The morning stream. Oh, yeah, that's quite a story. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's Thursday, December 29th, 2020. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Nibbitt. Brian, we're so close.

It's like, look at that, 29, it'll roll over one more time and then one more time. Right, right, right, right. And then, and then 2023, that's right, yeah. The year of Diablo four is upon us. Very exciting. If only somebody was doing a show about that. I know. If only somebody in this damn place was excited about Diallo.

It's creeping up quick, though. I didn't, I don't know, 2022. I say this every year lately, I feel like, but man, it went fast. So fast. We had Vegas this year, right? We did, yeah. Yeah. It doesn't feel like we did.

I put you all through hell to try and figure out a math problem. It feels recent and then far away. It's weird. I don't know. I'm wrestling with time is what's going on right now. I'm having a bit of a wrestle. I'm already trying to figure out, you know, I need to reach out to all of you potential contestants for Taskmaster. Vegas because with the

with our show night, our live TMS being in the middle as opposed to the last thing that gives us a little bit less time to edit. So I might need you guys to come in Sunday if possible. I think we might be coming in Sunday. Oh good. Good. All right. Excellent.

Yeah. Well, yeah, no, yeah. That is what we were thinking. We were considering the St. George thing again but this time we were thinking about it on the tail end. So Vegas. then chill out in St. George and then go home. So I don't know. We'll see. We'll see.

You know, those people there in St. George, they'll just have to wait and see. You know, if I go to the best Taco Bell on the planet, well, you'll have to wait until April. You can always stop there on, you know, you have to still go through St. George on the way too, Vegas. You can get Taco Bell on the way in and Taco Bell on the way out. That's right. And it's the, I mean, honestly, I don't eat that much of Taco Bell anymore. But if you're in St. George, the main Taco Bell, they're on the main road there. I don't know they're doing something right

All right so we got a show We're going to do the whole thing We don't have Wendy today But we do have read this with Amy That'll happen during Wendy's slot So watch for that Do you remember that we've talked about him In fact recently the video professor

We've talked about this guy Yes You may be familiar with this right here Try our product Try my product Try my product That was his whole thing at the end of his thing Right

Try my product And he was teaching It was early 90s The guy was teaching you how to use Word and Excel and Windows. Here's how you open a folder. Yep. Here's how Windows.

Your personal computer. That is exactly right. And he had all these like different and he branched out later. Like when the internet happened he was like eBay. There's a whole disc on eBay and things like this. Right. So anyway, I always just was fascinated by that dude and I don't know why I just was. And I found his old call and get advice on computer.

computer help number. And I want to try it today. Now, I haven't pre-tried it. So this could be Capone's Vault. Okay. Oh, my God, yeah. We might have a, we might have a Compone's Vault problem where nothing happens. Right.

It could easily be. Yeah. Ask your uncle. Yeah. Yeah, no kidding. I just watched or listened to a really good podcast about that. Oh, really? That whole mess.

Yeah. It actually, we all think of it as this, like, massive failure because it was. Mm-hmm. But it single-handedly catapulted, uh, the production company who sold it to the by the way that was syndication the main main networks wouldn't carry it that was pure syndication that's right which i forgot all about and it was a flop from a from that perspective but it was so watched by so many millions of people that it catapulted both that production company which was by the way run by doug luellen of all people oh my god

the people's chord narrator dude this guy right that dude so he So how did it feel when you lost your case about the dog pooping in your front yard? Exactly. So he makes, you know, bank on this deal way more than they expected. And everybody wanted them now because this was such a huge hit from a numbers perspective. That was purely what they were looking at. Was not a failure in the eyes of the executives. And then what's his name?

Geraldo, almost called him Gerardo, which would have been... Gerardo, sure, because he's Rico Answley. Yeah, of course. he was, he was like at a low point of his career. He was like on his way out and he thought he was screwed after this. He went and drank at a bar all night and was like so pissed about how it turned out. Anyway, the next morning, his agent is like ringing his phone off the hook. People are wanting to hire Geraldo left and right. That guy went from like washed out this ex-CBS guy to like suddenly everybody wanted him. Not in the best possible way. Like his TV show he got was bad,

you know. It was. Yeah. But he made a lot of money. So it just depends on how he measured. I mean, Basically, he went from being, like, you know, semi-respectable journalist to your go-to guy if you needed something sensational. Yeah. And when he had his show, it was always like, we've got a girl on today who says that an alien molested her cow. You know, we're going to talk to that guy. So anyway, it was fascinating. I highly recommend it. It's part of that one-year show from Slate where they just, the whole season is about one-year in time.

They did one from 42, and this one was from 80. That's why you're so good at years is because you watch stuff like that where it's all kind of encapsulated into one thing. I hadn't thought of that. That's true, though. I guess I do. I don't know. I glom onto that stuff. But anyway, 86 is a crazy year.

A lot of weird stuff happened. So check out that show. Anyway, point is. Video professor. This guy, video professor. We're going to call this number, which still exists. It's 800, 509, 4617. The number still exists because it's a phone number.

Yeah, the number still, the number has never left. Those digits all currently still exist in our numerical system. Yeah, whether we get this guy or not. Try my product. Is questionable. I don't know. It'd be great if it just goes right to him. Oh, if he's just sitting around answering phones, that'd be amazing.

He paid for this phone number in perpetuity, so I'm just going to use it as my basic home phone number. I did a little looking. He's still like doing stuff. He's still got like a thing you can order and he. Tell me that he does YouTube now and it's always. Hey, smash my subscribe button and hit the like if you like this video. Yeah, you know, he knows all the tricks. That's his thing.

All right, let's see what happened to this number. I'm going to try it. Whoops, here we go. It's ringing. All right, good, good news so far. There we go. I'm hearing it. Yeah, we've got to ring.

I didn't test this beforehand, so who knows where we're going to go here. All I know is I need help with Word, Excel. and Windows 95, so this better be... Well, four seasons, a dildo shop. How can I help you? The Four Seasons has a dildo shop. Ah, where are you going? Coffee shop.

I'll be down to the dildo shop. See you later. That's the one that Giuliani set up for that press conference. Oh. No, that was, what was that called? It was a four seasons. You're right. Four seasons, uh, uh, uh, murchin sales.

Shit. Landscaping. That's what it was. Oh, that's right. It was landscaping, but it was next door to a dildo shop. That's right. That's right. They would have hosted it at the dildo shop.

That would have made everything better. I knew there was a, uh, some sort of connection to the, somehow that existed in that story. So, uh, that just rang and ring. Well, that's a bummer, you know? Yeah, it is a bummer. I really wanted to know. Can I still, I want a big fat nothing burger, Scott.

Well, yeah, but now our careers will take off because, uh, exactly what the people perceive as a as a huge mistake we made big money just now we just really killed it uh no i don't know if anyone knows how to get a hold of that dude in fact someone in the chat wants to do we want to get hold him i kind of do i don't know why i'm fascinated by that person i feel like his mustache was the first thing that caught my eye and after that i was like is he really making money doing this are there really people that are just like clamoring for how to use excel out there uh or how to make windows three one do its thing just always blew my mind that guy.

So if anyone knows how we can get a hold of that dude, I'd love it. That'd be great. Okay. The, uh, oh, wow, apparently he sued the internet, according to a wired article that I don't have time to read right now, but he sued the internet? He sued the internet. I mean, of course, it's, you know, a wired article, so that's the, the, the headline, but, uh, I was getting a comment on how, um, uh, his, his, his,

photo looks like somebody just walked in the door that he wants them to think that he's happy to see them but he really isn't oh oh yeah that guy's got that face for sure this this photo right there is like oh hey mildred yeah good to see you glad you can stop by yeah that's the face here you go people watching video there he is little small guy in his blue shirt and his yellow tie that's one try my product Anyway, so there's that. Hey, Brian, how can you look a little heavier? What's going on?

Yeah, I'm 21 grams heavier today, Scott. Got on the scale and realized I'm 21 grams heavier. Weird. Huh. Yeah. Oh, I wonder what that is. Weird. Yeah.

You're familiar with that movie? I have seen, I have, I know the movie exists. I've never seen 21 grams. I assumed it was something about, like when you die your soul leaves or something. That's right. Okay. And when your soul comes back, you become 21. 21 grand's heavier, Scott.

Your soul came back. What happened? My soul came back. Oh, that's good. It's finished. It's been repaired. New engine has been put into it. I drove it home, and it's purring like a kitten. Nice. Yeah.

