Good morning, everyone, and welcome to TMS for Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Abbott. Hello. Hello. Brian Abbott.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Hello. You know, we have to do, we have to do it all podcasters, radio people, television people. They all have to do this one thing that we all have in common. Okay, what is it? We all have to have some chatter before the show. In our case, we record a little pre-show. In TV's case, they're just sort of chatting and saying, checking your tie and makeup, ladies, making cheer good, and all that. And then you got to start the show and act like, no, like we all appeared there.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Like, we apparated out of nothing. We've been waiting to say hello to each other until this very moment. Oh, hi, Scott. Yeah. Oh, surprise. You're here too. It's very weird. It's a weird thing that just is part of the medium, and I'm not going to change it. We're just going to keep it the way it is. So anyway, we're back. It's Wednesday, which means lots of stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:11 We got a big packed show. We may as well get straight to it. I had a weird dream. And I cannot figure this one out. Get the cards. Get the cards. I already checked the cards. There's nothing in there like this. Really? Okay. Zero. So you tell me what you think this means, Brian. It's your day to interpret. But here we go.
Starting point is 00:02:28 All right. In the dream, it didn't matter who I talked to, people in my family, guy at the store, for some reason, a dealership that sold SUVs, for whatever reason, that was very specific, but also restaurants and other things. Everywhere I went and talked to somebody and said, excuse me, sir, can you tell me where the home goods section is or whatever? Their answer to me was, get the key. That's it. That's it. I was like, hey, Kim, you want to go to lunch? Get the key.
Starting point is 00:02:57 everyone said get the key all the way across everything everyone i personally knew in the dream which now's a fuzzy about who i met i don't think you were in it but there was a lot of people i knew didn't know didn't matter dreams always have the ability of making you think that you'd done a bunch of things before that right they they implant these false memories of oh yeah you talk to this person you talk to this person you talk to this person even though that's where your dreams started you it comes with all of these memories of all these other people yeah so you might think you talked to all those people about get the key but in reality who knows no yeah who knows plus it's all flash memory anyway right like i feel like you probably had this dream in an hour before i woke up
Starting point is 00:03:38 so yeah it represented well it felt like days weeks whatever is probably a minute or maybe not even that there's like no time it's just like one big flash memory i don't know but what is get the key i don't know okay well obviously so everything everything was hinging on one element one item that you needed and everybody was kind of sounds like everyone was kind of relying on you to have that thing right kim was relying on you the SUV yeah dealership was relying on you yeah um and that key might not be something physical or tangible it might be like they're waiting on you to have something before they all can move forward and you don't know what that thing is there you go i think that's probably true but what that what that what i don't know i don't know i don't know but there
Starting point is 00:04:24 was nothing. I don't know why we don't why doesn't Wendy like we honestly could could forego emails from listeners and just have Wendy analyze you every week. She probably could although I should probably hate being like a dream diviner or something but well yeah of course but yeah like who knows what's always there's always some not always but there's often truth in dreams or often often problems in dreams that that you're you're not facing or looking at when you're awake so dreams is the only time that that you're relaxed enough for those things to say all right here's what you're doing wrong would you please look at this and solve this problem sure it makes sense if i've been sitting around playing doom all the time because they're always
Starting point is 00:05:06 looking for the red key and the yellow key oh could be could be as simple as that right have you played uh atary 2600 adventure no none of that i haven't played any games that require you to find keys so i i tossed that one out the other thing was like my actual keys like where are they right now. Well, they're hanging on my little key wall thing where I only need them when I need them and I take them from there. They're fine. We had the key incident with the mailbox last week. Maybe that was it. Sure. Right. Could be. Get the key. But it was like kind of haunting. You'd be just like in a grocery store line and everyone's just chatting and the saying, you know, Jeffrey don't pull on the thing. You know, just taking care of their kids or whatever, our parents and stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:46 And then suddenly the guy in front of me would turn around, look at me. And then his face would go slack and he'd go get the key and then it would flash to another one it was really freaking weird so I didn't like it yeah definitely feels like there's something that you're that you are looking for in your own life
Starting point is 00:06:06 or like avoiding or something that everybody's trying to tell you to find or identify or I only take this stuff seriously if I have a recurring dream or do I do I try to figure out what this means I don't know I don't know, probably neither. It's probably nothing, right?
Starting point is 00:06:22 It's probably nothing. It's probably just me going. Rehan or Rehan TMS says, except that all dreams are nonsense? It's like, well, I mean, on the surface, yeah, but I think that there is, I think that there is, in some cases, a thing in your life that is related to what you're trying to do and accomplish that is, it comes to the forefront in your dreams. I don't believe it's like premonitions at all. I think that's utter garbage. I don't believe in that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:48 but but um but i do i do think that there are times that you're subconscious um really just a thing that you are trying not to think about in your daily life that when your brain relaxes it's able to to to basically say okay here's the thing you're avoiding in life yeah you're venting basically you're carrying some afterburner vent in there in your sleep which i think is probably true but i have no idea what this is so if if i was meant to know something about a key well i don't know tell you. I don't know jack shit about no keys. Okay. I mean, really, it literally could be the Doom key. Right. It literally could be the doing for a key in Doom. Yeah, it might be that. I don't know. I did install Doom, uh, the 2016 Doom re-revention game on, uh, my Steam deck. See how I would run. Oh,
Starting point is 00:07:36 nice. By the way, it runs freaking beautifully. Um, but I didn't do, I didn't play very long. So maybe, maybe my brain was like, hey, you didn't play long enough to get a key. Right, log back in, turn it on, play the game, get the key. Yeah, and they're like, oh, my brain's like, you didn't get the key? Well, then here, go to sleep, and then I'll have a bunch of faceless, nameless people and people you know tell you to get the key. Right. It's effed up, man. Whatever, my brain.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Also, we also got this. This is cool. Send and receive email. It's an email from Robin, Texas. Okay. Not Robin, Texas. Like Robin Hood, Texas. no not that although i was looking at some actors today and i was reminded i put this on twitter
Starting point is 00:08:23 but i was reminded of this actor with an amazing name his name is frank deal how cool is that frank deal what kind of a deal frank deal frank deal that's what kind of deal anyway uh he says this about the door dashing thing um hey guys in lieu of your pre-show discussion a couple of days ago about brian's weird lift drop off i thought you might like to know about this weird door dash delivery i was tasked with all right so he's a door datcher all right says um it was a all green shopping order that requested the following items be delivered to a really swanky hotel in Austin, Texas around 11 p.m. Okay. Here's what they wanted. Two bottles of vitamin water. One spray bottle of oxyclean stain remover. One six pound bag of Epson salt. One pint of
Starting point is 00:09:07 Ben and Jerry's ice cream and one plan B contraceptive pill. Someone had an interesting night. Yep, thanks all you do, Rob. That's an amazing thing. I love it. Wow. That is all the stay. I mean, you know, I don't, I don't, uh, like to throw around the, just like a Saturday night at Emmett's house thing, but, um, that does feel like a, uh, yeah, and some of it I get. Okay, vitamin water, refreshing. It's a cool drink. You got water. It replenishes your lust. Uh, oh, I guess, no, vitamin water isn't like coconut water. Vitamin water is just, just just, just water. It's just water. Healthier, I guess it's supposed to. I don't even know if it is. The, the oxyclean steam remover, eh, that could be, uh, I dumped,
Starting point is 00:09:48 lasagna dinner on something I don't know I have no idea six pound bag of Epson salt that's for like when your feet hurt or some shit isn't it?
Starting point is 00:09:56 What is that for? Yeah I think so I mean that's not yeah what else do you use Epsom salt for it's not like it's a it's a terrible lube or a it's a bad lube
Starting point is 00:10:08 don't use it for lube is what I'm saying no God for sure yeah don't use that the Ben and Jerry's I guess you're just feeling peckish I don't know and then
Starting point is 00:10:18 And the plan B? I don't know. It's, you know, they plan for everything, really, is what they've done here. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Can't really blame them, I suppose. But anyway, Rob, that's awesome. And did you, so I guess if you're a door dasher, well, I guess that's a dumb question. If you're, you can bring stuff to hotel rooms. No big deal. You shut up the elevator and knock on the thing and leave it there. Absolutely. Yeah, or you, or you meet them in the lobby. You drop it off in the lobby and say this is for room 618 or something. Do you ever done that? Had to order at a hotel for anything? I don't DoorDash. Oh, that's right. You don't do it. Oh, have I, are you asking if I've ever been in a hotel and ordered DoorDash or something like that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Yeah, have you ever done that? I don't think I have. I'm trying to think if I have. I've done pizzas. Yeah. But pizzas are already being delivered, you know? Yeah, I mean, the closest I've done is room service, and that's rare. Like, that's, you know, I haven't done room service since maybe one of those times that I was doing an install in some,
Starting point is 00:11:15 in some newspaper city. and just got to the hotel too late to run out and get dinner somewhere else, you know? Sure, sure, sure. Well, I'm definitely curious about these people, Rob, but this is all the info we have, so we thank you for your service. It's probably better in our minds with this list than an actual reality, right? Like, it's, you know, it probably was just some innocuous, like, yeah, like you said, spilled lasagna, room service lasagna on the floor and then had sex and just want to be prepared
Starting point is 00:11:47 in case I need to take something the morning out. Yeah, and then we're planning on a rough night of intercourse, so I'd sure like some Epsom salts to soak in afterwards. Right, to have a nice soak, nice bath, soak afterwards. Yeah, you can't blame them. Sure, sure. Guess what, everybody, it's time for us to play a game. Yeah, that's right, it's Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And we've got a guy coming on who's pretty cool. You might know him. You might like him even. His name is Brian, and here is his thing. Look who it is. Brian Dunaway joining us after a whiplash morning. You were busy, right? We weren't sure you were going to be here. You made it. Oh, here's Brian's thing. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. Hi. Hi. Nice to see your thing. Morning. I was, I was bouncing around and you're doing all the things. Yeah. We're here. Yeah. Do you get all done? You got your dad all taken care of what? You had something to you had to drive him somewhere or something happened, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The vehicle of, it had stopped working this morning, so he had drop it off it.
