There's the chocolate that covers the whole thing. And then if you bite into it, there's what's called the nugget. And then there's caramel in the middle of it.

You can see all three of these different things, but they make one candy bar. Oh, Bobby, what are you doing? Good morning, everybody, and welcome. Good morning, everybody, and welcome back to the morning. stream it's wednesday october 19th 2022 i'm scott that's brian hi brian hello scott how are you i see you're sitting today

i'm sitting today scott would you like to know why i'm sitting yeah i have okay let me i'll make first i'll make a guess uh Brian is in a new traveling uh acrobatic troop and uh fell off the high wire yeah the trapeas yeah that's what happened okay nailed it nailed it uh

i wish that was the case no i went and helped my son move from one apartment building, one apartment complex, to another apartment complex that's about 500 feet north of his old apartment complex. Oh, that's close. You get a better deal? Basically, the complex next door had a better deal on a smaller, a two-bedroom apartment. Currently, they have a three-bedroom apartment. Their current complex didn't have another two-bedroom. It was a good price, and they're kind of sick of a few things that that complex didn't have.

So they moved to the next apartment complex over. Yeah. And it's a much nice one. I'll say this right now. It's a much nice one. Oh, it is. Yeah, they went from a second floor to a third floor, and it's got the new one's got a much better entry system. You have to have a key or fob to get into the building.

So it's almost like a Like a hotel in that respect Of course you still need a And you need a different thing To get into your apartment But they've also got hardwood floors now And they've got a cat that Loves to rip up carpet

So this is a big plus Having hardwood floors Yeah try ripping up that hardwood floor cat Let's see how you do now Exactly good look with that Remus Yeah remus But it was me and Tristan

Carrying all the big heavy stuff Like basically a Temperpita mattress with a really heavy pillow top on it that was zipped up all around it and would have just been a nightmare to try to take apart and then move and then reassemble of course the base of that bed a two-part huge sectional l-shaped couch uh coffee tables computer desks all this stuff and uh that's a lot my back my back which was already like you know teetering on the edge kind of paid the price for this whole

business. Well, that's why I asked about what floor, because when you're talking third floors, it's usually a lot of trekking up a bunch of stairs and stuff. Their old apartment is just stairs, but their new apartment has an elevator, so that was nice. But that one part of that couch was so big

it had to go into the elevator. Basically, it took up almost the full elevator at an angle because we couldn't have it flat, we couldn't have it upright. We had to like hold it at this angle to keep it in the elevator. Man, that's a lot of work, dude.

I'm not surprised that this happens to be when I move anything, so I feel you. Yeah, I kind of overdid it for sure. I can't even move a chair in this office without thinking ahead going, all right, do I need to, how am I bending over? Am I going to squat here? Like, you've got to think about it

or else, you know, where there's trouble. This reminds me, though. Did you hear about this software? It's like a big stink at the moment. There's some software that I think sounds like, you know, if you can call software evil, this feels evil to me. Yeah.

Oh, God. Okay. But this software exists now. I guess a lot of renters are using it. And the reason everybody's rent is so high is partially due to this software everybody's using that goes out, scours all possible rent locations in the country, maybe the world. I don't know. And figure out what is the highest possible price you can charge at any given time in any given

situation in any given area. Okay. And so the goal of the software. or is not to say anything else except to say how much can we what is the highest we can possibly go I see what you're saying okay so godly but I mean you know looking around the world and stuff is great even if around the country but you've it feels like if you're not competitive with what's around locally it almost doesn't matter right because if you if you say oh I can charge $3,000 for this one-bedroom apartment here in New York. Great, but you can't do that same thing in Arvada or,

you know, or probably Sandy. This probably accounts for that, I assume. Like, this is like, is like, here's the adjusted, here's the adjusted highest amount. So not renters, but property managers. Property managers, exactly. And it's very, very just like, you know, and in one way I can see it from their point of view, they're like, oh, this takes so much work off of us because we don't have to sit around and do the math and figure it out ourselves. We've got this thing that that is doing it for us. Yeah. So I get the convenience factor.

But on the flip side of that, with rent as high as it is right now, I mean, it's so bad. It's horrible everywhere. It isn't the big problem is that there's, and Tristan was seeing this. This is one of the reasons he moved is that there are more people wanting to rent apartments than there are apartments available in places people want to rent. So property managers can be dicks like that and say, I'm going to jack up the price. Yeah. I mean, it's not like there.

it's terrible. I just think it's just bad. But I'm glad he's, you know, 500 feet to a better thing. That's good. Exactly. Yeah, it's still, this blows my mind, Scott.

They live on one of the light rail lines. The station is outside their door. Like, basically they go down the elevator, out the door around the corner. And the old apartment building was on the other side of this station. Basically, the station and the street are what separates the old apartment complex from the new. Yeah, I get it.

So they live on the light rail line that takes them to downtown Denver. From there, you can get anywhere. There are scooters you can rent. There are, you know, everything's in walking distance, take you right to Union Station, right in the center of downtown Denver. And they never use it. It's like three bucks, and they're downtown. And they don't have to pay for parking. They don't have to pay for gas.

anything and uh and they i don't know why they never use the light rail it's like i would be if i lived right on the light rail line that's all i do probably get rid of one of our cars yeah why have a car payment i wouldn't i wouldn't you just that's the whole point of public transit especially a good one you know like that's like tracks around here same thing really great system if you live on it and if you live on it why wouldn't you freaking well a lot of people do and a lot of people will drive to this station we have over here. Right, do a park and ride kind of thing.

Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I've done that for the airport because it, um... They save so much money on, like, gas and everything. It's crazy. Cretz says, last time I was in Denver, an Uber was cheaper than the light rail in between downtown and the airport. I find that hard to believe.

I can't imagine you'd get an Uber for cheaper than $9, which is how much it cost to take light rail from Union Station to the airport. Yeah, that doesn't sound right. That's, uh, I, I, I shrug at that, uh, that, that, that statement sounds, sounds off because I, because I took a way shorter distance I took in Seattle and that cost us 60 bucks on a, on a Uber. I never see Uber's or lifts from downtown to the airport or any, anywhere to the airport for less than 30, 35 bucks.

Yeah. That's the rule. Sadly, when I take some of the airport, I make about $17 for a $30 ride, $35 ride to the airport. Oh, I'm glad, you know, I thought it was less than that that people got. I'm glad to hear it's more than I thought. I don't know what I thought. It's like a little bit less than 50% is how much drivers make, which... It's not terrible. It'd be better if it was like 70-30.

60, 70-70, yeah, exactly. Yeah, 70-30 in your favor would be better. Yeah, exactly. I think there, we're on, we're about at a point where it'd be nice. We were looking for another ride share service to come in and offer the same prices or even lower prices for its driver, for its riders, and offer more to the drivers and just gobble up all the Uber and Lyft drivers who are really unhappy right now with that split.

Yeah, there's what's, there's a new one called, um, oh, there's a new one. Because I saw a third name when I was in the Orange County Airport, and I can't remember what it was called. It was like Lyft, Uber, and this is where you do pickups for Lyft, Uber, and some other new name. Yeah, it's like, it's an S, it might even, is it a fail? It is an Smer, yeah, I can't remember what it is. There's one called a veil, but I don't think that's it. Okay, here we go.

Alternatives to Uber. Okay, according to Wheels Inquirer. Wings? Was it Wings with a Z? There's one called Get G-E-T-T-T. Okay. They say it's one of the best alternatives because it's cheaper, up to 50% cheaper than Uber in some cases. Wow.

You can book your ride two weeks in advance even. It doesn't say anything about what the driver. gets something called curb let's see O-L-A it's in India though let's see Didi Chucksing that's in China We don't want that

Didi Chuxing? Yeah Via is it Via? Maybe it's Via Yeah Via is what I saw it was up there It might be Wings is the one I saw wings with Z Yeah

But I'm also seeing Juno Yeah June, oh, that is one, too. Oh, went bankrupt in 2019. Oh. It's on this list. This might be an older list. Yeah, let's see.

So you mentioned Get, there it is. Yeah, GETT. I think I saw G. Get purchased Juneau in 2017, decide to shut Juneau down in 2019. Rightsharing company that focuses on a corporate fleet, limo and cab rides. Oh. So it doesn't try to compete with Uber and Lyft, but it caters to business customers. Boo.

Boo. Wings, specializing in airport rides. That makes sense. Oh, wings, yeah. With the thing. They specialize in the old 80s sitcom Wings. That's right. I only drive a couple of brothers and a mechanic that barely speaks English.

Yeah. And occasionally the guy that played Monk, he's in there as well. Right. Can't think of his name. Tony Shaloob. We move him around. Tony Shalub. Yeah.

Well, anyway, you know, I agree with you. The competition never hurts, and I would love to see that space get shaken up a little bit, you know? Yeah, yeah. That's because I think this gig economy stuff's here to stay. I just think it needs to diversify. and, you know, be more in favor of those doing the gigs. That's all. Yeah.

Because, you know, the companies are not short on cash. They're fine. They're making way more money than they need to make. But whatever. It's the world we live in. Hey, I've had a question since the 90s. The very early 90s. And this question has gone unanswered all these decades until yesterday.

Okay. Where Judd Winick from season three of, the real world. Los Angeles. Famous for San Francisco. Wasn't it San Francisco? I think of San Francisco. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. San Francisco, yes. Los Angeles was the cowboy and the, uh, the, the Irish guy. Yeah, that was a weird one that season. That was a weird one. Yeah, I didn't like it. Uh, but third season's kind of the one everyone really reveres. For sure.

And Puck is part of the problem and the solution. Pedro and peanut butter and. Yeah. And then Pam, who Judd Winick ended up marrying. That's right. It was the piece season, apparently. Yeah. Puck, Pedro, peanut butter, and pen.

