the whole band is right in your hand
with the Cassio VL tone.
Five different instruments,
ten rhythms from rock to rumba,
and a calculator, too,
the VL tone from Cassio,
where miracles never cease.
This is pleasant.
Oh, Internet,
is there nothing you can't do.
This is the morning stream.
Good morning all and welcome to TMS.
It's the morning stream for Wednesday, September 7th, 2020.
I'm Scott Johnson.
That's Brian David.
Hi, Brian.
Hi, Scott.
I almost had one.
I don't know why.
Once in a while, it comes out.
We're almost, you know, we're three-quarters of the way done with this year.
I know.
I can't explain it.
I hate it, actually.
All right, two-thirds of the way done with this year.
We still have four months left.
Do we?
Yeah, we do.
You're right.
It's a good.
It's a good, it's a, talk knob deck.
It's a big, big final chunk of the year for, for, what's I going to say?
Oh, for, for movies.
It feels like all the cool movies are hitting right now.
I want to see this one with a big fat and seno man in it.
Oh, yeah, the whale.
Yeah, the whale, that's it.
Derenovsky, Brendan Frazier.
Yeah, they gave him a standing o.
good to see Brendan Frazier finally in something since the mummy, because, you know, there's
nothing that I've been raving about, uh, that friend, friend and Brazier has been in.
Yeah, friend and brazier. Sure.
Oh, it's, we got Nicole coming up on the show today, everybody. Yeah. Yeah. A little tease for what
you can expect. Um, yeah, let's see. So you had recommended pretty highly Doom Patrol, obviously.
Doon patrol. Yeah. Isn't he inside? He's inside. I still haven't watched it, but he's inside like a,
like a helmet deal. He's, he's a robot man.
Okay. I don't know what character of that.
I guess I do know from a glance who you're talking about, but I guess I'm different.
I just haven't seen him do it.
Yeah, no.
And he's not inside it.
Well, his consciousness or his, his, I guess consciousness.
Is that the word?
Well, what's the, because he's not like, he's the, there's not a person in the robot suit.
There's his brain.
Is it just his brain?
Is it just his brain?
Is it just his brain?
I guess it's just his brain.
Oh, okay.
His brain's in the suit.
All right.
Boy, I need to catch up on this stuff.
So everybody always talks about how he just disappeared.
I don't really see it because from 2000, let's see.
Okay, when was the break, supposedly?
I think it was between the second Mummy movie and Doom Patrol for me.
I mean, you're probably going to say, no, Brian, he was in these 11 things between those two.
I wish it was just 11.
See, that's what's crazy to me.
He was in multiple movies, a TV series, three, three,
TV series, something called Trust, Condor, and Professionals, The Secret of Karma,
Line of Descent, The Poison Rose.
Like, a bunch of stuff I don't know about, like, it's probably not big deals, but it
doesn't seem like you ever stopped.
Like, there's not a year where he's not working, like, from the 90s.
See, I thought this, I thought the deal was he just disappeared for a while, but I can't
find a year where he's not in something.
It was more that he disappeared from, like, for a while he was, boom.
everywhere like, you know, front and center, the mummy, Encino Man, George of the Jungle,
the Mummy Returns, Crash, right? Like he was, these were big high profile movies. And then he
started doing more indie stuff. And, you know, good for him. Yeah, sure. Because that's what
you want. You know, if you're into wanting that sort of thing, then a lot of, a lot of, a lot of folks,
are so this is interesting so the storyline of the whale the whale
whale a reclusive english teacher living with severe obesity attempts to
reconnect with as a strange teenage daughter for one last chance of redemption and this
is darrenovsky as you mentioned who yeah who makes psycho movies he does this sounds a
little more chill for him i could be wrong you know it's not going to be requiem for a dream or
freaking mother.
Probably not to that level.
That said, I think it's going to be,
God, I don't want to use,
I think it's going to be heavy,
but I mean,
I think it's going to be like really intense.
Yeah, heavy, heavy's a good,
that's a good word.
I like that.
I know, well, I was,
I was trying to avoid that, but,
yeah.
I think it's great that he's having a moment.
I think he deserves it.
I'm like trying to see.
Oh, mother.
Yeah, that was really weird.
Yeah, weird.
That was weird as hell, that thing.
Jennifer Lawrence.
She still says she'll, she's, she's, she's, she's, she, she's, she
deals she she was not what's the word she used it wasn't like she was actually treated
PTSD or something probably yeah yeah like getting into that role really freaked her out
and she would never she said she wouldn't do it again if she had the opportunity because it's just
freaked it just freaked it just freaked her out but anyway right good job you got your standing
oh which is a very different thing around these these parts uh all right hey um it's been
a while since i've had a good standing i know right look at our age we're lucky to get us
We're lucky to get a lying down o.
A liono.
There we go.
That's what we mean.
We've been Thundercats.
We're lucky to get a hoe.
All right.
Check this out.
Send and receive email.
We got an email about ships and how they work and the diamond stores on the ports and all that.
Thankfully from Jim Vick who wrote in.
Jim Vick.
The adventures of Jim Vick.
She walked into that bar that night.
Anyway, here's what he says.
Yeah.
Says, hey, Scott.
Welcome back.
from the great state of Alaska.
Could you see Russia?
He lives in Alaska, by the way, this guy.
Okay.
I can see Russia from my house.
So while we were there, I forgot to say this, while we were there on the boat,
I heard some people on the ship going,
now where does Sarah Palin live?
And someone said, oh, she's in Wasilla or whatever her town is.
And they go, I go, oh, she's so great.
I just love her so much.
She's so great.
She kept saying over there.
She's so great.
I wish we, you think.
Oh, really?
Can you name something great she did?
Yeah, I was like, can you name a thing?
But they're like, oh, you can, and do you think we'll see where she lives from where we're going to be?
And I'm like, turning Wasilla into the meth capital of the 50, the United States.
Yeah.
Is that, that's a nice good accomplishment she's got there.
Anyway, they're going to go for the records.
They were super into her.
Anyway, he says this.
Two items you mentioned on TMS.
Number one, many of the stores at the shops in Alaska are owned by the cruise lines.
So you pay them to sail you to a small town to buy stuff from their stores.
So I don't know which ones or how you know,
but I guess a bunch of those stores and a bunch of those places on the port are owned.
I'm not saying the whole port, but, you know, a store or two would make sense.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I'm not sure how you tell.
I mean, maybe you can't tell unless you like really dig deep into the records.
Right.
Like the one Crab Shack place that's supposed to be the big famous,
everybody has to go their place that we decided against because the line was nine miles long.
Oh, my God, uh-huh.
And you could pay for it.
Owned by the cruise?
You could pay for it with your medallion.
I bet it was owned by the cruise.
I'll bet you.
Oh, maybe.
Just seemed like one they might own.
Still, you know, crabs in Alaska?
Probably pretty good.
Probably pretty fresh.
Yeah.
You know what?
I'm going to go ahead and say crab in Alaska, wherever you get it,
unless it's a Taco Bell or something, you're fine.
I'm going to say, you know, that Alaskan king crab, probably really good in Alaska.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where the crab is king.
Speaking of the crab king, are you caught up on the House of the Dragon?
No, I haven't even started.
I'm waiting for all episodes for a dragon and Lord of the Rings.
We are about an episode away from finishing the most recent, or the new season of oily murders in the building.
Oily murders.
Oily murders in the building.
It's a reality competition.
Well, you can guess.
Yeah, you can guess with the oil that, where the oil comes in.
Anyway, it's, uh, um, man, that new series is real freaking good.
That's what I'm hearing.
I'm hearing, uh, second episode takes, like, cranks it up a notch, really badass.
Even, even third episode, I would say, is really, oh, really.
Yeah, let me say it this way.
Matt Smith was, I wasn't really watching, uh, Dr. Who when he was there anyway.
Sure.
But not really my favorite looking Dr. Hu, he's fine.
just kind of a goober you know and then i saw him later he looks like he looks like
one of the whichever one punch or judy i'm not sure which it is but he looks like uh punch or judy
yep and then he was uh who's the prince philip he was prince philip the queen thing or the
it was really good in that it was very good in that yeah he's great uh very unique looking dude
well he's completely won me over in this role he's playing in this thing it's so good my gosh
it's fantastic all right can we just see it anyway
He goes on to say number two.
Tenet was Tenet and, uh, uh, and, uh, what's his face?
Still my, uh, Capaldi.
I still like, I think I like every other modern doctor over Matt Smith.
I, I like Capaldi.
I like Tenant.
I like, um, yeah.
Shaved head dude, the first, first one in the modern era.
Oh, uh, I like Littaker.
Yeah, she's good.
Uh, who's the, now he said bald shaved head.
What's his freaking name?
I know.
What's the guy's name?
Ehrman Trout.
Eccleston, thank you, Christopher Eccleston.
I do it began with an E.
That guy's great.
He's awesome.
He is great.
And he, you know, he, boy, he brought an edge to that role.
For me, the leftovers was like a great show, but better because he was in it.
Yeah, oh, for sure.
So good.
28 days later.
It was days.
You're right.
Days.
Yeah, Weeks was, weeks had.
Rumpel, Stiltskin.
I love weeks, by the way.
I'm a huge weeks fan.
I like both of them, yeah.
I would like a big fan of 28 days, but I do like 28 days later in 28 weeks.
Yeah, 28 days is the, which one is that?
