This is the morning stream with Scott Johnson and Brian Ibbett.
Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS.
It's the morning stream for Monday, March 7th, 2022.
I'm Scott Johnson.
Brian Ibit is back, everybody.
Welcome back, Brian.
I'm back.
Yeah.
Weird week. We had no Brian on any episode.
Well, no Monday.
We had Monday.
That was it.
Monday. And, uh, big thanks, uh, to jury, Kim and TV's Travis for filling in for me. Uh,
jury must have left the booth of mess, but Kim cleaned it up. And, uh, then TVs, Travis just
left a whole bunch of, uh, like, Highlander DVDs and, uh, yeah, but it smells like, uh,
beard, yeah, beard oil. Yeah, beard oil. That guy's got, his beard, uh, since last time he guest
hosted, has gotten more voluptuous than the last time I saw. Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I get to say,
We met Randy for lunch on Friday, and one of the only photos to prove that I was in California,
because I was crap on social media while we were out there.
I didn't put anything on Twitter.
I didn't put anything on Facebook.
I didn't do anything like that.
And Randy did manage to post a photo of he and I, and his beard in person, is glorious.
Oh, that's a hell of a thing.
Yeah.
It's a hell of a thing.
Yeah.
The, I'm going to be working from home for two years.
So I'm going to let all the hair on my face and head grow.
Yeah, every inch of my body.
I assume body.
Yeah, of course.
Why not?
You did send me this great picture of Tristan and his lightsaber.
I like this.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Tristan did the Savi's lightsaber workshop thing.
And, oh, man, he had a blast.
Like, this is the thing about that.
Yeah.
You hear about this like, oh, okay, you go in and you build a lightsaber.
And even if you hear more than that, and I'm not going to say more than that,
because it's cool. You think, all right, well, it's pretty cheesy.
But you do it. And even Tristan thought, from what he'd heard about it,
all right, well, it's cheesy, but, you know, I get a lightsaber at the end of it.
Of course.
No, it is so, as a Star Wars fan, it is unexpectedly touching and brings a tear to your eye.
Actually, Tina, believe it or not, so Tina, we walk into Disneyland, first day, Tuesday,
day um nude and we're like all right we got to hit rise of the resistance first listen we get
there at rope drop or we get there before rope drop basically you're herded into the center of
uh disneyland right in front of the castle yeah and uh there's ropes everywhere or perceived ropes
and then the ropes drop at exactly at a clock and every freaking human being in that in that
holding pen makes a B-line for a rise of the resistance.
Maybe a few of them go off to Space Mountain.
Maybe a few go off to Haunted Mansion or pirates.
But a majority of everybody is like black t-shirt, beard, ball guys, fat guys,
wagging, because you're not supposed to run at Disneyland,
but doing the wogging thing to rise of the resistance.
So on the app, you can sit there and you can watch,
oh, zero wait right now, 10-minute wait, 30-minute wait, 40-minute wait,
65 minute wait, 125 minute wait for Rise of the Resistance.
But we walk in there and we get to Galaxy's Edge and we're just walking into like the main gates and seeing all of the buildings.
It's like you're walking onto the set of Mandalorian.
It's amazing.
And Tina starts tearing up.
She's like, I can see, you know, I wouldn't have expected to tear up from this, but I'm totally, I'm totally tearing up.
And then she vomited all over the floor.
Then she vomited all over.
And there you go.
Showing the chat a little bit of this.
There's some handy cam footage of part of this.
And it looks awesome.
I didn't realize there were no tracks in there.
You're just on trackless vehicles in the beginning.
Oh, and Rise of the Distance.
Oh, don't give away rides of resistance.
Oh, my gosh.
There's no giving it away.
Look, here.
You're riding on a thing.
Yes, you're spoiling it.
Oh, my God.
People look away, Mary.
and look away.
They're just riding a thing.
It's just a thing they're on.
It's no big deal.
See, the deal with the deal with Rise of Resistance is there's so much unexpected in there.
Like when you think things are finished, oh, that was pretty cool.
Oh, no.
You've got so much more.
So I hope people don't spoil themselves and look at the content of Rise of the Resistance.
Because after we got off of there, Tina and Tristan and K.
all saying, oh my God, I'm so glad you didn't say anything because some other rides, I'll
be like, all right, well, all right, here's what we got. If you're, if you don't like roller
coasters, this might not be the ride for you. And Tristan's girlfriend actually stopped talking to
us for a while because we talked her into going on a space mountain. Oh, it was a, a relatively
tame roller coaster. Yeah, which is a lie, you know, it's a bit of a lie. I mean, you know, it's,
compared to Goliath, compared to Colosses, compared to roller coasters that I would consider to be
up here.
Space Mountain is.
Space Mountain is a tame roller coaster.
I agree.
I think there's something about the dark that gets people, you know?
I think so.
That's the trouble.
When you've never been on a roller coaster, never been to Disneyland, never been in California, never even been on a plane, space mountain is a pretty big jump up from what you're used to.
Oh, my gosh.
So she stopped talking to Tina and I, and I don't know, she stopped talking to Tristan.
Tristan was the one who's really pushing her to go.
on there but um anyway so you know it wouldn't make her go on on matter horn that that i feel is too
much or uh in credit coaster those i feel are tens with space mountain being like a five or six gotcha okay
no that's fair i think that's that sounds right how i would rate it but if you're not used to it
i guess that's probably all very shocking um yeah my daughter wouldn't even get on the damn thing so
wouldn't get on uh space mountain nope she was but she was only like seven or eight or something
And when we got up to the front, there was the part where you're supposed to actually get on.
You know, you slide into where you sit.
She slid in to where you sit and then slid right out the other side.
She slid right through to the exit.
And stood there and sat and just shook her head.
Like, I'm not getting on.
I'm not getting on.
So we went without her.
Has she been on it since?
Has she gone since?
Oh, she was nine.
She says, no.
Carter, you haven't been on that since, right?
I don't think so.
I think that was her only, her only attempt.
She'd go now.
She would totally do it now.
It wouldn't be a problem.
Icor nails it.
He says, yeah, it's a Disney, Space Mountain is a Disney 10.
Like, in the scheme of roller coasters, I'd even say, I'd even say it's a Disney
eight, because I would put Matterhorn and Incrediccoaster as rougher roller coaster rides.
But I guess with the darkness, it kind of moves it up a couple notches.
So, yeah, okay, 10, but a six flags, six.
Yeah, that's cool.
So this really was her first time there.
I mean, did she have anything to say about the place after she left?
Was she like, that was the greatest thing ever?
My eyes have been open.
I'm never going to not go, you know, like, what happened there?
She is a very understated woman.
She plays her cards close to the vest, and we don't really find out what she thinks of things
until we look at social media later on.
So judging by your social media, she had a fantastic time and really enjoyed herself.
But at the time, it's like, hey, what did you think of, what did you think of this?
It was good.
Hey, would you think your first plane ride?
It was all right.
Okay.
We'll just look at her social media.
Oh, she really enjoyed it.
Look, excellent.
That's hilarious.
Except when she broke Tristan's hand,
gripping it during Space Mountain.
Oh.
Well, you know, it'll heal.
He's young.
He's fun.
Yes, exactly.
So, do you get to see, what's his name, Gary while you were there?
I did not get to see Gary.
It's a long story, but basically we planned on Galaxy's Edge First thing in the morning,
had everything there, and then go through the rest of the park.
Tristan had his lightsaber appointment in the morning, too.
So build a lightsaber, leave it at Savvy's Work show, or at Joy Depot, and then we come back at the end of the day to pick it up because he's not going to carry it around all day on rides and stuff.
So that was the plan.
I was like, all right, well, Gary doesn't get in, or he doesn't start working until two.
Perfect.
We'll come back in the evening.
We'll see Gary and we'll hang out with him for a little while.
So we get back there at about 8 o'clock, and I go up to the area where I asked for Gary last time I was there in May of last year, and say, hi, can you tell me where Gary's at?
And the little 17-year-old curly brown-headed kid says, brown-haired kid says, no, for security reasons, I can't tell you where Gary is.
Oh, Gary's a high-risk security issue now, is he?
I guess so, yes.
Okay, no, that's fine.
