I will personally go to each and every one of your homes and shit in places that will leave you confused for the rest of your lives. And my brain is like,

man. I drink to quiet the voices in my head. This is the morning stream. Good morning, everyone and all, and welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream from Monday, September 26th, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson. He's Brian Ibitt. Good morning, Brian.

Hello and happy Monday to you. Yeah, baby. The last week of September. September ends the end of this week, Scott. Somebody, that's the old joke. Somebody let Billy Joel Osmond. No, what's his name? Maybe Billy Joe Armstrong.

Philly Joel Osmond. I see green people. He sees dead. Yeah, he sees green people. I don't know why I thought of his name. I see American idiots. We hope you're all well. I feel like September, I know we say this a lot, but September truly went too fast.

Like, poof, gone, bam. And I will, you know, normally I'm the one like, no, always goes the same speed, Scott. But boy, howdy, are you right, man? It just feels like it flew by. And I think it's because for us in Colorado and for you as well, it's coming off of huge heat wave into fall weather, and it seems like we just got dropped into cooler weather instantly without that kind of, that kind of gradient filter, that kind of middle ground that we usually did not ease us in.

There was no slow entry into the cooler weather, which I love, by the way, I love it, but usually there's a transition, and you've got a couple of days where you're like, maybe wear a jacket this morning, but later it'll be, you know, T-shirts again. shorts and a t-shirt now to you lung pants and a long-sleeve shirt crazy yeah what's weird none of that it's weird that half of more than half of my vacation was the part of this month i get home hit the ground running got a bunch of stuff going on then we had all the nightmarish last week that happened oh i should probably tell people the latest if they haven't heard um he ended up he ended up passing away my brother-in-law uh he they just couldn't his his organs couldn't take it

it just started falling apart too much damage from the way too much damage um funeral is this week the way we're doing it because a whole bunch of people there's other people like me where they're like I can't take additional time off but the siblings are all going so Kim or brother all of your other sisters they're all going to go at the same time rent a van together just sort of like do the whole thing together and they're oh wow okay so they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna like um road trip up to Oregon they're gonna actually fly and then rent a van while they're there so they're flying oh gotcha oh got you very clear about that you're right it was made it was made it That wasn't making sense. But anyway, so they're going to do that. Get a van, hang out up there and be there for, I think, well, from Thursday to Sunday. So spend some extra time helping her out or whatever. And beyond that, I don't know anything else. There's still like a ton of mysteries around it.

We don't know what the investigation looks like at this stage. We don't know what body cam footage looks like. Like all that stuff is just like we don't know anything about it. But the other problem is Carter's got some stuff, which is going to take her away, which means I've got three dogs and a cat I've got to take care of. And Taylor's also due like any minute. Oh, God, right. Oh, geez.

That baby's coming in the next week or two. So we're hoping Kim doesn't end up accidentally missing that because the goal is to try to get in there, get out, get home, be here for the birth. Yeah. And then so I'm gearing up for the potential of being like the guy, you know, that's around for that. So it's just a lot going on.

and yesterday I had we went to a big family thing on my side of the family who all happened to be in town from Arizona and other places Florida and a few places to for a whole other funeral that has nothing to do with any of this and it's on my brother's wife's side so yeah I saw the Twitter photo of the whole damn family yeah and that's not even all of them that's just like a subsection but ironically not ironically the truth of it is I am the tallest idiot in the family and you can see see this i'm going to put this up chat so you guys can see it real quick here but it's pretty embarrassing let's see where is it oh i lost it well it's on twitter you can go see it but if you're looking for let's look for who's the tallest in the back that's me i'm not tiptoeing i'm not standing on anything that's just freaking me everybody's shorter than me and uh anyway that was really fun we had we had uh we had nine pizzas from sam's club you ever done you ever done that you ever have a pizza from Sam's Club? I've never had a Sam's Club pizza. I've had a Costco pizza and I can't imagine it's much different from that. It's a little bit better only in one way. You know how, okay, so

most pizzas, especially cheap pizzas, a lot of crust. They make up for volume and crust. The rest of it's fine, but it's almost like, hey, eat all the bread you can because that's all we're giving you for eight bucks or whatever. Sam's Club, I will give them credit for this. They tend to make the pizza go out further on the edge with less big fatty crust. on the side so they feel like a better new york style pizza overall but they're still a little you know the cheese isn't the best i mean it's you know it's it's uh grocery not grocery store but um what do they consider those i don't know what you call those like the take home and bake kind um no no i mean those tons of stores. The Sam's Club, Costco, they are your warehouse. Your warehouse stores. Right.

They call them big box still or is that an old thing? Maybe they don't know. Maybe big box. Yeah. Big box or discount warehouse. Warehouse was the word I was trying to think of. But I was calling the place with a bunch of blue-haired ladies giving me free samples. That's what I call. Yeah. The place where you can buy cheese product and blue jeans. And it comes from the same company. Yep. You want some cheese, but cheese product. That's right. You want some chill. chili? Cheddar flavored cheese product. You want some toilet paper? We got you. Whatever you need. You're going to eat the chili and you're going to wipe your butt with the same brand. Good luck. That's right. It's all Kirkland in, Kirkland out. That's right. So we did that and took all these pizzas over there. I smelled like a giant sausage bomb when I got there.

And it was just nice to see everybody. I was actually kind of cathartic to have all this family in town. And it went fine. And my crazy Korean brother. Oh, by the way, my Korean brother, I don't know why I have to call him that. He's just, it's like Chris Brown. I call my Korean brother. Yes, exactly, he's Korean brother. Yeah, that's my new excuse when people say, why do you always have to say he's your Korean brother? I'll say, because Brian has to call Chris Brown, Chris Brown.

And they'll say, they'll say, wait, who's Brian? I don't listen to your shows. And then it'll be a whole thing. But Matt doesn't say, you must refer to me as the Korean brother. He doesn't care. He doesn't care. He's like, whatever you want to call me. But anyway, he's going to launch a YouTube channel.

He's going to do. So he's trying to decide because he does three things he really likes doing, four things. He likes to cook, and he's amazing. He likes to travel. They just went to Prague. Ooh, wow. And they like to do it in a way where they spend hardly any money. It's all like weird coupons and strange because they're so cheap.

Love it. Oh, man, he's a man after my own heart. Yeah, hardcore penny pincher, you know, my dad used to say, pinches that nickel so hard. The Indians ride in the buffalo is what he used to say. Anyway, so he does that. And then he also's got a motorcycle he's rebuilding. and then lastly

he likes to do DIY stuff around the house and he's like I think I'm going to do all that stuff for my channel I said Matt you need to pick a lane and then the other stuff could be offshoots of the lane you know so let's say it's cooking

which is what I think you should do focus on the cooking and your weird freaking personality which you just have naturally and you just cook and cook and then occasionally you go to Prague and you talk about the food you had there like exactly right tie it in

You make that one an extension. I don't know how you make the DIY and the repair, car repair. Yeah, that's harder. Part of a food channel. But, you know, hey, you can figure out a way to do it. Yeah, maybe you could just do like, hey, what's a good, my own homemade pizza rolls while I work on this motorcycle engine. Exactly. Let's rebuild a carburetor and make putteen.

Yeah. So there's lots of possibilities, and I'm actually really encouraging him to do it. but he's having this. So this goes out to anyone out there is like a, they want to try something online, but they're nervous to do it. He's having the ready aim, ready aim,

ready aim problem. Yeah. He's having a hard time firing. That's the problem, yeah. So I'm having them over on Saturday and we're going to like have a, we're going to have a little strategy.