Is that the Sarah Bullock?
Sandra Bullock goes into rehab.
Okay.
I always mix it up with the Michael Keaton thing, where he's also in rehab.
What was that called?
Batman.
It was Batman.
It was called Batman.
I don't remember.
Anyway, number two on his list.
Anyway, yes.
It was a side.
It was a side turn.
Cold sober, that's the movie.
Cold sober.
I always mix it up with the Sondra Bullock movie.
Anyway, he says marijuana, Mary Jane, Bud, Gonga, Herb, Chronic, Grass, Dope, Hash.
He says, while many of these locations have decriminalized it, the federal government has not changed their laws on MJ, meaning
marijuana or Mary Jane.
And the cruise ships are regulated by the feds
such as the U.S. Coast Guard
and Customs and Porter Protection.
So that's why
they may have weed shops, but they ain't letting
you bring the weed on the ship.
Yeah, totally, totally makes sense.
By the way, I like that you said herb
in honor of Randy Jordan.
Yeah, I did it because he used to call them
herbs and herbalism.
Still does, I think.
I think he still does, probably, yeah.
Yeah, goes to a herbalist.
That's right.
Herb, herbalist.
I can't read Randy on when I joke about how he says things,
like when I talked about chorizo and albuquerque and things like that.
I get like a response from him that just ends with a period.
Yeah, it's just a quiet.
Yes, I heard it.
Yeah.
I'm not like a ha-ha, very funny.
Yeah, I know, I say it weird.
Ha-ha, moving on.
We never get that.
It's always just like.
I heard it.
He changed Catwoman.
That's as much as you're going to get.
Anyway, he says they are helping passengers to not have problems when they land, says Jim Vick.
Well, Jim Vick, I hope you continue to have a great private detective life with your cool name.
And also, thank you for your email.
That helped me understand that stuff a little bit better.
So thank you for that.
Brian, tell me about the NFL draft and why we care.
Yeah, so.
I want to call it the draft.
Bap-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-N-B-N-B-N-FB.
NFL sports starts tomorrow, the actual real season of football,
and the only thing I, the only thing that can make me care about it is, A,
my mother-in-law giving me tickets to the Broncos games,
and B, betting on it.
To help with the latter, I've started up a CBS Sports football pick-em-pool,
where you go and you make your picks of the football teams,
every week. You pick which team you think is going to win based on the spread. And you pay your
five bucks. Actually, you'll pay at the end of the season. The most you're out is 85 bucks, right?
Because it's like 17 weeks or plus postseason and Super Bowl and stuff. But 100 bucks or less is what
you're in for. And if you're number one at that week, you get some of that money back and
at the end of the year for second and third, we'll split the rest of the money on that. There's
no money being taken by the pool manager, me, unless I win a week.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, so if you want to get in, today's last day, and there's just a few, I'm looking
right now, it looks like there's actually a couple people jumped in on this, thanks to
Jeannie posting the link.
Thank you for posting it.
She poists the link.
Posting the link in chat.
Anyway, there's just a few spots left if you get in and you got to get in quick.
Yeah, there you go.
Don't miss out.
Get in there.
Yeah, five bucks a week.
So, and if you miss the link, if you're listening to the show late,
DM me on Discord or email me at coverville at gmail.com.
And if there's still spots left, you are in like the Flynn.
Oh, man, Flynn wouldn't even know what to do here.
This is great.
You wouldn't.
Like, how do I do this?
I have this.
There we go.
There we go.
I was trying to find some freaking football music and I couldn't find it.
Yeah.
So there you go.
All right.
Awesome.
do check that out uh what else that's it for this morning's top topics you know what that means time to add
brian done away to the call uh hopefully he remembered we're doing this i don't know it's been a while you
know we can't expect people to remember everything uh let's see here here we go oh he's logged in so he

Check it out. It's time for us to play the Tap Pooley feud. That's right. A game that we play here with Brian
Dunaway, which we'll explain in a minute. But first, we have to welcome to the show. Hello, Brian. How are you doing?
No, hello. Who is this? Hello? Hello?
Hey, it's been a while. Hi, Scott and Brian. Yeah. It has been a minute. Did you miss us or did you not miss us? How do you feel about us coming back? Do you feel good? Well, if you'd ask me like three days ago, you know, three days before we did like film sack and play retro, maybe I wouldn't miss you guys. But I just saw you guys.
Oh, good point.
A day or so.
Yeah, good point.
You've already been here.
But in the context of this show, yeah, I've missed you.
Aw.
Well, we missed you, man.
We missed you.
All right.
Who else did we miss?
Someone waiting on the line.
Let's find out who this is.
Hi, thanks for holding.
Who's this?
Hey, it's Dwayne out near St. Louis, Ro Baby in the tab.
Nice, Ro Baby.
Wow.
Haven't to heard that name in a while.
Yeah, it's been some time for sure.
A hot minute.
Hey, Brian, why don't you explain to Vro Baby, how this contest wins?
or works.
Oh, we'll totally do that.
It's, it's how, this is how the contest wins.
It's time to play the Tadpooly Few.
I've served the Tadpool on some nerdy topics,
and Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us.
It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess.
Dwayne, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian.
If your team wins, you get a prize package that includes a courtesy of Racer 951.
You get both Lego Harry Potter years one through four and Lego Harry Potter years five through seven.
Get all the Lego Harry Potter.
That's a lot of Lego Harry Potter.
It is a lot of Lego Harry Potter.
Yeah.
Hey, Dunaway, how's your mic doing?
You get over there, you got a wrestling, you got a little thing going?
I dropped my, I dropped my little mic cover, so I had to put it back on.
And I tried to do it.
I tried to do it on the down low.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
No, it's fine.
Gailed.
You felt.
Well, I knew I was.
Well, I knew I was, at one point in time, I was like, you know what?
It's just, it's like when you're trying to open a rapper at a funeral, like for a piece of candy, it's just like finally you just go, just, I'm making way more noise trying not to make noise.
I'm just going to rip the band-ape.
Yeah, look, you got to do what you got to do.
It's like a bad condom moment.
You got to put it back on.
I get it.
Well done.
Nice job.
All right.
I like my funeral analogy better than your cot was weird.
Yeah, the condom one was weird.
You're right.
You're right.
It was weird.
All right, Dwayne, we're happy to have you here.
We're going to play this thing.
I guess we'll just get started here, Brian.
Sure, let's just get started.
We asked exactly, apparently, 800 tadpoolers to give their answer to this.
13 of them couldn't come up with an answer.
Whatever.
What's your favorite Nicholas Cage film?
Scott.
The Rock.
Show me The Rock.
Oh, number two.
Number two.
One answer will beat it.
Brian. There's no such thing.
Connor. Conner.
Connor. Show me.
Connor.
Oh. Conair number three.
I disagree with that order, personally, but
I mean, I love The Rock, like, legitimately,
but I cannot imagine what number one is now.
That's right. Well, Scott, you and Dwayne are going to be
guessing the rest of these here. And if you miss one,
it's going to go over to Brian Dunaway to guess, just, you know,
explaining this in case there's somebody new here.
All right. Dwayne, the Rock.
uh johnson here uh that's that's the that's the dwayne johnson group here uh what do you think dwayne
you got anything that uh pops right out of your head well i i got to say face off oh yeah dude
face off why not face oh of course oh oh all right show let's do it face off show me face off
yeah yeah number four on the list okay i would have thought that was one for sure
I also think that that belongs higher on the list.
Yeah.
Well.
And you say 16 people didn't even answer at all?
13 people didn't even answer at all.
Or gave none of them.
I hate him or something like that.
That's rude.
I would tie Conair and face off, but I would still put the rock ahead of those two.
Fight me.
All right.
Let's see.
We got three here.
Let's try for another.
Um, we'll go for something, uh, uh, let's see here. Hold on. Um, uh, uh, Peggy Sue got married.
Peggy Sue got married. That's a great one. Yeah. All right. Show me. A Peggy Sue got married.
Oh, damn it. Oh, no. Number 23 on the list. I'm sorry, number 26 on the list. It's not surprising. It's a dumb pole. It's my, it's my bad, boy. We'll get it back. I guess it's more like, uh, Peggy Sue.
Is that how he talked in that?
You talked like the full-on
Crispin Glover nerd.
Yep, he was going full method actor
on that thing, for sure.
All right, Brian.
Over to Brian Dunaway.
Yep, it's your ball.
I'm going to go with
Raising Arizona.
Oh, great movie.
Such a good movie.
All right.
Show me.
I hate when you do that.
Why do you always do that to me?
Like pretend that it's the first time I'm hearing that answer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's the one.
That's the one.
Okay.
All right.
Show me raising Arizona.
No.
Number six.
Wow.
Really.
Big points.
Ooh.
That puts you ahead by three points.
Jerks.
Yeah.
Just one.
I would have been the top one.
Yeah, I would have put it in the top.
All right.
First place, a lot of us saw or realized we were seeing Nicholas Cage.
Yeah.
That's first.
That's the first time I said, hey, I like that guy, that Nicholas Cage guy.
He's pretty fun.
Yeah, I bet you could make a strong argument than in this would have been 87, I think,
that that movie was his breakout, right?
Yeah, you can easily.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because the movie that came before that definitely was not a breakout for him.
Yeah, I agree.
Uh-uh.
All right.
Well, I don't know, but Nicholas Cage is a real national treasure,
so maybe I should go that.
