now picture that but everywhere this is the morning stream good morning everybody welcome back to tms it's the morning stream for march 10th 2022 uh this is mario day for the baby Mario day now why that one doesn't bother me but uh may the fourth be with you bothers me i think i know why because march 10th looks like Mario if you put the one in the zero at the end so it's Mario right I like that but when I say may the fourth be with you it sounds like I'm saying I have a lisp it's like you're making fun of people with speech impediments yes we're not we're not all about that here we're we're you know pro people with speech impediment you're your your family okay welcome welcome to the show and I'm glad you're here and you're in a safe place

I'm Scott, and that's Brian. Brian, we had, yesterday was weird. I woke up at like, I don't know, 6.30 or something with a terrible sore throat and a heinous headache, like migraine level headache. So I send Brian a text. I'm like, I don't know if this is going to happen today. I feel like garbage. Maybe we'll bump and blah, blah, blah, and shift Randy the next day in this stuff.

And you're like, yeah, that sounds fine. Turns out I kind of got something too. So we were both like having this weird moment. So aliens then, right? Aliens. Is that it? Aliens. You know what I was ready to blame?

I decided on Tuesday afternoon, so I'm still technically still employed by Lyft. Oh, right. And so I get their emails every once in a while saying, hey, we need drivers. Come back and drive for us, please. And it's like, no thing. Sorry, forget it. Do they offer you any bonuses or anything to do that? This week they did.

And it was when we were flying back from California, I got a little email that said, hey, if you do 25 rides next week, then we'll give you an extra 300 bucks. Like, yeah, 300 bucks? I mean, you know, I'm sitting here looking at a week, a few days at Disneyland where I easily drop that much in a freaking gift shop. Yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I was going to say 300 bucks is not nothing. So, you know, it's not too bad. But 25 rides is a lot of rides.

It's more than you think, isn't it? It is if you don't do it the smart way, the Brian way of doing rides. Okay, everyone sit back and get ready for this advice. Yeah, well, for me, I mean, there's a very specific place. Boulder, Colorado, this little microcosm of college students and hippies and a little too far for people to say it's a nice, it's worth it to get a ride to the airport, to pay for a lift to get to the airport. But a lot of people say, ah, it's worth it. to get a ride to the coffee bean or to sprouts or whatever. So Boulder is great and it's small enough that I go up there and I can probably knock out six or seven rides in 90 minutes.

It's pretty good. So three of those and boom, I got 300 extra bucks in my pocket. Plus what the people tip me because I played Dave Matthews band because, again, I'm in Boulder. Oh, okay. Yeah, no. Really? Dave Matthew still, okay. No, I do.

I play, my go-to playlist, by the way, is, it's on Apple Music. It's a great one. It's called I Miss Brit Pop, and it's Oasis and Pulp, and that Elasticist song, The Connection. Oh, yeah. I love that. I'm going to go get that playlist right now. What's it called? You should.

It's called I Miss Brit Pop, and it's got a little cassette on it of a Brit Pop cassette. And you'll listen to that and go, oh, I love this. song, and you might say, oh, I don't know this song, Trash by Swade. I know it because I'm a huge Swade fan, but the typical American Rip Pot fam might not know Swade. All I know about Swade is a weirdly photo, tell me if I'm wrong, but like a weirdly

airbrushed couple making out on the cover of some album. Yeah, that was the first album when they were called the Linden Swade that had Animal Nitrate. Oh, such a freaking great song. I love that band. I don't know why I don't, I can't think of any music, but I can think of that album cover. Yeah, like the big hit for them was a song called Beautiful Ones. Not to be confused with the song Beautiful Ones by Prince, but it, um, it was a, you know,

again, another thing to queue up. After you queue up that playlist, pull up that song in YouTube. And it's one of the first lyric videos I can remember where they just pick out one word out of each verse and, you know, a girl holds out her tongue and it's got that word on it. Or a guy lifts up the side of his shirt and he's got that tattooed or somebody opens their shirt and they've got a t-shirt saying that word and it's uh that's pretty great um it's great yeah and common people right off the top second track uh the pulp original that william shatner covered um got in your uh blur girls and boys is in there mix a mix of 80s and 90s mostly yeah mix of it's it's pretty much all 90s and um and people you know for whatever reason

And that's what I catch people whistling or humming along to in the car behind me is, you know, stuff from this playlist. That's like, all right, this is good. I enjoy it. They enjoy it. And 300 extra bucks for the, for 25 rides. Well done. Yeah, exactly. So I drove a couple people around.

I didn't make it up to Boulder. I mistakenly turned on my, um, my lift online when I was in the car wash thinking, well, I'll drive. I'll turn it up now and then I'll drive up to Boulder. It'll take me 10 minutes. and I'll start getting rides. No, I got rides right away. And it was kind of all in this, like, sketchy part of northeast Denver that I don't like driving in.

Sure. You don't want to be picking people up in there. No, exactly. But everybody was nice. One guy stunk. Stunk to the point where when Tina got in the car to go to trivia Tuesday night, she said, ugh, what is that? And I said, yeah, I think it's a mix of whiskey, cigarettes, and B.O.

That the guy in the backseat had. Speaking to Seinfeld, you're never going to get that smell completely out of the back. Fortunately, I cracked the windows during trivia. It was gone by the time. Okay, whew! Okay, good, good. That reminds me, I have a smelly car story, kind of, sort of. Oh, do you?

Okay, good. It leads to much cooler thing. So yesterday, not a great day, not very productive, felt like crap all day, tried to sleep it off, tried to lay around with the dog, that sort of thing. Eventually, it works around four, three, four o'clock last night. I'm starting to feel good. And it's about the time the storm broke and snowfalls. and that might have been the trick, like the pressure finally popped.

I don't know. I don't know what I'm way too sensitive to weather stuff. Anyway, had plans for a while, and I really didn't want to cancel them, so I didn't, to meet up with a fan. Been talking to this guy forever on Twitter. I only know him from his Twitter avatar, which is a pig I drew years ago. And so I just know him from that. His name is Harold Burke. He was visiting here, not visiting.

He's here for work. He's a police officer in Nashville. And he was here doing some, like, SWAT training stuff in, just not far from me, actually. So he's like, yeah, I'm staying at this place near South Jordan. We, you know, we should get together and grab something to eat him. Like, that sounds great. And he was like, hey, bring Kim. I'm like, yeah, that's a great idea.

Let's do that. We're bringing Kim. We're all going to hang out. And he listens to everything, including TMS every day, although he hasn't this week because he's, you know, in training. Because he's, yeah, right. So anyway, we met up. Now, here's a couple of hilarious things. First of all, the reason the car smelled, Kim had a big bag.

We forgot it was in there. A giant bag of mulch in the car. Or soil, was it? Or whatever. But it has like some percentage of manure. Yeah. So it's like 30, 70, 30% manure, 70% dirt. And then made the car just funky.

It was like really bad. And we forgot it was in there. We're like, oh, no. But I'm like, he doesn't care. Whatever. It'll explain it to him. That was number one. Number two, we get down there, and I pull in and I realize, oh, my gosh, he's staying in the hotel that we all, that most people stayed in, and you and I spent a ton of time signing CDs in in 2011 for Nurtacular that year.

Oh, yeah, okay. I remember that. Remember that Hampton? Learn how to play Magic the Gathering. Yeah. Kapal and Storm were there that year. With a great Ralphie. I guess it was 2012.

Yeah, Ralph was there. Good pictures of him there. Played a lot of cards against humanity, and people discovered. what kind of sense of humor I have when microphones aren't in my face. Yeah, yeah. Dirty old, Dirty old grandpa, but they call you now.

That's right. Exactly. Anyway, so it was weird. That place is barely changed because I went into the room or into the entry thing. And it's the exact same tables, the exact same everything. Oh,

why on earth would a place like that change? Exactly. Exactly. So anyway, that was just a funny thing to have happened. Yeah. So we decided to go to this bar pizza place that's hopping and everyone loves right now, and I forgot the name of it. It's like something weird, like Skeakwater or some kind of weird

name. We go there first, and Harold's awesome, by the way. Totally cool dude. The name Harold sounds ancient. It's because it's his grandpa and his dad's name. It's like a carry-down name. But he doesn't go by Harry. He goes by Harold. He goes by Harold. Okay. It's cool. Super nice guy. Huge gamer. Loves everything frog pants. We had a wonderful time hanging out with this dude he was really nice i hope he makes it out this way again or i end up in nashville at some point because i would love to spend more time with this with this guy but he listens to this show via the twitch vods later so harold if you're watching this how you doing it's nice to see it and it was great last night i'm really glad to hang out with you but anyway

we went from there or no we went to the skeek water whatever was called it just sounds like something you'd you want to stay away from like oh watch out that's some ski water. Yeah, it was really, it was a odd name. I still don't have it right. You're never going to get that off your shoes if you step in it. Yeah, don't step in ski water. But it was packed, just packed to the brim with people.

And they were like, yeah, a 50 minute wait. And I'm like, F this. So we left there. And we went to a place called fish, fish slappers or some kind of fish name. Fish. You really, you are selling the restaurant and retail establishments of Salt Lake I really am. I'm nailing it here.

It wasn't too far, but it was this. It was this fish. Slapfish? Is that it? That might be it. That might be it. I think it might be slapfish. Really?

Okay. Anyway, it's this place that makes like, you know, seafood burritos and like, oh, sure is right there. Slapfish restaurant, best seafood restaurant, American seafood restaurant. That's, you know, their SEO stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's very good. Oh, look at that.

Yeah. Wow, I want one of these. Yeah, the shrimp burrito is amazing. That's what we had. Kim had the, um, dude, lobster must be like $400 million an ounce right now. Yeah. Because her, her lobster roll was expensive. Holy crap.

It was so expensive. But anyway, uh, we went there and we ate, stayed way too late. They closed. Lady looked at us kind of side-eyed the whole time while we sat and talked for too long. It was great. You always loved doing that. And then we went home and, uh, uh, oh, Slackwater. That's not much better than Skeakwater.

It's slack water Slackwater, pub and pizza thing. It's supposed to be really good. We'll go there again and really actually try it, but 50 minutes was too long. Anyway. So what did you, you didn't need at both places? No, no, no, no. We just, we left the one that had the weight. We were just like, that's going to

talk too long. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So let me wind up. Yeah, I'm looking at, slapfish. Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, California. Let's just stop before we get to Colorado, I guess. Yep, sorry, Colorado. You're out. You don't. You got to wait. You got to wait. This happens quite a bit for us if it's coming eastward or if it's coming westward and they stop at Utah and then you end up getting it.

