Starting point is 00:00:00 Coming up on TMS, poking the parking lot bear. Predator v. Shrek. Tell Alexa what you want, what you really, really want, and she'll obey you seven out of ten times. 62% chance he did that because he has a Mercedes. It's a long one. Back in or pull out. What, pray tell, is an ass sentinel. Pick a number between five and ten.
Starting point is 00:00:18 26! He is one of many a-holes. And you can Anne Rice! How's your pull-through game? Jackie Earl Haley Joel Osmit. Oh, Cutfoot McLean. Finding Mom's Porn. Set it and keep fiddling with it.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Always listen to Rupal. AI gaslighting with Tom. Buttering your coma toast with Nicole and Randy and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. The 1860s was a decade in which one of the most terrible civil wars in history was to begin and end. But far from the bloody fields of Gettysburg and Shiloh, changes which were to alter forever the face of the American West had already begun. We thought you was a toad. The morning stream. Hey, don't shoot.
Starting point is 00:01:17 We're peaceful. Honest to God, all right? Hello, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Wednesday, February 8th, 2023. I'm Scott, and that's Brian. Hello to you, Scott. You know, I just realize our chat room never gets to see. Usually when the music starts, Brian, because he's a musical guy. He can't help the guy like boogie a little bit. I do. I always like to dance to the opening themes, no matter which one it is, whether it's both Schwartz or the... Sure. Even our mid-show thing. He'll boogie to that sometimes.
Starting point is 00:02:00 That one. Yep. And you guys don't get to see it because we have a little holder screen up and they don't see it. Just for Scott. Yeah. Scott's the only one. I always manage to put all my clothes back on before he turns my camera on. That's great.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Well, from the waist up anyway. It's fine. Well, yeah. Yeah. Oh, no. Don't make me get anything from back there today, Scott. Hey, Brian. Let's take a closer look at that mini-fig Marvel thing.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Anyway, it's nice to have you all here. Thank you for joining us. We're here, and we've got stuff to talk about. Most of you guys have stuff to talk about. I've been getting a crazy amount of voicemails lately, which we've been asking for, so that makes sense, I guess. Good. And we got an important one here from somebody who just,
Starting point is 00:02:42 I think they've just shown their true fandom to all things, TMS and Frog Pants, and I just want to share what this guy said. So this comes from, let's see if I can find where I put the dude. There he is. Guy who got a tattoo, and I'll let him explain. What's up, Scott and Brian, Ian from San Diego. uh this one's for the morning stream uh yeah a while back i sent in a picture of my tattoo a really stupid dad joke that scott mentioned on the show he said uh if you get a thermus tattooed on you
Starting point is 00:03:14 is that your thermos tat and so i got a thermos tattooed on me um it's on my ankle i'll send you guys a picture if you want to see it i joke with my kids all the time i have two daughters that it's the only of my 500 tattoos that they're not allowed to touch. Anyway, Brian, Bill Bees, love you, Pee-Boo's, shake your run, though. See ya. Love it. Love you Pee-Poo's, he says. That's awesome, and I would like to see a photo of this.
Starting point is 00:03:45 That would be great. I'm curious about why it's the only tattoo of his 500 that his daughters aren't allowed to touch. Is that what he said? Yeah, because he said it's on the back of his calf, so it's not like in some weird, you know, weird place. It's not in a swimsuit place or something. Right, exactly. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:02 We need more explanation about that, but also a photo would be nice. I think that's amazing, and I would love to see your time. Oh, geez, of course. Don't touch the thermostat. Now I get it. Oh, shit. Thanks, Dr. Calhoun. Gosh, dang it.
Starting point is 00:04:14 He's right. Dr. Calhoun saved the day. That is exactly it. Yeah. How did we not see that coming down the street? I don't know how we, yeah, yeah. We claim to be quality morning podcasters. What is this?
