The morning stream. I take my hat off. The morning stream. I take my hat off for one thing.

One thing only. Good morning and welcome to TMS. It's Monday, November 7th, 2020. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Ibbett. Hello. Shout out to, speaking of Scott Fletcher, who just introed us today.

His daughter did an amazing volleyball run. They ended up losing in the last round or something for the championship stuff. I don't know how far and deep it went, but it's just kind of awesome to see. So Gratz to... I saw those photos on Facebook this week. Yeah, good for Sophie, I believe it was. It was Sophie.

She's a good kid. And it seems like she could kill me now with her strength and height. Anyway, she should be proud parents there, Scott. With a serve to the head. It's where she does it now. Welcome to the show. We got a show to do a whole week of them, really. Yeah.

Stick around. You might find something fun. You might learn something. Yeah. About, for example, yesterday, I thought I'd be funny. Okay. I think I have regrets now. I don't know.

Maybe I don't care. Remember the whole story where I accidentally a peanut flew into the salsa Kim was putting in jars and... Oh, yeah. Or salsa or was it marinera sauce, like spaghetti sauce. Oh, that's right. It was bar as spaghetti sauce. That's right.

I couldn't remember. Yeah. She makes... Well, whatever it was, it was something that ought not to have a peanut in it. No, don't have a peanut in there. It was very much like a Seinfeld Junior Mint and the body kind of moment, you know. Sure. Sure.

I didn't want to say anything. I just kind of left it for where it was. Well, yesterday I did the same thing, but on purpose this time, into a batch, not stuff that's going to be sealed up and put on shelves or given away or whatever, but in a batch of chili she made yesterday for everybody. And so I threw a full-size hole, not a, not shell, not in the shell, but out of the shell. Like half of the two peanuts you typically get in a peanut shell.

Yes, not the half that the one peanut will break into. Right. A whole version of that. One solid oblong sphere of peanut. Yes. Whatever that's called. A conflagration of two peanut halves. I had that.

That's what I used. And I threw it in there. You're not worried about somebody choking? Like, thinking like, yeah, it's a bean, and it turns like, milk. Well, I don't know. I don't feel like you'd choke on a peanut. Maybe. Maybe you could.

Was it in the process of it being cooked? So it'll cook, like, it will soften that. It was after she had done all of the work to it. And now it's just on simmer until dinner. Gotcha. Okay. So they'll soften it to where. It'll soften up, yeah.

But here's the funny thing. So she made just enough for everybody who was coming over, which was Dylan Taylor, the babies. And that's it, I guess. And then us, us too. And so it wasn't a ton. So my thinking was, this will be funny. I'll put the peanut in there. And then during dinner, someone's going to go, why is there a peanut in here?

Ha, ha, ha. I did that. You know, it's going to be that. It's like a king cake, basically. That's the baby of the king cake. Yeah, and if you got it, you know, maybe I'd work out some sort of prize. I don't know. I don't know what I was thinking.

Sure, sure. So I did. The Heimlich maneuver is your prize. Yeah, your prize is I get to situate behind you and pull up on your sternum real hard. So I did that and the night went on and myself included, I'm eating this really good chili. She killed it. It was so good. And everybody's just enjoying it.

And we all kind of get to the bottom of our bowls. I'm like, well, there's a chance that this thing is lower or just didn't get grabbed by the ladle, you know? I don't know. Maybe it's still on the thing. So I went and dug through what was left because there's not a lot. It wasn't a ton left. There's just a little bit left. I went and dug through that.

I can't find that peanut. Really? Oh, geez. So my thinking, Brian, is maybe that peanut dissolved. Or somebody swallowed it and just didn't notice. And just didn't realize it. Just wolf in there, chili down, not even, probably not even. chewing it just yeah yeah it's like eating Thai food you got a little you know spicy peanut on

there you don't even notice you just eat it you know so uh and this was a i think you said or maybe you didn't say was this a meaty chili then because carter yes in iceland you guys are able to well we always do she here's here's what came two batches yeah because kim's crazy and does way too much stuff for my kids so she she'll double everything so that carter's got her vegetarian version and right now it's kind of nice because everything she makes can just straight have meat in it. She doesn't have to worry about alternate versions. But yeah. And I'm, you know what, a nice, there's nothing wrong with a nice vegetarian chili anyway. No, not at all. Not at all. This had turkey in it, ground turkey. I like the turkey. Less, less greasy than the beef.

Yes. Don't want it greasy. No, I don't want it to be greasy. So then, so there's that. No one tell Kim, but there's a peanut somewhere. Who knows? Somewhere in one of your family members, there's a peanut. There is a peanut, yeah. And none of them have allergies, by the way. So I'm not being like flipping about allergies or anything i wouldn't do that so they're all of course god of course he wouldn't so let's look at this like uh let's say van got the peanut yeah he wouldn't say anything he'd be like i guess this is something that's in the chili whatever i'm eating this peanut and he did it no big deal you're right let's say kim got the peanut well she made the chili so the last thing she's going to do is bring up that there's a weird hard thing of the chili so she's not going to

bring it up she's not no you're right who else would maybe dylan maybe ten Taylor. They might. If you had gotten it in your bowl, would you have said something like, oh, I got a peanut. This is the peanut I put in there as a joke. No, that's funny. You say that because I had a plan that if I got the peanut, I would point it out and freak everybody out and like make Kim feel like she screwed up for a bit. And then I would like, then I would go, oh, I'm just kidding. I'm the one that put the peanut in there. You must, you must hate having sex with your wife. It's the worst. I can't do it anymore. So now, so now this is the plan. no it's i'm sure got eaten it's fine everything's good although there's

probably like you'd say if uh taylor or uh dylan uh ended up with it they probably would have brought it up so i'm thinking it might have been either van or kim and they just didn't say anything yeah well today i'm for lunch i'm gonna eat the the little tupperware version of what's left and it's not a ton but if it's in there i'm gonna find it see if you can find it yep i'll report back do you remember a few months ago i was complaining about there's this walk one of the routes I take with the dog there's this thing that says clothes donations only it's for some muscular dystrophy foundation thing oh yeah yeah it's like a um little bin drop-off bin and uh people are only supposed to put clothes in there but they're putting any anything that

they want to really get rid of in their house yeah they're using it like a dumpster basically sure exactly like the back then anyway they would have it's a clothes only but out front there'd be a mattress or there'd be like a bike. Oh, here's an IKEA table that has a broken leg. I'm sure somebody wants this. Yeah, but they can't take it. Their job is literally, they can't take any of them at the clothes. So they just pile up forever.

The HOA Astavico take taken away, whatever. It's a huge stupid thing. But they've been pretty good about it. I've gone by there lately. It's almost always clothes. One time it was full, so it had bags of clothes outside. That's fine. Like, that's clothes.

We get it. It says right there on the sign. Today, I see it. And it's not only got crap. everywhere that isn't close more than usual and it includes and i'm not kidding an entire car was part there somebody just said uh yeah i don't need this car anymore it was a car that was like clearly in some wreck a couple of times the the hood was open the windows are all shattered like it's definitely a junk car and it even had a sign on it that said for donation and then i'm like yeah

but this is clothes only, not a 2,000-pound Ford Fiesta or whatever the shit this is. Right. I was so annoyed by it. I just don't even what to say. Like, do I call the HOA and be one of those people? I don't want to beat those people. Were their clothes in the trunk maybe? And it was just the vessel for bringing the clothes?

Like it's a bag. Like the bags, right? Like, oh, I don't have a bag. I don't know. I'll just put the clothes in the car and then put the park the car there. I mean, I wouldn't put it past whoever did it. It's possible, I suppose. But, yeah, it just, come on, man.

