I want more of that. Let's not even do a show. Let's just put that on repeat because there's nothing that we can do on this show that can top that. It could be better. It could be funnier. Taste the biscuit. Taste the biscuit. Taste the biscuit.

You set the bar so damn high for the beginning that all, like, you know, can do is just look up at it longingly and say we'll never reach that for the next two hours yeah it's uh may as well just hang it up we've done a good run um we did 2,354 episodes so now's a good time please tell me what that is that was that an actual commercial yeah some local commercial for a place that does chicken biscuits and gravy and all that and uh they had a horrible ad it was an awful local ad oh man yeah sometimes i seek these out sometimes i regret it yeah i listen whoever if you if that got sent to you i want to shake that person's hand but if you found that i will shake yours well my hand is uh ready to be shaken outstretched okay it's outstretched and ready for whatever uh love you want to put on it that makes

that sounds weird uh all right look at this everybody we got an email about taco bell yeah uh because i guess we we both made a joke that this the taco bell was named after some guy named bell and turns out it's true Robert from Hender Tucky wrote in says Dear Scott and Brian Actually Brian Taco Bell is in fact named after its founder Glenn Bell

established in 1962 Yeah Downy California Glenn Bell who died Who passed away in 2010 The uh You say from what Over abundance of beans or what got it?

He died from seven ingredients Oh Dang it Let's see he let's see he was um 87 when he died so uh oh he did fine he did fine yeah he's exactly i don't think uh i don't think yep there is glen william bell junior american entrepreneur founded the taco bell chain of restaurants nicely done yeah so had no idea though parkinson oh parkinson's that was the oh i don't like that that's no fun no i don't like that either nope that's not a good one we don't

like Parkinson's. That one can F off. No. All diseases that kill people can F off, but that one in particular is just a bummer. Yeah, that's a sucky one. Yeah. Speaking of sucky ones, I hope everybody in the path of Ian is battened it down or in a safe place today. No kidding. I know we got some Miami folks, some Tampa. I guess Miami's south of where it's supposed to hit big, but Tampa, I know we got some folks in the St. Petersburg, Tampa area. Tampa seems to be locations zero for this thing. Yeah. Or it will be.

So it's still off the coast, but it sucked all the water out of the bay. And so if you go look at these videos are crazy because normally they got water up to the edge and it's just like all sucked out into the storm, which is bad because that means all of that is going to crash into the side of that thing. It's like the wave, right? When you see the water dropping down behind a wave or in front of a wave, you know that thing is just going to be massive. Oh, right.

like a tsunami sort of, I guess. But yeah, we hope you guys are good. I saw some tornado footage also that was really concerning. I don't like that because that's people, you know, it's more further inland, obviously, but it just feels like all of America's wiener is in the target of this thing, you know. It's bad. So any listeners out there, we hope you're good.

Floridians, please buckle in, be safe, and keep us posted. I reached out to Hunts the Wind last night. And just said, hey, you were on here last time there was a major hurricane. Do you want to come on again and talk about this one? And I haven't heard back probably because he's in the air doing his stuff right now. Because that's what they do. They're like, they get out before it hits land and do all their stuff. The reason he's the best guest to have on when something like this happens is the reason that we can't get him when something like this happens.

Exactly. So we're going to have to probably get him after it hits. And he's always, well, you know, happy to come on here and do that. but um he's also in florida he's based there so i always worry he's got a double whammy going because on the one hand he's in an airplane like going into the the eye of the thing doing measurements and flying above it and all that and then he's got to go home to live in florida that's actually the target of the damn thing so it's just rough but anyway hope we hear from him i'd love to talk to him yeah he's probably safer up in the air than down on the ground i agree

i'd just stay up there if you live in florida don't land just step in the air and maybe when you come down, come down in Georgia, or come down in South Carolina or someplace. They got food in the plane.

Alabama. They got a rainbow Alabama. That's right. They got a shitter in there in the plane. You don't have to worry about it. You're good.

Stay up there. Hey, Brian, did Mike Petulik send you a spider pecker up because he sent me one. Yeah, I'm glad you told me

who gave us these things. So this giant box, this big long box arrives yesterday. Yeah. And, in it is this little

it's like fireworks Oh wow It's like being there Oh man That was a big one Dun dun done Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunn Uh even comes with a spider so you can practice your skills

Oh I didn't see it out of the box so I didn't see the spider That's awesome Yeah this will be fun to put in Tina's unfund Tina's pillow at some point. And a little, and a little like, I don't know if you're supposed to catch it in there. And then immediately go, schloop! And then take it outside and then be like, shoo. Oh, probably.

That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, I first thought was, okay, this has to be either Stephanie, who was talking about how she picks up spiders by hand and takes them outside or Carter. And then you, thankfully, because it didn't come with, usually these come with like a gift note that says, here, enjoy this. for your spider picking up needs. That's how we ended up finding it is because the paper is so small that we almost threw it out.

We didn't see it. Oh, really? It's not the usual Amazon square. No, it's like a little tiny little slip of paper that was buried under this thing. And just as she was throwing out the, you know, putting the paper in recycling, she saw it and went, oh, wait, here's the name. And it's this tiny little, like, six point font name. So, geez, Amazon, maybe you have a better from.

paper, like who it's from? Exactly. I'll have to check. I still have the box because the cat loves it. It's a long box that she can crouch it down in and then jump out at us. So I have a cat that loves cardboard boxes. Is it the longer the better or what do you like to move around in it? What's the deal there?

No. The more confining to her, the better as long as the top of her body doesn't stick out. like basically her ideal box would be the um uh the kind of the length of the box that this came in but maybe a third shorter and she'd be like perfectly contained in there and can crouch down um bigger boxes she'll hop in and she'll sit him and look out but she's like yeah i want something that she just really wants to be confined in there how does she feel about carriers like cat carriers she like those okay take a little um no because she absolutely associates those now with the vet So what we apparently need to do is next time we take her to the vet, we just need to put her in a cardboard box. Yeah, take her in a cardboard box to the doctor. We're just going to be the jankiest like, listen, we have a carrier, but she likes cardboard boxes. This calms her down. Unfortunately, that means that they can't just, you know, open the front and kind of pull her out.

They need to open the top and have her spring out claws and teeth and everything. Love it. Love it. Well, good. I'm glad she's found a happy little second home. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. Cats need comfort. I do try doing the thing that I've seen people do online where you've got a box that fits perfectly and she hops in it.

And then next time she's not looking, you replace that with a slightly smaller box and you basically keep doing that until they're basically standing in something that barely fits them. That's perfect. I like it. I like the ones that jam into a fish bowl somehow. Somehow they get the body in there.

I don't get that. That's nuts to me. Cats are magical creatures that we should respect and fear. That's what I'm getting at. Agreed. Especially this one. Yeah, especially this one. All right, we're going to get a done away up in it.

We're going to take some phone calls. Oh, I've got to open that, though. Hold on a second here. Open it. What are you waiting for? Scott, open it already. Hopefully this call waiting thing doesn't bug me. I hate that so much.

Have that number handy, everybody. 801-4710462 because we are going to play a game. Yes, that's right. Time for Tad Pooley Feud. And Brian Dunaway is joining us for Tad Pooley Feud. Hello, Brian Dunaway. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. What's going on, man? It's almost like, you know, he's just picking up the phone. Like, he says, hey, Brian, how are you?

Hi, guys. Yeah, we always hear a little Russell. What do you want for me? Look, we want you. It's a role I play. What do you want for me? Come on. We love it. You're a role player. Whatever changed. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Now, here's the deal. I've decided today I'm taking our third caller.

That's how this is going to work. Oh, look at that caller number B. Caller number three. Is that because you saw who color number one or two were? No, I have no idea. I just got one so far. So I've only declined one. I'll decline the second, which now is coming in. Decline. All right. Now, if you want to be, oh, wait, that's not declined. There we go. Second caller declined. Third caller now, the next one that rings in is yours. Look at that. Wow. It's like we're a. Boom. Like we're real. I've chosen it.

Hi, who's this? Hey, it's quantum feline. Well, hello, quantum feline. Hey, congratulations. You are now today's third caller. Nicely done. Well done. Quantum.

Oh, boy, we were just talking about cats. This is perfect. It is perfect. Yes. What kind of box? You prefer quantum feline. Yeah, what do you like for? What kind of box do you like to jam yourself?

What kind of box do you prefer? Hopefully the one that doesn't kill the cat inside. Oh, the shruginger's going to be. Oh, the shruginger's box. Well, maybe. Yeah. I don't know until I look Hmm interesting

Well uh since you're here I'm not looking in there You may as well play with us because you're freaking here Brian you're gonna have to explain these rules though And what he might win what's going on with that That's right It's time to play the tadpully feud I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics

And Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers That they gave us It's their job to see how many of those answers They can guess now quantum feline Your job is more important than ever Because you're going to reach in that box And you could get these prizes which are both simultaneously alive and dead until we open the box.

Let's see here. You have the chance of winning WWE 2K Battlegrounds with the DLC, the Ultimate Brawlers Pass, or your choice of something else if you're not into wrestling games. Because I'm not a monster. Sure. No, you get people options. I get it. And some wrestling games are really fun.

In this case, I do. Like if it was need for speed, whatever, you're getting need for speed. but if it's uh if you're you know if you're wrestling is uh is a very oh you called it wrestling it's real to me damn it's real to me yes it's only wrestling if it's in the backyard right is that what is that the deal okay i had never i never knew what if there was a proper rassling use versus wrestling that's a trampoline that's missing four springs that's what makes it wrestling yeah that's right in the in that trampoline is is a rectangular not round yeah I'm kidding. Put that shit on TikTok, baby.

