Dumb bear, son of a bitch. Only my homeboys call me Rome, pig. This is the morning stream. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to TMS.

It's Monday, October 3rd, 2022. I'm Scott, and he's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hi, Scott. Hello. I got a question. I have to ask you because it popped into my head this morning, and I haven't been able to shake it. Okay. Ask your question. This is going to be a little bit weird, everybody. Ask the fucking question. Don't feel bad or don't feel too nervous about it, but it is a little bit of a weird question.

Here you go. If you were a conjoined twin, right? Yeah. Which way would you prefer it? Would you prefer the two heads on the same body or one head or, you know, heads stuck together, two body, two full bodies? Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay. So basically you're asking, would I prefer one head, two bodies or one body, two heads?

Yeah, basically. For sure, two heads. For sure, two heads. For sure, two heads. two heads. Okay. So that way, it's not like one of you needs to, I don't know, take a dump and the other one asks to just sit there having a bad time. If you got to go, you both got to go at the same time. Exactly. Exactly. All right. That's my answer. That's funny that you,

that is the first, the problem that you go to immediately with having one head and two bodies is, oh my God, one of us has to poop. But the other one doesn't. But there's still the there are bigger questions like let's say if you have two distinct personalities in each head but one body that means that those two people are probably going to have different likes tastes whatever they're going to want to marry different people as for example relationships with different human beings yeah so now if they do that that's a problem because let's just I don't want to get too indelicate here but let's just say you know you're in a we'll even keep it we'll keep it PG you're in the back you're in the car

at the drive-in movie and the girl that or sorry the head that is out with the girl why can't why can't i be out with two girls then um i could be in the middle of the back seat and there could be a woman on each side of me and i could be making out with two women at once no you could that's right you could yeah okay now let's let's let's turn your fantasy into my fantasy really quick scott so that's not bad but there's also complications let's say you need to you get married let's say you marry both girls sure and you even do the wedding on the same day it's all great head off to the honeymoon how we handle them that those logistics what's going on there you know and off to the honeymoon is it just

a bunch of uh you know geez are we are you just like saying all right well we were we were nice and delicate before now we have to I just saying like you got two of them now and you got two people and it's just I don't know it sounds complicated to me uh well Well, let's... And I don't mean the physical act. I mean, like, the relationships of it. A crowbar has two ends, two functional ends to it. No, wait, wait, wait.

That doesn't work. Because you got... Have you... Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay. Brian did go indelicate. I'm just, I'm saying, like, relationship-wise, though. I think I was as euphemistic as possible.

I'm just saying, like, if you love the one girl and the other, head loves the other girl and i don't know if that's how it works i mean i meant i know that what cheng and eng married two women didn't they like they um did they i think so but is everybody all in on the gig like they have to be i mean you this is one of those things you can't like say you can't hide and say reveal on the third date right it's like something the the woman immediately knows what they're getting into yeah yeah yeah i obviously that's true but i'm just trying to figure out, like, from a logistic standpoint, who, like, if you're fighting with one wife.

Oh, yeah, Chang and Eng married sisters. Oh, my gosh. It's worse then. Or it's at least weirder. Not saying worse. Whatever. Everybody do your own thing. It's just probably not happening simultaneously, like any messing around, right?

Yeah, but it is, it is whether it isn't or isn't, right? Like, as if, let's say, let's say it's purely like, hey, we're going to go. have a little fun together me and my wife says the right head yeah and so the right head which includes the left head they go off and have their fun with wife number one does left head just kind of read a comic book off to the side you know stare at the television not really interested in this even though it's it's it's that that dude has the shares the wiener and everything else or is it like what is that it's just such a different thing i'm done i don't know why i want to know I just want to know.

Like, why? I think, yeah, I mean, I, I guess I don't know. You do whatever, whatever the, the situation calls for and is comfortable to all parties involved, really. You can't just say, okay, well, whenever left head wants to make out with his wife, right head has to make out with his wife, you know, it's, it's basically, and that's, that's, that's what I'm saying is since you can't, since you wouldn't simultaneous all the time. I just think you can't make, you can't put, I don't know, you can't put rules on that until you're actually in that situation to be able to say, here's what works for us. Would one of the heads be annoyed if they didn't like the wife of the other head?

Oh yeah, I think you definitely would. That almost feels like it would be, you know, if there are no rules, this would be the one rule that would break the rule. But, you know, you basically would have to get approval. Yeah, yeah. Both heads would have to give approval for each of the marriages. Yeah, you would have to fully... Literally stuck with that person. Yeah, you are stuck with somebody you may or may not actually like.

I guess if they're sisters. Were they twin sisters in the case of the thing you were talking about? I don't know. They didn't show photos of the Yates sisters that Chang and Ng married, but they... I mean, I assume they were sisters. They both had the last name Yates. Okay. All right.

Well, may they all live forever together. It's been a hell of a week, you guys. I had, of course, the horrible death in the family. Kim had to go to the funeral. She just got back yesterday in the middle of the afternoon. We had a wedding like four days before that. And then a funeral. And now we got a birth in the next 24 hours or so.

Oh, so it's, okay. I saw this in there. I saw it in the show notes. It's a wedding, a funeral, and a birth. And I'm like, oh, so, wow. She had the baby and you, you refrain from any social media about it, but she didn't have it yet. No, she's having labor pains, but they're not regular enough to go in. So we were, we've been on standby kind of mode, just like, okay, let's see how this goes.

She's very, very pregnant. Like if you saw her at a profile, you'd be like, oh my gosh, freaking, I don't know what I'm looking at there. She carries way out in front as well. So it's like a very distended sort of pregnancy. All signs are good. lots of green lights everything's good but now it's just a matter of anywhere between the last couple of days and the next couple of days is the range and if she doesn't have it by today they're inducing her tomorrow okay so go in and for sure for sure by tomorrow night

there will be a scout will be a grandpa twice over yep there'll be a little baby girl uh name phoebe nothing to do with friends and then and then uh you know everything will be great I get that, by the way. For a while, we had to do. Our son's name is Tristan. Nothing to do with Legends of the Fall. Yep, yep. I was actually going to ask you about that.

Maybe I even have asked you about it, but I think I did a long time ago. I actually said when he was like 12. I'm like, hey, Brian, do you name him after the movie thing? Which you had probably at that stage had been asked a billion times. I had, yeah. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if we'd ever talked about here. But no, he was named after Sir Tristan of the Roundtable and the Tristan and he sold

fable from old English fable. a fable, and as well as the Tristan from All Creatures Great and Small, which was my favorite book series as a kid, about a couple of veterinarians in the UK. We just always love that, love that name. It's a great name. Nothing to do with Brad Pitt, you guys. So quit asking, no one asked.

No one asked. As soon as we saw that movie, we're like, oh, damn it. Freaking, Brad Pitt, you bastard. All right, moving on. I guess we have to go with our runner-up name, which is Galahad. Galahad would have been great. Who else is in there? You got your, let's see.

Sir Gawain. Don't call him Gawain. That's terrible. How about, sir, who's the, who's the one? No one's going to be named Gawain. Name a Gawain. Do you know what, Gawain?

Oh, I was you to say, yeah, I don't know. No, nobody's named Gawain. Nobody. Gawain Wade from a different world. There are no Gawain's out there. Who else is there? Galaad, Tristan. Who's the big one?

There's a big one that we're not thinking of here. sir it's a big one and it's a great one oh i don't know it's the one i lance a lot that's the one lance a lot of course geez the one with the one that hooked up with uh gwynnevere geez yeah percival yeah percival is a good good one but then he'd have to be known as percy you don't want that no definitely not that's like boy talk about uh you know oh my name is percival yeah and then that just kind of evolved uh over the years hey percy hello percy hello percy Yeah, Percy Jackson and the soaring stone of the Zeus pole or whatever that movie was called.