This whole ordeal, right? So get down there. Or actually, I get the call that it's ready to be picked up. Like, oh, great, excellent. Yeah. So I say, hey, by the way, what was the final cost on that just so I can have the money ready and everything? And he gives me a price that is now $7,600. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's higher.

Yeah, which is $1,100 than the original quote of $6,500. And then still higher than the revised quote that was $6,800. That's not just, it's not 50 bucks. That's a lot. Exactly. That's like, oh, yeah, we've, you know, we also figured we'd fix this or this thing needed to be repaired or whatever. So I said, uh, no, that's not, that's not happening. You guys quoted me, uh, 6,800. The last, you know, the last updated quote was 6,800. He says, oh, uh, okay, hold on. Let me talk to my manager and see what we can do. Yeah. So he calls me back in 15 minutes. He says, oh, yeah, we got some of our numbers wrong. Yeah, it's 6,800.

What? I'm like, what the hell? Like, you guys. guys are totally, totally, like, dicking me around and tried to get another, what, does somebody else need a swimming pool there? That is some dark work there. I don't like it. Yeah. So, I've got my car back. I want to take a, you know, take a moment, take a day or two to, to not be reactionary

and, and flame somebody on the internet. but boy am I going to leave them a Yelp review. Yeah, I do. Google review. And I'm going to copy and paste that into a letter to Kia corporate and Kia customer service. Because that's really, really skeevy business, man. I don't like that at all. It'd be one thing if they came back and said, yeah, we, you know, it ended up costing more, but we agree.

We told you a price we should stick to it. Like, that should be your answer. That should have been the way we came back. We messed up our numbers. We don't know. That makes me wonder if this thing only should have cost you three grand and not sick. You know? Exactly.

But while I was there and I'm like, you know, I'm saying, geez, all right, well, seven months. I hope I still remember how to drive, joking, because I've still been driving in his car. But he's like, yeah, well, we've got a key optima. Even the key optimas are worse. We've got somebody who's been waiting for their car for 165 days. Like almost half a year waiting for their car.

That's insane. It's insane. What is it? Are these shortages every car? car or just Kia or just Korean motor stuff? I think every car because we're going to talk, we've got a letter from somebody later on the show that

talks about, I think supply chain issues, right? Yes, yeah, a little bit. Hyundai issues. Yeah, yeah. I just thought all that stuff was, I guess that's more of the computer chip stuff that was worked out, maybe other stuff still. Yeah, I guess other stuff might still be, I mean,

it might be staffing issues all across the board. I don't know. I have no idea, but, boy, I don't, you know, I was always told, don't lease, it's a bad deal. But then I hear stories like this. Yeah, I hear stories like this and I go, hmm, maybe leasing isn't such a bad idea. Yeah, they made a whole character based on that in, what was it, Law and Order SVU? It was Lisa Katera.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Because somebody heard a commercial for the Hyundai, or what was it, the Katera, the, um. I don't remember who they. that is who is it that makes that uh oh chicago hope was the character i think chicago hope let's see here there's a character named chicago hope that's cool no no it was a tv show called chicago oh you said it he said a character named chic oh i'm sorry i've made a character on chicago hope oh that's fine it just sounded great i want a character named chicago hope never mind actress where is it it was a catalach catara the name's hope chicago host played by stacey edwards on what show

where is it? Was Chicago Hope? Was it? I never saw that. Hold on a second. Lisa Katera, because I, there it is right there. Okay.

Yeah, it was Chicago Hope. In 1997, John Tinker, producer of television medical drama, Chicago Hope, was inspired by an inadvertent pun

in a Katera commercial saying, who is Lisa Katera in response to the Katera tagline, Lease Katera. No way. So we introduced a character named Dr. Lisa Katera,

played by Stacey Edwards. I kind of love that. I didn't know that was a thing. That's hilarious. That's amazing. Yep. Who does that?

Nobody does that. Nobody does that. No. But why not? You got to have a character name. Why not make it up that way? Why not make it up that way? And Lisa Katera is a perfectly believable character name.

Hi, I'm Dr. Lisa Katera. Oh, thanks. You know what, Hollywood? Have a little more fun like that more often. I'm Dr. By a Saturn. By a Saturn.

No, it would be by a, Tobias. Tobias. Tobias Addern. Tobias Addern. There you go. Tobias Addern. There you go.

It's perfect. I love it. All right. Well, I'm glad you get your car back. But I still think, man, what a stinker.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. My, my posterior is a little sore from that experience. It's not cool, man. I feel like that,

that extra hundred or that extra grand. That's not a small thing. That's not a small air. No. Exactly. It's like a, oh, sorry, we forgot to carry the one or something like that. That's like a, oh, sorry, we put the decimal point in the wrong place kind of thing. But really what it is, is, damn it thought we could probably get them to pay a little bit more. Yeah. What it makes me feel like is, I know this is conspiratorial, but this is the problem of shady work like this is it makes people second guess everything. But if they're going to say it's an extra grand, is that their way of covering the fact that they're overcharging for this work already by like two? So when they overcharge you for a grand and you go, wait a minute, you told me this. And they go, oh, you're right, we're back to this.

And then that whole method of haggling. Yes, I hate that. I'm not even saying they're doing it. I'm just saying this is why people think they're doing it. It's because they do shit like this. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's certainly possible.

And it's just, it is just, you know, again, I love my Kia. Love my Kia soul. I would still consider buying another Kia if there was another dealership or a pair of place. Well, another dealership, because there's something like recalls and things like that need to be done by a dealership as opposed to. We've got a really great mom-and-pop mechanic that we go to nearby. But for some things, you still need the dealership for warranty work and stuff like that. But I can't imagine ever going back there. Yeah, I wouldn't go there again, ever.

That dealership would be on my crossed-off list, you know. Exactly. Like, I'm going to go leave a turd on their front porch. You got to catch it on fire, though. That's the only way that really sticks, you know. Yeah, but the problem is that I've got to do it. I mean, you know, I can't set fire to a burning bag of poop and get away with it at a dealership where there are cameras. So it's got to be left overnight.

Yeah, I don't know how anyone gets away with any of those kind of slash pranks slash revenge. Yeah, how do you even do it? You can't do it. Everyone, there's video footage of every damn thing that ever happens, always. Like when I go to my sister's house, her freaking phone or her security system announces every time I get up. to the porch. Hello and welcome. You're being filmed.

It's like, well, I know. You don't need to tell me I'm being filmed. This is good. We're living in the 2020s here. I know that everything I do is on camera. Like, person of interest really had that, had that figured out fairly early on. Oh, yeah, they knew.

And then the dude just got all weird with his opinions. And when I heard that, it kind of gave me a distaste for that show. Then you were done. That was it. I was done. I like Ben Linus. yeah he's cool I like that guy

that guy's great you know here's a real jerk who's that the actor in alias who played the main bad guy old guy you know what I'm talking about

yeah it's funny we just saw we just saw a TV show where we thought we thought it was that guy but it was Joel Gray can't think of his name but he was like a big deal

in that show and he did other stuff and somebody what does I read this. Somebody had to interview some actors or something and just said he was the most miserable, hardest to work with, A-Hole Butthole they ever

worked with, yeah. I want to pull up that guy's name. He was a very interesting actor, but it sounds like he's a real picker. Oops. When you just type alias in Google, it just automatically links you to Autodesk, the makers of alias software. Yeah, there you go. Oh, the character

is the actor Ron Rifkin? Ron Rifkin is the actor. Okay. There you go. Skipio found it. Or I've picked the name out. See me a little work. Yeah, he's supposed to be a poop. Poo pooh. I'm here to, oh, Arvin Sloan was his name?

You know what it was? It was the old man. There's the Joel Gray character, the one that kind of is behind the scenes. Yeah. That he meets with early on in the show. We thought that was Ron Rifkin. And really, it's Joel Gray who's looking like Ron Rifkin these days. Oh, it reminds me of the old guy, and so Kim just finished, and I've watched it with her, the last part of it.

So I feel kind of weird about this. I only saw half the season, but she finished up the new White Lotus season. Oh, yeah. What'd she think of it? She loved it. I did too. She's completely obsessed with that show. She loves it so much.

And I got pretty obsessed toward the end, but, man, I can't believe what they did in that last episode. That was insane. I know. I thought this was your through line forever, not to give anything a way. way, but I thought you were... No, that... You know, that was always going to be your, like, common... Yep, careful, carefully.

