I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hi, Scott. How are you? 22, Brian. It's pretty close to being a cool number. 22.

I guess the six is just going to, we'll have to live with it. It's fine. It just sits off to the side over there. Just put the six right over there. And then we've got 22, 22. That's right. That's right. It's a good time to be alive. Welcome back, everybody, to the show. We're glad to be here. We don't often acknowledge them in a proper way, but thank you, Chad. For being here and being live. Thank you, Chad. Yeah, you guys are great. Thanks, Chad. I hope you're still hanging there, buddy. Hang in Chad. Anyway, hey, oh, people comment and they like your shirt. This is a common shirt for Ryan. I swear when I'm... This one is, yeah, this is... The shorts I'm wearing which you can't see are blue pinstripe.

shorts yeah oh look at those yeah sexy um and this is like the only Hawaiian shirt that goes with these shorts there's only like three shirts i can wear with these shorts that don't that don't clash and this one is the well you don't want to clash obviously because it's Hawaiian shirt yeah yeah um hey that uh that audio clip you played by the way was my favorite moment from this uh the season of barry the Vanessa bayer oh yeah she's amazing that whole that whole discussion everything about them working with that stupid streaming company is ridiculous it's so over the top great and uh did did i did i or did i not spy um the person perkins yes yeah is that all we get to see of her is that one shot or she's in there talking about very little yeah very little like um there's i think

two or three meetings with elizabeth perkins so amazing yeah i love her she's like uh she's like what Millie Bobby Brown could grow up to look like. It's a very similar facial. They're almost identical looking, yeah. There's a few memes going around where they got like comparison shots of the two of them around the same age even. Oh, really? Okay. Oh, yeah.

So you're not, you're not even barking up the solo tree. It's real. I'm not even the first to notice that. Okay. Yeah, it's pretty. It's the internet. I'm not the first to do anything. Yeah.

I guarantee it. Everybody out there, have an original thought and then go search for it. And guess what? Exactly. Someone else has done it. Hey, I was the first to have a viral. clip of falling off my bike that's right that's right

before the leader of the western world that's right Brian was first first like in a like in a forum thread you were first right exactly first to comment under YouTube video yes I had a number of people try to find contact me and say hey can you get

Brian's original video and then mash these two up and make a video out of it and I haven't been able to find it your video I know you have it still I think I'm sure but yeah if you weren't where president Biden took a biff like a serious biff one of the camera angles just looks like he tipped over but if you look at the one where he's creeping up you see his foot just doesn't get out of the clip in time yeah like he he thinks he's got a pulled out and then he goes to put it down

to put all his weight on it to hop off the bike and it's still in the clip and that's when when shit just happens like it just right over yeah there's just no stopping it at that point i mean And, you know, it's easy to make fun of a old guy who limps around and looks like he's a little bit slow these days. But, you know, we've all, we've all been there. We all had our foot in the thing and fell, you know, even when Trump, Trump going slow down a ramp, I've gone slow down a ramp, you know. He, by the way, he commented on it, too. He says, oh, I hope, I hope Joe's okay. I can promise the American people that I will never ride a bike.

And I think we can all look at them and say, yeah, we, we know. Yeah, we know you haven't written one. we know you're not on one you can you can promise all you want but we knew we knew yeah well anyway brian i think you did it better is what i'm saying it's a bottom line thanks yes i certainly did it in a much more colorful uh flare with the uh jersey that i was wearing yeah it's also something about a ring camera catching something that's that's that's better i don't know why it's way better than like you know somebody's little handheld phone because yeah yeah it's got like a surveillance quality to it that's uh hard to duplicate so

So, well done. Okay, something I found I wanted to talk about on the show today. Yeah. And that is, we all assume or have assumed for quite a while that if somebody asked you the question, what's the longest running television series in American history? You would say the Simpsons probably. I wouldn't. No.

Oh, what would you say? I saw this in here and I was like, oh, all right. Well, I want to correct you. Longest running sitcom is The Simpsons. Yeah. I thought the run, if you had asked me and had a gun to my head. television show? Yeah, I would have said the symptoms.

They would say like it's Meet the Press or some news, 60 minutes or 2020, not 2020. That was the one that came out during the early 80s. But there have been like, you know, some news BS thing that has had a thousand hosts or something like that. Well, you are correct. Meet the Press is number one. 74 years. Which is number one? Okay, well, see.

Seventy four years. 3,600-plus episodes, 3,600 episodes. You think our total of currently 2307 is a lot, but that's, you know, and that is a lot. 23-07's a lot. Yeah, we're getting, we'll catch up to meet the press. Feels like it. They're like weekly.

Yeah. And it took them 74 years to get there. Right, exactly. We'll be there like in four or five years. We'll catch up to them probably. Yeah. So this is considered its category as longest running show ever, even though it's also a newscast

but 74 years is a tie with CBS Evening News which is 16,400 episodes Those jerks do it daily though They do it every day, I know Never catch them Never gonna catch them We'll be dead

We're gonna die before we catch them Right Here's an interesting one Utah connection Music and the spoken word I have never heard of this thing So that is a Utah? Yeah, it's a Mormon Tabernacle Choir thing.

Oh, okay. And it airs all over the country, but it started in, let's see, 19449, October of that year, 4,837 episodes as of May 2022. 72 years total. It's pretty crazy. Holy cow. Yeah, I've been in the tabernacle, and it is incredible. Like, they did a little test, and somebody dropped a penny on the lectern at the front while we were in there.

and we were two and I were sitting in the furthest back row pew or whatever and heard it as clear as day the acoustics in that place are so incredible it is pretty crazy the they have a newer building called the conference center which is more it's more modern well it's built in like 2000 or whatever so it's not that new anymore but anyway that place is like I don't know eight times as big gigantic organ same kind of deal you can drop a penny in here from the back it's crazy Looking at this list, can I call your attention to the row about five or six down, which is a show called The Victory Hour, which is, I guess, a syndicated local Richmond, Virginia deal. It airs on WTVR and it aired on WTVR, and then that switched over WBT. I've been on the television for 70 years, two seasons. at what point did they say all right that's about it for season one let's start season two yeah how do you even divide it up you know that's really weird like everything else is like yeah you know 74 years we've had 70 seasons of meet the press or 72 seasons of music of the spoken

word but uh victory hour said okay i feel like i feel like we've said all we've said all we wanted to say in season one yeah start a new season let's start a new season is for all we know they just started a new season you know what i mean like this is right right it could have could have easily season one's just two episodes in we don't know uh then we get characters the christian program uh i like this one backyard farmer oh yeah sure nebraska educational telecommunications is the network and uh they've done 1,180 episodes so they're like right around us wow the longest running show for home lawn and gardening the show claims to be the longest running locally produced program in television history.

Well, sure, I guess. Okay. Nebraska? Good job. Find your thing and stick to it. Yeah. Yeah, you got that. The Tonight Show's right up there with 67 years. We kind of knew that. Yep.

All right. So then my whole point was, we got all these in the 70s and the 60s and the hooha and whatnot. And then the 50s and the 40s. And I'm like, holy shit, I couldn't have been more wrong about the longest running series in the history of the thing. and I just assumed, I mean, yes, longest running sitcom, sure. Longest running animated series? Absolutely.

But I thought it was the longest running thing ever. And I don't know why. I just felt like an idiot when I looked at this list and went, look at all this shit. Look at all this. These are questions that come up all the time in trivia competitions. So that's probably why, you know, I've heard it recently enough to know what's what. Longest Running Game Show, do you want to take a guess?

Yes. I mean, my gut says Jeopardy. I'll just guess. Jeopardy is a very good guess. Jeopardy is the second longest. To tell the truth. Oh. Which I didn't realize we're still on. I guess.

Is that the one Wayne Brady? It's the one where they've got the three panelists and they can only ask yes or no questions. They can keep asking questions until they get a no and then it goes to the next post, I think so. I thought that was a relatively new thing. I didn't know that was that old. Right. Number one, please rise and state your name. Hi, I'm Brian Nibbitt, I'm a podcaster. Number two, please rise in the state your name.

Hi, I'm Brian Nibbitt and I'm a podcast. So was that running before then, like before Wayne Brady got a hold of it? It must have been. Yes. Oh, gosh, yes. I remember seeing old ones with Kitty Carlisle and Betty Carlisle and Betty White. Wow. I didn't know. I guess I've never seen that one. Kitty Carlisle was like, that's the one I totally remember. remember the most like she she was like this uh i guess she was famous for being a socialite or

something she was like the the 50s Kardashian uh my favorite kind of celebrity great right yes never heard of her kitty carlyle kitty carlyle uh she was quite the debutante was she of the time she was uh she was famous for anything else but here's her her sex tape with a rapper is that what i'll say that i'm pretty sure she she did not get famous because of that Okay, good. Well, you know, small victories, I guess. Yes, I guess she has done, oh, she was in a night of the opera with the Marx Brothers. Okay. Did you know Mr. Rogers' neighborhood has run for 31 seasons or did run for 31 seasons? I didn't realize this. Oh, I didn't know that either. 31 seasons.

Yeah, crazy. He went, he did him from 1970, all the way through 1968, all the way through 2001, August 31st, 2001, where he died a couple years later. I know, you know, we both saw the documentary bomb. Did you also see that Tom Hanks? Never saw it. Oh, it's so good. Yeah. It's kind of about him but not really about him.

Or what's the deal? The focus is on, it's kind of like the Steve Coogan, Judy Dench. Like, where you're kind of almost following him as he. I guess the Steve Coogan thing I guess he's with Judy Dench the whole time but you're following kind of the main character who's a writer for the Chicago Sun Times or Tribune one of the two

and goes to interview was that is that right Mr. Rogers' neighborhood was Chicago Public Television before it was I think so am I doing that wrong it was like that hold on it may actually say here I might say here uh no it doesn't

why doesn't it oh network here we go net and then PBS when we knew about PBS what the hell is net net net is Pittsburgh Pittsburgh that's right oh Pittsburgh okay I'm a crack it out pitchburg fella well anyway yeah won't you be my neighbor or I can remember the name of the Tom Hanks one but it was really really good uh the other the other thing the Steve Kuggan movie was called Willamina and it's great people should see

Philomena Philomena Willamina why did I say Willamina I don't know because Philemina? Yeah. Why am I thinking Willamina? Is there Willemina? There was a character, some character named Willamina. Was that Willie Scott's full name in Indiana Jones? I don't know.