I get it.
whatever well can you get him on on comms and let him know that uh brian and his family are here
he's been waiting for us yeah um no i can't do that either or i won't do that oh i won't see i
can't he said i won't do that wow look at brave brave uh junior there giving the old guy
i know like what what the heck and so like all right well let me text gary but of course he can't
when he's out being a scoundrel among the uh the the riffraff in in uh galaxy's
edge he can't have his cell phone with him right so i can text him but he won't get until he goes on a
break and it's you know an hour before they close or maybe two hours before they close uh and uh he
you know we didn't get to see him or hear from him because the next day we're at california
adventure we couldn't couldn't cross parks and come over and see him so bum me out that guy uh so
we have a listener named mark who saw you and he also saw gary i guess they have pictures good
He got lucky. Somebody saw Gary.
Yeah, somebody saw Gary.
I had one degree of separation from Gary on this trip, so that's good.
It's not so bad.
But high to Mark, he seemed like a cool guy.
Found you out there.
It was really nice.
Yeah, he found me.
I even had like a cap on, so I didn't have the bald paint in full display.
But he found us at the Dole Whip stand, as a matter of fact, an absolute must stop in Disneyland.
You got to get yourself a Dole Whip.
He came by, he's like, hey, Brian, I just want to say hi.
I know you're with the family, but wanted to say hi.
And so I shook his hand and said, oh, man, good to see you.
Yeah, that's nice.
They've made some changes there, and I'm a little irritated with Disney, with their, it's really Bob Chupac, who's the new, the new head of Disney.
Because I'm sure he came up with these ideas himself.
It was nobody else.
It was just, it was just this Bob.
Yeah, he came in, said, day one, I have a plan.
It's to ruin Fast Pass Forever.
Here you go.
And exactly.
And that's exactly what he did.
So fast pass, the days of fast pass are gone.
Used to be included with your ticket.
And you could basically pre-line up for one ride at a time.
So like, oh, we're over at Jungle Cruise.
Let's do a fast pass for Indiana Jones.
And then as soon as we get off this ride, we can make our way there.
And you can only do one ride at time.
It was fine.
But let's say later on the day, you're like, oh, I really enjoyed Indiana Jones.
Let's do that again.
Great.
No problem.
Sure.
No more of that.
So now it's Jeannie Plus.
It's an extra $20 per person per day.
Genie Plus.
Is Genie involved?
I know.
She's in our chat room, Jeannie Plus.
Wow.
Fantastic.
Extra $20 per person per day.
You can only use it on each ride once.
So, yeah, I like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Want to ride that a couple times while I'm there.
But you're only using Jeannie Plus once for it.
And the rest of the time you've got to wait in the 85.
five-minute line to go see Rocket and Groot and all that.
Oof.
And the big three, Rides of the Resistance, Radiator Springs Racers, which is the Cars ride,
which is like, that ride for whatever reason is a 10 in the Cars movies for me are a three.
Yeah, yeah, the ride's awesome.
How you make an incredible ride out of a crap out of a movie I hate.
And then WebSlingers, which is like a Spider-Man re-skin of,
of Buzz Light Years Astroblasters or Toy Story Midway Mania.
Basically, it's a shooting gallery built into a ride.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
And those are extra costs.
Like, they're not even a Jeannie Plus.
You want to bypass the line on Rise of the Resistance?
Well, we'll take another 15 of your dollars, please.
Ooh, everything you're saying sucks.
I don't like any of this.
Yeah, it does.
It does sucks.
And I also don't think it's, I don't, wait in line.
I don't think there should be anything in this world that costs you, you know, north of
$150 a day or whatever.
it is. Right. Nothing should cost you
that much per day and still make you wait
somewhere for 90 minutes unless you pay more
to not wait 90 minutes and then only do it once
or
but it's still a chunk of time. It's not even really
that much of a time savings. That sucks.
That's bad. Yeah. It does.
It is, it sucks and it is bad and you're absolutely
right. So I'm hoping that
that enough
people complain about it that
maybe they reconsider something,
some part of it. Give us back some part of it.
Yeah, bring up Bob Iger back.
to return to Disney.
I know. I know. We need the old Bob.
One thing that we really enjoyed, though, speaking of Radio Springs Racers,
we're not going to pay the extra seven bucks to bypass the line on Radiator Springs
Racers. By the way, that number fluctuates, depending on the day of the week and how much they
think they can make. So to bypass the line, Radiator Springs Racer, seven bucks a person.
I see. So like Vegas hotel nights when the NFL draft is happening. I see.
Exactly. I see how they do it. Okay.
So basically we're like, all right, let's brave the line.
It's 60 minutes.
We can wait 60 minutes to Ride Raiders Springs races.
It's worth it.
So we get in line.
And you know how when you're in line for a ride or something like that that snakes around,
you frequently pass the same people.
Like you're going to be going one way in the queue.
They've rounded the corner.
You turn and they're coming the other way in the queue.
And you bump into these people all the time, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
You type in something to chat?
Sorry, I had to answer somebody who's asking me a question.
Oh, yes, absolutely.
Yeah, go ahead.
Not in the chat.
It's somebody else.
Go ahead.
So you frequently see these people and you look over and you kind of notice, all right, well, there's this whole family of people sitting on their phones.
But their four-year-old kid or three-year-old kid has gotten one of these Mickey Mouse bubble ones.
And you load it with bubble juice, you push a button, and tons of bubbles shoot it out of the top of Mickey's.
They got like a little fan in it or something?
I haven't seen these.
A little blower, yeah, a little blower that, and probably a little rotating spindle
that collects the liquid and pushes it over the blower.
Yeah, yeah.
What do you pay for one of those, by the way?
How much is that going to cost?
Oh, I'm sure.
It's probably 20 bucks.
I mean, I've got to be at least that.
Back when, like, five, ten blizzcones ago when Tristan and I went out there, we've got one.
It's somewhere here in the house, but this.
kid like it was one of those things where to find someone who loves you as much as this kid
loves his Mickey bubble one he was so just staring at it and just loving the joy he was
getting from watching the bubbles and then he'd point the bubbles at someone and then like you do
if you're in line for 60 minutes you start coming up with other things to do with the bubble one so
he for a while pointed it directly at his grandpa's crotch oh got his grandpa's crotch all
all bubble
soaped up.
Yeah,
soap up the crotch.
Then you take
Grandpa over
to the log flume
freaking the Splash Mountain.
That's what you do then.
Yeah,
get that guy all sudsy
by the time of the hands.
Yeah.
And then another point,
he's got the bubble wand
between his legs
and he's shooting bubbles
like it's his penis.
Great, great.
We had more fun
watching this kid
and his bubble one
than we would have,
you know,
playing any phone games
or social media
or anything like that.
Well,
Well, that sure makes the weight a little easier to have some distraction like that.
It totally was.
That's not bad.
How's the food and stuff?
Do you guys eat food in the park?
We did.
Yeah, the food rarely disappoints.
Obviously, Dolewip the big highlight, but we went over to PIMS research in Marvelville for breakfast and had giant French toast with two little tiny eggs and some bacon because it's all like grown or shrunk.
They serve these pretzels that are bigger than your head over there,
and they've got a really cool display inside that shows regular-sized pretzels going into a PIM accelerator machine
and coming out either huge or minuscule.
Oh, I do like that.
That stuff's great.
Wait, so how do they get the eggs so small?
They're just little tiny quail eggs or something?
I think they're tiny quail eggs, yeah, because it was a little tiny yolk and little tiny whites.
I don't know why I don't like that.
Smaller bird eggs.
Yeah, there's something about it.
I know.
Oh, really?
No, I do rock quail eggs on my wasabi row sushi all the time.
I don't know why that sounds gross to me.
Something about it.
Something about the idea that it's like a compressed little tiny bird egg.
I don't know.
Those are bird eggs that are not supposed to eat.
Only chickens.
Only chicken eggs.
I mean, who knows why we, I want to meet.
I'll go back in history and meet the guy that ate the first chicken egg and was okay with it.
You know what I mean?
I just want to meet that guy.
So how was that day?
Oh, it was great.
I took egg. I cracked on face. I don't know why he's Russian, but I ate the egg. I want to know.
Anyway, well, that's cool. So, uh, one, uh, one little hiccup during the trip. Oh, yeah.
That was a, uh, a lift ride. I can't wait for us. So we were getting ready to meet Randy. And
basically, we had everything squared away to the point where, um, we left our luggage with the bell desk at the hotel.
We ubered, lifted to this, um, outlet center to do, let the kids do some last shopping. Yeah.
And then we, when we were done there, we're going to Uber back to the hotel,
pick up the stuff, pick up the luggage, and then go to the airport, right across from the airport,
drop off the luggage, then right across from the airport is where we're meeting for Randy for lunch.
