Hello and greetings and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Wednesday, January 25th, 2022. I'm three. Gosh, dang it. 2023. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian. Hi, Brian.

Hello. I'm dead. Oh, darn it. I'm Brian. Oh, dang it. I messed up too. Oh. Well, at least I feel some solidarity with your goof up.

You know, because we're both messed up. Anyway, hey, everybody, we hope you're well, and welcome to a Wednesday edition of the show. It is, you know, midweek, so that means things. That means some stuff. Yeah, yeah. There's a lot going on. This is our big full show of the week. Like, this is the busiest show of the week.

Yeah, I think so. We save it all for midweek, and I don't know why we do that, but we do. And it's all fine. I did notice this, though, this morning, get up, walking to the living room, and there's a pillow torn to shreds in the living room there. Oh, no. Yeah, and I look around and I notice it's Rainer's doing, and I don't know why.

She's never done this before, ever. Yeah. So was there something in the pillow? Was there some pent-up rage that finally reached a crescendo, and she let it lose? I don't freaking know what happened. Wasn't the cat, though. The typical video where it's like,

it shows the person walking into the room and then they see feathers on the ground. and then they come closer and all of a sudden they see the pillow torn of shreds and then they pan around the room at all the devastation and there looking nervously at the camera is the dog Yeah, I would have hoped for one of those

but she was in her kennel by then and she was asleep and all this So I don't know, she's the only animal that had access during the time it happened So I know it was her But what the hell man I give her all kinds of time I snuggle with her all the different times

of the day I take her on walks I feed her well. She's a happy dog. What happened? And that was your special Japanese anime girl happy pillow, wasn't it? Right. It was the one I cuddle each night and have a buddy pillow that. Yeah.

That's how I get out my adolescent needs, if you know what I'm saying. Anyway. Why is this part of the pillow really crusty? What's up with that? I don't get it. Anyway, stupid cat or stupid dog does stupid things as that's where we're at. I got a weird nap dream. I need to share this and ask about it.

Okay. please do um i shared a little bit on twitter although i didn't attribute it to the dream on twitter but i'll i'll just explain so okay um in my dream infinite universe i've been watching our universe on netflix this excellent documentary with uh morgan freeman narrating it's really good and it's basically like they have a really interesting tack on this they go here's a huge mega giant thing that happens in the universe like black holes or the big bang or uh far long universes or Earth-like planet, whatever, like big scale, multi-billioneer kind of thinking. And then they zoom down for part of the documentary on like a bear cub or how a wolf survives

in the summer and winter, like some kind of weird right on the ground naturey thing, like a monkey or an ape or something. And then they spend that episode kind of going back and forth and they tie them together really well. It's really good, but it has a way of making your brain kind of explode. this show and really like broadening your horizons so i've been really enjoying it i'm on like episode three or something and uh anyway they got talking or he got talking about infinite universes and what that implies and so i have this dream last night about infinite universes and i found in

the dream we found an earth where everything was identical as it is here yeah i exist you exist everybody exists exactly the way they exist. We live in the same way that we live with one exception. The clothing in that planet, instead of the way we do it, their clothes cover everything except for people's private parts. Even face, like basically, like, all that's exposed are. Yes, faces, heads and hands. So boobs and groinels zones are all out for display on everyone. Bikini area?

Yeah, your bikini area. And that was the one societal difference in this place. And it was just like this walk-around dream of like, oh, hello, how are you? And there'd be a people covered in. Right, everything was like normal in that. Yeah, it's that about. What is that about? You know, well, I know what it's about.

I don't know. I don't know, but you just completely spoil. build my plans for TMS Vegas Testmaster. Damn it, Scott. That's too bad. Actually, I appreciate the fair warning now that we know what it's going to be. Oh, you know, Brian, I'm not feeling very well. I don't know if I can

make it to Vegas today. I'm not sure I'm going to make it to Vegas, Brian. You got this on your own? Yeah. Good look, Bobby. I don't think that's going to happen. Anyway, that was a thing and I sorely regret it. Also, I got so to add to the mystery, we got a text that we need to make quick sense of before we play Babel Royale today.

here's what it says I wrote help that wasn't part of it someone someone named Carlos send us a text that says this simply Hey Scott and Brian spell with the Y Alright you okay with that or I'm fine with it

It's not the worst thing It's not the worst way my name has been spelled That's true Done away yesterday we had one like that for him And he said well at least it doesn't At least it's not brain Because he hates it and people type brain Oh that our request yesterday

The TMS, the request for the final song was all brains all the time oh that's fantastic that's just people type in too fast when i had my little elementary school valentine's box that i made with a shoebox and a hole cut in the top of it invariably two-thirds of the valentines i would get would be addressed to brain oh i love that you should keep some of those you have some of those laying around no i don't keep a damn one i think i might have a few of my old ones do you really if you're old like those old valentines should bring those out and read them on the show sometime. Anyway, this is what the thing says. It's really weird. Hey, Scott and Brian. Brian.

What's with the fang? F-A-N-G, question mark. What's with the fang? Carlos. That's it. That's it. What's with the fang? Do you guys have any idea in the chat or Brian or anyone within the sound of my voice know what the frick Carlos is referring to? Yeah. Do I have a fang? I don't have fangs. You don't have fangs? I don't have fangs. I don't have fangs. I mean, we both have incisors, but I wouldn't call them fangs. What's with the best fang? What's with the fang? I don't know. Chat says, you drew something with a fang? Well, yeah, but why would they text us for the show?

And this guy, no, okay, here's one thing. It does say Scott and Brian. This could be for, done away and play retro. For all I know, I don't know. I just always assume when it says, hey, Scott and Brian, I always assume it's us, but I don't, but I could be wrong. Sure. So that's one thing to keep in mind. But then I, you know, I thought about that.

There's nothing I did there with a fang. Yeah. No, I don't know. That really doesn't make any sense. All right, well, Carlos, if you've got more information, we'd love to get it. Please. Yeah. Well, you don't leave us hanging, dude.

Are you, is your text? Sorry, that's me. Does your text do you pay per letter? Because if not, maybe give us a little bit more. Yeah. Just a little. We're not asking for a lot. Just a little description.

In fact, right here in your original text, you could have given us a little more info just right there, you know? Yeah, Dunaway says he has a fang tooth, by the way. Is that what it is? Maybe. Maybe that is for him. Okay, now we've, you know what? This is why you do the good detective work. We try to do good detective work, and sometimes we fail, and it's fine. See, we knew in that first episode of Filmsack that sooner or later, somebody would get confused,

between the two brian's and uh yeah uh and i think we just need to go back to calling me bibby that's right thanks a lot thanks a lot carlos you've ruined it for everybody now damn damn damn damn bibby hey look at this it's time for babble royale uh had poolie feud edition with brian done away is joining us on the line hi brine oh hi scott and what's his face hi you guys Hi fang Yeah, hi fang Do you have a fang?

I don't remember seeing fang on you I guess you do Yeah, yeah I have a I have a tooth That is You know It's the the fang tooth

It's up a little higher On the right hand side Yeah Than the other Right Yeah A little canine tooth Yeah

All right And yeah Yeah You can see it Occasionally I don't like flash it You may notice That I probably don't

You know like go Big cheesy smile Just probably from my childhood I've had it forever. Yeah. Well, it looks... Now, I can't picture it still, but I'm sure it looks fine, you know?

It looks fine because I usually don't show it. I usually don't pull my lip up and go, look at it. Yeah. Look at my fang tooth. You don't want people to know about your... Are you still looking at it? Your vampiric tendencies.

My eyes are up here. That's right. It's right. All right, we are going to take the third. No, you know what? Let's do fourth. Just think of a good number. A fourth person.

Fourth person to DMV. me on Discord will be added to this call. And right now we've got a couple going in. I got one, we got two, there's three. Oh, who will be number four? More, more, more.

Oh, man, I think we have our fourth. Let's see if we can add them to the show. Yep, here we go. Looks like it's going to be. Oh, it's Wind Magus. Wind Magis. Wind Magis, welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us.

How are you? Well, hello, everyone. Hi, it's nice to have you on the show. You were number four. How do you feel about that? I don't know if I'll ever recover. You tell them number four, what can you tell us the phrase that pays for $100? That's right.

It's good to have you here, man. We're going to play this game. Brian Abbott's going to explain the rules with his why in the middle of his name. And then once we do, we'll figure out what prizes you could win. Brian, take it away. Okay, Scott, I shall. It's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics.

and Scott and Drekeway will have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Fang's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. When you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian, if your team wins, you'll get a prize package. That includes, appropriately enough, from Wesley, tooth and tail and war stock. We tried to give these away on Monday, the person that won them already had them. So they put back into the pot. So tooth and tail.

of the story of Brian Dunaway and Warsaw. Yeah, that's a great game, Tooth and Tales. The story of Scott. Yeah. Tooth and Tales like this really hard game, but it's super cute at the same time, and I think that's part of what makes it work. It's very cool. I haven't played Warsaw, though.

I'm sure that's nice and dark and gritty. So, Windmagus, I don't know if I've asked you this before, but did you pick Windmagus because it's one of the cards in that Eye of Judgment game for the PlayStation 3? Oh, no. I've played card games forever, but honestly, Megas is the base one, and that one is just a character in Chrono Trigger that I thought was always really cool. Gotcha. Very nice. When I was packaging that thing up, I sold it on eBay for like 80 bucks. Yeah.

All those I have judgment pieces. And I saw the Windmagus card. I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot there was a Windmagus card in here. I should have saved it for you, but oh, well. Oh, well. Yeah, we probably shouldn't have talked about how many card games I've played. before. Wouldn't be good for him. Gotcha.

All right. Well, let's give you guys your topic and let's see how you do. I'll read the abbreviated version of the question, but then I'm going to tell you exactly what I told the tadpole. So, hands on buzzers. Here's, we had 510 responses to this from the tadpool. Two people said pass. Here's a question.

If you had to eat the food from. just one fast food restaurant. Wow, Brian. He said food and fast food. That's all I need to know. Okay. I'm going with McDonald's. Mm, with McDonald's.

