This is the morning stream. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's Monday, October 24th, 2020. One week, 8, uh, 2. 2020. Yeah, we're one week from Halloween. Woo-hoo.

That's right. Exactly seven days away. Yeah. Are you, so what are you going to do, Brian? Are you going to dress up this year? I'm going to dress up and, uh, you're going to dress up and, uh, You'll just have to wait and see what I'm going to be. Okay.

I think I will too for TMS that day. I don't care about the rest of the day. Well, I'm going to dress up to throw candy at kids, but I'm, you know, I might, my costume is so easy to take off and put back on. It's like, yeah, I'll do TMS, take the costume off. Although it would kind of be fun to drive for Lyft that day. Yeah, lift and a costume. Sure.

I was just going to say. you should lift in a costume. You absolutely should. I don't know what that costume should be, but you should do it. Now, when the kids arrive, here's my plan. Here's my impression of what I'll be doing. Here's what I'll be doing.

I'll be sitting on the couch next to Kim. And when the doorbell goes, Bing, Bong, I'll look up from my steam deck and say, you want to get that? That's how that's Thanksgiving at the old Johnson House. Yeah. Thanksgiving, Halloween. That's how I hand.

It's also Thanksgiving at the old Johnson. Yeah. It is kind of. It's weird, though. This is going to be the first year, let's see. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Day after Halloween, Tuesday, Carter leaves for her two-month thing. Oh, right.

So she's gone. So that's weird. So we'll be empty nesters again for the holidays, really. Interesting. Because she doesn't get home until, like, the first. Yeah, it's weird. So that's all happening soon. She in the chat today, I don't know.

I know she's nervous, but she's excited. I'm excited and nervous for her. Oh, my God. She's going to have such a great time. Yeah, it'll be great. Iceland will welcome her. with open, transparent arms. For sure.

I think I'm going to give, you know, just cleaning out the basement here, I think I'm going to give kids USB cables for Halloween. That's going to be what we're going to hand out. It's the thing you have the most of, right? That's what I think. Yeah, exactly. It's like, you know, would you like, how about USB cables and a four-year-old Japanese Kit Katz?

Would you like some of those kids? Yeah, or some hot red ball things that you got in your little bowl there. You could give them those. Oh, no, no, no. Those are for you. My atomic fireballs are for me. even Tina can't take those Are you kidding me?

No, no she can't Plus they're too hot for Brain These atomic fireballs Hurt my mouth They're too hot Bride They're too hot

We had I'm getting jump into this Because of that So we can change the order If that's all right But we did Had a Denver Tadpool Meetup yesterday

At Anderson Farms Oh how'd that go And it went really well So let me first Just talk about Denver weird weather get there it's like 70 something degrees it's sunny it's gorgeous I'm gonna leave my jacket in the car we go and we get our fire pit I bought a fire pit for the for the Denver tadpole like basically rent a fire pit for four hours oh that's cool it's so cool we made

s'mores we sat around we were talking and then uh then we go you know like uh go do uh the corn maze and that was awesome you know trying to make our way through that and then clouds roll in and it's like all of a sudden it looks like it's going to downpour on us like dark and these clouds just came in over the course of like 20 minutes watching come from the from the mountains just come in and make everything dark so we went under a little shelter hung out there for a little while and then boom sunny again like hey everybody what are you doing out what are you doing under there it's sunny out so we went back over but similar situation here but it was we ended up with snow did you guys get snow overnight or any of that no snow here but i saw

your photos of uh so i know it's coming right when you get when you get weather we usually get your and if you get weather i feel the same way it's like oh shit it's coming it's coming left instead of right yeah right well that's cool so what so any any uh anybody jump out of a corn maze which by the way corn maze in indigenous americans is just corn corn corn corn right just in a reminder every year we'd like to remind people. But anyway, how else do the rest of that go? It sounds like fun. When fun, we watched some pumpkin chunkin,

which is where they launch pumpkins into the air to see how far they can get them to go. And there was a petting zoo and, oh, really good food. It's really cool then. Like, if you're in the Denver area and you haven't been to Anderson Farms, you should check it out because it's really, really cool. Remind me, when they do the chunkin,

is it like Trebouchet-style launching? This one was like a hydraulic. like a big hydraulic tube and it just flung that thing but usually yeah you see catapults and trebushes and things like that but that's cool it just

it just fires it out and we came up with the idea that maybe they should fire those into the corn maze for just one extra level of danger with the corn maze you'll never see it you'll never see it coming

but it'll just be like you know all of a sudden pumpkin takes out part of your family they could be scary man big old fat pumpkins that hit the ground real hard? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, that would absolutely put somebody in the hospital because

the height that they were getting from those pumpkins with the hydraulic deal was absolutely nuts. You would be, you would constantly be watching the skies while you're going through this corn maze. Nice. The night before, we had a meetup

with a woman here named Stephanie and she's temporarily here in Denver. She's leaving, she would actually be leaving today or tomorrow, but she's been in Denver for the last 11 weeks, working at the water, the aqua treadmill place that we took our dog to. So there's a therapy you can give to dogs who are having problems where they walk in a treadmill filled with water up to their haunches, and it builds their muscles and things like that.

I've seen that before. Is that to also calm them down or something, or is that just a physical? It kind of does, yeah, but it also, the buoyancy makes it so there's not as much weight on their legs so you can you can get them to build up their muscles for a lot longer than you could with the impact of their feet hitting the ground if they're heavier dogs but uh she's been out here for the last you know almost three months and we finally get a chance to to hang out with her when went to a vegan place that was awesome called vital root holy cow this place was great really what you had vegan chicken bond me bon me tacos so what is the what is the replacement is

that like some kind of flavored up tofu or something? Some sort of plant-based, plant-based, like beyond chicken, basically. So I don't know. I'm guessing it was, it's like a tofu or a soy or something like that. But it was even a little bit like deep-fried crispy, probably not fried in oil, because that would be bad. But it was crispy, and then there were all the other bond-me ingredients in there. And it was, oh, it was just so good.

So, Tina are like, yeah, we're going back. I mean, yeah, it's vegan, and we're going to be the only people in there who had a burger the night before, but we're totally going. Why not? I love good. When vegan food's good, there's no denying, it's good. It's fantastic. Tina had a sunflower risotto that was excellent. It'd be funny if they cooked the fake chick, the tofu chicken in beef fat.

That'd be funny. That'd be great, yes. They'd have to disclose that, I would guess, you know. Yeah, I think they would for sure. But, no, we just had such a lovely time with her, and we're so totally bummed that we got. her, you know, got time with her on the way out of town as opposed to the way into town where we could have spent some more time hanging out with her. But she's a listener, I assume.

She's a listener and she is, uh, she's committed to coming out to TMS Vegas next year. So we'll get a chance to, you'll get a chance to meet her then. Very nice. She's wonderful. I look forward to seeing this, this Stephanie, another Stephanie among the Stephens. Another, like we needed another Stephanie. Right. Does this one hate mobile games as well?

Or is she okay with mobile games? he's okay with mobile games thank goodness all right so not all stephanies hashtag not all stephanies battle of the mobile game stephanies will be uh at uh thunder dome tms Vegas 2023 so I had something funny happen this weekend that was entirely weird and and you were involved somehow it weirded me out because I couldn't say all right let me back up I'm playing overwatch two really into it right now it's very good and I'm in there and a player recognizes the name GERP and he's on my team randomly. I'm just playing solo and I'm playing with Randos and this guy is just randomly on my team and he goes,

he's on voice and he goes, hey, is this the Gurp from like, you know, the instance and like frog pants stuff and all that? And I go, yeah, it's totally me. Hi, who's this? And he, I don't remember even his name. He told me his name and he said, so he'll be listening to this. I feel bad. I don't remember your name, dude.

But he says, oh, dude, I'm the biggest TMS fan. I love that show so much. I'm so happy. If you didn't have TMS when the instance ended, I don't know what I'd do. And I love it. I said, oh, that's really nice.

And he goes, you and Ryan are just killing it on there. I just love everything you do. And then later he's, and I thought, oh, he just flubbed that one time or I heard it weird or it flitched. You know,

because I'm in a game. But then later he kept calling you, Ryan. It's like, so when you and Ryan are like doing the show in the morning, I'm usually not there. I can't be there alive, so I listen later. But man, the stories that you and Ryan tell each other.

