It is Monday. And it's me, Scott Johnson and Brian. Hi, Brian. Hey, Scott. How are you? I'm all right. You know, whatever. Weekend.

full of its stuff. You got the Mother's Day business and the whatnot. It was fine. We went to my mother-in-laws and it was weird. I got a weird brother-in-law that's hard to explain and he just sort of sat on his own in a corner and does that sometimes and didn't talk to anybody

and I think waited for people to say something so that he would then have to explain why he's being so quiet. Sure, right. I'm like, I'm not playing this game. I'm going to sit here and eat this bread. Whoever gave me this bread, I'm going to sit here and eat this bread. that's how that's going to go and then with my mom you know we took my mom to dinner on for sorry

Saturday night to celebrate early with her took her and John never doing that again because John is the worst in public oh no what happened he's a he's horrible and he's always like this so I don't know why I always forget but he's so weird with the help so we're in this restaurant's a nice place it's one of my mom picks you wanted to go to And it's me, my sister, Misha, and our spouses, and, of course, John and mom. And we get there and we sit down and we're there for maybe a minute and a half, Brian. Like maybe that long we're there. Uh-huh.

Oh, no. And he grabs some girl who's running around, not even, you know, just not even our server, just somebody who's just busy, grabs her by the yard and goes, where did you get some service in here? And I'm like, John, we've been here a minute and a half. And they're busy. Look at this place. Like, this is how this is. Plus, they're probably shorthand.

because everybody is right now. So what are you doing? And he's like, how did they react? She was like, oh, I'll get your server. She was very nice and everything,

but I felt really bad for her. And then later, the waiter comes and he's taken order and John goes, I'll have the shrimp scampy. And he goes, oh, we're all out of the sauce that you put on that to make it shrimp scampy. But I could do the same noodles,

the shrimp, and then a different sauce if you like. And he goes, like this. And I went, he'll take whatever that other sauce is. I was getting really. You just stepped in.

I got so annoyed. And there was a time later where he's also, oh, the girl's going to, this is later in the meal. It won't matter because it's going to be full of spit anyway. That's what I said. I said, and when they walked away, I said,

hey, Johnny, do you get spit on your food every time you go out? Is that what you do? And then Ken starts laughing. I'm like, I go, I'm telling you, dude. And we were all like mortified by his behavior. So then later, it's like two or three of these events happen.

I try to ignore them. the end of the evening he's got like half his thing left and he says yeah I'd like a box for this okay no problem so the girl comes over and says here let me take that for you I'm gonna go box that up for you and bring it back he goes yeah wait a minute I thought we were putting in a box

and she goes well no no no I am I'm gonna we do that in the kitchen and he goes oh don't eat it and then send her on her way don't eat it I said John telling the server not to eat his food yeah I said really you're telling her not to eat it now maybe he was thinking he was funny but by this time this place did not think he was funny you know and and by the way

we're now overboard on our niceness because any time a waiter would come or a server or fill our water any of that we're like oh thank you thank you so much you got to make up for it yeah so we're totally overcompensating so at the very end of the night Kim Kim ducks out and runs back for some reason

I'm like where'd she go she probably left her glasses or something and she comes back she goes no I just told that guy I was really sorry for his behavior and gave him an extra ten dollar tip. That was the way to do it. Oh, it sucked, Brian. It sucked. It sucked. It does suck. I'm sorry to hear that. That's so rough. So I'm not going with him out for dinner anymore. That's it. We're done. You're 90s, 91 this year. You've had enough dinners with me. We're done. For hell's sakes. Anyway, so that was a thing. That was a lot of fun. But then, okay, here's

another one. All right. Okay. We're at the grocery store. We got to get ice cream sandwich. which is for Kim's family thing. We're in charge of that for some reason. Okay. And we're in the grocery store and we're in the ice cream section. And me and Carter are there. And we're standing by where the freezer is, you know, the aisle there. And we're just kind of looking.

And there's a guy kind of trotting his way down with his cart, empty cart, just a dude in cargo shorts and a really tight t-shirt, far too tight than he should wear. But whatever. Who am I to judge? He's bringing that thing down the aisle and he sees us and he stops. and he just looks at us with this really stern face

and I go oh I'm sorry did you want to did a tumbleweed go by first it's like one of those moments so I go I go oh did you need to like I'm kind of being just like oh I didn't even finish the sentence

I go did you need to you know man I'm kind of gesturing past us and he's not moving or saying or doing anything he's just looking in my eyes and I went okay well I'm going to ignore that then and just he's going to sit there.

So we take our time for a minute out of the corner of my eye. I'm just watching this guy. I'm like, what is this guy doing? He's just standing there looking at us. Still watching you guys. Still watching us. So I grabbed the ice cream and I walked away and he stood there and his head followed us away from the aisle.

And then he proceeded. What the hell was that? Wow. What was that? He wanted that aisle to himself because he was going to, you know, the frozen peas turn him on, basically. He's waiting for, uh, waiting for clear aisle. The only thing I could think of was maybe I got, maybe we got in front of where he wanted to go. Yeah, but you guys still, like, you wouldn't take up the entire width of the aisle.

You left room for him to get around you. Oh, absolutely. There was nobody else in the aisle anyway. So if we, he could have gone around the back of us. And if he was looking to go into that same door, I gave him the opportunity. It was like, oh, excuse me, sorry. And then no response, like nothing. Yeah.

That's the part where he really lost me is when he just didn't say anything. He just stone-faced me. So what the frick, dude? A lot of people in the chat room were saying that maybe he was a Starstruck fan. It was like, oh, my God, it's Scott and Family. I don't know what to say. I'm going to almost guarantee you that wasn't it. I'm more, the way he was looking at you.

Yeah, just those face he was making, unless he has resting rage face or something, which I've never heard of. But he looked really pissed. And the only other explanation I have is, A, either we got right in his way and it annoyed him. And he was just, like, going to be a pisser about it. It didn't matter what we said. or he was like maybe he just didn't want to maybe he's still like COVID shy and didn't want to be around anybody or something I don't know I don't know but he didn't have a mask on so I'd think he'd have that on if he was feeling that way so freaking I don't know dude that guy hey guy

in the Harmon's location off bangor I we salute you with a big thumbs up good job if you are a listener please speak up but yeah yes if you are a listener and you want to this up. I have no problem. Call me. But my gosh, right now, I almost registered a complaint. I should have it. There, you get a short one, a quarter of a complaint. Half a complaint. The bigger complaint was taking John to a restaurant. So did you do any, you know, mom stuff? What'd you do? Yeah, we took Tina, well, we, Tina, I took Tina to Mexican food restaurants Saturday night. Same thing, right? Because, you know, trying to get a reservation on Sunday and places are going to be over, overfilled and understaffed and it's just going to be difficult. So, we

We went and got Mexican food on Saturday because she's basically like her favorite kinds of foods, Mexican Italian. Oh, yeah. Mine, probably sushi and Mexican, like in that order. Then you come together on Mexican. We come together on Mexican, exactly. That's great. But we went to a place that used to be or is by where we used to live, by our old house before we moved into where we're at now. And back then it was called La Estreita, which is Little Star, the Little Star.