But anything that starts west and moves your direction, you guys get it late. It's weird. Yeah, but there's Virginia, South Carolina. There's even one in freaking London. Oh, yeah, that might be. So they just don't like you, I guess, is what it is. Maryland, Indiana, Georgia, Florida, and then all the western states stopping at Colorado. Thanks a lot.

Yeah, they don't like you guys. You guys are, they're like, man, those Colorado people, they are dicks. We will not go there. My God, I am looking at these photos, though. The lobster roll looks amazing. I can't tell. This one looks like a biscuit with like deep fried something on top of it, smothered with something. Yeah, that all sounds right.

That all sounds legit. It was awesome. They just closed to a really. Oh, it's deep fried shrimp on a biscuit smothered with buffalo and ranch sauce, it looks like. Yeah, that's exactly, that sounds exactly like something that'd be on that menu. And it was very good. So if you ever get a chance, I'm just saying, it's pretty good stuff. Priced right, except for that damn lobster roll, my gosh.

Just happened to be in one of their states last week and completely missed this. Oh, what are you going to do? But anyway, it was great. I just want Harold to know he's a stud, and it was great hanging out with him. And not a stud and it kind of like, you know, you have a cow that, or a male steer that makes all the cows pregnant. I don't mean like that. But he's a different kind of stud. Different kind of stud, and I don't know.

Sometimes you meet people where it's like, oh, they were so cool, and then you kind of move on. This is the kind of guy, I could hang out with this dude. He's got, like, we have huge shared taste in the kind of games we like and just, like, all sorts of stuff. It was just, it was really great talking to him. So Harold, Wendy are back. He's still here until Saturday, I guess, doing SWAT things. And he's way cooler than me. He's telling me all these cop stories and, like, stuff he's seen.

And it's like, gnarly, man. And also he says that the show cops is 100% fake and terrible, and no one should watch it. Well, we kind of knew that, right? I feel like we knew that. One guy here in Colorado, an officer, I want to say he was even a sergeant or something, decided he was doing his own cops and Twitch live streamed his patrol. Like, hooked up a Twitch live stream in his car while he drove. drove around.

Oh, that's cool. And actually, like, got somebody, well, he got in big trouble for doing that. Oh, he got in trouble. Well, that's not cool. Yeah. It's not cool. Yeah. When I meant by cool, was not cool.

Yeah. I mean, I think it would be cool, right? Because it'd be like, people felt like, well, this is going to encourage people to misbehave in front of him so that they could be on his Twitch streams. Like, okay. Has it worked for Claire with us. Why would it work for someone with them? No, not exactly.

I wonder if that's, um, there's probably, like, when you do an episode of cops, they that's one of the things that you don't realize and the thing one of the things that makes it super fake not fake but partially fake is that everybody in those scenes they've got to sign a waiver to have themselves on camera so what happened is even you can tell the ones that don't because they're blurry and yeah and even the ones like people they chase down like chase through four neighborhoods and breathe really hard and finally pin the guy down got the camera in his face if they're showing his face he agreed to this right the guy on the twitch thing he can't guarantee any of that he just has to drive around and you know it's great right so you're you know chasing a guy he's hopping over wooden fences you finally pin him to the ground and say oh you are under a west we're booking your butt by the way do you mind signing this waiver so you can be all cops oh yeah yeah yeah you know that's how it went i always wondered if they offered money or something like here's 20 bucks or you know i don't know maybe maybe that would get people to do it but he says yeah it sounds like a lot of that stuff is just driving around

and nothing happening. And when things do happen, it's usually like aftermath kind of stuff. It's rarely like a hot situation where you got to chase a dude. Like those are the rare things. It's not fake like, like, Pondstar is fake, right?

Where it's like, oh, hey, could you redo that crime or do that thing again that you just said to me, but let me, let's get it on camera. Maybe say it a little bit differently. Yeah. So maybe worse because he said that a lot of times what would happen is the cops were encouraged to encourage the perpetrators to do something

or to instigate something, you know, to, like, get him fired up. So the meth guy, like, you know, I kept saying rub his wiener on the windshield, but I think I saw that once on cops. But just, like, freak out and get half naked and throw things and get arrested and pin to the floor. Like, a lot of that stuff they would, like, instigate, but you don't see the instigation part. Right. I'll see you that sucks. It does suck.

It pisses me off. Made me mad. But anyway, it's good to have the record set straight by Officer Burke. Officer Burke. Yeah, it's a good, that's a good officer name too. It is. It's a totally great name. It's also great. Just the name Harold Burke is a great, like, author name. The New Book by Harold Burke. Topping the charts, New York bestseller, best time, New York Times bestsellers, what I meant to say. Author Harry Burke. Sorry, Harold Burke. Yeah. Not such a great name if you're, you know, in a spaceship heading towards a planet because there might be some alien activity that's affecting some colonists. But that's really the only bad Burke. I agree. That's a bad burke. Nobody likes bad burke. We only like good burke. All right. Hey, a couple of quick emails. Quipple, I said. Yeah. Quaple. How about a quipple? How about a quipple? Here's a

quipple. It's a brand new wordal competitor called Quuple. Go play it today. John wrote in, this is for you mainly. He says, Brian mentioned you need more music requests. He says, more funk. No particular need or reason. I just liked that last funk song, and I recall the show, or that I recall from the show and would like to hear more, John. So how do you feel about more funk? How do you feel about that? I'm all in favor of that. I think, what was it, Monday or was it last week? It was this week.

For International Women's Day, I played that funk cover of Say You'll Be There by the Spice Girls. Oh, yeah. So, yeah. Listen, I like the funk. I bring to funk. Yeah, I think you bring to funk. But the main point, John, is if you have a specific request, you can make this happen by going to the website. Go to frogpants.com.

Click the request of song link. There you go. And now you got whatever funk you want. Exactly. Pick the funk you want to hear. Yeah. Yeah, there's, I think we still need a few more requests to round out March. So feel free to make a request.

Anniversary, birthday. Even just like, hey, you know, I love this song. Let's hear it on the show. And if I can play it, I will. Yeah, get in there, you rat bastards. All right, here's another email. This is from Eugene and Phoenix. Not Phoenix in Eugene, which could happen.

Somebody could be named Phoenix and Eugene, Oregon. But this isn't them. This is Eugene in Phoenix, Arizona. He says, hi, Scott. I was listening to TMS 2254, and you mentioned getting sunburned in Mexico, even though you never left the shade. The reason for this is because the sand in Mexico is very white and very reflective.

So, Scott. Yeah, no kidding. We are the worst together. The ultraviolet rays bounce off the beach and onto your skin, causing the sunburn, the water there is also very reflective. Same thing happens to me. I'm 41% British. 30% Scottish and 20% Swedish.

So about as wide as you can get. I sat on a beach for two weeks in the shade. The whole time I got burned almost to the point of being uncomfortable while I live in Phoenix. Or why I live in Phoenix, I know not. Love the show. I've been listening since Creamy Paine, whenever that was, take care of Eugene. Wow. I want to know what the other 9%?

You said you're 41% British, 30% Scottish and 20% Swedish. Oh, good catch, Brian. Yeah, good catch on the math. I didn't realize, I didn't even think about it. Crystaline entity? or like Stoufers Lean Cuisine cuisine? What is the other 9% of you? I need to know, peanut butter, yeah.

I don't know. I don't know what is the water. The rest of us is water? I don't know. Yeah, that's it. That's what's going on. Anyway, thank you, Eugene, in Phoenix. We hope you're not too.

Well, right now you're very comfortable because it's nice in Phoenix right now. Yeah, right now is it's the livable time in Phoenix, Arizona. Enjoy it for the next week. because then it goes to hell. Yeah, better hope you keep getting water from all those other states. I always tease them for that, but they kind of have some of their own water. They get it from what's this town where they got skiing and stuff?

Not Snowflake, Arizona, the other one. That's where all the liberals live. Can't take the heat down here. Flagstaff? Is it Flagstaff? Is it Flagstaff? That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm thinking. What is the temperature? What's the high going to be today? I'm going to guess before he says. I'm going to guess. Yeah, we got time to guess. Eighty-one is the high.

Oh, I'll take the under on that. But I like that. I like that number right there. All right. So he's looking. We're finding out. We're finding out. Yes, the West isn't a terrible drought. You don't have to tell us the TAS. We are fully aware. 72. Okay. 72. Well, there you go. Brian is correct. Very, very nice. Very comfortable. Oh, I could stay in that. I could never leave that. That sounds great. It's better than the seven-year. you're having right now, Brian. I would go ride my bicycle if it was 72 today.

Yeah. When do you think you'll get to start to ride? Because it could change any time, right? It could change any time. As a matter of fact, right now they're looking at the weekend is going to be in the 50s, and then it'll go into the 60s for the earlier part of next week, which means I get on the bike and I ride my little hard out. That's right.