Because I think he's just a freaking whackadoo, my brother. He's, he's, he knows English. He's fluent in Korean still. And the accent is ridiculous. and people laugh at it not for like

what a weird Chinese person kind of like racist sort of way but in kind of like a very endearing kind of thing he has going and he's really funny and goofy and like yesterday I'm taking a pee and at my sister's house a door shut on the bathroom it's down there on the main floor

he slips his phone under the door and it's playing a YouTube video fart noises like that this is the kind of adult that he is. Oh, my God. So anyways, I'm, I really want him to do this and I want it to be a big thing. And he, it's not currently working as a URL, but he's registered YouTube, or he's locked in YouTube.com slash ding pong, if you can believe it. And so, so there's some of that. But anyway, well, I'll let you guys know what we end up doing and I'll send you to his channel and all that. It's cool. Very cool. Brian, I real quick had a dream. Sure. And it had you

in it. That's why I'm bringing it up. okay all right i hope you're ready for this one i'm i'm ready i might have looked ahead i might have i might have already read this but uh it's a little shocking i'm going to let it wash over me like i'm hearing it for the first time it's a little shocking so in this dream skeletor was there okay sure nemesis to he man you know you know the guy that one that one okay yeah skeleton for a head very recent photo of tom brady no no no no but gosh dude somebody give Tom Brady a pizza, for example. He looks really too thin.

He does. Very gaunt, yeah. Yeah, not for his, it's not his usual build. Anyway, uh, Skeletor is there. And Skeletor, of course, is skeleton head, but the rest of him is muscle man, which makes no sense, right? Mm-hmm. And he's there and his usual thing.

He's got his staff and everything. And Brian is there, strapped to a gurney. Okay. I'm there in a chair being forced to watch this. And one by one, and you, by the way, are not having any. reaction you're just you're just sort of plain face through the whole thing he's he's biting off he's biting off each one of your toes starting with the left foot pinky and then moving the easiest place to start it would be right smaller bites and all that yeah exactly moving toward the

big toe and then another big toe and then back down to the the pinky so that that that progression and you're slowly having your toes bitten off by skeletor and it's all very gory there's blood there's bones there's all this there's and he's just going ah this foot is great. I'm so glad I'm eating his toes. This kind of talk. And he's eating it. He's not biting it and then spitting out the toes. No, no. He's chewing and swallowing your toes. Okay. All right. And you're just sitting there grooving on it. You're just chilling like nothing. His plain face? Well, wait, wait, wait. Am I grooving on it or my plain face? That's a totally different journey. No, yeah, that's a good point. It would be like if someone had

injected your legs with some sort of anesthetic and now you're just, you can't fill it. But you're not, but you're also not upset by what you're viewing. You're just sort of like looking staring and you look at me uh speaking of raleo it's like when hannibal lector is feeding him his own brain he's just kind of like oh okay i'll eat this i'm glad you brought that up that's exactly what it was like except he wasn't except you weren't talking you were just sort of like do do do and i look and you'd look at me once in a while he just kind of look at me and kind of like nod your head like hey what's up hey i still striped to that chair yeah he'd look back over a skeletor and he'd be chewing on your middle middle toe left foot or whatever and that was the

dream and it went on until all your toes were gone. I don't know what's going on, dude. I don't know what this dream is about. In one dream, I'm headless on an office chair. Another one, Skeletor is eating my feet? What is this? I don't know. Why am I in your saw dreams?

I don't know. And why am I in these dreams forced to see the this? Why do I have to see it? You know what I mean? Like, why am I? I don't mean just see the dream. I mean, why in the dream am I so, like, audience to it? I don't get that part.

Yeah. Well, I mean, because you have to be there to experience the dream. You know, you need to be aware of it. Sure. Like, yeah, I had a dream that this happened to you, but I wasn't there. So I don't know. I just heard about it. Yeah, you just heard about it through channels. I mean, I just felt by the time this thing was done, I just, I kind of woke up going, well, that's it. I'm not, I'm not sleeping now. I'm done. I may as well just get up. What are we even doing? This isn't, it's not like I can go back and have, like I was actually physically. mentally worried that if I went back to sleep, I would reenter the dream where I left it because that happens sometimes. It was like, yeah, right, where you just pick up where you left off. Yeah, I don't like that. I find that if I have a, if I have a crap dream or a stress dream or anything like that, all I have to do is just roll over onto my other side. I'm a side sleeper.

And I just flip over on my other side. And it's almost like a control delete. And it's like, oh, okay, you just reset. You turned off the switch, turned it back on and undocked it. And now it's a whole new, a whole new dream. I want to be like you, because I can't do that. It's really, I can do the side thing. That's how I sleep too. I sleep on the side. If I ever end up on my back, I'm snoring. I can't do that. It sounds like a wild animal. Yeah, it's horrible. That's what, uh, that's still what happens to me, even with the CPAP. If I'm on my back, my nose closes up, my mouth opens and I'm like, yeah. So it's like, nope, CPAP only works if I'm on my side. Yeah, Tally, I know you. The boy, does it work? Like, I know Talley, she's, she's, she's screaming in

the tat she that she explained this before and she has but you haven't explained why i keep having the recurring dreams about brian getting chewed up yeah and now what i'd really like to know is how to reset it the way brian just did like his little flip the switch by turning over i'll do i would love to do that can i teach that can i learn that i'm sure i mean do you have to mentally go click i'm done with that dream moving over rolling over reset like how do you mentally do it do you actually throw a switch do you feel like i think it's that my mind that i've told my mind that doing that will reset you know it's it's like uh oh what's a good example of that mind over matter b s right like it's you know you've trained your body that when

you if you pinch your pinky you'll remember this this other thing like you've you've just basically created a connection between two different things me rolling over and wiping my mind of the dream i just had to start a new one um that that that have Avalovian conditioning. Pavlov, yeah, exactly. That's it. All right. Well, you're Pavlov's dog, and you figured it out.

I have not. That's right. And then I salivate all over the pillow. That's right. I hump things. That's what I do. I hump things. Hump objects around the house.

Sure, sure. Well, of course. Yeah, that's good. My wife's getting really sick of it. Anyway. I have to keep replacing the pillows. So I'm going to try tonight not to have a dream like that. And hopefully you will not be tortured in another.

Yes, thank you. Please. I'm going to work on that. Can I, I don't know, maybe win the lottery? Can I drive a Tesla in your dream? I've been wanting to test drive a Tesla and see what I think of it. Can I do that in your dream, Scott? You know what? I'll give it a shot. Let me know what I think about it. Let me see if I can Pavlov that tonight. I'll get that going. Please do. Yes, I appreciate that. I'll see what I can do. Real quick here, we got a Canadian one of these. Send and receive email. This is from Jeff Sire, our old friend Bronco up in Crafton, Grafton, rather, Ontario. And he wanted to talk. talk to us. I'm going to read his email. Okay. Bored with Funerals is his subject title. So Scott and Brian, before you start

making assumptions, I just want to say I really didn't really care about the queen one way or the other. But there is not really anything there for you guys. Imagine how it must be for anyone who isn't American watching the 30 hours of pregame of Americana before the Super Bowl. That's a good point.

Well, it depends. I mean, that stuff for the Super Bowl sometimes depends on the network that's doing it, but I don't like it either. That boars the tar out of me too. I don't like it. I don't care. I don't need to see everybody showing up to, you know, to the event or hear 18 different versions of are you ready for some football or any of that? With you with you 100%. No. Yeah. You're talking to the wrong Americans. We like the, we like Super Bowl, but we don't like all that fluff before. I hate it. Also, for the record, I don't like all the fluff in between events when I watch any Olympics. I don't like fluff. How about that? I don't care about, you know, I'll watch the award shows.