Yeah, maybe Uncle Rico next season. But anyway, maybe. See, that's just vague enough. There was another character that I thought was the body that we see in the first episode. Oh, okay. And I, and let's just say she was, well, she was a high-price-tucker. Let's just say, there's my hint. Let's just say, that's who I thought.

Yeah, gotcha. I feel you. I don't give you anything away. No, I feel you. Yeah. Anyway, it was really good. But the guy plays the grandpa and the Italian family. So you got, what's his name, Michael from...

F. Murray Abraham. F. Murray Abraham. He always, when I see him, I always think of him. I see F. Murray Abraham and I think of either him or I think of the Spanish actor who's always in stuff, whose name I can't remember. Oh, yes. Jose Ferrer? I think that's... No, Miguel Ferrer.

Is it Miguel Ferrer? Yeah, the one, he was in Robocop once. Yes. Yeah, that guy, snort and coke off a hooker's chest or whatever. The things you remember are the movies of your youth. No, there is a very, like, Miguel Ferrer and F. Murray Abraham, for whatever reason, feel very similarly. Did you, you never watched Mythoclast, right? No, yet.

I keep, it's cute. It's in my list. I just got to watch it. F. Mary Abraham is, is, he is magic in that show. he's just great man what a great actor and i don't feel like he's aged five minutes since uh amadeus man that guy doesn't get old yeah yeah what's up with that those uh i mean those three guys like it was great casting for those three guys playing grandfather father and son and white lotus the um you know what's his face imperiali michael imperioly from sopranos and yeah it's always good to see him

and the young dude who's you know not the kid from uh a big love but reminded us a lot of of the kid from Big Well. Do we know the kid in this from something else? No, I don't think so. He's very good. Albie, I think it was the character's name. Yeah, there was one scene that was a little awkward, but, you know, what are you going to do? No, sure.

That's a fascinating show, but here's why I like it the most. I think I may have brought this up before. The guy that's the creator, writer, and showrunner is a comedian, former comedian. I don't think he's doing any of that stuff anymore. But the minute you see him, you'll recognize him. He's the weird, squirly little dude. Oh, you're talking about Mike White? Yeah, sitting in George's apartment, working on wigs.

See, that's, I never think of him from that. I think of him from Rock, School of Rock. Oh, I don't remember him. Jack Black. Yeah. Was he in that? I don't remember that. He's a, he's one of Jack Black's best friends or brother or something like that.

Oh, I don't remember that at all. I haven't seen that a long time. It's funny that I, like, as much as I love Seinfeld, I can't remember. Mike White, but... It's very brief. It's a short thing. It's a very funny moment. It's toward the end of the Susan arc with George.

But I love it because both him and Jennifer Coolidge are in Seinfeld. It's like this Seinfeld connection. Yeah. It's kind of cool. Oh, did you see... I don't know if you watch SNL, but... Nope. Not that I don't want to.

I just never do. I don't know why. Yeah. The most recent, well, you know, it's... SNL's becoming one of those things that it's better. for somebody to tell you, hey, there's one segment from the latest Estenelle that's worth watching, and that's about it. But in this case, it was one thing from the latest Estenel that was worth watching.

And let me see if I can find it. It's Chloe Feynman, who is great. Here we go. She's a cast member. She's a cast member. And she's extraordinary at impersonation. She's really, really good at that stuff. So I'm going to give you a link.

I wonder, you can probably play. Well, I don't know. Becromb 73. I promise you Mike White was in Seinfeld. Go look him up. Sorry. Let's see. Did you put in our Discord?

Where is it? I did. I put it in our Discord. There it is. Yeah, you did. Oh, she does it Jennifer Coolidge. Let's see this. She does a brilliant Jennifer Coolidge.

And what's great is the audio listeners, we're going to hear this and think it's exactly Jennifer Coolidge. All right, here we go. Is impressed by Christmas stuff. Hi, I'm Jennifer Coolidge. I love Christmas. Oh, look at this. A big sock full of gifts.

You know, the ultimate stocking stuffer is a foot. Anyway, this was probably the only memorable bit from a very unmemorable recent episode of SNL. She's great. Except for the loss of Cecily Strong. Who was... Oh, yeah, what's her deal? Why'd she leave? She's making that good Verizon money or something.

I don't know. She's, I guess she just had enough with the... It's a horrendous schedule they put those people through and... Yeah, I don't know how they... And it becomes a great launching career for people, and I'm hoping it does for her as well, because her in movies, she'll be great. Yeah.

Oh, I have no doubt. I was actually going to see... Oh, interesting. Okay. You know what? Do I have it wrong that Mike White's not in Seinfeld and I've been submerged? Now I want to know who's in that episode. Who's in that episode?

Yeah, why do I have this wrong? Well, I don't see it now. Damn it. Oh, no. Okay, this all these years, I know. You don't have to give me a link to the guy. I know he's, I know who it is. But I can't find this.

Okay, now I don't know who that was. You know what? I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed. I hate when I find out a thing I've held in my head for years isn't true. I hate it. I hate it. Who is it for real? Can we find out who it was? Okay, quit sending me his profile. Send me. Exactly. I'm the dude who was on Seinfeld. Yeah. Oh yeah. I forgot Mike White was on a whole season of Survivor and he was, it was great watching him because he's so affable and, I mean, he was a contestant, like basically.

Gosh, dang it. Where's, uh, let's see. Oh, there's a picture of him. Okay. Oh, yeah. You know, I can see that. Do you see how I confuse those two? Gosh, dang it.

Brad Hall's changed a lot in the interviewing years. Yeah. He looks like old Brad Hall. Yeah.

I wonder how much, I wonder how much, that's an interesting question, and how much side actors like this get from syndication. Interesting. And like, okay. Do they not? Shojo and Braimbo Bright. They're saying no. Never mind.

They're responding to Luke Sightwalker asking if we're still doing the pre-show. If this is still T.R. Pre-show. Why? Are you wanting us to get to the news? Is that what you're saying? That's fine. This is what you come to see.

Very nice. Claire, try to keep up. Amy's later. I'm kidding. Yeah, I'm not actually annoyed. But she didn't, she didn't hear that part of the beginning of the show. No, no, exactly. She was off refilling her Jen.

Yeah, getting her Jen all done and redocking her switch. Let's get to this. We've got some stories here about Italian things, which is great since I just finished up that season of White Lotus. Italian police used a Lamborghini supercar. I don't think they needed to tell us that. I think it just could have just said Lamborghini. Right.

Exactly. Oh, Lamborghini makes a car now, you say. Yeah. Seems like a weird thing to call it. I mean, of course it's a supercar. It's a Lamborghini for hell sakes. It's very redundant. Anyway, they used one or they adapted one to deliver kidneys to donor patients on Tuesday hundreds of miles apart. So in order to get those kidneys moving, they put it in their supercar. It's like when they flew Phil Collins on the Concord so he could be at Live Aid both at Wembley Stadium. And Philadelphia. I didn't know that. Is that true?

Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Yeah. So that he could perform at both the American and the UK live aides. Well, he was a bit, no wonder he stuttered in studio. He's an easy lover, that Phil Collins. He is a very easy lover.

I can promise you he's an easy lover. Traveling on the motorway to deliver the most beautiful Christmas ever, present ever life. They said in a statement posted on social media, alongside a picture of the medical cool. locks, so that's what they call those things, where they're carrying like a heart or a kidney in it. It's a medical cool box. Because they don't want to call it a Yeti cooler with a lung in it.

No, I think they, you know, they want you to feel the mystery of medical science, you know. Right. Like a little, not a little smoky. Like, there's a term for that one that barely holds a six-pack that everybody has in their garage. Oh, yeah. I hate that one. It's not big enough to do anything. Right, exactly.

It's like, oh, hey, yeah, let me grab, let me give her a couple plastic bottles of a soda to put, oh, they don't fit. Yeah, I don't like those. Not a fan. Little playmate, that's right. It's a little playmate with a kidney in it. Yeah, kidney playmate. It says here, they said the statement.

Oh, they pictured the box here. It was purpose-built compartment in the front of a hurricane, which is the car. Yeah. It's also the way you pronounce hurricane in Utah. Well, it's how you pronounce the town of hurricane. But when we say hurricane, we say hurricane.

I know. Just for those out there that might be a little confused. We have a weird town and it Fs everybody up. Spelled hurricane, pronounced hurricane. Yeah, which is really weird. And when you're down there, don't ever say hurricane. Those people hop all over you. Really?