Like, it says right there. You just need to set up the webcam. Like, even if it's not hooked up to anything, just some sort of camera, just to make people a little more honest. I want a camera there. I don't know where you'd put it. I guess you have to put on one of those light poles over there because it's kind of a parking lot that's near the community center. And it's, I don't know. I don't know how hard it would be to do that.

I mean, you really, like you said, you don't even have to enable the camera. You can just actually have the camera up there, like on the light pole pointing to it. Just a fake one with a little red light blinking. Yeah. Yeah, you can get those for like five bucks. Those are pretty good. It's like the, you know, like the kid who's really honest on that, on that video that went viral last week, the people put the Halloween candy out that says, please only take one, you're on camera. And a kid comes up there and takes the entire thing, dumps in his bag, and then double burns the camera.

And then runs. Dude, that kid. Keep your eye on him. Put him on some lists. I'm telling you right now. It's going to be running Twitter someday. I don't trust that guy. Something about him.

Anyway, how about How about we forget about all that We forget about how lame that is And we instead do something fun and positive Oh, positive. I like both of those things. You like that? Okay. Yeah. Well, good news, because Brian Dunaway is just teeming

with positivity. He is. Leaking out of his orifice. Beacon of shiny, smiley goodness is what he is. I agree. And when he's here, everybody feels better. You know, what we're doing really is just stalling because he's not answering.

So we're stalling, we're stalling. He's not answering, we're stalling. Because the boss was in his office a minute ago. Oh, I wonder if he still is. Maybe there's some kind of, no, no, no, no, no going on. He says, oh, hi, my boss was in my office. So implying that his boss is no longer in his office.

Yeah, so Dunaway, why. He also has not liked into the game. Neither of you have liked into the game. Oh, I can do that easy. I don't know if we're going to do a game today. Yeah, we should do a game. I don't know. There's nobody in there.

I'll just play it myself. It doesn't matter. I've got this on a list even of things to do, and I never remember to do it. I don't know why. Don't know what it is about me, but there it is. Okay, Dunaway, where the frick are you, man? Hold on. Let's try that again.

Oh, Dunaway. He normally, if he ends up stuck in a meeting, he'll tell us, but. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe he's not available. Look at the ring of speakage. Maybe he's just kind of blown it all off. Maybe that's it.

I don't know. Chat, what do you think? Brian. I got the I've done away leaving. Look at that. Do you see emotes? You don't see it. I don't see the emotes and I are see.

Do you get the description of the file? I do. It's called Brian D. Slide. Oh, that's great. So you can picture it. It's his little face kind of sneaking off frame, which is pretty awesome. Sliding out of frame. Oh, good news, everybody.

Hello, Brian Dunaway. I hope we didn't interrupt anything. Hi, of course you did. You always interrupt you. Why are you always talking about me? Stop it. That's what we do. It's what we do.

No, you didn't interrupt me. Of course not. Was your boss in your office or something for all that ringing? Yeah, yeah. Just standing on me going, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah. Things going off. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.

Was he in there checking on your, are you doing anything like football this year? Are you staying away from that kind of. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah. Of course, I'm doing fantasy football. Let me see. Let me see how I did last night. I did pretty good last night, I think. Let me see.

You don't really do the fantasy football, do you? Of course I do. Yes, of course I do. Well, you're picturing me wrong. What, don't like things? I like things. I don't like things. I feel like you like things.

Well, see, my record is five and three. Maybe Mattel Fantasy football. Mattel Fantasy football. I like those two. I'm in a, I'm a, a, uh, a three, three, a three, a three, uh, I'm five, I'm five and three right now. Nice job. That's pretty good.

I don't, I never partake because I'm freaking terrible at it. So I don't do it. Well, it's, it's people go, people go, oh, are you big into football? It's like no, I'm big into stats. I like stats. I like stats. Yeah. You're a numbers guy.

I get it. You're like an account. I'm a number number of numbers guy. Currently leading the, the, um, football pickam pool. I can't do fantasy football. That is just way too much maintenance for me. I want to pick 17 games a week and be done with it and walk away and not look back. That's the way.

That's the way to live. You're absolutely doing it. Yeah, I agree with you. Well, I don't know which one anyone else uses, but I'm using the ESPN app. And it's pretty simple. I mean, you can kind of like each week just set it to kind of auto do a bunch of stuff. I mean, you ain't even got to really work hard at it. No, no.

But I'm not going to. It's easy. Hey, well, speaking of easy. Speaking of easy or difficult, who knows what today's game will bring. Brian, why don't you explain this to us and how we're going to play? Yeah, it's time for the morning. Half-asses, a trivia game where I'm going to be giving Scott and Brian the answers. Like, I'm just handing them the answers.

I'm going to give you two a category and six possible answers. Three of those answers are real and true. Three of those answers are fake and false. Depending on how confident you feel with each category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if any of those guesses are wrong, you get zero points for that round. Good day. You get nothing. If you get one right, you get a point, two right, gets you three points, and all three correct answers gets you. Five points. The play with the most points after three rounds, wins the prize for their contestant, and I'm pulling contestants for members of the Tadpool. They aren't able to listen live. Scott, you're going to be playing for DJ Townsend in Lebanon, Indiana.

All right, that's cool. I didn't know they had a Lebanon, Indiana. That's cool. Brian, you're going to be playing for ZECAM in Boston. And I don't know if that's pronounced ZCAM or ZCAM or... Yeah, well, that's okay because you called it Boston and not Boston. Yeah, yeah, you're fine. Baston. Baston. Yeah.

Have your baked beans. Boston, big beans. Yeah. Awesome. All right. Are Boston baked beans, really Boston baked beans? I mean, is that really a Boston thing or is somebody... It is a Boston thing, I think.

I think so. I looked this up not too many years ago. It's right. Yeah, we talked about this on the show. those little candied because they're peanuts right that are candied yeah they're yeah they're they're candy well they call those that but there's also boston baked beans which are actual actual beans yes yeah salted pork bacon yes and uh the the history of it's like a mars bar is not literally a chunk of mars so i mean yeah there you're slow cooked with bacon onions and a sweet

syrupy sauce colonial new england is where this stuff kicked off and uh and the legacy is uh they're known as Bean Town, all that kind of stuff. Now, if you go to Boston Bake Beans, which is the candy, that's made by the Ferreira Candy Company, and it looks like they just call them that, and there's no connection to the city. No connection.

Just, uh, just, we're going to try and usurp all that great, uh, savory Boston beans goodness with our shitty candy. It's what we do. It's what we do here at the, uh, thing. All right, well, that knowledge of being ours. Let's play. Let's see how this goes. I'm very excited. Unfortunately, there's not a question about that, but

I do have a question about the U.S. and food. Name, oh, sorry, I'm going to give you six crops that the U.S. produces. I want you to tell me the three of them that the U.S. produces more than any other country. So crops that the U.S. produces more of than any other country. And as usual, there are three is per usual, right? That's always the church. It's three. It's always three.

All right. Otherwise it would be three quarter asses or one-third asses. That's a good point. The half, the half and asses. Half amplifiers. Oh, my God. All right. Almonds, grapes, corn, spinach, avocados, and strawberries.