Oh, my God.
All right.
Show me national treasure.
treasure. Well, well, uh, backed into that one.
Nicely done, sir. Right.
Number one.
Number one answer on the board. A lot of people really like that movie.
I think it's good. That makes sense.
Weird. That was peak. That was peak. Nick, Nicholas. Yeah. For me.
I put Conair face off and the rock above that one, but, uh, I put all of these above that.
Um, uh, all right. So I was just thinking somebody's, we're trying to get high, low point or, you know, high points.
So I don't get to guess.
Oh, I was thinking he got it wrong.
What am I saying?
Sorry, my bad.
What are you doing?
I don't know.
I was going down a path.
I neither took plums nor left them.
I don't know what's happening.
Go, Brian.
I'm going to go with my, right.
I'm going to go with one of my favorites.
Okay.
There's not everybody's favorite.
Ghost Rider.
Ghost Rider, I'm sure.
The first one.
He was in both, but I'm going to say the first one.
Right.
Right.
All right.
Show me Ghost Rider.
Oh, how is that?
Not them, Ghost.
That's a bad game, or bad game, bad movie.
It's not.
It's not.
It's okay.
Yes and no.
It's bad.
But I'm going to defend it.
I do like watching Ghost Rider, especially the second one.
The second one is really good.
Have we done?
We filmed sack one of those, right?
Didn't we?
We definitely filmed sack the first one.
Did we watch?
I don't think we did both of them.
No, I don't think we did two.
I've tried to get you guys to do the second one, but we haven't yet.
I am so in for doing this.
I'll do the second one.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
He was directed by the guy who did the Bandaris Zorro things, I think.
Oh, really?
Okay.
I think so.
Anyway.
All right, Dono, it's still your turn, as I understand now.
You sure you don't want to take a turn?
No, we haven't done.
I would know the Wicker Man, because it's film sack.
We did it on the film sack.
Yeah.
Bees.
Not the bees.
No bees.
Oh, bees.
It's full of bees.
Show me the Wicker man.
No, rightfully so, not on the list.
However, enough people liked it to put it all the way up to number 16.
Jeez, that beat Peggy Sue.
It beat Peggy Sue, yeah.
Dwayne, how do you feel about Pig?
I haven't seen it yet, but it's definitely on my list.
All right, me too.
I just feel like because it got such rave, like critical reviews,
somebody out there in some number said Pig.
And so I'm hoping for low, like, you know, eight or ten here, but we'll say pig, Brian.
All right.
All right, show me, pig.
Number 10.
And with that, Scott's back in the game.
That's right.
Big points.
We're still three points below you, so don't get too excited.
Three answers on the board.
Any one of those will put you guys in the lead.
All right.
And any two of them will make your lead unbeatable.
Insurmountable.
Insurmountable, the exact word that I was looking for.
Thank you, Brian.
All right, Dwayne, I'm open to anything you got, man.
I'm running blank here.
How about the most recent one that I know?
The unbearable weight of massive talent.
Oh, yeah, the one about him.
Oh.
Sort of.
The one with the Mandalorian just came out like a week and or a year ago, whatever it was.
Yeah, Pedro Pascal.
Yeah, let's do that.
We'll do that one.
All right.
Show me the unbearable weight of massive talent.
Oh, boom.
13 on the list.
Popular, but not.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
People are going old school.
That tells you something done away about where they're going.
Yeah, it really does.
Yeah.
Then maybe he just needs to leave Las Vegas.
Maybe he just needs to be there leaving Las Vegas.
All right.
Aren't there two of those?
There was one where it was a comedy and he looked like Elvis in it.
And then there was one where it was serious and he drank all the time.
Are you hoping that all the name?
another Nicholas Cage film for you?
I always mix those two up.
But anyway, whatever it is.
All right.
Show me leaving Las Vegas.
Oh, come on.
The one he got an Oscar for is not on the list.
Excellent film, but only number 17 on the list.
Okay.
That's a hard film to watch.
That's not like a, ah, you know, I really need to pick me up.
How about leaving Las Vegas?
Yeah.
What was the one I was just thinking?
That's a good question.
Oh.
Here, let me give you one.
Okay.
You can veto me on this if you want to, Dwayne.
But my heart said spider noir from your spider verse would have been something that had put on there.
He was good in that, but it was a real small role.
So I don't know.
Like, what do you think?
Am I up the tree here or what?
I don't know.
I was thinking of another superhero movie, though, that,
He did star in.
Oh, you're probably thinking of Kickass, yeah?
Absolutely.
You know what?
I like yours better.
Oh, there you go.
I like his better.
Let's go with Kickass.
I thought you were talking about Superman.
The one they never did.
Oh, that's a shame.
Show me Kickass.
The choice puts you in the lead.
Number seven on the list.
Nice.
Nice.
Well done, dude.
I'm glad I went to you on that.
Any other hot ones?
Dripping out of your.
Dripping out of your butt.
Oh, my God.
Any other Alestra-style
Nicholas Cage films?
Anything's having a little seepage.
Yeah, I know.
Well, good ones.
It's a relative term.
Good ones.
I'll pretty much watch anything he's in.
Like, I wonder, how Mimi is that vampire one that's super old that we watched on
that everyone loved because it's cheeseball?
Yeah.
sure you mean to tell you the name of that one
I can't remember
vampire diary or
we did it we did it on film sack does that help any
no I knew that I just can't think of the damn name
oh vampires
vampires
oh you're so close
maybe you should just maybe you're just look in the chat room
can I look in the chat? Because that's fair game
oh let me look in there oh vampires kiss
look in the chat room yeah
vampires kiss I'm not
saying that's for sure. I'm just saying it's possible
everybody love hates that
and it might be on here. Dwayne, thoughts,
feelings? Yeah,
that one works. All right. Vampires kiss,
Brian. All right. Show me
vampires kiss.
Damn it.
Hey, B, C, D.
Only 22 people. I'm sorry.
Four people said Vampires Kiss, putting
a number 22 on the list. In the whole world, by the
way, four people. In the whole world.
Yes, four people like that movie.
and say it's their favorite in the cage film.
All right.
Two answers on the board.
If you get one of these, Brian, then you win the game.
No, that's not true.
You have to get...
I'll have one, yeah.
You have to get the number eight for sure.
Oh, so there's pretty much no way my...
We can't...
He can't lose them because either I lose and Scott wins or I run the board.
Yeah, that's right.
Sort of.
Eight and five are still up there.
If you get eight, but you don't get five, then Duane loses.
Scott and Dwayne lose.
If you get both eight and five, then Dwayne wins.
Wait.
If he gets eight, I'd lose.
Right.
Because eight's worth a ton of points.
It's worth eight points, yeah.
Gotcha.
Okay.
27, which is more than the 23 you have.
If he gets the five, but not the eight, he buzzes out after that.
We still win.
You still win.
Okay.
All right.
So the only eventuality where Dwayne doesn't get the prizes is if Brian gets eight, but not five.
Got it.
Oh, my God.
Any other eventuality.
He gets none.
He gets both.
He gets eight.
Any other eventuality?
Oh, my God.
I'm going to be gone in 60 seconds if we don't figure this out.
No, I like the reference.
Gone in 60 seconds.
That's really good.
Oh, you're right.
19 plus 5 is 24.
If you get...
Math.
Math is you hard.
Right.
Yes.
If you get either one of these, but not both, then...
then Dwayne does not get the prizes.
Cheers, Louise.
All right.
So he said gone in 60 seconds.
Oh, is that what he said?
Really?
That whole time I was talking,
did you say gone in 60 seconds?
He did.
Well, before you started talking about,
yes, he did say it.
Jeez, Louise.
All right.
Show me gone in 60 seconds.
Hold on.
I'm thinking.
Oh, shit.
Yes, number five.
That puts him ahead.
Number five.
Brian, clear this board.
It's on you.
You clear this board, man.
Dwayne's been very nice.
Well,
All right, I'm going to let you guys help you out just in case.
I was going to go with the Crudes, but I don't know if the Tadpool is all into that.
Because I love his role in the Crudes.
It's such a silly role.
I don't even know what the Crudes is.
What is that?
Animated film about Cavemen.
Oh, right.
Someone made that that was really good at animation, and I missed it.
Yeah.
The animation was really cool on it.
Yeah.
it's pretty funny it's pretty funny uh i was going to go either at crudes or uh 8 millimeter
and there was one more ahead in my head um 8 mills that was terrible movie oh remember that
yeah it's bad it's really bad um how do i know this crude's business and then of course we we had
that when did this when did this one go out to the tap pool because i did see i am looking at chat
room now you see willie's wonderland that's a that's also a good one ooh
It's not a good one.
Not a good one.
Not a good one.
Hey, that sounds like a hint to me.
That sounds like a hint.
That's what exactly was.
It sounded like, oh, my God, I feel so much pressure now.
So far, a bunch of people said this one, but only one person has said it recently in the chat room.
Oh, there we go.
There's another person might have said it.
You know what?
Right.
This is why I knew the crudes.
It was directed by the Lilo and Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon Director.
That's what it was.
All right.
I feel better about my brother.
Yeah, all right, go ahead.
Sorry.
Well, I'm just going to go with City of Angels.
Just kidding.
I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with, I have a feeling that Rainbow Bright knows Moonstruck,
and I think she represents the Tadpool thought here.
So I'm going to go with that.
Moonstruck.
Okay.
I almost said Moonstruck as well.