and now it's corona it took over um they got bought by another company not corona beer but just it just is now hitting me okay maybe this might explain something um but it's a uh uh took got new warners they completely redid the inside

about seven years ago and um uh changed a few of the menu items changed a little bit of the food kept a lot of the same servers and wait stuff but we get in there and we come into the parking lot and look around there's four cars here and it's a Saturday night this is like prime dinner time in Arvada I'm not sure what's going on so we go in oh yeah table for two yep absolutely take us to a table we're in a room with about 20 tables four of which are filled weird like okay uh they come over ask what we want to drink

we give them our drink order they bring some chips and salsa immediately pull out my phone and pull yelp and say, all right, let's see, Corona, blah, blah, blah. Okay, yeah, mid-grade, a lot of ones in the last year. And I looked and see why it's like, service was terrible. We, you know, sat around for, maybe John left one of these. We sat around

forever before our server finally came and asked what we wanted and da-da-da-da. Then one person came late, I had to make my own tacos. And I'm pretty sure they just, or the fajitas and they didn't realize it. Yeah, that isn't, the yeah, that person didn't make their own tacos they think they did but they didn't they think they did exactly now it just dawned on me as

i was saying the name maybe people stayed away from this restaurant because it's called corona for the last couple of years did they change it right before the the thing they changed it only like seven years ago so it was uh it had been a corona restaurant you know for uh since 2015 or something i'd be very curious about that if that like actually affected their door traffic really funny yeah yeah or sad actually i guess yeah either way Hmm. Well, how was it? Was it all right? The food was great. Yeah, I did a, I had a guacamole toastata and a chiliriano. Tina had something similar, but the food was really good. They, you know, if the Yelp scores scared these people, they kept coming by and making sure that we were well taken care of and all that stuff. So, uh, well, see, and this is great. Now you've got a place that's super conscientious, but no one knows about it yet. So anytime you go there. Maybe we can, exactly. Maybe we can take advantage of that. Yeah. And then yesterday was going out and visiting my mom. We installed an air conditioning unit or a, you know, like a, not really a swamp cooler,

but it's one of those that you plug in, mounts it in a window, you screw it into the sides. Like the one, the Kramer dropped off into the, it fell off and hit that lady. Yeah, not quite that big, but yes, exactly. And then we went to Tina's mom's house and we spread mulch. So it's really like it was, go visit the moms, do one chore for each of them, and then leave. Weird. That is kind of weird, isn't it? It is, yeah, exactly.

I mean, you probably didn't plan that or you didn't know that was going to happen, but look at you. No, we didn't know. My mom texted me earlier that morning. Could you help me install my AC? That's not how she talks or anything, but so like, oh, yeah, no problem because I basically, you know, at one point, one of my trips over there every summer and every fall is going to be to either install it or take it down. And so I kind of was ready for this. But spreading the mulch, no idea that was coming, but Tina's mom bought like eight bags. emulch and we had to we this was like total video game brine like okay well rather than cut the bags up

here let's put the bags you know spread the put the bags in the places where they're gonna need to cover sure so we can make sure that they're kind of equidistant and then Tina can go around cut them and I'll walk behind her and just hork up each bag so it dumps its mulch all over the place and then Connie can come by with the rake and spread it around it's a good idea it sounds like it would work yeah it was efficient so we could get out of there quicker well that's good you didn't have to deal on any big get-togethers or anything no no none whatsoever yeah it was all little small groups mine was fine it's mostly you know what i end up doing i end up going to these things all the adults they want to talk yeah i don't want to talk to them you hang out with the kids

don't you hang out with the kids i talked to yeah owen who's 17 and stoked about his new scooter and also he's rebuilding an engine for something and love love talking to that kid no the other kid um uh Oscar, he's starting to stream Minecraft on Twitch and he's super nervous about it and I'm stoked for him so I'm telling him all these ideas He can try. Yeah, it's so much better, dude Adults are boring. They're boring. They're all

like, well, our company recently had a PR It's like, geez, okay, all right, I don't want to hear about any of this. We just restructured. Yeah, we did some restructuring. I've got a new middle management position. It's like, okay, great, I don't want to talk about it, though. I'd rather talk to this kid about a scooter, for real.

Because kids are cool, man. Kids are cool. I'm with you. Anyway, I got an email to read this morning because that's just the mood we're in. Yeah. It's like hearing from our listeners. Yeah, it's from somebody named Torgash, which sounds like Torgast from Wow. Yeah, it sounds like an accident, you know? Yeah, like I'm hearing it now and it's like, oh, yeah, that sounds painful.

You'll need an apisotomy for this Torgash. Exactly. Anyway, it says, Hello, Scott, and Borean, or Bo Ryan. I can't tell if it's a typo, or if they did that on purpose. I mean, the O is, the O is right next to the I, but he put the O before the R. I don't know. Maybe Borean Tundra.

Maybe that's where it could be Boreen and the Torgash thing, and maybe it's a wow thing. Who knows? He says, Torgash here. You guys talked about MC movies a lot. I had a question. If yous If you My rapper nickname is

MC movies a lot Oh yeah MC movies a lot There you go Yeah I'd go to one of your shows He says If yous were stuck On an

Island This is how he's spelling These name So maybe he did misspell your name I don't know Yeah maybe Now it's starting to become a little more clear Yeah

It's if you were stuck On an island For the rest of your life And could only take One MCU movie With you to play there, which would it be? Torgash with an uppercase

O for some reason. I think maybe he just doesn't check his emails before he could send. I think so. I think it was just a quick dash off an email, hit send, boom. Yeah, maybe you see it. Torgash ain't got time for your honor to correct. He ain't got time to fix those red squiggly lines or anything. He ain't got no time for that, he says. Exactly.

So do you want to answer this? I couldn't think of a good answer. What do you take? What's the only one? I probably would take end game because I feel like you get the most bang for your buck with endgame. Like, I still count Infinity War and Endgame as one movie because it's a part one, part two, and you really don't have one without the other. However, I will concede that I can't take both of those with me to this deserted island.

If they put out a 4K Blu-ray combo double feature thing on one disc, then I think you could change it. But I agree. So now I've got to take a Blu-ray, a 4K Blu-ray player and some sort of TV. I was thinking I would just get like this on a like an iPad that only had one movie on it, no games and no Wi-Fi. Well, in that case, what if the two files were stitched together, then it

counts as one. Yeah, perfect. All right. So you just, okay, so I, you know what? That's probably the best answer. I can't. There's no, there's not one to beat that. That's the most like, bring everybody together that we love. Let's do a big huge thing that we're all doing. Let's make a, every character gets a big chunk of cool screen

time. You know, in Infinity War, Thor is a badass. In end game, he's kind of a piece of shit. It's true, yeah. What else are you going to ask for? I think that's good. Exactly. But it's got everybody you love. Everybody you love in that movie. Chatroom makes a point. If you can stitch those two together, why wouldn't you stitch all MCU movies together? You have 29 movies all stitch together. How would that? Oh, well, yeah, that's true. Like, if we're bending the rules on stitching two movies together, why have all 29?

Oh, the rule would be you can stitch them together, but like an eight track, you can only fast forward. and you can't rewind. You have to go all the way to the end of the... Oh, I have to watch them. I can't like say, oh, I feel like I'm in the mood for Civil War.

I don't have to... You have to scrub for it like you put on like a VHS tape. Oh, God. Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare. It's like, oh, I'm an Iron Man too. I'm looking for freaking guardians. Where is this thing?

Right. Oh, now you've got to watch Thor, Dark World... Oh. What do you mean? Why does Scott hate Owen Wilson? I'm going to watch Loki. Calm down. It's happening.

All right. sooner than you think. And I'm just going to say this, prior to watching or probably to going and seeing Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, you probably, I wouldn't say Loki is required beforehand. And you've already seen Wanda Vision, of course, and what if. Those are probably the most important ones to see. Oh, Captain Marvel might be good to see before you see. Oh, really? yeah that one i definitely have not seen yeah i would say and without giving anything away yeah

that might be a good one to see you had such a hesitation there that i thought some i know i was just trying to word it carefully big knowledge bomb was about to fall out of you that's right i was excited for that all right well guess what our old pal brian dunaway joins us as he does every Monday and Wednesday, at least the days we're here, and plays a little game with us. Hi, Brian. Welcome to the show. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian.