Get that chode ready for the butter, you know? Yeah, exactly. Listen, 150, 150 miles. This will be the first, if I do the full. both days, it'll be the first time I've gotten to do the full both days, because they pulled us off the course one year because of weather. I got sick the second day

and couldn't do day two. Oh, right. I forgot about that. And then last year was one day, and I can't remember the, and then it got canceled one year, so this is going to be my, this is my year to do both days

150 total miles. The big comeback. 22. Yeah, the comeback. This is your people really need to donate just go to uh tiny dot cc slash cover uh bike coverville 22 there you go bike coverville 22 bike bike coverville 22 keep in mind that one is uh that is case sensitive no no uppercase in that right oh yeah it's all lowercase well whether it's case sensor or not just do all lowercase and play it safe yeah play it safe here it is i'm bringing it up for people to see oh you're already doing very nicely on here i'm doing very well yeah and that's without i meant to do

some artwork. I want to do a piece of art that I can put on Twitter and Facebook. It's almost like this photo that you see behind my picture of the banner. That is exactly what Colorado, like what the biking in Colorado looks like. It's like that beautiful

mountain range right behind us. We are at the base of the foothills. It's so good. Is that me on the other side? Is that where that goes? If I was to shoot, is the crow flies, would you land on me if I went straight to those mountains? Yeah, exactly, yeah. Yeah, because to the east of us is flat city flat city um but this also kind of is a good representation of

everybody up there and then the dude behind is probably me ah all right that's not really you in that image is it it's not really me in that image no but uh i would love that so much if you were that guy right there no but they were using like there was some photos that they were using i don't know where they are if they're on their side anymore but there were there were some photos they were using that did have me in my Captain America wing socks. Oh, nice. Nice. But then Marvel. I actually, I downloaded some Captain America, those wings that he had on his old style helmet. Yeah. And I've got a blue helmet that I'm going to wear and I'm going to like figure out a way to

mount those wings on the side of my helmet. Wait, do you print them or do? You know if I was really good, I would do the Thor wings on the helmet. Oh, that'd be cool. Yeah, that would be cool. Are they, so are they, you got to print those wings or they are they are to print those wings yeah all right well you got the you got a way to do it you may as well do it that's what i say it god do it uh all right well done very cool um i probably just had you pimp the thing we would pimp them in the news but uh that's okay it's all right we can do it again i didn't even think about it uh i have not amy normally is here to talk about books but i have not been able to get a hold of her all yesterday or today i think she's she may be out

of pocket um she's all right hope everything's okay. I do too. I mean, she's still on vacation, I think, and could be... Oh, okay. Yeah, I didn't know that because I was, I was gone last week, so I didn't know. Oh, right. You were gone. She did it from the car then, and I think the plan was we were going to try to do it again from the car, but she may be in a place where she just straight up doesn't have connection, so... Or she's just tired of us. It could be that. It could be that. So I guess what I'm saying is, Amy, if you're hearing this, uh, ping me, I haven't been able to bring you up on anything else and let me know if it's different. Otherwise, we're going to go ahead and do the news.

It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by Soundography. Going up later today is a brand new episode. Listen, if you like that playlist that I was describing, the Britpop playlist, one of the bands that's on there is a UK band called the Manic Street Preachers. These guys are awesome, and they suffered some really weird stuff in their career,

a disappearance, a flat-out disappearance of one of their members. Whoa, I've never heard that. That's crazy. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. They think he jumped off a bridge. Oh, never found a body or anything? Never found a body or anything.

Weird. Yeah. So, but find out the whole story, the whole freaking weird story by listening to the episode I'm posting today of soundography all about the manic street preachers. Very, very nice. Yeah. First story, man got a harpoon stuck in his ween-ween because he allegedly didn't make his wife dinner. That's a good reason.

This is one of those times that I did not look ahead at the headlines. And then I'm so glad I did because that whole thing I'm like, oh, a harpoon stuck in his wing. Like is he, is that a sexual thing? And then, oh, it didn't make his wife dinner. Yeah, that makes sense. It's revenge for his horrible act of not making dinner. I may have swapped out whatever they had there before. with ween-win because it made me laugh but anyway a man in thailand that may have been obvious a man in

tailand uh is feeling some pain after getting shot in his manhood because he allegedly went out for drinks with his friends instead of making dinner for his wife oh there is the it's not that he didn't make dinner yeah it's that he went out for drinks with his friends yeah his pals his his boys you know that's what happens according to the daily star chanita kudrum i'm going to say sure Sure. Shot Buccini Moostin. Oh, let's go Boon Chooey. Boon Chooey Musetan.

Okay, yours is better. I like Boon Chooey. Boon Chooey. Boon Chooey. That's like a buffed chewy. He has a boon. Anyway, with a harpoon after waking or sorry, waiting up for him to come home. So he did go out.

And then when he finally got home, she slunk. He got him right in the hooter with his, with her gun. Musetan told the star that his wife twisted the spear when it was impaled on his penis there Yeah, twisted the spear That's no good Was allegedly so drunk he didn't go to the hospital Till the next day

His penis needed 17 stitches According to the Daily Star Wow Normally you say you needed 17 stitches But when it's somewhere like this You have to like specify your penis needed 17 stitches Well, say stitch up my little friend. 17's a lot, though.

Boon Chui has decided to stay away from home until his wife cools down. At least. I think you might see it as a sign that things aren't going to work out. Yeah, where is this, do we know what would say? We don't have a location on this one, do we? No, let's see. The names make me think it's somewhere. India, maybe, or...

Yeah, exactly. That's what I was thinking, too. Daily Star, hold on. And the Chinita name. I don't know who know. Oh, here it is. Thailand. People are in Thailand, yeah.

Oh, yeah. I was at the top. A man in Thailand. I wasn't thinking. Your move, Lorena Bobbitt. Yeah. Yeah, Boonchu. He's got 17 stitches to your one stitch or whatever you end up doing.

I don't know. I don't know which is worse. The Lorainababit just cut it off kind of thing, or the shoot it with a harpoon. to where it needs 17 stitches and then twist it. Yeah, no kidding. Oh, we didn't say it, man in Thailand. It was right there in the first.

Yeah, it was in the top thing. I was going to say if I think I would probably prefer the second because he's drunk. At least he's got some sense of, you know, he's got some anesthetic going on, whereas Bobbitt just had it hacked off, you know, fully sober. I thought he was in a car. Do I have that wrong? No, she took it in the car and then threw it into a field. Oh, that's what it was.

The penis went for a drive, went for a ride. I thought they were in a car and she hacked it off in the car, but I've clearly I've conflated her disposal of the wiener as opposed to the dismembering of the wiener. Yeah, she was mad. Why, I mean, that seems like a lot of work. I'd probably just flush that thing or something, you know? Like, why throw it in a field? You just create an evidence.

Why not? You flush it. At least it's, you know. I don't think that she was trying to say he'll never figure out who did this. No, I wouldn't have gotten away with it. We're for that damn field. That's true. That's true.

I think it was a matter of what's the furthest, like, I want him to, if he wants this back, he's going to have to work for it. Yeah. Kind of thing. Yeah, no kidding. Got to go out and find it in a field. Hope it hasn't, like, degraded enough to not be usable.

Coyoteas ran off with it or something. Yeah, because they did get it to work, right? That was the whole thing with him. Is he got it put back on or sewn... He got it put back on. He enjoyed a illustrative porn career, if I remember correctly. Illustrious. Illustrious.

Yeah, if not a little brief, I don't think it lasted very long. Yeah, I think he wants the gimmick of Frank and Weaney, you know, kind of ran its course. Yeah, the Wiener Wains eventually. The Wiener. Exactly. I didn't want to get typecast as the guy with the stitches in his bean. Yeah. It's not a, I've never seen this thing, but I assume it's a horror show.

I have no idea with that thing. His porn thing is like, I don't want to. I don't know which one would look worse. Stitch, Lilo and Stitch, or this one here with the harpoon, like the wild and crazy penis. Yeah, guy with a boon and his chewy or whatever he's got going there. Picture the stick. Steve Martin thing with an arrow through it. Oh, that's perfect. That's perfect.

Yeah. Well, anyway, good luck to them. Boon Chui, we hope you, uh, I don't know, you find some solace in your life. Yeah. Uh, a lost iPhone. This is interesting. Okay. Was found clogging a toilet.

Excuse me. One decade later. Uh, yeah. Strange banging from the bathroom pipes let a Maryland resident to find her lost 2012 iPhone clogging her toilet. Uh, toilets and iPhones have gone together for right from the start. with all users getting that's that sinking feeling as their phone goes underwater. Yeah, but most people don't flush the damn thing.

It doesn't go all the way in. It's a look down and say, oh, that's a loss. Yeah. Nobody does that. Anyway, according to the U.S. edition of the Sun newspaper, Maryland resident Becky Beckham, that's great. Yay, great. That's awesome.

Or Becky Beckman. Beckman, rather, not Beckham. Becky McMahon. She bends it like Beckman. Did not know or did not notice what had happened to her on the night of Halloween, 2012, rather, Beckman's phone just seemed to go missing. It was mysterious, but it was gone. Ultimately, she had no choice and had to replace it, move on, whatever.

Ten years later, her and her husband began hearing a banging exam when they would flush the toilet. Initially, we blamed it on the toilet being old and said, or said the house construction being bad or something like that. Beckman's husband took a plunger to the toilet and out came an iPhone. It's not reported what model of phone is, but the images appear to show an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4. So it probably still has bad reception is the idea. Yeah, probably, yeah. I don't know, I don't think there's enough rice. You can't put that thing in enough rice to make it ever work again.

There's not enough rice in the world for me to ever try to make it work. Oh, yeah, I'm sure you would never put that thing up to your face. Yeah, look at it all split and splitting apart. Although the antenna bar thing that that thing was famous for is nice and old and steady there. That looks fine. Gross. Yeah, we had a similar thing happen with a flip phone in our house. My niece dropped one in there back.

This is forever ago. It was probably 2003 or four. And jacked that toilet up forever. It never worked right again. And we never could get the phone out. So we had two choices. One, just sort of deal with it or two, we had to take the entire toilet assembly out. And we opted for just deal with it.

Because what are you going to do? Some Nokia, they're bouncing around. but with bubbles every time that'd be great anyway uh die the the thing is don't drop your phone all right that's the idea yeah um all right moving on oh that reminds me um uh what was it was it was gonna tell you something about a phone i did i did find a let me grab something okay you grab the thing while i'm remembering my phones i had a phone thing to tell you it was a great story what was it it was about a phone and i was going to tell you the thing about the phone.

Oh, I know what it is. All right, when Brian comes back, I will tell you what I learned. And he's back, everybody. Brian's back. You know how you've got these drawers that you've hardly ever clean out. You just kind of shove stuff in there. Yeah. So, we were cleaning one out the other day and found.

Oh, look at that. This little Nokia job right here. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Very nice. Very nice. You can pay snake on there, a little bit of snake. I think this might be the previous model.

I don't know why, like, we have two that are so similar. All right. Nice T-Mobile there. And, yeah, they're premise. But then, let's go. Let's go way back here. We've got the Motorola flip right here. Oh, yeah, baby.

I have one of those. That'll plug up a pipe. Yeah, that'll keep your poo from going down right there. Oh, that's satisfying, yeah. It is. That's why I want Apple to hurry up and come up with a foldable phone. so you can do that slap. A little snap thing, yeah.

