Good morning, everybody, and welcome back to TMS. Brand new week. It's Monday, March 21st, 2021, 21, 2, 21, 22, 2, 21, 22, 21, 22, 22. That's my excuse. I'll just say I was testing. That's all that was. Okay. All right, good. Yes. Part of the business here, podcast. business you got to test the mic and uh that's right yep did a little of that in front of you uh hello i'm scott and that's brian hi brian good morning hi scott happy brand new week yeah man as we as we hurdle ever closer to the end of march and the beginning of april beware the ides of march i was always told that's right about a week ago you would have been be wearing them yeah i was beware i beware them and they never did anything to me so it's fine well that's because you beware them. It's like, uh, once you stop

bewearing them, then the aides of March rear their ugly heads. Those, those dirty, dirty bastards. Dirty, dirty odds. We're glad to be back. We hope you guys had a good weekend, uh, and did fun things. I know

Brian had a fun thing happen in his lift deal. Would you like to regale us? Because Friday you dropped a head and we went, I teased that there was something, some fun stuff that happened during the lift ride. And so, uh, really quick to get people cut up, Lyft had a bounty kind of thing and said, uh, if you get 25 rides done between whatever, the fifth and the 20th, then, uh, we'll throw an extra $300 on top of it.

And I'm, I feel like, all right. Well, you know what? I haven't driven for lift since the beginning of the pandemic. Like I, or since, yeah, like, have not driven for Lyft in a year and a half. Yeah. But, um, I thought, you know, I can knock out 25 rides in like a few mornings just going up to Boulder like go up before uh TMS do an hour and a half of that take some take some trust fund kids to Starbucks sure on their parents dime when they live you know their dorms or their uh frats and sororities are like three blocks away take into the coffee bean and tea leaf sure sure uh so I did that for a couple mornings and knocked out the first 10 rides and so I had 15 left and out teen and I weren't doing anything for St. Patrick

Stey, we're not, you know, don't really go out on nights like that to go drinking. If anything, we might go have Irish food. Sure. Like, I say trigger, should I trigger Claire again with a mention of corned beef and cabbage? Ooh, corned beef. Corned beef. Corned Beth. Yeah. Anyway, going to, you know, thought, well, you know, I'll take advantage of St. Patrick's Day.

And I will work the earlier shift, right? I'll start at three. I'll pick up the students from class, take them back to their apartments and dorms and frats and sororities, and then maybe be there for the beginning part of taking them to the bars. Yeah, you don't want them later. It's a nightmare. I don't want to pick anybody up. I just want to take them there.

Exactly. So it's exactly what I did. I went up to Boulder. And as is the case, about five or six rides in, like it was constant. And it was all short rides. It was like five minutes, six months. minutes, you know, picking somebody up, taking them right away to where they need to go. And rides were close by, like, as soon as I got one ride, two blocks away was another ride,

and I'd take them where they need to go, and it was great. But about five or six rides in, I get a really, really nice guy who is a classically trained upright bass player, and he's played in Carnegie Hall. And the kid is like 24, 25. And so we talked all about Andrew Allen Trio and jazz music and, and, um, and, um, improvisational jazz and all that for the entire ride from Boulder to Denver 45 minutes. Man, that's a lot of time talking about upright bases. Taking me out of Boulder and then taking me into downtown Denver.

I'm thinking, oh, crap, I'm going to be stuck in downtown Denver and it's going to be slow because there are a lot of drivers down there and it's more sprawling, so I'm going to be making longer trips. No, quite the opposite. It was, again, it was like constant. and it was all a little short trips. I got the first 10 done before six and decided, well, I'm downtown, I'll just grab a bite. So I ate this place called Buono Beef, not guano beef.

It would be horrible. Rat poo beef. But Guano, B-U-O-N-O. Or Bat, yeah. It's Italian or Buono. Buono beef. Buono beef. It's an Italian beef place.

And they do these bowls that are, It's like an Italian beef sandwich with the beef and peppers and a little bit of cheese, but in a bowl so you don't have the carbs. You just have the- Sure. You have the guts. You don't have the outsider business. So I had one of those, and I said, all right, let's knock him out, these last five rides. Now, everything prior to that point was me picking up people and taking them to bars.

Pretty much, and a few people didn't even realize it was St. Patrick's Day, by the way. Oh, really? I said, oh, you guys got big plants night? Oh, no, it's a Thursday, you know, just doing the usual. I'm like, oh, okay, have you called ahead to maybe make sure the place you're planning on going has tables? Because it is St. Patrick's Day. Yeah. Oh, wow, okay, that's interesting.

Yeah. So, prior to dinner, like, calm, mellow people. After dinner, people were starting to move from one bar to another. And you, there's like such a great formula. Like, it was almost, four of the five rides were three people, exactly three people each. And in almost every case, all three people jammed into the back of my key of soul. Yeah. In one case, somebody got in the front seat.

Three guys, quiet, they'd been drinking. They're like, oh, yeah, you know, we're having a really good night. We're going to go to this bar and then maybe we're just going to go to a party afterwards and should be fun. Yeah. The more women you introduce to the group. So two guys and one woman, the volume level raises about 30%. Oh, okay. And then two women, one guy, the volume level raises about another 30%.

And then by the time it's all three women, it's just like, oh, my God, it's so loud in here. I can't deal. But we're not making any implication with that. We're just saying it got louder, everybody. That's all. It just got louder. It's all I'm saying, Claire, all caps gack. Yeah.

one of the people one of the groups this is the one of the fun story so one of the groups i picked up two women and a guy and um the woman uh the the the drunkest of the women the women whose name was on the thing her name was erin oddly enough you know at st patrick state yeah erin yeah erin yeah erin go bra uh she uh she gets in oh my god i saw your oingo boingo bumper sticker on the back i love oingo boingo oh my god Do you guys, have you guys ever heard the song Little Girls? It's so perverted. Brian, put that on. Put that on.

You should have, you should have said, I'm taking the dog, dumb ass. Sounds just like her. Like Jennifer Coolidge. So, you know, I get Siri to play Little Girls by Ongo Boingo, and her friends aren't listening. They're chatting about the next place. But she's like, you know, Turn it up, turn up, and she starts singing at the top of her lungs, and the song, you know, the lyrics are like, I love little girls. They make me feel so good.

And keep in mind, this is written by the guy, the same guy who wrote The Simpsons theme and Beetlejuice. Yeah, of course, sure. All this great, you know, kid-friendly music. So that song ends, and then one of the other people's like, oh, how about some, put on some queen. And I'm like, all right, so I tell Siri to put on some queen. And, of course, Bohemian Rhapsody is the first song that comes up. Oh, my God, turn this up. Have you just not heard this song?

You just setting it up for a nightmare time now. I love, I love Queen. I love that song. Yeah, but you don't want a bunch of drunk people going that, doing that middle bit trying to be trying to do their best, not Bill and Garth. Wayne and Garth. Well, indeed, Scott.

That is what happened. And we, they asked me, they paid me, excerpt with tips to not go directly to the bar that they wanted to go to. We had all four windows down, all four of us in the car singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the top of our lungs.

I knew the lyrics. They didn't. They barely remember the movie that Wayne and Garth were in, let alone the lyrics of the song they're singing. They just know the feeling it gave them. I get it. Like basically,

one part, you know, I was listening. I wish I could have recorded. God, I wish I could have. It was like, Mama, put a bullet through, put a bullet through his head. Pull bullet through his head. I mean, I assume they were all drunk already, right?