And then if he did Lance a lot, you'd go by Lance. That's cool. Sure, sure. Yeah. All right. Well, if you go back in time. Lance would be, see, Lance also, I know a Lance, and he's really cool. Actually, I know a couple of Lances, Lance Anderson, a podcaster who was Verge of the Fringe in Orange County.

Really cool guy and very cool podcaster. Is he still doing that show? still around? I don't think, I mean, he's still around, but I don't think he's, I don't even know if he's doing podcasting where he might be. I'm so out of the listening to podcast area. Yeah, I feel you. Anyway, yeah.

Yeah, I know another Lance who's a big Packer fan, but that's a whole other story. I think if I know any Lances, I know one Lance, guy that sold me my hot tub back in the day, his name was. Lance, the hot tub sales. I'm sure there's some lances in our tadful. There have to be that, you know, that we've met it, Nurtacular or something. Oh, yeah.

If there's not a lance out there listening, I'll eat my, I'll eat my lance, whatever that means. All right. Hey, Brian, I got an email I'd like to share from Ben. Please. This made me laugh. This made me laugh pretty hard. He says that, oh, shit.

You know what? There's a theme for this. Send and receive email. This is what he said. He said, you guys did the ultimate red on airlight the other day. And it's ironic that it was not only a red on air light and it was Bill's segment where the red on air light was born. But I'll read this email and you see what I mean. Bill shared another Lara Kempf video last week. And you guys said you'd never seen her videos before.

Laura Komp made the podcasting rig with the red on air light. Thanks for helping all of us old feel like our brains, we have, sorry, like we have Brian cells to spare. He meant brain. He meant brain. We know what he meant. This show does have Brian Sells despair, especially on Mondays and Wednesdays. Yeah, there's always a few of those extra cells. But here's the deal. You're not wrong. That is the ultimate, how ironic it is, that we couldn't remember that.

But I wouldn't consider it a second red on air light because it's not like we, you know, the right thing would have been like, oh my God, she made a podcasting rig, Lori Camp. Like, you know, basically saying that, again, would be the red on air light. We didn't discuss something that we'd discussed before. We just basically forgot that we'd seen her videos before. Well, I guess that is kind of the red on air light. It's a little close to it, but it's a little different, but the moon isn't fully eclipsing the sun, but it's a partial eclipse. Yeah, it's a partial eclipse. Still don't stare at it, though.

Don't do that. Yeah, it's a partial eclipse of the red on hairlight. Yeah, yeah. That's what it is. That's a great song from the 80s. Anyway, thank you, Ben, for your email. Brian, you went to a concert. How'd it go?

I did. It was excellent. So I went and saw my chemical romance, which the whole time I was joking, like out to dinner with Tina beforehand. I'm saying, oh, my gosh, we're going to go see the chemical romancers or romancing the chemicals or whatever. Nice. Beautiful location, Pepsi or a former Pepsi Center, Ball Arena. It's not called Ball Arena after the Ball Aerospace and Engineering. stuff um they had two opening acts uh taking back sunday was one of them and it was fan they were

fantastic i i was familiar with maybe one or two songs by taking back sunday um those guys put on incredible show and lead singer just as charismatic as gerard way from from mcr the first opening act which i got to say i wasn't too jazzed about was like basically nine inch nails on a chalkboard is what my description they were heavy industrial electronic band called Youth Code people enjoyed them

people you know there were people in the audience who loved them it was just not our jam but hey whatever more for more for everybody else but can I play a little taste of it you sent me in this text you sent me? Yes yes okay here you go everybody just a little bit of it Brian sent this

My favorite part is the silhouettes of people walking in front of your camera That makes it seem like they're leaving You know Like they're getting out of there Yeah Those were arriving If they're going right to left Then they're arriving

Yeah It took his four songs to realize That the lead vocalist was a woman Oh I see I already forgotten you told them me this already, and I already in my head, I'm like, oh, look at that dude. Yeah. Oops.

And one of the things that she did that she did multiple times I never was able to capture it on video was to hark up a luggy, spit it straight up in the air. High, and she'd get it up high. I think she'd, like, jump and spit at the same time. And she'd get up super high, and then she'd come down and she'd catch it in her hand and then keep singing, like, you know, and touching the microphone with luggy hand. And it's like, oh, man. Why? Why? Why are they doing that?

Oh, I don't need that. I don't like that at all. That's the appropriate. That is the appropriate Sally goes along with that. That's so gross, too. But, again, you know, good, good for them. They had a, they got invited to open for my chemical romance. A lot of people enjoyed them. Whatever. Not, not for us.

Just not your bag of cheese there. Exactly. get you. By the way, I like how everybody complains about the audio clip you just played and not the descriptive luggy catching and throwing that Oh yeah, that sound clip from an old film sack movie, which was fake anyway, must

really truly be the grossest thing about this story. Not Brian actually witnessing. Yeah, not this debauchery that Brian saw on stage, not at all. Who does that? Who fits anything anywhere? And then is it part of your ass? Blah! Blah! Yeah, exactly.

But MCR, so my chemical romance. Teen and I were I don't even know if you could say we were casual fans before. We knew Black Parade. We do the song Teenagers and Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na which is the name of one of their songs.

We became big fans of the band and man their stage was amazing. So they had this cool three-dimensional post-apocalyptic like destroyed buildings and stuff in the background and at first we thought oh it's a really cool painted backdrop

and then the lights would head and you realize oh, wow, no, those are three-dimensional buildings in front of a post-apocalyptic landscape painting. It was just so, so cool. That's awesome. Love that. And they dropped it halfway through the first song, which was

Foundations of Decay, which is really, really cool. I've got to say, we're fans now. We're like, oh, yeah, let's listen to some chemical romance, man. It was very, very cool. So they went from somebody else's chemical romance to your chemical romance or in your if you if i were you i would say my chemical romance now well there are now our chemical oh it's our it used to be their chemical romance because everybody

else liked them but now it's our chemical romance we all share the chemical romance all right well i i i'm glad you had a good i like those guys they're good they're good they're good they're good yeah they're good i really you know my my knowledge of their appearance uh shows the of like how out of touch I was a band, like, oh, they didn't come out in band leader uniforms because that was apparently like, you know, four albums ago. Oh, that was a thing. Probably a dozen years ago when Black Parade came out, that was their look. Gotcha.

The crowd was almost cookie cutter. Like there was, it was almost like they handed out black lipstick at the entrance. You had to wear black lipstick. Okay. The colors were black and red by everybody. their outfits a lot of fishnet torn fishnet stockings and um pants with a lot of zippers and stuff on them which you know is really great when you're going through a metal detector at the entrance oh sure yeah you have to explain your pants basically why is there such a delay in getting into the place oh that's why did you pretend in any of these dress codes did you wear any uh fishnet or any black. I wore dark blue jeans and a black buttoned up shirt. I just said, look, I'm already going to look like, you know, somebody's dad chaperoning. That's the risk we run at our age going

to concerts, you guys. We look like someone's dad. And we're, yeah, chaperoning, you know, nobody wants to look like they're chaperoning. It's not cool. It's not a cool look. We did see a bunch of other people who were on the older sites. We're like, oh, yeah, hey, look, that guy's old as old as us. Oh, look, that guy over there is as old as us. So, yeah. the uh yeah we needed to go through a metal detector uh claire uh not our first time seeing emos or goths or whatever but um but it was kind of again you know the mcr my chemical romance is an older band i should call them one of the other we'll say mcc they spread they span a couple of generations for sure in terms of like they span a couple generations and so the audience coming to see them

were were spread all around like the 20s and 30s and probably even some 40s. But it felt like major portions of all three of those groups were all dressed, all dressed emo as opposed to like, all right, the 20s and 30s in their emo outfits, but then the, you know, the 40-year-olds and kind of what I was wearing, the black button up. Sure. We did see one gal wearing a T-shirt. Let's see.

