Hi, welcome to Talking Beards, the show about beards, beard issues, and beard maintenance. I'm your host, Nick Pruer, and boy, do we have a great hour lined up for you today. You want a Torah? Nah, I'm not hungry. The morning. What do you say? We get nipple to nipple. Hey, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday, December 12, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Nibit. Hi, Brian. Hey, hello. Hello. So, we're back. It's a show. We got things to discuss. Now, here's the same. Short week this week.

Yeah, a little short. We're not here Thursday. No Friday either, I guess, right? Because you'll Unless you want to do a couch party without me, certainly could. I might do a thing that's not... Sure, Monica would love to... I could do a thing that's separate, because I want to continue the Ms. Marvel with you there. Yeah, oh, okay, yep. So maybe I'll do like a one-off or something like that.

There you go. Anyway, we'll see. But, yeah, Brian's going to Vermont. The lovely Vermont. It means Green Mountain. Yeah, and there are people up there that as soon as you see them, they'll go, oh, I wouldn't go up there if I were you. Hadn't up to Jericho, are you?

Yeah, wouldn't go up there if I would. you. Yeah, they found a dead body up there, you know. Turn right at the Dunkin' Donuts and then turn left at the second Dunkin' Donuts. And if you pass the 7th Dunkin' Donuts, you've gone too far. Are they known for, is that the origin state of Dunkin Donuts? It's not. No, I think like New York, New Jersey, somewhere up there, Massachusetts, someplace.

But somewhere in Northeast where everybody uses Dunkin' Donuts, or I guess they're just called Duncan now. Oh, are they? I didn't know they took the donut. I don't know the name. Yeah, they're just Dunkin' Donuts. Duncan. Is that a health thing? Like a, hey, you. I don't know. It might just be like a KFC thing where it's like, we're just going to, we're just going to shorten it. Just a shorter name. So people don't say Duncan. Don't. So just go, I'm going to Duncan. Do you want to think? Oh, see, I thought that's why KFC did change it because they were like, fried chicken is starting to be bad for you. But maybe that could be, I mean, maybe somebody may have. It could be. Yeah. I don't know. You hear these things growing up and you don't really know what's true or not, you know.

Sure. You try to take what people say and you mulling around. in your head and then you you flatten it out and make pasta out of it and you hope you get the right thing when you're done and I don't know I don't know penny sure penay uh anyway so let's get to it we got some stuff um I may seem like I've got a lot of energy I honestly don't know where this is coming from because I think it's one of those paradoxical things where my body's reacting in the opposite way it should because I think enough to keep you away it must be because I had no sleep last night late last night like none or if I had any at all it was always interrupt it very quickly because Carter's dog

notice I refer to her as Carter's dog when there's a problem and Ripley when she's great you know because she's usually great usually nothing wrong with I love this animal she's wonderful but she got in either got into something or got a little tummy bug and it has just been

nonstop well nonstop this right here where is it don't I have this clip out diarrhea yeah just diarrhea every five minutes no not the house thankfully well okay not that's an exactly true so here's how we were queued in on it night before three o'clock in the morning i hear some scraping and that usually means oh one of them needs to pee so yeah she could get let her out

she's in the kennels she lives in a kennel at night they're kennel trained and uh so we go get to get ripley and we walk in the room we're like what freaking bomb went off in here it freaking stinks oh no it was so bad and we just didn't know and it was dark and so i let her out and she's doing her thing i turn the light on in there and she had just gone all over the place in her kennel outside the kennel. So now she's walking through the house from the... Yeah. She's a diarrhea monster at this point.

And I'm like, oh, the poor thing. And she also went out and immediately vomited. And then, you know, a couple more squirties out in the yard. And anyway, what was she ate? I have no idea. So we had to bathe her. And she's huge. She's a big whimeriner.

She's a big dog. It's not like a easy thing where I put a little, you know, teacup poodle in the same. or something. Nope. You got to hose her down with one of those showers that's removable from the wall, basically. Yeah, I basically literally got in a shower and took a shower with her and scrubbed her down and she got all clean and everything. But then there's the issue of her kennel and the bed thing that's in her kennel, which is kind of built in, but made of this material you can pull out sort of and then wash it. And anyway, whole ordeal. And we thought, well, whatever she got into, maybe she had a dead bird or who knows what she did outside. We usually go out with her. So she's

never like on her own but we thought maybe she snuck something saw something we didn't we didn't know so then so then she's like seemed a little better to me yeah and yesterday throughout the day she was had energy she was eating a little bit she was being fine but she was still going outside and doing the liquid dance just a little bit so we thought well her body's just getting back to normal you know sure just doing its thing and uh last night she decided at midnight two, three, thirty, four, and six to have to go all those times. And the reason we knew is she scraped, and as soon as we heard the first scrape, one of us was like bolt up, go get her.

Took her out. So no problems in the house, always outside. But now she's making soft serve like a freaking dairy squeeze or whatever those dairy queen. Dairy queen. So the, you know, when Daisy and Daisy was kind of going through this over the weekend as well, we do the chicken and rice diet instead of giving her her. regular food, we just switched over to something a little bit more, um, stomach, neutral, basically, get her some food that's that, you know, will help, uh, kind of reduce that. Um, so that, that

usually helps Daisy. I mean, we're dealing with a 15 year old dog that, I'm sure is in her last, uh, a few weeks of, of, oh, a few weeks. Oh, man. Yeah, I don't think, I think she'll see the new year, but, um, I don't know how much beyond that, because she is, She's walking stiff-legged. She is the, you know, the cognitive stuff is getting worse. She just kind of stares in corners. She does a pacing thing for hours, the same path around our house for hours. And if there's a box in her way, she walks over the box because it's like, no, I have to do this path.

Like, I can't go a different way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So. Well, that makes me sad. I'm sad to hear that. Yeah. She's a good dog. So dogs do this, right?

They have their time. They have their moments. They get old. They do whatever they do. But in her case, she's just as happy as can be. She just has to poop 24-7. And we can't sleep. Disagreed with her.

Even when we couldn't, even when we're up, then we're like back to bed and we're thinking, okay, let's go back to bed. We'll go to sleep. You can't sleep right away. Your brain takes a while to get you back to the thing. I almost got out and read a comic book. That's how tired I was. Anyway, so I don't know why I have any energy now or any, any kind of anything today, but here I am. Well, maybe you get time for a nap later.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, right? I'll tell you what I didn't have time for. We tried. We tried to carve out three hours of our lives to watch Triple R because Brian glowingly reviewed it. Everyone else I've talked to loved it. Like, Scott, you've got to watch this. Everybody's like pounded into me. We were certain we were going to get this done on Saturday.

That was the plan. And then her parents came over right as we were about to do. do it. And then we had another visit. And then Carter called. And then we got stuff going on with Taylor. And she's like planning for Monday because today there's a bunch of stuff going on between them and the kids. And like constant interruptions, uh, to the degree that it just, we just didn't have the three hours anymore. Yeah. Yeah. So we watched another episode of Wednesday. Which is fine. It's good. You don't really have to watch RR in one sitting. You know, if we were to say, oh, it's a, you know, it's a, uh, a limited series. It's a three.

episode one hour each limited series you'd be like oh i can knock that out in a day or like a couple days that's a good way of looking at it is just you know do it is there's no reason to to do the whole thing in one sitting are there natural break points or is it just kind of like go an hour and you know i would say here's how i would do it personally i would split into two and after the um the wedding or i'm sorry the the fancy party scene in the middle yeah with the uh i'll just say nacho-nacho. After that is a good place to split it, and if you need to,

if you need to divide it over two nights. And I'll know what Nacho-Nacho is? You'll know what Nacho is, yes. Okay, fair enough. Is RRR also rated R? Oh, it's not rated. Is it unrated? Yeah, it says on IMDB.

That's unfortunate. It is unfortunate. Although I'm guessing, like Parasite, we're probably going to see mention of this during the Oscars. Oh, you think so? That's cool. Another, you know, foreign film that could be, that could eke its way into the best picture area. Whoa, I like this.

I like that. I like when these weird things get in there. Yeah, I think it's great. It's kind of fun. Life is beautiful and, uh, parasite and hopefully this. You could even argue that out, that small Australian film Mad Max Fury Road was one of those. Yeah, small Australia, small. Small, small, under budget, tiny budget.

Sure, sure. Nobody in it that you know, not a giant director. Hey, I went to a company Christmas party Thursday night, Scott. Whoa, the Coverville Incorporated office party? Was that? No, this is for one of my clients, one of my freelance clients. And they are nice enough to treat me like a full-fledged employee as opposed to just some guy that they have to call when they need something. It helps that I'm really good friends with the owners.