So a piece of cake, right?
Yeah.
A two-stop thing.
Yeah.
So go in to lift.
Doop-d-d-p-d-poo-d-punch in.
All right, our final destination is the airport, but we have a stop in the middle at Peacock Suites.
to pick up our luggage.
Doop, doop, do, do, do.
Okay, that's going to be $37.
No problem.
Pay for it.
Right.
All right.
Fine driver.
Sure.
Your driver's four minutes away.
I'm like, all right, cool.
Let's get out there and wait for him.
We get out there.
He calls, where are you?
We are outside the Buffalo Wild Wings on the east side of this outlet center.
Okay.
Okay.
Click.
He pulls up.
And as he pulls up, the ride gets cancer.
But he comes back around, he opens up his lift gate, and I'm like, and he says, how much you pay?
And I'm like, it was 37.
I look at my phone.
I notice, oh, the ride's been canceled.
What the heck?
This is how much you pay?
I'm like, uh, 37.
And I confirmed that his name was Farad.
It was the guy who, who had, you know, scheduled to pick up and called us.
Sounds like Farad's doing a little tricky trick here.
A little trying to pull a little fast one on us.
He says, uh, two stop, $55.
dollars like 55 why you don't get to negotiate this isn't how it works 55 he says no put in put an app and see how much it costs and i like all right put in the app see 37 99
ah two stop 55 dollars i'm like no thanks get our luggage out of the back i'm reporting you i would have been so annoyed
yeah oh my god you wanted cash right so it's like oh this is you know you're you i worked for lift i know what to do
in cases of people like you so we get our luggage out of there
um i hold up my phone like i'm taking this picture but really i'm just like
just looking at his license plate the dude ran two stop signs to get out of uh out of the
outlet area uh out of response like viewing area from us this this story could have gone
worse too like what it could have easily we end up in a some part of town you don't know you're in
the trunk suddenly and your name's chris tucker and uh someone's you know
I don't know. I don't trust any of this. This is bad.
Exactly. Yeah. So, yeah, totally like, oh, you little slime ball.
So then we had to go and go back into the app and plug in another one.
Well, now it's like 12 minutes for another ride, for another lift driver.
Right, right.
And so I'm texting Randy, I'm like, hey, dude, we're going to be a little bit late.
Grab a table. We'll get there as quickly as possible.
We ended up dropping Tina and K. off with Randy, trusting them to Randy for a while,
while Tristan and I ran across the street
checked in all the bags and then ran
back across the street for...
When you came back, Randy had escaped town and taken them with him.
Is that how that went?
Randy just took off.
Yeah, that's exactly.
Randy had absconded with...
Yeah.
It's unfortunate.
All in all, though.
Yeah. Great time.
Hold on. How do you spell Farad's name?
How's his name spelled?
F-A-R-R-A-D. It's not spelled F-R-A-U-D.
Okay, just checking because that sounds like fraud.
I know you wanted to be fraud.
Yeah.
I really did.
I really wanted it to be fraud.
Oh, yeah, and the entire drive with our new driver, I was on with Lyft support saying,
hey, here's the guy.
He did this.
He totally broke the rules.
He broke the rules.
Get them, bust him.
Yeah.
Did they ever report back on that?
You don't find out how that went, do you?
I don't find out how it went.
They just reply back and say, thank you for reporting this.
We are, we take this very seriously, blah, blah, blah.
and you'll never be matched with this driver again and we're looking into, you know, his record or I don't know.
It was something that made me feel like, all right, well, he'll get a little slap on the wrist and he'll do this tomorrow.
Yeah, it could be.
They didn't call you Narc on the way out, right?
They put a little Narc on there.
They didn't call me Narc or anything.
That's good.
They ended up not paying a penny and they got everything taking.
Very nice.
That'll help you with the heavy Mexican lunch you're about to consume.
It did, yes.
Yeah, well, that's awesome.
So a good trip.
We missed you, though, but you're back.
You're here.
What else can you ask for?
Got to be back.
Yeah, back here.
With all my, my Star Wars or my Disney stuff, I got a, this is a thermal detonator.
Oh, yato, yato.
You could just.
Exactly.
But really what it is, is it's a Diet Coke.
Oh, oh.
These are the soft drinks you get in Galaxy's Edge.
So the Coke ones are red.
The Diet Coke's are gray and red.
That's awesome.
I love that.
Yeah.
I love that.
I would love one of those because I just, that's, I love that part of that movie because she doesn't really say anything.
She says the same two words over and over and everyone understands it.
It's like a giant complicated thing.
But it's just, gettoe, yeah, oh, he says he's here to talk to you.
Yeah, toe.
And he's got a bomb.
Exactly.
So weird.
All right.
Speaking of bombs, not really.
It's this guy.
Our old pal Brian Dunaway joins us for a little Babel Royale this morning.
Hi, Brian.
Oh, hi, Scott and Brian.
Hey.
Hello.
How are you guys doing?
Well, we're okay.
We talked to you yesterday because we recorded Film Sack, had a great time.
We did.
We talked about stealth, the fantastic 2005 adventure action.
You're half correct.
It is from 2005.
Yeah, you're right.
You're almost fully.
If you just take out that fantastic part.
The word's fantastic, yes.
We had a fantastic time talking about it.
Oh, yes, true.
He's poop.
But we had a really good time, and people should check out that episode at
FilmSack.com.
But you're here to play a game.
Brian, Ibit here will explain what we're doing today.
It's a little different than usual.
But, Brian, I'm sure you have the keys to this car.
What's going on?
Yes, the feud server is down, so no feud, no half-truths.
They're working on it.
But in a fallback position, I've got Roger Over Ungerdon.
Welcome to Roger Over Ungerdon.
That's a little reference to Airplane.
too.
Nice.
It's an over-under guessing game where Scott and Brian will take turns guessing
life's weirdest numbers.
The player with the most points after seven questions will win the prize for their
contestant and contestants are pulled from members of the tadpool that aren't able to listen
live.
We still did that.
And Scott, you're going to be playing for Ryan Jones of St. Louis, Missouri.
I like Missouri.
Yeah, cool.
And Brian, you're going to be playing for Brandon French of Concord, California.
Oh, I'm Brandon.
Yeah.
And the winner is going to get two games, the Henry Stickman Collection, and Farmer's Dynasty.
Oh, I have both of those games.
I've only played Farmer's Dynasty.
I do not know about the Stickman Collection, but I actually own both.
They're both probably pretty good.
The runner-up is going to get between the stars.
Oh, that's a great game.
See, once again, the runner-up seems to get the good game.
I've reviewed this on the Boop Show, Brian Dunaway.
You and I, we talked about between the stars.
Yeah, it was very good.
I was there.
Yes, you were.
Excellent. All right. Well, this is great. Let's get cranking. I have no idea how this is going to play out, but I'm excited.
Well, first thing first, we get to figure out who's going to get to guess first.
And Scott, you're going to call heads or tails. This is a metal spira coin from Galaxy's Edge.
That's Heads. This is Tails. Call it in the air.
All right. I was hoping that was a belt buckle.
Heads. It's big enough to be one.
Heads, it is, as you can see. Well done.
All right.
All right, Scott.
I would love it if Brian came back with like a taste for belt buckles.
That would have been amazing.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm now collecting belt buckles or regular.
Yeah, for your wranglers that you wear.
Yeah, haven't helped me go on to Dallas in a few weeks.
Oh, my God.
It's going to be broke.
Yeah, you come home with, those are like hors d'oeuv trays when you wear those.
So be careful.
Exactly, yes.
Yeah.
All right, Scott, what percent of American adults make their own bed every day?
no well
do you make your bed every day
no but my wife does she makes it every single day
she's big on that she loves doing that
my kids don't they're terrible at it and I'm
kind of bad at it like if Kim lees for a week
I don't make it until she gets home so
really yeah dirty little secret
yep exactly all right so
what percent of
of American human
or American adults
American being adults
I'm going to say
I'll say
8 to
can I give a range or just has to be a number
No you have to give me a number
All right I'll meet in the middle and say 10%
10% all right
Brian that is incorrect
Brian is the correct answer
Higher or lower than 10%
Higher than 10%
Is that a question?
Okay all right I wasn't sure if you were asking me
it is higher than 10%.
It's 27%.
Damn it.
And studies have shown a connection between making your bed and overall happiness.
So, Scott, you should make your bed to be happier when Kim has gone.