Which of those three crops does the U.S. produce more of than any other country? I'm pretty sure I know these. Okay. And PDs you're near these. I know at least two of them. So we're going to get, we're going to get conservative and do two. Okay. one of them I know for 100% yeah shut up there we go this is my this is my third week of having a zero every time yeah oh yeah no pressure I'm not doing it this time all right I don't mind losing but being blown out no yeah well you guys both said corn of course corn we produce more corn than any of course corn I got a point almonds got also said and that is correct too so the other one is

strawberries. China produces more grapes and spinach than the U.S. and Mexico is the leading producer. Oh, they're big pop-I fans over there. Yeah. They are. I hovered over that strawberries, and I didn't tell you. Did you really? Wow. I was that size of like, I don't know, man, I don't want to push my luck here. Because between spinach and strawberries, it felt like a toss-up. I think I say you click spinach first and then turn it off. Yes, I did. Because corn and almonds, I don't know, those sound like corn for sure. Like, we wing, we make way too much freaking over. Yeah. We have in states that are nothing but corn. Yeah.

Exactly. We're more, we're hardcore corn. Sorry, go ahead. Hard corn. Hark, car, corn. All right. All right. Well, well, well, done.

You guys both have points on the board, which is something we haven't seen in a few weeks. Let's get to question number two. Shut up. Words attributed to William Shakespeare. So, you know, the great bard, the, uh... Right, right, right, right, right. He, uh, he, he, uh, he invented some words in all of his plays and stories. Oh, he made these up.

Three of them he did anyway, which three of these words are attributed to William, will. I.m., Will.I.M., Shakespeare. See, Brian, this is a, this puts the half in there. There's three of them. There's half of the six. That's right. Half. Half asses, see. Half of these are real. Half of these are faky fakes. They're all faky fakes.

Well, I mean, in a way, he made up words that we then used. and that's faky in a way sure but we did yeah I was surprised by that how much stuff came out of Shakespeare shit yeah in the kind of vernacular it is amazing all right you guys are both locked in

you guys both locked in on Daffy Daffy of course being the name of a duck and not a word invented by William Shakespeare neither is walkabout which I'm going to say was just invented by some weird Australian person. Birthplace

was created by William Shakespeare as our rant and drugged. Dugged? That makes sense because she was like the Shakespeare, the Oh my God. You're thinking of Romeo and Juliet.

Yeah, she got drugged. Everything he talks about is drugs. Drugged. Drug surprised me. When I was doing these myself, before I saw the answers, I said Daffy rant and birthplace. I did not think drugged was. Well, good job. job on rant and bird place though he talks it he talks about poisoning a lot in his in his stories yeah he does but you know so but the word drug so he just created the past tense of the verb yeah that's weird

it's attributed to that what's the pretty weird or did we start calling drugs drug because he said drugged oh i don't know i don't know i don't know i'm not shakespeare i'm not going down that rabbit hole i have no idea let's get to question number three yeah question number three question number three we uh you know we've got uh william uh not william shatner we go from william shatner we go from william shatner who famously went to space and said oh jesus oh jesus what other animals what other animals have been to space your choices are canary mole rat pig snail tortoise and cat oh jesus all of us there is right there There he is. I just heard him. Yeah, it's him.

All right, this is interesting. I feel like almost all of these are test-worthy. Thanks for Rangers. You liked my transition there going through Shakespeare to William Shatner. All right. I'm going all in because I'm ahead and I feel like I have the option that kind of go all right here. Amy Haydickney. I'm working on.

I'm going to Ibit. There. Okay. All right. I can feel you're breathing down my neck. Yep. Well, you've both locked in on snail, canary, and pig. Oh, wow. That means we're probably wrong. That doesn't mean it's wrong. Yeah.

Canaries and pigs have not been to space. Damn it. Neither have mole rats. But snails, tortoises, and cats. Brian, you turned out, you originally had cat. And puppy dog tails. Yeah. Well, I thought about it. I'm like, it makes the most sense. But then I'm like, man you know if a dog freaks out in space you can kind of manage him a cat oh my god if you could

feel like if a dog freaks out in space it's that's like big enough to take some hoses out and stuff no you can you can sit on a dog you can't sit on a cat there's there's no there's no wranglins of cats they you can't hold on to it's true that's true i'll tell you that uh the snail went to space in 1998 the tortoise went to space in 1968 and the cat All the way back in 1963 went to space. Wow. Here's my logic. Every time you turn around, they're like, we're burying pigs out in this place

so we can see how they decompose because they're like humans or something. Yeah, that's where my head was, too. And so, yeah, that's why that's why I thought too. And then I'm like, we always take canaries with us. Just like, here, try to fly in space. Let's see how that works. Yeah, the whole canary in a coal mine or canary in the cold void of space or whatever. Let's see if the canary dies in space.

Oh, it didn't? Okay, then we'll go up. Yeah, we'll go up to space. It's fine. A long tradition. Pig is like, they always say there's, wasn't the cat, like, no, the dog was Lyca. Oh. There was a famous cat in space, I thought, hmm.

Wow. What's your famous cat in space? Space cat. Space cat. The adventures of space cat. And yes, Jedi 71, most of these animals don't come back. The cat did not come back after being in space. I'll bet none of them did.

I bet none of them. I bet none of them. Some of the dogs came back. Did they? Did they? Did they? the dogs come back? The Russian dog did.

Some of the dogs, not all of them. I think that Russian dog came back, I think. The famous Russian dog. Cosmo came back, but then he just joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. Yeah, that's true. Which is real. That's a real thing. Totally real thing.

So, Scott, congratulations. You win. And by proxy, so does DJ Townsend, who's going to be getting a copy of Naruto to Boruto, Shinobi Striker, as well as Suzerane, Suzerane, Suzerian. Suzerian. And suzerain? Souserang.

I don't know what that is. It comes right back to you. I almost know what every one of these always is when you bring them, but I don't know what that is. Never heard of that. I've never heard of that one. And of course, Broken Age is what Z-Cam is going to be getting. I help pay for that game. I help support it when it was on Kickstarter, and I love it on the Steam deck.

It's fun and easy to play on the Steam deck. Yeah, very good on there. Great controller support. Broken Age going to Z-Cam. Nicely done, you two. Congratulations. You're both winners. Brian will send you this stuff

because he has your info. So watch for that coming in the email. It's a process right now. Brian Dunaway and I tomorrow will be sinking our teeth into the five greatest 8-bit and 16-bit wrestling games of all time on Play Retro. It'll be fun. I'm looking forward to it. Hey, Dunaway, you've been playing

a lot of those. Tell everybody your clear favorite so far. What do you like in the grouping? Did we lose Brian Dunaway? Is he not there? Oh, Brian? He's muted. He's not. He's His headset probably died. Oh,

Oh, Donoey. Oh, I feel like. Donoey. Are you there? Dunaway's been to space. I'm getting out of. He's gone. So we, so I don't know what happened there, but he, yeah, we're doing that tomorrow.

Play Retro at frogpans.com slash play retro. Check it out. We'll talk all about your favorite wrestling games of your, and, uh, it's the only wrestling I actually like. I don't pay attention really to pro wrestling. I never really have other than the pop culturey stuff or when somebody crosses over like The Rock or John Cena or something, but I don't really pay attention to the sport itself. But when I, but when it came to video games, I loved them.

Love them. Really? Okay. Yeah, they're basically just like fighting games. Because I never got into the sport. I never got into the games based on the sport. It's weird that I think the, I actually think the video games are more realistic than the sport because the sport is staged, right?

And the games, you at least, you do have to like grab a guy and throw in. You have to, you have to, you have to, you, you fulfill. That's true, yeah. You fulfill the fantasy in a more one-to-one ratio, I think, in a game format than you do watching video guys fake-hating each other and stuff. I'm not saying they're not athletic and not freaking, you know, they go nuts out there. And it's not what I'm saying. But nobody's, you know, nobody's actually being real. Anyway, I don't know why I'm saying this.