I used to work with the owner back at the, if I could use your phone. company we worked together there and then and then we worked together at another company when that one fell through. So, you know, it was at a sushi place, a small company. There were seven of us, eight of us there. Nice, nice small fill up a table kind of thing. And, you know, I'm looking at the menu and I'm like, oh, I'm going to have a, I'm going to do this sashimi plate and Tina's doing this tempera thing. We got a couple rolls to split between us and everybody else is ordering. But the CEO has, what is it, chirocidosis, I believe.

And so he's very limited on the things that he can eat at one of these places. So he can't really do rice or shouldn't do rice. Gotcha. So the waitress comes over and says, all right, what can I get for you? And he's like, well, I've got the sushi menu here. And for example, I want a tuna, a mcuro. But I don't want the nigiri version. I want the sashimi version.

So no, right. She's like, oh, yeah, okay, just put a one and then put a little S next to it. And then we'll know that you want the sashimi version. Right. That makes sense. It's like, okay, cool. So we march that. He orders a couple other things.

And we turn in all our menus and enjoy our miso soup and salad. And she comes back with two giant plates of tuna, nigiri tuna. tuna and rice And we're like Oh hey who ordered Like looking around You know in case It was somebody at the other end of the table ordered this

Like what Who ordered this? And she says No no you ordered it And he's like no I wanted one Sashimi tuna And she's no

Right here at 15 Because the one in the S To her looked like a 15 Or to the sushi chef So he made 15 nigeri tuna miguro tuna sushi's oh crap yeah how do you explain that one dude she said that she's like oh my god that's an s this is completely my fault i am so sorry let me take those back and they did take

him back and listen it's the it is the most commonly ordered thing at a sushi bar so it was not hard for them to get rid of the uh extra uh muguro but uh damn dude i mean that's yeah you've got plenty of options where that can go you're not gonna just throw it in the dumpster exactly yeah so so how was the overall affair was it like uh oh it was great was it fun

were there any debauchery no debauchery of any kind no no you know we're um we're we're pretty mellow group you know we we chatted about things that weren't work related and and uh um i go like you said

Chris Brown is another member of this company so you know he was there so it's basically like a like a good a good fun group of people to just chit chat with so Hmm. That sounds like a good time. I haven't been to a corporate or company party since I worked at a company or corporation. So it's been a while. Yeah, I know. And you know, you and I work freelance. We really, we very rarely get invited to things like this. No, I can't even think the last time. I honestly, I think I worked for a place and we had one and that was like 20, 2009 maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Before this show ever started.

Exactly. So, you know, there we go. It's a, uh, uh, uh, I feel fortunate, and I also feel fortunate. Again, they treat me like a member of the company as opposed to just this freelance guy. Yeah, you're in their eyes. You're one of them, Brian. Exactly, one of them. One of them. All right, well, speaking of one of them, I got a present.

Yeah, open one of them. Look at this. So in the mail, I get a box. I get what looks like a loot box from Marvel. And I open it up because those boxes are really sturdy and great. They are. They're great for re-mailing, man. They're fantastic.

I'm literally using it to re-mail something today because it's so thick and rich. Yeah. Anyway, Brian sent this gift, and it was really nice because there were two little boxes in there, one for me, one for Van. And the one for Van, he definitely appeared to like the dinosaur, yeah? He loves it. He's now obsessed with it. Taylor says that's all he wants to play with and do. He stayed up too late playing with it last night.

She's like, got to go to bed, buddy. He's like, I love dinosaur, dinosaur time. so he really likes it's one of these articulated 3D printed thing Brian does and he loves it so that was awesome and very appreciated but I thought hey it might be fun to open this one on the air yeah with Brian not to put you know Brian on the spot or me but we're going to do it well this is where this is where you have to really put all your poker face right if you know if you don't like it's like oh one of these oh I love it thank you it's so good anyway moving on to babelroy out no it'll be it'll be it'll be uh i'm sure it'll be great so we're

going to open and just kind of see you so this is like christmas morning a little bit right you know you're in your pajamas you smell a little bit like cinnamon toast crunch two weeks away it counts yeah totally counts uh you've uh you've stayed up too light in the night before and you may have snuck down to see what's there but you couldn't tell it goes too dark and your dad knew you were there anyway so i'm going to open this here we're just going to tear this up here's some ASMR for those people. He needs the sound of ripping paper and stuff. You'd be surprised.

I found a channel that is nothing but opening packages in slow motion and playing the of the sound of it. Oh, you played that, uh, I remember seeing somebody talking, you must have played that before a, uh, adventure party or something. No, I actually did it during the show for, uh, when was this? Just a lot of the other day. Oh, it was when Wendy was here talking about the gift, uh, anxiety stuff. Oh, right. That's right. Yeah.

So I played, because I was just looking for like, I need some B-roll of some gifts. Instead, I found some girl going. That's stupid. Anyway, I mean, look, if you like it, you like it. I'm not here to make fun. Yeah, exactly. I'm not going to yuck your y'all.

If you enjoy that sort of thing, awesome. All right, here we go. We're opening it. No way, dude. I almost got one of these. I know. I'm so glad you didn't. Oh, are you kidding?

I love this. This is the one we talked about. You guys, if I open this, you know what it means. It won't open. It's a thing. For you audio listeners, it's the Hellraiser, what is it called, a centabyte cube? Yeah, they have a, I mean, it's basically Pandora's box, but they have a name, right? They do.

Yeah, there it is the Lament Configuration. The Lament Configuration. I wanted, so when we heard about, I think we heard on the air about this. We talked about this, that they were selling it on Walmart as a STEM toy. Yeah, which is so weird. This will teach your kids STEM. Does it actually open? It does.

Oh, wow. So this is like the real thing where you can't really tell how. Exactly. Like you're throwing around with it. Oh, dude. I want pinhead and the lady with the vagina in her neck and the one guy with a chattering teeth. Can I get those three centibytes when I open this?

Totally. And things got some heft to it. I've got mine right here. So do you want me to tell you how to open it? Yeah. I mean, let's learn together here. I want to see what you do and then I'll see if I can figure out. So here's mine, right?

Okay. So on any of the corners, basically there's a split right down the middle of the corner here on all four corners. I see that. You're going to put your fingers on either side of that split and then push the pieces apart. Like, okay, hold on. Basically, this thing is, is two of these. Stage one. Yeah, exactly.

It's basically two of these that just fit together. And you can rotate at 10 degrees. and then you end up with something looks like this. But a hook didn't come out and poke you, and then now you're... No, no, fortunately no, but... Okay. Yeah.

Dang, that's a bummer. I still can't do it. This is like the movie. Hold on. I watched you do it. Do it again? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so here's how it is in its full configured state.

So just push. Like, see how this part separates. Yeah. You're going to basically just push those two parts. away. Oh, geez. And, uh, yep, and, uh, there you go. Okay.

Now it's in four parts. Uh, so that's good. It didn't break, I hope. No, it totally didn't. It's pretty sturdy. It is like, uh, I must be stupid. I can't get this to go. No, it's, it just takes a lot of, it takes a lot of work.

Okay. Well, I actually kind of like that about it. And there's a little stand. Look at this, you guys. Yeah, a little stand so you can put on the stand. Oh my gosh. I love this. Brian, this is the perfect gift.

Good. I'm glad you like it. Yeah, this is Nerd Town USA. I love this. I'm just glad that A, you didn't end up buying one for yourself or B, somebody else didn't get one for you. I came this close, and I just thought, you know what? I think we were looking at them online at the same time. And then you said, I might have to get one of those later. And then I didn't hear you bring it up. So I'm like, okay, I'm just going to get on one.

I love it. Oh, my gosh. And I have to say, as a teenager, there was hardly any movie that freaked me. out more than Hellraiser. And it's weird because if you'd have given this to me then, I'd have legit been freaked out when I was like 15. I would have been like, I don't want that.

But as an adult, and the campy cheese that is that series, I love it. This is now one of my favorite things. Cool. And this is also, it's heavy. It's crazy heavy. It's got some really, it's got some serious heft to it.

And once you get it open, it's actually got a little tiny, you know, like a little tiny pocket where you can put stuff in there. You can hide a key in there. This is where you can hide your weed. Put your weed in there. You can put your weed in there. All right.

I love it. Cool. Well, you'll have to fidget with it during the show today and see if you can get it open. Yeah, I'm going to keep rubbing this until the genie comes out. That's awesome. And you'll be learning STEM while you do it. That's the great part is that. I can't believe Walmart had these.

I know. Does that seem crazy? It's so strange. Seems really insane. All right. Well, that made a whole night of dog diarrhea way better, to be honest. Good deal. Yeah.

All right. Well, there you go, everybody. A piece of Christmas here on the TM on the morning stream for you there. There you go. All right. We are going to do some done away time. Yeah. Phoebe has tummy time.

