That's my safety word. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It is the morning stream for Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022. I'm Scott. He's Brian. Good morning, Brian.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Good morning, Scott. Happy Wednesday. We're halfway through the week. That's my hump day. B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-ha- Hey, what's everybody doing? We're frozen here. Brian's frozen there. We can't really do much in this horrible snow and cold. It's cold. No, it kind of sucks.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I mean, it is, I was telling Scott, it's negative two. What the heck? All right, so I'm looking the dude just drove by. The recycling truck just drove by, and I see my trash can now emptied, still sitting on the side. But there's a chunk of cardboard neck. to it. Like, they gave me some recycling. Did it? No, so it didn't fall out of yours? It must have
Starting point is 00:02:06 fallen out of the thing, but what's the deal with that? Yeah, and it's not... It's not supposed to happen. So it wasn't your cardboard that just fell out of your can. They dropped somebody else's cardboard out of their thing onto your area. You're good at driving the recycling truck. You're not good at taking the recycling.
Starting point is 00:02:22 You got half of it done. He took nor left recycling. Yeah, no kidding. We put out, you guys have this, nope, you do it today, we do it yesterday. We have a slight, we're off by a day when it comes to our recycling and trash. You're a Tuesday, yours is Tuesday as ours is Wednesday. But you do the same day for trash and recycling, right?
Starting point is 00:02:42 Yeah, yeah, both go out. Yep. That would be dumb if they did it separate days, wouldn't it? I mean, maybe it would because it's two trucks. I mean, it's two trucks. And it's two trucks. It's different bins. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:53 And I think different destinations, except now we don't send anything to China because for whatever reason we used to, now we don't. So they say, we can only take cardboard with no paint on it. Okay, what else? That's it. That's all we can recycle now. That's what we can't, yeah. Really? Because I've been told for years he'd do bottles and cans and all this other.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Well, that was China. They did it. Now they don't. What the hell? We live in a hellscape. I just hate that our recycling company doesn't take styrofoam. It seems like every other one does, right? And they've got styrofoam with the little symbol on it.
Starting point is 00:03:29 but um same same here and it used to be they did they don't now yeah yeah used to be they did and now it's like oh okay so whatever you were doing is better now than me just putting in the trash we need is it's better for me to just put in the trash that's what we need is smart robots who can sort this stuff and figure it out because damn it the humans aren't getting it right all right yeah and it makes me yeah it's every two weeks for recycling for us too oh we get it every week weird It's weekly for your recycling? I wish it was weekly because we get a lot of boxes here, Scott. A lot of Amazon boxes come to this house, believe it or not.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Yeah. It's surprise you. Same here. We get plenty of those. In fact, I feel like that's kind of sad, but that's most of our recycling of those stupid Amazon boxes. Exactly. You guys all wonder why Bezos can buy a $500 million yacht. Gosh, I wonder.
Starting point is 00:04:24 A giant penis rocket. Yeah. Yeah, just trying to imagine what 1995 me would have thought of 2022 me and, like, all the stuff I get via Amazon, what, the book company? Which wasn't even around 1995, but. When we were kids, you and I were kids, we were used to that six to eight weeks thing. Remember that? Yeah, exactly. And you had to send, like, that was not including the time you had to mail your money to the place to get the thing you wanted.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I had to get those Star Wars cardboard backings, cut them all out, and put them in an envelope to send away from my Boba Fett action figure, which would come maybe three months later. Yeah, the X-ray vision glasses I'd see in the back of some comic book. I would order those and see them in eight weeks, and it was okay because that's what it was. And we're only talking about the 80s here, guys. It's not that long ago. It's not that long ago. It's crazy where we're at today.
Starting point is 00:05:22 It's crazy. So do we even, like, what were landfills back? back then tiny little spaces no big deal because today where is us all going yeah my gosh it's so bad there's so much more i don't know i mean the landfills just were more stuff because we're recycling less yeah i guess so yeah but yeah that's a good point but just the sheer volume now like everything's packaged it didn't always used to be that way so everything's got a package hell you buy lettuce today it comes in a it comes in a thin plastic wrap like everything's packaged so I just have to think, I'm sure there's numbers, and if I know Captain Kipper, he's about to find them.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Either hip or AV Tech John. One of them is Googling right now to get us some information. Yeah, you guys find that. I'd love to know what, like, just the sheer volume of it today versus, say, 85. Give me a comparison. If you really miss that long delay of ordering something and then finally getting it, just go on to Kickstarter and back something. Yeah, do that. I think everything should be wrapped in rice paper.
Starting point is 00:06:25 because it just biodegrades. Just throw that. Oh, God, do you remember the first time you got something from, oh, what were those sites? Mac Tech or 9 to 5 Mac or something like that. Like there were these sites where you would get your zip drives and things like that. And they would come, when they started using the wheat-based, I think they were wheat-based popcorn packing peanuts. And you throw them in the toilet and just watch them go, Oh, those are cool.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Oh, Tiger Direct. Yeah, I'm a two, but Tiger Direct, baby. Yep, that manual or that catalog, I always had a lady with a little headset on the front going. Yes, excited to take your call. Yeah, she was stoked every time she was. Would you like a new jazz drive? It holds a gigabyte. A gig, that's impossible amount of space.
Starting point is 00:07:19 No one will ever fill a gigabyte of space. Right, right. All right. Oh, I course sent this, that giant plastic monstrosity that's under the water out in the Pacific, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Man, that is gnarly. There's going to be someday where we, I don't know, pull that up and we're all going to be horrified. It's just going to be the worst.
Starting point is 00:07:40 There'll be bodies in there. They'll be freaking, it'll be 90% condoms or something weird. It's just gross. What a gross thing. I think what we need is, so what we got to do is we've got to have the spaceship that scoops it up. in a net and just takes off right to the sun and drops it off. Yep, yep, or fly around it and turn back time. And then we figure out, oh, I guess a lot of stuff shouldn't be burned.
Starting point is 00:08:06 And now we have a big green cloud. Oh, no, I didn't think of that. The solar system. We always think, oh, just send it right into the sun. But you're not thinking about what the sun would then do with it. Exactly. It'll come right back to us. Make a trash moon.
Starting point is 00:08:19 I like that. Make a trash moon. Oh, you know what? Don't even make a trash. Okay, I see what he's saying. Like the body, the body of the trash would become the moon. All the trash. We put it just up in space and let it collect up there.
Starting point is 00:08:31 The problem with that is it gets big enough, it can alter, like, you know, the course of other small bodies. Right. You could have a change tides and stuff like that. Yeah, we can't have that. So here's what you do instead. We fly it all the way over to I.O. It doesn't have to be right. It could be another moon.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Yeah. Just take it to another moon. and just dump it on I.O. Who cares? That place is a dump. No one's ever going to go there. I mean, look, I love the expanse as much as the next guy, but we're not putting a base on I.O. Okay?
Starting point is 00:08:59 It's not happening. All right. Exactly. Yeah, we're serious. Hey, you sent me a thing, and then I forgot the person's name. I'll find it while you talk about. I want to play this. Yeah, this is great.
Starting point is 00:09:12 So the one part of the wordle craze, which, you know, is kind of dying down now because now that corporate America owns it, nobody gives a shit. But, or they give less. of one, but no one ever thinks about this. So we have accessibility options on our phones these days, where if, you know, if I'm blind, let's say, one of the options I get is if my mother texts me, I can, my phone will read to me what she says, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Hello, honey, I hope you're doing well, and ba, blah, blah, blah. And you just get the message. Well, what about your... This came to us from Michael Bullman. Michael Bullman. All right. Now, what if you wanted... Not to be confused with Michael Bolton.
Starting point is 00:09:51 You're right, no, don't ever This is the story The Reverend Jack Sparrow You know what? Best song you ever sang, by the way, I love that. Without a doubt. I actually think that song actually kind of slaps. I really like it.
Starting point is 00:10:07 It does, yeah. I know it's a parody for me. Because I was ready to just write him off. It's really good. I don't know why. But anyway, so what if you wanted, like my kids every day are posting their wordal scores on a text chain, what if we wanted to have accessibility options where our voice assistant
Starting point is 00:10:25 reads to us those scores? And it's not really equipped to do it, as you will hear in the following clip. Here it is trying to read a wordal score on this. This was somebody's Android phone or his Android phone, the person you just mentioned. And this is how it sounded. 40 and 5.6. Black large square, yellow, square, green square four. Black large square emojis.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Three, green square emojis. two black large square emojis three green square emojis two black large square emojis eight green square emojis that was hard listen people black large square emojis matter okay they do they do don't forget there is there is important as any other squares and emojis but uh so that was great for two reasons one that's ridiculous and two i love that i could hear him kind of trying to hold back a laugh through the whole thing right right right that you know that he wasn't recording it the first time he played it like to you know the first time he heard it so that was the second time hearing it at least because he had to record it to send it to us yeah and how great is that i mean i would have it's awesome so thank you for thinking of us and sending that in that was that was amazing and next time i'll remember to write your name down uh all right uh also had a weird experience yesterday i just want to share this real quick and then we'll get to babel royale we got a feud to play today uh went to the break over here this bar pub food place that we really like it's just also very close it's literally like two blocks
Starting point is 00:11:54 I can walk to it part of us like community we live near and uh I that's where Hammond and I went to lunch last week often if I have meetings with people that's where we'll go because the food's awesome um and it's a bar and it's very barry like if you Brian you'd love this place I think because it's like I don't know it just screams your name and they have like an arcade in the back room and upstairs like a like what do you not shuffleboard um shoot i forgot the name of it there's a anyway they have like these old school bar things it feels like a cheers bar except there's you know tvs thing is just describe the game come on describe that game that you you're getting ready to wave off it's like um it's not it's not the shuffleboard with like the puck that you slide down
Starting point is 00:12:38 a little uh long table maybe well i always thought shuffleboard was a thing you stood and did is that not true on a on a cruise ship you do right you've You've got sticks and you've got pucks and you push them down on the Lido deck. But in bars, it's still called shuffleboard where you've got the little pucks and it's a long, a long wooden board with cornmeal tossed on there and you try and get as close to the end. That's it. Yeah. That's totally it. I didn't realize that would also be a shuffleboard.
Starting point is 00:13:05 That is also called shuffleboard. All right. Because my stereotype is old people on a boat playing shuffleboard. Yeah, it is. Yeah, no, we had a great time playing that in San Francisco last year when I went. their, uh, for Chris Brown's 60th birthday. Ah, very nice. Oh, that was just that last recent trip.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yeah. It was, yeah. Took over a bar that had a shuffleboard table. And me and all of his brothers played, uh, played shuffleboard and drank. Wow. It was really good. That's really cool. Uh, so it was, it's like that kind of place.
