Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. That's the morning stream. It's Wednesday, July 20th, 2020. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian. Good morning. Brian.

Good morning, Scott. Nice to see you and have you and be near you and digitally look at you. I guess. Yes, well, thank you. And you as well, sir. Thank you. By the way, I forgot to show this yesterday because I left it upstairs, but I brought it down. I've been tempted about where to put this thing, but Brian sent me the coolest birthday gift, and I want to show everybody. So you all know, I don't, I can't shut up about how much I love joust.

It's my favorite arcade game of all time. And I could play it at the drop of the hat. You just say, hey, you want to play joust? Yes, is the answer immediately. And Brian, while he was at the pinball, or a pinball thing down in Texas, found this bobble freaking bobble ostrich i guess bobble ostrich i don't know how else to put it um carter thought that that little nubbin on the top the little plume on his helmet was his head

which is the best right yeah like a little earthworm gym looking guy oh my god that's awesome but no that's his little plume because he's uh you know he's a professional jouster and all that anyway i absolutely love this thing and i'm tempted i was tempted to put it in the car dash but i'm not in there enough so i think i'm going to put it I'm not going to put it here, but I'm going to put it somewhere in my office that always can look at it and go flick and watch it go bleed-l-l-l-l-d-l-back and for it. Yeah, I don't know when that thing was made, like if it was made back in 1982 or if it was made more recently, but that is the only time I've ever seen that thing, and it was like they had one, this vendor at the Texas Pinball Festival had one of those, and I'm like, there is the present for Scott. whatever it was back in February or March, whenever I went over. Yeah, you're right.

Early March, I think. It was March, yeah. And this thing is sat on my shelf with a sticky note that said, Scott's birthday on it for the longest time. And all this time, right? Like March, April, May, June, July, five months, or four months, or however you want to work the math. Yeah.

Did I ever take the time to wrap it? No. And when I shoved it in a box, to send to Scott. Did I wrap it then? No. I wrapped it in a very, I wrapped it in, uh, did you like the packaging? Because that is a, that's what my, um, resin bottles come in for my 3D printer. Oh, I wondered about that. I wasn't sure, because when I first got it, I'm like, wait, what is this? And I kept digging and I'm like, I'm like, I don't know what this is. Hopefully it's something I, you know, I'm not going to like, I don't know, break here and have it be a chemical or

I didn't know. I didn't know what was going on. And I fired it open and went, oh, look at this guy in here. And I love him. He's great. Awesome. Look at him on his little spring. Look, he's stoked. Yeah, he wants to go. Yeah.

That's pretty good. That's not bad. This is my first ever attempted impersonating joust. We use it on play retro all the time. This sound. There it is. Before you know it, you're fighting that damn buzzard thing. I hate that thing or the dragon.

You've got the arcade one-up machine. that's got Defender and Joust, right? I do. Yeah, it's got Defender, Joust, Rampage, and what's the one where you run around a four of you in a dungeon? Oh, Gontlet. Gondlet, geez.

I couldn't think of Gondlet. Oh, that's cool. That's a great combo right there. Yeah, it's not bad. That's why, I think that's my main reason for buying that one. I would have gotten out of Jouse no matter what, but it actually has, like, this really good selection for $200 or whatever. So, yeah, that's why I did it.

The kids, everybody here wants to play, they just want to play Rampage. That's all anyone cares about. And the box is decorated Defender, right? No, hold on. Oh, is it decorated jost? Because I saw that they had one. I didn't know if it was brand new or if it was the one you got that is now Arcade 1-up and it's decorated as a joust machine. Let's see.

Arcade 1. It's in the other room, so I can't see it, but I think it may be Rampage as the. Oh, it is. Okay. Yeah, it is Rampage. Which is weird. That shouldn't be your focus, in my opinion. Right.

Yeah, I would think, I would think it's, this is really funny because they've got the, I see the Rampage, Gautland, geez, can't even speak. Gantlet. Rampage, Gondlet, Joust, and Defender one. But then they've also got the Defender 40th anniversary, and then they've got the Joust one. Oh, interesting. So cool. I want the, that's the one I would have got if that was available. But yeah, the one I just put in our chat is the one I got. And I really, really like it. I don't have the, The, what do you call that? The pedestal thing, the, the extender. Oh, yeah, that it stands on.

Yeah, so I ended up using, I just have a little stool in there, you know. Check this out. Okay, so this new one, I'm sorry to give you some, maybe some jealousy here, Scott, but the new one's got Rampage Defender and Gauntlet. Yeah, Gontlet. Then you've got Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate MK3. What? and then you've got

Tubin, Wizard of War Root Beer Tapper, Bubbles, Paper Boy, and Clacks. Oh my gosh. Like the brand new joust one they've come out with has all that stuff. I've been wondering why they don't do more, like why they don't

they easily could put more games on there. I mean, obviously it's a way of saying, hey, you want more games? Buy another one of these machines, but Oh, look at that thing. Yeah. Dude, I bought it the wrong time. I mean, isn't it always the way, right? It's like, oh, I bought this.

Now, the even better one came out two years later. I'm freaking hate that. It annoys me. You know, I wonder if you, uh, I wonder if you could just reflash the ROM or something. Oh, I could totally hack it. Yeah, there's, there's like full videos. I haven't taken the time. I think I could probably, could probably put another, I mean, I could raspberry pie it if I wanted and put it on there.

But you don't, does yours have like this many, buttons on it. I doubt it. Mine's got enough for, so imagine everything you need for Gauntlet. Gauntlet's the big one. Yeah. That's how many.

So it's a bunch of, it's a bunch of buttons, but it's not like, you know, there's no wheeler. It's not the Moral Combat level number of buttons. Oh, yeah, I'm looking at the, I'm looking at the one you've got.

Yeah. And it's fine. It's fine. For what it is, it's fine. But now you've told me something's better and now I'm annoyed. Sorry. No, it's okay. I would, dude,

MK3 Ultimate is one of my favorite. just sit and play it forever fighting games, I could, I could use some of that in my life. Mm-hmm. Why the hell not? This is great. We're getting in the moot. Find a huge Rampage fan to buy this one from you. Yeah.

And then just put that, you know, that in an extra $100 or $200 and get you one of these, uh, joust, uh, super deluxeers. I'll call Dwayne the Rock Johnson and say, hey, yo, dude. And you smell the movie I'm making? You made Rampage. How about an arcade game in your house? and you will pay me 40 grand for it because you are the rock. Because you're the rock. Yeah, you have a lot of money.

You eat 15 chicken breasts a morning. I mean, you know, Johnson to Johnson. I'm sure there's some deal you guys can make. The Johnson family discount. Got to be connected somewhere in the past. Who knows? Somebody crossed with a Swedish, a Swede and a Polynesian got it on. Right, yes.

I don't know. I don't know what happens in closed doors. Anyway, welcome to the show, everybody. We're glad to be here. We got a lot to do. It's Wednesday. It's always a big day. Much to do. Much to do.

It's not going to do it itself. It's much to do about something, not nothing, right? Right. Yeah. Shake that, Shakespeare. Shake that. Anyway. Shake that, take spear.

Take spear. I love that. Get a title in there quick, you guys. That's a good one. First one wins. So, all right. So I showed that off. I don't know why in the notes I put,

caw it's not that's not what a office says he doesn't go caw that's kind of the noise that the uh teradactal makes oh that's sure I hate that guy one of the great

one of the great dicks in video game history that freaking oh yeah is that damn taradactyl the unbeatable I hate him all he was designed for was to take a slow player kill him and make them put more quarters in that was the whole point right how do we how do we keep somebody from just like

keeping one bird alive, balking them, letting them drop, then repeat, rinse and repeat. It's all about quarters, man. That was it. Yeah, yeah, for sure. We got a couple emails I want to do some follow-ups before we get to our battle royale today. By the way, today we're going to be playing the TMS high-low, which means Brian Dunaway's in a meeting, and one of you out there will be calling in and be competing with me. That's right. Get ready for that. Use your own smarts against Scott, if you dare. You probably dare.

They probably dare. They should definitely dare. I agree. So let's do this real quick. Send and receive email. We've got an email from Stephen, not Schleiker, just a different Stephen, who says on the subject of virtual brands, we were talking about like ghost kitchens. Bird dogs. Yeah, bird dogs and all that.

So say Scott and Brian, I was listening to Wednesday's show and wanted to chime in about the Buffalo Wild Wings virtual brand you talked about. A few months ago, a new restaurant popped up on DoorDash near us called The Meltdown. So we tried it out. That sounds like like melted grill cheese. or something. The meltdown. I know it does sound, sounds really good.

See, that's the problem. These fake brands sound great, but they're not. They sound better than the restaurants that the,

yeah, these mockingbird, uh, which I guess is the idea because then they, you know, then they buy there, even though they're still

buying from people they know. Anyway, it's weird. Right. Because would you say, oh, meltdown? It's an edennies. Yeah.

Oh. Yeah, exactly. Like it was called the meltdown sandwiches and the Denny's, you wouldn't give two craps about it. No,

and the bag shows up and it says Denny's on the side, and you're like, I've been wronged. Today, someone shows violence. Anyway, it says here, we tried it out, watching the map tracking. I noticed that it looked like our driver was picking up our food at a Denny's. Speaking of Denny's, close to us, I wouldn't, or I couldn't figure out what was going on until I found this article. I read it. Denies is offering Burger Den Meltdown Virtual Brands.

After writing the above, I heard you talk about the Wikipedia article, but I'm still sending this along. as it is not a warehouse situation like you talked about. I think it's different from a ghost kitchen. It's a Denny's just under another name with other food. Yeah, and I think that's what happened with the Buffalo Wild Wings as well. Same deal. Right after we did that show, I got an email. I'm on the Buffalo Wild Wings rewards list because, of course, I'm.