We here on the show have done away time. Apparently that's a thing. As a parent now, you do. You have to have tummy time. You lay them on their belly Or just lay down and let the baby lay on your tummy? Well, they're supposed to just lay on there. It doesn't matter to the surface.

But the concept is this is really good for their neck strength. So when they're that little, they're always trying to, you know, learn how to move and get those muscles going. And if you do the tummy time, they get really good at moving their neck muscles and strengthen that so that they're able to do it quicker than usual. And they don't get flathead, which is good because nobody wants flat head. If you get flathead, you look like Dunaway. All right, here we go.

Speaking of that guy, it's Brian Dunaway joining us. Hi, Brian, Flathead, Dunaway. How are you? Oh, hi, Flathead, Scott, and Ibitt. How are you guys doing? By the way, I like the idea that you do realize how horrible it sounds you say, oh, yeah, laying them on their belly and increases their neck strength. Just because they're trying to avoid smothering to death.

Good job on you. No, you have to do it when they're awake, not while they're sleeping. That's even worse. The kid just woke up and it's like, Tommy, he's like, oh God, no. Well, I know. Look, when we were all having our little kids, when you had little kids,

me and Brian had little, you know, Tristan was little, my kids were little. I know what I did to my kids. Well, no, but what I mean is like back then, they always jumping back and forth. They were like,

your kid should sleep on their stomachs. Nope, they should sleep on their backs. Nope, they should sleep on their stomachs. It was back and forth and nobody could decide. It drove me crazy. Yeah, it's like, don't leave on their back for too long. You have to rotate them.

If you don't rotate them, then they get the flat head like you said and it's like i don't lay them on that side they're going to be messed up yep you don't want that flat head boy that's why that's why i put all my kids inside of a helmet there you go yeah yeah it's the way to do it yeah getting helmets don't even wait for the doctor to tell you to do it just do it also help make their uh shape their heads which is which is cone shape that's square pumpkins or square watermelon's in jama those are the ones hey uh speaking that'd be great speaking of square heads i do like those pumpkins when they do the square thing i think it's cool

I do, too. I mean, it's obviously not natural in any sort of the word, sense of the word. Hey, you know what time it is, you guys? We're going to play this game. And we call it Babel Royale, but really we call it Half-Asses on Mondays. And Brian here's going to explain to us the rules who are playing for and how we might win those people some prizes. All of that is correct. Welcome to the morning.

Half-asses, a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving Scott and Brian the answers. I'm going to give him a category six possible answers. Three of those answers are correct. Three are incorrect. depending on how confident you feel with the category you can provide one, two or three guesses, but if any of those guesses are wrong, you get zero points for that round.

Guess one, you get it right, you get a point, get two right, and you get three points, get all three points, you get all three correct, you get five points. We'll do three rounds, and probably with the most points. At the end, wins a prize for their contestant, and our contestants are pulled from members of the Tadpool that aren't able

to listen live. So, Scott, you're playing for Richard Cassidy, in Burnley, UK. Ooh, fancy. In Burnley. Brian, you're playing for Kristen in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Oh, nice. Very close.

Not too vibrant in a Stone Mountain many times. I completely pick these things at random, by the way. So it's not like, oh, okay, well, it's obviously, let's give this one to Brian because they're close by. And it always, yeah, it always seems like I'm close by. Maybe it does, yeah, it starts in me the prizes and I'll just distribute them as I win. You'll deliver them like Santa. Sure. There's a steam get right down the chimney.

All right. Let's get to your first category. This is one that was sent to. us by a listener. And your first question is, who was it, by the way? Do we have a name? Oh, God, MASH trivia. Oh, Jeff Hart. Thank you, Jeff Hart for presenting this. Things Colonel Potter said on Nash. Right, exactly. Well, you're, you're not far. Things Colonel Potter said on MASH. Which of these three, six things are things that Colonel

Potter said? Did he say, horses pituit, mule muffins, your one ton is wilted, do your best business on Main Street, rattled the rafters, and mental pigmy. Oh, my Lord. Well, I know one of these for 100%. I know one of them. Yeah, I'm almost 100% sure. I know one of them. I'll totally be wrong. I think I know one of them. I think I'm going with two.

One of them seems, yeah, one of them seems too obvious and I'm going to go with two as well. One of them seems like an obvious play. Yeah. Well, you both said Mule Muffins. This is the episode where the baby is left outside the swamp when Winchester wants to go to our HQ. And Colonel Potter, indeed, said Mule Muffins,

your wonton is wilted, came from the episode where the Mash Olympics. Oh, good job. And how out of shape the unit was. Your wanton is wilted. However, horse's patoot was Henry Blake talking about Frank. Good job. Do your best business on Main Street also is, was something that Harry Morgan said, but it wasn't when he was Colonel Potter.

It was the episodes, a few episodes before that when he came in his general still. Oh, right. That's a nice, sneaky one. I like it. And then Rattled the Rafters is something that Klinger said when he was impersonating Colonel Potter on the phone calling H.Q. You know what I like about this is that they were all things said by someone at least. That adds to, I think that instead of just being made up, you know, I like that. That's good.

So Jeffrey Hart, thank you so much for sending that one in. And if you do have one also to send in Coverville at Gmail.com. come. He sent in the whole thing. He sent the question and answers. Oh, yeah. Look at you getting off easy for Christmas. Yeah.

Yeah, do nothing. Hey, he deserves it. He deserves it. I did that. It worked hard on his other two. Let's get to question number two. It is a comic book question. So you guys should both do really well on this one.

Which of these are members of the Justice League? Is it? Infinity Man, Molecule Man, Doll Man. Animal Man. plastic man or resurrection man which of these six and which three are members of the justice there are three some of the bitch what the freak pretty sure what'd you do a ruin your thing all right i don't know i had a freaking at a freaking sharp pain shoot in my middle finger for some reason oh that happened to me yesterday in my elbow yeah it's we're old we're like a piece of no i feel like a piece of glass was

in there okay well oh gosh you don't want that oh that's the worst no that's not good at all Oh, man, this feels, what was he? Oh, this feels like a trick. It's a little tricky. I've chosen two. I don't feel good about three. I've chosen two as well. I feel like there's a trick one in there,

and then I think the other one's right, but then I'm going to find out. Do you feel like Plastic Man was a trick? Yeah, I feel like Plastic Man is a trick. I feel like I've seen him in there before, though. He is absolutely a member of the Justice League, as is Animal Man and Resurrection. Man, but not Infinity Man, molecule man, or a doll man.

Points for Brian on that one. Oh, we're tied up. Oh, my gosh. We have a tie game going into the last question. This is a real fight now. This is a real fight. Resurrection Man. Here's what's...

All right. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah, Resurrection Man. That's a little too close to Erection Man. Right. Exactly. All you have to do is just say the last part of it, right? Yeah.

You could be saying bring back... Robin, don't wake up resurrection man and tell him that we need to go. defeat Mattalo. Yeah, it's like saying Rez Erection Man. You're saying, bring him back to life. We want Erection Man back. Raza Ghoulin, Rez Erection Man. All right. Oh, my gosh. So exciting.

We have a tie going into the last question. Which of these are characters voiced by Meryl Streep? Oh, geez. Oh, my. Six possible answers. Did she provide the voice for The Blue Fairy, The Ant Queen, Pez Pam, Sarabi, Glove. and Ned Flander's singing voice. Three of those are ones she did do the voice work for.

Three of those are Bogus. I don't... Should we know who the... These are all other animated things? Yeah. Okay. All of these are animated things. Glove refers to the hamburger helper glove.

Oh. Oh, that would be great. That would be awesome. I like how you said it, though. Well, you said it made it sound dirty. Yeah. I feel good about two of these. No glove, no love, Dr. Jones.

I think two of these are where I'm going today. Okay. One of them I remember, but the other, I don't know for sure. I'm rolling for three so I can go ahead and win or lose. All right. I love it. It's like for all the marbles. Yeah.

The Blue Fairy is from the movie AI. Yeah. And that was indeed voiced by Meryl Streep. The Ant Queen was from the movie The Ant Bulley. And that was from, that was voiced by Meryl Streep. Pez Pam was from Toy Story 4. That was not voiced by Meryl Streep. So Robbie was from the Lion King.

That was also not voiced by Meryl Streep. You kill it. Glove. Come on, the hamburger helper glove. Never voice worked by Burles Street. I wanted it to be, though. That would be so freaking awesome. That would be amazing on your resume. I would love that.

And Ned Flanders singing. voice indeed was the voice of merrill street right now he takes it in the end with a risky a risky bedroom blue fairy you bastard look at you with the with the crazy choice that's insane I knew the Ned Flanders yeah and I was pretty sure about the blue fairy the ant queen

was a total guess so uh so Robbie is um uh Glenn Close I believe right do I remember that right or might be yeah yes I think that is correct yeah and I get those two ladies mixed up so that's why That one was like on the edge. They're both highly acclaimed actresses in their own rights.