So anyways, I follow, Judd. He's a, these days, a professional artist and cartoonist, which he was, you know, working on at the time on the show. Yeah, he was like, kind of, hit the time. Yeah, and he's like, he's like our age, and I just relate to the guy a little bit. Anyway, so I asked him a question because he put up a gif of him in his, in the intro to the show. He, when they get to his name, he's inside of. of a phone booth on the phone talking to somebody. What's that? Yeah, I know, right? It's ancient

technology. So he's in there doing that, and I've always wondered, who's he talking to? So I asked him. I said, my question has always been, this is on Twitter. Share this with the chat since I have it here. Why not? Oh, I can't actually see it. He's talking to his agent. Can you please get me off of this damn show? I said to him, I said, a bicycle messenger that shoots snot rockets and sticks his fingers in the peanut butter. kidding. Oh my gosh, that guy. He says, my question has always been this. What was, was that a real phone call? And if so, with whom? Well, Judd Winick decided to answer me. And here's what he said. Whoops, I just killed the thing. There we go. Number one, it was staged. They were filming me talking on a pay phone. It was one of the only moments where they staged something. That set, see, that's interesting right there. Don't skip over that line. It was one of the only moments where they staged something. Hmm. That means that season was more real than maybe people think. Anyway, that's it. I've always thought. I've always felt it was very, very real.

Yeah, never, really early, they hadn't figured out that they could, uh, nudge things into certain situations to get reactions. Exactly. That hadn't, we hadn't entered that area yet of reality television. Anyway, he says, that said, I did make actual phone calls, or it did, or I did, meaning he, you know, he made calls. Number two, I have told everyone of my close friends. and relatives for the last 30 years that I was calling them. That's adorable. Anyway, he answered it. So let your minds be stilled, everyone.

For all this time, you wondered what the hell was going on with Judd Winnex phone call in the intro of the show. Finally. Finally, I can sleep. That's been the problem. Yeah, the answer is nigh. All right. Finally, a happy birthday to Logan, who is not not. Logan from Leslie.

Oh, thank goodness, because I was looking at this age and saying, oh, my God, I'm so old. No, this is a different Logan who is nice enough to help me out with a test of some text stuff I'm working on for various shows, including this one. And he's 29 today. He is 29 years old. Oh, that's his birthday, Logan. He says he's been listening to the show since he was like 12 or 13, which makes sense, like listening to the instance all the way back then. and now he's a freaking old fart. So congratulations, Logan, and happy birthday to you.

Oh, here I'll play you a thing. I'll play you a thing. Normally we have a song associated with this, but not today. It's just your birthday. That kid is singing the only song you're going to get. Yeah, unless you sent Brian a request. That's as good as it's going to give for you. He may have, but it's not the one we're playing today.

Well, there you have it. Well done. Thank you, Logan, for your help yesterday, and happy birthday to you. Okay. Let's get to some shit here. What are we doing? Brian, we're doing Dunaway. We're doing Dunaway.

That's right. And you all need to get on the phone. If you want to be participating today, 801-471-0462, that's 801. Look at that prize today, Scott. Look at the first thing in that. Oh, I haven't even looked. Oh, look at that. That's a good one.

Yeah, right? That's a good one. Yeah, I kind of wanted myself. All right. Well, let's dive in. Hey, hey, hey, look what we got here. It's a Brian Dunaway showing his beautiful face on the air. Hi, Brian. How are you? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi, hey, hey, hey, hey.

We have a camera in your office, so that's why you're showing your beautiful face on the air here. You don't know that. You don't know where the camera is. Yeah, look around. Am I waving at it? No, am I waving it right now? Turn to your right. Turn to your right. Yeah, look at you. Oh, you're talking. You're almost looking. right at it. You're almost looking right at it. Here we go. You're warm. You're warm. Hi, how's it going? It's good to have you here. Happy birthday to your significant other.

So she's around the, around the sun one more time. Nice. Nicely done. Yeah. Yeah, she did real good. She didn't get depressed at all. Yeah. Once you get to a certain age, every birthday is kind of, like oh god yeah and for those by the way at home who were like where what happened to play retro

Weird. Thanks for holding so long on the line. Who's this? Oh.

Oh, no, they're there. They're there. They're there. Hi, who's this? It's Guwokmar. Hey, Guwakmar. What's going on, man? How are you? I'm doing mine. My sister's name is Audra. Oh, no way. Oh, wow. They're not the same Audra, I assume. No, they're not. I just wanted to her wedding. No. Oh, yeah, yeah. You don't want... Of course. Don't you know about the wedding?

And are you able to put your mouth towards the receiver of your phone device? Yeah, for some reason you're kind of quiet, but it could be our line, who knows? It's probably all the guack. It's a little bit better, yeah. It's a little bit better. All right, we're going to play a game. I can't work on my actual phone. Oh, there we go.

Yeah, talk it to the thing you're holding and I'm into the computer. There you go. Brian's going to. I'm getting older because I answer my phone upside down yesterday. And I was like, oh, God. Oh, my. My lord, did you really? Well, it's easy.

Look, these candy bars phones. You know how you can tell your old? Because you answered your phone and didn't just like text and say, hey, what's us? That's true. Yeah, but if you're not looking, these devices, they're not, well, I guess on the back if you're looking because there's a camera up top. But if you're not really paying attention, I get it, man. I totally get it. Yeah, I just picked it up really quick.

And I was like, hello? I was like, oh, they sound like they're very far away. And I'm like, oh, wait a minute. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, Brian, explain these rules. Some way we got to talk about your new phone because I want to. I want you to give us some juicy details while I anxiously await my own. And look at that.

You put a case on yours. You don't normally do that. I do. No, I always do. But it's usually clear. This one I got was... No, I remember you proudly saying that, like, no, I don't put a case on my phones. Oh, no.

Heck no. I've always done a case. He was punking you. It's always a rubber, rubber silicone. Usually see-through. This one's not see-through. But I prefer it. Tell me, people.

Am I crazy? because I totally remember Scott talking about how... No, go to the tape. Can you put it under your shirt? If I've said that somewhere, find it. I'd love to hear it, but I always do. I feel naked if I don't.

Like, I'm going to break it. I have to. It's really funny because I remember you telling me, oh, no, it's like, you know, these things are sturdy and... You know what? It was probably up until the time you ran into a corner of a table

with a phone in your pocket and bent the crap out of it. That was the six. You're right. I did do that. Real quick, though. Maybe you're talking, talking about the front, like a... protective.

No, no, I can just want to do it. It was a whole case thing. Yeah, I don't know. Because I was always the one who's like, no, I always put a case on my phone. And this time, I was thinking, maybe I won't do a case on my phone like Scott. Yeah. You know, I don't know when that was, but I'd love to figure it out. Because I'm a clear case kind of guy, so, you know.

Oh, look at you with the ring and the whatnot there, yeah. You know what I don't like? I don't like the knob ones. I don't like the knob ones with the, where people, I know what helps you and have you not drop your phone, but the ones with a little freaking doorknob on. on the back? I hate that. Oh, yeah, no. The pop sockets? No, or whatever it is. The ones that stick way out,

they're like this, they go out by this far. Yeah, like pop sockets, right? Is that what that's called? That's what they're called. Popsocket, yeah, right. Well, see, here's what I've got. This is really cool. So this is a little ring, it's magnetized. So if I'm going, if I'm going somewhere where I'm going to want to take pictures or do a selfie or something, just like basically, it magnetizes onto the back your phone. It is super sturdy. Yeah. So that I can, like, okay and the little ring comes out and so I can go and it rotates around to whatever comfortable

position I don't that's actually great because then you can lay it flat and flush and stuff exactly and then it works with the thing and then if I don't want it take it right off it's gone all right I sure we'll be glad we just implant this carter is saying Scott's gaslighting brain

Brian or Carter you know that's not she's full of crap she knows I have to have a case she's full of she's full of poop She says, he used to not. Then he dropped it without a case once. No. Brian might be right about when I mashed the six, but I don't drop my phone.

I never do that. I've never dropped my phone and I don't break the glass ever. Her phone looks like somebody shot it with a freaking shotgun right in the center of it. And she has a case, but she drops it all the time. Anyway. Oh, love it. All right, cool. Let's get to our game.

Let's get to the game. Let's play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics. It's gotten boring enough to predict the answers. that they gave us. It's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess TableSide, Guacmar, your job is more important than ever because you're going to

be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your team wins, you will get a prize package. That includes In Sound Mind and the Command and Conquer remastered collection the whole dang of Command and Conquer

on Steam. How cool is that? I'm jealous of this. That was actually really well received and reviewed. Yeah. It's very good. Yeah. So, very excited. Carter also says, also, my phone is barely scratched.

That is such garbage. I can, now that, I can prove because I can go take a picture of it, and y'all are going to be blown away by how gross her phone is. She's so full of it. All right, anyway. All right, Nick, with Tadpully feud, this is the battle we've all been waiting for.

This is family feud. This is Johnson feud. I'm like it. Exactly. The real family feud. Yeah. It's happening. All right, let's get to it.

Here is your topic. Put your hands on your buzzers. asked 815 tadpoolers. Only seven of them could be bothered to come up with an answer. It couldn't be arced to come up with an answer, as they say in the UK. Yeah, arst. I love that. We asked them, what's your favorite breakfast cereal?

It's got. Captain Crunch. Captain Crunch. Captain Crunch. Captain Crunch. And I did include peanut butter Captain Crunch, Crunch, Crunch Berries, all oops, all berries. I put all those into one. Three answers will beat it, Brian.

What's the Tadpool's favorite breakfast cereal? Oh, God. Everybody is always so many people who like the plain old frosted flakes. Frosted flakes. Show me the frosted flakes. They're right. Oh, number eight. It's good points.

But Scott's got the control of the board and therefore it gets Gwarkmar. That's right, Gwakmar in the house here. Gwakmar does any, I just, spewed that out because it's the first thing I thought of, but do you have any that are jumping up in your head? Well, the peanut butter crunch is my favorite, but everybody asked me me, lucky to win.

Sorry, what was the last thing you said? Brian went, yes, and interrupted you. I said everyone is after me, lucky charms. Oh, lucky charms is good. Lucky charms. Cheers, cheers. You know, those green clover, yellow moons, pink hearts, orange blossoms,

and green crystal. I don't know. All right. Show me a lucky charm. Three. Yeah, number three. Hmm. Okay, so I get the feeling

we're going to get a lot of sugar cereal stuff here. That's what's going to happen. Do you eat all the charms out of there, out of your lucky charms? Anybody do that? Eat them only the charms? Do what? Like you pour it all into a bowl and fish out the charms

or you dump them all into your hand, pick out the charms and dump the rest in the trash? Yes. No, no, leave the rest for somebody else comes along and they, like, pour a bowl, and like what the it's all kibble oops

all garbage is the name of that box of cereal yeah it's just it's kibble and it's gross I did I told you guys

the story but I was in my 20s I found we bought a box of Lucky Charms and it was only marshmallows in there

that's it oh right they do that now don't they don't they still at one point well this was a mistake this was some yeah they did it

they did it on purpose at one point but that was way after Scott found his magical box it was like 89 or 90 or something it was a long time ago

anyway Uh, congratulations to me and you. Do they have blue diamonds? Because those look like Viagra. I think you're right. And now I have diabetes. Blue diamonds. Pink hearts, orange stars, green, uh, green glovers, yellow moons, blue diamonds, purple

horseshoes, red balloons. Look at you. Wait, red balloons. That's a new one. Red balloons. I remember. Is there 99 of them in every box? They're totally luffed.