But then Ibitt is so quiet, I'm like.
I'm ready to see if you.
If you, I don't know, is there a two you're kind of wrestling between or just that one?
Yeah, Lord of War or Moonstruck is kind of, I'll let Scott make the call.
No, I'm not making no call. You got to make it. It's your job.
It's pretty good. Okay, fine. Dwayne is, you know, it's his prizes on the line here. So maybe you should determine if he likes, if he likes Lord of War or Moonstruck. Which one of those?
Yeah, what do you like more? That's a great question. Dwayne, if you had to sit down and watch one of these.
pay-per-views, which would it be?
Oh, it'd be Lord of War.
Lord of War is great.
Oh, it would be Lord of War, absolutely.
Okay, well, they're going to go with that then, because I think that's where we're landing.
Okay, let's go with that, and well done, you've run the board with no help from me.
That's fantastic.
Absolutely, Lord of War.
Congratulations, Dwayne, you're getting these prizes.

Every prominent Twitch and YouTube streamer
They all want you to sub during September
Oh gotcha
Forbubber everybody
Get ready to smash it Brian
All right
Yeah
Smash and like and subscribe
We have a little bit of time for news
So I think we'll do it
It's time for the news
And it's brought to you
That new Game of Thrones prequel, it's great.
It is, and I just want to tell people, I'm three episodes in, I'm not going to spoil anything,
I'm just going to tell you that if you're like a certain John Jagger,
who he's actually kind of softening up on it a little bit,
but if you were like so sour about the way Game of Thrones ended,
and so that just made you think, well, I'm never going to like anything these guys do again,
and I know there's some of you out there like that, you're wrong to be sleeping on this one.
It's very, very good.
So far, very good.
I am excite.
Yeah.
The girl who plays this young queen, up-and-coming queen, the princess chick.
The Targaryian chick.
Targaryian lady.
She's from Australia, this young actress.
She plays the young version of her.
And yes, there's an actress that plays an old version of her.
Anyway, I won't get into that.
But she's not carrying the show, but she's so compelling.
I don't know what her career is going to look like.
I just guarantee it it'll be awesome.
Everyone treat her nice.
She's amazing.
She's so cool.
Anyway, here we go.
Let's get to this story here.
The Falkers, Ben Stiller and Sean Penn have been banned by Russia.
They are no longer allowed in Russia.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong.
This article makes it sound like Sean Penn was in the Fockers.
Yeah.
And I don't remember that.
Was he?
No.
No, but they're also banning Owen Wilson.
They just didn't mention it.
And he's like, a home going, wow.
Yeah, you're out too.
De Niro. Yeah. Wow. I guess I'm not going to Russia. Wow. Wow.
Actor Sean Penn and Ben...
That was uncalled for, Russia. Wow.
Wow. I didn't do anything to you. Wow.
Actors Sean Penn and Ben Stiller are among 25 U.S. citizens that have been banned from visiting Russia,
according to the Kremlin announcement on Monday.
In a statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry prohibited 25 high-ranking officials,
business people, and actors from entering Russia on a permanent basis.
They're never allowed there ever.
The move comes in retaliation for the U.S.
or U.S. President Joe Biden sanctions.
Nobody's ever anywhere on a permanent basis.
No. No.
I don't know. I mean, whatever. There's a future where Sean Penn could step foot in there, I guess.
I don't know. He needs to take a shower, though. That guy, I've seen him recently.
He doesn't like, he looks like he showers like once a month. That Sean Penn guy.
Yeah, he kind of does, yeah. I know he's got the money.
Is there, is the whole list available somewhere? Because that would be nice, wouldn't it?
I see. I see Kristen Whig in this photo. I think that's Kristen Whig.
Yeah, I don't think that's fair about. With Sean Penn and Ben Stiller.
Oh, the reason, let's see, the reason they're specifically targeting Stiller is he visited
Keith.
Oh, no, that's Gina Raimondo.
Wow, okay, that photo, she looks like Kristen Wig.
Oh, I agree, 100%.
Are we sure that isn't her?
The title says Gina Romando, Remando.
Oh, weird.
Maybe it's Kristen Wig as Gina Ramando.
I don't know.
Well, anyway, Stiller visited Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky.
and that didn't sit well with Putin and his people.
So he said, sorry, you're out.
Ben Stiller, son of Jerry Stiller from Seinfeld.
I know.
It's a shame.
So that's a thing.
That's going on.
Oh, well, you know, the list is increased because it's 963 Americans.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
Any other prominence we'd know?
Let's see.
Marjorie Taylor Green, banned from Russia.
Can we ban from America too?
I don't know.
She loves them.
they love her where did that why i know i don't know what what the deal is uh morgan freeman rob
riner uh oran hatch john mccain well good luck is they're both dead yeah they're not going to be over
there uh let's see uh of course uh biden uh hunter biden bob casey a oc i still want to see the entire
oh there so this is the ongoing list not a new list right like this is this is like apparently
Putin is Aria Stark to carry on the Game of Thrones connection here.
Wow.
Let's see.
Anthony Blinken, Matt Gates, Matt Gates, really?
Matt Gates.
Lindsay Graham.
Boy, a lot of these people I'd like to just ban, anyway, Jeffrey Katzenberg.
From all people.
Yeah, that's great.
Oh, Mitt Romney.
Sorry, Scott.
Mitt Romney's on there?
Well, next time I bump up next to his junk, I'll tell him, sorry.
Mark Zuckerberg, Smokey Bear on this list.
uh smoky bear it's an odd one shut up is it really no no but that would be i wouldn't surprise
that would be awesome i'm bending all of sponge bob squirpans characters never set foot in
russia that's right patrick is too stupid that's right fred flintstone you're out you're out
barn take barney with you wow all right i wonder how they come up with this list it's like
I guess anyone who's ever said
anything bad about Russia.
Yeah, Mark Benioff,
chief executive officer of the IT company
Salesforce, Ben from Russia.
Yeah, you can't come in here.
He's no Salesforce for you.
It's kind of fun.
I'm just wondering what they did.
Let's see, a lot of these are
members of the House of Representatives,
deputy secretary of the treasury.
I want to find another weird one to close out on
because this is really funny.
Yeah, it's fun.
I had the entire list in front of me and I'm scrolling through it.
Let's see.
John Brennan, former head of the CIA.
That makes sense.
Nathan Allen Briscoe, U.S. citizen.
So just a dude.
I'm going to search.
Let's see if I'm banned.
See if you're banned in Russia.
Maybe we are today.
Nope.
For talking about this.
No?
No.
Let's see.
Who else we got?
Cory Booker.
Oh, Cory Booker.
They just don't like how bright and shiny happy he is all the time.
They don't want him over there.
Forget it.
How do they feel about, they seem to be pretty non-denominational on the political front.
They got all kinds of both sides on there.
Of course, some of these are old.
I think the Romney won is years and years and years ago.
I don't think it's recent.
But it's permanent, so, you know, you're on the list.
Yeah, let's see.
George Stephanopoulos.
Yeah.
He's a former press secretary.
I believe.
Yep.
And, uh, yeah, all right.
Yeah.
No, no wibits.
No wibits on there.
No wibits.
I did a search.
Oh, let's see if there's a Johnson.
Yeah, find a Johnson.
Patrick, oh no, here we go.
Patrick Grady, judge of Johnson County, Iowa.
That doesn't count.
No.
Alex, oh, a lot of Johnsons.
Here we go.
You're ready for all the Johnsonsons?
Yeah, give me the Johnsons.
Alex Johnson, staff member of the Helsinki Commission.
Henry Johnson, member of the House of Representatives from Georgia.
Dustin Johnston, Republican, South Dakota.
James Johnson.
State of Louisiana, Ronald Johnson, Republican State member, Wisconsin.
Tay Johnson, U.S. citizen.
Take that, Taye.
William Johnson, Ohio, and Eddie Johnson, member of the House of Representatives from the Democratic Party State of Texas.
Wow.
Lots of Johnson's out there.
Lots of Johnson's, but not you.
Nope.
I'm still good.
I'm still good.
Yeah.
Give me time.
But this U.S. citizen, Tay Johnson.
Yeah.
Well, my daughters, we call Taylor.
Tay all the time. So maybe she's been.
I'll have to find out. She is a U.S. citizen.
She was born here.
All right. We are going to
take a break when we can back Tom Merritt
Recommendals, all that stuff coming up.
So stick around for that.
Before that, though. And this will literally
be a break because I'm going to pause everything
and go see
a guy about a horse. Oh, really?
And then pee on him? Yeah, and then pee on him.
And that won't take long, but
we're going to do all of that. But before
we do that, we've got to play this song, Brian Brought.
What did you bring so we can play it?
This is, so this, this comes on the heels of their highly anticipated sophomore EP
and ahead of their celebratory national tour, a Melbourne-based trio called Telanova is releasing
the video of their song Stained Glass Love.
Now, we've featured Telanova on the show before, and they're fantastic.
This is yet another song from the Stain Glass Love EP.
It is the title track.
Here is Stained Glass Love from the band Telanova.
black. Never looking back. I'm weightless. I'm captured and I'm ratchet by the way.
I want to soles around me. I shed my skin and feel my 48. Slowly levitating.