I used to go there for lunch, get one of their lunch specials and do trivia while I sat there and ate lunch. Fantastic. But, so, of course, I get this thing. Bird dog's like, oh, okay, there you go. We just talked about this. So I'm looking at the menu for this meltdown. It's awesome. I mean, it's like sandwiches with melty cheese on them.

The giddy-up melt is slow-smoked brisket, burnt ends, sharp white cheddar, creamy barbecue sauce. It sounds amazing, doesn't it? Sounds amazing. Yeah. And when you look at, if you go to, if you go to Google and Google, you know, the meltdown, the first review that comes up, for me, I'm sure this is somebody local, it says, I was fooled by a pseudo name. By the way, pseudo, he spelled like it is a woman named Sue who adds D.O. to her name. Of course he did. Of course it is.

The irony that that's a pseudo name. That's really obnoxious. I hate that. You're going to write a means thing. I used by Denny's. Order through food delivery app. And when arrived, everything was branded Denny's. Had I known they were selling food under a different name, I would have ordered.

If I wanted Denny's for dinner, I sure would have ordered through Denny's. Yeah. You didn't like being fooled. How was the food, Sean? Was it good? Like, if you hadn't had no idea, it was Denny's, would you be like, oh, this is great? burn ends barbecue sandwich with melted cheddar on that oh man sounds great yeah if i were denny's and if i were buffalo wild wings what i would do is invest in some bags with a different name on

right yes yeah so then nobody's the wiser they just get it and it's all good a logo right there's like a logo for this meltdown place yeah it's all a little weird because it does all kind of test your your what's the word your faith your good faith agreement with food places that you're what you asked for, that it's not from some back alley, you know, some guy didn't dig it out of a dumpster and repurpose it. Like, I hate when those questions come up, but they come up because this stuff's a little on the skeeby side, not exactly, but a little. Like, if they even just said in the description, you know, bird dogs, a subsidiary of Buffalo Wildlings, like, just give us something. Right. And we wouldn't be like. They could also, they can also

word it like, yeah, you know, times are tough right now. We've brought in a different chef who's selling that we're we're we're subletting space in our kitchen for another company and another chef to make their products and deliver them through through our kitchen yeah then it's then it's like oh you know that that feels like a different thing than denies or buffalo wild wings yeah and if they if they positioned it like that and maybe we're transparent about it like that then hey that sounds cool but if it's if it's like well we were going to do these new sandwiches on the denies menu let's just call it a new restaurant and we'll only have deliver and yeah it's all a little

the entirety of it is a little strange but um it is a little strange but stephen uh thank you for the clarifications and also uh for listening to the show we appreciate it we got one thanks now for making me want um a melty sandwich yeah i kind of want one and now that i know it's denny's it's like a sub thing of denny's i'm fine with that it's fine i'm all right with that yeah if it's good yeah i actually i'll be honest i ate at a denny's within the last seven days I did my early morning

it was Friday did my early morning like I'm awake at 5 o'clock or 530 let's just shower and let's just start lifting and then when I when things die down then I'll go get breakfast and the only thing I could find near me when I dropped off a passenger around the time that I was like I got to eat something the only thing I could find around me was

a Denny's but you know what I had a grand slam with my four favorite things pancakes pancakes eggs and pancakes and it was fine. It was great. Yeah. How were the pancakes, though? Were they pretty good? Oh, it sucked, actually. Oh, my God. I'm so tempted.

So, you know, the story. I mean, the Vegas thing is a week from today I leave for Vegas. Oh, yeah, that came up fast. Holy crap. It did come up fast. And obviously, for the most part, I'm taking, I'm staying at the MGM grant and not leaving the MGM grant because who knows what the freaking temperature is going to be. I may not want to walk down on the strip and have my shoes melt to the sidewalk. Yeah. If it's like it's been lately, you're looking at like 114, 112, it's real hot. Yeah. I mean, I didn't even go to the pool. My God. I may just like go to the ice machine, fill buckets of ice, fill up the bathtub, and treat myself like a, like a, like I have my liver stolen from a sex worker. Anyway, but Chris Brown's coming out there with his car that

He's bringing back to Denver for his daughter, which means that Thursday morning, I'll have access to a car. I could go to DuPars, which is way off the strip and, you know, just get a ride, like say, all right, Chris Brown, load up your car. Let's go to breakfast, and then you can just leave right from breakfast and head out to your, to Denver, and I will, I'll just take a lift back from DuPars back to the hotel. Yeah, you'll be somebody else's lift story that day. I'll be somebody else's life story. I never get to go to DuPars in Vegas anymore because it's... Yeah, they moved it, right? Or they...

Yeah, they didn't have the... That's right. That's the one they took off the strip. On the Fremont Street, used to be on Fremont Street, right across the street from the freaking plaza. And that place has, hands down, the best pancakes I have ever eaten in my life. Wow. That is high, that's high praise.

Because I know you know your pancakes, so... I know my pancakes. And that those were... unquestionably. Well, take that, Denny's. You're many miles down from that. Shove that up your Grand Slam. All right.

Anyway, next email. All right. This is Jeff Sire. He is Bronco. We love Bronco. But he likes to call people to task occasionally. And this is about the Webb Telescope that everybody's been talking about. Scott and Brian, I'm a little confused.

James Webb is a boring name and should be changed. But every non-white guy English name is also weird. And you should go down to the courthouse and get it changed. in quotes, asking for my friends Hans Asperger, hey, Jeff, here's the deal. They did change the Asperger name for the condition, not his name. But they changed the autistic designation from Asperger's to something else,

or I think it's just part of the scale now. So, you know, I'm not saying they did it because of the name, but I'm saying they might have, you know, is it bad name. It's possible. Yeah. The James Webb thing, it's just boring compared to Hubble. That's all my point was. Hubbles, Hubble's like, Hubble, yeah, the Hubble telescope.

It didn't even matter if it was a dude's name, you know? Doesn't Hubble just sound like it's damaged, like it's limping along, like the Hubble telescope? It kind of does. Yeah, it does sound like hobble. And it's also been a while, so it's a second, you know, it's old and busted compared to the hot newness and all of that. But just the James Webb Telescope. James Webb, blah, blah, blah. Call it that like, there's a lot of cool space names we could give things, you know?

like the, I don't know, let me think here. The Andromeda. The tentive five Space Telescope. Yes, the Zoron 3. Something cool. James Webbulax.

Nebula. The seer of worlds. Captain, we are not concerned with your petty human needs. I am nebulax. Seer of worlds. All right.

Well, Jeff, you make a point, as always. Thank you for that. And as usual, our email address is the morning stream at gmail.com. That's the morning stream at gmail.com. All right. Oh, I got to open something. Here we go.

So we can actually take a call. We're going to take a call and we're going to play a game. So get ready, everybody. All right, time for us to play a version of Babel Royale. It isn't really happening like normal because Brian had a, Brian Dunaway had a meeting. So, uh, we're, we're going to have to carry on without him. And we're going to do high, low, which is always fun.

And we're going to take a listener's call right now, find out who this is. Hello, welcome to the show. Who's this? Uh, this is Dave from Pluto. Oh, hello. Hold on. I got to decline the other one trying to come in. Oh, that's weird.

They're letting, um, they're letting, um, they're letting, um, they're letting other calls come through now, like call waiting kind of. Oh, interesting. I don't like that. That makes my job harder. Maybe I can disable it. Anyway, sorry, John from Ohio. hear that right? No, Dave from Ohio.

Dave from Ohio, sorry. Sorry, Dave. Oops, my bad. It's good to have you here. And Dave, and I'm going to remember that, not call you John. I'm going to type it in here. How about that? Yeah, that's a good idea. That's not a bad idea at all. We're going to play a game. You are the lucky caller today to play with us, and Brian will explain these rules and how and what you could win. Yeah, well, we're going to play a game of TMS high, low. I'm going to ask got a number base question and he'll provide an answer i will then ask you dave if the actual answer is higher or lower and if you're correct at least three times out of the five questions i'm going to ask you win a prize package of what includes main assembly which is a really cool

multiplayer uh steam game uh where you build build things to thwart your opponents i haven't seen that game before it's totally i looked at this morning i'm like oh that's really cool uh also men of war red Tide. Ah, men of war, Red Tide. Men of War, Red Tide. Big thanks to Dylan Davis for providing these Steam games. Men of War. Men of War.

Men of War. Okay, got it. Get in the right emphasis. I've never played either, though. We'll see how this goes. Sweet, yeah, let's see how this goes. That'd be great. All right.

So here's how it's going to go. I'm going to ask out a question. Let's start with question number one. Again, remember, the answer to each of these questions is a number. Scott, what percent of Americans think they're smarter than the average American? Smarter than the average American? This feels like a giant number, but I also might be just jaded by today's society. So let's see.

You've got to be high. I know, it feels high, right? I'm going to go 70%. If not, they are high. Yeah, 70% of Americans. 70%. Uh, 70% is incorrect. Dave is the actual answer higher or lower than 70%.

Oh, it's got to be higher than that. Got to be higher, right? Probably. All right. You say higher. The actual answer is only 55% which blows my mind. It's just barely above the, you know, the median, the average American. Once again, everything's just right down the eff and middle here.

We're just so split. I know. That surprises me, but I would have expected. And, you know, this, uh, was conducted. and I think in 2015 was the study. So I think things have probably changed. By the way, 4% of people think that they're less intelligent than the average American. Oh, well, those are very... They're probably right.

Humble, self-effacing individuals, I'm sure. That's right. All right. Well, consider that I want to warm up, you know. That's all right. We got one under your belt. We can move on. Sure.

