I'm feeling lucky with this background. Prince 14 bras. Hids, ask your uncle. Only murder castles in the building with Stephen and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Hi, dear, and Blue Belt's here. I hope you brought your Scott towels.

Nope. No, Scott Towel. Something better. New improved Scott towels. A new combination of softness and strength. Feels thicker. Cushinging. Each sheet is 20% thicker. Soft enough for this angel's face. Strong enough for this devilish mess. Softness and strength in one paper towel.

That's new improved Scott Towers. Howells, honey? I just swall the beat. The morning stream. Come over here, Mr. Pokemon Man, and let me get a peek at you. Ah, good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday.

almost look like April. August 15th. Oh, it's my brother's birthday. Crap, I got to call my brother and tell him happy birthday. Anyway, 2022 is the year. I'm Scott. That's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello, the aides of August are upon us, Scott. They are indeed here. We don't need to beware these, though. We can, these are fine. We don't need to. Don't beware the aides of August. No, nobody gives a shit about these aides. These aides are dumb. Who cares? Take your ides. These aides cried every night for you.

Yeah. wet, teary. Ask your parents about, uh, what, three dog night, I think? Yeah, maybe your uncle. These odds have seen a lot of love, but they're never going to see another woman like I have with you. Yeah, I think uncle maybe. Not, you know, doesn't that too. Yeah, all right, maybe. Oh, yeah, that's right. The guess who are not three dog night? Thank you, taxi cab. Oh, whew. Dodge that bullet. The guess who? Dodged that bullet. All right. Uh, hey, we're back, everybody. Um, oh, you know what? Before I forget, I need to register a complaint. all right complaint time uh yeah people look we ought to have a course when you go get your driver's license

part of the okay you know how the process is now you go around the track and you do the little thing yeah you got a parallel park a couple of times do it in your car with a clipboard making sure you uh do everything correctly right then you got the written test you got the whole schmere we're expected to do things you know well enough to pass so that you can now legally drive a car you should have there should be a class on how roundabouts work they tell you all about four-way stops they tell you about how you do a uh you know when you're going to turn against the light and all this stuff they do all that already throw in just a tiny tiny bit about how a freaking freaking roundabout is supposed to effing work because nobody seems to freaking know but me

i'm the only one it's killing me and i know you europeans are laughing you're thinking you don't know what a roundabout is. They have roundabouts with roundabouts over there. Right. They have a roundabout built into another roundabout. You actually go through the roundabout within a roundabout. Right. The whole Irish economy is based on roundabouts, is my understanding. Yeah. But anyway,

people are dumb, dude. They treat them like four-way stops. They don't get it. Right. Right. Exactly. It's like, no, there's nobody in the roundabout currently. Go, go in. Go in. Into the roundabout. And we have one that we have to go through. I have actually, the only two ways. I shouldn't say the only two ways.

the only big major two ways to get into where I live have roundabouts before each major part to get in and both of those are constantly riddled with dumbasses so anyway let's just want to throw that out there that's my complaint yeah no I think um could it be that they're they weren't as prevalent in in the times that they set up those training courses that probably haven't been updated since 1984, that driving instruction doesn't include them because they absolutely 100% need to include them now for exactly the reason. Yeah, I agree. And I think you're probably right. Like when I grew up, I don't think I saw a roundabout until I was 30. I mean, it was that long. So we're not used to them over here. I get that. It's a thing. You know,

America, a little slow on the roundabout uptick or whatever. But now we've got them. And they're smart for certain situations. So they make sense from a traffic point of view. Maybe just spend five minutes learning how they work if you're going to drive on them. That's it. Yeah. I will say, though, that the ones in Ireland need to be a little bit more obvious because there was one that I came to that was basically the sides of a personal pan pizza in the middle of the road, a little white circle, like the size of a personal pan pizza.

Oh, man. That we didn't, I couldn't tell was an actual roundabout that we were supposed to treat as a roundabout. Give us a sign that, you know, is the typical roundabout sign that has the little arrows in the circle. Bobby says they should just put signs at them that say keep moving or something. Well, it is kind of misleading because 90% of the time, yeah, keep moving. But there's the, you know, the times that there is actually a car in the roundabout.

You don't want to keep moving. Yeah. I mean, you still want to be cautious and take your time and watch for dummies and all that. But it just seen, I cannot remember the last time I went through there unscathed. It's always stupid. Yeah, oh, always somebody. Yeah. And, you know, I'll say, yeah, the, the Ireland.

roundabouts. There were some on what I would consider to be the equivalent of state highways or, you know, not interstate highways, but like you're going the equivalent of 55 miles an hour, whatever it is in kilometers, and then

you come to a roundabout and it's like, oh, okay, yeah, you know, you got to really got a bit, you got to be on your game to not, to slow down enough to determine if there's somebody that you're going to hit, nope, nobody's in the roundabout, great, but and slow down enough to make a very sharp right turn

and a very sharp curve and then another sharp right turn. Well, so, actually, real quick, for my own... I thought it was also miles over there, no? Do you get... No, it's kilometers in Ireland, but it is miles in Northern Ireland. Oh, okay.

I thought the whole UK... And it was a good point. We go around left and not around right. Oh, right. Yeah, are you correct. That's the word I should use. that was that was also confusing because our gauge in the car was kilometers so once we entered northern ireland we had you know we basically uh since i was driving and tina was uh navigating

passengers she had we had figured out all right um 55 miles an hour is about this much many kilometers 65 miles an hour is about this many like basically we knew like uh every 10 every 10 uh numbers and um and then use that as kind of a gauge. It's a little bit weird to have half your country use one measurement for miles and the other one for, that's weird. Well, Scott, there are two countries, though. I know they are, but you're all Irish. Come together.

Half of your island use one and half of your island used the other. Yeah, that's just weird, man. I don't know. Did the Brits F it up? Is that what happened? They came in there and said, yo, you're using miles up here. Sorry, it's just the way it is. Anyway, it's just a weird, weird thing.

Whatever, Europe, you do you, we'll do us, okay? I watched the Northman Brian recommended it Oh yeah I really liked it It was great Some sars guard Yeah some sars guards scars scars scars scars

Scars gars it's one of the two Guards Yeah Either guards SARS or scars For a hot second I thought his dad Stellen was the Was the

The shaman guy later on When he was an adult Oh that was what's his face I'm blanked on his name Willem DeFoe. No, no, no. Later in the Oh, the other, the other shaman. Yeah, the other shaman guy. I was sure that was his dad.

Like, positive. He had Willem Defoe's head, or it was the king's head. I don't remember. Whatever it was. But he was, I was sure of it. I'm like, oh, yeah, look at him. This is so cool. Must be cool working with your dad. And Kim's like, yeah, that is cool. And then later I looked it up on IMDB. that's not cool at all it's not him it's another guy it must be cool working with that guy it kind of looks a little bit like your dad

yeah yeah one of those things I really liked the Northman turns out it ticks a lot of my boxes I already like that director the witch and the lighthouse are both rad and his his style is cool it's pretty dark and you know grimy if you're into that sort of thing

and there's a lot of not really looking to I mean there's some looking directly at the camera which is you kind of saw a lot of that in lighthouse where you you become some of the characters that are getting talked to in the film but there is a very stage play kind of feel to parts of that

where it's you know the background is muted or black and you're just basically looking at the actor that's a really you know what you finally put it to words I couldn't put my finger on it but it has a stage play quality to it

and it didn't go in expecting that and I ended up really liking the way it was it was handled and I thought everybody was really good in it it got me more excited for the Furiosa a prequel because she's freaking great. What's her name? Double I. Junior. What's her name?

On your Taylor Joy. On your Taylor Joy. She's freaking awesome and I thought she killed her role. She was really good in it. I just really freaking dug it and would recommend it highly for anyone looking for, you know, don't go in thinking Braveheart. No, no, no, definitely not. It has some similarities, but not the way you might think. Like it's got a lot of really sort of bloody fight scenes. Actually, less blood than I expected.

It was a lot of off-screen type stuff, which surprised me. But, yeah, if you're going looking for just like some raw Viking-ass stuff where they clearly paid a lot of attention to the time and the era and the language and the customs and all that stuff, that was pretty evident. And have it be just beautifully shot, even though it's super dark. Oh, God, so gorgeous, yeah. It's really good, really good. I liked it a lot.

So another recommendal from someone else. down. Cool. Excellent. Look at you watching our recommendals. Yeah, that was a, I think that was a me. It was a you. I think what was a me?