I'm trying to remember the order of things that were written on her T-shirt. I think it said big, uh, uh, uh, the, the word for a woman's breasts. Oh, uh, uh, yes, teats. I assume it was teats. Yeah. Yeah, right. Uh, goth and a Nicole Smith. Oh, that's what her t-shirt said. So that was that an order. Was that an order of importance to that person, do you think? Like one through three top, top being, you know, teets and then. It might be. Yeah. Yeah. That might have been like, you know, an order of importance. Yeah. Sure. That's what it sounds like to me.

Yeah, I was wondering if there was a band, actually, because that would be a great name for a band is Big T. Goth. Could be. Annen Nicole Smith. But no, I'm just looking. There's not one. What does Anna Nicole Smith have to do with any of those people? I have no idea.

No idea whatsoever. Okay. Well, I'm glad you had a good time is the important thing. And who is it, Tony? Anthony gave you tickets. That's awesome. Nice job. Yes, so big thanks to Anthony in the chat room,

who wasn't able to go, bought the tickets for his daughter. They weren't able to go. gave the tickets to us, and we are eternally grateful. Nice. So in 1,000 years, find Brian, and he'll still be grateful. Because of eternity. That's how eternity works. It just keeps going.

It never ends. That's right. Brian is finally ready. We're good. Oh, good. We can add him now? All right. We can add him now.

All right. See, we so deftly delayed that, you know, you couldn't even tell that we were delaying. We were just sort of, you know, riffing. making a show and then done away joins us which will be great i'm really looking forward to this so i'll just push this button and get it started well well well what do we have here it's brian dunaway joining us for the morning half asses a little game we play on mondays and it wouldn't be the same without you hi brian welcome back oh hi scott and brian hello what'd your weekend go like you guys do it for this monday my my weekend yeah at uh

Yeah. It's not a trick question. Was that good, eh? I mean, I know you did film sag with us. That was fun, but other than that. I did. That was the fun part. Then I slept all day, Sunday.

I felt horrible. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Then I got up just in, I got up just in time to, uh, to, uh, how much is too much information? I don't know. Go for it. Uh, did you get a little. We'll let you know when you, when you finally cross that line.

We'll say it's too late. You cross the line. You cross the line. Fantastic. Let's just say there was an intestinal problems. Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better, though.

I don't like that. No weekend should be... I don't either. Yeah, you shouldn't have to do that. That's no fun. Where'd you get it? My stomachal romance is a... Your stomachal romance, exactly.

Did you get some bad food or what happened? There's a stomach bug going around. Oh, I hate those. Yeah. Yeah. Those can eat a turd. I don't like them. They tried to.

Yeah, I'll bet it did. It's got to the opposite. Welcome back, though. It's good to have you here. And we're going to go ahead and get a thing going here. Hey, Brian, Ibit, you're going to have to explain the rules because we don't know what's going on. Oh, okay. I can do that. Welcome to the morning half-asses, a trivia game where I'm going to be giving you two chuckleheads the answers. I'm going to be giving you guys a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct and three that are incorrect.

Depending on how confident you feel with the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. If you get any wrong, you get zero points for that round. You guess one and you get it right. You get a point. If you get two correctly, you get three points. And if he gets all three correctly, you get five points. The player with the most points after three rounds wins of the prize or the rise for their contestant. And I've pulled contestants from members of the Tadpool that aren't able to be here with us live today. Scott, you're going to be playing for Brian Clemens of Gilbert, South Carolina. I hope he's doing okay.

Do you know where Gilbert is? Is it more inland or closer? Where is Gilbert? Yeah, yeah. It's further, yes, because I live all the way, I live closest to Georgia. So pretty much everything to me is probably Almost everything's gonna be Eastern. Yeah, Gilbert's a little more Eastern.

They probably got like most of us a little bit of rain, a little bit of wind. Yeah, okay. Residuals. I hope you're doing all right, Brian. And then Brian, you're gonna be playing for Milo of Monterey, Mexico. Wow, very nice. Monterey. So Milo of Monterey, Monterey Milo is what we call them.

Sure. Back to the day. Sure. All right, if you guys are ready, it looks like you guys are both logged into the game. Let's go ahead and give you your questions. And we're starting with one that was actually submitted by a

listener. And big thanks to Stephen Forster a.k.a. Winmagus in the chat submitted this one. Most... Sorry, Ryan's... Dunnaway's reaction with a gasp is... It's so weird. Yeah, it's really weird. Yeah. Anyway.

Most magic, the gathering sets take place on different planes of the multiverse. Mammama multiverse. Ravnica is a plane that is a giant city and ruled by ten different guilds, each relating to a two-color combination from the game.

Which of these are actual guilds in Ravnika? Okay. Your choices are. I'm not going to know this. Piltover, Celesnaya, Noxas, Is It, Ractos, and Demacia. When you said, is it, I thought you were asking again if it was, is it? Is it? Is it?

Is it not? Yeah. And Winemegas go and correct me on my pronunciations of any of them. Piltover, Celestinaia, Noxas, is it, Ractos, and Demacia. Or Damasia. It would be Demasia.

I know one of these. I guess it's a card game. You can pronounce it any way you want, right? Well, you could. Yeah, you could. I know one of these is 100% not in there because it's from a whole different game, but the rest of these have no idea.

Oh, which one is that one? I'm not going to tell you. I'll tell you after you after you get it wrong. Good Lord. Right. I got into this for a little bit, And I'm trying to see if, I feel like I'm going to get one of these wrong. Yeah, but yeah.

I'll do too. All right. You guys are both locked in. You guys both picked Damacia, which is correct, or DiMasia, Joe Demasia. Yeah. That was really good. Well done. Brian, you were so close.

You had Damassia and Sass Naya, which were both correct. And then for some reason you decided to add. I couldn't decide. Is it? I couldn't decide, is it? It looks familiar, but I'm like, where's it from? Yeah. You would have had it.

also not one, but Noxas. So, Noxas, Selis Nye. Piltover's freaking League of Legends stuff. That doesn't... Oh, really? Yeah, that's a city. Piltover's a city in there. If you go, if you watch

Arcane, they talk about it, it's in the card game they make. What's it called? Legends of Rune Terra. That game has... Hold on a second. Yeah? I selected the wrong ones when I entered this. So... Salis Naya is it and Rambah.

Rectos are correct. Nice. So Scott. Oh, Damasia is not, though. So it doesn't change anything. Wait. Still zero,

but yes. So wait, are all these, I don't get it. What happened? Are all these real? Or I mean, sorry,

these are all the right? No, no. No, so the real answers are Celas Naya, is it, and Ractos.

Oh, gotcha. But Demosia is not. So you both chose Damasia, which is wrong. so it doesn't matter because you both would have chosen one incorrectly there is one that is one what is it though

I don't I can't know anyway you got me man thank you thank you for the correction see that's what happens when I don't use my cards thank you Winn Magis for All right maybe maybe Winnagus can tell you the one you're trying to think of

that there you go Yeah we'll give him time to do that Okay let's get to question number two Shall we? Yeah, we should. You'll like this one a lot better. Pin-related bowling jargon. So when you're bowling, there's phrases that have to do with the pins that are left behind.

Tell me which of these are real and which of these are fake. Really just tell me the real ones. Is it? Bedposts. Charlie Horse. Spare ribs. Wishbone, dime store, or Greek church. Oh, my Lord.

Uh. In related. Uh. Yeah, right? These all sound like right things, right? Yeah. I'm going to go with what, I'm going to go with what bowlers think is funny, so let's see. Bowlers think certain things are funny.