Are you new here? It's hurricane. Anyway. The organs. A tsunami of trouble. Let's see. Oh, thanks to state police special Father Christmas, it says. Two people received the gift of a kidney, the police wrote.

The organs are driven from Padua, I assume. Padua. It could be Padua. And Italy's northeast, two hospitals in Moderna, Modena. Modena. Medina, yeah. And then Roemi?

I think it's pronounced a Rami. Oh, Rami. Okay, Rami. Yeah, Rami. Yeah, when Rami fell. Rami wasn't built in the, day. We've heard that all a lot of times. Shocker, win rummy, though.

Shaka, when the wall. Arms wide open. Make me want to watch TNG. Police said they hope the two patients and their families will have a happier and more peaceful Christmas, the Lamborghini Hurricane, which was top speed at 330, or sorry, 300, I don't why I said 30, 300 kilometers per mile or per hour. It says KMH, kilom, oh, the M's meters. kilometers per hour.

Got it. Why do they include, isn't kilometers a single word? Kilometers is abbreviated to KM, not just K. Otherwise, it would be potassium. That's right. That card has potassium. That's $400,000 miles an hour.

It gets up to 100 in 3.2 seconds. And it was a 2017 gift to police from a luxury carmaker or from the luxury carmaker known as Lamborghini. It was an Italian kidney job. Bob is what that was. Yeah. You got to watch out for those Italians.

They'll get your kidney one way or the other. We've got a Boulder story, Brian. Bringing it home. Yay, close to home. Hooray for this one. Boulder's main library closed due to high levels of methamphetamine. Yeah. Oh, man.

That's a bummer. Boulder's falling on some hard times lately. Boulder used to be the most highest concentration of, healthy people and marijuana, both in the same place. Oh, interesting. And now it is, there's some rough stuff going on up there. Well, here's what it says. The city of Boulder closed its main library at 1001 Arapaho Avenue on Monday afternoon

for environmental testing after methamphetamine was discovered in the facility's restrooms. Testing will include swab samples of surfaces inside and outside the restrooms. I mean, this is probably one dude, you know. we don't know. It could be, right, sure. It's easy to go, ah, the play, all of boulders covered in math. Right, exactly. Really, it's just some dude named Dewey Decimal.

And they're like, oh, look at the library. Dewey Decimal. Doing meth. The question. The only way to figure out that damn numbering system. I know. It's so lame. The question right now is whether these levels, which are concerned about, are confined

to the exhaust vents in the restrooms or whether the residue has been developed or been deposited on parts of the library that people have more access to. They said the biggest concern for methamphetamine consumption, or contamination, rather, is short bursts like that. And if it's on the surfaces, according to, oh, I learned about a thing yesterday, speaking of that, I never knew. So I didn't understand much about how, you know, Russia will just off people. They don't like, like poison them and stuff. Because Putin's an ass. Shouldn't say out loud of trouble now.

Uncle with the dogs or something, it's been a while. It's always something. Always something. I know that was North Korea, was it? Oh, that was, that's right. That was un. Yes, never mind. But they use similar stuff.

So it's like this little ball of, is it polonium? And it's the size of the, of a grain of artificial coffee sweetener. Like a little tiny pellet, just tiny pellet. But if you ingest that, you become literally radioactive. And anyone you touch and other things that you touch, you spread like dangerous levels. And not in a good, like, Stan. Marvel Comics kind of way. No, very bad way.

Like, I'm going to die in two days kind of way. And you look like a Chernobyl survivor, basically, when you're done. Anyways, they poisoned a couple of dissenting Russians with this thing. And it was just the most gnarly sounding nightmareish scenario. And I'm thinking, if it's that small, I don't want to eat anything. Don't come near me with food. Yeah, I'm just going to start growing and eating my own food, if that's the case. um the uh was that what happened to that guy remember there was the dude on the airplane that Putin didn't like that uh um had mysterious like they he started to feel sick on the airplane and then by the time they got to the airport he was dead or something yeah i think that may have been it well so that and the the brother or the stepbrother of kim jung un also had something where he's in that airport trying to go to he was trying to go to florida

Disneyland world, something. And the North Korean saw that as a... I can't know what the deal was. They saw it as just like offensive that he would go to an American... Try to hide his identity and go to an American... Oh, right. Okay. So some girls run up to him in the airport,

and there's footage of this. These two girls run up and grab his face and then run away. And then he starts to feel sick already, he starts to tell people, I think I'm going to die. He's talking to security at the airport and within minutes he's dead. And it was these two nerve agents that on their own don't do anything. You could smear, you could bathe in one of them and it wouldn't do a thing. You could bathe in the other. As long as they combined like epoxy. Exactly. So they had to come together to be a problem. And so one hand had one on this girl. The

other hand had this on this girl. And she went up there and went on his face and they joined together and that's what killed him. Oh my God. I know. It was nasty. It was nasty. Man, it's this Spycraft show, documentary thing on Netflix. It's really weird. I'm watching something that will easily be next week's recommendal where somebody offs, you know, basically one agent, off's another agent with just by tapping his shoulder,

and he's got like a little needle or something in his hand. He just taps the guy's shoulder as he's, you know, walking through a bus. And the guy later dies, and it's because, Because at that moment, he kind of injected him with something. There was also a thing where that reminds me of the Russian ones, where they used to do cyanide mist or something. I can remember what the deal with. But they basically hit it in a newspaper.

This is like 70s. And they would walk up to whoever they're trying to get. And they'd be just reading their newspaper. And they'd walk up next to the guy. And then fold the newspaper in such a way that they would go, and they'd just blow this dust into the victim's face. And they would just like inhale. all this cyanide and die.

Also, I didn't know ricin, the highly poisonous, deadly ricin, comes from a freaking bean. It's just a bean. Why do I remember that? Was that talked about in Breaking Bad? I want to say it was. I want to say that Walter White explained where ricin came from

to Jesse at some point. He probably did. Now that you're saying it, sounding familiar to me as well. Jesse, it's just a bean. Let's see. Oh, okay. Risen is lected. a carbohydrate binding protein and a highly potent toxic

produced by the seeds of the castor oil plants of castor beans wild man and that stuff science bitch yeah science bitch

um grinder over to grinder let's go to grinder sure oh great let's from Boulder to Grindr let's get to that Grindr news sorry didn't even know her yeah

the big grinder news of the week Grindr cannibal that's a guy who was a cannibal using grinder sure he mutilated an eight, the testicles of Kevin Bacon has been sentenced to life in prison. Now, I know it seems like I just glossed over the name Kevin Bacon. But we'll get to the point here. Mark, you know what's funny? When I glanced at this headline, it caught my eye and it can't be accidental. The first

thing I think I see is Kevin Bacon's sentenced to life in prison. Oh, yeah. Six words of that or seven words of that sentence. Yeah, if you cut that right there. Yep. Yeah. Kevin Bacon, sentenced to life and prison. Or if you go nine, if you go nine words, you get testicles of Kevin Bacon's sentenced to life in prison, which is an even, even more sensational headline. Yeah. And then if you leave the rest, it just says Grindr cannibal who mutilated an eight. If I were the person, like if this were newspaper days, and I was, I was the person doing the headline, I would make sure that when this printed, it printed on two lines. Yeah. And that the second line was Kevin Bacon sentenced to life in prison.

I would use font sizing and spacing to make sure so that that, even though it's the continuation of the headline, that would pull people in. I agree. This is the way, see, you know enough about the paper business. I know, I know these things. Yeah, look at you. I drink and I know things, Scott. You should get a job at, I don't know.

Who's the most link-baited source these days? Who does that the worst in the most right now? Epic times. Are they the ones? You won't believe what, I hate that. that stuff. Or BuzzFeed is pretty bad. Yeah, BuzzFeed does. Even Huff Poe is kind of... You know what annoys me about BuzzFeed?

BuzzFeed has, like, legit journalists, journalisms on staff. Like, they have, like, actual investigative stuff. And then they have this clown show on the front end. Right. Which just is all a bunch of 23 reasons why the 90s made you ugly or whatever. Right. They need to separate. They need to, like, splinter off the legit news source into something.

thing that's not called BuzzFeed. BuzzFeed. So dumb. Anyway, this dude from Michigan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, the testicles. Yeah, he murdered and mutilated and cannibalized a grinder hookup, Kevin Bacon, who has been sentenced to life in prison. Again, the first guy, not Kevin Bacon. He will stay behind bars of no possibility of parole for the murder of the 25-year-old hairstylist named Kevin Bacon.