I feel like saying this in 2022 is like redundant and stupid, but I'm saying it. All right, let's get to some news. Here we go. it's time for the news and it's brought to you by brought to you by being awakened by judy dench took a nap with the dog was super comfortable it's a sunday afternoon perfect time for all this got a big old whimeriner on my lap fall asleep i fall asleep and the next thing i hear that wakes me up is the voice of judy dench saying the following words tits up she says and it was in some yes from sky

fall was that uh tit's up James did some it's something she narrated and it's like a wedding British wedding movie thing it's a comedy I don't know much about it Kim was like in the middle of it and she

suddenly Judy Dent's just the first thing I heard and it kind of freaked me out to be honest never heard her say that before Willamina going going hard anyway let's get to the first story here Michigan mom in the news Michigan mom you know her you're familiar with Michigan

Michigan mom I am not. Is she a Yupor? She's a, oh, is that what they call them? Is she a Yupor, Michigan mom? I think, but if Michigan mom was real, what would her power be? Give her her power. Able to, well, 50% chance that she's able to tell people where she lives by holding up her hand and pointing to part of it.

Nice. See, that's a good power. I think she's going to go place. Brian Downway's computer crashed. I was popping into figure out what was going on. He says, F this day up the bum. Love you. See you soon.

That's a bummer. Well, good thing he's in charge of IT at this place he works. He'll take care of whatever problems he's got. Anyway, Michigan Mom makes hilarious meatloaf resembling her son. This is Melissa Sunario of Mezik, Michigan, or Meesik. Me sick. Me sick. Oh, me sick.

Ah, me sick of Michigan. Seems to take the phrase to a whole new level after she prized. her son recently with a dinner that was pretty personal. She presented her 17-year-old Colin with a large meatloaf that resembled his face. The mom included shredded cheese for the hair, green olives for the eyes, red peppers for the eyebrows,

and white onions for the teeth. I'd like to now share a photo of this. Right there, by the way, is where MISIC is, or Messick. It's right there. Oh, it's right there on your hand. Because that's what they do. They point at their hand. They show you where they're from.

If they're lower peninsula, then they can show you where they're from on their hand. Yeah, because their hand looks like Michigan. Which is pretty great. All right. Oh, wait, I got to clear this game. There we go. So here it is, you guys. Look at that.

Boy, howdy. Wow. What a good-looking rendition. Her son must be. Oh, there he is. What a handsome boy rendered in meat and food. What do you guys think? That's actually really cute.

I mean, that's the pre-by-the-way. That's the pre-bake. I want to know what that shredded cheese and all that stuff looked like. Scrolled out. It's in further down. Yeah. Oh, geez. I don't like it.

Oh, I don't like that at all. I don't like that. It went from Tom Cruise to Ted Cruz. Yeah, I did. In short order. Anyway, it's kind of cute. Wow, that's cute. That's really sweet.

That would share a cute story today. And now, more meat stories. Oh, good. Oh, thank goodness. Yeah. Three people charged in a $9 million meat heist across the Midwest. Can't wait for it. the

Mexican series coming to Netflix. Meat heist? Oh, yeah. Meat heist, yes. I can't wait to see who's directing meat heist. Three people are facing charges of what authorities are calling a months-long multi-million dollar scheme targeting meat packing facilities across the Midwest. This includes Minnesota. Delvis Fuentes, Yoslana del soy, and Ledier

Andino. Boy, these names. Wow. I'm glad you had to pronounce those. Have you been in an accident? Call the law firm. Afonte is no soul and Andino. Yep, sounds better. How about how much you deserve?

It says that they are being charged with illegal transport of stolen goods and money laundering in the case. Agents said Homeland Security says the investigation began in late June when the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office in Nebraska was notified of the theft of two trailers loaded with beef. We're at 390 grand All that beef That's a lot of beef That's a lot of beef Here's the thing So they have to be still in the trailers

Yeah Because you steal that much meat Where are you going to put it To keep it from spoiling before you can offload it Right? That's a great question You've got to deal with that meat quickly And you've got to have a, if you're going to get

If you're going to fence it, you have to have a buyer then Like right then Exactly Like they have to be part of it The three-week-old meat? Who wants to buy it? I'll start the bidding. We got freeway meat.

Hot freeway meat. Hot freeway meat. It says here the cops, when law enforcement found the trailers, they were empty. They didn't say how long that took, though. Okay. Search for data from the cell phone tower near where the trailers were stolen. Turned up hits for phones belonging to three residents. And that's these people we mentioned.

Later, cell phone data put the trio in Nebraska. at various times between June and October in a press release on Tuesday, spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security and Omaha agents have connected the trio to 45 thefts of beef and pork plants across Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin,

totaling 9 million. I would just like to say I think we have our entire plot for season 6 of Fargo. Done. Yeah, you're done. Yeah, those are all the places they go. They're dealing with those the what's the the

I forget what they call them the Nebraska mob or whatever Uh huh Like the Omaha all that Look it's all done And they're all in the South Dakota So you're in actual itself Yeah this is it

Somebody call Noah Hawley and tell him Tell him half his job is done Billy where are we going to offload all this meat That's right I am very excited for season six It's already being made Yeah yeah

Oh I can't wait I love that show so much Um, anyway, so there's that. Don't steal meat is the lesson, I guess, because now you're arrested and, uh, they're charged. Yeah. Uh, let's see here. You probably get the meat sweats when you're stealing meat, right? That's going to say, or when you end up in jail, think of all the people, you'll meet in jail.

Yeah, yeah, that's the meat sweats. Or really, more importantly, who'll meet you in jail. Yeah. Who you're going to get meted, meated by in jail? Um, all right. we got a story that needs telling this world's tallest woman in the news, yeah, she holds the record currently.

Brianna of Tarth, is that? Oh, way bigger than her. I'll bet she's... Well, let's see, they say her height. I think it's seven feet, something. Yeah, there's seven foot 7.07 inches tall. So basically 7 feet exactly.

Wow. It says here. All right, so the world's tallest woman takes her first flight on an airplane after the airline removed six economy seats make it possible. That's nice. Wow. Six.

I'm surprised it wasn't 20 seats the way they are these days. I'm just surprised they do that. Seriously, I am surprised they'd do that many because, you know, I can see maybe doing two and two. So four seats, right? Like, we'll take out two because maybe she's also too wide to, although she doesn't, she doesn't appear to be super wide. She looks like she'd fit just fine in a seat. Yeah, she's pretty thin or slim.

Did they have to layer her down lengthwise in the plane? Oh, good question. Maybe that's the deal is they had to take out. Yeah, but still three rows should be fine. I agree. Right? I agree. Yeah, I don't know why they went that crazy.

Maybe they just wanted to make a thing out of it. Basically, okay, her name is Rumizia Gelgi. Stand seven feet tall. named the world's largest woman, sorry, tallest woman by Guinness Book of World Records. Turkish Airlines applied or adapted on one of their planes to allow her to drive to San Francisco in September, removing six seats, replacing them with a special stretcher for her to travel for the 13-hour flight. She is on a kind of permanent walker. Oh, my God. I mean, people this tall, they have the bone situation's rough, man.

Yeah, yeah. It's not good. So it's nice. It's kind of nice. 13-hour flight. And having to be recline, like laying down on a stretcher that whole time, that is, that's not good for the back. Yep. Oh, no, it's not, right?

Oh, because that thing is, that's a thin-ass stretcher. That's a two-inch thick pad on that stretcher. Yeah. And what if you had a choppy air at all? Like, oh, man, yeah. That would suck. This is, this sounds like the worst experience ever. Although this photo of her and her little friend there, they look like the start and the end of our nesting, or,

Russian nesting doll set. You know what I mean? Like she's got a bunch of them in her still, and this one's the lady who needs to go in last. I don't know. It's cracking me up. All right. Well, there's that story.