Scott. That's me. A little astronomy here, Bobby Frankenstein. Burger might be listening. It might be, uh, might know the answer to this one. Uh, how many earths would fit in the sun? So if you hollowed out the sun, oh, might even be hollow. We don't know. I heard of this. You hollowed out the sun. How many earths would fit inside? Earths. It might be hollow. We don't know. It might be hollow. We don't know. I think we do know, but we can't get close enough to,

to poke a hole in it and see if, see what's inside. It's all nougat. It's just nougat. Yeah. Um, how many? It's a creamy, creamy filling. I'm going to say, I know it's in the thousands. I saw something recently, so I'm going to say 50,000 of our Earths. Okay. All right. 50,000 is incorrect. Dave, is the actual answer higher or lower than 50,000?

It's way higher than that. It is way higher than that. That's absolutely correct. Nicely done. Yeah. 1.3 million Earths. Earths could fit in the... in the sun. Welcome to that many. I'm sorry, what was that number? Welcome to all the earths in the sun. What was that number you just said? What was it? 1.3 million. Yeah, that's a lot higher than 50,000. Holy Moses. All right.

By the way, the nearest, or the, the largest known star is Canis Majoris. Oh, yeah, that's a beast. Dog star. How many, this is not a, not part of the question, the part of the game, but how many sons do you think would fit in Canis Majoris? It's some huge number because it's like a giant red dwarf or a blue or whatever it is. It's a big nightmare thing. Red giant, yeah. I think probably, okay, I'm just going to guess again, it's not, there's no win or lose here. One trillion suns. That's not too bad.

That's a little high. 9.3 billion sons could fit in Canis Majoris, which is still a pretty big number. That's a lot. So that means our, if you extrapolate the math, that's a lot of Earth's and inside of that. It's a lot of Earths that could fit in Kansas Majoras. There would just be, uh, man. Yeah. A bazillion. I think the answer is a bazillion.

Yeah. My Majoras hurts right now. All right then. Okay. Uh, well, that's good news for you, Dave. That means you've got one point. All you need is two more to win the prize. Let's go to question number three. Uh, something a little bit closer to Earth. According to Disney, how old is the oldest of the 11 official. Disney princesses. And I will up that to say of the official

12 because they have added Moana to the official list of Disney princesses. She belongs there. Yeah, you know who's not on the official list of Disney princess is still is Leia. Leia's still not official Disney princess. They should, now that they own everything, they should just do it.

But I get why they don't. Yep. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot what the question was. How old is the oldest Disney princess? The official Disney princess. Now, this is the character's age. or the age it's been around. The characters, the character's age.

Okay. Because it'd be snow wide, obviously, for age in terms of, like, when the movie came out. But, like, the character's age, while they're in the movie, their age, right? Right, while they're in the movie. The characters age, because they never, they don't grow. They even pass the, once the credits roll, they freeze at that age. Yeah. Oh, this is hard.

Oh, my gosh. I'll say, Elsa, she seems old. I'm not asking again, the answer to each of these questions will be a number. Oh, that's right, that's a number. What's the average? Not the average. What is the oldest age of a Disney princess? Yeah, I keep wanting to put a number to it.

Well, I'll just say, let it go, Scott. 30. 30, okay. That number is incorrect. Dave, is the actual answer higher or lower than 30. Um, I'm feeling like it's got to be lower than that. Disney wouldn't let their... They're all pretty young, right?

Yeah, like 30, 30-year-old princesses. Yeah. It's got to be legal. 30 is well done. Yes, 19 years old is the oldest Disney princess, and there are two of them that are 19. Cinderella and Tiana, Tiana from the Princess and the Frog, are 19.

Snow White, the youngest, at 14. 14? 14. Okay. Wow. Some funky business going on there. Let's not think about how old Prince Charming is. Yeah.

Also, don't do an unfiltered image search for any of these characters because suddenly you are in dangerous territory, boys. Yeah. You're not, and you probably are seeing 30-year-olds. That surprises me. Can you tell me how old, what characters I think of that I wanted to know? Well, how old is Moana supposed to be? Moana's 16. 16, okay.

I've looked that one up just to see if the number had changed. You know, I'll have to give the Rock's character Maui credit for being a perfect gentleman while he was on that brother. Yes. Oh, for sure, yes. You're welcome, he says. You're welcome. All right. Sorry, there's one more, right? Or is that it? No, no, no. There's a, we got two more questions. And all Dave needs is one point from these two questions. So, pretty good.

All right. In miles per hour, what is the fastest recorded speed of a bird in flight? So birds, you know, flying fast. Oh, man, what bird and why would they go that fast? I'd say probably 60 miles an hour. 60 miles an hour. That is incorrect. Dave, for the win is the actual.

are higher or lower than 60 miles per hour. It's higher than that for sure. Gotta be right. It is absolutely higher than that. Yeah, Perrigan Falcons. So, you know, the Swift is considered the fastest, or was, or maybe for long distances is considered the fastest bird in flight. However, Peregrin Falcons capture other birds by diving on them mid-flight and the fastest

recorded time of a Peregrine falcon diving like this is 242 miles per hour. My hell, dude. That's collision nightmare. Oh my gosh. Crazy is that. That is crazy. Paragrin falcons are weird.

The other one that you mentioned the Swift. I don't think I've ever even heard of the Swift. Yeah. Is that where the car name came from? Is that where the car name came from? The Swift? Is there a Swift? Yeah, there was like a car.

Oh, Suzuki. Swift, right? Yeah, I think so. I thought it was just, oh, because it's fast, but no, is it based on a bird? It might be. Yeah, yeah, it's based on a bird. Hold me see if I can find what the,

I think the, the, the swift maybe is, um, the, the bird that can fly the longest without. Oh, that's a pretty bird. You're a pretty bird. Pretty bird. Who's a pretty bird? Who's a pretty bird?

He's a very pretty bird. Let's see. What is the, what is the honorific of the, um, Let's see. Swifts are in the family a Doppaday, a highly aerial bird. They are superficially similar to swallows but are not closely related. Swift's replaced, let's see. Oh, they're more along hummingbirds that says here.

That's interesting. They are, yeah. Yeah, the Swift is like the sixth or seventh fastest birds. So Praergan, Falcon, Sacred, Golden Eagle, gray-headed albatross. Gear Falcon, that's cool, white-throated needletail, and then the common swift. 116, so maximum horizontal speed is 116 kilometers per hour, 69 miles per hour. Crazy. But still isn't higher either way.

Yeah, yeah. 100 miles an hour, though. That's a lot, right? And that's faster than the maximum horizontal speed of the falcon. So that's probably why that number was. Now, most importantly, and I'm putting this on the stream, and Brian, I'm going to copy it and put it in our discord. There's a video going around today of a bird repeatedly getting it to the top of a roof. It's all snowy on top of a roof with a jar lid and skiing, sledding down the roof, stopping, picking it up with his beak, going back up to the top, and then sledding again.

Really? Yeah. I just think birds are effed, and we're all going to die from. birds birds are going to kill us they're now they're now like uh inventing recreational uh sledding so what's next for these uh it's a it's a freaking trip i just don't know what that bird's doing watch this thing for a second yeah you got to see it it's really good it's just insane like i understand one trip down right yeah picks it up and goes back and goes again and then again i like that it flies back up to the top and then does it again oh that's awesome and he does it on different sides

Yeah, and I think he's just having a good time. Like, I literally think that bird is just having fun. I want to be a bird. Totally. Oh, my God. All right. Well, you know, I've got one more question. Oh, yeah, go ahead.

Let's do that question. Just for funds. Yeah. You've won the prizes. Congratulations. Oh, yeah. Congratulations. Well done.

Let's see how Scott does with this one. All right. How many unique words appear in Dr. Seuss's green eggs and ham? Well, there's a lot of the use of green eggs and ham. Yeah, so that we know there's at least five, right? Or, no, four, green eggs and ham. I'm going to go, this feels like one that's meant to skews lower. So I'm going to say 22 words.

22. Is the correct answer? 22 is incorrect. Dave, is the correct answer higher, lower than 22. Higher. It's definitely higher, but not much higher. 50, exactly, 50 unique words. He had a bet with his publisher to use fewer unique words than the cat in the hat,

which had 236 unique words. Oh, no way. He won that bet. That's great. I didn't know that was a thing. I learned Swift today. I learned about his publishing bet he made. Dr. Seuss.

Look at this. This is insane. Perg and Falcons. I learned that it's not John, but it's Dave. Like all these things I learned today. You learned about Disney princesses and how they're all barely legal. Yeah, they're all barely legal. Some of them aren't even that.

No, some are too young. Get out of there. You know, get off out of there. Uh, also this... Congratulations. You're a winner. You are a winner, Dave. Congratulations.

All you got to do is send Brian an email Coverville at gmail.com, and he will send you the codes to those games we mentioned today. How do you feel about your win? Uh, fantastic way to start up. I want to do. You guys have a great one. Oh, you too, man. Thanks for playing with us. See you later.

Okay. Well, there goes Dave. All right. Very good. Dave is here, man. Get it? Yeah, man. Well, not anymore, man.

Dave's not here. Man, I cannot stop thinking about the comment Cheech and Chong made about George Carlin in that documentary. You saw that, right? I did see that. Remind me the comment. So there was, it's in the 70s when everybody was saying that Carlin lost his edge, he wasn't relevant anymore.