Hold on a second. There are, there are red balloons in there? there was a new thing It must be new thing It must be Okay Late a lot I wasn't paying attention

That back then Of this stuff Let's see Yeah they kept changing them That's crazy Interesting Okay All right

Learn something new every day All right Let's uh Honey Bunches of Oats I know that's popular I like it Sure Honey Bunches of Oats

You know the The source of so many Misheard things in In commercials back in the day Show me Honey Bunches of Oats Ohes Oh, I'm sorry.

Number 11. You're an idiot. Well, Mr. Brainiac, what do you got there? What you got? What you got? Well, I thought I knew the Tadpool until I said Frosted Flakes, and they're all like, that'll be number eight. I'm going to say, I'm going to say fruity pebbles.

It seems like the Tadpool is a fruity Pebbles kind of group. What do you think? Sure, sure, sure. All right. show me fruity pebbles bonnie show me the fruity pebbles bonnie that's pretty good oh debor number seven yeah it's up there i told you i told you guys go ahead brun what you can say maybe these people are cheerios people maybe they're more healthy than i think they might be is that what you're

saying i'm gonna go give me some cheerios all right show me cheerios damn it yep that includes your honey nut as well by the way so you'll notice that wherever there's variations, I just lumped them in. And I think there were more people. Now, Fruity was definitely the higher of the pebbles. There was a handful of people who liked Coco Pebbles, so I just merged Frutie and Coco Pebbles. Yeah, Coco Pebbles is just like a brown dye.

That's all that is, man. It really is. And those are so, like, oh, they're so thin, and they turn into mush within seconds of hitting the milk. They're not great. They're better just to get a dry handful and snack on it, honestly. I've told you guys a story about, the fruity pebbles in my my roommate right i told you guys that story can i tell that real fast

somebody who fell asleep and woke up with a with a box of fruity pebbles in their bed and they were all colored no but no but you're but you're but you're hinting toward what happened so this is very fast he was this big big uh simoan guy which is a dangerous thing he'll kill he'll kill you right he's a bit i don't mean because they're they're not violent violent no no he's just a lot bigger than i was and uh while he was in the shower he was the shower was going i went in there with a big handful of fruity pebbles. And as soon as he walked out of the shower, hadn't dried off yet,

he just stepped out, buck naked, and I took this handful and went, just all up and down him. And he chased me around that house for, I don't know, 10 minutes, and it took days for the little stains to go away.

Oh, so don't do it. You're a terrible human being. Yeah, don't do it. I regret what I did. And he got me back and I won't say how. No, you don't.

He got me back. It's all. It's revivary. binge was had. What do you do? I'm not going to say on the air. Did he like, wait for you to take a nap and cover you in hot dog wieners? No. What happened? No, he did a thing that I can't say on the air. That's what I can't say. Wow. Okay. I can't tell people what happened. Oh, but. Yeah. Let your imaginations run wild. I used to, I used to occasionally, my, my roommate had his own room, of course. He liked to sleep naked, which was disturbing. Yeah, no one likes that. And we would, we would, we would occasionally, a sneak. one of the Oscar Meyer weaners in there and throw it in his bed and let him wake up to that. So wait, like just a cold, uh, cold hot dog in the bed? A good old cold hot dog. Wow.

Wow. Right there. That would be weird. Find your, uh, find your wiener in the bed. That'll freak you out. Yeah, I feel like if I woke up and found a cold hot dog next to my, you know, hip or whatever. Actually, we'd have to warm it up a little bit. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we left it out. Yeah. Oh, it's room, room temperature. Right. Because you don't want to wake him up right then.

You can't sneak a cold weaner in a bit with somebody like that. You can't fill that. Somebody used to, was it Cleo? Somebody that we had on the show once talked about cold ball bearings. You put them in the freezer. And then you put them in the bed. And they try to get away from them. But they will always roll to the lowest point on the mattress.

God, that's hilarious. That's how you know you're going. It was somebody who's having problems getting their kids out of bed in the morning to, to go to school. And so you just put cold ball bearings in the bed. They're like, ha, ha, ha. hilarious. Yeah, you can't get away from them until you're literally out of the bed.

That's great. Use that one, parents. That could be worse on those memory from beds. Yeah, oh, yeah, that's a good point. Oh, there you go. You could just, like, create a little divot in a different part of the bed. Just put a little cold ball in every single one of the little drops. That's great.

All right. Sorry. All right. All right. Still is still your control. I'm struggling that we have a little bit. discovered what the number one cereal is for these people.

I think I know, but I'm going to wait until you're done here. Like I said, I went one route. Cheerio is a lot healthier. That seems to be higher up as opposed to the frosted flakes and the... I don't know. There's a bunch of old people. Do they need their raisin brand?

Oh, that's good. Oh, we can certainly find out. Show me two scoops of raisins in every box. Oh, geez. It's good point. That's super low. Doesn't he, he can't, I can't win at this point unless he clears the board, then we win. Let's see.

No, 16. There are 22 points left. 21. Yeah, there's still, there's still points, enough points that you can. Okay. It was looking grim. Which is 22 points left? Is that what you're saying, Guacamire?

That's what, 10, 5, 1, 6, 22. Yeah, yeah, 22. Geez, you guys are like, check out the big brain on Guacamar. It's really impressive. I, I, I, I'm thinking maybe since, I'm, you put frosted flakes, but there's corn flakes. I think that's the number one selling cereal, right? Because you add your own fruit, your own sugar, and all that good crap. But does anybody actually buy that?

All right, yeah, I'm going with me. They make crust with it and like certain dishes, like chicken. Do you guys do you ever do the chicken? Is that anybody's favorite? Do you ever do the chicken with the fried chicken covered? Yeah, that's good. That's good. Yeah. I wouldn't do it with frosted, but whatever.

Somebody out there has. I'm sure somebody in Alabama has done that. Yeah, or no offense, Alabama, but yes, you probably have. No offense, Alabama, but I'm sure somebody on there. I'm sure somebody in every state has done that. Yeah, yeah. Gwakmar, what state do you in again? Where are you?

Virginia. Virginia. Somebody in Virginia has done this? Virginia. Yeah, somebody in Virginia has done it. Yeah, I guarantee it. Let's go. Let's go here.

I forgot what you even said You said Cornflakes Oh, corn flakes It's Yeah Oh, that's crazy I posted a video this morning

On Twitter Featuring a clip from the movie Reckless Kelly with Yahoo Sirius I don't think we ever watched it For FilmSack, did we? No, reckless Kelly, no Reckless Kelly But it features a dog answering the phone

And going Corn Flakes That's awesome I got a question for you So did nobody say corn flakes, period? Corn flakes number 12 on the list, so just after honey bunches of oats. See, yeah. I was thinking, I was thinking you would have combined the two.

No, because it's not, it's not frosted corn flakes, right? It's not like, I mean, I see what you're saying. Isn't it just frosted? Aren't they just frosted flakes? They are, they are corn flakes that are frosted. General Mills and corn flakes is from Kellogg. Oh, right. Ah, there you go. See, Guacamore is knowledgeable.

Yep, today on our guest knows more than we do. It's the morning stream. For sure, exactly. I should swap places and I'll play the game and he can... I thought you were going to do... I'm kind of with Dunaway here. I thought you would say, oh, well, I've combined the two forms of cornflakes into one deal, but now I think that that might be an answer.

There's two brands. That makes sense. Two different brands is what Guacamar was saying. Kellogg's versus General Mills. See, that blows my mind. I didn't know that. It does too. Me too.

I thought they were the same and I'm a big cereal guy. Yeah. I'm a little bit, I feel like I don't know anything anymore now. What is up? I think you should follow your nose. All right,

let's follow my nose. It always knows. What is up? There you go. Wait, I'm trying to remember what Tukansam cereal is, though. What is it?

Fruit loops. Fruit loops. I couldn't remember what he did. Because wait, what's the one with the rabbit? Oh, never mind. We'll do that later. All right.

Fruit loops. We're doing fruit loops. Show me fruit loops. Number 10, the big 10 answer right there. Now, that's funny because I remember the name Tucan Sam, but not the cereal he repped. Isn't that weird? Yeah, the mascot's more powerful than the other. Yep.

Yep. Kippen Kippur put that video in the chat. If you want to play it, just go to like the last few seconds of the video, and that's where the dog says, cork flakes. Pookie crisp. Oh, what? And we really need to watch this movie for Film Sack. All right, to play it. could you have frosted flakes

that's the video that's not it no look it with Captain Kipper I love that though what was that hold on I clicked yeah I clicked Captain Kippers video it's a frosted flake

chicken tenders recipe did I miss the other one No you missed the other one Is it higher? Oh here it is I found it Here we go I see it last last few seconds All right I'm going to turn this up so we can hear. Corn flakes.

Oh my gosh. There is a dog saying cornflakes. Let's go back. It's mad. Slow down. What are you doing? Talking to my dog. All right. Dan.

Corn flakes. I hate it. I hate that. I hate that. I like voice overdub. I really don't like it. It's made me feel uncomfortable. I don't like it at all. I hate it.

Damn. Okay. Also, he's talking on a phone that looks like a gun, and the barrel of the gun is pointed in his ear. All right. So we're back. It's us again still, right? It is, Scott, you still have control three answers left on the board and get them all

and you run the board and you win. Yeah, you got that waxy taste in your mouth right now. You just said fruit loops. I do. Even if you get number five and number six, you still win, even if you don't get number one, which come on now, number one. You said you had an idea what the number one answer. I have a feeling, but I want to go ahead, Gwarkmore.

Oh, silly rabbit, tricks are for kids? You want to do tricks? Yeah. All right, tricks, all those colored balls and shit in there. Let's do that. Yeah, yeah. All right, show me silly rabbit. Tricks are for kids.