And I'm just like, Should I tell him? Should I tell him? I don't want to tell him. No, no. Let him live with it. So does he listen to a film sack with you, me, Ryan, and Andy? Yeah, Andy.

The other Ryan, we have two Ryans. Two Ryan's on that show. Yeah, a Skitch Jansston there as well. Yeah, I felt like saying, are you sure you're a huge fan of TMS? Because it feels like maybe you don't know who Brian is. I mean, how often do you say my name on this show? You say at the very beginning, but we're talking to each. other the whole time so it's not like you need to get my attention over somebody else i don't know it feels

like i say brian a lot i could be wrong it should be yeah but if but he was so excited i couldn't i couldn't take him down a notch i wanted him to feel what he was feeling yeah oh yeah yeah absolutely and we won that game that's the other thing is we won and we've oh nice yeah and we friended each other in game and so we'll play together some time and dude out there i'm sorry i forgot your name if you want to send it in it i can do it but uh anyway ryan keep it up ryan i bit you're doing great Wes in our chat room goes by Burgess Diesel in the chat. He's one of the people who came to the meetup yesterday, and he was telling me about, this is related to that Ryan thing,

was telling us about a recent episode of Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade, where they had Chevy Chase on. And they were chatting about the 90s group and talked about Phil Hartman. And Chevy Chase goes, oh yeah i love phil man what's he doing these days oh shit it was like up to dana and david to be like uh well uh did he not did he really not know is he joccing around does he did he really did not know that uh phil hartland or did not either either that or he was you know he was just like i don't remember phil oh yeah phil sure phil oh phil sure how phil great yeah yeah that's an

unfortunate one there damn dude yeah he apparently he uh Chevy has had some health issues recently and had some memory loss or something. Yeah, some cognitive stuff I've heard. Yeah, exactly. So we could definitely attribute it to that. But I heard, it's funny you heard that this weekend because I heard on a something that, was it Dan Harmon or, no, no, I'm sorry, it wasn't Dan Harmon. It was freaking Joel, Joel.

Who's the main guy? Oh, from, from, yes. The Joel soup, soup, Joel. Yes, the soup Joel, community Joel, Joel, Joel. I want to say, thank you. Jeez, Louise. Why, uh, you see, okay. You know what, Chevy, we get it.

We totally get it, dude. I take everything we just said. Yeah, we're in an earlier stage. We're in an earlier stage. That's like the pot calling the whatever it is, calling that thing black. Yeah. But we would have, I think I would have remembered if he died. That's the next level.

want to get there. Yes, that's true. Yeah. Although, come on how often does that happen on film set where we've said, oh, yeah, you know, we should watch some more movies with so-and-so. Oh, yeah, no, we can't. He's dead. Yeah, he died.

He's not working anymore. So anyway, I saw this thing with Kinnaman, sorry, Joel McHale. The only other Joel I could think of, besides my uncle, Joel, where he's talked about Chevy Chase's time on the show and acknowledged all these. frustrations that everybody had. And he basically, he was really nice about it. He says, look, the guys, we all consider him a comedy genius even after, even after kind of the trouble on set.

The problem was he didn't like working long hours. Television shows require tons of work. He says, basically, it's the kind of, it's not a normal sitcom. It's a show where you're basically making a movie every week. And he says, the only time it was ever less than that is the time we intentionally made it feel like a found footage documentary episode. episode. He says, other than that, it's like making a film every week, which is a really rigorous schedule, and he hated it. So they would, they would shoot. He says, what would happen is the producers would have to kind of shoot around his mood. And if he got real cranky, they would try to get his stuff done first and get him home, get him out of there. And he says, and then we would go on or whatever. He says, when he was on camera, he would always be on. He said he would never, you know, phone it in or anything. Yeah, wouldn't phone in the actual performance. And he would have a. us laughing and he was like it was an interesting it was an interesting take because all you hear is

all the negative about it and you never really hear from any of the cast members on what they thought of it and he was just real honest about it but also sounded like you know there was there was respect there even though this dude was like clearly just not having it he didn't want to be there which is weird like why take the job if you don't want to be there i don't know that's weird totally right but i mean again you know maybe you're you're expecting it to be something else you're expecting it to be a come in do my scenes done go home have the rest of of the week off and and like you said community was a different animal uh in the in the sitcom space he did confirm that he quit not he wasn't pushed out or let go he quit yeah yeah which i didn't

know for sure i thought it was like some yeah but i'm sure there was no like oh no please don't leave oh chby please no you and i have that same issue like when somebody says hey we'd love for you to be a guest on our show and it's uh but we we record at nine o'clock at night on sundays yeah we're like hate it hate it no offense to any of you guys who have the schedule i get it i understand it i totally do i used to have the schedule i get it but we are tired look we're old men first of all number one number two all day we we start at nine for this show plus prep before it and we go go go and then at nine you're like oh yeah come guest to my thing and we're I'm like, you know.

Totally. That said, you and I both professionals, we never phone it in. Nope. Always here, 100%, maybe. And please go listen to my guest appearance on Diznard's Plus with Shave Maddox, where we talk about the third to last episode of She-Hulk. And join me this weekend. I guess I'm going to be on TV, Travis's weight you haven't seen,

because I haven't seen any Halloween movie. Yeah, you've got to watch those. You've got to watch. You're doing the first one, right? I'm just doing the first one I'll probably, I'll probably go through as much of the series as I can find online, but I'll only do the first one for TV's Travis, because... That one has boobies in it, boobs. Oh, does it?

Does it have Jamie Lucas's boobes? Jamie LeCurtis boobs, yep. Okay, all right. Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying up or down, you know, whatever, whatever you like, it's just there, they're there. So, if I remember right, I think so. I find her to be very attractive, but, you know, you kind of got turned off by that whole yogurt that makes you poop. sorry Jamie

Jamie Lee and Curtis all three of you we don't like it I had three friends in high school named Jamie Lee and Curtis they were all different people really I never put it together never put it together

that they could all three in the row be Jamie Lee Curtis God it would be funny if at one point they were trading places that's pretty good that's a good reference you know the worst Jamie Lee Curtis movie I ever saw was that one where

John Travolta's thrusting his wiener at the what do you call it? The aerobics one? The aerobics one. I can't watch that movie. I can't do it. Oh, it's really hard for me.

I don't know what, even then. Like, when it was new, something about it. There was something, something just. Hey, don't touch my crotch. I work really hard. I'm making my crotch bulge out. Don't touch it. I can't even look at it.

It's a really odd thing, but I couldn't, I could not do with that movie. So whenever watching perfect on, on film sat, got it. Nope. No, pre-voided. Pre-voided. Pre-voided. Pre-void, no, pre-vito. Pre-vito.

Previto. Previto. Previto. I am previto. All right. One quick final thing. I've been talking about this in other places all week, but it's finally working the way I want it. So, apparently it's a little bit weird for some international users.

I've been getting plenty of international ones, but I think in some cases, depending on your carrier, you might get charged for this. You'll know this, though. This is something you probably already know. And so I'm working on some solutions to have maybe WhatsApp forwarded or something. I don't know. But for now, for now. You can text us now, and I can read your texts on the air for this or any other show that you want to text into. I even have a little thing, so every time we read one, I can play this here.

Where to go? Right here. Monday. No, that's not that shit. Where to go? Oh, it is Monday. Wait. Monday.

When further surprising and thrilling things occur. Okay. That's just something to play on Mondays. Oh, okay. I remember you had that little thing you did on film sack with a... Yeah, I can't find it now. Oh, here it is. Oh, you're pretty good at it.

You sound like a phone. There is. All right. We are going to, like, for example, like this one, I got one from an anonymous person who said, what does red on air light mean? We got somebody who doesn't know what that is. So I'll tell you, really fast. One time Bill was on here, and he was talking about an awesome build of a portable podcast gear thing that was really cool.

And it had mics that popped up when you opened up this briefcase-like thing and all this stuff. Sound-proofing on the sides. It was awesome. What a cool idea. And then Bill went on to explain it even has a red on airlight. And while he's doing that, I'm busy being distracted by some other detail. Looking at the close-ups of it and seeing what else it's got. Yeah.