I really don't give a crap about the red carpet and that sort of thing unless, you know, oh, if there's a highlight of somebody doing something goofy and weird, I'll see that and, you know, a few days after. But sure. Yeah, if somebody biffs it and like heavier Bardem falls and accidentally motorboats somebody, I'd laugh at that, but that's it. Here's what he says. He says, Brett Farve is reading a line from a Declaration of Independence. Wow. Wow. Who knew that guy could read? Well, that's a good question. Have you read his text lately? Good Lord. That guy. He's in trouble right now. Had you heard about that? What he did? The welfare scandal, right? Yeah, what a douche. I know. Now he's off of a podcast. Oh. That's too bad. First, it's texting pictures of your tiny wean with your giant Super Bowl ring. It's like, oh, well, I guess no one will ever figured out this was me. Now it's welfare scandal. Now it's that. And before that, when my wife was briefly a sophomore while he was a senior in high school,

he was a real big douche in high school. I guess what I'm trying to say is, douchey behavior doesn't leave when you become massively rich. Dushy behavior tends to follow you wherever you go. And now he is a capital D douche. Yeah, it's real shame. Capital D douche. He says, if you were born and raised in Commonwealth country up there or anywhere that the queen has a commonwealth she has been there our whole lives i was in the queen's uh own rifles of canada our provincial legislature in toronto is a queen's park the bagpipe lament is owed to

fallen piper i hear it every remembrance day where we also until this year would sing god save the queen no matter uh what anyone even claire thought i'd love that he called claire out is claire here specifically clear even claire she's not here today dang it i want her to hear this She will. She'll hear this probably when it's a podcast. That's a shame. I thought of her and you can't deny the dread or the thread that has been woven through the fabric of our lives and the histories of our countries. But you guys don't have that. So you imagine one of your, yay, where Americans fess appears to those who aren't American.

No, we get it. We know. We know. We know the funeral is not for us. Exactly. We get it. Yeah, I'm never, never once in any of this process have I been like, I don't get it. Get it. No, I get it. I get it. Why is the Queen so popular? I don't get it. He says, I just happened to be in London visiting my sister. The trip ended a lot different than we had planned because of the funeral. Oh, I didn't know he was over there. That's cool. It's still been a great trip. We didn't line up for the public viewing or anything, but the motorcycle or motorcade did pass about one mile from my sister's place. So, or a kilometer, sorry. So isn't it miles over there, though? Look, you can't take your Canadian space points over there.

That's right. Yeah, pick, wait, where is it? What's it going to be? Pick a lane. Yeah. Pick a bit. Are you going to go an extra mile? Or would you walk 500 miles or would you walk 600 point something kilometers?

Anyway. Right. I don't know what the conversion is. He says, let's see. So we did walk and see them up on the way. The Windsor, he included a couple of pictures. So I didn't put those out here. But basically it's just a shot of a car with a covered thing where I guess her, her coffin was.

Anyway, no, Jeff, we totally get it, dude. You know, we have our things. Everyone's got their things. That's culture for you. You know, did I care when, or did it really, you know, freak me out? I'm trying to think of a good one. Who died somewhere and it was like a giant deal there. Oh, yeah, JFK.

You know what? Did you all lose your minds when JFK died or when MLK died? Something that was, you know, that we were alive for. I mean, well, that's true. Okay. Well, see, 9-11 doesn't count because everyone, everyone did kind of freak out. Of course. Of course. The whole world was affected by that. But like,

this is the problem with Americans. Rainbow Bright says Betty White. Yeah, but Betty White was an international treasure. She was all over the place. Princess Diana. That's a good one. Although that's British. That's UK. Yeah, that's UK.

We did. We did react to that one pretty hard, though. We did. She was the rebel, man. She was like, you know why? Because in the royal structure, she was the, you got, the royal, us yeah she the royal family was old britain old colonial britain and she was rebellious america that's why we glombed on her she was uh lalapalooza she was you know she was all that stuff she was punk rock hell yeah gilbert godfrey says the chat yep that's it by o cow that's the one

ronald robin williams yeah tell you about other people who've died that uh well norm macdonald's canadian so he's a bad example oh yeah yeah we love him but Canada probably mourned him as much as we did. I ended up subscribing to like 15 different Norm MacDonald clip channels on TikTok and my feed is almost entirely Norm MacDonald jokes, which is fine. The gift

that keeps on giving, right? It never stops. He apparently, you know, especially when he did his little YouTube show he did for a few years. Some gold in there, man. Such good stuff. No kidding. I think you sent me a link from one of those and it was great. So funny. Anyway, thank you, Jeff, for your email. We appreciate it.

And I guess God didn't save the queen this time. I don't know. Well, save the king now. Now you got your weird king with a huge ears and the pen problems. He'll be fine. You got it. God save the king.

Fascist regime. Yeah. That's right. Get out your sex and your pistols. Let's go. That's right. Let's go. Brian, we have for the world to hear one of these.

Be courteous and obey traffic regulations. It's a lift story. What happened? Lift story. So did some lifting. of course, end of last week and over the weekend, and one of my pickups was, you know, I won't go into this, but kind of irritated, I do this thing when I'm ready to call it quits for a night, and I use this thing called destination mode.

And what basically says is I plop a little pushpin on the map and say, only give me rides that take me towards my home. And that way, I can start making my way to the house. I might get a ride or two on the way, but it doesn't send me back the other direction. sure except for Thursday night when it completely sent me in the opposite direction so it works until it doesn't is what you're saying

okay works until it doesn't is the only time it's never worked I'm thinking that something must have reset or like you know a street counter reset and reset all my destinations or something I don't know what any but but I was ready to go home Tristan and Kay were coming over to show us their new

tattoos and and so I wanted to want to be home We're all going to have dinner together, but no. So I'm way on the other side of town, and I get sent even further up to the Brighton Detention Center to pick up somebody who's just been released. And his mom who showed up there and didn't speak for the whole ride, except to the very end, she started talking on the phone all in Spanish. But the whole rest of the time, dude who was in the detention center. center who some some mysterious story that he didn't go into that happened in

Vegas the same weekend I was there with the women who walk up and down the strip dressed as showgirls oh yeah apparently they pissed him off really bad with their demands for money after taking a picture and is I'm not going to go into the story is like no that's the story I want to hear that's you end up in detention what did you do oh my God yeah so two weeks Anyway, but the whole time, it's, you know, he's, he's just gone through two weeks of, of therapy, and it's obviously really helped him, but it's also, like, given him, like, a very positive outlook on life that he wants to spill out to everybody, everybody around him about, you know, there's the seven deadly sins, you got to stay away from those, and I had wrath. I had a lot of wrath and some envy and some of this, and it's like, yeah, yeah, totally get it. You got to kind of stay away from that. And then he goes into the Bible and, well, you know, the problem with the world today is that we have knowledge. You know, it comes from the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge.

And the problem is that now we have knowledge. I'm like, well, I don't think it's quite that, you know, like, I think. Oh, yeah, no, that's a big one. They love using that as a way of it. I know. It's like, no, I think that's, you know. I didn't, I didn't, like, argue. I was just like, oh, get me through this ride.

And, of course, these are the rides that are like 35, 40 minutes long. And it's just like, oh, my God, how can I get through this? I'm like, again, you know, pressing the gas pedal harder and harder with every comment that comes out of his mouth. Sure. So I, you know, I said, well, cool. There's no conversation for a while. Cool. It's like, all right, cool.