I don't know what it is. Temple of Doom. Well, anyway, there's that. Tons of other stuff. And then you finally get to The Simpsons down. Let's see. I'm going way down. I mean, hell.

Yeah, it's not even the longest running animated thing, because Scooby-Doo, can you, can you count Scooby-Doo because they listed here as 52 years, 29 seasons of Scooby-Doo. But you're counting the original. You know, Scooby-Doo, where are you? Yeah.

But then also the new Scooby-Doo movies, the Scooby-Doo show, Scooby and Scrappy. The new Scooby-and-Scrappy Show. The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo. Yeah, I don't think you get to do that. I don't think you do. It's got to be one contiguous show. If you do spinoffs, re-does,

re-formations, those count. I think those are. have to reset the clock don't you think yeah those are all bull crap i say uh i did not know that the real world has been on the air for 33 seasons oh wow that's a lot yeah that's how old we are just finished the reunion show for the uh new orleans cast oh how is that really you know if nothing else that show those reunion those mtv reunion real world things just go to show you that being on a reality show can really eff people up Turned it into kind of fame monsters.

Did you, how's the Utah girl in there? She was, it was a big deal here. She was the, she was kind of the big train wreck, Julie. Really? Oh, she's a train wreck? So she was the Mormon girl who'd never done anything. And it was almost like all that stuff was so bottled up for such a long time that now she, she kept describing yourself on the show as very sex-positive.

I'm very sex positive. That's great. I feel like if you have to keep saying that, maybe there's deeper, deeper. It's adults protest too much situation. A little bit. Yeah, right. That's unfortunate. At the time, I remember us really rooting for her here.

We were like, oh, Julie, such a sweet girl. Let's go. You're going to do this. All these worldly real worlders, you know, they're going to give you crap and make you drink and do all. Oh, you're going to be fine, Julie. Stuff that came out that she did after Real World wrapped up, because then they, you know, they want to parlay that into a career of, like, speaking engagements at schools and appearances and other things. She apparently has, she, like, screwed a couple of the other cast members, like, told venues not tire them because of, oh, well, they do this or they're not going to do this kind of thing and really, like, slammed. That's not cool.

no no and it finally came out during this reunion thing that does so here's a letter i got from my agent saying damn dude some dirt some real dirt on that episode wow i really wish they jumped right over the la cast that was the one i was really interested in seeing with puck and i'm sorry san francisco cast with puck yeah and jud winnick um obviously pedro's no longer with us um yeah that was the that was the season that had the most besides puck there was a normalcy to that season

there were a bunch of people trying to do like they had plans and hopes and careers and they were excited and Jud Winnick went on to do what exactly what went on to do. Made a bunch of comics and super talented comic artist yeah ended up marrying what's her name the doctor right from that same season yep

Amy or Jimmy or Lane Laney I'm sure it was Jimmy was Jimmy yeah Jimmy and Judd can't remember but then puck was a total dick and and then you know all that that was the only season i really i think that's the one i enjoyed the most because it just felt the most real same here i'm kind of looking for it i'm hoping they do a london reunion because i like that group with uh i just remember justinda oh who else was that i bet if i saw a shot of them i'd remember the names of other ones but um my guess is and and i haven't looked online to confirm this but i'm guessing that nobody wanted to do the San Francisco reunion specifically because it meant they would be stuck in the house again with Puck.

Nobody wanted to be with Puck. Yeah, they are, I guess they're hardcore about that. I've read that before. Probably, yeah. They're just like, you know, he was a horrendous human being. And we don't want to be anywhere near that dude. And it wasn't just like stuff on screen where he put his finger in the peanut butter and whatever. It was more than that.

It was like, he is a bad man and we want Zip to do with him. Is he around? I guess he's around. He's a guy. I'm sure he is, yeah. He lives. He lives. He lives.

He lives. He's the first thing comes up when you search for Puck, as opposed to like the Shakespeare character or the member of Alpha Flight. Oh, right. I forgot about that guy. Well, good luck, Puck and everybody else in that season. We're going to call Brian Dunaway and have our own little reunion. It's a reunion of sorts. Yeah, he's pretty cool. He's pretty cool.

He's no Puck. He's no puck. can get him in here. Oh, Pam. That's it. That's who Jud Winnick married Pam. Oh, Pam is her name. Yeah.

She was the doctor. She was in medical school at the time. Yep. Yeah, then they had Corey and Muhammad. Wait, Muhammad that season? Muhammad was that season, yeah. That feels like a season one guy. No?

Who am I thinking of? I don't remember. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He had cool dreads and stuff. Rachel. Yep, exactly. That's right. You just don't think of those others.

You just think of the core group, you know? yep exactly you think of you think of uh puck rachel uh Pedro and judd yeah that's pretty much it or or in some ways i just think puck you know right puck and the peanut butter yeah and they did try to do some stuff with him later like had him hosts and like ancillary stuff right they tried to do those like real world road ruse challenges and i think then that just turned into the challenge and evolved and yeah well good luck to puck and all his doings That music you hear right there is the music we use now to bring Brian Dunaway on board for a little tadpooly feud on a Wednesday. Hi, Brian. How are you? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian.

Hi. Hello. How are you guys? I was this in the bathroom. Oh, okay. All right. Everything come out, okay? Yeah. No, it was taking so long. I knew he was calling me. I have my headphones on and they're wireless and I run into the bathroom. I was like, I got time. They're talking about the real world. They're just going to keep yapping it up. Yeah. Well, most of that was to cover while we were dialing you and not having an answer.

Oh, I know. I know. It's right in the middle of, you know, doing my business. Yeah, yeah. No, look. Oh, they're calling. If you don't drop. Go faster you're in stream. If you don't drop the kids off at the pool, who's going to do it for you? Nobody is the answer. Right. Nobody. I don't do that at work. No, don't poo at work. Never do.

PPS. Poo, no. That'll end up in a mashup. All right. Hey. Let's get to this game. we know what to do, but Brian will have to explain more. Brian, oh, I guess we need a caller, don't we? We need a contestant, yeah. Yeah, let me get that going. I say Monday, Scott. My bad. My bad, everybody forgot to start up

the phone thing. It's coming, it's coming, and here comes. That's what threw me. This week's weird. Having a Monday holiday, it threw me off, man. It really, it threw me off too, yeah. Yeah, I hate Monday holidays. Oh, no, I love them. Do you love them? Yeah, love them. That's great. Okay, now it's up. I don't know what it took so long.

All right, hopefully somebody will call in real quick, and we can add them to this, and they can play a little tad pool Feud. Oh, there it is. Let's at it. Let's find out who this is. Hi, thanks for calling. Who's this? Hello. Hey, Stephanie. Hello, Stephanie. How are you? Stephanie. Stephanie, perfect time for you to call in.

We're going to talk about apps, and it's going to be great. We're looking forward to our apps. Can't wait to talk about apps. Yeah, it's going to be great. I know you're looking forward to that, right? You're stoked? It's an all-apps edition of Tad Pooley Feud. Yeah, that's right. It's good to have you here. Brian, hey, why don't you explain to Stephanie here, and me and Brian, for that matter, on how this thing works and what we're doing.

Oh, God, you guys don't know? You don't know already? Okay. All right, it's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. Today's not super nerdy. Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess.

Now, Stephanie, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And, of course, you did get your name in today's episode, which I think makes it two in a row. If your team wins, you get a prize package what includes a copy of Car, Mechanic Simulator, 2018. Oh, that's a good. It is good. And Wonder Song. Ooh, that's also good.

Oh, yeah, Wonder Song. That was a good one, too. Very good. We talked about that last year, I'd believe. Yeah. Relatively new. It's good. Oh, good. Well, exciting games there that you and Kyle can enjoy.

But you need to earn them. And in order to earn them, you need a topic. So, gentlemen, put your hands on your buzzers. Right. And give me your answer to this. We surveyed 766 tadpoolers for this one. What's your favorite French word or phrase? No. Scott. Soup du jour. Show me. Soup de jour. Show me. Soup de jour.

The day, baby. Oh, come on. Oh, my goodness. That was a number, let's see here. I know that came up. Yeah, it's not even in the top 20. Wow. Really? That's lame. How are you going to find out what your soup of the day is? Right, exactly. Yeah, lame. All right. Well, that gives a free shot to Brian.

Any answer on the board? Yes, I will take wee-wee-wee-poo for number one, please. Sure. Show me, we-wee-wee-poo. Oh, what? We is number one. Are you kidding? Why didn't I think of that?

Of course, the tad-pull did that. Oh, my Lord. Any form of we-wee-wee-wee-poo. So we, we, I mean, that's nice. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So, Brian, you and Stephanie have control of the board. I don't know how good, Stephanie's French is.

Yeah, Stephanie. We got this. We got this done away. Are you a big, Stephanie, you big French fan? You like all the French things? You're going to be able to, no? No. No, okay.

No, but this beats trying to figure out Indiana Jones quotes. That's a good point. That's a good point. That's a good. The real trick here is to figure out how to do tenities like ten favorite I've got I've got like four or five offensive

French phrases I know to you know to really piss off Patrick but after that I'm kind of out. You're all out after that I get you yeah we'll see what I'll chop your head maybe maybe combined we'll do okay yeah we got this all right we got this Stephanie do you have one that pops

in to your head uh the first one I can think of is uh... Sela Vey if I'm saying that right Selah O, Saylevy, Selevy, Selevy. Pulling out a little Robbie and Neville by Brian Dunaway there. Yeah, that's right. 1885, Robbie Neville, 1986, Robbie Neville with Sayla V.

Yep. Is that your, that's your, going to be your guess? I don't know. I thought it was until it's, Stephanie, you got quiet on this. I'm like, Stephanie's answer. I don't know. I think so. I think it's a great answer.

It's a good answer. The French wave saying that's just the way it goes. Say la V. Number two. Damn, you guys are killing. Nice. I always have to say merci bucoup,

which is totally how you're not saying it, but I love saying it. Merci bucoup. Nelcy bucoup. Yeah. All right. I think, Stephanie, is that a good one? Yeah, or at least just

mercy, whatever. Yeah. I'm with you on that. Let's do it. She wants to narrow. Okay. Yeah, okay. Merci.