Hey, man. Oh, hi, Brian. Hey, man. How are you guys doing? You know, not as good as you. Listen to you. You sound all hypered up and ready to rock. What's going on in your head?

It's Monday. Yeah. All new week. Yeah. All new mistakes. A fresh, exactly. A new week to get a fresh start on all those mistakes you know you're going to make. Check back on Wednesday.

We'll see how it's going. Yeah. kidding. Actually, I was going to ask you a question. So we're on Play Retro tomorrow. We're doing Dragonslayer and pretty much all the kind of quick time. Yes. Full motion videos.

Yeah, Space Ace. All that stuff. And you, I know you were streaming Dragons Layer. Did you actually get to the princess and get her out of her ball and all that? Or what? Are you kidding me? Of course not. I'm no good at Dragons Layer, but I did have a lot of fun.

Well, I wouldn't say how to lot of fun. I had some fun. I have a crush on that girl that you have to save. Well, of course you do is Tiffany. She's modeled after Marilyn Monroe and random memories of blonde bombshells. According to the trivia. Ralph Bakshi knew how to draw characters you wanted to be with. You mean Don Bluth?

You're thinking about something else. I'm sorry, Don Bluth. I'm sorry, Don Bluth. I'm sorry, Don Bluth. Not Ralph Baxie. He knew how to do. He did it, too. Yeah. They all did it. We watched heavy metal this past weekend for film sec. Yeah.

You want to get it. Yeah, but that didn't have, that didn't have Ralph Baxter. Oh, no, no, I had no backshed. It did not, but we were going down the list of, uh, of 70s animators that drew sexy ladies. Yeah, that was a common thing back then. And boy, if you want more nipples for your dollar, watch, uh, metal, or heavy metal. Yeah. There were many nipples.

Um, watch, watch a bunch of, uh, see, a bunch of, uh, see, a bunch of, uh, Nipples drawn by people who've never seen Nipples before. It sure felt like it. Like a flower shaped. It was unique. Yeah. Unique is one way of yours.

Which made me ask a question. It's like, have I seen all the boobies? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. I thought I had seen all the varieties. But, you know, I've certainly seen my man nipples enough. Sure.

Yours are like a little eraser tips. They're great. Oh, you think that? Is that what you think? Like a nub at the end of a paper. mate like those extendable ones you get on the mechanical pencils you got to pull those out a little bit anyway that's disgusting let's move on hey brian oh my uh why don't we play a game here this is the morning half ass is always a fun time but i don't know how it works until you tell us so tell us well i'll tell you

welcome to the morning half asses as you just said a trivia game where i'm actually going to be giving you guys the answers i'm going to be giving scott and brian a category and six possible answers three of which are correct and three that are incorrect depending on how confident you two feel with your category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if you get any of those guesses wrong, you get zero points for that round. If you guess one, you get it right, you get a point, guess two and get them right, gets three points, and if you guess all three, correct answers, and get them right, you get five points. The player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant

and employing contestants for members of the Tadpool that aren't able to listen live. I'm sure, as confused as Claire gets with us, she's even more confused standing in the shower. Scott, you're going to be playing for Jeff in Richmond. And Brian, you're going to be playing for Craig in Rock Hill, South Carolina. How far are you from Rock Hill? I'm about a couple hours. It's not too far. Too far?

Yeah, I know Craig. Yeah, I mean, Craig are tight. Oh, well, then if you know him, do you call him Craig or Craig? Which way do you do it? Yeah, Craig. Craig. You hear what I said. Craig.

Craig. Yeah, you're trying too hard. You just, you say it as fast as possible. I just say Craig, Craig, Craig, Craig. And you guys say Craig. That's what I said. What are you saying? You say Craig.

Craig. I say Craig. No, I said Craig. Oh. this is an extension of a longer conversation we've had for weeks and we're still trying to figure out the Craig Craig thing but anyway it's all good uh well excellent i like Virginia let's do this oh yeah and this week we're giving away goner and overgrowth to the winner on stage oh those are both excellent games those two games which goner is great both of those go overgrowth and goner to my favorites of recent years they're very good yeah Bindy. The RONARP is going to get System Shock Enhanced Edition.

Oh, what's enhanced about it? A bigger ween-weener. Yeah, exactly. It's the den to put in heavy... I think of penises. There you go. Brian didn't really say that in real time. Anyway, okay.

These are all very good prizes. They're all going to be winners today. Let's go here. First question for both of you and six possible answers. places that have been wrapped in fabric by the artist Christo. You remember Christo, big in the 80s and 90s for wrapping things in fabric? I don't remember this at all. I thought you were talking about what my grandma used for making biscuits.

Oh, Chris. I'm with you. I don't remember this guy at all. Wrap things in plastic? Oh, really? He wrapped things not in plastic in fabric. Oh, I don't have any recollection of this. All right.

Well, here's your choices. Maybe you can guess you. the island stuff like he would like that thing is the most famous one where he like he like wrapped a whole big island in plastic or something you might be thinking of the guy I'm giving away the tips am I giving away the tips you might be uh your choices are the Sydney Opera House in Australia Golden Gate Park in San Francisco Port Newf Bridge in Paris the Meiji Shrine in Japan Biscayne Bay Islands in Miami and the Reichstag in Berlin are you uh and as usual three of these are correct yeah three of these are

correct three of these are lies. This is not three quarters asses, Scott. Yeah, that's a good point. Well, I'm, I don't know. I think you should throw it one day, make it a three quarters asses. That'd be fun. I'm going to say, no.

Four of the answers are right. I'm locking into some of these, I'm like, there's no way they'd be allowed to do this. You know? Right, right. Well, you guys both said the Biscayne Bay Islands in Miami, and that is correct, Brian

I'm trying to help you out with that one. My bad. However, the other ones you said, the Sydney Opera House, the Golden Gate Park, and the Meiji Shrine are three incorrect answers. He actually did rep the Reichstag and

the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris. I should have thought of those. Did they know he was going to do it? Oh, yeah. I'm sure he, I can't imagine he doesn't clear this with people before he does it. Like I said, I only know about the island thing as I've seen pictures and stuff.

I remember seeing that. This dude get all the, where do you get all the fabric? What's that? Joanne. Just Joanne. She's married to Joanne. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Are you going to use all that fabric to make your moo-moo?

Hey, Joanne, honey. I'd like some fabric. All right. Excellent. All right. So, it's all right. It was a good warm up for you guys. Let's go to us.

So is that floating in the ocean somewhere right now, I wonder? Oh, no. I mean, he cleans it up. He, you know, he takes the fabric off of it. Yeah. Oh, you're a crystal apologist. I got you. Okay.

Yeah. Yes, he's dead now? Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, he is dead? That's too bad. Did they wrap him in fabric? I hope so. I hope they wrapped him in fabric and buried him.

Yeah, okay. It'd be great. All right. Question number two, jobs before they were president. So I'm going to tell you a president and a job. And you're going to tell me if that was the actual job they had before they were president. Gerald Ford, male model. Abraham Lincoln, bartender.

Thomas Jefferson, veterinarian. Oh, it even rhymes even. James Garfield church organist. Alvin Coolidge, Metra salesman, and Grover Cleveland Executioner. Oh, I like all these answers. Oh, but they all seem so believable. I really, we have a lot of presidential questions. I really need to get out my presidential books and start studying them for a while.