All right. Show me without hearing even the rest of the question. Let's see if he's predicted correctly. Show me McDonald's. Number two answer on the board. I will finish the question. Yeah, let's hear the whole thing. If you had to eat the food from just one fast food restaurant for the rest of your life,

which one would it be? Okay, I kind of thought we were going there. If it isn't McDonald's, by the way, here's the full question that I asked the tadpole. If you had to eat the food from just one fast food restaurant for the rest of your life, which one would it be? Yes, we know you want to say none of them, but that's a cop-out. And if you do that, know that we will figure out who you are

and force every member of your family to answer this very same question. Nice. Good. And two people still set to ass. I got that same email yesterday. Sweet. Yeah. Two people still playing with fire out there. That's right. All right, Scott.

What fast food would the Tadpool eat over McDonald's? Probably Taco Bell. It was number one if I had a guess. So let's take, let's say the Taco Bell. Only on Tuesdays. Show me the runs at the border. Yeah. Number one answer.

Scott has control of the board and control of Windmack. I rolled the dice and I crapped out. I finally control WinMegas. It's my goal to control him. you have control of Winn-Megas? When-Megas, what is your- What happens if you eat too much Taco Bell?

Oh, yeah, no, we all, yeah. Right. Yeah, we all know. Every day for the rest of your life, at least, I can't understand Taco Bell, though. That is such a weird answer. I mean, it's the same food.

Yeah, at least McDonald's. I could get nuggets one day, a burger. They actually have salads occasionally. You can get a taco salad at Taco Bell. You can get a Mexican pizza at Taco Bell. You can get a... It's all the same. It used to be able to get a burger or whatever they called it,

which was just a sloppy Joe. Yeah. I forgot they did that. They should bring that back. I never tried it. The beefy Belgronde or something, beefy. I never tried it. I kind of want to try it.

Sounds like something that I would love to put in my mouth hole. All right. WinMegis, anything jumping out at you, top of your head business here? Honestly, I'm kind of curious where the tab pool draws the line at fat food. But easy answer for me would probably be Wendy's. Yeah, I like Wendy's too.

I like Wendy's as an answer. I've had some, my life's experience with Wendy's is a mixed one, but at the moment I'm having, I'm okay with Wendy's at the moment. Because our local one's been treating me pretty good, but I'll never forget that dirt or that footmark in the burger day, way back in the day. This is years ago, like 2005. It's got pretty good baked potatoes, too. Yeah, they got baked potatoes and they got the chili and the whatnot. Yeah, it's good. Sure.

Yeah, the big potatoes, and they even have the deal now where it's like, what, four or five bucks, and you can get a small burger for chicken nuggets, fries and a drink or something like that. Yeah, it's like five bucks, which is a really good deal for DoorDash because they don't have extra fees, so you'll pay pretty close to just that plus tip. Get out, really? Oh, that's crazy. Yeah, so Kim and I order like two of those once in a while. No, Taco Bell does not have ice cream, but you know what? McDonald's rarely does either. it's true it's also not real ice cream at least you would get the occasional surprise no really you got it

today what yeah today is shake day all right let's get to this one you guys said wendy's let's see if wendy's up there show me those old-fashioned hainburgers yep there's square this old fashion but where's the beef yeah where is the beef uh very good okay i'm gonna a lot of points but you're you're doing well yeah yeah we're just building out the list here i suppose I'm going to go with when Magus is right about where they draw the line, because that's where it's going to get fishy.

Let's throw Burger King in there because Burger King's got to be in there somewhere. Sure. All right. No, what's eaten at Burger King? Show us that creepy king. That's actually the most recent fast food place I've eaten, by the way. The creepy king?

The creepy king. Yeah, number eight. Yeah, well, I was outlifting on Saturday. I needed lunch, and I was just kind of in the mood for a Wopper Jr. with cheese and onion rings. And onion rings are like, you know, they're not, they're not great. Like, they're not, they're very good for what they are. But they're basically chopped up onions frozen into ring shapes and then battered up fried as opposed to actual rings of onion. I agree. They're, they're...

Would you prefer if they called them king rings? Would you like that better? I'm surprised they don't, actually. Now that you say that, it feels like a missed opportunity. You can hire me anytime you're ready, Burger King. I got you. All right. Got your back. Well, there's some good points for you. Eight points for that one.

There are six answers still up on the board. Yeah, pressure's on, done away. And also, I like a whopper here and there. So don't judge me. Also, I think their fries are pretty good. All right. Moving on here. Wrong.

Eat a butthole. Okay, let's go. Hey, when, Megas, how do you feel? You just did if you ate Burger King fries. How do you feel about, um, I mean, I mean, Chick-fil-A is really popular. It probably counts. Probably on here, don't you think?

Yeah, Chick-fil-A's good. All right, Chick-fil-A, let's get our chicken on. All right, show us those bastards at Chick-fil-A. Number five. Nice. And then the other night, it was real good, except I don't like how most of their stuff doesn't come with things on it. You have to kind of tell them.

So it's like, would you like two pieces of bread with a piece of chicken in the middle? Because that's basically what it is. And I'm like, yeah, but I'd like other things, too. And you have to kind of specify, and it bugs me. I would like extra pickles. Do they even do a pickle? Like, is it, if you don't ask for anything else, will they do two pieces of bread, a piece of chicken in the middle, and a pickle? I think so.

And a little. You get a pickle and a half if you don't ask for them. You have to ask for extra pickles. You have to get extra sauce. So if you want the spicy you want, I recommend more pickles. And then the lettuce they give you is usually just a slice of nothing. It's just dumb. so if you're i'm just saying if you're gonna get like if you want like sauces and condiments and all

that you got to say something there it bugs me yeah anyway yeah there's that really yeah plus i don't like you as your chick-fil-a i don't like the owner's sweet i don't like the anti-gay owner either i don't like him well i don't like that either didn't he backtrack out of all that no he's still a butthole but he's not in charge of anything anymore and all the franchises are locally owned so i don't well if i if i stop shopping places that that are dicks i i I won't get you to go to Walmart, really just any store. You'll never get anything ever again if you stop shopping where dicks are. Yeah.

Unless you go, well, never mind. I'm not going to say. Hey, all right. Looking good so far. All right. Win Vegas. What does your heart tell you? You know, I don't know what my heart tells me, but I think Larry Canobee pointed out Arby's

and I like it. Oh, Arby's got to have me some horsey sauce, even though Scott doesn't like that. I like horsy sauce. I hear that they have the meat. Yeah, yeah, they do. I like real horseradish more than horsy sauce, but I'll do the horsy. It's fine. Well, yeah, but I like real burgers instead of Burger King, Burger King.

I love how you were trying to stick me with your anti-horsey sauce, and then I indicated that I'm not, so you turned back to Burger King and how shitty the food is. I like that. Just know that you're always wrong, Scott. Yeah, no, I like it. I like it. And that, you know, the variety you get at Arby's, they've got the salads, they've got ice cream, or they've got shakes anyway.

They've got, uh, oh, jimoka shake. Yeah. A chicken sandwich is not a roast beef. Please tell me how the Arby's owner, what does he believe? He believes in the meats. He believes in the meats. He believes in the meats, by the way, is the owner of every Arby's. And he went up into space and, uh, and prevented the asteroid from hitting us.

Yeah, he also had a, no, that was Michael Clark Duncan. You're close though. Michael Clark Duncan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're close. It was one of those great big black people, Brian that you're, that you're right. All right, let's get to it. Show me, what did you say, Scott? Said it's one of those great big black people you're remembering.

Sorry, go ahead. Show me, show me Arby's. Number four on the list. The owner of Frog Pants has got a controversy. I do this too. I mix them up all the time. One of them had a ball gag. The RBCO has been doing some stuff.

Let's see here. Oh, yeah, he's a jerk. Yeah, is it? Oh, good, good. Yeah, set fire to, set fire an old folks home and, um, farted it, farted in the president's face. If you want to, if you want to waste the day away, just type in controversy and then the owner of anything. Right.

Yes, exactly. You'll, you'll, yeah. Turns out you can't, yeah, you can't actually. It's kind of like, uh, rain man and Qantas. Like, you're basically going to find one store that you have to shop at for the rest of your life. If you, if you try to apply the controversy. Yeah. Yep, and that's no way to shop.

Oh, all right. When Magus, we're on a roll here. What else is on a roll that we could say? Chat suggesting either KFC or Popeyes. I like those two as options. Oh, I do too. I like, I feel like Popeyes has risen so much in recent years. So they're probably likely on here.

Maybe both are on here. Damn spicy chicken sandwich that everybody had to have. Yeah, remember how they were like, we never had them and that was a weird air. era there where we couldn't get chicken are we heading back to that because of the egg thing? We had some weird things that we freaked out about. I paid $10

for eggs this morning. We're definitely in a place that's not going to be good. Yeah, I don't like those egg prices. Here's a dumb question. Was that pre? I can seriously, I thought that was during the pandemic, right? Or was it pre? No, I thought it was in pandemic, like 2000? I thought it was like 2000. I thought it was during the

pandemic, not pre, but it's like I remember people lining up to get them so that doesn't feel like a safe pandemic. People are saying pre I'm almost sure it wasn't pre I'm almost sure of it I know we're still in pandemic I didn't say remember Claire I did not

say post pandemic because that's not a thing yet Claire sit down you're fine everything's fine Um Go play your 360 Claire It is her birthday Rainbow Bright says

2019 so pre pandemic I need a citation Maybe it was the cause of the pandemic was the spicy chicken sandwich I got to find out for sure But in the meantime It was fall 20-20 Anyway, why do we say that

So we're saying Popeyes? Yeah, Popeyes, Popeyes? Pop-I's? Pop-I? All right, show me Popeye? Oh, man! Where are they on this list?

A lot of people said, yeah, number 21 on the list was Popeyes. Oh, man, that's too low. You guys are weird. They're very good. Yeah, yeah. By the way, I would be honest, I do Popeyes over Chick-fil-A because of the variety. Like, they've got, well, and also because of the bigotry.