Yes, please. All right. All right. Show me. Show me. See me. Thank you. No, 20.

Any form of mercy. Merci. Merci, merci, was number 20 on the list. Oh, my gosh. Well, now the pressure is on.

Sorry, Stephanie. It's like I'm buying Stephanie some games. We can come back. It's okay. We're up against Scott here, so I don't know. Yeah, I wouldn't worry.

I felt better about it. I seriously wouldn't worry, you guys. I'm terrible at this. Okay. If it's the tadpool, somebody, somewhere tried to spell

and I don't know how you write that but whatever that's my answer. O-W-O W-W-O All the letters. All right, show me ho-ho-ho Oh, come on.

Really? French laugh number 18. A lot of people spelled it H-O-N-H-O-N but Oh. Do you have no one? I have one. that Scott loves. We might want to take it.

How do I love it? Really? Okay. Right. What did you do it? Go. We did it this past week on the film sack. It was, Bonapetee.

Oh, yeah. You can have an argument about if you pronounce a tea at the end, a bonapit. Yeah. All right. Okay. Okay. I think so.

Let's go with that. I have a couple more that I think that Tadpool went with. Did we determine on film sack if it's Tete or T? It's T. T. You don't pronounce the final. Yeah, you don't pronounce the final. It's just the way he said it.

He's like, bonapetee. I was like, yeah. Bonapetee. Yeah, who was, it was a. Good appetite. No, I'm trying to remember who the, who, I can't remember what we saw. Jason Statham. We watched it.

David Hasselhoffin. No, David, is David, is Jason Statham. That's right. It was the, it was the, it was the transporter. That's right. Okay. It wasn't this past weekend. My bad.

All right. All right. Show me. Bon Appetit. Are you kidding? Number 16. Yeah. Are you kidding me?

I wish I was kidding. I'm not kidding, though. Dude. What the what? We're going with mine next time. Sorry, don't know it. Control is back over to Brandon Stephanie.

No, me. It's me. No, no, no. Yeah, they just answered that wrong. Hold on. Hold on. Let me. Can I un-strike.

What? No. No, no, no, no, no. I'm kidding. It's hilarious. Strike fixed. Oh, okay, good. I was like, wait a minute.

Why am I struck? Oh, how do you do that? That's cool. Yeah, you can unstrike. I'm what you answer the rest of them since I apparently am an idiot. All right. Here's my answer. Because someone out there is thinking that someone's going to channel Patrick.

Somebody said, really, really. I know this happened. Oh, that's really good. Yeah. It had to have happened because that's like a thing. It's a meme. It is. It is.

It's like 100 points. All right. Show me really, really. Oh, come on. Let's see. People did say that. It was number 37 on the list. Oh, it's way down there.

37. Look, Patrick's been busy. Look, Patrick's been busy raising two little babies. He hasn't been around. Nobody's heard it in a while. I think it's just falling off. I think so. I think that's right.

Yeah. We'll do a reunion in 20 years. Bring Puck back. We'll bring it back to just say, ready, really. Yeah. There you go. all right uh brian and stepney we're we're uh down to there's eight available answers on the board and you guys have two strikes you need to uh i think we should go with that's too expensive that's

how much those eggs are bonjour what do you think stepney oh joe stephanie yeah give me give me your stephan give me yours what you guys seems obvious but i'm now i'm like super worried um i don't know if people would go with that i don't know maybe Maybe, I don't know. I'm so confused. I was going to go. Can I go with one of mine? Yeah.

I have a strong feeling about this one because it was in a song and maybe people would use it because it's in a song. So, but it's a big one. Are you ready for it? Yeah. Do you want to say it? Or should we just go with yours? No, say it. Go for it.

Say it. No, no. No, say yours because our third strike. It doesn't matter what Scott gets. This is it. If we don't get it, it doesn't matter if Scott gets. yeah if i if i if you're gonna win if if i you guys strike and then i strike which is very likely you're you're you're you're yeah but if you know that's true let's just go with yours

let's just go with yours because you said it already and i don't want scott that way i can take the full brunt of the it's my fault yeah you should that's good no you should do it but no take it for the team take it just like uh just just just like the beauty said and the Yeah Bonjour All right Show me Bonger

No 7 That probably sealed Your deal Thank God All right Okay Steph Now you can use

You can use yours If Scott If Scott would If Scott would have won Yeah he could have won Yeah you're right Good play So

Good point Good call Yeah Okay the one I was going to say Is Oh gosh Here we go Uh,

uh, Vue fuchet, uh, Vee Moe. Vue. So you go with the, uh, That's that song, right?

Yeah, that one. Yeah, yeah. No switch. Moulin Rouge. That's right. Okay. You're going with the, uh, the lady marmalade, uh, by, uh,

yeah, that one. Yeah, that's the same. Yeah. Sure. All right. Um, a little bit, uh, a little bit of clarification here when you see this. Show me, Vuevueu Coucher with me,

Seasoir. Nice. There's clarification. Yeah, because it was, I think Stephanie said, Voo, Voo. Oh, yeah. No, I said it wrong the first time,

and I was hoping nobody caught it. That's why I repeated it. No, that counts. That totally counts. You're good. All right, you two. You're running away with it. Yeah, 15 points.

Okay, okay. I have another one. All right. Give me a list, Deffi. Okay, so this one just kind of popped up in my head. I am a huge Doctor Who fan, and I know my favorite doctor says, Amal Z. Okay.

So I think our TEDPool is put a bunch of who heads in there. I'm agreeing. So that might be a safe one. Yeah, we have a lot of who heads. Lots of who heads. A bunch of who heads. Yeah. Who heads.

All right. Is that what you're going with you? Alonzie. Let's do it. All right. Here we go. Show me. Allonsie.

No. Surprisingly, I thought that would be higher, too. 28 on the list for out of Z. Oh, they let us down. He did. They did. All right. Well, there's six answers on the board, Scott.

You need at least two of them to win. To take those prizes, to yank those prizes out of Stephanie's hands. Now, here is, okay, I want everyone to hear me very clearly before I say this. there's a there's a there's a short French phrase that I remember from high school so we're talking like 1986 87 somewhere in there

and we thought it was hilarious today I would never say this and try to be funny about it but it's all I can think about it's the only one in my head so I'm going to say it because I remember somebody saying how do you say late

in French oh okay And we said, I don't know how do you say it. And they came back with the answer. And again, I want everyone to understand. I'm only, this is an old thing. We were kids. I was an idiot.

All right. So that's just as long as all of that's clear, the answer was, I believe, pronounced N retard. Okay. Ah, okay. Yeah, I don't know how common that's going to be or whatever. It probably is going to be wrong. It's just all I have left.

It's all I have left. Sure, sure. Yes. All right. Show me what's got just. said. Show me what's got to said. That's the best thing I've heard.

Oh, man. Yeah. Show me what Scott said? I got to look it up, make sure that's still real. Yes, if it's real. I'm not even seeing anybody saying that one, I think. Yeah, here it is. You're late.

Two S. N retard, rendezvous. Probably, that's another one probably where you don't pronounce the last consonants, right? So, En Rital. Yeah, probably, yeah, I'm sorry. Zero chance, I'm saying it correctly. All the French I know is contained within Beauty and the Beast songs. Hold on, madame. Well, congratulations, Stephanie, you won.

Let's go down the rest of these wonderful items here. Number three, omelette du frommage, which is a couple of comedy references, Dexter's laboratory. It's an omelette with cheese. But also Steve Martin had it in his... That's right. His bit. Yes, I know a little French. Omelet de frommage. Listen, everyone loves to know how to swear in foreign languages.

So number four, mad. Oh, meared. Really? Shit. Man, shit. I didn't know that. Yeah, I did know that, and I forgot. No idea.

Number six. Suckreblee. Oh, man. Oh. Oh, that we should have got that Sacra Blue. Number eight. Sacred Blue?

If you're hungry, Quastol. Yes. Wow. It's not really a burger game. They've got those. That's not only phrase as much as this a statement. It's a favorite French word or phrase is the question.

It's a noun. Oh. Yeah. You're right. It's a noun. Word. It's an item. I was going to be very disappointed in me that I didn't get quesel because I say.

that all the time. Here's one that I'm guessing you don't say a lot. Number nine. Menageretre. Ah, menageretre. That's where I thought you were going, Scott, when you started saying, all right,

I just want to clarify that I don't say this. That I wouldn't have trouble with. The other one's just very insensitive. Not nice because we were all laughed. It's like the R word. We were idiots. Anyway, whatever. Number 10 has got this certain something

I just can't put my finger on. It's Geneseecois. Ah, man. All it would have taken is that. If I'd have gotten that one, I would have won. You needed two of them. You needed two answers. Once it came back with them having 15, you needed two answers to be able to compete.

Some other ones from the list, baguette, Tabernac, which I think is Quebec-Cla-F-bomb, Dejavu, Ula-Lah, someone just said, 11 people just said French fries is their favorite. I was your fridge fries. Yeah. Lo-hagen fruit. Je nese-pa, which is different from Genesee Croix. It's just I don't know versus I don't know what. Merci.

A revoir. Comsi-com-s-s-a. Formage. Pardon my French. Simplei. Tuchet. I'm surprised Tuchet didn't, wasn't hired. Zoot a law is another one.

Anyway, pomplammeuse Is that a French word? It probably is. It's a French word. It's grapefruit. I didn't know that. Yeah. Patreon.

Oh, that's not. Petriol. Patreon. All right. Well, well done. Stephanie, these games are now yours. And you need to email Brian. I know you have his address, but here it is anyway.

Coverville at gmail.com. And he'll hook you up. And I think you did great today. You and Brian, you know, certainly did better than I did. So congratulations. And oh, I got to play the official thing. Hold on. This is for his, oh, here it is. This is, you know what this is? This is for Christine Fletcher because she always likes to hear it. Congratulations. You're a winner. Good job. You've won. You are the winner. And we hope that you get to play again someday and win again. Hey, Brian, well done. Good job. And, you know, listen, yesterday, I got to say out loud, we had a great time doing the play retro show. And the reason was is you got two guys who really like a, old stuff who loves sitting around talking about the Sega Dreamcast and how it was just

about the best thing Sega ever did and sadly, the last thing they ever did in hardware. So if you want to hear all about that and the highs and lows of the Sega saga, the saga of Sega. Oh, we should have called it Sega saga. Yeah, but what we think of it?

