hey we talked pre-show about your car getting fixed did you end up doing any rides to afterwards no no yesterday

as planned was all all freelance and prep for this week's coverville usually that's a Wednesday thing

but I'm planning since I was like all right I've got a soundography to record with Hammond I've got a bunch of freelance to do

I'm going to make Tuesday all that And then prep for Coverville, which is usually Wednesdays, so that I can do tons of driving today. So this afternoon, a little bit of freelance, and then I'm going to go out and probably, I don't know, probably drive into the evening and take my chances, roll the dice on the wackos that come out at night. Yeah, picking up weirdos in a Boulder bar at midnight. It probably, well, yeah, probably will be Boulder. This is move-in week for all the college students.

And so I think it's a really good week to just drive up to Boulder, then turn on the Lyft app because it's going to be, can you take me over the coffee bean? Yeah. Can you take me over with Red Robin? You take me over the lens crafters? Yeah, it'll have lens crafters. And then can you pick me up in about an hour and get my glass hour? Exactly. No, that's cool.

That's happening here as well. I don't know if Carter's in the chat, but her whole week has been swamped. they're up at the university where she works and first week there as well so kids are everywhere there's a million things going on trying to get it all wrangled poor thing needs a break she needs a break yeah um anyway that'll be fun we'll see if there's any stories that come out of that i hope there's some stories and i hope they're they're fun stories and not like oh my god you wouldn't believe what happened in my car somebody took a shit speaking of which uh yeah so something's funny happened yesterday. Van was over at the house. Taylor had actually a photo shoot at the university,

which is why he was here. And so she's up there waddling around, super pregnant, trying to get photos done. And we played with Van for a bit. I only got to see him a little bit because that was busy. But at one point, he was out there making blocks, making big, big block dinosaurs out of Duplo looking blocks, you know? Sure. He hasn't graduated on to the Lego yet. He's still doing the big fatties and he's making this big pile and it's supposed to be in long neck you know and he's going long neck pops long neck and he's pointing at it and showing me how cool it is and he's building on it he kept adding pieces to it and i kept thinking well this is going to crash buddy it's not going to last and he's three right so he's three years old and uh it gets to the the point

where it's too much and it topples over and i just figured oh no big deal he'll clean it up and start again and i'm just sort of sitting there watching how this plays out the whole think topples over and he goes well shit he says and he's three three and he's three which what that tells me is his mom or his dad have been uh you know smacking their fingers or shutting a door on their hand or uh you know dropping something in the kitchen and letting it fly oh yeah certainly not getting it from grandpa no no i never in fact i never swear around the kid uh so i know for sure it isn't me but i don't know where he got it and he said it so like matter of fact he put his hands on tips well shit yep he goes like looks at that and goes well

shit and then he gets down into it and starts building it again but you know whatever we got to do what you can to get through the day kudos to him for using it properly though right it's not just like like you know he's building is going shit chit chit chat chat chat chit chat chat chat chat but you know that it was the appropriate time and the appropriate response for uh physics did not work out the way i intended well shit yeah exactly it was a very adult use of the word yeah and uh good for him well good for him. We'll see how, we'll see how that translates to, I'm a fan of swears, you know, of any age kids using swears, as long as they use them correctly, as long as it's, you know, the right time and the right, the right context, sure. Yeah, and that's the problem. So you get him into kindergarten, wrong time, wrong context, and suddenly things all go to shit, for lack of a better word. So we'll see if that bites his mom in the butt or not, but, uh, anyway, it's certainly good.

It was still fun hanging out. Yeah. We went and splashed water on dogs and hung out for a bit, and it was great. It's always good to have him around. Pretty sure he's like the, he's my serotonin source these days. Oh, really? Yeah, I don't have any others. Like, what else is there?

Just like, you know, life's weird right now. So it's like, you'll come around. Nothing on the steam deck giving you like the serotonin. Oh, I mean, you know, your usual gaming stuff, sure. But I'm kind of immune to those things. Sure. I don't get the jolt you'd get when you were a kid on your NES. anymore but played too many of them but you know i'm finishing i finally decided to

this is so stupid i'm finally decided to go back and finish um freaking assassin's creed origins the one set in egypt uh for a few years ago and the reason i'm doing is i never quite finished it i was pretty far in it and what got me thinking about it again was i was listening to the prey music from the new movie pray the the what you call it uh the the the the the A Predator there, yeah. And the girl who wrote that soundtrack wrote all the music for the last three major releases of Assassin's Creed, and they're all really good. And that got me thinking, oh, I'm kind of in the mood for that. So then I went and put on the origin soundtrack and just listened to it all day and was like, oh, that's so good.

That makes me want to play that game. So now I'm playing that game again. Nice. On a steam deck in bed. So it's kind of nice. Totally fine. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't hurt nobody.

A quick email this morning before we get cranking on all our Wednesday bits. This is how we start that. Send and receive email. Dear Scott and Brian says Robert from Hender Tucky. Here's an interesting fact about roundabouts. We talked about the roundabouts and everyone sucks at them. I just had someone suck at one earlier today walking the dog. Oh, no, really?

They just can't figure it out. They just don't know when to stop. Like they think, well, or they stop when they're not supposed to stop or they go when they're not supposed to go. Those are the two default states for dummies. Anyway, I almost hit Rainer. It was fine in the end. But here's what this person says. Here's an interesting fact about roundabouts.

I learned from stuff you should know. The first roundabout, not to be confused with the circle drive. Okay. I don't know if I've heard of a circle drive. I haven't either. It sounds like a place to go eat or something, doesn't it? Let's go to the circle drive. Yeah, in the 50s or something.

You're going to go down to the circle drive and hang out. Anyway, he says, it failed because the rules were reversed. The cars in the circle had to yield to incoming cars. Later, they started showing up in Europe. It wasn't until 1990 that the U.S. saw its next modern roundabout, which was in Summerlin, Las Vegas. That's cool. That is cool. Also, most people here hate them as they have started making their way into neighborhoods.

I like them just fine, says Robert. Well, Robert, you probably know how to drive one. You probably know how to do the thing. It's everyone else. It's the problem. They all don't know how to freaking drive in those damn things. So a traffic circle is basically like a, well, here, let me give you this graphic that you can put on the stream. Oh, we have an image.

I like an image. It's basically a bunch of T intersections. So it's still like you come up and you stop at the T intersection. what determines Oh interesting Oh yeah I'm not sure what the difference is like What is the functional difference

Because these are all saying do the same thing Like stop here, go here Turn here Oh yeah I guess there's the on ramp off ramp business Which is a little different Yeah Not really though

Not really I mean the roundabouts are a little bit smoother You know not as harsh turns and stuff but uh so there are eight inputs outputs this has six uh sorry traffic circle has six a roundabout has eight oh you go into a roundabout you choose your correct lane before you like as you enter the roundabout as opposed to in a traffic circle you change lanes within the round or within the circle that's interesting okay okay well the one in the stuff in europe is more like that roundabout and the thing more like the roundabout yeah and the thing i'm crossing is a little closer to this traffic circle

if I'm honest. Oh, really? Okay. I mean, as far as, like, how much is going on here? I don't know. I have to go walk it again and, like, really look, but, um, interesting. Locally, a traffic circle can be found in, oh, they're talking about there locally. They're just local to, uh, Washington.

Yeah. Trying, shall traffic streams interact. I mean, it's not that different. It isn't that different. I'm trying to find the, like, what is the, what is the big difference, right? Because it's, you still come in, you enter when it's clear. There's not like red lights that deter. that determine when you come in.

Oh, there we go. Stop signs and yield signs. Well, okay. Stop signs you stop regardless if it's open or not. Yeah. Yield, you yield and look. Yeah. So really, the difference here is these have signs.

This doesn't. As best I can tell. Entering traffic must always yield to all traffic in the roundabout. It's okay to enter the traffic circle along circulating traffic, like turning right onto a multi-lane road with traffic in the left lane. Oh, I see. Okay. But that's still, the rules I'm talking about are the same in both cases, which is the whole stop and yield bit. And that's where people get hung up.

It is. Exactly. Right. And, man, the fact that the original roundabouts were the people in the circle had to yield to the people coming in. Holy crap, that feels like it's the worst design ever. It's horrendous. That's terrible. No wonder they freaking change it.

But I don't think, you know, I can't even use that as an excuse for why people get it wrong because they weren't here then. they don't know. So, I don't know, man, freaking roundabouts, f-off. Kivek says the difference is two lanes exiting. Yeah, but it's still the same principle of exiting and entering. So where you stop and where you start is still the same, just more lanes, I think, is the difference. Well, anyway, that was fun. We learned some things today.

And we're going to learn some more things because this guy's coming in here. Hey, look who it is. It's our old pal Brian Ibit joining us from South Carolina, where I'm sure there's probably a, or I say Ibit, sorry, Dahl. I meant Dunaway. Hey, Brian Dunaway. Hello, Brian Dunaway. Oh, hi. I don't know why I always do that. Hey, too many bryans. Oh, let's just let it go. It's been going on for almost a decade now. Yeah, these two bryans and the mix-ups we make, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine, Fletcher. Let's just go ahead and play.

Yeah, it's fine. Hey, do you have roundabouts where you live? Do you have to deal with that? Is that a thing? I have one rousedabout. Roused about. Oh, geez. Yeah, yeah. Okay. What does that mean? Is there a difference? Kind of like a roundabout, but just rousty. Yeah. Oh, well, it makes perfect sense then. I get it now. You enter it and then you just kind of shake the people who are already in there to make sure that they're awake, right? That's the deal? Right, right, right.

And no one knows how to use the round. There's only one that I know of that I ever go on to and no one knows how to use it. Okay. So same problem. Yeah. Yeah, but luckily it's only like, I think it's like 25 through that area. So even if you make a mistake, it's not fatal. That's true.

Unless there's dumbies. Sometimes people go through there too quick. So you end up with some A-hole at 3 a.m. But I guess I'm not there then, so it doesn't affect me. Hey, if it doesn't affect me, it's not a problem then, right? Hey, welcome back to it. Welcome back. We're going to play a game. I forgot to add the call thing. Hold on. I'm going to do that real fast.