Starting point is 00:13:35 And it's very cool. Awesome. The way it's lit. Amazing. Just a really awesome kind of sportsy bar thing. Uh-huh. And the food's really good. It's always been good there.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Um, and so Kim, and I. We go there yesterday. We're just like, we're going to grab lunch real quick before she had to go take Carter downtown for work stuff. So we're like, all right, we're going to go in there. And by the way, this place is completely the mask. Masks, forget it. We're done. Everyone's done. They're done. So we're it is, but that's exactly we're seeing here too. And I joked, you know, I joked yesterday that it was me and Tina. No, it's, it's, it's the city of Denver basically said, like, oh, no, no, we're in this thing for the long haul. We're playing it safe. We're blue state. We're got a, you know, We got to really make sure that we do our part to keep the spread of code.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Oh, what? We don't have more masks anymore? Oh, okay. Yeah, and everyone took off their masks. Is there a fire nearby? I can throw my masks into it just. Yeah, there was a bit of that. There's a bit of that going on here.
Starting point is 00:14:30 And kind of everywhere. I know everyone's sick of it. But, you know, you and I have a close friend who just lost somebody to COVID. And it's a nice reminder that's still kind of gnarly. But anyway, the point is, what was the old? So the point is we go in there. We walk in with masks, take them off the table. No big deal.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Put them in our pocket. Sure. Sure. The waitress. Sorry, server is the more appropriate thing now, right? You don't say waitress anymore, right? I think server is the appropriate term, yeah, which feels wrong to me. It also feels wrong, yeah, I don't like it either.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Server. Serve me. Serve me. What can you call them? Hospitality expert. I don't know, whatever. Yeah, right. Food delivery person.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Stewardess, this pops and McLean, yeah. Yeah, that won't get you in trouble at all. So anyway, she comes up to a very lovely young lady. super pretty probably in her 20s wearing the giant it's a big bK shirt even though that to me I think Burger King but it's for short for the break anyway she comes up to us and my first thought was because I'm weird was I'll bet she smells like fried food like she's going to walk past me and it's going to be like this aura of fried like French fries and like shrimp fried this and that, because that's a lot of what the food is, I thought when she'd walk by, I would just get
Starting point is 00:15:50 blasted with this, like, she's been in this kitchen too long kind of thing. And I don't know why I thought that, because in my mind, I was like comparing she's, she's young and very attractive, but then she's going to have this, she's going to have this smell that is going to be fried food. I don't know why, just had this feeling. So she came walking by, and she goes, hey, y'all, she starts, she kind of had a southern thing going, which is fun, because, you know, Kim's from there and all that. And she starts, doing the thing. And it turns out 100%
Starting point is 00:16:20 backwards. She smelled like the most lovely kind of, I don't know what it was, the most amazing perfume smell ever. Uh-huh. It was really nice. And I thought, well, how are you avoiding? When she left, did you go,
Starting point is 00:16:36 hoo-ah? That's, that's, I just kind of went like, I said to Kim, I go, she smelled great. She goes, what are you doing smelling her? I said, I'm not like, lean and over, She just walked by and you can just kind of get the zone. That's such a weird thing to jump to. I agree.
Starting point is 00:16:53 I bet she smells like grease. Yeah, the person who sits in front of the fryer making French fries and deep frying fish and stuff like that, they are probably going to smell. But unless you're like right in front of it or unless the bar has really, really bad ventilation or just hasn't been cleaned in a while. Yeah. You know, she's going to smell, she's going to smell like she did when she got to work. I mean, when I worked at Chi-Chi's, I smelled like a burrito for weeks. I just always smelled like, I go to, it doesn't matter how much I shower, didn't matter. Go to school, I'd smell like a burrito during math class.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Everybody could smell it. It was awful. And it's because I was in the kitchen, right? So, yeah, she's not there so much. You spend all your time, exactly. The people in the kitchen do smell like that, and it just sticks to your clothes. Yeah, yeah. So the way, so again, none of this was like, ooh, leery, like, oh, she's hot.
Starting point is 00:17:44 whatever she smells like. It was like that. It was. It's probably a little bit like that, but okay. It may. It may sound like that, but it's not. And it's also, it's a bit like when I talk about Jennifer Anderson's milk breath. I have no idea if she has that or not. Although we did get a kind of confirmation that one time, right? Didn't somebody say they worked on set and she drank coffee so much? So it wasn't milk breath, but she had like. It was a coffee creamer. She had coffee mate breath. Yeah. And it was like really pronounced and just everywhere you went. And that made me feel justified somehow. But this is just. just Scott, this is one of, this is a Scott isn't, I understand, all right?
Starting point is 00:18:18 And it would be the same if it was a dude. If the dude walked by, I'd go, I don't know, I wonder if he smells like the friar. Like, I just, for whatever reason, I, I, I had that in my head, and I was pleasantly wrong. And it was nice. So come see us in Las Vegas and get up close to Scott on April 25th, 26, 27th, and 28th at the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, the part of Viva TMS Vegas. Yep, go to VivaTMSVegas.com for details. Right. By the way, somebody was asking me if I'm still doing the pinball festival.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I know you're, unfortunately, it's just going to be me. It's just going to be half of the TMS. Oh, yeah. Half the TMS folks are going, not, not I. Yes, I will be at the Dallas Pinball Festival on the 25th and 26th of March. So I will be here entertaining my Phoenix family who are all coming up to drive me nuts. Oh, really? That same weekend. Yep. Yeah, that was part. That was the way out of it, Scott. You could have gotten out of it. I know. Well.
Starting point is 00:19:13 my sisters would have collectively murdered me but yes i'm not looking forward to it for a couple of reasons mainly um well let's just say this i have a family member who told us all to take all our money out of the bank because in uh february there was going to be a world economic collapse and that day came and went because of course we laughed it off because what does he know yeah and it didn't happen of course yeah we all need a herald camping in our lives yeah we all need that guy. So then we asked that guy, uh, why, what happened? He says, oh, um, it's now in May. It's happening in May. Of course it is. Yeah. So he literally, uh, rescheduled the collapse. He, he took his figurative shovel and dug out the figurative goalposts and then moved those
Starting point is 00:20:01 goalposts another few months down the road so that we can now enjoy. Yeah, you know what causes actually a world economic collapse? Everybody believing they should take their money out all at once. That's what Exactly, yes. Dumbass. Anyway, so I got to deal with that while you're having fun. Good luck. I'm going to send you photos. Check out this pinball machine I'm playing.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Check out this video game I'm playing. We do need to figure out. So one of the events that is happening at TMS Vegas, I think we can talk about it very briefly, and then we've got to get some Randy in here. But one of the events that we've been talking about is a pinball slash video game tournament at the pinball museum. So right across the street, down a little ways, from Mandalay Bay is the new location of the pinball museum. You can't miss it because there's a sign big enough that you can see it from Salt Lake City to sign. You can see it from space, really.
Starting point is 00:20:57 You can be on the moon and say, oh, there's the pinball museum. Oh, that's one pinball museum for man. Yeah. So we're going to do a tournament there. We're going to have a way to sign up for it so you can participate. And Scott and I are going to pick four machines, four specific machines that you have to play. And guess what? You have to pay your own way to play them.
Starting point is 00:21:21 We're not going to provide, we're not going to put them on a free play or anything. Right. But the way I'm seeing it is two video games, two pinball machines. Joust has to be one of the video games. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I think for me, my pick of pinball machine will have to be Superman, the big wide. extra wide pinball machine. Oh, very nice. I like that one. I'll do the Terminator 2 pinball machine
Starting point is 00:21:48 for the pinball side. I love that one. Let's see. I won't do Tempest. I don't even know if they have a Tempest machine there, but I will, so for the other video game, I guess we're picking them right now. Video game number two. We're putting our flag in the dirt right the second. We are. You know what? I'm going to have to look at what they've got. I have to look at their menu. Yeah, that's true. If it's a game they don't have, why even pick it? So, yeah. So Terminator 2, Superman, Joust, and one more video game chosen by Brian will be the four games you must play. That's perfect. I love that.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Let's do it. Maybe Defender. Oh, Defender. Oh, I'm so bad at Defender. I love Defender, but I'm so bad at it. I just sit there and watch those aliens drop my people into those little mountains. Yep. I'm, uh, they would fire me from the Defender Corps or whatever I'd belong to because I get everyone killed.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Oh, True Man Food, Dig, Dug. I think, I like DigDug. is an option. I like Dig-Dug. Yeah. We could do that. Yeah. All right. Dig-Dug. Joust, Terminator 2 pinball, and Superman pinball. I'm in. This is all good. You'll just record. You'll record your scores. Actually, you will have proctors. Somebody will proctor in each machine. Nice. And write down your scores. And winning score gets a very cool prize that I will provide. We need a proctor and we need a comptroller. So get ready, everybody. That's right.
Starting point is 00:23:09 We're making it happen. All right, enjoy this, because this will be fun. Hey, look at this. It's time for us to play the Tad Pooley Feud, which we do on Wednesdays. Sadly, Brian Dunaway is out with some family stuff, but we do have this stand-in over here. You might know him, you might love him. It's Randy Jordan. Hi, Randy.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Good morning, morning, stream. I am standing in. It's good to see you, good to hear you. Yeah, yeah. And, yeah, I had three cups of coffee. I actually got up an hour early this morning. Oh, good Lord. What was that about?
Starting point is 00:23:41 What was what for? What's the deal? Yeah. Well, it's just in, excited. I mean, in anticipation. Oh, man, look at you. Shot out of a cannon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:51 No kidding. All right. Well, there you go. At some point during the day, do you just crash? Like, you know, 2 o'clock in the afternoon? Do you just hit the wall and like face down on the desk? During the day, we're talking late morning, man. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:24:04 Okay. You don't even make it to 11 is what you're saying. A half hour from now, or whatever it is that he joins us again, for recommendals, that's when he crashes. So watch for that. Well, it's nice to have you here. It's going to be really fun today. We have a listener on the line already who's going to help with all this.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Hi, who's this? Hey, this is One Sleepy Panda from the Tadpool. Oh, you are One Sleepy Panda. We're just talking about the answer with me impersonating. You're the opposite of whatever it is we're talking about. Well, it's good to have you here, One Sleepy Panda. We're going to play a game. Brian will now tell you the rules and how this all works, Brian.