I figure they'll do that when they stop being breakable with too many bends. Because right now they have a bend limit. So, like, if you buy that Samsung one, they tell you, it's like, well, you get 800 bends out of it. You're like, I don't like having a number. No, that's, yeah, that seems way too short, 800 bends. Yeah, even though it's probably not, but it seems like too many. The thing I was going to tell you, I just remember what it was. Somebody took an iPhone, a working 3GS iPhone, which would have been, what, circa 08, 07, something, no, 08, 09, something like that.

Anyway, 3GS, whenever those came out. Whenever it came out. He took that and his brand new 12, not the pro, but just the regular 12 or 13, whatever we're at right now, took these exact same place, exact same lighting situation, and just one after the other took a shot of this bridge outside where these people are walking around. Yeah. We thought that those old phones had nice cameras. We were wrong. They're terrible. The comparison is ridiculous.

Like, I wish I'd save this and she could show it to you. The cameras we have on all of our phones these days, Android and iPhones, are astoundingly good. Oh, they're amazing. Yeah, they're incredible. But I've never looked to try and compare it to something I took. I don't think I've really taken, you know, taken a look like from. it was really bad like strikingly bad

I couldn't believe it when I saw it and I should have saved it and I didn't and now I feel bad but I would like to have seen it. Yeah it was it was good if I see it again I'll pass it on to you yeah please do all right well good luck to them let's move on to this one you'll like this because it's in your wheelhouse a man sentenced to three

years in federal prison over a Pokemon card so be careful Brian better be a good one though well let's find out you can tell me more than I would know a Georgia man has been sentenced to 36 months in prison that's three years. They tell us in this article as if none of us could figure that out on our own. After using COVID-19 relief money to purchase a rare Charzard

Pokemon card, the Justice Department announced the sentencing in a news release on Monday. The man, 31-year-old, Vintath, Udazmin, Zine, Udus seen, Udum's scene. I did you, the last name, right, I think there's, you put an extra T in there, Vannath. Oh, Vennath, Vennath. Who does mean? That's a pretty cool name. It is, yeah. But he's very criminal.

Was awarded the Economic Jury Disaster Loan or an EIDL during the COVID stuff for $85 grand. Wow. He claimed that this was for his own small business that supported 10 employees. Oh, we gotcha. Okay. These loans were created as part of Congress's pandemic relief plan intended to be used for businesses to pay workers and rent. This ain't somebody just using their $1,200 stimulus check to, to buy a squirrel.

This is like $85,000. Oh, it's a huge amount of money. So when he got the money, they say he used $57,789 of it to buy the Charzard card. That's how much those are worth. This is those first edition holographic ones.

Yeah. This is the one that Nicole thought she had for a hot second when she was going through her old cards. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think this is the card. It has a 9.5 gem mint rating,

so, you know, as new as you get. Yep. Minted and plastic, probably. Yeah. U.S. District Court Judge Dudley H. Bowen also ordered out Odomson to pay $10,000 on top of the $85 grand in restitution and three years in prison. He will have three years of supervised release after the three years. He has also agreed to turn the Charzard card over to prosecutors. No!

Now the government has it. What are you going to do now, buddy? Oh, well, that punishment is super effective. What do you think the government then does with the Charzard card? They've got it now. It's state's evidence, right? Whatever. It'll be just kept in a box in one of those, like, those big warehouses with, like, a date stamped on the side.

You don't think they auction it? You think they auction it for? Probably recoup some of the money. Yeah, government money. I don't know. I don't know. I always wonder about that kind of stuff. But I wonder if it's taken out of circulation, and now those are even more rare because one of them

isn't sellable, you know, or they're going to hold on to it or something. Yeah, and those auctions, you know, people, it's not one of those, like, widely known things, so, right? So those police auctions, you can get some steals because of, um, how, yeah, I bought, I got a bike that was worth, I don't know, almost two grand, and I got it for like 200 bucks at a police auction. Police auction, yeah, I'm like, you guys are dumb, you're selling this bike for way too cheap.

They didn't know. They were just selling stuff. So yeah, local, Brian's right. If you can find one, go to a local police auction and the, and the, you guys, spring or summer they usually do them outdoors and they're amazing amazing stuff yeah that's so good only don't buy any flip phones no no no no no no no they've been you don't know where they've been you don't know where those things have been smuggled yeah or buy a bucket of rice at the same time you're going to do that uh perell someone said nick cage in the chat do you see that

nick cage trailer for his weird thing no i haven't that uh unbearable lightness of being nicholas cage away the full name the actual name yeah the imbearable weight of famous some whatever It's a movie where he plays himself and... But he plays a very flamboyant version of himself, right? I assume so. A flamboyant, but like an exaggerating. Yeah, I assume it's one of those, you know, where you're, we're kind of playing. Like Neil Patrick Harris and the Harold and Kumar movies.

Kelsey Kumar movies are Joey, Tribiani and extras. Yeah. Matt LeBlanc. Yeah, and then he's down there with the Mandalorian. I can't think of his name. Chachi Havarez. What's his name? Who plays the Mandalorian?

I can't think of his name. Anyway, that guy. It's not extras, yeah, episodes. Extras is on with Ricky Jervase. Anyway, the guy that plays Mando and was in Wonder Woman 2. Pedro Pascall, there it is. Pascal, yes. It's not that other name I made up, no?

It's not Chachey. Alvarez? It's not Chachy Havarez. Anyway, he goes down there, and I guess that guy's like a huge drug dealer mafia world terrorist man, but he loves all things Nick Cage, so he has like a whole Nick Cage, like, shrine in his rich South American, like, whatever. They kind of give most of the movie away, it feels like, it looks okay. You should watch the trailer. It looks like it might be fun.

Yeah, it might be all right. I totally will. Chachi Alvarez as the Mandalorian. Yes, DJ Stangle, nice title. Charlie loves Chachi. Groku loves Chachi. I'd watch that. That'd be all right. All right.

We got one final story time, I think, here for this one. Scientists tried to solve the mystery of a 300-year-old mummified mermaid. It's currently being worshipped at a temple. Japanese scientists have started investigating the mysterious mermaid mummy that has long been an object of worship at a temple in the Okiyama prefecture. You've got to see. this thing. I don't think it looks like a mum. I don't think it looks like anything. I think it was like a platypus with a problem or something. There it is. So I was pulling up the Indian in the middle information. Now you're all good. Let's see this thing with,

ooh. I know. I don't like it. I can tell you that. But the photos. Oh, it does look like it has fish legs. Yeah, it looks like a fin down there or something. But it's tiny. I mean, it's obviously some sort of monkey. Yeah. Haven't you always wanted a monkey? It reminded me a Dave there for a second. Letterman would always say, oh, it's kind of a monkey. Isn't that a monkey? That's kind of monkey, Paul.

Looks like a honey-baked ham. Yeah, it's a monkey, Ha, Paul would say. Ah, ha. Japanese, oh, here we go. They are conducting scientific analysis of the mummified remains of the mysterious icon

to determine what it is actually made of. The mermaid mummy, which measures about one foot, has earned its name for having an upper body that appears to be human in a lower body that looks like a fish tail. 300 years old, this thing. It retained its nails, teeth, and hair over the years.

Has also maintained an eerie expression of a screaming child. I'll say. Yeah, this thing will, this thing is now in my nightmares. I don't like it. That first photo is, uh... I don't like it. But I do think it looks like a monkey as well. This actually is the, the Pokemon on the card that that guy bought, by the way.

Very, uh, charred, zard. Yes. A charred zard. It's a very chard-zard. It says, let's see, Kozin, coida, the chief priest of the Injuun temple in the city of

Akkukichi took out the artifact from a wooden box where it has been stored inside the school's veterinary hospital for examination. Well, if they put it in the veterinary hospital. A wooden box was stored inside the school's veterinary hospital for an examination.

I mean, to quote, Indiana Jones. It belongs in a museum. Yeah. You're going to a museum, dad. We have worshipped it, hoping it would help alleviate the coronavirus pandemic. If even only slightly, he says, they got bad news for it. That's not going to help at all.

I think praying to a monkey fish, it ain't going to do shit. Just get that out there. Sorry. It says, let's see, I hope the research project can leave scientific records for future generations. The mummy has been put on display for public viewing about 40 years ago,

but it was recently stored in a fire proof say, so it won't deteriorate. A note inside the box claims the mysterious creature was caught in a fishing net off the coast of Tosa province between 1736 and 1741. The mummy was passed on to other owners after the turn of the century or after the turn of that century all the way up to 1912 and ended up being acquired by the Injun Temple at some point. So, yeah, that thing's been around. I don't know what it is.

My guess is. Why is it just been around for such a long time? I don't know. It's weird. Oh, you know what? I feel we got some time. should we uh i don't know should we analyze the fish monkey sure let's do that yeah now let's don't put water on it what if it turns into like a magwai or some kind of horrible grooming creature yeah

don't get it wet uh yeah it is bizarre like the top half being monkey like in the bottom half looking like a fish it clearly looks like it yeah maybe it's a mur monkey not a mur monkey a mur monkey yeah i think that's possible that's why it just amazes me that they're just now getting around to. Well, I finished my work. I think I might look at the monkey. Yeah, let's take a look at that monkey that we've had for 300 years. Get it out of the wooden box.

Yeah. It's time. Hey, Brian, speaking of time. It's time for a break. We're going to play a song and come back. Randy will be here. We've moved recommendals one day. And we're going to be doing that today.

So stick around before that. Musical selection by Brian. What do you have? Oh, this is good. So a brand new album coming out March 24. fifth called Tides. It's the debut EP for a singer named Ashley Miles.

from her, from her upcoming debut EP Tides. Here's Ashley Miles and Fire.

Hey, Brian, what was that song again? Yeah, that song was Ashley Miles and the brand new single fire, which is going to be on her debut EP coming out in just a couple weeks, March 25th. Very nice. Yeah. I'm going to be in Dallas when that thing comes out. Oh, that's, yeah, that's soon. Bees, be ding, bing, bing, bing.

Oh, no. Oh, crap. Hold on. I hit a button on Discord I wasn't supposed to. Hold on. You ever hit, hey, chat, you ever, hang on one sec, one sec, it's not you, it's me, one second. Okay, here it comes. All right, we're back, Brian and I are going to do the rest of the show with hand signals.

Okay, oh, there, I'm back, are you there? I know it was you, like you're, you're, uh, zoom gesturing. Oh, it was me. Well, yeah, I know. Yeah, you knew it was me. Uh, they, yeah, I hit the update button by accident. That was the wrong. Oh, yeah, I know it's so tempting, right?