Starting point is 00:12:46 the mechanic. Oh, well, the mechanic. He needed a lift, but not the kind you call for. The kind, that's right. Yeah, not that kind of lift. The kind with an eye. That's right. The kind with the bry eye on.
Starting point is 00:13:00 We have a listener on the line who's going to be playing this game with us today. Let's find out who it is. Hi, who's this? Oh, they hung up. Oh. They hung up right as I was unmuting them. So they were there. I don't know what happened to him.
Starting point is 00:13:14 All right. Hey, call back. whoever that was or anyone else who wants to call in. 801-471-0-4-6-2 is the number? You lose! Yeah, yeah. You get nothing. Good day, sir.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah, no prizes for you, you slacker ass. Oh, while I'm waiting for the Scull and come in, Donaway, do you remember a game? Sure, what's a soup for you, huh? Remember a game we talked about on the boop show called Wildfire? Do you remember that? Yes, that way I loved Wildfire. That was a great game. Yeah, the little stealth guy that got fire powers after a while, and he could, like, bounce
Starting point is 00:13:44 these fireballs around and do all kinds of kind of. pounds of damage. Anyway, that's a really good Steam Deck game. Just wanted to let you know. Oh, it looks perfect. That's kind of a side-scrolling platform-y, so that'd probably be perfect, right? Perfect for a little taken-on-the-road kind of deal. I played way too late last night, so. It is kind of, it kind of looks retro because it's got those old-school kind of pixelated. Sorry, I liked it. I love that game. Yeah, that game's awesome. So, congrats to you for reminding me how good it was. Oh, wait, why is this happening?
Starting point is 00:14:15 Hold on. No, maybe you should answer that call. This is weird. Okay. The calls are coming from inside. I don't know what's happening. Hi, who's this? Hi.
Starting point is 00:14:24 The phone, Commissioner Jordan. Hello? Hello? Hello? Hi, who's this? There. It's Claire. Oh, it's Claire.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Oh, it is Claire. All right. My gosh, Claire. She's clear across the planet all the way over in... That's the reason why it sounded different. Yeah, yeah, no kidding. She's over there in the land of whatever you do. The land of ire.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Yeah. You guys are so higher. Irie. All right. What time is it there, actually? What time are you doing this? It is past four. Passed four, like PM?
Starting point is 00:14:56 Past 4 a.m. Oh, A.m. Past 4 PM. Oh, it is PM. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Well, she's a party girl. We know that.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Anyway, we're glad you're here. Can you put your mouth closer to the mouthpiece of your phone, please? Oh, yeah. You're super far from it. I can. This is my stupid potato iPhone that I have to use. Oh, it's much better now. phone and I get three minutes on it.
Starting point is 00:15:17 That's totally fine. You sound better now. Well, it's much better now. Much better now. Hey, Brian, we explained to Claire what the hell we're doing so she can win the thing. Yeah, yeah, it's time to play the tadpoole feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that you guys gave us. Now, it's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. But Claire, you are more important than ever, as you know, because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian.
Starting point is 00:15:44 If your team wins, you get a prize package. That includes a game called My Friend Pedro. Oh, that's a good game. It's so good. Yeah, it's awesome. It sounds like Scott's description of your bath dream last night. It's so good. I mean it.
Starting point is 00:15:59 It's a really good game. It's like this awesome. It's got kind of cool physics going on and stuff. Yeah, bullet time, slow-mo stuff. It's awesome. It's really cool. Nice. And you'll also get a copy of F1, 2019 anniversary edition.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Ooh. Okay. Even though it's three years old, it's still exciting and fun. It's anniversary. Yeah. Plus, listen, the Europeans love their F1 racing, is my understanding. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they're into it.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I don't know about Claire, probably not. She's like, sure, I'd be into it. Well, nice. I'm excited then. Let's do this. Let's play. Yeah, all right. We'll get your hands ever so close to your buzzers.
Starting point is 00:16:36 We asked 805 tadpoolers their answer to this. what 1970s or 1980s movie needs a remake no
Starting point is 00:16:48 that's got oh my gosh my brain just went blank commando I don't know Commando Commando
Starting point is 00:16:55 I don't know why it didn't happen I knew it wasn't going to Brian doesn't need a remake now I'm worried no
Starting point is 00:17:03 no commando yeah you got to go you have to not go commando you got this don't say Now I'm confused.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Never mind. Don't say that I'm going to say one. Okay, so I get to stall a little bit, right? Because now I get the, I get the, okay, I'm sorry. I'll just go with, I'll just go with something stupid then. I'll go with the, I think never-ending story needs a reboot. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Show me. Yeah, you know that one. All right, Lamala, you done? All right, show me the never-ending story. which is the never-ending game song. Number seven on the list, and that means you have two things. You've got control of the board, and you've got Claire. Two important things.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Two of the best things ever. All right, you chuckleheads. What are you going to do? Oh, go ahead. Now, hold on. So now I'm going to give you like a little bit of a, not a qualifier, but a little bit of help. Because, listen, we had 805 people respond to this. um 20 of them said no movies should ever be remade ever and like 30 30 or 40 of them yeah yeah 30 or 40 of them said uh pass but the remaining people gave us 229 unique answers
Starting point is 00:18:26 oh my god moses yes so i'm going to help you guys out a little bit otherwise this thing will be you know one and done pretty darn quick yeah yeah um seven of these movies were released between 1984 and 1986. Of course they were. 84 was the best time ever. There's only one movie from the 70s. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:48 And then the remaining two movies were released in early 80s, 1980 and 1982. So I'm going to help you out with that much information. There was only a couple of movies I could think of her from the 70s. Go ahead, Claire.
Starting point is 00:18:59 What you're saying? There's one that I think was the one that I answered when I sold it out and it came to my head instantly. I think it's mid-80s, the Goonies. Oh, Goonies. The Goonies needs a reboot.
Starting point is 00:19:14 You are correct. Remake it, Claire. You're the best. I like how the Irish say, the Gunnies. The Gunnies. Show me the Gunnies. That's got to be on there. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:19:24 That shouldn't go to Scott. That should go to Brian. There we go. Goonies, number one. Look at Claire. No one. You're on the board. 46 people said the Gunnies, or they might have said the Goonies, but at least one of them
Starting point is 00:19:37 so you get another one in your hat there Claire I think you probably have the pulse of the Tadpool more than I do I have some movies from 84 85 86 but I think you probably know what's totally blanking I have no idea okay then I will I will take a stab then I think it's the time to bring a back of the garrimlins I'm sure
Starting point is 00:20:06 Good answer. Good answer. What's Phoebe Kate's doing these days? You know, she's got talent. Right. All right. Show me Remlins. Number six. Damn it.
Starting point is 00:20:19 I'm going to get killed. I'm going to get murdered today. This isn't going to work. No. No. There's so many any movies I don't want to be remade, but, you know. Yeah. The problem is so many of those movies already had sequels and stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:32 And I just don't know if they're going to say, because a lot of of them even move on into the modern times sure hmm yeah because everything okay um player you got you got another one already have rebuts as well or I uh I don't know what's it called what you call it reboot reboot a reboot oh reboot the reboot we'd like to see reboot the reboot could you could you throw that one up there for us thanks man No, no, don't do that. Well, oh, God, there's this so freaking, uh...
Starting point is 00:21:15 Yeah, I know. I mean, we haven't seen a Back to the Future film. It would just be so ripe to have a Back to the Future film, but would anybody say? I don't know. Go off a Back to the Future. All right, all right. Show me, Marty, we've got to get you back to 2015. Oh, you don't want to run.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Rememate that. I can't. You can't. Listen, I know the original. The originals are absolutely beloved, and they stand their place. But, you know, all right, can you think of, you know, maybe there would be a couple new actors and some new technologies and stuff that could be like, all right, maybe this could work. I don't know. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I don't know. I think there are other things I'd much rather see them make before this. Yeah. Claire. Do you have another one? I did think of one, I think, I think, said, I do know. is, well, Ferris Bueller? Oh, Ferris Bueller's day off?
Starting point is 00:22:09 I was thinking that, yes, I think Ferris Bueller, all grown up, needs another day off, this time, for more. Oh, you want like a sequel. Oh, that would be a sequel, like, Matthew Broderick, day job, these, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:26 the guy's off work. Sure, sure. He definitely needs to be the parent in this situation with some rowdy child. Oh, God, you think of past the baton story. You don't think it'd be like, how am I supposed to face being an accountant on a day like this?