They were, two of them were tipsy, but drunk girl was super drunk. And then we start, we start pulling into, in front of the bar they're going to. We didn't make it to the, da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-a-a--------------------------------------vig. Well, super drunk girl who likes Oingo-boingo decided this was an opportunity to do her best job at maybe hitting on me, I think, I can't tell, but she looked directly at me and sang the lyrics that I'm going to

substitute F's. Maybe I should. I've already told you this story. Wanna F you want a F you want a F you want a F you want a F. Wow. Yeah, like, looking right at you. Okay, bye-bye. Have fun tonight.

Good night. Yeah, good night. Everybody. Leave them in the dust. You don't want to pick them up later when things wear off, you know. Wait, my phone. I left my phone in there. Anyway.

But all in all, I mean, they were. were the only plastered group and I didn't think they were at the point where any of them were going to throw up. There was none of that like, you know, the noises you just don't want to hear as a lift driver. Yeah, it's like what your dog does. Do you have water? No, get out of my car, Jennifer Coolidge. Get out of here now. Exactly. That's amazing. What a fun time. Yeah, so got my, got my 25 rights. I was done by 8 o'clock p.m. I was home by 8.30. Enjoyed some, some fun TV watching with the misses

and had a nice early night didn't have to take any more drunk people around. Did you regale her with this story? Did you tell her this story? Oh, of course I did. Are you kidding me?

Yeah, I couldn't wait to tell her. I'm like, oh my God, you won't believe this group. Every group still, even them polite, nice, friendly, lots of tips. People tipped heavily on that night. Nice. And it's a lot of fun.

One more really quick thing. I'm going to really quickly give a a mini review of a brand new show that is on Hulu that will not be a recommendal this week because it was the most frustrating thing I think I've watched in a long time. And that is the brand new Ben Affleck, Anadiyarmus, deep waters on Hulu. This is the movie on which those two met and started dating and

kind of got trapped together for the pandemic. It's the, it's by the same. same author. It's based on a book by the same author as Tellin Mr. Ripley, and it's directed by the same director as like unfaithful and basic instinct and, um, uh, uh, like all those kind of 90s, 80s, 90s, erotic thrillers. Sure. Sure, sure. And that's basically what this is. I mean, let's call a spade a spade and Anna de Armas is, uh, naked all over the place in this thing. but even that wasn't enough to make these two tolerable. This was the most intolerable couple in a movie I've ever seen.

It looks like Brian Dunaway has seen it too. Maybe we want to wait and get him in on this one too. I didn't see it. I didn't even know this was a thing. Had no idea this existed. This was supposed to be released in 2019 or 2020 and got pushed back. This is a Disney like owned. joint um and uh so what do they put this under the uh hollywood pitchers moniker or something else i can remember

i can remember what the we certainly didn't get the uh it's not going to do new new new new new but didn't do that with a couple boobs and a penis in the castle you know they like changed the castle for all their different yeah that's the only way you would never see it on disney i can tell you that yeah exactly but uh anyway uh man i mean it's basically i mean it's about a couple the dude loves the woman so much that he kind of sort of tolerates her

being overly flirtatious and cheating on him with other people and openly kissing other guys in front of them and then they fight about it and like why don't you two just split up for Pete's sake? I can't imagine loving anybody enough to put up

with that crap. It sounds like I would not like this movie very much. It sounds like you would not like this movie yes does ben affleck uh you know he's he's any good is he like you know acting they're both acting wise they're both great like like if you if that's a story that sounds like something you'd like to see then then it's well acted and well written but it stars i mean it features two characters that um you'd like to see uh held under under uh water in a swimming pool for half an hour. Then I am not interested. It sounds like I am going to skip

this one, I believe. I would skip this one. I don't know if I'd ever saw Gile. I don't know if the characters are likable in that one, but they have to be a lot more likable than this. Yeah, we keep getting asked to do that one for film sack. I don't know if that ever happens. Oh, we have to. I feel like Crossroads and Gile have to be on our list.

I forgot about Crossroads. Didn't someone boycotted it or didn't one of us veto it? Someone boycotted without seeing it. And I think that's against the rules. I think you have to one of us has to see the movie to be able to boycott it. Because it's just saying, oh, I think this is going to be bad. Yeah. One of you three, then one of you other three get to do that.

It wasn't me. It wasn't you and it wasn't me. So we know it had to be one of two people. Yeah. It was Brian or Randy. Had to be. Because it wasn't us. Well, anyway, well, all right then.

Sounds like a fun-filled, a good weekend for you there. Yeah, it was a lot of fun, actually. It was a enjoyable smart weekend. A veritable blast. Yeah, and the weather, yeah, the weather definitely turned up here. So we're, well, except yesterday. It rained all day and snowed, kind of half snowed all day. And that kind of sucked.

We have the half snow now. Yeah, it was wet and gross. But prior to that, very nice and clear today. So take that world. I would like to register a complaint. If you're going to be a website that lets you sign up on the website. Yeah. You also better let me cancel.

there too and not have to call you okay here here exactly yes that's the complaint for today i don't i will have less i will have less complaints all day because serious xm oh my gosh i hate it i hate it so bad i don't know if that's the one that you're complaining about no no no it's so it's like two different ones i'm dealing with right now if you're going to have a service and you've made it so it's possible to sign up there you have to make it possible to cancel there that's just the deal If you don't do that, you suck. All right? And there's plenty of companies who do it the other way.

So bye-bye, never using you again. Freaking double bird F-off. All right. You want to say who the company was? No, I'm not going to do that. Okay. All right. I don't want to give them too much.

U-Porn. I mean, they may get back. Brasers. Brasers is really hard to cancel. You got to call to cancel browsers. You have to get in a small bus and drive over there with two of your friends. That's the only way they'll do it. No, it's the thing bus.

Yeah. That's different for browsers. Yeah. And I don't know why. I know that. While you're getting Brian on the line, I'm going to throw out a really quick thanks to Anthony Renbarger. So I pre-ordered those Spice Girls blockheads Lego figures,

and they arrived last week. And before I had a chance to open the box, another box arrived, which included, which was the Spice Girls blockheads. And I was able to send back the one I bought from Lego. I opened up the box from Anthony Renbarger. Big thanks to Anthony Renbarger, listening to the show.

And they were already put together. Oh, look at that. So I just threw each one on the ground and then put the pieces back together. And then I could say that I helped assemble these. No, what spice girl is that? Is that Ginger? It's Jerry Halliwell. Uh-huh.

In her Union Jack attire. Gotcha. Union drag attire. Yeah, Union drag attire. Drax. If I sit still, you can't see me. That's awesome. the other five of them up there.

Nicely done. And what a very, very generous thing. I also got a generous thing. A local here named Alan gave me his old Genesis. Actually, two old Sega Genesis model. Genocide. Two Genocide? You committed genocide?

He committed genocide with me. And it's great. I'm so stoked because I'm, you know, building up the old retro pile over around here. And, yeah, it's very cool. Speaking of retro piles, let's get this guy on the line right here. Hey, Dunaway, what are you doing? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian.

I'm not old. I'm retro. Yeah, you're retro. Yes, exactly. There you go. You're vintage. Yeah. That makes you cooler, you know, that you're vintage and retro.

Because you're like, hey, look at me with all the games that are old. I am the man. It's good to have you here. You didn't care for the Affleck's movie? Affleck. You know? He didn't care for it. I like.

How many toxic relationships you've been in? Because this one made me watch going, yeah, I've been in that situation, not this far, but I understand what's going on. I've been, yes, I've been in a similar, and it's probably was PTSD was part of it. Yeah. It's exhausting. The film is exhausting, but it's kind of like the one that I recommended where, it's a Dr. Butler, who is it? Who freaked out on the road rage movie?