But the, like, Popeyes, you don't have to do just a sandwich there. You've got, like, clams, fried clams and fish and all sorts of things. Here is the. Yes, what's the official? Here it is. I found it. It's selling, okay, here is, they're right, 2019. I was sure it was.

sure it was during like early pandemic i was sure i thought so too like we all need a distraction from our uh tiger king and sourdough bread and so we all flock to poppies for chicken sandwiches yeah it was late summer i guess when that i was going down i don't man whatever that whole era is so blurred now i don't remember anything so weird claire look oh look keep in mind she says yeah nothing screams yummy more than fast food clams and she's right she's absolutely right but you kind of keep There's like the fast food in this tiny little bubble over here, but then there's like all these other great restaurants and cooking at home and food over here. And this is the big thing. It's almost, it's almost as make you look at, oh, I'm really focused on this big bubble over here.

I'm not seeing so much this bubble over here. What's in this bubble over here? I don't even see it. But no, there's this big bubble over here that's got all the good food. That's right. Brian is absolutely correct about that. Also, none of this Claire could eat. This is all stuff would be off her menu.

That's right. Exactly. Right? Like, you're not even going to eat, though. There's anything anywhere in this list that Claire could eat. No. Well, happy birthday anyway, Claire. All right.

Let's continue forward. Where are we? Oh, it's our turn. No, it's Brian's turn. Thank you, Gilbert Gottfried, for providing that inspiration for that last bit. Brian, it's over to you because they got a strike. So, Brian, what you got? Well, first, I'm Googling Popeye's owner controversy.

He had that whole big thing with Pluto years ago. Yeah. But don't read it. You already can't eat anywhere as it is. I'm going to go with another controversial figure. I'm not sure if they let him still get this where he's at. But Jared was always eaten the subway. Oh, Subway is a good one.

I'm thinking that's a pretty popular. I'm thinking there's somebody out there who smuggles in a cake to Jared and it's got a subway sandwich hidden in it. Now, here's, I'm having a Mandela moment. I'm having a Mandela moment. Didn't somebody stab and kill him in prison or am I thinking of like Jeffrey Dahmer or somebody? No, you're thinking of Jeffrey Dahmer.

Okay. Which is the same. It's the same. I know. I know. They're both the same. They can't get to Jared because he's sitting there holding his pants out like this. It's like a big defensive.

Like they keep, ah, I'm just getting empty pants and air. Yeah. You just got a lob a grenade in there, live grenade. Right. All right. Brian says subway. The card says subway. Not moops.

Let's see if we got subway on. Eat fresh. Show me. Yeah, number six. Good call. You're still not even close to our score, but keep trying. Keep trying. That's right.

We got three more answers left. That was kind of rude. I mean, really. What's that? It was me saying. We're all mice and everything, and now Scott's attacking me for no reason. Look, I'm feeling, I'm feeling competitive. A horsey sauce.

Competitive. You might have to, you might have to bite them with your fang, Brian. Yeah, yeah. It's coming. All right. He's coming. All right. I'll watch for it.

Way, fast food restaurants. So I get a little notification up in the top corner of my screen when I get an email to a certain account that's like my work account. And I swear to God, I just got an email from the, from Bernadette at the plaza. And it was addressed to Brain. Brain, no way. Just now. Oh, Bernadette. Bernad.

I'm going to spell her name, Burnadette, is what I'm going to do. Bernadale. Damn it. All right. Yes. Anyway, okay. All right. We got three answers left. What you got, Brian? Well, I think my friend Wandover, they already used this, but I'm going to, but he didn't say it. He said Popeyes instead. I think I'm going to go with the KFC.

Oh, because that was the other one he was wrestling between. Sure. Wouldn't that be a steel? Yeah. That would be a steel. Kentucky, Kentucky fried a chicone. Okay. Yes, all right. Chicken. Show me the colonel's original.

11 spices that make you crave at fortnightly jackass oh wow you talk about two strikes in you kFC one one notch above pop-eyes number 20 pop-ies was uh actually both of them have five people who said kFC and poppice kFC uh for here's your fun local fact of the day uh the original kentucky fried chicken restaurant open on 33 south in main right here in salt lake city not in kentucky was the very first kFC of all time amazing Yep. It's a big missing. And still, to this day, yeah, he probably was.

And still to this day has the absolute worst mashed potato substance you will find anywhere ever, everywhere. It's barely potato. Because it's kind of, yeah. It's not really potato.

It's weird consistency. Yeah, it's something else. I don't know what to call it. If you have a crack in your wall that you need filled before you can apply some paint. Yeah, it's spackle. It's spackle or collin. But those KFC bowls are all right when you don't notice the mashed potatoes.

Yeah, you're just going to go to town on it. Yeah, I agree. And people are, and the people are 100% correct, by the way. Horrible potatoes, fantastic gravy. I don't know how that all works. The gravy is really good, but don't forget. And I've told the story on the show. I had that friend in high school, Gary Ott.

No, Gary Gertzen, who worked at a KFC and would occasionally put a chicken leg up his butt and then fry it up and serve it to people. So I'm not saying they do that now. I'm not saying you'll ever run into that. I'm just saying Gary served butt chicken to people. No one is going to eat fast food today after all the things. I think you're right. We're going to get a cease and desist letter from all of these.

That guy was gross, man. He was one of the grossest human beings I've ever known in my life. And it didn't end there. There was more. But anyway, let's continue on. That was the least of his transgressions. I was about to say the part that I'm most concerned about is not me eating a fried but. chicken leg. The thing that scares

me the most is you sticking a salmonella raw chicken leg up your butt. The salmonella from like a raw piece of chicken up your butt, that's just like saying, hey, hey, bacteria. Let me give you the shortest off to the inside of my body. You're 100%

you're both correct. He just, he never thought about that. That guy would not think of that. The last thing he would think about is what was going to happen to him. All he cared about was causing chaos in the world and putting chicken and butt chicken on people's in their bucket and selling it and having

them none be the wiser. Some poor grandmas at the park munching on a freaking drumstick doesn't know that Gary's butthole. Oh man. I still, to this day, I wish I could reach through time and warn them. I know that that one leg right there has 12

herbs and spices instead of the extra spice in it. But I mean, come on. I mean, he did fry it. It probably if it could kill Salmonella, it probably could kill his butt germs. I'm just saying I can't believe Claire is arguing for this. She says, but eggs come from vaginas. Claire.

This is a weird, it's a weird hot take, Claire. Like, it's a weird hill to die on. Yeah, going to go into bat for Gary's butt chicken. Oh man. Anyway, all right. So, it's our turn, right? Me and WinMegas are back. Yeah, he has. Yes. Yeah, let's steer this ship back in the port. Let's do it.

But, uh, yeah. I want to steal another one from the chat that had a good, good suggestion. on the tuba at the Panda Express. Oh, yeah, Panxpr. People love, look, if you like diarrhea, head to Panda Express. I like it, too. I never, I never eat there.

Really? It grosses me out. I don't like it. Really? Oh, man, they're orange chicken. Oh, it's the best. I don't know why. I don't know why I don't like it.

I try, but I don't like it. Anyway, let's put them up, but I agree that they're popular. Let's get them in there. What are we going? All right. Show me. Pandexpress.

I couldn't think of their slogan or, or, you know, what they say about it. It's number 13 in the list. Eight people said Penda Express. Okay. Panda Express, they have the panda. Yeah, they, well, this is the problem, right? You're going to run out of panda.

You wonder why that thing's so extinct these days. I'll take a panda and some bamboo sauce. How come you guys never have any panda? Yeah, what's going on? You don't even have any panda, let alone express panda. This is late. And I don't, and I don't want Jimmy to stick the. panned up his butt.

All right, Brian, you got to figure this out. I feel like we're in the weeds here because we've done all the big names. I know, we did the big names. How about we go with the one we haven't talked about? I was worried it might be fractured, but Ibid probably put them together. There's Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. That's a breakfast place. It's very popular around here.

Oh, yeah. Hardies is huge there. Carl's Jr. is okay here, although that dirt cloud I got in that salad years ago. It was a bummer. Yeah. But, yeah, that's a good one. do that. Sure, sure. All right, show me Carl's Jr. slash

Hardee's. No, even combined Carl's Jr. had four parties. Hardys had Charles Jr. had four people would not go to the combo of. I like a visit to Sonic.

Can we try Sonic? Sure. All right. Yeah. Show me Sonic. Damn it. Oh, no. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

The mystery that is over here on the right side of board. Number 14 on the list was Sonic. Okay. All right. Brian, it's up to you. This is Brian's last chance. Let's see. He needs, what, 12, 13 points to tie 14 to win.

So any pair of these will do it for you. I'm just going to go with my gut. That's the only thing you go with this category. That's right. That's right. um i'm gonna go with my favorite place to get egg rolls oh jack in the box you gross do they really sir i know they do tacos and stuff but really oh yeah dude the best the best meal at jack in the box is taco with egg roll you're for your mind

you're killing me i kid you not that sounds horrendous that jack of the box is like such a variety that their burgers are not great though is the is the problem like the one of the thing that they're like most known for is that is the burger and it's like it's a subpar burger but they they're outside the burger things are actually pretty good yeah plus they have guys injecting heroin in bagis locations so that's cool well there's that yes uh wow a lot of people talking about the jacking the box in the uh in the tadpole all right let's go to it ready here we go show me jack in the box it's for all the marbles oh number 13 i'm sorry number 12 Jack in the box. Right above Panda Express.

Not enough stoners in the chat room. We have more stoners. We have more jack in the box. That's how it works. That's right. Well, you'll have to see once you see what the rest of these answers are. I did have one and I just didn't know if it qualified as fast food. But the one I would have answered is Chipotle. Oh, Chipotle. See, that's the problem. Oh, it's on there.

By the way, Chipotle. See, this is that line that Wingis was talking about, though. Like, it's fast food, but is it, you know? Like, I don't know. So here's the deal. For me, it's fast food if you get your food at the counter and take it back to your table. It's fast casual. If you order at the counter, take a little plastic tent and take it back to your table and they bring you the food.