I know. Well, look, in hindsight is 20. That's what we need votes. Yeah, votes. We should start doing titles. We should start doing titles. Well, then they're too long and it's It sucks, and it's hard to understand. Anyway, the point is, people should check it out. Go check out that show. Wherever you get your podcast, that's Play Retro, is where you can find.

It's also archived up on the YouTube channel and everything you can find at frogpans.com slash Play Retro. Hey, Brian, anything else going on in your life that you'd like to mention? No, if you're going to hang up on me. No, I'll, and you're good. Tell me, what are you doing? What you got stuff? You've been streaming every night, you got things. What are you doing?

Every night, 6 p.m. Eastern Time. Come on by. Twitch.TV for us. That's Brian Dunaway. Okay. That sounds great. No. Okay. He's just, he really was waiting for me to hang up on him. He really was. And it's totally fine. He was right to do that. He was right to do it. Yep.

All right, you guys. Well done, everybody. Now this. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Time to do some quick news. Brought to you by. Brought to you by America's next top podcaster. The editing challenge judging is now up. So if you want to hear how everyone did on editing, not just a bunch of rough and I mean rough audio into a podcast.

We gave them an even tougher constraint. They had to make an episode of Hammond's podcast beyond the playlist, which means they already had a set of constraints built into this challenge that they had to adhere to. Find out who won and find out who went home. It's right. It's up there now. Anywhere you get your podcast, America's Next Top Podcaster, or visit America's Next Top Podcaster. Nice.

So we got a problem. A woman. Oh, no. Yeah, a woman. No particular, well, she's a Texas woman, but we don't, you know. Okay. Not a Florida woman. No, we don't have a thing for Texas women. A Texas woman was charged.

Sorry, Texas women. I guess we don't have a thing for you. Sounds weird. She was charged with a felony after spitting on a corpse in a casket at a funeral home. Oh, my. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Wow. Not a fan of the deceased, I suppose.

Apparently not. She was charged with a felony. I didn't know that was a felony. After spitting on a corpse at a funeral home at doing a viewing, according to arrest records, according to the arrest affidavit. Laurie Lynn Hines, age 51, walked into a funeral home in Tyler, Texas on November 29th, walked straight up to the casket, and then spit on the corpse. Oh, geez.

Patui, she says. But a great big patooie on the dead. A witness on the scene said Heinz had animosity toward the family of the person in the casket. Really, you don't say. Weird. Jeez. Did it take a room full of detectives?

I would like to know the story. What more? Like, you know what Now Next Wife or something like that just said We don't know any Glad you did We don't know any other dirt on it Unfortunately

She just says that she was arrested And somebody came up and teabagged them They actually got the warrant in January But didn't arrest her until the fifth of this month Oh wow I don't know what happened there She let's see She had state jail felony abuse of a corpse

Didn't know that was a felony That's crazy Yeah She posted $2,500 bond the next day and it's all pending trial so yeah don't spit on the corpse yeah i feel like that's for the dead come i feels like that's a little much to have that be a felony because the dead don't care the guy lay in there he don't care if you spit on him he doesn't he's not there he doesn't know yeah although i mean should it be a felony though a felony yeah felony does seem a little bit rough right

like misdemeanor i get it uh making a ruckus what do you call that uh distracting the public disturbance Yeah, something like that, but like a felony? I don't know. Oh, looking at this lady, too. Geez. Yeah, she looks pissed. She looks like somebody'd spit on a corpse. She does, right?

She looks like a corpse spitter. If I've ever seen one. That's the sound that I picture her making. I spit on your corpse. Maher. All right. Elon Musk in the news? Not really.

His daughter's in the news. she's disowning him oh yeah and has filed to ditch his name uh Elon Musk is a very divisive public figure says this article on yahoo.com who rarely the one that just got named x squared umbrella cum quad or something right no this is one of the those are his new kids young to disown him yet yeah these are his new his new kids have those math names this is a this is the oldest kid I guess he's got like 10 kids or something oh really Really? Holy cow.

He's got a bunch of them spread all over the place. Everybody's been pregnant with one of his kids. Wow. Rarely shies away from a dispute. Someone can correct me on that number. I have no idea what the total is, but it's high. Anyway, it's coming from a family number. Eight, yeah, there you go.

The Tesla founder's transgender daughter has filed court documents in Los Angeles County to change her full name. Yes, dropping Musk for good and legally declare her gender identity. These aren't your ordinary court papers, according to TMZ, who obtained the documents. signaled a rift between father and daughter. I'm not going to mention the name because the old name, because I was informed that there's a term for that called dead naming. Dead name, yeah. And people don't like it, so I'm not going to do it,

even though I didn't know that before today. The filing states that Wilson, who turned 18 in April, has a very clear reason for the name change, writing gender identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form. so there it is in black and white it says there's some sort of dispute going on between them so whatever there you go wow family dispute with helon musk yeah so the one the newer newest one is the x a a a dash x i i yeah there you go then he's also got another daughter named nevada or

maybe son nevada alexander griffin musk exa dark side reel damien musk kai muh I'm sorry, side rail? Exa dark side rail. Okay, exudite SARS side rail will also be in court one day. Demanding to change their name. This is another one with grimes. Grimes against humanity. Here we go.

The absence of, I guess, Exa comes from the exa flops, supercomputing term. Okay. And the dark is the absence of photons, I guess. wow this is I feel like none of this is going to be great on all their psyches I mean they might all have tons of money and maybe that's enough for some people

but I feel like having a good father relationship is more important than money personally yeah oh sidereal is that or sidereal sidereal still bad nice tomato thank you sidereal

that's still bad still bad way better than side rail she's going to get called side rail yeah yeah I have a coffee I have an extra hot latte for side rail

side rail Is there a side rail here I yell side rail Nobody come I hang up Yeah All right I have a I have a cappuccino here

For the The 11th item in the periodic table Of the elements Yeah It's a weird thing to do that to your kids I don't know why you do it I mean it's this weird assumption That they're never going to be anything

But a little baby who doesn't care Like, I don't know. It's weird. Who else did the weird ones? Was it Bruce Willis? Just ask Apple Paltrow or... Yeah, whoever all these... Hollywood, man.

Hollywood and rich people. What are you doing? Just name him Jacob. I mean, you know, worked for Zappa and his kids. They embraced it. They grew up in a weird family, so it just kind of been... It was fine to be moon unit and dweasel and... Well, and word on the road there was that he was a super cool dad and was really good to his kids.

Yeah. So that probably helps. But I'm guessing, here's what Elon Musk does the best I can tell, okay? Nothing to do with his business acumen or his smarts or his billions or any of that. Don't care about any of that for a minute. Just, I think he just walks in, deposits his seed, and leaves. Like, I don't think there's a lot else going on. I mean, you never see him with these kids.

Right. He's not, I mean, I can't judge because I'm not there, but I just, it doesn't feel like he's involved. So the difference there is, if you're going to name your kid, moon, but then also be a good dad and hang out with him, they'll probably embrace their name. Exactly, yes. Freaking moon unit. It was a Zowie Bowie. Oh, Zowie, yeah, and he changed his name to, uh, what do you change his name to?

He's the director, right? It's the, yeah, uh, Deacon, Deacon Jones, no, uh, Deacon. Deacon. Deacon. Is it not, is it Duncan Jones? Duncan Jones. He changed his name to Duncan. And I would have, too. That's Zowie or whatever. That's a bad name. Yeah.

Yeah. And he loved his dad. But even in that case, you know. You're not going to get taken seriously and in a directing career maybe if your name is Zawi. Right. When we named my daughter Taylor at 3 o'clock in the morning, we spelled it like the guy who does your suits. With an eye. Yeah.

And then realized our mistake. It's just because we were tired. We weren't thinking. Sure. And we realized our mistake and we go running down to the lady. we're like oh we screwed up we screwed up they charged us for that they made us repay for that really was that the 50 bucks that was it was about 50 bucks then i don't know what it is now but it pissed me off because we were just you know drunk with baby we weren't thinking straight we do found power

i have created life we had successfully created life that day i didn't know what we were doing and then when we named car i mean every parent tries to get a little creative we named carter after a a female lawyer on some episode of the Outer Limits, I think it was. And we just thought, oh, that's such a cool name, first name for a girl. Let's do it. Let's do it. I don't know. I could have screwed that up.

What if the next big serial killer was named Carter or something, you know? You don't know. Right. Yeah, exactly. You know, Adolf was probably a really popular name in the 30s and early 40s. Yeah. But in 1994, when Taylor was born, they made us jump through some hoops and pay some money. It sucked.

She's in the chat room. I think she's joking that, yeah, you initially spelled it C-A-R-T-O-R. C-T-O-R-T-R. Yeah, I like that. More like a he-man villain. Right, exactly. That's pretty good. All right.

Well, that's it for the news today. Tomorrow we'll do more, but now we take a break. And Tom Merritt prepares to come on the show right after this break and hang out with us. We could also get some recommendals today. I think Nicole is absolutely here today. As far as I know, we have not heard to the contrary. So that'll be fun.