Oh, that was the Russell Pro. Russell Crow. Damn, I like that movie. Yeah. That's a hard one to watch, too. It is, but I liked it. Oh, drive angry. You're not driving.

Angry. Is it driving? No, there's no drive in it. No, no, no. Angry or triggered. No, it's sing it's like something like triggered or. Unhinged. There it is.

Unhinged. That's it. It kind of like reminds me of that because I'm almost at the verge of screaming at the screen. And if you can elicit that kind of emotion from me, you've done something right nice Tina and I kept waiting and it's like

basically saying why are these two together why are these two together why are these two still together the entire you know they kind of they kind of reveal that as they go along

why they're still together not in a satisfying way though oh it's not meant to be satisfying you've been in a toxic relationship yeah that's true okay they're not very satisfying you're right but uh but you know they're both very attractive people you know that's just not enough to to make me want to watch uh knives out if i want to see some more

oh yeah yeah i wouldn't i wouldn't go back again probably unless i was watching it with somebody else nope nope nope i wouldn't even do that like like uh you guys could say hey we're watching it for film second i'd say go ahead i can remember enough of it yeah go watch go watch uh blade runner 2049 she's great that. There you go. Yeah. You have Vonid Armas on that one. Yeah, she's awesome. Big old, big old pink neon animated sign lady. She was good in that. All right. Hey, Brian, we're going to play a game you've devised for us. The Morning Half Asces. You're going to have to explain it, though, because I'm sure there's people in the chat who have no idea what the hell this is. Well, they'll have no idea when I'm done explaining how this works. Welcome to the Morning Half Ases, a trivia game where I'm actually

going to be giving you the answers. I'm going to be given Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct and three that are incorrect. Depending on how confident they feel with the category, they can provide one, two, or three guesses, but if they get any wrong, they get zero points for that round. If they guess one, they get a point and get it right. If they guess two and they get them both right, they get three points. And if they guess all three correctly and get them right, they have five points for that. The player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant and contestants will be pulled from members of the tadpool that aren't able to listen live, Scott, you're going

to be playing for Walker Monaghan of New Mexico. Hello, Walker and Brian, you're going to be playing for Aaron Wilson of Aurora, Colorado, another local, Aaron Wilson of Aurora, Colorado. Yeah, Claire says it's still confusing. But listen, Claire, just play, listen, it's like, it's like complicated tabletop game rules. Just play one and it'll come to you. Yeah, yeah.

So it'll be fine. Exactly. It's gambling. Depending on if they get one, two, or three, right, they're going to get one, three, or five points for that. How's that? Yeah, there you go. Is gambling with your confidence? It's like, am I confident?

I'm going for it. Exactly. Prize of this time around, the winner is going to get per Aspera and just die already. Those two games from Steam, courtesy of Wesley. And the third, or the runner-up is going to get before we leave. Oh, yeah. So on Steam. Also, good games. Both games. Very good.

Excellent. Excellent. All right. Let's do it. All right. If you guys are ready, Let's get to the first category I'm going to give you is Boy Scout Merit Badges. Now, what's interesting about this is we actually had this as a Babel Royale way back in the day. So let's see how well you remember that. Your options for Boy Scout Merit badges are canoeing, fingerprinting, beekeeping, landscape architecture, video games, and martial arts.

These all seem really plausible. I feel like Sally Struthers on that commercial where she told you all the jobs you can get if you did training with her company. Can you wing, fingerprinting, beekeeping, landscape architecture. I think I already, I think I know this one. I spent enough time in scouts. I think I'm, I would think you, yeah, you were, you were, uh, I was a scout, assistant scout master for a hot minute.

Oh, you were, yeah. You were, you were assistant scoutmaster or were you, were you assistant to the scout master? I was assistant to the regional scout master. No, I don't know what that was. I don't know what my job there was, except those kids were awesome. and we had a great time that's all right quick question this is current

like is or is it ever like they don't like rotate them in and out do they this is as of I'll tell you yeah I don't think I'm thinking about it too much I'm clicking things

forget it forget it forget it I don't have a year I don't have a year on it I'm sorry yeah they don't rotate them in and out I can tell you that they will add some and they will remove some but they don't rotate them yeah usually it's because oh

I'm locked in The telegraph, the telegraph mirror bad. All right. All right. I'll see why. I just have passed it this morning. You both settled on canoeing. Scott also added fingerprinting and video games.

Oh, oh. Well, I hope there's less of that going on in this case. And then Brian Dunaway, you have beekeeping. I will show you the answers now. Unfortunately, neither beekeeping nor video games is a, The Scout almost didn't go with the beekeeping. You know why I did video games? But for some reason, landscape architecture is.

Yeah, I know why I did video games. It just hit me because we made, we did a whole, we did a whole thing. And when I was in the scout leadership, we did a whole, like, I don't know what you call it, like a whole month of like video game history. Why I think, you know, there was no merit badge involved. It was just like a cool thing we did. And in my head, that made it more official. And I screwed that out.

But anyway, it's fine. We're both zero. We're neutralize each other. All right. Yeah. It's a warm up, but we'll call it a warm up. We'll just say you're warming up, and now we're going to question number two. Question number two, languages with more than 10 million speakers.

There are a lot of languages on this planet, and the six of these, three of these, have more than 10 million speakers. Three of them have less than 10 million speakers. Somali, Norwegian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Hebrew, and Nepali. So we're marking it with more than 10. Okay, more than 10. Yes. Languages with more than 10 million speakers. I just knew it's going to have cling on in there, but I'm glad you didn't. Could have.

Coulda, coulda. Right. Yeah. Oh, my gosh, dude. I know, right? Yeah. I don't know how big that is. All right.

I think I'm locked. Oh, are you? Then I guess I better start to guessing. You better get in there, boy. Yeah, I'm going to, oh, can I uncheck that? Okay, good. Ooh, that was close. There you go.

Yes, I'm guessing those two incorrect answers. No, one is me right. One's going to be wrong. Excellent. You both have done, you both have gone with two. You both said Hungarian. I'll tell you right now, Hungarian is correct. That's the language that I speak a little bit.

Scott, you went with Norwegian. Brian, you went with Somali. We're going to give some points here. Somali is, does have more than 10 million speakers. Norwegian doesn't, surprisingly. Oh, I almost got, I checked and unchecked Nepali. Damn it. I know if you would have kept Nepali, you would have had a three or.

I knew Hebrew was a curveball because that sounds like it should be because we hear it all the time, but it's not, yeah. Okay. All right, I learned my lesson there. Three points. Holy shit. All right. Okay, well, now we get some points on the board.

So you got to go big or go home. Question number three. which of these are among the 20 most common U.S. street names. So, you know, Main Street, probably the number one most popular street name in the U.S. It's not on there. Of course, it's not on this list. Your choices are Broadway, Park, Washington, Martin Luther King, 9th, and Birch. And, of course, these count as like either streets, boulevards, avenues, whatever.

Is there a jail? go straight to jail space here go to jail yes you're good to go directly to jail do not pass i've made a joke for years about one of these being just that i hope i've been right about that so i'm going to choose it okay and you better choose it before you lose it i'm going all out here you kind of have to um all right i'm locked okay i'm going on my dumb too all right you guys both agreed on park yeah i will tell you that park is one of the the top 20 most common U.S. street names. So you are both going to get points for that one.

Your other options, I'm afraid. Oh, no. Martin Luther King is not even in the top 100. Broadway is number 72. Park is number 5. Washington is number 17. I checked nights and unchecked. You did.

I watched you check and unchecked ninth, which is the 18th most popular street name. And Birch is number 58. Oh, man, I've always, everywhere I go, there's Martin Luther King Jr. Yeah. They're always big roads. Yeah. That's the trick.

