Scary. Starting to feel more comfortable around you. They're starting to show themselves. Do you have any interest in, this just reminds me, You have any interest in the Rob Zombie, not Adam's family, but the other thing. The Monsters, the Monsters. I have more interest in the Disney Hunan Mansion movie, the new one. They're redoing it.

I guess it would be the third time because first they had the Eddie Murphy one, then they had the Muppets one, and now they have another one. I'm a little bit interested in the Rob Zombie Munsters, sure. I am a little bit, too. It's supposed to be PG, which is right. Is Rob Zombie capable of anything other than our? I don't know how he... I guess his wife is not going to be doing any nudity in this one.

Nope. Nope. He doesn't need to call her in for a couple of booby shots. Doesn't need to happen. No. But speaking of booby shots, we're here, me and Brian. And we're going to kick things off real quick here because Dunaway, our pal that joins us each and every Tuesday, or sorry, Monday and Wednesday to play a little game, has to go early because

he has a meeting. So we're going to accommodate that. and bring him in right now. Have a contest. Guys, get your phones ready. 801-47-1-0-4-6-2. This is happening now. Welcome to another edition of Tadpooley Feud.

can have to predict the answers that they gave us so that their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Our future caller, 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 XCOM complete

pack. Wow! That's a lot of stuff right there. The package. Yes, and hidden and dangerous action pack. Both of those, courtesy of Joshua Stacy. Oh, very nice, John. I was there. Thank you for Oh, geez, that was loud.

Sorry. The York Commissioner Stacy. Yeah, Commissioner Stacy. And your sister, Gwen. And Gwen, Stacey, exactly. Someone grab her before she breaks her back. Okay. Hey, check it out.

Oh, we have a listener. It's someone on the line. Hi, thanks for holding. Who's this? It's September, 9 of 12. September. All right. So do you say September or do you say september?

How do you do it? Ember. Ember, just ember. Okay, that works. Oh, Ember's nice. That's the color of my energy. No, that's Amber. Anyway, it's good to have you here, September,

and also it's your happy birthday month, so I know really late, but it gives me a chance to say happy birthday again. I guess it was back on the sixth, but happy birthday. I hope you enjoy your 9 of 12. Brian, you've explained it all, so let's do it.

Let's lay it out there. Let's jump right into it. Put your hands on your buzzers. We asked 804 Tadpoolers to give their best answer to this. Seems appropriate. This one really just randomly came up today, so there you go. Take it for what it's worth. Sure.

Name a Disney movie villain that is not from Marvel or Star Wars. Scott. Curella DeVille is what I could think of. That was the way I was going to say. Were you really? Wow. I don't know. I felt like I pulled that out of nothing.

The button disappeared just as soon as you said it. Yeah. Well, that's what I do. Something don't scare you. Body odor will. Okay. Curella DeVille. Show me,

Cruella. Cruella DeVille. Number two. Curella. Curella DeVille. All right, Brian, you can maybe beat that. I don't know.

One answer will beat it. Who do you think the Tate will name as their Disney movie villain that is not from Marvel or Star Wars? Oh, geez. I'm going to go with Ursula.

Everybody's talking about. I've gotten a little more lately. Oh, damn it. It's in my head. I can't help it. She's crazy octopus lady. Who doesn't know the word for feet? Show me Ursula.

Yes. No one answer on the board. Really? Three more people said Ursula than Crowell de Valle. I'm a little shocked by this, to be honest. I don't know why. Both of these are like good villains. I thought they'd be lower in the list.

That's weird. Hey, who am I supposed to be helping? You're now you're helping done away. You're going to be joining Brian. You're helping me. Yeah. Yes. Help that poor man.

Are you supposed to be helping? Nobody until right now. Now you're supposed to be held right. Brian Donnelly. All right. All right, you two. It's all yours. Go for it.

Lots of answers on the board. Lots of points to be had. Brian and September. What, uh, name of Disney. Yeah. Let me, let me, let me find out some real quick. For a September. Are you, are you, are you, are you a Disney fan by the many clamshell boxes you've

collected for videotape, or are you older than that or younger than that? What's you got, September? What's your... I used to work at Disney World in the early 90s. Oh, my Lord. Oh, my God. Look at you with the knowledge. She's one of us.

Yeah. Hey, can you hook me up with a fertility idol from Indiana Jones? Yeah. You saw some contacts back there. Somebody at Futureland or whatever the hell that was. What's it called? The Big Ball. Adventureland is where Indiana Jones hangs out. Oh, is that where that's at?

And tomorrow land is what you're thinking of. What am I? But what's the one in, what's the, oh, Epcot? He's at MGM Studios at World. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I'm thinking at Epcot, the big ball. You should go in there and say, damn it, I'm 9 of 12. Give me my free idols. That's what you should do. The big balls.

Just walked into the big ball. All right. Brian, September, what have you got? Yeah, give us a pick. Give us something, September, what you got? My favorite would be maleficent, but I think Jafar is someone that. I've always stuck with people in the tad pool. Jafar's pretty good.

Jafar. Jafar was amazing. Aladdin was my favorite film, Disney film for the longest time. I love Aladdin. It's awesome. Yeah, it's still good. All right. Jeffar.

Show me both Jeneer and Jafar. Three. Number three on the board, 124. Oh. Like that Jafar. Now, keep in mind, you've got a total of four points so far, so you're top of the list here. serving you well.

This is low-hanging fruit right here. You need some biggies. Yeah. Which tells me a little bit about the tadpool. I'm just trying to figure out where their head is it. Yeah, yeah. Because I would have all thought these would have been like middle answers. But I'm seeing that they're thinking like me.

It kind of tells you the relative age of the, at least, if not of the tadpool, at least of the people who answer tadpooly feud questions. Can I go with one? I'll tell you my favorite one of my favorite bad guys The guy I love to Love to hate Everybody hates Gaston

But they all love him too I love Gaston Nobody loves like Gaston Nobody You know With his chest full of hair And he shows his chest I love that

That's great Maybe and the Beast came out They put like Beast stuff in the villain's shop They used to have And like he wasn't Yeah Gaston

No, he was never the villain. I know. No. I agree. That was weird that they did that. They always bugged me. It's like they assume nobody saw the movie or something. It's because, you know, at first, he scares the crap out of Bell.

And so he's kind of a villain that joins her side to take down the evil guest. You know, Disney team up. All right. Show me Gaston. Gaston. Number six. There's a point. There we go.

we get some points there's some there's some midland answers yeah yes you're on the back five september do you do you have one i have another one if not oh i i mean i have plenty uh well we still haven't used the leppocin you should use it there you go we should lose we should use it up she's she's uh you got to love to hate her and hate to love her yeah yeah yeah she with the horns saw her all over the place um this last trip both people cosplay but that's me oh really like she's a she's uh i remember that's interesting cosplay of a maleficent is not what i expected oh yeah oh she's she's easy to you just get the horns you get uh you get a big cape you walk around looking all angry is she the is she or is something else the deadpool of d23

like what what is the most common thing you saw that's a good question uh you like the the las vegas strip minions of d23 basically yeah who do you uh who do you end up seeing the most do you think you know who we saw the most it's the weirdest thing the um uh the little cub scout dude from up oh there were a lot of people dressed as uh whatever that kid's name is i'm that's great i'd love that that's actually really unique and interesting hmm all right sorry russell is that it russell russell let's go with uh let's go with molyssifiland uh here you go mount malifisto male phyto male fight Here is a show me male fikent.

Oh, nice. That's how I how to spell it, because is it like, is it E or I or I or E or A? Yeah. Yeah. You guys are running the board here. You guys really are. Yeah. I'm impressed.

It's a gumwin. Yeah. If I were done away, I would rely on night of 12 more. That's what I would do. So far, five answers left on the board. You guys have already named five of these. No strikes from anybody yet. Right.

September, you got another one in the barrel there? I think if we are going to be prepared, we should use SCAR. Yes. Yes. We're on the same page. Okay. All right. Show me your SCAR.

SCAR. Oh. Number four. Wow. Wiped out the entire left side of the board. All of the low-hanging fruit has been. The easy pickings. The easy pickens.

Yeah. You know who it would be a good scar voice? I know that, you know, Chewy-Tel, Fezzedafor did a pretty good job on the new one. But if you're going to do it, so you got Jeremy Irons, you got edged of four. Now, who's what you do in the future? You get that, you pull out that Willem to Foe fella and you get him to do it. He'd be great. Oh, sure.

He'd be great. I don't know who's voicing or if he's even going to make an appearance in the new Mufasa film that was announced. Oh, yeah. I assume, well. I shouldn't assume anything because the Mufasa film Probably not James Earl Jones again It's probably something else Mufasa

Yeah Simba look out onto the thing Simba You look in front of you Yes Simba You see an end Now collapse on the cliff and make the word sex pop up

I am your father Yes I know I am your father Yeah I know No I'm aware All right I got you I got you On the board.

Okay. What are you thinking? My kids... What you got, September? My younger kids, they're younger. They're 1821. Right. Their favorite is Emperor's New Groove.

And Isma is pretty damn... Yeah. She's pretty good. So good. We just watched this with Van the other night. It holds up, man. That movie's freaking great. It's so good.

You want to go with her? One of my favorite David Spade things. Oh, by far for me. I mean, it's great. Yeah. Who did the voice of Yisma? Isma was Eartha Kitt from... Eartha Kitt.

That's right. One of our bat girls. Yeah, one of the few bat girls from back in the day. She was great. All right. Oh, my gosh. She was so good. Show me.

Come over, Coverville. Hi, greeting citizens. I'm Coverville. All right, here we go. Show me. Show me, Isma. Oh. Oh, that's a shame.

What I say, did I say bad girl or did I say Catwoman? You might have said Catwoman. What did you say? I thought I said Catwoman. Can I not say Catwoman? We knew cat. I knew what you meant if you said it wrong or whatever reason it passed through me if you didn't say it right. So I knew what you meant.

Listen, I, you know, Lee Merriweather, Eartha Kit, uh, Ann Hathaway, uh, Hallie Bury, uh, Julie Neumar. Yeah. Oh, I did say Batwoman. I'm sorry. Yeah, definitely meant, uh, oh, you meant. Pat. Dice Bato says I said bat girl.

Larry Canobey says I said bat woman. Get it. Get straight. Come on. In the chat room, please put their heads together and come up with... Yeah, get in there. Exactly.