Starting point is 00:04:26 horrible man that's amazing i'm actually the one who doesn't touch the thermostat in this house tina sets the uh the temperature even though we have one of these automatic it's not nest but it's one made by uh carrier that works with our works apparently better with our setup uh and it's automatic i'm fine just letting it be letting it do its thing oh it's cold great guess what it's warming things up oh it's it's warm oh it's cooling things off it's fine yeah Tina feels like she needs needs to go there and like, I need to make it one degree cooler, I need to make it one degree warmer. That means she doesn't trust the technology and trust the computer to get her right.
Starting point is 00:05:07 No, she, that's, and that's a common thing with her. Yeah. She's, uh, she's skeptical. I get it. Skepticism is a healthy thing occasionally, you know, you got to, you got to, you got to, you know. But when you're married to me, who has technology and has echoes all over the place that, that, uh, that, uh, that all you have do is tell it what you want and seven times out of ten it does the thing that you want it to do she still does a lot of things manually it doesn't doesn't trust the tech well here's my problem
Starting point is 00:05:37 similar issue kim controls the thermostat 100% in this house but it's an echo be automatic all kinds of auto functions right like yours it's a you can kind of just do its thing here's the problem she micromanages it when she okay she'll see's like Well, tonight it's going to be 42 degrees, so I'm going to put that thing at a much lower thing that I would normally because then it'll be a nice cool, cool air, whatever. Like, it always has a reason why she does it, but she's still also tweaking with it all the time. And I think the whole idea of this thing is set it and forget it. Yeah, I think so. Exactly. And if she, you know, if she wanted to be a cool temperature a night while you guys are sleeping, then set it to be a cool temperature.
Starting point is 00:06:23 At night. Yeah. get into the app and just set like the evening temperatures to be cooler it's it's sad that these things aren't like tic-tok and they learn like oh you do this at this time and you do this and like figure out your yeah do an algorithm based on behavior algorithm yeah exactly here's the other thing too like uh in the summer i'm calling her out a little bit on this in the summer uh she she's like well i'm gonna have it at 80 i'm like honey why don't you put it 72 and it's like indoor proper indoor temperature. She's like, well, I don't want the air conditioner to work so hard.
Starting point is 00:06:58 And I said, well, no, it only has to work hard once to get to where it needs to be, and then it maintains. So it's on and off until, it's on while at 72 and it's creeping up. So, oh, we're on now for air conditioning. Okay, oh, it's 72 again. Okay, we're off for a while until the temperature rises again. Yeah. The same exact thing happens at 80. So if it's 80 degrees, you know, if it's 100 degrees outside. As soon as it hits 80, it'll kick on. Or 81, it'll kick on. And then when it goes back down to 80, it'll turn off again. Identical behavior. You just set the number where you want it to be. It's not going to work any harder. Unless, I guess, if you started it at 3 o'clock in the afternoon at the hottest point of the day and then said, well, I'm going all the way back to 72, baby. It's currently 90 in the house. Well, that's the question. If you want it to be, oh, so never mind, it's going to just take itself back down to 80. Yeah. I guess. take it. It'll just sit there and hover. Like, wherever you put it, it stays and hovers. The only place of... What's your ideal temperature? 72. Then just set it so that stays at 72 and it'll go, once it hits 73, burr, down to 72 and it'll stop. Yeah. And if you hit, if you put it at 80, the same behavior. It's exactly the same except it's hot now in the house.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Yeah. That's the only difference. I cannot convince her otherwise. It doesn't matter what I say about that one. And look, we've got, Kim and I have an amazing marriage. We're happy all the time. No infighting. It's all good. But when it comes to that third. thermostat. Boy, does that stereotype hold? Woo, boy. Except it's usually the dad, so. She's just as, Tina's just as bad in the car with it, too. Like I have, in my Kia Soul, there's a button marked auto.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I set it to the temperature I want. And let's say, oh, you know, it's set to 70 or 69, 71 right around there. It's a little too cold. I'll turn it up one little notch. And then it'll be 71, and it'll be fine, right? Yeah. She's like, brie, up to 73. then brr, down to 67, then brie, up to 73.