And Randy will be joining us as well, each of us with a recommend all of our own. So good fun right around the corner. Before we do any of that, though, song from Brian Ibit. Okay, all right. Well, let's go to Nashville for this one for a band called Band of Silver. This is a three-piece made up of Avery Silvernagle and her younger brother's Alex and Evan. She's on vocals, and these guys are backing her up on drums and guitar, drums and keyboards. The band is called Band of Silver

This is a brand new sing I'm sorry This is their previous single They have a brand new single That we don't have yet That comes out Friday Called Maybe Next Time Comes out Friday

But while you're waiting for that one Here's another one that came out this year Called Chasing a Stranger Here's Band of Silver Oh Oh You're on the brown again She's a lonely

afraid Oh, sip through your fingertips. Now she's running away I take her to the dream while she's losing sleep The girl should never be But it's all you need We're sick and dark routine

Now she's run so far She's not herself You're chasing a stranger You thought you could change her But now you're in danger Losing how you loved at the start You're chasing a stranger She just wants an open mind

But you're stuck in your ways You obsessed to play God Lodd her into a fake I take her to the dream While she's losing sleep The girl should never be But it's all you need We're sick and dark routine

Now she's run so far She's not herself You're chasing a stranger You thought you could change her But now you're in danger Losing how you loved at the start You're chasing a stranger You thought you could change her

So why would you wager Everything while hoping for more You're chasing a stranger So far gone she's never coming back Keep on running till he fakes the black You're chasing a stranger So why would you wager Everything while hoping for more

You're chasing a stranger A stranger You thought you could change her And now you're in danger Losing how you loved at the star Oh yeah You're chasing a stranger You thought you could change her

So why would you wager Everything wrong For more You're chasing a stranger As far as these boys are concerned Well, hamburgers and hot dogs are their idea of a really good meal All right, great, and who do you think should be the next Spider-Man?

The Morning Stream, because knowing is half the battle All right, we're back, everybody. Hey, hey, Brian, remind me who that was. Yeah, that was the band Band of Silver from an EP they released, just released this earlier this year called Chasing a Stranger. That's the title track of the EP. But get ready for a brand new single, getting released on Friday called Maybe Next Time.

Very nice. They seem busy. They got stuff to do things, though. Cranking out the music and good music. Don't say that for sure. Yeah, nothing wrong with that. All right, we're going to get all Merritty up in here, and we're going to play this to start it off. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man.

That man is Tom Merritt, and he joins us now from Los Angeles, California, to talk about technology on this beautiful Wednesday morning. Tom, welcome back to the show. Yeah, I barely made it in, Brian and Scott, because there was the weirdest thing happened. someone was spraying a liquid all over my neighborhood this morning. Oh my. Wherever I looked, it was just coming from the sky. Oh, oh.

Oh, you got, yeah, you know, here, we call that rain here. Are you saying, wait a minute, I remember the song It never rains in Southern California. Are you saying it dead? I would say, I would say that's not incorrect, but when it pours, man,

it pours. That's great, though. You guys, it's good to get some water in the early summer, right? You guys want that. Yeah, it actually didn't even pour. It was like barely a sprinkle. Yeah. That's too bad. It was enough to wet the pavement.

Oh, that's good, though. Look, it's better than no. We need it. Every little drop. Every drop helps, exactly. Everybody dig out your lawns, go zero scape. Zero scape, sorry. I've now been told that I'm just saying it's wrong.

Zero escape. Yeah. Not zero escape. Zero escape. Nothing. That means that there is nothing on your. Zero escaping. Well, anyway, it's good to have you here.

And I'm sure some technology dropped along with that rain today. But what's going on out there? Yes, indeed. I'm glad you asked. The IKEA folks, you use the IKEA furniture ever? Sometimes. Yeah. Yeah.

Brian, you've got a few IKEA items there in the office. This item right here is IKEA. Yeah. The shelves I have behind me are you? Oh, this table I'm standing in front of is IKEA. I have a raising and lowering desk next to me that I don't use for much, except the puddings to crap on that's also from ikea is going to use that as a poll quote yeah why not put it on the box i i've billy the bookcase right behind me sure um i i i want to tell you about

their new app called creative launching soon in the u.s for iphone and available on their website uh it is better than ikea place uh ikea stands probably already know ikea place where you can take a piece of furniture look through your camera and then put it in your room. That is sticking around. They're not getting rid of that. But creative actually scans your room and allows you to delete

your own furniture to make room for the IKEA furniture. Really? Oh, that's cool. That's amazing. Yeah, I think even if I'm not buying their furniture, I want to... Well, I guess the things... Play around with it. Yeah, I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff in the app that it'll let me see what furniture would look best. Ooh, this is actually pretty

cool. Look at this. I'm looking at some some screenshots of this. Yeah, you know what? This has been my big complaint. Like when we talk about changing stuff in the basement, because we've been talking lately about, what if we took the carpet out and sealed the floor and did like a cool kind of cement floor idea of thing?

Or what if we changed the walls or did this or out of these pieces of furniture? And every time I walk in there, I'm like, well, this is impossible to imagine because look at everything that's here. Yeah, yeah. And this will let me do that. That's pretty rad. That's really cool.

Yeah, it's very cool. It works best on an iPhone with a LiDAR sensor. They don't have their Android app ready yet. They say that one will be coming later this summer. And if you use an iPhone that doesn't have LiDar, an older iPhone, or the web, you can still do it. It just won't have quite as much spatial detail. But with the LiDar sensor, you just stand in your room, you point it at five, they call them, targets. I assume it's the pieces of furniture you most want to move around or get rid of.

And it looks a little tedious. Apparently, TechCrunch says it takes about two minutes. And it feels like a golf lesson. They're like, keep your elbows in. Pivot at the wrist. But once you do that, it is really impressive because it takes that scan. You do a figure eight thing, which people who do AR are probably familiar with that. You upload that.

And then it creates your room. And you can go and like delete some or all of your furniture so that you can make way for trying out different pieces of IKEA furniture. And of course, save them to your account or put them in a shopping basket, whatever. You can share the designs with folks. Like you could share it with Kim if you want to collaborate on it. They even have an interior designer service apparently at IKEA you could share it with if you want to pay for that. But yeah, it looks pretty impressive. I can't wait to try it out myself just to kind of see. Could you use this app to like take a picture of your living room and then make your couch disappear and see if your keys fell back behind them.

I'm going to say no. I'm going to say no. Probably not. Darn it. Can you pick up the couch, turn it upside down and shake out all the change out? Not easily. Not at my age. French fry. Let me ask you this question. It doesn't appear to say it here.

So that's why I'll ask and maybe none of us know this. But will it let me change paint color in the room? Not yet. That is a feature they mentioned as coming. down the road. They want to be able to let you change the paint color of the walls. And they say they have some other features in the works. They've been beta testing this thing since April of last year, April 2021. So they've got lots of other features in the work to add to it as they go along. It's only available in the U.S. at launch, but it will be coming to other countries in

September. So yeah, probably by the end of the year, you'll be able to get it on Android. You'll be able to get it in lots of countries. And maybe they'll have added the paint color feature and some others. That'd be awesome. It's called, oh, go ahead, Brian. Oh, as you say, I'm excited about there, there's other things that they're working on, like a collaboration with Swedish House Mafia on a really cool looking turntable. Oh, really? I love Swedish House Mafia. I love that freaking group. They're great. No, I didn't know that. That's cool. There's also, there's also something in here about them introducing a home, let's see, IKEA to launch a new smart home hub and app. Yep. Oh, wow. That's the older news. It works for a while.

They really are on the cutting edge of wanting to be part of the smart home. In fact, they joined the Metaverse Foundation that was announced yesterday, along with Meta, NVIDIA, you know, because they want to make IKEA metaverse friendly so that you can go in and use IKEA items when you're building your Metaverse house eventually. So they are pretty forward thinking there. Well, I don't know, I find this super, super interesting. I mean, also, I find it interesting that they're this late to the game. Is that weird to feel that way?

I don't think they're late to the game. Why do you say that? Well, okay. So it just seems like, it seems like their focus on like modular, here's, you know, inexpensive but easy to assemble. And here's your house. And they're just, the focus of that company is so like on that, whatever that edge of cutting edge is of home decor. It just seems like we would have years ago heard them going. And we've got these four apps and we've got this website that'll do this.

And we've got a home hub and internet of things. We're all over it. Like, it just feels like they're a little late. I don't know why. I think because you haven't heard of what they've done. Because they have had lots of apps like IKEA Places. IKEA Place has been around for years. This is them taking advantage of that being on time, if not early, to the game.

Because no one else is doing this. Everybody else, Amazon, Wayfair, they all have the same thing as IKEA Place. where you can take a piece of furniture and put it in the room. IKEA is upping the game and saying, all right, what if you can actually delete the furniture in your room?

Nobody else is doing that. They've had smart home stuff for years. They were one of the first furniture companies to put out their own smart bulb. And I remember people kind of making fun of them, like, why is IKEA doing this? So I feel like they're ahead of the game, but your reaction makes me think

they're not good at making people aware of that. I was just going to say, maybe it's their marketing that sucks. and they're not good at letting me know what's going on. And maybe if I was in that store more often, I would see things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, like, it feels like this, I don't know, it feels like this stuff's new, but clearly it's not.

They've been working on it for a while. Yeah, if you look into place, you can see that creative is them trying to stay ahead of the game. At least that's why, the way I look at it. Well, it seems pretty cool. And I'm sorry, did you say a date for when this was hitting iOS? It's coming out now. I don't know if it's in the app store yet or if it'll be in the app store by the end of the day, but they're launching it now on iOS and the web.

I want to go try it. I might try it today. And if you have a, let's see, LIDAR's in the 11s up through 13s, right? I think I'll have to look that up. Yeah, I can't remember how far back. That sounds right off the top, but I wouldn't guarantee that off the top of my head. Yeah. Well, we'll see how it goes for them, hopefully pretty cool.

And also, Brian put a picture of this, this turntable they're collaborating on. That is so cool. It's simple, right? Like, it is a box with a cylinder, with a turntable sitting right on top of it that's kind of offset a little bit. Not a lot of

bills and whistles, but God, it is really there's something just nice about the simplicity of it. Yeah, it's just really clean. Do you? There you go, Brian. Or Tom, right there. Because the clock flig could be yours for just. I just bought one in 1982. Yeah. You just did. And it's already showing problems.

The Radio Shack I bought it at is no longer in business either. Oh, no, is he can't take it back. I can't take it back. Maybe you can take it to another Radio Shack. Oh, wait. Sorry. I have some bad news. Actually, I say that, but the Radio Shack I bought it at is still in business.