So, congratulations, going out to Kristen in Stone, Mountain, Georgia. You are getting a copy of Train Simulator Classic and one of my favorite games from this last year, Death Loop. Ooh, that is a crap out of that game. That is too great game. It's your basically, it's your Groundhog Day with a weird infiltration. into a base it's just so much fun with them shooting guns yeah it's good shooting guns uh but the runner-up is getting the dark pictures anthology little hope so uh richard cassidy you're getting that second game so yeah both of you getting something good if you like scary games that are a lot like old

Brian, how do you feel about your massive win? And also, are you excited about play retro tomorrow night? I am. We're doing Christmas games from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. And, man, I have never played nights into dreams, but the Christmas version was spectacular for the Saturday. It's so good. I mean, it's like kind of horrible that you can only,

it only felt like a game I could play in the Christmas season, but it was great for that. It was really good. Yeah, we talk about this from time to time, especially on FilmSack. It's like my acceptance of crapness, it gets a lot more tolerant from October until the end of December. Yeah, sure. And these days, the way they make up for new games, they do events that are Christmas themed, but then the games continue on without the Christmas theme because we have, you know, the internet and patching and all the other stuff we do these days. But back then, if you were going to lock in and make a Christmas themed game, that was the game.

There was no the rest of the year. You had that CD, you had to deal with that CD that came out of that magazine. You had to do something with it. Yeah, you had to do something. Or that cartridge. You were just stuck in the, you know, it was Christmas and that's the way it was. So we're going to talk about that whole phenomenon and how it existed then and maybe how it's translated today. That's tomorrow on Play Retro, live at frogpants.

com. TV at 330 Mountain or you can get the podcast wherever you get your podcast. Brian Dunaway, you're, do you want to say anything else? Yeah, I'm going to the, I'm going to the doctor. in a little bit. Yeah. Oh, he got out. He used a thing where I would be genuinely concerned if one of my friends doesn't go to the doctor.

That's unfair. That was a dirty trick. Bastard. Well, whatever. Also, hats off to him. That was a pretty sneaky trick. Pretty sneaky, sis. Okay.

Well, there's that. That was fun. Really nicely well done. Just give that guy a shout out one more time? Who gave us our first question? Jeff Hart. Jeff Hart. And if you've got an idea for a set of questions for half-out?

Please send them in. I do have one for next week, and I've lost another one that somebody sent in. So if you've sent one in, maybe just resend me a ping saying, hey, here's the one I sent you. Don't forget it. Yeah, that won't hurt. Coverville at gmail.com is where you'll do that. The problem is I should just enter them in immediately when I receive them, and I don't, for whatever reason. Damn you.

Damn you to hell. I know. Damn you to hell. Straight to hell. all right it is time for the news and it's brought to you by the saturday morning cartoon episode of futurama season 10 so people forget we got season 11 coming and you forget that season 10 aired in like 2011 or something the year this show started and uh season 10 is full of some freaking gems that one in particular is president nixon the head of president nixon who's still president uh watching saturday morning cartoon while there's a giant raging protest outside. And it's so good. They have three sections, almost like a...

Like an anthology, like a treehouse of horror. Exactly, exactly. And the first one is, if I remember right, oh, I forgot what the first one is. Oh, crap. My brain, I actually think I like the first one the best. Anyway, I can't remember. Oh, it's a spinoff.

It's a parody of Scooby-Doo. and the mystery machine and all that very funny george decay makes a guest appearance in it it's really good then they got this one where it's like smurfs kind of except they're called purple berries and it's mostly a joke about selling cereal it's great i love it and then the third one is a gi joe send up fan freaking tastic it's so really oh that sounds great i did i did binge the entire series i'm sure i definitely saw that one i just forgot about it well it's all you know blurs together if you're watch all of it. It does. Yeah, if you go, right, yeah. But I have so much fun in this season. So good. Anyway, can't wait for 11. I hope they're well underway. I think they are, but I have no idea. The good news is that

John DiMaggio is coming back to be Bender and a thousand other voices. So, yeah, that's good. Cool. All right, there's that. Let's do this news. Right here. We've got an iguana in the news, an iguana. Is it a barbecueed iguana

or just a regular iguana? Ooh, I almost knocked over my cube of destiny. Hold on. is neither of those iguanas. It is a real lizard-y, lizard-y kind, you know. Okay, so not a barbecued iguana that wish you were in Tijuana? No, none of that. Or the red iguana down in Salt Lake City, one of the best Mexican restaurants you can

ever eat at. I highly recommend it if you're in the city. Okay. This is an actual iguana. It caused a large-scale power outage in the South Florida City. Well, it might, at this point, it might be a barbecued iguana. Yeah, good point. Now, the state of the guana is on a large-scaleahua.

certainly we're not sure. But anyway, one of Florida's infamous invasive iguanas. These are things that this happens all the time down there with iguanas. They get stuck in different systems and screw up all sorts of stuff. But one of the state's southern cities had a little bit of havoc wreaked by one. And it is the city of Lake Worth Beach announced that one of the scaly green creatures were responsible for a large scale outage of power. The electric utility is currently responding to a large scale outage caused by an iguana.

on our 6th Avenue substation. They tweeted on Wednesday this outage, last Wednesday is affecting customers in the southeast area of our service territory. Teams are working hard to repair the damage and restore the system. So I don't know if it went in there, probably chewed it. Probably, yeah.

What else are they going to do? They're not going to go in there and mate it or something. They're going to chew it. For sure. Here it is. One woman commented on the city's original Facebook post saying that the iguan in her neighborhood, quote, went up under the transformer or something, but he blew it and he fried. Oh, he blew it. He did. He did. He blew the transformer. Oh, I thought she meant. He blew a transformer. I thought she meant she, he blew whatever it meant to do. Like, ah, you blew it. Oh, you blew it. You blew it. Deguana. You really blew it. Dumbass iguana. CBS News reached out to the city for more information. Give us all your God on this iguana. He was just trying to put himself through college.

Yeah. Can you blame him? So he blew the transformer. I know, I see where you went with that. You see where I was going with that. Yeah, I can see that. Also, we got another story about 13 strangers. This sounds like a movie plot or a TV show. Forced to live in a house to see what happens. It's almost, you're not far off except it's a, it's a moving vehicle, but.

Oh, gotcha. Wow, it's, uh, but you're not, world planes, trains and automobiles almost. Yeah, honestly, I don't, I would not be shocked if somebody doesn't turn this into a script or something. sure here's how it went 13 strangers go viral for renting a van and driving 10 plus hours together after their collective flight cancellation so these are all strangers and they had a big flight canceled and so they said you know what how many of you want to pool up and get this van and we'll drive and 13 of them did that's cool all right that is really cool I would totally do this by the way I would do this I would do this in my 20s I would not do this now yeah okay right sure would you would you would you do it now I I feel like it'd be weird. I would do it now. It depends on how urgently I needed to get where I was going. Otherwise, I'll just talk to the, you know, customer service.

They'll probably put me in a hotel room overnight or something. Yeah, they'll get a flight in the next day or whatever. Yeah, but, yeah, in my 20s, I absolutely would have done this. It really also depends on who the other nine people are, though, right? Because you like, look at somebody like, oh, I am not going to ride. I would even want to sit in an airport with this guy, let alone 10 and a half hours in a van with him. Yeah, if everybody was wearing like Minecraft shirts, I'd go, my people and I would ride with them. It's fine.

Right. I mean, not that I love Minecraft, but you know what I mean? They'd be like our kind of nerds. But if it's just like a mix, like a complicated mix of here's a business guy who's grumpy and trying to just get the bottom line, doesn't really like people. Here's a homemaker who's kids on drugs or like whatever. I don't know if I could do too much of a mix. But anyway. Yeah, yeah.

It says that a ragtack group of 13 came together to drive a rented van more than. and 10 hours north to their final destination where they started, which was Orlando, the airport in Orlando. Along the way, they found viral fame and hopefully lifelong friendships. They also found viruses and bacteria, which they all shared for 10 and a half hours. Yeah, and a little chlamydia, is my understanding. Just a little. Just three or four of them.

Just three or four chlamidias. That was all. Yes, just three or four. This is what actually happened on Sunday, December 4th, when after being delayed twice, Frontier eventually canceled the flight to Knoxville, Tennessee. all together. They're all like, well, we can all go out on the next flight, which is Tuesday, or, which is 48 hours later, or we can get the, or take those two days and go back, people have things to do, they said. As people milled about in the line and near customer

service, Miller said one woman named Amy took charge and shouted, anyone who wanted to try driving north to the final destination and a rented van could join her. The line was long. I was like, you know what? I'm just going to let my mom handle it. They Toldtoday.com. Anyway, so... So, I wonder how many people wanted to ride on this van with the 10 of them and they cut it off.