I like that idea. I like that a lot. I've chosen my two. Yep. I've chosen two as well. Okay, you locked in. All right. You both selected Wishbone, and Wishbone is not an answer.

Damn it. Oh, they just... right though bedposts uh dime story but dime story i know is leaving the five and the ten uh bedposts i think is one and one and uh or sorry i know is uh um five six and nine and ten or something like that uh i don't know what greek church is let's see that would be the four six seven nine ten split it's the hardest shot in bowling the uh the greek church why is it called greek church what does that even mean i think because it has so many so many um many um many uh so many points up. I don't understand you at all, bowlers. Bowlers are confusing, man. Weird. Yeah, they are.

All right. Well, we have that one up. Seven and ten are the bedposts, by the way. Five and ten is the Five and Dime is obviously a dime store. So that's what that is. By the way, those other three Charlie Horse spare ribs and wishbone. Those are from operation. Oh, don't touch the funny, boy.

You can be a wishbone is anything, man. May I play? Something you, because something you split. All right, let's get to the last one. Hopefully one of you can get some points on this one. Birds of the Galapagos Islands. Oh, it's no, it's daisy. It should be plural.

All right, good. Okay. No, it isn't. Birds of the Galapagos Islands. We have the brown pelican, the crested monkhawk, the Nerpel booby, muddy egret, swallow tail, gall. The Nerple booby? The Nerpel boobie.

And the lava heron. Okay. I don't freaking know. Right. Three of those are real buds. I'm going all in. All right. Well, you kind of have to.

Yeah, let's go all in on that. I'm sure it's wrong. I don't know. I've even seen documentaries about the Galapagos Islands and I never, I don't retain this stuff. I don't know. Yeah, I'm with Scott. I don't know.

Yeah. It's just sass. It's wrong. oh holy cow all right this is this is uh this is awesome do we guess all the wrong ones you both chose all three incorrected oh my god i knew it the muddy egret the crested munghock and the nirple booby come on purple i chose nerple booby because it seems so not going to be true that it had to be that's why i did that brown pelican swallow-tailed goal and lava lava Matherer. Wow. Okay. So Muddy Egritt was not. But isn't that place like known for like having like an insane amount of birds species or something? Lots of wildlife. Yeah. The Galapagos is like a big. Too bad. That wasn't on the questions.

Crazy ecosystem of wildlife and birds and stuff. All right. So, you know what? We're going to do a little tiebreaker question. Let's do it. I just happen to have one here. Speaking of pelicans, how many cups of water? So I'm going to, let's see.

Yeah, how will this work? We'll ask Scott this one and you're going to go high low. Okay. How many cups of water can an adult pelican hold in its pouch? So cups of water. Wait, a brown pelican or just a normal pelican? Just a pelican. normal pelican.

Is there such a thing? A normal adult pelican. How many cups of water can an adult pelican hold in its pouch? I love that the official mainline pelican, we don't really don't know what we're saying. Okay, so a cup meaning what, 12 ounces, 8 ounces? Do we know? A cup is 8 ounces. Oh, you mean like the actual measurement of it.

You're talking about a standard cup? No, I was just thinking like glasses. I was like one of these, this is a cup, one of these cups? one of these cups you know what i mean are you thinking like how many can he are you like how many can carry like at a bar or something no just like a bartender or something i was thinking with a tray or without a tray see this is the problem with the english language we have cup as a measurement and cup as an item and i was thinking item all right um yeah let's go think measurements and think water like how many why would you how many coffee cups would you why would you

no how many feet see how many how many feet no human feet how many feet how many human feet how many human feet could you fit in a pelican? Yeah, but at least that one's different enough. A cup can hold water and it can also be a measurement of a cup, right? It's not that crazy. All right. How many feet across?

Yeah. A horrible example. All right, cups. We're going to go with the measurement being cups. We're going to go 12 cups. 12 cups. That is incorrect. Brian is the actual answer higher or lower

than 12 cups of water in a in a pelican average adult pelicans pouch. So their pouch is very stretchy and elastic. So I'm going to say much higher. I'm going to think, you know, they probably can hold gallons probably. Yeah, gallons. So I'm going to say much higher. The answer is indeed higher.

It is 48, four times the number, Scott said. So 48 cups of water. After they go fishing, pelicans have to dump four. 24 pounds of water before they can fly because they... I was that to say, yeah, they wouldn't be able to fly with it. They could certainly spit in their mouth. Yeah, that's gross. Brian Dunaway is our winner, which means that Brian Clemens,

I'm sorry, Milo of Monterey, Mexico is getting a copy of WWE 2K Battlegrounds and the DLC, the Ultimate Brawlers Pass, but don't worry. Brian Clemens, you're going way... Not going way empty-handed. You're coming away with Siv City Rome, which to non-risling fans might be looked at as the better game. Yeah, you might. I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

I suppose the 2K Battlegrounds games highly regarded. I think you're going to do fine. And then I haven't played Siv City Rome, so I can't speak to it. But I'm sure you got a good game, too. Yeah, both games great. Yeah, I know what Fletcher would say. Congratulations. You're a winner. He'd say you're both winners, and I agree.

Congratulations are well done. Hey, Brian, how many cups does it take to make a play retrograde? episode tomorrow do you think oh my god well we got to put track we got to put the uh the the the the balls in there so yeah we're doing balls what am i think is that right yeah no look hey we're doing this thing the ball we're going to the to the to the old days of the arcade when track balls were awesome think missile command think milipede centipede uh all that stuff marble marble madness yeah crystal castles yeah marble madness my oh you got you're named all of them i know that's it there's the whole show we don't need to do it

anymore. Yeah, deal. It's all done. Yep, all done. Except everybody wants me to do golden tea and I can't figure out where the crap that thing is. Golden tea is, uh, you see those all the time in like bars and stuff, don't you? It's like a bar machine or something. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, it was a, it was a weird era. And it was also, I have some very specific old arcade stories related to my dad's arcades that dealt with track balls. So we're going to have a little bit of old, a little bit of a new and some thinking about why you don't see it so much today. Did you rub your junk on it like, uh, oh yeah, everything like American pie?

Look, as your dad, like, catch you, rubbing your junk on it? When you're in junior high, you rub your junk on everything. That's the rule. That's what I was told. What's it like when I rub it on this? How about this? How about this trackball? How about millipede?

How about centipede? How about Crystal Cassels? Anyway, that'll be tomorrow. Check us out, 330-9-time. I'm dehydrated. Oh, well, you should drink. So go drink something. Why don't you drink something?

Shouldn't you? If only his section came after Stephen Schleckers, we'd be able to tell them what to do to solve that problem. That's true. Well, I hope you don't have to rush to any poo-poo stations today and have a great day. Poo-poo stations. I didn't know he wasn't feeling well. It makes me sad. I didn't know that either, yeah.

Supposed to let us know, man. Oh, Atari football. Forgot about that one. That's cool. Atari football had it? Was that an arcade? That was an arcade. It was a flat, like basically it wasn't a machine.

It was a two-player flat game, and you move the track ball to move your dudes around to, it was black and white, and it was, it really was X's and O's, wasn't it, I think? I don't know. I don't remember this. I kind of want to, now I want to look, well, that's what we're going to do. All our research is still happening, so we're going to find out all the old stuff. Yeah, plenty of time for research. Yeah, and we'll play

some of that. I don't have a good trackball here to emulate it, but he does. He's got that Atari limited edition trackball thing they put out last year, and I wish I could get one, but. Did I tell you, I picked up the couch cade? Oh, no, you didn't tell me. This is the Atari Couchcade. It is a

It looks like a TV tray, basically, and it's got buttons, and it's got a trackball, and it's got a knob, like a Tempest-style knob. But no joystick. And it's got built-in asteroids, asteroids, deluxe, tempest, missile command, centipede, millipede, lunar lander, and gyrus. I think just those eight. No asteroids in there? That was the first one I said was asteroids, and Asteroids Deluxe. I love both of those games. So good.