It was totally you. So how was the Denver local meetup cider drinking unit deal? It was great. Yeah. So we did the Locust Cider at Belmar meetup, Jacob, who is the, runs the show there, took really good care of us. We got to meet him and his dog Walter, who is the, boy, what a good, what a good dog Walter is.

In case Walter is listening, what a good dog. So they have this little loft area in the kind of off to one side that they kind of use for storage. And they've turned it into Walter the dog who comes with Jacob to work. Up at the top of this circular staircase, iron circular staircase, is his little area. And he just stays up there, but he's not chained up there. He's not leashed or anything like that or blocked from coming down. So as soon as Jacob said, hey, Walter, come on down. Walter sprung up to his feet, looked down.

Like spun over, ran quickly over to Jacob. It was super, super cute. What kind of dog? What breed are we talking here? A mix. A rescue dog that was a mix. He was saying, I think there's some golden retriever in there. There's maybe some sort of, he was like listing off a bunch of, could be, could be.

They never verified. that stuff so you just have to guess it's the best you can yeah uh west uh brand new member of the denver scene uh moved here from uh shoot i should remember oh from new york i think western new york um he and his wife mallory came and there are two kids uh joined us and his older kid who's like five and a half jordan uh was a crack up this kid so this this locus cider has board games over in the side, then it's got TVs all over the place with those little mini Super Nintendo's

that you can just start playing games while you're drinking cider. We were trying to find a game that was good for a five-and-a-half-year-old. It was like, all right, how about the Kirby? Oh, not so much. How about the Mario card, Super Mario card from the SNE has?

Maybe, but not so much. So he was more having fun just hanging out with us, and he kept, he was like, ju-choo-choo-choo, shooting, like pretending to shoot, us with his fingers and then one point he comes over and he like does pincher scissor fingers at me

and like gets my arm and my risen like I'm being scissored wait nope that's not the way I want to phrase that nope no this is not that lesson we're not teaching that today nope I knew it as soon as I said it nope but uh that's good I love kids like that

he came and Tristan Adams came it was a great we had a great turnout that's awesome and the how was the corner that place How was the beer, the cider, the whatever? Oh, my God, the cider was amazing. So he had, you know, your traditional apple. He had like a mohito, which was minty.

I actually brought back a big bottle of that. Some juicy peach cider, which was really good. Oh, there he is, Burgess Diesel, right there in the chat is Wes. That's Wes. Oh, very nice. Very nice. There was dark cherry cider. I mean, he had about 16 different kinds, and I was just, I did a flight so that I could try a bunch of them all at once that I wanted to, which is just smaller, like four or five ounce pours, but you get six of them.

Gotcha. It's like a little sample. One that was like a dill, like a dill cider, which was interesting. Yeah, that's a little weird, though. It was like a, it tastes like a pickle? No, that was what I was expecting, and it didn't at all. It tasted like, like, like apple cider that had been muddled. You know, using muddler with dill.

And it was good. It was a really unique taste, but... Wait, tell me more about this muddling. Is that a thing? I never heard of that. Mudling. Yeah, like when you... So if you get a drink, and even a non-alcoholic drink,

let's say you get a mint lemonade. Okay. And they take a leaf and they put it in the glass first. And then they use this thing that has... It looks like mortar and pestle, but it's like... Get little spikes, knobs at the bottom. And you go, and you do that to the leaf to like um by the way someone capture that video for me

send me that clip yeah there was a good visual with that um so okay that's interesting i've had something like that i think and i think i've even seen them use the tool but i didn't know what the hell they were doing yeah so you spank clara i think you spank basil i don't think you spank mint spank basil yeah so you get a basil leaf before you put it in um your food what do you spank it Yeah, you put in your palm and you go, like that. You literally spank it. You literally spanked. But to what end?

What does it actually do to it? That also releases, releases the flavors and the stuff. All right. But like in a mohito, I think you do muddle the mint. Yeah. Got it. Yeah, Stigma 82 confirms. Yep, you spank.

You spank. There it is right there. Oh, quick tip, spank in the mint. So Claire found a, well, sure, you can find anything if you look hard enough, Claire. Yeah, if you type it into Google and hit return. You'll always find something. Yeah. Well, all right.

That sounds like a blast. Sounds like a good time. It was a really good time. Yeah. So we're looking forward. We're probably going to do like an escape room next because we've been talking about one to do one of those. Nice.

Escape rooms. Are there any left in Denver that you've not done? There are, I would say there are 30 or 40 escape rooms in Denver and I've only been to three ever or four ever here in town. So, yeah, there are many, many left. Still a lot. Four is a lot. It's four is four a lot over the course of six years, seven years.

I know, I'll bet you're the only person I know that's been to four in their hometown plus multiples other places they go. I would disagree. I'll bet you Tanner has been to way more escape rooms than I have. That's true. He's a freak about that stuff. You're right. You're right. I really enjoyed my first one. That was fun in there. Yeah. They're a blast. Yeah, that one we did in Vegas was great. Yeah, it was real good. Yeah, I've only done one in Vegas. Tanner has done three or four in Vegas, so.

Yeah, they got a bunch there in the Las Vegas. There's one here that just opened that's supposed to be amazing, and I need to go see it as brand new, really fancy outside of this thing. Like I can tell there's money in there or money was spent to make it cool. Yeah, see, that's the one you want. You want the really immersive feeling. I was telling about one that I went to that it took place on a pirate ship,

and they had lights hanging from the ceiling, and then little mechanical motors on the lights that made the lights swing slowly back and forth so that it gave you the impression you were on a ship that was rocking back and forth even though you were you were standing on solid ground but it was I like that that attention to detail is cool I like that it is really really cool yeah well tell me about your 3D printing nightmare that had not nightmare but you had a yeah no kind of a nightmare because it was an expensive nightmare I um I've been doing these uh on Etsy been doing these holders, chiber crystal holders.

You got your little chiber crystal from the Star Wars lands in Disneyland and you put them in here and there's like a little hole in the middle is that there's an LED light that I put it in there before I ship it, right? And so what's cool about it is it lights up through the bottom. There are little holes.

Lights up through the bottom. And there's even like a motion sensor on the middle one. So if you mess around with the middle chiber crystal, that's when things light up. It's really, really cool. Yeah, it is cool. Love it. So I've been selling a few of these on Etsy, and I had somebody call back or email and say,

hey, receive mine. And like the package, maybe you put the Khyber Crystal holder in there without letting the paint dry because it's really messy in there. And like there's this gray goo that I think must have come off from the paint or whatever. And I was like, God, that's really, really weird. So I start printing another one, and then it kind of hit me as like, oh, no, okay. So if you look at this, and I'll describe this for the listening audience. So it's an oblong rectangle with a hole in the middle, a hole that goes that's extruded all the way through, which a light can go through.

Below that hole is a little extra stability, a little thick part on the bottom that's got a little extra stability to support this thing. and also so you can mount it on the wall and that sort of thing. And there are, that is a hollow shape. Yeah. And that means that there's uncured resin. Yeah, Machiatic-Dadec. I know exactly what I'm talking about. So there's a little amount of uncured resin inside that bottom area.

And what happens, I'm guessing, is that in extreme heat or air pressure, if this thing gets shipped in the, you know, via USPS through the friendly skies. it can crack and that goo that resin uncured resin runs out and you can see right here on the top that's exactly

what happened to this one there's a little tiny hairline crack and there's goo that came out it ruined the piece obviously because it you know sure

took the paint off it also ruined the light so I had to buy a new LED light to put in the middle of that and then I had to just pay for shipping reship the whole thing reprint it

reship it so lost money on that one for sure but but it made me realize oh yeah i need to print this with two additional drain holes for that um for that hollow area so that a the alcohol can rinse through and take out uncured resin and b so that there's not this enclosed space that air pressure and heat might have some sort of effect on yeah because later that's in your in your Exactly. Yep. Just like it is with this one that I'm holding up right here. You can see there's, there's runny resin.

Oh, yeah. Runny goo. You can see some reflection of that resin on the side. Yeah. Runny goo, baby. So does it, is that stuff toxic or anything? Like, you don't want to, yeah, you certainly don't want to ingest any of it. If you get it on your hands, it's just, it just is like greasy.

It never dries either. The only time it solidifies is when it's exposed to UV light. So if you take in the sun, it'll finally harden and stuff. But it'll stay viscous. I get to use the word viscous. It'll stay viscous until you expose it to UV light. You still love the word. You definitely want to wear gloves when you're handling it.