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I like the sound. Yeah, that's the sound that makes when she turning the knob three clicks is really, freaking F1 race. I love it. The thing is like, oh, and for anyone living in somewhere other than the U.S. in England, we don't know what your space points are for this. We're not going to figure out. Yeah, we, it's, it's, we don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Yeah. When we say 72, you say 30 something. don't know what you say whatever you say and as we've said before we'd much rather use your your space points if the whole world agreed on the space points we'd much rather agree to your space points oh yeah and i know the uk has the freaking celsius i get it i know but they're weird over there because they just they're like stuck in the middle they still do miles yeah but they'll do some they'll do some metric over here a little bit of my mileage uh what they call that what's the old one the king's uh version what do we do inches uh it's called um you
Starting point is 00:09:50 Oh, jeez. Imperial. Imperial. I was going to say Unitarian. What the hell on that come from? Yeah, it's Unitarian. Jeez. Non-denominational. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:09:58 But anyway, so anyway, my point is we love you people and we're not trying to leave you out by talking. No, not at all. Like you said, I'd prefer Celsius. Were you talking Kelvin when you were talking the space points? You know what? Always, when I'm talking Kelvin, I'm talking space points. And also I'm talking when I say Microsoft, what do you call? Shit.
Starting point is 00:10:19 What are those calls? I used to have, I used to call Microsoft Space Points. I forgot they were called. Oh, that, yeah, I don't know that. It's gotten away from me. Clippies. They're called Clippies. I have four Clippies.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Will you trade me one of your Unitarian Space Points? Anyway, so there's that. We got one other call, and this one is an ethical question that only we can answer, I think. We've had enough discussions on the show about parking lots. I feel like we have some expertise in the area. Yeah. You know, and I know you're going to have a thought on this, because of all the people I know, you're a pretty conscientious driver. I spent a lot of time in parking lots, Scott.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Yeah, yeah, lots of time. I'm a very conscientious driver, however. I think every other driver on the road is on drugs. Yeah, that's true. That is the, that is me practicing for when I'm 70, and everybody's on drugs driving. Going pretty well so far. I love it. All right, so here's that call and question.
Starting point is 00:11:20 This is something that's been bugging me, and maybe it's in it's a little bit of argument between my wife and myself. I call it parking lot etiquette. So you pull into a parking lot and you've got aisles. Pause it for a second. Yeah. And we'll have to back up a little bit. He sounds a little bit like young Ron Swanson. Oh, my Lord, he does kind of now.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Yeah. Let's back up a little bit. Just back up at a tiny bed. Here we go. Give it between my wife and myself. I call it parking lot etiquette. He's like a high, like a faster speaking Ron Swanson. wants him. Yes, exactly. A little hot like a little parking lot etiquette you have. Yeah, it's like
Starting point is 00:11:55 he's on 1.5 on the podcast players. What he's at? That's right. Yeah, exactly. All right, here we go. So you pull into a parking lot and you've got aisles and you've got spaces that you pull into. Um, lately I've seen a lot of people that pull into the space and then they pull through so they're facing out on the opposite side. Myself, I pull in. I stop at the side. I'm supposed to pull it, you know, stop there. And then when I leave, I back out. and I pull away. My problem is sometimes I'm going down the aisle and I go to pull in and somebody from the other side is pulling through and then I can do like a bumper to bumper little nudge. So question to you, if you want to take it up as a conversation, how should this be settled?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Should you just pull in or should be pulling through or maybe even some people back into a parking spot? I know it's easier to pull out, but I don't know. It's been bugging me and when I see people do it, it bothers me so uh chuck b 63 on uh twitter is who i am and uh i'll be listening if you want to talk about it thanks okay so oh it's such a good question yeah it's really good we've never talked about it either which is funny because we talked about all inane day life things on the show but yes exactly this never come up so give me your give me your hot take brian where you go first and foremost if you're like our king super's parking lot has the rose are one way and um uh you know you you, that's because the spaces are a little bit angled.