And then I, so then I piped up right after he said that, said, oh, my gosh, you guys, it has its own red on air light. And that became this thing where either Brian or I, sometimes other people, when they're guessing, if they just didn't hear what we just said. And it's bled to other shows. Like, we do it on film sac now. Do you do it on any, like, any non-Bryon-Ibitt shows? Like, do you do on KOR or... Happened once on Skim, and Kim was confused, but I explained it to her. Happened once on...

Maybe that was just... Maybe it's just film sack, mostly. Yeah. Probably mostly film sack. But anyway, it became a thing. So now, even on the live show, there's like a little thing I put up. Here it is. There you go, Chad on it.

It read on Airlight when one of us does it. It's just a little in-joke, a little, you know, meme from the show. Exactly. It's a little, it's a little, ding, that, hey, you weren't paying attention, were you? That we've been talking about this. Exactly. So, oh, I should mention the number. If you want to text the show, 801-471-0462, it's the same one we have you call in for when we do Ted Pooley Feud.

But in this case, it's just a text. Add it to your phone. It shouldn't cost you anything if you're in a place that lets you text. Again, international stuff may vary, but I'm trying to work that out. Anyway, 801-471-0-462. Just send them any time. It helps if you put your name if you want your name read, and it also helps, because these are all anonymous. I can't tell where they're coming from.

Right. So if you don't put your name, I won't know who you are, but if you don't want to, that's also fine. And it doesn't hurt to say which show you're calling about or texting about, but also I can suss it out. So, you know, whatever feels good to you. Oh, and it's the same number that we just realized. It's the same number we use for call-ins for feud on Wednesdays. That was perfect because that's our, that's today's first red-on-air-air-light example that I can post. You did say that.

Yeah, I literally just said it. And it's totally fine because think of the context. Look at the context. See, I intentionally created a red-on-air moment as a demonstration. There you go. See, we don't like to just tell you. We like to show you how things work. I completely missed you saying that.

Yeah, I just mentioned it briefly. But anyway, yes. 801-47-106462, send your text in. We're happy to read them here on the show. People are in the chaters like, wait, that wasn't a joke. You didn't just do that on purpose? I was like, nope, I was reading the chat room and I didn't even look at it. Yep. And by the way, I was thinking about that being the same number.

And I can, and I, by the way, I can tell you this, that you can say anything you want. It doesn't guarantee I'll read it. I'll give you an example of one I probably won't read normally. I just got one from somebody named Jake. Jake Clatter says scoot and breen are fart. So I'm probably not going to, I'll read that now, but I'm probably not going to read another one like that. You know what I mean? And bring our fart.

Yeah. So there it is. I got one that says F-E-A. I assume that's Talia, so that's good. It has to be, yes. Anyway, speaking of games, let's get done away in. Distracting bunch of... You guys are distracting freaks.

I mean, for the record, I do it probably more than Brian does, but it happens. I don't know. Lately, it seems like I've been more... I've been the red-on-airlight instigator more than anybody else. That's what you should do for Halloween. Strapper red-on-air-light to your head. I like that. All right, Brian Dunaway joining us short.

Speaking of the morning half-asses, yeah, holy feud, this should be a good time. Let's get it. That man I talked about before is Brian Dunaway, and he is joining us now from South Carolina to play a little game with us. Brian Dunaway, welcome to the show. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian.

Happy Monday. Happy Monday. You too. It's Monday. It's Monday. Hey, good to have you. Real quick here. I thought of you last night because I stayed up way too late. Yep.

You know what I was playing? You might say, oh, what are you doing, Scott? You're playing the resident evilly? Not even that, because that's our next discussion topic. But I sat and played a Genesis game called Mutsu or, uh, anyway, it's a top down scrolling, like shoot him up, like a schmup. And I got completely hooked on it and played it all night. We'll talk about it more tomorrow.

But it turns out Genesis had some cool. Genesis had cool Is it Muchu? Is that M-O-O-C-M-C-Muchu? S-H-Mushu? There was a game called Mushu. That's...

Oh, no, that was a character on the... In Moulon. Wasn't a video game, was there? No, but I'm going to find it... M-U-S-H-A? M-U-S-H-A? M-U-S-H-A. M-S-H-A.

Yeah. M-U-S-A. Yeah. M-M-S-A. That enlightening force are both very good. So anyway, we'll talk about them tomorrow. No worries there. This isn't that show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to play a game, though. We're going to play a little half-asses, and Brian Ibit here will explain how it works and how people can win. Thanks, Scooter. Welcome to the morning half-asses. The trivia game, we're actually going to be giving Scott and Brian the answers. I'm going to give them a category and six possible answers. Three of them are correct, three that are incorrect. And depending on how confident they feel with the category, they can provide one, two, or three guesses.

Now, if they get any of those guesses wrong, they get zero points. But if they guess one and get it right, they get one point, getting two right, get some three points, and getting all three correctly, they get five bonus points, or five total points. The player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant, and we pull contestants from members of the tadpool that aren't able to be here live with us. Scott, you're going to be playing for Brian Wood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Oh, yeah.

Hey, Brian. And Brian, you're going to be playing for Chad Ryder in Michigan. Nice. Oh, look at us. All over the American world here. This is great. That's right. Midwest.

Exactly. All right. If you guys are ready, let's get to your first game. Give you, like you said, a question and six possible answers. Let's go comics, because you guys both like comics. Yeah, love comics. I like to read the comics. Well, let's see if you've ever read this one.

These are insults used by Tintin's friend, Captain Hattuck. Oh, God. The one comic I don't read. I know exactly. Which of these are actual insults used by Tintin's friend, Captain Hannock. Are they? Marmaduke, Weasley Worm, Slubber de Gullions, Ostrogoth, crab apples, and Lamprey. Oh, my lord.

I know none of this. I know, right? Marmaddened? You might as well have asked. What is? I don't know. This, this. This is, like, the hardest thing I've ever seen.

This is the example I will use in the future. This is really complicated. You know what? I'm choosing one. I don't feel good about any of this. You're both locked in? I chose two. Oh, gee.

You did, and neither of you chose the same one. So, Brian, you locked in with weasley worm and slumberty gullions. Scott, you locked in with crab apples. Crab apples is one of his answers, as is celebrity gullions, but weasley worm is not. I almost didn't do. Weasley worm. Really, yeah. The actual ones are

Ostrogoth, crab apples, and snubber de gullions. Are these, like, fake swears or something? I guess so, yeah. Insults like he's calling, oh, those slumber de gullions over there. I like it.

It's a very, it's a very Colonel Potter kind of vibe. It totally is. In an alternate universe, somebody's written a question. Actual things said by Colonel Potter. Oh, I love that, actually.

That's a good one for future. Write that down. That would be a good one. Yeah, but somebody's got to go through and figure out what he said. All right, let's get to question number two. All right. Let's go back in time.

I want you to tell me which of these six things actually happened in 1947. So things that happened in 1947. The bikini was introduced. Casablanca premiered. David Bowie was born. India became independent. The CIA was established and the cat and the hat was published. Which of these things happened in 1947?

I mean, he's... 1947. Everything here happened in the 40s. The question is, well, I think anyway. I'm not sure about bikini, but, um, hmm. All right, I'm choosing to... 47? 1947.

I don't think that'd be right. 1947. Oh, I'm going. Perhaps. China Girl was written by David Bowie in 1947. I like the idea. I like the idea of the bikini being introduced. Hello.

Crotch. This is bikini. Crotch meet bikini Buccine be crotch Hello Belly meet bikini Bikini meet Bikini Meet Meeley

All right Well Scott Once again Nicely done The CIA was established And David Bowie was born In 1947 The Cat and Hat was published

Was the only one of these That didn't happen in the 40s That was actually 1957 Oh shoot Blanco was 1942 And the bikini was 1946

Nice I almost did the India one I got I just, I don't know, I just didn't know for sure. Oh, wow. So, Scott has been shot. I'm sorry, wait, what did you say the bikini? What year was the bikini?