The little, ooh, there's a new version. I better get that. Yeah, I saw that and thought, oh, yeah, that's a thing. thing I'd always want to do. And then I guess I'm now on the latest version of Discord. So, fantastic. Well, I'm not. And, yeah, no need.

You sound better than me all of a sudden. Wow. You know, Discord's never sounded better. What the heck? Yeah. All right. Randy's coming in. Let's make this happen, for real.

I'm excited to talk about stuff today, not just for my recommendals, but because I've completed an achievement with today's recommendations. Oh, an achievement. Well, let's find out now what that is. That's right, everybody. pull up a chair and relax because we're about to do recommendals, things we see on streaming services and talk about with each other and make recommendations.

Randy, welcome back to the show. Good morning, morning, stream. I am really excited this morning. Overwatch just dropped a huge set of announcements like seconds ago. Oh, really? Trying to read it all and understand it. But, you know, I'm not on that team. So I don't need to be your representative here.

Just like some stuff. There's some stuff there. Yeah, I'm looking right now. I haven't, have, do we get a new Mac client. Oh, damn it. You'd love that. Wait, wait a minute. Where's the, did they give a release date?

That didn't happen, did it? No. Okay. Not yet. Okay. Yeah. There are some sort of dates in here. But anyway, not my, not my Bailey.

Not your, yeah, not your per view. But thanks for holding your breath for a whole day, by the way. We appreciate it. Good to have you back. I'm so good to have oxygen again. I have some notes. I've been making it all along. A slapfish.

Slapfish started here in Huntington Beach. It was a food truck. When we first moved here to Orange County, yeah, they, do you remember the heyday of food trucks? Like, about 2010, 2011. Like, they got a, they got a reality show on TV that ended up going for seasons and seasons. Slapfish was one of the huge winners of the great food truck peak of that time. And, yeah, and like, they were just, like, they were just selling fried fish. You know, that's up.

They were selling fried fish out of a truck. Sure. And the guy who owned and operated the thing had huge ambitions. And so, like, as soon as he could, he converted into a standalone restaurant there in Huntington Beach. And then he just started expanding and expanding. And I don't understand how they did it. Like, Brian, last week, we had lunch near the airport. We were a mile in either direction from two different slapfish.

Yeah, like, it's a thing. Like, they've been just expanding. I wouldn't have been able to walk there as easily as we did from the air. pour it over to El Torito. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But it's just a, I don't particularly like it. I'm glad Scott enjoyed it. I, I don't think slapfish is all that great.

It's, it's just, you know, it's fried fish and, and similar things. And I still, their photos are, their photos are fired. They have good photo, photo pitcher units. I have to admit, even though I kicked the soft drink habit, I do not drink soft drinks now, going on a year. I still, I think I always will judge. restaurants buy their soft drink offerings. That's just what I do. I would go to slapfish today and only drink water, but judge them harshly because they don't have good soft drinks, my opinion.

Nice. Nice. Yeah, like we, and again, we ate at El Dorito. They're a Pepsi joint. I don't like that. I think that makes you bad. But I'll go there. I'm happy to make you bad. All right. I see. By the way, searching for the term overwatch to find out what the news is in Twitter is a dangerous prospect. You might get exactly what you're looking for, or you might get a whole bunch of 3D porn you didn't expect. So I'm just saying, yeah, because you always do. Overwatch is one of the most pornified things in the history of ever. Are there STL files you can send me? I'll 3D print something for you. Yeah, let's 3D print the porn that is rampant. By the way, so I see the news is there's a PVP beta set for

April for Overwatch 2. Very exciting. Very exciting. Let Scott Johnson, according to the news, the video game analyst, the tech analyst. I don't remember what they called you. Oh, yeah, what CBS called you, video game analyst. Yeah, what they call? I think they called me a video game analyst, which is weird. We'll let Scott the analyst to do the analysis. I got two more notes, though.

It's pronounced analist. Analystist, yeah. I have a suggestion. If you want to see how the phone cameras have progressed, just look at your old pictures. It's shocking. I have been, like, categorizing and, like, cataloging. all of my pictures, which is a huge thing because, like, starting in about 2007, you know, I started taking lots of pictures for that.

Yeah, yeah. Well, it's very interesting, though, because, like, the resolution gets better. The size of the pictures gets bigger, you know, as you go. It's really interesting. Yeah. You can do that little thing. It's, we all thought they were awesome then, and they were. I mean, they were better than anything had that had come before it.

But, man, lest you think they were still good. Yeah, I'm so sad that, like, I have all these. trips to Hawaii. And as you go back in time, my pictures of this beautiful landscape get really bad. But at the time you thought they were good. Like, you know, you got to appreciate it. It's like looking at movies and saying, oh, well, that old thing doesn't look as good as the new thing. But you got to appreciate it for what it was at the time. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. And I would say the breaking point is about 2014. About 2014, I still have some pictures from an iPhone that I'm like, oh yeah you could print that it would look good framed you know but then too far past before that

not good not so good uh well all right then let's get to these uh oh you have one more note i have to ask you a question based on earlier talk i have to ask this question yeah if if you had to go get stitches put in your penis yeah wouldn't you ask the doctor to overestimate the number of stitches oh no because did you tell the the news that i needed uh 75 Five stitches instead of, yeah. I got five stitches, but I'm asking, would you just say 20? Just say 20. I feel like if I told them to say that, they would say that.

And then now I'm on the hook for whatever, let's say I meet some lady friend, you know. Oh, my God. And she's like, I need to confirm what I heard on the news. I need to know that there were 20. And you're like, there's only 15. I'm sorry. There are only 15 stitches. Now it's a scar.

The stitches are gone. That's true. You could fake. It's a scar. All right. Yeah. You can keep the lie alive is what you're saying. That's what you're saying.

All right, fantastic. All right, let's get to Recomitals. We're going to start by playing Brian's clips here. He's got two of them this week. We're going to start with the first one. And Brian, is there any sort of set up for this clip? I'm going to tell you that this is a movie and you probably will be able to get it fairly early on

just based on some of what you hear in this. All right, here we go. We got to go. Stop. What do you think? What do you think? I think the director should be the one to judge. Terrible.

Hidde. I agree with you. I feel like we both did better during the auditions. Hmm. Do you know why? Um, because I've learned a little bit of the dialogue, so I use my partner. or like my acting cues.

But if I don't learn the dialogue, I can't act. Okay. And I thought that this way I could pay more attention to other people's emotions. If I learned the dialogue perfectly, including theirs, I can react better. I see. Why don't we read the book again?

Oh my. Okay, no idea here. Read the book again. That is, because of the Japanese. That's about the only English you'll find in the three-hour film Drive My Car, which is a Japanese foreign film that is one of our ten nominations for Best Picture this year. And this is the story of a guy who is an actor who is hired to be the director of a production of Uncle Vanya in Hiroshima that's multiple languages. Like basically every actor is performing in a different language, Korean, Japanese, one person's even doing sign language. And behind the play is a big screen.

So if you're attending and you see this play, they're putting on Uncle Vanya. If you come and see it, they actually have a screen that's got translations of what every character is saying. And it's kind of cool looking. So he's hired to do this. But he's kind of getting over a big traumatic moment in his life. And he's assigned a chauffeur. He prefers to drive himself, but he's assigned a chauffeur to drive his car and drive him around. And an interesting relationship develops between the two.

It's Morgan Freeman. That's right. Yeah, driving Mr. Daisy. So this, yeah, I just want to get to the most important thing. And that's the sob 900. Oh, my God. Oh, it is a beautiful car. It's such a cutie.

I owned that exact car. that color back back in the early aughts so this is set this is set back in time someplace somewhere this is a this is set in 2021 oh interesting because at one point you even do see people walking around in a grocery store with masks on you can kind of tell which parts were filmed pre-pandemic and which parts were filmed post-pandemic oh interesting yeah because a lot of Asia they do this anyway around flu season they're all wearing masks most of the time anyway so maybe I wonder if that's the thing but the reason I ask is they don't make that car anymore right no no it's a classic like it's a vintage vintage car and what's great about it in 1987 sob 900 turbo

is that the wheel is on the wrong side for japan so like you see other cars in the in the film and the wheel is on the the right side but in this car it's on the left side like an american car oh weird loved that car so much i actually had multiple versions of that car i had a 99 special edition called a Viggin, a Saab of Vigin. Vigin? Oh, it was so great. It's a weird word. I actually took my kid a few months ago. I drove him over to the local

sob like repair shop because they have all of these old sobs for sale just sitting in their parking lot, right? Yeah, yeah. And it just drove around. I'm like, oh, look at that one. That one's from the mid-90s and oh, love those cars. A little surprised nobody picked up the sob, you know, like General Motors or somebody

going, you know what, don't like like Chrysler did with Volvo or whatever. Just buy the sobs, you know? I think they're back. I thought they returned in like 2016. I don't. I thought they were done. I thought so, too.

I don't think I've seen a sob on the road in a long time. Oh, you see them. Man, people who have sobs, like they go to great lengths to keep them running. Oh, well, let me rephrase that. I haven't seen a new sob on the road on the road. Oh, sure, sure. Yeah, yeah. It says here they did.

closed forever in 2016. Oh, okay. So they're gone. That's too bad. I know people who are die-hard sob fans and would drive them forever if they could. But anyway, but that's not really the point of the show. Oh, let's on forever in this film. Tell me on this movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, obviously, the whole thing is in Japanese. You get subtitles. The story is amazing. This actor turned director has a wife who comes up with screenplay. She actually is a screenplay, a screenwriter. and she comes up with screenplays during sex and relays them to him during sex

and then doesn't remember them afterwards. And so he actually has to relay those stories back to her, which is a really bizarre relationship that they have. But it's his involvement in this play, this performance of Uncle Vanya that in Hiroshima that is really touching with his his interactions between all of the actors who are in it's particularly one actor named Koji and and he's kind of this pretty boy who's been in some some other stuff and their relationship with what they know about each other is with what they know about each other and don't say is very, very interesting. Hmm. Okay. And you would give, I don't want to give, I don't want to give anything away. But this, this is, um, among the 10 nominees, I would probably say this is my fourth or fifth favorite of the nominees this year. You've seen all 10 now? Is this that? Did you mention that? I have seen all 10 now. Nice. Look at you 10 for 10.