Starting point is 00:24:38 That's right. It's time to play the tadpully feud. I've surveyed the tadpole on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Randy are going to have to predict the answers that they gave it. It's their job. They have a job, one job, and it's to see how many of those answers they can guess. One Sleepy Panda, your job is more important than ever
Starting point is 00:24:54 because you're going to be working with either Scott or Randy. And if your team wins, you get a prize package that includes the Paines Creek Killings and Iron Harvest. Oh, I know nothing about. Iron Harvest is awesome. I just, it sounds like a harvest moon only you, you only use iron implements to drink heavily and wear a suit. You would be wrong. It's an alternate history thing where World War I continued longer and we had big like big steam mecks and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:25:28 It's very cool. It's actually really a rad, rad game made by some European people. Big steam mecks that you use to harvest your onions. Yeah, harvest your onions, which is what everyone subsists on in this hellscape that that game has. but it's very cool and it's basically it's an RTS so it's you know think of Starcraft or whatever
Starting point is 00:25:44 but really really rad game I think this is a good one And the Pains Creek Killings is a year you play Janet a young and upcoming journalist who's been asked by your editor to investigate the mysterious abandonment of a once lively town
Starting point is 00:25:58 Wow Man that's Janet Janet Better than Janice All right hey that sounds great So let's do this Brian Give you guys your topic
Starting point is 00:26:08 Please put your hands on your buzzers. And I'm bum that for the one reason I'm bummed that Brian Dunaway is not here today. We had 594 answers to this. And only two people passed. Two people could not come up with an answer to this. That is one of Dunaway's big things, right? He's constantly going on about you've got to figure out the pool, not the answers. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:26:31 He always laughs because I always call these people out who say pass. So two people could not come up with an answer, but 592 of them did. And put your hands on your buzzers and get ready for this. Name something you grab before you head out the door. Scott. Oh, geez. Keys. My keys.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Keys. All right. Show me keys. Ooh, number one. It is our number one answer. Yeah, 229 people in the, almost half of the people said keys. So since there's no answers that can beat it, you and one sleepy panda will work together. you currently own, you own
Starting point is 00:27:10 the board, Scott. Okay. This board is mine. Is this the highest number we've ever seen? 229 is really high. That's pretty high. It is really high. Yeah, I can't think of, uh, I mean, I usually forget these games as soon as I'm done with them. But, uh, this might be certainly one of the highest percentages, almost 50%.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Yeah, if not the highest, it's close. All right. One sleepy panda, if that is your real name. Uh, what do you, uh, what do you, uh, what do you think? jump to your head? What would you grab on the way out? I can confirm that it's not my real name. Oh, good. Good. I was concerned. Wallet is definitely the other thing I take when I leave the house. Oh, yeah, you got to have a wallet. Why wouldn't you have that? Yeah, exactly. I'm going to agree with one sleepy panda and say wallet as well.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Okay. All right. All right. Show me. Give me your wallet. Number three. There we go. All right. And slow-hanging cheap fruit. guys are picking them all yeah very cheap we're only four points randy could get like the bottom three and win so i got we got to get this excellent yeah um let's see uh what else do you grab on your way out the door uh i guess it depends on whether i'm going to say a jacket okay that's a bad one i'll just say it though a jacket show me your jacket damn it uh that was uh jacket number 15 on the list three
Starting point is 00:28:38 Three people said jacket. It was it number two? Yeah. It's not number two. I know. I'm like done away. It blows my mind when what seems so obvious is it there. Yeah, everyone needs a jacket, but maybe we got a lot of people in California.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Maybe they're all from like Central America. Yeah. They don't even own a jacket. Lots of wormclam it too. What even is a jacket to them? I don't know. All right. Well, it's over to Randy.
Starting point is 00:29:03 How is jacket formed? Yeah. How you make jacket? All right. Andy your turn hold on I'm trying to see I oh the buzzer only works the very first time and then it just yeah yeah yeah I was so excited to touch that button okay all right so um when you keep touching the button it just uh you know here I'll give you it we're all getting old it just doesn't react yeah I don't know about these people like this could be totally wrong now sure
Starting point is 00:29:31 yeah sure but I know everyone I know on their way out the door they grab their dog walking supplies They got the leash and the poo bags. Yeah, that's true. All right. All right. Sure. All right. Show me dog walking a kushramal.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Oh, you people. Let's see. Leash was number, well, dog poop bags was tied for 21st. Leash was also tied for 21st place with one person answering each of those things. I'm trying for the six through 10 slots. I know. you are yeah you don't want to go for the low-hanging fruit okay whatever whatever all right so so it's a strategy it's a strategy uh panda here's an idea
Starting point is 00:30:16 i mean we are we are in covid land what if we is mask a bad idea or should i not say mask no i think that's a good idea all right we'll say mask i think that's a good one yeah i feel good about it show me a mask oh geez i should should have put my finger on the button before i did that Yeah, mask number four. Okay, that's not bad. I still don't like how high we are. I wish we had some lower ones.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Sure. Without coat and dog bags, I'm like, what in the world are they thinking? Hmm. Somebody somewhere probably, I don't know, that's not a good one. Panda, you got anything jumping at you? Yeah, I think phone is an easy one. Oh, derp, of course. You got to do the three pocket pat.
Starting point is 00:31:06 phone wallet keys. Yeah, you're right. You're totally right. They're all in the bowl. You've got to grab everything in the bowl. So, yes, phone. Everything out of the bowl. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Okay. Show me your phone. Number two. Dose. Yeah, that is the number two answer on there. I think that says something about our society, but whatever, it's fine. And it does. I think if you run the first seven answers, like if you take all seven, one through seven,
Starting point is 00:31:31 I think you could mathematically win this with all the lowest hanging fruit. Yeah. I can't, well, I mean, there's no chance. Like, if you do, there's no chance I'm getting the remaining three, right? There's just no possible way. Oh, there's a possible way. Just not probable. I think there's one answer in here that surprisingly a lot of people said that nobody's going to guess.
Starting point is 00:31:51 I can give you 30 guesses you wouldn't get this. What amuses me about the phone is that it never occurred to me when we first started this. It's like not occur at all because it's already in my pocket. It's already, yeah, you don't have to grab it before you have the door. It's already, you already had it. But, again, what I remember, the Tadpool are from, like, 2003. Yeah. Yeah, they know that.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Like, they have big fat phones that they don't keep in their. Yeah, yeah, of course. They're all, you know, they're all millennials. All right, let's see. Scott and Danda. Yeah, that was a good one. Do you have any others hanging off the front of your brain there? Yeah, when I work from home now permanently, but I never left the house when I commuted without coffee or tea in a mug.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Oh, yeah, like a mug, like a warmer thing thing. Like a hot drink in the morning. Yeah, that's good. I like it. Hot coffee or something close to it. Some sort of beverage? All right, we'll just lump it all into beverage. How's that?
Starting point is 00:32:48 Show me a beverage. Yeah, people said water bottle, coffee, so I lumped all those into one. Because something you had to grab before you head out the door. By the way, number six answer for those listening who are not watching the video. Oh, yeah, yeah, number six. Um, okay. Because Keyes is so high, the number six answer looks like almost no one said it. Yeah, right, right.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Um, I, uh, I'm all out. I can't think of anything. Um, uh, I, I mean, I used to take my laptop to work, but. I guess, yeah, because you got it. Oh, you're, maybe bag. Like your, you're, um, yeah, your bag of a notebook slash purse slash stuff. that you take to work with you? Say some more things and then
Starting point is 00:33:40 pick one of them. Yeah, a backpack. Yeah, backpack or bag. Maybe Brian will be kind to us on this. All right. Is that advanced to your answer? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Show me backpack or bag. Oh. Or purse. Yeah, backpack purse. Okay. All right. Number five. Number five answer.
Starting point is 00:33:57 You guys now have the top six answers. Can Randy win still if you had seven to ten? Oh, yeah. If he gets any three of the remaining. answers. If you guys, if you guys strike out, it's going to happen. Might happen if we stroked out. If we struck out, I hope we don't stroke out. Please don't stroke out. Yeah, don't stroke out. If there's one place I don't want to stroke out, it's on the show. I would hate that. All right. Let's, uh, let's see. So far, you're killing it, dude, so I'm relying on
Starting point is 00:34:26 you more than. I know. This is a fun one of like seeing just all the top answers being taken. Yeah. This is really good. Anything else jump out? I guess I could throw it to the chat. room on this one. Shoes? Oh. Most people don't leave the house without shoes. All right. Shoot. Oh, that's true. You've got to grab your shoes. You put them on. Because a lot of people don't wear the shoes in the house. They only put them on when they leave.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Right. I swear to God, if coat isn't on here, but shoes is. It is summer sometimes, Randy. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, keep in mind, summer exists in some parts of this world. All right. So we're going to say, we're going to say shoes. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Show me your footwear. No. I think nobody said shoes, actually. Let me look here. Yeah, nobody said shoes. I still think it was a reasonable one. It's a good one. Sure.
Starting point is 00:35:19 All right, Randy. Your chance to take it all now. It's your chance, man. Ugh. I was going to save this for later, but I realize you can only strike out so many times. So let's get right to, I'm going to grab my partner's bum. Oh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:37 All right. Sam, you're right with that? Okay. Go. Show me partner's bum. Okay. Literally, answer number 11 is partner's butt slash boobs. Because that's what it was said so often by people that partners butt slash boobs.
Starting point is 00:35:56 So often needs to be an air quotes right there. I love that butt slash boobs as if it's the same area. Do you know what I'm saying? I didn't file them. I didn't want to have. two answers to partner's butt and then partner's boobs I just think it's great
Starting point is 00:36:11 somebody grab your butt and go I touched your boob no you didn't it just depends on much what your partner's facing really it's like I'm heading out honk honk
Starting point is 00:36:19 you know that is such a tadpull answer yes all right it's back to me and panda oh boy one strike left for each of you yeah this could kick us out
Starting point is 00:36:33 when and then you know it would be up to Andy to actually get the last three or four, but still, how about, I mean, how many people grab like, I know I grab and put in my pocket, my, I have a pair of earbuds I always take with me, but I don't use them in the car, but I take them with me. Is that too weird? I don't know. That's what you, that's what you say on skim every time, so. I do. I'm going to say that On the list. Yeah, I claim that, and I actually do it.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Yeah, okay. Let's say earbuds of some sort. All right. Or, you know, headphones. Show me those greasy, grungy earbuds you shove in your pocket. Yeah. Number 10 answer was earbuds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:23 That's a winner. That's a winner. That's the win. That's the win right there. That's a chicken dinner. Okay. Good. I like that.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Wow. I should go up my instance more. You can do this. What else is? I'm just looking what's in my pocket. Let's play. What's in Scott's pockets? What's in Scott's pockets?
Starting point is 00:37:43 I have a piece of gum that I should have probably eaten by now. It's probably going to be stale. I probably won't eat it. So that's not, oh, gum, maybe gum. What do you think of gum? Maybe. Yeah, maybe. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:59 I like to grab gum or mince. Can't hurt now. Yeah, it can't. You're right. It won't hurt us now. We'll say gum. mints, that sort of thing. Breath freshening item.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Show me gum. Damn it. Also tied for 21st place. One person said gum. I am not going to exit this thing with zero points. Yeah, you need to get something.