We've got to take your calls. If you want to call and be a part of this, you've got to call the number 8014710462. You can be a contestant in today's Tad Pooley Feud. Now, oh, it is cloud covered outside, by the way, guys. I don't know how you guys are holding up. We've got like 14 days worth of rain. And so I've turned on my rain playlist of all my depressing, grungy type music. That sounds all right, though. That sounds nice. Yeah, it actually sounds just fine. Yeah. Oh, deaf tones are so good when it rains. Really? I was thinking mighty, mighty boss tones for some head. That's good, too. I can see that. Boss tones. Yeah, listen to some upbeat ska while the rain's falling down. Yeah, yeah. I listened to Ramstein this morning on my long walk with the dog.

And, yeah. Okay. I get you. I guess I get your primed. It does wake you up. I don't know if you guys have ever noticed this but nobody says uh nobody yells nine quite the way the singer for them does like that guy yells nine probably not since hitler has anyone yelled nine so loud it's just really was it was it the popular stuff or was it uh some of that uh x-rated porn stuff it was uh oh i heard about that isn't there aren't there like full music videos that are like full on like x-rated like oh stuff yes it's porn with their their their heads and stuff superimposed over it. It's awesome. I would say the name of the song. Oh, right. So it wasn't really them. I thought the whole controversy was it was them

participating like in the in the fake. Really? I didn't know that. All right. I'm being told via a quick search here while we're killing time that the uh, the freaking Google voice taking live calls is down at the moment. I don't know why. Oh no. Oh no. Uh, so. Is there a way to do this without a person? Oh, wait, maybe it's working now. Hold on. Let me see if it's working. Okay. Okay, there's a rumor or there's talk of up and down.

Oh, I think we got it. Hold on. I think we got a caller. That's fine. Oh, we're still talking about Ramanstein? No more Ramanstein. Hi, who's this? Thanks for calling.

Who's this? Well, it's been a while, Scott. Oh, my gosh. It's Ian. I am sci-fi, right? Oh, hi, Ian. Can you believe, can you believe? That's how regular you used to be.

All it took was the sound of your voice and I knew who you were. It's amazing. Well, I thank you. Yeah. It's good to talk to you, dude. Still hanging in there, doing all right these days? Hanging in there, hanging in there. Yep, been a busy summer and not looking forward to it being over.

Me neither. I like the warm weather. I'll be sad when it's gone. Anyway, well, great. We got an old favorite here, Brian. You want to explain to him how this works and what he could win? I'll do that. It's time to play the tadpooly feud.

I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers. they gave us. It's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Now, Ian, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. You don't get to choose. I choose for you. And if your team wins, you get a prize package.

That includes remothered, broken porcelain and in other waters. Both on Steam, both courtesy of Wesley. Remother's good. It's good and creepy. Remothered? Okay, good. It's like a little horror game. Yeah, it's pretty creepy. Horror. It's good stuff. In other waters, I don't know. I'm surprised.

I don't know what that is, but I've never heard of it in other waters. In other waters. Yeah, in other waters. Meanwhile, in other waters. Cool. Oh, that's currently, let's see, very positive reviews on Steam came out in 2020. Ooh, it looks cool. Nice.

Oh, this looks rad. I kind of want this, whatever this is. Oh, it looks cool. Yeah, you're an artificial intelligence guiding a stranded zino biologist through a beautiful and mysterious alien ocean. Oh, it does sound really cool. All right. I'm keeping that. I'm going to give him something else.

He's going to get... Don't it. Getting Batman Lego. Well, the good news is if anyone out there's like, hey, that sounds like my kind of game, it's currently on sale till August 22nd for $5.99 as well. So you can get real cheap. Yeah, it's usually...

Not bad. Usually $30. That's telling you how much your prizes are worth there, Ian. Good for you. Usually $15 is what it usually is. So anyway. I'm not expecting hundreds of dollars. Hell no.

Good. If you were, you were calling the wrong show. Yeah. Schenectady, you're online too. All right, let's go ahead and get to this. Hands on your buzzards, gentlemen, and tell me your answer to this. We asked 812 tadpoolers to give us their response to name an animal that shares its name with a professional sports franchise. Scat.

You said professional. professional sports franchise. I thought you said professional. I thought college for a second. I was going to say, the Detroit Lions. I don't know. Okay.

Lions, all right. Buzz is in. Give me five minutes. Give me a second. Let me, let me read. Can I make sure I understood the question directly?

All right. Show me a lion. Number nine. Number nine. Oh, hey, big points, but that doesn't mean eight answers will beat it. Brian.

So a lions, number one, name of a professional team that is, okay, so I'm going to go with dolphins. How about that? Dolphins. Show me dolphin. Number three, Brian, you've got Ian and control of the board. Yeah. Told you I'd decide. Yeah.

All right. Yeah. You guys have three points. I was going to go with another answer, Ian, but I was unsure if I asked the question, does it, include all large cats, and then, you know, I didn't want to hear no smack, so dog, obviously not a large cat. You'll get smack. If you say something even remotely weird, you'll get smack.

That's how it's right. If it, uh, if it's an animal that can be talked about multiple ways, then it's all in one. But if it's different species of the same animal, then, um, got you're up here different. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Ian. Ian, what do you got, man? Do you have, do you got, you got a guess? You got an animal, you get a local protein? Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, I've been waiting to say, duh, bears. Oh, the bears. Dab bears.

Dab bears. I thought, Brian, said, I thought Dunaway said local protein, which would work still. Protein, I know, yeah. Well, bear is protein. Show me, uh, bears. Yeah, bears, Bruins, cubs, and grizzlies all, all, uh, I did not know Bruin was a, uh, is another, another, uh, name for a bear, another word for a bear. yeah yeah the kind of the kind of i didn't know that either until i looked it up this morning the hairy

ones in idaho they're bruin's what the hell is a bruin what's a bruin what's a bruin what's the bruin anyway is brewing all right are you ready for mine or you want to go for another uh what about the bulls oh bulls is good bulls it's additional protein all right show me to bulls Well, there's a long time to get to that. Wow. Yeah. Bull number 14 on the list.

It's popular, but not as popular as the ones up above. That's not as much bull as I thought it'd be. Yeah. All right. Scott, you've got control now. Let's do the old, the old, the cardinals. Oh, sure. A cardinal.

When I was a kid, I thought they were the, I thought they were the dudes in charge and the Catholic, you know, the regional managers. But no, I want the bird here. That's right. The religions regional managers. Perfect. Show me a cardinal. Yeah.

Yeah, number six. Good stuff. You like that, do you? All right. Let's stay with the birds for a minute. And let's go Blue Jays. Oh, Blue Jays. Sure.

All right. Show me the Blue J. Poopo. number 12 on the list just outside of the top 10 That is very burtest That is birded Control back over to you

The two of you Brian and Ian Ian You have one I have two local I was just I was just gonna ask If you had anything done away

I do I'm gonna say The Panthers I like Panthers What do you think Is that okay with you? Panthers are cool Yeah back and work

They're the coolest big cat man The big old black panther Oh man sure All right, show me a panther. That's right. Number five on the list. Yeah, I figured it'd be high. It may might get some points, but not too high.

And Robbins is the points. What about the other football big cat, the Jaguars? Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Oh, that Jaguars is another too, but yeah, Jaguars are awesome. Over there in Jacksonville. Show me a Jaguar. Jaguar. Jaguar, there you go, number eight.

Look at those points. Now you've taken the lead. There it is. Now we've got a game. Four answers still on the board. What's you got? Hmm. The hawks?

Oh, hawks are good. Oh, okay. Wait, hawks, wait. Who are the hawks? What do you? What do you? What's the thing about the Hawks? The Atlanta Hawks.

Oh, Atlanta Hawks. Yeah, why does that sound wrong? Something's weird in my head on that. But yeah, that's right. That's a team. Hawk. Hawk. All right.

Show me Hawks. Hawks number 21. Yeah, what is, what are the Atlanta Hawks? They're, are they, are the Atlanta Hawks are basketball? Basketball, okay. Sounds wrong. I don't know why. You're right.

I know, it did to me too, but it was like, what is that, yeah. That's really weird. All right. I know there are other teams, but. But that's it. Let's go with, I can't only think of birds. Let's stay with birds and go, the Falcons, the Atlanta Falcons. There you go.

There's another Atlanta team right there. Show me Falcons. Damn it. Number 13 on the list. Shit. Shit. All right. I'm always thinking of what's interesting.

Burbs. Birds. Just thinking of burbs. Yeah. you know we got the I see I just keep going NFL pro teams I'm trying because it's almost it's preseason but I don't know when he asks this question I'm trying to think what was on people's minds at the time oh sure

um it was recent you know it's midsummer early summer those raiders there's plenty of the raiders are kind of animals seehawks fans get it because they're kind of jerks they're animals nothing go ahead no never mind go ahead he hawks might be good he hawks might be good I think the Seahawks are good. There's a lot of Seahawks fans.

I think it's a good one. Let's do Seahawks. Okay. All right. A little Osprey action here. Show me the Seahawks. Oh my gosh. Seahawk number 20 on the list.

All right, Scott, here's the deal. Any answer on the board will tie or win the game and take prizes away from Ian. Unless I run the board, if I run the board, he wins, though. Or run the board, yeah. I think you should choose, I think you should choose Proteins, Scott. I think that's what you're just proteins. Just proteins. Okay, well, I can get a lot of I can't believe we waited this long to do this one, but we can definitely get some

Washington humans. I know we can get some protein out of the Broncos. I don't know why we didn't say it before, but the Broncos. Oh, yeah. Show me the Broncos or horses or Colts all in the same family. Damn it, I was going to say Colts next. Okay, did we say Rams, Rams?

All right, show me them Rams. Oh, come on. Rams number 15 on the list. Yeah, there's three, yeah, three of them. It is going to be something obvious. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah, tigers slash Bengal Tigers. No, number two.

Yeah, all right. Number three, let's go up to Philly for this one. The Eagles. Oh, the Eagles. Oh, we didn't say the Eagles. Yeah, we just said the Eagles. That was all he was thinking about was birds. Yeah.

Didn't say eagle. Yeah. And a hockey team going for number 10 here. Ducks. From Pittsburgh. Oh, the penguins. Oh, we would never have cleared that. We would have never gotten penguin new.

No, I mean, maybe, but no. We didn't, obviously. Because we didn't do it. Some other ones lower on the list, Raven, of course. shark, duck, buffalo which is funny because Buffalo bills, but that's the name of the city, not the name of the team.