You know, this new kind of comedy was happening. And it was, you know, Cheech and Chong were kind of at the point of this spearhead of that and all that. And at one point, Tommy Chong or Cheech Merin, I don't remember which, said um i can't remember the exact comment but it was freaking rude it was like it was like us going um who's the m tv podcaster i can't think his name uh adam curry it's like us going ah adam curry washed up piece of shit we're podcasters it'd be like that yeah okay and i remember thinking you don't i think that's a dangerous thing to say because you know how it turned out it turned out nobody gave a shit about cheech and chong about 20 years later and everybody still

to Carlin and he's the most like quoted dead comedian of all time like I think maybe you guys were wrong and they probably know they were wrong but anyway I can't stop thinking about that for some reason all right anyway uh let's do a little bit of news coverage here okay inform the people we're we believe in institutional journalistic integrity and so in that vein this we do it by ripping off a 1970s uh jingle Brian, hey, it's the news. Who is it brought to us by today? Brought to you by almost hitting a drone with a wrist rocket.

Oh, yeah. So I was out in the backyard and we hear up in the sky and ran and grabbed my little slingshot thing because I thought, you know, whoever this is, just hovering over my back yard. Is that for squirrels? Like, is that usually what you use that for? Yeah, I mean, usually nothing.

Like, I don't remember why we even have it. When I was a kid, of course, you'd use it to hit everything. But anyway, I went out there and took a shot, almost hit it, just neared off to the sudden. Oh, yeah, it took off. It took off. I don't know if it's a neighbor. I don't know whose it is.

They're not supposed to here. They'll get fined if they get caught because they're not supposed to do it with the HOA rules. Oh, really? Yeah, because they're hovering over the yard and who knows who's out, you know. Privacy, sure. People got their boobies out, you know? They might. That's what they're hoping anyway.

Yeah, it's what they want. I mean, I was there. My boobs were out, but I was there. Oh, all right. Good. Oh, there's something I have to show you after the show. I can't show it online. There's something like that. You just reminded me as a bit of what we were just talking about. I'm a little concerned.

I'm a little worried. I'll tell you the story and then I'll send you the link. But basically, somebody for my birthday gifted me a copy of Balders Gate 3, which is still in early access, but this, you know, it's expected to be this huge thing. And it's on Steam. Anyway, get a copy of it. Thanks, Bo Schwarz for your kindness. And I guess since what they call Patch 8, It's had some weird graphical glitches.

And by that, I mean, like a model will show up, but then it will take a second. And then textures, hair, clothes, objects in the world, they pop in later. They're fixing this. It's not a bug, right? So I go in for my very, and I didn't know about this. I go in for my very first character creation. And it defaults to a female elven barbarian is the first choice. it's all d and d so these are the kind of classes and characters and stuff it pops in and there's a background that pops in first then a model pops in and she is buck naked and not only that they have detailed all the nakedness oh really like fully uh this ain't barbie doll smoothness this is uh and i don't know why i don't know why you would you would go to such lengths to render these perfectly rendered beautiful little nipples and you know all this but they did 13 year old dudes make video video

Game, Scott. And then the clothes pop in after, and then the textures pop in after that. And I know it's not intended, but I'm dying to know why they think it's necessary to have all that underneath. Yeah, why do you need stuff detailed under the clothes unless there's some sort of secret level that you... Yeah, right? It's weird. And apparently I'm not alone. I put it up on the Reddit and everyone's like, oh, yeah, this is Patch 8, Patch 8, Patch 8.

I'm like, okay. All right, patch 8, you got me. Anyway, here's a story for you. A man in the news pulls a gun on a woman who didn't thank him for holding a door open. Oh, my. Well, damn right. Yeah. Listen, I better get some acknowledgement for my generosity and kindness.

That's right. As a man, you deserve it. Right. What? No gratitude for opening a door for you? How about a gun then? Why don't I'm just pelop the gun? He was 25 years old.

This is a Connecticut. man or connecticut uh on uh see saturday allegedly pulled out a gun on two women because they did not thank him for holding a door that he opened for them according to local police law enforcement responded to a hamden family dollar store there's a problem at 315 p.m nothing good happens at a dollar store at 3 15 p.m. Oh gosh no. Worst time a day to go to a family dollar yeah um after receiving a report of a man was pointing a gun at two customers outside the store when the officers arrived, witness told the man later identified as Joshua Murray, allegedly pointed

a gun at the woman for whom he had held the door to officers he, see, they told officers he allegedly grew irate after they didn't thank him from police located. You know, I'm worried about these 20-somethings that are always this close to snapping. You know what I mean? Right, right. Yeah, I don't know what's going on,

but y'all need to freaking find your chill. Exactly. You've always existed, but I feel like right now, oh, just, and then you got a gun on you, you rat bastard. My daughter just turned your age. She couldn't be further from pulling a gun on someone because they didn't say thank you for something. Right. I know. You know, you're just minding your own business. Maybe you're flying your drone in the neighborhood or something like that. And all of a sudden, somebody overreacts with some sort of projectile weapon to, uh, yeah. Yeah. And the goal is, if you hold the door open, it's not meant to be, I need immediate,

I demand immediate acknowledgement and thanks for this or I don't do it. You do it because you're a nice guy and you should just do it. Exactly. So wherever your parents are, ought to have their chodes punched. All right. That's better than shooting you, you know. Way, way better than shoot. Yeah, exactly.

Jeez. Here's a good one. I like this story. A company called Meta is suing Meta. meta for naming itself meta. Wow, how meta. Very meta. When Facebook changed this name to meta in October,

there were a few concerns about the company that was planning to dominate the nascent Metaverse, but there's one aggrieved party that is now going public. This is an installation art company called Meta at Meta. If you want to see what they do. Announced Tuesday, it will be suing Meta or Facebook for trademark violation, alleging Zuckerberg's name change violated the smaller company's established brand.

well I'll go on because it explains what I'm about to say in October Facebook seized our meta trademark and name we sorry which we put our blood sweat and tears into building over the last 12 years reading a post on the smaller company's website today after eight months of trying to negotiate with Facebook in good faith to no avail we were left with no choice but to file this lawsuit so I kind of do hate this a gigantic company with endless pockets. they don't care at all but you know i really got handed to these guys meta the small meta yeah the little meta um the little meta that could uh for you know for first trying to negotiate and say hey look you know this is our company name we've been we've been at this for a long time this is not just a new thing 12 years we've been trying to establish our brand and our name and uh and then when they are like yeah no we're facebook If you, Matt, and then they said, okay, Neil, now we've got to go lawsuits. So good, you know.

Yeah, they're doing what they, they're doing the right path. They're doing exactly the way they're supposed to do it. I say go for it. And I say, there's enough. These guys get a nice payday. Oh, wouldn't that be great? I freaking would love that. I'd love to see Facebook take one of the chode for this one.

Boy, a lot of chodes today, choding. Lots of chodes. It's a chode-heavy show, people. Yeah, very chodey here. Yeah. My office smells like chitee, by the way. Do you know why? better than it's smelling like chode

I don't know why I transitioned from chode Yeah, I don't know either Chode chide, sure Chai Chode But when I spilled yesterday I got on this big mouse mat thing of mine And it really smelled up the joint So now I'm trying to clean it up

Gotcha. Have you not taken that mouse mat outside to let it dry? Oh, I did do that But I did it too I did it this morning So all day yesterday it sat here drying And I didn't notice because I was in here all the time but when I came in this morning, it was overwhelming.

It's like, oh, my gosh. It's like a coffee shop here. That's actually, that's not a bad smell. That's, uh, yeah, it's not too bad. I was like, why can I do a Starbucks or something? It just kind of had that vibe. Anyway, Kim's now. She's like, bring that up here.

That's what I did. So she's taking care of it. Good. Good for her. I hope these guys make some money. Um, okay. We are going to take a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt will join us for a little tech time.

Uh, because that's what he does on Wednesdays. And it's great. We love it. We'll also do some recommendals with at least Randy, possibly Nicole. I haven't heard back from her, so I'm not sure. I'll say this every week. The great mystery of life. Will Nicole join us for recommendals?

You'll never know until you come back after this song Brian has brought. So play that song that you brought. Thanks to Big Loud Rock, the new alternative rock imprint of Big Loud Records, and a band called Letdown. This is the latest single from Chicago and Nashville-based songwriter and vocalist Blake Coddington. I don't know where he is, which one of these he's in now. I got to tell you, the song is fantastic. What's even better is the music video.

And so make sure you check out the music video. Do a search for letdown, all one word, L-E-T-O-W-N. And hold on a second. I'm going to copy so the chat room can have it. Nice. But what's cool about this video is if you turn the sound off, it seems like an entirely different kind of music video. Like, it seems like you're looking at a heavy metal song.

But when you listen to it, it's like, yeah, this is definitely not a heavy metal song. The band is Letdown, All One Word, L-E-T-D-O-W-N, period. The brand new single is called Go to Hell, directed by Alex Zerick, and now streaming. No album announced, but the new song is fantastic. Here is Letdown and Go to Hell. Started with a kiss the taste of mint was on your lips the way you turned your head to look at what you thought was love and bliss like every story I ever told you found a way to make me slip What I could ever have is what you wanted me to miss you built those walls so damn tall you just let me fall hit your scars but I'm not your soul had no clue I'm your fool Heaven knows I go to hell for you

Yeah, I know that I'm crazy too I'll go to hell, go to hell For you You're my drugs and alcohol and honestly. I've tried them all my life is filled with tragedy. Your lies don't help. They rescue me. You're my drugs and alcohol and honestly I want them all. Right, well, touch, so I'm tragedy, so sit back and watch me bleed Da-da-la-ta-da-la-ta-da-la-ta-da-la-ta-da-la-ta-ta-ha. I'll go to hell, I'll go to hell.

you sometimes a coffee drinker can be a picky bunch you know you guys you're not just satisfied with anything and uh i'm here to tell you that trade coffee's got your back somebody who cares about what you care about trade coffee connects customers to the freshest and best tasting coffee they've ever made at home by partnering with the country's best craft roasters their independent businesses from big city, small towns, maybe somebody even near you. Trade customers are truly impactful for these independent roasters. They are often the largest source of new growth for these guys. So, you know, you matter. You're important to them and they're important to you. Expert-tasted coffee comes from trade coffee. They have a team that actually taste tests thousands

of coffees to keep 450 different kinds live and ready to ship every day. There's no one perfect coffee, but there is a perfect coffee for you and trades human-powered algorithm will find it. Oh, what a relief. Somebody still believes in the power of humans to determine what you might like or not. I freaking love that. They have a first match guarantee as well. They're so confident that they'll match you the right time the first time that if they don't, they'll take your feedback and an actual coffee expert will work with you directly to send you a brand new bag for free. so I'm not the big coffee drinker in the house, but my wife can't stop talking about trade coffee and the various coffees we've gotten from them. They love them. Better taste is what she says.