All right, this is not the actual candidate. Oh, darn it, there goes my six degrees. Apparently this guy, two degrees of the rung Kevin Bacon. Yeah. Also, this is a hilarious article because this article, I've never read anything before in a big block of text that ignores the elephant in the room more than they are. They have, they don't once bring up Kevin Bacon. They never get to the point. They never actually get to the, the, not the actual Kevin Bacon.

Yeah, not to be confused with actor, writer, director, Kevin Bacon. They never do it. They never even acknowledge it. They just say it as if this is a name like Bill Fakerson. Like, they just don't even care. It's basically fake bacon is what it is. Yeah, it's fake bacon. It's faken.

Yeah, it's faken. Let's see. This follows the 53-year-old, aren't they always, pleading guilty to murder and mutilation of a corpse after he allured bacon into a grinder hookup on Christmas Eve 2019. He was convicted of first-degree murder as well as disinternment and mutilation of a dead body. What does that mean? Disinterment. So like, uh, well, you're interned, like, you know, put into a, uh, a coffin or an urn or whatever,

like if they're cremated, interred. Oh, that's interred, not disinternment. Yeah, so what does it mean when he's, see, he was convicted of disinternment. What does that even mean? When you unburry a dead body. Okay, so it's the, it's the opposite of interning. It's disinterning. So does that mean, so anyway, if he killed the guy.

Grape robbing. Yeah, but if he killed the guy on Christmas Eve, he didn't rob the grave, he just killed a guy. You know what I mean? So where did he disintern him from? Seconds. You're going to finish that? I like that. I like that.

I think that's it. I really could go for some more of that fake bacon. Yeah. Let me dig him up again. It's fine. All right, Chad, I know these are real people. And this is like, you know, we're having a little. fun here but i can't help it i can't help it uh court circuit judge matthew stewart ruled that he

understood the consequences of the crime once again not mentioning that this guy's got the name kevin bacon the court finds out if this crime is a cold calculation kevin bacon's death was mark lakansky's design he says uh anyway there's a bunch of other nasty stuff about it um well i'm glad they caught this guy he sounds like domer on the domer fresh domer yeah yeah no kidding so put him get him in jail get him out and It's good we didn't have Dahmer in the time of Grindr because that would have made

That would have made his Can you imagine how much He would have a tool for him Yeah exactly I think I think it would have But also would have been harder than now Like you don't hear

Like serial killings 70s and 80s Yeah Big time bump Like it was a big deal Everybody's killing everybody It felt like And they were doing it in secret

And they're all psychos Now is it Is it because we're so much, we talked about cameras earlier, but we're so much more, I don't know, public, everything's so public now that it's actually harder to be a serial killer? You're like, you can't go away with it. After three grinder, you know, I don't know if you swipe, if you do the same thing with a grinder that you with tender with swiping left,

they'd probably be able to say, oh, all three dead guys swiped left on this Jeffrey Dahmerfella's portrait. Maybe there's a connection. Yeah. Like, just easier to find it. Otherwise, in the 70s, you're walking around, there's no cameras, nobody's checking anything. You don't have background checks for a lot of jobs you'd get. I don't know. I just feel like it's harder today.

I think that's why you just don't hear about serial killers as much. Like, what's the last serial killer you heard of? You know? This guy's close, but he didn't get to do anymore. No, no, you're right. That's a really good point. Yeah, that's wild to me. Final story.

A movie That is the most recent serial killer I've heard of, yes Yeah, Captain Crunch Did it get killed? Oh, you mean the captain himself was a killer? Oh, no, we can't. Serial killer. Yeah, we can't have that

Because then his berries are out. All right, moving on to this story. Oh, yeah, that's that guy, Kevin Bacon's berries. Oops, all berries. Oh, my lord. Oh, we love real people. We know they're real people involved. we love those real people.

That's right. Hey, if you ever saw a movie trailer you thought was misleading, good news, you can now sue over it. Okay? You can do that. How much can I get? Well, let's see.

Phantom Menace looked like it would be really good. It did look like it was going to be better than it was. This is funny because it's all has to do with Anna Diomarmas. Oh, really? She's at the center of this, although I doubt she has anything to say about it. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, movie fans can now sue over misleading trailers,

says a U.S. judge, if they're disappointed, their favorite actor was cut from the film. After appearing in the trailer, they can sue the studio for false advertising, according to a U.S. judge. It's probably get appealed, but it may stick. Two movie buffs say Universal Pictures tricked them into renting the 2019 flick yesterday because the trailer featured actress Anna DiArmus. Peter Michael Rosa, 45 of San Diego, and Connor Wolfie, I don't know if you do the E or not. 39 of Maryland say they forked over four bucks each to watch the, Richard Curtis comedy on Amazon Prime

only to discover that DeArmus had not made the final cut in the class action. So they did they watch it separately? I guess they must have watched it separately as opposed to like, why don't we watch it in the same place? And then we can each, then we can each just chip

in two bucks. You're right. Well, I mean, they're in different states. So maybe they were friends, but maybe not. Maybe this is just... Like film sack, right? Like... Yeah. It's a bit like that, I think. Yeah. It says where is that? Class action suit filed earlier this year. Ledge fans have been led to expect the Cuban No Time to Die Star would feature prominently.

However, they did not receive a movie with the appearance of Diarmus in it, says the suit. Accordingly, such consumers were not provided with any value for their rental or purchase. If I were you, I'd say, well, they sound like creepy stalkers of Anna Diarmus. Kind of, yeah. We really thought we'd see. on the Darmerson. That's right. Now we're going to have to go watch

Blonde again. That's right. I've done seeing her nipples in that Dare Blade Runner movie. You see a whole lot more in blonde. Well, maybe you don't. You see, you just see them a lot.

Oh, you see a frequent. The movie where she's Marilyn Monroe. Yeah, the frequent use of her nipples. Frequent use, their nipples actually get a second billing in the movie poster. Ooh, they get their own trailer? Anna da Armas.

And Anna da Armis is nipples in blonde. Oh, that probably does mean they got their own trailer. That's awesome. Universal, let's see, has asked U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson to throw out the complaint, arguing the trailers are protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees free speech. But in this ruling on Thursday, Wilson rejected the studio's arguments saying trailers are commercial speech and subject to laws around honest advertising. At its core, a trailer is an advertisement designed to sell a movie by providing customers with a preview of the movie, he wrote.

You know what? I kind of agree. Right. So there's, there are two sides to this. It is false advertising to say something's in a movie, just like if you had a product that said, it doesn't contain rhizin. It did contain raisin. But no, like, you know, basically saying, yeah, this, with a great flavor of chocolate, and it doesn't taste like chocolate at all. Right. So that's one side of this, and it makes sense. And I think that's a valid. point. The other side of this is these two guys are creepy for

only renting a movie because they think Anna Darmus is in it and the fact that she's not in it is enough for them to say we did not enjoy the film. We want our money back because Aadermis is not in this film. She never showed up. I mean, they just sitting there like dogs going

when she's showing up, when she's ever did. I don't care about these Beatles crap. When's Anadarmus showing up. Well, the other thing is like, okay, all this is going to do. Here's my prediction. Scott's got a prediction. Get ready for this one.

All this does is add a bunch of tiny microtext disclaimers at the bottom of every trailer. And we're all going to hate it because it's going to be distracting. So the little thing down there is going to say, some actors may or may not appear in the final cut due to whatever. Original footage or early footage shown. It's kind of like game trailers do this, don't they? say like little tiny text at the bottom where they say not actual game footage. Oh yeah, they do. Yeah.

And sometimes they do it as a sales technique to say this is in game footage. Sure. Which is an interesting response to that. But yeah, if you have to like, I guess you don't have to, but this is the way that you get away, this is how you stop getting lawsuits if this goes, you know, if this sticks.

And that's going to annoy us too because I don't want a bunch of text all the time at the bottom. Like someone in the chat I mentioned Suicide Squad where the Joker was primarily featured in the trailer but was in five minutes of the movie of the original one. Is that an example of being misled or is that an artistic choice to tease out a thing? It opens, it opens things up to just being disappointed in a film because the trailer made it look better than it was, right? Because if you allow this because it's purely based on, hey, I want to see Anadarmus, I'm watching, I'm paying for yesterday and bought it. Oh, there's no Onondarmus in it.