Oh, just a year prior, okay. Oh, that was a, that was a crappy one to put in there. It's a low blow. It's a low blow. It is. That was insult to injury. Look, you had to prepare the world for David Bowie and the CIA. So get the bikini in early, is what I'm saying.

Exactly. Is that what happened? It was like the bikini was introduced 46, and then David Bowie was like, I'm there. Yeah, 47, right? That's right. Oh, I'd like to wear a bikini. While on stage is the star, man. Zingis stardust.

Changes. You keep using that word unfair. All right. Let's get to our last question. So going into last questions, Scott's got four points. Brian's got zero. So, Brian, if you don't try and guess all three, you're not even trying. You're not even making an attempt to win because there's no other way that you can win.

All right. All right, question number three, we're back to Jelly Belly. Jelly Belly's 50 official flavors. So I think we've had a question like this before. We've got six more Jelly Belly flavors. Which of these are actual Jelly Belly 50 flavor, 50 official flavors? Almond Sunrise, Caramel Corn, Margarita, Rocky Road, Plum and Comquot. Comequot.

I didn't know cumquot was a K. I always thought cumquot was a C. I had no idea. I didn't know that With a cane What is it Is a fruit? Is it? What is that?

It is a citrus fruit. I don't think I've ever had one. I don't think I've ever had a cumquot either. I probably had something cumquot flavored, but Oh, here they are. Oh, they look like little oranges or something. Are you Googling? Well, no, I'm just looking up cumquot.

I'm not looking up whether it's a flavor from church is on. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm all good here. It's okay. Yeah, they look like a little bitty orange is. What, and why is he doing that? Exactly. Oh, look at these, you guys, chat. Whoops, there it is.

I will say that Scott was locked in before he started Googling cum quots. Yeah. Yeah. But again, you'd have to Google, for me to cheat on that, I'd have to Google the jellybelly. Yes, exactly. Yeah. You mean I had to go to the jellybelly website. Gee, I bet that's difficult.

All right, you guys have both locked in? Again, you guys, between the two of you have chosen five of the six answers. So somebody is losing. somebody's going away a loser that caramel corn is a flavor of jelly belly so is plum yeah so is margarita scott walks away with seven points brian done away zero dude i cleaned your clock out i've had plum i don't think i've had margarita so that was a little on the fence there i thought i'm sure you've had margarita i thought caramel corn was a trick really i know the popcorn butter popcorn yeah i thought so too yeah yeah dang it all right i was using my

I was using my brain thinking, well, surely they would never have a margarita. That would be wrong. And then I'm like, all the rest of the ones I've ever had are always. You're basically saying, yeah, get used to the flavor. And then I was like, yeah. And I was like all the rest of them I've ever seen, I've always like two words. And I thought plum was this a little too short. So, eh, logic.

Dredge Wildfire did something in the chat that I just like to comment on. He spelled plums with a B-S at the end, PLU-M-B-S. I do that all the time. I do it all the time. Like, if you're plumbing the depths of film entertainment, then you would totally use a BM. You would. You would use a B, a B, a B, an M-B. I see what he did there.

But I don't understand why I do that. I do it all the time. So I'm with you there, Drenched Wildfire. It's a typo I make. And it's never. It's the same reason that you do the short, uh, shortening of anonymous with two ends, with three ends actually, A and N-O-N. Oh, right.

Anony Moose. Is that what I did? It's totally fine. It is fine, right? Because you knew what I meant. That's what's great about English. She meant by anon. Yeah, a nun.

Oh, a non. A non. QAnon. Wait, what? We don't want them here. Maybe it's, maybe it was a nun. Maybe. Well, congratulations to go, wait, hold.

Who the hell is this? Congratulations. There it is. You're a winner. Yeah, because he won. Brian Wood is getting a copy of gas station simulator and Legion T.D.2. Oh, Scott loves that one. Yeah, the gas station simulator I played hours and hours and hours of that game.

That's very good. Yeah. But don't worry, Chad, in Michigan, you're getting a copy of, yes, your grace as Redder Up. So all of that, courtesy of Wesley. Also an excellent game. It's all coming up, Chans. Yep. Nobody lost this week, actually.

These are all quality deals. Except for me. Yeah, except for you. You lost horribly. Oh, my Lord, you lost. But tomorrow you won't lose, because tomorrow we're doing play retro, and we're going to do the Resident Evil series, and it's a little bit of an undertaking. This is an important, big

thing. Kind of became the crown prince of all survival horror in its heyday. And certain still today. Whereas things like Silent Hill, big splash kind of came and went, although recently got a bunch of big announcements around Silent Hill. So we're going to talk about that because A, it's Halloween

and B, Play Retro talks about old games. So that's what we're going to do. We're just doing one through three in Code Veronica. Everything basically for 2000. All the tank control stuff is our plan. Yeah, the tape controls. Yep. One more retro thing to tell you about. At some point

today, New Wave Toys is going to be delivering my little miniature missile command game. Does it have a ball? It has a ball. It has a ball. Oh, gosh. Dang it, dude.

I want that so bad. And I've got to figure out how to fit it over there because once I got Kubert, that whole area became full of five mini games and a change machine that's a USB power splitter. When are you going to take, you've got to make like a diaramic arcade, you know? I need to 3D print some like a little miniature. Scott and Brian and Brian and Randy players. Seriously. Put like a coat can on top of one, little miniature coat can.

Right. They do come with little miniature quarters that you can put on the glass because you get next turn. Oh, no way. And you should put like, you get some Vegas carpet. Have Mitsula find you source you some Vegas carpet? No, I've got it. Oh my gosh. I want that so bad. That is the coolest thing. They actually sell arcade carpet, New Wave Toys does. Really? Oh, nice. Underneath all of them, yeah, underneath all of them is arcade carpet.

Let me see if I can pull. That company, I swear, we're going to find out one day that the CEO and the CFO are like three inches tall. They're little tiny people. That's so rad. Yeah, it's too, I've got too much stuff on it to show you the carpet to pick it up and show you. That's cool, though. Rest assured, there's good. Good carpet. I believe you. I do. I believe you.

It needs to be nice and confusing to keep people there. It is so, yeah, it's lightning bolts and planets and stuff on a black background that probably look really good in black light. That's perfect. It's perfect. And then you play a little, you get a little jukebox there to play some 80s hits. We're done. We got the arcade. Brian Dunaway, I look forward to that very much. That's tomorrow 330 Mountain Time. And of course, anywhere you get your podcast. Just look for play retro. Hey, Dunaway, anything else you want to say, you know, that's fine folks here. Yeah, no you. Yeah, no you, he says.

Yeah, no, you. Excellent work. All right, we're going to do a quick news story. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Meet Martha. What made you say that name? Martha Galvez was a loving mother, wife, nurse advocate, and friend who left behind a legacy of compassion and strength. She worked as a registered nurse in Tri-Cities, Washington for 27 years before a career was cut short by a stage four pancreatic cancer diet.

diagnosis. Since her passing, Martha continues to inspire many through her leadership and advocacy. All profits of this fundraise will go directly to the Martha Galvez Memorial Scholarship Fund. This scholarship aims to honor the life and legacy of Martha Galvez by supporting students pursuing a nursing degree. For more info, please visit Martha Galvez.org. That's M-A-R-T-H-A-G-L-V-E-Z.org. When I go, I would like a non-profit thing for, like a scholarship fund or something for kids or something. That's what I want. For sure, yeah, like an art scholarship or something. Something.

I would love that. Because what else are you going to do? You can't take it with you. So figure out a way to, you know, make an impact when you're gone. Stage four pancreatic cancer is, that's a rough one. That's the worst. It's the worst. It is the worst.