Raptors, Cracken, great new Seattle team. Is Cracken an animal? Yeah, well, it's a big vegetable. It's a huge squid. I mean, it's a squid, but it's not real. It's a cryptozoic creature. Yeah, yeah,

that's what I was thinking. I mean, it's like a good thing. Dragon is also on the list here. Puma, Oriole. That would also have been wrong. Wolf, Trash Panda slash Raccoon. There is a team called the Trash Pandas. Beaver's, coyotes, huskies, wildcats, wolverines, banana slugs, cougars, crickets, devil rays, or rays for short now. Links, magpies.

Who are the trash pandas? Ducks in there? Yeah, he did ducks. Trash pandas are, I have to look it up again here. Because it can't be a professional team, right? Oh, why not? Pandas? Because I've never, never heard of a professional team called. Rocket City Trash Pandas a minor league baseball team in Los Angeles. Or no, I'm sorry. A double a affiliate.

Oh. Alabama. So minor league counts as professional is what we're saying. Well, we're saying whatever the Tadpool says is what we're saying. Oh, yeah. Tadpool sometimes gets it wrong. You know the, you know the deal. Once again. I do like the people who tried to be all uppity and said, oh, here in Europe, we don't do that. I don't know any answers. Oh, I really, because I don't know, the Wolverhampton Wolves might argue with you. There's a couple other English Premier League soccer teams or football teams that probably would argue with you. So, you know.

Yeah, the worst to shy or monkeys or whatever. Card of City bluebirds probably would have something to say about that. Sure, sure. The Brentford Bs. Is that true? Is that a real team? My favorite thing is that technically the Red Bulls counts. The Red Bulls?

Oh. The Red Bulls? Yeah. That's true. Sure. Why not? Well, I'm, I'm impressed with the list. And I think this is a bummer, though, because it means that these prizes get moved down the list.

They get moved down. Just a joinked right out of Ian's hands like, like something. Like hot better. Like somebody yonking something out of somebody's hands. That's right. Like Washington commanders. Yeah, like protein out of a protein. Out of a protein shake.

There you go. Nailed it. And finally, we got to the right one. Ian, the real pleasure, though, has been ours because having you back on has been great, man. I hope you're doing good and continue to do good. And there's always a chance in the future you'll call in and win everything. You know that? That is very true.

It's going to take it all. Never forget. We'll see you soon. Bye now. All right. There he goes. Hey, Dunaway, quick change in plans happened. You and I usually do the play retro show on Tuesdays.

It got bumped because I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and they could only get me at 3.30. So we had to push it. It is now today at 330. 30 and we're still doing the top games that ever hit this Commodore 64 and we're all prep for it and ready to go you guys line up get ready it's going to be great I can't wait to talk about this ancient business

on the Commodore 64 today with my old pal Bryant ancient well pretty old it's pretty old I mean what are you when the Commodore 64 came out 1983 go how old were you I was 12 12 13 something like that it's pretty ancient I was yeah yeah I was like 9 or 10 yeah yeah that's about right it's a long time ago

is the point And we're here for it. So anyway, a lot of gamers, someone in the chat just said, ICU says, we're, or see, C-64 is my origin story. I think that's true for a lot of gamers, a lot of people. Look at that thing as like their beginnings. So be with us today as we discuss it at 3.30 Mountain Time at frogpants. And get it on the podcast version, if you want it there,

wherever you get your shows, just search for play retro. Hey, Dunaway, anything else you'd like to say before I unceremoniously murder this call and kick you off of it? Yeah. Your film sack is awesome. No, you. No, bye. That is awesome.

We're doing the third transporter this weekend. Oh, nice. Yeah. Aren't you looking forward to that, Brian? No. Because I feel like I've watched it. I've watched one and I've watched two and you put those together and you get three. And I run out of, I run out of intros when it's basically the same movie three times.

Yeah. By the math. By the math, we have basically, I mean, what have we even done to ourselves? Three of these things. It's pretty weird. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to seeing what madness we get with, you know, with him on his next adventure. Maybe we'll get some closure, you know?

The story can end. Maybe finally he'll realize that the deal can be changed. Yeah, that's true. The deal doesn't always have to be the deal, and he can change the deal. What is the deal? Uh, tomorrow or, uh, sorry, the, the one after that is the fourth one, which has a whole different guy in it and went direct a video and nobody cares about it. But I hope the faux potter. Yeah, the four porter. Yeah. And I hope four potter. The quad porter. He, we hope we never see that. I don't ever want to see it. I'll just put it out there now. Actually, you know what? Rainbow Bright's correct. We're watching US Marshals. Uh, oh shit. This coming weekend. Sorry. Yeah, that's right. So yeah, because we haven't watched it yet. We have no idea. Uh, uh, So if you're talking about U.S. Marshals, or if you're talking about the transporter, we don't care. Yeah.

Some of us are sandbagging schedules. So forgive us for our best. All right. Here comes this so we can do this. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by pretzel goldfish. Quit putting your pretzels in the fish tank and just eat pretzel goldfish. Here they are right here.

See these? Now, I didn't eat the whole thing, so don't get weird. everybody's only a little bit left, but I've had enough of these. They didn't eat the only. There's still four. I can hear them in there. Yeah. I only ate about, I don't know, I probably ate half this in the last couple of days. And I'm going to go ahead and just say, these are addicting and terrible. Don't eat these. Okay. Whatever's left in here.

Are you trying to get back up to a 40, Scott? No, no, no. I'm staying at this 36. I want to get to a 32 again. I'm working on it. I'm throwing this away right now. It's going in the trash. Everybody witness it. Here goes. No more of those. Wow. Now you're going to finish the bag? Now you're just wasting food.

What are the kids starving in other parts of the world? I'm wasting food. Think of how much those kids would love the nutrition found in a half bag of pretzel goldfish. Yeah, they're just full of them. And really, why waste my time on those when I could have those old bay ones? Those are amazing. Oh, really? I haven't had the old bay goldfish.

Yeah, those are dangerous in my vicinity. So keep those away from the police. You know, instead of bringing a bag to your desk, have a little tiny dish that you just fill with whatever snack, peanuts or goldfish or whatever, and have that at your desk. Well, that sounds way too smart. Just do that. Yeah.

Too thoughtful. Too much thinking involved. Says the guy who's still at a 38 when you're a 36 heading towards 32? I don't know when it happened, but suddenly my 40s got baggy, my 38's got baggy, and I just suddenly I was in a 36. So then I went and tried a 32 just for jokes. and it was like that I put it up on Twitter but I was like that episode of Seinfeld

where he can't get his pants off so there's that not the episode of Friends where Ross has grease all over himself Oh yeah where he has to Chris go himself up to get the leather pants on Otherwise known of the best episode of Friends All right

Let's do these stories here We've got a bit of news to cover Yeah DefCon Hacker They had DefCon They did over there in Vegas Worst time of the year to go to Las Vegas is during DefCon

because you've got to like shut your phone off when you're not using it, turn off any sort of RFID, leave your credit cards in the hotel room. There's a sense that you are never quite free of hackery if you're there right now. Yeah, yeah. So be careful. Anyway, DefCon Hacker,

but this is really what they spent their time on. They showed John Deere Tractors running Doom. Nice. Yeah. I love it. I love when devices that have no right to do it, play Doom. Right, exactly. Like, yeah, the weirdest things that can run Doom.

Yep. Some people have gotten it on a Roomba. That was a popular video, not far back. Some people got it running on a single LED keyboard key. You know, those keyboards that are all LEDs and you get on a single key. Remember, those were going to be so huge. Those, the keyboards, somebody was coming out with ones that, like, changed the entire keyboard, not like a stream deck, but it was like an entire.

Yeah, you could customize all the keys to be whatever you wanted. Customize every key. I think they're still popular. They're just expensive as shit. I wanted one of those, but man, they were so expensive. Yeah, they still are. The OLED ones are really rad, but that's what somebody did. They basically programmed one of those keys to run Doom.

Pretty great. But you can now add John Deere tractors to the list. Security researcher, Sick Codes. His name is Sick Codes. Sick codes. Yeah, nice. I worked with a Doom modder, Skellagant, to get the game running on a John Deer tractor display. showed off some gameplay at the DefCon Hacking Conference in Vegas.

This reminds me, just a real quick, doom aside. Sure. I know it is John Romero, co-creator of Doom and co-founder of Id Software back in the day. He posted something today that got me real excited. I'm going to try this out later. But somebody modded Doom, actual Doom, but modded it, so that all the creatures and stuff you shoot and objects in the world

are 3D voxels. So imagine little tiny cubes You could argue You could say that Minecraft is voxels That's true, but they're large, right? Voxal games I really get into Like tear down, there's a few others

They have little bitty boxes that make up everything And that's what they did They basically converted Doom into a game like that And when you blow up like a demon They explode in these boxes It's freaking rad. I can't wait to play it later. That's really cool.

Yeah, anyway, that's out there If you guys want to see it. Anyway, the video posted by Sick, codes you can see how the game plays as a sort of transparent overlay on top of john deer their user interface thing that they got on a lot of their tractors code says the whole process took months of involving jailbreaking the linux system used by the john deer 4240 tractor they are famous by the way for locking that shit down they don't john deer's weird they don't want people modifying their tractors at all really like they're i guess he could imagine

that they're super protective of it sure it's a huge it's it's for a while they're was at the center of what do you actually own? Like, you know, you buy an iPad. Should you be able to jailbreak it, mess with it, dork with it? Absolutely, you should. You freaking bought it. It's yours. But there have been legal fights up the wazoo regarding John Deere tractors

and how much an owner can change. Even if they buy this, let's say, $40,000 tractor, they don't really own it in this weird way, in this software way. There's still a bunch of stuff about that you can look up. Anyway, let's see here. this version of Doom was naturally, had naturally been modified to take place in a cornfield where the player mows down enemies on a tractor. That's pretty cool except, I don't know, you should just start with level one and go.

You know, just play Doom. You don't have to make a custom level. We get it. It's on a tractor. Right, yeah, just use regular Doom. Yeah. Unless, you know, you're putting, yeah, there you go, like cows and like he's doing. I guess that's kind of fun.

Can I want to play that? Can I play that one? Yes. With Doom and the right mod tools. Without a John Deere, though. I want to play the cornfield. Oh, you probably can, I'm sure. Make that available.

They're just mods. Like reverse-engineerate. We've gotten the cornfield doom working on a Macintosh. Yeah, they're just custom levels and mods, so yeah, it'd be easy, actually. Yeah. You could run it on anything. I want that. The real thing here is what they actually did.