Starting point is 00:22:43 Tried to fake to fake sick to his wife. I'd sign up for that. Sure. All right. Show me Ferris Bueller's day off. Bueller. Bueller.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Bueller. Bueller. Come on. That's a shame. That's a real shame. Number 27 on the list. People did say it, but none. enough to make the list to the top ten. I've got some thinking time now.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Let's see here. Scott has some time now to maybe get some points. Yeah, I want some points. That's what I want. It would be no surprise to either of you that very, very many of these are film sac, the movies we've watched on film sack. Yeah, I would assume as much. Wouldn't surprise me. I think actually, with the exception of one, the remaining seven, so six of the seven that are still on the board,
Starting point is 00:23:34 no, I'm sorry, five of the six that are still on the board. We've watched for Film Sack. Really? Interesting. It won't help you because we've done so many years of Film Sack, but... Yeah, there's like 550 movies or something. All right, I'm going to go with... I don't know why I'm saying this.
Starting point is 00:23:52 It's a dumb one. I'm not going to get it. I'll say Die Hard. Die Hard. That is great. Yeah, nobody wants a remake, though, including me, so I don't know why I'm saying it. But I'll say Die Hard. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Show me. come to the feud we'll have a few laughs oh really yeah but people did say it Scott how many people said it there we go two people said it it was number 76 on the list geez way down there okay way down there yeah I'm really
Starting point is 00:24:22 I'm really picking him to win today I'm doing great all right you two right um Claire should we can we can we ignore John Hughes films, or do we need to get in there? Oh.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, breakfast club. Breakfast club. All right. Breakfast club. Breakfast club. Agreed. I almost said breakfast club, but, you know. Yep.
Starting point is 00:24:48 I think that's the, I think that is it. That is ripe for a remake there. Show me. Lunch club. Eat my shorts. Shorts. Shorts. Yeah. Number five.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Damn it. Damn it. I should have gone, my guys. All right. I'm also thinking, right? So beloved, but, yeah, I mean, you know, what would they do for a 2020's breakfast club? I don't even know, because kids who watch that movie now, they get as much out of it as I did. You know, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Yeah, I can see that. Five people sitting in a library for two hours just playing on their phones. Basically is what it would be. Yeah, I know. That's the thing is if they remade it, it need to be set in the 80s again. I just don't know how you do it right, but whatever. Well, John Vrynne would just need to take phones away. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:25:40 That's true. You would. Don't you forget about me. What do you think about the 16 candles, Claire? What do you think? You think that's something that could be remade in a modern tale? I don't think I've seen that long. Well, you should.
Starting point is 00:26:00 You should. It's good. Okay. there's some nice culturally insensitive stuff but it's still good let's let's just give it a spin let's uh let's let's give it a spin let's get that 16 candles all right uh show me 16 candles two people said at number 96 on the list you're tied for whatever you know all those people who make two moves probably tied for a hundred others yeah you're tie your your your john hues luck ran out. That's right. Control back over to Scott. Okay. Let's see here. This is hard.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I know what I want to say, but no one said it. A lot of Marty got the treatment, right? Yeah, they did or are getting it soon. Um, uh, like I can't say Ghostbusters really. Oh, maybe I can. Like a full, like a proper remake of Ghostbusters, not this sequel business. You know what? I'm going to say, I'm going to say somebody. said Ghostbusters. Hopefully enough people said it. Enough people. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Show me Ghostbusters. What is my luck? Somebody was afraid of ghosts. Let's see. Did anybody say Ghostbusters? I don't know. Ghostbusters. This is the problem is new stuff now, so they don't need it.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Nobody said Ghostbusters. Wow. Two hundred and twenty-nine movies from the 80s. Holy smokes. Yeah. That's lame. Okay, so that says a lot. That says a lot, and that kind of backs me off from some things that I was thinking,
Starting point is 00:27:37 like my smart-ass answer to say Top Gun. I didn't want to do it, so I'm not going to. Claire, I have a couple of more in my head. What you got? You got something? I'm drawing a blind. I'm just going to have Reboots and sequels. I know.
Starting point is 00:27:56 They have rebits and sequels. Like that Top Gun thing, obviously. Got a sequel now. Yeah, Ghostbusters just had that. that thing, why not? I think. Yeah. You think?
Starting point is 00:28:07 I think they'll bring back, uh, I think they ought to bring back, uh, Lambert and Connery. You know, that's, that'll be some special work for the Conner. Oh, you know what? That would be great. A Highlander redo. I think the Highlander would be an excellent. Yeah, man. Get your, uh, how is, uh, TV's Travis feeling about that situation?
Starting point is 00:28:28 He's probably, oh, yeah, he looks at the Highlander, right? He's probably stoked. Yeah, at least he said it, I'll bet. It was all just a pump out for my friend TV's Travis. You're welcome. Yeah, well done. Show me, Highlander. If this isn't on here.
Starting point is 00:28:43 What? Number 23, tied for about five movies that seven people mentioned Highlander. That makes no freaking sense to me. Okay. Why is this so hard? Because there's so many movies to choose from. And you don't know if people are picking good movies that they love and want to see a again in a new way or picking bad movies that need to be a smart ass right well or no picking
Starting point is 00:29:07 bad movies that are well deserving of oh being remade into something better yeah yeah all right how they're making this though I'd like to see a bad take on police academy just saying uh I mean all the other sequels of police academy are pretty bad takes on police academy we've seen right they're all bad um all right I'm going to go ahead and just toss out the uh the the one that I don't think, I think is already being made. And so, or maybe it's a series,
Starting point is 00:29:36 but I think, I don't know, I think people might still say it. So I'll say Lost Boys. Los Boys, sure. That's good. Yeah. I love that.
Starting point is 00:29:43 They're making something. Somebody is. Number two. How do you like those maggots, Michael? Show me Lost Boys. Damn it. And our game is over. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:53 Lost Boys was way high on the list, though. Number 18 on the list. So one of the closer ones to the top 10 that, you guys have guessed. Which means Claire is one. It was a shutout from Brian and Claire. Well done.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Let's go through the rest of these because I want to see what you guys think about these. I think some of these actually work pretty well. Show me number two. The Last Starfighter. Oh, I'd be into that. Can I remember the Last Starfighter? I love that movie.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Damn it. So good. So good. This one absolutely in need of a remake, just something better, especially with modern special effects and technology. It's our only 70s movie on the list. It's Logan's run. Oh, Logan's Run.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Really, once again, I am shocked at the depth that you guys love 80s movies and 70s movies. Wow. Yeah, they go deep. One of the first modern Marvel movies, this one definitely, I don't know, could see a reboot sometime in our lives with the popularity of the Guardians of Galaxy and stuff like that. that. Ah, Howard the Duck. Yes. Howard the Duck, yes.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Boo. I'd say more likely a Disney Plus eight episode series kind of thing. Every couple years they talk about doing something with Howard a Duck
Starting point is 00:31:13 and it just never happens. By the way, the Lost Boys thing is a TV adaptation. It was supposed to air in 2020. It's still happening, but is not out.
Starting point is 00:31:21 No, don't make it on it. There's too much vampire TV. We need a movie. It could be good vampire TV. I love the vampire TV. Yeah, she, this is Claire.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Empire TV, too, exactly. They have real vampires where she lives. Don't just turn into a teenage romance CW Dracula. Don't do it. Okay. I'll tell all my friends in Hollywood, not to do it. Yeah, don't do it. All right, show me number nine.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Alligators in the Spurs. E.T. Really? Oh, that's a hard one. Yeah, I don't see how you could remake that. Yeah, but they'd have a set of radios. They had all those radios. they turned into guns into radios they could turn them into cell phones and just
Starting point is 00:32:03 good to go all right interesting like would you do it as a modern again modern times alien comes down et tic-tok home be friends he becomes a social media sensation oh my god shoot me now that's good don't do it yeah this is one uh we've even talked about recently as being surprised that there hasn't been a reboot or remake lately uh number 10 flash Gordon. Oh, that would be good. Yeah. With your mingo phone.