I hope she had fun in San Francisco. Didn't say why she was going there. She claims it was a flawless journey from start to finish. They had to lay her down in a cable car, too, so that she could enjoy writing around San Francisco. Yeah, that sounds right to me. All right. some advice for everyone listening okay this important stuff okay oh gosh i love this is like a public

service announcement yesa yep uh please don't lick this particular psychedelic toad the national park service warns thank you grace slick i'm going to show you let's see oh we have a picture of the particular psychedelic toad yeah and he doesn't look that scary just well he does in this black and white footage he's like looking at a security camera and he's all free Why do they have it on night vision? I don't know. That's hilarious. I don't know.

Who knows? But the one down lower, he looks more like a normal frog. Oh, there we go. Oh, geez, looks like every toad. Yeah, just kind of a toad among toads. Anyway, if you lick it, you're in trouble as tasty as it might look. You should refrain from licking the Sonoran Desert Toad, according to the National Park Service. They have just warned on Tuesday, the NF, or sorry, MPS used Facebook to warn passers-by to use caution around this toad.

also known as the Colorado River Toad, Brian. Oh, look at that. The amphibian is one of the largest toads found in North America measuring up to seven inches, according to the Facebook post. The Toad's Call is a distinctive low-pitched toot. It's a low-pitched toot. Toot. You know what?

Now I want to hear it. Hold on. I want to hear the low-pitched toot. Because they don't put it in here, but I'm going to find it on YouTube real quick. Let's see. Sonoran Desert Toad. What kind of experience? would you have to be guaranteed for you to lick a toad?

Like what complete and total enlightenment? Are you able to see the future? Oh my gosh, Brian. That's such a great question because I'm repulsed by the concept, period, just because you're licking an eff and toad. It could just be psychedelic, you know, just a druggy experience. I could get that from something else. But what would the result have to be for you?

You know what would have to be? it would have to be like complete and total clairvoyance like just okay all right i now understand the world in a way that is impossible for anyone else to do unless you lick this toad that's the only way i'd do it sure and you'd have to guarantee me i'm not going to have a bad trip all right yeah there you go i don't want to have to be permanent and not just like five minutes of yes yes yes it wanted to be a part of who i am i always hear people that do mushrooms they always say that it sticks with you like that and i don't mean the material i mean like the the the the Whatever, if you had a good experience, it like, it changes your outlook.

You actually, you know, retain the experience or whatever. I apparently did not do enough because I don't remember, I mean, I remember the experience of having mushrooms and I don't remember any sort of euphoric feeling or anything. Like it was, they might as well have been, been, uh, crimeany mushrooms in, uh, cramony mushrooms in, in mushroom sauce or something. Might as well just be a can of Campbell's tomato or mushroom soup. Oh, I like those. Is it bad that I like those? They're not great. What, Campbell's cream mushroom soup?

Yeah. Or even, I mean just like canned, the squishy little can rubbery mushrooms. Those, here's the thing. They like them. Right. No, there's nothing at all wrong with those. And those are, I think, better on pizza than fresh mushrooms that turn into, that dry up and turn into jerky. Oh, I completely agree.

I think we talked about this once, but the reason that those things dry up is because, look, A fresh mushroom has its thing in the world, right? It's good. But don't put that on a thing and shove it in an oven and cook it at $3.50 for 20 minutes. Right. So, yeah, I totally agree. You want a wet little boogerie one. Put that fresh mushroom in my marinera sauce, put it in some butter and put it on my steak

or just give it to me raw with some ranch, dip, whatever. I'll take it. But if it's a pizza, you best be giving me some pickle-ass rubber mushrooms. That's right. Some pickle-ass rubber mushrooms is what we want. last rubber mushrooms. All right. Here's the Sonoran Toad desert or desert toad.

Oh, we found the audio? Yeah, I found some sound. Here we go. Let me play this. Oh, interesting. It's not a toot. Well, it's nothing like they said a D. Boy.

But it certainly has a strong, healthy urine stream. He's in a little creek. That's what happens when you pick them up. They make that noise, too. The ones I love are the ones that kind of scream. when you touch him. Oh, yeah. Like a screaming frog or toad is something else, man.

I still can't quite get used to that. That when turtles hump, which is my favorite nature documentary. When turtles hump with David Attenborough. Yes. Anyway, don't do this. And here's why the amphibians are the largest in the thing. The toads found across American Southwest also boast another unique feature. They have a prominent parroted gland that secretes a potent toxin.

They're just behind their eyes where these glands are. Okay. I don't like the term gland. It's never like... Perotid, I think. I'm guessing. Yeah, maybe. Parodotid gland, but I'm...

Oh, is it parodotid, not paired, whatever I said? I think, you know, I'm just guessing here. Could be. Just because of carotid arteries being spelled the same way. Toxic can make... These toxins can make humans sick if they touch the toad or put one in their mouth. Who's doing that? I know.

Put the whole toe to you. That's like... I'm not sure which part of this thing I need to lick. I'm just going to go and put the whole thing in my mouth. Kind of suck it like a lozenge. Sorry, Southerners. Sorry, not sorry. Let's see.

The toxins emitted by one of the snoring deserts may be enough to kill a fully grown dog. So in a human's case, it'll probably just make them really sick. If you smoke them, so you have to like squeeze the stuff off and get it in a form, you can smoke. It's a powerful psychedelic. Or just light the whole toad. I'm not sure which part of it you want. So just light the whole to hold on fire and put it in your mouth. Just suck it from its anus to its face and you just get all the high you need from that their toad.

Exactly. Fantastic. All right. We'll be careful out there, kids. That's what we're saying. I don't know that I've ever been in the presence of a toad that or any amphibian that was like super poison except for a, I guess, a rattlesnake a couple of times. But I don't think I've ever been around something like dangerous. to me that I know of.

I probably wasn't. I didn't know it. Like the three weeks I, in my 20s, I carried a, um, uh, what was it, a water moccas in my pocket. It was a baby. And I thought it was a garter snake. I didn't know. And it does, they're not poisonous until about four weeks in.

So you got rid of it just in time. Just in time. Somebody said, what do you got in your pocket? I go, that's just a snake. He goes, oh, boy, I was in Mississippi. Boy, you need to get rid of that there snake. That's a, that's a water moxin. That thing going.

They're going to kill you. They're going to bite your rat in the testicle and kill you, basically. Oh, my God. And I said, okay. And I let it go. And his name was Charlie. Charlie, the three-week-old water moccas. Yeah, the water moccasin, the venomous creature I kept in my pocket.

Pocket snake. Pocket snake. From Ronco. Yeah. Where did all these mother-effin pocket snakes get on this mother-reffin pocket? All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, our old pal Steven Schleiker will be here. We got some stuff to talk about, including a question for him while a text.

about him. Cool. So we'll do that. And then he's got a few things as well. And more. So stick around. Hey, Brian, play a song first before we go here. I would happily do that.

Dana Bowie of Akron family has a brand new album called Experiments in Plant Base Music. Oh, thank goodness. We're finally moving to plant-based music because, you know, the former way is just leaving too big a carbon footprint. Well, Brian, it's just much more sustainable to get your music for plants. It is. It's a greener album. You got to love that. yeah um this is actually really really good i listened to the whole album this morning and uh and pick

this song from it this actually actually does happen to be uh the one he released a brand new video for here is dana buoy and the song african violet We're going to be proud. Bearded helm pushing through The touch I give to Earth around All the way.