Stage four and pancreatic cancer together, both the worst. Yeah. Well, best of luck to the family there with us. It sounds like a cool thing in her name. All right, American Airlines in the news. I hate talking about them because I hate those guys. It never been a good flight for me. Never had a good flight on American, but whatever. American Airlines flights makes emergency landing. They didn't make a lander and then sent it to NASA. They made a lander. Nice. An and lander. And she gave advice. Anyway, they had to make an emergency landing after people got sick. an American Airlines flight departed from Miami

and it was forced to make an emergency landing Wednesday evening, according to CBS Miami. Friday or flight, I can't read, Flight 338 was on its way to Barbados. Oh, when it returned to Miami International after multiple people became sick,

the station said, Miami Day Fire and Rescue and firefighters began patient assessment and out of precaution. Five patients were transported to an area hospital. They said five people taking up the hospital were crew members and no passengers were hospitalized. That's a weird sentence. So five of them that went there were crew members, but as a separate note, no passengers were hospitalized. It was just crew members. I guess so. Miami-Dade said, let's see,

America and I said the plane turned around after a chemical odor spread through the cabin from a passenger's carry-on luggage. Guess what it turned out to be, Brian? well i i read ahead so i do know but uh uh nail polish remover is the devil it's the devil it really is the devil that stuff is so so it must have broken open in somebody's luggage and just leaked out stuff stinks to high heaven it's really smelly and i i don't know why i would make people well i would if you didn't know the source of it i could understand the the like oh shoot we need to turn this around yeah just in case you got to be safe or whatever but if you need to knew the source of it, I would have just

been like, this is like my sisters. They were always breaking that shit. I could always smell it. To this day, I can, like talking about it, I can smell it. Yeah, yeah, totally. I'd smell memory of my sister's freaking nail and remover and stuff. Oh, it's so bad. And are you going on a trip where

you're going to need to change and do multiple nail polish? nail polishes? Why not just, you know, go with the nail polish you've got, change it when you get back home? Yeah, look, I'll be the first to admit. I don't understand how people work, generally speaking, when it comes in nail maintenance, but do you really need? I mean, are you leaving for nine months?

Or aren't you, are you going to a place that might actually carry this? That doesn't sell it. Yeah, exactly. That seems really odd to me. But then again, I don't think people should bring burritos on the plane. That's right. Oh, yeah, they were going to Barbados. Oh, yeah.

Burritos, all right. Well, as somebody who I think is maybe taking a burrito. No, maybe it wasn't a burrito. It was a rap, like a Caesar, a chicken Caesar wrap. Totally reasonable. Totally. It was a great place in DIA. does. No, it's like the

like a really weird pungent cheese topped food and cheese cheese is hit and mess, right? Like even good cheeses can smell bad if you let them sit in a carry on bag long enough. Yeah. Yeah. I just think it's dangerous because you're just asking

for like whoever you're sitting next to is going to be mad. Like it's just going to be bad. Eat before you get on. or something. I don't know what. Maybe it's there in a hurry. They got there. The Chipotle was right there before the gate.

They got the food. I don't know. They just, I mean, there should be just a rule of which kind of restaurants you can have in your airport and what kind of food they can sell. So, you know, no black bean burgers at the smash burger, please.

As good as they are. Yeah. No Panda Express is my, is what my number one of thing. Oh, yeah, I think I'd have to give you, I'd give you Panda Express. Yeah, all right. Can you imagine just like an open general, general or colonel sow?

Orange chicken, a general or a colonel? I don't remember his rank. General. General sow. Right? That doesn't sound right for some reason. General sow. All right.

Well, there you have it. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to spend some time of Stephen Schleiker. And maybe, you know what? We might see, we might poke around and see how Black Adam did in the theater. Ooh, let's do that. or whether or not it's worth you seeing. I've got some more of your quick test, some email, some other stuff.

So stick around. Before we do any of that, though, we need to play a song. Yeah, let's go to Swiss-American Fandu Western Baritone, the guy who goes by the name Sam himself, has just announced his second album, which doesn't come out until next year, January 27th, 2023 via Sony music. But we have an early track. We've got the first track from the album,

which is the title track. Here is Sam himself and his song, Never Let Me Go. Keep my bed close to the phone Just in case So I ghosted Ignites those signs Inside of his And that's where you might forget

We'll love the load Pay my sleep to play My knees to flow When the way you're posted deep on the blood, it's played on my own. I'll play the way to come. Hold your breath until I'm drunk. I can't want to fall out. We're going to hold until the road to stop.

But the book on. Don't go Don't go Holds us straight and distant place The bones the wicket bowing Up to the dying in the sky Low shadows in the same

forsake me want to laugh for some to say on the day we like to say goodbye leave on the arms

and my fingers and my feet political but I have done that I'm a beat I've got a word and echo

Any night's sleep to clean on each other floor Oh, out of the window closing deep on the planet needs to bring in all the room I'd like the table where I'm looking Oh, I'll be the fact to love to drop upon the pandemic Bring a heart to stone I'll be able to

you can we're perfect a lot of I'm above a phone girl maybe a heart a close

too too too cool How old are you? I'm cool. How old were you when you found out that you were using your trash bags wrong? I'm going to show you some trash bag secrets. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Strong, strong, strong, strong, strong. And relax. Here's your meatball. This is the morning stream. And we're back. Hey, repeat the name of that singer and song. I will totally do that. The singer is Sam himself, the song, and the album that it comes from, which comes out next year, is called Never Let Me Go.

So that one you played for me last whatever day. Looze in the Yakuza? Yeah, they don't have any, the rest of the album's not out yet. No, now it doesn't come out until later this year. But they have other songs. Luz in the, I found out it's pronounced Luz. I saw one of her YouTube videos, and she introduces herself as Luz. I thought, well, it's French.

You can't pronounce the S at the end of L-O-U-S. Right. This is so negative. I don't want to, you know, lose. Tina's getting so sick of me talking about that song because, like, we're, you know, we're talking to somebody about music, and I said, oh, my God, I've got just the song you need to hear. Because this thing, I've probably played it a dozen times since Wednesday's TMS. I love that song so much.

It's really good. And I scrounged for the rest of it And I guess it's just not out yet So gotta watch for it Yeah And you gotta watch that If you haven't watched that video She's absolutely mesmerizing

She looks like Like a modern Grace Jones And Nice Sounds like I can't lose All right Hey What do we got here

Oh yeah Schleiker time Shlecker time Yep yep You heard it You know it It's coming He's coming in like a wrecking ball

here we go here we go right here Stephen Schleiker Stephen Schleiker my personal black Adam Stephen Schlecker has joined us he's got a lot of power you could destroy the world if you wanted but you don't you hold back

I don't yeah you work sometimes you work with the good guys sometimes you don't but you know it's just the kind of guy you are sometimes you feel like a nut yeah sometimes you don't um and joy's got nuts my own don't right is that how it went Because, because. I had a weird dream about you guys the other night.

Yeah, tell us about it. I mean, no, I need you to both get your hands close to the camera and flip off the camera because I want to see how you guys flip somebody off. Brian, I go full 70s. Brian does 80s. Okay. So in my dream, you were both reversed. Oh, really?

Scott was the 80s bird and I was the 70s bird. But I always do this. I could do this. but I do this. I don't know why. Yeah. I don't know what my deal is. I know.

Now, we don't need to take selfies at the end of this episode, Scott. We'll just use that freeze frame. Oh, yeah. I'll just go crop that out of there. Why the heck not? That's actually pretty good. So, wait. So why were we flipping you off in your dream?

No, you weren't flipping me off. It was just we had some weird discussion about how to, you know, I was trying to teach you guys. No, no, no, I was trying to teach you guys how to flip the bird correctly. And I was like, okay, show me, show me. And then you guys. did it reverse the way you were i'm like no no you're supposed to do 70s bird oh weird and and i couldn't i couldn't get uh i couldn't get scott to accept the 70s bird oh wow that's interesting

please accept the 70s bird into your heart i do i have very i've always accepted it look at that thing look it's like a ball with a finger sticking out of it you know it's not even you don't even need these tooth what are these anyway what is that oh see that's those are the stands it's like having a it's like putting your bird on a tripod is what it is gotcha we got van walking around the house yesterday walking up to me with both fingers out just like that and he goes he goes pops pops birds birds like this he thinks they're just birds you know just a bird or bird yeah that's gonna go well when he does that at the grocery store yeah we're looking forward to that you know you try not to she's doing like i do which i never wanted to if the kids said something untoward in public or

any of this tried really hard not to jump on it because I don't want them to get I don't want them to get stigmatized on something sure I want them to figure that some of that stuff out on their own so if he does go flip off some lady at the grocery store a she'll laugh because he's three and be you know it's a chance to go oh buddy maybe she doesn't want to see birds maybe the birds go home or you know I don't know maybe she doesn't want to see birds yeah maybe she doesn't like birds not everyone likes birds, you know, you have to explain it. Anyway, hey, let's talk about that Black Adam for a second. Black Adam brought in $140 million in the box office this weekend. That's globally. And so that's pretty good. It does need to at least double that because they spent $165 million, I think, on the

production of it, plus probably another $100 million for advertising. So it needs to make at least $300 to be, $300 million to be successful. What's amazing is, number one, this is the Rock's highest grossing opening film ever. Oh, I was going to ask if how it compared, but I guess that makes sense. It's like the biggest single vehicle he's probably been in, right? Whereas he's the star. Fast and the Furious.

