Do not soak them in acetone. All the cracker barrels. 2022. I'm Scott Johnson here with Brian. Hi, Brian.

Hello. Brian is frantically trying to lock in some seats for the multiverse of madness, which... F5, F5, F5, or is it F4. I can't remember. What is... I think it's F5 on PC, I think. Okay. But you're probably having a command R this business. I'm not even having to do that

because the cycling thing just takes me back to the front. At this point, I'm just kind of... Well, let's explain what's going on because we've kind of jumped right into it. Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness tickets have gone on sale this morning. And AMC theaters sent me a great email saying, hey, come on, you're an A-list. Come on, get a ticket for you and your entourage member.

And come see the movie. It was them who said to you come get them. Exactly. And then they put me in a queue for a couple minutes saying, okay, hold on. We're getting everything ready for you. There are a couple people ahead of you in line. But, you know, but when we're ready for you, we'll take you. and then they took me and I'm still in this loop of pick your seats all right hold on thinking thinking thinking sorry try again pick your seats yeah it should let you save well that'd be a nightmare if the whole system's borked but if they could let you save your session so it knew what seat you had already pre-picked and then if yeah refreshing all that all that refreshing should do at that stage is refresh the next point of the purchase not having to pick your seats all over again my thinking is that somebody else is picking the same seats or

has already picked the same seats and the system hasn't logged the bin yet. Oh, it could be that. Yeah. But remember when we were talking about the F seats? Yeah, the F seats. They're sold now. I don't know why. How are people getting in and I can't?

You should jump up some letters. Go up to the... I moved back to J. Yeah, they're back to the J's. All right. G, H, and I are all like the five middle clusters are all taken. So I'm going back to... You know, these are big.

uh big theaters i could sit anywhere except the front two rows and be totally fine yeah front if you get way in the front you're you're gonna ruin your neck it won't be good oh god yeah the multiverse of uh neck pain i saw i think we saw um mission impossible four in those seats it was like one of the first times they had oh geez um yeah what a what a rough movie to see with your neck crane um yeah i think tickets were almost sold out all those left was the front row but this was one of the first times that recliner seats were available and it's like oh well let's try the front row you know it's recliner we can kind of lay back and watch yeah and nope even with recliner you're like you're still looking side to side yeah was that the one with uh henry cabal

it's like having battling dentist saying turn your head to the left no can you turn it to the right no could you turn your head to the left oh that'd be a nightmare i don't want that ever in my life did was that the henry cavil one the fourth one the other one he was in do you remember yeah i think so i think That's right. Ghost Protocol. I think it was Ghost Protocol. If you guys have never seen Ghost Protocol, or even if you have and he didn't notice, next time you watch it, just watch his pocket while he's in the bathroom.

Because he does this thing where he does his arm cock. It's in the trailer as well. And he's about to beat up Tom Cruise in the bathroom. And he does it. And when he does it, his shirt goes from a pocketless button down to almost the exact same shirt but with a pocket. With a pocket with a button. And it's clearly digital and it's clearly kind of a goof.

It's continuity goof. And had the pocket not appeared, you'd never even notice there was anything going on. You know, though, devil's advocate here. I've seen people in that movie rip their Tom Cruise face off and it's somebody else underneath. Why couldn't he have a shirt that he does this like with his arms and all of a sudden it's got pockets? It's like, now I can beat you up and I have capacity for pens, some business cards. Right, exactly. A protector.

Could you have a handkerchief? Yeah, hold on a sec. There you go. Okay, I kind of like that better. That whole world is a better world. I'm into it. That's the world we want to be in. Yeah, he was actually really good in that.

I like that. He was, yeah. And he didn't have a mustache or he did have a mustache, but he didn't have to cover it up. No, in fact, I think the reason they had to cover it up was because he was filming that. Because of this movie. Why didn't they just have him wear a fake mustache?

I've never understood that. Oh, yeah, that's a really good point. Instead of... It won't, it's not like that we're old hollllllllll. where you got to paint it on or something just put on a good fake mustache it'll look just like his and then when he's done he goes over to zack's place he can film his superman business right never understood that it's really weird like it's so backwards it's like which is the easier thing if we've learned anything from the little rascals it's that a mustache is an easy thing to procure

and put on your face yeah what's harder do the mustache fake mustache that looks real that you can now take off and film your other movie or take the time effort and whatever to grow a real mustache, and then not be able to shave it, so the whole CGI team has to come up with a method to make Henry Cavill's lip look normal. Like, that's so backwards. Who was in charge? What are you doing?

All right. What is the deal? What's the deal? Anyway, so we'll keep an eye on this as the show goes on. Brian, we'll give us updates, and we'll see if you get your tickets or not. If there's any point where you say, Brian, what do you think of that? And I go, huh? What? What? That's because I've decided to move to a new row.

And I'm weighing my options. Oh, well, this one's pretty good. Close to the bathroom. Is there any chance that this could just end in a nightmare scenario of, okay, well, all the seats are gone? I guess I don't get a ticket. Totally. Easily could happen. Easily. I'm prepared for that, you know.

That sucks. How are they getting in is what I want to know. I want to know how F-11 and F-12. I want to know how they got their seats specifically. I'd like you to walk up to them with a camera, with your phone out when you go. F-12 and L-Eleven and go, excuse me, I would like to know what's going on. And these two nerds will look at you, like, what the frick is this guy doing? I'd be like, hey, hey, I had these.

These were mine, damn it. I picked them before you did. Maybe just didn't let me have them, but they were mine. Yeah, so enjoy them. So enjoy them. I'll be back up there in H. Yeah, yeah. You better have an eye on the back of your head because I'll be watching you, you can say.

Exactly, yes. And then the Marvel thing will start. Duraner, ner, all right. Flipping the little flip-flip-flip-flip-flip. They do that still? They kind of combine them now, right? It's like a flip-fit-flip and then more realistic-looking comic art. And then you're zooming through the letters, backing your way through the letters of all the heroes.

And then it's film people. Then it's actual like footage of the character. I really like how they have evolved. I do, too. Like how that's kind of evolved. I like the DC one too with the, you know, like here's Superman. Like you had a little pose of Superman. And then here's Batman throwing a batarang.

And then here's Wonder Woman. Throwing a lasso. Woo! That's pretty good. It's pretty good. That's the best thing about the DC movies is that intro. Can I tell you the one I don't like? Yeah.

It's the one of the opening, I wish I could remember which one it is, but it's got a dude firing an arrow that is going through like three swinging targets that have a little hole. Oh, yeah. And the arrow is going through all three holes perfectly. Yeah. There is some effed up perspective in that one. And it throws me out every single time. Like, God, why didn't somebody fix that? Somebody forgot.

Somebody forgot the rules of perspective they learned in high school. that arrow the arrow looks like it's coming from a different angle because you kind of see instead of the arrow being straight on like it would normally be you see the arrow way worse of an angle somebody somebody in our chat's got it to have a link to that intro i'm sure i'm a giant fan of that though when i was younger i used to think man i could a job for me that would be cool i remember as like a teenager going wouldn't it be cool to be one of those people that made those nifty pre-roll things like the the ridley scott one the scott free one i love that one which is like Like that weird-looking dude that's like in the dark, it's like painted. And then he runs away with a light. And then he flies into a bird form or whatever. It's one of the coolest things ever made. And once in a while they'll do a shortened version of it. And I get mad because I'm like, no, you have, it's a piece of art.

You don't shorten it. You play the whole thing. Right, right. This is a Ridley Scott movie. It's going to be three and a half hours anyway. You may as well put an extra two seconds on there, you bastard. You don't partially sign your name on some of your artwork. Or you sign your whole damn name on your artwork.

Straight up true, Brian. There it is. What you said. TSD entertainment. So look at the way that arrow is sticking out of that last axe. I guess they're axes with a hole in them. I don't understand that either. I don't get that.

But the arrow clearly is not in the direction that it came from that dude way behind all of those axes shooting it. Yeah. It's like up to the wrong side here. It's the magic arrow back and to the left. Back and to the left. the left. Okay, so picking it up is cool, firing it is cool, but then magical pull to the right. It's wrong. It's bad. It's wrong. I agree. Thanks for finding that. Who was that? Joe Guy Art. Thank you very much. Joe Guy Art. Epic fail. Good job. Not you, Joe Guy, art. You're fine. You did great. You get it. Oh, oh, I get it now. That was good, and it went right over my head like an arrow.

That's all right. Sometimes I let them go because people tweet me and say, oh, that one, You know, you snucked that way, and you didn't think anyone noticed, and I'm like, yeah, I did. Sometimes they're sneaky, yeah, they're sneaky, and they turn out to be comedy gold, but I just step over them because I'm not paying attention to the gold in front of me, you know, I'm looking at the dollar way over there. No, that doesn't make sense. I've mixed my metaphors, once again. All right, hey, we got some, some emails here. One of these is a follow-up to that fast food deal that we talked about yesterday. I registered complaint about, you know, combo meals being less expensive than all the cart versions of the same.

Right, right. Aaron Fielder, he actually said this on Patreon, so I pulled it out of there of our Patreon over at patreon.com slash TMS. Some of you were curious, it says fast food combo pricing is a psychological trick. They determine that people will actually spend more money because they think they are saving money by buying a combo instead of just the hamburger and the fries. They are more likely to add extra cheese or additional meat patty or a dessert or up sale to a larger meal or milkshake instead of the soda. This sounds like a fascinating science. segment for Bobby. Maybe.