All right. So it's my turn. I should have... I should have been thinking about this more while these two are working on. I was so excited. We just could run the whole board, didn't you? I was just so excited. I thought, well, they're never going to do anything.

Um, okay. I'm going to go with, um, uh, oh gosh. Uh, my brain is really. hurting. Why can't I think of suddenly anything at all? Let me think of the movie instead. Okay, so I'm thinking a shit.

Wait, does Pixar count? Or can you tell me that? Pixar does count? Okay, so Pixar counts. Let's do the kid next door on Toy Story. Sid. Sid. Let's do Sid.

Oh, I forgot to mention, by the way. Number 12 was was Isma. So really close to being in the thing. All right. Show me, Sid. What? Sid number 17.

That's good with them. Get the feeling they may have gone heavy, Disney, low Pixar on here just for the nature of the question. I probably, I probably shouldn't think of Pixar too much. You never know. All right. Back over to you guys. What do you think about the evil queen from Snow White's? Is that our group?

September, you think, are the tadpoolers? Are they down with that, you think? Is that Maleficent? That's her, isn't it? No, no, no. Sleken Beauty. Oh, Sleep in Beauty. Right, right, right. Yeah. Although cast members just say Snow Queen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Snow Queen.

That's right, because that's what they did a, they did the movie based on it, too, because they thought they would get her the Maleficent out of it. That's right. Oh, really? I didn't know that. I know her is the evil queen. All right. That's why I know her, too.

Yeah, she's the evil queen. You go and do that, do that? Is that your, is that your guess? The evil queen, the apple dealer. Yes. Okay. The apple drug dealer. Show me, the evil snow queen.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's a shame. That's a shame. Number 13 on the list, just out of the top 10. Okay. Back over to Scott. Uh, my brain is scrambled cheese at the moment. No eggs, just cheese.

Um, all right. Let's, uh, let's go with, uh, uh, Uh, I don't remember their name. That's work. I already took that one. Quit saying Corello DeVille. You're throwing me off here. Uh, who was the bad guy in, uh, ah, shit. Nah, shit. Uh, I don't remember names is the problem.

Okay. You know what? I'll just do something weird. Let's go with the who shot Bambi. Was there a character name or is it just a... Oh, his name was Hunter. Oh, all right. Then I'm going to do Hunter. The hunter who shot Bambi's mom or whatever

dad or whatever it was. Yeah. Show me the hunter. What done shot Bambi's mom? Yeah. Damn it. The dear hunter. That was in the list. Let's see. It's like... It's pretty villainous.

you know very villainous yes exactly like uh i can't find it i don't think it a name did he i don't think he no he was really just called hunter or the hunter that yeah that's what i was thinking yeah yeah all right well it's your game to wait september do you have one i go go ahead yeah i don't think i think there's so many disney ones i don't know if going with pixar it didn't work out for scott he went with sid and that's one of the biggest baddies they have

What about... There's another one I can think of that might, but what about Hades? Oh, Hades is good. That's the perfect. I do love Hades. Yeah, it's the only thing that makes me like James Woods, you know? Right. It's the only likable thing about James.

Because he's such a giant pud, but that role is so good. He's so freaking good, in that. Yeah. It's almost like it really is, Hades. Yeah. Hades. All right. Show me.

Hades. yeah man you guys are gonna win there was some great haides cosplay at uh d23 couple people had it and they had the the fire in his hands and his hair lit up like they had a blue wig with lights inside it stuff cool like the blue hair flame stuff that's awesome yeah yeah all right

I'd be captain now. Who's the hookman now? What do you think about that in September? Yeah. Okay. That was an excited response. Rolling with the hook man. Show me, El Capitan Hook.

Oh. Number eight on the list. Look at that. Nice. That might do it. That might put a pin in the, in the wind here. But, by the way, pin, the enemy in the movie up. Oh, yeah, pin.

Oh, really? Sharp pen, yeah. Oh, no. Because the balloon. Yeah, Rose Bush, the Rose Bush, greatest enemy of all balloons. That's right. Two electrical wires. Hot sun, hot sunny day.

I love it do it all right do it show me show me that tiger Shir Khan Khan con oh no

that's a shame well good news is Scott no matter what you do here September wins. So you could run the board and September still wins and you could do nothing in September still wins. All right. One of my favorite villains.

I do like the idea of Madam Mim. That was pretty good. That was pretty good. My favorite, one of my favorite villains of all Disney. Oh, Shercombe, by the way, number 11, just out of the top time. Go ahead. Nice. Oh, that's good to hear.

It was that high. That's a good one. Yeah, very high. One of my favorite voices of all time was the voice of Clayton and Tarzan by Brian Blessed. I love that guy. We're going to take the ape man back and make millions of dollars, Jane. That guy was great.

So I'm going to go with that, dude. With Clayton. Sure, all right. Show me Clayton. Shit. Oh, well, you exit before you finish that. Yeah, I basically had my finger over that one. Nobody, surprisingly, nobody mentioned Clayton.

I'm kind of amazed by that. That is funny. A lot of people in the chat room had these last two. show me number nine Cinderella's stepmother or step-sisters I'm not a step-mom either yeah those are good

yeah and finally the only Pixar one on the list but a darn good one syndrome yeah oh okay when everyone's super

nobody is blah kind of rounding out some of the other bigies king candy from wreck at Ralph Prince Hans of the Southern Isles from Frozen

the Queen of Hearts Chernabog, that cool gargoyle thing from Fantasia. J.C. Calhoun says Ein Rand should be one of them. Sorry, not a Disney villain. A villain, but not a Disney villain. Dr. Faciliere? I don't know who that is.

Is that Princess and the Frog? Oh, that's such a good movie. He's also the horror. He's the dark or the shadow something? he's the horror I thought there was something else Emperor Zerg somebody just said

Oh Shadow Man you're right Shadow Man and it was played by Keith David played him and he was amazing Right He was amazing yeah Emperor Emperor Zerg I said A lot of people just put names of movies They didn't read fully

So we have Canto frozen Lion King Mary Poppins One person said Mary Poppins is a villain Yes Yeah adulthood Two people said Walt Disney himself is a Disney movie villain.

Well, he didn't love the Jews. We know that. We know that. And all of Mongolia from Milan and Bob Chapec, Disney CEO. I would 100% agree with Bob Chepachey. Somebody also said Grosser from Gross Point Blank. Oh, that's amazing. Hollywood Pictures is a Disney franchise.

That's right. The greatest villain of all Disney history is grosser. I agree. Throw this list away. That's it. That's the answer. That's amazing. What's more amazing is that you've won over there, September. So check this out. Congratulations. You're a winner. You know how to get a hold of Brian. So you know what to do.

Codes are in your discord right now because you and I have a discord channel. So there you go. Very nice. That's fast.

Well done, and congratulations, and happy belated birthday. Hey, Brian Dunaway, you know what we did yesterday. We recorded a show all about Zelda 1 and 2, two very, very, very different video games from each other. People may not even remember this. Like, I think a lot of people's memory is like, oh, on the NES, yeah, there were two games and they were a lot alike. And no, they weren't. They were nothing alike. One is a 2D scrollers and the other one is two very different worlds.

and we got into it. Talked about the origins of the great Zelda series and had a real fun time on Play Retro. So go get the show. Play Retro wherever you get your podcast. If you like retro video games and retro content, boy, howdy, do we have good news for you? Yeah, gobble it up.

And also, if you're a patron supporter, you may be getting that PS Classic we've been given away. Have you already pulled the name on that thing yet? No, not yet, but today is the day. I'm going to give it to a happy patron over there. and they'll walk away with a big fat PS, PS1 classic

that they can then hack actually very small. It's very small but you can you can then hack it and put some other cool shit on there. You know? That's what I recommend. And then Dunaway, you got like two minutes to spare for your meeting. I love what we did for you today. This is great. Perfect. Yeah. Thank you guys again.

How does that feel? Do you feel good? It feels pretty good. No, you. Okay, I guess our butts. I was trying to trick him. He knew what I was doing. Shoot. He knew what I was. what's doing we've done this too many times yeah yeah you know i mean come on we know we know i got to change it up man i got to find a new way yeah uh okay let's see you know it'd be fun to find out outside of john ratsonberger sure who is the most common voice in disney movies like i was

thinking about the day because wayne knight shows up a few times um what's her name from uh cars and Oh, geez. You know, there's that woman who does the voice of Prince or Queen Leota. No, what's her name? Leota from Ray Leota. Ray Leota, exactly. From the grade. From the Granted Mansion.

And she was like an animator that had a, Madam Leota. Thank you. Oh, okay. She had a lot of, she was an animator, but they loved her voice so much. I think they used her voice. a lot in early early movies and stuff yeah entirely possible um i'm thinking the one i was thinking of was uh bonnie hunt she shows up a lot um i really like her but i don't know that she's so somebody out there probably could find this i'd be really curious jim cummings says the chat he does

a lot is he the one that does um yeah he's you know what he's he's probably yet he's the one that does winnie the poo and freaking tigger and uh even modern stuff he was the uh the guards for aladdin he was a bunch of stuff scarlet johansson's in nine no this woman by the way so eleanor oddly is her name right the woman who does the voice of madame leota yeah she was the voice get this of maleficent in sleeping beauty yeah the evil queen and lady tremaine uh the evil stepmom in cinderella wow so really pegged her lots of villains for that woman yeah yeah she was the one you went to uh we said not Ratsenberger the Wraith. Try and keep up. Okay? Yeah. Actually, Ratsenberger may have the record. I don't know. I know he does for

for Pixar movies, but I don't think that obviously doesn't extend Disney in general. So I don't know. All right. Well, look at what we've done. We've done it. And now it's time for the news, which we haven't been able to do all week. So this is actually good. We'll do some news now. It's the news. And it's brought to you by. Too many cheez-its. All right, look at this. This is... Did you eat a whole box of Cheez-Its got?

No, but I'm going to make an argument here. So I did what you always say to do. Whoops, that's not the camera. There we go. Clearly you didn't because you have the whole box down there. Oh, man, that's a thick box, too. That's like family size, isn't it? That's my point.

Oh, it does say family size on top. Oh, it doesn't actually say that. Oh, that's you're right. So this is a massive box of white cheddar cheez-its, which are great. Yeah. I love them, but you want to have them in small doses, right? I don't want to go nuts with a box like this. So what I did is like you suggested, I got a little bowl, and I poured a little of these in there.