All the way of past, listen to me, all the way, best, listen, me, all the way. Inside, outside, no. different to me I know the temper I feel the temper oh St. Paulian Oh, St. Paulian

Oh, hey all of us, is something, me. Oh, hey all of us is something. Inside, outside, no different to me. I know the temper. I feel the temper. St. Paulia. Oh, St. Pauline. Find it, old violent.

Blown in the breeze Now, scare me African violet But we don't have enough automots to fight all those deceptive rats. Amanda Ata, Ata, Raca, Teda, Baca, Sanda, Ata, Ambo. The Morning Stream. Oh, I love your suits. It must have been a bitch to get a 68 extra fat and a 12 dwarf.

I tell you, I found like a refugee folder full of stuff I forgot Fletcher recorded, and that's why I have all these new ones lately. Oh, good deal. Excellent. I'm glad we're getting some new ones because I don't know where half this came from. I don't even know where it came from, to be honest. Most of these, I don't know where I got him, why he recorded him for me. They're not, I've had to go in and add some of the, this is the morning stream bits to the front and back of them.

Yeah. But they're just this treasure trove folder I found. So now I've got, I thought I had about 200 from him. I think I've got closer to 500. Oh, thank goodness. I love it. I know. Anyway, sorry.

Hey, who was that band again that you played there? Yeah, that was Dana Bowie, B-U-O-Y. Dana Bowie. Don't spell it like David Bowie, because that's not at all what the name is. Dana Bowie, a brand-new album called Experiments and Plant Base Music, Volume 1, just came out today on Ever-loving Records. That song you heard was African Violet. Love that name, Ever-loving Records.

That's good. Ever-loving Records. Oh, Ever-loving Records. Yeah, I like a thing that sounds like an old guy complaining, you know? It totally does. I'm a fan. What the ever-loving records is going on here? What the frick.

All right, here's this. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Everyone's favorite comic book lord, finger on the pulse of the American way. I don't know what that means. Stephen Schlecker joins us. It's November 7th, so the pulse is very weak. Yeah, is that it?

Fresh off a thousand episodes of the major spoilers podcast. That was super fun to be. By the way, I really had a good time. Thank you, Scott, for being there with us. It was a great time. We talked a little bit about milestones in podcasting. And so Scott has some great stuff to share. And then the show, as usual, just totally went off the rails.

So everybody can go and... Yeah, you want to see why a thousand shows exist in the first place. I think it was a good example of why. It was a great time. Everybody laughed. And congratulations. That's no small feat for a weekly. Thank you.

Thank you. It's really awesome. Well, it's good to have you here. We're going to talk about some stuff that had been going on. But first, we start with a tech. from a listener regarding you and your segment, all right? I haven't shown you this, so you don't, you know, you have no idea what this is. But we got this one that says, hey, Jeff here from Indianapolis.

I also go by Liquid Smoke 2517. Yeah, that's a lot of liquid smokes. It's a lot. Do you remember that stuff? We're all of a similar age. Do you guys remember in like back of comic books or in like hobby shops or whatever? You could buy that like smoke you'd make with your fingers? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Basically, it's like a little goo that you put between your fingers and as you flick it out, it creates little trails of that stuff is probably giving us all finger cancer for all I know but I used to love going from asbestos we used to go to we'd go to school what do you call the everybody would get together

what's that called in the in the school no no no not the what do you call it recess what did you call Brian what'd you say detention no the one where you all would gather in the thing oh an assembly assembly geez like the Avengers we would assemble

all right anyway that's where we'd pull out that that's finger smoke stuff and we would just like they'd be showing something to the projector and we're like doing this and we're making it look like that's great so liquid smoke thanks for reminding me of that he says he's that on the tadpole and in Twitter on the Twitter says correct me if I'm wrong

but didn't you just see Liam Hensworth in that weird movie with him and the rock where he robbed an armored car depot that is correct we did yeah Empire State I think it was called and he and he, that beautiful TransA, and he had, I think is what he means to say, beautiful Trans Am

for no reason at all. Also, kind of surprised you guys didn't talk about the James Gunn deal prior to major spoilers. With him being in charge of DC Comics going forward. You know, it might be because we're going to talk about it right now. Because, so two weeks ago

is when it happened. Remember, I came on and I said, you know who should be in charge at DC? It was Sam Register who I said should be in charge. And then later that afternoon is when they dropped the news that James Gunn and the other person was taking over. Since then, both James Gunn and I'm sorry, the other person's name, Peter, have been fairly silent until this weekend when James Gunn went on Twitter and he's like, hey, listen, I opened up Twitter after a very long time away. I don't blame him. and he's like so much fan support, so much feedback from everyone, you know, lots of good stuff coming.

And I think the big thing out of his Twitter thread is this statement. But all of our initial focuses on the story going forward, hammering out the new DCU and telling the biggest story ever told across multiple films, television shows, and animated projects. That sounds like they got a plan. It does sound like a plan, doesn't it? And that's a wide, that's, that's everything. Like, yeah, that's what that is, that is all. He was responding to, like, things about, uh, uh, legends of tomorrow. And, and then what's, so, people were also, uh, doing this air cut or saying, release the air cut.

What's the air cut? What, which movie is, uh, is he's, that's the first, uh, suicide squad. Oh, gotcha. Okay. Yeah. David Air made that. And he, apparently there's a cut of that that is like the bomb that the studio wouldn't approve or something. And so everybody's begging for the air cut and have been for years. So maybe that means that's happening.

I don't know. Brian, what's the biggest story ever told in the DCU, do you think? Crisis on Infinite Earths would be my guess. That's my guest, too. You know, if you're talking about the biggest story ever told and you're going to tell it across all of these different platforms, then I think this is the way you need to do it.

And Scott had just recently read Ghostbusters Crossing Over for the Major Spoilers podcast. and if you listen to last week's podcast, we absolutely did not talk about Ghostbusters Crossing over. Brian, he sent me the wrong link, but it made for hilarious podcast. Oh, that's hilarious. I love it.

It's like when I watch Lethal Weapon One for a lethal weapon two film sack. Exactly. But in that, in that, one of the cool things that they did for the art is that if you've got a Ghostbusters from the IDW series, it was drawn in their style. If you've got the animated series, it's drawn in their style.

If you're doing it from one of the other Ghostbusters animated series, it's drawn in their style. Same story, but just different art? No, no, no. It's all of these characters interacting. So you may have three Peter Venkman's on panel, and they're all drawn in a different art style. Would it be the craziest thing ever to have Michael Keaton Batman? Right, next to a question bail Batman talking to a, yeah. To an animated series Batman.

And it's animated Batman in the frame. with them. What was the, there was, um, what's the thing that they just did that was kind of like this? I know into the spider verse is kind of like this. There was a, uh, was it duck, not duck tails, rescue rangers where they had. Oh yes. Uh-huh. Chippendale were different Yeah, one of them had gone through the procedure and become 3D. CGI versus cell animation. The Simpses, the treehouse of horror last week did this. No, I'm saying it. It is so good. It is better than it should be. Yeah, I heard that's great. this.

Yeah. Saw it was directed Disney release and we're just like, this has got to be the worst piece of crap ever. Yeah. It is the, it is the spiritual successor to Who Frame Roger Rabbit. Oh, cool. All right. I'm in.

I've heard really good things about it. Um, so the, the, uh, what was I going to say? This reminds me a little bit of that segment, that very brief moment in, um, the Dr. Strain sequel where everyone's animated. I really like that stuff. So yeah. More of that, that'd be cool. But moreover, don't you think, don't you feel like,

Like, James Gunn has, obviously has CRED, right? I mean, he's still got a Guardian's three to come out. And so that'll be, I guess, I suppose, for the next five years anyway, the last Marvel thing he'll be able to do. Yep. But do you think that his, he tends to kind of bring an edge to things like Guardian or a suicide squad and quirky comedy. Yeah. Edge. Yeah.