Yeah. Which I'd forgotten you play with buttons as opposed to, well, I hadn't forgotten because I have one right back here. But before I got that one back there, I'd forgotten that Asteroids wasn't a knob or a left-and-right joystick game. Knob would be perfect, right? No, a knob would be pretty good except, no, actually a knob would have been probably preferable, actually. I think so for Asteroids. An asteroids. Asteroids, not deluxe, but the one that came after that, asteroids, oh, shoot, me.

And we tried to play it in Vegas for the contest and it was broken. One of the knobs was broken. Oh, right. But that had a knob. That had a tempest knob on it. It did have a knob. Was that Blasteroids? Blast.

I think that was Blasteroids. Gosh, dang it. I don't remember the name. Which was not an Atari one, but it was. We tried to play it. The knob was busted, but not only that, it has a mechanic where. I take it back. It was Atari, and it was the third official sequel to

of the third official sequel. So what was the second official sequel? Deluxe, right? That would be the first official sequel. Oh, I see what you mean. But third in a series versus sequel. So I don't know. What would be the first official sequel?

Let's see. Let's find out here. Do do, do, do, do, sequels, sequels, sequels. Here we go. Asteroids deluxe. They say space duel, which was released in arcades in 1980. who replaces the rocks with colorful geometric shapes

and adds cooperative two-player gameplay. I did not know that that was an official sequel to... I don't think it is. That seems like a weird claim. That's a very different game. It is a weird claim, isn't it? It's nothing like asteroids. No.

Just the fact that you turn your ship using buttons. I guess you could make the argument that it's in the same universe or something dumb like that, but it's not... I don't think that counts. Anyway, lots of balls tomorrow. The couch cade, kind of fun, a little bit, tiny little bit of lag, so it's obviously wireless. You've got a thing that plugs into your TV with an HDMI port, and then this thing that's wireless on the couch.

I think because I've got the receiver behind the TV, it might be interfering, so I'm going to try pulling it out and seeing if I get better reception. But the games look great. I'll bet they do. I saw this somewhere and wanted to grab it, and I don't remember why I didn't. I got it on special like half price through 40 boxes I think is the website

What's the And is this this isn't a one This isn't one up right This is something else This is Atari It's an one up It makes it Yeah

I need to get that They've got a second one That does have a joystick And I care of more What that What that one has But it's like

Another couch Cade style thing And it's got Fighting games on it maybe. I can't remember. Probably old fighting games, huh? Yeah, I think so. It's always something new coming out of there.

Those guys are always making something cool. All right. Let's get to this. We've got some news today. It's our news program begins right here. So let me play some news. It's time for the news and it's brought to you by. Brought to you by sleeping on He-Man. All right.

Here's the story. See this little guy, this little He-Man figure? Yeah, yeah. So for some reason, so Carter got me, these at a dollar store. She keeps picking them up. So I've got Skeletor and Man of Arms here. And then He-Man. I'm really hoping to get like two men and a fisto and all those idiots.

Anyway, we'll see. But anyway, He-Man somehow ended up in my bed. And I didn't know. I don't even remember taking it up there. But I fell asleep on it. I woke up this morning with He-Man's, kind of like the Indiana Jones guy, I burned in his hand with the symbol thing that you had the other day, the round thing. Yes, right, like a little H-Man indentation.

Yep, I had a little H-Man in there. Just his whole body going in my back, and it actually kind of hurts still. There's like a little bit of a bruisy thing going on. So don't sleep on H-Man, is what I'm saying. Do you think the dog brought it to your bed or something? I have no idea how it got up there. I really don't know. I didn't take it up there.

I thought these were on my desk the whole time. I don't know. But now they've been reunited. Skeletor's stoked to have his old nemesis back. We're good. Ah, welcome back, E-Man. Why do you smell like body sweat? Where do you smell like a man's back? Let's get to this story here about John Paul College. This is a college. A college, an Australian college.

Indeed. A student was banned there. After two Beatles, I believe. I think that's how they got its name. The two Beatles they like the most. Sorry, John and Ringo, you're out. George. Or George, rather. uh hello sorry there's no hello in this says john paul college i was reading it like an email you're reading of all news stories being able to hello hello john paul college

hello uh student got banned from school grounds because of an unsuit mullet haircut oh look at this won't someone please think of the children let me pull this up so people can see oh that's uh yeah okay so it's really not even it's not the mullet that we that shouldn't be called a mullet because nothing in the front. Yeah, this is all party in the back. Like usually it's business in the front, party in the rear. This is everything in the rear and shaved

three quarters of his head is shaved except for just the back where the mullet. Yeah, I don't even know. This is more like a warrior headpiece looking, I don't know I don't even know how to describe it. Free Rangers, is that what it's called, a skullet and matuba? There's such a thing. That would totally make sense.

A skullet. Yeah, that would totally make sense. I get those at I hop. They're great. I love the skull. The skeleton scramble please. That sounds really good, actually. That comes in a skullet. Oh, I love it. Great.

Just don't touch it because the skeleton's going to be really hot. It's going to be really hot. Thanks, lady. Let's see here. It says, oh, they have these rules about haircuts. They denied his son entry to the school for the past three weeks because of his hairstyle. It is a mullet with a shaved head. It was deemed unsuitable under college uniform and personal appearance expectations policy.

Expectations is funny. Word. We have certain expectations here. Personal parents' expectations policy. You don't match our expectations. Policy says shaved hair, fads, and extreme haircuts are unsuitable for school. Oh. Yeah.

Mrs. Wilson said her son's hairstyle was a result of post-football celebrations, which he and his friends gave each other silly haircuts, which he described as good, clean, fun. Says, I do not believe... Some people want to change the world with silly haircuts. Yep. there you go what's wrong with that

they're stopping they're the man stopping them here like to know by the way one person said that it's it's the friend is a skinhead the back is a hippie so I say it should be called the skippy I like the skippy your haircuts a skippy yep you can't be here with your skippy take your skippy home and shave it yeah so I know we're not immune to this over here BYU famous for sending kids home for having mustaches and beard and stuff they have like really strict stuff on the grooming side of things Apparently so. Jeez.

Really annoying to me at BYU. Anyway, Jurassic World Director, dropped a bombshell. Okay. All right. You'd think, you know, he's made a couple of these movies, made a lot of money. Who is that director? That dude is, his name's right here. Where's his name?

Colin Trevereiro. Trevor, that's the guy. All right, sure. Jurassic World Director said the series should have probably ended after Spielberg's original, saying it's an inherently unfranchisable franchise. it's like you made the movies dude yeah i mean it kind of is right it's like ah we have finally cleared this island of all of its dinosaurs thank goodness oh no we've got it's like bedbugs basically it is yeah they just keep coming back you can't avoid it

you know it's what's it's it's dr grant's fault he said life finds a way or whatever whoever said it right jeff goldblum maybe i don't know who said it yeah and when they said that that was this minute all the filmmakers went oh life does find a way to make more of these for other movies and sequels. Specifically, he says this to, by the way, it was talking to, I can't find the name of the, Empire Magazine. Okay.

He says none of the sequels should have probably been made. In Trevor's own words, the Jurassic Park franchise probably should have started and ended with Spielberg in the 1993 original. I specifically did things different than the other films in order to change the DNA of the franchise. He said about his Jurassic World Dominion film. The previous five films are plots about dinosaurs.

This one is about the characters in a world where they coexist with dinosaurs. Yeah, but you said it's fine. It's still... Yeah. I mean, it's all six movies feature characters that coexist in a world with dinosaurs. Yeah. But I see what he's saying. Like the beginning, basically at the beginning of Dominion, spoiler alert, but it's really not.