And if they said, you, you, not you, you, not you, definitely not you, you, you. When was the last time you showered, they'd say to one of them? Right, exactly. Two weeks ago. Sorry, you're staying here.

I hope it was one of those big polygamy vans, you know, the ones that have enough room for uh sure it was like uh it have to be uh we rented one in orlando uh when we took the entire family down to uh to disney world a few years ago 2015 i think and uh uh it was one of those like you know 15 people could fit in comfortably with a bunch of luggage and all that sort of thing a transit i think a transit van that they're called yeah we always call them polygamy vans here because i swear when i see one it's just full of polygamous one guy five women and 11 kids it feels like it sometimes a church will own one

for like excursions or whatever my grandma used to drive or used to ride in a service that used used a van like that to go to wendover uh which is about an hour and a half from here to gamble on the weekends okay so they would load up all these blue-haired old ladies would load up in one of these vans and they would drive to the border and go to Wendover, which I've kind of been in the mood to go to check out lately. It's fun. It's like it's the kind of, it's, how do I put this? It's like Reno. Sure. In that Vegas is the big, you know, the shiny city with all the new glitzy, whatever, but with all the chud living underneath and all that, like there's so much about Vegas that's like myth, myth, mythological almost. But in those small towns, if you're not

gambling what else is there to do and see no that's why I like them because they're kind of grummy grimy grimy grimy grimy what's the word I'm like grunggy grimy grimy grummy they're kind of gross and but you find like cool diners

and oh that's cool see we have black hawk and Central City here which is about 45 minutes west into the mountains from where I live so in 45 minutes I can at a slot machine or at a craps table or whatever and i've you know in the past 12 months if i've gone more than one time i'd be surprised it's just i you know sure i don't know what it is it's just

like well it's it's not wanting to spend the money but it's also like eh i'll do this one i'm in Vegas with a great big group of people but it's a discount it's a discount experience right like it really is yeah exactly yeah and i and i'd like it once in a while just as a as a motif as a backdrop for like kind of desperation and wood paneling and exactly it's hard to explain but and we had a we came and i went to lunch yesterday a brunch yesterday at this place called the porch which we really like and um we had a waitress that reminded me of places like this because every sentence she called one of us either honey or sweetie oh love that yeah and she had that dangling out of her mouth though no but you could tell she's years of smoking because her voice is way down here

hey you like you like the you like our grits there honey they're pretty good aren't they those great so you want to slice a pie they're in that big tall glass case where they've been rotating for the last three days yeah i can get you a slice of pie sweetie like a lot of that and i there's something about that but i just i don't know i like it oh that's cool that is really cool i don't like it all the time right i don't want that in my life all the time but once in a one yeah just the once in a while thing for sure yeah um all right here's a story this is a good story okay i mean look i think we should all use what we have try not to waste, you know?

Sure. Oh, yeah. No, obviously. Let's, you know, conserve our resources. Well, there's Dawson's Creek, not the show, the place. Okay. Rancher is giving that a try, and he's doing it with afterbirth. Uh-huh. From cows. It's from cows. Oh, okay.

Well, not from the pizzas. Still not selling me on it. Oh, it's cow afterbirth. Well, that's just fine. Oh, that's just fine. Yeah, everyone loves a good cow afterbirth. So check this out. Rancher gives new life to afterbirth by creating art from cow placentas. When customers end in the Dawson's Creek Cannabis Company store to buy Mary Jane. Some are stopped dead in their tracks by what looks like a full-sized glowing coffin in the middle of the store.

Now, I have to show this photo to the chat. Oh, God. Okay. Because it is something. Look at that thing. Oh, that's epic. It is, right? It's actually kind of beautiful in a weird way. Oh, why don't I have this up still?

Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, those are all stretched out and dried placentas. Yeah, cow placenta. It's not stained glass after all. That is, apparently when you, what, flatten, straight and straighten out a cow placenta, you get. Yeah. I bet people placentas would do something similar if you collected those. It says, it looks like a stained glass casket illuminated within.

There's some lights in there. But it's a work of. art created by Kyle Placentis, created by local rancher artist Emil Matt Madsen. It raises eyebrows, says Madsen in an interview of CBS. He says it makes a bit of a spark. Some people are

totally disgusted and walk away, horrified. Some are amazed. Cows are just dumb and go Yeah. Tell me is one of the amazed ones that's like, wow, that is, no, I don't want it in my house, but that's really cool. Right. It is kind of cool. Yeah. I worry that there could be a smell, you know?

Sure. Yeah. I worry about that. I mean, I'm sure. What are they doing? Like treating it probably? Like putting it in some sort of loose side or shellac or something like that? Yeah. Hopefully.

I mean, we hope, right? That's what we're saying is we hope. Exactly. But look, if you're going to, you know, you're going to have a lot of extra placentas around. Because they got three, see, it says here, at the time he was running. What am I going to do with all these placentas? It says, oh, he had 300 head of cattle and a lot of bird, baby cows. calves they call them

sure and he was like well why waste it you know it's better than eating it or something that's weird do you think do you think this even happens if they're not in a pot shop like do you think this even gets discovered or figured out I know dude I was noticing in the background of it look at all the like weed products on the

back it's like they're making you groove on this weird art piece as you walk by to get some oil for your freaking vape pen you can put a lot of weed in there Yeah, man. All right, well, there's that. We're done with the news, but that doesn't mean we're gone because after this break and song Brian's going to play,

we're going to have major spoilers here. That's right, Stephen Schleiker taking time out of his Monday morning to talk about some of the good and cool things happening in pop culture. So stick around for that. Before that, though, a song. What do you got? Yeah, a little reggaeton, which I don't think it's been a long time since we've played any UK reggaeton on the show, which is basically like a dance reggae. Not quite dub, a little bit more upbeat, a little more poppy.

This is, I love this song. This is a, it's called Another Squeeze of the Sponge, and it's basically like talking about a trickle of money when you were promised way more. So I think it might be directed at her label. I don't know. Anyway, this is a singer named G-G-G-G-G-E-E-G-E-G-E-G-E-G-E-G-E-G-E-G-E-G-E-L handle. I was going to say I subscribe to her only fan, so, yeah. I'm sure you did.

Yeah, yes. And that, another squeeze of the sponge has an entirely different meaning on her, on our only fans. Here is, the song just came out. It's called Another Squeeze of the Sponge. I put the working day. Be my very best. So remain hot press to summon up the gusto. Can't keep on going

I don't get all up in your business when you upgrade your bazooms.

The morning stream. They have the power to shut the sky. Who was that again? Sure. That is G-Girl 96, and I guess it's pronounced reggaeton, not reggaeton, even though there's no E on the end. Regetone, a song called Another Squeeze of the Sponge. Is it like that guy that does Mr. Bombastic, something in the tastic? That guy. Is he falling to that or no? He probably, yeah, I would say so.

He put out, this year he put out a Frank Sinatra album. Yeah. Oh, really? What? It's all Frank Sinatra's like, fly me to the. the moon and let me dance among the stars. I need to hear that. Are you kidding me? What life is like on Jupiter?

Exactly. Lock me a lady tonight. I want this. I want this in my life. Is it actually out there? Like I can get it? It is. It's available.

You can stream it on Apple Music. I was trying to pick a song from it for the end of year Coverville Countdown. Oh, here it is. Shaggy. Okay. It's called Come fly with me. Come fly. Let's fly away.

Oh, yeah. It's C-O-M-F-L-Y-W-D-M-I. So come fly with me. Come fly with me. Oh, my lord. This is amazing. That's live. Come fly.

Just, you know what? Okay, YouTube, I'm pausing you for a second. I just want to hear a taste of this. here we go oh sometimes it's up and sometimes it's down one thing for sure is the world keeps spinning around so that's life let's try come fly with me yeah come fly with you see a little

fly with me let's fly let's fly away I am all in on this I'm serious I'm going to listen to all that later it's great it's really really good yeah damn all right not to overshadow the Indy in the middle, everybody. We're not trying to do that. No, no, no, no, not at all. I'm sure it's, you know, perfectly as in line with what this is. Don't forget to restart the YouTube recording. Oh, yeah, no, I got it. We're good.