Starting point is 00:32:33 With your mingo phone. That's right. Everybody knows your line, Brian. They all remember your freaking line. It's amazing. Here, let me play it. I'm going to play it. Let it.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Play it. Here it is. Brian Dunaway many years ago, 2015, saying this. Boobie Slave. Boobie Slave, retrieve me my mingo phone. I need to contact Flash Gordon. One of my favorite.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Favorite things you ever started. Boobie Slave. Boobie Slave. Anyway, you know what that means, Brian? They won, didn't they? Yeah. They did. Brian and Claire won.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Claire's going to get prizes. Brian is just going to get the satisfaction of knowing that he helped Claire get prizes. Yay. Congratulations, Claire. I will email these games to you, and you can play with Pedro as much as you like. Yeah, play with Pedro until he doesn't want to be played with anymore. Here's your winning thing. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:33:25 You're a winner. If I don't play that, Christine gets mad. So I have to play it. Yes. Claire, how do you feel about your big win? How's it feel? I feel great, but I want to donate from someone in the title, so pick someone random because I still don't have a personal computer
Starting point is 00:33:40 and I can't get all that stuff in my work laptop. You've got to pick a random. I do love the fact that you call it a personal computer. I don't have a personal computer. I don't have my own computer. I have my work computer, but it's not my personal computer. Yeah. I'm understandable.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Okay. All right, we'll randomly. pick somebody in the tad pool right now. Get one of these. Play it on there. There you go. Scott, pick somebody random in the pool. All right. I'm going to pick a rando here. Here we go. We're going to go with mush potatoes. Mushed potatoes. Much potatoes is our random winner.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Mushed potatoes. Congratulations. Mush potatoes. You are getting the games, email me, and I will send you the link, and you can thank Claire for her generosity. That's right. And her guineas. Don't forget about her guineas. Thanks, Claire. Have a good one. much potatoes that email is coverville at gmail.com because you didn't remember and a quick correction the lost boys TV thing was it's not a series or is not going to be a series it's a TV movie
Starting point is 00:34:41 so Brian you're getting your wish but it's on like a streaming channel of some sort I don't know who uh yeah paramount or something now oh it might be HBO because it's Warner Brothers HBO so it could be yeah I can't wait to watch it for film sack yeah yeah I uh it might be good who knows I don't know might be Yeah, it's possible. Need Corey Feldman back. That's what you need.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Yeah, bring the Corrie's. We got one Corey left. We have one Corey left, yeah. I feel like every time I see him, I feel like he's barely hanging on. Yeah, I feel like, you know, he's no Vince Scully. He's not going to live to almost 90. I can tell you that. Or no, I'm sorry, almost 100.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Vince Scully died today or yesterday. The voice of baseball. Yeah, that guy, as far as I'm concerned, the sound of baseball is that guy's voice. Like, I can't hear it. and not just think of all the best things about the game. And if I see a baseball game and it isn't him doing play-by-play, something fills off. That's how big of an influence that dude was. He was huge.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Yeah. Anyway, rest in peace. Hey, Brian, Donaway, you're, well, you're alive. And here's how I know. Yes. Yesterday, you and I recorded a play retro episode all about the strike series, the early EA helicopter go and do a mission deal that was on the Genesis Super Nintendo and eventually the 32-bit systems as well. and then they dumped the whole thing
Starting point is 00:36:01 and did a weird mech game for the original Xbox. Future cop. Yeah, Future Cop's awesome, but we really love those strike games. So we did a whole episode on it. If you want to check that out, look for Play Retro where you get your podcast. Of course, the Vod or the video archive is up on
Starting point is 00:36:17 our YouTube channel as well as Twitch. And Brian plays a lot of these games on his Twitch channel himself. Brian Dunaway on Twitch, right? Yeah, Brian. That's right, right. This week where we're doing Beavis and Butth in honor of the new Beavis and Butthead show starting August the 4th on Paramount Plus.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Yeah, well, tomorrow. I'm in, dude. I'm so excited. Is it coming out in a couple episodes to start? Are they going to just do us one, or do we know? Do you know? We're going to find out. We're going to find out together as friends.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Anyway, that'll be next week. And, of course, Film Sack this weekend. You can find Brian on Twitter at the Brian Dunaway. Brian, have a great day. And we'll see you later, you big giant, sweaty turd. Okay, bye. Oof. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Woof. Wow. It's all to give you time to email the codes. That's all. Yep, they did. And he got them. Awesome. See, look at this.
Starting point is 00:37:05 This is efficient. It's a collaboration. It's a work-together kind of effort. That's right. Good job, Mush potatoes. You did your part. We have some time for some news. And that begins with this.
Starting point is 00:37:19 It's time for the news. And it's brought to you by. Bug, Zapper, neighbor. For those nights, you just want to be. up all night. Yeah. So we got this neighbor right behind us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:32 And I can hear her bug zapper from eight miles away, I swear. Oh, my God. All night just. Yeah. And the dogs can hear it. So they're like, meh, meh,
Starting point is 00:37:42 like trying to figure out what's going on. I freaking hate it. I get that you want to, how does she sleep is what I want to know. It's right there in her yard. Right. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:37:51 You might be a situation where, you know, you get used to it and all of a sudden you need it to sleep, right? Mm. Good point. And when we had, like, in the spring when it was warm enough to open windows, but not too warm that you couldn't, you know, you didn't EAC or whatever. So we'd have our windows open at night. I love doing that. I just love the sound of the world, you know, while you're sleeping.
Starting point is 00:38:11 But then it just got worse as the summer went on because more bugs and all that. Anyway, hey, let's start things off in the news today with one of these. Utah Connection. Oh, good. Yeah, that's right. A Utah man sparked a 60-acre blaze. Massive, I couldn't think of the word I was trying to say, massive fire.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Really? Magger, maga, ma. After trying to set a spider on fire with a lighter. Got out of hand. 60 acre Utah wire fire, sparked by a man who told police started the mountainside blaze when he tried to kill a spider with a lighter. Utah County Jail records.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Lighter, that's a great ride. Small fries, big Mac. It feels like it's a line from a rap song. It's pretty good. I think you should make that rap song and then perform on it. make it me and uh and uh and run river run we'll get together on that one yeah where is dmc anyway he's just like uh utah wait someone died oh no he's dead i think darrell mcdaniels did die right no it's the other it's their dj jazzy jeff guy it's not not dj jazzy jeff but they're
Starting point is 00:39:15 equivalent of him the the dj guy right uh let's see because there's three of them there's run there's dmc and then there's the dude in the back uh joseph run simmons Daryl McDaniels Oh Jason Jam Master Jay Mazzle I think that's who you're talking about And he's the one that got killed He's the one who passed away Yeah he got shot
Starting point is 00:39:36 That's right Daryl McDaniels is still with us Yeah okay good So you'll have to compete with him Is what I'm saying Okay Anyway Utah County Jell records say
Starting point is 00:39:45 That Corey Allen Martin age 26 Aren't they always Was arrested for investigation of reckless burning Reckless burning Reckless burning I like that term As well as possession
Starting point is 00:39:55 of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. This is the part of the headline they left off. Oh, God. He's a drug type person. Yeah. Trig paraphernalia. Even Utah's governor Spencer Cox was astonished at the incident and tweeted on Monday.
Starting point is 00:40:13 I don't do drugs kids and don't start spiders on fire during a drought. I agree. Actually, he kind of likes it. Governor Cox is pretty cool. People like him. He's a good guy. It seems like he's stated to the obvious, but okay, sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:25 It's a little obvious, but he's generally thought of pretty well here by kind of all sides. Actually, hardcore Republicans, even though he's a Republican, don't like him because he's not all up Trump's a hole. And so my guess is he'll serve one term and then the rest of the mega hats will kick him out, which is a bummer because he's a good guy. I like him. He's a good middle of the road dude. Anyway, authorities say firefighters responded to the incident near Springville. Oh, I've been there. I had a girlfriend in Springville. It was a nice girl.
Starting point is 00:40:58 When they arrived at the scene, they found the suspect who admitted he had started it. Cruz took him down the mountain to speak to police. And according to the booking affidavit, he told officers that he had seen a spider and tried to burn it with a lighter. When he attempted to burn the spider, says the quote, the surrounding brush ignited and the fire began spreading very rapidly, according to the affidavit. I wouldn't have done this out in the freaking weeds. Why are you doing this? That's spider territory anywhere.
Starting point is 00:41:24 house either. I mean, I guess, you know, don't do it at all. That's a horrible way to kill a bug. Plus, they live there. That's their town. Right. You're in their territory. If anything, he should fire you. That's what I'm saying. Carter would have saved the spider and kept him in a small cup and then released him into the wild. Sure. She's in the chat. I like to tease her for being such a spider lover. She loves them.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Yeah. Florida man. So now we're no more Utah man. on so Utah man, now Florida man says, oh, I think that's great here. Hold my beer. Yeah, hold my beer. He attempted to break into Space Force base. Remember we made the Space Force? That's the thing. Yeah, we almost had it here in Colorado until, until Colorado went too blue for Donnie, for Thin Skin, Donnie. Oh, then he was like, we're moving it. I don't want it. I don't want it in Colorado anymore. I may take my Space Force toys and play somewhere else. And go home, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:22 It says, sorry, he broke into Space Force base or tried to, to warn of alien dragon space war to come. Coming from Michael Bay. I'd watch that. Since the space force was established in 2019, there has been a lingering question of what exactly it does. One would certainly hope the branch would be heavily involved in a theoretical battle between the aliens and dragons and space,
Starting point is 00:42:47 the occurrence of which apparently one helpful citizen was trying to warn the space force of last week at Patrick's Space Force base Corey Johnson, H. 29, aren't they always, was arrested for trying to enter the installation. The reason, according to what he told officers, he was there on behalf of the president
Starting point is 00:43:06 to alert the space force that there were, quote, U.S. aliens fighting with Chinese dragons. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I know. Okay. Well, that is a whole different thing. It is, but it's equally a space war, but they're U.S. aliens fighting Chinese dragons. Yeah, it's equally as stupid, but also less spacey than I was led to believe.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Oh, I just got an early script from Avengers 6, King's Dynasty, Dynasty. Dynasty. King's Dynasty, I can't wait for that. They'll spin that off into a series, and they'll call it Dynasty. King's Falcon Crest. Yeah, King's Falcon Crest will be the end of phase eight. Really excited. Anyway, according to military.com,
Starting point is 00:43:56 Johnson had stole a vehicle, had stolen a vehicle several days before his attempt to enter the Space Force installation, which is in charge of satellite launch operations on America's East Coast and presumably not fighting dragons or aliens in space. Actually, what is it for still? I still don't know what they do. Are they just hanging out doing a suit of armor around the world, Scott, is what they're doing? Is that what that is?
Starting point is 00:44:22 Okay. Still, did they stay with the Star Trek ripoff logo? I think they did. Yes. Yeah, they still have that. The United Federation of Planets. Yeah. A little triangle deal.
Starting point is 00:44:34 The Star Trek communicator, yeah. Yeah. I was going to say yesterday, Bill showed us he was making one of those. Yes. He could easily just turn around and make a bunch of Space Force logo. It could. Easily. It wouldn't take much to alter his 3D print design to be.
Starting point is 00:44:46 be the Space Force logo. Can't wait. Can't wait. All right. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to spend some time with Tom Merritt, a little tech time. Yeah. It's always nice. And after that, we'll spend some time with Nicole and Randy, who have already sent me their clips. So this is fantastic.