They're usually a big road. But I think that, but what will happen with Martin Luther King is you'll get it in the big city in every state, but you won't get in every city in the state like you would with a ninth avenue or Washington Street or something like that. Yeah, that's a really good point. Gambling with confidence. I almost lost that. Well, you won, dude. You've freaking won. Yeah.

Yeah. How do you feel about that? Brian. I feel pretty good. I feel pretty good. Some Monday and I beat Scott Johnson. I'm going to, I hate to say this, but I actually think before we leave might be the superior game, but don't worry.

It's not a big deal. The second player won a better game. That's the way it always works. Like the A game goes to the runner up and the B and C game goes to the winner. But anyway, congratulations. Aaron Wilson of Aurora, Colorado. You're getting per aspera and just die already. And Walker, you're going to get before.

before we leave, all courtesy of Steam and Wesley. Yes, Wesley. We also got a whole slew of new games. Oh, we did. Oh, slew. It is a slew. It's absolutely slew. That was from, I'm going to give them credit here. How many, how many comes in a slew?

You and I at 3.30 Mountain Time are going to be doing a play retro show. Now, here's what's funny. We decided we were going to do the Metroidvania kind of thing in sections. So we did Metroid last week. This week we're talking all about Castlevania. And as it turns out. Yeah. Castlevania, despite the fact that they have not made a game since there's no,

there's been no Castlevania game outside a crappy mobile thing since. since 2014. It's been a while. And despite all of that, there are vastly more Castlevania games than their Metroid games. There are so many more last week. I said, oh, we got so many metric.

Now I'm like a fool, because Castlevania is way more. And now I'm, yeah, I'm stuck with my outrage. Check this out. In 1989, from 1989 to 19, what would that have been, 90 years would have been, or 99 years, sorry, 20 years would have been what? uh 2009 so from 90 89 to 2009 they only had six years of that 20 years that didn't have a castlevania game being released right it's crazy we'll be mostly talking about the most important vania for the Metroidvania which is going to be symphony of the night yes that's where i have spent most of my time at even though i did peruse all the rest of the titles except for some of the game boy stuff oh well i will be game boy advanced uh aria of sorrow is the superior game it is very good i love the advance collection on steam i got that

and it has all the has all the advanced games including uh uh x yeah dracula x yeah they're all good but i'm telling you right now that arya of sorrow game best castlevania even though they even though they basically have said now this doesn't count right didn't it i don't know if they did or didn't but the point is if anyone comes at me with their freaking symphony of the night bull crap i'm a fight you because i think well i'm coming with you with the symphony because that's what i got i'm bringing it it's also a very good game don't get me wrong it's incredible it's amazing uh well there you go then this will be a great time so that's tomorrow 330 mountain time play retro uh wherever get you podcast if you'd rather just listen to it and uh we'd

played the the The first one on the NES. I don't know if I played Bloodlines. I probably only played two or three. But there was one on the, yeah, I think it was the Game Boy Advance, or maybe it was. Yeah, was that Bloodlines? No, Bloodlines is Genesis. That was the only Genesis.

Okay, and I didn't play that one then. But, yeah, I miss it. I'm sure that a lot of them, if not all of them, are available on the Switch. Swatch. Oh, yeah, that Advance Collection is on the Switch, and they're excellent games. Really, really good. Yeah, that'd be a weird way to go. Worth your time.

And they're only, I think, $19, pretty cheap for the whole collection. And good stall them because I get the games out to our two players. So, well done. Yeah, well done, everybody. We stalled properly. We promoted properly. And now I say to you, Brian Dunaway, kiss our butts. No, you.

All right. I wanted him to, I'd least let him have a word there, you know. Yes, yes, exactly. I can't leave him high and dry. No, don't do that. It's quick news time. It's time for some news brought to you by. Get your TMS Vegas tickets before it's too late.

Hey, I just like our fans a little bit more. I understand. Look, you do. You definitely do. A lot more than me. The four boobs, by the way, need to be four different humans, not two ladies. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah.

Could be three ladies and one dude. Yeah, three ladies and one dude. And a pizza place. All right, check this out. We've been lied to the world's heaviest potato. turned out to be the one on record turned out to be not a potato at all. Whoops. Yep.

New Zealand couple who applied to have the massive vegetable named Doug recognizes the world's heaviest potato by the Guinness World Book of World Records said the DNA test had a shocking result. The tuber is no potato. Wow. Colin and Donna Craig Brown, who unearthed the 17.4 pound object from their Waikato farm in August of last year, said Guinness World Records requested a sample.

of Doug they named it Doug and they spelled I love that his name is Doug D-U-G is pretty good they dig Doug I'm really rooting

for these guys yeah they got a DNA test as part of their record application which is how it works they heard back from the organization

on Sunday they said the sample tested by science and advice for Scottish agriculture or the S-A the SESA yeah

and the examination revealed Doug was Doug the Spud was actually tuber of a type of gourd, or a tuber or type of gourd. So it's not a true potato. It's just like a big gourd thing.

It's a big gourd. It's still a tuber. Yeah, but not a potato tuber. Exactly. Still grew underground. It looks like a giant poo. That photo. I don't like it. It's freaking me out. Oh, I have to look at the photo. Well, all right. Well, it kind of looks like it does look like poop. It does look like a big poop. I don't like it. It looks like a big poop. Yeah. So, all right, well, that's okay. You know, silver, lining, does that mean that this is the biggest tuber of a gourd? I mean, that's a, yes. I mean, I mean, maybe. And now that's a whole new record, right?

They don't say in the article, maybe they could, I don't know, apply for just a slightly different category. See if you can get that one. Yeah, it's totally fine. It says, Craig Bank speculated that Doug may have been the result of a seeding he purchased that may have been a crossbred between a gourd and a cucumber. boy that thing lost all cucumber jeans look at it there's no way of cucumbers in that thing no gosh no yeah that's no cucumber i'd want to eat yeah that's not the none of that is the right

color for a cucumber nope and you're right chat the doctor would ask you to increase your fiber intake if this is what you were producing okay so just get more water more fiber you'll be fine Brian let's move on to this story yes please Kentucky fried chicken They're offering an exclusive 11-course tasting menu in Australia. Oh, 11-course. Wow, your prefix menu with all your different courses, but this is a freaking KFC. Yeah, you've got to go there.

Here's what it is. So until this week, if you wanted to have an 11-course meal at KFC, you'd have to arrange your own. All right, you'd have to figure it out and do the whole thing yourself. But not so. This is before Australia put together an official. 11-course dejustation menu. What's that mean?

Degastation. I know that, so that's like, you go to a fancy restaurant, they've got what's called the prefix or the pre-fee. I can't remember how you actually pronounce it, because it's, it's spelled pricks-fixie. Pricks-fixie. I think it's pronounced prefix or pre-fee. Okay, so they've got some fancy term. And you've got basically like, all right, choose your appetizer from this list of four. You pay a set amount, 55 bucks or 80 bucks or whatever.

Yeah. You get your first course, choose one of these three, your entree, choose one of these three, or your salad, choose one of these, and then dessert. And there's something, there's, some places call it the degustation menu. And I don't know if that's, how you, how you pronounce that. It's DeGis or Degestation. Chatern's got a list of it. Degestation menu, a tasting menu.

consisting of several bite-sized dishes served to guess as a single meal. They'll be inspired by the French term deustation, which is defined as the careful tasting of various foods with a focus on the senses and culinary art. The question is hard or soft G in that one. Yeah, that's the question. Someone want to let us know, Google that one. Is it hard or soft?

I'm sure Claire is typing up her response right now. It's a hard G, degustation menu. It is a hard G. Okay. Yeah. All right. And the pronunciation is pre-fi. Oh, pre-fi?

