It's the morning stream for Wednesday.

September 21st, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian David. Hi, Brian. Well, hello. Hi. Normally, we would have had a show yesterday. And we didn't. Yeah. And I even said Monday, hey, we'll have a show tomorrow. And then we didn't have one. So unless you follow us on social media, you may not even be aware of why we didn't have a show yesterday. No, no. Did somebody email and say, did you guys pod fade? Is that it? Is it over? No pod fade questions, but I did get a number of email saying, where's the show today? And I tried to post it everywhere that people could see to let them know. You've got to help us help you. You've got to subscribe to the things, you know, you've got to go to Twitter. Follow us on Twitter. You got to go to whatever, Discord, probably we talked about there too. Yeah, we try to get the word out and others spread the word for us, but it doesn't always get to every ear.

So anyway, for those who were wondering what happened yesterday, we're back. It's a show today. So everything's fine. Breathe deeply. Everything will be fine. but I do want to tell everybody what happened is pretty wild stuff and it kept us up all night

which is partly why we didn't do a show but the other part was it was just kind of chaos and we had to deal with it and we're still dealing with it but anyway here's how it went and it was very weird from top to bottom especially because for the first 24 hours it felt like there were no

news articles in Oregon about what had happened so so here's the story we Kim's got most of her family now lives out this direction. They've all moved up here from the south at one point or another, except for one sister and her husband who moved to California for a long time, and now they're in Oregon. And they work out there.

We don't see them very often, but they're out in Oregon doing their thing. And we get this crazy text message about 10 o'clock or something. It's a little hazy about when we got it. I don't remember. But we got it kind of, you know, toward the end of the night on Monday. with just this crazy like abbreviated notion that's that there had been a shooting um that he had been shot and then at first we were like wait by who like it was like not a lot of information and then we got more information anyway here's basically what happened um there's probably some

lessons in this but uh her so my i guess he's my brother-in-law too right isn't how that works if you're even though it's by marriage is it still i think so it's not brother-in-law in law right brother in-law, twice-in-lawed? Yeah. I don't know how that works, actually. I guess I've never asked. Anyway, never had to think about it that way. Anyway, her sister's husband, they were both at home and they heard some ruckus outside. And we're still a little unclear about whether they saw lights, search lights, or any kind of emergency lights or any of that, because those would have also been present based on what we know now. But there was something going on outside, specifically in his backyard and so he thought well what i'll do is i'll go out there with my shotgun which he

legally owns this seems like a really bad idea and it is it's a bad idea yeah um you don't do that me grab your shotgun and sit there and wait things out a little bit and see what's going on stay locked in your head out the door and kind of look around and and you know see if you can figure out what's going on there first yeah do some peeking through windows that sort of stuff like you you've got options um but for whatever reason, he marched out there with this shotgun in hand. And when he did, he immediately was shot six times by a policeman. Just pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. And it turns out it is, for a while there, we thought it was multiple police shooting him.

But it was just one. And this explains how it happened. So he got five bullets in his leg, one of which went right through his femoral artery. Yeah, which is real bad. And the fifth, or sorry, the sixth bullet entered his abdomen. So what we are thinking is as the gun, as the cop pulled the gun out, the shot started as he raised the gun. Oh, sure. He or she, I'm not actually sure.

But then went up his leg and then the last bullet went into his abdomen. And we still don't know if they said drop the gun and he didn't or if we don't know. We have no idea about that, those details. But what we do know is there was some kind of perpetrator. cutting through their yard they had been on a high speed chase or some sort of chase with this guy and had chased the car probably probably even if i don't even know if there was a car actually maybe that may be not even part of this but but he's back there running through that yard and had broken through their yard and that's why he was hearing sounds out there and he was armed so this

these cops you know were responding with you know armed response and no shots were fired up to that point But what happened is when he came out of that door, they thought that was the guy. They're like, oh, there's the guy with the gun we've been chasing. Right, exactly. And one of those cops just trigger happy, you know, six bullets right out of his chamber. Which, you know, going for the leg to immobilize, you know, for whatever reason, again, you know, police have to have to think quickly, act quickly, and, and try to not use lethal. uh for so you know i mean god it is it's a it's a it's a crap situation all around yeah both sides you could argue did what they needed to be doing he you know he he he didn't know police were

out there he thought oh god somebody's out in my backyard i need to protect my family yeah so he grabbed his shotgun and went out there so i mean it's yeah and that's the thing is i don't know if he i don't know what he saw before he went out like i just don't know and he's Even at, you know, completely sedated tense so nobody can ask yet. Right. So we still don't really know. But so what they ended up doing is that a lot of people in the chat room correcting me that the cow probably wasn't going for the legs.

They're not trained to immobilize the legs. They're just probably going for the center mass and just missed five times. Yeah. Well, like I said, the path of the bullets indicate that as they drew, they're going, he's pulling up, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, because the pattern of the bullets went up. I see what you're saying. Okay. I thought it was the abdomen shot was as they were drawing and then no no no it was all so it was

leg leg leg leg leg and then abdomen for the for the six shot gotcha so anyways um so this all went down and he lost was losing a ton of blood on the scene uh they and this is the all of the whatever happened from then forward is a little blurry to me because no one's said and he i still don't really know but they rush him to the hospital he was in surgery all night long um ended up the one the one that they really had to work the hardest on was to stop the bleeding from the femoral artery he died twice in the um the ambulance and was brought back died a third time in the oar was brought back and this was all for blood loss yeah it was all blood loss reasons but they kept bringing him back reviving him um got him you know got him replacement blood and all

that and got him to a point where they had to do at least they abdomen surgery because that stuff is that's you know where you're going to really have trouble it's just a gut shot's going to kill you so they did all that we they finally got out of surgery yesterday morning and let us know what was going on and the big concern was you know is it going how long is you're going to be in critical condition well the good news is today he's in critical but stable condition he's out but he's you know he were they successfully did whatever they needed to do with the abdomen shot um the the leg though so the good news is he's alive and the prognosis for living is is as high as it's been since the shots okay so that's good um the downside is

it is looking likely that tomorrow Thursday they're going to have to amputate his leg because there's no way his leg's going to make it like it just shredded it yeah cut everything to pieces so so so he's going to have to have that happen probably tomorrow unless something massive changes something could i don't know i don't know how this stuff works something could change i guess anyway uh from a legal standpoint the cop who shot who who fired all the shots is now on administrative leave they're doing in full investigation what's weird is normally you can check local news services wherever things like this happen and you'll immediately see oh here's news of a shooting and and then you can get some details this didn't show up for like a day

like it took forever for that to show up so we're hearing about this horrific thing and then we're just not seeing anything about it publicly finally did and uh and even it was a little bit vague it just basically said officer involved shooting uh the officer in question is on leave while investigate and that's it they don't say anything else they don't even have his name or any of that stuff um or at least they didn't last i checked so the deal now is he is uh i guess in recovery mode But then they'll have to probably take the leg tomorrow. And then in terms of the long term of this, who the freak knows. But as a result, it was just chaos. A whole bunch of Kim's family are already loaded up in a van and drove out there because flights were the next available flights were too late. So they drove 10 hours to Oregon. Wow.

They're there now. So they're with her. I mean, they're there for her, obviously, to give her support. And then to make things more complicated, there's a major wedding on Kim's side of the family this week tomorrow. or no Friday and that's probably what down the other end of the country down to Louisiana no that's here but it's I don't think I don't think they'll be home on time for it so it's not look let me tell you something not a priority as much I hope my niece has a long life with a beautiful thing course but people forget about weddings about two and a half minutes after

they're over no one cares you don't care like nobody cares if I could go back I would I would have taken that money everyone gave us to have the damn thing saved it put it the bank and eloped because marriage weddings are dumb they're dumb but anyway whatever that's a whole different thing um so that's so it's been chaos and as a result yesterday it was just like too much i texted brian i'm like i don't think we can do a show today there's not with all this going on um so anyway we're gonna we're gonna see what happens i don't know well i'll let everybody know and i've been i've been sort of chronicling it on twitter if some of you're like i've already heard this story well you're hearing it again i guess yeah and if you want to hear more about

the story, go to Scott's Twitter and read through, there's more details in there and specifics. Yeah. And I linked to the article where they did actually finally get it in the news and stuff, but that's so, but it's so one or two sentences is all it is. Yeah, it may as well say there's a new Marvel movie coming.

Like, it's just nothing. It's a nothing burger of a news article, but anyway, the hope is that he can quickly, the problem is there's a lot of underlying health issues and stuff that he was dealing with already and he's, you know, he's a bigger guy. got some of that going on and I don't know it's just worried a little worried about it and they're just far like they're no one else lives that direction we're all here and so trying to support them and help them has been tricky so anyway that's where it's all at and that's why we missed the thing yesterday and uh the lessons are thus far here here's my main lesson if you hear that kind of scuffle outside and your doors are locked stay inside until you have a better idea what's going on in fact even

call 911 and yes people can say needs complete police reform they shouldn't fire without you know I understand I understand emotions on this whole topic are very high and they have been for years, decades maybe I get that but in the moment

in the climate that they're in I really wish he would have stayed put you know I just wish he would have stayed put and I'm not trying to blame him like oh it's your fault somebody emptied their clip into you

you. I'm not saying that. Definitely, right. Exactly. No. You know what I mean? And obviously the body cam footage is going to tell us a lot about what, if anything was said, if the cop identified himself, told the guy, told your brother-in-law to put down his gun, that sort of thing. There's a lot of questions that won't get answered until. Actually, that's a great question about whether they even, I don't know if Oregon state law

or even local, like, county stuff requires body cams there? I don't know. Oh, maybe not. Actually, I don't know. Maybe. I mean, I would hope so. I don't know why that's not mandatory everywhere. Yeah, I agree.

In some areas, it's not. But so that's a good point, though. Maybe that stuff will come out and we'll get a better, better idea. I know it's a magazine, not a clip. Like, that matters. Pants Jackson, like semantics really matter between magazine and clips. Yeah. It's me.