Bobby, I don't know if you ever want to dive into, like, marketing psychology. Sure. Yeah. Because I think he's right. That's, there shouldn't be a surprise. I mean, you know, they're certainly not saying, you know, let's do a combo meal because it's the nice thing to do. Yeah.

Well, yeah, it's never going to be out of the kindness of their hearts that they're giving you. Right, exactly. You know, we should do. We should really be nice to people and make it cheaper for them when they buy, if they buy three things instead of just two. Yeah. But, yeah.

Agreed. Agreed. also had some updates or somebody I asked for it and they were delivered I should have reached out to Ken because I knew he was there but we have some we have listeners in Korea and he's there full time and knows a lot about Korean stuff didn't even think of it but thankfully he listened and wrote in his name is Radar O'Reilly that's right he heard the choppers we were the choppers in this scenario he says hey Scott as you know I have been living in South Korea for 22 years and yes I have a

tattoo but in Korea tattoos will never stop you from getting into a bathhouse. Interesting. Tattues will never stop you for getting into a bath house. In fact, they will in Japan, but not in Korea. Not in Korea, I guess. It says, in fact, tattoos are super popular now with the younger generation. Yes, tattoos are associated with organized crime. However, gang tattoos are the typical full-back tats of huge ass dragons and tigers. So kind of the typical ones we see in like a yakuza game or something. Yeah, yeah. Says, but making tattoo parlors are legal would do little to stop the activity because these

gangsters tattoos are all done in house good points not like they're scheduling appointments with legit places yes uh i'm a yakuza hit man i'd i'd really like to have a giant dragon on my back how would you charge like they're not going to do that they do it in house they got some guy in there with a with a tattoo unit there's a built-in guy they have a guy already who does that yeah they have a guy you don't sit there and go well let's see it's between the the flaming pair of dice and the Yakuza dragon. The anchor that says mom.

Let's go with the Yakuza dragon. I'm thinking about joining. You have a coy fish? How about a dragon with like a bunch of language on it about killing everybody? How about that? Anyway, the reason tattooed parlors are illegal in Korea, he says, is because of a court

ruling in the 90s. This was around the time eyebrow tattooing became popular in Korea. And of course, there were lots of places that started to offer this service. This boom came with cheap, shady places that did them and caused infections and other complications. This prompted government action. According to Korean law, any procedure that breaks the skin causes bleeding and risks infection requires a medical license.

The Korean Supreme Court ruled that tattoos are a medical procedure, so tattoos are not illegal. Putting a tattoo on someone without a medical degree is illegal. I hope this answers your question. Love the show. So that's interesting. That makes great sense. Yeah. I get it.

I mean, I still feel like maybe. what you would want to do is regulate tattoo you can do regulation of the tattoo world in your country without forcing them to be medical degree holders you know what I mean like you can we do that here you you have rules you have to live by in tattoo parlors here licensing and stuff like that cleanliness checks and making sure and that sort of thing so it's like restaurants and food checks same thing, you know. Yeah. Not a full on medical professional, but you do have to have to know what you're doing and be certified and use clean stuff. Clean stuff. Always use clean stuff. Here's my favorite PS though, or this is a PS I really like. Says just a useless trivia, but firefighters

in Japan used to, uh, used, sorry, used to put tattoos all over their bodies, getting these tattoos displayed masculinity and courage. They also believe the tattoos would form a spiritual protection from the flames, uh, and other hazards while they're being firefighters. But on a more practical level tattoos in various spots of their body would mean that they could be identified if they died in a fire. It says in a fire, their face might not survive, but hopefully a small section of their body would not be burned. If a tattoo was on that spot, the firefighter could be identified.

Do they have tattoos in modern day Japan? No. Smiley face. Oh yeah, big greeny face with a deep. That's interesting. What a weird. It just feels like such a crapshoot to be like, all right, well, if I were to die in a fire and if you know most of my body was burned then at least this one spot if this is the one spot that's not burned at least they'll be able to identify yeah they'll be able to find me I always thought you just fall back on dental records but you know I guess identifying stuff in general like I'm trying to think if I died what's identifiable besides my teeth I don't think I have anything I got I got this weird mole on the top of my head oh

yeah right as you're just saying like uh you don't have a a steel plate anywhere or a um no i have fake eyes but i think those would melt uh not eyes but lenses they're just fake fake lenses i don't know if you would identify anybody by their lens anyway probably not no i think that would be that would melt before anything else uh well i don't know but let's ask a real doctor Brian Dunaway, actual doctor. Hey, what... Beijing, Dr. Dunaway. What would you like to be identified, or how...

They found your charred, burned body in a building, and your teeth were gone. How would they identify you? Oh, hi, Scott, and Brian. They would identify me... They would identify me by... Let's see, not my dental, no, my glass. says, I suppose, no. How about the expression on my face?

Oh, okay, there you got me by the expression of my face. Eek is hot in here. Yeah, Eke, it's hot in here face. Oh, it must be done away. Since Brian Dunaway, he's been missing for a week. Now we found him. He says, Eek, it's hot in here. All right, it's good to have you here, dude.

Take up all my clothes. Welcome to another edition of... I want to play some tadpool feud. We are definitely going to play Tadpool feud. In fact, we have a listener right now. Let's find out who it is. Hi, who is this? Hey, it's Dwayne from St. Louis, also known as Ro Baby in the Tadpool.

Real, real good. Anyway. Real good. All right. Let's do this then. Okay. Well, boy, this is a good one. Put your hands on your buzzards.

Uh-huh. We asked the tadpool. Now it's like I have to make sure I say buzzer. I like, now I'm trained to say, back to a buzzard. Relabel that buzzard a buzzard. I should, I should. We asked the Tadpool,

533 of them responded to this. What's your favorite one-hit wonder? Scott. Lean on me. Oh, that's good. It doesn't, it may not count because it's a cover. I thought you was going to flounder around

a lot longer than that. I know it's like, you're talking, you've got to be talking the club new vote. Yes, the Club Move-O version, not the earlier one that they covered. Don-Dong-Dong-Dong, yep. All right. Damn it. Brian White Open board, went to the temple, say.

Yeah. I do really like that one. That one takes me back to talking about this, because we listen to that all the time when we were closing. I hate that song. Yeah. I'll go with the one I heard this morning because I don't know what else they sang. But I was listening to some tainted love. I've heard a lot of covers of tainted love.

And this is a cover I heard, but I can't recall who originally sank it. So is it a one hit wonder? I don't know. Let's see. Show me Tainted Love. Oh, it's on there? It took a long time to come up. Yeah, no, the original version was by Gloria Jones.

Soft Cell did the cover that we all know and love. but Gloria Jones did the very original version. Do we know her from something else? We know her as the woman who was driving the car that killed Mark Bolan. Oh, damn. From the band T-Rex. That's about all else we know about. Right.

That's gnarly. Yeah, it is. It's totally gnarly. Okay. Well, all right then. That means Brian, it's you and Vro baby here running the show. me yeah so what do you what are you thinking you got something well you got to go with uh something about you know never gonna give you up oh there you go never gonna let you down never gonna give

you up never gonna let you down i always think he has more songs that were popular and maybe one is it on the board yeah what did he did have another song together forever that's right nobody thinks of that nobody thinks that they shouldn't if they do yeah shouldn't think of any of this but Forever we too And as you know I'm going to be the sing along Is that for cute isn't it?

Show me that other Rickrolley song Number four Nicely done. Look at that. Bro baby coming in hot Number four. Look at that. I want to say

Oh, I'm afraid because I know of a lot of one hit wonders I listen to them all the time. I love because they're usually the catchest ones, right? And it's like, How did they get that one magic song? Yeah, this would be a really difficult one for me because knowing my favorite one hit wonders,

but what people would say are the popular one hit wonders is a very tough distinction. And once again, I have another one, unless you, and do you want to go with another one, or do you want me to throw one in there? Oh, go ahead. Oh, baby. All right. I'm going to go with four nine blondes. What's up?

What's up? And thank you for calling it. What's up and not, what's going on? What's going on? I won a huge box of CDs from 995 The Mountain because they had one of these little song scrambles and a little snippet of it was What's Up by Four Nond Blondes? And everybody kept calling in and going, What's Going on by Four Nond Blondes? And they get all the other ones right. And I called in and said, What's Up?

By Four Non Blondes. It did get me mad. No, it made me happy because I got a big box of CDs. Well, that's good. You won. Nicely done. So, all right, show me what's up, Four Non Blondes? Oh, that's a shame.

That was in the list. It was number 29 in the list. All right. Yeah. It's a popular one, but not popular enough to make the guys. I'm going with who let the dogs out. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, Baham, man.

Yeah, the Bahaman. All right. Show me the Bahaman. The dog's out. Oh, come on. Really? I know, I know. Oh, I thought he was on to something.

I was thinking about Mambo number five immediately after him. I'm a little scared. Yeah. Oh, wow, you're already jumping in. You don't even want to ask bro baby? You know, if he has? Oh, yeah, bro baby. What do you think?

We can go with that one. That's fine. Okay. Okay. Do that. Yeah. All right. Is it Lou Vega?

Lou Vega, right? Lou Bega with a bee. Lou Bega. Lou Bega. That's what happens when you only have one hits, Wonder. Originally by Perez Prado. I didn't know.