I'm going to go ahead and turn up the music a little bit. Yeah. And what I do for lift rides is I pick a kind of a good mainstream song that I like, but that I think isn't like, you know, Screamo Metal or Swedish industrial rock or something like that. Right. And I happen to pick Crowded House, Don't Dream It's Over, and just say, great, make Apple Music, make a station out of this. And so it's always stuff like Crowded House, Finn brothers, Neil Finn,

associated bands around that, and then just kind of other things that kind of go along with that. music. Sure. And I turn up the music and it just happens to be on a Finn Brothers song called Edible Flowers. Just kind of a, I don't want to call it a throwaway track, but it's from one of their, one of their more recent releases. Sure. And I turn it up and didn't even really hear more than two or three seconds of it before he goes, oh, what a good song. Oh my God, I love this song. I'm like, oh, really? Yeah, what's it called? I said it's called Edible Flowers by Finn Brothers. and I have the display in my car just shows it as what's currently playing. And it's like, Finn Brothers, Edible Flowers.

I like this song. Oh, I'm going to play it right now. And he proceeds to pull out his phone, pull up Spotify, and play on his phone the same song that I'm currently playing in my car at the same volume. All right. So, wait. So I also want to point out, he gains some knowledge. all right some knowledge about who the band was and why it's good and then he went and turned it on and then showing apparent lack of social knowledge played it on his phone while I was playing in the car

that's fantastic yeah exactly that's great so I'm like yeah that's the song and of course his song starts at the beginning mine is all you know halfway through so it is just a freaking cacophony and then his mom pulls out her phone and is yelling you know in Spanish and whoever she's deciding to talk to him like oh my god get me out of this car as quickly as possible. Here, here are the keys. Drive yourself to where you need to be. I'll take a lift to my car and get it when you're done.

No kidding, dude. I would have been so annoyed. I'm annoyed right now at nothing. I wasn't there, but I'm annoyed by this story. Just like, what the heck? Who does this? Am I getting punked right now? Like, who does this?

Really weird, dude. Also, anyone who says this whole, it's our knowledge that's the problem. Yeah, yeah. They can't within like five seconds. They're going to have other knowledge happen and they're not going to acknowledge it. Oh, yes, exactly. Like, you know, our lives are constant absorbing of things around us.

And each of those things is a piece of knowledge. And so it's, you know, it's growth. It's, uh, yeah. And don't come at us with emails. It's not black and white, like, yeah. Don't come at us with emails going, well, what he means is worldly knowledge versus spiritual knowledge. Don't even start at me with that, please.

My inbox doesn't need it, okay? You can take that right. Don't do it. Well, anyways, so you finally dumped him off. That's good. And he gave him a new song. Look at that. And I gave him a new song.

And you know what? Power to him. It's a song that if you had played for me, I wouldn't even have been able to tell you the title because it was just kind of a B track from that album, which had a lot of good songs, but that wasn't one of the standout tracks. Yeah. But hey, you know what? Maybe I've turned on a new fan to the Finn Brothers.

and uh there you go see we get okay guess what else is in the world the bible guess what that is it's worldly knowledge knock it off knock it off everybody oh you know the bible do you oh you do you mean that piece of you know it before you knew about it no you gain that that paper and leather thing that you got in your house that has knowledge in it you dumbass all right no patience well tina i also gained a little bit of knowledge um we had our mystery day for september and i took tina This was me picking the date for us. I took Tina to a chocolate shop in Boulder called Peace, Love, and Chocolate. That sounds great.

Look at that. They make cakes and candies and things like that, and they do classes up there. And we learned how to make a flowerless chocolate tort and a chocolate souffle. Do you want to see pictures? Should I put pictures up? Please, you can post the picture. they're awesome look at these you guys so this is first i'll start let's do a little teaser there's the chocolate mm-hmm right that looks awesome i want that now can't eat it but would and then you

got yeah look at that sugarless but flowerless sadly uh look at this all-american couple in there look at them working their little aprons i feel like guy fierre's just around the corner he's about to yell that something was gangster after he tastes it look at that that's amazing gordon ramses you know we actually even talked to our teacher our teacher our teacher who was awesome really mellow guy geez louise boulder mellow so like even even more mellow than your average mellow um he uh he talked about yeah you know i thought about just doing a surprise class where i just act like gordon ramsie the whole time and yell at people for for you know not mixing their not not getting the stiff peaks from their egg whites before they mix in their chocolate

stiff peaks i love that term stiff peaks yeah it's a great word you know a lot of people think it's you know you put your mixer in there at high speed with the egg whites, you beat them until when you lift up the mixer and you see stiff peaks in the bowl itself. What you're supposed to do is, obviously you turn off your mixer, you pull it out, but then you flip the mixer upside down,

and it's the stuff on the blades that should be staying upright and not folding over. Oh, to make stiff peaks. That's, again, some knowledge I didn't have, but prior to this. Yeah, there we go. You, I've dropped some knowledge, a knowledge bomb on you, boom.

Fat knowledge. Hey, I'm looking at a close-up of this chocolate thing you made. It looks like ketchup and mustard. What are we looking at here? What is that? Oh, oh, the ones that we're holding. So we learned also how to make a two sauces, a raspberry coolie and then an egg white, I'm sorry, an egg yolk, they're two different sauces.

And you put them on both the flourless tort or put them on the sourdum. or put them on the suflay. Yeah, almost like a custard, but it's a sauce. That sounds so good. So freaking good, Scott. Oh, my God. Yeah, you don't have to convince me. These pictures have sold it.

That looks awesome. Almost a lemon curd, sandwriter, but it wasn't as lemony as. Like, there was lemon, you know, I take that back. There wasn't a lemon in the yellow one, the egg white or the egg yolk sauce. It was sugar and egg yolk and vanilla. and a liqueur, and I'm sure I remember what the lique was. Oh, it's the cherry one. It's the Kirsch.

Oh. And then the raspberry coolly did have lemon in it just to cut the tartness of the raspberry with a little bit of sour from the lemon, which was great. I mean, just so good. So now, in Hollywood, Polywood, Paul Hollywood was there. I like that. That should be his name, Pollywood. Polywood.

If Paul Hollywood was there, what do you think you'd have gotten there? A handshake? I might have gotten a handshake. I doubt it. I would have gotten a, you know, your chocolate is very flavorful. It's, you know, it could have been mixed a little bit more. Seeing some streaks in the top of the Siflay. Seeing some streaks.

Yeah. That is totally something he would say. And if he gave you a handshake, I don't want to talk about what he would try to give to your dear wife. Because he's known for, you know. We all know what, yeah, exactly. He did not have a soggy bottom on either of. my, either of my creations. Oh, nice. Well done.

I like the, I like the, uh, masking tape, uh, name tags. I think that's pretty hot. Yeah, that's so that when they put them in the oven, they know exactly whose souffle reigns supreme. Yep. Supreme suflay. Let's just say. Let's just say it was a dude wearing a goofy Hawaiian shirt. Uh-huh. Let's just say that. Let's say it. I say it too now. All right. Uh, well, that's awesome. Let's play a game. Normally doneaways here. He has work stuff. So he's not here today, but we're going to play anyway. And this involves one of you

at home calling in. So you're going to want to dial this number, 801-471-0-4-6-2, if you'd like to participate. This is an over-under-style thing. What do we call this? High-Low. We call it over in our high-low, yeah. Yeah, we're going to play a little high-low on the show. And if you are the lucky person I pick, well, then you'll be in here. Again, that number 801-471-0-4-6-2. Here's our theme. Okay, here we go. I'm going to answer a call. Let's see who this is.