I think I think you're great, but that's a weird thing to get hung up on. All right. Also, quick warning that has nothing to do with getting shot. Watch out for huge spiders. Okay? Now, you may say, Scott, I already do. I don't like a big spider. And I, you know, most people don't, right?

Brian, I don't think when's the last time you woke up and went, man, I sure hope I see a big hairy spider today? Absolutely zero times. Zero, zero times. All right. Well, over here, I got a big stack of, you can't really see it, but a big stack of old nerdtacular stuff I'm going through to do some giveaways, some things like I have a couple of old ancient 2014 swag bags I want to give away. Oh, yeah. And I don't even know why I have them. And I'm just going through old stuff, getting rid of some things, pushing through stuff.

And boy, when you haven't touched a box since 2014, things start living in there. Yeah. It's a real condo for certain creatures. And this huge, I don't know what kind of spider. Big, big freaking spider Comes crawling out on top of this print While I'm looking at it And I'm so focused on the signatures on it

That I don't notice at first That there's a spider on the top Coming up over and down And so I'm just looking low down I see your signatures One of these where we all signed it, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah And then my signature starts moving

And I'm like, ah, Brian, signature is sentient But no, it was this big brown-ass spider I don't even know what kind it was, wolf maybe. Probably wolf spider. Those are the most common. like house house spiders where you and I live

that's true Intermountain West spiders man yeah so I flick it I just went blah and freaked out and that little spider well because it just shocked me right spider went flying back

into the back of the storage area back to be a problem again at the future date exactly you just snoozed it all you did is snooze the spider you're right I snooze the spider it's going to go off again and I don't know when or how

and I wasn't going to go back there and find him again because it's dark and gross I just can't do it so he's back there and it's just because I freaked out I had no control I flicked it I used this very mag safe power anchor power brick not two days ago for a spider that

I'm just working I look over and this black spider is walking towards me black but not spindly like a black widow but almost like a black wolf spider pick this up bam problem solved we'll wipe it off with a Kleenex

And guess what? It's ready to charge my phone again. Yeah. Carter, Hope, is not listening because she loves spiders. I'm sorry. No, Carter, we have a deal. I don't kill spiders outside. They don't kill them outside. They don't kill them alone. Yeah. If they figure out a way to come in, sorry, it's, you know.

Yeah, it's your domain. It's your, it's your, it's your big, the bundle of bags or whatever. They broke the rules. We have an agreement, and they broke the agreement. You know what? I think that's a fair stance. I support your position on this. I wish I would have had more presence of mind to murder that spider, but I didn't.

Mrs. Crazy Neighbor, I have watched her pick up a spider that's in the house with her hands, not with like brushing it onto a magazine with like a napkin or something. She picks it up, like pushes it into her palm of her hand, takes it outside, and throws it out. And to that I say, nope, sorry, not happening. not a thing that's going to happen here sorry Carter does the same thing but with paper or a cup or something I don't think she's ever done one with her hands that's hardcore that's hardcore it's it's very hardcore and it's like I just will not cannot do that how can you tell when someone's married to Dave the crazy neighbor they pick up spiders with their hands that's how yeah it's just they've

got no you know nothing left to live for it's just I'm just gonna if that's a black widow oh well yeah he doesn't remind a reminder Brian doesn't say crazy neighbor he says crazy neighbors when he says it's plural yeah it's both of them they're plural plural marriage and it's weird how the the bars on their graph go up and down uh as to who's the crazier neighbor at times like it's wow it's like wow okay uh last weekend it was mrs crazy neighbor that was really topping out and mr crazy neighbor was uh and dave was not so crazy i feel like she took the cake though and she took a spider out with her hand that feels like yes anything dave does is more just like almost amusing now compared to that right yes exactly nicely done uh all right so that's what's

going on uh thank you for your patience sorry about yesterday we really did want to have a show in fact i'd i'd gotten everybody lined up i talked to our two guests the day before like i always do and just confirm they're going to be here and uh then i had to message him and say hey remember that thing yesterday said nope we're not talking today so goodbye anyway um it's too back because bill you and bill in the recovery stage of your COVID experience. You could have been COVID buddies yesterday. Could have been commiserating. I think I'd like to hear if he's experiencing COVID brain fog because I definitely am.

I was like, all right, well, we're not doing a show yesterday. So I said, great, I'll just catch up on some freelance. I don't know if I just zoned out for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or what. It just feels like all of a sudden I look up and it's 930, 945. and I'm like, I haven't done anything. That sounds, I mean, it's the common thing, right? The brain fog part. You hear everybody's got the brain fog and the tired, for sure.

Yeah, for sure. Which I think are tied together. I don't feel like those two things are all that separate. It feels like brain fog and fatigue and fatigue. There you go. Is that the deal? Body fog, brain fatigue. There you go.

Well, next time we have Bobby on, I think we need to talk about that too. Yeah, it wouldn't hurt. Although, you know, he's in the circle still. I'm out of the contest, Jeremy. but he's still in the circle there with you so oh that's true we got a we need a strategy bobby get your um we hunker down we need to we need to what do they call that we need to camp like in first and i'm not and i'm not glass half pulling this or silver lining this or anything scott but i will say this now that i've had covid and i've had the boosters i kind of feel a little bit more free like

like that that uh that that that shoe finally dropped that glass that was hanging off the edge of the table finally hit the floor yeah that's like that's i agree I don't need to sit there and worry about that. I was going to ask you about that. I mean, obviously, you can get it again, but the feeling of, I don't know, it's like, I get that a little bit every time I do a negative test. It's like, even though. Sometimes those streaks are bad. Like, ah.

Yeah, I don't have to worry about it for a little while. Like the next, this variant anyway. The next time I barf, even though it'll break this 15, 16 year streak, it'll be, it'll be kind of a release. right exactly because you won't have this stress of having to maintain your no barf streak that's right well i never want to maintain a no done away streak so let's have one of those broken no let's not never do that yeah never do that it's always dangerous welcome to the program mr brian dunaway who's here for babble royale hi brian oh hi scott and brian oh listen you on a web mic yeah you're on a weird web mic webcam mic yeah or something tap the tap the tap the one you think you're using

That's indeed what it was. A couple people did say beer, but I just compiled them all into donuts. Yeah, yes, good idea. You got a bit of a run here, dude. That's six. Got a game going on. 10 to 19. I've watched a few, I've watched this few Simpsons.

I'm probably one of my friends who continue to watch the Simpsons. They at least have one or two episodes good every year. I'm dude. I think they're great right now. I don't know what people's problem is. I know what people's problem is. They were kids and now they're not kids and they don't know what to think of it. I'm telling you, if you started when you were 18 and you're in your 50s now,

That show still holds up. It's still funny. It's had its dips for sure, but there's nothing wrong with new episodes of the Simpsons, and I stand by it. At D23, one of the panels we got into was a roundtable of Simpsons writers and artists, and it was headlined or moderated by Yardley Smith. So we had Lisa, you know, talking to all of the writers and animators and stuff. And there were a few planted in the crowd to ask questions. and one of the writers

wasn't Sam Simon or one of those I was hoping for but was sitting right in front of me. Oh, cool. That's cool. Should have had them sign your wiener or something. That would have been great. Yeah.

So what do you do at D23? You know what they have a rule at D23 that people can't sign or celebrities can't sign anything that wasn't purchased at D23. Oh, you've got to buy it there. You have to buy something there to have them sign. It's a good. It's a lame rule, but it's a...

That is the most capitalist bullshit thing ever heard. That is the most Bob Cheapeck thing I've ever heard. And there's a lot of Bob Cheapeck things. Yeah, that's lame. I don't like it. All right. Worst. Worst rule ever.

No, it's a good one. It's a good one. Worst rule ever. Good old comic book guy. All right. Show me worst or anything ever. Oh, nice. Yeah, worst blank ever.

Number five on the list. Oh, I don't like how close you're getting here. It's bugging me. All right. Keep going. Right. Oh, you're losing, Scott. I don't think I've got to say one thing about that.

Ha-ha. Nelson Mutz. Yes. All right. Show me. Boy, people have to so many different ways of typing this in. Show me. Ha-ha.

Man. That's one point of way. H-A-W. This was the largest car I could afford. I therefore be made fun of. Oh, man. That's one of my favorite episodes. I love that one.

can i ask a question real quick for answers the next one do any of these categorize themselves as like one-offs are these all repeatable i guess you can't tell us that i can't tell you that yeah uh never mind go ahead to be a catchphrase it has to be repeatable right like you don't no one's catchphrase is uh uh it was in the glass the whole time because she only says that one i guess she does say that twice right once in the middle People say, like when you say wrapped in plastic from Twin Peaks. Oh, yeah, there you go. That's not a catchphrase.

That's just a line, right? Yeah, the catchphrase is, oh, bite my chode or whatever, right? Like, it's... But does it count if it's like, if you say, so if I say wrapped in plastic all the time, the idea is that I caught it and keep saying it, right? Isn't that the part of the catch? Right. Okay.

So it could count, technically. Like, they said one thing once. And I'm not saying this is one of them because I don't think it is, but when... I don't think so. I think a catchphrase by a day. definition is something that a character or person says repeatedly. I don't think you can

I think it's, you know, it's a famous quote by, by what's his face on Brooklyn Peaks, but... Good point. Famous quote is different. Would fetch be a, would fetch be one? Is that... We're trying to make fetch a thing. Yeah. The definition

on the, let's see, whatever it is, it looks like it's Oh, you know what? It says the phrase in a wide or popular use, especially one serving is a slow for a group or movement. So I don't know if that... You know what?

Because the example that the dictionary, the Oxford Dictionary gives is, I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse, which was only said once in the movie. Yeah, so it's a phrase now. But we attribute it to that individual, right? When we think of that character, we think of that phrase. The problem is we all grew up on SNL when Chris Farley and all those guys are around,

and when they were just constantly, dropping like yeah like the acting one from john levitts right right we would hear it repeated in that ticket yeah yeah then that would we would say oh there's your catchphrase because he's using it all the time but really the definition extends to how often are we saying it not them necessarily right um like the quote you just did from godfather or whatever it was it's like yeah but still that's i mean is that then not a godfather catchphrase that's a in in people's vernacular i mean signfield Great example of this, right? Because a lot of the things that we repeat from Seinfeld aren't things that they would say all the time.