The movie starts with, yep, dinosaurs are in our world. world we just kind of have to live with them and every once in a while they eat people and oh well i didn't see it yet should i or should i not bother oh you should see it don't spend money don't spend money to see it but see it on the yeah see it when it's uh on a streaming service you're already paying for yeah uh bruce willis back in the news again uh there was some recent stuff that we didn't get to because we haven't had a show uh about his likeness being licensed off to be used in future films with his permission. So basically, digital, deep fake recreations of Bruce Willis were approved and he was going

to get paid for that. A little bit like Darth Vader, or James Earl Jones, signing off the rise to the Vader voice to both Lucas Arts and then this voice company. Vader voice. Vader voice. You know, you've got to do the Vader voice. Well, Bruce Willis is now denying he sold the rights to his face. His agent anyway has denied reports of the film stars sold the rights to his face last

week it was widely reported that Willis and the first deal of its kind it sold his face to a deep fake company called deep cake is it really deep cake that's the name is it deep cake? Yeah deep cake oh I hate that is it really cake or not

thing is that why they're doing it is that why they named it that it could be oh I hope not we live in an air where people make worse though isn't it knowing that it's deep They make whole companies around memes now. I don't like it.

Yeah. Anyway, it says the actor has no partnership or agreement with the company. Representative from Deepcake said only Willis has the rights to his face. So why did this happen then? I don't know. Yeah. I mean, does Deepcake... Well, a representative said only Willis has rights to his face.

So it's a nothing burger, right? Yeah, it's a nothing burger. Basically, Deepcake says, We don't have the rights to his face. Bruce Willis says, I didn't give him the rights to my face. So, so basically we're just saying, oh, yeah, that rumor about him selling his face is fake news. So this is a story about the telegraph making a story up. That's what this is.

Yeah, right. And Bruce Willis is like when they report somebody died. It's like, oh, did you hear George Lucas died in a horrible accident? And people check into it. And they're like, no, he's alive and well living on the ranch. He's fine. I'm okay, guys. I didn't die in anything.

I'm here on the ranch, making, you know, helping with that Willow remake. It's all good over here on the ranch. That said, do you think... That's said. That said. My impression of George Lucas aside, yes, go ahead.

Continue. Well, I just want to get to this question. That said, do you think that actors should sell the rights to their faces? Like, let's say we know an actor is... is, you know, going to die soon, right? They're like, oh, yeah, I'm retiring. We'll just say retiring. Let's go a little bit less morbid.

I'm retiring, but I'm going to sell my likeness to a deep fake company or to Hollywood, basically, so that they can continue to use my likeness in movies. How do you feel about that? I think it's okay if the actor does sign off on it. yeah and if i were them i would make sure that that contract includes residuals for my estate slash family whatever for sure yes um but if they don't agree to it then no they shouldn't be able to so like when a few years ago when they had freda stair dancing around with a vacuum right right and they didn't involve the family at all i thought that was weird and not cool so definitely not

if anything it's a little bit more up front now where you kind of if we really are heading this direction where this some of this is going to happen and i think it will Um, it's good that they can block in the rights. They need to. If they aren't, they need to. But, but now that I know, now that we know this Bruce Willis thing is fake, I guess, you know what, though, the Jamesville Jones one's real. That story's real. So he's not, it's not his face. It's his voice, but kind of the same principle. Uh, yeah. And I'm guessing Mark Hamill obviously signed off on them using his likeness for the, um, for the 3D modeling that they, that they, you know, the thing they did in, uh, Mandalorian. Yeah. And he, and he mocapped that. So he was, you know, that was. Oh, he was. was involved anyway yeah that was an acting gig so for him he he got what he needed i assume but like jean hackman so jean hackman's retired from acting right would you be happy with a would you be happy with a movie that featured a digitally recreated jean hackman trying to think what they would do it for but if they found

the right reason yeah it's fine yeah i mean i'm impressed by the technology i don't get too precious about it i just think that i do think it needs to be with the approval because there's still at the end of the day, regardless of what you think about Hollywood or rich actors or anything, there's still people. And I think the one thing you should probably have the right to is your own likeness. It just feels like if there's anything you own, it's that. Absolutely. Exactly. So I don't know. It's complicated, I guess. Last bastion of anything that is yours that you can call your own. Yeah. What do I have besides that and my, I don't know, that's it. That's all I really. That's it. Your voice and your likeness.

That's right. Don't take it for free, yo. All right, Brian, we're going to take a break when we come back, Stephen Schleger will join us. We'll do a little major spoilers time. Looking forward to that, but I can't do it without a song, so play one of those. Yeah, can't do it until now. The Ramona Flowers release. They have a brand new single that they've released. It's called Gotta Get Home. They have a new EP set for release on October 28th, so the end of this month, get ready for that.

Remember, remember, remember. Oh, I want to do is study magic. You taste like a burger. I don't like you anymore.

This is the morning stream. Welcome back. Who was that again? Yeah, that is the band, the Ramona Flowers. And a brand new song called Gotta Get Home. It is. In advance of their new EP, it is the title of their EP as well, which is set for release on October 28th. Nice. By the way, that clip I played here.

All I want to do is study magic. That's Dublin's own Christian Nairn, who played Hodor on Game of Thrones. I was wondering who that was. I would have guessed Bo. No, no, no. And it was an interview we did on the instance years ago, a couple years ago. And I don't remember what he was even talking about, but that made me laugh so hard. I want to do to study magic. I got to get him on again. He is from Dublin, Claire, isn't he?

Claire would know. He's from there, I think. I know he lives there now, and he's Irish. Look at all of those question marks after the word Dublin. My goodness. Look at all those caps she used to spell Dublin. Oh, geez. Yeah.

Insane. All right. Hopefully we never see her spell question mark in all caps. No, I don't want that. I don't want that either. Lizburn is what she's saying. Lizburn? Oh.

Well, he probably would. will yell at me when I talked to them in Portugal. That might be. He started streaming a bunch of wow stuff. I don't know what that was about. No, I assume so. Oh, outside Belfast. So actually, Northern Ireland.

Oh, all right. So he was one of the, he lives in the area where they were bombing everybody or whatever. Yeah. What's going on? I don't know. I only, look, I watch dairy girls. I try to keep up.

I don't know. All right. Let's get major spoilers in here. I can spell with a freaking keyboard. Here we go. All right. Let's get him in. Let's do the thing.

Where is it? Stephen Schlecker. Stephen Schlecker. That laugh can mean one thing only, and that is that Stephen Schlecker's joining us for a major spoiler segment here on the show. We do it every Monday. Stephen brings his special brand of, you know, movies and comics and pop culture with him. Stephen, welcome back to the show. How are you?

Hello, Scott. Good morning, Brian. I am the opposite of the other Brian in that I'm overhydrated. Oh, yeah. Okay. All right. I don't know what that means for... I mean, it means I got a pee.

Ah, shoot, this is bad timing. Real quick, in your last segment, you were talking about actors selling their likeness rights. Yeah. I know, I've mentioned this on the show before in many years past, but everybody should check out this movie called The Congress with Robin Wright in it. She plays a fictionalized version of herself. She has a son that has Usher syndrome and she needs money for his treatment. And so she sells her likeness rights. After, this is when she's much younger around the time of Princess Bride.

She sells her likeness rights to a studio and they digitize and scan her. She's no longer allowed to act except for her digital version is. Oh, interesting. And so this takes place 20 years later after her virtual self is super popular. And she has to go back in and renegotiate her contract for her virtual likeness. Oh, weird. That's some black mirror kind of business. Yeah, yeah.