Starting point is 00:45:03 We're going to do actual recommendals today. So watch for that. That's all coming up after this song break that Brian Ibbett will tell us about. Yeah, it's been a long time coming for this one. Chicago band Pink Frost is back with, Their first release in five years. Now, they've had a lineup change. They've basically added female vocalist Angela Mullenauer.
Starting point is 00:45:24 And she's been, you can hear her in the other band, Cybrus, and Touched by Gould. They've got more of like an alt-rock, smashing pumpkins, peak era nine-inch nails. That's from their description. Listening to this, I would actually say, Queens of the Stone Age is one I'm hearing from this. And it's really, really good. Chicago indie punk band Pink Frost, here is. the first single from their brand new album called Until the Summer Comes. Here's this, here is the title track from Until the Summer Comes.
Starting point is 00:46:16 This will last forever This will last for now Only once for magic Until the summer comes Here it comes Here it comes I've grown under Crazy in my
Starting point is 00:47:22 I cannot remember Where do you begin Here it comes Here it comes Till the summer comes Till the summer comes To the summer comes
Starting point is 00:47:56 See you there Till my friends See you there Better take it Why you can To the Sun of Friends. Here it comes Here it comes
Starting point is 00:48:53 To the summer come To the summer come It is too painful. I cannot bear it. Puerto Rico. The morning stream. And we're back. Tell me again who that was so I can immediately download it and listen to it again. You must because it's so good.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Pink Frost from their upcoming album. That is the title track it is called Until the Summer Comes. Did not plan to have that Puerto Rico thing after our discussion on Space Force. I didn't plan. Riga. While they're all down, they're dying. All right. Hey, what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:50:12 Oh, we're going to do Tom Merritt. Let's get him in. Let's do that. Yeah, let's do that. Let's get him in. You know what I love about him. As soon as I start a call or adding him to the room, I think I've talked about this.
Starting point is 00:50:22 He's the first alphabetically to come up, so I don't have to like search for him because he's a-tetech. And he's the first A in the list, and it's perfect, and I love it. So I'll play this now. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is Tom Merritt, and he joins us here on Wednesdays to talk about the latest and greatest in tech news. Tom Merritt, welcome back to the program.
Starting point is 00:50:44 well thank you for having me back well we thought hard and long about the last time and then decided we said all right let's give him one more chance okay appreciate it well let him try again not true i appreciate the fifth time at a second chance tom merit has a permanent seat at the table as far as i'm concerned and um i'm sure there's probably stuff going on today in the tech world there always is so what is happening what do you bring into us uh well apple arcade uh lost what is it 15 games. Yeah, I saw that. Right, which...
Starting point is 00:51:17 15 titles dropped. Surprise me that, oh, Apple Arcade can lose games? Apple Arcade has now been around long enough that contracts are ending with the developers. And while a developer could certainly renew a contract and keep their game in arcade, 15 titles were not renewed. I don't know how many developers that makes up, but they decided to leave. Now, if you are an Apple Arcade user, You may wonder, well, hold on, what happens to my game then? Apple released a support document that said, you'll get two grace weeks.
Starting point is 00:51:53 So they'll leave the arcade store. You won't be able to add them as an arcade user if you don't have them already. But if you have them on your phone, you'll get two weeks to finish up playing. Once they're no longer playable, then you'll get a pop-up explaining, ah, this is no longer part of the arcade service. And if the developer wants, you can move all of your saved games, your game progress to another version, a regular app store version. There doesn't seem to be a consistent path on that. It's kind of whether the developer has put it in the store, whether it's put it in the store for a price, and whether it has taken advantage of the ability to do the porting.
Starting point is 00:52:38 They have to do some work on their end to be able to pipe all that stuff in. So just because a game has been put in the app store, it doesn't mean they'll bring your progress over. It just means they could if they did the work to do it. Sure. So before people lose their minds, and it's fun to pile on Apple, but this isn't any different than Game Pass or to a lesser degree with a different format or different kinds of stuff you're talking about Netflix or any other subscription service
Starting point is 00:53:03 where stuff comes and stuff goes. And nobody's over there going, wait a minute, die hard's, leaving at the end of the month. That's not why I saw you. Like, they don't do that. So I feel like there's a difference with a video game and a movie, though. With a movie, it's like, oh, I wanted to watch that. With a video game, you might be like, I'm halfway through. I haven't finished playing. Sure. So that same progress thing is actually a really important key to this. And in the case of Game Pass, here's what happens there. A third party game. First party games are just there perpetually. But third party game on game pass, if it's time is up and it's going out, you have an option before it leaves to get a vast, you know, a pretty deep discount on the actual permanent version of the game, which is just in the store, right?
Starting point is 00:53:47 So let's say it's $19 instead of $39. And so you have this option to pay for that. And your progress and everything you've done with it is part of that. You just have it. I think it would be it would be who, Apple to have that happen here in a more, in a more, um, reliable way. Like what you've described sounds like they're kind of sort of doing it, but it doesn't sound like they're really locked in a method
Starting point is 00:54:09 and it's not universal across all devs and that sort of thing. Whereas if I do that on a game pass or a similar type service, you get to keep that stuff. And in the case of Netflix's games, which is a whole separate thing from their movies, I'm pretty sure they buy all of those. I think they own all that stuff that they put up so far. So in theory,
Starting point is 00:54:28 that's never leaving as long as they continue to do it. But, yeah, I would like to see that. Like, let me take my progress when you're kicking the game out, and that would be okay. Yeah, I wonder if Apple could work that into agreements, or if they tried to work that into agreements and had too many developers resist it to say, you know, like, let's make, let's make it guaranteed. It would be very Apple-like to say, if you want to be an Apple arcade, you have to agree that when the contract is over, all the safe progress goes right into that game and blah, blah, blah, blah. it does not appear maybe they did that and we're just not seeing it yet because we haven't hit the two weeks but it does not appear like that's guaranteed that's interesting because in the so back to the Microsoft case they all all saves that are you know cross saves available in the cloud are all handled by Microsoft and and of course locally if you're saved locally or whatever those are just your files on your hard drive but but if you're doing something over the cloud those are all Microsoft handled and that's just part of their licensing agreement it's like if you're you're going to put your game on our platform, we provide cloud saves. Steam does the same thing.
Starting point is 00:55:37 And that's why not every game on Steam has cloud saves and not every game on GamePass has cloud saves. So it just, I don't know. I don't know what the answer here is other than it's probably going to be more frustrating for those who use Apple Arcade a lot because they did go a long time without losing a game. Like we kind of had in our head. And Brian had the reaction I did, which was, oh, yeah, right. These weren't permanent. They probably have to rotate some of these. in and out. And some of them won't. Some of them will stay there forever. And some are first
Starting point is 00:56:05 party. And of course, those will always be there. But, you know, like, it's just a weird thing. So anyway, as an Apple Arcade user, I was a little bummed out, but also not that bummed out because the ones leaving aren't that great. They're okay. I don't know. Dead end job is now really a dead end job. Yeah. It's okay. There's, I don't know. They're all, they're a little hit and miss anyway. Mobile gaming in general is a little hit and miss. So I think you have less of a, I don't know, how do I put this? For me, anyway, it's less of a loss to know that a couple of those are going
Starting point is 00:56:35 away, but anyway. When they first put the notice up, because if anybody doesn't realize, Apple put notices like these will be leaving the game store at the end of the month on these a couple weeks ago. Right. So it's not like they just surprise, you know, you're out. And you still get a two week after they've left the store situation going on. I was happy to see that there's a game I play called Patterned that I'm trying to get the
Starting point is 00:56:59 365 day in a row at. achievement for I'm 35 days away and I would have been like oh of course they're going to yank it oh man right then I'm still that out of the woods they might like yank it next month who knows yeah still there still good for now anyway um well the other piece of the good news here is those some of those exclusives mobile exclusives often they were on steam and other things but mobile exclusives are now up for grabs on the google play stuff so more the merrier for people who missed out on some of that yeah well there you go Good stuff.
Starting point is 00:57:32 I'm looking forward to chatting about that and everything else that we'll cover today on the Daily Tech News show because Wednesdays are my day. Yeah, this will likely come up. I definitely want to talk to you about the NPD numbers showing people spending less on video games. The video game economy is declining. That doesn't mean video game business is in decline, though. We'll kind of tease all that out. Yeah, yeah, because it's easy to see stuff like that and go doom and gloom, but it's really,
Starting point is 00:57:59 there's a few things going on. Not doom. Yeah, there's just some, yeah, the gloom, gloom is temporary. Doom is forever. Doom eternal. Anyway. Doom eternal. So we'll talk about that.

Starting point is 00:58:38 stuff like the Chips Act, for instance, if you wanted to know the details, like, where's the money going, stuff like that? I was a dietary supplement to your tech news by putting out two stories on that, one on Friday and one yesterday, just kind of going into the details a little more of what's happening with that. So if you want to get a little extra nutrition in your tech news diet, check out tectom.substack.com. No, you're not like a big one of those vitamin, like, horse-sized pills or anything. You're like a nice, easy going down. No, easy to swallow.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Gell cap. Yeah, like a time release. Chewable. Chewable. Oh, my gosh, chewable? Give me a sublingual, and then we can talk. All right, Tom Merritt, everybody. Fruitie flavors.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Have a fantastic day. We'll see you later today. Bye now. All right. That was great. Let's get this massive recommendals thing going. Yeah. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:59:28 have a, it's a quad. Yeah, it's big. Quad we have today, yes. It's Quad Week here on the show. And there we go. Added everybody to the group. We're about to start it with this. Oh, that doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Hey, everybody. Welcome to Recommendals. A chance for us to talk about cool things we found on streaming services. And welcome to the program, One, Nicole Spagnolo. Hello, Nicole. Hi, how's my mic? You sound good. You sound great.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Yeah, yeah. Oh, there we go. Very nice. No, yelling at Mark today. Yeah. Tell Mark to go clean up the flooding. How's the flooding? Everything going okay?