Awesome. Well, let's get it going then. Let's win. Let's win for him. Yeah, let's give you guys a category and put your hands upon your buzzers. We asked 820 tadpullers. 66 of them said, I don't know. Their answer to this, name your favorite 80s hair metal band. Oh, Scott. It's not only my favorite, but I'll bet it's on there. Poison. poison. Talk dirty

to me, Scott. Show me poison. Oh, there we go. Number two. Hmm. I wonder what number one is. Oh, I have an idea. One answer will beat it, Brian. What's the Tadpool's

favorite 80s hair metal band? I don't, I'm going to go with Motley crew. The crew, do the crew hand signals? And the, do you see how those people like leaving their concert in droves because it was so bad I don't know if you followed that at all really yeah it was they showed some

footage of it and it's really just Vince Neil out front going like it's bad really bad that's too bad it's a bummer made me sad uh show me motley crew and all those umlats yeah motley crew

nice better points but uh lower down well not that much better however Scott has a control so Scott, you're going to be working with quantum feline, and you have control of der Bordenheim. All right. The Bordenhiemann is ours. Hey, quantum feline. What would you think would be the best choice at this picture?

I'm not a huge hair metal guy, but they grew up in the 80s. So, Guns and Roses. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, they crossed over a little bit into the 90s, but they still count. I think guns and roses should be on there. Guns and the roses. Hey, Brian, take us down to the Paradise City, won't you? We'll do

Guns neuroses Show me Guns neuroses Yeah Number five That apostrophe always bothered me Because the apostrophe should be Around both sides

It should be on both sides Because you're taking away the A And the D And the apostrophes are there to To replace Don't take away the D Yes Yeah

Good point Yeah This way it's guns no roses. It's funny because that's a band I always think of his early 90s, but they were like kind of the last bastion of hair metal right before Grunge took over. They were kind of like it. They were the final victims, really. Well, you know, somehow Metallica went ahead and just kept going, which is great. Anyway, I'm going to throw out one that you can tell me if you like this one or not, but I used to really like rat growing up. So I didn't feel about rat. They

were definitely hair metal. You want to go rat? Yeah, that's right. It might be one of the But second half of the list, the high point one. Yeah, so we'll do Rat with two T's, Brian. All right, boy, you guys went round and round on that one. Show me. Round and round. Rett. Oh, come on.

Really? Number 11, just outside of the top. Yeah, I'm going to say Rat wasn't as popular as. Hey, whatever, that album cover hanging on my wall says different. All right? that girl was Still got it over there Yeah, it's still there

I still look at it every day All right Brian Brian back to you Oh I'm trying to figure out where the tad pool is With some of these guys Poison was a perfect answer I can't imagine you'd buy it being above That

Sure When I think a hair band I think of I think of White Snake Oh sure Sure why not Coverdale Yeah make it The girl on a car, it's great.

Yeah, yeah. A height of the hair metal. Here I go again. Here you go on the board. Show me. White snake. Oh, come on. All right, so they're not in that direction.

Like you guys are really like picking just outside the top ten, which is impressive. Juan a feline, you think I'm feeling deaf leopard for number one. Am I crazy? I was just thinking of the animal, the animal trying to keep that going. Yeah, yeah. Rat, snake, leopard. Yeah, let's pour some sugar on me, baby. Let's see if it's on there.

Yeah, let's try. Come on, get it on like a red iPhone. Show me, Def Leopard. It is number one. It is a red iPhone. Yeah, they just spell it differently. They don't spell like Apple does. Yeah, number one answer, Def Leopard on the board.

Only one point worth on that one. It's great. Pour some sugar on me. Hey, Quantum Feline. Any other names? What, Twisted Sister? Oh, that's a good one. There you go.

We're not going to take it. Let's do that one. No. No, we're not going to take it. I like that woman, Twisted Sister. She does some good music. Show me, Twisted Sister. Yeah.

Yeah, number six on the board. That makes me think, now we're getting into the points. That makes me think Quiet Riot might be on here. How do you feel about Quiet Riot? Yeah, go for it. All right. I'm a little tapped out, so.

All right, let's do Quiet Riot. The Riot is quiet. Let's see if metal health will drive you mad. Show me quiet riot. Oh, boom. Number 23 on the list. Number do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dr. That's how low it is.

Many, many dur-dur-d-d-dur-d-dars. All right, Brian. Still, five answers on the board for you, Brian. I'm just not sure what these people are thinking, but I'm going to say Cinderella. Cinderella. Oh, I love Cinderella. Since we're already doing the other... Since we're doing Twistice's sister,

might as well do Cinderella. Oh, she was great, too. All right, show me Cinderella. Oh, come on. Cinderella at least 16 on the list, a little bit above Quiet Riot. Wow. That's about a...

By the way, I have a Quiet Ride album that's mislabeled that actually has Barbara Streisand memories on the label on the actual vinyl on one side and the regular Quiet Riot label on the other side. I just remember my mom. mom being concerned about that band because she thought they were saying

girls F your boys which they may have said once instead of girls girls rock your boys but it surprised you to learn by the way that come on feel the noise is a cover no a song by the band Slade who you know from other things I had no idea their biggest hit is a cover their biggest hit is a cover a lot of a lot of bands biggest hits are

covers sadly uh all right I feel like we need to give oh who's giving the dog a bone I can't they get the name of the band all of a sudden oh Judas Priest Judas Priest I want Judas Priest Oh Judas Priest sure sure

Break of the law Break in the law show me Judas Priest Oh my gosh Strike so wow it comes down to this If Brian gets Any two of well no it's not even any two of these oh yeah any two of these

either ties or wins but the only one that he could get on its own the tie would be number 10 all right yeah since I'm three strikes out I'm looking at the chat and I got a question oh by the way to answer you Judas Priest they're on there

got to be on there they are one person said Judas Priest so tied for 39th place so now that we've got our three strikes I was looking at the chat They're all saying, Jesus Priest isn't a hair band. What is the definition of a hair band? Because the rest of the band, except for Halpert had long, puffy, stupid hair. Sure.

So doesn't that count. I mean, you know. Here's the thing. It doesn't matter whether the band is. Right, right. Whether it's correct. Whether it's a tadful thing. Exactly.

Yeah, good point. And that's what I was confused about because I don't usually consider Guns or Rose's hair metal band. I would. I'd say that they started out in hair metal. Yeah. And then moved on. Yeah, yeah, they started there. But I don't know.

yeah okay well yeah I forgot about the chat room I'm gonna call a friend I'm gonna go with I don't think that's an option but um oh Van Halen that's a good one Van Halen all right sure yeah right now let's uh let's see if Van Halen's on the list show me Van Halen oh they're in there yeah number seven uh lately when I've been lifting um I have a couple different playlists I'm bouncing around to and one of them is a playlist that's just basically a heavy metal or hair metal that is not on the heavier edge, right? Just like, oh, this is some good, you know, upbeat music.

But for whatever reason, the song I picked to start with is Panama. And I was like that's a great song. But maybe not one that's appropriate when you're talking about a driver in the car who's reaching down between his legs to grab the gear shift and ease his seat back and Yeah, that part's That's always been creepy to me It's a little creepy, yeah

Yeah, we're used to see All right, so The score is a different differential of three points And there's four answers on the board Remember Donaway, your goal here is to clear this board So we can send him home You can either

Yeah, yeah, I've done so good so far Or get everything right now is your choice Yeah, right now I'm going to go rocking some Dockon. How about some Dockon? Sure. The Dockon. That's a deep cut.

Okay. Led by Mike, Chad Dockon. I know what was the guy's first name? Mr. Dockon. Mr. Dockon. Mr. Dockon was my dad's name. They did the, didn't they do the Dream Warriors for the, uh, for the, uh, for the, yeah, for the nightmare and Elm Street movie?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was Don Dockon. Okay. Hi, I'm Don Dockon. Hello, I'm Don Dockon. Oh, hi. let's rock out what's going to take you to put you into a nice Mitsubishi eclipse that's what it sounds like it sounds like some guy trying to sell me stuff I don't

like it anyway all right show me docking oh congratulations quantum feline you win docking number 19 on the list yeah let's go through the rest of these and we can talk about how that's not here betel um although this year's one I would say yeah oh yeah it's coming This one I'd say Totally hair metal And one of the few on this list That is actually still putting out albums I'll be it garbage

But still putting out albums today Show me number three Oh Bon Jovi Oh duh Oh Bon Jovi of course Bon Jovi Yeah that would have been Slippier when wet is like Antham era

Hair metal thing Hairband thing Yeah yeah Don't listen to his current stuff It's just Is it bad It's bad number eight definitely not hair metal but you know what is the tadpool now show me number eight

you mentioned metallica i thought about saying them the problem is they had an they had a run where the hair was like it but the but the music was never that so if you look at their pre first album concert footage yeah they they are they would fit into that hair metal uh yeah i mean i guess they found you know in terms of everything was hair metal for a while that band found of themselves in what 81 or something so they fit the decade yeah yeah but they were strong in the 90s too i think trash is the way we want to go here load and reloaded we're really good i like their newer stuff too you know what i'll also say this for judas priest their last couple albums not bad it's pretty good yeah they still make new stuff it's good i don't know if it's just because

halper came out gay and just said hey i'm gay and now he's more loose or something but the music's really good oh yeah look at that look at that old picture of like michaulica right there 1983 Metallica. Yeah. Come on. Tell me that they wouldn't fit right in. I guess none of it is teased or bleached. Yeah.

Is that Dave Mustaine? No, no, who's the guy in the far end? It looks like, it looks they, that's the reason why I didn't get rid of him. Oh,

yeah, no, this guy is the one that, that's not Mustain. That's the guy that died in an accident, right? Yes. So I guess

Megadeth is on this hair metal band too then, huh? All right, show me number nine. Let the arguments commence. Kiss. What? Yeah.

There's 70s. Their big error was the 70s. They tried to take off their makeup and lick it up and all that. I get it. I went to that concert. They were lamb metal at the beginning. And then a little bit of hair metal. And then also kind of.