So this is all a bit of a cover. Because, again, the controversy about John Deere is they're not letting you hack their stuff or they're super weird about it. The whole point of this was to show a bunch of, vulnerabilities in their system so that they could do something as silly as run doom on it. So the whole thing here isn't, oh, hey, you can run doom on a tractor. The whole thing is here, hey, we hacked their thing and ha-ha-ha. It can hack a thing that people don't want to have hacked.

Yeah, and then also we're playing Doom on it, which is just, you know, icing on the cake. It could just as easily be snake or, uh, pretty crazy. Candy Crush or something like that. Uh, vegans or a vegan traveler, vegan travelers is a great album. Can you run to do them on a vegan? Oh, man. I sure like to try. Vegan Traveler does sound like a band or an album, doesn't it?

A little bit. Oh, it totally does. Vegan Travelers, like Blues Traveler. Yeah, but with vegans. A very skinny harmonica playing lead singer. Actually, that Papa guy is all skinny now. Maybe he is a vegan traveler. Is he maintained it?

I haven't looked at John Popper recently. Oh, I don't know. I hope so. He looked like, he reminded me a pen from Penn and Teller for a while there where it was like Penn was big and then he was really thin. Yeah. And they kind of looked the same. Well, yeah, John Popper is still skinny and showed up at the 64th annual Grammy Awards looking like this.

In our Discord, you will find a photo of a completely unrecognizable John Popper as the Six Flags Dancing Grandpa. Yeah. do do do do do do do do he's uh he's he i remember um my first visual of of him was not a music video but was the kingpin yeah kingpin yeah that's when i saw him for the first time and he was a roly polly then he was a roly pulley then he was a roly polly umish dude man kingpin's so good you know what it is it's uh it's one of those uh like forgotten fairly brothers things because you know something about mary was so huge and and uh but i think kingpin i think it's the best fairly brother's movie like they're all fine oh yeah there's not one i like better i like that one

the best i can't think of another one like i like dumb and dumber i like freaking uh the one with uh two halves uh matt damon slash what's his name it's fine stuck on you or what was it uh it was all right it wasn't the worst yeah shallow hal osmosis jones yeah osmosis jones yeah osmosis Jones is great. Love that movie. But, um, why is Green Book listed, uh, when I Google Farley Brothers movies? Green Book is not a Farley Brothers movie. I don't think so. Not that I'm aware of. Brothers movie. Green Book.

I think that is a, that is a mistake. I don't think that's correct at all. Um, wait, did he do, oh, fever pitch was them? No way. That was the, uh, yeah, it was. Uh, the, the one based on the Nick Hornsby, uh, Novel. Yeah, Drew Barrymore, Jamie Fallon. Paul Pass. Uh, no, Peter Farrely was the director of Greenbuck. Really?

Yes. Are you serious? I am serious. That was like a big Oscar-e deal. It was, yeah. I guess that's when you have the two of them together, you get the, uh, the zaniness. It's Bobby, it's Bobby and Peter together that, that, uh, absolutely wild. Is that crazy?

From the director of Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin. Here's a movie about racial treatment in 1950s. That is absolutely wild. He's got a new movie this year called The Greatest Beer Run Ever with Zach Efron, Russell Crow, and Bill Murray. Okay. I don't know if this is comedy. Amazing in Kingpin, by the way.

So I think Peter barely just... Yeah, I need to watch Kingpin again. You know what? I think I might be coming around that that is... Because I'm looking at the list. Dumb and Dumber's great. There's something about Mary's great, but there's... something about kingpin that um oh yeah kingpin rules dude and it's and it's more than just

vanessa angel but uh it's it's the fact that randy quade gets to be is is uh quade oh he's he's at maximum quade yeah oh maybe we need to watch uh kingpin for a uh couch uh party i think it's too tough to do it for film sec but a couch party kingpin might be i would do that in a heartbeat let's do it i just found some trivia about that the other day uh i don't where I saw it, but there was a scene where Bill Murray inexplicably gets three strikes in a row in the bowling, yeah, and he did that

in, it happened in real time by accident, yeah, and all the, and the crowd they had in there for the extras, their exuberance and clapping was real. Like, they were like, whoa, no way, did it third time. Like, that was a cool thing to see. That's a great movie. It is streaming currently on Prime video. We could totally, we could totally

do Kingpin for for Couch Party. Let's do it. Let's lock it in. Lock it in. It's locked. Consider locked. Is it locked? All right.

An hour and 54 minutes of, uh, of single-handed Woody Harrelsons and, uh, freezer burned Vanessa Angels and, uh, and Randy Quaid milking horses in the wrong way. Yeah,

on the, the penis milk or whatever. And, uh, and a woman in a rear view mirror going, uh, yeah, a la la la,

yeah, yeah, a, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep. I always thought it was chloros leachman.

It's not. It's not. It definitely is not. No. It's a lot like her, though. Anyway, a vegan traveler says Air Canada served for a water bottle, napkin as a meal. Or a water bottle and a napkin as a meal. There was the story I was never getting to. He took a lot of time to get to it.

Really, all right. Here's your meal. Yep. Water. Here's some water and here's a napkin. Oh, you're vegan? Oh, here you go. Yeah. Pretty much that's how it went. It says here, Canadian traveler that was coming from Frank Furt, Germany,

home of the Frank Furtter. I don't know if that's true. To Toronto, home of the Jays. With Air Canada says other passengers on the flight were handed their hot meals. She just sat there with a bottle of water and her vegan meal never arrived. Miriam Porter, also known on TikTok, as the kind traveler. Oh. Posted a video last month on her 10-hour flight showing the meal, quote-unquote,

meal she was offered, a small bottle of water in a napkin. As of Tuesday, the video had garnered over 130. 33,000 likes on TikTok, which is probably a few million views. Porter told the Daily Hive that because her flight had been delayed several times, she ordered and confirmed her vegan meal three times. However, the meal did not arrive. The vegan meals did not make the flight, I was told, and there was nothing they could do. Porter reached out to several flight attendants,

one until one of ten, it was able to bring her an apple and a banana and a dinner roll and a granola bar from business class. I was very grateful. Our question on the dinner roll, dinner roll is usually made with eggs? Good question. Bread, you know, I feel like a dinner roll is not going to be vegan.

No, plus aren't bananas made of apes? Just kidding. That's not true. Yeah, you don't, I don't think that roll counts. Yeah, and a granola bar, I'd even like say, well, probably. Oh, does yeast not count because it's living? Yeast is a live culture?

type? Oh, it is, right. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. The, uh, Claire, vegans, uh, can't do the yeast. Huh. Is Claire currently a vegan? Claire is, uh, currently a vegan. Don't they strain all gin through animal guts? Isn't that how they get in? Uh, I don't know how you all do it. If sake, I can, have sick, I can eat bread. I can eat bread. It's okay to eat it. I mean, you guys, look, you've all got your, like, your limits and your, and your let goes and stuff. I get it. It's fine. I don't, listen. I don't police anybody about what they eat ever. So if a vegan says they're vegan, I don't go, What about the bread roll?

Yeah, right. I don't care. I let them choose whatever they're eating. Exactly. Yeah, but you freaking want. I should only scrutinize what I eat, which is half a bag of pretzel goldfish. So, you know, there's that.

All right. Final story. It's a quick one. Squirrels are spluting all over New York City. So funny this came up. just talking about this last weekend at the meetup, the cider meetup. Yeah, well, this is what they're doing. If you see a squirrel lying down, don't worry, it's just fine.

On hot days, squirrels keep cool by spluting or stretching out. And for those at home, we're going, where did they ejaculate all over the city? That's not, but this is. That's splooging. Come on, now. Get your geez. A whole different, the squirrel sploge is a whole different thing. Absolutely.

Yeah, it's specifically the kind of lying down where they're on their stomachs with their legs splayed out behind them. Yeah. When they kind of look dead, cats sometimes do this. I've seen dogs do this. Yeah, Daisy does this all. It used to do this all the time. Yeah.

It's adorable. Yeah, our new little rat dog, Morira, she does this. If it's really hot, she'll do it on like cold tile. So, yeah, this is a lot of, there's many mammals do it. Yeah. But this one is mine.

Anyway. And they're doing it all over Scott's couch cushions. They're doing it all over my couch cushions with their wieners out and, I freaking hate that. many mammals have less fur on their bellies compared to the rest of their body so on hot days the animal lie flat on their stomach against cooler surfaces such as rocks or cooler ground to shed some of the heat and keep cool right now more than ever because we're having heat waves so you know what is good though so like there was a bunch of monsoon weather in Nevada and that ended up adding a bunch of water back to Lake Mead so that was a good sign oh did it finally cover up some of those bodies well right before it did right before they got dumped on they found another body. I keep waiting for D.B. Cooper to float up. Can we have any sign of D.B. Cooper?

No kidding. It'd have to be, uh, he's got to be somewhere around this area. Like in the West somewhere, right? Somewhere, yeah. I mean, there's a whole documentary on Netflix that just dropped. I kind of want to see it. Oh, really about D.B. Cooper? Yeah, supposedly somewhat definitive as to who the dude is and where he's at now and he's

still alive sort of thing. Yeah, I don't know. That's what they say. Floating on a bed of money. Yeah, a bet of money at the bottom of Lake Mead. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt will be here. Missed him last week, so it'll be great to catch up on what's going on with the Tom Merritt.

A little tech time with him. And then after that, recommendals with our two pals, Nicole and Randy. That's all coming up after this break that Brian has to separate by creating a song for her. So what do you got? Yeah, this is a really good song. It's a little bit of a sad song when you listen to the lyrics, but it's really cleverly written and presented. This is by Donovan Woods and Natalie Taylor. The song is called Hang On to Me, and it chronicles the breakdown of a relationship.

And it's, you know, usually you've got the songs that are post-breakup, right? This is like, like, it's happening. Anyway, the song's called, Hold On to Me. Brand new single from Canadian singer-songwriter Donovan Woods and American singer-songwriter Natalie Taylor. That's the problem. It's the border. That's what broke these two up. Let's get to it right now.

The new brand new single, Natalie Taylor, Donovan Woods. I heard the door before I saw you, and I had dreamed of that. You sent my name, and I remembered how your voice sounds. I can't forget the way you looked at me, and I was scared by that. That's when I felt you were slipping away. When I close my eyes, pray hoping someone hears me, I've got nothing left, and heaven knows that someone last year's. Hang on to me for as long as you can pull me in, pull me in.