Starting point is 01:00:06 Yeah, we got really lucky. Our basement didn't flood. Oh, wow. The sum pump was working overtime, though. Yeah. Some pumps have a purpose. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:16 I heard it was bad over there. They called it a one in a thousand year flood. Yeah. And that's what it takes when you just moved there. It's like, oh, shoot. The whole neighborhood was like, oh, Has anybody checked on the new people to let them know this is not normal? Oh, God, no kidding.
Starting point is 01:00:33 No doubt. All right. Well, I'm glad you're good. Also joining us, Randy Jordan, aka Randy Deluxe, as usual on Wednesday's. Hi, Randy. How are you? Hello. Hello.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Hello. Hello. Good morning. How are you? You didn't have any flooding. You're on a higher floor, right? You're good. Dude, I live in SoCal.
Starting point is 01:00:51 That's right. You don't even have rain. You're going to fall off into the ocean. That's right. The only way there could be flooding is if there was a tsunami. And it would have to be a. really impressive tsunami. Might have to be a beast of one.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Well, I'm glad everyone's well in here. Yeah. And we need a remake of Roadhouse, guys. Why are we not talking about Roadhouse? That was on the list. I think four people said it. And I agree. A new Roadhouse would be great.
Starting point is 01:01:14 I thought I heard some. I don't know why Vibes comes in my head. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. Jeff Goldblum and Cindy Lopper? Vibes? I don't know why I want a remake of that, but I do. I don't remember this.
Starting point is 01:01:26 And I think you just, you keep Jeff Goldblum, and you pair him up with like Ariana Grande or Lady Gaga or somebody like, you know, something like that now. Lady Gaga would be a great crazy psychic character for him. Oh, this is wild. Okay. So this is 88 vibes. Their slogan is put your hands on our hands and feel the vibes.
Starting point is 01:01:49 What was that mean? Yeah, yeah. I think you're looking at a sex toy, Scott. That's what it says right there. And it's got Cindy Lopper with a very strange looking hand by the way, or Pinky's really short. And then Jeff Goldblum doing this. And now I'm, now I'm curious. Now I want to know. You're not seen this movie. No, never. We need to watch this for, for film sack. I've seen this and I think, uh, I think this is a perfect film sack movie.
Starting point is 01:02:12 I love it. I like Cindy Lopper a lot. So, and I like Jeff Goldblum. I was thinking about this movie. Yeah. That's a good one. And that looks like Columbo. That's not Columbo in it. Who is that? It's not, but it is. Yeah. Yeah. That's a beauty. I'd love this category. Like, I, I think you should do another top 10 of the, but basically the same thing. Yeah. Like, I'm like, man, it's just like, get your imagination going, you know? Yeah. How, how fun would it be to have a remake of romancing the stone? How was that guy not, how was he not freaking Peter Falk? I swear that's him. All right. Well, by the way, look at the movie poster on I am on, on, uh, just watch. It's a very different
Starting point is 01:02:48 movie poster. And, uh, and, uh, and it is streaming on prime video by the way. We could add this to the hot action movie summer. Is it vibe or vibes? Vibes with an S. Cindy Lopper is a psychic and she channels. Yeah, she is. Oh, you mean in the movie. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:11 And most importantly, Jeff Goldblum has lines. He has lots of lines. He says words. I like that. There they are. Boy, that alternate cover is something, Brian. It is something, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I don't know what to make of that. Well, anyway, let's get to it. Brian, you've got a clip here for something you watched. Any set up for this? I do. This is, boy, is this a hard movie to categorize? It is the way Wikipedia describes it I think is accurate. It is a satirical science fiction thriller film.
Starting point is 01:03:40 And I would throw a tiny bit of dark comedy in there, which you'll get a very small taste of in this clip. This clip makes the movie sound a lot darker than it is, and it really isn't this dark, but... All right. Let's hear the darkness. Enjoy. So, yes, you have an incredibly rare, incurable disease.
Starting point is 01:04:02 It is inside your stomach, but will eventually spread throughout your body. It will be painless, but it is killing you. We cannot know how long you have, but it is only a matter of time. What are my chances? Zero. there's a 98% chance you will succumb to your illness I thought you said there isn't a chance
Starting point is 01:04:28 there isn't then what about the 2% that's the margin of error there's a 2% margin of error nothing is ever absolutely certain though this most certainly is to use a baseball analogy life has thrown you a curveball
Starting point is 01:04:46 curve balls are tricky throws for the batter to hit in this case you're the batter only you're not even holding a bat so you most definitely are going to miss the ball that is a little dark I don't know what this is no idea
Starting point is 01:05:02 but then you can see how there's kind of this weird little comedy thing every once in a while I land on one of these movies that is like the lobster or the invention of lying where there's it's all a normal world except for this one thing that makes it different
Starting point is 01:05:17 from the world we all know And in this case, there is a cloning situation that helps the bereaved families of people who are going to die deal with the deaths. Yeah. Have you seen this? Okay. Yep, that's exactly what it is. Duel. So not Duel, the Spielberg TV movie that had a car. Not Duel with an E, but Duel with an A. And that's Karen Gillen. You heard very briefly there in between, you know, the other late. talking the doctor. Yeah, so I'm going to tell you, here's one of those situations where I'm going to break my, my spoiler rule, but only as much as the trailer gives you, right? So it's basically, I'm going to give you as much as the trailer gives you because that's what we saw.
Starting point is 01:06:06 And it hooked us into film and we enjoyed the film a lot. So Karen Gillen plays this, this woman, as you hear, who is told by her doctor that she's about to die. And she deals with it very quickly. She's kind of a very deadpan, very, very emotionless woman. But decides that she's going to have this clone made so that her family, her boyfriend, the other people in her life will have her to continue on with as the clone while she passes away. Well, the clone gets kind of entrenched in her life and kind of becomes more loved by her family and boyfriend. than her, than the original.
Starting point is 01:06:48 And then she finds out that, oh, we made a mistake, you're not going to die. And now, because we can have two Karen Gillens running around, they have to defeat each other. One of them has to defeat the other in a duel. And that's spelled with a knee. I got it. That is as much as you get from the trailer. And it is really, really cleverly. done, cleverly handled. Oh, my God, the
Starting point is 01:07:18 bits of Karen Gillen talking to her clone self are incredible. This also features Aaron Paul, Jesse from Breaking Bad. Theo James, Bula Coat, but obviously the big star here is Karen
Starting point is 01:07:34 Gillen. Riley Stearns is the director, and you might recognize him from faults and the art of self-defense, a couple of other off-kilter indie movies but this one is
Starting point is 01:07:49 this one is the most recent came out this year, April of this year and is currently streaming on AMC Plus there might be other places you can get it as well, let's see here but that's where we watched it was on AMC Plus. Nice. Good
Starting point is 01:08:05 thing to be subscribed to at the moment while you're getting it. It really is, right? You get your better call Saul, you get Moonhaven, you get dark winds which I recommended last week. Are you going to tell us about Moonhaven next week? I'm excited about this. Yeah, I'm going to tell you about it because, well, I am as long as the season finale sticks the landing because so far I'm really enjoying it. But if they don't, if they don't answer some questions in the finale, then I'm going to be really pissed off. Maybe it's a meheicemental.
Starting point is 01:08:34 It could be. It could be a mehecommental. You'll hear about it one way or another one week from today. Nice. I just love the AMC has a sci-fi show. I think that's cool. I can't think of another one they've done off top of my head. Yeah, no. I don't think they have.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Because Kevin can F himself is not a, it's not terribly sci-fi even though it's. Nope, but it has the best bird ever flipped. It has a great, a great bird flip, yeah. Anyway, the movie's called Duel. It's, like you said, available right now on Amazon or AMC Plus, but you can also rent it Apple TV and Amazon and Google Play and all the usual places. Nice. Now, today, breaking with structure, I'm going to show.
Starting point is 01:09:13 take up the order a little bit. We're going to go Nicole next. Nicole, tell me about what you brought. Yeah. Are you going to do a clip? Yeah, you want me to do that first? I can do it right now. I'm going to set this up. Here it is. Yeah, do you have any setup or anything? Should we, should we have any knowledge before going up here? After watching this movie, I realize I've missed like, I feel like I've missed like four years of movies. You know, kids and all that stuff. Yeah. I miss this movie. It came out in 2019. it has some very famous actors in it. And I, on the surface, it's a, eh, but when you start, it's just one of those movies that I couldn't stop thinking about.
Starting point is 01:09:56 So I start getting deeper into it, like the meaning of it. Oh, I love that. I love it, a movie can take me that direction. That's cool. The best way, I actually enjoyed it more when I thought of the other, half of the hunger games. So, like, with the hunger games, we saw, like, the lower class. I feel like this movie is highlighting some of the crazy crap that could happen in
Starting point is 01:10:26 the upper class. The weirdos. But it's not part of the hunger games, but it feels like it should be part of the hunger games. Nicole, do you want to set this one up less? All right. Well, here it goes. Let's play the clip. You know her.