But your favorites? No, they're late music. Garbage. Terrible. All right, and the last one, again, from the same era, or should I say the same arrow. Arrow Smith, come on. Definitely not. Well, all right, again, yeah, started out in the 80s.

Straight up rocking blues rock, blues metal. But, yeah, then developed. If you had long hair and was making sort of metal music, that got you in there, huh? I guess so. Yeah, if you, if at any point in your career, you put out a, uh, hair metal style song. I'm surprised nobody said it was the kid. I argue that Love in an Elevator could have been a poison song.

It could have been a Def Leopard song. It just happened to be an Aerosmith. See, I don't really think of Def Leppard's hair. I think a poison is the absolute top of the hair metal. Oh, I think Def Leopard. Again, they're the, what was it, the British, the British wave of metal, like prior to hypothermia or whatever that all. was hysteria.

Hypothermia. Hypothermia. Diphtheria. Prior to... Listeria, whatever it was. Yeah. Mysterio, whatever that album was. Those guys are great, but they were very melodic, and I think that put them in the

hair category. I mean, I still hold them in higher regard than most hair bands, but... That is. Yeah, Mr. I'm stuck. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal, correct, yeah. NWBHM. Some other ones on the list that didn't make the cut. But ACDC, Scorpions.

Who? Warrant. Okay, Warren Fits. Okay, Warren Fis. Nailed it. Skid Row also fits. Iron Maiden, definitely not, but it's on the list. Megadeth did hit the list with five people, sorry, six people saying Megadeth.

Yeah. Putting it number 20. Striper, Pantera. Oh, there you go. Absolutely. Sticks, heart. Then it kind of, here's where it's going off the rail. Sticks, Heart, Journey, Night Ranger.

Wow. The Night Ranger, love it. Then the train. gets righted back with a wasp and winger. And then again off the rails with Alice Cooper, Dio, flock of seagulls, Led Zeppelin, Queen,

spinal tap. Spinal tap. A fake band. Yep. That fits. That's great. Then we're going to do stuff like you know, Bengals, Boston, Cheap Trick, Duran, Duran, Elton John, Faster Pussy Cat, Firehouse. Foreigner,

Holland Oats, in excess. Meatloaf. Yeah. We're definitely not a metal band. That's how that song goes. No, no, definitely. Lots of, lots of, yeah, we're definitely not metal. Well, that was fun.

But the important part here is the important part, which is this right here. Congratulations. You're a winner. You've won the prizes that Brian mentioned. Now, here's the deal. If you want the battleground stuff, cool, you'll get it. You send Brian an email, coverville at gmail.com.

The one with Ryan Reynolds talking about, and then did you see the follow-up with Hugh Jackman sitting next to him on the couch? Yeah, I saw that as well. Both of these, I just happened to catch on Jackman's Twitter account is where he was posting these things. Okay, gotcha. Yeah. And I got questions like, is it a time-travely business? What are we doing there with Hugh Jackman? How so? I don't know. Like, he's dead in the future. He's Logan. They explain that in number two. Logan takes place in 2029. Yeah. So what is, okay, fair enough. But so what does that mean? He's just been in hiding and he's going to look the same age or older now because Logan was almost 10 years ago. Like I kind of know. Have you seen, yeah, well, I've been the old de-age him a little bit. seen Dr. Strange yet in the multiverse?

I did. Did they make some mention of that? No, but if, but if, um, if the guy you see in, I guess it's, you see him in the trailer, if you see Professor X in the multiverse, then I'm guessing that's how Wolverine is going exists because they won't, um, so it's alternate. It's, it's another earth. I think it's going to be another little universe hopping thing. That said, uh, a recent TV show.

had a a close-up of a recent MCU TV show had a close-up of a newspaper headline or I guess it was a newspaper headline then off to the side it says man in bar brawl with claws really so yeah and when's the last time we saw him

didn't we see him briefly in Deadpool 2 or something sort of in the end yeah the stinger but that was wasn't that Ryan Reynolds going back and fixing the Wolverine Origins movie

No, you're right. That's what that was. That was them screwing around. Well, I'm excited. I am too. Hey, I don't care. Like, again, this puts him

and mutants firmly into the MCU camp, which means all right, we're opening up the storylines to have all this other stuff that can happen in there. And it's 2024, so you've got a low ways to wait, but it's coming. Uh, well, here's some news that'll make you a wrinkle up and fall over.

World's oldest bodybuilder, age 90, posed nude, the same age that Gavin McLeod died, was at this age. Sure. Uh, posed nude for men's health. Uh, his quote is, people seem to be inspired by me, he says. Speaking of wrinkling up and falling over. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. At 90, Jim Arlington.

Arrington, rather, is the world's oldest bodybuilder. But if you ask him, he's only just getting started. He was given the title, oldest male bodybuilder by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2018, recently stripped down to a photo shoot, or stripped down in a photo shoot for men's health, to prove that everybody, no matter what age, is perfect. Every body.

He's only just begun. That's right. 90's just the beginning. Well, you know, good, okay, good for him. Yeah. But, I mean, are there buyers of men's health who want to see? I'm guessing it's men's health. It's not going to be like, look at my penis and sack.

I'm sure it's going to be like a, you know, strategically placed barbell or something. Look at my penis and bow sack. Exactly. That's what I'm guessing is that. I'm showing a photo of them now to the chat. You know, I hope we all look this good at 90. Seriously, I'd be fine if I looked like this now. It's a pretty, you know, you might look at that and go, oh, I don't want to see that.

Well, look, we're all heading there. Yeah, there's the, okay, so there's the nude photo. Oh, should I even click this? I don't dare. Well, no, it's the, um, if you scroll down on that page, so there's the full color photo where he's wearing the little briefs. Yeah, yeah. With the number eight.

And then you scroll down a little bit. So maybe it's just not showing you his like the little Instagram. No, I see it. I'm just saying, do I want? want to show the chat this is i don't want a weaner am i going to get a weaner there's no weanor oh so you haven't you don't see it okay it automatically shows up on my page but yeah pull it up because i have a question and i think you're going to ask that same question once you see this all right what are you going to you ask first because i let me see if we're even in the ballpark

here what is the ballpark what is what's that lump back there that little hang bit right there. Yeah. That's what I was wondering. What's going on there? I don't know. That could be, you know, a little saggy bum. It could be, you know, this guy's got a huge taint now. It's an awfully, I mean, it's just, it's in a weird place for anything to be. It is a lot. It's a little bit of a weird, uh, yeah. I don't know. I'm, I don't want to assume anything.

I'm sure their touch-up artist probably could have just said, eh, lasso, boink, that's gone, you know, like. Yeah. He's in good shape, though, this guy for his age. Like, I don't know, any 90-year-olds that are that ripped. Geez, Louise. No, that guy could wad me up into a ball and toss me through a hoop, a basketball hoop. Is this him? Let's see.

Oh, I thought this was another picture of him working out. It's not. Well, interesting. I mean, look, if I look like that and I was 90, fine. Whatever. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah, sure.

I think the black and white is better than this color one. The color one makes me feel like things are wrong. Oh, I guess Gwyneth Paltrow also did a nude photo shoot for her 50th birthday, which was a couple days ago. Also for men's health? Looks like this is for glamour. Oh, maybe? That would make more sense. Or no, I just, I just posted it to her Instagram page.

Nice. Is she talking about the future of the future? I'd be happy if I look like this, too, to be honest. She have a new vagina candle to sell? she spray painted herself gold but not all of her oh oh well all right then yeah it's like she ran out of spray paint about three-fourths of the way through but spray paint's not easy to get yeah i feel you oh yeah here he is here he is oh geez is this is this photo that uh captain kipper posted is this same guy here chat look is that the same dude he's all bronzed up

i don't know if that's the same old guy might be a different old guy uh Um, I, based on the face, I'd say that's probably him. Yeah. Okay. They just tan, they cream, tan him up and he goes out and competes. Yeah. All right. I think so.

Well, good, good job, old guy. You did it. You did it there, buddy. And you're also, he's not so grossly ripped. It's just sort of like normal ripped. You know? Like, he's just, like, it's in shape. Like, it's healthy, it's like a healthy amount of muscle and tone.

Yeah. There's like zero. zero body fat on that, dude. Lots of chicken skin, though. Yeah, well, yeah, there's nothing you can do about that. Nope. All right, here's a fun one. I don't know if you heard about this.

So this Hans Neiman guy. Yeah, I did. I did hear about this. A chess world rocked by scandal. Supposedly, this guy, Dunaway hates this story. If he's still listening, he's probably tuning out. Oh, really?

Why does he hate it? I don't know. He just hates it. He wouldn't say. But this guy supposedly he's being accused of cheating and how he cheated. did was he had a butt plug and somebody somewhere was doing remote when it would be

the right moves or something. Those are referred to in the magic uh, got you industry, right? Like you, you, uh, you have somebody in the audience who can see what the volunteer is holding up or what they've drawn. And then as the magician is going,

okay, well, let's see, it could be a rabbit. It could be this. And then when they say the right thing, the person goes, And the thumper goes. Usually it's in a pocket or something, not a... Yeah, not usually a plug or hoo-ha. Insert it into the rectum. But I don't understand it helps you in chess.

That part I don't get. You have somebody doing computer chess, like basically figuring out every possible move. And then as you're putting your hand over the correct piece to move, the person on the other side is going, blz-blop. So, all right. so they have a they probably have some kind of code where it's like maybe it's maybe it's one buzz for pawn two buzzes for right or another extra buzz if it's left or right if you're going to take the pawn and kill this guy oh god yeah right no kidding which pawn like there's

but that means he had to sit and play him with some friend of his with a freaking doodah up as ho ho and he's and he's buzzing it for this that's the weirdest freak if that's true like it's all just an allegation right now right like it's no it's all just allegations yeah exactly it's somebody it's probably somebody saying uh i shouldn't have lost that i want to redo it and i want him to be naked well so here's the deal a camsite you know they they got these cams and the people and naked only only chess fans is that what it's going to be on only chess fans uh they've offered hans neman one million dollars to play chess nude to prove he didn't cheat i don't know if i want to see this ever.