Okay, all right. Got to grab it here. Hi, good morning. Who's this? For the last time, Johnson, REM rebound. It's when you go to sleep in the morning and then the dreams happen again. That's called REM rebound?

Why not REM rebound? Why not? Because then it would be the album that came between stand and document. Which one had orange crush in it? Because that's the one I don't want to dream of that again. All right. Well, I'm not going to forget it this time, Talley. It's now burned in. I'm good. I promise. You believe me? Probably not. Yeah, I don't think he did. Welcome. You're going to be today's contestant because you called in, and we're happy to have you, as always. Yay. Brian, how does Hilo work and how are we going to do this? Sure, I'll tell you. So, welcome to a game of TMS High-Low, because I haven't come up with a name to piss off that one listener yet. I'm going to ask Scott a number-based question. He's going to give us an answer.

then tally i'm going to turn to you and ask you if the actual answer is higher or lower we're going to do five of these and if you're correct for at least three times out of those five questions you're going to win a prize package that includes duke nukem forever duke newcomb forever the doctor who wound me failed people fooled people there and duke newcomb forever haul to the icons hail to the icons i fooled myself with that one what shocks me what shocks me is that there were two full d lc DLCs for the game, Duke Nookin' forever. Right. I had no idea those two exist.

Yeah, that's amazing. So maybe those made the overall game better. That's what we need to see is the scores for the doctor who clone me and hail to the icons. That's right. The glasses have full, folks. We got the DLC. So you could be the

fancy winner of that. I can't wait to see if you win. Well, to win, you got to answer the call. You've got to tell us the over-under or the high low and to do that we need to actually ask out the questions let's start with number one scott all right since their 1917 debut how many different types of girl scout cookies have been sold so not how many boxes have been sold but how many different types of girl scout cookies and this

could include both expired or ones they don't do anymore plus current ones absolutely includes ones they don't do anymore. Okay. Yeah. Uh, I'm going to say 30. Okay. 30 is incorrect.

Talley is the actual answer higher or lower than 30? Uh, how long they've been selling? Since 1917. A long time. 17. Yeah. I was right before, wait, was that the year? No, the year before the, the Spanish flu wiped out everybody.

Right. You use it in a sentence? Yeah, the year was 1917. Here's the sentence. Brian asked Talley if the actual answer was higher or lower than 30. Yeah, that's a sentence. That was good. You know what?

I need to be higher too, so let's go higher. All right. Always go higher. I love it. The actual answer is 56, 56 different. varieties of Girl Scout cookies. Thin mince, which sell 50 million boxes per year, 50 million boxes per year, account for 25% of all the Girl Scout cookies.

Of just thin mints, that's insane. Just thin mints, 50 million boxes a year. That feels like a... That's some kind of racket, man. That's insane. That's a cookie racket. Yeah. All right, well, good news is that means Talley has a point.

Yep. Let's move on to question two. Scott, not including Alaska. Which you just visited. I did. What percent of the U.S. is farmland? So, will you take the other 49 states? What percentage of the U.S. is farmland?

Not including Alaska. I'm going to go 38%. Okay. 38% is incorrect. Talley is the actual answer higher or lower than 38%. Yeah, I think it's higher. The actual answer is 47.2.

It is higher, but not a whole lot higher. Nebraska, for example, is 93% farmland, but Maine, only 7% of Maine is farmland. That's why they always give the excuse that we'll never have a high-speed rail across this country because there's too much dead space in between everything.

It wouldn't be cost-effective. Which I don't know if I believe that or not, but that's what they always say. Can't we go above the farms? I mean, can't we go under them? under why not both yeah all right well you need is one more tally you've won the prize heck yeah uh let's get to this one scott how many cups of coffee does the average duncan donuts store sell per day so not the whole nation of duncan donuts which is just called duncan

um but just one store how many cups of coffee do they sell in one day okay on average per store I'm going to give it 2,000 cups per day. Okay, 2,000 cups. Talley, is the actual answer higher or lower than 2,000? So, just doing the math in my head, like, at 2,000 on an average 8-hour working day, that's actually a shit ton of time. So I'm going to go lower. Lower. All right.

The actual answer is, 430. 38 cups of coffee a day, much lower. She got it right. What am I saying? Yeah, she was correct. I was wrong. Tell you're our winner. The first Dunkin' Donuts opened in Massachusetts in 1948, and they're still opened, and people still use it for directions to get around Massachusetts.

So I'm going to tell you real quick, the reason I said 2000 was I was doing some math the other day, this brand new condos set up of condos. And then a library across the street and some other cool stuff just open near us. And we were thinking those bottom floors of these condos were empty because they're going to be retail space of some sort. So we were looking at what the price would be to rent or lease that space per month and figured out that if you were open to a coffee shop and all you sold was coffee, the rent was high enough that you would have to sell at least 2,000 cups per day. I think it was per day. if you were open every day but Sunday. Sure.

To make ends meet. Why wouldn't you be open on Sundays? People love coffee on Sundays. I agree. But now it makes me think that it wouldn't be like no one's going to build a coffee shop there because I don't think they can make it at those prices. I don't know. We have to sell something other than coffee.

I guess so. They'll have to do pastries and all that crap. I mean, Scott, if you have a full eight-hour employee making one coffee, one minute, working with no breaks, that's 480 coffee. Yeah, but if you had Oh, that's a lot more than 2000 Yeah A lot less than 2000

Or a lot less than 2000 Yeah, so they're not going to make it as my point There's no way they can pay rent Or maybe they could do Oh, I see Yeah I need five employees all making one cup of coffee per minute For eight hours

I love that idea Everybody on one cup at a time That's amazing All right, well Talley as you can tell Kids the winner The kid's the winner Why is that in there? Congratulations.

You're a winner. I didn't mean to play that, but... Listen, I've already prepped two other questions. Let's go and see how you do with these other two. Oh, yeah, why not? Let's do it. Yeah. All right, you've been to San Francisco, or have you been to San Francisco, Scott?

Oh, I have, yeah. A bunch of times. Okay. Okay. How many of San Francisco's iconic cable cars run on a normal day? So they've got the tracks all around the city. You can get from the Castro. district to the, the, uh, presidio.

To the wharf. Go to the wharf. Um, I am not a merry man. Uh, that's a pretty good Michael Dorn, by the way. Um, I'm going to go with, uh, uh, uh, oh, geez, I've ridden on them even. Yeah. I've, it's not that big of a city. I've seen the rice errone commercial, too.

I really don't know the answer to this. I'll say 40. 40 of them. 40, okay. All right, 40. That's incorrect. Talley is the actual answer higher or lower than 40? There are four members of the band The Fray, and they have a song called Cable Car.

They do? Yes. So let's go lower. Oh, I like your logic. Like, I see, I see how you sussed that out. I like that. Yeah. Um, it is lower.

It's 27, not that much lower, but, uh, only 27, like 27 cars running constantly. Yeah, you can wait at a line and get a cable car in about 30 minutes. Um, and there are like five different cable car lines or six or something, I think. Yeah. Um, they go nine miles an hour and, uh, they serve about 10 million riders per year. Yeah. And it's way better than walking because every, on average, every two or three, three inches, there's human poo to step in.

So get on the car. Do the cable car. Is that Francisco there is? Oh, it's so bad right now, dude. That place is a mess. I've got, never go to Paris when the three cleaners were on strike. Oh, I'll bet. I'll bet it is because, you know, the French and everything, tell Patrick I told them to.