But I just have this question about this box. I guess now that I see family on there, okay, maybe I'll let it pass. But this is as big as like a cereal box. It's monstrous. And the idea. It's for people who know that they're going to want a lot of small bowls of cheese-its to bring down to their desk. I guess so. Why do I have to keep buying small boxes of chees-ins?

I wonder if anyone out there, if you could do, like, Hey, weed smokers, if you do enough weed, could you eat a whole one of these? I'm thinking. I think you could. Sure, sure. Get the munchies like something fierce. Anyway, that just seems insane to me that this exists. I don't know why.

Yeah, it's probably cheez-its are probably the, you know, the national, the state flour of Colorado right now. They've changed the state flour to an edible. Yeah, there used to be a Columbine. Now it's cheez-its. Maybe you just lace these directly. Can you get powdered THC? Is that a thing you can do? Oh, yeah.

You just like a mainline it right into your system. Why not? Sure. Why not? I had somebody the other day say, how big was your Vegas dose? I said it was point five, half of a 10 is what I had there at the show. And they laughed at me. Of your Vegas dose?

Wait a minute. What? I'm going to understand what you just said. When we were in Vegas and I ate that gummy. Oh, oh, the dose you had, the gummy bear you had. Yeah, yeah. So I ate half a gummy bear. That was that half of.

that half, or wasn't a bear, just a gummy, that half thing was, was 0.5, or he was half of a 10 milligram gummy. Gotcha. So, that was enough to make me feel crazy. He laughed at me and said, you're a lightweight.

I do 60 minimum. He says 60, I do 60 at a minimum, 150 average. Wow. That seems insane to me. I wonder if he ramped up to that. Like, he basically,

started to develop a tolerance and um must have or and just you know started out at five but like over time had to uh keep increasing to feel something right uh i didn't mean point five diced tomato but thanks for the correction i mean half when i said point five i just meant five yeah five milligrams he had point five of a gummy yeah yeah that's what i had uh but but yeah like and a lot yes it does sound expensive, Bobby Franks, but 150 would mean 10, no, that's 15 regular gummies? How are you, how, who's doing that? Yeah, yeah. I don't know if I'd buy it now that, now that I think about the math, that guy might have been cheesing me for nothing. For all I know, he's never done any of it. Just, you know, like if he just needs to be unconscious for a day, then 15 gummies and

boop. Yeah, you're out. Yeah, you're good. I guess you can't really OD on the stuff. So more power to you, I guess. Hans Jackson says 20 milligrams is enough to get me rolling from clock out to bedtime. Wow. Clock out, clock out to bedtime. I love it. So that's what, leaving work, going home, hitting the couch? Nice.

Pulling the tail of that bird that goes, woo! And then sliding down the back of that dinosaur into his car. Yep. Now that's all I can see. Fred Flintstone. The saber-toothed tiger out, who then jumps on the window and puts you out and locks the door. Yeah. Fred down in 2,000 milligrams of...

Down in dummies. Yeah. That's right. Okay, so BioCal says 150 milligrams is approximately $32 in Washington State. But that's, you know, you're going to get the effect of, what, three drinks probably? I don't know. That seems like maybe a deal if you're really into it. I don't know.

There was a lot of weed place. Everywhere we went, big weed dispensaries. on the ship, not on the ship, but off the ship. So like, in Alaska. Alaska, Washington State, of course, and in Victoria, Canada, everywhere. But they had all these rules where you couldn't bring them on the boat. Sure.

Because you got to federally regulate open lanes and stuff, and you can't, the federal stuff. And they have a dog sniffing you as you got on the boat and stuff? We had a sniffer on the way in. Uh-huh. One in the airport, one at the ship, and then nothing on the way out, which I thought was interesting because it's on the way out that I think people would have gotten their weeds. That's a towel-sniffing dog, is what that is.

Oh, that's not a drug sniffing for towels. Ooh, I didn't take a towel this year. I don't know, my towel days are over. I'm worried about RFID chips in towels, so I don't think I'm doing that anymore. Really? Did they do that? They do. A lot of hotels put RFIDs.

I think Vegas is like the most use of that. That's crazy. And it doesn't like, it doesn't get destroyed in the dryer? Because you think the heat of the dryer would. I mean, I can see the water or not having an effect, maybe, but... I'd heard of that before, and I assume it's true, but now that you say it, maybe,

has this always been an urban legend about towels getting RFID chips? Is that just their way of keeping me? USA Today, February 6, 2015, yes, your hotel knows that you just stole that towel because they put a, they sewed a microchip into it. Oh, there's another one. Oh, yeah, so there's tons of stars about it.

According to Linen Tracking Technology Executive, company called Linen Tracking Technology, right there. Wow. Oh, yeah, and Gadgett has a whole article on it. For millions of travelers, zub, zub, zub, zub, zub, zzab, zab, zab, zab. Oh, since 2011, they've been doing this. Wow. Okay, well, see?

I'm not paranoid. No, but I mean, you know, what scans the RFID chip? Like the door on the way out of the hotel or something? I assume that's where it would go off, right? Yeah, that's a great question, would it? Yeah. How do they... All right, so you've got an RFID chip.

Now what? Yeah. Now what? They just know you took it. They're going to send a team after you to reclaim it, says Bobby Franks. That sounds great. That would be fun. That's a movie just waiting to happen.

Like Pops and Recline explains hotels to us. You're paying to use the room. Don't take towels or bed sheets or furniture. No, we know. Thanks, Pops and Recline. Thanks, Pops. We're aware. Popsplaining is what he just did.

Wait, are you telling... This is the first I've heard. this that I can't go to a hotel and just take whatever I want. Are you kidding? Okay, but now, now what about rental cars? That's mine, right? Yeah, you get to keep that. Whatever's in the glove box. It's yours. Can I take the seats out in their mind? Yeah, the knob, the stick knob, take that with you. Take it all. Take whatever gas is left, you know, siphon it. It's your car. You paid for it. Here's your stories of the day. You know, we knew about the queen. The queen passed. We haven't talked about it. We really haven't. Yeah.

But the queen passed away. And we put a two-week moratorium on Scott Singh-Philip in the Queen's voice. We'll be back to it. Back to October, folks. I'm no longer. I had to put it off for a bit after Philip died. And then it was back. And then now it's off again.

So just be patient, everybody. Claire Gag, thank you. Anyway, here's the deal. The Royal beekeeper had to inform the Queen's bees that her majesty had died. Okay. This is an actual thing. They've got to go out and officially tell the bees. Like, yo, bees.

Your queen has passed. Yo, bees. Yo bees. Do they actually say it using words or does the beekeeper, like, spin around in circles and waggle his butt and then, like, stop and then waggle his butt a different way and then, like, spin around in a circle and... Sting something with a, or poke something with a stick and then die quickly after. Yeah, you know, that's how bees tell you where the, like, tell each other where the honey is. Yeah. They're like, the drones fly back into the hive and go,

uh, a, need, need, need, need, need, need,

need, need, a bee impression. That was for the audio folks. That was me waggling my butt and spinning around in a circle. It was a bee impression. And I've never seen you do one before. So that was fantastic.

Anyway, the royal, the royal beekeeper, which is a job. It's a little thing. And an arcane tradition thought to date back centuries has informed the hives, kept in the grounds of the Buckingham Palace. and Clarence House of the Queen's death.

The bees have also been told in hushed tones that their new master is now King Charles the third. To which half of them barfed out some more honey. Like, blah. Sorry, I've heard the news. Blah! Just barfing and shitting all over the palace. King Charles, Charles in charge, by the way.

Do you notice that? Got a little Charles in charge going on. That's kind of funny, actually. I don't want Charles in charge of me. me. Either Scott Bayo or Charles. Anyway, the official palace beekeeper John Chappell, age 79, told mail online how he traveled to Buckingham Palace and Clarence House on Friday following the news of the Queen's death to carry out the super superstitious ritual. He placed black ribbons tied into bows on the hives, home to tens of thousands of bees, bees, before telling them, literally informing them that their mistress had died and that the new man. master would now be in charge.

He then urged the bees to be good to their new master, himself once famed for talking to plants, which I don't remember this at all, was Charles famous for talking to plants at one point? I don't remember this either. I don't remember. He was cussing out a pen the other day. Did you see that video by chance? No. He got a pen to sign some decree, you know, some bullshit performative thing.

Yeah. And he's signing it and he's like, ah, bloody pen, something pen pen pen, this pen sucks. give me a proper pen and it was like making people bring him a pen it was great this is like an act of i'm not going to be the pushover don't worry i know you're all worried about me ah pen yeah it was great it reminded me like these people really don't do anything they just are sitting around you know at least at least it felt like the queen was an ambassador all the time whereas charles where's he even been what's he been doing like sitting around pulling his ears going, hey,

Camilla Khan or whatever your name is. What's her name by Camilla Khan? You're not as hot as Diana was. She's Ms. Marvel. Exactly. The Queen Miss Marvel is what she is. Well, anyway, the strange ritual underpinned by an old superstition that not to tell them of the change would lead to a bees not producing honey, leaving the hive or even dying. So that's the old superstition. It's old, it's old school.

man it's like the you know probably henry the 8th or whatever was talking to bees yeah they probably they probably could uh analyze that because whatever it it cost to fly uh john chapel all over the the country to tell the bees that mum is dead yep yeah the mum is the queen mum is dead hey canada do you guys oh i have a question for canada so i should do it proper hold on canada do you guys have to change your money do you have to like get a different picture on Yeah, that's what I hear. Yeah. It is currency, not pastency.

Yeah. Good point. Current is right in the damn word. It's right in the damn word. So both Canada and the UK have to change their money, don't they? But that seems crazy to me. Expensive and silly? Yeah.

What a waste. Well, I assume it's maybe they do it over a long period of time. And could they just issue everybody a Sharpie and they'll just like draw some big years on the queen. Love it. Call it Charles. Yeah. Give it a little gray side Bernie business.

Have her holding a pen going, damn pen or something. So it's legal tender until it wears out. The new stuff, everything new will be printed. Okay, that makes sense. That makes sense. You're not going to throw the money away. You're just going to. Everybody turn in your pounds.