It's super easy to make, of course. And she loves it. Also, she'll do some of them in ice form because it's summer, and she loves those as well. So no matter what you don't go wrong. They're amazing. Also, that quiz you take on the site, so freaking easy. Oh, my gosh. gosh, I did that in like no time flat. And we got exactly what everybody wanted. Right now, trade is offering new subscribers a total of $30 off your first order plus free shipping when you go to drinktrade.com slash TMS. That's more than 40 cups of coffee for free. Yeah, you heard me. Get started by taking their quiz at drinktrade.com slash TMS and let trade find you a coffee that you'll love. Again, that is drinktrade.com slash TMS for $30 off.

Mother, with this, you can see as well as here. Why? You mean how? I mean why. Who cares? R2D2, you found a cigarette. The morning stream. How dare you talk to me that way?

And we're back. Hey, someone in the chat, sounds like they cater their... Yeah, the J-Cladd 5,000 works with big loud records all the time, caters their studio sessions in Nashville. So who knows? Maybe he's brought food to Blake Coddington, aka Letdown, who's who you just heard in that song. A song is called Go to Hell, band Letdown, brand new single,

and an excellent music video with a dude who kind of looks a little like, I don't know, like... if Jason Mamoa joined Metallica. Oh. Yeah, okay. Now you're speaking everyone's language. That sounds fantastic. I think so. Yeah, exactly.

I could actually see that. But I'll tell you right now, he does not sound like if Jason Mamoa joined Metallica. Oh, okay, good. Well, that's the key. All right. Check this out, everybody. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. You're going to understand.

The man is not the tool. It's the concept and direction that we get out of Tom Merritt, who joins us this morning. Hello, Tom. How are you? I'm increasingly uncomfortable with this introduction. You know, I don't like to be called the man. I don't like the use of the word tool. So close to proximity to my introduction.

Sure. Yeah, you're a man tool, that's what we're saying. And we're thrilled to have you here. It's just getting worse and worse, isn't it? Yeah, normally. Man tools. No kidding. Well, normally Wednesdays are the day I'm on DT&S and not today.

I swapped because I wanted to be on with Will Smith yesterday. That's right. star of screen and film. Did it meet your expectations for you? It was great, yeah. It was great because you ended up being the forum for a 12 years or plus long desire on both Will and I's part to try to just be on a show together

guesting somewhere or on one of the things we worked on and we never could pull it together. And we were always kind of fast friends on social media and stuff and have a bunch of friends in between us like Veronica and Bill Durand's good pals with those guys and all that. Yeah, yeah. But it finally happened due to the facilitation that is Tom Merritt, today's tech tool, tool man.

Tom Merritt. To Roger Chang on that one. He's the one that handles the booking and the calendar and all the complications that go therein. So it was great. Huge props to Roger for pulling it off. It's special guest week all week on DTNS. And then Roger is the one who made that happen. Yeah, he's lord of special guests this week.

And he did a great job yesterday. I forget who's on today, but it sounds like a topic I want to talk about. Like, somehow, somehow someone... It's Quinn Nelson. Yeah. one of the topics he recently covered was how great of a gaming machine, the M1 Mac is. So we're going to talk about that. Yeah, I actually agree. I'm going to, I'm a little sad. I'm not there. But it's going to be great. But as always, Tom's, you know, outscouring things, trying to find the best stories for today's lineups and deciding what to go deep on. on that sort of thing. What are you finding

with your hunt this morning? Well, a couple of things. One, we talked about yesterday when you were on, the Netflix password crackdown, but also Netflix had its earnings report come out yesterday afternoon. So we talked about the password crackdown yesterday on DTNS. Today we'll talk about the

things that Netflix announced in its earnings report as far as its plans and claims and all that sort of thing. The short version of the earnings report is they lost subscribers again, but they lost fewer subscribers than either they or analysts had expected. Everybody expected it to be around 2 million. They only, only lost 970,000 subscribers worldwide, which is still their largest loss yet. But I think what's important is they're losing those subscribers in the

saturated markets where they're facing the most competition. So they lost 1.3 million in the US and Canada. They lost another 770,000 in Europe. And they were flat in Latin America and gained a million in the Asian Pacific region. So they're losing in the places where they've been the longest and there's more alternatives. They are still gaining in the places where they're new and maybe not as much competition, which makes perfect sense. Yeah, it makes sense to me. I had wondered, well, this answers the question I'd kind of had on my head about them, their performance in North America, given how many choices we have, and a lot of these choices just straight up aren't available in other places yet, whether it be HBO Max, Paramount Plus, everybody

and their dog doing streaming services now. Yeah. That had to have an effect. Netflix is in almost every country on earth. Yeah. The other ones are in most of the countries, or many of the countries, but not every single country. So each country may have one or two of the same ones, but in the U.S., we've got them all.

Yeah, and they're not all insane, like the three of us, where we just, we feel like part of our jobs is to make sure we see everything. So we have them all, like psychos. Most people are smart about it and go, eh, I've just kind of seen all I want to see on Netflix for now. And until there's another stranger thing season, I'll just, okay, I'll accept it. Well, we'll go over to HBO for a while and, you know, see what they got going and cancel Netflix for now or whatever. Is that part of the reason that the ad supported Netflix tiers coming, do you think, is to kind of compete on that? Yeah, I absolutely do. The ad-supported tier and the password-sharing crackdown are attempts to get ahead of saturation.

So the ad-supported tier will provide a carrot to say like, hey, if you're paying too much for this stuff, but you still want to watch Bridgeton, you still want to watch Stranger Things, will give you a cheaper way. And they're going to make money off that, just like they make money off the other subscription. So that's a play at retention. Just go to this cheaper plan. You have to watch a few ads. as many of you who are right now typing I don't want ads there are plenty who put up with them

and there are plenty who say they don't want ads who watch them witness the success of Tobe and Pluto and lots of services like that so you're not going to see Netflix fail because of the ads thing it's probably going to help quite a bit the other one is password sharing where they can eat into the fact that somebody's like

well maybe I'd pay for Netflix but it's kind of expensive and I can just use my friend's password so if they can crack down on that and make that less comfortable and provide a cheaper alternative you've got to care it in a stick situation yeah this concept that um if they have an ad tier will will lead to their downfall somehow as as weird to me because if you want no ads then you do what you're already doing you pay and if you want some of it or at least right now they're talking about it's a limited catalog and that'll change over time but the ad tier is just there if you don't want to pay for it and I can tell you right now, our pal Brian Dunaway, he loves the Toobies and the freebies and the

freaking all that crap. He will sometimes, get this, we'll do a film sack movie and it'll be available on a service he subscribes to without commercials like Prime or something. He will choose to watch it on Tooby because he somehow likes that. I can't figure him out. He's weird. Because he like that it gives him a chance to take a break, get up and walk around. Probably. Something like that maybe, or maybe it reminds him of a simpler time where we were all. sort of just subjected to this or I don't I don't know but but and and to be fair to be is free you don't have to pay for it Netflix is going to charge you for ads but there's plenty of examples of people willing to do that like oh I can pay a little less and

just watch some ads yeah I'll do that not everybody likes that I get that and the people who don't like that are very focal about it but there are millions of people who are fine with it and and do it on services like peacock Disney Plus is going to have it HBO Max is going to have it it's it's definitely going to be a thing cable TV Was that? Or is that? Well, remember, yeah, is that now? Oh, my gosh, we were at a hotel over the weekend and, or in our condo thing, a time share.