It was like, she's got done. I'm out. Yeah. Right. I'm out. Right. Exactly. Said one.

We repeat them all the time, even though that's such a good question. I don't know if catchphrases are, are, can be something somebody says once that just get repeated by everybody else. or if Well, here's what the British say. The British say, so I think the British have helped you with your definition a little bit. They say a well-known and frequently used phrase, especially ones associated with a particular group. Okay.

So the well-known and frequently, that could be frequently in the sense you're saying, or that could be the frequently we use it. Frequently said by the character or frequently said by the people who are fans of that character. See, this is what we do here. We learn and we spend time digging in, guys. That's what we do. Yeah. See, we've all learned something today.

I've learned that Scott likes to stall when he's losing three um three Brian's enter one Scott leaves all right go go Brian is it still your turn I think it is right still Brian's my turn yeah because um oh then I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with the one that I've I still use but I've removed all inflection from and I don't know if you're still use it or not I know exactly what you're going to say right yeah so I'm always I'm always I I'm all, whenever I help someone at work especially, I say, um, thank you, come again. And I say it in a straight voice instead of the offensive Indian voice. Sure.

Right. That is used. Sure. Yes. On the, uh, yeah. So thank you. Come again. Yeah.

Okay. All right. Let me show us. Thank you. Come again. Uh-huh. Number seven. I put you in the lead, man.

now you've got to run the board we got to make him win this way there are only two left on the board you guys still have five strike let's run this thing totally could yeah how about you're not number two yet though wow i don't know uh i i'm thinking i know my favorite one actually there's two favorite ones but i don't think anybody else would like it but i'm going to go scanner i'm going to do super nintendo chalmers he's one of my favorite characters ever nintendo chalmers is awesome Skinner. Yeah.

All right. So good. Show me, Skinner. Oh, I was rooting for you, dude, on that one. Was that on the list at all, Brian? Skinner, I don't think. It's too bad. Wow.

Yeah, I don't remember seeing any when I was sorting and adding these up. All right. No, no. Brian, how do you? Oh, I take that back. Nope. Two people said it, so it's a number. 33.

Thank God. It feels like justification. That's good. So Brian, visiting Brian, how do you feel about eat my shorts? How do you feel about that? Oh, that's a classic. I was thinking that one as well. Okay.

Let's go eat my shorts because I bet that's number two. Let's go eat my shorts then. Let's do it. Here's another pee here. You know, that's not offensive. If you can say it like, like Bart wants. Oh, yeah, it's fine. Eat my shorts, man.

That was, wow. Eat my shorts, Francis. Wow. It is number two. Good job. Nice. Listen, Nancy Carr, I can do it. I can't do it.

Number two on the board is eat my shorts. Eat my shorts. I follow her on Twitter. What do you just eat my shorts? All she does on, not Twitter. I follow her on TikTok and all she does is Bart voices. It's weird. It's very weird.

Oh, really? Yeah. Which I think is kind of her career. So I guess it's fine. Why isn't she doing that on cameo for 50 bucks a pop? She might be. I don't know. Well, maybe.

Yeah. Somebody asked me to do cameo. the other day. They say, why aren't you on cameo? You guys should be on there. And I'm like, well, because it feels weird. It's a weird thing. It's like saying, why am I not on only fans? And I know it's not the same. I know it's not, I know Camio's

not a bunch of naked people, but it's the same. It just feels weird. Is it the same? It's not the same. The only reason I've got on cameo, is it, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. You know, if people want, if people want me to do a horrible Bart Simpson impersonation wishing them a happy birthday, I'll totally do it.

All right. Totally do it. I'm signing up for Cameo. today. Brian, we should sign up. What's that? I like that idea. They don't want you to do the Brian Ibet thing. They want you to do an impression of something that you don't do. I would think so. Yeah. I mean, well, I mean, if they said, hey, just wish my friend a happy birthday, 10 bucks, whatever. I would totally do it.

Right. Yeah, you'd say, take, pick a voice, any voice. Right. Brilliant at doing an impression. You know, you know who kills it at Cameo, I've heard, is Debbie Gibson of all people. Really? She will. Wow.

Yeah. You pay her to wish somebody a happy birthday, and she goes over to her big grand piano, and she performs a song for them for $10. Would she be offended if you asked her to do a Bart Simpson? Only in her dreams. She would. You know what? For $10, I'm going to see if Debbie Gibson can do a Bart Simpson. She can only do it at the mall in the food court.

Okay. That's the only place. That's all you're going to get. All right. Ask your parents. Where were we? Oh, it's our turn still. Brian visiting Brian do you have any hopping out left on one answer left on the board if you guys get this we can do it yeah then Brian wins the prizes but not you bring double okay no I'm torn between two Flanders quotes all right yes oh I am two and I know one of them yeah and hi didly hoe I feel like okly dokely dole is your better bet but high didley ho is not bad I vote I vote for your first one let's do that one let's do that one all right ho name or no

Yeah, it's almost like we need to have an episode of just favorite Ralph Wiggum comments. That's so tough. One of my favorite quotes from the show right here. It's funny. they don't know him. I love that one. Well done. This means Brian's the winner.

Congratulations. You're a winner. He's that Brian, the other Brian, the Brian that doesn't come on the show all the time. And Brian, I'm really glad you called in because these prizes are yours. You just have to send Brian, that is to say, Ibit, an email, coverville at gmail.com. He will send you your codes and you'll walk away triumphant. How do you feel? Feel great.

First time I was able to call in. Well, I'm glad to have you, man. He seemed like... First time lucky. Doesn't he sound like the kind of guy he's going to hang out with? Seems like a guy just want to hang out with, doesn't he? I would, except we'd get confused as to who's Brian. That's true.

Right. There'd be a lot of Bryans. Hey, other Brian in Columbia. Where do I need to eat next to him in Columbia? It depends on what you like. You like barbecue? Yes. Who doesn't?

Docs Barbecue on shop. Docks? Docks? Yeah. Off a shop road near the Williams-Brice Stadium. That sounds fantastic. Here we go. All right.

You get the fire up to 288. That's one of my favorite lines for the Simpsons. I forgot about that. I don't want to be a game cock. Yeah, I don't want to be a game cock. Nobody wants to be a game cock. That's true. Well, thank you again, Brian for calling in.

And Brian Dunaway, thank you for being a part of today's show. You know, the pleasure is usually ours when you're here. We did an episode of Play Retro yesterday. It was all about Batman movie tie-in games from the 90s. And you might think there's very little to say about that, but there's actually quite a bit of depth there and worth discussing. So that's what we did. If you like old video games and the retro scene in general,

and you want to hear us blab on about it and talk about the cool hardware we're doing and all that stuff, check it out, play retro wherever you get your podcasts. Done away, you got anything else you want to say here to us? No, you. Oh, damn it. I'm too slow. Slow. All right, well done.

We are going to take a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt will be here. And after that, we'll have recommendals. We've got Nicole, I believe, although I haven't heard from her this morning. Let's see. Oh, she's in here. She's in the chat even. Oh, yep.

She sent me a clip too, although we already recommended this, but that's okay. We'll just call it a revisit. And then, yeah, that's it. Oh, and I think today's song break is brought to us by somebody, Brian. Who is it? Yeah, if you don't tune out when Scott talks about Kim's Garden and cooking, or if you find it interesting how they have replaced portions of their grass with clover, this is something you'd be interested in available for only 10 days september 16 through the 25th the off-grid homestead bundle has something for everyone gardening cooking baking foraging beekeeping chickens bekeeping chickens sustainable living tiny homes off-grid solar panel setups and tons more over 140 courses and e-books valued at over six thousand dollars will be available for only 50 bucks check it out at the garden is growing dot com the garden

I don't have, I never have to these. But my arm feels like I was stung by a bee. So there's that. That's all I get. And that's just fine. It is all I get. I don't know how to interpret it, though. Dr. Tolbert remind me, is this a good sign or a bad sign?

Totally. Everybody reacts to it differently. It's totally fine. All right. Kim either. She was totally fine. Anyway, so we got a song now. What are we doing?

Yeah. Let's play this one. It's from a band from St. Paul, Minnesota. They are kicking off their brand new tour for their brand new album. The album is called The Healing Tour, very much related to this song right here. This is, let's see, the album, this is the title track from the album. So everything is called The Healing. The album, The Healing, comes out October 7th via Royal Potato.

Family Records. This is the title track from the band Ghost Light. Here is The Healing. The Silent Mind, My Lonely Mind, no one gets here for free. The silent social light divides the night into the dreamer and the dreamer and the dreamer. Someone's been living my life And it clearly hasn't been me I'm awake and I am free Oh, the healing There's lots are clear up in our very fast prison hide

hide and sip can't disappear chasing who runs and then the new lives beyond them you're buried through a sea of fear for it's lighting

out of the sky and shooting right under our feet I feel the earth come a row moving up to meet the healing Remind me fun in the morning

Loudly is room for me under the sheets The night is known to lie in voice Unified I can hear myself over the screens Now you watch me turn my head 360 degrees I said Someone call me a priest Yeah

The poets, prophets, and kings, all to look it out in the street. There's only one word I believe. It's the healing, yeah, it's the healing, oh, it's the healing, oh, it's the healing, Oh, I'm kind of hungry. I'm kind of hungry. Good thing I know about the thing that will make me not hungry.

Hey, what was that song again there? That song was called The Healing from the album The Healing from the group, Ghostlight. But check them out on tour on The Healing tour, starting in St. Paul, Minnesota.

So the healing, then, the healing. The healing is what I'm saying. The healing, Scott, the healing. Great. So the healing. Real quick note here. What was I going to say about the, it just reminded me something about the shot that I got. No, I don't remember what it was. Oh, oh, we get there and this lady goes, are you in line?