Starting point is 00:13:22 So in cases like that, even though the angle goes through to the other side, that means if you do the pull through, you have to make a sharper turn to get, to be facing the right way. So never, never, uh, uh, on the angled parking do you go all the way through. That's bad. All right. I get it. If, if a spot is open on the other side, uh, I say pull. through. I'm totally fine with the pull through and then you're facing out. I'm not, I don't do
Starting point is 00:13:53 the whole back-in parking. I don't think, I think the only time I ever do that is if I'm parking up like Red Rocks where I know that there's going to be a lot of traffic all at the same time everybody trying to get out at the same time, then I will do the back-in so that when that row is full of people and somebody's nice enough to let me out, I don't have to like try to navigate backwards to get in front of them to go forwards again. I'd much rather pull forward and join the flow of traffic. Sure, sure. Now, as much as I'm a fan of the pull through,
Starting point is 00:14:32 team and I had the experience a few months ago going to a Broncos game, we parked at the light rail parking lot. And it's full, like the parking lot's full, right? It's like, oh my God, where are we going to find a spot? Finally, I see a spot, and I start heading down there, and as I'm turning into it, another car has pulled in to the other side. It's a pull, it's a two spots, you know, both sides are open. They pull in, and they're starting to pull through into my side. I'm about a quarter of the way in.
Starting point is 00:15:07 They're like a quarter of the way into the spot on my side, but they pulled in on the other side. I stared them down, and I did not. budge. I made it clear that I was not, that I was not going to back out and go and try and find something else. It's like, nope, if you back out, we both get a spot. If you, if I let you pull forward, then I'm out of luck and you're, you just have a spot. It's no, not cool. So I, I stayed put, I did not budge and he finally, maybe after, it was like 30 seconds. It seemed like long 30 seconds though, right? Like a long, yeah. And, uh, he realized that I wasn't moving. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:48 He was getting no purchase in this spot. No. So he finally backed up and I pulled all the way in. And then we ended up sitting right next to him on the light rail. No way, dude. I kind of wanted to say, hey, thanks for, I should have said, hey, thanks for backing up and letting me have that spot. I didn't want to go driving around looking for more of the spot. But I figured just in case he was really ticked off at me and, you know, sports ball people can get kind of salty.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Yeah. So we're just like dogs. You've seen that video of that dog where there's a gate And on one side of the gate is a dog going And on the other side of the gate is a dog going And then they pull the gate away And the two dogs just kind of get up next to each other And kind of go
Starting point is 00:16:29 Tails are wagging Yeah, everything's fine And then they put the gate up again And they What you just described is one of those, I think Kind of, yeah, pretty much We're all just creatures of whatever that is All right, so that's a good
Starting point is 00:16:44 Good example. I think you did the right thing, by the way, there. 100%. I would have done that. And it would have been the right thing for him to not force it and try to sit there for 30 seconds. He should have backed out and said, me, and waved and said, okay, not this time. Here's the thing. I have done the pull through, but only in one circumstance will I do that. And that's when you're going to the gym early in the morning or you're some weird time of day or you're at a store that gets barely any traffic. and the parking lot is sporadically filled it best. Like just lots of open slots, you can park anywhere.