Oh, come on. Nobody eats that crap. I was looking number 31 on the list are those little balls of color. Basically flavored, sugared kicks, which is what moms like it for what it's not, or whatever the hell the thing was. It's right. We're kicks and tricks from the same company? Oh, I don't know. I don't think so.

Okay. That would make sense, though, right? Because they're like, oh, we're already making these little puff balls. Let's just sugar some up, and then the other ones will mark it to moms. That's right. Yeah, there's an end or breakfast cereal that you see in one episode that looks like blue kicks or blue tricks. Now I've got to finish Andor I think that's what turns the milk blue by the way

They are both general mills Oh they're both general mills? They are both general mills All right so they're pumping those out of the same crap factory somewhere That's all right Yeah, that's the deal All right But I'll tell you what's banned in our house

Because we can't stop eating it by the handfuls Cinnamon Toast Crunch Do do do it Oh cinnamon toast crunch We can't, we can't get it because, like I said, we just handful. I can't even imagine eating it by the handfuls because that stuff, that sugar on there has got to be worse than Cheeto dust. Oh, yeah.

So good, it is. And you're so sticky. And you can chase the Samoan around the house with it. It's great. But then you smell like, you smell like old, like, like sleepover pajamas when you eat. Syrup and pee pee pee. Yeah, it's not good. But that doesn't, that doesn't change the fact that you can't stop eating it.

You just keep like shoveled in your face. Sure. Sure. I get it. I totally get it. All right. Show me Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Try getting your dog to say that. Number one answer, that is the cereal that the tadpullers love the most. Oh, Pee-P cereal. Does anybody remember that chef guy for Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Oh, yeah, like the original mask guy was a chef. Did they not use him anymore? I don't know. No. They probably got sued because no chef is involved in the production of them. You guys can't show a chef unless there's a chef involved. That's probably what happens. I don't know.

All right. The cinnamon toast crunch now is not cannibalistic. Yeah, that's right. Oh, right. Yeah, you're eating an actual slice of cinnamon toast that says, Hey, eat me and my friends and some milk. Oh, you know what they are now? No, they're just...

Yeah, you're right. They're just the little anthropomorphic versions of the cereal with eyeball, with gougly eyes now. Yeah, yeah. But back in the day, you had this. Listen to this one. Here. Papa smur!

Oh. Rainy! Look what you've done. Like you said, Papa Smurf. Let's get rid of this thing. Okay, that's the end of the Smurfs. Here we go. Our show will be back.

Oh, my gosh. You know how to make YouTube videos? Okay, here you go. Yeah. Oh, no. We're out of cinnamon toast crunch. Let's make more. Oh, it's three chefs, you guys.

It's three chefs, yeah. And then there was chef Wendell, who was the, Wendell with the older, the oldest of the three chefs, the one with the glasses on his nose. The one with all the experience, yeah. He became the sole mascot of cinnamon toast crunch and stopped appearing on the box in 2009. You had the other two chefs killed and put into the cereal mix.

He did, exactly. It's a dark story. You don't want to tell your kids. Chef Wendell. Anyway, so you just won that done away. What else you got? Do another one. So I think.

Clear the board, by the way. That's what you want to do here. Yeah, we, I think. we can clear it. We only got two more. I think King Vitamin was a very popular cereal, but I'm not going to say that. King, Viper. You guys remember that nasty crap? Your mom would bring home?

What is this? King vitamin. Get out of here. It made you want her to bring the kicks back. That's how bad King Vitamin was. Yeah. So if they're grabbing by a handful of cereal, now like I said, maybe people eat differently. But the other thing I don't get because I just, I just go through a whole box is the frosted mini-weets. I just can't stop eating those. Yeah, those are great.

Those are great as a snack, too, because you can just grab, like, eight of them. And they fill up your bowl, too. Yeah, really quickly. All right. And they're very filling. Show me those mini-weets, those shredded mini-weets, either regular or frosted. Number six on the board. So here's what we got.

We have one answer left on the board. Currently, there's no way for Scott to win the prize for Gwakmar that way. But if you guys have three strikes between the two of you, you guys can figure this one out. All right, Brian. Don't have this up. The one that's the other one we always get is special K. Now, I don't feel bad about the special K for some reason. I always get the ones with the yogurt.

Don't do it. The little yogurt bits. If you do special K, we're losing. There's no way. There's no way special K is on this. list. That was grandma's cereal. That's what she ate while she sat in her freaking chair. Special K. Who do you think is to have Tadpools made out of? Our grandma's. Special K commercials ran at night

during the news and Saturday morning cartoon. You know you like those dehydrated strawberries that magically came to life? Oh, look, I don't, I didn't mind it as a cereal, but I'm telling you, there's no way the Tadpool eats special K. I guarantee it. My wife looks at the box at the grocery store. I, nope, nope, nope, nope. Yeah, yeah. It's like, uh, Yeah, it used to be like the thing that had a leg on it with a tape measure or something.

Wasn't there? Like, wasn't that the box logo or something on the front? All right. Maybe they're cuckoo for something. Are people cuckoo for a thing? Wow, y'all are just hating on my special K. I mean, it is yours. You know what?

I just want to make sure that that's your answer. It is yours to say. So if you want to say special K, you should do it. I'll go with the rice Krispies. Who eats that crap, though? I don't like it either. Everybody with marshmallows. Show me

Rice Krispies. I'm kind of amazed. Yeah, 14 on the list is Rice Krispies or Coco Krispies, whatever, you know, any kind of Krispies. Frosted Rice Krispies. Wow. Any Krispies with a K

got lumped into that category. Frost rice Krispies are excellent. They're only good for making the squares, you know, the marshmallow square things. That's all you eat in Rice Krisp. Somebody actually said, Rice Krispie Treat cereal. do they actually did they make yeah they do make that what like clusters or something is it just clusters of

they do yes it's a little it's a little clusters yeah i've you ever done that you've ever taken a rice crispy and like broke it apart and put it in milk and no eat like cereal no no no that's horrid yeah yeah why is that horrid it's marshmallows and rice crispy's what that's wrong with you people i don't know my liver moved when you said that you've eaten it my liver went uh moved a little bit like an like i you know i love a rice crispy treats don't get me wrong so i'll eat those but i can't imagine breaking those up and putting them in milk. I don't know why. It just seems wrong.

I don't know. You can't explain it. People are missing out. Yeah. I guess so. All right. What's number? All right.

It's our turn. So it's guts turn now. Okay. Guacmar. I believe in you. What do you want to do? I have like six of them in my head. I've got my favorites.

But I think I have to go with the being cuckoo for cocoa puff. All right. Cocoa. I feel strong about that too. I like the cuckoo coo puffs. Yeah. With Sunny, who was a. what kind of bird was sunny, the cocoa puffs, bird?

He was a cuckoo. Cuckoo bird, right? He was a cuckoo bird. Okay. All right, with that big old, like, uh... Did Brian finally have his leopard? Did this happen just now? Did I finally have my cheetah?

Are you cheetah? I can't even do that part, right? Well, was he anyway. Yeah, I did this. Listen, he wasn't a cocoa, which is in the name. He's not a cocoa bird. I guess he was, right? Cuckoo for cocoa buffs.

I totally. did have my Chester Cheetah moment, did I? Finally, finally. I feel better now. Okay. All right. The snake is eating its own tail.

All right. Show me Coco Puffs. Oh! Damn it. Just for that. I enjoyed that. Yeah. Number 22 on the list

was Coco Puffs. Lame. So what do we got for five? What happened there? You got five? We got one last guest. Oh, Brian. Sorry.

I didn't realize he had a next left. Yeah, no. He has one guest left. Oh, y'all are out and I have a one left? Yeah, it all comes down to this, so God, I want to, I really

want to say special, K, just to piss you guys off. I'm just kidding. It would work. I'm not like that. Oh, man, we've, what is left? I'm just saying if the chat room, you know, this is like

where the audience yells in, say this, say this, say this, say this. Great, nuts? No. Sugar, golden graham. Did you have one? There's one person who just said the answer in the chat room. Apple jacks are really good. I do like Apple jacks.

I love Apple jacks are good. You can't eat too many of them, but Apple Jack's pretty good that first few bites. See, cool, look, and Krisper, my favorite. Another person just said it. Interesting. I don't know. There's so many answers being said in the chat room that nobody's many. Yeah.

Yeah. Just got said again. Are they big? No honeycomb. Okay. Is it Mikey like it then? Is it the checks? That's candy.

That's not Mikey. That's not what Mikey likes. Yeah, Mikey likes life. No, grandma likes checks. Who is Grandma like again? Grandma likes checks and all the other cereals you said. Isn't the checks mix like they put that? Don't you put Worcestershire sauce in that?

Yeah, it's not supposed to be like a cereal. You don't eat that in cereal. What is the cereal that Mikey likes? I'm going to say Mikey needs to get a life. People eat life cereal. That is the trashiest trash. Life's okay. It looks great.

Is this? Cinnamon life. Y'all gonna crap on me for crumbling up a Rice Krispy treat, which they turn into a cereal, and you're all going to tell me that life is delicious. Life is shit. But we're going with life.

All right. Show me life. I have created life. Oh, you did it? You cleared the board, yes. Listen, cinnamon life. Life is pretty good. The life cereal is pretty good.

Cinnamon life is da bomb. That belongs on this list. I agree. I love cinnamon life. That must be a regional thing because around here, where I live, ain't nobody eating no life. Yeah. Really? Yeah.

Instead, they're eating a special K for some reason. Fairly, yes. Oh, man, special K is huge around here, man. By the way, three people said special K. Three people? Three people said special K. Did you get, did we ask for their ages as well? Did we find out their 90?

I should. I should go back and see what they answered for all the other answers in the pool. I can't tell who they are, but I can certainly find. out what else they said and the other questions. Golden Grams on the list. Granola, grape nuts, Reese's puffs, honeycomb, it's big, yeah, yeah, yeah.

O'Neill, Apple Jacks, musley. Oh, geez. Musley. Wiedabix, which is British. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Count Chocula, Cracklin Oak brand.

Oh, crackle-o brats. That's cat food. NutraGrain Speaking of old people in our Tadpool, Quakeroth squares. I do like the Quakerow squares. Did anybody say booberry? Booberry. Oh yeah.