And we said, oh, no, we're just waiting for the vaccinations over here. She goes, that's still a thing? And I went. And I went, oh, boy, here we go. And Kim says, yeah, we're here for the new one. She goes, there's a new one? And she goes, well, no, it's for the new variant. It's a booster.

Booster. Who needs a, if you get the thing, why do you? And she was just like starting to go off. And I'm like, Kim, stop talking to that lady. Don't talk to her. Don't feed this troll. All of the information's out there if she wants to find it. Let her go get it.

Exactly. Exactly. So dumb. All right. Let's get into the thick of it here. Yeah. Tom Merritt joining us. If I can add him. I'm ready to learn some tech.

from the man. Me too, man. You know, you guys screwed with me last week. I'll explain in a second when Tom joins us, but you and Tom are responsible for something that happened. I'll explain what you did. But first, I have to play this. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. So the man is Tom Merritt. And before we get to the meat of this, I wanted to let Tom Merritt and Brian a bit know. It's their fault. Because last week, we had this discussion. It was in the wake of the shadow of the Apple announcement. I know where you're going with this.

And I was like, hey, I was like, hey, guys, I'm just going to live with the 12, another run here. I'm fine. I'm good. I don't think I need that 13 Probe Plus unit deal. And then you guys, Brian, well, Tom, in particular, I think we're extolling some of the virtues of the higher-end model, the stupid little island thing, the better camera, all this stuff.

And I'm like, well, I am two years. and then while we were finishing up the segment, I went and freaking bought it. So thanks a lot, guys. You got me. Well done. Apple owes you up. What is yours due to arrive, Scott?

October's, who knows what. Wow. Night is October who knows what, too. Tom, you probably were. Maybe I shouldn't talk about the one I got. Oh, look at you. It is. It is.

It's in an otter box case, but you can store to see the purple up there at the top. Does the outer box case still work with the mag safe? Yeah. Yeah, this one does. I got an otter box case that it has a gradient, so it's black on the bottom and then clear on the top. Yeah. Now, does it feel like a small television in your hands if you hold it? It does.

Okay. Yeah, compared to my old one here. Oh, yeah. Do you have a view? I would love the comparison because this is the old pro. I didn't get the max last time. Oh, yeah, okay, yeah. But quite a bit bigger.

Yeah. Oh, look at that. Nice. That's a larger phone. I'm so ready for that because my eyes, my eyes. My eyes suck. 6.7 inches, man. I don't want to change the font size on my phone.

I just want a bigger phone. Here's the thing. I ended up going for the max because I wanted that big screen. I wanted the ability to watch video and nice big screen. I wanted to be able to read like you're saying because my eyes too. And so I got all that and I'm very happy with that. It is heavier and harder to hold. Now, when I say that, don't be like, oh, it's not that.

Tommy Tom. No, I'm not saying it's heavy. It's like I can't lift it. But, you know, compared to a smaller phone, yet dropping it in a pocket, holding it for a long time. It is a little bit harder to manage in that way. I still think I, I still think I like the tradeoff, though. I still think that it is worth it because when I have gone back to the old one to, you know, pull something off of it or check something or whatever, like right that first day when I was moving things back and forth, I would get to the old one and it would feel small. It would feel cramped. So even though it's a maybe a little bit harder on my wrists, it's not that much. And I think the tradeoff is worth it. The dynamic island is unremarkable. I forget it's there.

So there are some people doing some really cool things with their apps, and I wonder if you've run into this. You can tell us, I guess, if you ever haven't. But they're, that you'll open their app and the island remains, right, like it, like it should. But they put, they put like a little character up on top dancing on it, like a little guy. Oh, yeah, you can do animations in it. So when you're watching music, it'll, it'll show like, you know, I think they're fake, but, you know, as if the, the, you're seeing the levels. waveforms, yeah, right. It's just, it's just a generic way form animation, but I totally can see.

That's so cool that somebody's like, well, if you can do that, I can have a little guy up. there's some i mean it's all useless it's kind of useless but the idea is fun you know at least they're having fun with it i suppose but uh interesting yeah but it's your it's your fault and so thanks for that it's not a big huge deal because i've already got the monthly ding dong i should do this anyway like why am i not doing it so i'm doing it but well yeah you were already on the subscription plan right so well i was but i at the end of it you have the option to hop off you can get out. And you were going to hop off the train. And I was going to hop off for a year just like, hey, I'll have no payments for that for a year. And then I talked to you guys and I went, no, I will

have a payment. I think it's incredibly smart for them to do the subscription plan, especially like bundling in AppleCare and all that stuff. Eileen has that. I do not. Yeah. Other than not, you know, not getting AppleCare included, though, I kind of look at it and I'm like, well, I mean, I'm operating as if I am. because I'm using my Apple card and doing the monthly payments because that gives you a discount, right? Right. Right. And so I look at it and I'm like, I mean, this is kind of the same thing. I'm just managing it myself. You're just doing, yeah. You have more control over it. But there's something to be said for that too, I think, you know, the feeling like I don't want some company telling me what to do. And I'm not saying you're some sort of rebel in that regard. But, you know, especially because I did a trade in. So I'm going to be sending this one back. Same right. I've got 14 days to send this back. Just like I would if I was on the subscription plan. Which means as you're putting it into the box, it'll slip out of your hands, hit the floor and crack, is what's going to happen.

That's my luck you're talking about, not Tom's. Tom will probably be fun. I'm just going to move this a little farther from the edge. Thank you for that reminder. Nice, nice. Well, obviously, that's a thing. But also, there's, you know, new stuff brewing today for the Daily Tech News show. What are you seeing out there? I honestly, I asked the folks in the chat if they would rather hear me talk about the new iPhone, what I'm thinking of it, or another story.

and they basically all wanted to hear more about the iPhone. Oh, wow, all right. Sure, sure, why not? So there will be a story I almost can guarantee this will be in Daily Tech News show about Getty images restricting AI-generated art, basically banning it, saying we are not going to allow you to sell, upload and sell AI-generated content in our marketplace. And they're not the first marketplace to do that. Shutterstock has not done it. they are like doing a limitation on AI generated art but they're not stopping it from being sold so that the text to image generators out there are are a big story right now I think they're

frankly kind of undercover for how big I think they're going to be they are quickly becoming a dominant thing and I I think this copyright fear that Getty has is going to be a contentious issue. I think it's eminently solvable and may it would be easily solvable legislation, but you know, it may get solved without it. But that's one of the things we'll talk about on the show. And Scott, you know, with you being on today, that's going to be excellent to hear your perspective as an artist on that. Yeah, I'm very curious about it. Obviously, I follow this stuff pretty closely and some of it is part of the reason I follow it closely and like to hear what's going on. Part of it is to assuage my fears about what this does to

artists. Because I do, I have, I have concerns about what it could do, not to me so much, but to people who make a living doing, let's say, concept art for a film like Star Wars. What is to stop, what is to stop Disney Star Wars from saying, you know what for our next movie, we're just going to tell a computer what we're looking for. And they can kind of do it. Like, we're just doing concept art. And it does do a pretty good job of rendering out, hey, here's a space port with a bunch of stuff. And, you know, you can be very verbose with it and have it deliver those results. That's just concerning as a, as somebody who wants to see that stuff thrive. But at the same time, I think paying attention to it has helped me be less so that

way because I'm, you know, you start to get into the minutia of it and you realize, oh, well, there are some downsides to it. And, and right now there's not a, there's no actually clear answer to some of these downsides. And so when, when it comes down to it, yes, it will, there's some automation there that will replace some things, but then there's some stuff that never will. And then there's some combinations that are interesting. We're seeing some artists who are generating a bunch of stuff with AI, and then they go in and augment change and create from that and are doing some crazy cool looking work, which is almost like an art form in itself. So I'm trying to be open-minded about it is what I'm saying. And following it has helped me do that.

I would challenge anybody out there who thinks or worries, that you can, anybody can just go to a text image generator and replace an artist. Go try. And I'm not being saucy when I say that. Like go, go try to do something. Like try to, try to replace Scott's art, right? Go for it. It's way harder than you think to get those things to output what you want.

And if you do it, I think at the end, you'll realize, oh, that was work that I did to make it do that. And if you can do it, I would also add. maybe that's a skill that you could market, that you're good at creating those text props, right? You know what the words or the keywords are to use to get the thing that you're looking for. No different than being someone who's good at Photoshop, even if they're not great at photography, right? But there are people who are like, I'm not so great at taking pictures, I'm really good at touching them up and manipulating them. And that's a job. That's a job that people have. Yesterday's DTNS, we talked about a New York Magazine article about this. And one of the things that caught my eye, to your point, Scott,

there's a design director who's using text image generators to make concept art that he wouldn't have time for or budget. He's like, I don't have to hire photographers and illustrators. I can just know what I want, write the prompt, and get something that's going to look better than the concept art from competing design directors because they're all pulling from the same shutter stock and Getty databases. Right. And so I stand out because I have something.

something custom that I wouldn't be able to afford to have custom in other cases. So you combine those two things, the fact that making the text image generators do what you want is a skill and it can actually help assist the artists in most cases where they don't have the budget otherwise. You know, I feel like it's not, it's certainly going to change everything. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to say it won't. But it won't replace everything.

No, not, yeah. Again, it's, you know, it's easy to, it's also easy to get caught up in the idea. that we're making a lot of assumptions about this future that we really know very little about I always think about that Lotus 1-2-3 story that I bring up all the time about how I was going to kill all those accounting jobs and instead it created millions of them or beyond well beyond that and I'm not saying it's exactly the same or you know one-to-one here but it is it is interesting and if I'm like if I'm a small game developer and I'm like I'm going to make the next big computer RPG and I'm even going to buy the D&D license so we're going to have the underpinnings of

those rules and and the world's set in that and all of that and the old way was well we got to hire an artist to make 200 possible painterly portraits to choose from for each of these characters that's a huge part of those games yeah or now an ai can literally do it in about five minutes and have all 200 of those at a fraction pennies of the cost how can you argue with that like yeah you can't that's of course they're going to do that especially a small developer of course they'll do it yeah there's no arguing with that guy so So, I don't know, I'm just trying to navigate it in a way that doesn't jump the gun too hard. It's so easy to do that today with things like NFTs or a million other problems out there. Like, I just think this is, this can be both interesting, infuriating, fascinating, and cool at the same time. I actually think it's possible that we can have all those aspects happening with AI generated art. And we're just getting their heads around it. And we're, you know, try not to jump the gun too fast, but also I get your concerns because I have them too.