But the, uh, yeah, Pat, obviously it's the, some of the touristy areas in San Francisco are cleaned up pretty good, but there's like, they got a problem right now. It's bad. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to go. All right. Last question.

And don't think of bleeding gums Murphy because he never did this. On average, how many seconds does it take to sing the star-spangled banner at the Super Bowl? So in all the 52 years that we've had the Super Bowl, and I know it wasn't called the Super Bowl for the first two, how long, on average, does it take for somebody to sing the Star-Spangled banner? How long? Oh, gosh. Well, it's at least 60, I think, because they always drag out that last bit. Yeah. And make it ridiculous.

Let it go really high. And then people are clapping. It's at least pause. That's the worst. Yes, exactly. I'm going to go two minutes. Two minutes, so 120 seconds. Yeah, 120 seconds.

Uh, that's incorrect, Talley? Do you want to guess higher or lower? Is it, uh, higher or lower than two, uh, 120 seconds? I'm actually going to agree with chat. 69 seconds is less than 120, so let's go lower. 69, nice. 69, nice. Uh, no, Scott, you were actually only two seconds off,

118 seconds on average. Just two seconds shy of two minutes. No? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm sure you do it. That is correct. Here, I'll give you two of them just to make.

up for it. Yeah, there you go. Double. But, yeah, Alicia Keys had the longest at 155 seconds, and Billy Joel's was only 90 seconds. Really? He just ripped through it. He just ripped through it. Like, uh, yeah. I'm moving out. Duraner, d'ur, d'ur, exactly. Amazing. It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, and the bombs and the red glare and the home of the free and the brave.

I love that he just implies one of his own songs to it. That'd be amazing. So Billy Joel's version is about a New York minute, then. Yeah, there you go. And a new goal. Nicely done. Well, you've won. So that means Brian's sending you this code. Brian, do you have Talley's email?

Do we need to get it? I'm sure I've got it. Yeah, you probably have it. She sent me a ton of stuff over the years. Yeah. Requesting, needing this and asking for that and wanting. I'm just kidding. Yeah.

Look, she's a Ph.D. There's a lot going on up there in that head of hers. That's right. So get that going. And you've won. I truly, I can't think of anyone I'd rather have win this prize today than you tally. That's not true.

Any of you could win, it'd be fine. All right, that's it. Thanks for calling in and hanging out with us. Hey, Brian, you know what that means at 10.03 a.m. It's time for us to take a break. Before we do, though, we have somebody who sponsored today's song break. Could you tell me who it is? Who is it?

Again, that's Lichen Solomon's Odyssey Chapter 2 available on to Kickstarter. Or, as Brian said, go straight to likeandbook.com. Lichenbook. All right, Brian, let's dive into that song I warned people about.

What are we doing today? Oh, I hope you gave them ample warning because, you know. Oh, boy. Oops, and I picked the wrong one. Hold on. I mean, I didn't pick the wrong one. I put the wrong one in my notes. Nope.

What's that? One second. Okay. All right, here we go. Okay. Brand new album that just came out. This album came out today. Technically, actually, it came out Friday, September 23rd, but my email says today.

A brand new album from an artist by the name of Arkellis. Not to be confused with R. Kelly. Arkellis is spelled A.R.K.E. I'm sorry, Arkell's. A. R.K.E. L.L.S. Brand new album is called Blink Twice. And they're celebrating the new release with a show at London's Electric Brickston. They're currently on the Blink Once Twice tour in UK, Germany, and Canada. But you can hear this song right here from the brand new album. Oh, a lot of great guest stars, by the way, on this one.

Tegan and Sarah. Who else? Lights, Kurt a pirate and Ali and AJ, Wesley Schultz from the Luminaires. Oh, I love the Luminaires. That's awesome. All right.

Yeah. And this one, which features the Cold War Kids, here's Arkell's and the song, Past Life. Feeling like I'm falling I've been getting up tired staring at the ceiling Trying to get it just right You know what's on my mind

I can't look you in the eye I'm getting on the freeway Underneath the night sky I'm a little wildflower Singing one headline Looking for a sign Superstition make me blind I'm sick and running

From a past life I don't care about the next one Am I running from the moment Or the city where I come from Right now I'm feeling like a stranger Don't recognize the voice inside my head Because I've been running from a past life I want to leave I want to leave

I want to live I want to live I want to live this life instead Today I saw my reflection in a broken window Gave me a flashback crying in my pillow It's not my first time On this rodeo ride Because I never got to be on I was falling on soul

I feel like Bob Dylan sun Always in the shadows I gotta find my home Way to ride a soul I'm sick of running from a past life I don't care about the next one Am I running from the moment Or the city where I come from

Right now I'm feeling like a stranger Don't recognize the voice inside my head Because I'm running from a past life I want to live I want to live I want to live I want to live this life instead Can we take back all these last back all these lies there up to wasted years and wasted time let's make it right here in this life

after all we've been through there's nothing left to lose I'm sick of running from a past eye I don't care about the next I don't care about the next time and I'm running from the moment all the city where I come on all the city will I come I'm feeling like a stranger To recognize the voice inside my head It's running from the past life I want to live, I want to live I want to live this life to stay

I want to live I want to live I want to live this like to stay I want to live I want to live I want to live this life I stay I'm sicker running from a past night I'm sicker running from a past night I don't want a friggin pharmaceutical boner

I want a boner made from love I think we're moving along a little too fast As the man around here you can quote me on this is the morning string. Now, Scott Fletcher, for all of his strengths, one of them, he doesn't talk about much, is his singing voice. He has a great singing voice.

Yeah, we don't hear it enough on here. Christine, go make him croon to you tonight. Brian, tell me again who that band was and what that song was. Yeah, the band is Arkell's, and the new album is called Blink Twice. It's great. The whole album is awesome, and I had a hard time picking which song I was going to play

for you today. I settled on, the one you just heard, past life, which is Arkell's featuring Cold War Kids, again, from the brand new album, Blink Twice. Very, very nice. Nice rhyming there. Yeah, pretty good, right? Let's get Stephen in here. Let's have him show us what for. Stephen Schleiker. Hey, you guys, look who it is. It's Steven Schleiker, the very man who comes here on Mondays and talks about cool pop culture stuff comics movies TV stuff what a have you we didn't have him last week as he was busy had some stuff but he's back and it's good to have you here Stephen how are you

oh I'm good Scott hello Brian oh man hello Stephen I don't know there's something comforting about Steven's segment I can't really put my finger on it but it's always like this moment of yeah like a warm blanket like a warm weighted blanket that smells a jazz yes thanks for thanks for mentioning my

my overweightness there Scott oh I didn't mean it so I didn't mean it stuff, Scott. I didn't mean it. I have a 25-pound weighted blanket and I freaking love it, but that's all we do. We do too. It's great. It's amazing. Let's talk some stuff here. Things, you know, going on at major spoilers are never ending, but in particular, we're going to talk about the Scanners television series. Now, I, for one, I'm a big fan of any time, oh, I forgot his name, the director.