Okay. Well, I think it's fair. If I was to say, if we were hanging out and I said, let's grab some fast food. And then I said a name. You said, no, Brian. That's fast, fast casual. I'd have to kick you. No, Mr. Fang, that is fast casual food.

never heard it we call it fast cash yeah but the fast casual might include things like oh no five guys burgers and price you have to go up and get it we should have done that your name why we just go back up to the counter yeah all right well let's include olive garden ew no that's that's family casual only if you're there no only if you're there all right let's get to this uh the last two on here number nine couple people said in the tadpool and I think Once I said the go up and, uh, you take your tent back to the table and they bring your food. Culver's. Oh.

Yeah. Colvers is still regional-ish. We've only got like one or two and I don't think about them. So a good one though. Yep. It's a fair one. And finally, a place that Scott has never been to my knowledge, even though they, uh, they have a great variety. This is, this one's questionable for fast food, but I still think it qualifies because you still get your food at the counter.

Show me number 10. Hiner. They are kind of fastest food, yeah. Yeah, they're a little, they're cut above. We have a place here called, and I forgot the name, but they're very similar and we go there all the time. I don't know why Panera and I have never touched fingers. Let's say fingers, shall we? We'll say fingers.

Rounding out some of the ones that are in the top that did make the top ten. Five guys, A&W, in and out. Cookout, which I think is just an East Coast burger place. Yeah, we love cookout around here. Yep. Del Taco, Jersey Mike's Waterburger, or as Randy Deluxe and most of the country calls it, Waterburger. Checkers and Rally is another combo. One person, by the way, did say the combo KFC Taco Bell Pizza Hut, which I think is a brilliant answer because if you had to go to one place for the rest of your life, make it a place that has free, fast food places. Yeah, that way you always have a choice, you know, have more choice than you would have normally. That's right. Unless you have a jack in the box where apparently you can get any.

Egg rolls, which is weird. You get egg rolls, yeah. With six, you get egg roll. Pizza Hut, what I just mentioned. Freddy's surprisingly wasn't higher on the list. Habit, Jimmy John, steak and shake, dominoes, hardies, mod pizza, nandoes, portillas, quodoba, Roy Rogers, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I didn't think.

And I think for, uh, Zaxby's. Oh, Zaxby's is good. They're chicken. I think for pizza places, you might have run into the problem of, is pizza place to fast food. I mean, yeah. But also, no. I would, I would only, I would say that only mod pizzas fast food because it's such, they're such small pizzas and you get them pretty much at the counter.

They're, you know, they're short enough for the time to make that you get them right away. Yeah, the reason. The Lord Caesar is you just walk in and go, oh, that's true. They've already got to give it to you. Yeah. But that's pretty fast. Like, I would say mod pizza figured out a way to bridge. the two. They said, hey, we want good pizzas, but also want them quick and to order.

So let's combine this and then, and they became fast food, but it's still a cut above what you'd expect from like, oh, it really is. Caesars or something or even. God, really wanted to sell that is so freaking good. I want to go there now. Well, well done, everybody. Guess what that means. That means we have a winner. Congratulations. You're a winner. You're a winner. You're a winner, win-Megas. How do you feel about being a winner? WinMegas? There are just no words. I know, right? There are no words. And so instead of giving you words, we're going to give you codes.

Brian's going to send those to you directly over Discord. You'll get those shortly. And we thank you for playing. Boom. Yeah, well done. Nicely done. And everybody listening, if you're like usually in the tadpool on Wednesdays, you want to be a part of this, friend me in Discord, Frog Pants, 1-277 in Discord. And you'll be eligible when you ping me on those days. Sorry to everyone who didn't win today, but when Megas beat you all by being number four,

all right? That's how it works. What else you got going on? You got anything you wanted to tell us before you go, get out of here? Yeah, I can't remember what we're watching for film sacs. So I'm going to ask it now.

What are we watching for film set? Strange days. Strange days. Kathleen Kennedy? No, Catherine Bigelow. Catherine Bigelow, yes. Yes, they got the Ray Fines and the lady, your Baconda Forever lady.

I can't think of her name. Angela Bassett. Angela Bassett is in there. First time I ever saw her. That's the movie where after it I went. She should be Storm if they ever do X-Men. Yeah. And they didn't do her.

It would have been a good choice. She was fine. She was fine. Except for that toad comment. Yeah, she was all right. You know what happens to a to get struck by lightning? The same thing. The same thing that happens.

Everything will. It sucks. It sucks so bad. Anyway, done away, having you here, boy, it just makes my heart glow with good times. Bye. All right, he's out. We are now going to take a break. When we return, you know him, you love him.

Tom Merritt will be here talking tech. All right, we got some tech to talk about it. I don't know what tech. He doesn't tell me ahead of time. I don't know. Surprise tech is what it is. It is surprise tech. That's right.

Microsoft Bethesder are doing a big event today. Maybe we'll talk about that. I don't know. I mean, it hasn't happened, so probably not, but it'll happen at 1 p.m. or something. or sometime this afternoon. Anyway, or wait, 1.30 today? Anyway, it doesn't matter.

I may cover it if I can figure out a way to do it. Although probably not because I have DT&S then. Anyway, hey, Brian, play us a song and take us through the break. We're here. Yeah, we're going back to German, Germany, or German. We're going back to German. For a punk rock, punkabilly four piece called The Blood Strings. They have an LP that's coming out this summer, June 2020,

produced by the Donuts at Heavy Cranich Studio in Munster. These are The Bloodstrings, and the first single from their album, their debut album, it's called Heartache Radio. On my stereo. I used to knock myself out Shadowboxer with the water for heart He would never help me out Nights go passing, lights go flashing, lights go flashing

Drinks go pouring down Bridges burning hearts go hurting Lonnie in a cloud of town Got my heart on my sleeve and my hand in the crowds And I never trim the volume down Tonight I'm gonna say on Harleic Radio

Radio Tonight I'm gonna bring my sorrow to your stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo

Stereo Stereo Stereo A Good time to charm Take with your name on my own but hardly catch the better cards Gotta pull it with my name

And the bulls it for a half This time you really hit the mark Nights go passing Lights go flashing Drinks go pouring down Reds burning Hearts go hurting Lonely in a clouded town

Got my heart on my sleep And my head in the clouds And I never turn the volume down And I'm never turning off this track And the record turns, and the record turns. Tonight, I'm going to sing on heartache radio. Radio, radio, radio, radio, radio. Tonight, I'm going to bring my sorrow to your stereo.

Stereo, Stereo, Stereo, Stereo. Growing up on the starless skies. Kids never let each other down And the bottom of me is still juvenile Even when I'm old and gray Like this town Tonight I'm gonna sing

On heartache radio Radio Radio Radio, radio Tonight I'm gonna bring my sorrow To your stereo Oh, Sterio, Osterio, Osterio,

Oh, stay, oh, What is a man? the morning stream one way or the other this war ends tonight and we returned tell me who that was again that was a band called the bloodstrings from Germany and that is their debut single from their upcoming album the song is called heartache radio boy nothing nothing reminds you how far we've come with the Germans

than watching a documentary last night or finishing a documentary about the Holocaust and then immediately Brian telling me about a cool German band. It's just like this big, big divide brought together, you know? We've come a long way. Crazy, right? How the circle has closed. Congratulations to our German friends.

You guys did all right in the end. It's got kind of gnarly there for a while, but hey, you're good now. We're all good now. We're all good now. Yeah, we like you now. We're going to get Tom in here. Let's get it happening and see what is knocking at. his tech door, which you know it's something, so let's find out.

With the computer as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is our good friend and Wednesday edition, Tom Merritt, who comes in here and talks about the tech stories he's searching and looking for and talking about for today's daily tech news show. Hello, Tom Merritt. Welcome back. When you say Wednesday edition, it really gets my hopes up that I'll be added to the cast of the Netflix hit show Wednesday. Yeah, I want you to be. You're the new super intense. and of school or something. There we go.

Yes. I'd like that. I don't know. I don't know if I want the responsibility of being in charge of that mask. Oh, I got an idea. You're, because this fits your whole vibe, plus you like the 40s and noir and all that. You'd be some kind of like local, whatever muggles are in that world, detective. Private detective.

Yeah. All right. Now you got me. We haven't seen Cousin It. Tom could be our cousin in. You could be Cousin It. How do you feel about growing your... Just a big wig.

Yeah, just get a big wig head on. How do you feel about that? Sure. Yeah. I think I might like the private detective. Why not both? Yeah, why not both? Oh, the surprise at the end of your season is that cousin it is the detective.

He's the private detective, yeah. Yeah, the whole time. He was under that wig and was also discovering evidence, and you just didn't know. That's right. All right. Well, it's good to have it here. We was talking before this that, you know, Microsoft's got a big event today. It hasn't happened yet, but it will be happening.

I'm sure that'll be covered today when we talk later. but, actually, it may be happening while... That's your butt, it will. That's right. It may actually happen while we're recording D-T-N-S. I'm not actually sure. But anyway, I have to look at the time. But I'm sure there's other things percolating.

Why don't you share those with us? Yeah, so there is a bit of research out of the University of Pennsylvania's Horton School. That's Horton with an H-W-H-H-R-T-O-N. gave their final exam for an MBA to GPT3. Oh, all right. Oh, right, okay. No way, really. Yeah.

It fooled, it fooled Wharton. It got basically B-B-minus. Wow. Yeah. Was really like nailed all the basic operations management, process analysis questions, and was remarkably bad at math. Oh, wow, really?

That seems like the one it should ace, you know? Yeah, right. At times, makes surprising mistakes in relatively simple calculations at the level of sixth grade math. Oh, my lord. Did it include any illustrations that had horrible hands? Is that another? Not seeing any mention of that one way or another. So there aren't any hands with 14 fingers.