It's just like saying, oh, man, I wanted to see more Joker in Suicide Squad because he's in the trailer. So he must be, if he's in 25% of the trailer, he must be in 25% of the movie. It's just, it opens things up to too much gray area where it just becomes based on opinion. Yeah, totally. Yeah. When you get to that point, like the whole thing with you said, a fan of menace looked good in trailer but wasn't good that's that's that's 100% from a legal standpoint that's 100% just your impression of the film exactly your opinion of the film and so they're not going to they're

not going to give you that but they might give you that hey the trailer showed mark hamill but he never showed up yeah but by you know again is that you have to argue that that there's enough justifiable reason that um that mark hamill was the selling point for that film. Just like, all right, how do you justify that Anna Darmus was the selling point to yesterday? Did she, was she presented in the trailer as central to the plot or a main character or something like that? Even then, even then I feel like it's speculation because you're, you're not speculation, but opinion because you're paying to see the movie, I don't know. You have to somehow justify that you're.

paying to see a movie specifically and only because of an actor featured in there and for no other reason that you can say that the rest of that that other 80% was satisfied but the 20% that I wanted to see this actor actress is not is not um satisfied dr calhoun says if she wasn't the selling point they wouldn't have put her in the trailer which is created to sell the film that's not true she was in the film they cut her role because they didn't like it yeah but maybe you know Maybe she says something in the trailer. I'll have to watch the trailer, because I remember seeing yesterday. I'd have to see what she says in the trailer that, you know, the trailer is there to not just show who's in the movie, but also to give you enough of a scenario or a synopsis to interest you in the movie.

Right. But see, and then, but here's the other problem. Okay, so Dr. Cahun replied she was in, but she was in the trailer in all caps. No, I understand that. When trailers come out, production's not done. like your movie's not finished trailers are often I mean I'm about to launch a card game where I know there's going to be some art changes

on some of the cards before I can show them but I'm going to show video of a whole different card I can't help it it's all I have right now and so I'm not saying that that's all they had I'm saying it's entirely possible that creative things change before your movie's ready and trailers go out six seven months before you're done

so I think it's just complicated it's never simple Yeah, and Dr. Calhoun, her use in the trailer, again, I need to see the trailer because I don't know. But her use in the trailer might be just to show a part of a scene that explains the plot of yesterday, explains the synopsis of yesterday so that somebody can be there. Not necessarily because she's on a Darmus. Another character could have said that, and they would have used that segment to give the viewer a synopsis of the plot. yeah it's entirely possible too i mean her star hadn't quite risen by the time that movie came out so it's possible that these guys i mean they're true they're renting a movie it was it was early

well before knives out and and uh yeah i think 2017 was uh blade runner nobody really knew who she was she was great and it but nobody really knew she was anyway it's fascinating we have legal listeners i can't wait for them to pipe in uh we have lawyer listeners who We'll probably give us some better ideas on how this works. Yeah. That'll do it for today's news. We are going to move on and take a break. When we come back from this song break, we'll have Amy here, do a little read this, talk about some books, and some more of your feedback from texts and emails and junk.

So stick around. But first, this song from Brian Ibid. It's from me. Well, technically it's from a band called Slumbering Sun. They have a brand new album, courtesy of us and them. group um they are an austin celtic doom grunge band doom an austin based celtic doom grunge band god i love i love these combinations there's so many like that right so it's like how do you pick out your favorite austin-based

celtic doom grunge band yeah um listen if you like alison chains uh or the band warning or green lung um you're gonna like these but we you know we know alison chains these guys are great. This is the first single from their forthcoming debut album. The song is called Liminal Bridges. Here is Slumbering Sun. I'm going to be able to be. In a moment

frozen in time I could read the lips of the wind and I began to climb Upper stars The world's end Now between the shadow and light In the space behind

These walls In the midst of dawn And twilight chaos Calling as an end It's right to me It's right to me It's right to me It's right to me

Sometimes I'll feel like to me Sometimes I'll feel of a traveler Never at home upon this place Never at home I must think of nothing else thing Sometimes I'll worry that I'll never understand the faith The feel the mystery of you Beautiful for you Death soul and I

Burns in your eyes Beauty for you Dead soul and I Burns in your eyes Free me from the chance of time and space Now when we're about und tortured by the distance that I feel between you being out to bear in the distance that I feel between you being at you bed In every single web Behind our rising lives

The love, the feel The mystery of you Beautiful You Tessel and I Burns in your eyes Beauty for you Deaths

and I Burns in your eyes Beauty for you at night burns in your eyes beautiful you death soul at night burns in your eyes

in the void of your embrace. I'm finding it in my heart To leave this place behind It's right to me Try to me Fly to me Fly to me Fly to me

See if anyone still left alive. I already checked. Everyone is dead. Guys, can we just change the subject? Jaws happens to be one of my favorite movies. Oh, that's clever. I'll leave that the way it is. The Morning Stream.

Do not confuse luck with skills. turned. Give us a reminder who that was, please. That, uh, that voice you just heard was, uh, Scott Fletcher, uh, oh, that, I'm sorry. So Scott Fletcher is the one person I'm worried about not wanting to come back to do Taskmaster. Oh, yeah, he seemed annoyed the whole time. He really did. He seemed so, like, he's not one for games. He's not being told the rules to. He's like, oh, okay. What do you do on here? You know, he's such a, such a, such a, the dude is such a fan of jocularity that, uh, anyway.

That band was A Slumbering Sun from their upcoming album called The Ever Living Fire, which comes out next year. Next year's in three days, people. You can wait. That's a song called Liminal Bridges. Nice. It's a great name, too. I like that.

Yeah. All right. We got Amy. Claire really wants to do Taskmaster. What do you think? I don't know. Liminal Bridges is a book in the Elder Scrolls. That's where they came from.

That's cool. Oh, it is? Yeah. Liminal Bridges? The Books of Skyrim, Five. Liminal Bridges. I was wondering where that came from. I had no idea.

That's awesome. I played a lot of Skyrim, and I don't remember that. So a Skyrim influenced Austin-based Celtic Doom Grunge band. Yeah. It's like you all asked for. Now this, right here. Hey, it's two times in one weaker. Red Fragel, I.A. Amy, joining us for Read This.

Hi, Amy. How are you? Hi. I'm doing great. How are you guys? guys. Good. Good. You and Czech recovering from your various part removals? Yes. Yes. Remarkably well. Although I do have a funny story around that. And so, you know, whenever you go under general anesthesia, they tell you, make sure that you have a responsible adult with you for the next 24 hours. Sure. You know, and you kind of figure, okay, mostly that's just to make sure there's no emergencies. Like, if, you know, somebody's there that can call 911, et cetera, et cetera.

And that's not the only reason. Sometimes when you're completely high because you're still coming out of anesthesia, you can maybe purchase some things that you don't necessarily intend to. Oh, gosh. Did you buy a squatipotamus? What happened? Oh, no, I got a squatty potomist for Christmas. You really did?

I really did. My niece is just that funny because when I told her that she immediately turned around and got my got me a squatty potomist for Christmas. Hey, listen, I know people who swear by those things. So, you know, let me know off air how, how if it works for you. Yeah, I mean, I find it helpful. Now, I'm just going to say. Anyway, sorry. Oh, back to, yes.

So the day after Chuck's surgery, we wake up the next morning. and he's checking his email, you know, looking at his phone, as you do. And he goes, oh, God, I bought a steam deck. Nice. Wow. What? That's not a small. That's not some trinkin on Amazon.

That's a big deal. That's considerable, yeah. He had bought me one for my birthday, and he gave it to me a little bit early because of, you know, he wanted me to have it. So I'd be able to play with it while I was recovering from my surgery. and such. And I have been pretty much playing it nonstop. And he's, he loves it. He thinks it's really cool. And he's like, man, I want one of those things. And, uh, but it just kind of went on to the mental list of, okay, I'll, I'll put that on my wish list for later. Nope. Apparently, uh, post-anesthesia Chuck decided that he deserved a steam deck right then.