Cronenberg makes anything. I really want to see his new one that just came out with the, it's some body horror thing called, I forgot the name. Is it just called Bodies? no what is it isn't it an anthology it's an anthology isn't it oh is it i don't know it's got i don't know vigo mortensen and uh which i guess they haven't hooked up since uh last time they worked together crimes of the future crimes of the past oh crimes of the future that's it that's it oh now the chat's saying it yeah crimes of the future i really want to see that because something about kronenberg movies can't put my finger on it just the guy's weirdo and i like weird and i'm all in on weird so uh we'll watch that but he made this movie scanners which we

on film sack as well. And it's famous for lots of reasons. We did. You guys watch that. Oh, yeah. You did and we loved it. Oh, geez. When? Yeah. It's been a while. It's been a couple years. Yeah, for sure. Something like that. But, you know, who's, uh, can they give his name? No names are coming to me today. Michael Iron Sides. Michael Ironsides. Blowing people's heads up. It's fantastic. That's right. It's, I can't even remember what they're, what they actually do, what the scanner people actually do. I just remember that if they do it for too long, their heads blow up. Yeah. So, scanners are

people that have super psychic powers, right? So that they can control things, do things, and yes, they can tell a whatever telepathy. Cause people's heads to blow up and all that stuff. And that movie, again, with Michael Ironside, is being turned into, or

in the process of being turned into an HBO series, where Kronenberg is involved. I don't think he's the director on this. But, you know, he is, he's going to serve as the executive producer. And this time, it's a pair of women

who are living on the edge of society and they are trying to topple this vast conspiracy of government officials trying to use scanners for their evil purposes. The arrangement here is a bit like the Cohen brothers with Fargo. They don't direct. They

serve as executive producers and kind of name only, but they basically have their seal of approval on it. He has his on this, which to me is like a big ring endorsement. If you're going to make a scanner series, you kind of want his blessing, I think. So that's good to hear. And I'm all in on this.

This is an HBO thing, so it'd be nice and bloody. Yeah. You know, probably have a booby in it. I mean, yeah, so yeah, it'll be, hopefully it'll be on HBO. We don't know what Zazlov is doing this week. But yeah, for now, let's say yes. Maybe it'll get me to resubscribe.

To Disney or no, Discovery, HBO Max Plus, is what you'll be subscribing to. So this is a way. off, I assume. We don't have a date. Yeah, we don't have a date now, although this is a project that has been in the work since 2017. So my guess is we're probably looking at with all these names that are attached, including William Bridges, who is the writer and will be showrunner of the series. He did Black Mirror and Stranger Things. My guess is we'll probably see this in 2020. That sounds right. A couple of years, yeah. Real quick, when we were all teenagers, we're all roughly the same age, the three of us. when we were young teens there were always if we went into a video store blockbuster or mom and pop store didn't matter there was always a certain uh handful of covers there was always a smell too but there was a handful of of VHS covers uh basically small movie posters is how those behave right on a on top of a thing that would always always just stay in my memory yeah and i've got a whole bunch of them but the one that's one of the ones probably in the top three that always stayed in my memory was the scanner's cover. And all it was was Michael Ironside's kind of stiffly looking like this. With his eyeballs, like eyes rolled in the back of his head,

little veins popping out on his neck or his forehead. And I never saw it then. I saw it when I was in my 20s for, I can't remember Halloween or something. But I never saw it that and it was forbidden. My mom wouldn't let me get it. And I just could not get that image out of my head. The other one was cats, cat's eye, I think.

that one always got me and interesting which is like an like a um anthology like tales from the dark side kind of uh oh yeah totally that's right it was we saw we also film sac bad i think um no i always remember you haven't didn't we thought we did no why is that in my head oh my gosh i always remember videodrome as a cover that stands out the thing and the shining the thing is another one yeah yeah that's one of the shine yeah i guess the shining would be up there and i did see the shining when as a kid and it freaked me the hell out oh my god then flash forward to today and skeletors eating

Brian's toe my toes oh that's the worst horror movie of all and Brian you're right we haven't done cat's eye and I swear we did yeah no I hate that I've been wanting to I want I want to maybe we can sneak it into October I don't know oh it would fit if it's

the problem is is it you know streaming anywhere and I don't think I don't think it is that that's not that Stephen King movie is it the It is. Which one am I? Oh, really?

A big anthology with a little troll that's stealing the baby's breath. Yes. It's one of the four stories. Sorry, spoiler alert people. I swear, just you saying that makes me feel we watch her for film sack. I don't know why I think this. I don't know why. Yeah, for some reason I feel like you guys have talked about this.

I don't know. Why either? We didn't. Yeah. Yeah, life force is another good one. Cole says in the chat. Pet Cemetery. Yeah.

That is a movie that I went to go see my cousins when I was like, I don't know, 12. and they were all 17 plus and they're like hey we're going to go see this movie live for us and I'm like but can I get in there like yeah you're with an adult excuse me I'm going to sneeze yeah you're with an adult and that movie gave me nightmares or excuse me months that was the word months pronounced in sneeze language that was great I enjoyed that how you feeling you good you're not one of those three you're not one of those three three in a row guys are you Usually, sometimes two, but today is one. I'm usually a two-fer as well, but I've got friends that are a few.

If they don't do five, something's wrong. My youngest son is one of those that if he goes outside and it's bright and sunny, he starts sneezing. Oh, my gosh. He's got that sun reaction. Yeah, babies do that a lot. Yeah. Especially. They take them out of the sun for the first time, and they're like, ah-choo.

All right, so scanners coming. It's happening. I hope so. Yeah, I'm excited about this. Also, let's relive the 80s with some action figures. These D&D ones in particular. Why are these back? What's the deal?

Is it because D&D won't stop being popular? Is that the problem? That's probably part of it. We also have the Dungeons and Dragons movie coming out with Chris Pine. So why not double down and relive the 80s once more with some Hasbro Dungeons and Dragons, the animated series action figures? They've got them all, including there is a two pack. It's not listed here on the site that I gave you.

But there is a two pack with Dungeon Master. And what's his name? Not, not, uh, Cringer. I forgot, no, I forgot who the main bad guy was. Oh, Crenger's definitely not him. No, no, no. But, uh, I'm trying to find it here inspired by his,

I don't see the name. These are really cool. I mean, these should be really cool. They're six inches. So they're not a little tiny three and three quarter stuff. They're Star Wars stuff is. Uh,

these are going to be kind of beefy. And they, they come with accessories. They come with, uh, dice. So if you are wanting to, uh, build up your base set, you can get a D20, a D12, a D8, all that stuff is in there.

And it looks pretty cool. Now, the only downside, if you're going to get all of these, which I'm very tempted, if I had the money, which I know, if I had the money, I would, I would grab all of these, but they're 25 bucks apiece. And so what have you got, like, five, six kids plus the two pack, you're probably looking at about $300 total when you get this. But they are really cool looking. I found the bad guy.

It's Venger, is who you're looking for. Vinger, that's his name. Vinger. It's very close to Cringer. Venger, Force of Evil, voiced by Peter Cullen back then. So you're what you call him. Optimus Prime, yeah. Optimus Prime, yeah.

There he is. I'll put him up for the chat to see him. He's pretty cool looking. No nose. He has no nose. He's got kind of a... That's pretty cool. Well, yeah, spoiler alert for a 40-year-old TV show.

apparently if you watch the unaired finale it turns out like he is dungeon master's son oh weird really yeah yeah okay like in this final episode

he goes through this incredible transformation back to a human and it's like oh a father oh yes son and turns out that the dungeon master you're making me want to watch this thing and that's terrible I don't want to watch it but now I do because you said that

I don't remember but look at that's a really cool looking at you figure yeah look how articulate it is you got knee articulation elbows this is hasbro right this isn't even todd McFarley right and you can immediately uh get some cologne and set it on fire and burn that little unicorn that shitty little unicorn needs to go as soon as you can get it yes oh my god yeah what uh what pastry does that smell like yeah all the wrong ones is the answer to that question right uh well anyway relive your childhood today or soon uh The Goon and Eric Powell return to Dark Horse Comics.