You got some presidential books? Yeah, yeah, I got some books on the president's because it seems like it always comes in trivia. There's always some trivia question. It really does come up a lot here. I don't know why, but it really does. It's not just here. It's everywhere in trivia stuff. It's always like, yeah, this.

president. I'm like, I don't know. I was asleep. I'm going to guess two of these. Hold on. I'm guessing two as well then. Yeah, I'm locking those in. I don't think I'm locking them in. All right, you guys are both locked in. Gerald Ford, male model is correct.

Grover Cleveland, executioner is correct. However, the other two, you guys said, James Garfield Church Organist and Thomas Jefferson Veterinarian are not correct. Damn it. Lincoln really was a bartender. yeah the Gerald Ford one I should have gone for Gerald Ford because he's of course that's it's too weird to not be true that I should have right oh plus he's if you've ever seen any pictures of him young he's a freaking Fox really he's hot yeah oh okay he's such a goo ball when he's I love that old Ford model Gerald Ford Young I got to see this real fast hold on Gerald he's a handsome oh yeah look at him Mr. Football guy and cool hair he's a hubba hubba man Wow. All right. I'm a little surprised by him.

A little blown away by that. All right. Next one. Okay. Wow. We got zero points going into question three. So I hope one of you scores a point on this one. Here's your choices. Or here's your clue. What happens? We haven't failed in a tie on this before, have we? We haven't, but I'll just take one more game and make it two and two games for each of our players. They'll get it. Okay.

All right. Works by Mark Twain. So these are books by Mark Twain or works by Marks Twain. Your choices are Tom Sawyer, Detective, Huckleberry Finn, all grown up, Top Frog, the Brave Tin Soldier, the Prince and the Popper, and a tramp abroad. A tram abroad. I like that idea. Shit. I like that idea.

Well, I love the idea, but I don't have confidence in any. of this, so I'm just going to choose. I don't either. I'm going to go with those two, and I'm probably screwing myself, and Craig, Craig, Craig. All right. Craig, Craig, Craig. You guys have locked in on the Brave Ten Soldier, Huckleberry Finn, all grown up, and Hop Frog, all three of which are not.

Oh, my God. What works by Mark Twain? The three didn't choose. Tom Sawyer, Detective, the Prince of the Popper. He did the prisoner of pauper. No idea. The Tramp Abroad. Bravedon Soldier was Hans Christian Anderson, and Hop Frog was Edgar Allan Poe.

I do remember this Tom Sawyer detective. That seemed like such clickbait. I didn't believe it, but now I, yeah. I still don't believe it. That's crazy. I remember a tramp broad, though. They've never seen heard of that. Hob frog sounded like something he would have done.

It just sounded hop, or sounded Twainty to me. It does. My no buck is called hop frog. You know what? Let's do this. Let's do a little tiebreaker. All right. tiebreaker

tiebreaker question this is a closest to the pin not price is right rules so if you do go over that's fine as well right first person

well here's what we'll do Scott you'll give a guess and Brian will take the over under on it all right okay okay okay in minutes

how long can an emperor penguin stay underwater oh geez spoiler not hours 30 minutes. 30 minutes, all right. 30 minutes is incorrect.

Brian is the actual answer higher or lower than 30 minutes. I'm going higher. Higher than 30 minutes is incorrect. An emperor penguin can stay underwater for 22 minutes. You were very close, Scott. So Scott wins. Yeah. And that means that are...

I think if the emperor penguin tried a little harder, he could make it more than a very much. Probably good, yeah. Yeah, exactly. He could work it out. You can sure stand and sit on an egg for a long time. Why can't he swim longer? That's right. Exactly.

So, congratulations. Jeff in Richmond, you are getting Goner and overgrowth. But Craig, you are getting System Shock Enhanced Edition. Nothing wrong with that. It's just a remastered and enhanced. I don't know what it means. It probably means it's 4K and, you know, up to graphics. Yeah.

It's probably enhanced. It's one of the greatest games I've ever made, so you're still. getting one of the best games ever. So you're good. Well done, Jeff and Craig and Craig, Craig, whichever way you'd prefer it. You're both winners, so we've got to play this. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. One of you just won slightly more than the other one. That's all. That's how we

look at this. Everyone gets a trophy here at the TMS Party Town. I'm looking at the System Shock enhanced. I'm thinking that's pretty hot. Yeah, that's a good game. Did you ever play System Shock? You should. Fort Hot. Look at that. System Shock is the granddad, I would say of, I don't know, maybe Half-Life 1 counts as well, but like this weird,

like Bioshock is the sort of a direct descendant of this stuff. So if you like that, you'll love System Shock. System Shock's awesome. And they're doing a new one soon. It's not this year, though. Some Shocker. It says, no. System shockiest. I don't know what it is. It's a new one. We play that game with three fingers. Anyway. Oh, geez. So there you have it. A, Brian Dunaway, tomorrow night, afternoon, that is. We do our play retro show live at 3.30 Mountain Time here on the Frog Pants Network, frogpans. TV. And like you said before, we're doing all that FMV real time action things that we used to do back in the day.

You pay 50 cents to play Dragon's Lair or Spaceers. That was more than the other video games at the time. It was expensive as they made a joke to in the strange things. The shortest damn game you could play too, right? Because it's like you, you know, it's like if you missed on that first stupid horse on the chess board or whatever it was. Yeah. Well, you had three. You usually had three lives, but it was like they would go.

It just went so quick. They would go so quick if you didn't know what the frick you were doing. Yeah, exactly. It was a dip switching there for three to five lives. And when I played it this past week, I flipped that puppy to five lives because I wasn't doing well. And yes, it's all quick time events. You got to, and you got to be fast on it. And, but the most entertaining part of Dragonslayer is watching Dirk die.

Yeah. Oh, amazing deaths. Yeah. Are the reward for not to get to play any longer. I feel like when he, uh, he like it turns into a skeleton and then his bones slowly. Yeah. It's great. Yeah.

Don't drink the potion. Spoiler. Don't drink the potion. Don't drink the potion ever. Oh, my Lord. Don't drink that potion. You're screwed. You'll turn green, then fall apart.

It's very good. So we're going to talk about that and all the other games kind of like it from that. era tomorrow on Play Retro, a show all about retro gaming. Hey, Brian, kiss our butts and go. No, you, you, no, you, okay, there we go. You kiss our butts. No, and you, why don't you tell me which butt you'd like to kiss? Okay.

We're going to go ahead and dive into a little bit of news coverage today. It's our duty as journalists here to make sure we cover the news a little bit. So here we go. I don't watch the news. Today's news is brought to you by Sean Castor and the Chief. Seat Reviews Podcast. Find it where you get your podcasts. Get more information at facebook.com slash cheap seat reviews. Very nice. All right. A drone carrying a bag of handguns. I'll do all the fully work for this one. All right. This is great. From the United States.

Give me a little. Oh, I want a cheeseburger. I'm hungry. I need some tunkies. You went with a diet. That's good. That's good. Because we already already did the gun sound effect Yeah, no, you're right, we're all You gotta go to the next thing And then it was sent by Or no, two Canada is where these guns were going

Give us a little Canada Yeah, that's good It was on its way to Canada And it was intercepted by a tree So that's a, that's a I got no sound effects for trees, sorry Oh man, all right, well that's all right Ontario Provincial Police

Which is such a fruit ball way of saying here The OPP, are you down with the OPP? No, You know me, I guess. Anyway, they're trying to figure out who sent a shopping bag full of handguns across the Canadian U.S. border via drone and who was supposed to receive the illegal package. Police officers are contacted on Friday by a large truck,

sorry, about a large drone stuck. I'm reading truck and stuck for some reason. In a tree along the St. Clair River Port near Lambton, a small village on the Canadian side of the river, about 40 kilometers south of Serena, Ontario. Anyway, when the OPP arrived to investigate, they found more than just a drone attached to it. It was a plastic shopping bag,

and inside were 11 handguns, which investigators believe were coming from the United States. Anyway, they had to get some help to get it down. They did. They still don't know who it was going to or why it was going there. There's a picture here. Oh, really? A drone stuck in a tree with a...