I am happier when she makes it.
When I walk in there and see it like that, I go, oh, this is nice.
Look how nice this is.
This is how humans live.
Oh, I like it.
This is how the humans live, unlike the rest of us.
All right.
Well, that was bad.
That's a lot higher than I were expected.
Yeah.
That's both higher than I thought it would be.
It's also lower than it should be.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
Very good.
It's absolutely, yeah.
Brian, on average, how many Tic Tacs come in a one-ounce container?
In a one-ounce container?
Yeah, those little plastic square containers, the standard Tick-Tac container.
And I'm not talking about, you know, they started making chunk, chunky tic-tac.
Not talking about the chunky tic-tac.
No.
I'm going to not go with a chunky.
go with a 35.
35 is incorrect.
Scott, is that number higher or lower
than 35? And this is
the normal size... Normal size container with a
normal size tic-tac unit. Okay, just making
sure. I like those orange
ones, but for the record. I do too, yeah.
They don't do anything for your breath. You're just
basically eating tiny candy.
If anything, they contribute to poor breath.
They do, right, because all the sugar in there.
All right. All right.
More or less than 35.
I'm going to go with more.
More is absolutely correct.
60.
On average 60.
Wow.
In one of those little plastic containers.
On average, there's never a set number.
That's interesting.
Right.
Well, it's like however many they fit when they can close the lid kind of thing.
That makes sense.
By the way, there are a lot of countries that prohibit food coloring.
So in those countries, tic tic tacks are white.
Oh.
That's too bad.
They got the crappy while.
But even the orange or the cinnamon ones, are they also white over there?
They probably are.
Probably, yeah.
Every tick-tac is white.
Okay.
All right, back to you, Scott.
How many calories does gum chewing burn per hour?
You're a fan of the gum chewing.
I do like the gum chewing.
You like the gum chewing.
How many calories per hour does gum chewing burn?
Oh, my lord.
It can't be much.
25 calories per hour.
25 calories is incorrect.
Brian,
is that number higher or lower than 25?
I'm going to go lower.
You have to move your legs for like an hour just to freaking or just 15 minutes just to get a hundred calories.
So I don't think chewing your jaw.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Okay.
All right.
The correct answer is 11.
It is lower.
So you get the point, Brian.
Nice.
kissing burns 75 calories folding clothes
150 calories and shoveling snow
well it's the kind that involves coitus
and penetration
yeah if you're kissing like that
yeah for an hour you got to do it for an hour
kissing what burns
75
wait so
so that's wow that's higher than I thought
so what you're saying is is the gum diet
is real and we should all be doing the gum diet
that's what you're saying we should all be doing the gum diet
okay all right if you can chew it with more
parts of your body, you'll burn even more calories.
Sweet. You've got to chew with your hips.
You know, you could use the back of your knees back there.
You got kind of like a knee pit.
Just put some gum back there.
Right. You got two armpits, knee pits, elbow pits.
Yep. Yep.
And the butt.
And a butt. So how many you could, you could wipe out an entire pack of extra at one shot.
Yeah, minty fresh.
Mm.
All right.
That's right.
So there you go.
All right, Brian, in miles per hour, how fast can the cork travel,
when opening a champagne bottle.
So you open your champagne bottle
and you, you know, you aim it away from face,
as it tells you to do.
Aim it away from face.
How many miles per hour on average?
I'm sorry, what's the fastest?
There we go.
There we go.
Fastest.
When at first, probably just like a second or two
after it leaves the bottle
is probably when it's traveling the fastest, right?
Exactly.
And right, before any air friction or anything like that.
And I'm pretty sure that they,
don't have like a world record of oh well
Bill Johnson of
Memphis can open a
champagne bottle at blah blah blah miles per hour
so fast
they go pretty fast man I mean
it seems like it's faster than you know a fast
pitch in baseball so I would say
110
110 is incorrect
Scott is the real answer
higher or lower than 110
miles per hour got to be
lower got to be lower
all right
I'll say the correct
answer is
27.3 miles per hour.
I wasn't even close. It's fast, but it's
not that fast. The pressure inside
a champagne bottle is about three times that
of a car tire. Yeah. If it was
a baseball or 100 miles an hour, they would
regulate something. They'd stop having corks or something because it would
kill people. I thought it's very
light, so I thought maybe like
is it leaves, it's really fast, but then it kind of
slows down very quickly. It's not heavy as a
baseball. No, that's a good point. That's
Like, yeah, you, you wouldn't fire it from, like, say, home plate and hit the pitcher.
No.
It would stop, like, a foot away or something.
I wouldn't make it that far, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, okay, that's cool.
All right.
Using current U.S. coinage, Scott, this one's for you.
How many ways can you make change for a dollar?
Oh.
How many ways?
How many ways?
You're working at the Walgreens.
So, as an example, four quarters would be one way.
Right, right.
because the idea is it has to you can't do that it's almost it's almost infinite not infinite but it's like if I did let's say three quarters but then 25 pennies uh three quarters two dimes and one nickel like exactly that's what you're saying okay that's what I'm saying yeah each of those constitutes a different way to make change um um I'm gonna I have no idea this complete guess here um I'll just say 50
50?
50.
50 is incorrect.
50 ways to be changed from a dollar.
That's right.
In four quarters, borders.
Give me 10 dimes, grams.
How about some nickels?
Pickles?
Pickles.
50 is incorrect.
Oh, that was a good guess.
I did know a guy in high school named Pickles Galash.
That's his real name?
Not his real name.
I can't remember what his real name was, but he went by Pickles Galash.
Galash was his last name.
Okay.
But Pickles was like his little nickname.
Yeah.
I knew a girl.
I told you I dated a girl named lotion.
And that was her real name.
It was her real name.
I love that.
Yes.
All right.
50 is incorrect.
Brian, is the actual answer higher or lower than 50?
Is the answer higher or lower than 50?
I'm going to say, yes, a hair lower.
Okay.
All right.
The actual.
answer is
293.
Wow, it's a tad higher.
My bad.
Quite a tad higher.
So Scott gets the point on that one.
I thought it might be higher just because that feels sort of exponential if you just
because you could say two.
I started doing it.
I'm like, well, if you had, you know, 95 pennies in a nickel.
And I'm like, okay, so you don't consider every penny because all you got to do is
switch out the nickels and the dime.
Yeah, I mean, your denominations, your most fluid, obviously, is the penny.
But you're always going to be five.
or tens after that.
95 pennies and a nickel.
90 pennies and a dime.
Yeah.
Which really what we're describing is a real bad time for a cashier at a drugstore.
That's right.
Exactly.
Or something else helped pass the time during those late night hours
working the gas station convenience store.
Yeah.
Some old guy coming in.
Well, I've got 95 nickels.
Let's see if I can get a dollar out of it.
All right.
Who's ahead here?
I believe this one is you.
Scott, you are now ahead.
Three to two.
All right.
Three to poo.
Three to poo.
All right, Brian.
How many publishers rejected the first Harry Potter manuscript before it was accepted?
All of them.
J.K. Rolling saying,
Oh, look it more new book.
It's about a boy with lightning books gore on his head.
And that's the first round of rejections or the, right, or until she got it finally published.
Until she got it.
Right. How many publishers passed?
I do remember.
reading something about this, but I don't
think they mentioned... They all have stories
like this. Stephen King, same thing. He's got
some horrendous number.
Superman? Like
Bob Crane? That got passed
on a lot before
became... Is that Bob Crane or am I thinking of Batman?
I can't remember who I'm thinking of. Bob Kane was Batman.
Who am I thinking of?
God, it's something like Simon and Schuster. It's
not Simon and Schuster, but it's
two names that were buying Superman. I can't remember what those two names are.
Steven's probably banging his head against the wall here.
probably is he'll tell us uh he'll tell us later now you're not counting the same publishing place
with multiple rejections right you're just saying independent how many publishers
publish okay all right right right okay then i'm going to say oh my god you ever seen the writers market
book good lord there's a lot of publishers out there um i've not seen the writer's market book
oh my god yeah that's uh that's old school man do you get that is that a free delivered this
light like the yellow pages in south carolina they just i don't even know if they even
still do it anymore, but that was like
big during the early 2000.
That's it. Yeah, Siegel and Schuster.
I know they both began with an S.
It just...
Right. Yeah, even with Simon and Schuster,
you were half right. I was half right.
Yes, Siegel and Schultz. I'm going to say
17. 17 is
incorrect.