And there was a food network. One of their marathons was just like nothing but Guy Fieri stuff or Fietti stuff. And I decided because I just getting this feeling like there are sure more, there are more commercials per capita here than anything else. And I just wanted to find kind of where the baseline was. So I counted the average commercial break. many ads were shown. The top end was 16 different commercials, short, but 16 of them. The low end was eight. So the minimum, eight commercials, usually more than that, somewhere between eight and 16, between every break, which is at least four minutes, but I bet those are 60 second commercials,

not 30 seconds. Yeah, it's long. And so the actual content felt like is barely there. And again, you know, this is where cable is and it sustains itself, I guess, to whatever degree it needs to. let it be whatever it's going to be. I understand people have trepidation about that moving into their streaming services, but if you're worried, you're already paying for a tier that doesn't give you that, which you don't have the option with cable. And the other thing I hear a lot is like, oh, this password sharing thing is going to blow back on that, right? Netflix, I think, has finally crossed the Rubicon that all companies cross from being the new fun

upstart to the hated incumbent. It doesn't really matter what a company does. Sometimes they do things to deserve it. sometimes they don't. It's just the fact that they've been around so long that people just get tired of them. And I think Netflix is crossing into that as they mature and they stop being the cool, you know, the cool uncle. And now they're the strict dad, as they tell you to stop sharing passwords. I think there will be a backlash and it will be very public and angry. It already is. Especially, I don't think it's going to be that material, though, because people are very angry

right now about something that has nothing to do with them because they're not in Argentina or any of these test countries where they're doing the password sharing. Netflix is being very soft-shoewed with it. They will eventually be strict. I have no doubt, but they're not cutting people off. They had the wording in their fact that they would cut people off and then they took it out because they're very sensitive to that. So I think they really just want to stop password sharing. They want to provide an easy way for you to do that. They're testing out various ways to do that. One would be you add an account as a sub-account to the main account for an extra couple of dollars. The other is you add a house, which is a location for an extra couple

of dollars. Now, the other reaction I see from people is like, oh, so they're going to go buy IP address. You're jumping to conclusions. Yes, they use IP address, but they also use device IDs and a bunch of other stuff. Netflix is actually being very diligent about not wanting to have false positives. And even when they combine all of that data and decide, okay, this is someone outside the house, they are giving you two weeks at every location per year. So no, when you go on vacation and you stay in a few hotels, they're not going to ding you for that, unless you're staying up more than two weeks at every hotel, you're going to be fine. I think what they're trying to do is really say, look, we really just want to put this fence

out where it catches, not all, but most of the people who can afford to pay but don't. They are going to trip up. They are going to have people get false positives because they use a VPN or an ad blocker when they do the ad services and stuff like that. So it's going to have some negative headlines out there. But honestly, I don't think it's going to bring Netflix down. What's going to bring Netflix down or not is content. Right now, the one thing I hear people say is, well, I don't subscribe to Netflix anymore because there isn't anything I want to watch. That's death for them. Right now, that's a minority of the people. There's plenty of people who find things that they like to watch.

And I think it's hip to say you don't like anything on Netflix. So more people say it than actually mean it. But I do look at Netflix and I'm like, what is Netflix Beyond Stranger Things in Bridgeton? And maybe, you know, Umbrella Academy and an occasional buzzy movie. I don't know. They don't have an identity the way that HBO Max does. And the way that all the traditional broadcast networks do because they have,

you know, a hundred years of content behind them. So Netflix really needs to get an identity around their content. where people think of them as, oh, I've got to have them to get X. Look how reasonable our man tool is, you guys. He knows he's not here for the headlines. He's not here to stir up trouble. Certainly does not feel undermined by that.

No, that was awesome. That was actually one of the best takes I've ever heard. I'm glad it happened here. Well, that's fantastic. You want to hear more about this sort of stuff? You'll hear it today on the Daily Tech News show at 2 p.m. Mountain Time. Usually, again, usually on their Wednesdays, but not today. But you want to check in.

I'm going to, because I want to hear about this M1 take, because actually I think I agree with it already. I just don't know all the details. Anyway, there's all that and more. Plus, Tom does a bunch of other cool stuff. Tom, what do you got going right now? Yeah, so Quinn Nelson from Snazzy Labs on the show today. It's special guest week on Daily Tech News show all week long. We had Jack Recider from Darknet Diaries on a Monday.

If you haven't checked out that episode, go listen to it. As we mentioned, Will Smith yesterday from podcasting and tech. testing things across the internet. Tomorrow, we're going to have Joel Telling talking 3D printing. Oh, I love that guy. Yeah, that guy's, I follow both his channel and his Twitter. That guy's great. So that's going to be super fun.

And then Justin Robey coming in on Friday, if you know him. So please, everybody, check it out. And if you enjoy something, tell folks about it. That's kind of the idea with having all these great guests all in one week is to spread the word about Daily technewshow.com. I agree. Tom married everybody. He is Ace Detect on Twitter. Go follow him there. You probably already do. Tom, have a great day. We'll see you next time. Thanks, man. Bye now. Bye. Bye. All right. There goes Tom. Now. Here he goes again. The great. Everyone's been making bets. The great

will she or won't she? Will she or won't she? You never know until we try. So we're going to give it a shot. Whoops. Why didn't it work? No, don't copy, add. There we go. Well, if you can add her, then that really helps my odds. That could be a problem. That would mean she canceled me or something. But anyway, let's get in and see how it goes. Welcome to Recommendals, everybody.

We have with this already, Mr. Randy Jordan. Hello, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. I am 1.3 billion Earths. How are you? That's a lot of Earths. A lot of Earths. Hey, a quick comic recommendation.

I know I did this the other day. I wanted to do it again because I'm enamored with it. I'm in love with it. Steven Schlecker recommended 8 billion genies. This, only three issues in on this, let's see who's publishing it. Image. And it already got optioned for a prime video television series. And now I understand why.

It's so great, you guys. Read 8 billion, I'm sorry, 8 billion genies. It's one of the most innovative ideas I've seen in comics in a very long time. All right. All right. All right. Write it down. Eight billion genies.

finished. Give me a minute. I need a minute. It's only, like I said, it's three issues in. Randy right now in my mind's eye is looking like Dr. Strange during Infinity War where he's looking at all the different possibilities. And they're trying to talk to him. He puts this hand up like, stop.

Don't talk to me. I'm dealing with all the things. And then you do, they need to do a number one and then Spider-Man crumbles to dust. It's fantastic. That's right. Exactly. We're going to proceed as if normal here.

Yes, we're Spagnolus. as of right now. She may join. If that's, if she does, great. Either way, we'll see how this goes. Hey, Brian, we talk about these streaming services, and we always start with you. Do you have a setup for this here, clip?

I do. It's a very short setup, and you'll understand why, as soon as you hear it. This is a film. Oh, all right, here we go. Julia was scuffed over herself. This pleaded to be so let for her.

Wow, we be. She was still, on the best of Fagermen. It was just for many forstiruses, for many millings, Updaterings for many things in Fiden For many that's said in the world She couldn't do no more

But had maybe The French connection So this is a reading movie It's a reading movie You don't even There's not even the option for a dubbed version What you're hearing there is not French, it is actually Finnish

Which is what they speak In Finland but also in Norway some parts of Sweden, but of course, Swedish is what you're going to hear there. Yeah, no, that is the movie you're hearing there is called the worst person in the world. And I'm here to tell you that it's an incorrectly labeled movie because the star of this film, a woman named Julie, played incredibly well by Renata Renciv, is definitely not the worst person in the world. She might think that she's the worst person in the world, but she absolutely isn't. So this is like Fleabag.

You're like, oh, I get, okay. You know, that's an interesting comparison right there. She, not just in that one connection right there, but also kind of in the style of this film. She never breaks the fourth wall like Phoebe Wallerbridge did in Fleabag. But it does follow this character's journey over the course of four years where, She goes from being a medical student to deciding that she doesn't like medicine, wants to be a psychologist and goes into psychology school, and then decides, oh, no, maybe not that either. I want to be a photographer. But it's her dating life, her family life, or the relationship with her father.

It is a beautifully shot, God, especially one scene that I just want to gush over, beautifully shot film that's kind of a slice of life. life of, of this character, Julie. There's always two categories for beautifully shot Scandinavian movies. I need to know, is it Norway, is it Norway in the summer or Norway in the winter? Those are very different results. Well, it's over four years. So you get a little bit of both, but primarily Oslo in the summer. Okay, good, good, good, good, good.

Yeah, and by the end of the film, you'll probably fall in love with Julie yourself because she's just such a deep and grounded character. Renata Renziv or Renzvi. Their names are so weird over there, but yeah, that's... Yeah, and the director is Joachim Trier. I had to look up the name because I was going to call him Joachim based, because it's similar to the spell to Joaquin, but with an M. But no, it's Joachim Trier.

He also did reprise, which had, Um, uh, no, it was, there was a movie he did with, uh, Jesse Eisenberg. And I'm sure I remember, that might not be part of the Oslo trilogy. Repreys and Oslo August 31st are, our, are other films in this quote unquote trilogy. To my knowledge, there's no connection to them other than the fact that all three of them take place in Oslo. Hmm. Yeah, this is, this is like your, your rising, uh, Norwegian, uh, director. Like, we're, we're going to probably see a, a Western English film out of,

him soon right you definitely will and um uh one of the things that's really helped push this this film and push uh yo kim's career is the fact that this film was not only nominated for best international feature at the recent academy awards but also best screenplay which it's very rare to find an international film um nominated for best screen play uh at least at the academy awards this thing did when she won Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival last year, well-deserved. She's incredible. National Board of Review gave it one of the best films of the year. I mean, all of it's well-deserved.

This thing is so good. If you can get past reading some words on the bottom of the screen. Yeah, you got to read some. But I thought this was the Mads-Mickleson thing. That's the name. That's the other one. one that's the one about the guy who stops or i'm sorry who goes overboard and drinking because they learn that it's uh that it can open your that it can open your conscience that open your mind

okay yeah also also a also a also a call i think also a another round that was it another round that's it yeah and that one was that's another subtitle one and that's also very good again This was a great year for foreign films with Drive My Car, Worst Person in the World, and another round. Both, all three of those, excellent. He's the only reason. If you can get past the length of Drive My Car. Sure, sure.

He's the only reason I'm actually somewhat excited about what Indiana Jones 5 might be like. Oh, right. Matt's the only reason. It's one of the only reasons. There's two reasons. James Mangold is the director, and I really like him. He made Logan. I can't think of other movies.

Oh, we just watched him. He did one of the born identity things. Anyway, identity movies, yeah. He's great. And so that's exciting. And also, Mads Mikhailson's been a great villain. But other than that, you know, what do we have to go off of? We got 900-year-old.

Well, we also know that Shia LeBuff isn't up and attached to this new film. I love that there's been news about that. Like, no, Shia LeBov. Oh, really? No, Chris Pratt. We got a whole news cycle a couple weeks ago. that Chris Pratt was not in this movie. We're like, okay, thank you.