Starting point is 00:38:23 So I've made a little list here and I'm trying to prioritize it. And I got to the top two on my little list are coming to sunglasses and lunch. and I can't decide which is more this oh it's in there if one of them is in there I'm sure
Starting point is 00:38:40 AR 15 no don't take that with you don't do don't do no I got to go with the glasses like it feels a little more likely that a lot of people out there grab their their glasses their driving glasses their sunglasses their outdoor eye gear it feels a little more likely than your lunch but man I really like I make I hope they're both in there but let's just start
Starting point is 00:39:04 with sunglasses. Let's start with sunglasses. All right. Show me your Raybans, your foster grants. Oh, hallelujah. Number eight on the list. I'm not the, I'm not the biggest loser. No. Okay. We've had way worse performances on here. So I've already said it. We got to, we got to go with the food. You grab your food because you're going out and you're going to eat later. Yep. All right. Show me your lunch, your snack, your whatever. That is not on there. Let's see. Lunch. Lynch was number 16. Three people said lunch.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Okay. My third guess was going to be those reusable shopping bags that you keep. Oh, sure. Sure. And I just don't, after the coat incident, I just don't trust the tadpool to also have reusable shopping bags. Like, I don't know. Like, again, they all live in 2003 is the message that I'm trying to get across. No, no reusable shopping bags. But listen, in these warmer climates where they don't need a jacket, if they're bald,
Starting point is 00:40:04 they might want to take Oh. A hat. A hat. Number seven answer on the board was hat. They seriously said hat at number seven. No kidding. It's like,
Starting point is 00:40:16 it is wild. What is this? The 50s freaking Ward Cleaver grabbing his hat on the way out. I'm telling you, you got to remember who they are. They're all, seriously, they're all my grandfather.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Well, the ones, right. I do always have a hat with me pretty much. So I'm not surprised. Yeah, I do too. I always take a hat. Now that I think about it, I always take a hat.
Starting point is 00:40:37 It's just that I only picture that as an old guy thing, you know? Yeah, yeah. But we're all taking baseball hats and stuff. You know that grandfather that the tadpool is that's always trying to be funny and, uh... Oh, always trying to be funny. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, always trying to be funny? Yeah, they're always trying to be funny. Until you said that, I was like, oh, they probably answered Kane or their Walker or, like, funny.
Starting point is 00:41:00 They're trying to be funny. Yeah, oh, yeah, so let's see what number nine is. Because, yeah, number nine's funny. What do we got? What thing you grab before you head out the door? Oh, no. Doornob, doornob. Ah, that's a freak number nine answer, doorknob.
Starting point is 00:41:14 You're right. Yeah. Yes. A fair number of them also said crotch or testicles or penis. Yeah. That was number 12, by the way. Right after partner's butt and boobs was testicles or penis. Thank goodness that trying to be funny meant grabbing the doorknob.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Because I was like, I was going to, I was going to say like, is it. it clown horn? They grab their clown horn and strip it to their belt. They want to have that so they can be funny while they're out. Aruga, Aruga, they want to do as they leave. Yeah, that's, I can't believe we didn't think of that. And also, I think it's really funny that Sleepy Panda got it
Starting point is 00:41:48 right before you dinged it. That's great. That's very good, yes. Some other answers on here, pocket knife, let's see, pants, they grab their pants. Vap. Oh, yeah, the vape. Yeah, you got to grab the vape. Watch 3DS.
Starting point is 00:42:03 office badge. Kane was on there. One person said cane. And then you get stuff like insurance card or kids or my head when I remember I forgot something or reefer. Oh, yeah, you got to get your weed. Kids was on that quick list I made. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:42:21 grab the kids. Because again, if the tadpool is my grandfather, the kids are all grown up and out of the house. Yeah. I'm starting to think since someone put 3DS, I'm like, dude, really? We're like many consoles. Yeah, but the 3DS fits so nicely.
Starting point is 00:42:37 It fits better in your pocket than the switch. That's true. I loved my 3DS. I really do. My daughter has it now. I'll never see it again. All right. Well, well done.
Starting point is 00:42:46 That means this. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Sleepy Panda wins. And, hey, Brian, how does he get his prizes? What does he have to do? You should email me at covervillagee.com, and I will get him those prizes to make him a little bit less sleepy, playing some exciting and maybe possibly scary games. Oh, very nice.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Hey, I have a question for Sleepy Panda. Oh, sure. So I play a lot of Overwatch. Yeah. And I keep track of all the names of all the strangers that come into the lobby, right? That's not weird. And I have this question that's been running, and I've been asking people for months and months. Why are so many people who, who, like, choose an online nickname?
Starting point is 00:43:25 Why is that online nickname, sneaky squid or Sleepy Squid? or sleepy turtle or magic panda or magic squid or sneaky turtle or white like those those two sneaky turtles weird sleepy magic sneaky plus squid panda or turtle equals most of the people I come across and I'm just curious like what is it how they come up with the Chinese restaurant names by the way the same method yeah yeah that or golden walk you only have those right golden yeah golden something so what so sleepy panda how did your name come about So mine is because they struggle with insomnia, and pandas are my favorite animal. That's easy. I like that. No, that's good.
Starting point is 00:44:08 But I think, Randy, what you're experiencing, if I remember correctly, when you sign up for, like, Xbox Live or any of those services, they just give you a random name to start with. Maybe it's, like, just people who haven't bothered to change from the default. Because, like, my wife's Gamer tag on my Xbox is giving parsley. Oh. That's a weird one. Which is also the name of a local Chinese restaurant. Yeah, given parsley. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Yeah. They have an amazing buffet. Well, congratulations. I think you deserve to win today. You pretty much won that single-heartedly. And we will see you next time. Thank you very much, Sleepy Panda. Randy, thanks for hanging with us.
Starting point is 00:44:50 And you know what's going to happen after a little time here and Tom Merritt, you're coming back? Because we're going to do recommendals today. so that'll be fun right are you looking forward to that yeah talk to you soon all right bye now okay so randy has been removed from the call let's see if he if he sounds uh less animated when he comes back like he's you know he very well might i'm hitting the wall guys uh it's really yeah i was i need another cup sam's rushing right now to get him an espresso all right that's gonna do it for this first half of the show we'll be back in a minute before that though we got to play a song and uh brian will now regale us with what
Starting point is 00:45:27 whatever the hell he picked. Oh, I so will. So Gerson, you remember when Gerson won on Monday's TMS, Babel Royale? I do. You won some prizes. Well, he also reached out to me before winning because he got in touch with one of his favorite indie bands, a band named Team RKT, like Team Rocket, but it's Team RKT. And he reached out to them saying, hey, can we play your music on TMS?
Starting point is 00:45:54 And they said, oh, my God, we'd be honored. So I don't know if they actually know us or if they just, because they're also podcasters. They do a podcast, Comedy Paranormal podcast called This Paranormal Life. Oh, nice. I like it. Kit Greer, Mulvena, and Rory Powers. They are also award-winning podcasters. They just give those to anybody these days.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Anyway, this is the band team, RKT. And from the single that they released in 2019, here is Working Sundays. Can anybody in this old town? Tell me where that I'm supposed to be. Because I've been running from the very start, but towards the end of where I started, it's hard to say that I'll be alright, so I won't say anything. Because when the days are over, you see,
Starting point is 00:46:56 that I'm not the person that I used to be because I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays and know you get a little closer, the moment's gone, yeah, the city's got a piece of me because I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays, days can anybody in this old town
Starting point is 00:47:25 Tell me who that I'm supposed to be Because I've been looking out for road signs Driving where I'm not supposed to be And everybody on the sidelines You say you gotta promise that you won't leave So I can running through the red lights Just so I know I can go
Starting point is 00:47:48 Because when the days are over You see that I'm not The person that I used to be Because I've been working Sundays, yeah I've been working Sundays And know you get a little close When the moment's gone, yeah The city's got a piece of me
Starting point is 00:48:08 And I've been working Sundays, yeah I've been working Sundays Standing on the outside I'm running from my rights to my floor to my fault. Just tell me I'll be all right. Tell me nothing at all. Because I've been looking out for road signs, driving where I'm not supposed to be. So I'll keep one. So I'll keep flooding from the headlights, just so I know. Because when the days all over, you see that I'm not the person I used to be,
Starting point is 00:49:03 because I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays. And though you get a little closer, the moment's gone, yeah, the city's got to be seen me, because I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working sun. Sundays, days, Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays, because I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays, days, days, Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays, day, I've been working, tell they say Debbie, what's all the excitement.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I just called 976 suds to catch up on my favorite soap. Called who? 976 suds. It gives you all the romance and intrigue of the day's episode of any soap you choose. Really? Sounds great. Yeah, but that's not all. It also gives you an exclusive preview of the next show, plus news and gossip about your favorite soap stars.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Here you call. It's quick and easy to make visual aids for flammel boards. Broadcasting live from Mountain Time, the only time zone that matters. All right, we're back, everybody. That song once again from those award-winning podcasters. was. That's right. It's working Sunday from the guys in Team Rocket, Team RKT.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Very. Maybe it's Team Racket because they're a band. They make a lot of racket. Oh, it could be. Yeah. You never know until you try. Okay. Hey, what if we added Tom to the call? How would that make you feel? What if? Tom is the meat and the Randy sandwich.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Yeah. I like that idea. But first this. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is Tom Merritt. He joins us on Wednesdays, and we talk about Tom Merritt stuff, which is usually tech related, because Tom Merritt is the tech expert of the internet. I don't know if you've been told, but officially he's been christened that. Is that official? It's official. I don't know if I like that. Oh, a lot of responsibility. Look, with great power
Starting point is 00:51:38 and all that comes. With great power comes everyone coming at you on Twitter. Yes, that's the new way. That's Spider-Man. Come at me, bro. Yeah. I'm sure it'll be fine. No one will give you a hard time. But having you here is always a pleasure, and I really like it. So part of that is, hey, Tom's digging around for tech stories and trying to figure out what today's daily tech news show is going to focus on that sort of stuff. And oftentimes that means in the morning he's already got the cool stories. So Tom, share what you found.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Well, not much. Oh, okay. Thanks for seeing him. Bye. We'll see you next time. No, it's going to be a fun show today. Scott is going to talk to us about game preservation in light of Nintendo's decision to pull games off of old consoles,
Starting point is 00:52:26 which I think is less controversial than the, but we're not committing to putting them on anywhere else. Also, we're Nintendo and we always go after people and try to get them to stop preserving our games. So that's going to be a fun conversation that we're going to have today. Yesterday, we had a great conversation with Laura Shin about this big hack that happened. And back in 2016 on the Ethereum blockchain, those of you who are big fans of cryptocurrency,
Starting point is 00:52:53 this was huge news. Other people maybe never heard of it. But essentially, somebody figured out a vulnerability and took about a third of all the coins out of Ethereum in 2016. Well, I'm sorry, they took a third of the coins out of an effort called the Dow. It was about 5% of all the coins of Ethereum. And Laura Shen thinks she figured out who did it as part of, research for her new books. So she talked to us about that and explained what a Dow is. A Dow is a decentralized autonomous organization where decisions are made based on how many coins
Starting point is 00:53:31 you own in the organization. So it's not coins as in Bitcoin. It's coins as in tokens that give you voting rights in the company. And then there's smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain that enforce that so that you can you can you know run the organization democratically
Starting point is 00:53:52 and this has become most famous recently with the folks who tried to use a DAO to buy a copy of the Constitution you may have heard of Constitution Dow
Starting point is 00:54:01 yeah that's awesome so we get we got a great explanation from her about that as well so if you want to
Starting point is 00:54:08 understand Dow check out yesterday's daily tech news show and then today Scott how you feeling You feel in the love or the hate for Nintendo?