All right. That's interesting. So I wonder if it's more, is it more collectible with the queen on it right now? Like if you have some, would you hang? on to some, I wonder, just to, you know, oh, I have some, I have a dollar with the queen. Yeah, why not? They're just called dollars, Canadian dollars, right? I think. Yes. Yeah. All right. Yeah, Washington died a long time ago. See, that's what I'm saying. We don't do that here. I'm really glad we don't. I don't want to put modern presidents on our ship. No, no, we don't need the current. Like, every four years, we'd have to change the, change the money. And by the time it rolls out, we'd have a new president.

Yeah, and that would suck. And you'd have like, even if you went the full eight years, As just about every president recently has gone eight years, except for one recently. Oh, one, yeah, we haven't. It's actually been a while since we had. It's been a while since we had a full eighter, or a full, oh, sorry, a short four, which I think is who, Bush Senior. Bush Senior, right? Was the last one? No, I think he did.

That's not saying. Oh, yeah, Bush Senior, yes. He's the last one with four. And then you had Clinton with eight. Yep. uh it was a rough last four for him though it was um he had bush with eight you had obama with eight and then trump with four yeah trump with four and i really i let me put let me say this without freaking everybody out okay all right i don't think we get biden for eight and i'm not saying it means

he loses this election i'm not sure you're right i'm not sure he runs i think maybe it's there's a we've even talked about that initially saying that yeah i'm only in it for four. Yeah, I'm only doing four. Come on, man. I'm only am for four, man. Inflation. Come on, man.

I'm only doing for four, man. Times are tough. I'm only doing four. I'm only doing four. He's just so damned old. Maybe Kamala Khan can step up. Yeah, Kamala Khan. Yeah, exactly.

She got the big hands. Yeah, she can make it happen. All right, moving on to this story. Nigeria. Now we shift over to Nigeria. A former colony. It used to be a British colony. It's not anymore.

So this is all connected in some way. Actually, I watched a video of all the places that are now independent that used to be colonies during her reign. So it was like from the time she took the queen's crown all the way up to her death, these are the places that jump ship and became their own deal. And it was a ton. really oh wow it was i'll have to look at that list that's interesting that's i was shocked how many it was it was an insane number clearly we're not being taught that it'll probably be a trivia question at some point probably yeah so good that you studied it oh speaking of which there's any trivia app that's on apple arcade that i was curious if you played

did you try that to oh no what's it called it's called hanks trivia or something and i'm i don't know why it's it's it's h-a-n-x and at first i'm like that's a weird name what's that about and then i played it and Tom Hanks's voices all throughout the thing. It's very weird. Really? Yeah, it's Tom Hanks, but it's trivative. But it's HANX. Yeah. And during this game, you do a lot of trivia questions. Obviously, the first rounds are relatively easy, but then you, you know, you do things like which of these countries, blah, blah, blah, blah, or whatever. And it's sort of what you expect. But then there's like a whole round where it's like distorted photos and you have to say who you think it is. Oh, right. It gets less distorted the further end

or something? Yeah, but that's not trivia. 101? Trivia, is that it? Yeah, that's it. Hanks 101, that's it. Okay. But I don't understand I don't understand the taking a photo that's like distorted in Photoshop of, I don't know, some character, some actor.

That's not trivia. That's like TMZ bullshit is what that is. Yeah, right. It's, I don't know. You know, it's like playing spot the difference. I'm kind of torn on it. I don't, I don't think I like it. But you should try it because I trust your opinion. I will totally. Totally try it. Yes. And all through it, you got him going, okay, let's move on to the next one. That's not a very good Tom Hanks. Wilson. Yeah.

There's just like, yeah. There's no crying in trivia. You did really good on that. I can't, I don't know how to do Tom Hanks. And then you move on and you play more. Uh, Nigeria seizes all the donkey penises. Uh, they were supposed to be smuggled to Hong Kong. All the donkey penises. All the donkey penises. It doesn't quite roll off the tongue as all the all that what's the real song all the what's how's the real song go that we just sang single ladies single ladies gosh dang it dude I'm now after you

called me out during Bobby's thing about allergies and my I'm like way better like diligent about did you hear that by the way I don't know if you heard it it is so I went back and listened to it just because I wanted to yeah no I did not hear it I don't cap it out but it's so so loud and it's fine. Is it really? God, I'm so far away from the mic.

I thought, I seriously was like, like, you know, back, back there. And I thought, well, we'll pick me up and apparently it did. It sounds like you were just right on mic and it cracked. I laughed for about five minutes. But then I didn't cap it and I should have because we could play it again. Is that what the person was tweeting us about, by the way, the noise? By the way, the noise Brian made at the end of Bobby's segment. Well, I went and looked and all I could find was that in that range of time he mentioned in the timestamp.

So if it's something else, I don't know. I couldn't figure out what he meant. Well, yeah, none of us want to hear that again. No, no. Nobody. Nobody. But I actually kind of, the timing was perfect. That's why I liked it.

It was. I was talking about, you know, allergies. Allergies over in the corner. It was amazing. I thought you did it on purpose. That's how loud it was. Oh, sure, sure. Totally did.

Yeah. So these Nigerian donkey penises, they've, officials have seized thousands of them. They were supposed to be exported to Hong Kong, according to an official in Nigeria, sacks of the donkey male genitals. We're seized. Hong Kong donkey don't. There you go. Hong Kong donkey dong.

That's a movie. Please somebody make that a title. Hong Kong donkey dong. So actually these things were seized at the international airport in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city. Sambo Dengamma, Lima. I don't know. Let's see. The consignment was falsely declared.

It was declared as cow male genitals. Okay. Which I guess is okay. but after examination, export officers discovered they were actually donkey penises. Wow. And the total of 16 sacks of genitals were then seized. Now, I want to know how a guy knows. How does that guy know the difference?

Well, yeah, right? How does he look at it and go, oh, that's not a donkey penis? That's clearly a cow penis. How? I don't know what the difference is. Do you? I mean, I don't, but I don't know what either of them look like. like. I'm sure if you put them side by side,

you'd be able to tell the difference. Maybe they have a handy infographic. What if they did like a Pepsi challenge? Here's an alligator penis. Oh, here's a... They do it like a Pepsi challenge. They put it in front of you. You have to figure out...

Right, yeah, blindfolded. Oh, this one's definitely a donkey. Yeah, clearly a donkey. Well, anyway, they're... That's bad. So don't, don't, I guess also don'tkeys are not, what's the word, not endangered species over there or anything, but they're running low on them because everybody's exporting them illegally. Their skins are getting out of there. This thing, let's see in July, Nigerian custom sees 116 grand worth of donkey skins being smuggled out to Niger.

That seems crazy to me. It does. By the way, mush potatoes, very good, a set of dick pics. That's how they tell. Oh, it's good. Dick pick flashcards. Well done, bush potatoes. Yeah, good job.

Your potatoes. Now get your football picks in. Jeez. Yeah, you slack her. Here's a Las Vegas story. We like to bring those up when we can. Yep. A woman says that Las Vegas Metropolitan Police arrested her for being too good looking.

Yeah. That's what she claims. Sure. Okay. All right. I mean, she's like a okay-looking lady. I mean, here. I'll bring her up.

Let me say I get to see a photo now. Whoops, this is the wrong link. That's Nigerian penises. Hold on. Here we go. Oh, she's, wow. She looks like, I can't tell if she looks like a cow penis or a donkey penis. Yeah, it's a little up in the air.

Hold on. That's a butt. That's a butt. There she is. I mean, she looks fine. She looks like a normal person, but I don't know about too good looking. Like, I don't know. That's going to be relative to who you are anyway.

Yeah, I feel like. yeah there's some there's some problems here yeah she looks like the new maria in westside story that girl she does yes a little bit anyway a woman was detained for leaving the restaurant unpaid at the airport that's why she was busted ah sure hend bustami uh age 28 said las Vegas police had harassed her because she was too good looking bostami walked out of a chilis tex mex restaurant and harry read international airport without paying her bill uh last one day the self-described hospitality worker was discovered napping near a security checkpoint by the police. Eventually, Bustami was apprehended at the baggage claim.

The arrest record noted that she appeared intoxicated and was, quote, belligerent with the authorities. According to police, she stated she was a target of harassment because cops had, quote, never seen anyone as pretty as me. Oh, sure. Wow. New Disney villain, folks. Yep, there she is. Vote for her for best Disney villain. The Chili's Tex-Mex, you know where all the hot people go is to the Chili's Tex-Mex to Harry Reid. Yeah, all by themselves, drunk, sleeping in a corner.

That's how you know you're hot. Cops, arrested me because I'm too pretty. Let me get on my Instagram. Like everybody, the cops, oh, I'm recording you. Do we have, I'd love to see her full Instagram. Let's see. I'm sure. I'm sure she has one, yes.

This website's weird. The very next story is Amber Hurd reportedly offered multi-million dollar deal to do an adult film. Isn't that just true all the time? Isn't everybody always being... It's going to be all pooping in beds. It's going to be the thing.

Yeah, some people are into that, Brian. No king's shame in here, you know. Actually, you know what? Nothing like the Chili's Tex-Mex at Las Vegas International Airport. Nothing like it. Nothing like it. Gak-ca.

Oh, her, uh, her Instagram page is private. You can't see unless we follow her. She probably changed it. Probably. After this, because now she's getting some notoriety you don't like, you know. I don't think that's her bum in the top.

I think that's a stock photo. Yeah, that's a stock photo. Okay. Sure. Because that's too nice of a shot of a bum. And I don't mean her bum's nice. I mean like the, I'm sure it's a fine bum,

but the, the boca and the quality of the photo. Least me to think that's not her. It would be a very, you know a very very well-done photo uh by by paparazzi or whoever yes exactly or the cop involved like this is not a exactly yeah freaking shirt cam or something anyway right final story uh now we move over to we move from tex max in an airport to oscar meyer uh hot dogs all right this is exciting news all right oscar meyer starts selling its cold dog popsicle in select cities

yeah let's find out if you're impatient you're impatient ever eat a cold hot dog just because you don't want to wait the time it takes to heat it up? When I was a kid, yes. Yeah. Now? No. What I'm doing it now. In fact, yesterday it took a cold Oscar Meyer hot dog.

Nothing like it. The one I took was, or the one I did yesterday was a nice beef, lean beef one that my wife gets these. I really like them. I cut it. I put little cuts in it. Microwaved it. As I'm doing that, I realized, oh, I don't have any buns or even bread. I don't have anything to put this in.