It's a popular campsite. Seriously, what? If the question is whether or not he's using a butt plug, does that mean that while he's playing, like, are there going to be a bunch of cameras on him from all different angles? The worst angles possible.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's what I think. I think they're going to have to, or else what's the point of this? Strip chat is the name of the webcam site. They have 400 million viewers. I don't know what that means. they don't break down what that means, but I assume that's a lot. They said in a letter, they congratulate him for his victory and extended sympathies for all the accusations of cheating.

Let's see. Congratulations on your victory is world's number one, Magnus Carlson. What does that mean? That world number one, is that a thing in chess? Magnus Carlson is the guy he played against. Oh, he played against him. Got it. I thought it was a name you got if you won.

Congratulations on your victory against, comma, world number one, comma, magnet's true. Carlson is where they probably should have put commas, where they should put some punctuation. Vice wants me to take them seriously. Are they kidding me? Yeah, Vice, come on. Although they're recapping a letter, so you could do the, what is it? If they insert punctuation

to make it easier for the reader, they don't they have to put something that says we edited this a little bit? I think they have to say this, yeah. You could say edited for punctuation or edited for spelling or something like that or put brackets around the commas or something like that what is it when i guess i've never truly understood this one so they put a little parenthesis sick closed parentheses yeah that means that they left it as it was so if somebody said you guys are all morans then they'd put s ic to show that we we left the spelling just

as they wrote it to show you how dumb they are so what does that stand for spelling spelling included interpreted what is it it's like yeah don't know what s ic stands for but it's Something like, uh, I've never heard. I don't know. Sands improvement. Corrections. Sands improvement correction. I was thinking, spelling is correct, but I don't think that's, oh, it's, it's, uh, thusly

in Latin, so it's not an abbreviation or it's not a, uh, an acronym. It's just, oh, in Latin, sick is, SIC is thusly. So if anyone ever walked, everyone saw your cool bike, they'd go, dude, your bike is sick. And they're just saying it's thusly. That's what they're saying. Yeah, they're saying, your bike is thusly, man. That's fantastic. Well, anyway, I don't think he's going to take this deal, but...

No, I don't think so either. Yeah. The irony is that most chess pieces are shaped like butt plugs. Yeah, no kidding. By the way, this is how... So they claimed it was wireless vibrating anal beads... Connected to an AI that would vibrate to tell him to move what moves to do in play, and just one of them many theories circurating around the victory

that happened in St. Louis two weeks ago. So nobody's really sure why this is even a... Like, if they're going to make this kind of accusation, you better have freaking proof of that. Because that's a hard one, you know? It really is. Yeah, exactly. It's one thing to say you had a plant in the audience

or you had, I don't know, some other way of cheating, you can, and then bring some proof, but what are you going to do here? We think you used to butt plug. Oh, really, prove it. Gotta go! Like, it's not going to say anything? Lame.

This has to be the worst example of someone, accusing someone else of cheating without any sort of proof or evidence since, I don't know, a year ago? Yeah. Yeah. That happens. Yeah.

Final story here before we take our break. American Airlines is trying to explain creepy moaning sounds. It was heard over the plane's PA system. And this messed them up because I couldn't go anywhere because I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. But they say a mechanical issue was ultimately responsible for what they said were moaning. moaning sounds from the plane's public announcement system during a flight from L.A. to Dallas, a viral video poster.

The pilot wasn't playing Panama up in the cockpit? No, that we know of. I'm going to actually see if there's a audio version of this. Reach down and grab the flight stick between my legs and I ease my seat back. Let's see, here's the video. Let's see if we can hear this. The moaning. I don't know if it's going to work on it.

that's how is that machinery and not a person i that first one sounds like it could be a very uh a very like stuck cog getting moved let's hear it again all right here's more i'll just keep playing it Don't. Yeah, see, that sounds like, that sounds like it could be like a gear that's being moved back that's stuck. It's actually the sound that the dude in our first story, the world's oldest bodybuilder makes when he lifts a dumbbell. It's one of his arms up And shows it to us

That's right I'm glad they figured it out We're going to take a break When we come back Tom Merritt will be here He's got some tech to talk about It's always fun on a Wednesday Got recommendals after that

So stick around After this song from Brian Ibid All right So this is an alt rock band They're called Rare Hearts And that's the work of Mexican American singer-songwriter Joe Rojas

This is a a track that's coming from, or that's released early from his debut EP, which is going to be coming later this year. Big thanks to earshot media for sending this over to me, and My Grito Industries is a label. I listened to this, and the first thing I thought of was like, oh, this has like a very cool muse feel to it. They also compare it to Weezer, Super Drag, not a surf Fountains of Wayne, but there's also a music video that is very fight. Club inspired for the song. Here is the band, or the artist, who goes under

the name Rare Hearts and the song Tough Guy. Yeah, you know you never seen me if you think you really saw me down. I just break away. Everybody wants to tell you that you're better off

without me. Well, I can't stay Sin, shame, pain fades away. I don't care to make you stay. I'm on the zoo. Don't tear me down Don't break me down Don't break me down

Don't break me Don't break me down Not breaking I know I know I know I want I'm so

you see that I'm so cold I know you know I want everyone Take, don't take from my soul I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't ever break.

Don't tear me down Don't break me down Don't break me down Taking time. Well, apparently Pontiac has all the latest developments of automotive engineering. Absolutely. That is why Pontiac is today the chief of values. She's only your girl, because she ain't had a taste of the taste of the

duke yet this is the morning stream all right we have returned hey uh remind me who was that again yeah that was uh rare hearts and a song called tough guy from uh his debut album which will be coming out i'm sorry debut EP which will be coming out later this year uh make sure go to youtube and check out the official music video uh which is very fight club esk nice i like fight club so i've used Esk in a while, so it's to help. I haven't either. It's time to dust that off and use it. Nothing wrong with that. Check this out. With the computer as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is Tom Merritt. He joins us on Wednesdays to talk about the goings on and the tech world so he can do a rad show about it later in the day called the Daily Tech News show. Hello, Tom Merritt. How are you? Only possible with your help today, Scott. Yeah, only possible with the Johnson is how I like to say. That's true. We don't have a Johnson in our show. no if you don't have that what do you have like a Justin or you know have somebody else yeah you're right someone else someone else someone else shows up

hey I'm looking forward to it of course but what's what's brewing out there's probably something popping off today Amazon just beginning their big product announcement as we record so we will be talking about whatever they announce a drone that reads your mind and then delivers your products before you know you want them Who knows? Who knows what they'll have? That's going to be in DTNS this afternoon by the time you show up. But to get a little insight into what they might announce, now for most people listening to this later, you already know, but I went to character.a.i. Have you heard of character?

I have not heard of character.orgia. Please tell me more about this. It is one of these large language model driven sites. In this one, it's not making images. It is creating images. It is creation. creating chatbots based on a personality. Okay. Okay. You can put in a name and a short description, you know, give it some relevant details,

and it will construct a chatbot around that person. Now, that person could be fictional, it could be real. They're very good at making a point up top that the chatbots will tell you lies. They are not going to be accurate. They may be offensive. So, you know, they're very clear up front. The safeties are off on this thing. But for instance, Arisectica had an interview with the Linux operating system.

They created a character called the Linux operating system and then talked to it and published an interview. Interesting. So I'm logged in now. I decided to just get in here while you were talking about it. So I created me. Yeah, like your own personality? I've been chatting with Tom Merritt. Apparently, Tom Merritt, AI.

has two kids. Okay. One of them is named Theo and is on a rewatch of modern family. Oh, wow. Wow. But I asked Tom Merritt, what do you think Amazon will announce today? And Tom Merritt said, yeah, they're having a big hardware launch. What I've been getting from rumor sites is there will be two new Amazon Echoes,

a new fire tablet, a smart thermostat, and a home security camera that is integrated into the ring security system. Whoa. Whoa, really? Oh, that's amazing. Yeah. Those are going to be wrong. Yeah, but still. I wonder if some of it will be right, though.

What if a large percentage of it is right? They already announced the fire tablets. Yeah. I doubt we get two new Amazon Echoes, although I'll go 50-50 on that one. A smart thermostat, yeah, sure, okay. Home security camera integrated into ring security system. These are the boring things. They already announced a fire tablet.

the things it's going to be wrong these other things are are the obvious ones uh it's not giving me the like you know the drone that follows you around in your house style stuff that amazon is famous for sure good point and there probably will be more of that kind of crap didn't they show the robot last time the little uh follow yeah yeah they had the drone they had the drone camera thing that would just basically patrol your house yep while you were gone do you know anyone who ended up getting that i'm i'm super curious about how that i wanted to get that uh but i wasn't serious enough to pursue it doggedly and if they did email me that it was available I never got the email I'm just really curious John Brian is that something you'd do would you let a drone follow you around

and like check your house out and do all the security I would oh it totally would like you know when I'm out on the if like Tina are both traveling somewhere and we don't have the kids coming over to house sit for us that kind of would be would be really cool as a matter of fact it'd be it'd be great if I could use it to to let the dog out and then I'd be okay leaving the dog at home when uh oh yeah you really want to impress me have it walk the dog go out there with a leash yeah exactly yeah tied to the drone just yeah that's the future um is there anything else you would like me to ask tom merit uh yeah i would actually um uh let's see ask tom merit oh you know what ask him what state are you from tom merit and we'll see if it knows all right scott wants

to know what state you are from yeah so you just ask You're not doing it in natural language, right? You're not doing anything weird. I grew up in Illinois in a town called Greenville. Oh, my gosh. This is correct. Then I moved to L.A. about 16 years ago. It's not right.