Hold me closer now my mind's on the fire
Take your drinks right from the fountain fields
High above the sea is staying by a slow
Shining down on earth
Eyes of lift the room go blind
Walking past an empty shrine and camouflage
As the colors start to bleed
In the pool of gravity
I'm called towards the dawn
I'm capturing and rapture by the way
The world dissolves around me
I shed my skin and feel my body, yeah, slowly levitating.
Hold it close and out my mind on the fire.
Take a drink straight from the fountain of you.
High above, I see to stay in less, shine on eyes.
Hold me closer now my mind's on fire.
Take a drink straight from the fountain of you.
How about I see you stay in this way?
And how can I see you stay in this love?
How can I be here now?
And how can I be here now?
I'm called towards the dawn.
I crave it all.
close and out my mind's on fire
take a drink straight from my
fountain of you
hide by sea
staying by slow
shine on the eyes
hold me close and now my mind's on fire
take a drink straight from my fountain
I don't see you stay my soul
And how can I be?
And how do you know tonight?
Now, tonight, now.
I'm cold towards the door.
And how close to the door?
And how can I go?
And how can I be here?
I'm calling to watch the door.
And how can I be here now?
I'm called towards the dawn.
And how can I be here now?
I'm called to launch the dawn
Look at what my husband just got me.
It's a ginormous gummy bear lollipop.
Nothing like it.
No wonder you guys never talk.
The Morning Stream
Win there
All right, we've returned.
Brian, who was that amazing music song person?
Yeah, that music song person,
Trio is a band called Telanova.
The song you heard was Stained Glass Love.
That also is the title of the brand new EP.
So you get that song,
and a bunch of other ones along with it,
because it's an EP.
Stained Glass Love by Telanova.
Wow.
I like how the TikTok girl sounds like she both,
she simultaneously hates and loves everything.
Oh, yeah, 100%.
Nothing like a Frappuccino from Starbucks.
I think that's her entire vibe is I hate and love this at the same freaking time.
Which is kind of me.
Like what my husband just bought me.
It's terrible.
With the computer as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man.
Oh, you guys, it's not just because it's.
Apple Day or whatever. We have Tom on here every Wednesday. I miss you. Oh, we missed you, Tom.
We missed you too, Scarecrow. Yeah, we missed you too. If I only had a brain.
Missed you last Wednesday. I thought of you that day while I was sitting on the deck of a ship playing a steam deck on the deck.
Whoa, look at you. Yeah. Very meta. You just folded in upon itself. Wait, if we say it's very meta, does that imply you were using Facebook now? It does. It does. And I hate that.
It ruined the whole thing. Yeah, it's all gone.
Actually, I do, I kind of hate that they took that name because it ruins it every time I say meta in any context.
Absolutely does.
Ruins it. Jerks. Anyway, hey, but look, even though we were gone a week, we're back, Tom Merritt's here, just happens to be the, you know, one of these big tech days.
Sometimes it's Samsung. Sometimes it's Google. Today's Apple's day. And a big coverage coming up, of course, on the Daily Tech News show later.
But, you know, what are you scouring this morning? Do we have any ideas what's happening with this thing?
Yeah, it's, you know, and probably by the time some people listen to the morning stream,
it'll already have happened so you can laugh if I'm totally wrong.
But we're expecting iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8, and AirPods Pro 2.
They may throw a curveball to us, but this is expected to be your pretty bog standard
September phone watch and one other thing announcement.
And the one other thing is expected to be new AirPods Pro.
Okay.
So do you think this whole, is this going to be one of them,
live deals or is it going to be him walking around with a drone filming him?
Oh, no, people are there. I saw Brian Tongue tweeting moments ago that he is inside the Apple
campus. So we've got folks in the audience sweating like crazy because it's darn hot in
California. So less zooming like drone video footage zooming from Tim Cook over to
yeah. I'll probably still have some of that I'm sure. You know, again, you can you can laugh at us.
we already saw it, but I expect they'll do a nice little mix of keeping some of the tricks
they learned during the pre-recorded announcements and mixing it in with live.
Certainly they won't want to do any demos live that they don't have to, you know.
So it'll be interesting to see what they pick to demo live and what they do show pre-recorded.
We had a great conversation yesterday with IAS Actar on DTNS about this idea of,
upgrading a phone every year like why do manufacturers do it especially because we are not buying
new phones every year anymore at least most of us are right there there are some of you who are
surely surely uh surely is one of them uh and other people not named surely yeah uh but they're all
you know and there's the subscription plans my my wife's on one of those where you can just trade in
your old phone for the new one and you just keep in the same yeah yeah yeah apple has their own
one of those you can go direct uh but but the rest of us generally
early stay on around two years plus, two to three years, basically. So we talked quite a bit about
why you get them introducing a new phone every year. And it's kind of the same reason that you see
new cars updated every year. It's so when you do go to buy, even though you're not going every
year, there's something fresh. You're not looking at a two-year-old model going, well, is it really
that much better? Yeah, that's a good point. I didn't really thought about the car comparison,
but that's exactly the same model, really, as they do with phones.
I'm about, I think I'm due for, I'll be at the two-year on this one, so I think I'm due
for an upgrade.
So I hope what they do is significant today.
I hope it's interesting, but chances are it'll be iterative, right?
Yeah, yeah, there'll be a couple of new little things, but yeah, if you're going
comparisoning, if you're comparisoning, if you're comparing every year, it's not going to seem
revolutionary anymore.
However, if you've kept your phone for three years, you're going to look at this and you're going to see three years of cumulative updates.
And, yeah, it will seem significant.
So that's kind of what they're up to.
I would expect some new colors, bigger screen size.
There's all those rumors that the notch will be separated.
But the notifications for your camera and mic will be in between the speaker and the camera notch at the top.
So it looks like a pill when you've got it on.
But it keeps those notifications out of the regular screen.
So, yeah, it'll be interesting.
We might get a much bigger watch.
They're talking about maybe a 47-millimeter case, like a ruggedized sports watch.
But, yeah, it would be minor things.
I would also like, I know I talked about it the Wednesday before I left on DTNS,
but I would love to see, and I talked about today as well,
but a discounted range of those watches.
I'd love to see them say, in addition to the new rugged one and the black
and the blah and the blah we are also introducing the i the the the the apple watch junior or whatever the hell
they want to call it s e apple watch s e which yeah yeah it's gonna the sce is supposed to take over for the series
three at the budget end then they'll have the the regular series eight as they always do and then this new
bigger one will be the high end i just want the budget end to be a hundred bucks that's what i want
they're not going to do it but i won't they won't they won't do that i'll be curious what what they do on
pricing there it probably won't be revolutionary but you know
People talk about Apple being expensive.
On the watch side, it still is pretty expensive,
but it's also the best-selling one so they can get away with it.
Sure.
On the phone side, everybody looks at the, you know, the top-line numbers for the new phones.
But if you want an iPhone SE or you can still buy older models,
they'll probably retire another one this time.
They generally do.
But usually that bottom model is in the $400 or $500 range,
which is mid-range Android price.
So you can still get an iPhone.
for cheap and the benefit of phones and we talked about this on d tns yesterday too uh when you get them
from apple the i the operating system support generally lasts you know four or five years whereas in
android it's three years for the operating system five years for the security update sure sure
uh and security updates on on iOS can last even up to six nice uh okay well i'm excited we're gonna
get tim cook talking about products and uh that'll happen later today actually
actually in about 45 minutes. I think it starts, something like that. Indeed. It's just about
45, 50 minutes. I'll be sitting here for two hours. Gosh, I hope it's not two hours. I hope not
too. I'm setting my expectation. This is my personal thing. This is not related in any way to the
average consumer who like, you know, can just have this thing on the background, but because I'm
sitting there trying to understand and read between the lines and take notes. I get so annoyed
when it goes two hours. Usually only goes two hours for WWDC. But I'm like, could you just
tell us the stuff.
So I'm going to prepare myself for two hours, assume 90.
And gosh, if they do 60, I'll be really excited.
That'd be great.
It just seems like when they got an audience, they go longer because they got clapping.
Yeah, it's just logistically more complicated.
Does they clap after everything.
By the way, it's got a silicon wristband.
And a metal clasp.
That's pretty good.
Oh, you had music.
They always had music, too, so you're good.
You're on the money there.
Here, that's what I'm doing.
Oh, there you go.
We brought Steve Jobs back and made him a robot.
Woo!
Fantastic.
All right, let's close out with C&C Music Factory.
See and see you next time, everybody.
See and see you next time.
Did you really say C and see you next time?
Did I hear that right?
Oh, I just said C and C and C Music Factory.
See you next time.
I thought you said C and C and C in C.
you next time.
Which is amazing.
That'd be really funny, actually.
That's why I gave you that.
It would have been great.
All right.
Well, Tom, as always, good to catch up with you, and I'm sure today will be a whirlwind
of information.

That's something we cough at. Yeah. Well, awesome. That's later today. Check it out and all
that other cool stuff Tom mentioned. Tom have a fantastic day. We'll see you later.
Thanks, y'all. Bye.
See you.
I wonder how we, maybe we have the same sounding cough, you and I.
Maybe.
You and I have, instead of synchronizing our menstrual cycles, we've synchronized our cough sounds is what's happened.
Yeah, because we don't have the menstrual cycles.
We've got to come up with an alternative.
I get that.
Exactly.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm going to have some coffee.
Oh, good.
Coffee is good for coffee.
While you're grabbing that coffee, I'm going to go, I'll play this thing.
Yes, that's right.
That music signifies one thing and one thing only.