Oh, that's true. Yeah, but those are so like ensemble, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know if those should count. But maybe they do. I don't know. The other thing that's really amazing is that if you look at the reviews, reviewers hate this movie with like a passion. Even

Sam Nelson who does stuff with us on a critical hit just was like I have nothing good to say about this this movie yet the audience score if you look at the rotten tomatoes is still at like 90% it's higher than it was a week ago just before the movie over yeah we're at 39 on critics 90 on audience um heard from gail simone on twitter that she thought it was awesome yeah uh so a few comic book folks seem to be into it um i don't know man like it did you see it no but But D.C. struggles against this wind, right? The D.C. struggle is always low audience, higher audience, or no, sorry, higher audience, lower critic.

It's just D.C., that's D.C. now. Like all the Snyderverse stuff, they all suffer from the same thing. People like the Snyder cut of Justice League, and critics hated it. Like, I don't know. I feel like I want to see this despite the reviews, so I probably know. So the Shazam movie, which came out a year, or back in 2019, I want to say a year ago. pandemic, it scored 90% on the, on the reviewers and 82% on audience score. I guess that one does set itself apart a little bit from the rest.

And I wonder woman as well, the first Wonder Woman did pretty well across the groups. But I don't know, I guess I was kind of hoping Black Adam was what they kept promising it would be. The Rock was out there saying, this is going to reset the DC universe. This is going to change everything. And it sounds like it's probably just a, you know, it's just a movie. So if Discovery Entertainment or whatever it's called Discovery Networks wanted to get me back on the HBO Max and get me back to buying Warner Bros. stock, I really think that the person they should put in charge of all the DC live action movies, television shows, everything, is executive producer Sam Register. He is the executive producer over at Warner Brothers Animation and Cartoon Networks. And so he's behind the Teen Titans Go to the movies movie. He's behind Teen Titans Go. He's behind Teen Titans Go. He's behind. like all of the DC animated universe movies, which are really, really good. So I would put him in charge of the live action stuff.

Oh, he's our age. Yeah. And so that makes him a huge nerd and a smart older man. I know, he's very, oh, wow, yeah, there's so much success in his list of things. It's a lot of animated stuff, but. Yeah, because he's in charge of the animation arm of Warner Brothers until they almost can't, you know, shut it down and then decided not to. Yeah, which is a lot of the best stuff DC. has done is they're animated movies um you know what yeah i think that's by that you know what i'm

with you i think this is the guy you know what he reminds me of like uh marvel or uh star wars has with uh uh... uh... baloney yeah feloni oh sure you know he came up through the ranks of the animation side of things and clone wars before that he was king of the hill of all things um so yeah why not there's your guy sam samuel bernard register which sounds like a thing i have to sign up on if i want to get into something That's right. That's the only way you're going to get your San Bernard during the pre-release at the time.

That's right. That's absolutely right. So this is interesting. I did want to say about this movie, there's apparently a stinger. I'm not going to spoil it, but I got spoiled on it. I'm all fine with it.

That's great. Yeah. I heard there's a cameo, and I don't know what it is. It's a big one. Apparently, they were happily talking about it, you know, two weeks leading up to the movie.

Yeah, they seem like they wanted it out there yeah they wanted to get it out there i think because it's it will only help this movie i think i think i don't know i don't know how i fail about it but i think i think i'm glad but i don't know what it actually means for the future of dc movies so so we'll see interesting think of it this way brian it's not like one of your marvel movies where it's like any character that you love will suddenly be in the stinger and you're like oh great that means we get a whole new set of these or whatever okay so it's kind of like that but we'll see I'm going to spoil it for everybody.

Sam Jackson comes in and says, I want to talk to you about an initiative. Yeah. Then he reads his scripture and then he shoots, he shoots Lamar, what's his name in the face, and the car. It's all good. Okay, well, that's awesome.

Or maybe not. Who knows? If it makes its money, then I guess maybe that is awesome and we'll eventually see this on HBO Max. I'm a huge Max fan right now, though. I love it. I can't unsubscribe from HBO Max. They have too many good movies and stuff on there.

I really like it. It's why I don't get, like, I understand it's all an enterprise to make money. And if it's not making what you think it should make, then you've got to do stuff. But I don't know what discovery issues are. Like, HBO Max has really good original programming and a bunch of backlog stuff. Why come mess with that? I don't know what they're doing. It must not be making enough money, I guess.

No, it's super simple. They were told to come in and get the company out of debt, number one. So that means that Zazlav is probably going to get hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses if he's able to do that in the next two years. The second thing is Discovery Networks is television, live action television, reality television. They don't really have a concept for movies. And so you're bringing corporate television to corporate movie theaters and the two don't mix. And so that's why they're just like, we don't like streaming. We like cable channels.

We like satellite channels. The streaming stuff doesn't make any sense to us. Why are we doing this live action stuff for hundreds of millions of dollars when we can do it more cost effectively as reality television and go look and see that Discovery Networks like amped up. Yeah, but when it's 10 to 15 years. A whole bunch of reality television for the BBC. So it's.

But when it's 10 to 15 years from now and everyone else is doing it and they're not because they thought it wasn't making them enough money, now they're really behind, you know? I will bet that Zazlov, if he is there five years from now, I will be surprised. Yeah, I don't think it could be there either. I think it's weird. But same register in charge, ladies and gentlemen, that will turn everything around. I know what they need to do. Here's the crossover of all crossovers. Most dangerous catch crossovered with Aquaman.

So you got Aquaman. He's the dangerous catch. You're trying to catch Jason Mamoa. But it's still just the ship with the crabber people on it, trying to catch Jason Mamo in one of their nets. done that's great yeah all right sign me that's the that's the that's the crossover we've been all waiting for that's all I've been waiting for I can tell you that let's let's

slide over to Marvel I guess we have a replacement for William Hurt who passed away recently as Thunderbolt Ross tell us who it is what's going on there a legendary actor Harrison Ford this came out I think right after we talked last week he announced it so he will be playing

Thunderbolt Ross in the upcoming Captain America New World Order And let's see He's also going to be in the Thunderbolts movie So he's scheduled for two things That we know for sure Can he be as I mean William Hurt was great at playing

Just perpetually irritated and pissed off With perfect for Harrison Ford Okay all right Can we It just feels like Harrison Ford is going to be the nicer Thunderbolt Ross Like Of the two Yeah I could see that

But think of him at his most irritated get off my plane and I didn't do it. I didn't kill her. I don't care of that whole thing. Get off my helic carrier. Yeah. Right. I think he can do it.

Plus one side of his face is more frowny than the other, so they'll shoot it from that side. There you go. They'll always catch him from the side. It is very weird. Go find any picture of Harrison Ford, chat room, do this. And then cut the face in half and look at the left half and he looks pissed. Look at the right half and he's just normal. It's really interesting.

Interesting. I don't think it's a stroke or anything. I think he's just built that way. But, sure, sure. Anyway, if he did have a stroke, my apologies in advance. I wasn't aware. Yeah, this is fine.

Now, in the case of the Thunderbolts, for those who are not in the Gnome, they're like Suicide Squad kind of, right? For the Marbleau side of things? And Thunderbolt, Ross is like a charge of it. It's like Suicide Squad. If Suicide Squad,

the first time you saw them, pretended to be other heroes or like non-villain character. So, you know, when they first appeared, it was like, oh, a bunch of new characters, this is cool. And then we start finding out, oh, wait, that's the Blue Beetle. That's, or I guess just the Beetle, not the Blue Beetle, that's DC. Got it. But like all these Moonstone and all these other villains who've been disguised.