Hang on to me for as long as you can pull me in, pull me in. Nobody knows me like you know me, darling. Maybe I'm scared by that. But now I'm standing in your door, and I know it's been a long time. I'm trying to stop, but I keep staring at you, and you're staring right back. I know we both tried to run, but it's right, and I'm right here, and I close my eyes, pray, hoping someone hears me. I got nothing left, and heaven knows it's on one last chance. as long as you can pull me in, pull me in. Hang on to me for as long as you can pull me in, pull me.

Never thought you lost your crill. Never thought you let me slip away. Away We fight so hard to have One more chance for this Don't lose your grief Hang on to me For as long as you can

Pull me in, pull me in, pull me I'll hang on it for as long as I keep Pull me in, pull me in Pull me in Pull me in I think we should start seeing other people Ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha. Huh?

Lebedia. The morning stream. Always check your candy. All right, we've returned. Please tell me again who that was. Sure. That is Natalie Taylor and Donovan Woods. The song is called Hang On to Me and it's brand new.

Nice. I like brand new things. noise big fan maybe when they're brand new i like you exactly when they have that brand new song smell it's the best you try and get the sprays that simulate the brand new song smell but uh yeah it's hard to replicate yeah it's like that new car smell just can't get it until the car's new all right here with the computer as with any tool the concept and direction must come from the man that man is tom merritt and even though we missed him last week i feel like today day is our day to just get caught up, you know? Just feel that feeling again, right? It's that

new tech pundit smell. That new tech pundit smell. What does that smell like, Tom? Give me an idea. A little bit like plastic. Yeah, a little bit like styrofoam. Burning thermal grease, that sort of burning, probably a little bit. Just a hint, yeah, a hint of burning thermal grease. I won't tell you what we called that when I worked for a company. Anyway, hey, it's good to have you back. We hope that my understanding is that experiment week went really well, by the way. Yes, it did. Thank you. Yeah.

Honestly, when you tried to ring me last week, if I hadn't been about to order an English muffin, I probably would have picked up, but I felt that might have been rude. It might have been rude. Did you specifically request the nooks and crannies, or were those provided automatically for you?

They're provided, yeah, they're thrown in. You don't even have to ask. This was in an English muffin place that apparently Oprah recommends. Oh. Well, then by all means. You get an English muffin. You get an English muffin.

I had to pay for it, though. You know what? I don't know if I've ever had a proper English muffin anywhere other than McDonald's. Like, I don't think I've ever done that. So now... Outside of just buying one of the grocery store and bringing it home. Yeah, yeah. Outside of like grocery ones and making it.

But like, I'm sure there's probably some pretty good stuff out there. I just never... It was a great bakery and the English muffin was very good. I found their bread to be even better. Better bread. Well, Oprah loves bread. Well, as a result, though, Tom, away and they had this fantastic week they called. Yes, an experiment week was fantastic. Thanks to everybody

who tried out shows. If you haven't gone and listened, go back and listen to last week's episodes of Daily Tech News show for a veritable banquet of different types of show ideas. We did this last August and it ended up launching the Tech John and barbecue in tech. And so this year Charlotte Henry gave it a go, Nicole Lee, Willie Scott, Brian Hoffman. And Rob Dunwood and Rod Simmons even jumped in and covered the Samsung announcement, which Samsung rudely scheduled right in the middle of our experiment week. Oops. They do that, don't they? I hate that. Didn't love that. But yeah, so go check that out at Daily Tech News Show.com.

If you haven't, there's some great stuff. Awesome. Well, as a result, you're back this week with all new stories and all that stuff. Tell us what you're gathering today so we know what to look forward to. So you know we've talked about the chip shortage a lot, right? Certainly have, yes. Now, where do you think you, most of you heard about that first? Probably us, right? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. We've been covering it since early in 2020 talking about, hey, there seems to be a little chip shortage. Well, let me introduce you to the chip glut. Oh, it's gone the other way. It hasn't yet. Hasn't yet. But the signs are starting to point that way. There's a bunch of stuff happening along the lines of. this. A guy named King wrote up a good story for this for Reuters. Or I'm sorry, for Bloomberg.

Apologies, Mr. King. Nvidia reported more than 40% decline in its core business. Micron warned a falling demand. China's government data for its semiconductor industry, which let's face it, powers most of the world semiconductor production. 17% decline in output in July. More along those lines and another signal, this was in Reuters, they pointed out that Google, Microsoft, and Amazon all pointed to slower growth in data centers, in cloud computing. If that trend continues, that could slow the build out of data centers, which would, and data centers are a huge buyer of chips. So we are, we are headed to what some of the industry analysts call a,

an inventory mess. That's not the industry term, but, you know, the buildup of inventory is happening, and companies are starting to wonder if maybe they over-invested in building up inventory to try to meet this chip shortage, right as inflation and possible recession and all of that starts to slow down demand. Yeah, doesn't that, I mean, didn't we sort of, I mean, it is supply and demand illustrated in real time, right? Like, we're just, now we're caught up or we're getting caught up, and maybe they, maybe they over-forecasted for what the catch-up means, and now we're just going to experience that

for a while. It'll be really cheaper, much cheaper for people to get things. It'll be good for us for a while, right? Yeah. So, you know, in some ways. The way this usually works, because chip supply lines aren't particularly reactive. Every once in a while, there isn't what they call an inventory correction. This last happened in 2019. When production got a little bit ahead of demand, because it's not a precise science. And what usually happens is prices fall and the customers go, ooh, cheap RAM, I'm going to build a PC or I'm going to buy a new computer because the prices went down. And then that boost demand back up. And like you say, supply and demand rectifies it. The question is, in the current economic climate, if those same factors are going to play as well.

Oh, interesting. So if somebody in the chat suggested that this could create an outdated chip problem. Like, in other words, because there's a glut, now you're stuck with a bunch of inventory that will soon be obsoleted by the next generation of whatever will replace them. But I feel like... It's not usually that big of a glut. Yeah, and I also feel like if it's going to happen, that's

happening now is better than, say, 10 years ago when you had such exponential change happening. Every generation of chips and stuff were just like, whoa, way better than last years. I feel like we're kind of like at the top of a curve a little bit. I mean, we'll never be fully there, but you know what I mean?

like, it's not as bad. You'll be able to sell that stuff. That's not how it works either, right? Oh, good. I don't know that there has ever been a situation where companies were like, ah, we lost a lot of money because these chips were too outdated to be used anywhere. If you recall, the problem with automakers was that they couldn't get the older chips made in large enough numbers because they use these outdated. They're not outdated, but they're older. They're older generation chips in things like display units and stuff like that.

So there's always a way to sell those chips. I wouldn't worry that these invent, you know, it's not like apples. They're going to go bad. It's more of a fact that they're going to have to reduce the prices in order to move them. Do you think anyone will hear chip shortage and rush to the grocery store and buy all the lays they can get in the handling? I think that'll happen everybody. I hope they do. Wouldn't be shocked.

Yeah, that's unfortunate. Why do you hope they do? I don't know. Brian, yeah, why do you hope they do? Why do you hope they go in? Because it'll be fun to laugh at them. Oh. Entertainment value.

That's the point. I thought you're going to say because it's an evil mind. I thought you're going to say because they wouldn't be there and then you wouldn't be tempted by them because that's why I need that in my life. Because I have stock in Friedo Le. Oh. I had to disclose.

Good job. You've got it out of me. Thanks a lot. Yeah. No worries. They'll share. Yeah, I was like, because then the price of Lay's potato chips goes up and my chili limon will cost more.

I don't know. Oh, yeah. You're a chili limon guy, are you? Chili lemon. That's salt and vinegar for me. It may kill me one day, but I sure love those. That'll preserve you. Yeah, that's what it'll do.

That's my new excuse. Scott, he's full of salt and vinegar. That's right. I've always said so. Well, today we'll talk about this and other stories, of course, full of tech news on the Daily Tech News show. I'll be on there because it's Wednesday, and I'm excited to be back.

Anything else you want to talk about or promote? Yeah, well, as I mentioned, Experiment Week at Daily Technewshow.com, go check that out. And as I've been telling you, it took a week off from the old substack, but it's back. Just published a story on the Substack about channel stores and how that's kind of the next big wave for cord cutting services.

And I will have a chip shortage story going up shortly after I finish talking to you. So check that out at TechTom at Substack.com. Like TechTime, but Tech Tom. There you go. Go check it out. It's Tom Merritt, everybody. And if you want to follow him on Twitter, he's a good follow. Ace Detect.

Yeah. Are they, though? They're okay. Are they? They're all right. Beh. Doodleoo-doo. Hey, look what it is.

is time for recommendals where we scour the world for cool stuff to watch on streaming services and then we all sit around and make our recommendations joining us randy jordan and Nicole spagnola hello you too good morning morning straight good morning good morning ready good good morning hey uh somewhat subdued randy intro that's uh very quiet well yeah because i don't want to i don't want to like shock Nicole oh good yes don't wake it up give me my coffee yeah give me my i have my two cups hey Cole, no more flooding, right? You're good? You're okay over there? All's good. So far. I don't want to jinx it.

Yeah. Isn't it interesting that we're having a no hurricane season because of like weather and northern Africa? So like the country is like, okay, we'll just have flooding everywhere. Yeah. Flooding in Phoenix and everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, we'll have rivers in Phoenix. Freaking, the stuff that happened, I think it was just... Cats, let me go. The rivers in Phoenix. The rivers, oh, nicely done, Brian. Good catch.

Yeah, thank you. Over there in Vegas, they had the weirdest freaking river thing. A monsoon there. And they had the right under, where we were all standing underneath the high roller was just a river the other day. It was, yeah, with the trash and stuff floating in it. Oh, I don't want to know what else was floating in there. It was gross, man. It was really gross.

Dushing of Vegas happened right before our eyes. Yes, Nicole. Speaking of River, Phoenix, I saw. a tweet go out showing Stand By Me's anniversary. Oh. How many years? 30 years probably or something?

35? 35? I can't. It's an anniversary. That movie holds a hell up. So we get another round of Will Wheaton talking about his memories, his memoirs.

Yeah, that's right. We actually used real leeches. Wait, was that? Oh, that is the leech movie. I'm thinking of something else. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's the leach movie. Yeah.