It's time for recommendal.
with Nicole and Randy.
Hello, Nicole.
How you doing?
I'm great.
Are you?
That's fantastic.
Do I sound okay?
Yeah, he's sound fine.
The dog just pooped right behind me.
Oh, no, Brian.
Oh, gross.
I just smelled that.
Right behind you.
I was like smelling and it's like, oh, man.
All right.
You might have to have Randy and Nicole go first because I'm going to deal with this.
We can change up order.
Not a problem.
I'm going to mute my mic and listen without.
have fun. All right, enjoy that.
Speaking of Randy,
hi, Randy. How you doing?
Good morning, morning, stream.
I can follow that.
I have no problem following.
All right, sweet.
That happens.
It does happen.
And when it happens, you do what you have to do and you move on.
It's all fine.
Oh, man, look at him walking around it.
And I, for one, am excited about the Apple event in 45 minutes.
I am too.
I am going to enjoy it.
I don't care if it's more of the same.
I don't care if it's exact same thing with a new number.
I'm going to enjoy the announcement.
I always do.
There's something really entertaining about some nerds getting onto a stage and telling you what they think you want to hear.
Yeah, I get this way with everything.
When Google Io happens, when Microsoft's thing happens, whoever's doing it, I don't care.
I get into it.
I don't like Samsung says they're always really contrived.
I don't like their dumb skits and stuff.
Ender to me.
Yeah, exactly.
Bander to me.
That's a part of entertainment now.
And it has been for a while, right?
You often think of entertainment as like movies and TV and music and stage plays, right?
No, I think there's, I think there's this whole corporate aspect to entertain.
Oh, heck yeah.
Yeah, we should, and we should embrace it.
There should be awards.
Speaking of awards, we all saw things this week that we thought were award worthy or at least
recommendation worthy.
And we are going to change up the order because Brian's cleaning up a poop.
We're going to go, let's see.
I don't think we've ever done this.
No.
It is weird.
It is weird.
He's always been first.
He's always been first.
So I'm going to put who I had next, which is Nicole.
Nicole, you're going first this week.
How's that feel?
That sounds great.
Okay.
I'm recommending what has turned into my favorite summer show.
Oh, lovely.
Originally, we started watching it because the kids were watching it,
because we moved out into the middle of nowhere.
We got Dish Network.
When you say middle of nowhere, can you give me some context there?
What does that mean?
Give us your address.
it just means we're on a gravel road there's not the internet is not that great so as an
alternative i was like i think we're going to have to reconnect that cord as the kids fighting
over youtube and streaming stuff is yeah no like they don't understand that the the internet
water doesn't work yeah no they don't because their their whole lives they've had it they don't
know any better. So going back to a life where it's like, hey, there's this channel that plays with
you not being able to stop it or do anything. It's passive, right? You just turn it on it and it
feed you shows. In a way, in a way you're there. Oh, Brian, look at them picking up to poo.
In a way, in a way you are teaching them a valuable lesson here, I think. About. So we,
so we reconnected that cord over the summer. One of the channels we got was Disney. And
They didn't really understand that it wasn't like Disney Plus where they could just put it on.
Yeah.
And avoid the commercials.
Oh, my God.
You should have heard my kids complaining about the commercials.
I'll bet.
They've lived in a world without them.
They don't know, you know?
I have experienced this with a 12-year-old boy who wants, he just thinks you're supposed to complain like a YouTuber, like a streamer at all times.
Oh, gosh, Dad.
I love that.
I love that kids are going to complain.
in the voice of their favorite influencers.
That's a really, that's a dystopic idea.
They do.
So anyway, I am happy to say that because we reconnected that chord, it introduced me to
this show because Disney plays it quite a bit.
I had known about the show, and it really got into the show, until I was forced to
watch it.
Like, it was on the TV.
Yeah.
Well, let's play a clip.
But it's such a wonderful, wonderful show, and here's one of my favorite clips.
All right, here you go.
Blart, what a funny word.
How rude.
That was weird.
Till you're old and wise.
What's it mean?
I believe it's what's known as a cuss word.
A cuss?
Yes, which is why we'd best erase the word from our memory.
Memory wipe initiating.
I think not, dear sister.
I've spent all my formative years trying to figure out the cusses.
And now I finally know one.
No one what?
Back to your position,
B-B-B-B-B-B-LAR!
Cricot! That's a bad word!
I know. Isn't it hilarious?
Okay.
So, it seems very cute.
I think I would have a good time with this one.
It is such...
So this is Big City Greens, if you're wondering, if you're not familiar with.
You heard Cricket, his sister Tilly, his friend, I don't remember his name, but his friend is rich and has, you cut it off right before Vasquez.
Vasquez is voiced by
the guy from
from Dustal Dawn.
Oh, crap, what's his name?
He has a taco stand.
Oh, you're not talking about Cheech Marin.
No, not Cheech Merrin.
Not Robert Rodriguez.
No, no, no.
Yes, Danny Trejo.
Danny Trejo, duh.
Oh, yeah.
I think of him as having a coffee.
I think of him as having a coffee cafe.
I think of him as having a machete.
Yeah.
But I did have the Danny Trio 650, which was probably the best model of that series.
Danny Trio.
Sorry.
Had the stylus and the color constraint.
He voices Vasquez, which is the little kids bodyguard,
and it's such a great fun dynamic that happens because of it.
It's a wonderful show.
I highly recommend it three seasons.
You can watch it on Disney Plus.
Did you say Big City Green's?
I think it's that right.
Big City Green.
So the last name of the family is Green.
So you have Cricket Green.
Ava calls it the Cricket Show because she loves cricket.
Yeah.
And then you have Tilly, which is his older sister.
You have the grandma.
You have the father who is divorced.
The way this show kind of shows a divorced family is actually quite wonderful.
The mom eventually comes.
comes back in, she's the bat, she's a, she's a biker. She's, you know, cool. She just got it,
she got out of prison. Yeah. But it's so, it's very sweet. Yeah. It sounds great. I love it.
I love it. The sister reminds me, I know it's not her, but I'm getting kind of a Holly Hunter vibe
out of that sister for some reason. Something about that accent, I guess. That whole, that's what they
call it swear. I just, I know it so much. I need a, I need a boy or I need a baby hide. I need a
baby or whatever just what it sounds like anyway that sounds like great times i will watch
big city greens yeah i almost watched uh was it you last who last week uh said to do the flats
one who was that was also flatch was yeah also yeah i almost watched that before some of it
before i went on the cruise and then i thought you know what i'll watch it there because they've got
tv and stuff no their internet suck don't watch any they need it they need to reconnect the cord
there too damn straight they do it was so bad where did you say it's just streaming on disney
Plus, right? Yeah. Yeah, Disney Plus.
But this is very different from Welcome to Flatch. Welcome to Flatch is not for kids.
No, no, no. I knew that. Little kids didn't sit through that. But it's on network.
I'm excited because I like these weird little discovery, sorry, not discovery, weird little Disney animated things that have usually just been on their cable channels that I've never heard of. They're really fun to discover on Disney Plus, you know, forgetting about.
Marvel and Star Wars and everything else for
a second. That thing is rife with like
amazing animated television. It's all
really good. I'll warn you
that if you watch this, the
closing song will get stuck in
your head. Uh-oh.
I got to sweat my eyes.
Oh, sweating your eyes.
You're really selling it. You're really selling it.
I love it when shows try to
try to give me songs too.
Give you a little earworm. It's super cute.
Does it
what was I going to say? I don't remember now.
say had a thing to say now i'm not saying it quick a quick question who's uh who's got a show that
they watched and it put songs in their head forever this one i watched a lot of love boat last
week and it is yeah yeah it's bad i was i was i was thinking uh you know something more like uh i don't
know bob's burgers you know they always have cheers or uh no no i'm talking about when they met their
original song oh i see i see what's a crazy ex girlfriend that's a good one
Okay. All right.
That actually works. I think that's good.
I would say, so it's not a theme.
It would be, oh, oh, I know.
When Scrubs had, what's his name, the lead singer from,
Oh, men at work.
Men at work.
Forget his name.
Colin Hay. That's it.
When they had him do his acoustic stuff on that show, I remember being so, I mean,
they're just their songs, but done acoustically.
I remember being so hooked on those for days that I was.
just humming them all the time. Like all the time. And I didn't even have the doot-dood-do-do-do-do-do-d-d-d-d-
didn't even have it in there. All right. It was mostly overkill was the big one that they did
for that. That's true. Hey, Brian, let's do yours now that you're back from the poo. All right,
sounds good. Yeah. What do you got here? This is a film. This is a film that
Tina and I finally got around to seeing after a long time. And it's one of those things that
that we try to make a rule of always watching
one of these things
or all of these things when they become available
and we waited on this one until just recently.
Oh, all right.
Well, here's your kint.
Now here's your clip.
If you one day will change your taste,
Alma.
Maybe not.
Maybe you have no taste.
Maybe I like my own taste.
It's just enough to get you into trouble.
Perhaps I'm looking for trouble.
Stop.
All your rules and your walls and your doors and your people
and your money and all these clothes and everything.
This, this game.
Everything here.
The whole...
Nothing is normal or natural or everything is a game.
Yes, mister.
Yes?
Well, if it's my...
I don't eat this.
I don't drink that.
If it's my life that you're describing,
it's entirely up to you whether you choose to share it or not.