Scott is the actual answer higher or
lower than 17.
It's got to be higher.
Higher.
Okay. The actual answer is
12.
Yeah.
So very, very close.
That's actually the closest guess I think we've had so far this game.
Which means it's tied right now.
Brian and Scott each have three points.
This final question decides our winner.
Whoa.
And I believe it's going to Scott.
All right.
Let's actually look at the question side of the card.
Here we go.
What percent of Americans with two car garages actually park two cars?
cars in them. Oh. Oh. Well, not nearly enough. My neighbor has tons of room and he fills his
garage with crap and now parks on the street. So it's great. I bet a lot of people do that.
Like, uh, they fill their garage. Yeah. Which is probably part of this. So, um,
might be. I don't know. You know, what's the, yeah. What's the deal with these cars?
Yeah. We have a two car garage and we park two cars in there. That's what you should do. You're
right to do that. Everyone should do that. If you're not doing that, you're weird. Um, I'm going to go
ahead and say
percentage?
This is just Americans?
This is, that's a really good question.
It is Americans, yes.
Okay.
Americans are two car garages.
Because they're not called garages in the UK.
They're called schmurks.
Yeah, schmarts.
Park you, Laurie, and the schmirk.
I'm going to say 65%.
65%.
Is the, that is incorrect.
Brian is the actual answer,
higher or lower than 65%.
Give me that question more time.
Sure.
What percentage of Americans with two-car garages actually park two cars in them?
Nobody around here that I know has a two-car garage that they park both cars in there because
there's always so much trash in there.
I'm going to say lower.
All right.
Is the actual answer higher or lower?
The answer is 43%.
Congratulations, Brian Dunaway.
And congratulations also to Brandon French.
of Concord, California. You're getting
the Henry Stickman Collection and Farmers
Dynasty. But Ryan Jones,
hey, you're going away with a game that
Scott Oud and odd at called
Queen of the Stars. Yeah, actually, I hate
to say this. I really truly do,
but that's the better game of the three.
It's a really good game. The other two are fine, they're
fine. Yeah, yeah. But really, the
loser won today, is what I'm saying. That's what I'm
getting that. Well, well
done, both of you. Congratulations.
So one of you is a chicken dinner.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Done away.
always a pleasure and fun. We have a promo in the news for this, but I'll say it again anyway. You and I are doing the play retro show tomorrow. It's going to be on Tuesdays for a while, folks. We're making room for ANTP, which records on Mondays for us judges. And so to do that, we're doing it on Tuesdays for a bit. Tuesday, 3.30 Mountain Time, same time as the day before. It's up on the schedule now. So if you follow that at all, you've already seen the change. And we're doing the GTA series this week, not just the DTA series, but the
original GTA 1 and 2
the top down stuff. Top
down, yeah. Not only top
down, but
so, oh, it's such a weird series, because
what it led to is enormous
but where it started
is very humble. So, uh,
we'll get to all that, uh, this
coming up, so we're very excited to talk about it.
So check that out.
Brian, anything else you want to tell us before you go?
Uh, yeah, tune in, uh, Twitch.tv.
4 slash Brian done away.
I streamed these games.
usually after 6 p.m. most days
of the week, if you would like to see us play some
Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2,
which I suck it.
Tune in then. I'll be doing it tonight.
Some last second homework,
GTA 2 for our play retro.
Yeah, it turns out that they're, they
maybe don't 100% hold up all these years
later. I'm just going to put that out there.
I'm just going to say,
yeah, you're probably right. I'm saying
they're fine. I'm just saying, you know,
what they led to, big deal and all that.
These are all incremental steps, but those original games,
we'll talk about it.
Brian Dunaway, kiss our butts.
We'll see you later, bye.
He had no time to say...
Kiss our butts.
He had no time to say, no you.
I got him right there, didn't you?
Yeah, you did.
Exactly.
So he is the one stuck kissing butts.
We are free from kissing butts.
That's correct.
All right.
We're going to do some quick news here.
It's today's news, and it's brought to you by.
Play Retro.
Moving to Tuesdays for the next little bit, but at the same time
of day.
3.30 p.m. mountain time
here at twitch.tv slash frogpans
this week.
As we just mentioned,
Scott and Dunaway, steal a cab,
and drive down to GTA 1 and 2
and see if those old top-down
open world games still hold up now.
Get the show, wherever you get your podcast,
just search, play Retrow.
Yes, indeed.
That's called reinforcement.
We talked about it,
and then we reinforced it with an ad read.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the way you do it.
Maslow's stages of learning 2.3 times
gets the message across.
Oh, well, we got to
point three coming up later everybody watch for that yeah exactly uh ginnis the guinness book of world record
people you know them yeah they have declared they're people who also do records yeah that's what they
do uh they declared massive a massive israeli strawberry is the world's heaviest
oh yeah yeah yeah we've been eating strawberries around here because for some reason they're good
right now this time of year i don't know why i don't know where they're coming from are you
are you uh no we can't grow them until oh yes way too early to grow them
I think April we can start, but, um, but yeah, like they're, I don't know where they're coming from and they're this good, but they're, I've been, I've been hinky about storebought strawberries ever since I saw that stupid video with the salt water and all the worms sliding out of them.
Yeah, they're in there, too.
Like, yeah, we did it here and it worked.
Stuff came out of that.
Yeah, I know, exactly.
It's like, yeah, I've been eating those damn worms all my life.
What do I care?
Yeah, why not?
You've been eating, but now that you know, now that you know, it's harder, right?
It's just harder.
Yeah, it's a little harder.
Probably South America, chat.
You're right, I assume.
But anyway, some warmer climes have got good strawberries right now.
Anyway, after a year-long jam,
a mammoth Israeli strawberries entered in the record books forever,
weighing whopping 289 grams.
That's 10.19 ounces.
That's more than half a pound,
for those here who refused to do anything but imperial.
The Titanic berry this week was declared the world's largest
by the Guinness World Records.
The strawberry was picked by Shahi Ariel's family farm.
Did I get that right, probably?
I think so, yeah.
The Shahee, you don't like it.
In the city of Netanyah in central Israel, February of 2021, but only this week they confirmed it as the heaviest on record.
We waited for a year for the results, they said.
We kept in the freezer for a year no longer as pretty as it was.
So there's a photo of this thing.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's kind of gnarly looking.
I hope when people see it, they go, Barry.
Barry.
Well, that's not, that's not as big as I was expecting.
Like, I was expecting a small pumpkin size.
Yeah, I guess half pounds about right, but I don't know.
You're right, though.
It's pretty compressed.
It's, it doesn't look very good either.
Like, it's black and strawberries are not supposed to be black.
No, they're not.
They are not, as that old clip would remind us.
And as we know, the smaller strawberries are the better flavored ones.
They're sweeter.
Yeah, they're sweeter.
Yeah.
The bigger ones are kind of sour and lame?
Yeah, yeah.
Why is that?
I don't know.
It's like they all have the same amount of sugar potential,
and the smaller ones just pack it into a smaller area.
It's a really, ang, strange thing.
It's also very, it's a very Danny Aange thing.
Utah Connection.
All right, moving on.
How about this one?
The Queen, you know that Queen's 70-year reign,
and every year she does the Jubilee thing?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Or whatever it is, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, or I guess it's for whatever her birthdays are.
I don't know how it works.
Was that your spelling of Jubilee in the headline, by the way?
Well, that's the whole story.
So, uh, that's why I've read it yet.
The Queen's, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee is eminent and there's no money to be made from souvenirs.
Uh, or there is money, sorry.
But like many of the ideas devised by Peckman's finest, the vital detail, uh, scuppers the deal.
Is that a...
Scuppers, the deal.
It was Ron Weasley's familiar was Scuppers.
She had this made.
So these were made in China.
And you got to see this.
So it says.
Do they misspell Jubilee?
Yeah.
It says,
Jubilee.
Jubly.
Platinum Jubilee.
Yeah.
It says right here,
here I'm going to pull this up for the chat.
Oh, that's fantastic.
So right down there below her name, the above her name,
the platinum jubly of Queen Elizabeth II.
Jubilee.
Oh, I want that one.
Like, I want a, I want a plate that says the platinum jubble.
Yeah, I want one of these more than I'd want the real thing.
Oh, 100%.
I don't care about, I don't care about the authentic.
Yeah.
No, I want, I want the.
The jubly.
I want jubly.
I would, I would celebrate the jubly with the queen.
Yes.
And she would be very happy that I was there with her.