What's the one where they all barf on a ride? is that um that's well they have the pumpkin or the i'm sorry the blueberry pie eating contest is told as a flashback oh you know what i'm thinking of i'm thinking of uh the the baseball one um uh little kids no sandlot sandlot they all don't doesn't the sandlot they all get on they all get on a bride and then barf after all right now i got it worked out right uh anyway uh well uh yeah so good happy birthday to that movie that's still things still holds up it's great movie and uh you should all watch it. All right. Let's let's get to Oh, did you guys know? I'm sorry, just speaking

of that, Keanu, or not Keanu Reeves, uh, Kiefer Sutherland is in that, right? He plays the bully. Um, I didn't know he had a twin sister. Do you guys know that? No. I saw it the other day. I was like, what? He has a twin. And she looks like him and a wig. I wish he looked like her in a wig, but it's the other way around. It's

really crazy. I thought it was a joke at first. I looked it up. No, sure enough. That's her. Anyway, her name's now everybody is looking oh she does why did she get a normal name like she should have had a name like like speakler or something you know what i mean like she can both smile and frown at the same she looks like one of those uh comedy drama mask pairs yeah except it's the same face somehow the same exact freaking time it is yeah how do you look at twin babies and say we're going to name one of you a name that everyone will have ever heard before and say to the other one, you're Kiefer, you're unique in the world. What's her name? What's her name? I'm trying to find her name because all I can find is Rachel. It's just Rachel.

You're not wrong. That's very odd. All right. Yeah, but his half-brothers are Roge, Rogue, Rosif, and Angus. Yeah. So she just lucked out, basically. Like, uh, Rachel. Cool. Well, she seems very nice. Oh, and they have a bunch of half-brothers. So, you know, Donald getting it, getting it, uh, spread around. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he puts, he finds a woman he like and he goes, it's a visual, just a visual, just for the visual listeners. But for those who weren't looking, you could see it in your mind's eye. Yeah, Google, Google, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. And you'll see how Donald Sutherland picks his brides. I thought you're going to say David Lee Roth for some reason. All right, moving on. Aha!

Yeah. All right, let's get into it. We're going to do these a little bit out of order. I like to do that on this stuff. So here's our order today. We're going to go, Brian. We always start with Brian. And then after that, we're going to, I can't find it.

There it is. We're going to do Nicole, then me, then Randy. So, Brian, you start us off. Here's your clip. Okay. I'm going to set it up. Yeah. You're about to hear two admen, Sam and Tim, who are pitching a guy who's had his billboards defaced all around town.

And this is, they're trying to pitch him to work with them. All right, here we go. You know, I really, I hate to waste your time, but I'm really not looking to do more advertising right now. Yeah, I'm so sorry. Yeah, no, no worries, I hear that. Okay, that gives me a certain amount of relief. Thank you.

Jack, you're known all over town as the guy with a dick in his mouth. Whoa. Well, it's not just dicks. No, it's not. I've seen boobs. Yes. I've seen poop. I have two.

I've seen a butt-pooping boobs. Yep. I've seen Andre the Giant. I've seen that. Don't get it, but I've seen it. And let's not forget about the speech bubbles. Yep, yep. I'm hungry for turds.

That's right by my church. I'm thirsty for dongs. Feed me weeners. Do you think it's just one guy? No, Jack. But we at Crammeling Duvay can put an end to all that nonsense by rebranding you in a teller. To be honest, the billboards don't really bother me. Okay? I actually, I think they're kind of funny. You know what I mean? Young man, I know what you're doing. You're busted. Yeah, that's great. You're using forced perspective to make it look like I'm fillating that breadstick. Grow up. Grow up. Oh, and there we go. Dinner roll balls. Dinner roll balls. Really original. You know what? I am tired of this. Sign me up. Let's do this. All right.

I have no idea. You're telling me with this. What is this? We were talking a couple weeks ago about pallet cleanser TV shows, right? We're like, you know, you just get done watching an episode, A Better Call Saul. You need something, some comedy, something to kind of lighten things up. This is a TV show called Detroiters. By the way, nothing says clear your palate after talking about eating a turd than a show.

Or dinner roll balls. Yes, exactly. But, yeah, this. This is a comedy that was originally on Comedy Central. You can find it now on Paramount Plus, two seasons, and it stars Sam Richardson, who you remember from Veep, and he was also in that after-party show. Super, super funny. And then Tim Robinson, who's recently kind of become a big thing with a sketch comedy show on Netflix, you see this guy, and immediately kind of like, oh, yeah, I've seen that guy. He's got a very recognizable look to him.

This is, this was recommended by a friend of mine, the real Chris Brown, who suggested this. And I'm glad he did, because it's kind of like madmen, but with two kind of inept, inept pitchmen, ad men, who are somehow able to make things work. The other voice you're hearing in that clip, by the way, was indeed Keegan Michael Key. A lot of great guest stars on this show, Kevin Nash, Chris Red, Cecily Strong, Michael Chey from SNL, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Tim Meadows, and other S&Ler.

It is really, really funny, and it is a great palette cleanser for watching something heavy. Nice little 30 minutes of this or a couple episodes will make you forget all about all those horrible, horrible things you saw on that AMC TV show that ended this last Monday. Ah, well. I wouldn't call that a spoiler, but interesting.

No, it's not. It's not because I'm making, yeah, I'm not saying anything other way. Things break bad, maybe. Yeah, I still haven't seen it. Yeah, Detroiters. Any questions? Detroiters, Detroiters. Is it, how old is this?

Did you say? It's 2017 and ran for two seasons. So fairly recent. And I had never heard of it until CB recommended it to me. And I'm surprised because it's produced, as you might guess, by Lauren Michael's having all those S&Lers in there. Jason Sudecass is another co-producer on this thing. And I guess it just wasn't, you know, it didn't get a, didn't get great critical or didn't get attention while it was out, but it's gotten 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, average rating of 7 out

of 10, Metacritic 75 out of 100. So it's, you know, it's popular. It's received well now, but it just wasn't, didn't get any attention. And I realize in our time of content glut, it's actually easy to miss these things. It really is. I'd never heard of this. I thought I'd just kind of, uh, never even heard of it. Yeah. Yeah.

Sounds good though. But Sam Richardson just does, Sam Richardson can't buy exposure. That guy is just, he does these amazing things and nothing. No one knows who he is. I know. He is so, and he was so good on Veep. Like they gave him some of the funniest lines on Veep. And he's, he's just as funny, if not funny.

year on this. And again, I'll say it if you have not checked out the after party, the little whodunit thing that came out beginning of this year, end of last year, that's got another stellar cast. Tiffany Haddish and was a

not Rufio. What was the Ralphio from Parks and Recreation, the brother? Oh, John Ralphio. Yeah, Jean Ralphio. A voice of he's a voice of Sonic. I can't think of his name. Yeah, that guy.

Anyway. that guy he's also in that so after party I'm giving another recommendation recommendal to after party if you still haven't watched it watch that but also uh watch uh Detroiters Ben Schwartz is Detroiters is Detroiters like uh little little stories is it vignettes is it is this like no it's not like a story like every episode is its own story um yeah you know there's not really there's not really a through line that you have to follow so you can pick up and and watch an episode

hear an episode there and not feel like, oh, yeah, what's the deal with the cigarette smoking man in the background? Yeah, none of that. It's, you know, everything's self-contained. Yep. Well, sounds good. It is now on my list of things to see. I've watched somebody. Ben Schwartz, by the way, as the guy I was trying to think of. Yeah, Ben Schwartz. Who, Nicole, what did you recommend last week? Remind me? The Lost City. Um, with the Leach is on Chatham, Tanning Chatham. tanning chanem i almost watched that we can't kim and i came this close we ended up watching uh brian's recommendal the northman instead oh very different two very very different yeah and speaking speaking of like we needing a chaser we almost watched it after because we're like man we need to

watch something kind of fun after that yeah because i really liked the northman but it was like we don't go to bed but it was so late we were so tired we're like ah we're not watching the other one anyway that's on the list this week so uh thank you for that and then randy i watched yours what was yours um hell if i know oh jean the lake no that was that was in the last month i have recommended the lake ago i don't remember what last week's was for annie but i watched it whatever it was and i really liked it but my must not have loved it because i'm looking it up last week i was i was recommending lower decks last week oh no no no no that's what it was i queued that up i didn't watch i guess i just watched the northman oh i almost press buttons on all of your recommendal but then i watch

something else. I could have sworn I watched something that Brandy recommended, but I guess I just watched Bryans. Anyway, all right, Nicole, let's do you second. I got a clip for you here. What's your setup for this? So, I don't know what it is about me being on the show

that Ava somehow senses it because she just is like, Mom! Mom! Can I have Cheetos? Yes, whatever you want to leave me on. Have all the Cheetos you want. She is upstairs.

eating Cheetos right now. She knows. She knows when she can, what the right time is to hit you up for snacks. It totally knows. All right. And speaking of Ava, my recommendal comes from Ava.

We are in an area that doesn't think we don't have the best internet. Oh, it's okay. So we started doing this thing where we go to Best Buy and we actually pick out a physical DVD for a movie night. So Matteo picked out Bob's Burger movie and this is the movie that

Ava picked out for the cover she picked it slowly on the cover and it turned out to be an amazing, wonderful movie it is streaming I believe on HBO right now I'll double check that. All right

DVD HBO and all of it so get physical. I just found it on Netflix. Oh Netflix as well Oh is it on Netflix? Maybe both let's play it. Oh it's on Amazon Oh Jesus it's frequent and everywhere. All right. It's everywhere. Well, here it is. I'm guessing this is animated. I actually know that because I made the clip from the thing that's anime. Check it out, everybody. Some anime.

Don't you think your mom would want you to be happy? Suu! Come be in the picture with us. Happy? But how? Welcome to the world of you. You may not be able to start over in the real world, but you can't start over in the world of you. With its unique body sharing technology, you were able to draw out of user's hidden strength. I can finally sing again. Oh, man.

Okay. Wow. Before you tell me the name, how many things are in this? Quite few. Quite a few, okay. It's teenage girls. So this movie is called Bell, B-E-L-L-E. And it is a anime movie about a young girl that watches, you learn this early on.

She watches her mother die. And she loses her voice, singing voice. She doesn't sing. And now she's like a teenager and you're following her through her kind of mundane life. and one of her friends and she's really depressed and very, she's struggling a lot and a friend of hers introduces

her to this online world called you and the difference between this virtual world and kind of what we know is it actually lines up you don't pick your avatar it picks it for you and this world is

limitless and you can be anything you want And so you follow her journey through this world as she finds her voice. There is some singing, beautiful singing. It fits really well into the movie. And Ava and Mateo both loved it. I loved it. It's wonderful.