I didn't know that either. Yeah, Lou Bega just basically took the song by Perez Prado and threw lyrics on it and made it a new song. Weird. Show me, Bambu number five. Oh, I know. This is a lot harder. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be. Well, there's just so many.

I mean, every year there's a one hit wonder. I mean, like 10, 20, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but these are all, I mean, look at this. If I look at this list, it's like, yeah, of course, these are the ones people would pick. They're very, you know, these are the upper echelon of one hit one. These are going to annoy us when we hear them.

They're going to annoy you when you guys hear them. Mamba number five, that thinks they still play that every freaking year. Lean on me. And I forget, too, that was number 15 in the list. People did say that one. They just didn't say it high. They didn't say it high enough. Yeah, they didn't say it high enough, of course.

All right. I'm going to go with Let's swing over to some Oh, that's dangerous though Let me think for a second Whatever, I'll go with my gut Let's do some wrap Let's let's get vanilla ice out here

Vanilla ice is His one thing His Ice Ice Baby song That one His Ice Baby Forget that zero Get with the hero Yeah

Forget with the hero It's so bad Those lyrics suck. They're so bad. Yes. Stop. Collaborate and listen. Show the Ice Ice Baby.

I wanted to give it to. It was number 11. It was just outside the list. It was such a good one. I've totally lost my mind. What do you think? You got anything over there? How about Mickey?

Oh, Mickey. You're so fine. You're so fine. You're so fine. You roll my mind. Mickey. That's a big one. That's a big one.

This is going to depend on how XE the chat is. If they're not a love Gen Xers who remember their youth, you might be screwed, but we'll see. Right. All right. Show me. Good guess. Good answer. Show me Tony Basil's Mickey. Also a cover, by the way.

Everything. Oh, my God. I know. I know. I'm so, I'm like, I was trying to figure out there was no real good way to give you hints on these, but... Can I get an extra X? Yeah, I don't know if I can.

I think it'll automatically, I can reset the buzzer. I mean, we just got so many in our heads, right? I mean, I've got a million. I'm going to give you guys, do we have time for? Well, they don't lose. I mean, they win by default if I don't get enough points, right? That's true, yeah. Because I still have an X.

Yeah. How do you want to do it? Well, I'm going to let, no, let's let you play this out. Let's let me let Ro Baby get the gift. Yes. Okay. Well, that's fine with me. Yeah, either way, I'm fine with that.

So, Scott, take your guess, and let's see where you end up. All right, let's go with, uh, uh, um, my brain, I, I know that this is not his number one, his only hit. He had many hits along with his band and himself, but I really, my brain keeps saying, say, uh, I got my mindset on you, by what's, uh, I'm not going to do it. It doesn't have to be, it doesn't have to be true. It just has to be with the tadpool things. It's true. Yes. uh too sexy for my shirt that that guy oh yeah right said friend yeah all right

sexy for my shirt i just said that one show me uh right said fred i'm too sexy damn it oh my god number 12 i believe yeah i've given up on life i don't know who's oh no i'm too sexy was way further down wasn't it um godly where is it i know a lot of people i thought a lot of people said it but maybe not too sexy for my shirt something it hurts I'd say what I've been listening a lot lately the acoustic version of

take on me even though oh take on me I wouldn't say aha was a one hit wonder though but that's that that's so far outpaces everything else they have that oh no doubt yeah it's kind of like you know that was their big hit the sun

always shines on TV was a minor hit but I don't think it right I don't think it broke through enough or the theme to the Living Daylights. Yeah, you should have said that. Take on me the number one answer. What? Also from, I think that same year was our number two,

which was from Dexie's Midnight Runners. Yes. Come on, I lean. Add that on my head, is Frankie, is relax on there? It's not. It's surprising. Actually, nobody said relax, which surprised me. Really?

Yeah, I think two. tribes was enough of a hit that Frankie goes to Hollywood wasn't considered one hit one. Yeah, they're a little bit like shout from Tears for Fears. They had other great songs, but it just, it was one of the songs that once again just kind of outpaced everything.

And I don't know what's going on, but you know what Zoomers really are into? Take on me. They freaking love that song. I don't know why. They're all like recreating the video on TikTok, making like weird, sketchy videos. Because it's a great song. I'm a pretty good fan that really should have had a bigger success.

there, but their first hit was such a big hit and not, you know, didn't show enough depth that people were like, oh, I'm going to see what else these guys have. It was just like, yeah, all right. I know what, screwed him. Their stupid name. It's a dumb name. It is, because it's lowercase. It's got a hyphen in it.

Yeah, it's a bad idea. It's kind of dumb. All right. Your number three answer, I'm going to the 90s for this one. You get knocked down. You get back up again. It's tub thumping by. Chumbalam.

Yes. Didn't they have one other one? Well, I mean, the whole album, but a lot of them probably did. Once again, this is what they might have had something in the UK. That was,

that was the only thing that they did in the U.S. Fair enough. I thought about that too. I was like, what about Tone Lokes Wild thing? And I'm like, well, he did it have to phone called Medina. I'm like, would anybody to remember that?

And I'm like, I don't know. That's a two-hit wonder. If you see him in concert, he does those two songs twice. He starts his show with him and he ends his show with him I was thinking MC Hammer I'm like But you know there was a couple It was a couple of them too

Yeah Just to make it the day Too legit to quit Pray Yeah Yeah How about the men without hats Oh I love them

Dancing You want to you can leave all Bramah They ever do anything else That was it That was the big one They did They had a hit with Pop Goes the world

But I don't think it was was big in the U.S. They're still putting out music, and I've actually seen them in, like, oldies concerts. I like a band who had a one-hit wonder that continues to make albums in 2022, and their one-hit wonder was in the 80s. I think that's great.

Yeah, you don't have to have hit songs to be a band. No, exactly. You don't have to not make music. And there's enough of a following for Men Without Hats that they'll still sell albums or still sell streams and downloads and stuff like that. Sure. Yeah.

This number seven is technically not even really a song from a real band. It was from a movie, but that movie was about a one-hit wonder band called The Wonders, that thing you do, the One Eaters. God. That's a deep hole. That's a snake eating a thing. That's such a great song. There's nothing wrong with that song at all. There's no wonder why it was a hit, see?

Yes. No wonder. No, O'Neider, why it was a hit. Number eight is one that's near. and dear to our hearts because when we did our 500th episode, J.K. Grammar led a group to re-record a version of this song. I think

it was J.K. Grammer. The Proclaimers, I'm going to be 500 miles. Oh, 500 miles. They got a couple other D.C. They did. That's a big one. Bobby Boris Pickett, also, not a real person. Well, maybe

Bobby Boris Pickett is, but his nickname Boris was not real, because he did that for the Monster Match. Oh, that's a really good one. Yeah. I'm surprised Mickey didn't get it earlier, though. That was a really good guess. Mickey was a really good guest. That's how you know, by the way, if a song is good, if it catches on in a flash. That's how you know. Yeah. Would that song have lasted as long if it wasn't tied to a holiday, right? It's like one of our only Halloween pop songs. It's the only one I can think of. I can't think of any others. I mean, is there anything else?

I don't think so. I mean, uh, purple people eater kind of, you know, you hear that once in a while and... Yeah, and you hear the Nightmare before Christmas album and stuff like that. A thriller by Michael Jackson. Oh, yeah, thriller's very Halloween. That's true. Yeah. Uh, our last one.

The zombie. Well, not zombie, but Barbie. Barbie girl by Barbie girl. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And try and get that piece of crap out of your head for the next. stuff. Right. I know. I feel like you can do it easily though. Just glance at any one of these other ones and you'll be back to having that in your head. Totally. Totally. Yeah. Use this list to like, I don't know, change your mind on things. Like you're like, oh, man. I can't stop thinking of that. If you need to get, if you need to get something out of your head, just think of one of these 10.

Yeah. Yeah. It would be good. Think tub thumping. It'll get you every time. Well, well, well, well, there, guys. It's good for Ro Baby, though. That's for sure. Yeah, you won. Ro Baby, how do you feel about your You're a massive win. Boat. I'm happy with that. Yeah, you'll take that to the bank. Fantastic. We'll send you these codes, but you've got to email Brian, coverville at gmail.com.

Also, he'll send you that physical thing. So he'll probably be asking for your address, but we can promise you. No, it's not a physical thing. It's a piece of paper. Oh, you're just going to show them the code and all that. I probably will just take a, yeah, I'll scan it. With a screen. He waved it.

He's fine. He waved it. It's fine. I did. I waved it on purpose that time because I didn't want it. I don't think anybody can scan. that thing if it's being weighing. By the way, we would have heard already if this worked for people, so

I think we're good. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you did. So, just an email address of Roebaby to Cover Village email.com, and I will get you these prizes. Congratulations, once again, sir, and we hope you play again. All right. There goes Vro Baby. Here's the deal

with Brian Dunaway. He and I do a show called the Play Retro show. Yeah, it's called Play Retro. And we play a lot of retro games, and we talk about them and talk about the history of them and the impact of them and that sort of stuff. And this week, normally it's on Tuesday. Today it's today.

Or this time it's today. Yeah, today is Wednesday. Today is Wednesday. I had to shift some stuff around. So it's tonight. Oh, 3.30 Mountain Time. This week only will be doing an episode of Play Retro. So like literally right after DTNS ends, I run over to this and we do this.