So once we're, once we're done, I kind of want to talk about my, my, my, the order I'd suggest if somebody wants to see the best ones, um, and we can all talk about that. because I think we've seen a lot of the best ones. We should do that on FilmSack. I've got a pretty good idea of my order as well. I'm actually not going to be able to watch the Oscars this year. It's going to be the first time in like 25 years. I haven't watched the Oscars. You just won't be able to watch them live.

You'll be able to watch them. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be out in the middle of nowhere that day. Who's hosting? I forgot. Who's doing it? Tiffany.

No, not Tiffany Haddish. Oh, you sent me the list. and I It's three people this year It's Wanda Sykes Regina Hall and Amy Schumer Oh that's right Yeah

Amy Schumer Interesting No one People don't like her Sometimes Yeah You know what People just can't let a woman

Be funny I guess I don't know According to Hollywood Reporter she's making a comeback She's the cover She's got the cover this week Of a Hollywood reporter So she's

Telling you Her movie train wreck With John Sina Oh my God It is really good Yeah Such an underwriter I like her style

of comedy kind of a little bit self deprecating uh no a lot self deprecating let's let's be honest she was a very interesting guest on comedians and cars getting coffee i thought oh yeah oh yeah that's one of my one of my favorite little interactions she was really good on there like like the ones i dislike the most are the ones where jerry seinfeld is exactly like the person he's talking to like they like they have all the you know like they they just have all this common ground like it's not they're just not funny well unless you count the day the brian reagan ones are some of the greatest things ever made in the history of ever. That's why they keep going to come back.

Those are the best. Yeah. And they're a lot. I'm just saying like when he has too much chemistry with somebody, they're just kind of like chilling in a car. Yeah. When he's like a little bit pricked by the other person, it's funny. I think the worst one might have been that, uh, that YouTube, uh, where's too much

lipstick. Oh, I hated that one. I hated it. Yeah. Oh, that's the worst of all of them. It's bad. I don't like it when he has just regular actors on. They need to be comedians.

It bugs me when it's just like. Yeah, but I still like that better than this YouTube. Yeah, it's bad. Oh, my gosh, I hated that so much. All right, moving on to number two. So I job my car streaming on HBO Max, and it is a very, it's beautiful and the story is very, very touching. It's not, you know, this, I can't say too much about the story, but I've kind of given you an overview without giving away a couple very big plot points. yeah an interesting thing about this film is you don't get the opening credits until 40 minutes into the film

when you watch it you'll see why you don't that's like video games do that 40 minutes 40 minutes until you get that's not opening credit that's just a that's just stupid that's either late opening credits or a really long stinger yeah no kidding what no yeah it's all trailer you don't show me an entire movie and then run the credits and then show me another movie you'll you'll see why When you watch the movie, you'll see why that's the case. All right. I really highly recommend it. It's very, very good.

All right, I'm going to play this one. You ready? Here comes. Yep. Who cracked your head open, Ombre? In English. Same guy who nailed your ear, maybe?

Maybe. I don't remember. I realize if any of you helps me out, you might spoil your chance to murder each other over control of this earthly paradise. The Jets control it, and you know it. Oh, yeah, but Ghali Balkin, not according to the New York City Committee for Slum Clearance, which has decided to pull this whole hellmouth down to the bedrock, and you're in the way.

Yeah! Nice reflexes, muchacho. So, any day now all of you are going to be evicted. You'll have to, vamoose, as we say in Spanish. We're not relocating. We have right. Right, huh? Where are they?

Oh, that's got to be the West Side story there. That is, yeah, now available both on Disney Plus and HBO Max, so you have no reason to stay away from it. This is, but you can watch this and say, oh, this is the film that's going to win the Oscars this year, because it probably will win the Oscars this year. It's my second favorite of the 10 nominees, and I really was not expecting to love it as much as I did. But they do some stuff, they do some camera stuff with this and some post-production stuff with this that makes it feel like it's 1957, but still feels so modern and gorgeous and well-acted, well-coreographed. I watched some of the original to kind of remind myself, like, I felt like after watching this, I said, how, How close is this? Because I'd seen the original, but it was a long time ago.

And I was thinking, God, this feels like it's just right on the original as far as every choreograph dance, everything. And no, I was surprised by how different it was, but because they did such a good job with this, this felt like the version I'd seen before. Like it felt like it was so good. It felt like the version of West Side Story. Interesting. Yeah.

And you're absolutely right that it's. this is all about the technical details like yeah this is i i personally don't think this deserves to win best picture um that that that should go to a film that has like you know something new that has been it's been it basically that's the way it's looking yeah but i'm but like i hope it wins all of these you know like i hope it wins cinematography i hope like just it's just shocking when you start watching it like your mouth hangs open like because you you realize oh this is a new film it's a new film but it looks like this and it looks good like that it's not like it's not like they filmed it with a like an old iphone camera and in a lot of cases they have their lights out

in view that's the wildest thing to me i can't remember the last time i saw a film that was lit this technically great and the lights were you could see them yeah you know like i don't you want you don't want to call it natural lighting it's not natural lighting it's uh it's movie lighting but like they've got these bright pink and blue and orange lights like and you can see them i don't know it just like blows my mind yeah i think that spilberg guy might go places i think he's yeah he's got he's got some promise this guy yeah uh ansel elgort plays uh tony the not really the leader of the jets but a prominent figure in the in the jets although every time i think i'm out they pull me back in and then the woman he falls in love with maria i just met a woman oh that's rachel

Ziegler, right? It's Rachel Ziegler, yeah. She's really talented. She is amazingly talented. Yeah, she's great. And she's both in acting and singing. I'm surprised Ansel Elgort could sing as well as he did. He was really good.

Ariana DeBose is excellent. David Alvarez. Rita Moreno, who is in the original. They added a role for her in this one. She plays the Oracle and tells Neo what to do, right? She's the Oracle. Oh, oh, I see you're seeing this one, yeah, uh-huh. She's this movie's Oracle, so you get it?

She kind of is, actually. She is this movie's, um, uh, this movie's chorus, basically. Sure. Um, as a matter of fact, they give her, mostly they give her the song, there's a place for us, which Ansel and Aria, or, uh, Rachel sing that as well. you're Tony and Maria sing that as well but very very prominently

it's sung by Rita Moreno that's cool very interesting yeah she's been she's about in her 80s or something she's been around forever yeah yeah she's an egot

I guess uh by the way I speak this guy is like on top of the world Ansel Elkirk I want Scott to guess how old he is uh let's see so when I saw him he was uh he was your

he was your Han Solo right right so he would have been probably in his 20s there I'm going to say Ansela Elgord is 28. Well, no, he wasn't Hans Solo. He should have been. He was the guy that we wanted to be right.

He's the guy that should have been. He was our baby driver. Yeah, he was driving those babies. Yeah, I'm going to say he's 28. Am I close? You nailed it. Did I? He's turning 28 in four days.

Okay, there you go. Scott's very good at that. I am good at dates for some reason. Time is my camp. And I still recommend baby driver. I think we're far enough. I mean, we're never. going to forget what

Spacey did. It came out right before the revelation. It did. It came out right before that. And had it not, it would have, this would have been, a baby driver would have been a much bigger film than than it ended up being. But it is really good. If you get a chance to see Baby Driver, I recommend that. But I

recommend this more. See Westside Story, be blown away by just how beautiful and well shot, well acted, well choreographed, all of that is. And And how hook laden the music still is after all this time. Yeah, you can't go wrong with great music that everybody knows. You can bore people.

A friend of mine said she watched it with her mother, and her mother was just like, I'm not impressed. This is not, there's nothing new here. And so I get that. And that's kind of why I said I don't really want to see it when Best Picture. Yeah. But, man. Hollywood loves to love to.

to pat itself on the back, and they love a musical, so. Yeah, and they love Spielberg, so, yeah. They love Spielberg. I think there's, you know, this has about 70% chance of winning the Oscar. I think Power of the Dog, I enjoyed more. I mean, if you, if we want to really quickly go down the, like, the top five,

if you want to go see what I recommend as the top five movies to watch before the Oscars, it's this, it's Power of the Dog, it's Nightmare Alley, Coda, and Lickrish Pizza. But I mean, okay, sure, you're kind of around it all there. I would make sure you see Belfast

because that's the only other... Oh, did I not say Belfast? I thought it said Belfast third, did I know? It's the only other movie that has a chance to beat Power of the Dog for Best Picture. Yeah. But Nightmare Alley is the example of this category is too big.

They should flip, you know, flex this category. and not like include movies that have absolutely zero chance to possibly win. Yeah. But isn't that always true? You're always going to have, it's a relative thing. So if you have 10 possible winners, you're going to have two or three. You're like, well, they're not going to win.

If you have five possible winners, you're going to have two that aren't going to win. Yeah, yeah, no matter. I feel like that's just the way it is. Lickrish Pizza won't get Best Picture, but I think it's one of the best films in the stack. and best Belfast Absolutely should be in there Okay, so Power of the Dog Belfast, well-sad story

Nightmare Alley, Coda and Lickrish Pizza. Those are the six. What are the ones that are Who's left? So King Richard Way overrated. Don't look up, which was good, but doesn't belong in the best picture. Yeah, but you're going to have a bunch of people watching the

Oscars hoping don't look up wins the best picture. You know, because it's just such a fun movie. It's so populist, you know? Yeah. And it doesn't have a chance, you know? There's no way that movie should win. The movie's all right. I enjoyed it, but I ain't this shouldn't win. Yeah, drive my car good, but not in the top.

I guess I put it lower than top five. I put it seven or eight. But I like it more than I like Don't Look Up and King Richard. King Richard is probably what I put at the end. Dune should be higher in that list too. Damn straight it should. I figure everybody's, everybody listening to us has seen Dune. Yeah, I'm voting for Dune.