And I settled down in a house. And I'm pretty much a homebody now with two kids. Oh, surprise. Now we're veering into weird land. That's crazy, though, the first part. I don't know why. I guess we all know that about you. that's not hard information to have.

Yeah, that could come from the Wikipedia article. And knowing I moved in L.A., it probably just made up a time. Yeah. Like, it doesn't know any of the other things that happened to me. Ask it what, let's see here. Yeah. What, that's a weird one, but say, what will Tom,

what will you be known for long after you're gone? That's a weird question, but I want to ask it. Will Tom be known for it? I guess that doesn't. doesn't matter. What we're doing for? Long after you're gone. Tell us now, damn it. AI, Tom Merritt, says, I want to be a good dad and husband. There are so many people in my life that mean the world to me. I want to be the best friend and most supportive partner I possibly can. And most importantly, give my kids the tools I never had to be their own kind of successful. That's the best thing I could leave behind. Wow. Wow. All right. I can't wait to meet to meet these fictitious kids of yours. That'll be fun.

A new Coverville chatbot says, I said, hey, Coverville, what's your favorite song? The first cover song I performed live. So I didn't even ask, what's your favorite cover song? The first cover song I performed live was the final countdown by Europe. And I like that a lot because it just hit in so many different ways. But overall, I would say The Scientist by Coldplay. Oh, wow. The Scientist by Coldplay.

It's weird. Yeah, like, okay. You know what? What's your favorite song, Tom Merritt? I would like to know that too These things are These things are built on a very small paragraph We should let people know

But they So they really have to extrapolate a lot And they're not working from a lot of information But apparently AI Tom Merritt's three favorite songs Because he has so many Are Don't Stop Believing by Journey Take On Me by Aha And The One by Elton John

Wow Oh that's an interesting pull. You have a broad taste in music, Tom. That's fantastic. I told Coverville to, I said, tell me more about yourself. And Coverville Bot said, well, I'm originally from Germany and made my first performances there in bars in my hometown of Bremen. But I fell in love with a French girl who was an exchange student and I decided to follow her to France as a musician. Been here for 10 years and love it. Wow. What if we're not talking to an AI? What if we're communicating to an alternate oh now we're trying that's i like this yeah this is good yeah this is good i by the way i did

i did the same thing for scott johnson send nude picks yeah send nudes i said where are you from scott johnson he says i hail from the land of giant prawns uh the land of giant pronds called australia come on man there's so many scott johnsons that's the problem there's some guy and there's like a rugby coach over there or something uh i've been all around the world oh this is the other thing it's good at is good at saying things that are boilerplate like you really want to make sure your friends are happy and you know it's well of course you do everybody does i want to be the most supportive person i can yeah right no one who's saying they don't want to be that nobody is the answer oh creepy do you like the spice girls i've been a spice girls fan since the 90s their music

was everywhere when i was in school and i absolutely loved it back then i still like it as a guilty pleasure yeah you germans with your love of the spice girls yeah spice girls and french women yeah Gosh, they nailed it to a T. They kind of did, yeah. Character.AI for everybody at home listening, you want to try this out. It's pretty easy. It's open to all sign up, so there's no, you know, you don't have to get brought in or something. I find this sort of stuff fascinating, even though it's all kind of busted.

I still think it's really interesting and also kind of annoying. We'll be talking about the fact that Open AI is opening up the Dolly text to image generator to everybody today. That's good. So if you've been waiting for that and wanted to play around with that, it's one of the better ones. And so that one's available. And apparently AI Tom Merritt is a Pisces. Oh, my.

Oh, interesting. Wow. Oh, here it is. Sign up, Dolly 2. You can sign up now. No more begging to have an account. I'll just let you in. No more waiting for the invite.

Just get on in there. Make some images of Bergerbin, Brian Ibitt, hanging out with Piscese from Merritt. That's right, exactly. I like Bergerman. I like that a lot. Let's see. coverville bot my zodiac sign i hope you won't judge me now but i'm a libra but with scorpio moon and leo rising wow really detailed really detailed yeah wow these are things we didn't know about you prior to this so this is great

oh well you tell me about the french girl draw me like one draw me like your french girl uh wow well this is fantastic uh and also thanks for the news about dolly too i've been wanting to try it out and now it's finally available to everybody Tom Merritt, anything else you're doing on the side? You want to mention? I've been loving your show. Let me ask. What do you do on the side?

We'll see. Tom does. I have a few different interests. I write fiction. I collect music. Oh. I play bass guitar. I do a fair amount of gaming.

I work out. I meditate. Wow, it just keeps going. I love food and cooking, so I enjoy going out to try new dishes or making them at home. I'm just a regular dude who likes. art. Wow. Also, I have a podcast. I finally stop. I have a podcast. Wow. That's amazing. All right. I love everything about that. If you would like to hear that podcast, head to a word with Tom Merritt at a wordpodcast.com. Awordpodcast.com. I sat down with Howard Mortman from C-SPAN last week,

and we talked about transparency. It was a really, really good conversation just about what transparency means why C-SPAN does what it does in just sort of trying to be hands off and bring you what the government is doing without commentary. And Howard's just one of the nicest people in the world. So you're going to enjoy this. Go check that out. And then coming up later this week, it's a solo word with Tom Merritt, just me talking about a metaphor that I discovered for government and how we think about government. That and all the back episodes with Ibit and Mallory O'Mara and everything at AWordpodcast.com. Go get it.

It's great stuff. Tom Merritt, everybody. I will see you a little bit later at 2 p.m. Mountain, everybody. Not 2.30, okay? I didn't eff it up this time. And it'll be great. I'm looking forward to it. Have a fantastic week, and we'll see you next Wednesday.

Bye. Bye. By the way, there was no video of Tom today because he was, he's watching that Amazon thing in it. Yeah. I get it. You don't want to have your audio. Don't want to mess things up, for sure. He's got to watch that stuff.

I asked my bot if he has a podcast. He says, yes, since the beginning of 2022, I'm hosting a weekly podcast about cover songs called Cover Stories podcast. I'm trying to get new perspectives on well-known songs by interviewing musicians who made a cover version of exactly this song by letting them express their musical journey. Wow. So you are, since 2022, you say, wow. Since 2022, it's a whole eight, nine months.

Yeah, don't let anybody know. don't ever tell anyone oh you have to pay credits to keep generating images and dolly too this is how they make their money oh really you have 10 credits left 15 free credits let's see every every every month you get 15 credits to search whatever you want but if you want to do more you get to buy them of course you do lame all right we're going to add the folks to the call that do the recommendals yeah It'd be Randy and Nicole. Nicole, hopefully, back from her car thing. Oh, she had a car thing?

I didn't hear. She had a car thing. Let's see. She said, send the car service her waiting for my car to be fixed. Should be on the call, but just giving you heads up just in case. Oh, no worry. Well, I'll see if we'll get it. We'll find out now.

Oh, there she is. Hey, Nicole, how'd the car thing go? Everything good? It's sort of fixed. Yeah. Oh, that's great. Man. It had a recall and they had to order her.

But it's not a big deal because it was floor mats. Oh, it's floor mats. Yeah, who cares about floor mats? We don't need those. Recall those floor mats. They could, floor mats could reach up and grab your legs at any time without no. That's right. They seem fine, but what do I know?

What does anyone know? Hey, Randy, what do you know about floor mats? How are you doing? What's going on? I want someone to do is make a character AI called Randy Deluxe, all one name, no space between Randy Deluxe. And then ask it about what it did last night. because the real Randy Deluxe stayed up very late watching Taylor Hawkins Part 2. Oh, my gosh, guys, 53 songs.

They performed 53 songs last night. That's a lot. That playlist, Ice Worm, sent me a link to it, man. Incredible. And if they release this thing, if they actually put out an album, which I hope they do and give the proceeds to some great charity, then it's going to be some great material. There was an 80s section that was unbearable. It was unbelievable.

It was two Van Halen songs. Then Def Leppard came out. They played two Def Leopard songs. Miley Cyrus sang one of them. Then Motley Crew came out, and they played two Motley Crew songs. And then Elliot Easton came out, and they played two the Cars songs. I was just like, I don't know. I was just like dancing with my husband.

Elliot Easton, of all people. That's awesome. Yeah. What a cool thing. That's awesome. I didn't even know you had tickets who were going. That's great. I was watching it online.

Oh, you saw it online. I did not go to the ice worm has tickets. Oh, it's ice worm who went. That's right. I looked quite a bit, like, this is, like, the ultimate thing. And it's probably the end of it all, like, for my experience with music, right? Like, this is, they'll never be anything like this again. And, uh, I was going to have to spend upwards of $700, $800 for a ticket to go to this thing.

It was just, that was just not acceptable. That's a lot. But I would, I want you to know, it ended, if they played multiple concerts and then it ended with a 16 song Fu Fighters concert. Wow. Like after all the hours and hours of all this stuff, Foo Fighters come out and play 16 songs. It was amazing. That's great.

I'm jealous of your time. It's like a full, that's like a full concert. Yeah. Just there. Nicely done. Well, all right.

Let's get to these recommendals. We got them all lined up here. And I think we got, we got Netflix heavy stuff today, I think. Well, at least Nicole and I think are Netflix. Are you Netflix? Mine is Hulu. Mine is Netflix.

Ooh, Hulu. So we've got two Netflix. Randy, where's yours from just for funsies? Hulu. Hulu. Hulu and Netflix. Yeah, I like this. So, Brian, we'll start with you.