I think it's just the guns out of the tree. Like post retrieval. Oh, my God. Look at that. Wow. But it really is just like a shit Walmart bag. Paper, plastic shopping bag. Plastic.

It must have been like a short, oh, there's the drone. Okay. They must have meant it to be really short trip, you know, like just get it over the border and somebody snagged a tree and boom, all the guns are gone. Jeez. That's what happens. Sorry about your guns. Sorry about that.

We'll get you some more. We'll get you more guns. It's okay. Garth Brooks in the news. I don't know. Yeah. You know him? He's the singing cowboy man.

I had a head like a honey-baked ham. Yeah, big old head. I've actually seen Garth Brooks in concert, believe it or not. Oh, my Lord. What brought? Well, it was part of a benefit gala for the medical company that my mom worked for, that she did credentialing for. And so she's like, you want to come and be my plus one?

I'm like, oh, yeah, sure. And sure enough, it was Garth Brooks playing a concert for these people. And it was great. He did his whole, like he did the show that he did on the strip for a while, which is all covers of songs that he grew up on. Oh, I didn't know. He was, I had no idea he'd done that. Or that even had a residency in Vegas.

That's news to me. Yeah, it was a short time residency in Vegas, I think at the Venetian, if I remember correctly. But, and it was just basically like, it was all rock songs. It wasn't maybe a few, a couple country songs. But, yeah, he'd, he'd, you. Like, hey, here's a Leonard Skinner that inspired me and blah, blah, and did all those songs. That's cool.

Yeah. And then in the, in the encores, he did all of his hits. Him and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, seem like legitimately nice people. They do. From what I can tell. They seem like they're legit. They do a lot of charity work. They're, they're, you know, but whatever the opposite of Chris Rock is, not Chris Rock.

Who's the rock kid sings? I want to be your, no, no. Oh, Kid. Kid Rock, geez. Yes. He's the odd, whatever the polar opposite of Kid Rock is, that's, that's, you know, that's a very good, I like that analogy. It's a very good comparison. Phil's right to me.

My wife really likes his wife because she cooks and does a show on, um, cook, uh, the cook, or the food network and she'll live. Really? Yeah, yeah, her show. And once in a while, he'll come on there or their kids and they'll eat whatever she makes. Isn't there a kid named something rock? Yeah. I could not think of it. It was just not going to come out, man.

Word constipation. Love it. All right. Oh, well, here's a deal. His concert, recent concerts, so thunderous, so loud. Thunder Road. That it registered as an earthquake in Louisiana. Whoa.

Wow. Really? Just east of the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge, which is red stick, I believe. That's correct. Yep. nestled in the Louisiana State University campus, country star Garth Brooks performed a local fan-favor song at a jam-packed Tiger Stadium.

The crowd's furor was so strong. It registered as a small earthquake, according to the university seismograph. Wow. Yeah, but they don't tell us what the Richter scale for the Garth Brooks concert was. They don't give us the number. Isn't that dumb?

They should give us the number. That stadium holds 102,000 people, and they was packed, I guess. So it was enough that if you were anywhere in the surrounding you felt it miles you would have absolutely heard

and felt this I hear he causes tremors in low places yeah way down if you know what I mean you know what I'm getting at well Garth Brooks good luck to you

and may all your concerts register on the Richter scale no right the Richter scale seismic graph wait Richter scale same same thing I mean the seismicraph

is the needle thing that but it's but what's the Richter scale measuring it is measuring on the Richter scale The Richter scale is how you measure earthquakes. But the seismograph is the device which gives you the scale.

Yeah, I think the seismograph would tell you where it landed on the Richter scale. Got it, my guess. That makes sense now. That's also, just for the record, that's a huge stadium for university. That's enormous. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah. That's bigger.

Isn't that big? Well, it's the LSU Tigers. Yeah, but isn't that bigger than like the Saints, what's that called? What's it called? What's it called where the Saints play? Where the Saints come rolling in. Where they come marching in, I don't know. Shit, the Superdome, Superdome, whatever it is.

No, that's... Is it Superdome? Yeah, Superdome. Is it the Superdome? Okay. Oh, there's more people than that there? Okay. Maybe I'm, I may be just completely misgaging how big these things are.

You know what, though? It is big. So, you list of U.S. stadiums by capacity. Number one is Michigan Stadium. Like, all of these are... This kind of surprises me because a lot of these first several are, NCAA as opposed to NFL. Michigan Stadium, 107,000, Beaver Stadium in Pennsylvania, 106,000.

But we don't get to, oh, there it is, Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, Louisiana has a capacity of 102,321. Yeah, that's a lot. That is a lot. So there you go, right over, just over 102,000 people. The first, the largest stadium for the NFL is MetLife, which only holds 8,000. 82,000. So I guess you've got to have, and that's way down number 15. All the rest before that are NCAA college football stadium. So I guess you've got to have more room for your college. Well, now the colleges are a purely profit business, base business.

It makes sense. Get as many seats filled with people paying your money as possible. That makes sense for sure. Yeah. That's interesting. Never would have guessed that. Yeah, I also thought the Cowboy Stadium held like 100K plus chat. God, I thought so too. Yeah, let's see. That is Arlington, Texas. That's the AT&T Stadium only holds 80,000. It's number 22 on the list.

That's so weird. Yeah. Lambo Field in Green Bay, 81,000, FedEx Field, 82,000. It's still so many people. Empower, which is the one here a mile high, 76,000. Well, the more expensive the ticket, the smaller seating you can have, see. So you can have people spend in three. grand on a seat and uh you know that's how you make money yeah yeah makes sense that's that is

crazy i'd man if you would have told me to rank stadiums i would have i would have put all NFL team NFL stadiums way higher than any college football yeah wouldn't you why wouldn't you because it doesn't yeah i mean i know there are a lot of students and fandom and all that i don't know that's really does surprise me that that's crazy uh well anyway he thunder roaded himself right under the record books there so well done Garth books Thunder Road was Springsteen Thunder Rolls

Oh rolls Yeah thunder rolls And the Thunder rolls And then he played actually There was actual like Thunder Foley in the song Wasn't there? Oh yeah I guess there was

At the very beginning Yeah Yeah which always annoyed me For some reason I don't know why It just felt like he was trying To get me excited about something Right exactly yes It's just a guy shaking a piece of aluminum

Oh I would love it It was just him doing that That'd be great That'd be great. All right. Let's move on to this story. A Texas man. We talked about grass last week and how Vegas and Nevada on the hole is banning grass.

It's starting to ban it. Yeah. You can't have grass anymore. And by the way, I just want to add this side note to the grass banning thing. Yeah. I am all for this everywhere. Oh, banning grass? Really?

And here's why. Grass, when it became a thing, like residential guy has grass in his yard. Yeah. that happened because this was a way for people to show off how much land they had compared to their neighbors because they put grass in a place where there's nothing else and that's that was like you strutting around showing your stuff like oh i have a whole acre of grass what do you have oh i only have a quarter acre of grass but that's more than this guy who's only got five feet of grass like it was all just this like e-peen everybody swinging their wieners around with their grass so if that's why we started this let's just go zero escape everything who gives a shit It's a pain to work on. I don't like mowing it. Like, just get rid of grass.