All right. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance, but in general, when humans create new tools, they tend to disrupt and then improve life. Right. So the disruption is what everybody rightfully is concerned about and should be, but don't lose sight of if we get through the, once we get through their disruption, you have an improvement, like the accounting example, right? like there was disruption suddenly you didn't need people to do certain you know tedious tool you know tedious jobs that that lotus one two three could replace but then that freed up resources to do things you didn't have the ability to do before and that game design thing is a great example that new york magazine article that i mentioned also talked about a game designer who is using it to make like

600 to a thousand pieces of art for his game and is like these are good enough for me to launch as an indie. But if I get a distribution deal, they'll provide the basis for professional artists to come in and touch them up and make them even better. Yeah. And you'd want to, right? Like, that's the other thing. There's just, there's a scale here. And the end, like on the game side, the indie, the indies are going to, they're going to love this because they can still be, it's rare that you can be the one guy that does your art, your programming, your music, your dialogue, your everything. You see that once in a while and it's amazing. You're blown away by these wonderkins that come out with a single game and it's just them doing it. But this just opens it up and says, hey, you programmer nerds that can't

draw for crap, now you can afford this. And then that'll grow. And now maybe you can afford real artists later, but right now this is going to get you through. And there's something. Placeholder enough to get, yeah. There's something good about that. And don't forget, there's a different art sensibility that is needed for this, right? Not every programmer is going to be able to make text to AI or text to image do what it wants. Right. You're going to have a new opportunity for people to say, oh, I'm, I'm good at making it do. what you want. I'm available as a contractor to do that.

You know, Lassarge is mentioning the common worry, which is if small companies lean on this, then they won't be hiring beginning artists, which makes it harder to get into the art world, which totally makes logical sense when you think about it in that

narrow way. But you have to remember that that was the argument for Lotus 1,2, 3, and instead, it made it easier for people to get into the accounting world because people could learn Lotus 1, 2, 3, and then become accountants instead of having to learn all the tedious stuff that Lotus 1,2, 3 replaced, which was a barrier. So it may limit the current prop of what people do to become an artist,

but it may open up new wider avenues for people to become an artist in a different way. Yeah, once again, the unknown is unknown. And the parts we know, well, we're doing the best we can. And we'll do that today on the Daily Tech News show. We'll talk about this and other stuff that has come up in the tech world on a Wednesday. Tom Merritt, I know that's going on, but you always have something cool happening on the side. what's going on there. Yeah, if people haven't checked out a word with Tom Merritt,

that's a new show that I'm doing. I'm having so much fun with it. We have got some great episodes in The Hopper. We did one recently with Brian Brushwood, where he, like, I can't thank him enough for just opening up and talking about his worries and his fears and what keeps him up at night and what no longer keeps him up at night and what.

And the word was ambition that we were talking about. We just had Mallory O'Mara on talking about research because she's a historian. So, you know, the do your research kind of stuff. We had a great conversation of like, hey, I'm a historian. This is what research actually means. And I don't always, I'm not always able to do it for every single thing. So really, really cool.

We've got some upcoming ones on transparency. Howard Mortman from C-SPAN is going to be on talking about that. We've got Josh Grisdale, who is someone who moved to Japan and became a citizen, talking about the word immigrant. Andrea Jones Roy is going to come on and talk about identity. You may have heard her on Andrew Heaton's podcast. So if those sound interesting, you want to hear those interesting conversations, go check out Awordpodcast.com. Fantastic.

Please do, everybody. It's Tom Merritt. He's Ace Detect on Twitter. So follow him there. We'll see you next time. Have a great week. Bye, all. Bye now.

Hey, aren't you, you're on there, right? I was, yes, with the word podcast of all things, of all things to pick with me, the word podcast. That's awesome. If he ever has me on, my word will be a boner. Good. It's a good place to start, I think. Yeah, I'm going to get cranking with that boner. All right.

Yeah, I mean, we didn't, we obviously, that word was a launching point. We didn't stay on just podcasts, but, God, it was so much fun. I can't wait to hear. I know you'll be on soon. At some point, I'm sure I will be, but I'm fine waiting my time. it's not a problem uh all right i'm going to add two people to the call okay so that we can properly i know two people we're doubling the show is what we're doing the show is being doubled right now just like it was earlier with our guest brian with brian and brian oh that's right and now our brian's

tripled earlier i play this hey that music means hooray for hollywood and it's time for recommendals where we take sometimes obscure stuff from all over the streaming world and share it with you especially if you haven't ever heard of these things are kind of rare and weird you know you've heard all you've seen all the mainstream stuff and you're like man i i know what that is but what about this weird documentary brian founder what about this strange music video that scott found or whatever well that's what we do here in recommendals and we're happy to be doing it today we have our two guests with us mr randy jordan and of course Nicole spagnolo hi nico hi brian or randy can you hear me okay i can you hear me okay i

It does sound like you're near a waterfall, but it's very nice. It's a fan. So we got a new shop. Yeah. We bought an old firehouse, a decommissioned firehouse. You guys are like Ghostbusters. That's so cool. Totally.

But I moved my office into the shop today, this morning. And the air conditioner went out, and I'm like, oh, this is a big mistake. is it really hot i'm assuming it's very hot you know when you're sweating and you get that trickle of sweat that just goes right down your spine oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah that's my world right now that's fantastic that's so cool though an old firehouse oh man you're living a dream there that's so right and the police hang out in front of you because that's kind of their hangout spot to catch speeders or something isn't that the deal they do they do were you did you see Mark, talk about that?

I spy on you guys. No, when we had our last Denver dinner with you guys, you talked about that. That's hilarious. Well, I hope that it's cooler. I just had a tremendous moment about 45 minutes ago while you guys were just getting started on Tad Pooley Feud. I decided, I'm going to play a round of PubG. I'm just going to jump in, play around. You know, like I'll sit here and listen to you while I play around a PubG.

Sure. That went all the way to the final two as you were. calling me for this segment. I'm in one building and the other guy is in another building. So it's still going on. A little circle around us. And I just hit exit to desktop and I thought, oh man, how cool is it for that guy? He just got winner, winner chicken dinner.

He didn't have to do anything. No, he probably wondered what the frick happened. Like a war of attrition kind of moment or something for him. That's unfortunate. Well, it's good to have you both here. We're going to talk about streaming stuff. And this week we're going to do Brian first. And then the order is, who knows?

We'll get to it. But Brian, why don't you tell me what we got here with this clip? I will. This is kind of the setup for a television show. This is a series, two-season series, that is on Amazon Prime. And you might recognize one of the voices in this clip. Oh, all right. Here you go.

You each have over 100 hours to serve. You have been tasked with restoring this into a community. community centre for the local community. You will work four hours each visit. Only when I am happy with the work you have done will I log those four hours. Take another one. During clean up duty, if you find a deceased animal over 10 kilos, do not touch it. That is the council's business.

anything under 10 kilos, vermin, cats, a small dog, that is yours. Can we keep it? No, you may not. And you may be wondering about feces. You read my mind. If you find human feces, do not touch it. You may handle other species feces. Can we keep it?

No, you may not. I don't have any idea. This sounds great though. for walking you were hearing right there by the way um this is a tv series called the outlaws this is a two two season series started in 2021 um created by elgin james and stephen merchant you only hear stephen merchant in that clip but he's uh he's definitely one of the seven people seven strangers sounds like the real world that were pulled from different walks of life and uh forced to work together because of their crimes to complete a community service project, which is fixing up

this community center. And you might think, oh, well, that sounds like a funny premise already. And just that alone would be funny. It gets even funnier and darker when a big bag of money falls out of the ceiling in this old decrepit community center and they have to figure out what they're going to do with it and it kind of becomes a kind of a breaking bad level of turns and still keeping the dark comedy but getting very dark and twisted along uh along those those lines um it's really really good i don't know who recommended this to me i think it actually just might have been apple tv and their little

bottom thing their little bottom tab said hey if you like back to life you might like the outlaws and watch the first episode got hooked it is a complete story so you're not getting a um a season two cliffhanger season two is where they planned to end it i believe and um uh and you get a complete story um it's really really good i like when they do that i like when they have a plan for that right like it's like hey we got a story to tell we need i don't know 20 episodes to do it, two seasons, bam, boom, you're done. We don't need more than two seasons to do it. We're not going to try and grub it out, looking at you under the dome, Stephen King.

And this is 100% on Amazon Prime, right? The chat seems to be a little confusing. The whole thing is on Amazon Prime. And Christopher Walken, Stephen Merchant, are your big recognizable faces. If you're a fan of, I think the show is Hannah. Oh, I love Hannah. Hannah's awesome. then you're also going to recognize

Rian Barreto Rian Barreto and Gamba Cole because they were both apparently in Hanna and I didn't realize that Hannah's awesome really good also on Prime.

Is it? Yeah, okay, cool, I need to see it. It's very good. Oh, I know why the chat room's confused. He saw the thing on, but so the way Apple TV works, they'll make recommendations for other services because they're like the overall hub. Oh, I see.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what that is. Amazon Prime. Yeah, Apple TV recommended it, but they can recommend everything except Netflix. For whatever reason, Apple TV and Netflix don't talk to each other. They're cousins that completely and totally hate each other. But it is weird, right? It's a little weird. It really is. It's frustrating because that whole watch next, like that keeps track of what series you're currently watching or things you've added to your list. It shows everything in every other streaming platform except for Netflix. And it's frustrating. hell because then I have to go back to Netflix to say, oh, what am I watching here that I haven't finished? Yeah, my guess is that Netflix says, yeah, we don't want to be in your little list there or something.