Starting point is 00:54:19 I mean, Nintendo continually always a weird, a weird double-edged relationship with them. I think for a lot of gamers, they represent some of the most important landmark titles and innovation in the industry and also this weird position they have in the industry where it really doesn't matter what the big boys do. They just continue to be a different kind of big boy
Starting point is 00:54:44 and continue to do what they do and they do it well and then they also do a lot of stuff really poorly and we won't be getting into that today about their internet strategies have always been kind of subpar and years behind everybody else and all that other stuff but it does go a little bit into the discussion of what are they doing to help in game preservation because as it stands right now their attitude is basically this
Starting point is 00:55:07 they're like well we're pulling all the virtual console stuff we had you pay for and that you technically bought and owned we're going to pull all that from the Wii and from the 3DS shop and probably eventually the Wii U because that'll be coming up next and you know the DS shops and all that other stuff are going to get all gone and away which is again consistent with what they've always done but what gamers have always said then we've always said okay fine where can we get it then so even if I have to pay again can I get it again no we just don't have that like they have a fake vault kind of Disney vault style idea of it. We may introduce it when we're ready, but for now, that 20
Starting point is 00:55:48 bucks you spent, just pretend it never happened. And then, it's, it's, it's less intentional. Disney, like, acknowledged the vault. These are going back in the vault. Get them before they go in the vault. It was like a, it really was a marketing idea. Nintendo doesn't seem to be using it that way, do they? No, they don't. And if they did, at least it would be a little more straightforward. But it's just, I know it's not quite this simple, but it really is like, stop, pirating our stuff. Okay, where can I get it? And then them just being silent, not saying anything. Like, it's just literally like that. Like, make it available. Game preservation is different than piracy, though. And that's the other distinction I want to make today is that it's,
Starting point is 00:56:26 you know, nobody's really asking for them to make it so everybody can get their stuff for free or nobody's saying they want to pay double for everything. We're the main. Somebody's saying it. But yeah, that's not the point. Yeah, that's not the point. The main issue, a lot of, a lot of people working in that space are just trying to say, well, look, if, especially online games, like we're about to hit a phase where a bunch of servers get set down, shut down from things that happened in the early 2000s, and we're all going to go, wait a minute, is that even playable? Does it even exist in the future? Is there a way to preserve those things? And places like Archive.org have some ideas. Other people have some ideas. Um, I think that
Starting point is 00:57:02 Nintendo would really benefit, given their place in the history of video games, they would benefit themselves and us if they took a more active role in preservation. So we'll talk about that and get into the nitty-gritty of it, but I'm looking forward to it because it's a, it's a topic near and dear to my soul. I'm probably going to trot out my, my metaphor I've been testing lately, that the internet is like an old house. You think the internet was literally built in the 70s, right? The construction began in 1968.
Starting point is 00:57:34 And so when you live in a house that old, it's constant maintenance you know stuff that you forgot about just you know the pipes need changing and then you get some dry rot somewhere and the internet is starting to act like that
Starting point is 00:57:50 it's like oh yeah this thing's been around for a while like it works great when it was new but servers going off like oh right we didn't think about that we talked last week about the versioning of browsers becoming a problem where when they hit version 100 a lot of code didn't accommodate for
Starting point is 00:58:07 three-digit version numbers in browsers. So, you know, there's a lot of these little maintenance issues that are popping up as the internet ages. I think it's a great. That's a really good analogy. You know, you dig around an old house long enough. You're going to find your great grandpa's mustache of 30s porn somewhere in some corner. Or you're going to find out that the pipe is about to break for the entire sewage system because no one thought of whatever. Or those things where you like never thought about the fact that that could become a problem until it became a Because everybody kind of forgot it existed because it kept working for so long. It's kind of the 2K thing, which was, you know, make of that what you will.
Starting point is 00:58:44 But the Y2K thing, but not writ large, but like there's just lots of tiny examples of it. And some of it is purely just, well, we don't want, you know, the Matrix Online to be lost to history. We want whatever that was to be like we would anything else, an old film or any other historical record. We want it to persist and exist and be cared for. And not just treat it as, well, here's an IP that we may let you touch once in a while and then hide it away from you. And for some reason, the games industry is just always thought differently than almost the rest of what the world makes. Movies, music, all of those stuff. Not that they don't have their own issues with piracy and how do you get it and who's getting paid and all that.
Starting point is 00:59:27 I don't mean that. But just, you know, nobody's saying, nobody ever says, well, that's it. All of Bob Dylan's records are going behind the wall. and we're not, you know, just not getting them anymore. Why? Well, we quit making the walk, man. So no more Bob Dylan. I guess you just won't get him. That's such a good analogy, because there's plenty of music that isn't sold that's in the vault.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Right. But it's not the most popular stuff, right? And that's what Nintendo is doing. They're like putting very, very popular things. Off, weird, off cut things that never took off from Nintendo. There is an audience for that. And those should be preserved. We're not even just talking about preserving history.
Starting point is 01:00:03 We're talking about things that people are like, I'd still like to listen to Bob Dylan. Yeah, I'd still like to play that game. Yeah, and there will always be some bad actors in all of this, but that's no different than somebody making a fake Mona Lisa and claiming it's real. Bob Dylan was a horrible actor. He was an horrible actor. Great musician.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Yeah, amazing a musician. Couldn't act his way out of a bag. But anyway, yeah, so more on that later. I'm really looking forward to it because it's, again, it's a thing, especially with this new retro show, we're talking a lot about preservation, emulation, and all of that. So there's, I don't know, it feels, feels, ripe and ready for conversations. That'll be today, 2.30 Mountain Time. Yeah, yeah, it should be good. And plenty of other stories, too. So if you're looking for just a complete coverage
Starting point is 01:00:44 of the day's tech news, they'll look no further than the daily tech news show. Tom, anything else going on? You want to mention? I do, freetomnewsletter.com. Oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. They got, they caught him. They finally got him. Yep. That's the most frozen I've ever seen, Tom. Look at him. Yeah, yeah. If we don't free him, look what happens. Yeah. He could be punking us. He could have just, like, he could be holding super still.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Can you imagine if he pulled that out? There's no way he could go this long. Thanks to see. Oh, there he. The best part is I still hear you just fine. Oh, do you hear us? I never lost you. Oh, that's weird.
Starting point is 01:01:23 You just entered. You rudely interrupted me. Yeah. And it's like, what are you? Oh, I'm frozen. That was weird because you went complete rock solid frozen and didn't move. and then now you're back. And it was a great, it was a great frozen Tom face
Starting point is 01:01:36 because it looked like the way you look at us when we're talking. Like you're, you know, you're not responding to something. It's just Tom, Tom being polite and listening to us. And so we're like, and you, and you, and the last, I'd be punked at us. The last words out of your mouth were free Tom.
Starting point is 01:01:50 And then you were, I'm like, yeah, we need a free Tom. And I was saying, I was saying, like, thanks to everybody writes in. And then you interrupted me by saying, they got him. I'm like, what? But I'm thanking people. What a rude host I am for No, well, I mean, I very quickly understood what was going on,
Starting point is 01:02:09 but there was a moment where I'm like, they got who? What? What's going on? It's very odd. But I enjoyed it. In Lawton? Yeah. I thought they already had him.
Starting point is 01:02:19 But later. Free Tomnewsletter.com. Yes, go do that, you guys. He needs to be freed, as you can tell. Tom, have a great day. We'll see you soon by now. All right. I don't know what that was about.
Starting point is 01:02:27 His internet took a fart. Yeah. Just a hiccup. Thank you, it was just a hiccup. And it's okay. You know, these things happen. We work through him. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:02:37 It's fine. All right. Now let's do this. Oh, I can't believe it. It's almost like he was here earlier. It's Randy Jordan. It's like you never left. Good morning, morning stream.
Starting point is 01:02:50 My goodness, you're having the best show you've ever done now. Wow. It's amazing. I'm so impressed with this episode of the morning stream right now. That's amazing that you are, and you're a part of it, Randy. Think of the history. it's amazing. Yes, that's right. We're taking this thing to the moon. The trash moon. We're taking it to the moon. Yeah, Randy had a handful of meth between last we talked and now.
Starting point is 01:03:11 I would love to quiz Scott sometime on what he thinks measurements of various drugs are. Oh, yeah. I've no idea. I know people do like, I'll tell you, like eight ball. I've heard of that. No, not eight ball. Like, yeah, I would like to know what he thinks the eight in eight ball stands for. I'd like to to know how many ounces of weed he thinks are in a joint, et cetera, et cetera. I have no idea. I'll tell you, it's three. I've been for this. Whatever it takes, I'm in. Three, three shovels to the hog's
Starting point is 01:03:41 head. Some kind of old 1800s measurement. That's what I'm going to use. So look forward to it. All right. I'm here to talk about things that are streaming that people should watch. And as I said to you guys a couple days ago, I'm running low, my friends.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Man, it was the winter Olympics. The winter Olympics was on TV and there's way more than you can watch, right? Yeah. How were they? Did anybody watch the closing deal or is that happened yet? Okay. It didn't. It happened on Saturday there. So it was like Sunday morning for us. Yeah. How'd that go? Is it all right? It was fine. It was a pretty good closing. Like there's a whole group of American skaters who hadn't gotten their medals yet. Like the whole thing is to have everybody come out into the stadium. Right. And all the different countries are mixed together instead of how they showed up. They all show up separately. But now they all come in mixed and the medal winners are all wearing their medals. and they all take pictures together and they have a good time and so that's really freaking cool
Starting point is 01:04:36 but there were a bunch of people that hadn't gotten their medals yet because of the skating controversies so that was kind of weird I thought that since Valieva did not
Starting point is 01:04:47 place they were able to do all of the medals no the team skating events like the American team had won silver or you know
Starting point is 01:05:00 ostensibly won silver, but they weren't given their silver medals. The Russian team weren't given those particular gold medals. And it's, you know, I guess it's better this way because, like, they might get disqualified and the Americans might actually be given gold. But anyway, I'm just saying the closing was weird. As you know, Brian, the controversy around 15 and 14-year-old girls taking heart medication in Russia is just, oh, it's just crazy. Well, that's what I wondered, if it's like at the end when they're all mingling, so all the countries are mingling together, do the Russians just run around with syringes, giving everybody steroids?