All right.
Well, that's your stories for today.
We're going to take a break when we come back.
We got our old pal, Stephen Schleiker, joining us.
He was out last week.
He was back today.
I'm excited to talk to him, and no, he didn't see Batman.
So we're telling you right now, don't be asking in the chat.
I'm pretty about a Batman.
His theaters, like mine, kind of suck.
But anyway, we'll get to that in a second.
Before all that, we need a song.
Brian brought one, and this will be, like, I returned to forum, everybody.
Last week, I was, like, all over the place with music.
Brian's going to bring us back down to Earth and give us some.
Oh, I looked at your music selections.
I saw them on QuicktmS.L.I.
and I looked at your music selections and I thought,
oh, that's some good music you picked.
There's some decent stuff.
One of them was one you'd already played on here.
Some other ones are just some personal favorites.
I just, you know, kind of ran out of ideas, to be honest, but I enjoyed it.
I applaud you for not falling back to covers of Toto's Africa.
I'm impressed.
Yeah, some people are mad at me for not doing that, but that's fine.
Are you really?
Yeah, well, not mad, you know, they just thought I would do it.
I thought I would do it.
Africa, burn.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, let's go to this.
This is a TikTok star.
What?
Brian is picking a TikTok star. I am. Addison Grace sharing their second single. This is a song called
Makes Me Sick. Addison is trying not to ruin something good with their second single.
Wow. But they're based out of Salt Lake City and their non-binary, which is why I keep saying they.
They're based out of Salt Lake City. Addison Grace, here is their second single, Makes Me Sick.
You just woke up
I burned my tongue
You watched mistakes
In my coffee cup
Are strange to wet
I won't escape
The best to have
But I'm afraid
And oh
This may
I'll try to ruin this, rip it all to stress, piece it back together just to break it all again, I'll try to ruin this, like my life depends, if I'm being honest, I'm loving, I don't want this, I don't want this, I don't want this,
You made a mess
I cleaned it up
And normally I don't do much
I pick a fight, you say I'm right
That I'm in all
I'm in
And oh
Oh it makes me
I'll try to ruin this
Rip it all to shreds
piece it back together just to break it all again
I'll try to ruin this
like my life depends
if I'm being honest
I'm lovesick and I don't want this to end
I'm love sick and I'm
I'll try to ruin this, rip it off two shreds.
Peace it back together just to break it all again.

Thank you, Scott Fletcher.
Hey, Brian, what was that song once again?
Yeah. That song again is Makes Me Sick by Addison Grace, a brand new single from the TikTok Star.
Yeah. I'd heard of her. I didn't know she was from here, or they were from here. I had no idea.
That's interesting. You talk connection. Once again.
You talk connection.
My favorite thing, and I know people were sick of me talking about it last week, but those tracks I played from the Aces, I'm telling you, those guys are the legit.
Oh, love the Aces. Yeah, there's another one that we've played a couple times as far as the indie in the middle.
Waiting for something new from them.
Come on.
I think something new is coming.
There was some word on their Twitter account that they were about to drop some something.
Good.
New music coming, I guess, out of them.
Excellent.
All right.
Let's see.
Oh, yeah.
Major spoilers.
That's who.
Yeah.
Steven Schleiker.
Schleiker.
Get in here, Schleiker.
Tell us what for?
Hello, Stephen.
Are you there?
Oh, you're very quiet.
You're quiet.
Yeah.
almost silent.
Oh, much better.
Much better.
All right.
I almost forgot.
Stephen Schlecker.
Stephen Schlecker.
Hey, look who it is.
Steven Schleiker from major spoilers.com in Hayes, Kansas.
The beautiful downtown Hays, Kansas.
Hello, Stephen.
How are you?
Hello, Scott.
Hello, Brian.
It's nice to have you here.
Hey, how was your week?
I know you weren't feeling great last week.
I hope you're doing well.
Oh, yeah, much better now.
It was just like zero energy,
sore body. Let me sleep
for a day and a half. And that worked for you. That's good.
Well, flu, probably. I don't know. I didn't have
temperature, didn't have congestion. It was just like
I'm going to have some aches and pains for a couple
of days and then fine.
Well, it's good to have you here. I'm glad
you're feeling at least that much better
to join us. I assume
I said this already. I already know it's true,
but you didn't go see Batman. But what do you
think of all these reviews? Seems pretty strong.
Seems like it did all right. Everything
that I'm seeing is pretty
split. So there are some people that are really, really
in the camp of this is the greatest Batman movie of all time and the other group is just like
man why does it have to be Batman? I hate Batman. So you've got those two groups there.
I'll say this. Here's the thing. And you guys maybe have talked about it last week. I am so far behind
on my podcast listening. But not only will I not go to my movie theater because it's a piece
of crap movie theater, but it's also owned by AMC. And AMC is now charging for premium movies
a dollar to $2 more for tickets for the Batman. So,
So already AMC is charging like 14 bucks in most places.
So to go and see the Batman, you now are going to either pay 15 or 16 bucks.
They implemented it this past weekend for the opening of this movie.
So if you need another reason to avoid AMC theaters completely, there you go.
That sucks, because they're the most convenient theater for us, right?
We've got two very good ones as our two closest theaters.
And so we do the AMC stubs, right?
We pay the whatever.
we pay most of the or a little bit more than what you just described for one ticket we pay for a month and see as many as we want but uh that sucks it makes me want to switch over and drive a little further for alamo draft house yeah that is a bummer i heard about that too and i just thought well wait a minute how are you is that even um i mean i guess there's nothing illegal about it but i mean it just seems really skeezy to me to do that i mean so apparently and i haven't confirmed all of this but some of my international friends have said that
Their movie theaters charge premium for seats.
Like if you want to sit in the middle of the theater, that is the most expensive ticket.
So if we expand that outward, this kind of makes sense.
I don't know how the breakdown goes to theaters and all and to the studios.
But if you think about something that's going to be a big movie, like an Avengers movie or a Dr. Strange movie, they're going to, you know, they're going to have people pack the theater.
It's going to be the premium.
Yeah.
Probably not so much for Morbiased, but definitely for Dr. Strange.
I don't know. I bet they charge for Morbius.
You think?
Yeah, I think so.
I bet they pay people to come see Morbius.
I don't know.
I think Morbius is probably going to do all right.
I think it's going to do it.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to a non-venom Spider-Man world movie.
The concern I think is that it is, will it be, if it's good, I think it'll do well because word of mouth is whatever.
But that movie is like how many people really make.
mainstream-wise have any idea who Morbius is, or that he's even part, like, you're going to really push that he's part of the, you know, Marvel universe of some sort or else, people are just like, what, this is a vampire movie, that guy I don't like that much. Yeah. It's got, that's going to have Batman in it. So, you know, reprising his role as the vulture. So, you know, that's right. And also Dr. Who is in there. So you've got that. Dr. Who is in there. Hold on. Which Doctor Who is in there? I can't, I didn't know with us.
Smith, Matt Smith.
Oh, I did know that.
Okay, never mind.
Yeah.
I saw him and went.
Scott, if you and Kim went to AMC and you're paying, you know, let's say 15 bucks apiece.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's 30 bucks just to get in to see the Batman.
Yeah.
How much are you paying for your HBO Max?
I'm paying, what, 15 a month or whatever they do, 12, whatever it is, whatever it is.
It's going to be cheaper than going to the movie theater.
A hell of a lot cheaper.
And look, all they're asking me to do in this particular case is wait 45 days.
I think I might be fine waiting.
Like, why not?
I got enough stuff.
I have enough stuff to see and do.
It's not like I'm going to die if I don't see it right away.
And since I'm not even...
You've got movies that we've recommended to that you haven't even watched yet.
Damn straight.
Oh, you're waiting.
Yes.
Let alone all the TV.
Check this out.
Yeah.
This week on the major spoilers podcast, we're going to be talking about some of the
greatest what-if comics that were ever released.
This is the week Scott was supposed to be on the show, but guess who decided not to show it?
I know the irony is there.
What is?
What if Scott watched?
Yeah.
What if Scott watched?
What if?
It's a real.
There was a communication here.
There was a real.
Yes.
And it seems ironic, I know.
But I promise you, it had nothing to do with that.
But yeah, like, uh, this universe where Scott watched parasite.
Let's see what happened.
But I am going to, I am going to, you know, I guess what I'm saying is I got 45 days to do the things you guys are teasing.
me about. And when that comes back around, then I'll watch the Batman. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. What rush are we in?