The Prixifix is pronounced pre-fee. Pre-fee. Okay. I will buy that. I'd buy that for a dollar. I saw a lot of different pronunciations. Let's see. Guacamar says Pry-Fi or pre-fee.

Yeah, pre-fee. Would you go to a tasting menu thing? I would do this. This is a KFC thing. At KFC? It would be to talk about it on the show. I'd have my own moments. Okay, for the show, I would absolutely do it.

But you know, one of those courses is just going to be curly fries. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you don't want. Here's your, here is your Kohl Slah course. Yeah, I'd never do this, like, wanting to do this. Like, I would only do it. I'd do it and love to talk about it here, but, yeah, forget it in real life.

Yeah, unless... Your powdered mashed potatoes course. Your barely edible biscuit. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. I would do it for that. That's the only reason I would do it.

Kanye West in the news. He's in trouble right now. It's always in trouble. That one. That one? Yeah. He's always, always, well, whatever. You can't, you can't.

Does he still have a, does he still have like an unofficial hit out on Pete Davidson? Well, this is part of that, actually. I'm glad you brought that up. Oh, it is. Okay. Well, there we go. Kanye West has been barred from performing at the Grammys, the upcoming Grammys, due to concerning online behavior, according.

to his rep. Kanye OS has been barred from performing at the Grammys due to his concerning online behavior. I don't know why they repeated the headline twice. A rep for the artist confirmed to Variety Magazine. Reps for the Recording Academy and CBS, which present the Grammys, did not immediately respond to request for comment. Basically, let's see. Let's see.

Skip ahead here because they just repeat the thing like three times. He was going to perform. He's not going to now. This has all been confirmed. Our sources say Kanye's team is not surprised by the decision, nor should they be. Now, now we get to the meat of it. There are many reasons why Kanye West Performance on the Live Network should be prohibitively risky proposition based on his social media posts and activity in the past months alone. He might use the stage to continue his online harassment of Pete Davidson.

He's a strange wife, Kim Kardashian's new boyfriend. He could attempt to lobby public sentiment for custody of his children. He could make some statement in support of accused sex. sex offender Marilyn Manson or Unrepent Homophobe da baby I don't know who that is That's okay though I don't know

Both of whom he has featured on his Recent concerts and listening events He could also make a more Misguided statements about slavery or revive His stumping for former President Trump Conversely he could use the platform To do something that isn't self-serving Self-referential or

sheer trolling Like when he unexpectedly said quote George Bush doesn't care about black people during the televised Hurricane Katrina fundraiser in 2005. Look, if I was the Grammys, I'd be relieved he's not on. I would. Like, he's going to say something a night. That's just, he's not on his meds. He's

admittedly so. He's like, just completely out there. The guy's, he's going to say weird shit. So, you don't want him on there. Everybody remembers him saying, you know, George Bush doesn't care about black people. Do you remember the poor, the poor staff who had to stand next to him during that

Hurricane Katrina special? Oh, yeah. It looked like he could have been blown over by a fart at that moment? Yeah, it wasn't that, uh, uh, hold on. Uh-huh. It's, it's, it's Mike Myers. That's who that is. Exactly who it was, yes.

Like, look you at the camera like, I don't know what I say after this. Yeah. Back to you in the studio, Anthony. That's right. Oh, J.C. Calhoun is also correct. I read this the other day. He's got serious beef with Trevor Noah, who is hosting the Grammys. Oh, really?

Uh, I don't know that Trevor Noah has any beef with him. I just know Kanye has beef with everybody who says anything mean about him or funny about him. Yeah, I mean, because Fallon and Kim will all say mean things about Kanye. So why is it that I like the Oscars, but I have zero interest in watching the Grammys? I can't just say it's because I feel like the Oscars introduces me to good movies, but the Grammys doesn't introduce me to good music. Can I say that? Or is it just the fact that the music I tend to like isn't represented?

I think you can totally say both those things. Because I think that movies, you do get introduced to movies you wouldn't have seen otherwise, right? Yeah. With the Oscars, I think there's real value in that. With the music, you're just seeing. It's like Ariana Grande. Yeah, it's the pop, whatever. And then that's it.

And you're not seeing, you know, crowded houses and having a resurgence and getting a Grammy for it. Exactly. I'm totally with you. They deserve a Grammy for their newest album because it was effing excellent. Yeah. Whatever small interest I have in the Oscars, I have even minor. minuscule, almost unseeable by telescope interest

in the freaking Grammys. I don't have any interest in seeing that. Okay, good, good. Do not feel bad. I think you're right. You know, people may be surprised. They're like, oh, Brian, but there's music and a coverville and not, yeah, but I don't think it's...

I thought you liked all the war child. That's not what they sound like. That's them. If you say that, that's what you sound like. Yeah, that's it. Wow. You know who you are out there. That's you.

That's you, I was impersonating. I don't know. Look, I know there are a lot of people that are like Kanye, and I think he's musically, you know, maybe a genius. I just think he's just an ass, though. Yeah. So if you can be an ass, why would you want him? This isn't some people are screaming, ah, you're going to, you're going to cancel and censor him? No, it's, this is pretty open market shit going on. You either, you don't get to just be on the Grammys because you exist.

So, no, you don't get to go on and go everything up, like any more. than if I said, hey, I'm going to come to your Sunday services there, preacher, and I'm going to get up and go, my left testicle is named Barry. Like, why would I do that? Right, exactly. Why would you ever want me in there? You don't want me in there. You don't want me up on that platform, watching the people who are trained to kill me 20 yards away.

Yes. Avickech, John says, and don't get me a start on the Rock and the Hall of Fame. I think I'm agreeing with you on part of that, because I think you're, complaint probably, I'm assuming your complaint is about who they induct into the Rock and the Hall of Fame, but I will say this. When they get bands up there, the bands that perform the music of the inductees, some of that stuff is brilliant and it's great. Yeah, that's cool. They get them together. They see you get a little cross. Some bands aren't even, like they haven't been together in years and this is the first time they'll show up and be there together.

Some of them just refuse to show up. I want to say, David Gilmore showed up for Pink Floyd's induction, but Roger Waters didn't because of the animosity between the two of them. And Mark Knopfler, I think, didn't show up for the dire straits. Oh, I didn't know that. Did they not get along? I didn't know that. I didn't know. He might have been out of like traveling or something, but they were possibly at odds, the band and him.

That's a bummer. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Yeah. Got too much money for nothing and too many chicks for free. Is that what happened there? That's exactly right. The sultans of swing are not all swinging together.

Such a great band. Why do so many great, like legitimately great bands, break up so hard? Why? Yeah. Just the creativity, they can't handle it. She's like, ah, what are we going to do? Tell me that one, police, with, you know, Sting,

not even, I don't think he's, they're talking, Sting and Andy and. Oh, do you have anything to do with each other? That's a bummer. I didn't know that. They're still jealous of his shirtless turn. His Tentric sex? No, his three-hour tantric sex? I think his Dune shirtless moment.

I think maybe that's what's the most time. Oh, yeah. Well, sure. I mean, who wouldn't be? Who wouldn't be? Who wouldn't be, right? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, our pal, Stephen Schlecker, will be joining us. We can't do that, though, until there's a song.

So could you play that song? This is a requirement. We're going to Brooklyn for this one, a pop punk quartet. So think, you know, along the lines of Lit and Sum 41. and Blink 182. This is a band called Awful D-W-F-U-L, like awful. Like, I feel awful. And D-N, like a noise, D-I-N.