Starting point is 01:05:38 Like, you know, they're like, oh, hey, you're from Zimbabwe. How's it going? Right into his neck. There's been a, there's been a Russian doping scandal at all Olympics for like 20 years now. As long as there's been dope. It finally came to a head six years ago, six years ago. They finally said, all right, Sochi was beyond the pale. We're not going to let you guys do this anymore. And then we're just letting them do it. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:06:04 What was that? What was that? What was that called? Oh, dude, watch that documentary. That's so good. I was a recommendal, by the way. One of you recommended it a couple years ago. I think it was me.
Starting point is 01:06:15 But it's so good. Oh, my gosh. It is. It's so freaking good. because it's just a guy who's trying to make a movie about his own experience not doping in cycling and he gets sucked into the Russian Sochi doping scandal.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Yeah, that won the Oscar that year for Best Longform Doc. It was very good. 2017, there it is. Yeah, if you've never seen that, Brian, you should watch that effing movie. Yeah, I need to. It sounds right at my alley. What's crazy about it is the way it's,
Starting point is 01:06:46 well, Randy kind of explained it, but the way it starts is the guy, guy, the guy's making a whole different movie. He doesn't even know what's, what he's about to learn is going to happen. And when it does, you're like, holy shit. It's so, it's so funny because he's like, I'm making a, I'm making a movie about me as a professional cyclist or, you know, a professional racing guy. And I want to find out how all these people that are beating me, how they're doing it, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:09 So he just starts asking around, who's the, who's the person I need to go to to get the drugs that they're using? And he finds himself talking to a Russian dude who then. has to escape from Russia and the whole world is chasing after him. This guy's still probably under threat, but, you know, he's probably got a Putin hit on him for all we know. I don't know. Like, it's crazy. The whole thing's nice. Bobby Franks, this is just me. This is me, man. I'm sorry. I love it when I hear Randy yawn in the middle of a sentence, like, oh, the coffee's starting to wane a little bit. I thought it was more of a coffee burp thing he was holding back,
Starting point is 01:07:43 right? Not one of those? Anyway, point is, point is not a lot of TV watching this. past couple of weeks. So all I'm saying is I'm running slim. That doesn't mean my recommendation isn't good. I think it's good. Oh, I want to make a band called Running Slim. I like that name. Running Slim.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Something about it. All right. Well, let's start with Brian. Brian, you got a recommendal to do. I'm running that today with two recommendals, as usual. Let's start with this first one, which is a series. All right, here you go. See if we can figure it out. I mean, if you don't think we should keep seeing each other, I'm starting and I'm going to force you. We'll be seeing each other for
Starting point is 01:08:16 three months and you have never once opened up to me. I don't have a little girl to consider. A little girl? She's 11. It was a big step for me to start dating again. You're a grown man, aren't you? Maybe it's time for you to put on your big boy pants to be emotionally available. There's a lot for me to navigate with regard to Emma. Oh, thank you so much for reminding me. Please don't be sarcastic.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Can you please not be a piece of shit? Okay. Emma's in a really fragile stay right now. She keeps having these full and panic attacks. I'm not even sure if I know how to stop them. Then I should talk to her. I'm an empath. Okay, are we ready to order?
Starting point is 01:08:59 Does it look like we're ready to fuck? You don't think I'd make a good mother, do you? Eleven is young still, for that guy's credit. This also needs to be an extra premium of, over here at Disneyland, you can have a meal with Olaf from Frozen. Oh, well done, recognizing the voice
Starting point is 01:09:22 there. That is Josh Gad. I know Josh Gad. It's the most recognizable voice I think in our generation. I'm amazed because I was listening to that and I'm like, oh, they're never, you know, I would not figure out who that was, especially because it's whispering. But this is this is great. This is a show called
Starting point is 01:09:38 Wolf Like Me. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the clip I played you. I mean, that is the opening clip of the show. And Josh Gad is the main character, but this woman that he's at this on this date with, you never hear or see again. It's just, I like that opening as a way to kind of set his character up. Nice. The show, it's on Peacock.
Starting point is 01:10:00 It's called Wolf Like Me. And shortly after this horrible date gone wrong, Gary, played by Josh Gad, goes, picks up his daughter and they get into a car accident with Ila Fisher. or Isla Fisher, one of those islands from Jurassic Park, I think. She, somehow they keep bumping into her. Like there's some sort of cosmic energy drawing these two people together, but she always mysteriously runs off. And even when they look like they're hitting things off really well,
Starting point is 01:10:32 she takes off and you can't figure out where she's going. And that's all I'm going to say about that. Because if you know any more than that, it's a, you know, it's a big surprise that I'm letting you in on, but... Well, thank you for the non-spoilers there. I like that. Yes, very nice. This is excellent.
Starting point is 01:10:50 It's really funny. It's put together by, who's the writer? Abe Forsyth, who also did a million little... No, what is he? It's the little fires everywhere and... Oh. I know what you mean. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Pretty little lies, I think. Pretty little liars? Liars? Pretty little liars? No, maybe that's not it. Sweet little lies. I think it's a different thing I'm thinking of that he did. Somebody else did.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Never mind. He did. Forsyth. It's Little Monsters. Yeah, no. No? Oh, Little Monsters. Yes, it is Little Monsters.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Thank you. All right. Zombie comedy film with Lupita and Yungo. Correct. Never saw that. Anyway, this is excellent. Again, it's called. Wolf like me, it's on Peacock.
Starting point is 01:11:45 So I think it's available on Freecock. It might be, I'm not sure. But you'll have to take a look and see if you can get it without a Peacock subscription. Ila Fisher, Josh Gad, six episodes. You can binge this in an evening. And I guarantee you, once you watch the first episode, you're going to want to binge the rest of them. Looks like you can see it with commercials on Freecock.
Starting point is 01:12:06 But you have to do the Freecock. Which is, you know, even, yeah, that's how we watch it with commercials. And the commercials are brief. This was recommended to me, by J.K. Grammer, and it was recommended to him by his girlfriend. And he wanted me to do the teen of voice for his girlfriend recommending to watch Wolf like me, and I'm not going to do it. Oh, you're not going to do it. No. I'm going to go all that way to say that I'm not going to do it. Oh, Josh Gad. He must be Josh Gad friends because he's also
Starting point is 01:12:29 in that zombie movie. So Josh Gad all over this guy's work. That's interesting. Yeah. Anyway, all right. And we're like having a minisack here. Abe Forsyth is working on the next Robocop movie. Oh, cool. That's interesting. I didn't know they had another Robocop movie coming. It's also a IMDB photo makes it look like you just got out of bed. But whatever, it's fine. It's going to be called Robocop Returns, which I just think, come on, guys. I hope, hey, if that, look, if they put, if they make, they bring Robocop back and they put
Starting point is 01:13:00 what's his beak in that suit and make him old. I'm scared? No. The guy that played, because that's the way it's looking. The guy that played the original Robocop, can't think of his name. Peter Weller. Peter Weller. You put Peter Weller in there.
Starting point is 01:13:13 that we find out what's happened all these years later. Oh, I'd be into that. We don't know anything about Robocop returns, do we? Seriously, though, Josh Gad as Robocop and he just wants warm hugs. Oh, my gosh. He's mostly an actor, this guy. Do you want to build a robot? Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:13:32 Oh, that's so funny. Seriously, Josh Gad is one of those guys. Like, I really, I feel that way about him, like, the same way I used to feel about Robin Williams. It's like, I will just watch whatever. Oh, really? Wow. Okay. That's cool. He does have a cool voice. I'll give you that. All right. Let's make sure you watch this. Wolf like me on Peacock. Let's jump over. Jump over to number two here. Is this some film? Right? This is a film. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:56 All right. Let's play it and see what we got. Why would you send me that stream? I have told everybody not to send me things like that. And especially a week before the IPO. I thought it might have been a crime. Delete it. Did you hear me? I thought it might have been a crime. Yeah, the devices pick up things, lots of things, and our policy is it's not our business. Aren't we legally obligated because of the Amazon Arkansas thing? Do you know how long that court case was? That was two years, and that was a murder.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Trust me, Angela, we do not want our own Arkansas. I think this might have been sexual assault. Don't know. Don't say that. You don't know that. You don't know that. It was in arguments. I have a very strong feeling. Based on what? based on my very strong feeling. Okay, just skip this one. I can't do that. I clear my list. I always clear my list.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Yes, I know that. And it's one of the things that I like best about you. So here's what you do. You just mark this degraded audio and delete it. And then you'll be clear. Will you please, please shut up. I am trying to work. No idea, but I want to kick that guy in the nuts, whoever that is. You will after that scene. Um, that is, uh, Andy Daley or Andrew J. Daley. And you know him. He usually plays a very sarcastic doctor. Uh, like I think on things like, uh, VEP or, um, Parks and Rec. I mean, you know that guy. Once you see him, it's like, oh, yeah, I've seen that guy and a bunch of things. He's usually, he's usually wearing glasses and he has like a very, uh, very short, uh, tussled professional haircut. Yes. And he's exactly. And he's very snide and very under his breath kind of sarcastic. Anyway, that, uh, but the other person you're hearing is Zoe Kravitz, daughter of Lenny and Lisa Bonay. She is playing a character
Starting point is 01:15:48 whose job it is to listen to smart device failures. Like, you know, when you say something to your Amazon Echo and it doesn't go right and you say, no, that's not what I wanted. She's one of these people who listens to this anonymous audio and hears what you intended and what it did for you and then she goes in and programs it or writes the adjust the code so that when you request that thing the next time or when somebody does it knows what the difference is and figures it out so um and the name of that smart speaker you know it's like Siri or Alexa it's called Kimmy and that is the name of this film it's a Steven Soderberg film brand new got released to HBO Max and I had not heard anything about this when I saw it on the on the title cars I'm
Starting point is 01:16:37 like, oh, something new from Steven Soderberg? Yeah, I'll totally, totally watch this. This is kind of a rear view window for smart devices. J.C. Calhoun can hits the nail on the head. It is a... Rear view window. Oh. I'm sorry, rear window.
Starting point is 01:16:51 Rear window. I got it. I was reading J.C. Calhoun who wrote rear view window. Albert Hitchcock's rear window view of the apartment complex movie. Right. That's the one. So she hears what sounds like a. sexual assault, and she wants to get to the bottom of this.
Starting point is 01:17:11 But unfortunately, she's also got, like, agoraphobia, maybe is on the stream as well. She's very, kind of has some OCD tendencies, things like that. So to get out of the house, especially during a pandemic, is a very big thing for her. And this does take place during the pandemic, but guess what? The pandemic doesn't even play a character in this film. oh grab a mask on your way out the door and there's no like oh we're in a pandemic and things are scary right now no it's like that the fact that there are people outside wearing masks is the only clue you have to it taking place right now um so she's got to figure out how to um how to get
Starting point is 01:17:56 the appropriate information to her bosses one of whom you heard there who wants her just to get rid of that audio and cover it up before their IPO. And so she's got to kind of get around all that. And written by David Kep, it looks.