We're not in any rush. Okay? This is the new world. Not any rush. Yeah. It used to be. Not now.
Because it used to be, hey, you want to wait a year and a half for VHS or do you want to watch it now?
Well, the choice was easy. It was also less than five bucks. A ticket. It's just different now.
So I'm fine. And I'm okay getting spoiled on the Batman before we see it. There's still, you know, one more, one more Oscar nominee that we've got to see before Batman.
And if I see a spoiler before and I'm okay with that.
Just don't spoil my Dr. Strange and we'll be all good.
If you want to see a really good Zoe Kravitz film.
I mean, it's good.
It's not great.
But Zoe Kravitz is in a, is it Netflix.
Kimmy.
Kimmy is a great little.
This was my recommendal, not last week, because I wasn't here with the week before last.
And you're right.
It's good.
It's better than average.
It's not jaw dropping.
But if you've seen a blowout, you've seen, you've seen Kimmy.
Oh, okay.
The, right, the, the, the, uh, the, uh, Gene Hackman over, over here's, the conversation.
The conversation's another one like that.
Yeah, John Travolta was blowout.
Gene Hackman was the conversation.
Uh, but I got to give kudos to the director for making a movie during a pandemic where the
pandemic wasn't even a character, like wasn't even a factor in it.
That's good.
I like that.
Yeah.
I like when they do that.
that damn pandemic.
She was also in the Mad Max Fury Road.
She was one of the many, or the mothers there.
I don't think I've ever seen the, or the wives, rather.
Yeah, oh, you should see it.
It's very good.
One of this movie come out?
That's very good.
It came out 2015, but in my life, it comes out almost every day.
Is it any good?
That's my concern.
I'm going to go ahead and just tell you that it's one of the greatest films
ever made.
I don't know if you've heard this for me before.
Furiosa will be the one thing that gets got back into a theater temporarily.
you know what that's a really good question i would have to i would have to travel to a good
theater yeah to make you come to colorado come to denver come to arvada we'll see it at the uh at one of
the good theaters here isn't there a song goes come to denver come out to denver
please come to denver for the springtime that's it that's it right is that's playing and
furiosa and we got lots of room except she's not but that's okay
the pop going here has got some fake butter i wish she was there
She's reportedly not at all in it, and that bums me out.
But also, I like big-eyed what's her name, so it'll be fine.
She'll be good.
Yes, big-eyed, what's her name?
Anya, give her all the names.
Vevich.
Vich.
No, you're not going to do it.
Anya, Taylor, Joy, Jr., McGillacuddy, Farnsworth.
Perfect. Well done.
All right, well, there you go.
Let's talk about DiMaggio, and I, dude, I said this on this show multiple times.
People didn't believe me.
They said, that Futurama thing's screwed.
He's not going to do it.
Bender's not coming about.
I promise you
they will find a way
to get him on there
or they won't do it
and people said
whatever Scott
it's over
get used to it
of course they did
they made a deal
he's on
he's in there
he did whatever
I don't know what deal
they made
I don't think
they can make that
public but
he got whatever
deal done he needed
money
yeah and Bender
will be back
so what were you
all worried about
I'm not
I'm not yelling at you chat
there was some
I can't remember
what show I was on
I was on some show
where either a co-host
or somebody was giving me
shit thinking that this was a that this was they were like this is no this is a done deal it's
not going to happen you're screwed I'm like no right I don't think so there's always yeah
they just needed to keep increasing until they found the right number and then he signed yeah
then he was in and I hope it was a good deal because it is true voice actors get short shrift
a lot for projects that they shouldn't and uh you know he held out and a lot of voice actors
backed him and and I'm glad he did and but he's also bender again so maybe it was core I think
we did talk about it on core that might have been at anyway so it's coming it's happening uh were you
excited there step i'm i am excited of course uh futurama has been one of those things that
mat graining has been able to do pretty much anything he wanted after he got screwed out of the
out of his deal with the uh with the simpsons over on fox yeah so it's good to let him run wild
and do what he wants with this universe i agree i'm very much looking forward to that i love the
second reboot and i like to the original run and i would watch
it all ahead of time again for the 50th time before I watch
Loki. I'll watch this again. That's how that'll go.
Also, Halo is getting a second season before the first season
even gets here. So they've greenlit that. The reasoning there,
what is that? Are they just that confident or what?
This is the awesomest thing that ever awesome, they said in a
pressed release that may or may not be real.
Apparently, they have a lot of faith in this thing. I mean, the trailers,
we've only seen a couple of trailers for this thing. One of them
just around the Super Bowl time. But March 24,
is when we'll be able to see for ourselves on Paramount Plus,
for those of you that subscribe to Paramount Plus,
but they are into it enough to where they're just like,
okay, we're going for this.
Yeah, I'm very excited.
I feel like I'm supposed to be cautiously, cautious about it
because it's a video game thing, adaptations are hard, blah, blah, blah.
But after seeing those trailers and seeing some of the stuff they've got planned,
I think it looks pretty good.
and I guess I'm just
I'm more optimistic than cautiously optimistic at this stage
and now hearing that they've already greenlit season two
I mean that's either that could be just a huge injection
of Microsoft money that could be a lot of reasons
why they're just saying green light let's go
maybe that helps everybody get more interested in season one
and not just you know blow it off as a potential
bad video game adaptation
but I'm ready man let's go it'll be good
so I don't know what the subscription numbers are
at Paramount Plus
Certainly a lot of Star Trek fans have been all over that service as well as as well as others.
But this may be one of those things where, and nobody knows how this show is going to go.
I'll skip it.
Maybe I'll get around to it someday kind of thing.
But now if you know that it's going to be in for a second season, they're like, oh, okay, they seem committed to this.
I will also commit to watching this.
Yeah.
So I'm in.
Are either of you excited speaking video game adaptations, excited for the Twisted Metal series?
Yes.
No.
Yes.
Anthony, come on, Anthony Mackie.
You got to be excited.
Why wouldn't you be excited?
It's freaking twisted metal.
It's ridiculous.
It's over the top.
It's post-apocalyptic.
It's basically, you know, death race.
It's a kind of death race sort of.
Kind of like a, like, would you say that they're all angry on some kind of a highway system?
Yeah.
It's more arena-based, but I take your point.
Yeah, but it does feel like it's in a post-apocalyptic future kind of thing.
I love the twisted metal games.
What I'm more interested in is the fact that they're going to revive it in this way
means that a new twisted metal is probably underway.
Oh, for sure.
I want to know who's going to play the guy who's like just the dude with the two giant wheels.
Like the Oreo cookie car.
His name was Axel.
He's awesome.
Axel.
Yeah.
Axel is great.
What was that movie from back in the 80s?
Beverly Hills Cop?
No, Death Race 2000.
Yeah, Death Race.
Dude, those Death Race movies, there's a whole bunch of those.
They're stupid as hell.
great yeah uh yeah twisted metal uh black i think was maybe the last one i played and and it's been
maybe that long since they've done something new they did have a psp game uh i forgot what that was
black was p s 3 right yeah p uh no two but then they put out a follow up or they put out
like a revamp on three it was the same game basically um i actually can you can still play
it on a playstation 5 funny enough that one's backwards compatible and i played it the other day
and who does not look good i'm sure it does it
However, the first ones on PS1, 1 and 2, me and my friend, Andrew, I mean, we played that stuff well into the middle of the night every night.
We loved those games.
They were amazing.
And I'm telling you, in a world where shooters are dominated by battle royals, the fact that the original battle royale game, which is really last man standing gameplay, that was all twisted metal was.
So bring that back, give me 100 cars in there, and let's have it come down to one last dude.
Oh, my gosh.
I want this.
So to answer your question, yes.
I'm very excited about just a middle and a television show.
That'd be great.
Why not?
Why not?
Yeah, why not?
I did hear some bad news.
Noah Holly, who's doing the new aliens adaptation TV thing, which I'm very excited about.
It's not bad news, bad news, because he's still doing it.
It's happening.
But Fargo season 5, which I also love Fargo, is going to happen before that.
Oh, okay.
So they're going to do Fargo Season 5, and then...
So I guess what I'm saying is we're really far away from this aliens thing,
and that bums me out, because I think that sounds great.
I want to see what he does.
Well, the director was, there was a different name than...
Like, it's somebody I hadn't heard of before, the aliens thing.
Hold on a second.
I thought that was Noah Hawley, no?
It is not.