They have a brand-new single called Summer-Fall via We're-Trying Records. Wow. They've announced that they have a brand-new album coming out. Do they have a date? Let's see. I don't see a date for their new album, so only constantly April 20th is when it comes out on 420. So make sure you go pick it up on April 20th. Here is Awful Dinn and the song Summer Fall.

It's already summer, the heat is unreal. Getting used to the way this feels. I'm having swatting and choking down hills. Getting used to the way. way this feels just wondering when a smoke knocks me back on my heels I'm struggling

but I don't want you to know how that feels it's already summer the heat is unreal getting used to the way this feels I'm happy and sweating and choking down heels. Getting used to the way this deals.

Just wondering when the smoke knocks me back on my heels. I'm struggling, but I don't want you to know how that's beyond. We'll see you when I'm better After all, we've seen all we've seen and done tell me can you think of one good reason to hold it together like nothing has changed

good risks I hate in the way things plan out anyway at least we'll always have the thought It may not be much But right now it seems badder than nothing at all We'll pick up the pieces and try our damn best to stand tall So we can finally have the fall Let's get it straight Let's keep it real

My sense is gone I cannot feel And I'm starting to feel like There's no coming back from this time When when I'm gone Will they just nod and say What's this time At least we'll always have the ball

It may not be much But right now it seems better than nothing at all We'll pick up the pieces And try our damn to stand tall So we can finally have the fault Rain is that I feel like trash But I'll stand in the fire

And maybe become something No Don't look back Just stay on track Just running for longer days Push through the haze and fall No At least we'll always have a fall

It may not be much But right now it seems better than nothing at all We'll pick us to pieces and try our damn to stand tall. So we can finally have the fall. This is an actual picture of a Waffle House chocolate pie in a rubber made-type container surrounded by blood! Mom and I, we just fell out of love, Charlie. the morning stream rambling goes in podcast comes out you can't explain that all right we're back everybody please remind me who that was just now

yes please to tell you that was awful din and their brand new single summer fall uh which is coming out with their single is out now their album only constantly comes out About a month from now, April 20th, 2022. Nice. Excellent. I will wait. Hands on needles. Wait, what's the phrase?

Hand and foot. I will wait on pins and needles. Pins and needles. Hand and foot. Hand and foot? Yeah. Foot and hand? No, I don't know.

I'll be waiting on all fours. No, that's not. Oh, no. We don't want that, ever. All right. I will walk 500 miles. Yeah, there you go. That's it.

Yeah, that's the phrase. Stephen, I'd walk 500 more. Stephen Schlecker. Stephen Schlecker. Hey, look who it is. It's Steven Schleiker from Hayes, Kansas, and Major Spoilers.com. Comes on Mondays, talks about pop culture, comics, and more. Always good to have you here, sir. How are you? Oh, I'm good. Thank you, Scott. Hello, Brian. Hello. It's good to see you. Yeah, it is good to see you. It's good to see you. It's good to hear you. It's good to hear you. It's good to have you here. I had a real epiphany with you the other day. I was on the major spoilers podcast and we read these old 1940s through, well, turns out 90s, I didn't know it, but these really old serials from comic strips and it was called, oh, now I forgot

the name, Trip. Rip Kirby. Rip Kirby. So it's basically like this like self, I don't know what he's, what is his actual job? He's Bruce Wayne, but his parents never died. Yeah, he's basically Bruce Wayne without his parents dying. So he doesn't wear any cows or anything, but he's an author, a doctor,

lawyer, something else too. And he's rich. Yeah, and he's rich. And it's this very old school kind of writing, very noir, sort of stories and stuff. The art is amazing. I never even knew it existed, and Stephen had us all read a storyline so we could sit around and talk about it. And man, I got hooked on that stuff. Like, I'm seeking out more of it. It's good. Like, legitimately fun to read. I mean, it's all, it's like old storytelling, and plus they're doing a daily strip, so that's tricky to kind of, you know, have every strip's a cliffhanger kind of. And it's like three panels and it's just a different art

form. But, man, I had fun with that. That's really good. I'm glad. I'm glad. That's probably, I will say, we've done a lot of comic book strips over the years, including like Flash Gordon, Prince Valiant, and a bunch of others. And this is the one that seems to have been a success with everyone. In the past, we've read these things and it's like, it's racist, it's dated. It's horrible. Oh, we even did the amazing Spider-Man one. Now, that wasn't racist or dated. But, man, it was like three panels. Let's tell you what happened the last time. One panel of development. Let's give you a, a crappy cliffhanger for the next strip and then repeat. Yeah. He, it's, it's something. Anyway,

the art alone, I think is worth the price of admission. Oh, yeah, most definitely. Yeah, I can't remember the guy's name, but it's really good.

Well, anyway, Stephen, we're here with you and, well, good news, everybody. We found a new, well,

we found our new TV Kirk. We have our movie Kirk, right? We got our Chris, one of the Chris's. Chris Pine is our movie Kirk. Who is our TV Kirk? Yeah, tell me about the TV Kirk.

And what is he, do you think this guy's going to, make it. It turns out his name is Paul Wesley. Yeah. If you've

seen vampire Diaries. Get off the bridge. Get off the bridge, Wesley. Paul Wesley and he's like a kind of a skinny dude. I expect him it'll be a little buffer for some reason.

I don't know why. Is that bad? I thought that. I mean, go look at the first season of William Shatner is Kirk and he was pretty skinny then too. Yeah. In fact, they all were.

He was just kind of barrel chesty. Go back and look at the first season of next generation. how slim number one was. Yeah, this is him chat right there. He looks fine, I guess. He just doesn't look very rebellious. If anything, he looks like old school

Pike from like the TOS series, whereas you know, he's under Pike on this, I assume. I don't even know why Kirk's involved actually. Do we know anything about this story? Because it is Pike's show. Right? I have not watched a single episode of this stuff.

I don't subscribe to the Paramount Network. Not that there's anything wrong with people who do it's just at the time when that launched there was there wasn't enough of an offering for me to get on to that so i haven't watched anything uh i haven't watched uh what is it discovery which everyone talks about which has been really good it's good this most recent season has been really good and it just picked the like they finished up the first half of the most recent season and now they're just finishing up the second half of the most recent season yeah they're i watched the i watched the free episode of picard that they released didn't care for it

And so I've just been like, I just have kind of passed on a lot of the Star Trek stuff, waiting for it to come out in someplace else. I keep hearing the new season of Picard is way better than the first. The first one's a little slow and weird at the beginning and not great. But the, well, Daryl, if Daryl's to be believed on Twitter, he thinks the new Picard season is the B's needs. Yeah, a lot of people have said that. So maybe, I don't know, you bring Q back, you get a little Borg in there going on. Borg Queen shows up. That's pretty cool.

Yeah. Well, all right. So, yeah, look forward to that. I guess that'll be part of Strange New Worlds, the new series, headed by Enns and Mount as Christopher Pike. It was your pike. Yeah. And he's, I really liked that turn in, what the hell is it called? Discovery, where he shows up and is a huge part of that.

I don't know what he, like in this latest season, Brian, is he involved at all? Is he off on his own? No. They've all kind of, he's kind of gone off on his own after that season. Who knows if they're, if they're, if they're, if they're, uh, if they'll meet again, but, uh, for right now, no. All right. Well, there you go. We don't have to wait long. It's May 5th, I believe is when the, when it's supposed to drop on Paramount Plus. I just think he could be, kick, someone's going to kick his butt easy. I don't know why I feel like. The first, uh, green, uh, alien woman that he hooks up with is going to snap him in half. Yeah, she's going to put those green legs around him and then that's the end of Kirk.

Done. Uh, that'll be a new, it'll be a new universe, you know, a new timeline. It's fine. Kill Kirk Early. Move on. All right. Let's move on to this. Atlanta is back, everybody. The TV show, that is, not the city.