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what they're saying. And it's they're losing out. It's their, you know, they're the ones missing out. Anyway, two seasons, I think six episodes per season or series, because it's a British, a British show. Yeah. So 12 whole episodes,

you'll fall in love with these seven characters and actually eight or nine characters once you start getting other people involved just as such a great a great cast, great characters. I'll tell you what, with this and severance, I am here for this

era where Christopher Wacken is taking series jobs. I freaking love it. I think it's great. And he's also the emperor in the new Dune movie coming up. Dune Part 2. Oh, really? Yeah. Very excited about that. Nice. I'm totally with you, Scott. But like,

I'm not saying I've gotten enough Christopher Walken, but I want all of his generation to be doing this. I don't just want Christopher Walken and John Totoro at every sort of like mid-70s older man role. You know what I mean? Yeah, it'd be cool to see more. I agree. I agree.

Yeah. It seems just kind of odd. Like I didn't think I'd ever see him doing this. And yet here he is. And like I thought Severance was better for it. I know, right? I cannot wait for season two. I'm still, I'm still kind of reeling from the Emmys. Have we talked about the Emmys at all?

We talked here about who won and stuff. Those are a thing? Those are a thing still? Yeah, they exist. Oh, you're doing that. Oh, I love that. Oh, Pokemon Go is still a thing. I don't, I'm kind of with Nicole.

I don't like these award shows. They're just, they're lame. They're not my thing. And I told you why I watch them. It's a way to find out about shows that you're not currently watching. And we discovered a whole bunch of stuff because of that. So that's the way I look at it. I benefit from Brian doing that because then he'll come on the show and say,

hey, I watch this thing because I heard about it on the Emmys. Now I find out and now I'm good. And so like the Oscars. The way to approach them all is to say getting nominated is the victory. Yes. Like that's what you say. Like all of these shows that got nominated.

That's what people say when they're up there too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then and then you're good. And then you don't really care too much about who wins the actual award.

Right. It's like that like it's, they've given me all sorts of really entertaining things to consider that's what that's what matters well that is what matters here's also what matters we're going to move on to nicole you're next uh okay i see the clip here this is actually something i recommended or we recommended on the show a long long time ago but it was when you're out i for well so i forgot about it i'm glad you're talking about it again because it's great it's so good i meant to watch it there's a set and it says there's a second season coming i was like all right because i am still mad at netflix for not doing a second season of

of, I'm not all, I'm not okay with this. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, it was so good. It was so good. Everybody wants to complain about all that animation getting canceled by everybody, including them. But the one I was most mad about was that.

That's such a cool show. So now I look for the, oh, second season is coming. And I'm like, all right, I'll go back to it. And this is one that I forgot about. I meant to watch. And now they're doing a second season. and I'm loving it. And I don't know why I didn't register.

I had something else in my head of what it was going to be like, totally not what it's like. So there you go. It's also nothing, I shouldn't say nothing like the comic, but it's really different than the comic. And I was okay with that. Because maybe that's what I had in my head, that it was going to be more like the comic. It's very much not. I mean, the comic is very brutal and violent. It's got all kinds of really dark tones to it, that Jeff Lemire.

is his name? I forget the artist and writer. I can't remember his name. Anyway, it's, let's play the clip and then we'll explain the title, so we don't have to answer. Here you go. Oh, there we go. Once upon a time, bad people ruled the earth.

They were greedy and self-destructive. So nature made everyone sick. Excuse me? Are you a doctor? And then... A miracle happened. They called them hybrids. Your kind. It's your job to live a full life.

But some bad people are still out there, Gus. If I hear a voice... I will run. If I see a human... I will hide. We have reason to believe that you are hovering an animal child. It's me, you little freak. Thank you.

Oh, that show is so good. Season two out, no, season two is not out. But if you go into Netflix, it'll say it's coming. Yeah, it is coming. It's confirmed. That's definitely getting good. I'm catching up on season one right now. Say the name.

Sweet Tooth. There we go. Yep. Because I'm like, wait, did they make more Last Man on Earth? What's happening now? I know, right? Is this the North? Will Forte does a lot of work.

He sure does. I love Will Forte in Last Man on Earth. And I didn't realize he was in Sweet Tooth. And that's another show. The Last Man on Earth that I was really upset was canceled. Yeah. They actually, I dug in to that show a little bit more. and they had a plan for it

and they did an interview that talked about what was actually going to happen. So really, I don't know if you, I don't know if you saw that, but it's, it's not I did not. I'm, it's not as satisfying. It's been off the air for three years and I'm still very upset. So you can kind of get closure by looking

at the plan for the next season or the last. So they ended last man on earth with a bunch of people finding them and they get brought into that community. And hilarity ensues. Yes.

Just a non-stop party. A lot of death. A lot of death. But it's funny because the comic is so much worse. Like by worse, I mean so much more death. A sweet tooth you mean? Oh, yeah. Sorry, yeah, I'm back to the sweet tooth.

Which is funny. Yeah. Because, I mean, your sweet tooth has the same premise. There's a virus. It's killed so many people. Right. What's with Will Forte in these shows that have a virus? Yeah.

So this is the one that I didn't watch because it's about someone who's like half man, half deer, and I'm just like, no, no way, no. Well, there's a little boy half deer. Yeah, a little boy, but you'll be happy to hear, uh, uh, uh, Randy that there are also half pig, half kids, you know, half half. Yeah, they're called, yeah. You're not interested. There's a reason. There's like it's all tied in. I don't like shows that have half animal people.

Yeah, just like it, it assumes. What about catwoman? Oh. It assumes that some beastiality was going on previously for the parents' generation. I'm just not interested. Well, they explain the mutation pretty well, but it's a, it's a, it's a, if I, I still think, I think it's very good. And I think Nicole's right to recommend it.

We recommended it before. But the reason I'm a little hesitant on it is only that I think the comic is a little more biting and edgy. And I prefer that. But as a result, this is a much more broader audience thing. People can really get into this from kind of a bunch of different demographics. graphics and not feel like it's just some kind of horror-filled nightmare. Yeah, but I do recommend the comic.

It could go there easy. You know, it's, it's big, scary concepts. And I was like, why didn't I watch this? I was like, when did it come out? When did it come out? Was it during lockdown? When was that? It's got this guy, I love it.

Oh, go ahead, Brian. It came out like when we had Umbrella Academy and Lock and Key and all these things kind of all at the same time. And it felt like, because I kind of feel, I know what you're talking about, right? Because it almost felt like, oh, my God, it's almost too much of these kinds of shows all at the same time. We still, we watched them, but, and we loved them, but I totally get what you're saying. Netflix had a real rush of genre stuff for a couple years there, and this was definitely one of those. But the guy, so the dude, what plays, this freaking name, hold on.

It plays Tommy Jeopard, one of the main characters, this nonzo, a nosy guy, the big guy. some people may recognize him from Game of Thrones way back in the day played Zaro Zhao Daxos Anyway Really hard to ignore this guy Because he fills the screen

But he is so great in this And did an amazing job Very different than the character in the book But I actually think it's better I think he's really great So yeah That show's great People should watch it

It is Netflix I'm not sure when season two It's supposed to be coming out But it's soon So catch up on The first season, if you missed it. It was 2021, June of 2021. It was when it came out.

Yep, just about a year and a half ago. Okay, I'll watch it. Okay. I think you might like what they do at the animal thing. Yeah. They're not like furries or anything. It's like a different kind of, not saying, I'm not saying you don't like furries, Randy.

I'm just saying it's like it's not, it isn't the man animal thing I think you're thinking of. I think it's, they have a really unique idea. It's like a spontaneous thing and it happens across the board. Like, there is a point where just all the children, no matter what, kind of like, um, what was the movie where all the, all the babies stopped being born? Oh, children of men, yeah. Kind of that same vibe, right? Yeah, very much. There's just something in the world that has caused every single baby to be born a hybrid.

I could watch children of men again. That's a good reminder of that movie's awesome. I love that movie. It's when we were listening to the clip, I thought of C. it just sounded like C to me sure sure you know what it's you're going to get a similar I could see why yeah I could see why that thing's in the thick of its third season I can't third and final I can't wait to get caught up on that I love that show all right here is Randy's recommendation Randy I've got a clip here for you as well do you have any set up for this

a lot of people have already seen this you're gonna know exactly what it is but a lot of I see a lot of people in the Tadpool Facebook group come along and say, should I watch this? And it's another one of those like, yes, yes, you should freaking watch it. Like, do you do you not have any time? Watch this show. It's great. Everybody's watching it and we're

having a lot of fun because it's fun. This is a fun show. And you're going to know exactly what show it is as soon as you hear the two people talking, they're driving in a car. All right, here we go. Here's the fun. What's up with this? Cheetos and chopsticks.

Yes. So you don't get Cheetah's fingers. Sh, that's really smart. You're not the only genius in the family. No, there's also Chet. Okay, so, back to what I was saying before, my theory. Oh, God. Steve Rogers did not have a girlfriend before he went into the service.

Says who? The History Channel. So he becomes Captain America. And from that moment on, a symbol of America, he is rushed to the front lines. He becomes a war hero. Then he is frozen in ice. So, based on everything you've told me, after he gets unfrozen, he goes from world-threatening disaster to world-threatening disaster. That's when he's not a fugitive from the law, right?

So it seems like he was pretty, pretty busy. All you're doing is repeating everything that I've already told you about my friend and golly. Okay. She never gets to the conclusion. The conclusion is he was a 70-year-old virgin. She's what, what? Oh, it's so awesome when the joke doesn't. get a pay off.