It's dumb. I partially agree with you, right? Because of the upkeep and the work it takes. But I feel like if you were to put, all right, the Zeriscaping would be preferable over like a fake, like a... Like a turf. It's AstroTurf kind of thing.

Because with dogs, the last thing you want to do is like be fishing poop out from around these plastic. Like, if they have some really bad poop, you just got to hose that thing down. Yeah, no kidding. I didn't think of that. You don't want that. No, I'm with you there. Zero escape would be the way to go.

Yeah. But you still want to have dogs like, you know, lay. My dog would not go lay in the astroturf. No, that's true. Much rather lay in grass. That's true. We'd be forced to go to parks and stuff where you would still have grass. But here's the other thing it would do.

It would overnight. Like, if you could do this overnight, it would overnight solve anybody's drought issues. We'd be done. because we would now have a surplus of potable water to the tune of trillions of gallons or something, maybe billions. So I think you could really make a dent there. But it ain't going to happen.

There's too many people are like, oh, I've got to go out and primp my properly primped, primpness. What do we do with golf courses? They still can have whatever they got. See, that's what I'm saying. You can still have these like big central public spaces. I would actually say let's get, let's replace the grass in,

golf courses with AstroTurf and keep our lawns, because that has to use up a ton of water because they've got to really do the upkeep on those. Oh, yeah, you're right. I think turf would be fine there, right? That'd be totally fun. Yeah, I think so. It'd be totally fun. I really like a good zero-scaping, somebody who really, you know, I think you can get

just as fancy as my point. Like people that go nuts over their yard right now, they can go just as crazy over a nice zero-scape setup. I would do that. Kim and I are talking about it. I think it's zero with an eye, I don't know. I always thought it was zero. It's not zero?

I thought it was X, or is it X-E-R-I-scaping? Scott's going to learn something today. I think, or I'm going to. Scaping. Yeah, X-E-R-I-Scaping. You are correct. Look at that. I've never known this.

Like, Z-E-Scaping. Yeah, X-R-E-Scaping. And you've learned a new word that you can use in Scrabble. I really didn't know that was a thing. and I can use that in Scrabble Wee Probably never happened But you know, you never

You might get lucky Yeah you might You'll have to build off Somebody else's word I don't know where I don't know what you would Have to do right Because

Yeah What would you do? Yeah escaping is not a word I don't know Yeah All right This is the word

That you probably You'd ever gonna be able To do in Scrabble You could do escape But escape has an E So that wouldn't work Yeah Oh yeah

There we go Oh yeah But that's still not a word Scape escape isn't oh escape by itself's not aware Scott did a escape room oh I got to tell everybody

how much I love this thing I got on PM or whenever we talked about it I bought that um a light was on sale for 11 bucks it's called uh oh shit escape simulator that's what's called right and it's it's great it's so good it's

it's really literally they put you in a room it's an escape room game but what's cool is constantly B.R. I meant to ask you when you text. Not VR. Well, as far as I know it's not, I think it's just straight, whatever, but it's on Mac and PC. And you go into a room

right now, I'm in these Egyptian-themed rooms. And it's legitimately, like, challenging, and you can do it with multiplayer, so you don't, it's not just you. If you want, you can have, like, you know, four of you in there doing it. But you can do it solo as well. And it's super challenging, really satisfying when you figure stuff out. There's clues everywhere.

Lots of stuff to grab. They even have a hint system, kind of like your phone call to the lady deal. Yep. That is very limited, so you don't want to use it all the time. It's real good. Totally impressed with it. And people are making all kinds of scenarios and putting them up there. So there's like a huge community around it.

And it's rad. You'd love it, right. Awesome. Yeah, I totally would love it. I remember you texting me about it and I meant to reply back and say, what's it on? So it's Steam or you just get it? Yeah, Steam, back in Windows on Steam. All right.

By the way, people have found out that Zeroscaping was coined by a Colorado Water Company. Oh, really? The phrase was, yeah. Colorado Connection. Colorado Connection. Fantastic. All right, let's move on to this story here. Okay.

Oh, I forgot to finish the story. So a Texas man cut his grass. Wait, we get up on a tangent there. Yeah, I didn't mean to, I meant to talk about his grass first. But anyway, a Texas man cuts grass before stealing his lawnmower, not his lawnmower, somebody else's. So a Texas man apparently mowed the front and backyard of a home in Port Arthur before stealing said lawnmower. So he went there to steal the lawnmower, a riding mower, and decided to go ahead and do their lawn before he took it. Which I don't know what I think about that.

That's awfully nice. How nice. In a weird way, it's nice. I mean, it could have been worse. Could have just peeled out of there, left a big divot in the grass and never would come back. But anyway. See, Marcus run. And he missed a spot for Pete Sage.

She did one of those little mohawks where you forget a little strip. That'd be the worst because now you don't have a lawnmower to fix it. Nope. You've got to get out there with the scissors. Oh, man. My wife would do that because she hates the Mohawk on grass. She gets so mad. If I leave any kind of little strip of that, she's like, I'm never letting you mow again.

I'm like, I'm perfectly okay with that. Oh, my gosh, Avey Tech John. What did we got there, but. That is a broken link is what that is, sir. Damn it, he says. Let's see. let's go oh okay so what happened here okay so there's surveillance of this marcus renard hubbard great name yep uh renard is when you have your if you lose a testicle and they reattach it that's a

renard that's what they call that you let's see let's see just get a renard yeah you get a renard it's a renewed the renewing of a nard uh fancy surgery work there anyway uh the surveillance camera shows him removing items from a residence on April 1st. That's the jokes on them. He was then captured on video filling a lawnmower with gasoline, then mowing the property owner's yard, front and back at night. And then you can see vehicles with their headlights being seen passing the home as he cuts the grass. Anyway, when they arrived to the house, he ran from the area while dragging the lawnmower.

Oh, it wasn't a rider. It was just a regular one, like a handle. Oh, interesting. Okay. Police found the moor in a nearby alley, but had yet to find Hubbard. Hubbard is hard to find. I was picturing a writing moment, too, and just him like, so long, suckers. It's such a better story.

Slowly down the street, yeah. It's such a better story than him pushing it or pulling it. It doesn't work as well. All right, well, that's it for your news. We're going to take a break. When we come back, our good pal, Steven Schlecker, back yet again. He also saw Multiverse of Madness as well as Brian. Probably have a thing or two to say about that.

And some other stuff. So stick around before that, a song selection from Brian Ibitt. Yeah, oh, this is so cool. The Ramona Flowers. have a brand new album coming out. This is the first single from said album, which is going to be called, what is the new album going to be called? It comes out at the end of the month, I believe, and it is called, I don't know. But all right, let's just leave it at that. Here's the first single from the new album that's called California. Here are the Ramona Flowers.

That's why, because he's under major spoilers. I always start typing Stephen. This is how it goes. This is what I do. And then I push this button. Steven. Whoops, that didn't work. Hold on.

Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Hey, look who it is. Stephen Schleiker, our old pal from Hayes, Kansas, and the headquarters of major spoilers.com. Welcome back to the show, Stephen. Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian.

Hey, man. Hello. Do we have you last week? I don't remember. Yes, we did. Did we? We did. Okay.

I think so, yeah. Times all left up for me since Vegas. I can't keep track anything. I don't know what's going on with that. But anyway, well, that's good. It's good to hear your sultry voice again and have you back here with us. May as well get this out of the thing to start with. You saw the Dr. Strange, too.