It's Willow the Wind Hobby Shop. They survived because they weren't just a Radio Shacks. Yeah, we have one here like that that's still. got the Radio Shack name on it, but nothing inside there is what Radio Shack used to be. It's a weird deal. If you owned it before they, I mean, there's a whole like franchisee thing. Some of them own more than they're supposed to. It's weird. But good luck to them and all their terrible stores. All right. Good luck on that. And later today, the daily tech news show happens at 2 p.m. Mountain Time. I'll be there. It's Wednesday. And I'm looking forward to talking

about this and many other stories that will be there on display. Tom, anything else you want to talk about mention? Yeah, lots. And I'll talk about it on my newsletter, folks. If you don't get enough of me on DTNS, DTNS is like, I don't want to pay for something if I don't have to. I just want a free podcast I can get on my podcast app where you tell me the news. That's great. That's why I do that. If you'd like a little more of my writing, a little more detail, a little more time to digest and parse what I'm saying about news, check out my substack. There is a free tier that gets you some of the articles for free, and then if you pay a little bit, you get more of them. So that's at TechTom, like TechTime, but Tom, TechTom.com. There you go. It's Tom Merritt, everybody. Aisdeck on Twitter.

Go poke him there. And we'll see you. Yeah, please. Poe me. Poe me. Poe. Poe, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke. All right, there goes Tom Merritt. Into the, end of the night. Into the ether. Yep. All right, now we're going to see if this is going to work. Okay. It's going to be a big room full of big people here. Hold on a second. This is a big collab about to happen right here. A big co-lab, although Nicole is not online, so I don't know what that means. We're going to find out if this works at all today. I know Randy's around.

Hi, Randy. Is that Randy? Good morning, morning stream. Oh, look. It's Randy here. Let's play a little of this. Oh, we're at it. Hey, it's nice to see you.

We're adding Nicole to this call as well, and it's ringing. She's not online. so let me see here I can talk Hey Brian Yes Randy You've been listening to Amel and the Sniffers lately I have not

Don't think I've ever listened to Amel and the Sniffers Okay Have I? Let me see here You say that You say that like Amel and the Snifers Is that a real band? You know like you just listed

Arcade Fire or the Beatles There's a reason The reason that the word lately Is important in that question Lately who is that? tell us more about this band Australian punk band They kind of just like came out of nowhere Maybe three four years ago

And they like started winning like Aussie music awards and stuff Um A woman woman lead singer led Her name is Amy And they are Or she is featured heavily in the new Videos for Junker Queen The new hero coming to Overwatch

Oh okay Okay No, that's, I'm going to hear it now. The Sniffers at all. Do they do covers or? I think they have a couple of covers. I haven't really, I haven't dug that far. I've just been listening to like their most popular songs on.

I never would have figured out how to spell that. So AMYL, I guess like you said, her name is Amy, probably, oh, no, Amy Taylor. I was going to say, maybe your last name is L and she just. No. I'd be happy to, I'd be happy to share a Lyft or an Uber with Amel, but I don't know about these sniffers. because you sniff amyl nitrate man oh oh i got you see how it is now all right and i'll uh i'll check him out you should i i i've like i say they it just kind of blew into my into my radar because of this video yeah i'm man i'm i've had too much coffee guys it's that's all right coffee is good

never not have it um all right so word back from nico she is at the doctor with uh with matteo but apparently it's just like a checkup and she forgot so So it's all good. They're still settling to their Missouri life change, and we'll get her next week. No big deal. Will this be funny if, like, every week we promise Nicole and she never shows up, like it becomes a bit? Well, so far, it's a three-week bit, so we'll see. So far it's a three-week bit.

Yeah, we'll see if we can keep this going. Brian, let's... Our apologies to... Let's the one that kept getting, was guitars for Fleetwood Mac, Lindsay Buckingham. Our apologies for Lindsay Buckingham. No time to talk to Lindsay Bucking. Jimmy Kimmel has been bumping Matt Damon for like 20 years. That became a great joke, and I hope they keep doing it forever.

Yes. All right. Hey, let's get to Brian's recommendal, a streaming service recommendal that you submitted here. Isn't anything to set up before I hit play? This is a movie, and you'll be able to tell from the clip how fun and lighthearted and breezy it is. All right, here we go. Some lighthearted breeziness. You'd behold your brother's geese in amazement.

I knew well you would. Pity you never paid a bastard's eyes heed before. Now, behold how swiftly your brother swings his sword. Strike. brother strike but know that bearing a stolen ring

makes no half-breed king soaked in my blood it will soon be sliding off your arm like a serpent your kingdom will not last

let this mistede hunt your living nights till the flaming vengeance gorges on your death. Strike. Oh, strike. Oh, Holy vocal fry. I was so,

I was just spending the entire time like, who is doing this vocal fry? Who is this man? That's Ethan Hock doing the vocal fry. The second half of that clip is Ethan Hock. He plays King Arr. This is a movie called The Northman, came out early this year. It's, you know, Vikings, beating the tar out of each other.

Yeah, it's the director of the Vivitch and the Lighthouse and all that. And he likes the Anya Taylor-Joy, so she is back for this film as well. This is, so this is a really stylized film. If you're, you know, it's not, it's not presented 100% like you would get a normal Hollywood film. Very frequently, the actors will look at you, the viewer, you know, direct, I, you know, I align right to the camera as opposed to looking slightly offside as they're talking to somebody. So that adds a lot of discomfort and kind of a, not off-putting, but kind of, you know, puts you on a little bit on edge.

it's also got Alexander Scarsgaard as your main guy One of the Scarsgaard brothers That's right He's Prince Amleth At the very beginning of the film So it's not a spoiler

It's even in the trailers And you heard it right there King Arvindill is getting killed by his bastard brother Who's wanting to take over his kingdom And his mom Nicole Kidman is also being captured by this whole thing

And so Alexander Scardgargar Well the young prince amlith escapes on a boat and vows that one day he'll come back he will avenge his father's murder he'll save his mother and he will take back his kingdom and kill the bastard brother um that's all i'm gonna tell you because the rest of the ride is beautiful like the filming in this the music is incredible randy i thought i thought a lot about you and i was listening to the score of this thing it's just absolutely amazing um it's uh it is a a beautifully shot heavy um incredibly well acted movie and um uh just so so so well done well that that dude makes nothing but visually striking arresting films that's what he is and uh i love i love his other work so i'm very excited this wasn't this wasn't even on my radar i just looked it up the music uh was composed by two people who this is their first credit on IMDB, both of them.

Oh, really? Oh, yeah, there it is Robin, Carolyn, and Sebastian Gainsborough. And it's, I, you know, so I'm excited just for that. Like, that's like, because oftentimes, some of the greatest composers for film, they come out of their bedroom. Like, they've just been, like, sitting with garage band, learning how to, you know, how to compose great music. And then they get their hands on an orchestra and I'm film.

And off we go. Claire will be happy to know a lot of this was shot in Northern Ireland also filmed in Iceland which explains why we also get a nice little cameo by Bjork She's one of those weird shaman type?

She is, yeah, she's a seer And I love those It's amazing when you see When you see her character come on screen You're like, oh my God, that's Bjork And what a perfect, what a perfect casting job for Bjork Yeah

you also get Willem Defoe an incredible he's kind of the what's I don't know what the Viking equivalent of the jester You know he's kind of a Viking himself Yeah he is yeah Well he is in real life you mean yes

Yeah he is a little bit of a Viking He's uh so he's also Well he was in the lighthouse it feels like This is one of those directors who likes to pull people around with him You know like cast based on previous experience It reminds me of like Alex Carlin and Ackner. Every time I look the guy up, I just can't believe that Willam Defoe is from Appleton, Wisconsin. Because it feels like he's from another planet.

Yes, it does. Yes, exactly. He's something that. He's striking. There's nothing that guy can do where I don't take notice. And William DeFoe or not, there was watching this, I couldn't help but think of the lighthouse. There's, you know, a lot of similarity in style, even though that's completely black and white. this is this is color but it's a very very stark because it's icy i see you know north yeah um

that director loves that he loves that motif yeah yeah he can't get enough of that i don't know what he's doing next but i'm i'm always down for there's like this group of directors right now he's one of them Alex garland's another one um just i can't think of the third guy really like anyway noah holly any of these people they make anything and i just get super stoked but they all have this one thing in common. They all have very distinct styles, and they drag actors they like through all their projects. Yeah, yeah.

Which is like a fun thing to watch. You know, it's like, oh. And on Frogger, apparently, we are going to talk about everything Scars Guard ever makes because of his underwear. We are. I really, I really bummed, though, that Florence Pew wasn't in this? Because

isn't she another one that he likes to work with? Isn't, um... No. She's not been in any of his movies that I know of. Oh, why am I thinking midsummer was his? That's the other, that's another one. No, that's the other guy. Oh, yeah. Him and Hereditary and Midsummer, that guy, I'll watch anything he makes.

Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Can't wait for his. Oh, I didn't realize. Okay. Eggers did do the lighthouse. Duh, no wonder. Okay.

Yeah. Oh, right down iron light. Sorry, everybody. I got to put the light up. No, no. I mean, I brought up the lighthouse earlier. I didn't realize that you talked about the director. You brought director a certain actors through.

I had earlier said he is the director. I didn't make the connection that you said that he brought Willam Defoe through because of that movie. Yeah, I'd actually said the words he directed the lighthouse before, but it's okay. It's all right. You're into it. You're flying. You're letting fly.

It's okay. It's all good. We all do it. Apparently, I need to have to pour myself some more coffee and let you talk for a while, Scott. Go for it. We, uh, I take it where this is streaming, by the way. It's on peacock. Oh, it is.

I thought it had to be rented. That's good to know. Yeah, if you have the, and I don't know if it's the free, you know, you get ads at the very beginning of it. So I don't know if it's part of freecock. if it's only the paid peacock. Okay. Okay, I don't,

you can never say that again. What, Freecock? We say it all the time. Please don't ever say it. No, no, no. Freecock. You got to get Freecock, Randy, or buy the paid one. Freecock is the best service on the planet.

You got to get it. It's kind of a redundancy. I was convinced to watch this by a different review a few days ago. And I didn't realize that I don't ever think about Peacock. And I just went to look at it like when I was like $20. Oh, no, I'm not going to, I'm not going to spend $20 to follow a recommendation. I might, I might spend $20 if like, you know what I mean? If it's like everything, everywhere at once, like, if it's like that kind of recommendation where everyone I know is telling me to watch it.