Starting point is 01:18:15 It is, yeah, written by David Kep. I like David Kep's word. That is a writer, Scott, that you have seen probably a dozen movies. Speaking of Jurassic Park and, well, we won't mention that one. Mission Impossible.
Starting point is 01:18:30 I know exactly what we want. You know exactly which one. I just skipped over it, didn't you? Yep. Yeah. He's done all sorts of stuff I like. I like that guy. Yeah, Spider-Man.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Panic Room. Yeah, he's great. Carlito's Way, that's a hell of a movie. It is. It's a really good one. Yeah. So it's a very, you feel kind of claustrophobic with her during this whole situation because you're kind of experiencing her agoraphobia along with her.
Starting point is 01:18:55 And, um, uh, that's pretty. Zoe Kravitz, definitely. Oh, she's amazing. We love her. She is amazing. Yeah. She was in Mad Max Fury Row. you may not remember.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Oh, I forgot that she was in that. Oh, right. Yeah, and she was one of the wives. And also, uh, she was, she's the new Selena Kyle. She's your upcoming cat woman. Oh, right. She's your, yeah, your catwoman, right? Yep, coming up soon, right?
Starting point is 01:19:17 Uh, May? No. Whatever it is. March. March. Like next month. Yeah. I'm very excited about that.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Anyway, she's awesome. She's the best thing to ever come out of, uh, Lisa Bonnet since the gun. Anyway. Whoa. Uh, well, I'm just saying. I'm just saying she's great. Name one other thing about that movie, Scott. I can't, right?
Starting point is 01:19:37 Well, it's got a guy from nine and a half weeks in it. That's all I know. Yeah. There you go. We've been watched it for film, sec. Anyway, this is called Kimmy, K-I-M-I. It's on HBO Max. And this might, I can't tell if this is one of those things that's just a temporary, like,
Starting point is 01:19:53 watch it for the next 30 days and then it's going away or if it's going to be up there for longer. But it's getting really good reviews. and it deserves it. It's really good. All right. I'm in. I'll watch that movie. That seems like one I would like. All right. Here is my clip. This is a new Netflix film. And I feel a little bad
Starting point is 01:20:13 because I probably should have held this for Film Sack. But I wouldn't mind seeing it again for Film Sack. So that'd be fine. Anyway, let's see if you can figure it out. Here you go. Whatever happened to her? Is she still alive? She became a ranger here
Starting point is 01:20:29 in Texas. She must have for that maniac for more than 30, 40 years. So, she found him. He was wearing a mask. Not easy to locate someone if you don't know what they look like. Okay. This is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. What?
Starting point is 01:20:51 They remade that again? They did. Well, no, actually, they didn't. They made a sequel. Oh. And the sequel is to the original film, not to I guess technically it's a sequel to the other two sequels that weren't good that were the old old old ones but not this isn't a sequel to one of the newer things not
Starting point is 01:21:10 even the 2003 Jessica Beale ones or not Jessica Beal whoever it was maybe it was Jessica Beal anyway I think it was I think it was so this is like 50 years after the original leatherface is hidden hiding and they just straight up called the Texas Jainsaw Massacre without a without a you know subtitle or anything so that part can be a little bit confusing. This is a new movie by David Blue Garcia. Him and his writing partners and directing partners are the ones responsible for that don't.
Starting point is 01:21:39 Not don't talk. What is it? The one where... Don't let the right one in. No. Maybe it's just called Don't. That would be a fun name. Sorry, not the director, the writers.
Starting point is 01:21:51 Hold on. I'm going to find this because it's going to drive me nuts. Okay, here we go. Nope, that ain't it either. I can't remember the name of the damn movie. where they don't breathe that's it don't breathe that's it oh don't breathe which I also recommended they also did another recommendal I did
Starting point is 01:22:07 which is the remake of the evil dead the original evil dead evil dead evil dead yeah the Sam Ramey evil dead's a thing and those are great horror movies I thought they were awesome they're some of my favorite modern horror movies and I think they're really
Starting point is 01:22:23 in particular evil dead is a very hard thing to tackle and I think they did it pretty deftly I liked what they did they're scarier and they're more gory and obviously they're modern so they you know whatever here's the thing i am not going to tell you this new take on texas chainsaw masker or this follow-up i suppose i'm not going to tell you it's great because it's not story characters i hate the characters in it everybody who's in it first of all they're all dislikable unlikable so that you get you don't get sad when they get killed you really it's hard to root for any of them like they just
Starting point is 01:22:56 You're supposed to root for some, and it just freaking can't do it. Elsie Fisher plays the main girl in this. Her name is Lila or Lila in this movie. You know her from that eighth grade girl movie. What was that called? Eighth grade. Eighth grade. It was called.
Starting point is 01:23:11 Don't. Eighth grade. Yeah. She's very good in it. Her girl plays, they're all fine. You know, they're acting fine. It's just their characterizations are bad. So the idea, the concept is this is modern times.
Starting point is 01:23:23 And in these kids slash late teens, early, 20s are influencers and they got the they got the websites and the Instagrams and the what not want to kill them myself I know already you don't this is all you need to know you're already annoyed right but they really play that stuff up and it it is annoying um Alice Kriegs in this she plays a really interesting well she plays the mother of leather face yeah the Borgue she's actually very good is she's not there very long but she's she's very good while she's there this lady named Alwyn Fori I'm not sure you how to say her name she plays
Starting point is 01:23:55 Sally Hardesty, who is the character from the girl who survived the very first old 1970. Oh, really? Okay. So she, it's not the actual actress. The old final girl. Yeah, the old final girl. It's not the actual actress, but it's somebody playing her and she's older. Yeah. And she's supposed to be kind of, you know how they're doing with what's her name in the Halloween movies where she's coming back to get. Yeah, the Jamie Lee Curtis. Jamie Curtis stuff. Yeah. It's a bit like that. Heather Van de Kemp fish sticks with
Starting point is 01:24:25 Yeah, he's how you stop him The guy, you guys would recognize Another actor William Hope We've talked about him recently He played Gorman on aliens He's the one that's always He thought he had it all under control And then just kind of got nervous, bonged his head
Starting point is 01:24:41 In the end him and Alvarez are in the vent holding the grenade together and then blowing up those aliens You know the guy. Anyway, Gorman, he's in it. He plays the sheriff. he's also not there very long. And I will say the reason I'm going to recommend this because I don't think it's that well written.
Starting point is 01:24:57 I think the story's a little lame. I think these characters are super annoying. You end up rooting for Leatherface more than any of them. Played by, let's see, what's his name? Mark Burnham, and he's a monster in this. Just a huge dude. And the reason I'm going to recommend it is because you don't go to these movies
Starting point is 01:25:17 for any of the things I just said weren't great. You go to them for the set pieces and the gore and the action and the who's going to die first and who's going to die the worst. And if you're into horror movies, you know what I'm talking about. What's the most clever way we can think of to kill somebody basically is what you watch those movies for? Basically, yes. And there are some gnarly scenes. There is a scene where everyone's trapped on a luxury bus with him and they can't get out. So close quarters, it is very gory.
Starting point is 01:25:48 like some of the most some of the most hardcore gore I've seen in a movie in a while now that's not going to be a lot of people's cup of tea I get it but if you if you see this stuff as ridiculous as it actually is and you're looking for just like that kind of fun then that this movie delivers if you're looking for well written you know complicated story whatever don't don't go near this but it will be a future film sack film I'm sure of it the one thing I do want to shout out there's a scene I've gifted this and send it to you guys as well. But there's beheading in this movie that is so realistic. Yeah, it is I don't know how they pulled it off. That is disturbing. It is really disturbing. Yeah, it's not for the squeamish. Yeah. As I've been saying, like, we're in
Starting point is 01:26:32 the age of video game graphics being so good that you can have an animation studio, like, make it real. It's just real. Yeah, pretty much. There's probably some other people who do some, I don't know, it's hard to explain,
Starting point is 01:26:48 why this kind of worked for me more than it didn't and it's getting panned by reviewers and I and I think they're probably right it's not this isn't great like I think the 2003 reboot was actually a pretty good movie a good horror movie and it was a pretty good take on that stuff but it was a reboot it was a retelling I'm having flashbacks to your uh talking about euphoria last week um is everything okay at home Scott oh everything's great yeah good yeah no no I don't hey euphoria by the way this last episode of Euphoria. The finale's this coming week. But man, that show. Fez, if they screw with Fezco, I'm going to be pissed. They better not do. Anyway, all right. So there's that. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I was looking for a dumb thing and I found it. It's on Netflix. It's an original,
Starting point is 01:27:37 so it'll stay there forever. Enjoy. And they're doing sequels. So I guess that's all coming. And keep an eye on this, David Blue Garcia. This is like the beginning of his rise. I think he's going to he's going to be a pretty common in our lives the next 10 years yeah he's done mostly cinematography but this is a second directing gig uh telagio was this is a spanish director right somewhere in mexico i think but i'm telling you you got to watch those mexican directors they end up making amazing films eventually i just realized what you were trying to say you were trying to say tejano so tejano was his first movie and it's it's just a you know sort of a creepy uh thriller about a rancher in Texas who lives on the border.
Starting point is 01:28:21 Tejano. Tejano. So it's not Tejano. It's not. It's not so funny. It's not machete. All right. Ceywano.
Starting point is 01:28:31 Herb, herb, it's all the same. Let's get into Randy's. Randy, what's your setup here for I click this? So we, I'm recommending a second season of a show that first season was kind of meh, I think, for most people. But the second season is. Real, real good. And in this clip, we have the main character on a FaceTime call with his wife who is in prison and everyone else in the cast just comes by and gets in on what he's talking about.
Starting point is 01:29:02 All right. Check it out. Here you go. No, they're not fooling around. This is a real thing. What's the verdict? No verdict yet. Aaron is on the stand right now.
Starting point is 01:29:11 God. What? If this thing doesn't go my way, Mags, what's going to happen to Aaron? You'll be fine. You always do the right thing, Mark. You brought me back to prison after Louise and I escaped because you had some intergalactic crisis. Honey, we talked about this. I had to take you back to prison because you can't just escape from prison. You did the crime. You have to do the time.
Starting point is 01:29:33 Well, agree to disagree. Mrs. Nerd! Ahoi! I have Tony Scarpa Ducci here. How are you? Oh, great question, if you don't mind. What time is it? Uh, 225. 225. And what's trending right now? Tony. Tony? Tony? You don't need to know what's trending.
Starting point is 01:29:49 I don't need to know. I'm just curious. He's fine. Maggie, long time no C. Hi, Brad. And how's prison going? You know, it's a lot like the military. It's structured. You get uniforms. And if you put in the time and effort, you assume a rank. You can go from being someone's bitch to a gang member to a gang member with your own bitch.