Okay, good. That's good to hear. I hear of plagiarize those for Mid Journey anyway, so. Yeah. probably yeah it's going to be a whole thing but so the what i see the headlines going with is and this shows the danger you know that that students cheat on on and i'm like i mean sure i it's not impossible for somebody to make an elaborate thing where they they they you know use some some secret cameras and microphones and earpieces and all that i doubt most students are

going to go to that trouble. And there's some things you can do to prevent that. I think the positive takeaway on that side of this is more along the lines of, aha, this will help us make a better test. So we now know the things that are kind of really obvious and simple. And the things that are more challenging that only a human can do, maybe revise the test to lean more into that. I've been hearing this a lot in the last couple of days about AI stuff in general, the GPT thing in particular is really good at what it does, but people are, the talk is we're less interested in seeing what more it can do and more interested in seeing how does this affect the stuff it seems to dupe really well and how do we make that more human? Like it's the same idea here,

I guess, is get the test more catered to, you know, to people learning or people showing their aptitude and less less about whether a computer can stump it or not. Like, I, it's, it's the part of this you never think about. Like, maybe these tools ultimately end up being litmus tests. It's like, you know, like a Turing test, not exactly, obviously, but, but this idea of like, here's, here's your baseline. If the computer does this, then what we're asking you to do is this. And these are the things that the computers can't do yet. And when they do, don't worry, we'll revise again.

Like, that seems like positive movement. Could we, could we require, like, PhD thesis is now to include crosswalks and traffic lights since computers. can't get those without human help. Yeah, they need us. Or please, you know, please write an essay on why you didn't turn that tortoise over in the desert. Why, Leon? Yeah, yeah, why not? After identifying all the bicycles, tell us why you didn't turn your sort of cake.

Exactly. Yeah, no, it's interesting stuff. I always like hearing about this. But it does feel like we're in a new era of it's no longer this thing beat someone at chess. You know, now it's beating us at life a little bit, so we have to adjust. Well, and it's not beating us. I think that's the thing I always remind us is as soon as we embrace a technology, we immediately start complaining about its shortcomings. So in advance of a technology, we're afraid it's going to be too good.

And after we start using it, we criticize that it's bad. And it's usually somewhere right in the middle, like good at some things, bad at another. And that's what the story shows me is it's not capable, I'm reading now from the NBC News Report. It's not capable of handling more advanced process analysis questions, even when they're based on fairly standard templates. including process flows with multiple products, problems with stochastic effects, such as demand variability. It's a lot of business words that means there are some really complex problems that humans are built to understand that these models don't yet grapple with. And like you said, Scott, it doesn't mean they won't get there someday. But until they do, you can use that as a

benchmark to say like, oh, okay, it's good at this, it's not good at that. Here's your advantage, humans. Let's test you more on that than the other thing. And when we're testing on the stuff, that the models can do, it's more akin to making sure you can do it. And we'll do safeguards to make sure you're not cheating and all of that as well. I feel like this is a great study that helps calibrate, not the last study we'll need, but it's a great study that helps calibrate how good this stuff is and what it's actually good at. Yeah, I agree. I think that's pretty cool.

Well, we'll talk about it, like in depth today on the Daily Tech News show. If you haven't tuned in on Wednesdays lately, you're missing out. We've had some really good discussion on there. and good day internet's have been kind of off the charts. I've been enjoying those. Yeah, man. It's a bit of fun start to the year for sure. I agree.

A strong January for DTNS. Tom, I know you've got a million other things going on. Is there any one of those things you'd like to mention today? Well, I would like to, I've looked it up just to make sure I didn't get it wrong. The Xbox Bethesda showcase starts at noon Pacific. That's one mountain, three eastern. And therefore, we'll probably be working up right as we start a daily technique. Yeah.

Thanks a lot, Microsoft. Yeah, way to go. That's a weird, they don't usually do these mid-afternoon things. It's almost always. Yeah, it is. They very rarely do anything at 12 Pacific 3 Eastern. So anyway, we'll do our best to sort of keep an eye on it and shove it in there somewhere. If nothing else, it'll be a good day internet.

If you're a patron, you get that. The thing I did want to let folks know is that I recorded a special episode on Section 230 because there's a big Supreme Court case that will be heard in February, actually two cases going before the Supreme Court, that are testing the limits of Section 230. And if you're like, I've heard of that. I don't remember what it is. It's the part of the Communications Decency Act from 1996 that says that a tech platform that lets other people post on it can't be held live. for what the other people post. There's lots of caveats and exceptions to that, and it's often misinterpreted.

So I did a special episode of Know a Little More that'll come out tomorrow that says, I'm not telling you what to think or what to argue. You can hate it, you can love it, you can want it repealed, you can want it preserved as is, but let's all argue from what it actually does and how it got there. So I kind of walk you through.

Here's what was true before Section 230. Here's what Section 230 aimed to do. So if you want to repeal it, you should know this is what it would reset to if you got rid of it and didn't replace it with anything else. Again, that's coming at know-a-littlemore.com. Oh, definitely worth checking that out because that stuff's fascinating to me. And the idea of where all this heads, Section 230 and Beyond, is infinitely interesting. So if you want to check that out, please do. It's Tom Merritt, everybody.

He's also known as Ace Detect on all the socials. Tom, have a fantastic day. We'll see you next time. Thanks, Ben. Bye now. you say thank a van thank you ban thank you ban thank you ban that's fine with me you uh if you're if you uh i'll see him if you're happy with the way things are in life thank a ban yeah i'll thank a ban and if i see the little a three-year-old van later i'll thank him

on behalf of tom yeah it's not a problem uh all right it is time for recommendals yes that's right recommendals i haven't heard from nicole is she with us today she is she is uh she's doing the thing that she talked about doing before last week, so. Awesome. So there you go. Let's see. Where is? Randy, there he is. All right.

We're adding him to the call. Let's get this going. Randy, Runder. This should be a good time. Let's play the thing for it. It's time for some recommendals where we talk about stuff we saw on streaming services and thought you folks at home might like to check out yourselves. While we ring Nicole, let's say hello to Randy,

And hi, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. How you doing? I'm fine. Thanks for asking. It's a beautiful morning in Southern California, but it's kind of hot. Like hot in January. Hot like what?

Tell me what hot is for you folks. What do you call hot? For January the 25th, we're going to top out at like 69 to 71 Fahrenheit. Oh, that is kind of warm. Yeah. Wow. Okay. I feel so bad for you.

Yeah, I know. I feel terrible. Heat wave. How will you ever? survive. No doubt. Salt Lake City currently sitting at a balmy 20-something degrees and that's a real bummer. Well, anyway, it's good to have you back. I don't see Nicole yet, but we'll keep this line open. She should be here. She might be here. She will be here. I'm predicting. I'm officially predicting she will be here. Speaking of predictions, we already got the early Oscar

odds. You know, Oscar Dobbs came out yesterday. And we already got some early Oscar odds. I am not surprised. Okay. Tell us who's the big. What do we got? Yeah. You know, like the, they go and nominate 10 films for a picture of the year, right?

Best Mother of Picture. Yeah. And, you know, the, the, the, the, your banshe's and your fablemen's and your everything everywhere all at once are the, the front runners, right? And they should be. Sure. Like, that's what, that's what you would expect. Yeah.

Um, 10 movies, though. I, I've been thinking. it would be really fun if they nominated 10 movies, but then they had a second round of nominations. Yeah. It trimmed it down to five. Right. Like maybe at the beginning of the broadcast, they could say, uh, you know,

here's the 10 nominee, the 10 that were nominated, but we've narrowed it down to three. So like for the duration of the broadcast, we're only going to really lead you, lead you to worry about these three. I mean, you're basically talking about,

thanks for, uh, thanks for showing up Kate Blanchet. Uh, you won't have, don't worry about leaving your seat to go to the bathroom. Yeah. Yeah, Bosch Lerman, you know. But the point is, like, why not, why not make it more fun and build a tournament kind of thing around it?

I'm all for that. Yeah, it'd be more fun. Oh, that's interesting, right? Like, would you vote for, in the second round, it's Elvis versus Triangle of Sadness? Yes, yes. What do you think should advance the best picture? That's what I'm saying. Make it more entertaining for us at home.

Instead, this thing's just so much pomp and circumstances is boring. By the way, I'm going to have a really hard time watching a movie called Triangle of Sadness. I'm just saying. Well, look, circle of sadness is worse. Speaking of not circles of sadness, circles of sadness, circles of happiness of a ride. Nicole, hi, welcome to the show. Hi.

Hi, how are you? Hi there. I'm here. Well, good. I'm glad you're here. Yeah. That's fantastic. Yeah, me too.

Listen, we're going to do some recommendals. And the tradition is we start with Randy, or sorry, Brian. We do that on film, sec. We start with Brian. Then we're going to do Nicole. Then we're going to do Randy. Then we're going to do me. That's the order today.

Okay. Sounds good. That's how it's going to work. Brian, take it away. What did you watch this week? By the way, I was looking up to see if Triangle of Sadness is streaming anywhere.

And the first thing that comes up in Just Watch is this link to the official trailer. And I think it's going to keep Scott from ever watching Triangle of Sadness. Why is that lady barfing? Why is that the artwork that comes up for Triangle of Sadness official trailer? I don't know. I didn't know anything about the movie prior to this. And now I'm not sure I want to know. That seems.

Is it gold? Is she? Hold on. Gold? What she, what she? Oh, man, I'm fascinated. Let me, let me read you the briefest description, Scott, so you can be sure that you'll never want to watch this. A fashion

model celebrity couple join an eventful cruise for the super rich. Okay, you're already already, I already hated. So White Lotus without the fun. The fun of watching a beloved member of the cast wash up on shore, basically.

I mean, you're giving it a lot of credit in assumption here, you know? Yeah. Well, I'm officially out, I think. I don't care about this thing. All right. They'll be experiencing the triangle of sadness when it doesn't win. Best picture. That's right. That's right. All right. Let's get to this. What do you got? This is my pick. It's a series. I was wrestling between three different things to do today that I've really enjoyed lately. This is, this one won because it's one that might fly under the radar for a lot of people. It's not, it's not. It's not. franchisee, it's not

sci-fi, it's not something that people might breeze right by if they are looking for it. It's a series, it's on Hulu, and here's the clip. Here you go. Toby Fleischman woke one morning inside the city he'd lived in all his adult

life, which was suddenly, somehow, now crawling with women who wanted him. Not just any women. Women who are self-actualized and independent and who knew what they wanted. Women who seemed kind. Women who seemed motivated and available. But also some who just sent over a picture of a G-string.