I won't tell you anymore. But there's a whole. I don't know why I haven't heard of this. It looks very studio Jibli sort of what's his name? Miyazaki kind of Miyazaki kind of Miyazaki kind of Miyazaki vein of I don't know some anime I am not

I am not an anime connoisseur so I have I have nothing really to compare it to I am coming in very uh

pain I guess I don't know coming in cold coming in cold coming in cold I don't know yeah I don't know much about

anime but I loved this and there is another movie called Velb it's not that one that's a live action one The guy here is Mamoru Hosodo. Hosoda. Sorry,

Mamoru Hosoda. That's our director in this? Yeah. Fairly young among anime directors. From what I understand, he does, he's done his past movie. He's very interested in the virtual world. Like, his past movies are everything to do with the virtual world. And this is one of those.

Okay. His latest. But I love. the journey like even like if you can watch this on a big screen because when you go into this virtual world it is the contrast between her real life it's very flat but when you actually go into the world it's just it's beautiful it's so well done it's it was a really uh awesome movie sounds sounds charming and nice and it's uh maybe maybe eva's got a real talent for picking random stuff, that's awesome.

She's really good at picking the cover. The girl, she has pink hair. She's like, ooh, pink, pretty, yes, let's watch this. That's absolutely true. Yeah, she definitely has pink hair. And confirmed HBO Max is where you want to watch it if you're in the U.S. Netflix is another region and Amazon will send you to, Amazon sends you to something else to subscribe. Oh, it's one of those sub-Amazon things.

Yeah. Those are confusing sometimes. I also found it on Apple TV for $5. I don't know what you spent on the DVD. I spent like $22 on it. Oh, geez. Yeah. Apparently the digital, well, then you'd spend two weeks downloading it.

Exactly. If you don't have a strong internet connection, then this is exactly the way to do it. And so I'm curious about like your internet connection. Does that make HBO Max kind of rough or is it just impossible? Well, it'd be like anything. We can watch it. It's just down-resed. Like, it looks like duty.

It's why much mine. Looks like duty. Looks like duty. I like that phrase. All right. So, I mean, if you want to watch this, I mean, honestly, this movie is meant for high definition. Like, it's a beautiful, beautiful movie. Have you guys watched the new season of Bluey yet?

Have you done that? Oh. It's so bad. Ava woke up at 6'8 in the morning and says, It's Bluey Day and then proceeded to just binge watch the left. The funny thing is she had already seen it because on YouTube, they have figured out a way to show it without getting caught. They have this guy, it's a pitcher and pitcher. So you have Bluey in the top left hand corner.

And then you've got a guy in the corner like doing something. I don't know. He's like, booboo. Yeah. Like a mystery science theater. Yeah. You're claiming that it's a review kind of thing. Yeah, but he's not even talking, right?

It's just the blueie. Yeah, he's just kind of moving his arms and, like, being active. And that's how she watched the level three before it came out. This is what they've been doing with a lot of stuff. Like, they just, it's ways to get around the algorithm because it's the computers that detect whether or not you're breaking copyrights. So sometimes they'll blow it up too big or they'll make it really small or they'll speed it. up by like two times or they'll make the audio warbly or whatever and they'll get away with it for a little while and then you know they'll swoop in and kill it but that's that's hilarious that

I absolutely hate is people taking popular TikTok videos yeah and doing a side by side and just laughing they're just laughing next to it I'm like there's a reaction videos a lot of people yeah a lot of people on my Facebook feed complaining about React videos. And I get it. Like, there's bad React videos, but there are some people who do such good React videos. Oh, sure. Yeah. There's always good ones. That makes sense. I mean, I've, just the ones that look like they're staged, I can't even make it through five seconds. Yeah. Yeah. You're right to flip past those as fast as you can. They're not good. I follow this guy named Taco on TikTok. Yeah. I think his Taco reacts is the channel. And oh my gosh, his reactions are so amazing. Really? And for a lot of it, you would have

never seen the original. You know, like there's just no way you would have ever seen this original thing that he went and found for you. Oh, here he is. Taco reacts. Oh, I've seen this guy before. Okay. All right. I've never followed him, but he's got one point three million followers can't be wrong. I don't know. Yeah. So there's my recommendal for this week, Scott. And it's on TikTok. Nice. Streaming now. Even if you have bad internet.

Before we switch over. Yeah. I tweeted about this on my Twitter account, but I want to, I know it's starting school season. Yeah. Like kids are starting school. I hate that I have to do this or we have to do this. But if you are looking to support your local school. Yeah.

Exactly impact the lives of kids. kids and teachers by looking for wish lists for teachers. Oh, cool. Like things they need for their classrooms and stuff? I thought I heard all this stuff got shut down. Well, maybe it was just in Florida. Florida, there's some weird thing where it got shut down or something. No.

In fact, we have a tadpuller who is in my school district. She works at the high school. She's a teacher's journalism. Her name's Sarah. And I found her wish list and I sent her some stuff. but you can go on Facebook and look for like adopt a teacher and your county and you can just these teachers they come in especially first year teachers they have nothing and the school doesn't really provide much and so over the years they have adopted these Amazon wish lists

for their classrooms so you can buy like for her she needed some like USB desks and she needed a couple of covers for the cameras and a game or a book. or whatever, like the littlest stuff. And I know we have some teachers in the tab pool, too, that have put their Amazon wish lists up. It seems like, really? We have to do that? Yes, we have to do that to help these teachers.

So I just wanted to use my little time to say, shout out to all the teachers out there and make an Amazon wish list if you haven't already. Yeah, and somebody out there can clear up where I'm at with the Florida. Because apparently the Florida thing, they're like firing teachers who do this. Like it's, oh, God, really? Yeah, it's effed up. They're not even doing like book, what do they call that when they have the book? Oh, book drives.

Book drives. They're not even doing, they're not letting them do that or something. Some weird new thing. Yeah, either support the teachers or let them figure out a way to get support themselves, but you can't do neither. Right. I know our PTA managed it for our teachers in Colorado. The teachers seem to do it themselves here.

And there are always places on Facebook that kind of bring it all together. um every area is different so but yeah it's it's a one way to directly impact very quickly students and teachers yeah like feet on the ground tomorrow it will help me tomorrow kind of stuff yes it's amazing to watch yeah it's really good um all right we have first day of seventh grade tomorrow oh fun oh do you it's going to be the first year where he's um you know has more than just one teacher yeah for everything yeah and it's you know i've just You're just going to... Are you nervous?

Yes, because also it's the first time that we're just going to put him on a bus right outside and see what happens, you know? Like, no idea. No idea. That's intense. I hate it seventh grade. I guess we'll meet the teachers in our email inboxes. Oh, yeah. Sure you will.

Yeah. Seventh grade sucked. So good luck to him. It's got good parents. It'll be okay. But, man, seventh grade sucks. All right. Shout out to all the teachers.

Yes. All the teachers. All the teacher ladies. All right. Here's my clip. I will just say this is a horror movie. Horror? And so we're following the very sweet tale,

anime tale that Nicole did with a horror movie. This is currently on, oh shoot, did I say do Peacock or Paramount? Well, we'll find out in a second. But here it is. I'll play it. I love his voice. It's new.

What? The flyer. Mr. Yamada's putting them up again. You don't think they're going to find them, too. not how they want to come on let's go we're going to be late okay peacock is where it is the movie is called those are two amazing kid actors in a movie called the black phone which hit theaters not very long ago and almost immediately ended up on peacock uh i don't i think it's their premium tier i'm not sure you can get it any other way anyway it's called the black phone

and it will immediately to anybody who watches it feel like a stephen king book uh or movie it's very kingy very king of verse kids getting out of trouble kind of it style um and so you won't be surprised about who wrote it it was written by joe hill uh the son of stephen king um who based this this is all based on a short story he wrote called the black phone in a collection he wrote years ago and uh it focuses on that one segment this features um a bunch of great actors including Ethan Hawk as the bad guy. He plays this weird dude in the mask. This is set in the 1970s, by the way.

That's the thing I'd seen. Like when you said the name, I didn't recognize it, but as soon as I pulled up the artworks, like, oh, yeah, this thing. That thing. And Ethan Hawk is legitimately freaky in this. These two little kids, Mason Thames or Tames, or Tames, I'm not sure how you say his name,

because it looks like the river in the UK. Anyway, Madeline McGraw is this little girl, plays his sister. She's freaking incredible. she blew my mind she's got a whole career waiting for her i hope i hope she navigates it well um and then jeremy davies you guys know him from uh oh what was his name unjustified the younger son with the limp um yeah it was unlost lost he was uh fareday yeah he's he's great actors uh he was a crowder he was one of the crowders but not dewy not dewy the younger the younger

no not a crowder he was a wasn't a crowder ma ancillary crowder no he was madges the son, one of the sons in the second season. I can't think he was named. Ricky, Dickie, Dickie. Anyway, he's an amazing actor. He's great and everything and worth watching here. He's got a smaller role, but he's really good. Anyway, the movie is great.