Okay, good. Okay. Let's get Stephen in it to win it. Here's how he sounds. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Hey, look who it is. It's Stephen Schlecker joining us from Major Spoilers.com. Comes on Mondays, talk about the latest in pop culture, cool news, sometimes comics sometimes more. Hi, Stephen. How are you? Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian. Hello. Oh, look at you. Sound amazing today. Well, I'm at home. I'm at home today. I'm not at the office. Oh, it's such a great, such a great mic and connection right there. Yeah, screw that. Which weird is it's the exact same setup as here and the office. Same microphones, same scarlet interface. I don't know what goes on every week. I know what's going on. I can tell you. What's going on there is you got

the school internet's got so many weird filters and probably the scan not scanners what am i trying to say just stuff to keep the students from like starting world war three or whatever that you got to deal with all that and it just messes with your bandwidth or something in weird ways not your normal like oh i have a slow connection kind of way but like funky ways that make no sense but anyway i'm glad you are where you are and uh boy the plains of kansas wouldn't be the same without you so thanks for being here uh let's start with this news that i couldn't be more excited about, well, before we get to this. We can start with the news that Scott's going to go on for.

I mean, you know what? Let's do start with it because I really do want to talk about this bad. We haven't talked about it on the show yet. I don't know why. Maybe we hadn't heard about it yet, but Mike Flanagan left Netflix. We have talked about that. He got poached by Prime, Amazon Prime, which means a couple of things. The main thing is the Netflix originals that he did will still be there.

They're going to stay, like House on Honod Hill and all that. haunting of House Hill. Hill House, whatever it is. Hill House. Yeah, all that stuff, including Midnight Club, which will not get a second season now, but will stay on Netflix. So he's bummed about that. But anyway, he's leaving to go there, and it has already been announced that one of his major projects, maybe even next big project, will be a proper TV series treatment of the Dark Tower, book series. which is my favorite series of all time in book form and it's it's one of those things in Hollywood and other circles that people just think is like this scary untouchable thing that

nobody can get right the movie tried but it tried to cram seven books into two hours that was a mistake um a series is a much more sensible way to handle this but then it needs the right touch and the right approach he's adapted multiple other king projects like uh what's the follow-up to The Shining, Dr. Sleep. Dr. Sleep. He directed that and did treatment on the script. He made that Gerald's game for Netflix, which I thought

very good. So he knows he's Stephen King, he's clearly a fan. I couldn't be more excited about this. I'm so freaking stoked. The only other guy. So there's basically like two names in Hollywood I would want to even touch this material. And it's him or Josh Hawley. And Josh Hawley's just busy making other cool stuff. So have my

planning into it. Great. I'm all in. No issues. No problems. Not even worried. I mean, you know, it may come out and be garbage, but I doubt it. I highly doubt it. So are you, Stephen, are you excited or am I weird? Hmm. Well, I finally

I finally read the first StarCower book. Why does it have to be one or the other? Yeah, I was going to say, why not both? But, yeah. So you did read the first book? I've read the first book. Yeah. I love the first book. I love the first book. I just read it recently. I just read it recently. So, it's still so amazing, though. You kind of love the, if you like westerns and dystopic business, you got

to love the first book. I mean, it's interesting. I mean, here's, I think everyone knows my problem with Stephen King. And if not, it's probably everyone else's problems with Stephen King as the man doesn't know how to finish a book. And so you get to the end of the dark tower and you're like, hmm, okay, uh, do I really want to go on to the second book? And so, uh, you know, I'm sure. So if anybody's going to adapt Stephen King and make it make sense, it's going to be Mike Flanagan, he does a great job of horror. You can see the Stephen King influence in all of his work. So I really dig that. And he sticks the landing, whether it is the Midnight Mass or whether it is Hill House or Bly Manor or, well, we'll never know what happens to the

Midnight Club. But, you know, I think I would put some faith into him being able to take Stephen King's work and be very faithful to it. Here's the nice thing about the books. And your problem with Stephen King being bad at ending books, I don't disagree with you. Some of my favorite books by him like the stand which I read six times over. Yeah. Yeah. The ending is rough. But yeah, you know, you kind of just, obnoxious the same way. Yeah. It's just he's bad at it for whatever reason. Um, but the dark tower, it may suffer or may seem to suffer from that on a per book basis, but because it's a series and they all link together, when the real question is how does he land, how does he stick the landing in book seven? And I think he does quite well. Like,

I think book seven actually ends really well in a way that I didn't expect. I also think reading the ancillary stuff that's set in that King of Earth stuff like insomnia and yeah that's you know other stuff that's going to be the weirdest part right because we've talked before both here on the major spoilers podcast and other places how the dark tower kind of dips into a lot of the other Stephen King stuff like there's you know there's references or there's characters that pop in and out and it's like is that going to be a rights issue with this or you know what's what's what's going to be though that's a good question like who who has rights I guess Prime currently has the more updated version of the stand,

so they'll be okay with the Flan, or with the, not Flanagan. The Man in the Black, fled across the desert and the, that's his name. And Roland followed. Again, he was named, but that guy, Randall Flag, there you go. Randall Flagg is the same dude, literally the same dude in the stand as he is in Dark Tower. But his reason for existing in things like the stand are much more explained in the Dark Tower series. And I love all that twisted, like, interconnected stuff. I even think he handled the part where he inserts himself into his own book and his car accident.

I think that... Planetigan better get crack in then. I think that works weirdly. And if you got... Just hire Joe Hill. He looks like his dad, like, 20 years ago. Oh, yeah, yeah. Most definitely.

Just do that. Yeah. Anyway, whatever they do, I'm on board, man. Oh, I'm so exciting. I think a lot of people will be excited about this. I mean, I am, I am, you know, whether it's a... I am weirded out about it or super excited. I am very much in the middle of this.

I will probably watch it. And I will then probably then move on to books two and three and four before the first episode drops. But yeah, I mean, anytime I see Stephen King on a book, it's just like, it's going to be interesting, but it's going to just. Well, you got to meet Eddie. He's in book two. You got to get to Eddie. And then you got to get to book four, Wizard and Glass, one of the greatest books ever written, period. It's so good.

Oh, Wizards and Glass, so good. And how they'll do that will they do like a book per season? I don't know. Like, I don't know what they're going to do, but I'm, oh, pins and needles on this one. So there's seven books. I'm not sure they could spend the next 10 years doing that. They could do seven, seven seasons. I bet they mix a couple of the books together and cut out.

I mean, to be honest, when I read the Dark Tower, the first book, when it was over, I was like, did I get an abridged version of the book? Or is this it? because this is literally like three episodes of a TV series. Yeah, you're not wrong. They could combine a bunch. I mean, I like the slow burn of that first book. I know some people don't, but I really like that. And I like the stuff where that town has their interaction with him.

That's all I'll say about that. I think that's an amazing set piece. So I just think there's stuff you could linger on and other things you could move past quickly. But yeah, man, and Flanagan, I trust he hasn't made anything I didn't like. So I'm all in on that dude. Have you watched Midnight Club? That's the only one I haven't seen, actually. I've seen everything else.

Bly Manor, the haunting stuff, all his movies. Brian, you saw Midnight Club. Midnight Club. Yeah, Midnight Club was great. And it's self-contained. You know, I know it obviously does lead into a potential second season, but don't let that scare you away from seeing it, thinking, oh, it's going to leave me hanging.

No, no, it's... Yeah, I've watched the first two episodes. I haven't found the time of the commitment to... finish the rest yeah sure i'll get to it at some point i really like midnight mass in a very specific way and i thought that was the most king thing he had done stephen kingish sort of thing for sure yeah most definitely so i i don't know he's just tailor made for this he's already done king adaptation successfully like just get in there and go go get it done just go up to be bezos and say hand me the money i'm ready to work all right he's also a

really good following tech talk he's funny mike planning it uh all right let's talk about some other DC business. Okay. James Gunn and the Wonder Woman stuff. Wonder Woman 3 canceled, right? We're done. Well, so here's the deal. Patty Jenkins turned in a treatment that she co-wrote with Jeff Johns, and the response

was, we're not moving forward with this, meaning this treatment that she turned in. So does that mean that there's not a Wonder Woman movie that's in the works? No, it doesn't mean that, but it doesn't mean that there's not a Wonder Woman movie in the works, nor does it mean that Patty Jenkins is not involved, nor does it mean that Galgadot is not going to be Wonder Woman. It simply means that, hey, you turned in a treatment. We're going to pass on this because we're looking at the future of the greater DC cinematic universe and we're going a different direction.

And so that's got a lot of people very much upset. But then James Gunn went out and said, hey, that Hollywood reporter story that you guys were reading, it's full of truths, half truths, things that are outright damn lies and things that we don't know whether their truths or lies yet. Right? So then he followed up on, I want to say, Friday with a poster for the first Superman

movie saying Superman premiered 44 years ago today. And then some people were like, hey, does this mean that you guys are not going to do anything with Superman? And he replied back, yes, of course, Superman is a huge priority, if not the biggest priority for us right now. So we know that Henry Cavill made his reappearance. Spoiler alert, everybody, for Black Adam. he returned that and then of course he tweeted out that I've returned to Superman.