Yeah. But, yeah, so I'm really, really glad that you, that you found it, you know, free. In a relatively freeish state, yes, exactly. So as the, real quick on that soundtrack, does it? Yeah. um it sounded great in this clip it did you do you think it fit and was good and like these new people got chops absolutely yeah incredible score like i'm not usually i'll notice a score if it's really bad or if it's really good so usually a score will scoot right past me because it's you know it's it's

adequate or it's it's appropriate to the to the thing the score in this one was so good i'm like i i had to uh you know had to bring it up as a as a uh incredible part of this that's cool Cool. And the Anya Taylor Joy role, is it significant? It's very significant. She's in this quite a bit. I'm in, dude. She is also from another planet. She is from the same planet as well? At least in her case. At least in her case, she's from Florida.

Like I can kind of accept that she's from Florida. That makes sense. I don't know. I mean, it is sometimes a foreign planet, but I understand what you mean. I didn't know that. I always think she's from Europe or something. I don't know why I think that. It's a very European way. She just does an incredible job doing accents. Yeah. Well, and she's...

And I don't know if you specifically suggested the witch all along through this, but people need to go watch that movie. I still haven't watched the Vovic. Yeah, you should see the Vovic. The Vovic is amazing. I hear that's by the same director. Yeah, same director. I'm just saying, you do need to watch it.

Yeah. Fantastic film. The witch is really good. It's very unsettling and scary. and a cut above your typical, like, that kind of horror movie. That's one I have to watch without Tina, so it's going to be a solo watch, which usually means late at night.

Oh, it's the worst time, yeah. Like, would you, I, it makes me think of two other movies, right? It makes me think of Blair Witch, for some reason, and the village. The village, not even close, nothing like this movie. It's just like the way it looks, you know what I mean? The way it looks. Yeah, yeah.

And so I was just curious, like, would you, Would you have sat and watched Blair Witch with Tina? We did watch Blair Witch. Okay. And she hated it because I'm not hated it, but she was freaked out the entire time, scary, scary wise. Oh, you got me with the village that got. You should have said the willage. It needs to, you need to go backwards from.

The village. Yeah, there you go. It needs to be the opposite. All right. Well, that's a good recommendation. I cannot wait to see it. It's been on my list for a long time. Totally my gym.

I expect you'll love it, Scott, just based on how much you like things like Gladiator and just stuff of that, of that ilk. I just said vice versa. And it made me realize, oh, man, there's a tadpoli feud coming here. What's your favorite Latin word, or phrase? Yeah, vice. Oh, I'll fail that one. No spoilers, Randy.

No spoilers. All right. I will fail that one miserably. All right, here's mine. This is a Netflix documentary. And I will now play a clip for it. Here you go. After I found out the truth about Warren, I realized that my whole life was a lie.

Everything I was told to believe or thought, I felt so betrayed and so angry. Because I loved God. I loved this prophet so much. And I said in my mind, I am never going back. That was the turning point once I said that in my brain. I never questioned it again. And by damn, I was not letting my children go back to that. Okay. This is some dark business.

So I'm only going to recommend this to be. You don't have to say, we know, we know. This is all you watch. You watch dark business. I like dark business. I don't know why. I like dark business. I did watch Toy Story 2 and Bug's Life with Van over the weekend.

Oh, well, there we go. It probably was a good balance to this. It was, yeah. Because this was pretty dour. So it's a documentary on Netflix, I think, is very well done. It's extremely well done documentary. Netflix tends to have some of these. They have some garbage too, but they have some pretty good docs.

This one is called Keep Sweet, Pray, and Obey. And it is all about Warren Jeff's and the fundamentalist cult, basically, that he ran. It was a split off from the Mormon church from years ago that is, that we're like, no, we're keeping polygamy. We like it. It's good. We like all these wives or whatever. Okay. So it's them and their whole story.

Now, if you don't know the story of Warren Jeffs, the guy's currently serving a hundred-year prison sentence in Texas for a bunch of horrible crimes that I won't name by... Mostly statutory rape. Mostly, well, I wouldn't even call... I need to look at the exact charges, but it's understating it to call it statutory rape. It is some of the worst.

I'm just saying what sticks and put you in prison forever. Right, exactly. That particular charge. Yeah, and Texas has some real strong laws on this stuff, so that's why they got him real hard over there. We, we, we, we, we, he was in, he was on trial in Utah as well. Um, and there were charges pending in Arizona. There's this whole thing about Utah, Arizona and Texas, Texas mainly because that's where

they kind of ended up. It was where their secret compound was. And boy, is this thing frustrating because it's, there are a bunch of really nice people who think they're doing the right thing by following this dude. And he is a legit. psycho like legitimately a horrible horrible horrible human being and but does i mean right out of the gate i want to know does this does this include him speaking honestly what do you mean like so like remember the uh what was the mllm doc uh where where the leaders of the oh the clothing people

Lula Rich? Lula Rich. Yeah, that was like they're they sit and speak honestly for and it's like whoa documentaries are different now like we're not we're not having to make a case we're just letting them talk like do we get like Warren Jeff's

speaking? Oh yeah we get a bunch of stuff although most of it is like some prison footage where he he has a bunch of these you know these followers come to talk to him through the glass you know like you know an episode of Breaking Bad or something where he's on the other side in his jumpsuit and he's like acting like he's talking to God right then and going,

write this down. The Lord is telling me to doba do, do, ba dab, dib, do. And he tells him all these things they're supposed to do. And so there's a bunch of that. There's times where he's just speaking. There's the audio that got him, that really put him in prison, which was they, I don't even want to describe this part, but basically they have audio of him doing the most heinous thing I've ever heard in my life.

And they all thought it was just perfectly fine. and it was perfectly evil and he's it's terrible now you're hearing me say this and nobody's going wow sky really selling this thing I think these kinds of documentaries are important when there's like massive horrendous abuse of any kind I think shining a light on it matters and I think it makes a difference or it can make a difference and in this particular case understanding the motivations of people around him but him in particular and then hearing the stories of those who survived it who got out, who have, who have, you know, taking their lives back, I think that stuff's valuable. I think it's really important.

And it is mostly from the perspective of everybody from direct victims to just those who were there and didn't want to be there to what it's like to truly understand oppression and why sometimes it's hard to escape it when everyone on the outside says it's easy. I'll just leave. No big deal. Get out. It's not that easy. And so this gets into the psychology of why it's not that easy. So I guess it sounds like you're saying these are, this is both entertaining. That's a really, I'm really putting a lot of weight on that word like it's not the right word. But this is both entertaining. You know, like you watched it because you felt like it was time well spent. But you also feel like it's important. You want you want a lot of people to see this kind of thing. Yes. Because it could lead to those who are adjacent to ongoing. crimes and issues it could lead to them doing something yeah i feel this way about a lot of these kinds of documentaries you may you know if you're looking at the history of my recommendals i i watch these frequently and the lula rich thing is not that different although it's form of victimizations different like it's you know it's mostly financial and yeah and corporate and you know that sort of thing um but but in a similar way this sort of stuff just feels important so that you know

We live in a society now where we can document in ways we've never been able to before. And so being able to expose truth in that way, I think is really important. And yeah, some people would argue, well, one man's truth is another man's lie, blah, blah, blah, I get it, whatever. I don't want to get in that complicated argument. I just think this particular documentary and those like it are really valuable to people who might still be in those situations or at the very least for people just to understand what the hell. happen like we all heard about it in the news warren jeff's leader of the thing now in prison for berber but we do we really know what the hell is going on i remember you might say do we need to know i don't know if you need to know but you may want to know anyway

like i remember the morning that it broke like i was watching like good morning america and they were live on the scene walking people in long sleeve dresses in west texas out you know out of a compound out in the desert and they were coming to like the the local county courthouse and stuff. Oh, man. And I remember, like, thinking, oh, great, you know, they got them. Like, I don't even, I don't know who the, um, is, but they got them. See, now, this is interesting.

When you, if you watch this, they covered that event of when they went and did that and the shots you're thinking of with all these people in the dresses and stuff. What that turned out to be was child protective services were going to go out there and get the kids out pending the investigation because they were hearing about abuse and they wanted to, you know, keep these kids safe. That was kind of their directive. So they went out there to do it and they thought they were going to walk away with, like, 10 kids.

There were 300 something children there because you're talking about men with 32 wives and 28 kids and, you know, like, plural marriage means tons of kids. That's like the result of a plural marriage. And so they were overwhelmed, like the Texas Department of Child Services didn't know what to do. they're like what are we even supposed to do here so they end up having to return the kids because there was nothing else you couldn't you couldn't place them anywhere you know there weren't they weren't set up to handle it so there's a lot of complication there and you kind of get into like some of what could the government do to better handle these sorts of things when they

come up and and all the sort of thing but at the end of the day it's really a portrait of power and abuse and it's i just think it's important so check it out it's called keep sweet pray and obey and it's on Netflix and it's I want to say four episodes pretty quick watch doesn't overstay it's welcome and I'm sorry I didn't I don't actually I didn't get an answer to my first question which is is this a documentary or is this a bunch of actors reenact or like actors saying no actors people all real people the whole it's a documentary it's nothing but people being interviewed who were there people who are involved archival footage of Warren Jeffs

and other people saying shit like it's it's a people okay okay yeah it's a true documentary it's not like reenactments of any kind of not saying that's bad it's it's that you can go either way right well I'm saying it's good reenactments usually drive me crazy I can't stand those usually usually those are like today

on America's most wanted you know I don't know sometimes they're spectacular dude sometimes sometimes it's bad um all right Randy I got a clip here for you. I have no idea because I've forgotten what you're watching. So any setup? Um, just a, uh, a movie that I saw the night it came out, um, a few years ago. It is, uh, on streaming right now. And I feel like we missed, we kind of missed a boat here. And I want to

talk people into watching this because, um, it's a really good movie. It's not just, it's not just what you think it is. If you haven't seen this movie. It's not just what you think it is. This is a really good movie. This little clip here, and I couldn't, I couldn't figure out what clip to pull. So I just pulled a kind of random thing. This clip here is, so the movie is about some middle schoolers. And they're coming together over the summer.