So be there for that. We're talking about Kings Quest, the early, early Kings Quest games. And the bigger picture there is, you know, do adventure games, point-and-click adventure games, do they even exist without something like King's Quest? And I think there's a strong argument they don't. Yeah, there's an argument to be had, and we're going to have it.

We're going to have that argument today. 330 Mountain, frogpents.com, TV, and if you can't watch it live, the podcast, of course, is wherever you get your podcasts all over the place, and it's free, so go get it. You use Spotify? That's fine. It's right there. It's right there on Spotify. You got that horrible Google podcast player,

that always breaks on me, it's on there too. So go and do what you've got to do. Everything in between, it's available. Hey, Brian Dunaway, anything else you'd like to add? Yeah, I play those video games nightly at 6 p.m. Eastern Time. So come in, tune in. I've been playing Kings Quest like crazy. What are we playing next, Scott?

I think we might be playing some four-player 90s arcade action games. Yeah, baby. Up next. So if you tune in any time this week after today, 6 p.m. Eastern Time on my Twitch channel you'll probably see me play it to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, maybe? Simpsons? I don't know. Think Battle Toads.

We'll dip into some console versions like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Turtles in Time for the SNS is one of the greatest four-player co-op side-scrolling brawlers ever made. But we'll get into all that and more on our next episode after this one. All right, hey Brian, kiss our butts.

See you later. Okay, Brian goes off into the ether. I never even did tell you some of these other ones that made it into the list, but My Sharona, 99 Luft Balloons, hooked on a feeling, Spirit in the Sky, No Rain, Bitter Sweet Symphony, Teenage Dirt Bag. It's a good one. Oh, I love that one.

There were a couple of, like, a few 90s ones, but for the most part, these all settled well into the 80s. Yeah. Even Blur's song number two made it in there. Woohoo! Yeah, it's good. It must have been a 90s action movie trailer when we last heard that. That's right.

We asked 533 Tadpoolers and 11 movie trailers what their favorite one-hit wonder was. Nice. We, Kim and I were just talking about this because what was the song now? I can't remember what we talked about. There was something that's like this. Oh, really? Has it used a lot now? Yeah, and we just talked about it.

Add to the bone by George Thurgood or, gosh, dang it. I don't remember what it was. We just had this conversation. And so the fact that this was today's topic is pretty funny because we were just saying it. But now I don't remember what we'd said. It was good, though. I can tell you that. Me and my wife had a real laugh.

If I remember it, I'll tell you. All right, here's this, everybody. It's time for some quick news brought to you by. By America's Next Top Podcaster. Hey, it's on the feed right now. Episode Zero, meet the contestants, and hear what we give them for their first challenge. You can visit America's Next Top podcaster, or if you've gotten your podcast catcher, your downcast, your overcast, your pocketcast, your pocketcast, your iTunes or your Apple Podcast app,

which I think is just now called the Apple Podcast app. It'll be right in there for you. Episode Zero, Season 4, America's Next Top Podcast. Very nice. Real quick here, I remember now. So Kim and I saw the Triangle Man. I can't think of the band all of a sudden. Oh, they might be Giants.

They might be Giants. Geez. We saw they might be Giants in concert, not too many years ago here in Salt Lake at the Depot. And it was great. But they refused, even though people in the, audience were chanting it at one point they refused to play

the Melvin in the middle No, the Birdhouse and Your Soul thing Oh really? They refused to play it And our best guess was Because even they would do on stage We're like, yeah, we're not playing that And then they'd move on to do other stuff And they played everything else

I know, is that weird? I really felt like are they Do they think that's their one wonder Or that it's too close to one? John and John, what are you thinking? Yeah, it annoyed me. I wanted to hear it. me too i feel like uh like that's a that's something you don't do as an artist right like if your

crowd is demanding to hear something yeah so i yelled at radio head radio head won't do creep in concert oh really same thing then they they hated that song probably same thing yeah this too when something gets too big everybody wants to avoid it but i say you know i yelled out uh not to put too fine a point on it play the song i said they didn't do it nicely done they didn't do it uh uh Yeah, Jonathan Colton recorded that at the Coverville 500 concert, his cover of that song. Nice. It's great. He even accidentally says Waka Piku at the very end of it, and it's magic.

We should all say Waka Peku at the end of things. Waka Peku. Yeah. Always walk your Peku. All right, look at this here. We got a horrible story to start the news off today. A Southwest Airlines passenger. It's already a bit of a cattle car, but whatever.

They're better than they used to be. I like Southwest. I mean, I know a lot of people don't like the go on and pick your seats, but I've never had an issue where it's like, oh, I'm stuck in this crap seat. You know, I've always been able to get a seat that I'm comfortable in that I want. So take this for what it's worth and it's probably not worth much. But I've always had the impression that only children have an advantage.

Only children. Oh, oh, oh. That's what you mean. I thought you meant... Not just kids. Like, specifically children have the advantage, but you mean only children. Only, like, people born with just you. Like, you're an only child, right?

I am an only child, yeah. And I know a number of others. I was not. There were six of us. I feel like for some reason there's an advantage there to the idea that, let's say, you've got to go visit a relative and you're the only one going, and you're on a cattle car type deal where you've got to wait for a number to come up, and then you're just lucky to get whatever seat you get.

I feel like for some reason that lands easier for an only child who is not constantly competing with the five other kids than it would for me. Again, completely based on nothing. It's just an impression. Well, here's the thing. Southwest, before they let the B people on, right? So first you get your A people and they have everybody in numbers, assigned numbers.

So it's like, all right, A, 1 through 30 on this side. a 31 through 60 on this other side they let those guys go and then they say all right parents with small children and then so those guys all get in so that they can get groups of seats together and that sort of thing and you know Southwest doesn't have the seats those horrible seats

that face each other anymore no they got rid of that thank God yeah we used to we used to have to do a kind of a commuter flight back and forth to Idaho for a company I worked for and so we were always back and forth from Boise and the it was always in those facing each other seats they were terrible terrible

You know, what's worse than sitting next to somebody who doesn't bring a magazine on the flight and just stares forward the whole time is facing them. Yeah, facing them. And having your knees touch because I'm a tall guy. It sucks. It's a horrible arrangement. I can't believe they ever did that. Well, I can think of one thing worse on a flight and we're about to read it. Yeah, that's true.

Good point. Southwest Airlines passenger arrested for masturbating. Not just once, not twice. four times during the flight. Four times, man. Four separate times. They didn't even have time to eat his pretzels and peanuts? I mean... Yeah, no kidding.

Man on Southwest Airlines flight from Phoenix, or sorry, from Seattle to Phoenix, is facing several federal charges for pulling down his pants and masturbating. This is just like I'm wearing some loose, you know, like sweatpants or something and go into town with those. isn't like somebody fiddly-diddly in the corner and nobody can watch him. He's going like, you know, full-on exposure here. Yeah. Let's see.

He did this four times in front of a female passenger beginning shortly after takeoff, according to a criminal complaint first obtained by the Daily Beast. Antonio Sherrod McGarrity. I don't trust any of those names. Nope. We're not, you know, bias or anything, but you put all three of those names together. weird stuff. You get a serial killer name is what you get me. A McGarity sounds like a, you know, Raylan Givens was going after him. Yeah, or something like that. Wasn't there

McGarity and Friday Night Lights? Yeah, there was. A guy named McGarity or maybe it was just Garrity. Just Garrity? Yeah, I think you're right. The actor that played the guy that owned all the local car lots. Yes, right. And his daughter was, what's her face? Oh, Minka Kelly's character. Minka Kelly, yes, right, yes. Who, by the way, she was in Euphoria and still a stunning woman. She's beautiful. By the way, she's the daughter of not, okay, so Aerosmith.

She's the actual daughter of somebody? Not Aerosmith lead man, but who's the guitar guy? Oh. Joe Perry? Joe Perry's daughter is Minka Kelly. Get the hell out of here, really? Yeah, yeah. So both of those two dudes have two very successful actor daughters.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna, uh, Rick Dufay from, uh, Aerosmith. Oh, I don't know which one, whoever's name. Yeah. Yeah. But an Aerosmith guy. Another Aerosmith guy, yes. Yeah, the Aerosmith guys have a, have a history of making wonderful young actor daughters. Well done, guys.

Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. Rhythm guitar, lead guitar from 1981 and 19, before. Rick Dufay. There you go. Parent of Minka Kelly. Yeah. You never would know from, I mean, look, Aerosmith, they did it in an elevator, is my understanding. And as a result, two great daughters, good job.

Yeah, as you say, do you think she's friends with Liv Tyler or do you think they're I don't know. I mean, I, you'd think that I'm sure the bandmates never talk, especially the one who's gone. Yeah, yeah. So would the daughters go out of their way to be like, you guys sec we're going to be friends i don't know maybe and by the way yeah garrity was the uh character name uh she was lila garrity and i'm trying to find oh it's his name i'm going to guess it here uh yeah so you can get it before i find uh finding the cast list jim garrity john garrity gary garrity nope that wouldn't be there go i just don't know it russell garrity he's not in the main group i have to go further down

Buddy Garrity. Buddy! Buddy! Bradley. Bradley. Bradley. That guy's a great actor. He is. Very good. I like him and lots of stuff. All right. Moving on. Oh, anyway, so he did this. Silverado. Oh, yeah, he isn't Silverado. And Silverado's awesome. Never forget. Never surrender. All right. What else I say? Anyway, let's see. Antonio, he was arrested. Officers of Phoenix Police Department and Southwest Flight people, the Air Marshal guy. They all landed in the Sky. Guy Harbor Airport on Saturday, and according to the complaint, he told cops that he didn't do anything wrong and, in fact, thought it was kind of kinky. It wasn't me, but it was kind of kinky.