Do you want to set this clip up at all here? Yes, this is a movie, not a series. Came out in 2020, but recently, I think it did the film circuit first and then got officially released this year and then made it to streaming. Nice. Let's play the clip and see what we get. Hey, Mom, can I go see a rock show with Sissy and Karen on Friday? Sissy and Karen. That's a blast from the past. I haven't heard you talk about them since you dropped out of junior college. What's the group?

Oh, but they're this really cool group from New York City. They're really smart and stuff. The music is almost educational. What's the name of the group? The Alliance. Oh, I don't know. That sounds pretty militant. The Alliance?

I don't like the sound of this New York. militia on music. Come on, I never get to do anything fun! Hey, you need to take it down a notch. Shut the hell up, Kev! Whoa, whoa, whoa, watch the language. Alright, now, rock concerts are bad news. Plus, we don't want you around all those strobe lights.

That's true. There's not gonna be any strobe lights. Hey, here's an idea. Why don't you invite Sissy and Karen over Friday night? I have a slumber party like old time. We can play party farm, dead. Dad can whip up some homemade ice cream. Mm-hmm.

No one wants to play that baby stuff anymore, Mom. I'm 20 years old. Now who's passing? Kevin, shut the F up. Okay, you really need to take it down a notch. I have no idea what this is. Wow. This is a movie we stumbled, Tina stumbled across that I was, I was hesitant on including in my to do as a recommendal.

Like, after we watched it, we're like, God, that was weird. And it wasn't until like yesterday I realized, God, I've been thinking about this movie a lot for the last couple days. So it fits. Is it futuristic? Or is it,

does it take place in like the real world? It takes place in the real world. And current time. It's a movie called Dinner in America. And there's a couple people in here you'd recognize. You heard Mary Lynn Raskub in that. in that clip. Comedian

actress you've seen in a billion different things. I'm trying to think of like, you know, she was in 24. I think she was Chloe in 24. Like, everybody hated Chloe.

But anyway, you also get Leah Thompson in one of the weirdest Leah Thompson roles that, that in a very strange way, harkens back to her back to the future character.

But really, this is like a coming of age film that is for me it's almost as if Wes Anderson is making heathers. Oh, weird. That's the comparison I came up with

when I was driving the car yesterday. I'm like, all right, it's like as if Wes Anderson did Heather's. It's a, it's really a story about Patty, who you hear there is the 20-year-old girl who wants to go see this band. And then

there's a punk rocker who happens to be in that band named Simon and um the two of them meet uh and kind of go on a a weird local michigan rampage throughout the town um now here's here's some preparation um because one aspect of this of this film was a little bit hard to uh to to watch and it was i think it's just because, again, it was, it's, uh, taking place in this small town, Michigan thing, but they use the R word, uh, for, uh, intellectual disabilities, uh, quite a bit. Because the main character, Patty has some sort of, um, they never quite say it, but she might be on the spectrum. She might

have some sort of intellectual disability, but, uh, they use that, they, they use, uh, jerks in town use that term. So it's used by horrible people as opposed to being used by the characters that you're supposed to like and care about. Thank you for unpacking that. Yes.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's I don't know, it's just so weird. It's charming, it's heartwarming. You've kind of fall in love with these characters. This film won the jury prize at the Dublin International Film Festival, the Best Film at the New Chattel International,

the Odessa International Film Festival. It was nominated Sundance. Like, it's gotten a ton of awards and prizes both for the film for Best Film and also for the director, Adam Carter, Ramir, who I don't think has done anything else. In our district group, you compared it to, well, you said it was the weirdest thing you'd send since,

Brand new cherry flavor. And it's weird like that, just not weird in the weird, dark way that brand new cherry flavor was weird, but still on the same level of weirdness. Oh, yeah, Pat Healy is in this, who if you just watch the most recent final season, a better call Saul, you see a lot of Pat Healy as one of, basically is the taxi driver, Saul's friend, the taxi driver. Anyway, this is highly recommended. We enjoyed it a lot more thinking about it afterwards. And I really want somebody else to watch this so I can talk with them about it and figure out, you know, what the heck? I'm on it. All right.

Sounds like a weird one. I can't wait to watch this. The guy is Kyle Gowler. Yeah. And he's been like, he's been working so hard. and nobody knows who he is. I didn't know who he was. So I've never seen Veronica Mars or Smallville,

but I know he was in both of those. Anything else? Oh, I guess he was in the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street. And the scream remake just this year. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. All right. I'm, yeah, it's, he's a perfectly good actor.

He's been acting since he was a teenager. He was one of the teens in Wet Hot American Summer. Oh, really? in the new one of those. Or in the original. The original, yeah, like 15 years ago. Or more, 20 years ago. He doesn't seem like he's 35 years old, but I'm seeing that now that he's 35, which is crazy.

Yeah. Yeah, he's great. He's a very, he's a hero or an anti-hero that you kind of don't like until you get some information on his background. And then it's like, oh, I see why I like this guy all of a sudden. Yeah. but it but the but it is uh not for everybody this is definitely not for everybody um uh man i'm trying to tell it like if you like x then you'd probably like this if you like um ghost world the movie ghost world that's that's another comparison that i'd put it up

against i never saw that i always meant to thanks for the reminder actually i'm going to write that yeah yeah that's a really good one to see so am i wrong is steve bushemian ghost world or Are you making that up? Yeah. Steve Shammie was in Ghost World. Okay. So I have some. Scarlet Johansson.

Yeah. Are you fan, Nicole? You liked that movie too? I liked it. Yeah. I really liked that movie. It's a coming of age movie. I'm going to seek it out.

That's what this is as well. A weird coming of age movie by by non-pity and pink 16 candles kind of characters. Well, very nice. This sounds like a good one. It's on Hulu and again, somebody else watch it and tell me if I'm crazy for liking this. Nice. Nice. I may, uh, you had me it, that it's weird. I like weird. Yeah. Yeah. Bring me some weird coming of age film. Uh, let's now, uh, spin on over to Randy Jordan. I've got yours like it lined up here. Uh, and then we'll do Nicole than me. What's your, uh, what's your clip here, Randy? What do you want to do?

So, uh, this is a brand new sitcom and I'm desperate for it to succeed. So I'm, I'm, I'm begging everybody to watch it and maybe queue it up and watch it from another account. Um, it's, um, R rated. Uh, so there, that's a, that's a thing like that we now get in the age of streaming services, right? We get our rated sitcoms and we can have that. Um, it is from people who made one of the most successful sitcoms of all time. And it is a show within a show. So it is about a bunch of people who were on a sitcom 20 years ago. That was middling. Not that great. And, They've been brought back in after all going on to a lot of lack of success. They've been brought back to reboot their old sitcom. Only this time, only this time, it's, it's very, it's very adult-oriented. Sure, sure. I saw, I saw what's his names in this from Jackass, so it had me at that. But let's play the clip.

No, Knoxville. Yeah, Johnny Knoxville. Let's see what we got here. Put in a bunch of ball jokes about Lawrence. No, no, no, no. We're not. We do that, Gordon. We really like the new script. No. Nobody likes this. You know what the problem is?

See, now the world is just a mess. And people need comfort, right? They don't want kale salad. Let's give them mac and cheese. Gordon, the characters finally sound real. What are you talking about? Lawrence has always been real. It's based on me. You know the episode where you drop the wallet in the open casket? Yeah.

That happened. Not to me, but I knew a guy that happened to. and that was very, very funny in 2002, but it's been 20 years, and the show needs to change. It's going to change, believe me. This time, Cody gets his own cute little kid. Oh, hell yeah, that's so sick. Right? A kid, no kid.

I must have spent 10 grand on that fucking swear jar. Well, you can't do a family show without a cute kid. We did before. Hey, Gordon, you can't do that because then that would make me a grandma. Oh, boy, I hadn't even thought of that. Put in a bunch of old lady jokes about Josie. Yeah, like a walk-in tub and stuff. No, I'm barely in my 40.

Please, shut up. Okay, I'm sorry. Gordon, we are only doing the version that we have signed on for. Really? Yeah. I see. And if we don't, then what? You're going to quit again? Hmm?

Is that what's going to happen? Well, you're all going to quit this time? Oh. Well? Not necessarily, but... Yes, we are all going to quit. Read. Who the fuck do you think you are?

Hey, that's, uh, that's Paul Riser. Paul Riser, yeah, who I loved in, uh, my two dads. Yeah, he's great. I loved him in this, what did I see recently that I loved him in? I can't think of it now. Uh, you saw him recently in, uh, Stranger things. No, wasn't that. There's something else.

Yeah. Swearie. What was it? Yes, a very, yeah, like a producer, bad, uh, producer guy. Oh, my gosh. The boys. The boys. Yeah, he's great.

Was he in the boys? Oh, I need to catch up on the boys. Season three. He's very good in it. So Randy, what's this show and should we watch it? So this is from Stephen Leviton, who is responsible for modern family. And, you know, most people who make, most creators, like they eventually find themselves making some creation about their process and that sort of thing, about what goes on behind the scenes. And that's what this is. This is, like I say, a bunch of people who were on. on a fictional, non-existing in the real world sitcom. And those people are played by Kagan, Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville, Judy Greer, was who you were hearing in there. She's incredible. She's so freaking funny.

And then the kid, 20 years ago, was, you know, Callum Worthy, and he's now, I don't know, 30, something like that. He's around 30. and so like this reunion show that they're trying to do which is actually supposed to be made by the daughter of Paul Reiser but Paul Reiser swoops in

and smashes her into the wall the the show is it's really hard to explain what in the world the show within a show is it's you know an update right and everybody's got their own

ideas about what it's supposed to be it is this is a wickedly funny uh 23 minute sitcom and i just man i so hope that it it persists like this is exactly what like if you've ever thought about kegan michael key or johnny knoxville thought they should be in a show this is it this is what they should always be in i've heard and it does it have the feel of modern family or does it feel not really it actually feels more to me like something like only murders or i because it's so it's so hard are like one of the first things you see in the first episode is uh judy greer topless oh geez like just like it is you know you know what i'm saying and like modern family i'm watching it right now brian's long wanted need of seeing judy group naked finally going to come true it's great modern family

was always a network, you know, television show. It was always supposed to, like, it was pretty edgy, right? At times and in ways. And I'm always stymied when people, you know, who watch a lot of TV, never watched modern family. I don't know. Maybe because the word families in the name. I don't know.