So here's what I did. I took it out. And once you cook it like that with the cuts in it, it's like, no tortilla. No tortilla. I'm out of those two. So I would have done that. So I'd laid that out on a plate, um, mustard across it. Um, spicy pickles all along the side of it.

Ooh. Um, sprinkled it with a little bit of, uh, pepper because I just like pepper on everything. And then I ate that as if that was a normal meal to have. So that's what I did. Yeah. Oh, you know, you just basically had a carb-free hot dog, basically. That's a good point, a bun-free hot dog. Yeah.

Okay, I don't feel bad now. Naked dog. You ate a naked dog. I feel better. I'm sure places sell that. Like, I'm sure pink's hot dogs in Vegas sells the naked dog, and it's basically any of our dogs without a bun. I love pink hot. That place is great.

That is really good, yeah. I had a chili dog there once that just about ended me. It was so good. So good. Oh, my gosh, guys. So good. If you ever get a chance to eat there, do it. I know they're not the only one in the country, right?

They're like in New York or something, but... Yeah, it's a chain. Yeah. Very good. Over here, we have two-fisted Mario's or something. No, what is the place? We have some hot dog place. We have a place in Boulder called Mustard's Last Stand,

which is a, like, a Boulder staple. Love that. It's right by the college, and it is a regular destination for students. Do you feel pretty good about dad-joke names for restaurants? Yes, for restaurants. especially hair salons, the main event or cut it out or something like that. Cut it out. I don't know if there's really a hair salon called Cut It Out, but there should be.

Oh, I want to get my hair done at. Cut it out. That's right, yes. Cut it off. That would be great. Welcome to Cut It Off. How would you like your hair? That's amazing. Anyway, so they're selling this cold hot dog popsicle. So I don't know if I want this, but it's too.

you'll find it at frozen dessert company pop bar locations in New York City, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Long Beach, California. They said in a press release, it visibly resembles a hot dog topped with mustard and has smoky, umami notes of Oscar Myers' arc iconic weiner. Ooh. Yeah, iconic weiner. Iconic weiner. That's fun to say. It is. Nothing.

Yeah. Let me pull this up here, chat, so you can see it. Oh, these are actual just hot dogs on this main shot. Hold on there we go. Okay. So I got a little video here. I'm not going to play the audio, but they posted some video. So, yeah, it just looks like a long hot dog with fake deal on there.

I'd eat. I'd try this. I wouldn't, I may not, you know, I may not, what's the word? It's not the kind of thing I'd seek out, but as show content, I would eat one of these. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. No big deal. Although I don't know how sugary it is.

I'm trying to avoid that stuff. Oh, yeah. probably you'd think it'd be like you'd think that this thing wouldn't have to have have sugar in it but oh it does baby it does what does it umami mean is that like a that's the that's the uh the sixth uh flavor type right so you have sweet salty sour bitter uh sweet sweet salty sour bitter uh it's like a it's like the the taste of soy sauce sauce or mushrooms or something it's it's like a oh an indescribable or well was into it didn't fit into any of the other categories so they said umami okay and claire agrees with you on the mushrooms which

a fifth type no there's got to be six wouldn't there five are they five or maybe maybe not sweet salty bitter slimy slimy yes i don't think it's slimy guys could be right no claire i agree with you on the uh mushrooms like i love mushrooms so maybe i'd like this if it's got hints of that because I like mushrooms a lot I could eat mushrooms any time of the day any prepared way doesn't matter so it really is the fifth yeah sweet salty bitter sour and umami moist moist the chat is the worst source of information of all time they really are you guys you guys anyway this is a thing you have to get it in those places um let's see uh after oh and this is what they said because there was a lot of reaction of course because that

That's what they're aiming for here. It says after the overwhelming fan excitement for our beloved cold dog, it was an O-brander to make this dog inspired Frozen Papa reality, says Anne Field, head of North American brand communications for Oscar Mayer. Or Myers, how we're supposed to say it. Meyer. Said in a statement for more than 130 years, are you kidding me? Geez.

Oscar Meyer has been sparking smiles and bringing levity into everyday moments, and we're thrilled to bring fans another wonderful odd way. to enjoy our iconic weaner while beating the summer heat. They could have aired that and said, enjoy beating your wiener while enjoying the iconic heat. Right, exactly. Thrilling the summer heat or something else. Anyway, we'll try it, but you all got to send us one.

Then we'll see. I don't know how they're going to do it because that's to be frozen. So it's like they got to pack it and dry ice or something. Oh, good point. Maybe it's not locally here. So I don't know how we'll get it. If these get around. We'd have to go to New York, Atlanta.

New Orleans or Long Beach. Yeah. Frozen Wieners will have to wait, everybody. But Tom Merritt waits for no man. He's coming up next right after this music break because it's Wednesday, and that's what we do on Wednesday. So stick around. Hey, Brian, why don't you play us a song so we can do that? Sure.

Well, that beekeeper in England also had to feed the hungry bee, which just happens to be the name of today's Indie and the Middle song, a band called Pink Frost from Chicago. their first album in five years which is coming out it is called I think that the album itself is called Feed the Hungry Bee I think do you even say the name

of the album I can't remember or can't find it anyway these guys like before I even heard their influences I felt like they sounded like early smashing pumpkins and and then I read through their press release

yeah they're definitely one of the influences from Chicago here's Pink Frost Feed the Hungry Bee. Save you are the ones You are the one If you're saved Jesus someone We

With the computer as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. who's probably thrilled that the Apple keynote is finally over. It's Tom Merritt, everybody, here to talk some tech this morning.

Hello, Tom. It just ended. Yeah. We got a robot, Tom. Listen to that. You sound like a USB robot man. Well, that's weird. It is weird.

It's old school. It's like the old, I don't know, it felt like early MacBook pros always did this. Whoa. That was awesome. I don't even know what to make of that. Here, you know what? I don't either, but I'm going to play it so you can hear that. Any different now?

No, still the same. Maybe disconnect and rejoin? There he goes. He'll rejoin us. He'll come back. There he is. He's back. Say something again.

Say something again. Oh, that's the same. Drunk robot. Quit out of Discord and relaunch. Yeah, maybe that'll do it. The chain until we get that. Yeah, this is the pyramid way of, It's troubleshooting.

We know how to do this. We've done this before. We'll do it again. Okay, here he comes. Let's try this one. See if this worked. Oh, you're working now. There you're good.

Perfectly fine. Sounds great. That wasn't you after all. Turning it off and turning it on again. Never finished. Yeah, that's right. Well, look, you do a tech segment here on Wednesdays. Why not have a tech moment of trouble?

You know, why not? It never ceases to entertain me when people I work close with. And I mean everyone. Every single person I work with gets really frustrated that a piece of software isn't working. I'm like, they never work. They always bugs. What did you do you expect software to always work perfectly? No, of course not.

No, if that's your, if you've got that in your head, oh man, I got bad news for everybody who thinks that way. I got over being frustrated with software not working years ago. Except, I mean, I get frustrated when I need it to work urgently, you know, I get, but I don't get surprised, I guess is what I'm saying. That's the kick. Well, today we're not surprised at all that you're here because that's what you do on Wednesday. You come on here. We talk about the tech. You're scouring around the internet today because today is a tech new show.

It's every day. It's not just today. But I'm on today. So that makes it special. Damn it. Tom Merrill, what are you digging around and seeing in your eyeballs today? Well, the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro reviews are out of NDA. So you can look all around the internet and find clever headline writers saying,

The iPhone 14, more like the 13S, because apparently it's not that much different. The 14 Pro gets a little bit better treatment. People are very into the dynamic island and the 48 megapixel camera and all that. But this really is a talk in the TikTok cycle of upgrades. So unless you need a new phone or you've been waiting for three, four years to upgrade and you're ready to accumulate all the updates that have happened in the intervening years. If you're on a 13, you definitely do not need the 14. The only reason I would go from a 13 to 14 is if you bought into that plan,

which I think you do, Scott, where you can just upgrade every year. I did, but I'm in a weird position right now because I have a 12 and I skipped the 13 thinking that the 13 didn't seem like that big of a jump to me from the 12, which it really wasn't. And I had a pro max 12. and so far that I can tell with a very few exceptions, I'm not doing much differently. It doesn't have that dynamic Dolby hoo-ha camera thing,

but I didn't really feel like I need that. Dynamic Island? No, not that. That's the hot new. I cannot wait for the new season of Dynamic Island on Bravo. What notification will get dismissed from Dynamic Island? That's right. Hopefully all of them.

But yeah, I just didn't see a giant jump for the 13, so I actually waited. And so now technically, as of like a couple of weeks ago, I now fully own the phone and I'm off the thing. Yeah. And I'm unsure whether I should even care about the 14 because it sounds like it's really, it really isn't that big of a jump. I guess the pro max is a jump, but.

Are you on the subscription plan where you have to keep paying or are you just on the, I paid it off and now I can stop paying? I'm on the thing where you have the option to do either. So you can, I could have at a year said, get the new phone and I just keep paying. Yeah. Or if I go the full two years, it pays. off and then I can re-ignite it if I want to or do a different way of doing it. But it kind of works either way, which I like. It's flexible and I don't feel like it. If you don't

have to keep paying, and you're fine with the phone you have, I'd keep it. I'm getting a new phone because I want a bigger screen. I've been doing a lot more video and stuff. So I want, I want that larger screen. But otherwise I wouldn't. If I didn't need the new screen, you know. I'm going from the 12 Pro to the 14 Pro Max. I want the. I'm going to the pro max. My eyes are not as good as they used to be. So it's a total of what. Yeah, yeah.

It's 6.7 inches is the new one versus whatever this was. And that's close enough to the old Nexus 7 tablet I used to love to read on. Yeah. That I'm just like, you know what? It'd be nice. They basically have a bezeless Nexus 7 as my phone. Damn it. Now I kind of want it for the size.