Let me...
I just had that.
That can't be right.
My brain's predicting.
He may be showrunner.
Yeah, Fede Alvarez.
to write oh this is never mind this is the alien standalone movie that is coming out
oh okay not the series sorry yes different uh yeah there it is got uh alien film coming to
hulu is the one you're thinking of that's a whole different thing exactly okay oh i'm excited about
that too maybe we'll get that in between and that'll satisfy me right exactly all right i'm
all in uh it says here uh alien series from no holly will probably not premiere till next year
but that's still pretty good.
Oh, next year's growing.
Yeah, that's a short run time.
Does that mean I'm going to get Fargo between now and then?
Because that'd be great.
Probably.
Oh, shit.
See, this is what I like.
All these things that make me not care that Batman's 45 days away.
It's fine.
Yeah.
It's probably going to be a little bit longer than 45 days.
Yeah, probably.
Because the movie opened at like 135,
and I think the deal was that if it does over $50 million the opening weekend,
And they can push that 45-day window back like another month.
Hovering at 85% Rotten Tomato score, 90% audience score.
It is, I'm trying to see what it made.
Do you have the numbers that it made over the weekend by chance?
It was like it's $134 million domestic box office.
Okay.
Minus the whatever percentage that AMC took for their extra two bucks.
Hearing really good things about Paul Dano as the riddler.
I want to see him do that.
Yeah, I'm excited about that.
That's really interesting.
And I didn't know John Tutoro was Carmine Falcone.
I didn't know. Ridlers in this movie?
Oh, man.
I know.
Weird, right?
Look at all these spoilers I'm giving you.
James Gordon.
Lieutenant Gordon's in this before he was commissioner.
Yeah, yeah.
The penguin.
Did you hear about this?
The penguin and Catwoman.
Man, the penguin.
Whoever they cast that, that sounds like a real bullseye.
Oh, man.
Only about half the people got that joke, but I appreciated it.
I appreciated it.
All right.
Well, there you.
you have it. Stephen is always
the pleasure is ours talking to you.
Like he mentioned, I am on the major spoilers
podcast once a month, and it will not be
this week. It'll be next. I'll be on Tuesday.
So look forward to that.
And, of course, this week you got all kinds
of cool content. Anything you want to mention?
Yeah, if you are into time travel movies,
like I'm into time travel movies, like a big time,
our most recent top five
podcast, we ran down
our favorite five
time travel movies, kind of part
two. Give you a hint.
Back to the Future was not my number one on this round because I talk about Back to the Future so much.
So I intentionally avoided that and a couple of others.
But if you're looking for some good time travel movie recommendations, go check out the latest top five podcast.
There's a newer one that I'm not going to say because I watched it for recommendals.
But I'm curious.
I'll have to message you separately and see if you've watched it because it was a very different take on time travel that I kind of liked, even though I think it still's broken.
Is it a new movie?
It's relatively new, yeah.
All right, message me on it.
I will.
I have some thoughts, I'm sure.
Okay.
Okay.
Bill and Ted go back in time.
It's not time cop.
No, it's not time cop.
It's not the new Bill and Ted.
No.
Okay, good.
All right.
Well, Stephen, have a wonderful week.
And we'll see you soon.
Stay hydrated.
Bye now.
All right.
Oh, the dogs are going off.
Let's see what I think you're right.
Yeah, we got a siren, some sort of siren business.
We had the weirdest hailstorm come out of nowhere the other day.
And as a result, there was,
some fires or some other stuff.
So there's sirens all during this horrible hailstorm, big thunder and lightning.
And the dogs just lost their minds.
It was the end of the world for them.
They're okay now.
All right.
Hey, Monday morning mashup, all cute up and ready to go.
This from TMS mashups.
Big thanks to Jamie and all his hard work.
I have no idea what this is about this week, but I do know what's called hard geography.
And we're going to.
And not difficult either.
Not difficult hard.
We'll get to it.
Oh, all right.
Well, then let's find out.
Here you.
Other people's DNA and put your finger in it.
That's what's gross.
Would you put your finger in somebody's little, I don't know,
sperm puddle in a hotel?
Would you do that?
You wouldn't, would you?
What kind of hotels are you staying at, Scott?
Do you think those weird, baggy short things will come back?
What are those called?
Umlouts or cum louts or bumlouts.
What are they called?
Kulat.
Kulats, that's it.
My dad, who never got physical with me at all growing up,
put his boot up my butt.
His boot, I think, penetrated my bum.
He just looks good.
Look at him.
Whipping his d' around, putting it in his pants.
It's not sopping wet.
It's moist, though.
Is it moist?
Yeah, a little bit, yeah.
His hole would open up and he would just, you know, stick it out there.
A guy's so big, it took two people to fill his hole.
The hardness of it is a multitude, there's a multitude of hard things happening.
You were wearing pants.
Oh, yeah, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Took all that stuff up there with it?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
The whole party came up.
Even then, like, even if it's just a health thing.
Does he go into the other room?
Somebody has to check the Pope's prostate.
Yes.
Make him turn his head and cough.
But does he do it in the robes is the question?
Does he pull it to the side, pull out his little Pope wiener?
And does it have a gold ring on it or something?
You know, like, what are we doing with the Pope?
This is what I've been saying for years.
It's got to be very, very strange that Queen Elizabeth has a pap smear.
That's just got to be really, really weird.
Yeah, right?
You got to get in there.
Check the joke.
This is what normal people do.
Yeah.
Weird.
It's mostly horses.
So you're jacking horses.
Well, that sounds wrong.
Don't jack a horse.
This purchase comes.
with 30 heavy balls. Oh.
Oh, heavy balls.
Heavy balls. That's 15 men right there.
It's like 15 large men. Bob Dole says, he's out. Done.
For a guy that bombed so hard during election day, we sure did love talking about his penis.
Yeah, we loved his penis. We loved his penis. We do. And we miss it. Bless up to Bob Dole's
penis. May it be looking down on all of us right now from heaven. And may it be looking
up while it's there. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want to look it down. Yeah. Dude.
rock rock solid rock solid hey look at this we need to learn how to pronounce this uh pronounce

so i've learned a little something about geography and gotten erect it's good yeah yeah
brian'll never say but he actually got it when he heard the boot story that's what really got
I don't remember the boot story.
What was the boot story?
It was your dad kicking you with his boot up your butt and taking your pants and everything with it.
That's right.
That's right.
My sister's mad that I told that story, but whatever.
Is she really?
Yeah, Misha.
Misha hates that story because I always tell it.
Usually she's around and she's just embarrassed.
She's embarrassed any time I bring anything up.
It's slightly awkward.
Well, what member of your family doesn't get embarrassed when you talk?
Exactly.
Wendy, mainly Wendy's fine with it.
She doesn't care.
Her and I are a lot more.

Listen to this rad song Brian Brought.
What are we playing?
What's going on?
Yeah, the rad song Brian Brat.
Listen, I'm going to tell you people right now.
It's amazing that none of you have birthdays in March or anniversaries or celebrating
anything in March because I need some request people.
I do have one for today.
This one's going out to Leah.
Actually is from last week.
March 2nd was her birthday.
She says, I share it with Bon Jovi and Dr. Seuss.
I've had Dr. Seuss themed birthdays in the past, most memorable with my 18th.
Oh, the places you'll go.
But never a Bon Jovi theme party.
Perhaps I'll fix that this year.
I enjoy them both.
So if you could play something Bon Jovi or Dr. Seuss-related, that would be awesome.
Thanks, guys, signed Leah.
Well, why not both Bon Jovi and Dr. Seuss themed?
Yeah.
Because I don't have anything both Dr. Seuss and Bon Jovi themed.
I do have this great cover here of You Give Love a bad name that is swing skiffle style.
I probably the closest thing.
This is by a band called Dalbani.
It was included on an album called Barbershot Music from 2020.
Here is their cover of Bon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Name.
An angel smile is what you saw
He promised me heaven
Then put me through hell
Chains of love
Gotta hold on me
When passions are prison
You kill and break free
Oh, you're a loaded gun
There's no one to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shut through the hearts
And you're too plain
You give love
A bad name
I'll play my part
Then you'll play your game
You give love
A bad man
You give love a bad name
You bear your smile
On your lips
That red nails on your fingertips
Schoolboys dream
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Oh, now you're a loaded gun
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me the damage is done
Shot through the hearts
When you're too plain
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you'll play your game, darling
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you'll play your game
darling you give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