It's a bunch of boys that are sort of like the movie portrays them as all being oppressed. You know, like they're nerds, they're, they're geeks. They're, you know, finding their way together. and a girl who is also mistreated by her classmates has kind of begun to hang out with these boys and one of the boys is talking to the girl. Okay, here we go.

It's not sure you know what they see about me. There's only ever kissed by one guy. It's a long time ago. It's a nice kiss, though. January embers. was that in the play no it's a poem oh

I don't really know poetry oh I was just um just so you know I never believed any of the rumors

and none of it was Losers do We like hanging with you Thanks You shouldn't think it's too much Hang out with us makes you a loser too I can take that It seems lovely

What is it A whole bunch of boys And exactly one girl That is exactly right That is it That is the first of two movies based on the Stephen King book It, directed by Andy Musgetty.

How come I don't remember that scene? That's weird. So this is why I'm recommendaling it. Going back and watching it a second time, my memory of seeing it when it came out was, oh, this is a good movie. This is, you know, this is good, like a good rendition of the book,

specifically the first half of the book. And I really, you know, like I really enjoyed it. But I remember thinking all about, the villain the supernatural aspects and so forth and for some reason i just completely missed this is a coming of age movie about a bunch of kids and really the the you know scary clown is sort of a subplot right and like i oh man i had it backwards and and i'm just like so glad that i rewatched it it it's on hbo right now uh so is both do you know are both that's all i was going

not only not only is it and it part two on hbo um stephen king's it which is like the 20 year old thing that's also on hbo limited tv series right yeah don't make your mistake and watch that crap it's stephen king's it is not good oh it's got john boy in it though i know i know it's got uh dr frankinforter too hey but this one's this one's got fin wolfhard from stranger that's true right um that was actually sophia lily talking to Jaden Martel she hasn't really hit it big just yet

although I guess if you're the only girl in the world and you know a movie as big as it you're you've hit it big um Jaden Martel was in Knives Out after this and he is oh what was that defending Jacob I think yep he was

Jacob Barber in defending Jacob yeah and he is currently working on the newest remake of the Lost Boys so that's interesting Oh, yeah. Really? They're doing, I didn't know they were doing that.

Anyway, the thing is, Scott, you haven't seen this movie, right? You haven't seen it? No, I have not. No,

I have seen it. I saw it in theaters, but I don't, I don't remember that scene. Okay, I know, because I'm telling you, like,

maybe you were like, I don't know if it does something to your brain when you're watching this for the first time, but it really, I was really amazed at how much of this movie

is a Stephen Spielberg, middle schoolers coming of age movie. It is so, much about their you know these kids finding each other and all of their different idiosyncrasies and ticks and so on you know and like uh just like the the glory of summertime when you're at a a crew of kids running around out in public you know doesn't um um i can think he was name all the sudden barry um uh crap bill hater isn't he play old he plays the old version of oh yeah he does yeah in chapter two yeah yeah and uh that movie doesn't really cut it for me the second one probably

because this movie this movie it the first part has a lot of story to tell and it gives you a conclusion you know you like you have a beginning middle and end and then like the second part is like and then 20 years later the same thing and you're like no i i just you just finished you know yeah yeah so maybe maybe if you put some time between them maybe if you watch part one and then watch part two later yeah i i haven't not seen two so i probably ought to do that just for closure but um yeah yeah i remember at the time hearing part one was really great part or you know i knew part one was good but also the reviews were better and then the reviews for two weren't that great not as good i still i liked it but yeah it definitely wasn't as good

part one. That's a bum. Andy Musquetti, if that name is slightly ringing a bell, these movies really put him on the map, and then he got the job as the director of the Flash. That is still coming.

Oh, the Flash movie, yeah. That's a boy, talk about a fraught situation. Yeah, every three minutes at Ezra Miller's, or not Ezra Miller, Ezra Miller, is that his name? He's the Flash. He keeps doing, stupid stuff in public. I know, exactly.

Let's see if he ever makes it to be the flash if he keeps... Yeah. Like I said, you gotta feel sorry for Andy Muskeetti if this film somehow gets, you know, just put on a shelf somewhere and never released. Because the guys, I mean, it demonstrates, the guy's a really good director. He's, he's

really, like, getting these performances out of, you know, teenagers is always impressive. I think it's hilarious that both of you recommended movies today that had a Scarsguard brother in it. Just the it, the it, the clown and then, uh, your, your main dude in the, man, Northman. Couldn't be more polar opposites.

Yeah. And, um, I mean, if you, if you need convincing to watch it on horror level, Bill Scarsguard is incredible. He is, hell. Yeah, he is just, he is otherworldly. I, I've, I said that about, uh, other people earlier in the show. But seriously, he is, he is just, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, transformative there's nothing like it yeah i wish even know like you think they'll ever do a movie where it's those two brothers or all the prominent brothers and then the dad who was in mccu and a million other things uh uh played um what's his name in dune big nasty oily oily guy anyway i can't think it was name harconin uh they should have all those guys in one movie it's gonna get a whole

thing like back when the uh jeff and beau bridges were in that one thing together let's let's do that with the scar guard scars guards he's a isn't he the brother of peter sarzgard no he's a he's a different scars guard different yes yes and we're talking about the sons of stella and scars guard yes stella he's awesome dude but just imagine their home movies right like they're like yeah they all dress up as minions and and uh pretty i don't know i don't know what they do in their home movies you don't know what they do i don't either but i like that you've given you've assigned them the minions costumes that's great because it would be funny you can go buy that costume and get all the scars guards in one it's good all right well these are all fine recommendations

i think and um the world would be better by watching them all so a very diverse list today nobody did anything close to each other this is great no no so check it out if you want to find postings of this brian puts these up on an awesome little website called quicktms dot l i they're already there even yep so go check those out and um of course randy puts some smears them all over the place with his Twitter and Discord and yeah you can't Twitter you can't you can't miss them no everywhere it's impossible Randy deluxe all those places yeah we got we're gonna watch an episode of Baywatch on film sack guys yeah well Brian's out riding making making good work done for for fighting MS we're gonna watch we're gonna watch that it'll be weird because

you'll hear my voice as I'm watching I won't be able to explain why that's possible why you're hearing me talk about Baywatch while I'm out writing. But you think that for the 75 miles is impressive. Try doing it while you do an episode of Home Sack. I'm watching one episode of Baywatch. That was the difficult task. What I can't stop thinking about is so we chose this episode of Baywatch because it's super early in the series.

It's like the third episode ever of Baywatch. And you do that so that if we later in our future decide to watch more episodes of Baywatch, right, we can have some sort of continuity. Like we'll watch one that came after this. And I just love that I love that thinking because it's like who in their right mind would put themselves through this multiple times. Yeah. Yeah. Why would you? Well, anyway, that's happening this weekend. Check it out. Baywatch. Hasselhoff at his best at his prime, some might say. Shut up Knight Rider fans. I know. Oh, I love the Hoff. Yeah, the Hoff is great. Anyway, it's a good time and real stupid and we had a great laugh. So check that out this weekend. And we'll be back with a regular one next week. And of course, more recommend.

next Wednesday. Randy, thanks for hanging out with us, man. Anything else you want to say? Let's see. I... Bye. All right. I got him. All right. Hey, you guys. Check it out. It's the end of the show. And what do we do at the end of the show? Well, we read a quick email. That's what we do. Hey, Sulu and Bortis. What's Bortis? Is that a track character?

That's a character from the Orville. Oh, I got to watch the Orville, Dad. Yeah. Your original Recommendal. maybe not but yeah right and then randy did the new the new series uh last week yes he did enough people are telling me it's time i got off the can or took a poo or however the old shit or get off the pot there you go that's what i meant to say says i'm pretty sure you both have paramount plus as do i uh something we have recently discovered is that they have fantastic documentaries

check them out tony from buffalo well tony oh he also wants a list not to test the ship's phasers Hold on. I can do that real quick. Let's test the ship's phasers. There you go, Tony. I'd love recommendation and specifics, though. I don't know which ones he means. It's like, all right, well, thank you for that start.

There is something called Consul Wars, but that wasn't originally Paramount Plus. No, but I've always wanted to see it and never have. I should check that out. 76 days, Ascension, American Teen, Mighty Trains. Yeah, I'd love some recommendations for actual, you know, for the ones we should check out. Please do.

That would be wonderful. Oh, look at this. Yeah, this is 2020s console wars. I heard about it, didn't see it, want to see it. Oh, I'm surprised. Yeah, wow. Because it's the whole thing. It was 1990.

Sega started gaming, a gaming company. No, sorry, started, what? Gaming Co. Whatever that means. Assembling a team to take on Nintendo, the world's greatest video game company. A make or break conflict. Pit brother against brother.

Sonic against Mario. an American capitalism against Japanese tradition. See, did I sell you on it? You're going to watch it now? You did. Oh, at least. I think I might have already watched it. Maybe not.

Maybe all of this I'm thinking is the games that made us or some other thing that I watch now that I think about it. Oh, that game. The Netflix phone was good. That was high score, was it? That was good. That was good. All right. Well, I'm going to have to watch all this shit.

Yeah, if you're not familiar with Varuka Salt, they are an amazing band, took their name, of course, from the character from Willy Wonka and the Chalka.

on the Chocolate Factory, or the character, I guess, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that became both movies, formed by Nina Gordon, who put out an incredible solo album and has an amazing single where she covers, not Boys in the Hood, it's a really foul-mouthed song and hearing her sweet voice covering this horribly foul-mouthed song. Nina Gordon's amazing. She's a hell of a singer and guitarist performer. One of the songs from that Verucah Salt album, American Thais, from 1994, was a hit single. It was a single that a lot of people might remember called Seither.

And indeed, what's that? I was just singing Seater. Keep going. That's right. And it was actually, I can't remember if it was, if it inspired the band to name themselves Seither, or if they, they named the song Seither after the band or whatever the case is.

So it was even bigger treat when the band, okay, the band Seather named themselves after the song. Let's hear a cover of it that they recorded. They included this on their greatest fits album, Seither, 2002 to 2013. This is actually a cover of Seither by the band, Seither, from

2013. That's amazing. All right. We'll be back tomorrow. Come back then. See, there is. loose nor tight I see there is neither black no white I tried to keep her on a short leash