No kidding. Wow. So it's like, it's a Congress. I think it may be based on a comic book. I'm not sure, but definitely the Congress from 2013, I think addresses all these concerns people have been talking about in the last couple of years about likeness rights. Really? Okay.

We should see that. Sounds cool. Yeah, it does. What's that? Isn't there that movie called Simone? Wasn't that kind of some of this? Yeah, but that was a virtual. Yeah, that was fully digital.

Okay. That wasn't a character that was based on somebody who was just fully created. Right. I wonder if that's worth revisiting. I remember at the time it was kind of... Might be. Because what, El Pacino, right? Yeah, I think so.

It was that Carmen Diaz was the... Was it Carmen Diaz? I might have it. I thought it was... Let me look here. Why am I thinking Monica Balucci for that? Maybe not. Jeez, let's see.

Simone, I'm looking at it up right now. Al Pacino, Catherine Keener, and Rachel Roberts. Oh, okay. Maybe that's... Rachel Roberts is this. Rachel Roberts, there she is. Catherine Keener's getting everything, so that's cool. I love her, yeah.

Just don't let her stir your tea. I didn't know why I known a rider and Evan Rachel Wood and Jay Moore were in that. That's pretty cool. Anyway, all right. Let's get to some of the beef here. We got some beef. Not really. Yeah.

Stir the beef. Armor Wars was supposed to be, it was originally a movie. Then it was a TV show, and now it's a movie again. I don't know if it was ever planned for a movie. I think they announced it as a Disney Plus miniseries with Don Cheadle. That's what I couldn't remember. That's what I thought so too, yeah. So why did they change gears here?

Is it just because it's... Don't know. That's the weird thing, right? So either Don Cheadle, who's, you know, an award-winning actor, said, hey, I'm a little bit better than a TV show on your streaming stuff. Make this a movie. Or, my thought might be that maybe they didn't have enough to carry seven episodes of a TV. That's kind of what I was.

yeah that that would be my because man I'd hate to think that Don Cheadle would be would be like that especially now that so many actors are saying no TV's a great place for me to showcase my work I can do you know eight weeks of

appearance instead of just one movie sure my guess is yeah that they have a they have one story that kind of fits really well in a two hour film so if I remember correctly Brian Armour Ward is all about is it is it is it rowdy or tony stark finds out that everybody has stolen or copied the

iron man armor and they're making their own copies of it and it's basically a big IP copyright lawsuit uh arc but instead of going through the court system like you would tony stark goes out and takes down all of the blows up all the technologies right of these competing companies just a comic book or you officially it's a yeah it's a comic series like a crossover event you officially know more about than I do because this was in an era where I was not picking up Iron Man. Yeah, I had to read this a few years ago for the major

Spoilers podcast and some people really really like it. I think it is the most boring, boringest Iron Man story I've ever read. So maybe that's why it's only a movie now because you can't go eight episodes of boring. You can do two hours of exciting. In front of more faces on the theater, you get a worldwide distribution.

Potentially you're going to make more money off of it than you are off of a Disney Plus subscription, which could be good for Don Cheadle, you know, as far as residuals and royalties and up fronts and backends and all that stuff. Yeah, I get the feeling, too, that maybe the audience is a little bit hungry for Iron Man stuff since Tony Stark left us. Well, then you guys should probably check out the brand new Wakanda Forever trailer that dropped this morning. I missed it. Featuring a Riri Williams in her Ironheart costumes. Yeah. I love the trailer. I'm, I don't know

how sold I am on Namor's wings. Yeah, they look really weird, don't they? They really do. It looks like the golden snitch or something flip. It does. It's like to his ankles. You know, I can be, I can buy all right, he can fly. Sure, no problem. I don't need to see those little wings flapping

like crazy holding up the weight of a dude. It was weird looking, right? I mean, they should have blurted out a little bit more. It looks like a lazy flat. Exactly. Right. Make it, make it look like hummingbird wings where it's like, uh, where you don't. don't even see it. Yeah.

Oh, man, do you think they're going to put a sound effect in for the flapping of his Oh, I hope it's just like, yes, I hope it's just like that, Brian. Marvel Studios, capture that.

Namer, Namer, Namer, Namer, Namer, Namer, yeah, that's why they call him that.

It's the sound of, since he's supposed to be a kiss quadl, uh, I think, I wonder if it'll be the sound of feathers, Russling. Yeah, it could be.

I mean, you know, you basically just say, well, he's, he's, he's flying because he's, you know,

Atlantean and he can do that and whatever not because his little wing flap, his little wings foot wings can go. Yeah. He has a snitch feet. It's fine. You can get around. Whatever he needs. Well, I haven't seen it yet. I'll watch after the show. That'll get you in trouble in prison, Snitchfield. Oh, yeah, they will.

That's somebody's nickname in Oz. My favorite ancillary character in Oz was Snitchfeet. All right, well, that's cool. Hey, bad news if you like Grindle, which I do. I was a fan of the comic book back in the day. It's not coming to Netflix anymore. In fact, I guess it was near done. They were almost done, right?

Once again. No, I think they were still producing or in the process of getting it moved into production. But Netflix is like, yeah, we're not interested in this anymore. And so the production company is free to shop this around to whoever else wants to pick up a comic book property, which is surprising for me. Who was Amazon just dropped the Paper Girls season two. I think it was on Amazon or Hulu. I forget these days. and so it's really weird that we're seeing a lot of companies just rushing out to grab comic book IPs

and then all of a sudden we're seeing this drop off of no we don't want this comic IP we don't want this we don't want this it's almost like we're oversaturated and people are looking for something different than comic book properties but for those people who don't know what a grindle is this is a series from matt wagner that kicked off I want to say in the late 80s early 90s yeah there have been many grindles but the main one follows a man by the name of Hunter Rose, who's a fencer, a writer, he's an assassin. In the main story arc, he fights organized crime in New York City and then ultimately becomes, spoiler alert for a 40-year-old series, the head of the organized crime unit in New York City. So if Matt Wagner's art is fantastic in this, if you've ever seen the Grindle figure in full costume,

it looks amazing, especially when he's got his big lance in it, just really cool stuff. My only problem with Grendel is a design is that he looks like someone said, hey, here's black suit, Spider-Man, here's a little bit of venom, put a little Deadpool in there. You know, like he's an amalgam of a lot of stuff you've probably already seen. Yeah. And it always rubbed me a little bit wrong. But I remember back in the day, I love in the stories. Stories are great.

If you're Dark Horse Comics and you're looking for the next thing. Yeah. And Marvel is, you know, this is right before, of course, the big crash in the 90s. Mm-hmm. Hunter Rose and Grindle was certainly a thing that would get people's attention and did get people's attention. Yeah, that's true. There's been a lot of really great cover art guest stuff. You can definitely check out, but it's just like this, like, almost like a, it's almost like venom on steroids is what I, the ones I'm thinking of, the ones I look back on, we're just really buff, black. Oh, yeah, that's, that's definitely a different grindle. Our grindle is very thin and, yeah, old school grindle is like a weird.

I don't know, like a little French man. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, kind of a little skinny guy that likes defense and stuff. Well, anyway, not happening now, so sorry. No, I'd rather... It could show up somewhere else. I mean, we've got at least two other streaming services that aren't owned by Disney that could pick this up. I could, I'd rather go.

I'd rather have like animation here or something, you know? Animated, Grindle, do that. Oh, man, speaking of animated. Did you sit down and watch Intergalactic, Scott? No, but you told me, I got a text from Broughtier from you over the weekend. we were like raving about it. I watched, there's two chapters of it. And tell me this is by the same people who did the animation for,

into the Spider-Verse. Well, that was the thing that first attracted me. It's like, wow, this looks like into the Spider-Verse. I didn't go that far. The director, Mules, I think, is his name. Okay. This is like his first feature film. He's got two other projects coming up in the very near future.