Did we get any of this season? One person said booberry and one person said Frankenberry. It's like about the anybody save fruit fruit. Count chocolate came up pretty high. Count chocolate was up there. Fruit brute.

No one even knows about fruit brew. Somebody said, or a couple of people said something called Vector, which I don't remember a serial called Vector. Maybe it got changed to rest. got changed a polygon after that and it's just kept going yeah that's weird and finally one person said i would not eat that crap yeah they were the only person to say that did you did you say

corn pops did no one say corn pops nobody said corn pops i really like corn pops personally i do too i love them yeah now people did say cocoa pops and i had to look that one up that is the uk version of Cocoa Krispies. Oh. So I did combine that one into into the Rice Krispies. I can't believe corn pops got left out of this list. I am too because those are good.

Do they still make them? Can you still get corn pops? I can't imagine it. Why not? Yeah. I think we have a box upstairs. I can't eat them. I like getting the little small bowls, a little individual bowls. Yeah. Because I'll eat those things too. What was the frog one?

What do you mean individual bowls of corn pops? They like little cups. They like, it's very expensive. Oh, really? You can actually buy like, I like, oh. They look like, it's like, it's terrible, but it's like ramen bowls. They're like instant ramen bowls. Yeah, like little ramen bowls.

Really? And it's just corn pops. I've never seen those. I've seen the little miniature boxes that come in 12 packs of, like, those are trash. It's really, you know what they do those? Yeah. You had to like cut open those and turn them into a bowl. Yeah.

Yeah, that's not possible. They make those, by the way, they only make those so that they can do something with all the special K that people aren't buying. They can put into the little boxes. that's right. I'm going to look at right now. I'm going to look at a top selling. You go down your, you go down your Aved hole and find out what a hot seller, special

K is in 2022. You go find that. At the Walmart right now is Pokemon cereal and Stranger Things cereal. Yeah. Stranger Things cereal, really. They taste like little egg of waffles or something? No, they taste like nose blood. They taste like Vecna. Yeah. If you ever have a nose

bleed, it tastes like that. It's a bad nosebleed. Well, there you. I want to see what Stranger Things Serial is, by the way. Number 14, according to Kipplinger, number 14 of the top selling cereals would be Kellogg's

special K. Redberries. Oh, Redberries. Well, that's, see, that's just, that's, that's what puts it over is the redberries. Not that garbage. I don't, I'm looking so, all right, you do a search for Stranger Things cereal, General Mills X, Stranger

Things, and you get it takes you right to Netflix where there's a commercial for General Mills Stranger Thing Cereal, but it's like all the other cereals with upside down labels or something? I cannot figure this business out. Let's see. I looked

it up on... It's Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. So are they just old cereals? Oh, they mixed them. Oh, I can't quite tell what they're doing here. I really can't figure this business out. Do you guys have like a like a local cereal bar where you can like go and like dispense cereal from like large dispensers no I'm talking about um yes I have done that like a coffee shop but for cereal yeah it's a thing

it's a weird little trend that some people are into it's not really my jam but I've been so here's what's weird so the uh cinnamon toast so the Cheerios stranger things has the Cheerios logo upside down and uh because the upside down because upside down and then there's weird text underneath the name then the cinnamon toast crunch just shows the bowl upside down but everything else looks the same oh no it has a uh why didn't they use the ego cereal by the way which is delicious right they should have gross next to the little cinnamon shaker is the uh the what you may call it the bad guy from the serious or from the first series of yeah who's jahoo series and his dog who says things yeah exactly but then the

The Lucky Charms, the only difference I can find is that the dude is holding a D20. The leprechaun is holding a D20. That's all they need. And there's Christmas lights above the Lucky Charms logo. Very nice. Well, on that note, we should go since Tom's probably waiting for us at eight minutes after the hour. Hey, so the good news is, Guac, you've won. You've won these prizes.

Congratulations. That's what Fletcher says. You're a winner. You've won, and how do you feel about your big win? On what I would actually call one of our best versions of this show or this contest we've ever done. How do you feel? Oh, sorry, I muted you. Say it again. This has been so much fun.

It's been a blast. Yeah, it's always good having you on, but today, I don't know, something special in the bowl of cereal.

No, special K. Special K. You can't even call that a Southern thing. I have Southern friends. They don't eat that. The hell's wrong with you, people. All right. We're going to take a break.

When we return, Tom Merritt will be here. And when he's here, we'll talk about tech and what's. happening in the world of tech today. But before that, we got a song and it happens to be brought to you by something. What's it brought to us by, Brian? Oh, it's brought to you by, wait, you haven't seen, dot, dot, dot, question mark, with host TV's Travis and a slew of guests. How many movies have you not seen that every one thinks that you should have by now? Well, TV's Travis is here to help.

Get, wait, you haven't seen wherever you get your podcast and look for an episode featuring me this month because I've never seen a single Halloween movie. And a single movie of Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis. You start with number one, right? You're going to watch the first one or the different one? I'm going to watch the first one because then for Film Sack, we're going to watch H20, H2O. Oh, H2O, right, the 20-year anniversary one. Okay.

Yeah. I can't remember what we decided. That's awesome. I can't believe you've never seen one of those. I've never seen any of them. I've seen so many clips that I know who Michael Myers is and that he's wearing a William Shatner mask and all that. But, you know Jamie Lee Curtis is in it.

You know all this stuff. I knew Jamie Lee Curtis was in. By the way, the episode of Love Boat that I had on the background yesterday, had Jamie Lee Curtis with long, long blonde hair. Weird. Weird. I'd love that you're still watching that. It's great. All right.

Well, that's awesome. Well done there, Travis. Tell us what song we're playing today. Yes. The song we're playing, this one was so good. I first listened to the song three times this morning as I was picking it out, which, I rarely ever do. I love this thing so much.

And then I just went on a deep dive and listened to other music by this artist. The band is called Lou and the Yakuza. It's L-O-U-S and the Yakuza. They have a brand-new live performance of their song Hiroshima. And this is great because it's French pop rap. And I love it so damn much, obviously, because I listen to it so many times. Here is Lou and the Yakuza and the song Hiroshima. You are my little bomb at me

You expose like Hiroshima You are my rave and my Cochema You me haunted like Hiroshima You are my little bomb To explode like Hiroshima You are my romever You are my rave and my cauchama

I guess I'm a pretty bomb I guess there are as many reasons for a mom and dad to break up as there are moms and dad's not now, not ever. Hey, Purdom, this is the morning stream. Bye-bye.

And we've returned. Hey, who was that again? That was a really cool song. That was Lou and the Yakuza, L-O-U-S and the Yakuza. And a song called Hiroshima. So damn good. Excellent. Yeah, your mid-songs have been really great lately.

You, I know, you'll really like this one. You finally do hear it, by the way. I will definitely check it out. All the kidding aside, you're going to love it. I will check that one out today. I always listen, but sometimes when you're adamant about it, I'll be like, it must be something about this song, and he's always right. So always listen, is what I'm saying.

Yeah, for sure. Check this out, y'all. This thing right here's happening right here. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is Tom Merritt, who is joining us a little late. Sorry, Tom. We have a really long time. Yeah, no, sorry I'm late.

I was working real hard on this. Netflix thing. And I'm glad to have the extra time, though. Oh, good. I'm glad actually to hear that. I know there is a lot going on today. And we've got guests today. We've got all kinds of stuff happening on DTNS today. No, I'm not even kidding. Like, it was perfect. Like, I was like, ah, there's no way I'm going to get through all of this before he calls. And did you do it a little extra? Wow. I got through it. I'm blown away. I love it when a plan together. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Well, good. There's a tie-in because I'm talking about Netflix stuff. Oh, good. Well, well, even better. So what is going on? I saw a couple of smatterings of things as the show was starting today, and I knew there was some announcements happening, but I don't, I don't know there. We'll go into all of it on DTNS, and we'll go into it on depth with Brian Brushwood on Cord Killers on Monday. But the top line is, after everyone decided Netflix was dead for having one bad quarter after the pandemic, whoa, Netflix isn't bad anymore.

They added 2.41 million subscribers, essentially were flat in the U.S. and Canada region, but, you know, technically added 100,000 subscribers. So they're not declining anywhere in the world. They're predicting that they're going to add 4 million plus next quarter. And they're going to keep spending at their current level, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So, I mean, this doesn't surprise me because you were going to have a bunch of people who had signed up for stuff during the lockdowns cancel stuff. And Netflix wasn't going to be immune to that.

Netflix is also saturated, a lot more competition out there. If anything is surprising, is that it bounced back a little faster. I assumed it would bounce back, but it bounced back even better. In fact, their own projection was they thought they'd add a million subscribers this quarter, and they added 2.4, so Netflix is doing really, really good. Separately from the earnings report, they announced a couple of gaming-related things. Mike Verdue at the TechRunch Disrupt Conference said that Netflix is going to explore a cloud gaming offering for TV and PC. And they have hired Chaco Sunny, a former EP of Overwatch, to run a Southern California studio related to that.

Oh, wow. I didn't hear. I heard the cloud gaming references a little bit before we started the show. I didn't realize they had tapped him. That's super interesting. Yeah, I've said since the beginning, even with their mobile games, that are actually pretty good. I don't think they're very good at advertising. We've had that whole conversation before about why they don't.

And Verdue even said, like, we're still in the early. days. We're just testing things. So yeah, that's why they're not out there advertising it a lot. Yeah. And that makes total sense to me. But back then, even, I was like, well, you know they have to be working on a cloud-based solution since their entire world is cloud-based everything. So why wouldn't think? You were right. Yeah. Turns out, simple answers come from simple people. And it was true. So that's good, I think, for them to explore that, how it'll, you know, represent itself. Will it be through the current apple it'd be some other way like i don't know nobody knows at this point but it's interesting

to hear that they're working on it did they say that um just to backtrack a little bit did they say there was a particular chunk of of original programming or something that they felt like helped them bounce back sooner than they expected yeah yeah no they they they gave credit to stranger things uh and domer um and and you know they said that they thought it was content they thought their strong content is what helped them exceed their own expectations sure sure And it's why they expect $4 million this quarter is because you've got the crown and a bunch of holiday movies and stuff like that. They even credited the gray man with their success. Oh, I'd like the gray man.

I enjoyed it. It's popcorny as hell, but I really have a good time with it. Well, that's interesting. It's not good for you. It's not. But you forget you're eating it. Yeah, you don't even know you finish the whole bag. After a while, it's like, oh, I'm out of the gray man.