After two years of not going to the AMC theater, I finally went to the movie theater to see Dr. Strange and in the multiverse of madness. Mm-hmm. Our theater still sucks, Boll. All right. Nick said the same thing. Nick saw,

went with his girlfriend and her family the other day to see it and I said, he came back raving about the movie and all that. I said, awesome,

how's the theater? He goes, oh, it's terrible. It's terrible in there. It's terrible. Yeah. I don't know what happened.

Just garbage theaters. I wish I was Brian and had decent theaters near me, but I don't. So, okay, well, so the theater was bad, but how was your,

how was the film, in your opinion? I thought it was fine. I thought it was, I thought it was good. I don't think it is honestly I don't think that it's better than the first Doctor Strange movie I will agree with people that say that you

might have a better appreciation of the movie if you see the what if series definitely you need to see WandaVision and you probably ought to watch Evil Dead 2 Oh Because I remember as I tried to explain to my oldest son after he saw the movie twice

More on that later but I was like oh yeah this is directed by Sam You know, the director of one of my favorite films of all time, Army of Darkness. I said, what you really need to watch, though, is Evil Dead 2 because so much of what Sam Ramey did in the first Evil Dead and the remake of Evil Dead 2 is clearly on display in this movie, just his style and some of the gimmicks and his stuff that he was just stoked that they let him do that? Like, they're like, hey, man, you do you. Go ahead and give us a Sam Ramey movie, you know. It's so much more Sam Ramey than the first Spider-Man movies. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Because those always felt like the Spider-Man movies felt to me like anybody could have made them. It was just Sam Ramey got the job, and that's great, good for him and everything. But it never felt like he was given the Ramey antidote or whatever. He wasn't allowed to go full Ramey. The hard thing is, this movie has gone through so much since its first inception in that, you know, it was completely rewritten. Oh, shit, I forgot about that.

You know, they brought in Sam Ramey after it was rewritten. And it originally started out to be more horror-filled than what we ended up getting. And so I think the addition of Sam Ramey into the horror aspect of this movie was probably a, probably smart choice. But when you think about that this movie was supposed to come out, what, a year and a half ago, and it's been pushed and delayed, that, you know, a lot of this, a lot of this stuff is you can kind of see it on the screen. Year and a half, I didn't realize that. It was that supposed to come out. what was it? Like shortly after Wanda Vision, which I guess Wanda Vision was only a year ago.

So, you know, it may have only be six months to a year late. Still, that's just, that's a lot for a delay. I mean, it's doing really well, money-wise, making big cash. $185 million. Yeah. That seems good. Isn't that, uh, that beats the opening Batman weekend or no?

I have no idea. Oh, most certainly, yes. Yeah, I think so. That did really, that right now is the highest of the year internationally. I don't know about U.S. box office, but internationally, the Batman is is the current leader um but it sounded like this was right up its butt uh in terms of growth so maybe it'll yeah i guess next week will be the big uh or this weekend i guess if it's things are still going strong that'll be the good sign of if it's going to stick around or whatever do we have what's the next big block like the next big blockbuster to come out is it drastic

probably i believe so yeah i'd have to look and see what was the other thing i had my eye on oh um oh geez i can't think of it now i'm going to look it up and run tomatoes here and see what's upcoming i don't even know what the next marvel thing is do we know that next marvel thing is thor loving oh love and thunder two months that might be what i'm thinking of and that's ways off yeah that's july yeah july 9th uh then comes out at the end of the month oh top gun that was what i was thinking of that i'm actually excited about that talking about your delays yeah oh yeah okay yeah legit my youngest son who's just turned 11 to see Dr. Strange. And after the Top Gun trailer,

I had to lean over to him and say, you know, the last time that Top Gun was in the movie theater, your mom and I were in high school. Right. Yeah. Yeah. No, look, Top Gun has a special place for me. I felt like when I was a kid or younger,

I guess I'd have been a young teen, I guess that movie, for whatever reason, it was like the, that was, unlike Star Wars, which was like the, the real bringing of a blockbuster around the kind of fantasy or science fiction or that sort of thing

this was more like it was more grounded it had a realism thing going on with it but it represented like the the Tony Scott Bruchheimer era of like we're bringing big action to movie theaters and it's going to be in big amazing shots and they're shooting these actual planes and it's not green screens

and to me it was like really impactful back then I don't know that I you know I don't watch it that often but I'm guessing that Top Gun 1 doesn't hold up for me the way I think it does. You might be surprised. Yeah. Maybe. We got a, not just a trailer, but a full-on scene from Top Gun before Dr. Strange and Arthur.

Probably yours as well since you did AMC also. I mean, it was a long trailer. Yeah. Oh, it didn't say, here's a scene from the UpGun movie. No, they didn't. It was a straight-up trailer. Our AMC is like the stepchild AMC. was like we do what we want yeah we had a full on it's just like they'd rather not talk about ours

yeah yeah gotcha we had like a five to ten minute scene from the new top gun movie and at the end they had to come back down and say just a quick reminder i know a lot of you're thinking that this was a scene from the first top gun but no this is actually a scene from the new top gun even though it looks exactly the same but it really is from the new one not the oh wow wow okay they didn't really they didn't really do that but is it hard to tell like in your mind it was very similar yeah The actor that plays Goose's son is straight up just trying to, same mustache, same haircut, everything. Yeah, it's what's his face from Whiplash? Oh, is it?

Teller, Miles Teller. That's ridiculous. They're trying to make him look like him. That's funny. And he does look like Goose, yeah. Yeah, that's hilarious. When they make the ER reboot, they can put him in that too. Why not?

Here's the thing, though, like when I watch that trailer, it hit me and I went and looked it up. Tom Cruise is officially older in this. this movie, like in real life, older than Tom Scarrett was in the first movie. And that's weird. Really? Oh, that's funny. Yeah, pretty weird. Anyway, that's a movie I'll see, but I'm not rushing to theaters for that. Are you kidding?

I'm not doing that. Yeah. I'll see that at home. Well, all right. So, uh, why'd you're, oh, wait, did you say why your son went twice? Why is he so into it? What's the deal? He, I guess he doesn't want to upset his friends because Friday night he went with one

group of friends and then he didn't tell his other group of friends that he'd seen it. And they're like, hey, come and see this. with us. And he was like, the movie's just okay, but I don't want to make them feel bad that I went and saw it without them. So he went and saw the movie a second time. So that's good. He seems like a good kid. Nice. But I was just like, dude, if you don't want to see it, just tell your friends you don't want to see it. And then I said, and then afterwards, I was like, so we were out having Mother's Day lunch. And I said, so did you do the old, hmm, I wonder if in this movie blankly blank that's going to happen to blank and then have it happening. Your friends would be

like, whoa, you're like, how did you predict that? He said, no, I didn't want to do that. That could have been pretty fun. Oh, that's funny. So, all right, very awesome. I hope it does well because it, you know, it's good to see the MCU continuing to, you know. There's some pretty big things that happen in the movie that will be interesting to see how they use those ideas in upcoming movies. I got spoiled on one of them, and I wasn't mad.

That's fine. I was actually really excited to hear what I heard. I won't say it here. Is it the one with Professor X in it, only because we saw that. in all the trailer. Oh, was that in the trailer? I didn't even know that. No, it's not that.

It's another one. Let's say, let's say I. Oh, no, no, no. Don't say any. I'm not going to say anything. I'm not going to say anything. I'll just say I was really surprised to hear that. That was a good, that was a good spoiler for me to hear.

There are, oh, actually, this was two spoilers. There are two in credit sequences. Yeah. The second one, you don't really need to stick around for it, but it is a, it is a nice kind of. It's funny, though. I mean, it's, it's shwerma, right? I mean, it's not actually shwerma, but it's kind of on that level of. It's funny, it's Chorma.