If you don't wish to share that life,
as apparently it's so disagreeable to you in every respect,
why don't you just f*** off to back where you came from?
That sounded like Daniel Day Lewis.
or something that's exactly who that is okay that's well done yeah that's a phantom thread that is um
2017 film that was a best picture nominee and usually t and i see every try to see every best
picture nominee for whatever reason we skipped this one and um finally came back to it and said oh
we still ever saw a phantom thread uh it's excellent it's so good it deserves um
it deserves being among the films that year that were nominated it definitely doesn't
It doesn't deserve winning, and it didn't win.
But it's, the focus is on a 1950s fashion designer named Woodcock.
What's the guy, the character's name, something Woodcock.
Something Woodcock.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Reynolds Woodcock, who is this extremely talented London fashion designer.
He meets this waitress.
He kind of falls in love with her.
she becomes the model for all of his, his designs, he becomes kind of his muse.
They fall in love, but they bicker and fight.
And he's very, very particular about everything.
And so I've kind of taken on annoying Tina in the house by, you know, by imitating his,
it's entirely too much movement.
You're doing too much movement and it's distracting and you need to stop it.
You can F back to where you came from.
F off back to where you came from.
You know, 2017 was the last, like, huge year in my estimation.
Like, the last year that it was like, oh, this is too many.
I can't choose among three billboards and Dunkirk and they heard.
That was a big year.
Those were all that year as well.
That was the shape of water year.
It was a big year.
So you're absolutely right that this just got completely lost.
Like, I haven't thought about this movie.
years. Yeah, that was a big year for doing it with a fish man. It was my memory of that year.
It really made it, put it in vogue to do it with a fish man.
One of the other notable things, the movie also stars Leslie Manville, who was in
grown-ups and Secrets and Lies and you know her from a bunch of stuff. Vicki Kreps is
who you're hearing in that one. She's the woman that falls in love with Reynolds. She's
from Luxembourg, and that makes her...
Luxembourgish, which I found fascinating, is that if you're from Luxembourg, you're Luxembourgish.
Nice.
Luxembourgian.
Not fully Luxembourgian, but Luxembourgish.
Burgish.
She was in The Girl on the Spider's Web, Hannah, probably a most wanted man, kind of the most popular things.
But the music was done by Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood.
And you hear, you know, you hear this stuff in the background, this classical.
music and you're thinking, oh, this is
really nice, sweet stuff. And you'd
never guess that it's from the same people who brought
you creep and paranoid android
and things like that.
Really, really good music.
This movie gets a little
I don't want to say dark, but man,
it gets intense. You can kind of
hear it a little bit there.
But
it's a really, like
this is a character movie.
You're going to see, you're going to
basically get a lot of great character development and, and, um, interesting backstories
and fully realized, uh, characters that you kind of want to see an entire movie about.
This was his retirement movie, right? He's out after that one.
Is he? It doesn't surprise me.
Uh, yeah. Paul Thomas Anderson. Daniel Day Lewis. Sorry, not PTA.
Oh, yeah. Okay. He had said something to that effect. And it is the last movie he's done,
but it doesn't mean he won't again, I guess.
But there was some interview where he said,
I think I'm out.
Interesting. I didn't know that.
You really got me with Johnny Greenwood.
I didn't realize that he has become the composer of all Paul Thomas Anderson films.
And now I'm looking at it.
And like he composed, there will be blood.
Get out.
Really?
I didn't know that.
By the way, in addition to Paul Thomas Anderson,
he also did all of the original scoring for the power of the dog last year.
Oh.
you know he's he's like he's on fire this guy yeah he actually got and reading that now that
he actually got nominated for um for both phantom thread and power of the dog uh scores so
uh very good here it is sorry uh in june he released his statement confirming that the phantom
thread would be his last film so there you go that's a bummer that guy's great it is a it is a bummer
yeah i wonder if it's cancer like that you never know oh i mean it might have been but i don't know if we need
to jump to that necessarily. But it's got to be
exhausting for him because he is a method
from all accounts, he is
one of those people that does method
acting and so completely gets into
character and that has to just
be exhausting and he
hasn't really churned out crap
Daniel Dave was. He only took good
roles. There's no such thing as crap.
Yeah, the pickiest actor
agent that ever lived.
Yeah.
So what that sounds doing like
is that's a guy getting out when he wants to
get out. I respect that.
you know yeah how many of them do that they'll they'll work themselves to death and he's like yeah i'm good
i've won every oscar i can win i'm out see you right right so uh phantom thread it is i forgot
where it's streaming it is streaming i think HBO max Netflix oh netflix okay cool netflix
very nice phantom thread on netflix uh watch it it's uh it's excellent all right all i'm saying
is if you want to laugh watch big big city green we've covered yours we've talked about yours we've moved on to
you want to laugh a little you want to cry a little i didn't pick up dog shit and listen to big city greens
to have you interrupt my phantom thread discussion with more big city greens that's right
i'd let you finish i'll let you finish how did it go by the way do we have a successful
removal of said dog poo everything went fine yes although the the the scent lingers
there's a phantom there's a phantom scent yeah the phantom scent my favorite star war spin
off i've sprayed the uh i've sprayed the whatever it's called nature's miracle on there and i'm just waiting
a few minutes to
to hit it again with the paper towels and see if I can get
the rest of the scent out of here
because it's bad.
I love how it's just like right behind you.
It's like here's a little gift for you while you're working
and can't do much. Enjoy.
All right. Randy, your turn.
Let's get to you. You got a clip here.
Tell me what we're doing before I play it.
Yeah, so I'm also, so like
everyone, everyone cool,
I got up early Saturday morning
to watch a concert that ended up being six
hours long.
and it made me cry over and over.
And by the time it was over,
I was kind of left wanting.
It was really weird.
I wasn't exhausted by it,
but I didn't want more of that.
Like,
I had enough of that exact thing with,
uh,
you know,
with Dave girl.
And I wanted something that was kind of like that and different.
So I went looking around.
What am I going to watch to sort of like have some closure feeling?
And I,
I came across this.
documentary that's one of the greatest
documentaries ever made. And I
and I was thinking, yeah, there's music
to it and that's like
really interesting aspect of it. But also
like, you know, paying
tribute to someone like Taylor Hawkins,
this is a documentary about
a person who really
like was one of the
greatest in his field
and is actually still alive
this particular one. But anyway,
so I said all that because
this is a really, really short clip because
the entire documentary is in Japanese.
So you're going to hear some Japanese.
I will tell you after the clip what was said.
All right.
Here you go.
Here's some Japanese.
Myn't-che-ch-matter-more,
more,
the train to know where they're going to be the same.
So,
the New Year's Day is the most
too much.
Yeah, I'm going to go ahead.
I'd like to work to,
usually if you're not going to think about it.
That translates to...
He repeats the same routine every day.
He even gets on the train from the same position.
He has said that he dislikes the holidays.
The holidays are too long for him.
He wants to get back to work as soon as possible.
This is hero dreams of sushi.
And it is streaming for you on Amazon Prime.
You should absolutely go watch it,
especially if you haven't seen it in about 10 years.
because it hits different now.
It's so much more somber and kind of sullen than it used to be, for me at least.
And what that's about, by the way, Hero is still alive.
The star of this documentary is now 95 years old and he's still alive.
It's a documentary about the greatest sushi chef that ever lived and how he got to that
position. And it's also about his sons. And his sons are grown men with their own, you know,
purpose in life to make sushi and sort of like sitting in his shadow, although the younger son
escapes it, right? The younger son has gotten out of the shadow of hero. And the older son is
still just there, just waiting for his dad to get out of the way. And, um, and being also being
very respectful and so forth. And it's such a beautiful documentary. And you would
think like the reason that it's so
amazing is because you would think
there's no way that this
this subject matter can make much
right? Oh yeah. It's just like
how could you make much of that?
And what's at the bottom of it
is a surprise ending.
And like all the great documentaries
have a surprise ending.
But like this is such a
unexpected little thing.
And it comes out of nowhere at the very,
very end. And it's supported
by all of this music. There's all of this
Philip Glass music and
Chikovsky music. And of course
that Max Richter song, you know, the Max Richter
song on the
nature of daylight. Is that what it's called?
I don't know. It's in freaking everything.
It's the song at the beginning
and the end of arrival is the
song. Oh, and I know that. I didn't know
who did it, but I know now I know the song you're talking
about. I love, I actually really like that.
It's nice. Yes. Yes, but it's overused.
Yeah. But that song, I
forgot. That song is in Hero Dreams
of Sushi. And as soon as they start playing that
song, I just started like, oh, no,
I'm going to cry like Taylor Hawkins. Oh, no.
But mostly
because a rival
is such a sad movie.
Anyway,
Hero Dreams of Sushi, it's just beautiful.
It's simplistic. The guy who was
talking is a, you know, like the most
famous Tokyo restaurant
critic. And he's
so interesting, you know, like, yeah, you got
to read the screen. Sorry, you got to read
the screen. But just do it. Watch this movie. It's going to make your day all over again.
I really, really love this documentary. So plus one for me. I know Brian really likes it.
It's highly recommended. It's very, very good if you guys haven't seen it. All right. Finally, mine.
Here's my clip. This is what I watched on the boat in a hot tub out on the Lido deck on a giant
screen under the stars. All right. And I loved it. Debbie does. Oh, no. Good.