And Dune is usually that lower part of the list that I'm saying, you can kind of throw away, it also doesn't have nominations in the other associated categories. And that's the big, big deal, right? The Oscars wants to give Jane Campion an Oscar this year. And they're going to, they're going to give it to her for Best Director. And so then you, you know, you know what I mean? Like look at the rest of the Best Director Dom's and you don't see Dune. You know, you don't see Don't look up.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, cool. These are both, look at you, Oscar, man. Even though movies are weird now and some come out in theater, some don't. And all that, Brian's still been able to manage to go. all 10 in before the deadline. So it's very nice. It kind of has helped because the only ones we saw in theaters were Belfast and Lickrish Pizza, I think. Let's see. Yeah, those are the only two saw in the theaters. Coda is worth, listen, if you don't have an Apple TV Plus account,

get the free seven-day trial or whatever they offer and watch Coda. It is so good. And it's a bummer that it's only available in that one little small segmented platform of a place to watch. Oh, interesting. Okay. By the way, I was just looking at the top. This is fun. These 10 of these? Yeah. The top 10 movies. I'll see if you guys, you don't have to guess, but the top 10 movies are the most nominations in all categories. The years they were nominated for Best Picture and then all the other categories. These are the ones with the most total nominations. The number one movie, well, it's actually tied. So there's two of these. Titanic,

1997 had 14 nominations all about eve 1950 14 nominations South Little Lambs is up there too isn't it I think so It goes gone with the wind from here to eternity Shakespeare in love Forrest Gump Had 13 There's a lot of ties for 13 Chicago Mary Poppins who's afraid of Virginia

Wolf the Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring Curious case of Benjamin Button English patient Ben Hur Waterfront Oh wow dances the wolves Now I'm at and then maybe not Schindler's List Maybe not

Gladiator A whole bunch of old shit Lincoln Yeah not in there I also thought Fury Road had more I think it only had eight No I think

My favorite My favorite little bit of trivia And amongst all of that Is the name of the actor Who got the most nominations In different categories So the most What one person

managed to get a nomination You know As an actor or director for best picture and best director and best original screenplay and best adapted screenplay and best actor and so forth like who is that person

can you guess anybody oh geez I'm gonna go with distinct categories for nomination and by the way he only won one I just told you it's a he he only won one of those eight different categories

Clint Eastwood or Kevin Costner or Woody Allen some interesting guesses yeah because you know you got to also be doing writing to get those right exactly yeah yeah some good guesses um the answer is kenneth brana oh really oh really that's cool well that's and that's even more official now because this whole uh the the belfast business yeah going real well for him uh all right excellent i'm going to now share with you a uh recommendal that is very different from anything brian talked about okay okay um it's a little older now but i'm really glad I finally caught up with it, proof that Scott will eventually watch things his friends recommend. And here's the clip. After we get married, we'll take a cruise to Barbados or maybe a resort that's all-inclusive. They say they're all-inclusive, but that's bullshit. They charge it for the towels.

Soap. Jim. Top-shelf liquor. Jim. Right. Right. All right. Guesses?

Did I hear Kaylee Cuoco? You did. Oh, really? Wow. Okay. So what you heard there was the 2019 series. And I guess the new season is coming still of HBO Max's Harley Quinn. Fricing all-star cast.

The casting is crazy. Yeah, look at this. You got Kaylee Cuoco is Harley Quinn. Lake Bell is Poison Ivy. Andy Tudick is Clayface, the Joker, half a dozen other characters. Tudik is Tudai Carrey said. Amazing in this. His Clayface is wondrous.

It's so good. I cannot say enough about Clayface. No one cares about Clayface in the D.C. universe. It's boring. He's just a guy that's made out of clay and turn into other things. They took Clayface in a place I didn't expect. He got Ron Funches as King's Shark. He's great. Tony Hale is Dr. Psycho. Amazing turn for Tony Hale. Christopher Maloney, you heard in that clip playing Commissioner Gordon.

He's an amazing. Commissioner Gordon's falling apart in this series. It's really great. Jason Alexander, aka George Costanza, plays this character named Cy Borgman. Amazing. Borgman. Yep. Dietrich Bader plays Batman and he's perfect for it. He also plays serious Batman and other animated DC things.

So it's not, he's not even new to the Batman role. But he's perfect for this because he's, you know, that guy was raised on comedy roles and he's very comedic in this. J.B. Smooth plays Frank the Plant, which is one of Poison Ivy's minions. Jim

Rash. It goes on. Everybody's in this. Way too many people to even Two seasons? How many seasons have we gotten? There are two so far. I want to say this third is on its way, I think. But yeah, right now there are two seasons total. It's first glance of it, you go, oh, it looks like, you know, it looks like a DC animated series. Yeah. Yeah. This is really dirty and sweary and bloody. Like it's rated R. And everybody's cussing up a storm in ways. that you kind of catch off guard because you're like, whoa, easy there, you know, Captain Cole or whoever with the potty voice. It is, it's really raunchy,

but has more heart than this should have. It's funny, it's weird how much heart it has because it's all about Harley Quinn trying to bust into the, basically the core story of the first season anyway, is her trying to break into the Legion of Doom and become part of the Legion of Doom.

And Jean-Carlo Esposito, plays Lex Luthor wonderfully he's perfect in it he's perfect in it too fantastic yeah he should kind of suck at that because you'd hear his voice and go all that just sounds like what's his name yeah the king gus fring Gus fring but he's so he's perfect as as this like aloof sort of Lex Luther there's a dude in there that plays Bain and the way they decided to play Bain is wonderful because he plays Bain as it's James Abdomen or Addomian. Addomian. I can't say his name.

James Abdomen. James Addomian. He plays Bain the way that Bain was stereotyped in the third Nolan movie. So it's very, hey, listen, oh, city. And he decides to do him like that. And he is freaking hilarious. Steels the show every time Bain says anything. Yeah, he likes to impersonate people, especially politicians.

He shows up on late night show and he's impersonating, you know, Bernie Sanders. or whatever. Yeah, he's a good impressionist guy. He actually parleyed that into a role, like in Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay. He's George W. Bush. You get to see him. And he's a good Bush. He does a really good job in that. I like him and that. That's about the only thing I liked.

That wasn't a very good movie. But anyway, the point is it is very, very good. All-Star cast. They're all putting in great work. Executive produced by Kaylee Cuoco as well, so she's got some hand in that. But you're already fans of all these people, especially Andy Tudic

and some of these other guys. You've got to see this show. It's so good. I can't believe it took me so long to watch it. It's right up my alley. It is hilarious. It is not for the kids. Okay?

At all. Like language in this thing is pretty rough. Oh, Brian, do you know the character, the comic character? Oh, shoot. It's like an ancient Greek god. Hold on. I'm going to find this.

Ancient Greek god. Ancient Greek god. Hold on. Ancient Greek god. It's not Caesar. It, ah. Okay. D.C. DC character.

Zuse. Something Zeus. That is it. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, Maxi Zeus. Maxi Zeus. There's this character called Maxi Zeus is like came out in the 70s or something. It's old DC character. He's played in this thing by Will Sassow. Will Sassau?

He is so freaking funny. It is so funny. Maxillian Zeus. I have never heard of this. character. It's the dumbest character. Like, it's so dumb. But the way they play it here is so great. And they do, they dig up just the dumbest characters. Kite Man's in this. And he's super, like him and

him and, um, uh, Poison and have a thing going. And like Bell's hilarious. Peacemaker brought up Matter Eaterlad, which is my favorite stupid DC character. Yeah. And there's so many. But Al, I keep saying Andy Tudick. Alan Tudick and his take on the Joker. Did I say Andy as well? Yeah, we, I do it every time I say it. So, who knows. But he is, he is, he's perfectly cast as the Joker.

He sounds like Mark Hamill do and the Joker, which is what people always want. So he just does that. Yeah. But his clay face, he plays like a Thespian, like actor guy who's like, yes, when I take over his body, I will become the greatest. He does this thing that is so drop dead hilarious. I am telling you, I'm not used to these kind of cartoons making me laugh out loud. This show made me laugh out loud. Awesome.

Yeah. So go check it out. It's on my list. I'm going to slide it up to the. maybe I'll start watching it after I finish season, after I finish season two of MASH. There you go. Yeah, after you get them with MASH. And it's a quick watch too because, you know, it's not a huge season. The episodes are like

30 minutes. It's really easy to get through. So highly recommend it. All right. Randy, I'm going to play this clip. Any set up here? No, this is a movie. And we've got a woman who is a professor of like archaeological history or something. And she is running late. And she's getting back to her class. where her boyfriend, another professor of not archaeology,

has been trying to lead the class, and he is winging it. All right, here we go. In this broad earth of ours, amid the measureless grossness and the slag, enclosed and safe within its central heart, nestles the seed perfection. The poet's hope and optimism in humanity echoes our recent universal victory, the return of our far-far population and. Thank God there she is. Now, a brilliant museum scientist, Miss Searcy,

the person who will be and was always supposed to be giving you your presentation today. Thank you, Mr. Whitman. Sorry, I'm late, everyone. Today we'll be learning about the importance of apex predators in a balanced ecosystem. Poetry. I completely run out of things to say,

and these kids make me nervous. I thought you were a very charming, Professor. See you tonight. Ooh, see you tonight. All right, set me down. So, who can tell me what an apex predator is? Animals that hunt their prayer for food. Very good.

Apex predators do hunt their prey for food, like all predators. But one thing that sets them apart is that there are no other animals in their habitat strong enough to hunt them. Who can give me an example? Lions. Wolves. Correct? earthquake

I have no it's great everyone get down under the tables I have no idea wow you don't okay what the Circe mentioned

and John Snow in there oh I don't know is that who all those people were I had no idea oh so this is Eternals duh this is Eternals that's right

and if you don't like being hit over the head with your symbolism like they are literally telling you the you know sort of like cosmological symbology by having the you know the character asking people about you know apex predators

and then an earthquake comes along you're supposed to you're supposed to gather that oh there you know like this universe has layers of such things that was Gemma Chan as Searcy and she of course is involved with Kit Harrington who is not an eternal he is just a normal

random guy that she is involved with and he is perfect perfect perfect for this role as the human the average human observer of what's going on here because you really need that in a movie that's about time and space and very very powerful superheroes he almost immediately after this meets richard madden who was his brother on game of thrones and it is so awesome to see the kings of the north reunited back together again yeah and they were always they always liked each other in Game of Thrones right they weren't like well I guess the snows the snows were not the snows

the the why can't they give me his name right now the Starks the Starks always had a decent Thanksgiving you know they were all they all they all got along and yeah it's it is the reason I'm recommending it is because this thing kind of came and went and I don't feel like enough people were moved to the go see it um it is a it is a fine marvel film it is uh you know like up there

like marvel now has 25 movies and you know it's it says a lot if you if you say like this is in the top 15 uh it's uh you know it's just very well crafted um it it fits into an odd place right because it is after the return uh you know you heard uh the character dain whitman mentioned the return um it is uh you know it doesn't really is intersect with much more. There's some way down at the end of the movie. There is some intersection with other movies and things that are going on. But it is really its own story.