I like the word viscosity. Viscosity. Yeah, to measure the amount of viscousness. viscosity. If you've got a collection of of chiber crystals, this is the perfect thing for you. Yeah, she's good at sea.

You got a whole bunch of those. Yeah, go ahead. You get your own today. All right. Well, that's interesting. And real quick here, does, what was I going to say about it?

Oh, I was going to say, did the original, I know you grabbed like a model and then sort of modified it. Yes. Did you, is there a way for you to like, I don't know how this works with like all this open source thing of her stuff

but could you like ping that guy back and go hey real quick your design probably needs a couple little holes at the bottom to drain because I'm having like you mean like to somebody who's already bought my no no no to like whoever created the original model to the thing or did you oh I created the original model this is my

oh I thought you took it and tweaked it I'm no no this is this is all me baby oh never mind then the guy already knows the guy I'm talking about he knows the guy the guy knows yeah the guy is a way And you don't have to tell the people you've already shipped them to who didn't have a problem. If they have not had the problem, then obviously they, you know, then they're good. Then they're set.

Unless all of a sudden they decide, I'm going to take mine to California. But at that point, guess what? They'll think it's their own problem. That's a good point. All right. On that note. No, that would be horrible. That would be horrible.

We don't want to stick it with their own problems. But we do want to add a guy to the call here named Brian Dunaway. Hi, Brian. oh hi scott and brian oh hi hi hi are you at work that's where you are of course yeah he's a little delayed to dad i'm on my break yeah where are you at scott we're uh we're in uh where i'm at home in the studio that made to make podcasts and stuff yeah yeah weird weird i know so you're not at the park i'm not of the park i'm definitely not of the park uh i can tell you that we're going to play a game and that we're going to try to win prizes for people um i know this because

Brian told me so, and he'll have to explain why. Brian, why is that? Yes, I will explain this game. This game is... It's called half-asses. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a topic. They're going to go back and forth, giving me answers that fit that topic. No, that is feud.

Why does this have... That's why this is all screwed up, because it's got the feud instructions. Hold on. There. Welcome morning, half-asses. Present company included. A trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you guys the answers. I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct, three are incorrect.

Depending on how confident you feel of the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses, but if you get any wrong, you get zero points for that round. If you guess one, you get it right, you get a point, guess two, gets you three points, and guess all three correctly. You'll get five points, points, points. The player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant,

and contestants have been pulled from members of the tadpool that aren't able to listen live. Nice. Scott, you're going to be playing for Don Kelly in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Yeah. Don Kelly. Brian, you're going to be playing for Molly in Chicago.

We know Molly. Fenton? She goes by... Molly Fanton? Molly Fanton, right? No? Molly, not Molly Fanton. I don't want to say her last name.

But she... Yeah, I'm trying to remember. She's been to a couple nerd taculars. I think she's... I know she's... Yeah, she was at the most recent sweetgrass. Thank you. M.K.K.O. Sweetgrass. She's been to, she was at the most recent

Vegas. Oh, very nice. So was Molly. She was roommates. Oh, hi, Molly. Kathy. Oh. All right. Now I can separate the two. Now I get it. I get it now. We're good. Yes, exactly. Kathy, she's the one that lost at Miss Pac-Man, by the way. Rocked her world. Anyway, go ahead. Oh, yeah. Smack talk. Yes. All right. So you guys.

are both in our in our game i've got three questions here i feel like we should start out with an easy one for you guys oh by the way prizes let's tell you really quickly uh winner is going to get a copy of f1 2020 yes that's right it's getting re-gifted or re-given away because uh it's carryover uh winner did not win it on wednesday as well as main assembly we're adding rock of ages three making break um to the runner up prize package okay okay oh not the song Rock of age No not the Rocking

Rolling Gleetin globin Globbing Nope That's not it All right Let's get to the game Let's start off

With an easy one You guys like the comic books Yeah Let's see how well I read a comic book or two I have read two in my lifetime Read two last night In fact

I'm ready for this Let's do it All right Original members of the Avengers From Avengers Avengers number one In Marvel comic books Your choices are

The Wasp Hawkeye Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Ant Man, and the Hulk. I thought it was going really easy, but now I'm, like, going, was that the original? I think I know this. Can I just pick the West Coast Avengers? No. All right.

I think I know what it is. I think I know as well, but not a hundred percent sure on that last one. I'm two-thirds, I'm two-thirds sure, so I'm going to do two. That's the best I can do. I feel like I'm two-thirds sure, but I'm not sure. Given away your strategy there, Scott. Okay, you both locked in with two, even though Scott gave you a full chance to go for three there. Right, right, right, right.

I was in the same boat as Scott. I was like, hey, am I remembering this correctly? Yeah, it's tricky. All right, so, let's see, you both said WASP. Yeah, Janet Van Dyne was indeed a member of the Avengers in issue number one. somebody made it I see you made a gif of my muddling demonstration

Oh good Fortunately it doesn't look as much like I'm masturbating as I was worried So that's good, all right As you were hoping No As you were worried Okay yeah I got it

That's right All right Ant-Man you said Ant-Man Scott Brian you said the Hulk Members of the original Avengers Guess what? You're both right

right you guys both get oh look at us we get we guessed them you both get i just wasn't sure okay about the ant man yeah i think captain america captain merrick was uh uh uh on un on ice in uh issue four and um scarlet which came in much later with quicksilver as villains as does as did hawkeye hawkow was a villain in like uh 17 or something oh yeah anyway so congratulations well done oh i bet i oh look at us look at us do it yeah scarlet witch uh issue 16, hot guy issue 16. Hawkeye, not hot guy? I didn't know he was a villain.

Was he always a villain to start with or just that just in the Avengers context? Just that first appearance. Okay. Yeah, because he's in tight with that other lady. What's the bad guy? The Russian. Oh. Maximoff. Max, Russian Maximoff. You're talking about Wanda? Yeah, Wanda.

Yeah, I'm trying to go around. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Hey, let's get to question number two, shall we? You guys did our own with that one. Question number two, original product names. So I'm going to tell you a product in its original name. Three of these are real.

Three of these are fake. Round Trees, chocolate crisp, which was originally Kid Cat. Brad's drink was originally Pepsi, or was the original name for Pepsi. Backrub, the original name for Google. Cheeriotes for Cheerios. Baby Gaze for Q-Tips. And Mr. Super, the original name of the Game Boy. Oh, my Lord.

Oh, my God. God, these all sound wrong. They all do, but I... This is going to be a... Now we're going to separate the men from the boys. The wheat from the chat. I'm putting two big old fat guesses right in there. Just logical.

Logical. All right, you guys both have locked in with two again. Scott, you locked in with back rub, being the original name for Google. As did Brian. And you're both correct. That is a backrope was the original name for Google. I thought I remember that.

Yeah. However, Cheerioats was not the original name of Cheerios, but Baby Gaze indeed was the original name for Q-Tips. Yeah. Pepsi began its life as Brad's drink. I would have never, I would have never have guessed that. Oh, you'd be in restaurants now saying, is Brad's drink okay? That's terrible. What a Brad.

Can I get a diet bread's drink? You've got Coke? No. Brad's drink zero. Yeah, I want Brad's drink. Brad's zero. Yep. Brad zero.

All right. Cherry Brad's drink. That's good. Let's get to Crystal Brad's drink. Let's get to question number three here for finally all the marbles. Brian is going into this last question with the lead, six points. Scott's got three. But listen, you play your cards right.

It's anybody's game. Or playing cards? Yeah, we are. Characters in Hamlet. Who survived the play. So who makes it through Hamlet? Spoiler alert. Hamlet doesn't.

Yeah. And he's not on the list. Your choices are. Laerties. Gertrude. Prince 14 Bras. 14 bras. 14 bras.

14 bras. 14 bras. 14 braz. Horatio, Bernardo, and Rosencrantz. Oh, Lord. Yeah, these are, I'm trying to remember my hamlet here. I'm trying to. I remember nothing.

I'm about Hamlet. Nata. This is not going to go well for me. I know, I, I feel pretty positive about. It's basically the Northman, you know, really when you think about it. Hamlet is the Northman. Yeah, that's a good point. Oh, it is he told.