How is that even possible? I thought this went to somebody else. Yeah, so, yeah, no, for a long time, you know, Eric Powell left Dark Horse to do The Goon on his own. He was having some varying different release schedules. He also wanted to do kickstart an animated series based on The Goon and just do stuff on his own. Well, now he's bringing all of that stuff back over to Dark Horse through the Albatross imprint. And for people who have not checked out the Goon, Eric Powell's art is super. fantastic but think like hellboy meets great depression meets um you know hp lovecraft it's so

good it's i haven't thought about the goon in so long but the you know the the goofy hat the weird look yeah the art is some of my favorite stuff um it's it's all you know stylized very very cartoon based but also really depthy and colorful and um it's a Amazing. The goon is great. This is good. That's a good catch for them to get that back, I think. And also more regularity would be nice, you know? Yes, I would like to see that as well. I don't know what Powell's schedule is, but I guess we're looking at the stuff to start showing up in 2023. So a few months from now, I don't remember seeing it in the Dark Horse solicitations for January. So we're probably looking at February, March before they start hitting. And Dark Horse has done a really good job of gathering other things back up. Like they currently have the Usagi Jojimbo stuff from IDW publishing. And yes. And so we should be seeing a lot of really. nice collections coming from this as well nice well if you're new to the goon i highly recommend it um even back issues if you can get them there oh yeah you can get the back issues without a problem yeah it's it's an awesome series uh well all right as usual lots happening over at major spoilers i'm sure

there's other stuff though why don't you tell me about it what else is going on over there uh this week on major spoilers oh we are back into our drifters game so if people want to know what star finder's all about and want to laugh their butts off while we play the star finders a game on critical hit it comes out every Saturday morning, 8.30am, and we're going inside someone's brain right now in the story. So a lot of good times over there with the Critical Hit podcast. Hey, did you see, we don't have to talk any spoilers because there aren't really any, but did you see Andor yet, either of you? I did. I didn't do what I wanted to do is, which is watch all three together. We watched the first two. We're going to watch the third one time. That's what I think you need to

do because my youngest was, again, my youngest, longest he's like 12 but he's really he really likes everything star wars was really geared up for this after the first episode he's like this is boring after the second episode he's like please like make it stop and so i was like okay well i'll stop and then i went back later and watch the third episode i was like no if you watch this as back to back to back which is the why they probably released them in three parts four hours it is it is a solid it's a solid story that needs some tighter And that middle bit is super short, the middle episode, second episode. It is. It's the 30, yeah, between two 40, five minute episodes.

Yeah, it's odd. Yeah. But, no, I enjoyed it. So I'm looking forward to the third episode. So I'm not falling into that, like, oh, man, if I would have watched all three of these at the same time, I would have liked them. Yeah, same deal. I think you're absolutely right, though. Kids are, this isn't a very adult realism-based kind of, this is what I want, actually.

This is 100% what I want out of Star Wars stuff. No little Easter egg-y kind of things. Oh, yeah, yeah. And service stuff. Spoiler alert, cash and dies. Yeah. Yeah, if you've all seen the movie that this character is based on, you know how things went.

But everything else feels fresh and new. It's not stuff I've already been told. And it is a... It's dark. With actors. I mean, it is a full environment. This is not the book of BobaFet. No.

But if you ever wanted to see Barron, Harkinen and uh, uh, uh, Harry Potter's weird aunt in the same TV show. I got good news for you. They're both in here. Um, that was weird to see her because that's, that's Harry Potter's mean aunt, uh, who plays the lady who rescued him. Anyway, I didn't realize that. Yeah, she's, her eyes just hit me and I went, I know that face and I immediately looked it up. My wife was annoyed because I'm like, looking at my phone while we're watching it. The one from, uh, killing Eve too, right? Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. same lady right i never finished that i need to catch up on that um but anyways is it's awesome if you if you're looking for a darker take a more realistic kind of gritty thing um the kind of on

the ground stuff that i love almost cyberpunky in some ways no i was going to say the whole opening sequence of episode one i was like holy crap this is what blade runner today should be like yeah yeah it's like blade runner in a bunch of ways it's awesome i love you imagine if they had done solo this way oh dude it would be so much a better movie like i would have love solo so my problem with solo is too clean just too shiny you know you got a you got a dirty things up man you got to go deep yeah if you're not going to have look i i'm all for the jedi side of things great whatever but i like it when they get gritty and i like that's why i liked about mando mando was was you know that way for a long time until it wasn't i'm it's still fine i still like it but you know i don't

think you need to rope jettis in every star star war's tale i think you can try to tell a story outside of That's what I liked about Rogue 1. There's no Jedi's in that, really. So more of this. I'm excited for this thing to play out. Really like it so far. Yeah, me too. All right.

Well, there you go. Major spoilers.com. Major spoilers on Twitter. And I'm a little thirsty. Steven, what should I do to... You should stay hydrant. Oh, well, damn it. That's an idea I hadn't thought of.

All right. What do I tell my riders in my lift car when I pick him up from the airport? and there's bottles of water in the back of the car, I say stay hydrated. Thanks, Stephen. Thanks for your great idea of staying hydrated. All right. All because of him.

It is all. Yeah, purely. We'd all be dead if you hadn't said it. That's the way I look at it. Totally. All right. We are done. However, a reminder, we got some stuff coming up today.

For example, so I've been doing the diary again. I haven't done it in years. Yeah. Or I should say a year. It's been a year since I did them. It's a good outlet for you. It is. And I used to really love doing it.

some 260-something episodes. So I've been doing it forever since like 06, I think. And there's big chunks of time in between where I stopped or whatever. But lately, I don't know, just was a nice cathartic thing to have. So I've decided to start doing it more often, a little 15-minute, 20-minute chunks. If you had

not heard that show, it's available up on the Frogpants site at frogpans.com slash diary or look for a diary of a cartoonist wherever you get your podcast. That's the full name of it. Although I'm kind of rebranding it a little. Anyway, that's all there. Hey, Brian, anything coming out of you guys today.

You got any music? Yeah. Hammond and I, recorded for the patrons, recorded an episode of our movie kind of review. I mean,

basically, if there's a movie out there that's musically related, whether it's a concert film or a documentary or just a movie that has a great soundtrack, we do it for our patrons.

And this last week, we released some kind of monster, which is the Metallica documentary about their St. Anger album and the creation of that and how you basically watch the band

almost implode during this thing. It's kind of like the anti-Betles get back documentary right? It's like a band that thinks they're on the edge of breaking up versus a band that has no idea that they're on the verge of breaking up. That's true. You watch Hetfield and

freaking what's his beak, the drummer. Lars, yeah. watching the two of them go at it. Dude, I didn't remember... And everything Lars says has to be said with so much drama. I know. Yeah, I think I will have some extra mayonnaise on my sandwich. He would drive me crazy.

Oh, every single thing, yeah, no doubt. When I did the whole Napster thing, I thought I was going to be hailed as a hero. It's a good documentary, though, and I didn't know about his painting stuff. That was all news to me. Yeah, no kidding. And watching him, like, in the background, selling his artwork and stuff at the auction it's great yeah it's really good anyway that's awesome check it out available now so if you're a patron of soundography you can get that if not then you can

become a patron of soundography and you know get that yeah why not if you like music great show uh okay film sack dot com film sack frogpants dot com slash tms is our website you can support us at patreon dot com slash tms like the new guy we got since we last spoke his name is mailman mailman man.