Yay. March 24th. I'm super excited about this. Comes out March 24th. They showed the first episode of the first couple of episodes at South by Southwest this past weekend. A lot of people are like, this goes into some very deep territory. Don't expect the entire cast to show up in the first episode. It's going to be kind of like they describe it.

It's kind of like that episode where they surfed that did the channel surfing. And Paperboy was the only one that was on that episode. This one they say it goes into a disturbing territory, even though Donald Glover claims that he wants this season to be kind of like a fairy tale. So I don't know how that works. You know, they've gone into some deep topics in the past. And I can't wait to watch the show when it debuts. it has been since 2018

since we last... A long time. Yeah, I know, right? Because 2016, you had the premiere, and then how many seasons so far, too? This is only the third season, and I think it's the final season. I think you're right.

Yeah, there it is. Final season, they say. We've been watching Insecure, which Issa Rae. It feels like it's the L.A. counterpart to Atlanta. Oh, okay. I heard good things about that.

Is it good? He's great. It is really good. It's sometimes funny, but a lot of times, you know, serious and interesting relationship stuff. It's like, it's really good. Yeah. I also really like Zazzy Beats. She was awesome in that...

Yep. She was on Atlanta. Yeah. She was in that... Probably still will be. Yeah. She was in that, what was that movie I liked? The Harder They Fall, was that it?

The Harder they Fall? Yeah. The Harder They Fall, that Western. Diderselba and Her... Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Jonathan Majors.

I freaking love that, dude. I thought that was so good. I need to say it still. And then, okay, the weirdest thing of the week was that Paul Dano is writing a Ridler comic. Oh, that's right. So for those of you who haven't seen Batman, the Batman, sorry. He is playing The Ridler, and DC announced that he is also going to write a Ridler Year 1 comic book coming out later this year. Is it going to be, I mean, I assume it's based on this take from the newest film, or actually we don't know.

It could be anything. We don't know, but my guess is that's what it's probably going to, it's probably going to shift to because he knows that character very well in embodying that for the film. So I'm sure it's going to kind of spin out of that. You think this is one of those, okay, from your experience where quote unquote celebrities or whatever, they, they jump out of their normal acting space and they do a writing job or something like that, is this going to be like he's writing it, but really they're ghost writers who are writing it? Or is he known for this? Does Paul Dano do comment? know anything about how much kiss blood is in this comic is what we want to know i don't know uh what his writing background is um there have been instances in the past where they've done

some stunt casting with like um there was a spider man series that j j abram's son uh kind of wrote with jay j kind of uh serving as the backup on that slash ghostwriter on that and that thing was horrible um it was bad wasn't it was really bad but we've always also seen, like, some very talented, uh, writers, uh, Ava Dvorne, um, uh, what's his name? Mosley, uh, is currently writing the thing. Yeah. Uh, over on it on Marvel. And so they've brought in, um, oh, now I forgot his name who did Black Panther. You know, they brought in some top notch pros writers. Uh, yeah, to come in and do, uh, to do these comics for DC and Marvel in the past. And they've been very, very good. So, so this is going to happen. Sorry, keep going. My mic. Oh.

finally decided to just let go. Oh, there's some damn thing. All right, I'll fill with it. That's okay. Mine's kind of the same way, Scott. It's barely holding on by a thread the scree-snap years ago. You're going to be rocking it like a, like, Stephen Tyler, the front manning holding the microphone. Yeah, let me do this a whole show. This is how the show goes on.

There around your neck, Scott, that you could. That's just to hide my waddle. I looked him up for some writing credits. It looks like Paul Dano directed. and wrote a movie in 2018 called Wild Life. Yeah, it's got Jake Gellenhall, Carrie Mulligan, good cast. Reviewed pretty well.

Who do you think would win in a stare-off between Paul Dano and Dalmatian? Oh, Dalmatian. Delmash Chain. Dalmat's Jane. I think Paul Dano could probably outstair him if I had to guess. Okay. All right. I could be wrong.

But there's another guy who's writing comics. That Dalmash Chain guy's writing comics right now. Is he really? Yeah. Is he written for DC? I don't know if it's for DC, but he's writing, it may be an independent thing, but he's writing something. I like this. I like these comic, you know, these actors that are in, like, genre films crossing over like that. I think that's actually really cool.

So, he will finally drink his milkshake. Well, this is all good, as usual. All this stuff always coming out of major spoilers.com if you're looking for the latest and the greatest. So go check it out. Stephen, anything else going on this week? Let's see, we've got a lot of solicitations for comics that are coming out in June. So if you're wanting to know what's coming up three months from now, We've got that over on the site.

And then I think this week for the major spoilers podcast, we're going to do a Twitch live stream, 8.30 p.m. Central time this Tuesday. Oh, very nice. And, yeah, Twitch.tv slash major spoiler. So hopefully we can get a lot of people to show up for that and do some AMA and maybe some Spider-Man, No Way Home Talk, because I was finally able to see that movie. Oh, you did? Oh, good.

Yeah. Excellent. Give me the quick, liked it. So here are the best. Spider-Man movies. Here's my favorite. Let's just run down. I know.

Marvel-related. Yes. Into the Spider-Verse number one. Yes. Homecoming number two. Oh, interesting. Then I think, I ran down this last week. There's like a skip.

There's two skips of other Marvel movies that I like. And then we get No Way Home. So it's in my top five. It's in my top five. So even just among all the MCU movies, Homecoming is your second favorite. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting.

Oh, wow. Okay. Now, I will say, and it's maybe a little bit of a spoiler. For those of you who haven't watched Spider-Man now. We never do that on this show. I know. But there, so here's the thing that it struck me while watching this. And I think maybe a whole bunch of other people may have caught this as well.

There's a scene where Spider-Man is fighting Electro in the forest, right? Wow, Electro's in that? I know, right? And he decides to take out all of the power lines. This is early in the movie. So this is not like it's going to rule out it for everybody. And as he's taking out the power lines, I'm screaming, Peter Parker, you're just a dumb kid.

You're going to knock out power to New York or whatever. It's like, have you not learned anything? Yeah. And I'm sitting this, you know, saying that to myself, thinking that to myself and I started thinking, has the phrase that Ben, that we know that Ben tells Peter when he was a great power comes with great responsibility? It's like, has that ever been said?

in any of the Tom Holland movies. And Tony Stark came close in the first in Homecoming, where he called him just a stupid kid that doesn't learn anything. Yeah. Well, didn't Aunt May say something in this one? That's right. We do get that. I wasn't going to say who said it in this one.

But it is finally said to him in this movie. And then when you think about how all three of those movies come together, three of the Tom Holland movies come together, it makes perfect sense. that this is, yeah, we don't need to see Spider-Man being bit by the spider and how he got his powers, because that's, you know, that's all known. But it's this learning of what it takes to go from somebody who has all of these powers and take responsibility for his actions, right?

That ends up becoming, you know, the big overarching story or theme for these three movies. And so it's really cool. Yeah. It reminds me of another movie recently where we don't get. an origin story that we don't need to see anymore and it's all I'll say about that. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Do we, is it a spoiler to say whether or not certain people

pass away in a movie or not? I think so. It depends on when the movie. I mean, if we're talking about the Wains, yeah. I mean, you can't do Batman's origin without the Wains dying, but you just don't need to see it every single time. Well, that's my question is is it a spoiler though to say, like if that movie shows that or doesn't show that, is it a spoiler to say whether

they showed it or didn't show it? Yeah, I think so. Really? Okay. Because most people complain. But I'm not going to say whether or not, who knows if I was talking about the Batman. I could have been talking about Venom. We don't need to see Jay Jonah Jameson's son get onto that space shuttle and get contracted with the, what you might call it, symbiote. You could be, for all we know, you're talking about Ben Affleck's sex movie you just made.