Starting point is 01:10:41 No. She screwed me over. as soon as I got here. What? Who is she? Seriously. If you have my heart, I wouldn't want it back. I'd let you keep it till the end of time.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Wait, that's her? I'm Marnia Vicarlio. Her new sound is real neat. She's also... I'm a drunk. That's not nice. It's true. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Now, I noticed, what's her name's niece in this? What's her freaking name? Oh, Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts, niece. Yeah, so you heard Emma Roberts. Emma Roberts. Gosh, dang it. It was Uma.
Starting point is 01:11:26 She's kind of our main character that we're following through the name. Wait, Emma plays Uma? That's great. That's great. That's great. So they're at a table. There's three of them there. It was Emma Roberts, Aquafina.
Starting point is 01:11:42 comedian. She kind of have their own story. And then Danielle McDonald,
Starting point is 01:11:49 which I recommend in a movie quite a long time ago called Dumplin. Oh,
Starting point is 01:11:55 Netflix. I'd love it. And they're on this island and the Pitchis, which is
Starting point is 01:12:03 played by Milo Jovovich, is kind of defining these girls. They're all in these really weird
Starting point is 01:12:11 Victorian white presses and it's very regimented and family or whoever have sent them away to this island because in this world, the uppers are expected to behave in a certain way. The lowers are in poverty, again, like hunger games where they're just scrabbing, you know, scravaging for food. Scravaging. Yeah, they're scravaging. I like strabaging.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Traveging. Yeah, you know. You know. So it's this weird, weird kind of sci-fi world, and you're not really sure what's going on. And for the longest time, I'm like, is a sci-fi movie? Or is this like just a weird? And eventually, there's a few layers to it. Then you really find out who Milo Jovivich is.
Starting point is 01:13:06 I'm not going to spoil any of it. She's Lelu Multipass. Lelu multipass? Yes, it is. Great. Fantastic. And the singer they were talking about the table, she has been sent away to this island from her team.
Starting point is 01:13:25 They planted all these fake stories about her. So again, rich people sending these girls away to kind of make them into the person they want them to be. There's underlying things that are happening. And it's like, what's going on? What's really happening? And then some of the girls are trying to get off the island. And weird, supernatural stuff starts happening.
Starting point is 01:13:49 And, yeah, I missed it. It's called Paradise Hill. How do I know this? Danielle McDonald looks so familiar to me. How do I, why do I know this person? Danielle McDonald. Yeah, help me with a young Aussie actress. Oh, Australian, yes.
Starting point is 01:14:02 That's why I. She was in bird box, right? Unbelievable is what I'm thinking of. Was she in bird box? She was in Paddy Cakes. That's actually the first movie I remember. The show Undeliverable. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:14:15 The mini series that I recommended here in 2019. I freaking love that. She was in that. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, she was in Birdbox. She's also in Birdbox. Anyway, I like her. So, hey, Nicole.
Starting point is 01:14:25 I'm the only person in the world who, like, constantly defends and recommends Aquafina is, does this movie have funny Aquafina or Serious Aquafina? serious aquafina this movie's got some serious aquafina good okay because she's trying to have two careers at the same time
Starting point is 01:14:46 right she kind of is yeah it's working for me it's fine like whatever look they always claim aquafina's bottled from real spring water from the mountains but I don't think I believe it anyway her character she's sent to this island
Starting point is 01:15:01 she came from her lower family sent her to her uncles, which they are uppers. The uppers didn't like how she acted, so they sent her to this island, a kind of, and all she wants to do is play music. And so that's kind of her little side story. So was it a, must have been a made for TV thing? Because it's got a rating of TV 14, which I assume is, it never made it to theaters,
Starting point is 01:15:26 as best I can tell. But where are you, oh, did you say where it's streaming? Maybe that's where. On Netflix. Oh, it's probably Netflix original then. So it could be made for Netflix joint. Yeah. Sounds good to me.
Starting point is 01:15:35 I don't know. I didn't see anything that said made for Netflix. Maybe. Well, I mean, yeah, might. It just says it was made. Yeah, available in theaters October 25th and Apple TV November 1st. So it did come out in 2019. Well, it was slated to come out in 2019.
Starting point is 01:15:51 Yeah, it didn't, though. That's on, that's, I'm showing it showed up on TV first. I don't know what that means. Yeah. So this might have been like a situation where the reviews are fair to Midland, but I like the subject matter. So I think I might check it out. When you start getting into some of the. YouTube videos that kind of analyze the movie.
Starting point is 01:16:07 I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess so. Like, the girls all in white symbolizes virginity and purity and perfectness. And, like, in this future world, like, what do the uppers pull deer kind of stuff? Sure. Who are these guys and trash bag looking uniforms in the back? So it's the guys in white? Yeah, well, they're black here. They're gray guys.
Starting point is 01:16:36 Yeah, gray guys. Because there's a bunch of guys. They all call the girls Meta-Moiselle. They're like, oh, Mademoiselle. There's just a bunch of guys on this island that are kind of... So these two, as I put it in the Discord on the left. Oh, I see. Oh, those are security.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Oh. Nice. They're getting top billing. I like it. The openings. Oh, they get movie poster treatment. Yeah, that's a big deal. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:17:00 They only showed up in the beginning. They're at the wedding. So the first shot of this movie. is Emma Roberts' character singing this really haunting weird song about giving herself to her husband and the security guards are there. And it's like very, again, very dystopic and weird kind of world. I like that stuff. Yeah. So those are just the security guards.
Starting point is 01:17:35 all right. So there's that one. We'll recap all these here in a minute. Hey, Randy, your turn. What'd you bring? What do you got there? Oh, it's my turn. Okay. Okay. Guess what? We are officially in the age of all of these TV showmakers trying to recapture Schitt's Creek, guys. It is just coming hot and heavy. And I was really entertained by one of the most recent attempts. It is not at all. a Schitt's Creek knockoff, but it is clearly very, very inspired by it. And I'll just give you a little setup for the clip. A man and his 16-year-old biological daughter have reunited. And they've gone on a summer vacation together to a lake in Ontario where his family has this long history of owning cabins and participating in the vacation lake community. And so their first order of business is to go for a swim in the lake, and they go down to the dock, and the old lady from next door cabin comes swimming by, and she's naked. I like, this is a good setup.
Starting point is 01:18:42 All right. Well, here it is. Enjoy this clip. What? Don't tell me you've never swum in a lake before. Supposed to be training for, like, the baby Olympics or something. There better not be any leeches. Actually, leeches are excellent for curing hypertension.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Also, we're reattaching fingers after surgery. Just not the cure for hemorrhoids, the Romans had. out. Hello, my name is Erika. I have the cottage next door. Ola! Hi, I'm Justin. This is my daughter, Billy.
Starting point is 01:19:11 Birth, daughter, I'm adopted. Yes, but it was an open adoption, so the birth parents are still part of their kid's life. He got his best friend pregnant at prom, like in a dumb teen comedy. But not funny, because we thought we'd ruined our lives and our families hated us. Ah.
Starting point is 01:19:25 Well, wolves rise pops commarily. The male emu looks after the young while the female goes in search of a new mate. Yes, yeah. Polly Emory is a... valid life joists. I have a little score of our around five. Please come by anytime.
Starting point is 01:19:39 Okay. Thanks. Great. That's very, thank. La-da. Please tell me that's seaweed. Unwaxed seaweed, but the hats are fresh thin. You still want to swim in that? No, I think we'll canoe and just... Awesome.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Let this lake air out a little bit. Unwaxed seaweed. Oh, man. It is the lake. It is the lake. Amazon Prime Studios production. It is Canadian. Like I say, it is a follow on to Schitt's Creek.
Starting point is 01:20:12 There's a lot of things that put that category right now. And that was, it's mostly actors and people that you have never heard of with a couple of folks that you absolutely have heard of, sprinkled in. Again, like I picked that clip because it's real early in the series and it basically explains itself to you.
Starting point is 01:20:33 gives you the whole backstory here. But just like the whole point of it is there is a lake community. They have their funny struggles just like Schitt's Creek did. And these two people are trying to find their way through it and trying to connect with each other. It's such a horror movie name, The Lake. It totally is. I think it probably was a horror movie called The Lake. Yeah, there probably is one.
Starting point is 01:21:01 with an alternate name that also isn't a horror movie name. Like, it's just like a summer vacation lake, summer. Just everything you come up with. Just call Shits Lake. I'd like shaltz. Call it waxed seaweed. Yeah, wax seaweed. Why not?
Starting point is 01:21:14 Real quick here, I don't know if I told you this. I know you're a giant fan of Shits Creek, but Kim's new little puppy, she named Moira after. Right on. That's great. That's how much she loves that show. I want a dog named David now, just so I can say, ooh, David. I can tell.
Starting point is 01:21:30 So does this have, okay. so I'm always whenever there's a Canadian production I'm used to actors being unknowns right and then they're awesome and it's like oh my gosh get them in more stuff um but not entirely unknown so like our main character is Jordan is played by Jordan Gavaris yeah um he you know he was an orphan black he has you know he's a he's kind of a rising star um he was a little young for the role right but like they they they this this whole show is full of weirdness like that and uh his uh you You know, his biological daughter there is played by Madison Shemown. Again, Rising Star.