No, sir. However, they did have a weird mix. They had all sorts of stuff, including some of your recent
recommendals, that Sandra Bullock Tatum Channing thing. Oh, yeah, La City. Yeah, that was on there.
Didn't see the whole thing. But anyway, this one night, we watched this. Here you go.
Alberto Scorfano.
Luca Pangura. Piacere. Trolamo Trombeta.
It's a human thing. I'm kind of an expert.
What does it mean?
The thing you just said?
Come on. I'll show you some more stuff.
Mother of Pearl, you live up here?
Yeah, me and my dad.
He's not even here a whole lot,
so I pretty much just do whatever I want.
Is it dangerous?
Yeah, it's the best.
Everything good is above the surface.
Like, what else?
Air!
So, if it's not familiar to you,
it is Pixar's Luca from 2021.
I didn't see it when it came out
or when it hit Disney Plus originally.
It felt like everybody saw Luca,
but me and I don't know why I just wasn't in a hurry to see Luca I was just kind of like yeah I'll get around to it it just looks like a it looks like a great you know fun Pixar movie and all and I'll get to it well I finally did in a hot tub on the Lido deck and it was a candlestick it was adorable I really really liked it that Jacob Tremblay kid who was in the room or room whatever that was called him and captain uh Captain Power whatever name is
Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel.
I did not escape the room. I did not. Oh, hi, Captain Marvel.
That one. Wrong room. But anyway, he's very good. He plays Luca. This kid named Jack Dylan
Grazer plays his friend Alberto. And basically, it's two fish boys who end up figuring out that they can be on land and become real boys while they're out there.
And my favorite, not stunt casting, but bits of casting were Maya Rudolph and Jim Gaffigan as Luca's parents.
They were fantastic in this.
And it is just a fun friendship movie.
What it means to find friends, have friends, lose friends, and get them back.
And what it means to go through changes and your friends don't always go through them at the same time you do.
And I just felt like there were a lot of lessons to be learned there.
It's sweet.
It's beautiful as usual.
Pixar doesn't make anything that looks bad these days.
but some of the color work in this is just absolutely flooring.
I don't know how they pulled it off, to be honest.
It made me want to capture, I probably will do this.
It makes me want to capture screens from Luca and then build a custom color palette out of it
for when I'm doing digital art and stuff because the colors are so vibrant that I didn't
even know they were on the damn scale.
They're just like insane.
So anyway, Luca's lovely, wonderful, perfect for kids, great for adults.
Your typical, you know, Pixar business, they kind of nail.
it so uh highly recommend it over uh the loveboat uh yes as a if you're saying hey i want a good
two-hour movie that's like awesome and i'll probably want to revisit it than this if you want to
just watch a cavalcade of of trash basically 70s porn 70s porn without the porn if you want
that love boat do that okay good yeah i watched a lot of love boat but i wasn't going to recommend
it okay everybody i wasn't going to do it it's hard to recommend when it has ads like i just
can't well there they had it they had them all on demand with no commercials and so we just at late at
night we would binge watch uh these stupid episodes of loveboat and they weren't even in order they
were just kind of randomly lumped in there and so you'd see a season one one and then one from
season five would show up and oh my god how would you how would you be able to follow the continuity
there's vicky stooping but she wasn't on the last episode yeah there was there was no continuity
in anything we watched and that's good but it is garbage
and trash and totally wonderful and it's all on peacock so i guess or no paramount plus so if you if you're
bored and you want to be like me and ruin your life and watch a lot of love boat with ads with ads
oh the ads on paramount plus i don't want to do that yes and it's it's extreme i don't understand
they're acting like they're running out of money and they need you to watch as much as many ad time
as the time runtime of the show well what am i paying for plus for then those ad mongers what do they
do that for lame universal
of NBC. They have two levels though
you can. Yeah they've Paramount Plus now
doesn't have ads.
Well I have Paramount Plus. I'll just watch the ads.
Wait, so there's Freecock
and Peacock. So Freakoc
there's, yeah, I think there's just the regular
Paramount app, but then there's Paramount. But you're
paying. I'm paying for Paramount Plus
whatever it is. The stuff I watch on Paramount Plus doesn't have ads.
So it might be, there must be another layer.
Yeah, I don't know who knows. But anyway.
It's the same way. You got ad.
Hulu and no ad Hulu.
That's true.
I like no ad Hulu.
I like Netflix too.
Yeah.
No ad Hulu.
Netflix is going to do it?
Yeah, they got a kid since test cities right near our test regions right now.
Oh gosh.
We're about to hear Mount, Mount Spagnolo explode.
Not since 1984 as Mount Spagnolo erupted.
You know what it reminds me of?
It reminds me of that episode of Black Mirror where they're forced to watch the ads to brush their teeth or like I feel like we're having.
edit there.
Oh, we're getting there.
I think Black Mirror's got some ideas that aren't that wrong.
I know.
Yeah.
I think the world is getting ideas from Black Mirror.
Yeah.
I think about that, I think about that episode a lot.
I do too.
Yeah.
Is that the one with the Get Out kid?
Just for that, Nicole, I'm rating you three stars.
Oh, three stars.
Okay.
I'm going to block you entirely.
I hate that episode.
You're just going to be a blur person.
Was that the one with the blur person if you blocked them?
And they made them all blurry.
No, that was the one with Ron Howard's daughter.
Bryce Dulles Howard.
Oh, and everybody was worried about it.
I'm talking about the guy that they're like powering something.
You don't really know.
That was the, that was the get-out guy.
Bicycling, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was the get-out kid.
It's before we saw the get-out kid and anything else, right?
That's his first gig.
No, that's not the get-out.
Oh, yeah, it is.
It's the guy in the chair with the streaming tier going, get out, and he's sinking into the chair.
That's totally him.
100%.
Yep.
I promise you.
I promise you that.
promise you 100% it's that guy all right now we're going to the videotape we're going to
this one end well no I know this stuff it's stupid to know but I know it I'm telling you
hold on where's not get out nope I'm looking for get out all right get out 2017 Daniel Daniel K
K Kluwa Kalua Kalululia if you scroll down to search for black mirror million merits was the
episode million merits 15 million merits was
Him.
Yeah, it was him.
It was him. It's unfortunate.
Now, he's great.
He's that Judas and the Black Messiah.
He's the Black Panther guy.
He's great.
We like it.
Not the Marvel Black Panther guy, but the Black Panther movie.
Well, he was in Black Panther also, the Marvel.
Oh, he was, right.
Yeah, I was thinking of the film about the formation of the Black Panther.
That's hilarious because it never occurred to me that he was in both a fictitious comic book adaptation of Black Panther.
And a Black Panther movie, but you're right, he's in both of those things.
And on the dreadful rankings for how dreadful, how much dread there is in any given episode of Black Mirror, this is only the 14th most dread of the episodes of Black Mirror.
So 15 million merits is practically a Hollywood love story.
Like it's not dreadful at all compared to the others.
Yeah, that one, it stuck with me too, though.
I'm with you, Nicole.
It was like, I don't know.
You know, there are certain shows.
in life that kind of like for whatever hit you so like for me i saw there was like a thread talking
about what was the the show that you think about even to this day for me it was an episode of
amazing stories about this woman that could stop time and i think about that still
an alfred hitchcock presents where uh this woman in prison befriends the the coroner who's
always shipping caskets out and out of the prison. And she helps him get a new pair of
glasses. He can't get through the red tape so he can't get his glasses. And she has someone on
the outside who helps who helps her get glasses for him. And in return, he agrees to put her in
one of the caskets, wait till she's out of the prison and then go dig her up. And so she
crawls into the casket. They ship her out of the prison. They bury her. And he never
shows up never shows up finally she lights a little uh cigarette lighter that she has with her
and she's in there with no jeez i don't now that's gonna stick with me and i haven't even seen it
damn dude that's hardcore scott you should see it though i will see it i love that stuff so
i'm a big like make you think you don't need to see it now i've spoiled it for you well yeah but i
love stuff stuff that makes me think stuff that makes you you know question i like i'm i'm a
fan so anyway yeah so there you have it those are our recommendations for today and luckily for

that hasn't been sadly this time it was um it was uh viscous viscous sure or or yeah fluid
uh oozy um a soft serve yeah soft serve yeah sure sure sure
Twist cone.
Exactly.
Yes.
They had one of those on the ship where you could just get a twist cone any time you wanted out on the Lido deck.
And I may have done that too many times.
I might have done that.
Oh, no.
There's a problem when it's like any time of day, you can just go get yourself a soft serve.
Anything you want.
They got pizza there.
They had hot dogs and burgers and all this crap all in the same deck, the same level, the same everything.
The food was insane.

Okay.
Brian Young wrote in and said, I'll be starting the last year of my 40s on September 9th.
That's all he said.
Just right there.
That's it.
That's all of it.
Okay.
Well, okay.
He also said that he'd like to hear a cover of a Stone Temple Pilot song.
Uh, well, I've got a good one here. Um, this is, uh, uh, by a performer named M. Griner. Now,
M. Griner had a radio show on the CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Company for quite a while, a cover song show.
She started hers after mine. I started mine first. Just, uh, you know, so you know, just order it up.
Sure. Sure. Uh, and I never got to listen to hers, but she did put out a great cover album called Girl Versions. And, um, and this is one of the songs from that album.
In 2001, M. Griner and her cover of Stone Temple Pilots, Big Bang Baby.
Got a picture of a photograph of a wedding and a shirt.