It could be that. That's right. We don't need Ben Affleck's sex origin. You know what? You know what's a really good Ben Affleck movie that's a really good Ben Affleck movie that's a real surprise. Yeah. Yeah. There was a, what was the Ben Affleck movie?

It just came out. It's on, I want to say Amazon. It's the something bar. Justice League bar. No, no, no. It's not the Justice League bar. Justice Bar. Is that the basketball one?

No, it's the one where he's a bartender. The tender bar. It's really good. Yeah, I heard that was good. I heard real good things about that. Like, really. I need to watch that to erase the crap out of my mind that I just watched. Yeah, he can be good in things.

I liked him in Final Duel. Just watched Deepwater, which is... Oh, the shark movie? No, no, no. It's the him and Anadharma, brand new on Hulu. They're horrible people who are horrible together. Okay, yeah, yeah. No, definitely watch the Tinder bar, because it's really tender.

It's really nice. The tender bar. So it's not like a swipe left bar, swipe right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It is about... It's an autobiographical movie about a kid, J.R. McGuire, who decides he wants to be a writer and this kind of tells his life

when he was a very young kid, when he was in college, and as he gets out of college, and his uncle, played by Ben Affleck, runs the bar that, and he encourages him to just, you know,

continue to pursue writing. So this is kind of a life story of this, of this character, J.R. McGuire. Yeah. And it's very, very cool. It's done.

Hi, Sharon, Lily Rob. I like, I really like Lily Rob. Christopher Lloyd. Christopher Lloyd is great in this. Cool. All right. This is streaming on. Amazon Prime, so watch

that. What do you think Christopher Lloyd's going to do in the Mandalorian season three? That got announced. Do you hear about that? We've got to get slave one up to 88 miles parsecs per hour. 88 parsecs per hour. I made the joke that the, and where we're going, we don't need robes

or some dumb joke like that. He's, I don't know what he's going to play. I assume some weird half alien man or maybe not, I don't know. But that's a weird bit of casting, I thought. Does he get to play the Hume Cronin character from the Christmas special? No, but there's an idea.

There's your plan. Sorry, I'm still wrestling my microphone. This thing can bite my butthole. Can you put it between your legs? Trying to. That's actually the goal here. It all fell apart. The cable is your problem, right?

It's like, yeah, you've got the microphone, but the cable goes through the bars of the microphone, which makes it impossible to kind of arrange. It's really obnoxious, but I'll work it out later. All right. Well, Stephen, this has been enlightening, as always. It's great to have you here. And I'm guessing we'll see you next week. Is there anything else happening on the major spoilers network that you'd like people to know about? No, but I would like to remind people as it starts to get warmer outside, please stay hydrated. I agree with that. That's a good idea. Let's do that. All right, Brian, we are going to play a mashup while I try to fix this.

So I'm actually going to mute my microphone while we play the mashup. I'll still be able to hear it and enjoy it. But I'll be mounting my microphone while I'm doing it. Okay. Mount your microphone. Yeah, maybe. It's already falling apart. Do you permission? Did your microphone give you permission?

I don't know. I feel like my microphone has not yet given consent, but we'll see if we can get this worked out. All right, here it is. This is a mashup from Jamie, who, by the way, is a... I love this. I can't wait to hear this. He is a monster in freaking Scrabble. My gosh.

Oh, he is. Yeah, well, you know, we can... Maybe we talk about Scrabble and my bitching. We should talk about it. we should talk about him why they don't have that moat because I actually think it's weird they don't but anyway he just murdered me uh me too he's he's excellent he's really good but anyway a Canadian public school system is apparently it's crazy but anyway he's got this one called too early for a fish sandwich I think you have an idea of what audio might be in this one so enjoy

coming up on TMS is it too early to get a Brian to get a shit Hey, is it too early to get a fish sandwich? Actually, no, we do have fish sandwiches up at this moment. All right, I'll take, just take one then, one fish sandwich. I'll do it. You want to fight me, Batman. It is just like a shaft. It's just a shaft coming off the right of the boobs.

It's a shaft on the boobs. Pops and Recline found an article about the selling counterfeit, counterfeit. Counterfeit. Counter frit. I believe these drugs might be counterfeit. Could you test these and tell me? Hey, is it too early to get a fish sandwich?

Good fish? Yeah. How many? Just one. And it jumps? Nope, that's a tit. That's a tit? Did you say that's a tit?

This one's six bucks. Holy cow. Wow. Oh, my gosh. What is with fish? Yeah, that's ridiculous. Denny's used to make great counter fritters. You remember those?

Counter fritz. Oh, they were so good. Wash them down. Yeah, but you didn't eat them at the counter. Yeah, he did. You couldn't take them. back to your table. Sorry, sir, these are counterfeiters. These are counterfeiters, not table fritters, which together carries a strong likeness to the male ween-ween. Two bowls and a pean.

Yeah. Yeah, look like a crusty old pisser. If Morgan Freeman's character was rehabilitated during his time in prison, that would also be turning red, because red has been turned from his life of crime. I mean, I guess I could just tell you what you'd like to hear if you want to let me go. Uh, is it too early to get a fish sandwich? We have our home any all day every day. All right. Let me get a fish sandwich. Yeah.

Nope, that's it. You want it to look at regular? Regular, please. Hey, Brian, how's that vagina treating you? You thirsty over there? Your Diet Coke, you all right? How's that vagina treat you? That is where he goes.

That's absolutely where he goes. Freaking Dave, man. It's a good... Oh, why am I blanking on his name? From the office. Hank his area. Phil Harmon. No.

That was pretty good huge, you know, big things to Bobby and Bill for putting up with that during their segments, like constant interruptions and... Yeah, especially Bill. Bill had no idea we were going to be doing that. Right, yes. At least Bobby was in the chat and kind of had some, you know, some warning. That didn't go well. All right.

Hammond and I listened to the entire catalog of information society I love them and if you want to know what we're thinking there is one show you can listen to and that is soundography soundography.com find out what we've got on permanent loop I can see why

Hey, let's get to our request closing out here. Tyler wrote in and said, Hey, Burtum. You mentioned you were light on a request for the Monday's TMS. So I'm here to deliver. My daughter, Riley,

will be celebrating her fifth birthday on March 19th. That was just a couple days ago. She doesn't listen to the show yet. Good thing, but I'm working on developing her music palette so that we might someday graduate from the saccharine-drenched kids' music CDs stuck in repeat in the car. Oh, if I have to listen to Wheels on the Bus one more time, I might need a lobotomy. I'm certain she would love to hear a song dedicated to her on her special day. I don't know if this has been requested recently, but I was thinking a cover of Fly Me to the Moon, but anything you could play would be terrific.

She has a love for space and all things video games as well as an upcoming first trip to Disney World that we're prepping for. fun love you little peanut love the show though tyler k well happy fifth birthday riley this is for you this song right here um five is an amazing year by the way it is yes and maybe you won't listen to this now but you'll listen to it in the future when dad decides that it's a good time to introduce you to some uh frank sinatra themed heavy metal that's right it's time for a little bit of frank sin so if you just take off the atra then you get frank sin i don't know the voice on this guy so familiar. I don't know if it's like, it almost sounds like the elite singer the refreshments, but I don't know who. That's interesting. Who does this? But the band is

called Frank Sin. They came out on an album called Gods and Broads from 2006, a cover of a song that was originally by Kay Ballard, but popularized, of course, by old blue eyes.