The gray man is over. It's all gone. I have no more gray man left. I like more butter on my gray man, please. Well, that's interesting. So is, did they talk about, were they the ones that had the controversy over canceling? Yeah, they canceled some like big animation projects right before they were done. Was there any talk of the animation stuff or any of that?

No. Okay. That cancellation meme follows every show around and is usually visible in proportion to the passion of the fan base. So every streaming service has been canceling stuff. I think Discovery, Warner Brothers Discovery, got the most flack for canceling things

and they canceled a bunch of anime stuff. So that was the bigger deal. But yeah, Netflix isn't immune to that. And yet, it's not specific to Netflix. In fact, if anything, it's a bigger deal at HBO Max. Yeah, that's true. Well, that's, I guess, good for Netflix.

I don't know. Everybody loved to pile on a couple of months ago when prices were being raised, then they said, oh, we've lost our first, or it was the first quarter where we didn't have growth

or whatever. The games thing seemed kind of, you know, limp at the time if you didn't really understand the strategy. And everybody was like, it was like popular

to hate on Netflix that month. And now look at them. Now they're just fine. I don't know if I said it on TMS. I feel like I did say it on Cord Killers. The price, rising. You don't have companies raise prices if they think it's going to lower their revenue. You have them raise prices if they think it's going to raise their revenue. And subscribers could go

down and they raise their revenue, which happened last quarter. And I was pointing out like, look, they're not going to raise the prices so much that everyone cancels your service and you go out of business. That's just silly. And they did reduce profitability this quarter, but they raised revenue, with the raised prices and raised subscribers. So yes, individually, any one of us can say, like, that's too rich for my blood. I'm out. I'm not going to pay that. And that's perfectly reasonable.

But in general, Netflix has set a price that most people are still thinking like, gosh, but I want to watch Dommer. I want to watch Stranger Things. I want to watch The Crown and they're paying it. Did they say anything about the paid tier stuff, the ad tier? Yeah. They had previously announced before the earnings report that the new basic with ads tier, the less expensive tier will be $6.99 a month in the U.S. launching most places November 1st. Well, actually, Canada and Mexico, November 1st, and most places November 3rd. So we'll get it in the U.S. November 3rd. They don't expect that to materially increase subscriber numbers. They said, this is just a supplemental piece of income. It'll grow slowly. So this is not something where they're thinking like, this will save us. In fact, they seem to think they don't need saving that they're doing quite well.

It feels like their strategy overall to take your time with your big moves. Like, don't do any sudden moves, you know. Yeah, yeah. Seems interesting. Well, we'll talk about that and way more on the show today. It'll be a packed show, it looks like, from what I can tell. So there's a lot going on if you want to check that out. That's at 2 o'clock mountain time today.

So make sure you do. And subscribe to the Daily Tech News show if you haven't already. Tom, is there anything else going on that you'd like to talk about? Oh, wait, don't forget on Daily Tech News show today. you're going to be talking with me with Jerry Ellsworth from Tilt 5 if you're into augmented reality board games

you don't want to miss this Tilt 5 is an augmented reality board game system that Jerry's been working on at least five years I think longer so she's going to come on and talk about that and the ways you can play Settlers of Catan

with holograms Wow Yeah it's kind of the future of that stuff So, you know, five years is one thing, but we've seen so much innovation in those five years in that particular space, like just even with phones and things. Yeah. I'll bet she's stoked about where things are headed. Well, and I think what Tilt V's got going for it is it's doing a single thing. It's not trying to be a headset you use for the entire world.

It's saying, let's use what augmented reality is good for now and do something with it. and it seems to work really well. Yeah, and let it grow. That's awesome. So that'll be later today and do check that out. It's Tom Merritt, everybody. You know him as Ace Detect on Twitter. If you're not already following him, go do that.

Tom, thanks for hanging out with us. You bet. And we'll see you next time. Let's see you, Tom. Bye, Thomas. All right. Thomas was my father's name. What did you say that name?

Thomas Wayne. It'd be great if Thomas Wayne was the same name that, I mean, Superman would have to have. Thomas Kent. Thomas Kent. What is his name? What is Kent's name? His name is Pa.

Pa, Ken. Was he have a real name? He has a name? Yeah, I'm sure he had a real name. I can't remember what it was. Kevin Costner. Jonathan. That's it.

Jonathan, that's right. All right. There you go. There's that now. Time for Recommendals. Hold on. It's a bit of an ordeal. I've got to add a bunch of names here.

Okay. There's one. We got that. Okay. Then we got this one. Oh, no. One of the codes that I send Guacamar is invalid. Oh, no.

Oh, who knows for Command and Conquer? Oh, the good one. The good one. Did you give that one away and forget to cross it off? No, I never. I didn't either. That would have been one I would have kifed and taken. Did you kife it and forget to cross it up?

No, I don't have it. I want it, but I don't have it. All right. Yeah, we'll figure it out. We'll figure something out for you. Those are weird. We'll get you another one. All right, check it out, y'all.

It's time for this right here. Where is it? Right here. Time to do Recommendals. A chance for us to talk about stuff Speaking of Netflix. Things we've seen on streaming services

and want to share with you fine folks at home. Joining us, Nicole Spagg. Hello, Nicole. Hi, I'm sorry. I got way too much going on. You're busy. You got a lot happening.

I get it. Before I forget, because I got too much on the brain. Happy anniversary to my wonderful husband. Oh. Oh, 19 years. That's a lot. Wow.

Wow. We've only got 11 on you. So good. You have a lot to look forward to. That's awesome, though. Congratulations. We were engaged for two. Gotcha.

That's great. That's a good test period. Make sure everything's working out okay, you know? Yeah. Turns out Nicole. We were just broken. We had to pay for the wedding ourselves. Nicole likes special K.

I'm out of here. Anyway, that's a throwback, folks. Also with this Randy Jordan. Hello, Randy. AKA Randy Deluxe. What are you doing? Good morning, morning stream. I'm doing great. I had over nine hours of sleep last night. I've had three cups of coffee this morning. It is going to, there's a heat wave in Southern California. It's going to be like 91 Fahrenheit, which is like, what's that, 33C today? You know, hottest year of our lives. I can't wait to go talk about that on Nextdoor.com later today. Very nice. My neighbors love to talk about how climate change isn't real. Yeah, yeah. They're the best. We're only about 68. here today as a high and it's beautiful wonderful i can wear a long sleeve shirt and walk in

the sun oh man i'm so excited anyway hottest year of your life but coldest year of the rest of your life there you go that's a good way to put in uh we're gonna get right to it and start with brian's recommendation uh any set up here brian uh you're listening to somebody at a at their new job as a telemarketer getting some suggestions from uh from danny glover oh i'll tell you right now Danny Glover is the other voice you're getting here in this clip. All right, here we go. Hey, Mr. D. Emmett's

Cache's screen here. Sorry to bother you. I just... Hey, young blood. Hold on. Let me give you two. Use your white voice. My white voice?

Yeah. And I've got no. White voice. Oh, come on, you know what I mean, young blood. You have a white voice in there. You can use it. It's like when you pulled over by the police. Oh, no, I just use my regular voice when that happens.

I just say, back the fuck up off the car and don't nobody get up. All right, man, I'm just trying to give you some game. You want to make some money here? Then read the script with a white voice. When people say I talk with a white voice anyway, so why ain't it helping me out? Well, you don't talk white enough. White enough. I'm not talking about Will Smith's wife. Anyway, this is proper.

I'm talking about the real deal. Like this young boy. Hey, Mr. Kramer. This is Langston from Regalview. I didn't catch you at the wrong time, did I? That's not really him doing that, is it? No, that was, I think

that one was Steve Bishemi doing that voice. That one's uncredited. But that movie is called Sorry to Bother You. And this is great. This is on Netflix. It is the story of Cassius, played by Lekeith Stanfield, who you know from things like Selma, get out,

straight out of Compton, Judas and the Black Messiah. He got the best supporting actor nomination for that, knives out, uncut gems, harder they fall. He's in all those things. He's so great. In Atlanta, he's one of the three main characters or four main characters in Atlanta. So he's worked with two glovers now. Oh, yeah, a double glover. That's awesome.

A double glover. Yeah. He, so he's this telemarketer starting out this company, learning how to use his white voice. By the way, his later white voice turns out to be David Cross. Oh, my gosh, dude. That makes sense. That's great. David Cross has made a career out of having a white voice.

That's great. But you also hear Pat and Oswald providing another white voice to another character in this place. Pat Nosswald, no way. He doesn't get any work. He's not in anything anymore. I know, that poor guy. I wish he'd finally get something. Sure.

This is, it's a dark comedy. You've also got Stephen Yoon from Walking Dead, Army Hammer, and this. And his girlfriend played by Tessa Thompson. Oh, I like her. Yeah. Is this before Army Hammer got in all his trouble? Must be. I think so, because this movie came out in 2018.

And I didn't hear about it until recently. The director is Boots Riley, who's a musician. frontman for the band The Coup and the Street Sweeper Social Club. This is the only current project, directing project and writing project that Boots has gotten, but apparently he's working on something else, a series that's going to be coming up. This has such a eternal sunshine of the spotless mind kind of feel to it. Oh, wow. This kind of otherworldly delivery where you've got this kind of mundane existence that is superseded by these, this weird other event.

Even a little bit of, oh, why am I forgetting the name of the Adam Scott series we all loved and watched this year? Severance. It's got a little bit of a severance kind of thing going on too. Um, this kind of darker thing going on in the telemarketing company that you later find out. Um, it's excellent. It's really, really good. You know, Mark worked at a telemarketing company. Oh, yeah? I did that. I did for a while as a kid. Yeah, for a summer. I think, I don't think he lasts very long. Yeah. He lasts like a day. I hated. Oh, really? It was my least favorite job I ever had. I freaking hated it every second of it. So, so horrible. The way that they, they, they show you, visually show you the telemarketing is great because. Cassius actually drops down into these people's kitchens or wherever they are when they answer the phone and starts talking to them and then drops out when they hang up the phone on them. Really, really good. Anyway, this is so, so good. It's called Sorry to Bother You.

It's on Netflix. Like you said, Lee Keith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson. Terry Cruz also in this thing. Pat Nosswell, David Cross, Danny Glover. I've been seeing some really good Tessa Thompson news lately. Like I guess Westworld went okay. I kind of couldn't follow it after the first season.