Ringo Star, he's the beetle. Yeah, that's the, exactly. He's the one. So wait a minute. So Thunderbolt Ross is kind of Amanda Waller character, right? Sort of run in the secret little program. Maybe a little bit more hardcore. Okay.

Yeah. Really? More hardcore than her. Osborne was the guy who put the Thunderbolts together. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. And it's going to be weird here because we already know, we've already seen all these characters who are going to be in the Thunderbolts already. We've seen their stories, right?

We saw that in Captain America, the TV show. We've seen it in Black Widow and all of those. So it'll be really interesting to see how these characters react when they discover, wait a minute, we're the baddies and have to deal with us. that do you either have any desire to see sony follow through on the original plan of sinister six uh spider man offshoot thing we almost got it in the uh spider man uh multivor no way home oh that's true no way home yeah we don't think of that yeah and um and with how they've been doing venom and morbius i kind of want them to ease up on their on their non spider man uh you know loaded movies like they they just have figured out the secret sauce of no you don't make a superhero villain movie you make a a heist movie or a you know an action thriller

but it happens to star supervillains yeah you make a genre film you take a yeah absolutely you take a card from literally your parents you your partner company who's helping you make this with you just pay attention to what they're doing and make one of those why not I have I have zero hope for Madam Webb and Craven and

what are the other ones they're working on? There's several of them that, I forget what the other one is. I know they want to do a Spider-Guin, but I don't know what the status is on that. Well, as long as they keep making... The Madam Webb, I think, has been put on hold. If they make more Spider-Verse stuff, I'm happy with that.

That's good enough for me. I don't care about the rest of it. Okay, I was going to say one other thing about that, and I forgot what it was. Crap. It was about a character that I had a question about, and now I can't remember it. It was Thunderbolts related.

Oh, that's what it was. The Thunderbolts are all villains, or are there some in there where it's like, okay. In the comic books, they are. And the comic books they are. But yeah, what we've gotten announced from the MCU, it's going to be Florence Pugh's Black Widow. It's going to be Red Guardian, David Harbor, Taskmaster. See, I always don't. I never think of her as a villain, but I guess Yelena.

I mean, she really isn't, right? I mean, she's kind of, you know, all of these are. a Russian. She's a Russian killer. Yeah. No, I get that. I just, I was thinking more like, you know, in Suicide Squad, it's nebulous. It's a little bit like a couple of those people are more heroic than they are villains.

In the Suicide Squad, they're all horrible villains. Yeah, but they have hard, like Rat Catcher 2. She's awesome, dude. She's freaking great. I could watch her own movie. And Winter Soldier absolutely has redeemed himself and has been a hero for four movies now in a series.

Yeah, do you think maybe it takes a turn? something with him where it's like, oh, no. Bucky, what have you done? But I'm glad we're getting ghost from the Ant Man and Wasse movie that Scott never saw. I still need to see. I need to watch that. I'm going to. It's on the list there, you know.

It's on the thing. It's got that. You get the parasite. You got your other ones. Your stacks of content, you know? Your Captain Marvel, your She-Hulk. Oh, I know what I was going to say. The Lizard in the Spider-Man recent movies.

is he's played by a guy that plays auto high tower on on house of the dragon and that'll flip you out when you see him because it's like not like that character at all isn't it rise darby rise not derby the other one if funds that's his name and that he's in house of the dragon in a very different role when you catch up with that you're going to be like oh my gosh

I can't believe that's him interesting okay he's also the skinny roommate from nodding hill very weird. Oh, right. Yeah, which just blows my mind. Yeah. It's hard to believe that the same guy. Anyway, acting. Uh, acting. Uh, that's it. That's all we know. Harrison Ford coming in there. Get the hell off my hair. Hella carrier was going to say. And, uh, regarding William, no, regarding Thunderbolt is what that movie will be called. Do we want to have a quick, uh, quick throw in of the new Star Wars news that we got this morning about the, uh, no, I missed it. Um, what's his face? Um, what's his face? Um, what's his face? Um, what's his face? Um, um, what's his face? Um, um, what's his face? Um, um, um, what's his face. Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, from Damon Lindelof is working on a Star Wars movie and he tapped the director of a couple episodes of Ms. Marvel to direct it.

Oh, no way. Let's see. Lost and Watchman's showrunner Damon Linnelof is a party making Secret Star Wars movie. So we're talking film here. A film, yes. Yeah, since maybe Rogue Squadron is off. Yeah, they're not doing that anymore.

Yeah, which is a bummer. I mean, oh, I was looking forward to Rogue Squadron with Patty Jenkins. Patty Jenkins, yeah. Maybe they thought, maybe that second one, Wonder Woman soured them, I don't know. It wasn't very good. Oh, weird. Here's this really weird story that just came across for a rowdy.

Henry Cavill says, I'm back as Superman. Oh, weird. I wonder what that's referring to. Weird. Okay. No idea. Well, thanks for that. I mean, we're not going to get, I mean, the question was always,

will it be him in any follow-up Superman or will it be a new one? I guess we know now. It'll be him. Look, I'm all for this. Linda Loft got a lot of hate for the end of Lost and stuff. Yeah. But, man, I've loved the Watchman series. I absolutely loved, I like Prometheus' story.

He gets shit for that, but I like it. Yeah. I really liked the leftovers. Yeah, the Watchman. Watchman. Watchman was great. Yeah. That one's a, there's your on air light.

Everybody put that right up. You didn't say that. I did. But what's the, but the, the, what's it called? The leftovers. There's an amazing series. Leftovers, yes. It was one of the best shows ever made.

I'm telling you, everyone just calmed down with your... I thought you said leftovers. Oh, did you? I may have said both, I'm not sure. But Lindelof... I was thinking leftovers because we always rave about Lindelof and leftovers. He just gets so much crap, and I just think he doesn't deserve the crap he gets. I think he's good.

So I'm all for this. Yeah, no, I think he's great. This is great news. And look, here's the other... And I will still defend the end of the end of Lost as that was the story they wanted to tell. and it may not have been the ending people wanted, but it was the ending of the story they wanted to tell, and I feel just fine with that.

Yeah, it's also just not a fair position to put him in. It's like, you're the reason my show sucked. I mean, come on. Right, exactly. I also was going to say, oh, so I've had this theory that we were done with Superman, or sorry, Star Wars movies for a while because the television shows are weaving a much more cohesive sort of thing, and you can do it week to week,

and I think the budgets are more manageable, and they just they just it's a better place for those stories and I kind of thought we wouldn't see another Star Wars movie for a while so I guess this is just is this a rumor is this confirmed here this was variety I have to go and look at the actual article but look for if it's an actual statement from Lindelov or from Disney slash Lucasfilm or if it is insiders tell us that this is happening if it says insiders are telling us then yeah maybe but don't put a whole lot of faith in It was the same report, I guess, where they confirmed or at least mentioned that Tycho Attidi

and Ryan Johnson's films are also not dead. There's something still happening there. I don't know if it's a full trilogy with Ryan Johnson anymore, but he's working on something. I thought he was going to do that as a TV series, but maybe not. I mean, all I know is the Andover, Andover, not Andor, and or.

Andor is a fantastic show. Yeah. And they have really let this, you know, breathe and do its own thing. And the fact that they're doing 12 episodes, which means for story arcs is just brilliant. And I am fine if they were to say, I'm fine if they were to say, hey,

we're not going to do another Star Wars movie. We're just going to do these series and they're going to be on the level of and or I'd be totally fine. I don't need a Star Wars movie. Same. Totally agree. I let those stories breathe, let the characters build.