I mean, I did wait a year. Don't succumb to peer pressure. I don't know. I do like larger stuff. Larger screens. I'm all big on. Let me give you my commission, my Apple. It was this URL when you were to skip. It was about six months ago that I started to realize, you know what? I really do want the larger screen because I have the small screen. Yeah. And I was like, well, it would be dumb to get it now. Let me wait until they announce a new phone. So I was kind of going to get the new phones bigger screen no matter what they did.

sure I am looking forward to living on dynamic island yeah dynamic island looks like a beautiful place with magical things happening and what I'm annoyed by as you know the 15 or whatever next year's phone is they'll have it all the way across the line including probably the SEs they're all going to get the oh yeah absolutely yeah but this year it's like oh there's gonna be big chip advancements I feel like the 15 has a good chance to have some some major steps forward but none of these have the big step forwards that they had in the early days because those were the early days. They were, they were inventing the category. Now it's, we talked about this on DTNS a while back last week, but now it's like new model cars, right? They're always going to put out a new

one so that when you need a new car, there's lots of cool new stuff that you didn't have in your car, but they're not putting new stuff in order to make you upgrade every year. They know that's not going to happen. Yeah. And it's like PCs or anything else, right? We're there. That's where you hit the top of that curve and then you just sort of maintain, you iterate and you don't, There's no giant leaps. We're done with that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the Sector 7 nails it.

I hope the 15 has USBC. That is the one drawback to this one is that like, ah, just want one charging cable that I can use for everything. Yeah. My suspicion. I don't know this for sure, Brian, but my suspicion is the reason we don't have USBC in this model iPhone is because they had a bunch of parts ordered. And they didn't want in this world. of parts shortages to switch over to USBC and leave all that on the table. So they're like, you know what, let's just use those lightning parts.

Those last bits of lightning cable parts that we still have. That's my guess, anyway. Yeah, you're probably right. Well, I'm now thinking about it because of the size. Damn it, you guys ruined. Blair Gack, get a pixel is not an answer any more than saying to you, get an iPhone so you don't have a blue bubble would be. answer. Agreed. Right. Yeah. If you want a pixel, get a pixel. Yeah, get a pixel. Yeah, it's a wonderful phone. Yeah, it's a great phone. If I was getting an Android phone, I would totally get a pixel. That'd be the one I'd get. But yeah, look, USBC is awesome. I bought some noise isolating headphones to test for some gaming stuff for the gaming show, just to like do a review. And I got these anchors that I wanted to try. And I really like them, but they still use the freaking micro USB connector. And I'm so annoyed by that. It's not even that big a deal.

Like, it's fine. I got a million of those. I can charge it, no problem. It's not a big deal. But I want my world to be USBC everywhere. Across the board. Across the board. I don't want any more weird half measure standards.

I don't want little tiny connectors that break. I want that sturdy, perfect little thing that that is. That's what I want. I want Florence Cue and all my movies and USB and all my devices. Damn straight. Damn straight. Sector 7 points out that the EU rules. rule to require USBC looks like it's going to pass. So by sometime next year, probably, in Europe,

they'll have to put a USBC charger in the iPhone if that goes through. So that may be another reason why they're burning through those lightning ports while I can still sell them in Europe. Yeah, because you're absolutely right. When they get to that point, if they're forced to do that in a large region, they'll do it everywhere. Like that'll just be the change. And they'll be able to sell the phones that have a lightning port already made. The way Europe wrote the law, they won't have to like trash them.

They'll be, so they're going to make as many with lightning as they can before that rule goes into place. Yep. Well, there you go. Do we know anything about like early sales or anything? Is it going okay for this iteration? I mean, not that Apple needs that much help, but you know what I have not seen any numbers.

No. Okay. Just curious if they're doing okay. Oh, interesting. They include a USBC to lightning cable. Oh, so they're kind of halfway there. The wall ward has been USBC for a long time. It's only lightning on the phones. I didn't get, so my 12 was just straight

2.0. Yeah, USB to that. So I didn't realize they were doing that now. USBA or whatever it's called. That's not a selling point, but it's at least interesting. All right. Well, we'll see what I do. I'm kind of annoyed that on them.

I'm hoping to get a firewire cable. Yeah. Bring that back, man. Let's get it back. Let's get that going. I'm in. I'm all in. Sir. Tom Merritt, anything else going on in your technical world or otherwise? You'd like folks home to hear?

Indeed. If you are a fan of me trying to explain cryptocurrency topics to Scott, you're going to want to be watching today's Daily Tech News show because something called the Ethereum merge will be happening this evening, at least this evening as we're recording this. it is changing Ethereum from proof of work, which is the one that uses all the energy, to proof of stake, which basically doesn't need to use any more energy than normal computing operations do. It's a big deal because they're trying to switch an entire blockchain that is very heavily used from one way of working to another. So I'm going to explain a little bit about what's going to happen, what proof of stake is, and, And what could or could not be the fallout from this and why Scott should care and Sarah? So check that out on Daily Technewshow.com. I'm excited to be on there today.

So watch for today's live show as well. Tom Merritt, everybody. It is Ace Detect on Twitter if you're looking for him. Tom, have a fantastic week and we'll see you next time. Thanks. See you, Tom. Bye now. Oh, I forgot this is up.

Here we go. Okay. All right. Strap in, everyone. All right. Tuck in, everybody. Yeah. It's recommendals time.

and you know what that means. I mean, Scott is slow. Hold on a second. Randy Deluxe, there he is. And Nicole Spagnolo, point, ad, create group. Here they come. They're rolling in, rolling in like hot fries.

That doesn't make sense. Made that up. Here we go. Here's their thing right here. It's time for recommendals. We take stuff we've seen on streaming services and we recommend them to you. here in the listening TMS audience. Randy Jordan's joining us right now.

Hello, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. How are you? I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I had breakfast with Brian on Friday, and it was fantastic. It was fantastic. It was a diner that might as well have had a server with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.

Yeah, I love that. I love the idea that you two were there in that kind of diner. There's something perfect about that. I don't know what it is, why that works so well, but men of a certain age, diner of a certain type. The funny thing to me is that we met up for breakfast in Anaheim, California, the day after the queen died. And it's like

all I wanted to talk about, and I don't know why. I don't know why. It's all I wanted to talk about. Oh, really? I felt bad for you guys. Because it was like, I couldn't stop talking about the royal family. Well, they're rest in peace, old lady. Hey, look who else is with us. It's Nicole Spagg

joining us also today for Recommendals. Hi, Nicole. Welcome back. Hi. I'm a little crazy right now. Is it possible that I could go first. 100%? I have to leave at 11.30. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. You can go first. It's Ava's birthday. I got things. I just, I got too much

on my plate. That's adorable, though. I love that. Try to squeeze this in and trying to do it all. I'm just failing it. I feel you. I feel you. I feel you. Well, I'm going to pull yours up. Yours is in the form of a video. How long do you want this to go? Do you have is there a set cut off for this? I hate when I cut off too early. Um, just, just play like a minute of it, I guess.

I don't know. You'll, you'll figure it out. All right. Here, watch this. I'm going to trust you to figure it out. I'm going to figure this out. Here we go. This is your clip.

Here we go. I'm not like you're true. Save. Save. I still haven't watched. I still haven't watched. That should have been much worse. I, Stephen, what the hell are we wearing?

I don't know, she said I needed a suit. Yeah, the ceremonial armor from Conscious Temple, not Psycho-Colonel Sanders. I don't know how any of this shit works, man. I do look sharp, though. All right, where is the scarrant? Scouts, oh, um... What's this? What are these little pose for?

Pretty cool, actually. so this looks like moon night yeah it sure sounds like it yeah it is moon night uh mark and i watched it um i think there's like six episodes and it was just such a refreshing take on a superhero and complexities of this character you heard i don't want to i mean am i giving it away by no i don't think so i'm talking about Stephen grant giving it away. No, you're fine. I think it's also been long enough.

You heard Stephen Grant, and then you heard, what's his name? Mark Specter. Mark. Mark. You know, the guy named the guy with the same name as your husband. And I think he spells it the same way, too, because we always watch everything with subtitles. Yeah, yeah, it's with a C.

Yeah. So I was like, hey, it's your name. Yeah. Nice. This is, I just, I love it. I can't wait for another season of it. I love Egyptian, the Egyptian gods and learning more about them. I mean, how much, I don't know how much of it.

It takes from actual lore, I'm guessing quite a bit. But I love this idea that the gods still exist among us, and they have these avatars, human avatars, that kind of live. within. And that's kind of the premise of this. And you get to see his character develop. It's fairly faithful to the comics. Like I always, with these things, I always kind of like wave my hand around while saying that. You know what I mean? Like, Luke Cage was fairly faithful to the comics, but it's not really, you know? Like, it can't, it can't do, Moon Knight can't do what the comics did because there's a lot of really weird crap, especially in the...

It is so weird. The comic kind of flipped the amount of Mark Specter versus Stephen Grant that you see. Like, Moon Night primarily in the comics was Mark Specter. And Stephen Grant was like a little bit, and the third guy was a little bit. But you were more focused on Mark Specter than you were on Stephen Grant. I know in the 80s, the comic felt like Batman. Marvel Batman is what it felt like to me. Yeah, very much.

It was schizophrenic Marvel Batman. Yeah. And the schizophrenia didn't feel like it. I mean, obviously it was there, but it didn't feel like a major focus in that particular era. Does the show, because I haven't watched the show yet, does the show really, I assume it really leans hard into the schizophrenia stuff or, you know, the two personalities. Well, that's what you're, that's what the journey they take you on is to kind of figure it

all out. You're figuring out. kind of with Stephen as he's going through all of this. Sure. Like, what? I don't really understand what's going on. Because you're getting, I mean, this is all origin. So you just got to stick with it.

And eventually they get to a place where you, you understand what's happening. And it sets it up. And oh, Ethan Hawk is in this. I forgot. Yes, he is. And isn't he having a moment? He is having a moment. Yeah.

I recommended the black phone a few weeks ago. He was crazy in that. He's having a moment. He's great. We're basically in a time when you just need to watch anything Ethan Hawke is in right now. I agree. But that's funny, the chat says that he's doing a great job as a villain. And I'm like, is he the villain?