Starting point is 00:17:20 You don't really have limits. And so if I see that situation and I'm like, well, it's going to be easier for me to pull out. If I pull through over here, I'll do that because there aren't cars behind me in front of me next to me anywhere. It's just me. I'll do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Oh, yeah. Heck yeah. But if it's a busy parking lot, I can't, I don't feel good about that at all pulling through. And in the converse, I would have done exactly. what the guy did. If I pulled into a spot and I saw somebody who was coming into it from the right way, I would back up, let him have the spot. We both have a parking spot. Right, right. Yeah, I'll pull through if it's available. If there's not other cars, like, if there's not a car coming down the aisle towards the spot I just took, I won't, I won't do the pull through. But if like you say, it's, it's relatively empty, nobody's around. I'll pull, we'll do the pull through. Yeah, absolutely. Now, there's one of the thing I won't do that my friend Andrew did every time he went anywhere. By the way, this is the You Can Eat Rice story guy. This is that Andrew. Sure. Oh, we give that injury.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Yeah. He'll be, if he's driving and we go to the mall, which we did a lot back in the day and we were hanging out all the time. He, without fail, the mall parking lot would have one way only kind of parking. So you go up the one way. If you don't see anything, you can turn around, go around. The other one angled, exactly. They're all angled to be pulled into without fail, regardless of day, time, how busy the mall was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:42 In his fancy Mercedes or whatever the hell he spent too much money on, he absolutely every time went through the wrong way, every time. And I would sit next to him and go, dude, you're going to get, someone's going to finally like pull a shotgun out or something. You're going to piss somebody off. And he's like, what are you even talking about? It's all the same. And I'm like, it's not the same.
Starting point is 00:19:05 You can't. I call it an unwritten rule of courtesy. But it's written. It's written on the ground and the perculent and white. arrows. Yeah, big giant arrows. Some of them freshly painted. You can't avoid them, they say. And when they're pointing at you, that's not them saying, hey, you, come in here. No, they're saying, don't come this way. It's so dumb, dude. And after a while, I'm pretty sure he just did it to annoy me, honestly. I felt like, because he always
Starting point is 00:19:31 wanted to drive. He was like, oh, let me drive. I'm like, okay, fine. And then we get close to the mom, like, you're going to do it again. You're going to do it again. And then he'd pull in. I go, dude, you're doing it again. He's like, oh, come on. It's fine. Look at this parking spot we got a really good one right up next to the thing so playing into the stereotype do you think he did that because he was in a mercedes like if he was in a ford focus would he i know you you think oh no you had a fiesta didn't she i had a well back then i had a what did i have then no i had a honda civic then um i think yeah it's a fun it's a respectable car but in his case was he doing it because of that there's a part of me let's call it a percentage point of
Starting point is 00:20:09 62% chance that, yes, he was doing that because he was in his Mercedes. I mean, it could also be, like, less that he did it because he had a Mercedes, but he had the Mercedes and did that because he was that kind of guy. Yeah. Instead of it branching off the decision tree from the, he has a Mercedes, therefore he does this, take it back one level two, he is this type of person. Therefore, two branching aspects. Yep.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I have a Mercedes and I drive the wrong way. No, that's, I can't argue with that. That's actually true. and the thing is I love Andrew if he's listening you're the best of friends for life
Starting point is 00:20:45 but he he would do stuff like this he's the kind of guy that would get in an HOV lane with his pregnant wife so that if he got pulled over he could claim
Starting point is 00:20:54 there were three people in the car or whatever it is but you know just think of a thing like that and he would come up with like a plan to get it done and then smile the whole time he's doing it so just the kind of guy he was anyway but we both had
Starting point is 00:21:08 we both had an undying love of electronic music. So that's what brought us together, even though we drove very differently. Anyway, uh, well, thanks for the calls, guys. We love these. 801-471-0462. Keep these coming. That phone number is always there for you. If you want to leave us a voicemail, got a couple more, uh, queued up for tomorrow.

It's, uh, it's, uh, it's, you call now, but we won't answer now. That's right. We'll answer an R now. But you call now.
Starting point is 00:21:41 What do we call it when we started using TiVos and then streaming came? We had a word for this. It was time shifted. Yeah, we like your time shifted call now is what it is.

Starting point is 00:23:08 parking lots and tattoos yeah would you do you pull through mr south carolina uh driver man do you pull through when uh you know when you're getting a parking space let me tell you my least favorite place in the world to drive yeah parking lot yeah yeah yeah well yeah i had a feeling i had a feeling i don't i very rarely pull through but if i have to i will um people around i don't know how it is where you live but when it comes to parking lot people seem to think that it's mad max time. No kidding. It isn't every man for themselves kind of situation.