Whether that meant that it was just for the Black Adam movie or whether it's for future projects, it may mean for future projects. And then someone else replied, what about the almighty Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie? And James Gunn replied, that's not a priority for me and even much less of one for Ryan Reynolds. But he did say that Green Lantern is very important to them. So when you look at the Green Lanterns, the Green Lantern core, of course there was a lot of talk,

probably this time last year about a Green Lantern core television series on HBO Max but now that David Zazlov is in charge we should all cancel our HBO Max subscriptions

and sell our WB stock as quickly as possible. Oh, I don't know. I think that stuff's going to work itself out. But the deal with Green Lantern is I think they should go with the John Stewart story

if it was me. I would die. Yeah, and that's the thing that really always causes me to scratch my head is because most audiences who grew up watching cartoons,

probably saw the Justice League animated series. And John Stewart has been in the Justice League animated series the Green Lantern for almost every incarnation of a Green Lantern in animated form, including the animated movies, although there have been a few Hal Jordans. And occasionally a, what's his name, will pop up one punch, Guy Gardner. Guy Gardner, yeah. Yeah. So I would really hope that they do do a John Stewart Green Lantern movie if they're going

to do it. For the chat, wondering who we're talking about, this is not the comedian host, John Stewart. Not the former host of the Daily Show, John Stewart. No, no. And the current host of whatever that Apple thing is. It's John Stewart. What's the matter of John Stewart? Yeah, it's John Stewart. Yeah, it's John Stewart. Yeah, it's John Stewart. I mean, he's the name. He was literally the guy with the name before John Stewart was John Stewart. So there, take that. Right. I don't know how John Stewart is, but I'm going to bet that they were around the same age. Right around the same age. Yeah. Yeah. But popularity and notoriety-wise, the Green Lantern beat John Stewart the host by a good 20 years. Oh, yeah, quite a quite a bit. And he's a great Green Lantern. I would love more exploration of that character. It's a great story, yeah, yeah. I don't know who, you know, they should cast or whatever.

I mean, there are so many great actors that are out there. I think Idris Elbow would be really good as a John Stewart. I think who's the guy that does Creed? Oh, Michael B. Jordan would be great. I think he would be really good as a Green Lantern. Sure. In that. So John Stewart's background is that he is a, you know, he comes from the Marines and has

military training. And so I think you need somebody that could fit that role. You don't want somebody super skinny and super, you know, super tiny to play John Stewart. But, you know, think of your bulky, military-looking actors. And that they probably would fit. You don't want, you don't want the wire version of Michael B. Jordan. you want the right uh you know current like apollo creed version yes most definitely um the series peripheral um yeah what is that amazon you stop to watching that no no no i still watching that

i'm i'm i'm i'm i miss we're an episode left is all kim and i have but i love okay all right make sure you stick around post credits oh really yeah there's a post credit sequence in that a very long post credit henry cavill shows up and says i'm superman yeah let's talk No, but the guy that has lost his limbs in the military, I think he would actually be a really good John Stewart, too. Oh, he would be good. Yeah, I like him a lot. The guy with the cool future motorcycle thing.

With the cool motorcycle, yeah. Yeah, that show rock, dude. I loved it. I need to watch that. I think you like it, Brian, a lot. It's got that chlorine Moritz motis in it or whatever name is. So, all right, good news, everybody. So other than that, I mean, James Gunn just,

started this gig. It's not like, some people are already like, where's the, where are we in the Oh, there's already a campaign to fire James Gunn? Why? He's barely been there. He's been there like five minutes. First of all, so keep in mind, who didn't get the job as being in charge of the

DC Cinematic Universe? Snyder? Zach Snyder. Well, he had the job. Stans who are out there screaming, fire John, fire this guy, fire James Gunn, we need to get Zach Snyder in here. Guns just going to screw up the whole Snyderverse. Hold on a second. Snyder had his time, though. He's done.

He did. He walked away. He walked away. And, of course, granted, he walked away because of huge tragedy and then kind of forced his way back in and got his followers to do the Snyder cut on the HBO Max. But, yeah, this is something that's going to go in a very different direction. And I think when we talk about tone of superhero movies, not everything has to be dark and grim and barely able to be seen. I think you can have really lighthearted stuff. I think you can bring back a Superman 78 and make it and make it shine. Are people worried that it's going to go the opposite direction as the Zachson? Yeah, I think that everything's going to be too funny.

And it's like, no, we don't need, you know, a funny blue beetle, yeah, but we don't need a funny, a funny green lantern. Well, you know what I'm saying to that? I think they're worried about Superman doing dick and fart jokes. Well, I get that, okay? There is some level of that I understand. but I don't know where it's coming from. If you look at something like Guardians, which in itself is kind of ridiculous from the get-go

in terms of it's, you know, just... Guardians is weird, all right? It's just a weird thing. And he took that movie, had a combination of funny, serious, and real heart, and made it work. Why don't you want that? I don't understand why that is a thing you're afraid of.

And if people haven't been reading Superman, and Superman son of Calaisal and all the things have been going on in the DC comics, Superman does have a sense of humor. He can be funny. He doesn't have to be a stoic all the time. He can be there and have fun and be lighthearted when he needs to be lighthearted. But when it's time to fight, he is not going to let someone blow up an entire city of Metropolis.

He's going to look like he's running away. So the bad guy follows. So he removes innocent citizens from harm. Yeah. He says things like this. That's right. The only music you'll be playing is in the Galaxia. prison band. See?

He's a funny fella. He's got the jokes, you know? Yeah. So, and again, I keep forgetting who the other co-guy is with James Gunn on this. So this is a two-person thing. This is not just James Gunn in charge. So the weird thing about all of this news that has been broken out that has come out is, first of all, there's no official word from Warner Brothers on any of this stuff. James Gunn has not said, yes, we have canceled Wonder Woman and that Galgado is no longer. going to be Wonder Woman. He's not said anything like that. But then you get these things like the new Batman Beyond movie with, uh, is, is canceled. I haven't really seen anything beyond rumors on that stuff. Uh, so you do have to be really careful when you're going out and looking for this stuff. Now, the other thing to keep in mind is, uh, yes, James Gunn and the other

person, uh, have just recently been hired in the last three months. They have been busy the last month or so up in Aspen, just kind of, uh, formalizing their plans for the next five years of the DC universe and they are now back in Hollywood getting ready to meet with Zazlov before the end of the year so they can pitch the movies that they think will work and the direction that they want to go with the entire universe and my guess is whatever either the very first big convention of 2023 is or right around the same time that the Guardians of the Galaxy volume three is coming into theaters you will see Warner Brothers come forward with a big press announcement to get a lot of the media attention on their grand plan.

Gotcha. I'm very excited to hear more about it. I don't understand Snyder stands. I don't get them. I'm not even, I don't even like dislikes Snitcher. I like a lot of his movies. I just think it's the same mentality.

It's the same mentality as the Elon stands and the same mentality of the Bezos stands. It's that same stuff. Well, that's culty and lame and I don't like it. yes agreed all right well let's move on to this final deal you should be speaking of dark and gritty yeah Batman spawn number one is out this week and I'm a fan of the one they the one they did with Frank Miller back in the day yeah well Todd McFarlane did that back in the day

there were two different versions Batman spawn and then spawned Batman because back then it was DC got a crack at a story and then Image Comics got a crack at the story sharing the characters wouldn't surprise me if we see a spawned Batman coming from image in the next month or so. But this week it's all Batman and Spawn. Todd McFarlane, Greg Capulow, teaming

together. This is a story that it indicates that is a follow-up to the last time that they met when Batman threw that battering into Spawn's face. And he had to tied up like a football. Yeah, it took him like 10 issues for that to heal later in the Spawn issues.

I loved that continuity. I thought that was great. Super cool. But so Capulow is doing page by page, and I think McFarland did the cover this time? There are so many people doing the covers. So you got Todd McFarlane on there. Sean Murphy is doing one. Jay Scott Campbell.

Jim Lee is doing a 1 in 100 variant for that. Brett Booth. Yeah, so there's a whole bunch of people doing covers on this one. We don't have the sneak peek up today. It'll be up first thing tomorrow morning, 7 a.m. tomorrow over at major spoilers.com or within 710, 715, somewhere around there, where you can check out the pages on this. I don't know if anyone listens to, I think it was the Tim Ferriss show, like two weeks ago, I want to say. Todd McFarlane was on talking about how, you know, his early career.

And in the middle of the interview, he's like, hey, you know, this book is due at the publisher on Monday so it can be on stands on time. And I don't know how far Tim Ferriss works ahead. But it was literally McFarlane only had like the first eight of 40 pages done at the time of that recording. of, and then Capulow had to ink it, someone had to color it, someone had to letter it, and it had to get to the printer so it can get into our hands this week. So it's a very tight turnaround. That's some, yeah, that's hauling ass right there. Let's see, I'm trying to find the spawn issue on the site I look at.