That is a totally, that is the Hamlet, that movie. You're right. Oh my gosh, I hadn't even thought of that. I'm not 100% there. I locked in. I'm locking him to, I don't know this. Scott is locked in. I know Rosencrantz is dead.

so I know that that's right Rosencrantz and Gilden Stern are dead there was even a movie later on a comedy based on that

you guys both locked in Horatio Horatio I'm pretty sure no is there a Horatio did survive Horatio was the grave digger I think that Hamlet

speaks to and he holds up York's skull and yes Horatio did survive the play however oh

neither Gertrude Hamlet's mom No, Rosencrantz survived the play, therefore the points. No points on that round. Brian Dunaway is walking away with the win. Damn, son. Congretulations. Yeah, well done.

I forgot Gertrude was his mom's name. Yeah. She's known that. Oh, Horatio is Hamlet's best friend. I thought he was the guy who was digging the grave outside of the castle, E. Fleming or L. Fleming or. I have no, I have no memory of this. I do know that my brain went backwards on this.

I thought they were people that died in the play. And so I chose Rosencrantz. Oh, you went backwards. Yeah, I went backwards. You did not survive the play. No. No. No.

No. Yeah. Nor did I survive the contest today. Gotcha. Molly wins and gets F1, 2020, and main assembly. However, Don Kelly, you're not going away empty-handed. You're not even going away because he didn't show up. But you're going to get Rock of Ages 3, make and break.

Nice. These are all good games. So no one lost today. They're no losers. They're no losers today. Which is part of what I like about this particular game is everybody kind of wins. Except Brian and I, one of us loses and that's, you know, fine. Hey, Dunnoy, speaking of losing.

Do we, though? No, you know, whatever. You being here, it's a win for me. It's a win for me as well. Tomorrow at 3.30 Mountain Time we'll be doing play retro, and we've decided to tackle what we think are the top best Commodore 64 games of its era. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, before you get excited, people, that means top best for me and Scott.

Yeah, we're not, we, you don't mean your top best. Yeah. It doesn't mean the top in the, you know, the charts, nothing like that. You won't take my top best. We take it if you want, if you wanted to. Yeah, if you want to join the show, come on. Yeah, send us in there, get us your top, your favorite. Hard Hat Mac is always the best.

So whoever says that is a winner with me. I'd say International Karate, that's the best. Maybe an impossible mission. Maybe summer games. Summer Games is great. Yeah. Summer games, winter games also good. I prefer California games, though.

How about that Turrican business, everyone loves so much? Maybe Turrican. Turrican. People love the Turrican. They always tell me about the Turrican. Yep. I love a good Turrican leg when I go to Disneyland. Yeah.

I'll get a Turrican leg. Anyway, there's more about... Plus, it has that intro, which is amazing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Welcome to Turrican. It's pretty cool. You've never heard before.

Yeah, we'll play that. I guarantee we'll be playing that. And a bunch more. Tomorrow. at 3.30 Mountain Time, if you want to watch it live. And if you don't, you can always get the podcast after. That's play retro wherever you get your shows. Brian Dunaway, thanks for hanging out with us and kiss our butts.

I know you. Off he goes. That's the end of that guy. All right. Well, as you can see, we've got some time for the late breaking news. So let's do it. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Cheese, when I said no cheese.

Oh, yeah. You ordered some, no cheese, and they gave you cheese. Yeah, I got a five guys. It was almost my complaint today, but whatever, people make mistakes. But I swear, every time I tell them no cheese, they still give me cheese every time I go there. Because why wouldn't you want cheese on a burger? That would be my answer. It's like, no, he may think he doesn't want cheese, but he definitely wants cheese.

He probably did do that, but I'm telling you, it just makes it all like, like, glue. It's like Elmer's glue in there. Yeah. But it hears all that stuff together. Fowl. Don't like burger cheese. Yeah. The only cheeseburger I think I like is when the cheese is still sort of a solid hunk of of cheese, you know, like a piece of sliced cheese and not all melted into everything.

I hate that. I know I'm weird. It's just me. All right. Hey, you ever miss, you ever lose your dog? You ever lose your car keys? You ever lose your dog? well this guy did and uh they finally found him 500 feet below the earth i made my dog swallow an apple air tag so i will never lose my dog that's a good i'm sure it'll never pass out the other end you'll be fine uh this thing this dog was found 500 freaking

feet wow underground in an intricate cave system uh when teacher and recreational caver rick haley set out to help uh map a cave on august six he had no idea what it ended up aging a rescue mission, let alone reuniting a lost dog with her owner. Haley, along with a team of 30 Spalunkers. Splunkers. I hate that term. I really do. I don't know why.

It just doesn't sound good. Spalunkers. They were mapping a cave north of Perryville, Missouri as part of a project for Cave Research Foundation. The cave is part of a Burkome Moore Cave System. That's their second largest cave system in Missouri, measuring around 22 miles. Ailey, age 66, who was involved in logistics and managing problems on the expedition, exited the cave to find another caver and an assistant fire chief from the local fire department. Glad you're here.

The fire chief told Haley, can you help us do a dog cave rescue? That's kind of where it started. Anyway, they found the dog. He was in poor shape. Didn't seem to have any big injuries, but really malnourished, probably real thirsty, skin and bones. Oh, poor thing. But they got her. They're just doing what he saw his master doing, right?

He's like, oh, master goes, master goes into caves. I'm going to caves. Well, this is for, wait, who's the lady? No, this is for, wait, what is this? Haley of the two friends is. I'm glad you're here. Wait a minute, who owned the dog? Now I'm confused.

I thought it was, oh, wasn't Haley. Haley was the recreational caver. Yeah, it's a her that has the dog, and I don't know who she is. Does it say? It doesn't say. I thought I read it. well it's not his dog reuniting a dog with her owner

but they never yeah they never they don't get into it yeah they don't get into it huh all right well um but anyway they wrap the they wrapped the poor thing in a little blanket put him in a duffel bag with his head out you know her yeah he or her i don't know her head out yeah her owner yeah her owner so the dog's a female yeah that's how it works if you're a lady your dog is always a female always um you know what I only have girl dogs, have I told you this? Why?

Well, I read it on Twitter. Yeah, because boy dogs wipe their wieners on everything. They constantly are why. If they sit on a blanket, guess what? Weiner out. Never had a female dog in heat, Scott? I feel like they do, they rub their hoo-haws on everything. Oh, yeah, back in the day when I was young, I had dogs in heat.

But ever since, I don't know, well, as an adult, the dogs have always been neutered or spayed. Which is it for girls? Spade. spade for yeah spade for uh girls neutered because you get nudicles you can get neuticles for dogs oh nice nice well uh anyway the point is um it's worked out pretty well for me and then if you're rubbing up the belly of a of a of a dog if it's a female dog you know the the vajay is nowhere near the general ruby zone but if it's a boy dog they got the any minute that pink lipstick uh holder's gonna pop out you don't you don't want that do you

Do you want that? I don't want to rub a dog's wiener, is what I'm saying. No, well, it's a tough way to find out that you're gay. When you find yourself rubbing the dog's belly and the wiener comes out like, oh, crap, I must be gay. Yeah, that must be it. Red Rocket, Red Rocket. All right. Gang of female shoplifters stole thousands of dollars worth of men's Nike boxer shorts from coal stores.

according to investigators it's like uh the plot of uh oceans eight is what we're looking at here this is oceans uh whatever the next one's gonna be what number oceans eight point five yeah i kind of like that movie is all right it was all right it's okay yeah i mean it wasn't you know you liked it because it had sondra bullock admit it that's what i like her a lot but i also like i like all those ladies and i think it could have been better but they kind of just went by the numbers i think they could have whatever i'm sure to remember was aquifina in that i think Kakofino was in that, wasn't she? She was like a computer hacker person or something.

That's right, yep. Yeah, I think that was right. And then you had, uh, Rihanna, was Rihanna in that? Yeah, Rihanna was that. She was eight ball, or nine ball. Oh, I'm thinking of her in, uh, battleship. For some reason, I don't know why I was thinking of that. She was terrible in battles.

Well, she was in that too. Yeah, she was really bad, she was good in Ocean's eight. Anyway, uh, uh, anyway, okay, so where, so here's the deal. Surveillance footage shows three women. I don't know if that constitutes as a gang, by the way. No, that's not a gang. I think gang is like five or more. It's a coffee clatch is what that is.

A coffee clutch of women accused of stealing. Coffee clatch of shoplifters. That's right. Surveillance shows these women crouched over a display case in the men's department of a coal store in Newman, New Georgia. The video or sorry, the footage shows the women leading the store carrying merchandise in large bags without paying for items. The Cole store said the women were after Nike men's boxer shorts, which according to the Cole's website, cost between 24 and 40 bucks for a pack of three. Wow. Good Lord.