Starting point is 00:23:44 It really is. It's like, this isn't the regular road. I can do whatever I want. No rules apply here. Yeah, not to you. Not to you. That's right. If you're coming, if you're coming through the parking lot going 50,
Starting point is 00:23:58 which I don't know why you are, but you are for some reason. And I'm in a dead standstill. And I can't see anything because I'm a person who is back and out of a parking spot and I can't see nothing, or if I'm pulling forward, because everybody around me drives SUVs. I have a normal size car. Everybody else has got like big monster truck cars, so I can't see
Starting point is 00:24:17 around them. So I'm going like three miles per hour. I can't see. You have a straight lane shot. You can see everything. But then you get mad at me when I try to creep out a little bit and lay on the horn. I'm like dude, I can't see yet.
Starting point is 00:24:34 How about you not be an ass and just go, oh, hello, third person, come through. Yeah, but I think we've poked the bear. We have. I think we've found, we found Tony's Achilles heel. Yeah, I didn't know you're... I get so mad in parking lots.
Starting point is 00:24:49 I didn't know your cryptonite was involved in parking. They pay paradise and they put in a parking lot and I hate it. Yeah, I feel you. Well, let's find out what else they pay paradise with. One, Tilly, welcome to the show. You were number three today. How do you feel being number three? Hello?
Starting point is 00:25:08 Oh, hi. Three is weird. Three is fantastic. I don't know, man. Everything's better than threes. You jump on Bowser three times. That's how you get them. You Zelda does this or Link does this all the time with Gannon Dorf or Gannon or whoever he's fighting.
Starting point is 00:25:25 But it's also a crowd I've heard. Well, but it can be company if you're the show that preceded the crowd. That's right. And then the landlord will think you're up to something all the time. Boy, you really. He's not wrong with that pastel shirt says so. That's right. It's a flowery shirt, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:25:43 Well, I'm glad you're here. It's a, mine is a, it's a, it's a, it's a pink, pink setanil. With a hot silyck next to it saying mutant beach party. Are they traditionally pink in the comics? They are, right? It's like, it's like, it's that kind of Jack Kirby, purpley pink. Yeah. Yeah, with that cool cloud business he would put behind them and stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:08 one over there. I don't have one super handy, but I've got one right there. Wait, you have a figure, like a little fig unit? Oh, not little. It's a big, it's a big ass sentinel. Oh, I want a life's Oh, my. Oh. I want a man size or even like a child size Sentinel.
Starting point is 00:26:23 You know, tell you what, during the song break, I'll grab it and show it to you over the video here. Okay, this is the stuff I collect from now on, I want them to be large versions. So if I get any more action figures, they got to be that big. That's what I want. Sure. Yeah, it makes sense.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Screw these little ones. Nobody wants that. What? Craytail is an ass sentinel. An ass sentinel? Yeah. Ass sentinel? That's a guy keeping track of your ass.
Starting point is 00:26:47 You know? That's right. It's instead of X-Men, it hunts ass men. Oh, okay. Cramer's. Okay. Hunting Cramer's all day long. Let me ax me and you a question.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Yeah. There you go. Hey, Brian Ibbott, why don't you explain these rules so that both Talley and the listening audience knows what's going on here. Sure. Ooh, I've got a little bishop down there. Hey, it's time to play the tad. fully feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Brian will have to
Starting point is 00:27:11 predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Now, Talley, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian, and if your team wins, you will get a prize package that includes. Backbone, not the device, but a game called Backbone, and Toem. T-O-E-M-T-O-E-M. Oh, Toeim's good. Tomé. Yeah. Yeah, make sure that's the one I'm thinking it is. It's a really cool game that I have in my library.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Oh, yeah, it's weird. Do you write poems with Mr. T? Is that what Toem is? My memory is this is, this reviewed pretty well, too. Let me just make sure this is what I think it is. Yeah, this got like an eight or nine on IGN. It's a good game. It's very cool.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Yeah, kind of retro and weird. I like it a lot. Well, Talley those can be yours, but to do that, we have to get you on a side, and to figure out whose side you're going to be on. we have to get the game started. So let's get the game started. Put your hands on your buzzers.