Yeah, I like Shorma once, and then I could never watch the Shorma scene again. But that, but that middle stinger, I think, is great, and I think it's going to be another thing that will really get Scott excited. Really? Yes. Ooh. So Tom Hardy is Mad Max, or what, what's going on? I'm not saying anything. All right.

You know. George Perez passed away, which is a real bummer. This is one of the, one of the greats in all comic book history. history without any question and no one no one would deny that um he's amazing he's uh one of the greatest comic artists in the history of the medium and also just a really great uh collaborator like a lot of writers are like i wouldn't have had this idea without george working with george or i wouldn't have done this written it this way without george and he was just amazing and unfortunately the guy passed away had uh had pancreatic cancer pancreatic cancer and that's

died at 67. So two great, two great artists, George Perez and Neil Adams last week that we talked about at age 80. When George Perez was asked, what comic book hero or what comic book character do you want to draw? He said, all of them. And of course, if you look at any of his covers of major crossover events, whether it be Avengers versus JLA or Crisis on Instagram, it's like everybody, everywhere all it wants. Yeah. Oh, that run of Teen Titans, the new Teen Titans. one of my favorite series story arcs of all time.

Still good. And if you have the app, they have that whole thing on there. It's totally worth reading if you haven't read it. It's very, very good. Even though they have the dumb boots. I hate those boots. But that was the thing of its time. The boots on the head of the big flip foldover.

It's a thing of its time and that's okay. It was. Captain Merrick to have them too. Sure. But, yeah, George Perez, one of the greats, sadly, passed away. And there's lots of tributes out there. lots of other comic artists, people like Jim Lee and Alex Ross and some of the other current greats are all praising this dude. And apparently he was like, take time out of anything to talk to a

fan. Didn't matter who came up to him. Never one of those guys that was like, these people, these sweaty plebeians, I need to get out of the hotel or whatever. He was always really, really cool that way and really, really kind. So it has been very hard to find a copy of the Justice League versus the Avengers crossover just because it's so hard to get both companies to agree on reprints and everything. But it was a year and a half ago or two years ago when Perez announced that he had pancreatic cancer, they said, well, what if we re-release this in one, you know, trade paperback, limit edition, hardcover, 5,000 copies. And it comes out, I believe, this week or next week. And so you're going to bet that there's going to be a big run on people trying to get that to

get that. If you didn't pre-order, you're probably not going to get it. Yeah, I would assume that's going to go quick and not be reprinted, probably, unless, I don't know. I doubt it's ever going to be reprinted ever again. Okay. Well, good luck to everybody getting that and also our best to his family. I mean, they knew it was coming, but still. Oh, yeah, yeah. Rough. There's also a new Doctor Who, and I don't know this guy. So you tell me about this new dude. You do. You actually do know him because you watched sex education, that UK series about the kid who starts teaching his high school class sex education secretly. Oh, this is the really super gay kid. The flamboyant, his friend, yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, I like him. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. He was announced yesterday morning, early in the morning, to be the new doctor in the next season of the Doctor Who. And, yeah, a lot of people are excited about it. He is the second person to play a black doctor.

The first one being the fugitive doctor from two seasons ago, I want to say. So, yeah, a lot of people very excited about this. Very young. He's only 29 years old. Does that make him the youngest actor to play? I don't think so. I want to say Matt Smith may have been younger when he played. Let's see.

Matt Smith has a way of looking old. even though he's not. I know, right? Yeah. Like in the new Game of Thrones thing, he's in the spinoff, he looks, man, he looks old. He was 26, he was 26 years old. Oh, really? Okay. When he played the doctor. He was three years younger than Peter Davidson, who is his father-in-law. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. That's cool. Yeah. In a statement, his name is, we haven't said his name. It's Nukuti Gatwa. Yeah, he's a Scottish actor. He's from Scotland, but, you know, obviously born to parents from a different place. It says here this role and show means so much to so many around the

world. I am deeply honored, beyond excited, and of course, a little bit scared. Well, I'm excited. See what happens. Yeah. Was everyone pretty happy with Jody? What's her name? I thought she was great. Jody Whitaker. I thought she was fine. Yeah, she was great. But of course, there's always going to be people that are detractors because she was a woman and, you know, et cetera, et cetera. I'm sure a lot of these same things are being popped up about Gatwa. So go go watch the show for yourself when it comes out. And then base it on the decision there, not on color of skin or, you know, orientation or any of that, yeah. Yeah.

I need to, I mean, I'm so far behind. I wouldn't know where to start. Still don't know where to start. Brian always says, start with what's his name, but I did that and then I fell off. Start with Eccleston, yeah. Yeah, I haven't done anything since. So, I'm not one of your Doctor Who people, I guess. Tenant, Tenant for me still is the best of the new run, although I really liked Eccleston.

I really liked Capaldi, but Tenet was my jam. Zoe corrected me there. David Tennant and Peter Davidson are related through marriage. Pete Davidson, the comedian? No, Peter Davidson, the previous one. Oh, oh, oh, oh. It's like, how was that guy getting around that much? I don't like it.

something wrong over there Kardashian Ariana Grande and now he's related to Doctor Who? What? Well, all right then. We'll look forward to seeing how that all plans out. And in the meantime, major spoilers.com, always a place to go to get your latest in comic news, pop culture, and otherwise. And Stephen, I'm sure there's something going on right now. You want to mention what's going on?

Well, it's going to be hot today here, like 96 degrees. So I'm going to encourage everyone to go into a cool, clean movie theater and stay hydrant. Yeah, do that. It's going to be like a high of 50 for us. What's going on? Oh, really? Yeah, we're going to be in the 80s, low 80s, high 70s today.

We're in a cold front. What's going on? I guess so. That's coming this way, I'm sure. Either way, stay hydrated. Okay, there he goes. All right, there you go. Hey, we got a mashup today from our good pal, Jamie,

Jamie the mashup guy, and we love it. He does great work here for us each and every week, and we're no different today. This is one that's actually called Too Many Teeth, and it's a UC, which stands for Unnecessary Censorship. Oh, gotcha. Okay. So a bunch of fake swears and joy.

There you go. It just throbbed all the time and I was like, why is this? I only for the past 12 hours. What's going on? Yeah. How could this be with all that repetitive play?

That snuck up my butt and then made a camp there. I'm just confused as to how the ended up in his mouth. No details on that, unfortunately, I wish. All I can say is none of your should come anywhere near your mouth. I think That's just a pretty good statement. Did you know that Gwyneth Paltrow has a new candle in the goop store? No way.

What's the... It is, this candle smells like my... Oh, okay, that really escalated then. They get those long, firm... I'll bet there's great... Yeah, you'd be like, I'll take the... Good meat. Okay.

Hey, Brian Dunaway. Suck a d'I, and we'll see you next time. You, by now. Wow. Wow. Wow. My gosh. I know.

He'll admit it one day. He sucks. She also... With too many teeth. Like, there was teeth involved in the... And that's not ever good. Oh, geez. It's just too much mouth open and, like, not...

lips press, but it was just like, you took a can and opened it and you put the can up around your... That's just what it felt like. That's a terrible description. It's going to haunt me. It seems illegal. Yeah, a little bit of core thrown in there. Very nice. Very nice indeed.

Yeah, I didn't say... I said ducks, everybody. Ducks. Yeah. See, unnecessary censorship makes it seem like I said something else, but I said ducks. Yeah. There was nothing that we said in there that, you know, we couldn't say in front of our parents. No. Well,