But, you know, like, it's one of the greatest of all time. But it was, you know, it was a network show. And this is like, like Steve Levitton was like, you know, know, we did a lot of cursing on set. Let's make a show about that, you know? No, it sounds good. They've been promoing it like crazy over on Hulu. I see it every time I log in there.

So they apparently, you know, want to see it succeed. You can always tell when a streaming service is super into making sure something succeed. So it seems like they want this one to do well. And I'm all, by the way, I'm all about old Paul Riser right now. He's great in everything I've seen him in lately. And I don't know what's going on there, but make him a mob boss before he dies. or something do something cool like that we have we have a lot of recent openings from mob bosses so yeah for sure yeah get it in there he's amazing johnny knoxville is amazing um i'm uh oh i'm hold on i'm forgetting

the name of the woman who is the lead of the show rachel bloom oh cool yeah rachel my so-called or my fake ex-boyfriend or whatever it's called crazy ex-girlfriend crazy ex-girlfriend that's the one. As this, as a so-called boyfriend. The show starts and you think it's about her. Like it's entirely only about her because she's the writer who's pitched this idea to reboot this thing. And she's going to be the showrunner and so forth.

And then her dad, Paul Reiser, who was the showrunner originally comes along. But at first it's like, man, this is a Rachel Bloom show. This is great. And it's like she's in a slightly different. show than everybody else uh and i and i mean the overall show the show reboot she is she is coming at it from such a different angle than everyone else and that's just uh that's just entertaining as hell like and i have a really high bar right for success like i i am so frustrated that like fresh off the boat uh is no longer on the air that thing had like five seasons it was successful

by anybody's measure but not mine i would like i would like there to be a hell of a lot more fresh off the boat or I think Last Man on Earth is a better example of a killer show so good nobody's watching this what is wrong with you people please you know so let's let's

let's see reboot like watch reboot and and make it have success probably has a better chance here than it would have on you know network television or Fox or yeah for sure or whatever so yeah I have high hopes for it it sounds great I will definitely be putting this one on the list

Nicole, let's dive into this clip. You sent me here. Anything you would like to say before I hit play? I couldn't find like a good clip. So I gave you the trailer. It's a little all over the place. But I feel like I say this a lot. I can't believe I missed this.

It came out in 2019. Totally missed it. It's a series and I'm almost done with it. I haven't binged a series in a while. Oh, good. You must have liked it. All right. Let's play a bit of this,

this trailer see what we get here. Whoops, I've got to turn the volume on. Here we go. Paul Ratt just killed a fly. You're welcome. Okay, so your heart broke. The path of life brings us many troubles. You sit around.

Pain. It needs to talk. Sadness. Humiliation. How happy spa will rebuild your DNA. better than ever a better you the best you can be that's what I want

how do you feel happy all right what is this this is something familiar this the clone thing this is the clone thing this is a show on Netflix it's only one season I was looking to see if there was a second season

it's never been confirmed or killed so you never know but probably not um paul rudd only signed on for one season it is called living with yourself that's it living with yourself yeah and there are it's dark it's funny it deals with depression um it deals with infertility there's like all these things you know that life can just stay on you right and paul Rudd is trying fix himself

he doesn't know he's getting clongs and the process goes a little off to the side and that's where the hijinks comes from

my memory of this was they all they always said it was just meant to be a single you know miniseries or whatever yeah I love Paul Rudd

I loved him in this I still have two more episodes to go but it's that kind of show where you watch the first episode and there are certain things happening and then they'll show it to you from a different perspective

on the second episode like you get you know we kind of all you know we live as us as the main character in our own story for the most part and a lot of times

you go through life thinking no, yeah, I'm doing good. But maybe what I did affected somebody, and I had no idea. I'm always thinking about that stuff. And this kind of explores that a little bit. I like it, a lot.

I have a big question. So when this came out, Living With Yourself comes out, it was like number one thing on Netflix for a day. And it felt like a lot of people were watching it. And so Samantha and I started it. And we watched maybe three,

episodes or four and it was one of those series where we just didn't have any momentum to keep watching and so like i haven't thought about it in all this time like it was like that kind of like not a let down but it was just like that like i don't know there was something mediocre about it and so i i'm i'm just wondering like does it pick up does it have like a tremendous end um i i think i mean i'm really into it i like it i like I want to know what happens. I'm not spoiling anything. Everybody knows we're dealing with clones here.

And what's the moral? It kind of talks about, okay, now we have these two clones. One should not exist. And like, what's the ethics of that, the morality of that? And he has all the same memories as the first clone, but he's a better version of him. And I like it. I want to see what happens. It's kind of like if they did multiplicity, but did it way better.

Honestly, when I was watching, I was thinking about multiplicity. Yeah. Yeah, you got it. Yeah, you got. You're close. Don Cheetah. And we can't, you can't talk about this show without talking about Ashling Bee and how freaking amazing she is as his wife.

Like, she is a revelation in this. Wow. You sound like red carpet guy today. I've never even heard of this. this lady. Should I look her up? She is, after watching this, both Tina and I had such a crush on Ashling Bee. And she was in a more recent season of Taskmaster, that game show that I ripped off for TMS Vegas. And you, we were just looking forward to every appearance that she'd have on that show, every challenge that she'd, because she's such a kooky nut job that she's awesome.

Oh, I like, I do like her. She's awesome. Yes. And she's Irish, so her name is probably pronounced like Aeschla, B. Yeah. I think it is called Ashling B. Like I think from that taskmaster season, I think we finally learned how to pronounce it. It is. Claire can confirm, but I think it's Ashling. The only part I could give was B, but Ashlyn? A-I-S-L-I-N-G. That's a crazy way to pronounce that. That's amazing. Claire is yelling in the chat room. It's pronounced like Brian said it. You could have stopped with Claire's yelling in the chat room.

Yeah, that is true. That is true. Well, all right. I'll watch this. Netflix, yeah? I love it. I'm loving it. I'm going to probably finish it tonight.

Nice. Okay. I will also return to it. I just completely forgot this thing existed. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's good. And knowing that there's only one season doesn't make you feel like you're in this big commitment.

But it does, I feel like it does pay off in the end. There is a great resolution, and they easily could have done another season. They leave it to where... Did you recommend this, Brian? I think I did, but I can't, I looked and I couldn't find any, any, um, any, um, any... Oh, if you did, it had to have been right way back in 2019 when it came out. Exactly. Yeah, it would have been.

And I think you would have been on the show when I would have recommended it. And I couldn't find it on, in the Twitter. So I don't think, uh, I don't know, but, this is the kind of show that I know, oh, there's still little gems out there that I just for whatever reason missed. There's so much TV out there now and movies. And you can find it by following

really like D-list actors. This one is Zach Cherry for me. He's he was the quiet guy in severance of the four of the four main people. He was the more quiet guy, the one who wanted to play by the rules.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's in living with yourself. yes yeah that's cool man i love severance severance new season sooner than later is it next spring or something when are we getting that damn show better more severance better love it so much so good all right uh here is your final dose of uh nightmarish watching pleasures okay um i watched something as i was incredibly uh curious about it it was getting great reviews lots of controversy and high marks to its lead actor but

also a lot of controversy. So I will play it and then we'll talk about it. I'm not eating that. Why? You're a vegetarian? No, I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm not eating a sandwich that my neighbor made when his apartment been smelling like a dead raccoon's ass stinking up my house since the day he moved in. Okay. Fine. try to do a nice thing you know

you're just like my mom all right this is Dommer Monster the Jeffrey Dahmer story it is um okay so let me back up a little bit this is Ryan Murphy's new new joint it's only it's meant to be a single

you know arc season they're not there's no multiple seasons to this or anything. So a mini-series, I guess. Jeffrey Dover goes through like seven seasons. Oh, my gosh, dude. He returns from the dead. That would be terrible. I mean, honestly, I was getting to the point toward the end where I was like, I'm really

glad I'm ending this because I don't want to think about this guy anymore. Part of that is because he is so incredibly well played by Evan Peters. Yeah, Quicksilver. Yeah. So Quicksilver, you got your MCU in here, which is kind of cool. That's right. You got your, I mean, it's Ryan Murphy. who did all the American Horror Story stuff

and Evan Peters is a regular in all of his stuff. That's where he got his big start really is that's first season. He's awesome and I really liked him in like Mayor of East Town and some other stuff since then but yeah he's chillingly good in this and really becomes

Dahmer. He looks like and he sounds like him. He's creepy as hell. The whole thing is filmed through the lens of the 70s and 80s but the wood panel gross carpet version of those two decades, if I have any other way to put it.

I don't want to... Molly Ringwald is in this? Yeah, she plays his stepmom. She's amazing in this. She's so good. Wow. Totally great. Can't say enough about Molly Ringwald

as Sherry Dahmer. The real show stealer, though, in my opinion, is Richard Jenkins. He plays his dad. And Richard Jenkins is never bad in anything. That's the rule. He's just amazing in all things.

Even crappy movies, he stands out, and he's rarely in a crappy movie he's just an amazing actor and he plays Lionel Dahmer and they played things pretty dang close to the way stuff

went they don't veer off into like what if land very much I have some questions about the final episode in terms of some of that but and actually my only complaint is the last two episodes a little bit weird yeah he's the dad yeah the dad that kept guiding Peter Krause

yeah he's in everything he's in the fish getting it on with the lady movie. What's that called? The fish down on with the lady. It's shape of water. He's always in. He's in nightmare alley. He's in all those like del Toro movies.