Like, that's going to help you. I don't understand that. Right, yeah. I didn't do anything wrong. Oh, geez. Garrity exposed his ween, ween by pulling down his pants and shorts and began doing the doo-daw there. When the female seated next to him noticed the lewd behavior, lewd!

She began taking pictures of McGarity, not in the way. you're thinking uh when he when he fell asleep it says when he fell asleep after masturbating for roughly an hour i don't know if that means roughly for an hour or for roughly an hour probably or he or he slept very roughly because i would argue that his waking time was pretty rough too uh nothing about this guy's good um the female passenger told crew member about what she had witnessed and was allowed to move to another seat well i hope that's the least you get lady you should be able to move seats and also get free drinks and free flight you should get to pick whatever seat you want on the next five southwest flights you go on

i agree 100% and that guy should have to pay for it from jail all right that's it for today's news all the masturbating he wants that's right four or more is what he likes okay uh there's your story and that's your news we're going to take a break when we return one randy jordan aka randy to Lux will be joining us for an episode of Recommendals. Tom Merritt is out this morning with an appointment but he's fine. He'll be back next week so don't worry about that. But anyway, we'll be back with that shortly. Brian, play a song before we go.

Happily do that. Now tell me what you think, if I were to say oh, a Turkish rock band. What do you think they would sound like? Like weird instruments or strange accents or like, you know, a weird sort of sound to them or something like that? I'm going to guess

kind of grungy with kind of an odd accent that's the best I got closer to what you're going to get yeah alternative rock band boy is this not having to do anything with our last story bits and pockets

brand have a brand new song and video called halfway through an episode this is going to be coming out on their debut EP which comes out April 29th via MMY records their debut EP is called The Bits you'll find the song halfway through an episode, here's Bits in Pockets.

Even though you tried to make sense, you won't be fooling again. I thought of all the things I could have said. All the words failed in a head. Sitting in account, I won't you start a fight while I got to slow my pride. I'm just feeling like an episode of a show you tried to watch but never kept it on. Maybe I just gotta hurry home, so I'm slowly walking through with compassion. She's never going to slough ahead of cup. She'll find another man through her lashes.

She's never going to stop. Kids will never grow. Surely lost my pride, so I'm taking home. I thought of all the things I could have said. All the words failed in her hand. Sitting in a cab, I want you start a fight. While I got to swallow my pride, crawling over all I shouldn't pay.

But the rest to risk the grave. Something deep inside me might have let me here She didn't even know my name She didn't even know my name So I'm waking from a dream into my self-esteem. If she's on the theme, she would have collapsed. Then my head is stepping back, as I pass it till intact, barely had some sleep.

I'm covered in sweat, but I don't want to carry on. Sitting home and wondering if I'll let it go. Halfway through an episode, I pick your phone and think of alone in circles. Because I don't want to carry on sitting home and wondering if I let it go. Halfway through an episode, I'll pick your phone and think alone. I'm having hot dogs on a piece of bread. That's what I'm having for lunch. I heard.

I heard the burr. The morning stream, space rock. All right, we're back, everybody. That song, please tell me about it again. Sure. It's called Bits in Pockets. Sorry, the band is Bits in Pockets. pockets halfway through an episode from the upcoming EP, The Bits, which is coming on April

29th. Check down. Very nice. That sounds great to me. Good. Good stuff. All right. Adding Randy, although he's showing his offline, so this will be fun. I don't know if he's actually here. But we're going to find out, it says he's currently in World of Warcraft. Randy, is that true? Are you in World of Warcraft? Are you just always in World of Warcraft? Hello, Randy? Randy? You muted? I think you might be muted. Randy? He's blinking, but no speaky.

Andy, are you out on the Lanai? Are you on the Lanai, Randy? Yeah, are you up there? Are you under a palm tree, Randy? You drink in a pineapple drink, Randy? You got a fancy drink with a little umbrella coming out of. Coffee, Randy? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, I heard something. I did too, yeah. Say something? Oh, there he is. You heard good morning, morning. Good morning, morning. Hi, Randy.

How are you? How are you? Oh, I forgot to play this. Okay, there you go. There's your theme. Hey, look who it is. It's Randy's joining us from Hawaii, where he's still on vacation and still, you know, deciding that it might be fun to hang out with us for a part of it.

Aloha. And it, yeah, that was my, that was my Bluetooth headset deciding, oh, I could be in the party year. Yeah. Why not? Got that, got that turned off. It gets so flaky. Like, I did that, I had the Bluetooth going when I did the fish sandwich face-off thing. And, like, once I disconnected the Bluetooth, everything sounded so much better.

And I couldn't explain it. It was so weird. I still don't know why it was that way. Yeah. I just want to, I want to catch up with you on the subject of objectivity versus what you like. Go for it. Because I love, I love that you ask the tadpool, hey, name something that you like. Oh, sure.

That's going to get engagement. That's going to get people to say things. But objectively, the biggest one hit wonders are things we don't like. For example, achy, breaky heart. by far one of the biggest one-hit wonder. It spawned a career for a child that wasn't even born yet, that song, right? It kind of did, yeah. Wouldn't we have a miley if we didn't have an achy-breakie?

Right. I went to see a band based on a one-hit wonder about 20 years ago. And I mean, it's a towering one-hit wonder, a song that you can't imagine this band has other songs. I went and saw them live. They were incredible. They're from the south of France. So everything they sing is in like Spanish, French. So I didn't know anything I was hearing.

And it was all new to me, except their very last song they played, which was Bombolayo by the Gypsy Kings. And I'm telling you, man, bombolayo by the Gypsy Kings should have been number one on your one-hit, global one-hit wonders, right? Over a take on me or come on Eileen or. No, right. Because you asked what you like, right? Like, yeah, it's not, I mean, some band from the south of France. Yeah, but nobody likes half of that list we saw.

I think a lot of those were just like, well, I shouldn't say anybody likes them. You know, those lists are based on popularity. Yeah. Yeah. And even if you don't like it, if you knew it off the top of your head or you were in the top three choices or whatever, that says something about the song. We may hate it, but it doesn't mean. You wouldn't have been a big hit if people didn't like the line dance, drunk at weddings. Exactly. That's exactly right. And we also have the opposite, which is as an

individual, where you irrationally dislike something that everybody else likes. Because everybody else likes it. Yes. For me, that one-hit wonder is the song Werewolves of London. I ate that song. Where Wolf in London? Scott, hang a button. Hang a button right now. You don't be smirch Warren Zivon in my presence, my friend. I thank you. I don't even know the guy's. name because that that song is so there's something it's irrational it's absolutely irrational right like like i saw i saw someone post on facebook the other day that they hate timit timet salome and i'm just

like oh that's an irrational thing for that one person i like that timet salome i like him he's fine i like that his name rhymes if you say it the right way yeah timothy shallame yeah he's he's got some chops that guy'll be around he's a little you know he's a little bit of a a weirdo, but whatever, they all are. They're all weird. They need to put a shirt on. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe wear, you know, clothes. Whatever.

My, my, what's, oh, gosh, there's a one-hit wonder that my wife hates. It's, uh, something in the sky. Oh, Spirit in the sky by Norman Nguer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That song is a one in the sky. So the one that we've heard all the time in the 80s was the one that was the cover of another one, right? Doctor and the Medics. Yeah, Doctor and the Medics, that's the one I, that's the only one I, that's, that's the only one I was familiar with until, actually, I think until I met you and you played other covers

and then mentioned that it was from an original. I was like, what? Like, tainted love. I didn't know that until you told us. But the, man, the doctor in the medic's cover, I feel, is such a, it is such a carbon copy of the original that it was one of those, you know, why'd you do it? Or why'd you do it like that? Yeah.

Why'd you bother? Yeah. And of course, new generation. Of course, as I've learned, if you, if you are a person like my wife, who hates a song like that, like Spirit in the Sky, oh, you're going to be, you're going to be hearing it all the time. Yeah. Once you hate something, all of the same, it's like noticing that the other checkout line

moves faster kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I honestly, I never heard of Warren Zevon until his episode of Arliss. He was on, he was on the show Arlis. Yeah. And like, they played the song. And I was just like, I don't know who this is. I've never heard this.

And then for the rest of my life, I hear that song all the time. It's kind of why I hate Kid Rock. It's one of the reasons I don't like Kid Rock is because of him taking We're Wolves of London, Sweet Home Alabama, and then just throwing new lyrics on them. I mean, is that, you know, come on. I'm also fascinated by the concept of two hit wonders, because I think that's way harder to do. Oh, yeah. Well, you know. I think if one hit one hit wonders.

Wonders could have a second hit. They'd be really happy about it. It's like the outfield, left field, outfield. The outfield's got like two songs that are epically memorable. And then the rest of it's pretty good. Like, and there's another band. What's the other one besides your love? So you got,

You don't have a vacation far away. Oh, my God. Is that the one? Yeah. All right. And then the other one is, um, uh. Since you've been gone. Oh.

that's really good I love those guys my best possible example of a two-hit wonder is the band Mr. Mr. Because not only were there two hits really big hits

but those two songs you can run them together. Yeah. It's kind of... It's like, take these broken wings, Kerry. Yeah, yeah.