Yeah. Well, they're getting the expensive stuff, the Nike. If you go for the Under Armour, you can get it for like 18 for a three pack. I like the Under Armour. I'm a fan. I do too. Still the only hats that fit me. Coles did not.

What? Under Armour underwear underwear is the only hat that'll fit you? No, they make a hat. You see him on my head all the time. I love those things. They're great for my giant head. Yeah. And my giant crotch.

Coles did not immediately respond to insiders request for comment. It says here, are these really popular or something? Is that the deal? No, I can visualize the area where, like, all of these are there because I, you know, I have a Coles block north of me, or a block south of me, and that's where I go to get my clothing items that, uh, don't care about them being fashionable. Yeah, but do they, what I mean is, like,

are Nike branded men's boxers, like some kind of awesome secondary market thing? I think they're probably better for sports and wicking and stuff like that. I don't know about them being, you know, super popular, but they're probably, they're probably specialized, so they're more expensive.

Well, that makes sense. I'm just trying to figure out where they would want them. Are they reselling them? Like, I don't know, $6,000 worth of stuff stole from, one, two, three different stores, all the same women, and that's all they're stealing it is this underwear. They must have figured out that it's like the lowest viewed, the risk versus reward area

of the Coles, right? Like, there's never a security camera on the men's underwear section. Yeah. And these maybe are probably the most expensive men's underwear. My guess is that they are turning around and taking them back to other Coles stores or something. Oh, for refunds. To get refunds, yeah. Coles does have a pretty lenient refunds policy.

This is the thing that happens to stores that do that. In fact, that was one of the reasons. Some listener wrote in and said that the reason that Target throws away bikes that haven't sold and not give them to charity or something is because that happens there too. They get turned around with like either a fake charity or somebody buys them really cheap at the charity or some other thing. And then they go back to Target, return them, and get cut. cash or something like that yeah makes sense yeah i mean because and those bikes will get refunds

for a nice little profit so sure even a huffy bringing you yeah a couple of shiny dollars um speaking of money some huffy money uh speaking of something that's much more than huffy money Ferrari uh they make the fast cars you know anyway they were calling nearly every car they've ever sold since 2005 so brian your three ferrari wow Oh, no. I know. What are you going to do with that garage? My dad's going to be so pissed for that Ferrari that he keeps, that he wipes with a baby diaper in the garage.

A baby diaper. Wait. Oh, yeah, like the cloth diaper. Yeah. That's what Cameron's dad did with the Ferrari that Ferris Bueller destroyed. Yeah, it was the sham wow of the 80s. We just used baby cloth diapers. They actually are awesome.

If you can get your hands on baby cloth diapers for, like, cleaning things, they're freaking great. Really? Okay. know that like legitimately good at like cleaning your glasses um what else like things that are really pesky about like oil and dirt screens and that kind of thing it's awesome for real for real if you get your hands on one use it for everything it's great yeah i see who tries to correct me and say Cameron destroyed the Ferrari no i seem to remember ferrisaking i'll take the heat on this you don't need this much heat yeah i'll take the heat yeah his friend took all the responsibility

he's fine now yeah all the heat you need to go through with it Cameron took the heat no he took the heat and that was the last we ever saw Cameron did we not until us uh the show he's on now uh spin city he was on

oh succession succession correction yes it's like not until succession did Cameron finally oh my gosh I'm playing this Lego game yesterday I'm trying to do a review of games that work best on the on the steam deck and one of them people recommended to me

was this Lego game. It's kind of like a GTA game. It's called Lego something city. I forgot now. You play a cop, but it's like a lot of missions that remind you of, you know, playing GTA or something. Anyway, it's really good so far, a really fun little game, but I'm in this prison trying to find some, I don't remember what, and I'm talking to a Lego guy who I see

from the back and I walk up and it does a cut scene. He goes, are you blue? The guy who turns around and goes, yeah, I'm a man who can get things for you if you need things and he's doing a total Morgan Freeman voice yeah but he's blue I love that yeah and the entire time he's doing this this obvious parody of of something only adults would see which is hilarious because this is a Lego game for kids and he goes uh at the end somebody walks up and he goes hey blue uh do you think that if I give information to the cops I might become or that one might make you a free man and he goes don't say Freeman they'll sue me for

if you say Freeman. Like, it was the dumbest, like, greatest thing. And I loved it. It was amazing. Anyway. The chat room, okay, okay. I may admit it, yes. Cameron did destroy the Ferrari.

Okay, you guys go out. Oh my gosh. And he's still going on my, I was just doubling down on my joke on my error. Jeez, send it down. He was in that tornado movie. Oh, yeah. What's it called? The, uh, the people in.

it. Now all I'm thinking about it has been speed on the bus. They had the Brad's drink. He's the tourist. They had the Brad's drink cans. Twister. Twister, thank you, yes.

Yeah, remember when they put Brad's drink cans in the sky? Do you remember that? They made a whole, look at the, now look at all the twisters. The chat room has forgotten about Cameron now and has moved on to Twister. Yeah, this is how they work. This is what they do. This is their whole reason for being here. I think they're all clinically, they all would be clinically diagnosed, everybody in our chat.

I don't know what they would be diagnosed with. I'm not saying, not making any judgments. There's something. There's something there. Anyway, if you own a Ferrari that was sold since 2005, they're recalling them all. All of them. Oh, yeah, yeah.

We never did talk about why they're recalling them. No. So here's the deal. Break failures. They got a problem. Yeah. 19 of its models dating all the way back to 20-0-5, reportedly at risk for potential break failure,

according to the National Highway Safety Transformation, Ha-H-H-T-S-A. According to their filing, the issue related to the brake fluid reservoir gap cap not gap cap not the reservoir gap yeah the reservoir gap is a very different thing uh your condoms thank you for your information all right may not may not vent properly and created a vacuum inside the brake fluid reservoir the resulting problem was break fluid leak that would lead to a partial or total loss of brake function yeah for a fast car that's bad recall that shit uh glad they're fighting this out 17 years

years later about the 2005 models. Crimey. Yeah. The year Batman Begins came out. I always think of that for some reason. Oh, fine. Oh, fine. I can tell you the biggest three movies that year, for me anyway.

Batman Begins, came out. Serenity, the Firefly movie. Sure. And then the third prequel, which was okay. The Revenge of the Sith business was that year. Oh, sure. Okay. I mean, it wasn't V for V for V.

Vendetta? I like V for Vendetta. It just wasn't high on my radar at the time. Constantine? Constantine's okay. Oh, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was that year. Yeah, I like that movie. My kids still think it's the greatest thing ever made.

They love it. They love that. Let's see. I'm just looking at the rest of these. Yeah, you know, you're not wrong as far as like... Yeah, 05 didn't have like a gigantic roster, but I had no... It really doesn't. Yeah, Batman begins definitely at the top.

for me, Serenity. No, no competition from the Fantastic Four. Uh-uh. The Jessica Alba. No, that was garbage. The chickless one. That was poopie. That was poopy pants.

Suthera was that year, which we found we discovered to be kind of good. I liked Zathura. I liked it more the second time, actually. I really enjoyed watching it for Filmsack. Sin City. Yeah. History of Violence. Yeah, it was good.

It was really good. Narnia, the first Narnia film. oh i forgot about that um harry potter and the goblet of fire is that correct yeah goblet of fire would have been that year um let's see and then a bunch of shit one of them i remember there's a um oh oh the house of wax with uh paris hilton why have we have we watched that we have not watched that you for no but we've talked about it we should sack tover baby yeah that's that's a rotten one i've heard So Dennis Quaid was in a movie There was a remake of a 60s thing

Where they crash a plane in the desert Somewhere in Africa And then have to do a thing I remember that was 05 But I don't remember the name of the movie I just remember it was a thing I boy I can't even think of that Duke is saying Sahara

Sahara that was it That was it There you go It's bad it was a bad remake Yeah Flight of the Phoenix no Flight of the Phoenix What the hell's that

Flight of the Phoenix I do like I do like telling a career, the best title ever. Harry Potter and the problematic author. Yep, and that's definitely kind of where we're at. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, Stephen Schlecker will be joining us, as he always does on Mondays. Can't wait to talk to him because I have stuff to say about the latest 8 billion genies issue, which was very good.

And a few other things. So stick around for that. In the meantime, a song from Brian, please. Yeah, how about a new electro-pop song? You know, I dig the electro-pop. is an electropop singer or band. Let's see here, called Alexandra John. It's made up of Liza and Weston Kane.