And the animation in this just looks amazing. Amazing. And this is the Kid Cuddy deal, right? Kid Cuddy, yeah, I think he has, from what I read, I think he has a new album out by the same name. And this movie basically is the giant music video for that album. Yeah, right. Kind of like what Sturgle Simpson did for Sound and Fury. Is that Sound and Fury?

Was that the name of that album? I think it is. Fury, right? Yeah. I think that's right. Yeah. So much. So good.

It is good. Now, I will say this. for people that are like, oh, yeah, I love the, the Spider-Man, and I want my kids to sit down and we're going to watch this together. No, there's a lot of sexy times, a lot of really strong language, and a lot of, a lot of drug use.

A lot of drug use. Okay. I don't know if you get to the sexy time stuff yet, Brian. I have not gotten to the sexy. Like, it's been hinted at, but it's all been, like, I'm not wearing a towel. And I think you just see one of his friend's butts when he's getting a massage. Oh, yeah.

No, there's one that's a little bit more raw where they're talking about something that happened in a laundry room. Okay. But you don't really see any, you know, you don't see any weaners or boobies or anything like that. Okay. That's a shame. Fair enough. Fair enough. People are getting it on a lot.

Entergalactic for those wondering the name. It's E. And not an I. It's an E. Yeah, enter. Which, you know, apparently there's a lot of that in this. I'm hoping there'll be a sequel called Enterstellar. Yep.

The animation and that is just... It is so cool. It is fantastic. It reminds me very much of the Into the Spider-Verse animation. And that's also a concern because the End of the Spider-Verse animation was mind-blowing and revolutionary when that came out. It gave us a whole different perspective on what you can do with 3D and animation together. We've got the new Into the Spider-Verse 2 and 3 coming up, which will use the same stuff and maybe push it a little bit further. but one of my fears was

oh everybody's just going to rip this style off and this is the first thing that I've seen that it feels like it's actively doing that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I've heard nothing but good things about it but it is impossible to see it and not go, oh, Spider-Verse.

Like it just looks, that lower frame rate on foreground characters, smoother frame rate in the background. Like those techniques, 100% Spider-Verse the way they're doing it. Yeah. And I'm sure if you ask Kid Cuddy, he would probably say,

yeah, that was one of our, inspirations he probably would you know i'm making that up but he probably would if i had to guess yeah anyway uh worth worth watching though you say if you're not a kid oh man i really enjoyed it i enjoyed it it's a love story so it's not like you're seeing superhero stuff or anything like that it's it's a romance story and it's i like it so far yeah yeah it follows a typical kind of not rom-com um story arc but yeah pretty much a rom-com story art so you know how it's going to end yeah maybe kim would because she likes rom-coms i think she i think she would and i honestly think if if if I was going to say, Scott, you and Carter should watch this together.

And then I was like, oh, no, sexy times. That's going to be weird. Too weird, yeah. It's not that Carter couldn't handle it. It said, I don't want to be sitting in the room then. That's weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the animation, I think Carter would totally be down for it.

Oh, yeah. I think she saw a trailer for this and was like, yeah, we got to watch this. And then I didn't hear anything about it. And then your review made me go, oh, maybe we watch it separately. How about that? We don't, uh, but we don't know that chat says, blanket over the TV. Right, yeah. My version of blanket over the TV is you watch it on your own time.

That's my, that's my, that's perfect. Well, anyway, there's a, there's that and a ton more going on in the world of pop culture, comics, and more. So if you're not already subscribed to slash checking out major spoilers all the time, both the website and their podcasts, line up, all that stuff, then you should be. Hey, Stephen, what else is going on over there that you'd like people to know about? We have the sixth or seventh chapter of our reading of HP Lovecraft's The Dunnich Orr, which just went live this morning so people can go and check that out if they are getting into the spooky season. and, of course, we got a whole bunch of other podcasts over there as well. So go and check that out. And most of all, Brian, not you, Brian, the other Brian and all the other

Brian's out there in the world, please make sure that you stay hydrated. Yeah, no kidding. Also, you Brian. Yeah, you Brian, too. Yeah, she is. You should drink, Brian. Brian should drink, all right? We're not saying you shouldn't drink.

You should drink. Boy, can I. Boy, howdy. All right, that is going to do it for today's show, except for the following email that I got from Michael, aka Badger Williams in the chat room. I don't know if he's there today or not. I didn't see this name today. But if he's not, it's okay.

I'll hear this later. He says this. Okay, let's talk about your thoughts on the Italian taco versus the Mexican pizza. You and everyone else always makes fun of Taco Bell for having the same five ingredients on their products. How is this any different? Furthermore, the Italian taco concept is the exact same thing as a Mexican pizza because the Mexican pizza is just a toastato with hot sauce. That's supposed to be the equivalent of a marinade. aerosauce. So yes, in a Taco Bell-esque manner, I think he did that for you. Oh, nicely done.

They took a pizza slice, folded it over, and said, hey, it's a taco. It's almost an adjacent subject to is a taco a sandwich. So, sorry, sir, if you fold a pizza slice, is it a sandwich slash taco? On that note, what is a calzone? Anyway, love the show, Michael, aka Badger Williams. Well, Well, you know, we agree. I mean, I don't think either of us are... I don't completely agree. Okay, go for it. Gadger Williams.

Give him what for? Why do you disagree with it? Taco Bell does not use the fried flour tortilla for anything else. The fried corn tortilla is used for Tostadas, but the fried flour tortilla is not used for anything else. The sauce they use is not the sauce they use for burritos or enchuritos or anything like that. It's definitely a specific sauce for the Mexican pizza. So, meanwhile, Pizza Hut is using a regular slice of pizza folded in half.

Yeah, a pepperoni pizza slice folded in half with no difference. You know what, Brian's right. I stand with Brian on this 100%. Badger Williams come back with better argument. You lost this round. Yeah. The judge is not going to allow it. Let me put my glasses on for this one.

I'll throw my glasses around. well actually yeah it's a good look for you love you uh love you badger william yeah you're great badger williams we loved you in uh that movie all right moving on let's get to these uh this carter says check your discord i have the answer oh oh wait one there's an answer okay i'm checking discord okay oh this is interesting the cube rule of food Brian i'll put this in our chat okay please do because it's on its way

I like food rules. Yeah, food rules are fun. I didn't even know she was listening this morning. She took her dog today. That's good for me because I don't have to deal with those dogs today. All right, here we go. The cube rule of food for identifying dishes based on starch locations. Okay.

This is what makes it, what's a sandwich versus taco versus a hot dog. This is amazing. I love this. It's just cubes. It's horribly drawn, but like toast is just the bottom section. of the cube, the rest is invisible. Sandwich, top and bottom of a cube. Taco, sides and bottom of a cube.

No ends are top. Sushi is a full cube without ends. Soup salad or bread bowl is a cube with the bottom and the sides and no top and then a calzone is a fully enclosed cube. This is great. That means that a hot dog is not a sandwich, but it's a taco.

That's a really good point. Yeah. Shit. Oh, and Talley says, burritos or sushi by this rule. Well, yeah. Well, no, because suites have closed ends, right? They have closed ends depending.

Sometimes they're open ends. It's either a soup, salad, bread bowl, or a calzone, depending on if they close both ends or just one. Yeah. But I would. If you make your, if you make your burrito with both ends open, you've got a problem. I don't want to know who you are. I don't want to be anywhere near that person. Yeah.

Who does that? I don't want your burrito. No. We live on a planet that has gravity. What are you doing? Exactly. I want a burrito that I could eat in the car And it better have at least one closed end

Bizarro thinking there, man I agree with you All right, well if you'd like to be Like Badger Williams or earlier today When we heard from Ben You can send us emails of your own The Morningstream at gmail.com That's the morning stream at gmail.com