Wow. Wow. So, uh, yeah, his, his steam deck, I think should be arriving today. that's amazing you know what there that's that's a good you know Ambienesque I know wasn't Ambien but that's kind of where you hear about this most of the time are people doing stuff like this on Ambien but that's a good Ambienesque purchase yeah it's fine you won't be disappointed no he's gonna love it and also I love I love mine I gotta say I'm I'm really digging it your your timing's excellent though because you know when I bought when I ordered mine I had to wait a year I was on a waiting list right right now people are getting them in like four days which is which is great but anyway that's awesome

congratulations to to him on his high purchase yeah so just a just a little PSA you know you might if you're if you or your spouse or partner whatever if you're responsible for a person who is having surgery you might want to yeah just monitor them and their phone usage a little bit there just make sure they don't spend money that they're not intending to spend Wait till he gets his steam deck, fires it up, and he looks in his library, and he also managed to purchase every Japanese dating sim that does a little on Steam. All those porn puzzle games. How do you whole boyfriend?

Why am I playing a pigeon dating another pigeon? We'll get Wifu Battle 3 will end up on there, and you won't know why. So let me... Is that available? Because I kind of want to see that. Probably. There's so many dirty games on Steam. I was going to mention something to you

And I forgot, oh, I know what it was. So I've long held this belief that if I go into a doctor or a surgeon and I have something taken from me, that I should get to keep it in a bottle or something. So I always wanted, like when I go to the dentist, if they take a tooth out or an old crown or something, I want to keep it. If I go to the doctor, I want to keep whatever they take. But they've never given me what I've asked for when it came to like surgeries. They wouldn't let me have my appendix. I wanted it in a little bottle.

only wouldn't do it. I think we should be allowed to take our own shit home. It came out of my body. It's mine. Exactly. I brought it here. I should get to take it home with me. Remember Viking last?

She kept a gallbladder in a jar that, uh, wasn't it named Galberg or something like that? Yeah, she gave it a cool name. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I want that. And some chat says rightly, they call that stuff medical waste. I get it, Captain Kipper, but I want my, it's my medical waste, damn it. Yeah.

Waste to you guys, maybe. It's certainly not as though they are paying you for it, for whatever. Like, you are paying them. Right. So you should definitely. You should get it. Yeah. I don't think.

Look, there are very few things you actually own in this world. All of it's artificial and goes away the minute you die. The bits of me that grew out of me, those are mine. Right. Not yours. They're not the landfills or wherever the stuff goes. I don't know where it goes. Right away.

Big congratulations to, Dice Tomato, who not only, only found Ultimate Wifu Battle Online, a tower defense game on Steam. Yeah. But right now, it's 69% off. Nice. Nice. I made that up. Is that really a title?

That's crazy. Really a title. Really a game. Doesn't surprise me. They have so much stuff like that. Somebody gifted me a copy of Sex with Hitler 2. It was so good they had to make a sequel. Yeah, there's a sequel.

Oh, we have so much stuff we really wanted to do on the first Sex with Hitler game that We just didn't have the technology for it. Yeah. And now. Let's see if I can find the description on this. You guys will enjoy this. Here it is. Sex with Hitler.

This is two. Sex with Hitler is a unique blend of visual novel and top-down shooter. You'll fight in the fields of World War II and meet unique heroines among whom you might find friends and enemies. Boy, that's a real light way of putting it. If you go look at the screenshots, you're really going to be in for it, don't. I recommend not looking at those unless you want to look at those, I guess. Anyway, Steam. It's great. Let's talk about books. Let's talk about books. When you're not playing on your Steam deck, you're reading a damn book. And we probably wanted to talk about those. What do you bring into us this week? What's going on? That is true. Yes. So I actually very much enjoyed listening to this audiobook while I was recovering. And it's an awesome book. I love it. I will say, just to set up the clip a little bit, I don't know what's up with my audio recording stuff, but the clip sounds, the clip does not sound as though it would sound

if you listened to it on Audible. I'll just put it that way. There seems to be a lot of background noise and some echo and stuff. I couldn't get that out of it. I don't know what, but that's me. That's not the audio book. Maybe it's there, they get some DRM or something that makes it sound bad when you record it or something to stop people from recording it.

I don't know. Maybe that's it. Maybe. Maybe, yeah. Anyway, who knows? Anyway, I'll play it, and we'll find out for ourselves. Here we go. Kneeling on the floor of their suite, Tesla crane could just feel the vibrations of the centrifugal ring

as it rotated around the interplanetary cruise ship, Lindgren. Or more likely, it was the hum of the air conditioning. The Taryn level ring was big enough that even the Coriolis effect was really only noticeable when throwing things. Gimlet, fetch! She threw a chew toy for her Westie, and the little dog charged in the turn. direction the plush sloth had started to go. It curved in the air, leaving the small white dog staring in baffled confusion for a moment before she found it, and pounced with enormous ferocity. Tesla used the reprieve to return to stretching. She put her hands on the floor, and her new

wedding ring caught her eye with the gleam of platinum meridium, just like the historic kilogram standard, because her spouse knew she was a nerd. Smiling, she lowered her back into the cow position, feeling for twinges as she raised her head. The ceiling had a digital sky shading to an earth sunset. The simulated clouds changed shape and position in subtle response to an artificial wind. Not bad for a honeymoon. You know what I'll say? The echo actually made it sound like a ship's computer was reading this to me.

I kind of liked it. Yeah. Yeah. I got that too, but I just wanted to make it clear that if you... The actual book does not sound like it was recorded in a bathroom. Correct. Yes. And I didn't record it. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. Audacity was just, yeah, not agreeing with me this morning. So, anyway. The audacity of it all. I know. So it sounds like some real science fiction going on here, which I'm always into. I have no idea who that is, though. What's the book? Yes.

So this is called The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal. And it is, indeed, it is science fiction. It is also a murder mystery. And as a bonus, it takes place on an interplanetary cruise ship, and each chapter starts with a cocktail recipe. So it's really fun, yes. And yes, Dreadnecks, she did write the Lady Astronaut series. This is in sort of the same universe as same timeline. as the Lady Astronauts, but there aren't any of your familiar characters in there.

But this is written and also the audiobook is read, performed by Mary Robinette. And it's excellent. And her, as you heard, her voice is very pleasing. She does an excellent job of doing the narration and giving each of the characters a distinct voice. And yeah, she's great. I love her writing style. I love all of it. And she's very good at writing sort of a mystery, kind of a who done it, and also including enough of the science fiction that makes it relevant.

It's not just that it's set in space. It's the, she mentions the Taryn level. This ship has multiple levels and the gravity differs based on what level of the ship you're on. That's a cool construct. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So, like, there's a, there's a lunar level and there's an Earth, there's a Terran level, which is Earth. And then there's like a Mars level. And there's a bunch of different levels on the ship. And that becomes relevant to the plot. It's really, really interesting. It's also very, I will say this. If you're a person who is a, if you are. There's more. Yes. Sorry. If you are a person who has issue with, uh, diversity and and you feel like, you know, roll your eyes at diversity being our inclusive language. This book is not for you. She, she does a lot of things like referring to people as

mix instead of miss or mister, you know, pretty much everyone is them until, or, you know, everyone is they them until otherwise. Everyone introduces themselves as a gender. Like, you know, she'll say Tesla crane, she her, you know, that kind of thing. So it's very inclusive. Also, the main character, Tesla is disabled. And so there's, and there's a lot of really cool tech around her disability. She has a, she has a device that sort of gives her a heads up display of what her pain level is currently without her having to actually feel the pain. It's cool.

I'm like, I want that. I want that too. Because, yeah, I mean, that's, pain is our body's way of telling us, it's an alarm system, right? And so if you could just have that alarm system without having to feel the pain, that'd be really cool. Yeah. No, I agree. I would love to be. Like, you hear about these people that can't feel any pain.

It's actually dangerous. They can cut themselves and never know. Like, it's like bad. Burn themselves because they can't feel. But if you have other signals that would tell you, it's like, oh, yeah, you just burned your arm. Probably want to get that taken care, but not actually feel the pain. That'd be great. Right.

By the way, thanks for the Coriolis callback. We've had the Coriolis effect keeps coming up on the show like four times now. It's great. People really want us to make sure we get that right going forward. No doubt. So if you had to, if you, I know you've talked about her books before, and you mentioned that a minute ago, do you, where's this on that list? Like, do you have a favorite of hers that you would like.

Oh, huh. Interesting. Yeah, I mean, I love all of her stuff, but I would say probably the faded sky was the most impactful and affecting so far. But yeah, I've read, this is her fourth book in the Lady Astronaut series that I've read. And I've loved all of them. But I would say if I had to pick a favorite of that series, I would say the faded sky. Okay.

