this is so useful is that it could potentially show up much more quickly than we are than we can reasonably detect it in people you know and we're because we're not testing people usually you don't get tested unless you're showing symptoms right right yeah that the entire testing process is even if the testing process is running at peak efficiency it's still kind of inherently inefficient because you're not going in until you feel sick some people don't go in it all because they're like ah it's just a cold some people just don't want to go like you know there's all these reasons why you might not be able to glean data from somebody who may have or have it in this particular case everybody's using the can everybody's flushing it down there every day and whether

you have it or not and whether you know it or not it doesn't matter the data is there right so that's that seems good i'm all for this poop tester deal this is good you know yeah they're uh they have about 400 wastewater sites around the country where they're testing people in this way and analyzing the data. It represents about 53 million people. There's places like Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Utah, actually has several around the Salt Lake area. They've got a bunch of wastewater testing sites, North Carolina, Virginia. But they're planning over the coming weeks to add 250 more now that this data has come out because the data shows that that testing monitoring the sewage is correlated with case rates and

hospitalization rates and test positivity so they can see when rates are going up in the sewage it's it's correlating very closely with when actual testing is showing that rates are going up and it's just we we notice ahead of time when we look at the sewage so this could be really cool also a parent Apparently, there were several of these monitoring sites that detected Omicron before actual cases of Omicron were detected in those same states. Interesting. So that's the whole thing about monitoring these things in order to maybe get early warning on different variants. We can start testing them ahead of time.

If we can detect surges ahead of time, maybe we can get hospitals in certain areas prepared before the surge happens. so that they can have bulk up their supplies sooner and stuff like that. But you said it exactly the reason that this is so helpful and makes sense is because of the fact that, you know, like the book says, everybody poops. And so it's when you're just looking at test sites, by nature, that is a self-selective. sample, right? Only the people who think they need to be tested are going to be tested, whereas this everyone is, in a way, everyone is being tested. Yeah, you don't have a choice unless you're, I ain't letting the government poke through my poop. I'm going to go out in the woods, you know, like I can see. My poop has constitutional rights. Getting violated. That's right.

I mean, I suppose you could try to hide your poo from the government, but or whoever this is doing this. But I guess it is the CDC and they're working with agencies and stuff. But, but yeah like it seems like a great i mean i just may it's hard to find silver linings in covid this is a good one as weird as the place it's coming from i think you know get silver lining from the sewer but hey whatever man like yeah and they think they want to extend this to other it could be extended to other um infectious diseases and everything the limitation the limitation is that it can't tell us exactly it can't tell us how many people in the population are infected. You know, you go on to like the CDC website and you can see how many people

in your area have been infected and everything. This can't really tell us that. It just looks at trends. It can tell us very well, are we about to see a surge? Because it looks like in the sewage, there's a big spike of COVID. Or is it finally, you know, dying down? Are we seeing this? What are we seeing right now? Like, what's the consensus of the current poo test? Do you know? So, yeah, it looks like, except for some really, so in areas where, and there's a map of this, if you go to, if you go on Google and just type in CDC wastewater surveillance or something like that, or CDC sewage COVID, you'll find that they have a tracker online. And in most places, it's starting to trend downward. The percentage change is going in a, in a negative direction. but what I mean by that is in a good direction, right? There are some areas that are certainly still seeing spikes and still going up

according to the data they have on these maps, but those, it looks like, just from me, just a quick look at the map I'm looking at right now, it looks like most of those areas are more rural areas, or less populated areas. And that makes sense because the large cities and very, very populated areas got, started to see Omicron and the surge hit them earlier. So you would expect that they would be ahead of the curve in terms of case rates going down

because it's moved through the population, right? Do they do any testing in South Carolina? Like with Dunaways, you know, he had COVID with his poo, make a scene over there? No, in South Carolina, there are two test sites that they're testing in South Carolina. and they're not near either me or Dunaway. Oh, man. Well, one of them's in Washington all the time, but, you know, Lindsay Graham can't be everywhere at once.

I understand. That poop, that poo filter is never at home. One day, one day me and Dunaway's poop will be in this data set. It will, indeed. I look forward to that day. To look forward to that day. Yeah, everyone just waint your turn. Well, all right, this is very cool.

I don't know why I find it so cathartic to hear this, but I do. I mean the more the better information we have the better we can handle things so it's it's good it's good for it to happen it makes me wonder so I didn't read anything about this and I don't this is just my speculation or me just wondering out loud it makes me wonder if if looking at the sewage is able to find this stuff after it's gone all the way through the sewage system and and you're looking at the wastewater plants what does that mean that we could use COVID tests up the bum to get a better and earlier

positive result. Oh, probably. I mean... Great. That's where they say... Can't wait for that swab. They tell you to put your... Oh, yeah, do that of the drive up. Hang your butt out the window. Exactly. Yeah. But like, you know, some kind of home test or something. I mean, as weird as it all sounds, if there's an accuracy jump there, then why not? You know? Yeah. You know, if we get 95% with the nose swab versus 100 with the butt. I think I'll still go for the 95%. Yeah. These test ones,

these spit ones aren't as reliable, right? Isn't that the deal? There's some with Bobby. There's false. You can get, I keep trying to look this information up, but it's hard to find because nobody wants you to know how reliable their tests are, right?

But I keep looking up like false positive or false negative rates, and it's hard to know. but I believe that false, false positives are more common. I don't know. I don't want to say that too much because I'm not really confident saying that out loud. Yeah. You yourself don't want to give a false positive.