Or their side-boob. Or their under-boob. Or they're just plain regular boob. It was more than a newly divorced man could take after 15 years of marriage. All this, after a youthful of romantic rejection, All this, after placing a lifetime bet on one woman, who could have predicted this? Who could have predicted that there was such life in him yet?

But these women were not objects to Toby. They were his mentors. No, they were his heroes. They were teaching him how to live now that he was suddenly, somehow, no longer living with Rachel. Each morning he would wake up with an overwhelming sense of panic in that new apartment of his. Where was he? where was she where was his home something is wrong he'd think i am in trouble for rachel was no longer in bed with him i have no idea what this is i do that yeah well to send the name well plus i also

typed it in our chat randy uh this is called flechman is in trouble this is a mini series so this is this is your one and done season don't don't hope for a second season because you're not going to get one nor will you want one nor will you need one because as things get wrapped up. That voice you heard, by the way, the narration was a favorite of Scott in mine, Lizzie Kaplan. Oh, I do. Love her. She's amazing. She's very prominently featured

in this show, almost more than the character of Fleischman himself, Joel Fleischman, or Toby Fleischman, is Jesse Eisenberg. A very waffling back and forth between you like him and you don't like him, Jesse Eisenberg. Rachel, Toby's ex-wife, is

Claire Daines, playing the the most Claire Dainsy role you've ever seen her in. I am so glad that we got past that 20-year time frame in our lives when everybody hated Claire Daines for some reason. Oh, I love her. I did people. I never hated her. Yeah, who hated Claire Dane's. There was this thing where, like, I don't know, because of her character on my so-called life.

Or Holland probably loved her on my so-called-od. Terminator 3? Was it Terminator 3? Terminator 2. I don't remember. 3. you're right now yeah i don't remember any what's her name oneota rider she had something oh yeah somewhere right now uh brian dunway is googling uh is googling claire dane's controversy yeah he's doing

that earlier he like he's done it with all the fast food magnets magnets magnets why not now why not her but i mean she is really good she's especially good at this one kind of very angsty frenetic almost manic uh kind of character and and you do get her kind of homeland Manic kind of character in this. You also get Adam Brody as a friend of Toby. Basically, Toby's best friends are Adam Brody and Lizzie Kaplan, and she narrates the entire story, all eight episodes, but you also see her very prominently, and she becomes a very important figure in this story.

You also get what took me a long time to recognize Josh Radner, Ted Mosby, from How I met your mother as Lizzie Kaplan's husband and Christian Slater as an author that Libby is a huge fan of. Is he like Mr. Robot where you're not sure if he's really there or any of that? Oh, well, it's interesting. You might have to go in with that kind of theory. Yeah, no, so it tells the story of like you kind of got from the narration. Toby Fleischman is a recently divorced man who's living on a.

his own with, you know, sharing custody of the two kids. And all of a sudden, his ex-wife, Claire Daines, brings the kids over in the middle of the night because she needs to lock in an appointment at a yoga studio on the other side of New York and never comes back. And we've got to figure out what happened to Claire Daines and why she disappeared all of a sudden. Thank you for saying all of that, because it made me way more likely to watch this. Yeah, and that's the kind of the key of it. It's not just like a, oh, let's watch this recently divorced dude, figure out how to live his life. But as you also heard in that opening clip, he discovers the kind of the equivalent of a friend, a grinder or one of these apps, these dating apps, and a parade of women.

Don't watch this with the kids folks. is a parade of naked women that you see in this series. Okay. And it's a one-off. Who is this? Hulu? It's Hulu, right? It's Hulu. It was FX, originally aired on FX, and then now it's on Hulu. And just

wrapped up, it's one and only season, and trying to think who the showrunner is. It's based on a book. Oh, no, no, I'm sorry. Diana Schmidt. I'm seeing Taffy, Broder, Sir, anchor, but she might be the author of the original book.

Oh, gotcha. Yes, created by, oh yeah, she's the author, but this show is also attributed to created by Taffy. This is Adam Brody guy. He was on the O.C. Am I thinking of the right guy? He was. That is correct. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, thank you for smoking. Oh, Gilmore Girls. All right.

Yeah. Yeah. I was just scratching my head. How do I know the name Diana Schmidt? Oh, she was the executive producer of 30 Rock. Oh, really? Okay. Like, she made it like 105 episodes of 30 Rock. And so I've seen that name over and over. Nice.

Well, there you go then. That looks great. It's really good. And it's a quick series. It's eight episodes. It's very good. And, boy, I don't want to say anymore because it kind of spoils things. But is Christian Slater real?

Or is he not? No, I'm kidding. He's really real. He's real. Is this show at all about a place? Like, does it take place somewhere memorable? It takes place in New York in Manhattan, and Manhattan figures, I wouldn't go so far as to say, oh, Manhattan is actually a character in the story, because it's not, but it's, it's important to the setting. I'll just say that much. Is Eisenberg very Eisenberg in this?

He is, it's funny, he is as Eisenbergy as Claire Daines is Dainzy. Okay. All right. All right, fair enough. I guess I have I have places on my mind because some shows are like like remember uh what was the the show that took place in the delco part of uh Pennsylvania um or or you know white lotus white lotus like that's very prominent the setting yeah the mayor of east town very important. Um, yeah, a lot of that's the one you. I like shows where the location is a character. It matters. Yeah. It's almost as important as the actors that are in it. I like that a lot. Yeah for sure. And done right. Um, yeah. No, it's a. it's a really good story and uh and the mystery you know you you kind of you very realistically love and hate the characters as you watch them go through all this and the things the choices that they make and the decisions that they jesse isenberg's just never going to

play a cool guy that everybody likes no he's never going to play like a suave sophisticated there are times uh you know you see shirtless jessie eisenberg i'm you know i'll even spoil it and say you see pantsless Jesse Eisenberg, but you don't really, you don't see anything. You don't see the reverse cheeseburger or anything. But you do, but the guy looks,

he looks like a kid sometimes, like a completely shaved dolphin man. Yeah, he's an interesting look, right? I, I love that one, what is it called, where he's working a,

like an old, what do you call? call it, amusement park thing in the 70s? Yes, I like adventureland. That might be, I might be with you. That might be my favorite Jesse Eisenberg performance. Zombie land's good. Social network's good.

Of course, social network is good. That's Jesse Eisenberg performance that I've ever seen is this little movie called The Living Wake and I wish it was available. I wish someone would just buy it and put it on some streaming service so you could watch it. Such an awesome little movie. His fifth movie was The Village. I didn't know that.

Oh, really? Yeah, that's weird. Anyway, nicely done, Nicole. Jesse, Fleischman is in trouble for you shit out of luck fans. Yep, there you go. All right, check that out. Hey, Nicole, let's roll over to you here. We got one that is a holdover from last week, but nobody's seen it yet.

So I'm very excited about this. Any set up here before I hit play? Documentary. It was on MTV, and they brought it over to Paramount Plus is where I watched it. And there was only six episodes. And it's nice because you don't have to watch them all in order. I bounced around based on my interests of who they were interviewing. But as a mom, I'm really curious, like, what facilitates this kind of person to achieve these kinds of things.

And it's a really cool insight to parenting your kids. All right. So, there you go. All right, here we go. The relationship between a mother and a musician, it's everything. Last thing I wanted to do is disappoint my mother and say, I don't want to go to school anymore. He loved music. I thought, this is where you'll thrive.

I wanted to explore their stories of mothers of musicians. So I went on the road with my son, David. I knew that my parents were Holocaust survivors. I saw how hard my mother worked to keep my family to get. For a Mormon mom to say yes to your child wanting to be in a rock band, no Mormon mom is going to say yes to that. When you grew up where we grew up, music was another member of our family. Somebody said there's one in a million chance.

She's going to make it in the music industry. I said, there's one? The relationship between a mother and a musician. It inspires everything. Wow. This looks great. I got to watch this. It is so good.

I loved it so much. They filmed this back in 2019, but then they released it in 2021. So you heard in that clip, of course, Dave Grohl and his mom. And they wrote a book together. And that book inspired this documentary, which is called From Cradle to Stage.

And so Dave Grohl and his mom travel around to different famous musicians. Now, like I said, I wasn't really interested in some of these musicians. I kind of beep up between the episodes. So like the first one I start with was episode one where he interviewed, him and his mom interviews Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons and his family. And you get a huge insight into his upbringing and his story. And as you go through each episode, while they focus on the musician, they also pepper in Dave Grohl's story. So you get a lot of behind the scenes inside information of like him and Nirvana. And it's just a wonderful watch.

Because I mean, as a parent, I'm always, I'm always afraid I'm doing something wrong or screwing something up. Am I doing the right thing? So that's just what you do as a parent. Sure. It's my biggest worry. Sure, sure. So it's just, I really enjoyed watching it because even as you hear from these moms and they're like second guessing themselves and they're like, no, I need to support my kid. But they have troubles in high school and like it's a bumpy road.

So you also heard in that clip, Getty Lee from Rush. And, and his mother. His mother is amazing. Like, I, oh, my God. So I just want to be really, really clear. This is a series about different musicians and their mother. This is not a series about Dave Grohl and his mom. It is, though.

But like, they're the constant, their story is peppered through all of these episodes. So you have the focus, you have the focus of the guest mom and son, or mom and daughter. They also interview Miranda Lambert and her mom. Teresa Carlisle and her mom. My favorite, however, was Tom Morello and his mom. I love Tom. Merello. I love him. That was such a good episode. I loved it so much. So what this is like, it sounds like Star Trek, but it's like Picard and the Borg is your overarching story. And in this case, Dave Grohl and his mom are like Picard and the Borg. So you're always going to visit them every time, but you're still having these stand-alone stories about these people.

Yeah. And then Farrell Williams and his mom is, it's so good. I think you can learn so much about somebody by seeing their mom and like getting an interview with their mom or seeing somebody interview their mom because it really tells you a lot about how that person was brought up. If it was a, this is a warm loving house or we kind of just let him do what he wanted and he took up music and just went crazy with it, et cetera. Yeah. That's cool. That's very cool. It's wonderful. And they are really really, I mean, they're stand-alone episodes. So I kind of went episode one, and then I went episode six, and then I went to episode three. I just kind of beep popped around with it

based on my interest of who was being interviewed. But even, like, I didn't even know who Teresa Carlyle was, and I really enjoyed watching her story, too. She, it was interesting because when she did, when she started doing music, was this. same time Dave Grohl started, and they were both in Seattle, and they were talking about how they were doing their thing parallel to one another without knowing each other were there. It was really neat to kind of get some of that Nirvana backstory, too. What's the Brandy Carlisle song that everybody was obsessed with a few years ago? Hold on.