And we talked about that one, I think, right? That came up here. Possibly. Yeah, I think so. That's the one where they go to Mars. Yeah, I think you did recommend that if I remember right. Well, awesome. More and more I'm starting to think I need to read.

her you keep recommending her and I'm like oh that's interesting and then I kind of don't think about it but now you know anybody need to check it out yeah this is her newest one like this one came out this year and I was really excited to to read it so that's why it came out and I know on the I know on my feedback somebody was like uh stop doing repeat authors no I I'm gonna keep doing I'm gonna keep doing repeat authors because I read I read what I read but uh you know this one in particular really got me and I was like yeah yeah I got to read her new book. So I will,

but I do take the feedback seriously and I am going to get some more. I have a whole list. I'm going to get you some more lesser known titles and authors coming up in the new year. So just tease that out a little bit. Nice. And this one's called what again? So people can go look it up, the title. This one is called the spare man.

The spare man. Everyone needs a spare man, I say. Except, except Chuck, he had a spare man and had it removed. Right. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Well, anyway, there you go. Oh, and people are jealous of my hats.

I just wanted to share that with you. There are, we had multiple people come by the house and say, where the heck did you get that? And I said, oh, a friend made it. And they said, no way. That's awesome. And I said, oh, here it is right here. Yeah. And I say it's $1,800, try my product.

All right. Hey, Amy. It's good having you on, as always. And we'll look forward to more in the new year. Anything else you want to mention before we go? Yeah, I'm so glad that you guys liked them, and I'm glad they finally arrived and everything and Brian that yours got there safely and mod in pieces. So, yeah, it is beautifully holding my frequently enjoyed atomic fireballs. Nice. A new atomic fireball bowl and the year's not even over. It's amazing.

Exactly. Incredible stuff. Amy, have a fantastic rest of your week and the rest of the holidays. and the early part of next year and we'll see you next year right here on have a nappy you here bye now oh i'd love a nap i would love nap i would love napy new here you here yeah new here you here you here check this out y'all yes got a couple of texts here to read here okay let's see where are they that's the wrong clip thing where did my thing go oh there it is okay here it is uh this is a text from Teresa in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This was last week, TMS news item caught my attention because I was in Minneapolis. It was a story about a place selling crustless sandwiches called The Gallant Tiger.

I think this is Bobby's episode he was on. Oh, okay. This doesn't sound familiar to me. Yeah, he says, which also caught my ear because I am a graduate of Minneapolis South High School. And we are all called the Gallant Tigers. What really ticked or tickled me, not ticked. What really tickled me was that Scott pronounced it like a former principal that was at South when my son was a student there, the galliant tiger with an eye. It doesn't have an

eye. My husband, also a South High Tiger, also, sorry, and I looked up the restaurant, and sure enough, the owner also went to South. Thanks for bringing back fun memories, Teresa. Well, that's a big high school connection for you there. That's great. No kidding. It's great. Yeah, yeah. It's really cold there. What's funny is you even, again, called it the galliant tigers instead of the gallant tigers. I can't help it. Yeah. It's just in me. You want, you're combining, I mean, galliant or gallant and valiant. Yeah. Are very similar in, in, um, meaning. So, why not combine them? Why not have Prince Gallant? Yeah, why not both? Why not both? Except that cartoon sucked. I never liked that. It was too serious. I wanted, you know. Prince Valiant. Yes, it was the worst, it was the worst comic

strip. Never funny. Never. I didn't ever think it was funny either. I'm glad someone was me. Where's the punchline, Prince Valiant? Yeah, where's the joke in your freaking realistic, dumb history thing? Here's an email. This game to us at the morning stream at gmail.com. It's a little long, but I'm going to read it. It says, hey, there, Scott and Brian. I was going to try to keep this as brief as I can, listening to Brian's recent car debacle on TMS. Prompted me to reach out. So my car was stolen out of the driveway on 1222. Geez. And recovered on 12-4. All smashed up. Now here's the thing, guys. I don't know if you have heard about or covered this issue, but I'm about to tell you

about what I'm about to tell you that if you haven't, please do. More people need to know, apparently. There's a TikTok video from months ago circulating the web, exploiting a massive design flaw in specific yeard Hyundai's and Kia's. To be clear, my car was a 2019 Hyundai-A-Lantra. In this video, somebody is shown starting one of these cars using an iPhone cable. There's more detail on how it works but I want to move on he says I kind of want to know how that works anyway because of he says because of this tic-tock video there's a nationwide shortage on parts to fix these cars since 12-5 I have been on an actual journey and I've learned a lot here in philadelphia where I live I learned that police have no chase laws so thieves have

become way more brazen and auto theft here is through the roof what the Hyundai what the Hyundai done what what's what the Hyundai done you might ask Yeah. I think, no, what has Hyundai done? You might have said. Oh, you know, that's just me reading bad. Then he goes on. What the Hyundai? I was like, is he trying to make it into a swear word or something? Anyway, it says nothing. Insurance companies, law enforcement, impound lots and car dealers are all overwhelmed and ill-equipped right now because of this issue. So many of these people are going through their lot. Sorry, through this, a lot of them have been waiting months for parts with no end in sight. Add insult to injury. These thieves stealing the cars are posting TikTok videos of themselves. in stolen cars, racing them, crashing them, et cetera. One of these groups posting the videos called themselves the Kia boys with a Z. I hate that. I hate that so much.

I hate it. Oh my gosh, I hate it so much. There's everything about this I hate. Yeah, I don't like any of this. And nobody is doing anything to stop it at all. My story ends on 1222 and my car was declared a loss, which was a huge relief for me and my family. I got very lucky.

That means he got the insurance, so that's good. Yeah. Odd to say that about a car I invested and took care of for three years, but the alternative was the endless nightmare of waiting indefinitely for my car to be fixed, much like what Brian went through. Oh, and my car's lease was up in three months. When was the car stolen? I had an appointment the next day to discuss the end of my term options.

Thank you for talking. Sorry, thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you and Brian and the rest of the film sack crew and family, have a wonderful, safe new year. Seriously, you guys are the best. So this came to the TMS email, not the film sack email, but maybe he meant it for that. I don't know. anyway Matt from Philly well Matt from Philly that sucks also I hadn't heard about any of this

TikTok business and I didn't know I mean Brian I don't know if you can find out but is your car susceptible to some weird iPhone cable thing that I don't know and somebody else like when they found out I had a key of soul they said hey you know about the um the the iPhone cable getting into the lock and starting the car thing and uh I looked I did a search and and not only came on out find it, but I'm sure it really effed up my algorithm because now I've got people, basically it's long string of videos about people

hating their Kia Soul. Oh, really? Why Kia Soul is the worst car ever, and none of it mentions the USB iPhone cable thing. Wow. So, yeah, if somebody has a link to it is not,

my car is not push button start, dubious rascal. It's a 2014, so it might be out of the the bottle year for these issues. I don't know. Yeah, who knows? I'm looking at their, they have a YouTube channel.

It ties to me that says, The Soul is susceptible. Yes, it's a USB connection hack behind the ignition switch on the steering column. Really? Jeez.

That's terrible. That's too easy. Oh, there's tons of these videos. Holy schmoo. Did you find them? Because I didn't, I did a search for...

Yeah, I found a collection on YouTube. Here, I'll put it in the chat. YouTube, okay. Yeah, so they're collecting them there, and they're up on their shorts on there, but also some longer-form stuff. But basically, this is a, I mean, there's some, let's see, warning all Kia and Hyundai owners. I think this channel might be.

These buttheads of the Keoghoy's even have a USB in their logo. Oh, and they've just stolen the logo from the TV series, The Boys, and just added a Kia logo to it. Yeah, it's dirty pastures. dirty bastards well anyway that's all very odd I don't like it but good luck

This came from an album that John Fogarty put out 2013 called wrote a song for everyone and in it he has a bunch of different guests like foo fighters Miranda Lambert Tom Morello um a lot of a lot of great musicians and he pulls them in to do covers of Creedon's Clearwater revival songs um this one's great bad moon rising featuring

I thought maybe we'd take one day. I don't know. Let's take one day. I'm going to sign the petition that we take a day off. That's so far two out of two. Oh, it's 100%. We've done it. We're not here that Monday.

Okay, everybody? That morning I'm going to lunch or breakfast with my kids. But after that, It's all back to Norms and 2023 just bearing down like a big giant hairy monkey. So look forward to that. Thanks for being here. And we'll see you next time. I've seen the bad mood arising.