I guess that's useful. So listen to this cast, Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller Bridge, speaking to her, Mads-Mickleson, Thomas Crenchman. I like that guy. He's in a bunch of stuff. Antonio Banderas for some reason. Toby Jones.

Like, oh, Toby Jones. Yeah, we might be in for something there. I don't know. That last one was such a piece of shit, though. It's just hard to get excited. We just need to wash the taste of Indiana Jones 4 out of our mouth. And maybe we'll get the quadrilogy that we deserve. Yes, indeed.

Anyway, this is the worst person in the world. It is streaming on Hulu. The other comparison I wanted to make was Amelie, which is another foreign film that's kind of a slice of life of a strong woman character that you kind of see her develop over the course of the film. But this is less, this is less Tweed. Yeah, I was going to say, Amelie is so precious constantly. yes yes this is not this is definitely not that and by the way not not uh striking that movie like i think amalie is fantastic oh it's fantastic but yeah this is not yeah this is not that but it's there's a there's a comparison that can be made between uh amalie and the worst person in the world nice yeah um

all right well that's awesome make sure to watch this uh and uh um and enjoy it and read a little bit you'll you'll be you'll be glad you did very nice um all right here's mine now uh this comes with a bit of a caveat. I was gone. First it does. I was, it's an old thing and I was gone a lot last week. So I didn't have a chance to watch much new, but I found some. Edge of tomorrow.

I found, that'd be funny. I found something that I love and forgot how much I loved it. And so I binged it. But it's older. And you guys know right away what it is. But I needed, I needed some nice, what did I need? I need some wholesome British.

I love, I love this kind of setup. And I just want to linger in it for us. I write like this moment before we hear this thing like you know it's just it's such a lovely moment please thank you for putting us here linger with your finger here we go this is it enjoy this clip ah lovely copper from it but a slightly dazily after taste perhaps how's that breakfast coming on well done lad ha ha ha very well done thanks chuck oh oh dear another baker battered with his own rolling pin huh would you credit it still looking on the bright side i suppose it means more business for us say grommet all right well obviously it's wallace and grommet i'm going to say wallets and grommet yeah which one love death what is this robots and grommet it's all of them i watched the collection they have That is basically the very first one, which is Grand Day Out. The second one, wrong trousers.

Third one is the close shave. And the last one's name leaves me. It's the Baker one. And that's the one I get the clip from. Yeah, yeah. They're, you know, spread out from like 1992, I think was Grand Day Out. When Nick Park's first film hit and won a bunch of, you know, awards for independent little mini film and all that or animated shorts and all that.

I think I saw it at one of those Mike and Ike's things when I originally saw. But anyway, they're all wonderful. The first one is somewhat of a, you get to see somebody making, you know, basically their college project. The wrung trousers? Is that the first? No, that was the second. And that's one. The first one's just Wallace and Grombe.

Yeah, that's Grand Day Out. And it's okay. It's fine. It's just, you know, it's him and his garage with none of the tech you would have later to really do, you know, expensive tracking and stuff you have to do with stop motion to make it look really nice. Like, it's just his earliest thing and it's wonderful and delightful but it was just such a setup for what would come

later and drunk trousers is so freaking good holds up to this day um i love it i love it i can't wait for that chicken run sequel i don't know what they're going to do about mel gibson but whatever um i love nick park i love his movies and so i just got in this mood i was like maybe it's because love death and robots just was washing over me still and it's just in the mood for some otour animated something so i sat down and watched all three of those four of those i guess and loved every second of it. The movie is also very good, although I didn't watch that this time.

The Curse of the Wear Rabbit's fantastic if you haven't seen it. And I mean, they don't make anything bad. There's no such thing as a bad Ardman film or short. If you've ever seen, what's the angry redhead one? Is Carter in the chat? Her and I love that.

I forgot the name of it. There's these shorts about an angry redhead kid that are a little bit, they're a little more raw, a little more adult, but it's about this kid who's always in the backseat of a car just being pissy to his parents.

I can't explain it. But it's all very British, right? And it made me want to watch Sean of the Sheep. Sean of the Sheep. Yeah, Sean the Sheep, the series. I've seen the movie many times. Sean The Sheep, the series, which is interesting because it doesn't really have dialogue in it. Just a lot of grunts and sounds and even the farmer's just like, bruh, oh dear.

It's like just like this very, very interesting kind of take. And it's the same style of stuff. It's just an amazing body of work. I love those guys. I love everything to do. and so if you want to just go have yourself a nice little time plop your butt down Paramount Plus has them all that's where I watched it

or I'm sorry Prime Amazon Prime sorry Prime I forgot where I watched these that's the problem there's too many of these services I'm getting to mixed up but great great time holds up in every possible way and it's just delightful and wonderful and ever since the voice actor for Wallace died

I forgot his name shit here I'll look it up voice actor uh yes what's his name peter salas peter salas thank you um known for the uh the something wine an old sitcom on british stuff if you ever seen that you know this guy is okay but anyway last of the summer wine that's what that's called anyway uh he passed away some years ago but even the guy that does the newer stuff sounds exactly like him like they i don't know how they did it but they did it so uh that's my recommendation this week it's a little older but worth every minute and Each of these is like 10 minutes.

Amazon Prime. Prime. Thank you. I was adding the link. It's so great. There's even a boner joke in the last, in the one that I said. Oh, really? The Baker one, yeah, which no kid is ever going to get because it's not how it looks,

but there's this moment. I'm pitching a tent from it. I won't even give away where or what. I want people to find out for themselves, but when you see it, you'll know in the Baker one, which is the fourth. I cannot remember the name of that Baker one. anyway it's wonderful stuff all right hey randy uh we got a clip here for you what do you got here all three of us are going for the antidote movies this week and i'm happy about this i i

guess i've just been in a mood maybe maybe you guys have too where it's just like i i've had enough of the like the winter and autumn kind of thinking and so i'm trying to watch things that are light and fun um and but at the same time this week i keep thinking about midnight mass for some reason. And I'm just like, I'm just like, screw you Emmys, stupid Emmys. Yeah, they should do. Those will never get the credit. Alex Garland stuff will never, or not Alex Garland, the other guy. He'll never get the credit he deserves, but that's okay because I love his work so much. Anyway, but like, it's just a time of, of the year for me, where I'm just like, let's watch something fun and light and, and, like, entertaining because

it's pleasant. So the clip you're going to hear is the, uh, the star of the, uh, the star of the movie talking to not the star of the movie the other star of the movie um i pulled this clip just because i love it so much the other person talking is one of my favorite living humans and uh i just i can't it's great like how did they get this guy in this movie i love this all right here enjoy what are you doing out here my appointments at 10 no you said you come at 10 i don't have any other appointments i have six clients okay how do you make a living with only six clients. I don't. I just became an online travel agent. See the posters? Oh, yeah. So, why do you need posters if it's online? Because they were free? Why do you always have to understand the reasoning

behind everything? Oh, well, that's the only way I can make sense of things. How's the boat? Water's still too cold. You don't get in the water. That's the point of the boat. Hmm. How's my account? Speaking of cold. 2% gains, which doesn't sound like much, because it isn't. Look, you've got to be more aggressive. If you let me put that in stocks, I could probably get you 10%. That would double your money in only...

7.27 years. Literally, the only time I was going to get to use that today. Nope. This is all we've got. I'm not about to gamble with. It's not gambling. It seems like a risk, but the market. Well, if you could lose it, it's gambling. I'll call you in a month for my next appointment.

Don't need an appointment. Okay. That's, so I know who the, I know Walter White's in this. Is that Brian, or I mean, uh, Michael McKeon? No, the guy from the daily show. It's the daily show guy. What's his name? Oh, it's Larry Wilmore.

Larry Wilmore. And I love, I love him so much. Like, I would have watched this movie if it was terror. just for Larry Wilmore. He has this podcast that he's been running most weeks, not most, not all weeks, but he has a podcast he's been running since he got canceled from Comedy Central. It's called Black on the Air. And it is just so good, guys.

It's one of those, like, we need to do recommendals on podcasts every now and then. This is one of the ones I just want you to, I want someone out there to listen to Larry Wilmore. He's great. He was the senior black correspondent on the Daily Show from most six to 24. I know, but not the star of the movie. He's just this other guy who lives in the same town as Brian Cranston. And importantly, we're missing his wife, Annette Benning. Annette Benning is perfect in this movie.

It's just a simple little story based on a true story of a couple in a small town where the, you know, the Brian Cranston character is really good with numbers and figures out a way to win a little money out of the lottery. He just figured he finds a loopholes. And so he starts He starts pursuing the loophole And you know As it goes like they're totally cool people

They're not they don't think of themselves as criminals They're not actually committing any crimes here They're they're really above board They even try to tell the lottery commission You know like hey there's this there's this issue here But they keep going with it They end up getting their entire town involved And it's like a revitalization moment

For all the people you know and it's just a it's just a beautiful little movie it's like it's got rain wilson and michael mckeon and uh anna camp is the daughter of brian cranston andette benning and it's just nice it's nice guys say the name jerry and marge go large is the name of the film yes yes yes this is on paramount right now i'm i'm sure you'll see it elsewhere and years to come it'll i think oh yeah no parent yeah i was going to say i saw it on prime video but it read just redirects you to paramount plus so is it a is it a happens a lot i hate that uh does it have um it's it's an exclusive to them or did they make it is like a original or um i don't know it doesn't matter

i don't know i mean it's got on the poster has paramount plus on it but like i don't know sounds like i just know it probably i just know that uh it's one of those movies where you're like i don't know how they got this made it's like too it's too easy you know like there's nothing there's really nothing exciting special like the music is pretty down the middle. It's just enjoyable. Like you need to watch some movie once. I'm a little worried.