Yeah, yeah, you don't want. They're pretty reliable. I think the issue is whether you as the user are doing it correctly. I think they're very reliable, like in the 90% range. reliable if you've gotten enough mucus in your sample and you've gotten it up for you know if you've done done it the right way but if you don't do it the right way that's that's where the real world reliability comes in you know like if you look at all the people who have actually done it how reliable is it and then I think that's when it starts to fall down to like 80% or so because a lot

of people are doing it and they're not realizing you need to you got to get plenty of mucus on there yeah you got to get up there yeah and sometimes that means getting it up there and you got to go to town, baby. Just imagine if it was in your butt. So here's a, here's a question. We had a thing recently, not that long ago, where our local government health department, whatever, was saying, hey, everybody, quit, maybe quit flushing your prescription, your expired prescription pills down the toilet because we're detecting higher than normal rates of whatever it may have been. I don't know what it was, fluoxetine or something in the, in the watershed. And I assume similar process, right? They're testing sewage.

and then going up, there's an uptick. We got to curb that deal or whatever. So, yeah. So don't flush your pills, by the way. Don't do that. It's bad. They're just specifically looking for the virus this time. So everything ends up in there.

Yes, don't flush your pills. You can take them to your pharmacist or to the pharmacy. They're set up to. Yeah, they have a junkie in the back. It'll just eat it. He just crushes it up and snorts it for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's great.

Our guy, we have, I know his name. His name is Jacob. He sits in the back. He's no shirt. He's just sitting back. there and he'll eat he'll eat whatever you got you got some old benzos he'll just eat them it's fine it's not a problem good the hope jake's listening how you doing jake anyway uh well this is great uh as always bobby nothing but smart stuff to talk about on tuesday's always fun what's going

on on your show so people can hear more uh well um our show all around science where we every week we talk about science news and just fun science stuff that we we find interesting we research it all and talk about it. This, yesterday's episode of All Around Science, we did, we talked about

how the solar system was formed. It's been around for a while, so you might take it for granted, but it wasn't always there. Yeah, I remember when it wasn't. Yeah. It's like, oh, wow,

now we have a new solar system to get used to. Interesting. It's like mid-80s. We were teenagers and busy. It was hard to, yeah, hard to pay attention. So we talked about how that happened

and, and also just some other stuff, some birds. We talked about birds. Birds. Shuffled their songs like a Spotify play. Oh, not like you're not one of those shows that's going to try to tell me that birds aren't real and they're all surveillance drones or whatever, right? You're not going to do that.

Birds are hoax. Led by the gay frogs. Liberal elite. That's frustrating. Because that was like a fake thing that was spread around and then people started really believing it and I don't know. Yeah, I know. See, this is a problem. We live in an era where nobody knows if

anything's true or not when people say, irony is dead and all that. So if you make something up that's just meant for making up, there will be a portion of people who walk away thinking who still believe it. Yeah, he still believe it. It's like my, you know, again, Andrew Smith's UFO here in Salt Lake. It's totally fake. He admitted it on the news, showed everyone what he built, and they still believe it's an UFO. So you're screwed either way. They just want you to believe that he's, he just said it's fake because that's what they want you to believe. That's right. That's what they want. But don't give them what they want, you guys. All right. Bobby's show, of course, all around science.

you can find it wherever you get your podcasts, and I recommend you do. Bobby, have a great week. We'll see you next time. Thank you. Bye now. He said thank you in a way that it sounded like he was in a drive-up, and I just gave him his food, doesn't it? Thank you. Thank you.

Pull forward. Second window. Thank you. That's it for the show today. That concludes our broadcast morning, and we hope you enjoyed yourselves. if you did, consider supporting us at patreon.com slash TMS and support the show because it's how you get it. If you're listening to it, that's how you're getting it to support. So head on over there now.

Patreon.com slash TMS for everything else. Frogpants.com slash TMS. Time for us to leave, but we can't do it without a song from Brian. So Brian, please deliver that song. Well, okay. Here I'm going to, I'm going to disappoint yet another listener. Oh, prepare yourself. Katie Jensen wrote in and said, my amazing husband's 40th birthday.

day is on February 6, it was a couple days ago, and he listens to your show all the time. This is the song that we dance to in our kitchen, and I know he'd crack up hearing it. Side note, I have no idea if the request date is the day I'm submitting the form in for or when I'm requesting it to be played, sorry. So I said that last part, to clarify, when you go to the TMS request form and it says request date, that's the date you'd like the request to be played. And make sure you put in the current year. I've had people who put in their birthday year, like say, oh,

hey, play this song by Kit Boga and do it on my birthday, and then they put the day that they were actually born, the year and everything. And when I sort this document, those appear way out of my view. So I never see them, and you're never going to get your stuff played. Just a little bit of background information for you. Now, Katie wanted to hear this song called Skibbitty by a band called Little Big. Little Big is a really weird Russian dance band. They are really weird.

Okay, I'm just going to say that. All right, weird. They're weird. Okay. But Skibbidi, sadly, is not a cover song, and I really want to play a cover song at the end here. However, last year, Little Big, this weird Russian dance band, released an album called Covers. Guess what that was all made up of? Covers, you guessed correctly.

In addition to covering the Backstreet Boys Backstreet's Back and Barbie Girl by Akla, they also did this amazing cover of the Ramon's Blitzkrieg Bob. Here is Russian dance band Little Big and their really weird cover of Blitzkrieg Bob. Oh, I like weird. So I'm glad you brought weird to the show. Nice. Some weird. You asked for weird. You got weird.

Excellent. Tomorrow, all the normal stuff. Okay, you guys. So come back. Less weird. Yeah, less weird tomorrow. Okay, we promise. That'll do it for us.

We'll see you then. Let's go, A-O! Let's go! A-O! Let's go! A-O! Let's go! The bombing in a straight line