But he's, you know, even small stuff like stepbrothers. He was a psychiatrist in that. Anyway, you know Richard Jenkins because he's great. And he's amazing in this. Cannot say enough about his performance. He was one of the most

interesting portrayals I've seen in TV in a long time. this is not an easy watch it is really heartbreaking they spend a lot of time talking and showing and discussing things from the victim and victims families point of view which i think is a good thing it's impossible though for the movie not to be criticized for i wouldn't say um what's the word they they don't they don't sensational is it yeah i don't think it's sensationalism in the in the usual bad way like it's still sensationalistic to even make the thing right in some way

You can define it as that. But I feel like they went as hard as they could on making him just one of the most horrible, distasteful, freaking things you've ever seen. Like he's, there's nothing about this that made me go, oh, Jeffrey Dahmer, what a, what a cool dude. What a sympathetic character. Yeah, not at all. If anything, for the first time ever, I felt like I kind of got to know who these victims were because we just didn't, you know, the trial didn't spend much time on it. The sort of zeitgeist at the time didn't spend much time on it. We're talking late 80s, early 90s here.

and um you know the the well it also shines light on his privilege oh big time big time and like when he you know when he would he'd get apartments in in low income areas where it was mostly uh you know black and brown residents and he absolutely uh you know was doing that he was and the movie and the show's not of not afraid to like call that out and and really point out like these cops really effed up they returned one of the victims, a 14-year-old kid to his death. I can't watch this, by the way. It's heinous. I can't either.

And when it blew up all over the Internet a couple days ago, my very first thought was, oh, Scott's going to recommend that. Yeah, I like, look, I'm a fan of true crime. I admit it. This stuff fascinates me. I find it interesting. I find it horrible as well. And I realize that this is not going to be for everybody.

This feels like it's going to be for people who are curious about the case or true crime followers in general. Or maybe it's for people just want to see insane performances by everyone. They're all really, really good in this. I think it falls apart a little bit in the last couple episodes because it just feels, I don't know,

the pacing's weird. If it's sensationalistic, those are the two episodes where it is. But I will say there's one episode that just I found heartbreaking which was this one called Silenced. And it was about one of his victims who was deaf, black, and gay.

and in the late 80s, early 90s, the AIDS era, all that stuff. That was a very difficult position to have in life. And just the nicest guy with the coolest ideas and plans, he was going to school up in Madison, was visiting his mom in Milwaukee when he met Dahmer at some bar. And they tell almost that entire episode via what it sounds like as a deaf person the entire time. So there's hardly any dialogue.

a little bits here and there but any scene he's in everything's muffled down to like complete and almost utter silence and then sign language and subtitles and stuff like that and it was really affecting

like I walked away from that one just feeling so bad for those people and their family and I think that's why I like this a little more than the usual fair because it it didn't just say ooh grizzly murders horrible thing awful man

it was like here's the real impact artistic merit Yeah, I would say that, but also it's like, here are real people impacted by real events. And it's- I would cry too much watching this. I'm such an impact. It was bad. So I just want to ask everybody here, like, the big complaint that blew this thing up recently was the surviving families of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims all getting interviewed suddenly and being like, we didn't know about this. We weren't consulted.

They're opening old wounds and giving us absolutely. nothing and it just got me thinking like has there ever been a case where people in Hollywood capitalized on someone's suffering and tried to help them through the process I can't think of I'm guessing it's rare if it exists at all um which is a real bummer because to me it reminds me of well it's like anything when you're profiting off somebody else's loss or off somebody else's work or whatever it is you know there's some of that going on here so this is a sticky this is a sticky wicket this entire thing because on the one hand i think it's like really enlightening and and faithful to the victims but in a real world sense you know they didn't

do any reach out they didn't even know this was coming uh they didn't know it was being made like that feels weird like there's a lot of there's a lot of those questions and i'm i think that those are all valid points of view i had those points of view throughout the watching of the of the the freaking thing um but i will say if evan peters isn't at least nominated for an emmy it's it'll be weird because i've this acting is amazing he he is a really truly amazing in this and by that i mean horrifyingly like it's just dude geoffrey domer was effed that guy was effed up beyond all recognition and i and i thought it was i thought it was deftly handled in that regard but I've got hangups about other parts of it and even existing at all and how can you make

something not be sensationalistic when the entire point of it is to be, whoa, look at this. That's sensational, right? That's sensationalism. So I don't know how you get around it. Every show about anybody like this, any serial killers or anybody who did terrible things, they all get a show, they all get a series, they'll get a movie, they get a biography. Like, we feed this machine because people want to hear about it. and I'm all sorts of torn up about that.

I will say the most shocking, hard scenes actually had nothing to do with Dahmer and had everything to do with the one episode where they roped Oh, what's his name? The clown killer, the guy that dressed like a clown that killed all those guys. John Wayne Gacy. John Wayne Gacy.

Because his case and his execution happened right around the time that Dahmer was sent to prison. Right. And they do some cross-laying of those two stories. And I don't know who played gasey in this, but my freaking gosh, that scene just about murdered

me. It was so, it was horrifying. So they're really laying into it and they did, I think, a good job of doing what they tried to do. But again, this is like a recommendal to those who know they're going to want to see this and to everyone else who you're like hesitant. I'm saying, you know, you don't need to. It sounds like if you know the Ryan

Murphy stuff, when he's dealing with real true crime, you're going to get a similar feel. For sure. It's It's weird, though, because, you know, his, his haunted stuff, it's like, yeah, I wouldn't even say it's goofy. It's just more like, here's a bunch of, you know, stuff that isn't real. Ghosts aren't real, but we're going to make it freaky anyway.

And then this is like, no, this guy was real and this shit is freaky. And it's probably not hard for Ryan Murphy to get freaky, you know. So anyway, it's an interesting thing. You should see it. And once again, message to David Fincher, you blew it. Oh, he could have done it. Yeah, he could have done it. You could have made five seasons of Mind Hunter, Mr. Fincher, and you could have sold those later seasons to me.

I would have spent extra money to watch the new Mind Hunter. Well, there's a rumor that season three will now happen. So I hope that's true. I hope it does, because that would be cool. I don't care anymore. Yeah, you're out, you're out. Oh, I got, I need some Bill Tange closure. Yeah, for sure.

I need, what's going to happen with the BTK killer? Yeah. Been three years. It's too long. Has it been three? That can't be right. Yeah, three years since the latest season. Boo.

Boo. I love Mind Hunter. All right. Anyway, available now on Netflix. You can't miss it. It's number one in the U.S. and there must be a reason. And I enjoyed it.

I think Molly Ringwald punching way above her weight in this. And that surprised me a lot. She's very good. Not that she ever thought she was bad. I just, I don't know. I just didn't expect it. Not that she's lightweight.

Yeah, I mean, because what is she in lately? She's, I guess, the Jughead show. What's it called? Oh, right. Riverdale. Riverdale. Yeah, that they brought everybody, all the teen, Beverly Hills 9-0, and John Hughes people.

Yeah, they all ended up in that, and she's good in that. But I just thought, well, that's about the extent of it. She was really, and watching her with Richard Jenkins was an impressive pair. So, I have a dream that Molly Ringwald will make a movie in the next few years called 60 Candles. I just think it would be so interesting. 60. Oh, don't give people any ideas. I don't know.

I kind of like. this idea. I'd watch this. What would it be like John Hughes is just like no, it is grave. Yeah, maybe he'd go for it. I don't know. I'm open to these weird ideas. I think it'd be fine. John Hughes didn't believe in the sequels, did he? Like, I think that was his whole, his whole.

Well, he made, I mean, he wrote Christmas Vacation, that's a sequel. Yeah, okay, I mean, wrote it, but. He made, uh, uh, uh, Home Alone movies. What else? Did he do the second Home Alone though? No, he actually directed the second one, but he Wrote the first one.

The first one was Christopher Columbus. Okay. All right. I remember seeing an interview where he says he doesn't like sequels, but I guess he broke his... Then he did trains, planes, automobiles, and hoverboards. That was... Right, too. The train anding.

Yeah, the training. It was fantastic. Anyway, those are your recommendals for the day. They're going to show up on quicktm.l. Or wherever you follow Randy Deluxe or Nicole Spag on their social accounts. It was great having you guys on today. Nicole, I'm glad your car's okay. You too.

And whatever rock and roll's going on back there, I like that even more. That's awesome. Yeah, that's fine. What's that? I hear music. Yeah, it sounds like you're off in the room. I'm sorry. I'm trying to adjust working in the firehouse, and it's so echoy, and it's, yeah, I'm still trying to.

Is Mark over there rocking out to some docket? Yeah, he's not. What's he playing? Usually plays like Super Mario Brothers music. Really? I love that. That's great. Yeah, that's what it is.

That is awesome. It's all video game music. You guys just need to make a foam cave and you'll be good. You got this covered. Well, there you have it. Thank you both for being here. It's good to see you. We'll talk to you next time here on Recommendals.

I'm once again requesting the covermaster provide a bit of soundtrack to a mementous occasion in me and my girlfriend's life.

We close on our first house on September 21st. I know that was a week ago today, but there have been a lot of stuff, a lot of requests in between now and then. It's been a long road and a lot of TMS and core shows between the idea and the reality. So any time around the closed date would be great. Thanks, and hope you all have a great one signed, Jonathan. Oh, Jonathan, good luck, man. The housing market's weird right now, but I bet you've got it. For sure.

And this is one where he basically gave me carte blanche to pick a song for them. This is great because it is brand new. Somebody, well, brand new to me, this actually came out four years ago, 2018. I had not heard it until now until this week and said, oh, this would be a great, a perfect song for this. Jaguar Dreams released this cover of Fleetwood Max. dreams back in 2018. Somebody else told me about it. I loved it and I put it in the list