So tell me this. This is one I had on my list. I definitely want to see it. It's based on a true story, which is always interesting to me to see what they do with that material. Is it, am I setting myself up for some really sad,

like, I don't want them to be arrested or freaking, they'd seem too nice. So that's my, literally, tell us the ending without tell us the ending. I guess what I'm saying is I don't, you don't have to tell me the ending, but I want to like, am I going to have that,

this feeling you're describing. Am I going to feel that way all the way through? Am I going to get hosed at the end? Okay. No, there is a conflict, but it's a conflict between these two retirees, Brian Cranston and Nett Benning, and some college students who also figure out the same thing that he did and are kind of competing for the, you know, the lottery prize winnings that they're trying to get. Sure. It's that conflict is is really kind of. cool it's not like a you know like there's not like people uh pulling guns on anybody or calling the police or whatever it's just they're you know they they have some they they generate some enemies because anytime you start making a lot of money you're going to generate some enemies yeah but it's not like that's it that's it that seems it seems fantastic it's definitely one i want to see um yeah i mean these are these are great actors you're talking about you know two of the two of the best maybe yes and uh i you know i you know i i find myself recommendeling Annette Benning.

I just can't help it. Like her. The stuff she's in, she picks good. It's not overwhelmingly good. Like she's not like, she's not making Oscar bait. Is it like you, am I,

I know you're a bit like me in this way, but every time I hear Annette Benning's name, I just want to watch Open Range again, because I love her in that. Of course. I want to watch the Gifters again. Oh, it's so good in that too. She's so good.

Yeah, she's awesome. She's good. And all those things she does. And even what was the, what was the one about the founding invasion? Vegas and the mobster. Yeah. Buckley.

Bugsy one was... Bugsy. Not Buckley. Yeah. It's Bugsy. That was it. I think it was just called Bugsy. That was fantastic.

She's always good. So, yeah. Signed. She is. Brian Cranston is playing a forced pensioner, right? Somebody who gets pushed out of his long time, lifelong job and finds himself, you know, suddenly retired and with a big brain and nothing to do. And so, like, that's why he's.

He's just dropping in on Larry Wilmore to talk about nothing. He's really got nothing to do. And he plays it a little bit stiff, right? This is supposed to be a guy who, you know, is kind of lost and older. So I understand what you're saying. Like, I can't have that person also get into bad trouble, right? Don't worry. It's totally cool.

Good. Well, that's awesome. Rain Wilson and Michael McKeon are a couple of the ten. townsfolk yeah and i just like i like it when people like that play roles like this you know yeah like i i kind of wish there had been more of the like best in show kind of movies not not specifically that right like christopher guest can wear on you we don't need we don't need a hundred of those but there's just a thing where you have good comic actors like this playing roles that bring some comic relief you know what i mean like i just i'm always i'm always

going to like a movie like this. That's what I'm saying. Always going to like this. I like this kind of stuff as well. Definitely on our list. So today's movies, once again, Brian, people have been asking us to restate the name. So Brian, yeah, absolutely. The worst person in the world streaming on Hulu. That's right. Go to Prime if you want to watch all this Wallace and Grommett stuff. I didn't check where the movie was. But if you want to stick around. It's not, it's not there. Sean the Sheep is definitely there. So you can watch all that and roll right into it. The Wallace and Gromit movie is $3.99 on Amazon. On Apple.

Worth it. Get it. And Randy's, of course. Randy, you want to say. Jerry and Marge, go large. Go large. Dr.

Watley and then Kevin Costner's girlfriend, go large. Well, there you have it. As always, a fun time hanging out. This weekend, we got your film sack coming up. And I think we're doing the...

Transportor too. That's right. If you didn't get enough transporter about a month ago, whew! And if you still don't get enough transporter. I think we got

Boy, we got the summer for you. Yeah, it's the transporter summer. I want to talk about my buddy Dino because he might hear me if I talk about him on film sack, but he'll never hear this. It just, as I told you, it's just funny that a friend of mine, a guy I've known for a while now, just suddenly discovered film sack and started texting me constantly about, you know, his experience is listening to Film Sack. And like, I'm just like, I'm letting it ride. I don't want to, I don't want, you know, he's, you know, like he went through the stage where he wants to recommend movies and now he's on to the. the stage where he's trying to recommend jokes and it's great. It's absolutely great. I love it so much. And it makes me want to like go to our Patreon and figure out a way for us to like, you know,

get people even more involved. Because it's just so, it's so fun when you're, you know, we need a multi-level, we need a multi-level marketing plan. That's what we need. Let's get that going. So the guy right above you gets a little money when you sell it. Get Filmsack out there in more ears. We'll have conferences we'll hire this is terrible yeah this is terrible no it's terrible i just want i just want people who listen to film sac to tell us what they want us to watch on film set we're going to get katy perry to perform it's going to be amazing you guys we're going to end up going to mexico to get cosmetic surgery together yep they're going to make made for tv movie about us it's all going to be shit oh it's going to be great can't wait what are you what are we thinking it's a terrible

Me. All right. Well, whoever had money on Nicole not coming at all, you won. Congratulations. Yay, I'll be collecting from all of you chumps out there. Good job. Real quick, I wanted to throw out, speaking of patrons, a a patron named Josh Josh Fitzgerald, who I know personally

is a really nice guy. In fact, Josh. I'm not sure I knew until today that he's in our Patreon and has been since 2014. So Josh, hats off and thank you, man. Super, super nice of you. If you want to be like Josh and be around since 2014, you can't do that.

But you can definitely join and be around since 2022. Go to patreon.com slash TMS today and find out why there's a level for you. and it's all super cheap. Don't let anyone tell you different. For a buck a month, you get so much stuff. It's insane.

Okay? I know you get spoiled because we only do it for a dollar as the entry level. I know that was on us for doing a monthly. That's only a dollar. I know. Whoops, I just threw an SD card across the room. Anyway. That should not be your fidget toy is an SD card.

I agree. Not only that, it's not even an SD card. It's an SD card reader with the slot for a microSD. Oh, okay, but there's no micro SD card. No, it's not currently in there. And then you're right. It's in my gigantic steam deck, which is bigger than my head. Oh, look at that thing.

It's pretty cool. It's the best birthday gift I ever bought myself. Anyway, uh, that's it. Frogpans.com slash DMS for everything else. Uh, play retro tonight, 3.30 Mountain Time. If you're into that, we're talking about Legacy of Kane, a very important game in the history of the PlayStation 1. And, uh, Brian, anything, you got anything else? Any new shows popping this week or anything?

No, no. official new shows, I mean, no unofficial new shows, but I might stream some, I don't think I'm lifting today, so I might stream some Marvel Snap if I get some other work done. Nice. Maybe just do like an hour of Marvel Snapage. Are we any closer to worldwide on that, or are we still? No, they just released an update that adds a big event. It's not really an event as much as it's an opportunity to buy packs, if you want to buy

packs. not really even buying packs you're buying, well, you're buying loot. It's the Gatcha thing. But no change from that to actual gameplay, even though all that announcement is causing some kerfuffle in the Marvel Snap community.

So, I mean, yeah, we're getting closer to worldwide release, but I still don't know when it's going to be. Well, watch for that. Brian's, if you're all following as a can, it'll pop, and you'll know. So get in there. There you go. Yeah, there you go.

And that's it. For the show, thank you all for listening. We'll be here tomorrow with a brand new lineup of, well, not a brand new lineup. The regular faces will be here. What, what's gone? What about me? We're not the, we're not the hosts anymore. Larry Wilmore, our senior black, Nicole will be here tomorrow. Yeah, Nicole will do the whole show by herself. Anyway, so that'll do it. Boy, that'd be an all-female show because you'd have her and Amy and then Wendy. And Amy and Wendy, yeah. Yeah. Wow. All right. Enough sausages for one day. Hey, Brian. Why don't you play us a song here at the end of the show, please?

Yes, sir. This is going out to Frank Rodriguez, says, Good Morning, Steak and Briscuit. I'm having steak for dinner night, coincidentally. Perfect. I'm requesting a more upbeat cover of a song I've loved for quite some time and his extra special meaning. The original was the song, my uncle's wife,

walked down the aisle too on the day of their wedding. They were high school sweethearts, whose relationship ended when their lives took separate paths as she was off to college, and he was off to become a major league baseball player. For the decades that followed, they each experienced their shares of highs and lows, including a career-ending injury for my uncle and a really abusive marriage for her. They would both end up divorced in their 50s and by fate and chance would find each other again. The rest is history, and as the song's title and lyrics suggest, it was almost as if they waited a thousand years for each other, but now share the rest of their lives together.

I love this story. Happily in love and support for one another. to celebrate love triumphing at the end please play newfound glory's cover of a thousand years and for those interested check out the original by christina perry roll the dough yo frank info previously from america's wang and now in north carolina southern tadpool meet up here i come yeah that's a way that's a good move florida's weird yeah your governor there sucks he's a turd anyway but frank info i love that story about uh uh those the the two of them coming apart and then finding each other again. That's so awesome. All right. So the request is Newfound Glory's cover of Christina Perry's A Thousand Years. This is from 2019's From the Screen to Your Stereo, Volume 3, the third in their series of covers of movie songs, which have been great.

If you like Newfound Glory, this is, you're going to love this. Here's their cover of A Thousand Years. All right, that's it. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Heartbeats fast colors and promises gotta be brave, how can I love that love that and I'm afraid to fall watching you stand alone.

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow One step closer I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid. I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more Time stand still beauty in all she is I will be brave