Like, that's what is so cool about this show that I'm even second-guessing everything that is presented to me. And I'm like, is that real? Is this what's going? Like, it really messes with you and what you traditionally think of like a story art. and good versus evil, and that's why I like it so much, because it's so different. Some of the best villains are villains who don't know their villains, right? They have a certain belief in a certain thing that they're following, and it makes it probably a lot more fun as an actor to play somebody like that,

because you just believe in your convictions, and you don't have to be like, ah, I'm twisting your mustache, I'm going to take over the world. But, yeah, no, it's, it's, uh, it's got to be a fun character to play. Have you guys I just assumed you guys had already

recommended it. I hadn't. No, I think just because everybody knew that the second it came out, I'd watch it. So there was really

no point in me recommending it. Yeah, we talk about it. I felt like we had a lot of back and forth about it. And I know Stephen talked about it a bunch

on his segment. So yeah, we, you know, we definitely discussed it. But I, it was one of those where I was really excited

in the beginning because I just thought, man, moon night. I love that comic when I was a kid. I want to see this. And then for whatever reason, they just could never be motivated to see it. But I don't know. You sound like you really like that.

Yeah. The thing is about this one is that unlike Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel and some of the other recent ones, there's no no connections to the existing characters in the MCU that I can think of. Yeah. I mean, you basically, you don't get any sort of like, oh, here's a cameo from Wong, or here's a, you know, here's this and that. It's, so it feels like a nice self-contained. Obviously, it takes place in the MCU, but it feels like a nice self-contained story.

Yeah. I like that Wong. And then you go, how are they going to bring that in? Yeah. Like, how is, I do like how Wong is like the, he's the John Ratsenberger for Pixar that, you know, for Marvel. And I'd love, actually really like that. is interesting that that dark or uh moon night decided to just skirt all that you know like not not be to have a foot directly in the continuity and i don't know what that means for the future of

the character like does it mean that this was a one-off and they're done are they doing a second season i i guess i haven't they are doing a second season they haven't they haven't officially announced it yet but uh all signs are pointing to there being a second season of i thought for sure that would be one of the announcements at d23 but there wasn't they did have all the comments costumes there. So there was a Marvel display and they had costumes from Moon Night and Thor Love and Thunder and like lots of really, really cool close up time with the costumes. That's pretty awesome. Well, there you go. It's Moon Night. Available now on Disney Plus. So get in there and get it done. I heard him swear. He said the shit and that made me go, oh, it was Disney

Plus. We got the shit in there. Nice job. I like that. Yeah. Get the shit in there. And he normally doesn't cuss. That's the funny thing about Stephen. Like, what's the actor's name? Oscar Isaac. Oh, my God. He really makes Stephen into his own thing.

And I miss Stephen when he's not there. Like, it's, I just love it. That's great. Oscar Isaac, he's really having a moment. He absolutely is, yes. Yeah, he seems to also be having a moment. I want to know what flavor birthday cake you're going to be eating today. She loves chocolate birthday cake.

Nice. Me too. That's the only answer. It's a pirate theme. She is in love with sea shanties and has requested a pirate thing. That's awesome. That's amazing. Where does she getting her sea shanties?

Just curious. How does she? I don't know. I think she, where did she hear it at first? Oh, because Mark will put on. he likes vlogging Molly and those types of bands and so the the wellerman song oh this one gets put in there and she just wants to hear it over and over again there once was a ship that put to see the name of the ship was a bully of tea everyone loves that one it's it's the theme of the day

well nice uh did you uh you want to you want to bail that's uh that's the end of Nicole right now yeah um tell her happy people birthday from from her recommendals buddies yeah thank you guys yeah congratulations to her she's an awesome kid we'll see you soon bye now Nicole all right Brian we're gonna do you next yeah let's do Brian yeah what's your setup right what he got uh this is a series um I'm gonna say that that uh I've I canceled AMC plus but I still had like 24 days left on it so I'm like all right well let's do little search on what is what is uh regarded really well on amc plus and i found this oh all right well i'm very excited to hear you here you go my deepest condolences for your loss fin was a great man

an excellent business partner we know the shooter was a traveler kid my men are looking you've got trouble with these people nothing to warrant killing him that's not good man of fin standing should not be that easy to take out Your organization is weak somewhere. What do you say? First they come for you. Now someone has got to your business partner. Me.

My shipment was hit yesterday. I gave an order that no one moves any dope until I find the killer. It obviously didn't reach you. If you impose an embargo, you'll start a war. A war was started when my father was shot. Oh! You've got to.

his temper. Believe me, if they were to kill my son, I would wipe out their bloodline. Wow, Free Ranger, or who is it? Yeah, Free Rangers in the chat got it. This is a show called Gangs of London. Premiered in 2020 on Sky TV, AMC Plus got it, and there's a second season in the process in the works that comes out in November. think peeky blinders but set in a modern age in London it and you even get the guy who plays

Tommy Shelby Joe Cole who plays Tommy I'm sorry John Shelby in Peaky Blinders Little Brother who you hear right there Colmini is the the leader of this family the head of this family Finn Wallace I'm in I'm in I'm in all right you just did it you just convinced me to watch the entire show. Oh, wait till I tell you a little more even. All right. He's the father of this family and this crime empire, his son, takes a leadership role.

This guy that you just heard Joe Cole. And his wife, Michelle Fairley, who you know is Caitlin Stark. I like her. Yes. So there's the Wallace family. There's the Dumani family. And then there's the police. holy cow it took me well it took me one episode to fall in love with this show but then it took me like three or four episodes to decide whose side i was on which i love i love like that it doesn't just say oh well here are the good guys here's who you should be reading for here's who you should like it's like no it it uh it takes you a while to decide like oh i think i'm on their side it's not it's not black and white uh

This is on AMC Plus. However, you can watch the first episode for free on Amazon Prime and decide if you like it before you make any commitments. I promise you, thanks to a scene that takes place in a bar, it will make you really quickly decide if it's the show for you. It's a lot more violent than peekie blinders. What? I'm sorry. It's more? It's more violent than peeky blinders.

I'll say it again. so more violent then more violent okay more violent this thing is also streaming on amazon prime and i know that because it gets suggested to me all the time the first episode is you can watch the first episode for free there but okay all right yeah i got the impression from the offering that it has a bunch of women in it like prominently women are in this thing and like that's what made it look very different than peeky blinders to me peeky blinders is a bunch of men doing very gruesome things to other men sure and and so i like i'm surprised that you're saying it's more violent like what yeah it's uh i mean

i'd say it's it's it's boy it's still like an 80 percent 75 percent male fronted show uh the kately the kately star character is very prominent just like in peaky blinders you've got uh uh Tommy shelby's mother is very prominent on the show his sister, you know, and then there's the, in the Dumani family, there's Shannon who is very, very prominent. Yeah, it, it, don't, don't go in there thinking that it's going to be men and women doing horrible things to each other, peekie blinders style. It's still, it's still, it's still male dominated, but, but I think the women do, the women

do definitely play more, a bigger role than they do in peeky blinders for sure. interesting uh it's uh man there's there's uh soap soap de risu i don't know he's a nigerian a british actor from nigeria um he's let's see made his film debut in 2016 with sandcastle criminal and the huntsman winters war i've never seen any of those but now i want to see anything this guy is in he is so so good and I won't say anything more about his character or his role in the whole storyline than that. But this is this is a show that I couldn't wait to watch the next episode. I was always like eagerly waiting to watch the next episode. Well, it sounds like my jam.

I love British. This is totally your jam. British like mob movie type stuff like early, I can't think of his name. but like lockstock and tube smoke a barrel like that guy richie yeah love that kind of stuff so you're you've you convinced me at colemini and i'll stay for everything else that sounds great for sure he's funny that that's what it takes because like it looks like he's not in all episodes right like yeah he's i love this side of him though sprinkled in he's he's he's uh he's very prominent but yes i won't say he's in every episode oh interesting right okay

Fair enough. And also looking at the credits, it looks like a bunch of people who were in his dark materials. Oh, maybe. Oh, really? Maybe there's some, like, cohesion between. Yeah, the director was somebody that I hadn't heard of before, Gareth Evans. Some kind of showrunner, maybe shared showrunners or something. Maybe.

Yeah, maybe there's some sort of other connection there for sure, a producer or something. But, yeah, go watch the first episode for free. Amazon Prime, decide if you like it or not, decide if, I showed it to Tina. Basically, I showed the one scene that I described to Tina. And she's like, yeah, no, you can watch this one without me. I'm fine. Yeah, no. Yeah, no.

My favorite response. I get that a lot here at home. Yeah. Yeah. So watch it, watch that first episode for free and then you can decide, oh, yeah, this is definitely worth me paying five bucks to get AMC Plus for a month. or whatever it costs seven ducks or very cool uh but it sounds like my jam also it's just it's interesting i keep hearing there's a there's a bunch of little shows happening on emcee that are really excellent but are so

overshadowed by saul at the moment yeah that once once things clear people will be like oh yeah right there's these other like six shows that are amazing on emce i'm i'm so excited for the next season of uh which which is currently being shown the second season of kevin can f himself yeah because once you get past the gimmick of, oh, sometimes she's in a sitcom, and sometimes she's in a one-camera drama. She, it's a Murphy from, what's her face? First, first name from, Brittany Murphy from, not Britney Murphy, but not Britney Murphy. That's what I kept thinking, too, from Schitt's Creek. Yeah, Annie Murphy's awesome.

Annie Murphy, thank you. She is, she is fantastic in this, and this is a showcase of her amazing range. Amazing, amazing range. Amazing range. Yeah, so that's kind of a secondary recommendation. I've recommended Kevin Keneff himself. But if you pick up AMC Plus after Gangs of London, you're like, all right, what else should I watch?

That's a great follow-up. Yeah, I'm putting up on the screen, her flipping off that security camera. It's right there from that show. It's so good. All right. Well done. I'll go next. And then, Randy, we're going to have you round us up today.

Sweet. My clip is as follows. I will tell you it's animated. I will tell you it just came out. And it's tied to a video game. Here it is. What happened? Didn't I tell you to get the upgrade?

Yeah, dog's damn fault. Gave me a fully bork drive. You tried to get around the system, didn't you? Now it'll cost us 10 times more. Sorry. If it's something you got to apologize for, maybe don't do it in the first place, eh? Said you didn't have the eddies when I asked.

So? I was waiting for payday. You know we don't got that kind of cash just lying around? Can't you sit still a minute? Okay. If that sounds like an anime to you, well, you'd be correct. It totally does. Yeah.