But like she, you know, they're making another Creed movie and it's getting like really good buzz. Yeah, Creed 3 has got, what's his name in it? Michael B. Jordan. No, no, not him.

I mean, he's in it obviously, but it's the other guy. The guy from, oh, oh, I love him and I can't think. He was in, he was in the Loki. It was the guy at the end.

Oh, yes. John David Washington. Jonathan Majors. Jonathan Majors. That guy compels. A lovecraft country. Yeah. He's compelling as hell.

I really like him. He is so good. But Tessa Thompson is just such a rising star the last like, I don't know, 10 years. It's amazing. Yeah, she's had a quick rise. And she's great. I really like her. She is great.

Absolutely. And I think West World. Yeah. And I think West World was fine, by the way, for the last. I think season two had some trouble. Three was okay. I guess four is the one that just finished. I haven't seen yet, but it's fine.

So overall, though, is this unsettling this movie? It is. It's, that's kind of a good comparison, or one of the comparisons that I had with Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind. Even though you get a wrap-up, you know, you get things tied up. There's still this unsettling bit to it like you had with that one. And there is definitely a nod to Michael Gondry who directed Eternal Sunshine, before I realized Boots Riley

was the director of this I was watching and I thought oh my God I bet Michael Gondry is actually the director of this. There's a film within a film that is accredited in the film credited to somebody named Michael Dongry and I'm sure that that's

the nod to Michael Gondry that you would have to be. Yeah if it's not I would feel ripped off that has to be a reference. There was there was some news like in variety or something recently about Boots Riley's next thing. He apparently has written a TV series.

Yeah. And I've just like, it just caught my attention because it's like, all it said was TV series is called I'm a Virgo. Right. And stars Jarrell Jerome. And it's about a very, very tall man, like a man who's taller than any human has ever been. Okay. That's the, I love it. That's the premise.

wow yeah that's fantastic all right cool excellent uh there you go so once again uh sorry to bother you on uh netflix and uh um people in the chat room who've watched it are all like oh this is such a good film and i saw this before the pandemic and blah blah blah so now it's hitting me what it is i remember jury raven about this i had to see the poster though to finally click it's the big yellow and purple and now i see it now i remember and i remember at the time everybody was raven and then i forgot all about it so i'm glad you brought it well now you can watch it on Netflix. Excellent.

Moving on over to Nicole. Nicole, I've got a link here to play. Do you want to set this up at all? I know you're excited about this one. Well, I recommended it before. I think the last time I recommend it

was probably two years ago, but it is become a yearly tradition. And I just assume everybody knows about it, but then on Twitter I'll see somebody go, hey, can you recommend? I don't really like scary, but I like Halloween and just a little bit scary not gore so i watched this with the kids it's there's it's it's wonderful it's my daughter's

my daughter's favorite run of anything she loves this wow yeah and it may have i can't remember if she got it from your recommendation originally or if she just saw it on her own but they were watching it the other night her and her friend i see christine fletcher's ears turning red so you better get to the clip yeah we better play before fletcher loses it here we go uh oh it's not playing A, hey, Wurt, want to learn some rock facts? Did you know that if you soak raisin and grape juice, it turns into a grape? It's a rock fact. Did you know that dinosaurs had big ears, but everyone forgot because dinosaur ears don't have bones?

No, I didn't know that, Greg. That's because it's not true. It's a rock fact. I'm sorry, Wirt. No, no, Greg. You could stop it. Okay, well on it's my fault. So I'm hearing.

It's just a bunch of clips. I hear Frodo there talking. Yeah, you heard Frodo. Yeah. And so this is called Over the Garden Wall, and it's streaming on HBO Map. And it's a series, how many episodes, I think, eight or ten, something like that? Very short. And they're short.

Yeah, so the kids and I will, we take the evening as we're winding down and watch two or three episodes. And it's about Wirt, and what was his brother's name? I just forgot it. Greg. Greg. And they are lost in the woods, and they're in this weird, unknown place, and they're happening upon, you know, each little episode is a story about this area and who they're encountering, and, you know, the overarching, you know, story plot is they're trying to get home.

And so you're slowly unraveling what's happening because it's a little confusing at first and it's meant to be. So I love it. The kids love it. We watch it every Halloween season, fall season. It's perfect. So perfect. Yeah. It's a wonderful little show that I still haven't seen.

I don't know what my problem is. I just need to do it. Potatoes and molasses. I've also never heard of this. Would you compare it to like Stephen Universe or Gravity? Falls. Gravity Falls, people talk about gravity falls a lot in the same. It has gravity falls vibes.

Yeah. Okay. I hear that a lot. Yes. If you're missing Gravity Falls and you're looking for a wonderful fall, fuky Halloween show, this is right up your alley. Guys got a cool, he's got a cool background. The creator of this, Patrick Nolan McHale, he did, he was a storyboard artist for the marvelous and misadventures of Flapjack, which was, I loved that thing.

he also did let's see worked with pendleton ward on developing adventure time um so the guy's got chops and then this was like his big thing this goes all the way back this was 2014 that this came out oh wow i can't believe it's been that long that's crazy anyway yeah and i think it i found it from an article a couple years ago that was saying how it has become like a Halloween cult classic like a must watch every holiday And for us, it has, and it's wonderful. I love it. So I'm going to be really, yeah, I don't know if they're going to, it's a cartoon network production.

So I don't know how long it will live on HBO. Yeah. I think I even bought it on Amazon Prime because I don't think at the time it was on HBO. Well, here's some good news. In 2017, I guess this all has happened since because it's about to come out. But Guillermo del Toro announced that Mikhail would be co-writing the script to his stop motion adaptation of Nokia, which is almost done. So that, that gets me excited.

It was done. Oh, no. No, that's the Sony. Yeah, this, the Disney plus one, nobody, nobody really likes that one very much. I don't, I just watched the trailer and I was like, oh. It's unfortunate because it's Rob Zemeckis, who I love Robert Zemeckis movies, but I don't know. That looks bad.

But this looks amazing. And then Netflix announced last year, he's working on something, or their adaptation of some novel called Redwall that's supposed to be really. interesting. So yeah, I still got cool stuff coming, but you're never, I don't think you're going to get your over the wall too or a subsequent series is my guess. Probably not. You mean like over the garden wall too? Yeah. I don't think that's happening. No, no, no. They wrap it up. It's nice. It's just, oh, I mean, it's to me a little movie just separated into easily watchable episodes. And if you have kids, it's perfect because you were like, oh, we'll

watch three episodes and then we'll continue it tomorrow. Right. Well, it's, uh, The reminder for Christine and those like her out there, this is over the garden wall and available right now on HBO Max. I went to the IMDB page for this thing and I always go to the other things you should watch. And it's different for everybody for some reason. Sure. For me on that IMDB page right now, it says there's four things that I should also watch. Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, regular show, which is another animated thing like this. and for your eyes only starring roger more really what a weird uh people also like yeah you know

all machine learning is made equal i guess some stuff is real dumb exactly that's amazing like parallel parking cheese sandwiches that's right and a quick kick in the butt uh so this is for you christine shit out of luck dot com go to shit out of luck dot com and uh check out this thing all right uh well done hey hey rock fat nice randy What do you bring here? What do you want me to play? So I brought a genre of something that I really look forward to, but we never talk about this on recommendals.

And I think the reason we never talk about this is because it's a little more personal from person to person what in this genre you like and don't like. But I want to talk about it because this is a new entry in the genre. And you're going to immediately know who and what this is, you start playing it, and it was really, really good. So it's just, you know, just net play. I like it. Here we go. Thank you all so much for coming out tonight.

Hey, I broke my foot. Yeah. That's how I started my year. I broke my foot. It took two. It happened in two parts. The second part was I slipped off a curb and I landed wrong. That was the second part.

The first and most important part was I turned 53. that is the crucial part i you turn once you get past 50 everything's fatal i when i was in my 20s i would walk into propellers and put some back teen on it i was fine and now if a pine cone falls near me my spine implodes i don't know what i assume this is the new uh this his new special on netflix yeah it's the new patten oswald and uh i I've been thinking a lot about, you know, as a fan of stand-up comedy, which goes back to me stealing a bunch of my brother's cassettes when he went to college. You know, like, seriously, I start listening to things that I was way too young to listen to, like Eddie Murphy's first album. And as a fan of stand-up comedy, like, I really still find it personal.

Even though I listen to, I go and consume as much of it as I can, I still feel like I don't really have people tell me you should watch this very much for something about stand-up, right? It's just like there's there that prevents us from feeling like if we love something, everyone's going to love it. But in the case of Patton Oswald, I think we can get there. You know, like, he is just down the middle, average, very good, right? He's, anyway, this new special of his is nothing new for him. It's exactly his kind of, you know, pretend stream of consciousness. There is a moment in this, a whole segment in this, where he does some audience work, which is kind of unusual for him.

He just suddenly starts talking to the people in the front row. And it's kind of, it's kind of special. It works out for him. am i remembering did he do a do a stand-up show at liscon yes oh yeah he did miss con 2008 oh my god i was thinking yeah that's what i mean he did he host like contests and everything or just do this the costume thing yeah he must have because that's what they did he was the feature comic at 2008 okay and uh i think i missed that year because i'm bummed i totally would have loved to have seen him yeah and he um he got into a a bit

It requires a certain amount of time, and he got into an argument with the stage management because they had a really set firm time for him to come off stage, and he wasn't coming off stage. And so he said he would never do BlissCon again, which is too bad because he was really good. Yeah, I liked him better than Jay Moore, but Jay Moore kept showing up like a bad Zit. He was there all the time. Yeah, Jay Moore would do exactly what they asked him to do. Patton is he's kind of venturing

as you heard a little bit into the I'm getting old sort of comedy but he's really got a lot of different things to talk about and observe and it's just good it's good from beginning to end it's one of those specials that

I feel like back in the 90s you would have people say hey come over to my house because I've got HBO there's a new you know there's a new special comedy special that we're going to watch and that's sort of stopped. No one really ever does that anymore.