Let's have it. Because in an hour and a half, what are you going to do? You're either going to make it look like every Star Wars ever. Like, I think that's the problem with the recent trilogy. You're going to make it a series anyway, right? You're going to make it a series of, movies, why not do it as a television series and give the characters a chance to grow and

develop. I agree. Because at the core of it, it's science fiction, but it's also high fantasy in a lot of ways, Star Wars, the universe is. So it deserves, this is like somebody saying we should do, do a two-hour Game of Thrones movie in the entirety of the stories told in two hours. Forget it. It's a terrible idea. You got to break it up. All right, we've solved the problem. Clearly, the three of us have just solved. Problem solved, yes. Problem solved everybody. Nicely done. uh stephen is always pleasure uh you got going on right now as you lurch toward 1,000 episodes of the major spoilers podcast it's fantastic we're off last week we're off last week so we have to make up for it to the next couple of weeks but I do have one thing for you Scott go before we go go uh Archie yeah in Mad Max Fury Road I saw this it looks so cool Archie versus the world a new one shot coming out in January that is just basically what if Archie comics but in the Mad Max universe so there's you go, Scott. Guess what?

Go enjoy that. Furiosa. Guess what? You finally found an Archie comic I would like to read. And I legit. All this time. Yeah, I legit would like to read. I like the zombie one you recommended years ago.

I forgot the name of that. But this is one I will absolutely pick up and read because it's just stupid enough to work. I love it. All right. Well, how about my drinking problem? Should I be drinking? Oh, yes. You should be drinking plenty of water because we want you to stay hydrated.

Okay, great. Thank you so much for that. I was going to trick him and play a theme clip for drinking water, but I can't. Oh, that's why this is right here. No, that's not it. Drinking all of my booze? No, that wasn't it. Well, anyway, I have a lot of drinking ones, and I was going to use it, and I didn't use it.

Lots of drinking clips. Okay, that's it for that. Let's get to the final throws of life for this particular episode of the show by reading another quick text from a listener. this one came from another anonymous. It says, quick question for the show. Would you rather be itchy

for 24 hours or nauseous all day without throwing up if you had to choose one? So no barfing, but nauseous all day like hardcore nausea or itchy for 24 hours.

I will take the itchy. Thank you very much. Same. Because I can scratch. Even if I'm, you know, even if I'm still itchy after I scratch,

that I can handle. But the nauseous without any sort of like payoff? Oh, forget. without any payoff. Like, you know, when you throw up, it's like, oh, I feel better. So not nauseous anymore.

You hate doing it, but you know it's the means to an end. If I'm ever nauseous, this is literally what I do. I never have a payoff because I just don't make myself yak. Yeah. But I would rather itch. I can scratch, you know. I can scratch those itches. Totally.

But I can't scratch nausea. Sometimes the scratching is kind of fun, depending on where it is. Am I right? Am I right, everybody? That's right. Brian just means his back. That's all he means. I do.

I do. Here's a quick email from a listener. This is from Ben. He sent this to the morning stream at gmail.com. Ben says you both rail against St. Valentine's Day. That's funny he could put the saint on there. Rale against the asses. He says in May the 4th and April Fool's, which is corporate idiot day.

But all October long, it's nothing but scary movies. Why so hypocritical? Would it hurt you to cry and piss your pants in May? I don't understand what that means. hurt you to crying. We do cry and piss our pens in May and quit bringing it up. No, he means, you know, is there some reason we don't do horror movies year-round on film sack? And I would argue you're not paying attention because we absolutely put horror movies throughout the year. We just happen to put, we happen to do four weeks or five weeks

of them in October. Yeah. But Valentine's Day, created to sell cards. May the 4th, created because people don't recognize the true Star Wars anniversary, which is May 25th. That's right. April Fool's, people are stupid online. I mean, there's reasons why we want those Halloween. We just happen to love

pagan holidays and we're totally fine celebrating pagan holidays. Yeah, and it's an excuse for me to sub to shudder and watch that stuff nonstop all month. I saw a real humdinger the other day. I'll recommend it on Wednesday, but you know, if you want something creepy as hell, boy, I've got your number.

I'll tell you that. Really? Oh, yeah, dude. It is. You know the lady that played the Stark mom's sister that ran the airy or whatever? Yeah, the airy, right, with the sky window, whatever it was called. Yeah, the big hole in the sky. That actress, she was also in the Vivitch.

She was the mom in the Vivitch. She's in this horror movie I just watched. And my gosh, she does not get enough appreciation for how freaking weird she is. you're dipping full toe into shutter this month. Oh, I've gone nuts with it. I love it. It's all I've watched except for, you know, the week-to-week Game of Thrones thing. Although we couldn't watch it last night because the kids were here too late and we were dead tired.

So Kim and I are watching that tonight. I don't want to hear any spoilers. I don't want to hear about it. We're going to watch it. It's going to be great. Can't wait to see Agon and a stupid eye patch. It's going to be great. I may really tick people off with my recommendal this week and recommend something

that you can't even rent like you can't even pay online to watch it you know do it free streaming you can't even like your only way of watching this is to go on Amazon

buy a cheap a cheap blu-ray or DVD Is that what you did Did you watch something old like that? That's how I got it Yeah this is uh We'll talk about it Okay you know I'm all for that

There's nothing wrong with that It's like an analog movie I like it is a total Analog recommendal Yeah nice Well be here Wednesday for recommendals And you'll hear what those two things are.

That's it for us. Patreon.com slash TMS is where you can help support the show. Like a long-time supporter since 2014, rather, Larry Bailey. Let's do a sound thing for them. Wesker. That doesn't work. Anyway, hey, well done.

Since 2014, and because he's been around for so long, I'm going to send him a little something extra in the mail this month. So watch for that. Oh, look at that. And this means that once in a while I'm going to pick old supporters and, like, just send you something cool, you know, be a little random. This is totally random. I picked them at complete random, but, you know, we won't play any favorites.

If I don't, you know, if I see a name I recognize, they have as much chance as you do as getting pulled. So go over there and find out all the great reasons to join the show, including no commercials ever. Nice pre-show content, every episode, weekly stuff, our couch parties, all this fun stuff. It's all described over there at patreon.com slash TMS. Brian's time to get out of here. And to do that, well, I think we ought to play a song. I guess we could.

Hey, clown baby, Rodin. That's the name. Hey, clown baby. Hello, Sasquatch and Babaduke. I know this is short notice, but my wife and I celebrated our five-year wedding anniversary on October 14th. As TMS doesn't have a show on Fridays,

I'm hoping this can get played on Thursday's show. Well, it didn't. My wife doesn't listen to the show unless she's around me on a car ride. And we're driving to our honeymoon spot on the North Shore of Lake Superior on Thursday, and I think she would get a kick out of hearing this on the show. Our wedding song was Songbird by Fleetwood Mac. Any cover of the song or song similar to it would be awesome to hear. Then he says, Jen, I love you so much, and here's to many more years and exciting adventures ahead of us.

Love the show, though. Hey, Clown Baby from Minnesota. Congratulations. Who the hell is? That's not the wrong. Congratulations. There. Congratulations.

I keep in the wrong way. Who the hell is Hey Clown Baby? You know, our exit clip, you guys have now heard. like four times because I fat-fingered it all morning. I love it. And, yeah, I'm sorry I didn't get to this earlier, but look, you know, you and I both. You got a little bit delayed on getting this out, but it's your anniversary. So, anyway, cover of Songbird.

This is one of those Christine McVee contributions to Fleetwood Mac, which makes it very different than the Lindsay Buckingham style or the Stevie Nix. She's the Tell Me Lies. sweet little. She's the tell me lies and you make love and fun like loving is not fun normally. I don't get it. But anyway, songbird was one of hers and that's covered here by Denison Whitmer, a cover artist that I really, really like, or a musician that I

really like who happens to do a lot of covers. He does such a great job with this one. It came out in 2009 on his album, Recovered, and is the only version I have that doesn't kind of fall into a sweet, wispy, female vocal, acoustic cover. This one goes in a different direction. Here is Fleetwood Mac's songbird covered by Denison Whitmer. Sounds great to me. We'll see you guys tomorrow on a Tuesday edition of the Morning Stream.

for you the sun will be shining and I feel that when I'm with you it's all right I know it's right to you to you give the world

to you I'll never be cold because I feel that when I'm with you it's all right I know it's right of singing like they know the score And I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you like never before

And I wish you all the love and the world But most of all, I wish it from myself And the songbirds are singing like they know the score And I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before. Like never before. This show is part of the Frog Pants Network. Frog Pants Network. Get more shows like this at frogpants.com.