Definitely that kind of dialogue. This is cyberpunk edge runners, which is a, let's see how many episodes that they do, 10, yeah, 10 episode Netflix series that just landed. It's a little bit of a cheap. Yeah, yeah, it was yesterday, right? I've only had time to watch one episode, or excuse me, two episodes, and I feel strongly enough to recommend this to the right people. because this is not going to be for everyone. It is animated. It is absolutely 100%

a thousand percent not for kids. Do not put your five-year-old in front of a thousand percent. Because it is really violent. There are the sexy moments as well that you may take issue with with your younger children. And it is not holding back in any of those departments. Cyberpunk, the game, the video game, which is finally a very fine, playable game after a rough launch,

is the background for all of this. And that game's based on the tabletop world created a long time ago in the 80s. And it's very true to that, the sort of dialogue and the way people talk to each other and everyone's hacking into everything and getting body modifications that give them cyber implants and all this sort of stuff. All of those things that you think of cyberpunk, they're all in here. this also coincides with some DLC that landed on the game the game itself called the Edge Runner's

DLC, it's free. I haven't gotten to any of that content, so I can't tell you if that stuff's any good, but I can't tell you that this, let's put it this way. If you like action-oriented gnarly anime, with a lot of violent action and a lot

of just like intense visuals and really great animation, this is for you. I don't want to shock anybody, but once again, in terms of like voice acting, your number one cast member here is Giancarlo Esposito, who is in all things all the time now. Yeah. His job is to be in all things. He's fine with me. Yeah, it's fine with me too. His job is provide a scary voice. That's right. It is, it hits the ground running pretty hard. Some other people you might know, like, well, Matthew Mercer's in it. He does voices for everything, so that's probably not a

shock um nobody else really it's a lot of voice actors you never heard of um and it's really cool so if you're into it then you'll like it uh how does it compare to arcane says win megas i would say it's nothing like arcane arcane is uh how do i put arcane arcane is an epic yeah that's not what this is like loud in your face go go go like i don't know how to explain it it's a different kind of approach. It's like saying, what's the difference between Mad Max and, I don't know, some, the king's peach, the king's speech. Does it feel like a long, like a long form series based on a love, death, and robot style? Oh, good question. It is episodic for sure. Oh, it is episodic. I mean, there's 10 episodes and they're not, it's not a different, it's not

episodic in the sense that it's like Star Trek where there's a different villain every week. It's just a normal show. I mean, it's a show about certain characters and you follow them all the way through. Sure. But to compare it, I think it's actually fair to compare it to Love Death and Robots

in terms of just the style and the kind of like gusto of it, it very much feels like maybe this could have been one of those shorts and then they expanded it sort of thing. Evolved into a full show. You don't have to know the game to enjoy it. You don't have to watch this to enjoy the game.

they're, you know, they stand on their own pretty well. There is some crossover and apparently more than that in the game when I get to the DLC. I don't know yet, but I'm in the middle of playing the game. So I'm kind of in the mood for this stuff. And I quite liked it. So if you like heavy action anime, which is kind of the only anime I do like, then this is recommended. It's in English, although there may be other language stuff included, but it's made for, you know,

it's made for English audiences, much as the video game is. And it's really good. So check it out. I just want to pick a little bit more at the how violent and or gruesome it is because the only thing I know about this is that some Republican Congress critter a few days ago tweeted or posted somewhere that they were outraged because there was an ad for this that their kids saw. Yeah.

And they're just, how dare, you know? And like that that made me really want to see this. Yeah. And I'm just curious like how how dare? Like how violent, you know. Pretty violent. I mean, lots of close-up bullets to the head. A lot of, you know, virtual reality ladies having sex, you know, topless this and that. Dudes shredding each other with implants and, you know, they really lean into the world. I think it's weird that anybody would see an anime that is clearly rated for adults. Like they don't make any, they're not trying to trick kids into seeing this. Um, but that just tells me whoever that is that you saw has never seen anime before. Oh, for sure. Yeah. That's, it's, it's kind of a constant in our culture wars.

Yeah. It's real dumb. But yeah, the fact that that there's anyone has a problem with it's just because they're not paying attention to modern culture. But the bottom line is it's it is it isn't for kids at all. And I wouldn't recommend this for kids. I think it's a little too dark, a little too hard, a little too, you know, all that stuff. But if you can handle that stuff and you're and you're into just kind of the cyberpunk vibe, which I definitely. I definitely am. I love that motif. It's a bunch of that. And it's pretty cool. Right on. Cool. All right. So, Randy, let's get to yours. Yeah. Let's have our, let's have our after-dinner dessert. And I sent you a clip from something that I watched for a very good reason, but it's something I think everyone has seen. We've all seen. You need to re-watch it. And you need to re-watch it soon. And you're going to hear about. why very, very quickly after you listen to this clip, again, from something that you've seen for sure. Enjoy. Don't go near it. We don't know where it's been. But, Dan, it's a baby.

It's not like us. No, it's not an Elwyn. Looks like a Dikini baby. What's a Dikini? Dikini's a big, giants who live far away. Oh, she's so cute. Don't we keep it data? No.

We'll push it downstream and forget we ever saw it. Come on. That sounds like Willow to me. It does. Yes. So we got our first full trailer for the upcoming Willow sequel series yesterday. And it was, it's a real good trailer. It makes it just look like this is going to be a must watch for our entire generation and others perhaps.

And that made me realize, you know what, if you're going to watch Willow the movie from 40 years ago, you should do that, I'm sorry, 35 years ago, you should do that now. Don't wait to do your pre-watch of the old movie until November. Watch it now so then you can have it, but then you can have some time so that it feels properly aged to you. because like this is this movie has some rough edges you know like it's it's great it's wonderful to revisit but i will bet you if you do watch the old movie right before watching the new series it's going to look really bad so watch it now this is my recommendation give it some time for the the visuals to dissipate from your memory but the storyline to still be fresh so i have a weird I have a weird relationship with Willow and that I didn't like it in theaters.

I didn't like it at all, actually. I thought it was bad. And I don't know why. It was just the mood I was in. I don't know, what were we, 16, 15, whatever, whenever that came out. Yeah. And I just always went, ugh, Willow, don't care. But something about the trailer and the new content coming, the new series based on Willow.

For some reason, I'm like back in because I want to see what that is. And I love that it's Warwick Davis after all these years. And I don't know. And Joanne Wally. Yeah, Joan Walley. It's right. So that's all cool. And I do kind of want to, and I do kind of want to get into that. And so I've had this question, should I watch Willow the movie again? And maybe I think the answer is yes. And maybe we do it for couch party this week. I went through it. I, that's awesome idea. I won't be watching it twice this week. But I, looking at it yesterday, I was just really amazed at how timeless a lot of it is. There's some of it that's rough. I'm telling you, it's got a little rough.

But a lot of it is just like, oh, this movie's going to look good 100 years from now and sound good and so on. And I just, I really, really appreciate that. We learned with the full trailer yesterday that Christian Slater is in the new series. We don't know anything about that. It's been like hidden, so to speak, up until yesterday. And like they don't even have a character name for him or how many episodes he's in. be standing around. Ramey Malick will talk to him, but he's not actually there. That's how that'll go. He's not, he's just a robot, a Mr. Robot, if you will. Uh, no, that's, that's

interesting. I didn't know he was in it either, but I do, I don't know, there's something about knowing that they're going to approach this with like fresh budget, fresh effects. We live in a time where everything can look good, not stop motion garbage. Like, I don't know. For some reason, I think Willow has, is going to work. Yeah, I do too. And if I, I, I'm just making, guesses here about the upcoming series but based on this full length trailer we saw yesterday it looks like the Val Kilmer

sort of like fighter rogue who is the sort of main character is this time is going to be a character played by Amarsad Upatel and like he got a ton of screen time in the trailer and I'm

excited about that because he's a very interesting very dynamic actor but again you know we don't know anything we just I just you see and hear a lot of a Marsha da Patel in this in this trailer that that excites me when is that series done it's close right aren't we getting there it's coming out in November November okay so this year interesting well there you go then Willow where is oh I guess the original Willow's on Disney Plus that's where you saw yes it is yes it is the original it's on Disney Plus

it's a really really good transfer I like that's something that we don't talk about very often because they're usually just perfectly competent, but I was amazed at how good it looks, looks really good. Yeah, of all the streaming services, I have to say, I don't know if this is just me, maybe it is, or maybe there's a reason for this, but I feel like Disney Plus's

color depth and older, especially some of their older stuff where I don't even know if they have to do any work on them or whatever, for whatever reason, their stuff just looks better than I see on some of the other services. And I don't know why that is. It's not like it's all in 4K

or something. It's just something. And somebody used to work at Twitter. What's his name? I can't think he was name. Anyway, TV expert guy was saying something on Twitter about how Disney's doing something specific with their streaming tech that makes everything look better. I don't know what it was. But everything over there looks a little better than it should, which I like. I think it's really nice. Well, fantastic. I had a pun. I missed my pun.

Give us your pun. Give us your pun. I watched this new trailer for this new series. And I came out of this new character that I don't know anything about, but he's very interesting. And I came away and I said, Amar shut up, tell me more.

Oh, my Lord. I think we had to burn the showdown now. I don't think we can go normally on. This is so bad. But I'm glad you did it. Look, that was a brave thing to do. And we support brave moments here on the show. Hey, you want to hear my B impersonation again?

No. I just want to see you shake your ass again. That was fun. Sure. Sure. That was pretty good. Hey, Randy, this weekend, you, me, Brian Dunaway and Brian Abbott doing film sack and I forgot what the hell we're doing. What are we doing? What are we? Oh, we are going to watch Assassins from 1995. Ass ass in. Ascent. Yeah, Maximus. I don't think I've seen this. So I'm pretty excited actually to. I definitely haven't seen it. We had we had another recommendation come in from a bunch of people. And so, uh, I've got penciled in for the following week for us to watch Lord of War, the Nick Cage movie.

I thought you're going to say Moonfall. You need to get Moonfall in there, too. I did put that on our list, just not in the next two weeks. Yeah, but no, Lord of War is a great suggestion because so many people mentioned that as their favorite Nicholas Cage movie, and I've never seen it. Oh, it's very good. Yeah, that's what that came from. You did Nick Cage movies last week. It was feud, yeah.

Yeah. And then we had a bunch of people say, you need to watch Lord of War on Film Sacks. So we're going to, but first, ass, ass, ass ends. As ass ins, everyone. 1995, Stallone, Bandaris, get in here, all right. It's going to be great. Randy Jordan, aka Randy Deluxe. Randy, have a great week.