So this is your, this is your, she Hulk is what this is. Shehulk attorney at law. I love shehook. Which has been a long time coming. Like if you, if you look at the comics,

right? Like, wow. This was, this was sort of like set in stone for 50 years or something, you know? Yeah. Like that we were going to get a,

like, you know, like watching TV all our lives, right? And there's always like these, uh, these lawyer shows on TV, you know?

and and this one isn't exactly a lawyer show. Not yet anyway, yeah. Yeah, it's, it may evolve into one, but yeah. Yeah, it's, it's really much more of a fan service comedy than anything. There's, you know, what a lot of people are saying that they're, they're not interested in it because of the fourth wall breaking. And it's the most fourth wall breaking show I've seen in a long time. Not only does, yes.

Well, I was going to say, it's funny. Mark and I were watching it and we're like, is she talking to us like the actress or the character? Sometimes it's both. She's talking to us like the creator of the show. Yeah. Right? Like the long is in this one.

Yeah. We know you love Wong. Yeah. Right. And the show, by the way, created by Jessica Gow, although that's, you know, that's kind of a loose interpretation of the word creator. Right. Obviously it's it goes to a lot of

already established comics and other things in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Jessica Gow is just, in my opinion, absolutely nailing it, came up, came up in the writer's rooms for Rick and Morty and Silicon Valley. And this, you know, I think it's just show running this thing to the moon and back. It's just, I love how it's paced. And again, that fourth wall breaking, like, it works. I think it's funny. It's, it is. And it's a, and it's a, good it's a good place you know if we're going to get that in any marvel series obviously this is the one it should be because she did that all the time in the comic books and it also makes it so that we don't have to get that in anything else right we don't need fourth wall breaking in hawkeye or fourth wall breaking in loki or which could easily do that you could easily see loki looking at the camera going well this was fun or something like that um so she hope being the location for that and this is a great place where they can say Oh, we don't want to do a whole series with Howard the Duck. Let's have Howard the Duck be a client of hers or let's have such and such character be a client of hers.

I love the fact that they're doing it like this. Yeah, and I don't think it's a surprise to say, you know, Charlie Cox's Daredevil is in this a lot. Mark Ruffalo as in a lot. He hasn't shown up yet. What are you talking about? Wait, is he in? Wait, is the show over? It's done, right?

No, no. We still have four more episodes in season. Oh, I thought it was all. sewn up this year. Wong has been in a lot, but, uh, no, I mean, yeah, sure. But the main thing I want to, the main thing I want to call out is, uh, after, after the whole thing gets set up, we, we get Jamila Jamil and Jamil and Jamila Jamil is just one of the best things to ever happen to television. Like, if you can get her on a show,

it elevates the show every freaking time. Yeah. And, uh, if they don't recognize her by name, she was in the good place. Oh, I know who that is. Okay. She's good. Oh, yeah, I like her. It's, you're going to have a, I think anybody watching this is going to have a love him or hate him reaction to Tim Roth.

Tim Roth, like, is, they're pulling from the first Incredible Hulk movie, right? Yeah. And he's, he's different. He's interesting. Wait, he's from the Eric Banna one or the? The only Incredible Hulk movie, not the, not the Hulk movie with Eric Banna. Okay. Not the Banna movie.

Yeah. The MCU Hulk movie. Okay, got it. The 08 one. Yeah. Yeah. And he's like, he's supposed to be funny and eccentric and you're going to love him or hate him. I don't know.

I don't know what, which I do yet. But anyway, it's just, it's so fan servicey. Like I don't remember the last time a series was just, you know, like its whole point is to, is to say, see, remember this? Remember that? Oh, and here's somebody new. It's just like, it's off the rails. I love it. All right.

I need to probably get around to watching it. I haven't seen any of it. It's fun. You'll have fun. Do you have any partially started MCU series or are you? I'm caught up on everything I've seen. So I don't have any that I'm in the middle of. So I could get to that one.

I do want to watch Ms. Moon Night? No, I didn't watch Moon Night yet. I will. I watched Dune again and I saw, I saw what's his name. But he's caught up with everything that he's started. He doesn't have any unfinished marvels. Yeah, I've started them all.

My suggestion is watch Moon Night and then watch Seahulk. Okay. What about Ms. Marvel? I keep hearing really happy things about that. Oh, yeah, Ms. Marvel is great. And you still haven't seen Captain Marvel. So I would say watch Captain Marvel before you watch Miss Marvel. Okay.

It's not required, but it's no strange, no shocker to hear that, that the character, Ms. Marvel, is a fan of Captain Marvel. So having that background, well... So that's the one where Carol Danvers is stuck in a room with a little kid and they can't get out, right? Yeah, that's exactly. Yes, it's called, yeah, Captain Marvel's Room. Captain Marvel's Room. All right, excellent.

I regret not saying something about the star of Shee Hulk. And it's, you know, Jennifer Walters is played by Tatiana Maslani. and she is just perfect like it is like perfect casting I can't imagine someone pulling this off better because she's got to be all of these things she's got to be professional she's got to be new to this

but she's also got to be like hyper competent at being she Hulk like right out of the gate and she just pulls it off so wonderfully you know from the comics she has a good friend co-worker named Nikki that's played by Ginger Gonzaga I don't

I couldn't place her in anything else but I think she's really awesome in this show. I love the chemistry between these two actresses, and I think you will too. She's always in the finals, every March Madness, that Gonzaga lady. Oh, boy, I'm really reaching for the jokes today. If her name is Ginger Gonzaga,

she always makes it to like 16 or the round of eight. Yeah. And wasn't supposed to. Yeah, that's true. But she gave us John Stockton, and for that I'm grateful. All right, let's move on. I'm going to go ahead and do a clip here

that will not sound like anything and you've heard, I don't think. And it's weird that I did it. It was actually recommended by a listener whose name I totally forgot. I feel bad about that. If that person wants to write in and remind me who you were, please do, because I can't find it anywhere. But here's what I listened to or watched.

Today, five tanker loads of poo will be removed for disposal. For the turnaround machine to work, the ship has to be loaded at the same time it's being emptied. this morning it needs to be stocked with enough food and drink to last the entire week this is for those cones you know this for decoration ben mohammed is in charge of the operation every week i'm talking it's a chaos but the chaos have a limit in six hours ben and his team will load 160 tons of food onto the ship okay you might have a feeling that that's like a weird

little documentary uh about what it's like to load up a cruise ship for the week and i would I was super curious about this. A listener wrote in after my trip and said, hey, you were asking all these questions about how some of that gets done, where the stuff goes, how do they keep water on the ship and have it be drinkable and all this stuff.

He says, you need to watch this. And it's like a 45 minute to an hour documentary as all on Amazon Prime called the Secret Life of the Cruise. Oh. And it's the world's largest. No, no. It sounds like it should be.

But it's this gigantic boat. I think it's the biggest. and I forgot the name of it, MCS something, but it's a Caribbean ship. And it's huge. There's a lot of secret life on Amazon. Oh, yeah. It's a whole series, I think.

I think it's one of many of a certain kind of British documentary. So this is a secretal to Walter Middy? No way. The secret like the pets. No way. No, not even close. So it's basically a, just a look at the inner workings of how cruise ship runs,

everything from the captain on down to the very basement where they have to process sewage and how they have to get, food to everybody and deal with, you know, getting, or something like 20 or 30,000 eggs per day, go through this ship of like 7,500 people, is how many fit on that particular ship? And I found it fascinating. There's all sorts of stuff I had no idea about. Also, here's the one thing I didn't know for sure that I just think is fun to share,

and you'll see it in this dock. But the length of the ship way down below, there's a corridor called the I-90. They all call it, and every ship calls it the I-90. for some reason. It's like a joke or whatever about a freeway. But basically it's a stem to stern hallway with no obstruction. So you can go from back of ship to front of ship in a straight line and it is crucial for how they get stuff moved around. So like, you know, all the food, all the people, all the stuff, everything that has to happen. The crew has to take care of something real quick or people need to get to the engine room fast or whatever it is. There's this I-90 strip

or just happening constantly all the time. And when people are asleep, it's madness down there. Just like everything and everything is being done when you have no idea it's being done. And the sort of mirage that the ship is just this beautiful, hey, we're out here in the sun. Nothing ever goes wrong kind of experience. Underneath it all, it's just scurrying ants going left and right, like the unhidden, invisible world. Found it totally fascinating. It's short.

It's easy to consume. And it's on Amazon Prime. It's really cool. Like, holy, seeing pictures of this ship. Crab, man. This thing is immense. It looks like, you know, we always say these cruise ships are a hotel on a boat. Yeah.

This one looks like you just basically went and dropped a hotel. Exactly. And they talk about the challenges of this versus a hotel. Like, one of the things I ever thought about was when it comes to, like, say, food options when you're at a hotel for a convention or something, some people eat in the hotel. But you can go anywhere. You can leave the hotel and go eat somewhere. And so the pressures on the kinds of food production and the speed at which you need to do it and the quality that needs to be maintained is a totally different animal than on a ship because that's the only place the food is is the ship. You can't get off, I mean, unless you're in port, but you can't get off the ship for four days at sea when you're only at sea and eat somewhere else.