And so it has to be a complete story. And it's a bit long, right? And I think a lot of people heard, oh, there isn't a lot of connective tissue here, right? With the other Marvel movies, I don't really, I don't really, they heard this, and I think it's wrong. You're, you know, you're going to absolutely see more Eternals in the future. And it's got a ton of comic relief, especially from Kumail Nanjani as Kingo and from Madong Sok as Gilgamesh. I mean, it is just a fun movie.

You know, and like it's hard to imagine when you see Angelina Jolly, right? She's just not fun. But I'm telling you, there are other things. She's jolly. It's right there in the way you pronounce her name. I know. There's a lot of fun to be had in this movie. It's a very big adventure.

and again, like all Marvel movies for a very long time, fantastic cinematography, fantastic score. I loved the score for this movie. Yeah, there was so much, it got backlash because, oh, it's another Marvel movie, and I think Marvel's running its chorus and blah, blah, blah. And I disagree that it's in the top 15, but I put it in the top 20 of the 25 Marvel movies. It's better than Thor Dark World. It's better than Iron Man 3.

You know, there's a few that I can say I enjoyed it. it more than um and it's and still kind of the worst the worst marvel movie is still better to me than than a lot of other movies so i yeah i really enjoyed this and i think people it should give it a chance because maybe it's been long enough since the backlash that's like all right give it a chance and watch it and and uh put all that stuff out of your mind that people were saying about it does the does the does uh benedict wong show up in any sort of stinger business or anything? No, he should go. It feels like if there's anybody who could

from the MCU make an appearance in this. Because he's in everything else right now. All the other ones, he just shows up. He's the Cliff Clavin of these things now for like, you know, what's his name? He's the John Ratsenberger for as he is for Pixar. That's what Benedict Wong is for these MCU

movies. And if he's not in this, well then no sale. Forget it. I'm not watching it. No, I'll see it. I still haven't seen it. I don't even remember what the Stinger was on this movie, but it doesn't it doesn't matter it doesn't it like we get two of them and uh one of them had to do with the character you were talking about is it important i don't remember it for some reason are they important uh important stingers like felt like they were like oh uh well setting up sending up new

character appearances new emceu character appearances and one of them is a is an actor that you never would think you'd see in an mc u film really okay yes all right i'm excited to see um Vern Troier, the deceased body of Vern Troier. I was trying to think who I would have the least picture. Who else you did not expect? Yeah, I don't know why I thought of him, but all right. It's, you know, it's Salma Hayek.

She's always good. The movie asks a lot of Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden specifically because they just have a lot of, they have a lot of character development, you know, and you wouldn't think over a 10,000 year time frame you could have a lot of character

development but they do uh this movie takes place when there was characters are all kind of changing their minds about something that they've been uh doing for a very very long time and uh it's just um i i've found it really entertaining and also um this is not a very blatant movie this is a movie that you can rewatch and pick up all kinds of other things right so like the the scene that i played for you uh first time i watched it i was busy you know looking at the characters and figuring out what they're doing and what their motivations are. Second time is when I got all of that meaning underneath what they were saying.

I do need to watch it a second time. I only saw it in theaters and haven't watched the streaming version yet. And it is right there on Disney Plus for you. Disney Plus, I guess the most successful streaming service right now. It's outrageous.

Like when you saw the Obi-1-Kanovi trailer yesterday, I'm like, where are they getting the money for this? But no, the answer is. I know where they're getting it. They're doing fine. They're doing really well of business. Yeah, I think they're doing just great. They're about to add an ad tier, which I don't know how I feel about that, but probably won't.

It won't affect me. I've pre-purchased the first three years of Disney Plus, so I think I've still got a year and a half of that. Yeah, we'll see how that goes. Well, there you go. Those are our movies and TV shows today. If you are like, man, I don't remember any of that. No problem. All you got to do is check out, Brian, remind me the link.

What's the URL? QuickTMS.L. There you go. Or Randy puts them all over the place, including his Twitter account at Randy DeLux. He also puts them in our Discord and our Facebook group, all these places. So follow it, find out, and check it. Randy, anything else you'd like to say? We're doing Filmsack this weekend. I know that. What do we do? Yeah, we're doing film sack. We're going to watch in the line of fire. Yeah. Oh, I love that movie. Movie that I think I liked 25 years ago. I don't know. I loved it. I haven't watched it tonight, because going to a game tomorrow night. Oh, yeah. You'll have to ping us and just, I mean, not that it will, you know, color how I feel about it. But I for sure have had these moments on film sack where it's like, when I saw that 25 years ago, I love that movie. It was amazing.

Same here. And then we'll see it again and go, ooh. But then we've had the opposite where we didn't think we liked the thing and then like it a lot more now. So I don't know what to expect, but I like that movie. John Malkovich's bad guy sticks in my head. He lives here. He lives rent free in my brain. Yeah.

Yeah, but what if it's bad? Like, what if you watch this and John Malkovich is like a terrible... See, that's why I don't want to post in our chat because I don't want to color your... Like, whether or not I enjoy it or don't, I don't want to color your impressions of it. You know, I like when Scott surprises me with what he thinks of a film. Yeah, yeah, you'll be surprised what I think of a movie. I haven't watched yet since 1997 or whatever it was. Anyway, that'll be this weekend.

Check it out. Randy, a.k.a. Randy DeLux. We'll see you next time. Okay. And just go one thing. Bye. All right. I put in his, um, I gave him too many Ds, I think. I think I went Randy D. Randy D. Randy Deluxe. No, I went like, Randy Dux. Yes. Yes. I think he did a Randy D. The great Randy D. Randidi. Make his bat disappear. Now performing for your pleasure. The great Randy D. Well, there you go. That's, uh, there goes Randy off another distance. I have one more email to read from Bree.

Let's hear it. Let's see what Brie has to say. It's like the cheese except just B-R-E-E. Good morning, Scott and Brian. The weekend while... Yeah, there you go. The weekend while gaming with my fiancé Mike, he said, I'm hungry, and only a hot dog

will fix it. Do we have hot dogs? And I said, yes, but you're asking the wrong question. We don't have buns. He paused for a second. Grab the package of tortillas that we had sitting on the counter, held them up and said, dogorito, let's do it. Or do doggarito. I made a super simple version with small tortillas, cheese weaners, and shredded cheese to cement it all together like a docketo. More like a dog quito. Yeah, like a tequito

daquito. With a cup of ketchup for dipping, he looked up and said, I would like to request that this is the only way that I am fed from now on, unquote. Thanks for the quick and easy recipe, inspiration. When Kim finally makes that cookbook, there should for sure be a Scott unsupervised section. Thanks for all the last brief. That's funny. You bring that up. Kim and I were talking about this the other day doing a cookbook, but basing it around the whole community in some way. So we'd have everybody submitting, Brian would submit his favorite recipes that he makes and Randy and his. Yeah, my pizza recipe. Yeah, anything done away makes. And then the gnarly shit I put together once in a while, we would put in this book and sell it. I think that would be really

fun. So thanks for the reminder that that may be a thing we do. And I'm glad the dog Rito served you well in a... It sounds like a commercial. I'm hungry and only a hot dog will fix it. Do we have hot dogs? We do, but no buns. Don't have any buns. Well, that's, that's okay. Introducing the dog Rito. How many times has this happened to you? All that stuff in the early part of being black and white. And then we'd be in full color now. And it'd be perfect. Anyway, Yeah, Claire, you could submit a cocktail or two. Claire's cocktails, whatever. Yes.

We got ideas. Anyway, that's all in the future. The gin switch. The gin switch. That's it for the show. I want to thank everybody for their patronage at patreon.com slash TMS. It is literally the fuel that keeps the engine going here. We don't have it without you.

There will be a coverville today. All the music covered by Mario. No, I'm kidding, even though it's March 10th and it'll be a great day for a Mario cover story.

No, it's also John Kale's birthday. You're saying, John Kale, who's he? Is he a delicious superfood? No, he's not. He is one of the founding members of the Velvet Underground, and so it will be a Velvet Underground cover story today. You'll be surprised by some of the people you hear on this show, including folks like Susanna Hoffs, Simple Mines, Billy Bragg, Sweet, and even a song by freaking Jennifer Jason Lee.

Yes, people of a certain age probably credit her as the first on-screen nudity they ever saw. Jennifer Jason Lee is singing a Velvet Underground song on today. coverville. Nice. Sounds like a good coverville to me. It will be. It will be great. All right.

Wet their whistle with a song already that you're going to play. Let's give you a cover right now. James wrote and said, Good morning, morning, morning this morning, in the news this morning. I added all that. Brian asked for a request for March birthdays

and I'll give you one more. I'll be at a belated one. March 5th was my lovely wife's birthday and only a few days ago. We had a great day and I think she deserves a nice song. Happy birthday, Hallie. You're a wonderful best friend, mother,

And I know I can always call you my hell. Is it too early to get a fish sandwich or a tender crisp baking cheddar ranch? It's never too early to get both of those. So let's give you this one. Hey, too early get a fish sandwich. And this one. It's a tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch. There you go.

Beautifully done. Let's give you a cover of You Can Call Meow that I've never played on the show before. This one is fun and it's more of a like a speeded up. I don't want to call it ska, but it's definitely got a. a faster tone to it. Probably Scott Punk would be the closest thing for me. Hot Club de Paris is the band. They recorded this for their 2007 album Clockwork Toy.

It's a cover of Paul Simons. You can call me Al. The man walks down the street and says, Why am I soft in the middle now? Why am I soft in the middle? of my life is so hard, I need a faux opportunity, and I want a shot redemption. I don't wind up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard.

When you call me You can call me out You can call me out A man walks down the street, it's a street in a strange world, maybe it's the third world, maybe it's his first time around, he doesn't speak the language and he holds no currency, he is a foreign man, he is surrounded by the sound, the sound of cattle in the marketplace, and scald. scatterings and orphanages He looks around around He sees angels in the architecture Spinning in infinity says