Flight of the Phoenix. Because the old movie was Flight of the Phoenix also. And this was a remake of that, and it was not

great. Is my memory. I see. Do you think Jack Quaid stays in touch with his uncle Randy Quaid? Do you think that happens? Oh, yeah, I don't know. Probably. Right? Maybe a little bit. He seems like a really nice guy. Maybe Christmas cards.

Yeah. He seems like the most normal of the quades, this kid. He's great. Jack, yeah, for sure. I doubt he's like going to hang out, going to stay with, going to visit grandpa and stay with him for a few days. Yeah, probably not. Yeah. Well, good luck with Uncle Randy.

All right, here comes, here comes this. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Oh my gosh, you guys. Stephen Schleiker joins us. What a, what a catch. What a get. Stephen, hello. Oh, hello, Scott. Hi.

Oh, hello. Hey, man. It's good to have you here. I wanted a really quick mention that I got the latest fourth issue of eight billion genies. Yeah, how many of the genies are left? Or I should say how many people on Earth are left? By the end of the issue, or right toward the end, they say one billion and dropping of people. And that's down from eight.

That's seven billion people gone. And then 500,000. no, I'm sorry, 500 million genies available still. Wow. Many genies. Many genies were left. Also, a giant reveal about the genies toward the end of the issue, which I didn't see coming. I really, really love that series,

and I only hate that it's monthly. I hate it. I hate waiting. I don't want to wait. I want the whole damn trade all done. This is one of those where I just have to have it the second it comes out. It's the greatest recommendation you ever made. I freaking love it. It's a nice job. Well, nice job.

Yeah, nice job, Stephen. Thank you. Anyway, I wanted to give you a quick update on that. Also, I'm reading that, they made a Dune adaptation here recently. Let's see, House of At Atraties, I think is the first volume. Oh, yeah, at Boom Studios. There's actually another one after that that actually wraps up this week, the waters of, what's that group's name, Weberley or something?

Oh, right. Oh, crap. I forgot the name. I have it marked as one to get once I'm done here. But I really like it. It's very good. It's very adherent to the comics, or to the books, rather. And it's just nice to have visuals with that stuff.

And I love all things doing. So I recommended that as well. All right. Let's get to the meat of today's discussions. Of course, Steve is coming from... Get to some meat, would you? Yeah, you want some damn meat. How about this?

Devil in the White City moving forward. You want to explain what that is and why we should care? So this is a really great book. This is kind of like a true crime story about the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. So there's the book that it called Devil in the White City about the one of the greatest, I wouldn't say greatest, but serial killer, Dr. H.H. Holmes, who built the murder castle in Chicago and was just like, you know, had secret compartments and, you know, piping gas into people's rooms and killing them in the middle of the night kind of stuff. And then totally saying, oh, that person checked out of our, you know, establishment months ago. We have no forwarding address on them. And then comparing that at the same time to the buildup of the world's fair, which if you go back and look at the pictures, you see, it's called the white city because everything is done in this kind of Greco-Roman marble-esque type stuff.

And so there's this comparison between these two. Ever since this book has been released, and I would highly recommend people checking it out. They've been trying to, yeah, people have been trying to adapt it into either a movie or a TV series. At one point, I know Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese were both involved in trying to get it developed, but now it's moving instead of a movie, it's moving ahead as a TV series over at Hulu, and it's got Keanu Reeves playing Daniel Burnham, who is the guy who the architect behind the 1893 World's Fair, or Chicago's World's Fair, yeah. Okay, so he's not the killer. No, which I find really remarkable because everything you read about Burnham is not Keanu Reeves, but everything you read about Holmes is totally Keanu. Reeves. Yeah. Yeah. I would agree. And I actually, I think the

Dr. Holmes would be the one that is the more interesting character to play. Yeah. There's something weird going on here. They have on his Wikipedia page, this Holmes guy. They have a photo of him, which looks like any old, any posed photo in the late 1800s. Yeah. But it says his mugshot, did they used to pose

for mugshots in like bowler hat, suits, ties, angle it just right? I have no idea. That's sorry. Yeah. It's been a while since I've read the books about five or six, seven years maybe more. But yeah, he was they chased him down all over the place trying and you know he was changing identities and everything i forget where they finally tracked him down uh because they were trying to look for uh these kids that were supposedly with him killed them all sorry uh spoiler spoiler yeah i know

right but yeah i don't i don't remember that they they had him in custody and then they brought him in where he kind of somehow somewhat confessed but also didn't confess to chloroforming and killing a bunch people. You guys just horrible. He admitted to 27 murders, according to this, but they're still believed to have been more. Yeah.

He was only 34 when he was executed, nine days for his birthday. So that means that a lot of the stuff was just like in his 20s. Oh yeah. I mean, the story of how he ended up with the murder castle is interesting as well. That may have been at least in the context of this story, his first murder, because he essentially killed the proprietor of the building and then faked a lot of paperwork to say that the guy left everything to him and then he just went on this mad spree to just change the whole building into you know weird corners and dead ends and hidden rooms and all sorts of things for this yeah wow it's there's a post office there now where it used to be tore all that down so now the real murder castle is the post office ah oh no wait in line that's interesting i i i don't think i know that i'm always fast

by serial killers. I don't know why I just am like a lot of people are. It's the whole true crime thing. It works on me. But I don't know why I don't know anything about this dude. So maybe this book's worth picking up. Yeah, it is. And I will give some people a little bit of warning. If you do read the book or even better listen to the audio book, it flip flops back and forth. The two characters, Burnham and Holmes never really meet. And so on the one hand, you're getting these great inspirational stories of how Burnham really kind of changed the face of the world's fair and brought all of these things like the midway and the ferris wheel and all of these things that made their appearance here. And so it's really, really uplifting stuff.

And then you flip to the next chapter and it's all about Holmes and him killing these people and the suspicions of who he may or may not have killed. So it really is this constant circle of a really, really high to really, really dark lows in the book. But it's fascinating throughout. It's crazy. I'm looking at his photo again. And he's only 23 in this photo. And everyone back then looks 68. I don't understand. I don't get it. That's so weird to me. Smoking, I guess. I don't know. Anyway, well, there you go. That's happening. And get your Keanu Reeves on, everybody, because there he is, doing his woe. All right. Moving on. We now know what Dan Didio is working on. It kind of went dark for a bit there. Yeah, and that's probably once he was let go over at DC Comics. He was

probably under some kind of no-compete clause that said for two years you can't do anything. And so now he and Frank Miller are back with Frank Miller Publishing and over this past weekend at the Boston Fan Expo during one of the events they revealed one of the first projects coming out of the Frank Miller Publishing is going to be a Sin City project that's been sitting around for a while Sin City 1858 let's take everything you love about Sin City and put it in the old West and interesting okay yeah and then Dan Didio's also got a kind of a superhero kind of story going on in his as well these are going to be initially the ash can is out now supposedly if you go to your comic book shop this week you should be able to pick up the ash can for free but uh apparently it's already going on ebay for like 30 bucks for this uh this early print preview of all the comics that are coming out so this is called the initial the initial series wanted sin city 1858 blood and dust yeah i'm in it's just made for Scott

it's just built for me I'm totally in on this Frank Miller's art has radically changed since you know the very first Sin City so when you're looking at that cover of the Mesoamerican

or whoever this is on the cover it doesn't really look I mean you can see the stylings there but it doesn't look like the Frank Miller that you remember and so I think that that's gonna even in his later Dark Night Returns part three and four and whatever other stuff he was doing it doesn't look like his art anymore

do you think his um i saw him he accepted some award here recently or gave one or something at comic con probably and he's he something's up with his back and i always and i don't know if everyone's talked about it is it because he's hunched over writing and drawn all the time do you know i don't remember i think he has another illness that is doing that okay so something's doing something's causing this or it's some other connected unconnected thing because he's just It looks so up, been out of shape. And when I saw it, I went, oh, this isn't because, I mean, I draw like this a lot. Am I setting myself up for Frank Miller back one day?

Oh, right. Yeah. No kidding. You know? Well, now that you've talked about him. Oh, yeah, I got to quit mention. We can't say names of celebrities. We get in trouble.