I really enjoyed it. It's a really fresh, interesting take on a horror movie where the kids are the protagonist. And even though it is legit, freaky and involves themes that are a little hard to take sometimes, like, you know, the abhorre movie. of children and, you know, where did they end up and how, you know, when they got lost, what happened to them. It's all set in the 70s, which makes it so much freaking worse. Yeah, it totally does. Gives you that. The 70s stuff like that gives you such an uneasy

feeling. Oh, I agree. It's like wood paneling and dark basements and just everything looks like, everyone, everyone looks like they're getting abducted all the time in the 70s. I don't know what the deal is. But it's, uh, it's very, very good directed by Scott Deccerson. I don't know what his next thing will be, but, uh, the screenplay is by Robert Cargill. We know him as, uh, dude who's somewhat related to our extended community. He does some stuff with Diamond Club here and there. But he's also the co-writer of the screen

play for the first Dr. Strange movie. So it's got some interesting background in terms of his writing. Anyway, I really liked it. I highly recommend it. If you're looking for something that's sort of like it, but maybe not as convoluted or as long or having to have two parts or whatever,

this will probably do it for you and keep your eye on these two kids, this Mason kid and this Madeline girl. My gosh, they're good. They're so good. Anyway, I liked it a lot. It's the black phone. Just to answer your question that you just asked out loud, Scott Derrickson is working on

a movie called Retrograde. Oh. He's executive producing. I was going to say. I know. He's executive producing a film called Retrograde, and it's written and directed by someone named Maggie Levin. And it actually looks really interesting. I don't

know. Oh. Oh, this guy directed Dr. Strange as well. That's why he's working with Cargill. I missed that. He directed the first one. He EP'd the second one, I think is the way it goes. Okay. That makes sense. Okay. Also, he did Sinister. That's pretty intense. Deliver some evil. Exorcism of Emily Rose. Man, that one's stuck with me. Oh, yeah. Jeez. Okay. So he knows his stuff. I didn't, I never actually look back at all his stuff. He's pretty great. Lives in Denver, Colorado, Brian. Oh, local boy. Born on the day before I was born. No, wait. He's older than me. Anyway, the point is. see it the black phone fantastic horror movie had a great time with it all right and i have a series i can't wait

to talk about until next week but i'll save it uh Nicole or no we already did you Randy so uh I'm watching something that everybody's already seen but I have to recommend it and I have a reason for that and I'll tell you about it after the clip um I I'm recommending that you watch this thing that you've already seen okay and it's it's all it's all streaming what you're going to hear in the clip is a couple of Nazis, a couple of neo-Nazi trouble makers and they're always up to no good

those Nazis. They always seem like they're up to trouble. Yeah, always get into trouble. Yeah, it's it's late at night and they're out trying to, they're out trying to find something to blow up. All right, here's your clip. It ain't got. That ain't it. Well, boy, what do you think? Well, Jared, I think it sucks. What? Why? I appreciate the sentiment.

Wanting to go after a federal building under construction. But you see, we'd need us whole box of emulex to bring that down. And it's if you've got cuts in a steel. Now, all we got is a rocket launcher. And impressive as that is, the only thing it's going to do is knock some shit around. Don't you worry about it? We'll just go to Plan B. Plan B?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's always a plan B. so did I literally we were just talking about no kidding what timing yeah nicely done you held back I'm impressed so you're watching justified I assume yes yes because we have justified city prime evil coming later this year we do not yet have a fixed date but all signs point to November December as when we're going to get justified city prime evil and that gives you just enough time if you watch I don't know like four or five episodes a week to catch catch all the previous episodes of Justified. They are streaming on Hulu. And so I just started it. Man, it's so good. Dude, top 10 series of all time.

I love this show so much. It's so good. Yeah. Three times through this thing, by the way. Three watchthroughs for me of that entire series. Really? Oh my gosh.

I've only just watched it the one time. That's so good. It is so good. For a re-bend. It is. It really, really is. And like I say, you can chill and just watch a few episodes a week for the rest of the year.

it is it was surprising to me that i found myself pulling a clip of uh walton goggins rather than of timothy oliphant but i just i just love how this thing starts you know it's like this right out of the first episode of the first season it's just so it just like hits the ground running really really hard i agree one of the things i love about the first season does this really well or at least get you used to it really well but i wasn't used to shows where you got to spend a bunch of time with the protagonist that makes sense here are the good guys here the police here's their plan here's what they're doing and then you don't always see the back end of what's happening with the villains in your story and this show always spends time spends equal

time with everybody and so you get to see everything that's happening on the on quote unquote the villain's side and everything's happening on the good side and that makes things just so much more interesting and complicated and less black and white and it's just an amazing thing i mean it's my favorite elmore leonard adaptation of anything ever and i love things like get shorty and i love um what's the cluny one where he's making out with jalo uh out of sight out of sight very good movie um he's a great author and his stuff's amazing but i i there's something about justified in particular where i just think they capture it and it's it's it's kind of mind blowing to me that um it didn't get more awards and it's because of exactly when it came out like this was peak prestige television

and there were so many things getting emmys and justified would get nominated maybe once a year right yeah and of course of course it's known for uh winning the emmy for margo martindale who is what you're talking about by the way the that bad guy who you get to see a lot yeah yeah she was incredible that whole season like like even even of all the years it got one nomination for outstanding art direction and it didn't win that year one one time and it's like the art direction of this show is off the charts you know no it's so good it's a they it deserve more it has a huge underground following i'm not surprised there's a movie coming i can't wait for it in my heart it went all the award so it's fine oh no no no no this isn't a movie this is a series oh i thought they're doing it just a two hour deal no no no and again we don't know exactly how many episodes even, but they're, you know, like if you read like Cinema Blend or Deadliner, or you get to

keep up on that they're shooting the show and they expect to be finished with principal photography like this month. And like I say, we know that it's coming later this year because FX is trying to get it in to this year's books. But it's a series. It's a series. City Primeval

is what it's called. I did not know that. I'm all excited now. And Hulu is where the series is. Yeah. And by the way, City Prime Evil is a pretty terrible name, but that was the name of the novel by Elmore Leonard that's based on. Yeah. So, which is cool. Man, I spend a lot of time on Hulu now.

I'm there a lot. Yeah. Hulu, the little service that could. Yeah, and we just keep bringing it up on recommendals because it's like they can do no wrong, right? Like, only murders in the building. You can do no wrong. The Orville, you can do no wrong. Like, it's all on Hulu.

My thing next week, if it holds, meaning no one else kipes it from me. is also on Hulu, so we'll talk about that next time. Speaking of the next time, we'll do this again, but between now and then, if you're like, wait, what was all that stuff they talked about? Don't worry, we smear it all over the place, including over at quicktms.lea, L.I, but also if you follow Nicole Spag

and you follow Randy Deluxe on Twitter, you'll find them there. Although Randy can't really doing Twitter anymore, are you? Kind of off there. Yeah, my Twitter break is going really well. I've really enjoyed not being harassed by random strangers. it's an amazing what a week off of Twitter can do but anyway you'll find it everywhere you go it's always good having you guys on and Nicole I hope flooding never happens again and that

you get the internet you want and that your daughter keeps picking DVDs that everybody wants to watch picking based on pink hair judging I hope she continues to judge a book by its cover I do too that's the lesson here right always judge a book by its cover we'll see you both soon have a great week all right look at that I killed both accounts quickly. At one time, what did you do like a shift? Shift right click. I wish. I just had to be quick about the right clicking. All right. Check it out, y'all. We're toward the end of this year's show. However, quick email from a listener, the Luxembourg follow-up from Raoul, which I now know is pronounce Raoul, like R-O-W-L. All right, good. He says, hi. I don't remember how we pronounced it

before. I think I said Raul, because I didn't know the way it was spelled. But he says, hi, I love the Luxembourg part of the last show. You guys asked about pronunciation of my name. It was nearly perfect, but it's actually pronounced as you would say growl. So in a fake phonetics, Raoul. That's what we call them now. It says about the space junk. I actually meant that one company here owns and operates satellites, but as we are also rather big financial hub for very lax tax laws, it is normal for big money to settle here. So a lot of times that stuff will, you know, be owned by somebody where the money is there. Anyway, I have listened to your podcast in the early instance days and the shows before TMS which got me or sorry which i forgot the name it was with

the south american guy as co-host you're talking about extra life radio ELR excuse oblivion it was um or obsidian not oblivion obsidian right i kind of like oblivion that's all it's been for me yeah yeah it's been a bit but uh cidian talk to me other day she's even met him a dragon con and i forgot his name himself i feel so bad i talked to me the other day he's doing doing great doing tons of art and just kicking ass down there teaching at the university doing good. He's my favorite resilient still. How much is a Brazilian? All right. Real quick, I want to thank

Tradition states that we have to play a song before we leave today. Brian Nibbitt will be the guy to do it. What do you got? Fair enough. I can check this off my

to-do list. Listen, Jeremy Davies is Jeremy Dennis wrote in and said, hey, sound wave and Blaster. This August, my podcast about Transformers celebrates both our ninth anniversary on August 13th, and episode 500 of our toy focus show named Transmissions, as well as episode 300 of our media focus show called Altmode. Look at that. All three. It's like a perfect storm of Transformer stuff. In celebration of these three milestones, and by the way, clever way to get that promoted,

by the way. Nicely gone. I was wondering if you would play Dare from the Cybertronic Spree's album, 1986, Revisited. It's a great cover of the original Stan Bush track on the animated Transformers movie soundtrack. By the way, Jeremy, I would have expected you to get the name right. It's called The Transformers, the movie, The Soundtrack. Oh, oh, man.

Nice. Zing. Nine years ago, I never would have imagined the friends I would have made and the wonderful opportunities like A&TP that I've had along the way, of course. And as the song says, you can win if you dare. That's right. Of course, Jeremy. Very happy.

That movie's awesome. Have you ever seen the animated Transformers movie? I'm not. I'm waiting for us. We have it. Oops, there goes my light. We have it for film sack. We got to get a round of that because it's so good. We do because it has to be done. Yeah, and it's animated, which we're trying to do more of sometimes.

This is a perfect one for that? Yeah. Yeah. You got to get on it. Anyway. I don't even know what this whole Stan Bush, the touch thing is. Some cat named Weird Al Yankovic doing a song called Dare to Be Stupid or something. I don't know. Robots? What? All right. Anyway.

Jeremy, this one's going out to you, and congratulations on, listen, if there's anything that we're happy to hear is making it to any episode number after 100 is a feat in and of itself in podcasting. So congratulations on making it to 300 and 500 of those two different shows. So well done. All right. cybertronic spree these guys are awesome not to be confused with uh my you know another favorite band of mine the polyphonic spree uh these guys probably have far fewer members and don't require a 23 person tour bus in uh 2019 they released an album called transformers 1986 or 1986 revisited as uh as you say uh dare originally by stan bush covered here by cybertronic spree see you guys tomorrow for a whole new tms Sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered, there's nowhere to turn. You wonder how you keep going. Keep going.

Just think about the things that really matter. Can the chances you earn The fire in your heart is growing It's growing You can't die if you just Leave on the past behind Heaven only knows that you might find There

Dare to believe you can't survive You have the future in your hands There to keep on your dreams alive It's time to take the stand You can win if you dance Everybody's trying to break your spirit It's keeping you down Forever

Oh But there's another voice if you'll just hear it Saying it's the last round Looks like it's now Or never Out of the darkness You're stumbling to the light You're fighting for the things you're right

Death Just believe you can't survive The power is there at your command Damn Dare to keep all your dreams for life It's time to take those dance You can quit if you're dead Dare to believe you can't believe you can't survive.

your hands There, dare to keep on your dreams alive The power is that you come in Oh There, dare to keep on your love alive Dare to be Dare to be This is a place where dreams survive.

grown man scream. Me neither, man.