I feel the same way about Night Ranger, but I'm probably the only one. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are like, oh, awesome. Shut up, Brian. Yeah, I'm kind of with you, though.

They're not. They're okay. They're fine. I could talk about this forever, but I also have something. Oh, good. You got recommendals. Hey, let's do that. Yeah, let's watch recommendals. So we got some stuff here. Brian, you always start first, and I see you've got two this week. What do you want to do here? I've got a movie and a series. So we're going to start with the movie for this one. All right, here you go.

Monsieur Pouaron, I hope you can forgive my hijacking your holiday. Couldn't let you miss the fun. It is an honor, and it is convenient to my own plans, although traveled by water does not naturally agree with me. Oh, I could tell you. Well, I should not tell you, actually. But I suspect you perhaps may have included me for reasons other than the fun. I wish we'd gone home, like you said. I don't feel safe here.

Not me, not Simon, even with Jackie gone. But you are among friends. When you have money. No one is ever really your friend. Now I'm remembering all jealousies and fights. And it takes a bill to get to sleep. I don't feel safe with any of them. I hoped you might watch for us.

Sounds like French people. It's sort of, yeah. Hercule Poirot. is the person you barely hear in that thing. That's Kenneth Branagh as the fictional detective created by Agatha Christie for Death on the Nile, the sequel to Murder on the Orient Express. Wow, it's already some strong opinions in the chat

about how they think it's terrible. Listen, I'm not going to try and say, oh, no, it's great. It's better than average. You know what? it's um it's if you need something just kind of put on and let your mind wander for a little while it's there are far worse things you could watch i know it sounds like the worst thing to say for a recommendal but i think it's worth seeing you're you're fitting into a track for

recommendals for me that is very specific and that is i am i am looking around at things to watch right yeah and i'm thinking would would scott or brian tell me that this is the good Russell brand and not the bad Russell brand, right? Because that's all I need. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, that would be good or bad Russell brand? 100% good, like the best Russell brand. Oh, yeah, I don't think you're good to get. You barely mean Russell Brand is in this and, you know, you recognize and say, oh, that's Russell brand, but barely.

like he's super clean cut there's none of that whole kind of stinky Russell Brandiness of him open or happening you know what you know what I mean right like are you telling he doesn't look like he smells like like Russell Brand usually looks like yeah yeah are you telling me watch this and I'm not going to hate it because of this person that's what I'm asking oh yeah no no you absolutely won't hate it you won't hate it because of any any person um you'll you'll at first say oh is that is that uh Margot Robbie? No, it looks like Margot Robbie's a little sister, but it's not. It's, uh, who is that? Emma Mackie, I believe is her name. And you know her from sex education. She's the love interest of the main character who gives the sex advice and his, uh, Gillian, Jillian Anderson's son. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, his girlfriend that he really likes. Yeah, yeah. Like her. Mave. She's great. And this, it's like, at first you're thinking, how, I didn't know Margot Robbie was in this, but, uh, that's an

So, hold on a second. Is it like, this is a follow-up to the train one. It is. Murder on the Iron Express. And you've got a big, you know, just like in that one, you've got a cavalcade of stars. You've got Annette Benning, Gallagadot, who you heard in that clip there, Army Hammer. Jennifer Saunders and Don French, so French and Saunders from absolutely fabulous. Like, the British comedy pair playing a couple.

a couple of people in this, but are, you know, not funny at all. So it's kind of a weird thing to see. I thought Army Hammer was banned for putting his wiener somewhere. It wasn't supposed to go or something. Didn't he get in trouble? I didn't know he was in movies anymore. He's allowed to put it on the Nile, apparently. He's allowed to do movies now that they're, you know, if they're shot in Egypt, then you can do that.

So did this land better than the previous one? Is the previous one better? I still haven't seen either. So curious. I think they're actually pretty close to on par with each other. And I'd say, I'd give them both like a C plus B minus kind of thing. They're, they're worth seeing, and you get some great performances by some people. You really like, Leticia Wright from Black Panther is also in this. They're not, you know, it's not going to be the best mystery that you've ever seen, best mystery movie you've ever seen.

But this is the, these are the movies that if we didn't have, the originals, the original books, we wouldn't have murder by death or clue or things like that. It's, you know, these all kind of owe a lot to, to, or I'm sorry, those movies all kind of owe a lot to Ague the Kirstie and murder on the Orrin Express and death on the Nile. It's good. I'd say it's good. And I'd say it's worth saying it's, my second recommendal might be a little bit higher on the list. but um but uh we enjoyed this yeah okay so good a good nice sit down watch it kind of deal yeah and i've never seen the peter houston no houstonov the original version uh of death on the

nile there was a 70s one yeah people were talking about in the chat room and i'm trying to who was in that one that was was that houstonov i'm looking it up right here yeah 1978 Peter Eustinov, Death on the Nile. Yep, there you go. He was Perrault in that? He was her cute, Perel, yes. Had a much better, had a much less silly-licking mustache than Kenneth Prenoy had in this one. And my favorite named actor in the history of the world.

So Mia Farrow's in that, but also Simon McCorkendale. That guy's in there. That's a great name. McCorkendale. That's great. Yeah, but the original also has Maggie Smith, Angela Lansberry, Betty Davis, Mia Farrow, David Niven. Yeah, George Kennedy. was cool. I like that guy. George Kennedy from the police squad movies. Jackie Warden or Jack

Warden rather. Yeah. Yeah. It's probably pretty good. It's well regarded. I don't, you know, this new one, I just kept hearing nasty things about it, so I didn't rush to see it. Yeah. I'd say it's it doesn't deserve, it doesn't deserve any hate. It's, it's good. It's, uh, it's good. It's a, it's a, you know, like you said, a B minus C plus kind of movie. Okay. I love that. I'm just going to hold that phrase for a while. The morning stream. It doesn't deserve any hate. It doesn't deserve any hate.

Yeah, there you go. Put that on my gravestone. All right. Excellent. Next one. We got a TV series, yeah? Oh, I will tell you this. There are very few subtitles in Death on the Night Oh, well, then I'm in.

Let's go. Let's do it. That will not hold me back at all. All right, here's your TV show. This is one I started watching, so I'm very curious to hear what you say at the end of it. So here we go. We're looking for an artist.

Someone who can restore a recently acquired collection of damaged videotapes. Well, what kind of damage? Fire damage. Smoke, soot, water. The fragment you digitized is part of the collection. The fire, the Vista building, right? That's right. In any case, the contents of the tapes would need to be kept confidential for legal purposes.

The fee would be $100,000. Well. There's just one hitch. because the materials are so fragile, they can't be moved. So you'd be doing the work at our remote research facility in the Catskills. It's beautiful up there. Not a bad place to be on alone. Right.

Before you say no, Dan, here's why. I think you're our guy. Creating this archive, putting this puzzle together, finding out what happened at the viscer. Well, it would mean the world to everyone. lost someone in that fire and I know you have a special understanding of a situation like that okay so you're telling me that one of my favorite podcasts was made into a TV show is that this is I honestly did not true I did know really you like the other podcast archive

video I never knew it I didn't this the first time hearing that that was a thing I had no idea I didn't find out as a podcast until I did some deep diving into it after I started watching it so yeah sure enough archive 81 based on a podcast um i don't know how long the podcast lasted but sadly i'm going to preface this whole thing by saying archive 81 just recently within uh the last couple weeks was canceled so we're not going to get a season two and i'm going to tell you that while the storyline uh comes to somewhat of a conclusion it doesn't tie up all the loose ends um but it ties up enough to to where you can justify it as a black mirror episode kind of ending.

Okay. Well, the podcast went three seasons. What's a season of a podcast anymore? It's just the beginning and ending of a story, right? It's 35 episodes. Yeah, they did 10 episodes per season. There was a, they have something called Left of the Dial, which was like extra stuff. That was an extra three episodes.

A podcast about the podcast probably. Maybe. Maybe. But I never. even heard of this until today. Yeah, so we had somebody who recommended this to us and said, oh, yeah, if you like this and this and this other thing, you'd like Archive 81. And so you and I both started watching it. I, so it starts out, it started out for me strong. I know it, it wavered a little bit for you. For me, it wavered a little bit in the, um, the next to last episode. And it does that

thing that so many of these shows do these days, which is the second and the last episode is going to be a weird flashback that doesn't have any of the characters you love from the other episodes, but it's going to kind of help explain everything that's going on. I want to say like a haunting of hill house

and the other things that guy has done kind of do that. Midnight Mass, that kind of stuff. Midnight Mass. That's the other one I was really? Midnight Mass. I love Midnight Mass. Didn't that do a, I loved it, but didn't do that thing where I didn't