I have no idea. I know her through covers, so the covers she's done and the covers, of her probably the most, whatever the most popular cover of her song the music is would probably be that song you're talking about. Is it that cannonball song? Is that the one? I don't remember.

Paramount Plus is where you can watch this. It is an MTV production and it's streaming. It's wonderful. And it's called, sorry, where's the name, cradle to the stage, from the cradle to stage. From the cradle to stage. Very, I'm watching this.

This looks great. Yeah. Oh, can I also? put a little plug in for the new night court. I just start watching. There's only two episodes out and I love it. I love it so much. Is it out of a laugh track?

Do they do no laugh track? I don't know how they did it this time. How was it? Did you watch it? I haven't seen it yet. But is there a laugh track in it or is it just like a normal comedy? I didn't notice it but it's a normal. It's night court. It's a continuation of night court. So yeah. I just

wondered if they were going to like do the same three, you know, three camera a laugh tracky 80s comedy set up or if they were going to do something else. I didn't notice the laugh track, which means it might be there. I just know how weird it was in the trailer hearing Melissa Rouch's

real voice. Like instead of that squeaky Bernadettos, I'm the new judge. It feels like she'll never shake that. Like every interview she's done for 15 years. You know? Maybe she will now. Maybe this is it. That's what we're asking about. What's up with your voice?

Yeah, maybe that's, maybe this is what does it. know, that'll make the big turn for it. Yeah, I want to watch it. I haven't, haven't yet, though. It's a lot of fun. All right. And so is the new quantum leap. Well, maybe not. It's a little too, I'm like in the quantum leap. It's a little too serious. I need some, I need some funny. I need a little funny in that one. It's, they, they went right into, hey, what's a, what's a, a mystery, a big overarching mystery that we can do for the entire show without establishing all right here are the rules of this of this science fiction he's got to be able to bounce he's got to be able to do it within his lifetime and they've broken all of the rules in

the first like first few episodes there's a thing in action adventure tv series for a long time where you're supposed to get the whole series in the first episode you're supposed to like give us a whole story in the first episode and like introduce everybody and put everything on the line and I'm like oh I kind of would like for you to take it a little more slow let me get to know some of these people like I I watched maybe three episodes of the new quantum leap and I just felt like oh we're just rushing way too fast here so we're we're watching it it's not we're certainly not making it the first thing that we watch every week but it's like oh you know we're eating dinner we don't want to focus on something serious like the peripheral which we're

enjoying tremendously thank you Scott but but it's like yeah it's it's it's it's background three quarter pay attention kind of programming sure i uh i still kind of want to see it but i don't know i don't know what's holding me back on that because i do love the original show we've talked about it a million times it's just a little too serious for me it's a little too serious and it has it doesn't have all of the charm that the original series has uh and i'm and i'm really seriously still expecting that a scott bacula cameo in the final episode's going to happen may as well he's not doing anything else get him out there right Might as well.

Get it in there. All right, Randy, let's dive into yours. We've got a clip here. Any set up for this, sir? My cinephile friends and I have had an email mailing list together for over 25 years. And one of them, one of those people yesterday emailed me right after the Oscar nominations came out and said, do I have to watch this movie? And I went, I was like, I went looking. I found it.

I found it streaming. And I'm like, yes, yes, you have to watch this movie. The name of the movie is the first thing you're going to hear in this clip. So, no surprises. But I am going to make a case for, yes, you need to watch this movie. Roll the clip. All right, here you go. He doesn't like change.

Sorry, here's this one. Maverick. 30 plus years of service. Combat medals. Citations. Only man to shoot down three enemy planes in the last 40 years. Distinguished. Distinguished.

Distinguished. Yet you can't get a promotion. You won't retire. And despite your best efforts, you refuse to die. You should be at least a two-star admiral by now, if not a senator. Yet here you are. Captain. Why is that?

It's one of life's mysteries, sir. Nice. Yeah, I think we know that one. I've heard of it. This movie getting nominated for Best Picture is one of life's mysteries. I am here to tell you it does not make sense. But there is something about it that is so much greater than the sum of its parts. You should be tired of seeing old gaunt Tom Cruise at this point.

He is gaunt. You should be really, really tired of this entire enterprise. They basically made the movie. before COVID and then put it on a shelf for two years, you know, I guess something happened. Along the way, someone figured out that it needed to have more than just top gun stuff, right? Because this movie is absolutely chock full of top gun stuff.

Don't get me wrong. There's a lot of plain dog fighting, like a lot. But in the middle of this movie, 35 years after the first one, in the middle of this movie this movie completely steps outside itself and says oh hey you know how val kilmer has been through the worst thing that could happen to an actor we're going to make you sit with that we're going to make you sit with that for a long time and you're going to look at him and you're going to listen to him oh my god i'm sitting on my couch crying while watching this thing uh because it's streaming on paramount it is so it is so it is so word

of being seen. I still think it's worthy of a best picture nomination, but you should watch this movie just to see the scene between Tom Cruise and Valcomer, you know, whatever it is, like 10 years after Tony Scott died, you know?

It's awesome. Yeah, it is good. I liked it a lot. And I did a kind of lengthy sort of review on the show after I watched it finally. Brian saw in theaters, I think, right? Yeah. We both liked it. But it had, it was It had an impact on me I didn't expect.

And it's a little along the lines of what you've described. But even more, it was this, it's handling of what does the passage of time mean? What does age mean? How do you deal with some of those issues? How do you try to reconcile the passage of time, that kind of stuff? I didn't expect that from it. There was depth to that in the movie. And it worked for me.

Partly because, you know, when a movie came out, I was like 15. and now I'm 52, three, sorry. And it's just a different, it's a different world now, a different life, a different everything. And this movie had a way of understanding that. And I didn't expect that. I thought it was just could be dog fights and woohoo. And it was that, but it was this other stuff.

And I think that's probably why it's a better fuller experience and why I got nominated. I'm fine when I being on that list. I tried to explain to my cinephile friend that you should be watching a movie like this for the cinematography. You should be watching it for the incredible editing and sound design. There are all kinds of things in this movie that are supposed to be on a level. And this particular movie, Top Gun Maverick, is that level plus one. The cinematography alone, you can watch it with the sound off.

It is awesome. Yeah, it's really good. And a lot of stuff is straight up practical and very little digital help on stuff. And like the original film in that way, it's kind of ground. breaking and I don't know I'm also not used to Tom Cruise looking a little vulnerable that's weird right he's his his thing is I make movies where I'm cool and exactly yes and he's vulnerable he cries he cries multiple times in this movie yeah like he's there's scenes where he's staring into the eyes of Miles teller and tears are running down Tom Cruise's face

and I'm like oh my god don't make me like Tom Cruise as an actor and that's exactly what happens I like Tom Cruise as an actor in this. Yeah, it's really good. Paramount's got it still, and I assume it'll be there for the foreseeable. Probably. Yeah, and it was nominated for five other Oscars besides Best Picture, by the way. Is it with the commercials, by the way? Like, is it...

No, they do. So I have the... Yeah, they give you 120 seconds of commercials up front. Yeah, and then you get the whole movie after that. So started up, P, come back, watch the movie. Yeah. Yeah, and I tested it. I started it up, got through the commercials, got in the,

the middle of it and then I paused it for like hours and came back to it and they did not replay any commercials. Once you've watched that, you're good. Yeah, you're solid. If you pause it though, you'll get a nice, you get a nice little ad. I love that. Oh, yeah, well, it's paused. Paramount's weird. It's like, hey, pause our stuff and see an ad. It's like, we don't have enough ads to give you. How about when you pause and go pee? So dumb. Anyway, good, good call. That's a good movie. Let's throw mine in here. This is a Netflix original documentary that I clicked on random thought, because I thought, well, this sounds dumb. This must be interesting, because often they are when they sound dumb. So I clicked it. And here's what it sounds like. He doesn't like

change. I wear three pair of socks, and I keep a paper towel with me at all times. Just help you cope. So we had to keep him in a safe little bubble. My whole life, I've been poor. Poor is when you don't have enough money. When your house payment's only $125 a month, yeah, we lived in a ratty old house that snow came in, told we wrapped it in plastic, literally a big sheet of plastic. Yeah, it had a lot of holes. All right, this one is.

It's not actually going to explain what it is at all. It's a weird thing about it. Not even a little bit. This movie is called the Pez Outlaw. and it is currently on Netflix. It's about this guy named Steve G-L-E-W, who spent the 90s basically smuggling super rare pez dispensers out of Europe back to America and selling them.

What a life. It's a very odd thing, right? Like all of what I just said to you sounds kind of insane. Yeah. It was it was really great until the president of Pez Candy Corporation, which, by the way, they call him and they print on his door, Pezident. The president, yes.

Which blew my freaking mind. I still can't stop thinking about it. But they call him, you know, ironically or unironically, the president. And that guy's a real jerk and ended up fighting this dude. And anyway, there was this whole thing, like full big giant conventions where people would go and compare their Pez dispenser collections and sell them. And they were kind of, it was a massive, weird underground thing for a while. And America was really bad at doing anything new.