I think it's a really good call. I'm very excited about it. Oh, I mean, for sure. I mean, just imagine. the tears flowing at the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths where Golden Age Superman and Golden Age Lois have to basically

say goodbye to the universe and everyone that they love as the universe fades out. What if they do? Spoiler alert. Sorry for you sorry, Scott. Sorry, chat. What if they end up doing Kingdom Come instead? That's a good one. That's a good run. That one would also be

really good, but I don't think that that is a greatest story ever told across multiple formats. Yeah. I think we probably, you guys are right about what it is. Well, it was, yeah, and I think, boy, I still would love to see identity crisis. Is that the one with Dr. Light? Yes, but that one's kind of weird, also very softened, but yeah. Oh, yeah, very weird creepy.

Don't do that for your first act. Do that for your second. No, no, no, no, because, I mean, there's like rape and brainwashing and, you know, people getting burned to death, all that stuff. Still one of the greatest. Also, spoiler alert. I was going to say, still one of the greatest DC stories I've ever read, but... It is creepoid on so many different levels, though. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Well, we'll see what they do. I'm very excited. I just wish it was going to be... I wish it would yield faster results. I feel like we're all going to be waiting a long time for... Well, there's a new Batman script on the table. We do have, hopefully, next year, or sometime, the new Aquaman movie coming out.

Who knows what's going to happen with the Flash movie, although, you know, if you're talking about a multi- That Flash movie and the Batgirl movie are kind of the linchpins for launching that whole crisis on Infinite Earth stuff. Yeah. Do you think just, well, I mean, obviously, we don't know what these movies are going to be like. I don't even want to think about the Flash movie. I mean, he's done his apology to her, so I'm sure Warner Brothers is fine with it. And with Zazlov, that guy doesn't know what he's doing.

So he's like, yeah, let's have more of that. Yeah. Let's turn it into the world's most deadliest catch, but with Flash in it. Let's do that. Well, anyway, that's interesting. Well, let's talk about a few other things. Black Adam did okay. Well, I shouldn't say did okay.

Did really well, money-wise. For another week where hardly anything major came out. Yeah, and they're going to lose it. Black Panther's about to wipe that out. So the Panther takes out the atom. That's the way it works. Anyway. Yeah, brought in only $18.5 million over the weekend.

Yeah, that's tail end, I think. But they did enough to, I mean, they've more than made their money. I just keep hearing that it's. It's just so mediocre as an actual hero film or as a DC film. That's too bad. It is too bad because I don't know. I like the Rock. He's fine.

I can smell what he's cooking. It's fine. Are we predicting any surprises for Wakanda forever? No. No big reveals like a, you know, a Stinger. By the way, here's another character that we're going to introduce the Stinger. Maybe. Kind of like they did at the end of Eternals.

Introduce the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Universe. I'm predicting Dr. Doom. Dr. Doom. That would be interesting. Proper, proper Dr. Doom. A proper Dr. Doom. Not blogger turned mad guy. Like none of that bullshit that did before.

This is like a real Doctor Doom. Like a real, no, no dude from Niptuck, no angry blogger, Dr. Doom. But give me an actual real ass. Ah, Latviria, now that Wakanda is weakened, Latviria will take over. Yep. I want that too. And he needs to be in the metal thing and then the green cloak, you know, that's what I, and I want him to be like, oh, what's going on you guys? I'm a bad guy. Look at. I want to be all like echoey. What's what I want? Yeah. Give me that. Real Dr. Do you. So we haven't, we haven't heard anything. So they already had the premiere. A bunch of people have already seen it. The reporters have already seen it. So I'm wondering, man, they're either being told Disney will, come and hunt you down in your sleep and murder you if you spoil that. But you would think somebody would have said something by now. I would think so, yeah.

I would have thought as well. I don't know. We'll see. I'm glad. I'm glad I'm staying away from any spoiler channels. And fortunately, I'm going to be in Anaheim at the Mecca, at the Disney Mecca. Oh, there you go.

For a couple days. Are you going to see it there? Or watch it when you go back? No, we're seeing it with a bunch of Denver tadpoolers on Thursday. So basically, fly back from Anaheim, drop our stuff off at the house, pet the dog, get back in the car, drive to the restaurant and the theater to meet up with the Denver Time Poolers. Sounds like fun. I have a bit of a curse on Brian Ibitt. What's that?

What's that? So, you know, for a month, he played up this Marvel Snap game. Yeah. And so yesterday, I had, it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and I was like, I think I'm pretty. pretty much done for the day, I guess I will open up this snap game and see what all the hullabaloo is about. And I sit down and I'm playing and I'm realizing that there's this season two with Spider-Man in it. And I have, I'm just starting the game. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I start about 4 o'clock. The next thing I know, it's 1130 at night. And Scott's message me and going,

you didn't send us an email. Usually I get this stuff like way early from Stephen. And I'm like, Oh, I hope everything's okay. I've been playing Snap for way too long. Oh, my gosh. Wow. That's awesome. Well, good. It's an addictive game.

It really is. They really figured out the secret sauce with the keeping things fresh with the locations, good variety with cards. It's, yeah. Do you ever play smash up? I did. It's a card game, right? Like an actual physical card game? Oh, yes.

It's a card game. You have these different factions. Yeah, you have these different facts. And you smash them together, which is, I'm not saying it's like this, although I've got an X-Men deck and I've got an Avengers deck and I've got a fantastic four deck already built. But the fact that you're taking all these characters and smashing together, in smash up, you have all of these different, for lack of a better word, islands that you're trying to get the highest score on each one of those islands to crack it so that you get the points for that island. and whoever has the most points or whoever gets a certain point threshold wins the game. So there's a little bit of that I feel going on

in here. So you've got a little hearthstone, a little smash-up, and this kind of hits my sweet spot because I can play a very quick game. I feel like I heard Ben Brod mentions. Hundreds and hundreds of very quick games. Yeah, they're all very quick. I swear I heard Ben Brod once say smash-up was part of the inspiration. Like they actually acknowledge that, yeah,

which is cool. I like that, though. Put in the best parts of stuff and make it work. And that game's great. Absolutely. It's the things I didn't, that I did like about Harthstone without the things I didn't like. Now, I don't know what they're. There are no Marvel characters in Heartstone.

Brian's maximum level, whatever it is. What level are you? What level are you? I am, you mean like collection level? Yeah. Or? I guess. I don't know.

I'm at like 21 and I keep having trouble getting past level of one. Oh, like, no, you mean like, um, uh, rank 41. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. Only 41. Collection level I have a 3,760.