Starting point is 01:30:11 All right. I forgot that Lisa Kudra was in this. Oh, my gosh. So that was Steve Corel, of course, and he's talking to her, and Ben Schwartz comes along, and then Jimmy O'Yang comes along, and then Don Lake comes along, and I didn't, I could have given you five minutes. Do you ever get Melkiewicz, the entire cast ends up in this little scene. And it's like, it's the perfect sort of like beginning for me for the second season, because the first season, you know how these, you know how these Greg Daniels shows go, right? the first season is just they had one joke right isn't the idea of space force funny right that's the that's the that's the that's the whole joke and they spend the whole season kind
Starting point is 01:30:55 of investigating that thought and so it kind of it goes places but it doesn't really it's not very cohesive yeah this this second season it's it's like that what i hear about like the second season of office you know what i mean like where okay now we've established all our stuff and we're going to tell our stories and have the real solid humor. And John Malkovich is the funniest person on television. I can't believe I'm saying. I know. It's crazy how good he is.
Starting point is 01:31:22 I actually kind of liked season one. So I'm really happy to hear that season two is better than that because I thought it was okay. So I'm kind of looking forward to something. See, it's funny. The two, you brought up the office, but it's, it's true. Greg Daniels in general, like I thought Parks and Rex first season was really weak. And it got way better second season. So it's weird how that guy does that.
Starting point is 01:31:42 It's like he's got to feel out those stuff. You start with an idea, right? And you have to unpack it and figure out what the idea means. And I'm not saying the first season was bad, but you recall, I tried to get you guys to watch an Apple show called C a few months ago. Jason Mamoa. The first season of that isn't bad. It's just the second season is so freaking good that you've got to watch it. Sure.
Starting point is 01:32:07 He, by the way, did he got to start in, I didn't know he started on The Simpsons. That was news to me. He eventually moved over to King of the Hill and then did the office almost right after that is when that started. And then here he is today. That's pretty cool. On Rotten Tomatoes, Space Force Season 1 is currently at 39%. Space Force Season 2 is at 88%. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:32:29 Well, there you go. Check C, see what you get when you give a year and then you do your best work. I'm shocked that brought it back and I'm glad. I'm so freaking glad. I mean, everybody in this show is just firing on all. cylinders and uh tony newsome who you you know you know might think of as forgettable compared to all these other ben schwartz type actors tony newsome they give her a much bigger role is she the daughter no the daughter is diana silvers who is uh suddenly uh 25 years old in in real life and they're
Starting point is 01:33:02 having a really hard time keeping her in high school in this show but uh tony tony newsom plays the main astronaut they've like basically they've they've decided that they're going to have they're going to elevate like an astronaut from the crew that went to the moon in the first season as as sort of like the main character from that group and uh she's um she's real funny she's real good she's uh the last name nard is funny just because it's funny right yeah yeah i like the name nard it's funny just it's funny it's like uh what's another one like that i like um like people named nard i like people named, oh, well, like, even he did it before. Leslie Nope is just funny.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Right. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty great. Yeah. So. Well, there you have it. Good stuff.
Starting point is 01:33:50 I don't want to give you really any spoilers, but let's just say, um, space for, they, they figured out that they needed to have an overarching season story, right? Yeah. And so that story, I think, I think this is all laid out in the first episode. That story is space force is now on the chopping block, right? they have a pre they have a new president a new administration as as we do in real life right yeah yeah and and um space force might be going away entirely if they can't figure out how to you know uh how to how to get it together how to do more with less money yeah and uh so that's sort of the whole basis um i'm trying to come trying to come up with the name of the actor who is uh the man in washington who's the heavy coming down on them and Joe Don Baker Tim Meadows
Starting point is 01:34:38 Tim Meadows Is introduced as the Secretary of Defense And he's just like He's he's a straight guy on the phone basically And he's just he's so perfect He's so perfect I love I love him I like he's that's one guy where when he was on S&L
Starting point is 01:34:54 I always felt like he didn't fit Everything else I always love him in isn't that weird It's a little weird It is weird Yeah because I felt like he fit in He was on Saturday Night for the long his time. They even joked about how
Starting point is 01:35:06 he still has a dressing room there at S&L. He was there forever, but I never did it. I always felt like he was apart from the cast. I don't know why. Just a weird sense I had. He's funnier. He has been funnier in other things lately, Goldberg's, first thing it comes to mind. Doesn't he do a voice for Bob's Berger's
Starting point is 01:35:22 as well? He's the mailman, and he's amazing. Mike. Right. Right. Yeah. He's really good as Mike. Well, all right, then. My point was, like, do you remember unjustified how once they got into their seasons, they would start and you'd go, oh, here's a new character. I'll bet that that's going to be the bad guy. And then you realize,
Starting point is 01:35:38 oh, they're going to give you that character for the whole season. And then at the end, that bad guy is either going to get killed or get arrested and thrown in prison. Right? That's justified. Every single season is like that, right? Yeah, yeah. That's the feeling I get, not the exact same scenario,
Starting point is 01:35:54 but the feeling I'm getting from Space Force. Like, oh, they're going to tell you, they're going to tell you a whole story with each season. So I'm guaranteeing that there's a season three of space force. You're making me want to watch Justified again. That's what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:36:08 I want to watch a show called Injustified that Randy was describing. And it's all available, right? Like it's Netflix so every. Starting to wonder, this is topic for next week. I'm saving this. We're going to have an actual topic next week in Recommendals. And I got to think about it a little bit more before I blurt it.
Starting point is 01:36:26 Please do. But I have an idea, this whole binge versus weekly. I have, catch up and see where we're at with that. We'll talk about it next week. You can't pull a Johnson if you tell us what you're thinking about. No, no, no, I'm saying it'll be in that vein, but I want to rethink some of it before I make a firm statement on what my opinion might be.
Starting point is 01:36:45 But I think it could be interesting. Like, do we like, okay. Like have we evolved, have we evolved to like one over the other even though we thought we liked one more when it happened. Oh, interesting. So we'll talk about it. Mainly for time, because we don't have time right now to get into it. All right.
Starting point is 01:36:59 Hey, Randy, guess what? everybody. Randy puts these on the Twitter account. He puts them on the Discord. He puts them on the Facebook group. He puts them everywhere you want to be so that you can follow up and watch the stuff we liked. And if you don't want to see Texas chainsaw mask, I get it. I get it. Don't do it. I'll tell you what, though. There is a chainsaw on it. Oh. Does it a place in Texas?
Starting point is 01:37:19 Yeah, it does. And here's one other hint. The Borg Queen is now, she can officially say she's been in face off. Does a Does a mass of people get curred? They might. They might. They might get massacred.

Starting point is 01:38:36 is that they are forming a new boy band. And everything I hear, like, Nicholas Shorten is the shy one. Wauga is the cute one. And Brian Lawrence is the perennially angry one. I don't know how that's going to work in a boy band, but I'm excited to see what they come up with. Wait, at 10 years from now, you'll see Nicholas Shorten in all these, like, movies.

Starting point is 01:39:11 Next week, Brian's gone for most of the week because, except Monday, he'll be here Monday. Because you'll be gone. You'll be in California. And as a result, I have at least two confirmed hosts to announce. Third, I'm waiting for their confirmation. But Tuesday, my wife Kim will co-host the show. What?
Starting point is 01:39:30 I know. Or not Tuesday. Sorry, Wednesday. I got them backwards. Wednesday. Tuesday. How did you ever book her? I can't even understand.
Starting point is 01:39:37 Really, I had to work through her people. It took days. It sucked ahead. Yeah, sure. And then Tuesday, one Brian, one Justin Robert Young will be here. Get out. All morning. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:50 The return of Justin Robert Young. Yeah, he actually got word somebody, because we had said something yesterday about how busy he was and, you know, we missed him on his Tuesdays, but hey, you're busy, you're busy. Somebody sent him a clip of that and he said, hey, if you're, I heard Brian's not going to be, you know, there. What are you doing Tuesday? I'm like, oh, you want to come a co-host? He says, yeah. I said, all right, get in here. Are we sure that this isn't the world's greatest con? It could be. And I know. And I know they're working on a new season. So I'm sure we're going to get some, some good promo on that the days here. But anyway, Jerry will be here. So that'll be fun. And then Wednesday, I'll let you know when I know, if the person confirms or not. And if not, I have backup, so we're all good. But I'm mostly excited to hear about your good time in California. Yeah, if I can, I might try and do some little quick video streams and stuff, but this will be me and the family. Vacation, man.
Starting point is 01:40:38 Let's face it, I'll be wanting to do anything I can to get away from all of them, actually. Yeah, no kidding. Okay, you guys stay here in this room. I'll be in the other room. Do you guys? You want to go on the cars right again? Yeah, I'll see. All right.
Starting point is 01:40:50 The car's right again. Oh, you're going to go shop for mouse years? All right, you guys, go ahead. That car ride's okay for what it is, but... Oh, it's so much better than the movie. Like, it's... It's a great ride. Yeah, just don't want to go on it five times, you know?
Starting point is 01:41:05 No, gosh, no. Once is totally fine. Once per visit. Yeah, one, maybe even once forever. All right, hey, Brian, let's get out of here. We can't do it, though, because I don't have a song, but you do, so play. I need a song. Yeah, and we need to do this one in another language.
Starting point is 01:41:20 we got to write in saying, Hi, it's Bree and Chili. I didn't want to say, Bree and Chili wrote in and said, Hi, it's Bree and Chile. And I wanted to request a song in celebration of my marriage to an amazing man who happens to be
Starting point is 01:41:32 the latest and greatest of the many reasons this country has become home to me. Despite the pandemic and having our families split between two countries, we are finally making it happen in the U.S. on February 26th.
Starting point is 01:41:44 When I ran off to South America six years ago, I had no idea how much amazing new music was waiting for me, especially as a fan of 80s, a new wave and 90s pop. It was hard to pare down my suggestions, but I settled on a great erasure cover by the Argentinian punk band Attack 77,
Starting point is 01:42:01 or Atake 77. Let's see here. If all else fails, I'd be more than happy with a Spanish language. Morrissey covers, since there's nothing more Chilean than obsessing over the Smiths. The precise day is not so important since the actual wedding falls on a weekend.
Starting point is 01:42:16 Even the first week of March will be okay. So they're getting married this weekend, And congratulations to Brie and Chile and your husband to be. This is, so yeah, as I mentioned, this is Atake 77 with a cover of erasures, a little respect. This is some great Argentinian punk right here. Enjoy this. Here is, well, I said it again, a little, or I guess I'll say the name of it, it is called Un Poco de Respetto.
Starting point is 01:42:46 We let Randy go at the wrong time. He would have had. Yes, we did. He would have had some kind of, you know, perfect rendition of that. All right. Well, here it is. Enjoy it. We'll be back tomorrow for more TMS.