I'm trying to see other reviews yet. Oh, you mean, you're looking at another site besides major. Well, no, but you don't have a full review out yet, do you have a major, do you have a review? No, no, no, we don't have a review up yet. Okay, that's why I was looking for. We wouldn't be allowed to do one. anyway until at least tomorrow morning. Well, I'm very

excited about this. I have love for that era. So this will show up on both the D.C. side and the image side? I don't know if it'll show up on the image side. The only place I've seen it being solicited is through D.C. Comics. Okay. Well, that I am very interested in this. Yeah. So you'll be able to get this on

Comicsology tomorrow. You'll be able to go to your bookstore and be able to pick one up. Although if you are looking for a Jim Lee variant cover, one in 100, you probably will need to go to a bigger comic book store, you know, to get those because that means that one in 100, it means in order to get one Jim Lee variant, the comic store has to hire or has to buy 100 copies of this.

Oh, gotcha. So, you know, if you, and then the incentive, of course, is buy a lot of, buy a lot of these issues, you'll get this one in 100 Jim Lee variant or the one in 250 Todd McFarlane ink variant or the 101 and 666 signed variant from Todd McFarlane. Um, the incentive then is then the store turns around and sells that Jim Lee or the Todd McFarland variant covers for like $200. Oh, geez. Okay. So, um, uh, this is kind of a tangent and it just made me think of it.

Um, are there any of the, so Jim Lee, of course, got to start with Marvel before they went and formed image and, you know, had a ton of X-Men work and all that. Brian is, is Jim Lee stuff in, are there any variants in Snap from Jim Lee? or do they have rights to all that? I haven't seen any. You know, that you say that. I've seen, it feels like it's way more modern newer artists that are doing variants,

unfortunately. But I did see a, what are the, oh, geez, the guy who, Alex Ross, I saw an Alex Ross,

invisible woman variant or a spider woman? Oh, yeah, yeah, I've seen that one too. Yeah, it's like, okay, now let's give you a Bill Sinkhevich,

you know, a new mutant or something like a, the warlock or Skyfer, yeah. Yeah, why the heck not? I would love that. Yep. Didn't also, well, whatever.

They got lots of room to do that in the future for sure. Yeah, and I would assume if that stuff was published back in the end of the Marvel name, they'd still have rights to do it. Oh, yeah, I'm sure they do. Yeah, yeah. It's part of the reason those guys left is because they didn't control their own rights. Right, right. Yeah, and that's what, if you go and listen to the Tim Ferriss interview with McFarlane,

he goes into, here's everything that happened in 24 hours and how image comics was formed. And when we went into Marvel and said, here's what we want. They said, no. And they were like, okay, well, we're leaving. We're going to go form our own thing. And then they went across the street to D.C. And D.C. was like, oh, my God, we're going to get Todd McFarland and Jim Lee and Rob Leifeld. And they're like, no, we just wanted to give you a heads up that

we're doing our own, our own company. And we won't be working for you either. And yeah, it's a really good interview. It's about two hours a long. Oh, really? Definitely go check that. Yeah, yeah. All right. I'm interested. Well, there you have it. Another look at the vast world of comics and pop culture from

Major Spoilers.com. A great place to go bookmark and hang out all the time, including great shows. I'm on this week's major spoilers podcast. Very excited. Yes, you are. We're going to be talking about Aquaman and looking at some funky stuff from Aquaman, although I do believe

issue four, we're only reading four issues of this Aquaman Tide, Time and Tide series. I believe issue four was actually used as part of the Young Justice TV series for either season three or season four. I can't remember which one. But the storyline seems very, very familiar. Oh, interesting. Well, I am ready. I'm digging to that this afternoon. Very excited to read it.

And we will be here to talk about it this week. Anything else you want to mention before we go? No, I think just anytime we get Scott Johnson on the Major Spoilers podcast is a huge fun time. And I think maybe we'll see about who else we can get on next year. Ooh, very nice. Keep listening for that. So big stuff is happening in 2023 over at major spoilers.com. that's where you want to go. And in the meantime, until the podcast drops, make sure that you stay hydrated. Very nice. We'll see you later.

I've had something here. I wanted to share, Brian. The Dark Tower series is famous for calling some of the kind of lesser beings on midworld pubs. Okay. And I'll give you an example. Like a play on plebs? Kind of like that. Yeah, I think so.

But at one point, the voice or the book, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, The audiobook version of it, somebody had sent us here on the show some years ago, sent us a compilation of these. And I'm just going to play a few. So enjoy this. Pubes. There's a Pube. Pube. Pube. Pube. Puberty. Pube. Puberty. Pubes. And the real pubes.

Maybe it was the pubes. He's what the old woman called a pub. Pubey. Fun-loving pubes. Pubes. Pubes. Pubes. Pubes. And it goes on like that for like 10 minutes. Wow. Yeah. So, anyway, if anyone's going to read the Dark Tower, be prepared. Yeah, a lot of pubs. Do they take all that out in the Brazilian edition of the Dark Tower? As soon as it got there, immediately.

They removed it quickly and very fast. Like they removed the pubs from the books. No mention of it whatsoever. Just pulled that band-aid off, as it were. It's just a blank space where that word would be. Yeah. And it was so fast. Kind of painful, actually.

All right. Hey, how about a quick email from a listener here? This is from Ben, who wrote in and says, hello, Simon and buddy, or bubby, rather. Bubby. It could be booby. Pubs, booby. I was driving to work this morning, and I was listening to the radio, and I heard a familiar soundbite. I heard, quote, hey, is it too early to get a fish sandwich?

Unquote. Just to let you know, Canadian radio stations are stealing your stick. Love the Dunaway, though, Ben. So, hmm, hmm. Interesting. Well, look, if people run into a clip like that and they think that no one else has used it. Exactly. Jokes on them.

Jokes on them, yeah. And maybe we did that too. Other people may have done it before us. I don't know. For sure, yeah. I don't own that guy's thing about sandwiches. Listen, that good morning, good morning in the news this morning, good morning clip has laughter in it because I think the audio clip that we got came from the soup. That's right.

Good morning, good morning, everybody in the news this morning, good morning. That's exactly right. That's not Savannah Guthrie laughing in the background. That's a... Although I guess that would have been. And would that have, I think that was still in Matt Lauer and what's her name, we're Lord and Hostess of the Tea, the morning show. Right.

Matt Lauer and. Katie Couric, right? Katie Couric, thank you, yes. I think it was those days. Like 9-11 days. That's about a bad one that was one. Right. All right.

And curry. Oh, Ann Curry. I like anchory. I do too. She sounds tasty and spicy. Anyway, let's move on to this text we got from a listener. This came to us at 801-471. 10462. Hello, slot machine and blackjack.

You can guess what this is about. This is Nate from somebody named Kicked Bush says, when in TMS Vegas, or when is TMS Vegas? I just found out that my daughter has a volleyball tournament in Las Vegas, April 29th and 30th, and I was wondering if there would be any overlap. Good news, everyone. Yeah, it's not necessarily overlap, but tangential. So like you come for TMS Vegas and then stick around for the volleyball tournament that

weekend. Yeah, and the crazy town that is NFL draft weekend, which is why we're avoiding the weekend, but it won't be, it won't be there, though. It's going to be in Kansas City, so it won't be nearly the crowds that we had last year. Isn't it still nutty, though? Like, just like, they still kind of lose it. There's still going to be people who watch it in the sports books, but I don't think there's, it's probably going to be one-tenth of what we saw last year. Oh, that's good to know.

Because people go there so they can, so they can see the players and see the live picks and that sort of thing. So Kansas City is going to look like Vegas. True. That makes sense. I wouldn't want to be in Kansas City that week. Boy, howdy. As far as I know, the sports books don't do any sort of betting on

who's, what team is going to draft which players. So it's not like there's a benefit for people to go there and see it in Vegas. Right, right. So yeah, we're there the 24th through the 26th. And if you hang out out for, if you come early, then you'll be there that week already. So,

I think that's a great, great happenstance this year. Yeah, I need to reach out to all you potential taskmaster participants and make sure that if you, when you book your flights, that maybe you give yourself like a come in Monday morning kind of thing. So we have time before the first deal to do some fun stuff. Yeah, well, I think we're probably, we did this drive, right? Yeah, but we did this last time where we went to. um oh st george the night before yeah and stay there one night and then come out early the next day so that way yeah there you go yeah i think we can make that happen i think cool unless gas gets any more expensive then we might fly i don't know can't decide

don't fly with me let's fly let's fly away we're bombastic all right moving on uh oh hey look at this it's uh some some patrons to mention we got a a flood of you folks in here recently and so I want to mention them. We got Andy. Foamwop. Or Frome, sorry, Fromewop. TDP minus. Kyle.