Whatever. Yeah. But he's always, he's always, uh, he's always just bent into the left a little bit. And it's, it's not, I'm not saying it's bad. I just don't know what's going on with the poor guy, you know? I know, I know he had his, uh, he had his, uh, he had, his little moment of ugly uh not long ago but then i guess he's really apologetic about that stuff it's like i didn't know what i was saying oh yeah yeah his uh holy terror or whatever it is

just try to avoid that at all cost because that is like the worst of all comics ever made yeah and he claims to have he doesn't think that way anymore he says no he said he was very angry after nine 11 and that really drove a lot of of what that was and then yeah he's kind of gone back and I was very hot-headed at the time, and I've changed. And he wrote Robocop 2. That'll mess anyone up, you know? Anyway, was that true? When I make that up?

He made that up. Frank Miller. That I don't know. Robo. I have no idea. Oh, yeah, Robocop 2. Did he really? Yeah, he did.

I knew I wasn't losing my mind. Written by Frank Miller, co-written by Wallen Green. I wonder how many of us tried to forget that. He also wrote Robocop 3. Oh, geez. And, yeah. Three so bad. There's a screenwriter on.

The Spirit, of course, you wrote the Spirit. Guys, I'll remember that. Yeah, sure. The Spirit. We watched it for a film set. Yeah. I'm sorry. Or did we watch the Spirit?

No, we watched the Shadow. Yeah. Oh, man, you should watch the Spirit. We thought, we've talked about it. We need to do that. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, it's, prepare yourselves. It is, it's pretty bad.

All right. Before you go, because I just always end up liking your recommendations. Do you have any hot recommendations this week, like new comics for you? Oh, let's see. What do we have? coming out this week that I would recommend let me let me just

I don't know the whole story on it because it's just like, oh my God, I got to buy 13 times the number of comics just to find out what's going on in this story. Right. Yes, exactly. Like, massive, yeah, I'll wait for, I'll wait for them to all show up on

There was a great Hellboy story that came out last week, Hellboy, 1957 where he and a fellow BPRD agent go out hunting for cryptids in um oh i heard about that yeah that one was that one was really pretty fun yeah i can't remember so really all we need to do you know your your your comic book sequels just uh take him back a few years so you know since city and hellboy and i know we did the marvel one 1602 or or something like that i loved that marvel one that was good yeah and that recent um uh night darkest night

or what's it called the that's like middle ages or all the electric yeah you're so dear listener when scott is talking about a new comic that's just come out he's talking about a new comic that just came out on on the unlimited series which is six months to a year behind yeah well no there that one's not that one's still newish right i'm not making that that's like a year old so i'm thinking of something else then hold on if it's if it's the same one we're thinking of it's the one where like the power goes out all across the earth no not that not that one this is one where they're actually in like Arthurian

legend era alternate universe DC stuff and it just ended but I don't think it's even on the app If you're into dinosaurs

step too far You know I don't know Okay all right Marvel this week If you like your time traveling adventures They have Avengers One million BC

Yeah Oh wow Okay Somebody's just decided Let's go the oldest we can possibly. Yeah, may as well. Gosh, dang it. I can't find the name of the thing.

It's recent-ish, and it's like one of the Tom's. Okay, I believe you. I can't think of it. It's really good, though. Someone in the chat. Come on, now you guys are better at this usually posted in there, damn it. This week, surprisingly, is, seems relatively light from my perspective as I'm putting the previews together for tomorrow. Knights of Steel, Knights of Steel.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. All right. Go ahead. Yeah, that's medieval stuff, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so we are not quite in a fifth week, but we're also kind of a week in between Comic-Conn's this week. This week we have last, not this past weekend, but two weekends ago. We had the C2E2 convention. This weekend is the Emerald City Comic-Con. And that will probably, we're going to be coasting out of the Comic-Con season as we approach September. And between September and November, it's generally a slow time for publishers, because everyone's back to school and a lot of other activities. So, yeah, just there's going to be, you know, some weeks where there's going to be a ton of comics and some weeks where there's going to be very few comics.

Yeah. Well, get used to it, everybody. It's fall. Most kids are your kids back in? They're back in now? They start this week. So both of them go back on Wednesday for full day and continue on from there. Oh, Wednesday start.

That's weird. Yeah, it's really weird. I don't know why. They tend to make Monday, Tuesday, the end service so teachers can do their last minute prep. And then the kids used to be they went back for half a day, but this year they're like, nope, we're going to keep them here for the full day. And I'm like, I'm fine with that. Yep, got

to edgimicate him. Let's get them going. Get them out there. Tom Taylor, there's the answer. Gosh, dang it. All these things my brain wouldn't let me say, the chat room is fixed. Thank you, chat room. I appreciate it. Well, yeah, go ahead. One more. Batman One Bad Day, the Ridler. Oh, yeah. What is the thing that sends the riddler over the edge?

It's been very much hyped by DC Comics. It's out this week. It is an expensive book. It's an $8 comic book. But that is your Tom King and Mitch Gerard's comic. I love Tom King. People are talking about. I also just read the new, the first issue of, I bought this just brand new day one because I love the deceased series so much.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And, well, if you like that, how about DC versus vampires, which is the thing that's been going on as well. Oh, I didn't know about that. I'll get that. I don't like vampires as much as like undead and stuff, but I'll check it out. Now, these are totally vampires, so. Okay, all right.

DC's got like so many different event things going on at the same time. It's just weird. It's a lot right now, yeah. Yeah. No doubt. But the deceased series is one of my favorites. I freaking love it. Yeah.

Anyway, first issue, very good. I will recommend it. Supergirl has a bad turn, though. Ooh, man. They all do eventually. They all do eventually. Check it out, major spoilers.com all week and every day. You'll find cool stuff about everything you're into, whether it's comics, movies,

pop culture, whatever. It's one of my go-to links every morning. You should be yours as well. So go check it out. Stephen Schlecker, everybody. Stay hydrated, everyone. Yeah, stay hot. Get some water.

Drink some water. It'll be hot. Yeah, it's going to be hot. It's very hot. Although we have a lot of overcast weather today and I love it because I can go out and hang out and it's nice. Oh, nice. Well, there you go. The heat or not the sun.

Today, no mash up. And you might say, why Scott? I would say because Jamie had COVID. He is recovering and doing much better. But it meant a lot of craziness around his house. His kids now have it. And his wife's, you know, got a lot on her hands. He's got a new job that starts, I think, today or tomorrow.

tomorrow. It's a lot. It's a lot going on. It is. It is a lot. A lot. It's a lot. It's a lot. And so he sent me a TMS classic. This is Scott's dream about Brian's severed head. I love it. Good. Yeah. So no mashup, but still a fun look in the past. So enjoy. I had a dream that made me check on Brian for his safety and his well-being. And in the dream, we were at some big, movie premiere and for some reason it had an intermission and it was me it was this weird old man couldn't tell you what he is or what he is now it's too far gone now i don't remember but you were in it and you were very distinctly in it i remember that like nothing else you and i were at this premiere and the dream started when the thing came up and said intermission and we all walked out to go to the lobby and to go to the bathroom everything seems fine you say to me oh there they are let's go in there i say okay and i'm right behind you you haven't heard this story yet no so we're trotting up to the bathroom it's just a couple of doors old man goes through that we're with, whoever that is, you go through, and then a guy in all black ninja costume, couldn't see any facial or anything, just all black, busts in front of me, jerks in there in front of me, and then shuts the door, pushes it shut. And I went,

what is this about? And I got up to the door to go push it, and I push it a little bit, and I see the black hand on the other side, the clothed hand, slam it as hard as he could back at me. Just slammed it. Okay. And then put something up so nobody could get in. All right. And then somehow in dream sense, it made sense for me to just sit outside and wait again, right? So, yeah, no problem. I'll just wait. Turn on a fan when you're done. Exactly. So I'm out there in the hallway

waiting for what's going on and we hear screaming and yelling in there. Oh, geez. It's real bad. It's one of those dreams where you really feel like, oh, something terrible. This is just awful. And it was one of those dreams that felt so real to me that when I woke up, it took me a while, maybe a couple hours to just kind of get over the feeling of it. Weird. Yeah, I didn't like this at all. It was awful. Here's how it went down for you.

Door finally opens. Now suddenly there are like police FBI, paramedic people everywhere, and they wheel out the old man in pieces. He's laying on a table where his arms are segmented, his legs are segmented, and his torso's just laying there and he's got this blank stare on his face. But he's still alive somehow or something. But then I'm like, wait, what has happened to my friend Brian is what's in my head. They come out of there with a wheelchair with nothing but your severed head on the wheelchair. And you turn around and you're getting wheeled out and you're just kind of blank face like almost like you're dead, just a head. And they will you pass me? And I'm, like, in shock going, but that's Brian, you know. Oh, my God. And they go down to the end of the hall. Suddenly they stop. They move out of the way.