I'm not saying that those faltered in the second last episode but they all did that thing where they do a flashback episode for the next Oh yeah yeah they all I feel like that's just standard for the genre now I don't remember Midnight Mass doing that I think that can be really egregious so I'm kind of surprised I can be done right

but I'm also one of those people that thinks the fly episode of Breaking Bad is good yeah and everyone else is annoyed by this one off weird thing where they don't actually progress most of the story, but I actually really like, there's a word for it. We've talked about this before. There's a name for those episodes. It's like, shit, whatever it is. But yeah, I'm a fan of that sort of thing. But my thing, so what wavered for me in the beginning of this, I think was a comparison I was making immediately to what both the emailer had told us it was

like, but also what I had just finished watching. So he was like, oh, if you like devs, if you like brand new cherry flavor, you like these weird kind of things. Boy, you really like this. And I had just finished brand new cherry flavor. And this is not. to those standards like it's not as good as that absolutely agree yeah it's it's good i can't imagine i can't imagine that it would be because this is i mean this is not this is a straight horror story right it's it's a thriller it's a supernatural thriller there's some there's some horror elements i'd say that um it's a little less harrory than the uh like haunting of hill house and midnight mass and stuff like that but it's but it's in

that, more in that vein, I'd say, than it is the devs kind of thing. Yeah, that was my impression as well. Yeah. And it's definitely, you know, it's misleading because everyone says, oh, found footage, but it's not really, not in the traditional sense of found footage. Not in the, um, yeah, not in the Blair Witch project of, kind of like it's based on the concept of fictitious footage that's found. Well, not just that, but what I mean is like if you're watching Blair Witch, like Brian alluded to, it's, you know, that is like everything's about this old video and the whole story's being told through people taping their experience and then we found that footage this is actors acting out scenes doing things

who are now working on some found footage right but it's it's really a bad label i don't think it should be called that yeah yeah it's um but so just to kind of recap with the the um intro told us so the story is about a guy who's hired to go up to a secluded private residence and the cat skills and restore some video footage that was recovered from a fire of this apartment building in New York. And he's a skilled at this. He can take stuff apart and take the tape out and clean the tape and do all these things to kind of resurrect the tape, which blows my mind that, you know, I would think that the magnetic tape inside a case would melt way before the outside of the case would. But he's able to do this. And through this, he gets to watch

this sort of documentary study that this woman is creating about this apartment building and the people inside it and she's got kind of an ulterior motive for doing this that we find out an episode or two in. But it is, it kind of goes from there. And there's, like I said, a demon, supernatural kind of element to this that a cult that gets uncovered. um the ending although isn't you know is this technically the ending of the series uh the season ending is satisfying for the most part like you said i would have liked i definitely would have liked a second season of this to kind of explore another character's further journey uh in

here but you do get kind of like i said kind of like a black mirror episode if you think of it as like a black mirror like what's going to happen now roll credits then uh then it's a very satisfying ending that's a good way to look at it's what i would say about the best uh fictional podcasts that are out there they're their audio versions of black mirror and like that's really you know that's really what i i like to see i like to find you know listen to uh more because you know charlie booker man he's not he's in no rush well the other thing is i think it's a very hard medium dramatic podcast content or in radio it doesn't matter like anywhere where anybody's doing like acted out drama on a podcast i think that's freaking hard and to make it come sound right and

be right and all that like even the best audio books often when they're when they're done that way where they've got multiple actors and things even those you're just like well it's not quite the same as seeing this or whatever um so yeah when everyone can anyone can pull that off and it sounds like Archive 81 did because it was by all the accounts very popular i just never heard of it the uh the main character is a little bit of a connection to a previous recommendal that both uh Nicole and i did uh for the tv show cake that weird short form uh animated but sometimes not animated anthology thing the main uh character is played by mamadou athi who is uh he was the the main character in the oh what were they called no jerome no

Oh, Jerome, no. Like all the, it was a live action segment to think that you'd get multiple parts of in cake. That was that weird talking tree thing. There was a tree in that. I remember this. Yes. So, and he's great. He's a great main character to have in this.

As far as everybody else, there's, you know, a lot of people, you're like, oh, I think I know something about, like I've seen her maybe. Dina Shahabi is the main actress. Melody Pendress. Oh, we know her from some stuff. I thought we did, and I didn't look back to see. Jack Ryan, I don't know if you guys saw that. She was in the altered carbon. Oh, okay.

One episode of Daredevil. Once I saw that her eyes don't line up, I couldn't unsee that. And I know that's a me thing. Once I saw that. Venus, you're hobby you're talking about? Yes. Her eyes don't line up. No, yeah, go look at her on IMDP.

They don't line up. And look, you know, none of us are purely symmetrical. I know that. I know, Claire. I know. I'm not a, and I don't, I think she's beautiful. Don't, you know, don't get me wrong at all. But, uh, this is like Brian and Chins.

It's the same deal. It's fine. Exactly. Yes, like Brian and Chins. Yeah. But, uh, yeah. No one's eyes will be more higher or lower than each other than Shannon Doherty. So this is still pretty.

Shannon Doherty raises and lowers the bar at the same time. Yes. And I hope she beats her cancer. She's awesome. All right. Anyway, moving on. Absolutely. Yes, I won't be a-ist. But anyway, Archive 81, well, I should have said. So Archive 81 on Netflix and Death on the Nile on HBO Max. Very nice. Here's mine. It's a documentary. It's on Netflix. And I just, I was hoping to finish it before the show. I didn't quite. But I think I've seen enough to make a recommendation. So here you go.

I went to dinner last night. Pure food and wine. It's all raw food. Nothing is cooked. At the next table, which is a super hot blonde. Then it turned out she was the owner of the place. I started nine years ago, and people didn't really understand this whole vegan thing. We've been growing steadily year after year. Farma was the raw vegan queen. Okay, it's short, but it's a bad vegan. Everybody tells you they're a vegan.

All bad vegans just tell you they're vegans. Well, and she does a little of that too, but bad vegan fame fraud fugitives. those are all words in the title. This is a series on Netflix. It's part of their, you know, it's one of these true crime things Netflix does. You'd know the filmmakers from their Fire Festival doc that was so good.

What was that just called? Fire? Oh, yeah, right. Well, there were two of them, but let's assume it was the better one. Yeah, the better one. The one where we find out what it takes to get a case of water delivered to the Fire Festival. I think so.

It was one of those. It was the one on Netflix, and I think that was the better one. The Hulu one was fine, too. It was just like more talk. and less actual footage on the ground. But anyway, they make really, they're good at it. They're good documentarians.

And turns out they made another one that I think is quite good and fascinating. This bad vegan thing is about this lady who in the early 2000s, early to mid, well, almost, I guess 2010, it would have been a dayday for this. But anyway, she was somebody who was planning on going into finance. She had just graduated college and she was super stoked about all this stuff. And then eventually people talked her into doing her passion. which was food. So her and a fellow restauranteer in New York, this is the short version of it,

started a restaurant that is all raw food and specialty wines. And it took off like crazy. Like celebrities loved it. You'd see Alec Baldwin there every day. And there's a big part of Alec Baldwin stuff in this story. He's kind of weird. But anyway, it's all about this restaurant and how it was going and stuff until she met somebody via words with first.

friends. Oh, weird. And this guy... Just don't speak to you of Alec Baldwin. Yeah. And this guy turned out to be a complete and utter psycho. Like, I don't know if I've ever... They have all these, like, phone calls that he didn't know were being recorded of him.

I have never heard anybody quite so manipulative and so abusive in my entire life. Horrible human being. Wow. She got her hookline and sinker into this relationship. It all ended up with her on the run at one point. So she was actually, you know, on the lamb for... fraud that wasn't actually her fault. Her employees all did a big walkout. This is all happening about 2015 or so. She eventually did get arrested. She's in this documentary, basically telling her

end of things. It is fascinating. I didn't expect to like it. It's really good. It was almost nothing to do with veganism, like nothing. Other than she for a while there was like in all the food magazines and all the interviews on daytime television. They were all talking to this lady because she had this raw food idea and was going to take over the world. It was huge in New York and they were going to put restaurants in Japan and England and all these other places. Just a fascinating story about that side of it, but that's all the veganism you're going to get. There's nothing else to that. Fascinating story. Totally recommend it. It's on Netflix. It's an original. It just came out there this year, but I couldn't tell you when a couple months ago, I think. And it's like

six episodes. I'm four in. And so I don't know how things are going to end up, but it's really fascinating and really well made. I always just tell a documentary that has more to say than just dramatic music and bad reenactments. And this is one of those where they go, they're very careful about that stuff and they, you know, they're not just trying to shove something down your throat. Apparently toward the end, there's a phone call that is really earth-shattering that she recorded. That's kind of controversial now because I guess there was some coordination between her and the documentary filmmakers to get the call made. It doesn't doesn't change its impact, I guess, but some people question whether the filmmaker should

have anything to do with anything anyone's doing other than just documenting. Anyway, so I'm anxious to get there and see what the hell's going on. But yeah, check it out. Bad Vegan. Fame, fraud and fugitives. Available on Netflix now. All right, Randy, I've been holding this one since forever. What do you got here for April 6th?

I've got a big red bar in Discord as well. Oh, that's no good. We still hear you. If you're hearing me, it's a TV show that I really like. I hope there's more of it. All right, let's play it and see what we got. Really fills the space, doesn't it? Yeah, it's fine.

Now, where was I? I'm being a pirate captain. Ah, yes. Now, every pirate captain captains pirates differently. Traditionally, piracy is a culture of abuse. floggings, keel haulings and my thought is why?

And also, what if it weren't like that? For example, if your average pirate doesn't steal, he doesn't eat. That's a lot of mental pressure. So, I pay my crew a salary, same wage every week, no matter what.