It was always just like, all right, we have a deal with Disney and we're going to do these characters and we're going to do these Star Trek characters because these are big deals we've signed with these big IPs. We're never going to do weird ones or little offshooty ones or smaller ones. But in Europe, they did one for everything. There's a pez dispenser for freaking everything. And there were some really rare ones. And they would go for like five grand. Anyway, this documentary not only follows this dude's story. story and his whole smuggling story, but also talks to a ton of people who are actual

pez dispenser collectors. They spend time at these conventions. I found it all utterly fascinating. If you're wondering why his wife sounded a little weird, her voice, she was diagnosed with what's the Parkinson's? There we go. Parkinson's disease, which it doesn't always manifest as shaking. Sometimes it manifests in other ways. And in her case, it's destroying her ability to speak. and so for most of this documentary she's kind of got this gentle little whisper but man she's so amazing she is the star the thing as far as i'm concerned this guy is just a of a piece of dust on the wind without her um supporting him and helping me and stuff but anyway it's just one of these weird i'm never going to know this story until someone tells it to me kind of stories and i really

liked it um it's it's great and it's only it's like an hour and a half or something like that so It's not like a big series. It's just a single film that's called the Pez Outlaw. That's a great name. Yeah. And it came out last year, 2020. And it also reminded you that like in post-Soviet Europe, things were weird, man. Oh, I'll say, Pez collect you.

Pez collect you in Soviet Russia. But they, but they were, he had some moments where he'd have to like, like, pay huge bribes to these guards just to let him get out of the country with a bag full of Pez dispensers. And it is really odd. It's a very odd little tale, and I loved every second of it. The Pez Outlaw currently streaming on Netflix.

I am, you've really hooked me by bringing up that there's like something that happens in post-Soviet Union Europe because, or Eastern Europe. Because like that is such a fascinating time and place. Oh yeah, for sure. and they get into it, you know, they don't get too into it. It's not like they're going to, this isn't a geopolitical documentary, but, you know,

it's just this sort of thing like a little lawless, a little weird, you know, the guards that were on one side were mainly just there for the bribes, and the guard guards and the other side were actually trying to do their jobs. And when that all fell down, it was like, well, who's, who do you trust and how do you know what to do? And, you know, it's a weird thing. It was a real time. But I found it fascinating.

And the guy, the guy at the center of all this is just a freaking character. weirdo dude who in the end i think is just kind of sweet and nice but boy he had he had a moment in the 90s let's put it that way anyway go check it out uh there's all your list it'll all be up at quicktms dot l i because brian has beautifully been doing doing that while we've been talking so go check it out if you missed any of that that includes you christine get out of luck dot com that's right go check it out uh fantastic i hope you guys have a great week you have anything fun plan. Nicole, you do anything cool this week? Anything fun? We have a water softener company coming to

help us with some hard water. I'm so jealous. I've been one to have one of those come to our house for a while, too. Oh, it's so much fun. You got to soften that water, man. Please share it on TikTok or Insta. Yes. We had to do that because we had a bunch of pipes go weird and we ended up having to do it. So, good luck with that, I guess. I don't like soft water. I don't like soft water. either. It takes forever to get soap on. It's slimy. Yeah, it feels slimy.

Yeah. Yeah. You feel like you just got shot out the back of a xenomor for something. It's gross. Maybe not quite that, but it's there. It's up there. Don't give away my recommendal next week, Scott. Come on. I know, right? But I want you both to have a great week. Stay out of trouble. Eat all your vittles and your weedies. And we'll see you next time. There they go. Into the mist. Brian, into the mist. They go. into the C, you and me. Let's end this thing with an email. This is great, because we finally got an answer on this whole weed delivery thing, you know, the DoorDash and all that.

Sierra wrote in and says, hey, scoot and boogie, whenever I can boot scoot in my way down to the weed store, I simply order out, or when I can't, rather, I simply order out. You have to be registered on their website where you upload a photo of your ID, etc. and then they check your ID when they deliver it and you have to sign for it. Buy limits of one ounce per person per day per week per month are common in most states

which would doubly complicate third party delivery. My closest dispensary is 30 miles. Geez. Boy, you really need your weed. They're going to have to drive. And they even delivered to me all the way out here. For perspective, I can't even get a pizza delivered here where I live, but I can get an ounce of sticky green weed brought to my front door.

Gotta love Northern California. Smoke the bowl, though. Sierra. I love it. Feel like Sierra is living their best life right now or something. For sure. Yeah, so I mean, that's the, that's the thing. It's got to be, you can't do a door dash or there's so much regulation and so much confirmation that would have to be done. You'd have to upload your ID to DoorDash. They'd have to confirm it, that sort of thing. Yeah, and they don't want to, I don't think DoorDash, they already assume a lot of a liability. I don't think they want the extra liability that you have at this.

That may change over time. Maybe. Things loosen up. It's a little less weird, you know? Sierra, are you getting it from Oregon? Is that the deal like Yeah, 30 miles away could be Oregon at that point. 30 miles away, yeah. The, uh, was I going to say? Uh, I assume the same thing holds

for booze. If somebody wanted to order a big thing of scotch from a liquor store, you probably can't use DoorDash for that. Probably not. Yeah. I assume. Yeah, that's interesting. I don't actually know. There's got to be places that deliver it, but I, for whatever reason, can't think of a place around me, a liquor store around me that delivers it.

You can get the curbside stuff if you're still, you know, you want to do the avoiding contact kind of thing. But I'm sure, I'm sure there's a liquor store. There's liquor stores around me that deliver. I just don't know. Well, if you... Oh, Drisly. Of course. Yeah, there's like Drisley and there are third parties, third party apps that do.

that, right. That is specific alcohol delivery? Specific to alcohol. Interesting. Okay. Yeah. How do they enforce age thing? I did, I did, uh, advertising emails for, for one of these companies. It might have been drizzly. I can't remember who it was. How do they deal with age limits and stuff? Like how they, they, they basically check your ID when they deliver. So they can't do like, leave it on the doorstep, bring the doorbell and dash. It's got to be like, yeah. Gotcha. They need you to be there. Somebody, somebody of age has to be there to accept the delivery. Okay. That's interesting. Yeah.

Well, there you go. If you have thoughts on this or anything else, always use our email address, you guys. FilmSack. FilmSack. What the hell is our address? The morning stream at gmail.com. We had two of us.

So get over there, get your tickets, get in now while you can. You'll be all set if you're like, yeah, go ahead. And I was reminded by Bernadette, who called me Brain, that please, when you book your hotel at the plaza, please use the coupon code or use the room, the group code. It's not to save you any money. Prices are going to be pretty close to the same, whether you use the code or not. However, By using the code, you help guarantee that we get things like the ballroom for free and access to the sand dollar and things like that. So make sure you use the group code, which is at VivaTMSVegas.com.

Yep. And the room rates for our week are really good, really low. Yeah. We locked ours in. I was a little surprised that there is. Yeah, I still need to lock mine in. I'm pulling the Scott. Like, we're going to show up there and be like, oh, I forgot to actually book my room.

Well, it looks like I'm staying at the Four Queens. Sorry. Yeah, that's how it goes. We've switched to, we've done a freaky Friday on that one point this year. That's right, exactly. Usually, there have been years, I mean, let's never forget 2018 where I thought I had a room all set because I was dumb and I got there and there wasn't. And poor Brian was like scrambling. I didn't lift, like texting back and forth with you.

I think we're on this, Tina and I're on this trip. We're going someplace meeting somebody for dinner or something, maybe Tanner. And I'm texting back and forth with you and saying, yeah, no, I didn't book your hook. tell you have to do that yourself. I don't know why I had it my head. Brian had all this stuff done. That was the year I thought, well, I guess I almost thought I was going to stay somewhere else, but it worked out.

They took care of us there. They know they're very nice. They love that. They absolutely love us. Like Bernadette totally, Bernadette who calls me brain, totally loves us there at the plaza and they look forward to our visit every year now. You know why they love us? It's because same reason

Snowbird loved us for Nurtacular. We are not weird German businessmen that come in and wreck the place and drink ourselves to death. We are nice and respectful and we don't trash the rooms and we're not. And they love us also because we walk around in these weird matching pizza is beautiful t-shirts that we got from some mysterious place. Right. Chat room's over here going, you're a big boy.

No, it's not that. I misunderstood. I misunderstood and thought Brian had some deal where he had to be the one that registered the room. It wasn't that I was like, oh, I don't know what I'm doing. doing. I've never registered. It's not that. I just had it in my head wrong. And it all worked out in the end. All right. In fact, we got an upgrade, I think, for free while we were there because they were short on rooms. But anyway, that's right. Yeah, we got one last year. I don't know if I'm

getting one this year, unfortunately. Probably not us. For Taskville, but that's a whole separate. I kind of need one for the swag, but I don't think we did either. It'll be enough. Who needs a bed to sleep on? You know, that's what I always say. Anyway, that's it for today's show. Thank you all for listening we're going to have one tomorrow i just got word today windy will be in chicago tomorrow so we will not be having windy this is last kind of last minute she's taking her husband there for a deal she got on tickets for seeing um wait wait don't tell me live oh really oh nice she loves that show i like it as well i wish i could be in a room with carl castle get out well he died but uh oh she's she's going to be in the room with a ghost of carl castle get out

What do you have? Well, it's Claire's birthday. day to day, and she was too late to give me a request. So, we're going to hear from Joe Uncool and Dan, Dan, the Tabletop Man, because they were smart enough to send this request in on January 6th, unlike Claire, who sent hers in day before yesterday. Hello, Sy, what is this, Sildenafel and Benzapril. Oh, some pills.

Some pills. Dan and I voted that there isn't enough broken peach on the show. To remedy this problem, we are prescribing YMCA by Brow. broken peach just as soon as you have an open date does scott still have cat and chicken porn on his device party on dude sign joan cool and dan dan the well i don't think i ever had it on my device but i do have on my computer a file about chicken porn and i will now play it hold on this is from wendy years ago now 2014 september 11th 2014 never forget wendy said this cat and chicken porn there you go nice yeah oh happy birthday also to uh

I can't even tell what I'm looking at there. She sent you a photo? Anyway, let's get to this request. YMCA by Broken Peach. This was a single that they released in 2022. Of course, a cover of the song by the Village People. Listen, if you have not watched a Broken Peach video,

you should probably stop what you're doing and just go watch the video for YMCA because these performers, there's seven of them, three dudes who play the instruments, and then four women in the front who do all the singing and harmonies and stuff like that, but also have the weirdest body movements and dancing and facial expressions and makeup and all that stuff.

Go watch the video while you listen to this. Here is YMCA by Broken Peach. All right. That sounds great to me. I'll see you guys tomorrow for another episode of TMS. There's no need to feel down I say, you're man Pick yourself on the ground