So I have every card in the game obviously don't have all the variants, but I do buy any like I save my gold and I buy any Scotty Young variants that come up so I can play an entire game with nothing but Scotty Young. Yeah, yeah. No real

synergy, but I'd love to see my opponent's face if they're like oh that's another scotty young card oh and another scotty young card i'm trying to get a complete deck of pixel uh oh really god i wish i could give you because i hate those yeah i like him i like him as a set i don't like them both of you i'd love them because i like him as a set i don't like them individually like or how should i put this if it's like a bunch of mixed art and one of them's pixel that's annoying yeah i want all pixel deck or no pixel yeah yeah yeah but uh i don't know if it's going to happen for me we'll see uh well there you go

As Stephen, just to wrap that thing up, Red Fraggle and I at some point today are going to do a Marvel Snap stream on Twitch. Very nice. Nice. Check that out. Now, Stephen, here's the question of the day. Okay. I don't know if second dinner, I don't know what their contract with Marvel looks like. But what do you think the chances are that they could scoot you over to DC and do a version of the game with the DC world in it, you know?

call it DC Snapper or Snappy DC time I don't know what they'd call it but why not if they're not exclusive maybe it makes sense it yeah it makes sense but we haven't really seen DC jump onto a lot of these I mean they have

Cryptozoic has that card game yeah yeah oh yeah the versus engine yep yeah there's a bunch of DC stuff that was pretty fun they could probably I mean they could reskin this game for DC and that would be fine easily. I think they should. I'd do that. I just like, I just, I think more the merrier. Let's get Dark Horse in there. I'd like Hellboy on my deck, please. You know, whatever. Big multiverse thing,

like truly comic book multiverse. Everybody involved. That's what I want. All right. It's never going to happen. Stephen, it's good to have you on as always and tell people what they can look forward to this week at Major Spoilers. Well, not only can you find a lot of good comic book stuff all over the major spoilers.com website, but I will remind everyone that tomorrow is election day and you might be standing in line for a long time. You might be tempted to hand someone else a bottle of water, but you need to check the laws in your area because many places are like if you're 150 feet of the polling place, you can go to jail if you try to hand someone a bottle of water. So make sure you're 152 feet away from the polling place, hand them the water so everyone can stay hydrated.

Hydrated, yeah. It's very nice. Nicely done. Well done. I didn't realize that that, then handing someone water is a bad idea. I think it depends on where you're at. They see it as favoritism. Like, oh, you gave me water. You gave me to vote for my team or whatever. Already, we did pre-voting or pre-whatever we do here in Utah.

Yeah, mail-in. Yeah. But we do it. We don't mail it, though. We take it to a stop and drop it. Yeah, we do. Same thing. There was some creepy dude over there with like a, in his truck, just staring,

staring at people while they were over there. It's like, dude, what are you doing? You're not one of those wackadoos that thinks this thing's, you know, George Soros is inside the box, sorting them all the Democrats do you? Like, what are you doing here? Guy freak me out. Anyway, let's move on.

No, I'm just going to be so glad after tomorrow that we don't have to sit through political ads for another year. Yeah. I only get them through text because I don't do TV, really. And let's see, I got five, six Mike Lee texts yesterday, begging me to vote for him. No, the answer is no, Mikely. Are you also registered independent or you're registered?

I'm registered, currently unregistered. I don't do anything. I don't trust any of these bastards. Well, no, then you're registered independent. I mean, you're registered to vote. I'm registered to vote, so yes, I guess that makes me independent. Yeah, yeah. I vote for the man or woman.

Right, right, of course, exactly. I'm not going to vote for your team. Team sports suck. F off. No, but that means you and I both get like the largest amount of, crap mailed to us. Oh yeah, we're swing voters, you and I. That's why.

Yeah, we are. Exactly. They think. Anyway, I don't know how they get our number, Claire. I don't know how it works. Freaking hate it, though. And also, Apple's got a pretty cool thing built in to iMessages where you can block it and never get them again.

Delete and... But they have a bunch of numbers they spoof, and they just send you a million of them. Dude, Mike Lee can trip and fall into a ditch. I just can't stand that guy. What a piece of shit. freaking enabled enabling piece of garbage anyway moving on let's move on

before I get mad or at Mike Lee than I already am which seems impossible but it's true we got an email or a text from somebody this is from Joe in Canada he says hey salamander and bullfrog oh that's a nice reference for today I can't believe he says I can't believe Brian has never

heard of Aurora the singer because she is the best cover or has the best cover of David Bowie's life on Mars in all of existence it's number one song on Mars yours cordially Joe and Canada you played this on the show right yeah I played this on TMS in 2016

that cover of Life on Mars and I've played her Oasis and Beatles covers on Coverville 1307 and 1402 for those specific shows so I'm trying to remember when I said I didn't hear of Aurora the singer did you bring up that you were listening to Aurora

and I was like oh I don't know who that is yeah the other day we were talking about her new single that's like a monster hit I don't need a cure for me or something Okay. That's, you know, that I hadn't heard, and maybe that's what, that I was saying that I was, but come on, I've got, you know, at current count, I've got, uh, she's not an albino chat, she just comes from Iceland, not Iceland, she comes from Norway, Norway, Norway, Norway, Norwich. Uh, 114,000 tracks in my library, some of which are covers, some of which are not. Uh, so, yeah, forgive me if I forget an artist that I have six songs by. Sure. that can be tricky

that can be a little tricky speaking of Aurora the Aurora Borialis Carter's seeing those every night God right above you posted it's like oh my God I so want to be there

and see that cool I guess oh I could tell you this she's gonna hate me for bringing this up yeah okay because she can't she's it's in the middle of night for her now

she has to sleep now sure sure she showed the animation she did of John doing his tongue toasters and me and Bo commenting oh yeah

the anime thing showed that to this big group. Now, what we've learned is since she's been there, all these other artists are very hoity-to-dy, my painting means something more than the average person can see and just kind of this sort of stuff. And they're from all over the world.

They're from Japan and Germany and just tons of people, all the place, great, big diverse group of people, but they're all a little smell on their own farts in the art department. Yeah. Carter's over there with like a ton of goofy cartoons and, you know, just her kind of light style

of, of, it's all very bright and fun and animated. And so they're just not used to it. So they asked her in front of this huge group to play that animation in front of everybody. And they're all laughing their heads off. And they all know English, thankfully. So they all understood it. But they're all just laughing and laughing and laughing. I'm telling you, her wacky, I mean, I know I'm in her dad, so I'm biased here.

But her wackadoo way of doing things is going to overwhelm everybody else's hearty, farty bullshit that's going on. Like, they're just all just, yeah, the struggle of the artist and the massive weight of, you know, like all that. And she's just like, what, what, good. It sounds like they need some of that there, some of that little, uh, breaking the norm and being funny and silly. That's right. Oh, speaking of breaking, you just said breaking the norm, writing me of breaking a lot. Do you see Dolly Parton hanging out with Rob Halford on stage at the?

I didn't see the photo, but they were both like the rock, yeah, the rock and roll. Hall of Fame induction. Yeah, and they were shared the stage. I think maybe even there was some singing then, or maybe he was just presenting. I didn't see it, but I got to see it. That's awesome. I think that's so cool. And then also, chat, you get to see this.

I'll give it to Brian as well. There's a photo floating around of Janet Jackson's hair, which, look, no shame. I just wonder how you manage it. How do you manage that? How do you keep that? Is that a wig? It's probably a wig, right? It's like Janet Yaxon.

it's so big she's Michael Jackson never died he's hiding in her sister's hair no oh don't don't do a Pepsi commercial with that hair no oh my gosh the whole place will go up anyway let's move on to oh we need your song request you guys Brian tell people how they get them because we need them yeah so we need them like November is already really light and it's not a big surprise because November is always light

I couldn't find the exact date I played in 2016, but I'll play it again. This is Life on Mars covered by, Aurora, who I've never heard of. Just kidding. This is from the soundtrack to the TV show Girls, which definitely wasn't the place I would have heard it. Here is the song Life on

Mars, original by David Bowie, covered by Aurora. I saw an entire episode of Girls, and that's it. That's one more than I've seen. Yeah, I know. I just, it wasn't for me. I'm sure that shows for people. Congratulations. Definitely for some people. Not for me. More for you. Adam Driver was a total nutbag in the episode

I saw. It's all fine. He needed a place to start like the rest of us. So there's it. Sure. Sure. All right. That'll do it. Have a good one, you guys. We'll see you tomorrow.