Of course, it took them a while to come round to the idea. But I've included some amenities on the ship that I think will please them. rec center oh what you good fucking game state of the art on suite non-humans

the ballroom so this is Murray and Hodor go to float in the ocean right that's the hanging out with fake Hitler yes this this is

our flag means death and it is as you heard a comical documentary style. It reminded me initially very, very much of Norseman, only so much better. It's so much better. There's lots of shows out there that try to, that try to, you know, be the office on a space station or the, you know, the office at a park ranger camp in the Grand Canyon.

This is, this is, you know, this is a pirate ship. This is a British lower noble in, in the Caribbean who just decides, eh, I want a, I want a captain a pirate ship, gets a bunch of random people on it. And that's sail for adventure. Nice. And it is, it is really funny. And it's, it's really well crafted. That's the main thing. They, you know, it's, it's not a show that goes by the seat of its pants.

It's got a story to tell. Do you, uh, it feels like Taika Waititi has a plan to get all the genres done. So, you know, he gets in there with his vampires and gets the, what we do in the shadows. And it's amazing. And now he's got this pirate thing. Ninja movie next or Ninja show next. He's got his reservation dogs thing. I, I, I don't really feel like Tyco Waititi's hand is on this.

Oh, really? Really? he's like showrunner creator on this thing. He's, he's, he's, he's main, he's main dude. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Our flag means, um, flag. Yeah, our flag means death. It was created by a guy named David Jenkins. And, uh, Taika Waititi does show up in a, in a guest role. And I, I mean, he may be in the producers list, but I just didn't, I didn't feel like this is just what we do in the shadows or pirates. It is quite a bit

different. It just has a different sensibility. You're right. He's a producer. You're right. Totally right. It's like I say, it's a little challenging. If you don't like this kind of thing a lot,

you're going to freaking hate this because it captures every trope that has been established from Christopher guest all the way to Amy polar. It captures all of that. And it's got a big helping of Monty Python.

But, you know, if you do like that kind of thing, this is as good as it gets. They really know what they're doing. I like everything you just described. So, I'm in. Yeah. Yeah. This is one we're for sure watching. It was just a matter of like when are we sitting down to do it.

Yeah. Yeah. And I love that HBO made this happen because they, you know, the ability of a studio to throw $10 million, you know, at a random, the office our pirates project is crazy that that happens, that that can happen. And I think they, I think they really hit a home round here. That's awesome. I'm totally down to see this. I was supposed to interview. Christian was going to come on and do an interview for some show talking about this, but then I guess this

exploded like after critics got a hold of it and everyone loved it they amped up or tripled the like pressers and like the visit you know doing the interviews and all that stuff so he just went poof there was like no getting them on anything well and let's let's set expectations uh you don't watch this show for christian oh i assume not he's just like a side character you know how you don't watch you don't watch mythic quest for danny poody this is the same thing he is so underused It's, he's, Christian Aaron is barely in this show. And that's fine. It's, it's not, you know, it's not his. I just, yeah, I wish they, I wish they had known how much I want to see more of him. Yeah, sure. He's just a, you know, he's a giant dude who can be your good background giant dude. Makes sense. Yeah. There's, there's some really cool surprises. I don't want to, I don't want to talk about anything past the first scene because all sorts of interesting character development takes place. in the first few episodes.

Nice. All right. Well, it is already on my watch list. We're going to definitely watch this. If you missed any of this stuff, don't worry. Someone will post it somewhere. Randy's on vacation somewhere. He's not doing that.

Yeah, I've got it on, putting it on quicktms. Dot L.I right now. Yep. So go get it there. QuicktmS. Dot L.I. Yeah, that's right. Dot lie.

Doesn't mean it's not true, though. Randy, I hope you're having a great time. I know you'll be, I guess you get home this week, right? End of this week? Yeah, a few days. I just, it has been so, so good. I mean, it every day, every day has just been so good. I'm, I'm melting into the landscape. I'm like today we're about to go, we're about to go get in some kayaks and paddle up the Honolet River, and I may never return. So it was nice snowing. Why would you? You should stay there. It was nice knowing you. Stay there. When I'm there, you can have us over. But other than that, yeah, escape, be done. Live there. It can be so jelly. Yeah, I'm very jelly. All right, man. We'll see you later.

Bye now. Okay. Well, you know, that was great, but you know what's even greater? What's that? That we accomplished yet another show today. We did it. I would like to share a weird email, though, toward the end of the show here. If you'd like to send your own weird emails in, that email address is a simple one,

the morning stream at gmail.com. This is from, I'll just read it as I got it. Yeah, please do. Yes. Hi. It says, hi. My name is two. tooth like teeth okay my name is tooth do you think my name is weird thank you sincerely tooth yes

i i didn't reply next email i don't even know what to say like what what is what is this and who are you and why did you send this and was it just to get me to read it because maybe they that's what they did yeah maybe they were just like oh i know what i'll get scott to do he'll read this for sure if i leave this weird thing about my name being tooth right but you know what it may be weird to us but we'll never ever forget it uh you know we may not be able to always remember a Mike or a Matt or a Joe or a John, but we'll always remember tooth. Red Law in the chat says that person is 10, maybe.

I don't know. I have no idea. I'm sure we have some young listeners who would think it's, you know, this is like your refrigerator running kind of prank call or whatever. Sure, sure. They're just trying to find their way, their workshop and their humor. This is going to be in their tight 10 when they get up on stage in front of the hot lights. Yeah, there you go.

That's exactly right. So anyway, thank you, Tooth, if that is your real name. I hope you grow up and birth a child named Chip. Oh, that'd be great. Little Chip Tooth. Yeah. What was the last name, though, is like, Tooth? Chip, son of tooth.

I hope it's Tooth, letter E for middle name. Tooth E. Grin. Last name, Grin. Oh, there you go. Yeah. So Chip, Chippy Grin. That doesn't work as well. Tooth D.K.

Yeah, Tooth DK is even better. All right. There you go. Send your emails, the morningstream at gmail.com. Support us if you can at patreon.com slash TMS because, man, the lights need to stay on. How do we keep them on? Well, it's through you and your good graces at patreon.com slash TMS. Everything else is at frogpants.com slash TMS.

And now presenting a song from Brian Ibbott. What are we going out on? That's right. You guys all keep the lights on. This light right here, right here in front of me. That makes my hand glow. It's because you guys keep it on. All right, Jeff Wright wrote in and said,

Dear Sprocket and Bicycle, I've been listening to you all for a little over 10 years now. I'm turning 50 on April 6th. Woo! Happy birthday. And I can't think of a better present than y'all playing a song for me on my birthday. If possible, how about a cover of Under Pressure? It's one of my all-time favorite songs. I don't know if either of you or the rest of the folks that are a part of Frog Pants will ever fully know just how much what you do means to your listeners.

You've given us a community we all need. Thank you for that. Love the show, though, and keep doing the Lord's Work, signed Jeff Wright. Nice. I was hoping he would tell us if he's upset about the use of under pressure in the iced tea song, or the, sorry, the vanilla ice song. Oh, the doong, do, do, do, do. He changed it, Scott. You know, Queens goes, dun, dun, dun, dun, but his goes, done, done, done, done. Oh, he added it a done in there.

Yeah, he added a done. Well, then it's fine then. Well done. You know what? I will give him props. Well, de done. Yeah, well, done. I will give him one prop. Okay. The other day, he put up a picture on Instagram where he was in a convenience store and he had. Vanile Ice did? You follow Vanilla Ice on Instagram? Yes. And he's holding two bags of ice that you get at a convenience store. And then next to that is a lady was in there with a baby and a stroller.

So it was literally Ice Ice Baby and him holding them. That's pretty great. That's great. All right. That does get props. Absolutely. Think he redeems his entire career. That's better than anything he released in the 90s.

Better to any song, any album, anything else he ever did. So good job, Van Winkle. Van Winkle. What is this, what is the name something? Van Wien. Yeah, it's really a dumb name, like, cheat the system, Winkle. I don't know what it is. All right, let's get to this cover under pressure.

So, I already love the band Keen. Oh, yeah, King's great. The chief piano player, pianist on that band and songwriter, he's great. They put out some incredible music, and they did a cover of Under Pressure that they released and was really, really good. I almost played that one. But then I said, oh, wait. then they got together, Keen got together, with Rhythms Del Mundo, this band that puts this amazing Latin kind of beat and flavor to everything they do. And now all of a sudden,

we've got, we don't talk about Freddie going on here. This is Rhythms Del Mundo featuring Keen and a cover of Queen and David Bowies under pressure. See you guys tomorrow. Pressure Pressure Pressure pushing down on me pressing down on you It's close

I'm in a pressure The grounds A building down Scits a family in two It puts people on the streets Bavare Bavare D data

That's okay It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends screaming let me out Where tomorrow me higher push around

people people on streets da da da' da' da' Okay chipping around

kick my brains round the floor These are the days It never raised money before People on streets People on streets Ita-de-da-de-da-de-da-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-tits

The terror of knowing what this world is about Watching some good friends screaming Let me out For tomorrow Gets me high, high Because you're wrong people on the streets Turn away from it all Like a blind man

Set on offense But it don't work Keep coming up with love But it's so slashed and tall Oh Oh Love, love, love, love, love Insanity, Love's under pressure we cracking

Can we give ourselves one more chance? Where can we give love, and one more chance? Where can we give love, give love, give love, give love? Because love's a channel fact. Russian word and loved as you to care for the people on the edge of the night and loved as you to change our way of caring about ourselves. This is our last time. This is ourselves.