Starting point is 01:22:10 She is, you know, she was in Blackish. Or is still in Blackish? I'm not sure if Blackish is still going on. Pretty cool. I think they're starting or about to start their last season. I was hoping to ask Tina in the voice, but it's okay. His big rival on this lake is played by Julia Style. so she's oh we know her she's a step cousin of his okay and uh her husband is terry chen uh retired uh hockey pro and you've seen
Starting point is 01:22:43 terry chen in a million things as little little roles like he was like uh ben fong torres and almost famous and uh he's he's really good in this show nice um there's just like and there's just other things that just pop up like oh gosh Jerry O'Connell has an episode Oh I like Jerry O'Connell That's cool
Starting point is 01:23:06 Canadian as well I believe Jerry O'Connell Isn't he? The two O'Connell twins I think they're they're Canadian The current Romaine Mr. Romaine Oh is he the current Mr. Romaine? Isn't he the current Mr. Romaine? I didn't know that. Romaine lettuce
Starting point is 01:23:22 What's her name? Rebecca Romaine lettuce. How does he know what's really her? Maybe she'd transformed and yeah it could be and and the main thing i want to say is this is just a fun pleasant watch um it's it's eight episodes they're all about 35 minutes long each uh weird runtime right 35 minutes but that's what we get nowadays like you yeah you get a little bit more breathing room on these episodes yeah um it it is a it is a cohesive story but there's lots of little stories being told along the way you know that it is episodic and it's just nice it's just nice I love that again, I'm going to say it again.
Starting point is 01:23:55 A couple months ago, Nicole established this concept that you just have to have a chaser after you've taken a shot. And this is the chaser, you know? This is the thing. I immediately texted this to Kim because this is so right up her alley. We're going to watch this together, I think. It looks great. It is R-rated, again, very similar to Schitt streak. The content is adult content.
Starting point is 01:24:17 It's a little bit discordant with the fact that the girl and all of the friends that she was making are all. all like 15, 16 years old, but it's fine. It's, it's, it's, it's got this, um, it's got this way of figuring out as it goes that it could be multiple seasons. And so like, it's a, it's a show that starts off and you're like, huh, this feels like an elongated movie. And then it like, as it goes, it starts setting up something. So it's like, I ended it wanting more. And that's why I'm recommending it. Like, I really like that feeling when you, when you get to the end and they've wrapped up their season one story, but you want more. There could be and should be more.
Starting point is 01:24:57 There looks like there probably will be. Mostly positive reviews from everybody. So good call. Good pick. All right, here is mine for the week. I watched a movie on Netflix. I guess it's been a couple weeks now because we didn't have a show last week. But I watched a Netflix original that was a big star-studded deal.
Starting point is 01:25:14 And I'll play you a clip and then talk about it. You're going to write that down? I'm not going to write anything down. You want some gum? What kind you got? Bubbillicious watermelon wave. What do you say? There is no other kind of.
Starting point is 01:25:37 If you think I'm going to rat somebody out for bubblelicious, you got another thing coming to you. Watermelon or not? Cortland Gentry, born 1980, incarcerated 19, Incarcerated 1995, eligible for parole in 2031. You got a long way to go, son. There's an upside to sleeping so close to you, toilet. All right.
Starting point is 01:26:06 That was Ryan Gosling, and he is in there talking to Billy Bob Thornton, who is also in this, and very good. And Chris Evans and DeArmis are all in this, and they're all amazing in it. This movie, O'Alfrey Woodard, I forgot to mention her. he's fantastic. This is the gray man, the 2022 Netflix original star studded thing directed by the Russo brothers, who you know famously from doing Winter Soldier and then on to Infinity War and Endgame. It's those directing brothers. And they're working with some old pals again, in particular Chris Evans, who plays a bad guy in this. And I love when he plays a bad guy.
Starting point is 01:26:44 Just love it. You may remember him playing kind of a bad guy in Knives Out, which he also co-starred with Anna de Armis as well. Oh, right. And so they're back together. Scott Pilgrim, he was kind of a bad guy. That's right. He's the best of the boyfriends, I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:03 And certainly the best looking of the boyfriends. You have another crossover as well because Ryan Gosling and Anna DeArmus were both in Played Runner 2049 together. So a little bit of a reunion for everybody, Kyle coming back together. Billy Bob Thornton plays this aging agent named Fitzroy, who's fantastic. I really like him and everything, even this.
Starting point is 01:27:20 It ain't got no gas, in it. Anyway, I miss, I miss Sling Blade. Anyway, the gray man, it's called, and it was some criticized for being all action and no real meaningful character development or story. And I'm here to tell you, I've absolutely no problem with that. And this is, this is a movie that is meant to just be enjoyed as a popcorny, loud, amazing stunts, funny lines, good acting, well-made movie that doesn't need to change the world. nothing about this that's, you know, meant to be anything special story-wise. It's kind of their take on the born identity kind of movie. I won't give away too much about Gosling's origin or why he is what he is now. But it's a lot of, you know, highfalutin CIA backstabbing
Starting point is 01:28:08 bullshit going on and and a lot of ass kicking great car chases. I loved it. I loved it. Got the hard question here. Yeah, go. Why is this 45% critic? rating on rotten tomato uh i think because it's like i said i think the movie's not it's not going to be the most brainy thing it really isn't and it and it never tries to be or even pretends to be but if you're i guess it depends on what you're going to it for they're an amazing cast and they all are great at their roles and that's just true of almost anything these people are in but this is a chance for them to just have fun and create mayhem and that's what i wanted and it's exactly what I got.
Starting point is 01:28:51 So those critics are, I'm not saying they're wrong. What they like is maybe a little more heady. This isn't that. But it's great. I really enjoyed it. If you want to see freaking Chris Evans in the worst mustache ever, this is the movie. Because it's super cheesy, porny looking dumb mustache. But I like everybody in it.
Starting point is 01:29:11 I love the whole thing. I totally had a blast. It was a great way to eat up 90 minutes of your weekend. And Kim and I had a great time. So I am going to recommend it and tell people. to check it out it is the gray man netflix original out now and it was and uh sequel potentially coming oh yeah and it's got sorry i forgot to mention this uh if you're a bridgerton fan it's got your uh hot bridgerton man in it uh regegeon that guy yeah uh he plays a dude at the cia
Starting point is 01:29:39 who's a total peckerwood uh jerk in this but he's in it and he's very good so anyway it's very good available now out there all the time did you did you guys catch uh regga jean page and the d D trailer. Oh, is he in that? Yeah. Let's see here. Yeah. Oh, yeah, there it is. Honor Among Thieves. He's, uh, oh, that is, okay, I didn't recognize him, but now you say it, I can totally see it. Um, that movie, speaking of things that look just like dumb fun. Yeah. I'm all in on that dumb looking thing. I'll watch that because it looks stupid.
Starting point is 01:30:11 There's an owl bear in it. That's amazing. There's not, it's not just, this could be called the owl bear trailer. Like, the point of this movie trailer was to, you know, was to see the Albear. Yeah. Anybody he gets precious about any of that can take a flying leap. I think it looks like a hoot. Ed, I love the idea that someone was editing this trailer. It's like, we need to make sure we say the word, Albert.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Let the audience that's watching this know that we know that they know, that that's an Albert. So that regime, Rijé, Jean Page having a moment, isn't he? He's all over the place right now. It is, yeah. Well, well done, Bridgeton. You did it. He hosted SNL last season.
Starting point is 01:30:47 Oh, he did? Wow. Yeah, it was a good episode. It was really funny. Yeah. Interesting. He was in the Roots remake. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 01:30:54 Yes, Nicole, sorry. How long have you been doing this cool thing on this quick list? Oh, quick TMS.L.I. About six months. Yeah, something like that. Right around the time you got busy with school, I think. Brian started doing it. Didn't you work with somebody to do it or something?

Yeah, David Rode in said, Hi, Scott and Brian been a listener and patron for several years now, but almost never get to listen live.
Starting point is 01:33:03 Can't tell you how much I enjoy all the content you guys produce. Your shows are such a great way for me to relax or just take my mind off the stress of the day, even if it's just for a while. I'm requesting a cover of or buy Greta Van Fleet because it was thanks to TMS that I discovered them. At some point, one of you made an offhanded comment about how great their album, Battle of Garden Gate is. I think it was both of us. I think we both really like that on it. So I took a listen and was hooked immediately.
Starting point is 01:33:29 Not only that, but now I've got my son into them as well, and we'll be seeing them live in just a few months. So not only are you producing great content, you're also contributing to some father's son bonding. Yay. Nay. So he wants a cover of or buy Greta Van Fleet. Oh, he says, I got to go. Someone's cooking. What's that delicious smell?
Starting point is 01:33:48 Mmm, sausage. Oh, okay. I was going to do bacon cheddar chicken ranch or whatever the hell is. I know. That's what you felt like. That's what I felt like. But nope, it'll be this. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:34:00 Oh. Sausage. Now, you don't know if I made that longer or not because it sounds longer. I don't, but I believe you did. I think you're trying to play a joke on me, Scott, and you are stretching that thing out. You used to be four seconds. Every single time. Now it's 4.6 seconds.
Starting point is 01:34:17 Exactly. Exactly. I 100% believe that is what you're doing. Yeah, so Greta Van Fleet, they've done a bunch of covers, but live, live versions, and a couple on Spotify studios that I haven't been able to get my hands on, like, actual files that I can play on the show. So we're going to play a cover that I have played on the show before, but it's so damn good. You're not going to say, oh, this again, you're going to say, all right, this song again. And that's their cover of Sam Cook's A Change is Going Come. They released this on their 2017 album from The Fires.
Starting point is 01:34:52 Here's Greta Van Fleet. I love these guys. All right. I'll see you guys tomorrow when we do this again. Come on back now, you hear.