You turn your head around. I can't wait to hear what I say. And you went, you're not going to like it. You turned around and you went, oh, walk, go, wah, walk, gaw. Like that. And it was really bad. And I woke up in kind of a sweat going, oh, my gosh, what the hell? So I texted Brian.

All right, man. You're not ahead somewhere on a table being kept alive or anything weird, right? So, yeah. I don't know what does. say about that other than to say that was terrible and yeah don't go to that bathroom dude just don't go in there that's such a weird now it's more vivid than ever just hear myself tell the story again no kidding you're you're visualizing it again now you're gonna have that dream again now i'm gonna dream it again all my dreams lately though are about being late for something or

missing something that's my dreams now oh really yeah well i hate it obviously you know that that that fit the end of the people who say oh dreams don't beat anything i feel like that one they could say well, that probably just means that you're really worried about being late for something. Yeah, I mean, it literally means what it means. Maybe something specific or just being late. I mean, in every dream, I kind of don't remember last night's, but it was kind of a random, like, oh, you can't. You're not going to make it because you're late or I don't know what it was. Right.

I hate that feeling, though. Freaking hate it. Well, anyway, Brian, you're still here. Your head is on your shoulders. My head's still on my shoulders and I can talk. See, he knows how to talk. We got an email I want to read real quick from. Dan Youep is his name?

Youep. Dan Youep. Send and receive email. He sent that email to The Morning Stream at gmail.com and he says, Hey, Brian and Scott, when did people start giving you goofy names when they write in? Says Danube. The S&B equivalents to usually the topic that they're sending their email in about. Yeah, almost always.

And I noticed he didn't do it. Scotch and bourbon. Very common, scotch and bourbon. Yeah, I noticed he didn't do it, but also he has a weird name. Oh. So there's that. That's no excuse. Yeah, I agree. I would think actually him having a weird name, and I'm sure that's a fake name. I'm sure his name isn't really Dan Youep.

Yeah, it doesn't seem right. So I don't remember this. Do you remember when? No, when that started? Yeah. Years and years. Early on, yeah. Maybe eight years ago, I would say. I'd say, I'd even go earlier than that.

And so this is a good, you know, while you're recuperating, Jamie and not doing anything, but just sitting there. You know, go back and listen through and figure out when the first e-mails received. Yeah, yeah. I have no idea. Yeah, there's nothing you could search for in the TMS email to see when it first happened, right? No, I don't have a way to do that. I don't have a way to do, I mean, because I don't know what I'd be searching for. It'd be like, you know, like what.

Yeah. I don't know what it would be. I could probably find the first time. I think it's earlier than Love the show, though, for sure. Oh, yeah, yeah. Love the show, though, it came a little bit later. So, yeah, we're probably talking like 2012. 20, maybe even 11.

The first couple of years, yeah, sure. Anyway, there's your answer. Dan Youep, if that is your real name. Youep. Quick couple things. Our Patreon had a bunch of new folks join since we last spoke. So I wanted to mention their names. Yeah, well, check out these names.

Frank Andrewsowitz. Do you think that's right? Andrewsuits. Yeah, why not? Sean Priest, Exonis. That's a cool name. Arxenius. Arxenius.

Exxonius. whatever it is. Exxonius. Exxon. Exxon is us? I don't know. Exxon is now supporting the show. Check it out. Exxon. I us. Terry Davis, Neal Jose or Josie. I don't know. Probably it just depends. Probably Jose. And, oh, and we did this guy's name on another, on film set, didn't we? Kean. Yes. C.I. I. Kian. Yeah. So welcome to the show of you guys. You guys are all awesome. Unless it's pronounced Sean. He still has not written in to say how his name is pronounced because it's most likely Kean, but there were a couple people who said, that could be Sean. Could be. We've gotten more emails from people with ideas and never him. So I don't know why.

Yeah, no. Nope. Your ideas are, thank you for your ideas, but we want the actual source. Yes, thank you. There's only one person who can answer this question. Absolutely.

Frogpants.com slash TMS is a place you can find a link to that or just go straight there. Patreon.com slash TMS. For all else, it's frogpants.com slash TMS. And I think that's going to do it for today. show we usually end the show of the song and well today is no different so brian play a song for sure well we mentioned him earlier so i'm glad we get to dedicate a request to him hey biscuit and sausage there's one uh today marks the first day of training for my new position after working for

the company for the last 15 years this is a mashups tms mashups jami by the way oh yeah yeah uh it took a solid four months of various stages and hours of interview prep but in the end it doesn't even Mad. In the end, I landed one of the positions they were hiring for. This marks the start of a new chapter in my life and my family's life. I trust the covermaster to play an appropriate song for this momentous occasion as I start this new adventure in a completely different field. Scott, give me your five to ten best scream clips. Oh, my gosh. And you've added bonus for that's not it. So, uh, oh man. Um, all right, we'll give my best. I don't have a best list. I'll just play this. Just scream, scream clips. I'll play you the shortest. Here we go. That's Veronica.

All right. That's me. That's me. There, there's your top ten. Excellent. That just reminded me, by the way. We went to the Broncos game on Saturday night, the preseason, first preseason game. And the girl who is sitting behind me, and I commented to Tina on this, and she laughed, and I completely forgotten.

I wish I could have recorded it. But any time there was a play where the Broncos were trying to gain some forward momentum. So didn't care about the Cowboys, but she was like, you know, whenever the Broncos were trying to pass or run, whatever, she would sound like you playing a scary video game. She'd be like, ah, just like we just heard. Or, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like, like watching some guy kind of juke around another defensiveman and that sort of thing. Did she ever yell shit potatoes? Did that happen?

She never did. Never said anything about, uh, about Mark Knopfler's nipple or anything like that. Yeah. Uh, anything like that. So, anyway. That's a shame. You know, it's really, that's the, we need to work on that. Maybe I'll do that next time.

Oh, Mark Knopfler's nipple. Were there a bunch of fights? I heard there's a bunch of fights. Like the teams were fighting? Yeah. Near the end there were. and we, uh, we, we, we bailed out because it started raining on us in the middle, late third quarter and Broncos were well ahead.

So we're like, it's preseason game. It's raining on us. I said, I basically said, Tina, balls totally in your court. I will happily do whatever you want to do. You want to stay? We'll stay. You want to go. We'll go.

She's like, let's go. Yeah. Yeah. So. Fantastic. There we go. Uh, Jamie closed out his email with shove a hobo with his drobo, not a hoho though for the horde bro in the sun.

though. All right, Jamie. Well, hope you're doing better, man. And you requested a song about overcoming challenges, reaching the top, moving up in the world, et cetera. I hope I've picked a song of the light because it's an inspirational piece. It's about a woman who was, you know, faced with severe challenges, her job, her life, the place that she was living, you know, and her dreams of basically,

of doing the things that she wanted to do, the dance that she wanted to do, which, you know, involves sitting on a chair and pulling a cord and having water dump on her. She's just a steel town girl on a Saturday night. Yeah, the song is Maniac by Michael Sembello. Here is a cover by Awall Nation. This is from the brand new all-cover album they released called My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers, and Me. Dude, this album is fantastic. Awall Nation and Nothing But Thieves with Maniac Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night

Looking for the fight of alive In the real time world No one's easy They all think she's crazy Like in rhythms to the beat of her heart Changing woman into life She has danced into the danger zone When a dancer becomes the dance

It can cut you like a knife If the gift becomes the fire On a wire between will and what will be She's a maniac, She's a maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac On the floor

And she's dancing like she's never danced before The ice blue line of eternity It's the place most never seen It's a hard one place of all mystery You taught you back and hold it When you would go your life for the moment of time You could come or just pass you by

It's a push of hope But there's always a chance If the hunger stays the night There's a cold kinetic heat Strung in searching for the peak Never stop it with her head against the wind She's a maniac, She's a maniac, I shall know

Because she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, mayiac, I shall know Because she's dancing like she's never danced before Oh Oh Oh Oh Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm can touch you like a knife If the gift becomes a fun Or why a bitch we will and what will be She's a maniac, Maybeiard, I shall know And she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maybeer, I shall know

Because she doesn't like she's never danced before She's a mediac, baby, I shall know Because she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a ladya, baby, and I shall know Because she doesn't like she's never danced before This show is part of the Frog Pants Network Get more shows like this at frogpants.com I saw as close.