It's all on the ship. So you may choose from the five restaurants and the buffet and the millions of things on the ship. but it all has to be made by the same machine. I didn't know things like the way the electricity is generated is literally through driving the damn thing. Oh, really? Like it's its own hydroelectric generator basically? Yeah, not all ships are identical,

but this one is doing it that way. They recycle all sewage into solids and liquids. Sounds gross, and it is, but they basically compact all the solids into these cubes and then they store them until they get to port and then they they all go off in a truck in Miami. They don't dump them in the ocean. The liquids they refine down and to be totally by the end, by the time they're done, totally drinkable water, but they don't use it for that. So like they have, they have water that's taken from the sea and desalinized for you to drink. That's where your water for drinking, the hot tubs, the pools, your showers. That's all coming from the

ocean and then the stuff they recycle from all your taking a dump and peeing they use for um you know not kind of even though it's potable it's sort of non-potable needs like laundry stuff or keeping the engines cool is part of what they use it for it was fan it was fascinating stuff to me that's really interesting okay but they managed everybody though it's crazy yeah like i have my reasons that i would never go on a cruise i'm just curious if you scott johnson like you're obviously this is a topic for you right now for reasons like did you watch this and have a thought ever watching this did you think wow maybe maybe i shouldn't have done that no not at all in fact if it if anything i'm not saying i want to go a cruise every five weeks or anything but if anything it like

it was like oh okay they don't dump the sewage in the water they don't okay throw all that food away um the food that gets that some of the food waste gets actually taken back and then converted into animal feed like they had all these like very cool ways of dealing with the um environmental impact that these have had in the past right i'm not saying it's perfect there's certainly nothing is but but they do a lot more than i thought they did and then in terms of the process like the food process stuff it's hardcore they have like real chefs walking up and down lines making sure stuff's exactly the way it's supposed to be um they sent back a whole truckload of pineapples because they had a little freezer burn before the ship even

even took off. It made me appreciate that process more. And not all cruise ships are going to be the same. I'm sure carnival's kind of a nightmare probably compared to this. This is a high-end one. But how the crew lives, they're all bunking together in these much less cool spaces than the rest of our cabins. But they, and they're from all over the world. Say what? Did you get seasick on no. Kim did though. Kim got. I do. I did too. I don't, I'm not a fan. Yeah. She, day our fifth day at sea we did a whole day at sea and and we had really rough seas that day and uh i was fine i had no issues with it kim did not that did not work out for her that day at all yeah i don't get that at all like i was doing all like taking the zinc and doing the thing yeah yep she did all that

and it still didn't help it still didn't work like she tried the what he called drammany and she tried and all that and nothing did it so anyway she just got that She can't watch me play a first-person shooter without getting nauseous. So it's, you know, that's just Kim. That happened to me with the new Tiny Tina game. I was sitting in the chair and I was playing it throughout the day. And I was like, I am I feeling sick? I was like, oh, crap.

I made myself sick playing this game. That'll happen. That'll happen. I don't know. Some people, I was actually worried when I went because I was like, how sensitive to this am I? I don't actually know because I've never been on a boat very long. And when we had the really sloshing nights and days, I was. It's like, oh, this is, I'm fine.

It didn't bother me at all, but she really had a rough one. Well, good for you. Yeah, good for me. There's probably nothing Kim enjoyed more than you saying, huh, weird. I feel fine. Oh, sorry this happened. You're like, do you want your lobster? Do you want your lobster dinner, honey?

That's what Mark did. No, I'd rather throw up all over you. I'm like, no, I'm not going to eat that. They did have this had, they had an entire, a bakery as big as my house in the ship. And they made fresh bread every day. Like, it was, I was impressed. by all of that stuff in this documentary again we're looking at one ship i can't speak for them all but it's to answer your question randy in a roundabout way it assuaged a lot of those concerns

um more than it added to them so anyway so it's propaganda this this documentary you're talking about it might have been i mean i don't know like anybody work on a ship want to ride in and tell if that thing's wrong or whatever it'd be fine with me um the captain the captain seems like they don't this this is the one thing i assumed and i think i was right about most of the trip is automated, right? Like it's almost 100% computers running those things. The captain just kind of wanders around and looks at dials and nods his head and that's

kind of it. He's not behind some wheel and he doesn't really control it until they get into ports where it's a tight fit and then he has to manually scoge that giant hotel into a little tiny spot and it's crazy. I can't even imagine. Jeez. They do and they go through some of that. So anyway, I really

liked it. You might like it too. The Secret Life of the Cruise. Maybe when I'm done watching Love Boat, Scott. Maybe then. do that um and there's no the ship's doctor did not run around trying to get every girl to make everything that moved yeah that didn't happen so by the way my theory of every episode having uh uh a couple that hate each other at the beginning then fall in love at the end yeah i the episode i watched yesterday had gary burgoff and a german shepherd oh and he got stuck in the room yep they got stuck in the room and the german shepherd is growling every time he leaves the

bathroom he's like stuck in his in his bathroom in his uh cruise room like oh well here we go here's one that's going to finally break the trend nope by the end of that that's that's gary bergoff's new pet and they're in love and they're walking off the ship together you're absolutely right that ended exactly the way you were for you feared that it wouldn't and it's a stupid stupid episode it's so well and they inject that meat full of tranquilizers but he he eats it instead of the dog give it and gary burgoff eats and his finger falls off it's horrible but i did like that one better on all the other mash appearances so far i feel like the rest of everybody else really phoned it in his he at least oh really he was like he's the first mash person i think

i've seen but they had uh uh steve allen an episode of steve allen followed immediately by an episode with phil silver and i'm like wait a minute aren't these the same guy it's the same big thick black glasses what's what's what's up with this yeah it's really weird um one last thing i want to say about nicole's recommendal i completely forgot to say the entirety of sweet tooth is narrated when they have narration bits it's all james brolin and i just want to put out in a appreciation. Is that James Burlin? I thought it was a mustache guy.

Let her come up with it, folks. I don't know his name. It's just mustache guy. You're talking about Magnum P.I. mustache guy? No, you know, like, he has a gruffie voice. He's always in a Western. Uh-huh. Oh, Sam.

What's his name? Do you remember the kid? Elliot. Elliot. Oh, Sam Elliott. Nicely done. Yes. I thought that was Sam Gertie?

I mean, they're from the same generation. But, man, I just think James Brollen rocks. I freaking love that game. James Brollen is way younger than Sam Elliott. No. James Brollen was born in like, let's see, how old is he? 1940 what does that make him yeah you're thinking of

Josh Brolin oh I am thinking of Josh is his kid I'm thinking of Thanos I'm like you're thinking of Thanos that's not him not him James Brolin is 82 Sam Elliot is we want to go higher or lower

What do you want to say? Higher Barely higher Lower 78 Sam Elliott is younger than James Brolin Wow four years That's crazy

Well I love James Who's narrowing sweet tooth again? Tom Selleck. Tom Selleck, yep. The kid from E.T. Tom Selleck, that's the one. All right. Isaac Washington. We've somehow pulled it off.

Check out their Twitter accounts, of course, the Randy Jordan and Nicole's back. That's right. And I've already got everything up on quick TMS.

dot l i links little photos and even little photos of each of us all nicely done yeah all right we got a chris brown question to finish things off here okay all right i'm ready here you go send and receive email this is from snap probably not marvel snap no um is it snap the the the band that did i've got the power oh is that snap that's snap that's snap i think that band is called snap Another music lesson for me, because I did not know that. Hello, slapy and blappy. Well, he's snappy. Yeah, I guess so.

If you want to avoid confusion about Chris Brown's name, why not just call him Chris? It's not like you guys use anyone else's last name. It's funny the links you go to to purposely inject his last name. You'll be talking about a group of people, say, Larry Moe and Curly and Chris Brown. Nothing wrong with just calling him your buddy Chris. Love the show, though. Snap. What do you think of that? What do you think of the Chris Brown thing?

I don't know. So, you know, I could answer this, but I feel like it's much better to get it from the source, right? We want to know why I call Chris Brown Chris Brown and not Chris. Let's ask Chris Brown, shall we? Yeah, let's do it. Get him on the line. Here it comes. Speaker.

Brian, it's Chris Brown. What do people call me? Chris Brown and not just Chris? Well, thanks for asking. I'll tell you. When I was little, growing up, I had four cousins named Chris. And when we got together, my aunt would call out Chris, and everybody would run. So my mom started calling me Chris Brown.

And it just kind of fits. Like, did it to dumb? When I got to high school, my friends thought that was kind of funny. And it stuck. And everyone called me Chris Brown, even my teachers. And then I thought, okay, I'll go with that. And when I introduced myself, I say, hi, I'm Chris Brown. You can call me Chris Brown.

Fast forward to 2008 or so, and some other Chris Brown, gave me a bad rap. But, hey, I'll keep it. Thanks for asking. See you. How much warning did you have on this? That's amazing that you got this. I had none. That was the first time I listened to it as well.

Basically, I saw this question in here because I was looking to see about if we had two promos in today's show. And I saw that. I'm like, you know what? I'm going to really quickly text Chris Brown and say, hey, I copied and pasted the question and said, do you want to record a voicemail answer to this? I won't answer my phone. You can... Perfect. That was perfect. You tell Chris Brown, who does, is, that's his name. He's listening. He's listening. Okay. Chris Brown, you're, that was awesome. First of all, I finally get why Brian likes you so much. That was great. Not that I, you know, not that I was concerned before. Right. Right. Not that was any question. Yeah. And snap, guy with no last name, uh, that's it. That's the deal. Yeah. You'd like, you could not have gotten a better answer to your question as to why he's Chris Brown. And I, I don't, even I don't address him ever as Chris. I don't. I don't. I don't.

say, oh, yeah, you know, well, I'm going to the beer fest with Tristan and Crazy Neighbor and Chris. I say I'm going with Crazy Neighbor, Tristan, and Chris Brown. Yeah. You just say Chris Brown. Yeah, that's just his name, Chris Brown. Don't even separate them. It's on one word, Chris Brown. Chris Brown. Chris Brown. How do you like your steak? Chris Brown. Chris Brown. All right. Nicely done. Real quick. I already mentioned play retro. That already happened. That was yesterday. I got to delete this. This is from yesterday. Oh, yeah. That's yesterday's, yes.

Normally on this fine 21st of September, I'd request September by Earth, Wind, and Fire. But I thought I'd change it up.

Thanks to you all for being such a solid source of entertainment every day and such awesome friends, signed Tanner. Well, have a happy, happy birthday. I saw photos from his birthday yesterday. Dude had such a great birthday, like all Harry Pottered up,

was released on an album, that Jonas Blue put out in 2015 called Blue. He had a bunch of different guest artists on all these songs. This was the only cover on the album, sadly, even though a lot of the names of the tracks made me think they were covers. So I'm like, ooh, is this a cover of that? Oh, is this a cover? No, no, this is the only cover. Here is fast car by Jonas Blue. Fantastic. Oh, yeah. Tanner is for you. I forgot to play it. And we'll be back tomorrow. Wendy will be here. So come on back. you hear? Thoughting problems and we've got nothing to lose.