So I'm telling you you should do that. You should tell people when you see a comedy special that's as good as this one and go watch it. All right. I'm a Boswold fan, so I'm in. I like it. Also, he's going to be in Irvine next week. And I try, man, I really try to get tickets. But the cost of it for a weekday night, it's just a little too rich for my blood.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure, well, I assume his ticket prices are also ridiculous, right? They're like, what, a couple hundred bucks, 150 bucks, something like that? I was looking at 300 total for a four top. Wow. And what the problem, like, I'm actually willing to spend that. Like, Patton is that good to me. But then I got to find two other adults to go on a weekday night.

And it's just, I don't know, like, that's the point where I was like, no, never mind. Yeah. Yeah. it adds up and plus you know life life gets in the way yeah all right well so there you go it's the what's the full name of the thing patten oswald we all scream we all scream on netflix all right here's mine everybody uh this is uh one that i saw on shutter again because i'm all into the Halloween right now and uh i've talked about this a little bit here gotta take advantage of that 30 day uh subscription yeah i might actually say stubbed subbed because

I'm really finding some cool stuff. And I keep hearing the series, their original series, like their reality series stuff or their docu series are supposed to be really good. I just haven't gotten around any of it. Might have to add a shutter icon to quicktms.l. Because I've been holding off until the year of this book.

And I just type in on shutter. On shutter. Yeah. Thinking it might be just October of this year and then we're done with it. But who knows? Anyway, here it is. This is my clip of a thing I've been talking about here and there.

So some of you may have heard me say it. Here it is. I've had the nervous poops all week. But no matter what happens to me, I am committed to bringing you the most cinematic experience in live streaming. I've got my livid bracelet right here, so when I flick my wrist,

this will cut back and forth from my selfie cam to my POV cam. Now this next part is called protecting me from myself. I need to remove any temptation of an easy exit. exit. I know me. Way too well. All right. This is called Deadstream. And it is made of things that would normally irritate me. But because the people involved, people involved know what they're doing and they understand internet culture as it currently constituted, they don't fake it. It feels legit. And so I think that's the number one selling point of Deadstream, which is currently streaming on Netflix.

Get out of luck.com. Anyway, it's here's the, here's the description, okay? And I'll just do the one that IMDB gives it because I think it's apropos. It says, A disgraced internet personality

attempts to win back his followers by live streaming one night alone in a haunted house, but when he accidentally pisses off a vengeful spirit, his big comeback event becomes a real-time fight for his life. That basically sums it up.

What it doesn't tell you, well, so let me back up a little bit. This is directed and starring this guy named Joseph Winter. It is co-directed by his wife, Vanessa Winter, directed and written by her, and this Joseph Winter guy plays this character Sean Ruddy, who is, as mentioned earlier, a totally like disgraced YouTuber type. He pissed off some people, did some really racially insensitive things, like felt very,

like this happens all the time. So it felt real, that part of it. And so he does this live stream on a site called, whatever he called it, that's not Twitch, but it's basically that. They just couldn't use the name. and uh sir guy it's making me think of him yeah there's a little bit like that anyway he goes he goes to this place turns out he's in pace in utah just like 30 minutes that way um and i guess this house is actually in there so they filmed it here i didn't hear about any of this until i watched the movie

kind of want to go out there and look at it but anyway it's this nasty old house built in the 1800s and and he's in there and he's live streaming everything he's got gopros he puts them up in different rooms he puts one on his head like he said he puts one that's facing him and he's got a tablet with him that will switch cameras based on sound alerts. So if there's any noise in a room, it'll switch cameras in the live stream chat room. We'll see all of this happening.

And he's got like 20,000 people watching him for this live event. Anyway, things go real bad because it turns out the ghost are real. Now, that doesn't give anything away. It doesn't give anything away. But what I want to say about it is this is what makes it unique. It's not straight horror.

It has horror elements for sure. you know there's a someone loses a hand and there's some really gross looking monster things and all this but it's not like overtly violent or anything and he's kind of on his own most of the time i don't want to spoil a couple of things but he's basically on his own it's funny it's really legitimately like laugh out loud and giggle funny and that's hard i think for what this is where what this supposed to be i think that's really hard to pull off and he pulls it off and the comparison I'm going to make here is like early Sam Ramey, like Evil Dead one and two, Army of Darkness, that era of his filmmaking where, yes, it's intense and it's horror-based, but it's also kind of

hilarious what's happening and so over the top that you can't help but smile all the time and this sort of thing. That is what this is and it's really well done. It's highly revered on the shutter.com's got full five stars for all the user reviews. And they do user reviews there on like Netflix and stuff. And I can't remember some big, Stephen King or somebody was like, this is my favorite thing I've seen and blah, blah, blah, you know, whatever.

But it's a shutter original. So you can only get it there or AMC plus, which I guess means the parent company is the same. We'll link to AMC. You can direct link to things on AMC. Well, you can do that either way. It's just that Brian has to make an icon. I don't know if he has an AMC place.

No, I don't have to make an icon to do a link, but I can't link to things on shutter. Oh, right. You can't direct link. Oh, I'm misunderstanding. that you can't do direct links at all unless it's uh it wants it just wants to take you to shutter com or google ad services shutter dot com but i can do amc plus yep uh dead stream yeah do that okay so yeah amc plus has it so anyway dead stream highly recommend it i don't love found footage

style movies that try to be humorous this one pulls it off i like found footage movies that are done really well with good acting that pulls it off it just is a good time it's skis scary at the same time yet funny it's feature film length oh yeah well it's an hour and a half yeah so 90 minutes um it's amazing how they always find 90 minutes of found footage right isn't that crazy totally crazy um but i had really good time with it and also if you if you can handle the horror elements this thing's like pg 13 at best on the other side of things there's hardly any swearing in fact it's funny because he's trying not to he's trying not to get demonetized and deplatformed again because of his past mistakes on youtube or whatever so he keeps like

something will scare me to go, shh, like he'll change the word. And they'll say, please don't demonetized me. Please don't, please don't de-platform me. Like,

he's trying to do his best to, like, make this comeback happen and hilarity ensues. It's very, very good. I'm looking at this Joseph Winter guy, and he looks like every other TikToker right now. Yes.

Yes. That's the other thing. They pull that part of this off so hard that he just, I don't know if it wasn't so, if it wasn't so obvious that this is a move, you would think that dude's some influence or somewhere and he understands that culture so well he's of the right age and all that sort of stuff i think that he just it just comes off without a hitch it's really great so highly recommend it dead stream available now wherever it gets your shutter or your

mc plus thank you something else for me to watch alone that's right yeah yeah i watched it alone mc plus because of uh he need to get back to uh kevin keneff himself for the final season you still have Are you still subbed then? You can just turn it on a new time. I'm subbed until not even the end of this month, like I think another week. But I'm not going to get through all of Kevin Keneff himself in a week. So I'll probably do one more month. There you go.

So there you have it. There's our list. If you want to see what Brian's been plugging into the website, it's over at quicktm.s.coms. L.I. You can find it there. And of course, Nicole and Randy tend to put these things on their social accounts as well. Nicole Spagg on Twitter.

I'm just asking you to watch a nightmare on Elm Street Part 3, Dream Warriors, and see us on FilmSack. Oh, yeah, this weekend. That's right. That's our, and by the way, I did get it wrong.

She goes hard. She did those Among Us ones last year. Remember that?

Yes. That was pretty cool. Plus it kept him COVID free. It felt like. Right. Exactly. It's both the hazmat suit and a Halloween costume. That's right. They were both suss and safe. The two S's name. Well done. Hey, quick email from a listener here. Send and receive email. The morning stream at gmail.com. This is from Dan. I also want to

thank Anthony, who sent in a similar email about this. I found a couple of news articles about why Turkey are going up. It turns out it's more than just greed. There was a rash of bird flu a month or two ago. Required a ton of culling of flocks, meaning hundreds of thousands, if not millions of turkeys killed because they got the bird flu. Because turkeys are dicks and they refuse to get their flu shot is the problem. That's really what it is.

You know what it is? It's that weird, fleshy, red thingy hanging down on their face. The waddle? Yeah. The waddle is the problem? Yeah, I don't trust those. Does anyone eat that for Thanksgiving to eat the walt? waddle? I don't think you can't. I mean, they usually cut the whole head off, the turkey, so you don't

get the waddle, but, uh, or the gobbler. Is that what is? I thought it was the waddle. I thought it was the waddle as well. It's not the wall. There was the whole, there was a whole episode of Ellie McBeal that talked about the waddle. I would eat a, oh, this is funny. Last night, did they have waddle jerky? Maybe they have a waddle jerky. Or gobbler jerky or whatever. Um, last night, Carter said for a thousand dollars, if I ate, a whole clove of garlic raw and with all the papery wrapping that they grow with, just the, you know, like pulled off of the stock. If I ate that whole thing, not cutting it up, I had to eat it like an apple. And I ate the whole thing and swallowed it. She paid me a thousand

dollars. Oh. Now I didn't do it because two reasons. One, that sounds horrible, but also two, I'm not going to take my kids savings. Okay. Yeah, my first thing would be, all right, let me see the thousand dollars first. Let's see that. Yeah, put it on the table before I even consider this. And what's this going to do to your ability to move out or to... Yeah, exactly. How's that going to work? To support yourself in the future.

She's leaving to go to on her art thing to Iceland in like a week and a half. And I think she just wants me to do weird stuff before she leaves. I don't know. Like, I wasn't going to... A whole bulb, not a clove. The bulb of garlic is what's made up of the individual cloves. Yeah, a clove is like a little slice. It's one little slice, yeah.

Like, kind of like an orange, right, where they put the... Right, the segment. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So you were talking about eating an entire bulb. Oh, yeah. A bulb unwrapped, like whatever that onion skinny stuff that's around the outside. I had to eat all that, the stock of it, all of it.

But I didn't do it. Anyway, thank you, Dan, for that. And also, just a reminder, I lied, play retro's tonight. Okay. I screwed up. I knew about her birthday. I just forgot. So that's why I was promoting it.

Actually, he, you know what? He promoted it with me on Monday and forgot. Sure. And he forgot his own wife's birthday.

It's one of my favorite things he ever said. So good, yes. I feel like that's when he birthed his, his freaking talent for this. Right, exactly. It was that weird, like, almost non-sequitur, like stuff from every direction. I can't replicate it. I don't know how to do it. I'm in awe of it.

He pisses me off. He's so good at him. I will never even try, and I'm always so glad he goes first and Randy has to follow him. And I don't. Yep. No one wants to be after. Not the Randy's aren't great, but I can't follow Brian Dunaway's amazing intro. They're really good.