Starting point is 00:28:11 We asked 511 tadpoolers the following question, and one of them didn't even pass. They just put a hyphen. They just put a little dash as their answer. Like, I'm not too lazy to even type the word pass. I'm just going to go and move on to the next question. We're calling whoever that is hyphen from now on. Lame.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Exactly. Hyphen. The good news is that everybody else, 510 people, had an answer for this. and it's a good one. Now, before I even tell you the question, I'm going to preface this as I do from time to time with, it doesn't matter how accurate the answers are.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It matters what the temple said. Okay. No, I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Put your hands on your buzzards and give me your answer to this. Name a movie franchise that has between five and ten installments. Scott.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Star Wars All right Did the Tadpool say Star Wars Yeah they do That's the number one answer Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:29:14 Now if you count just the Skywalker saga And you don't count Clone Wars and solo As part of the Skywalker saga Which I guess you don't have to And it's nine movies Yeah nine total movies
Starting point is 00:29:28 Which is still between five and ten right? It's still between five and ten Yeah but once you throw that's what I'm saying, it's still in that sweet song, but if you include Rogue One and everything like Skadwarker's like Solo, Rogue One and Clone Wars, then it's 12.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Don't forget the Ewox. I appreciate, oh yeah, don't forget EWalk Christmas special. I actually appreciate the, um, uh, sorry, Life Day special. I appreciate the clarification because this is going to determine a lot of what we do here, Talley. So, uh, this is good. Uh, all right. Uh, all right. So number one, that means you
Starting point is 00:29:57 automatically get Talley. She will help you with answers. All right. Talley, I'm, I'm putting my faith in you. Yeah, Life Day, by the way, was the Wickees. Caravan. Oh, was it a Wookie. Shit. Yes. I just get those mixed up.
Starting point is 00:30:09 They're both bad. They are both bad. But what was the EWalk one? That was for... It was just... It was not a Christmas special. It was just a made-for-TV movies starring the E-Wox. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Their cartoon was real bad. I remember that. Yeah, I also didn't count TV movies and any of this stuff, so... Oh, good. All right, no, I actually helps. Talley, anything jumping out in your head? Well, uh... Brian is like Rupal, where if the host tells you something, you pay attention to it.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Oh, I thought you meant he is a drag queen, but I'm not allowed to talk about that. I do frequently tell Scott that you better work. Yeah, both could be true. Yeah, both could be true. Brian can do whatever he wants in his parking lots. That's right. You know what I mean. The library is open.
Starting point is 00:30:55 There are more than 10. Yeah. Well, and reading is fundamental. Sure. Um, but there are more than 10, but I have a feeling that had well, did say Star Trek, because after Nemesis, it was, oh, good point. They stopped counting. I'll bet you're right.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Well, well, after Nemesis, they rebooted it. So if you could say it's Star Trek, the non-Kelvin timeline. Yeah, that's true. And it's always an opportunity when someone has a nemesis for me to mention that I really like nemesis and it's overlooked. People should watch Nemesis. It's fantastic. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:27 So, yeah, we'll go Star Trek. Let's do that one. All right. Okay. Show me Star Trek. Number five, yeah. Tal, you've got it exactly right. Six original series movies, four TNG movies, and then four Kelvin.
Starting point is 00:31:42 So if you just count TOS and TNG, you've got 10. Wait, four Kelvin. Four Kelvin. Hold on. You got, no, I thought they're only three. Only three? Why did it come up? Let me, because now it does feel like that's right.
Starting point is 00:31:56 She's right. It's like a into dark, no. the first one into darkness and then the one with the cool lady Star Trek Beyond. Yeah, which is the best one by the way and I'll die with those words of my mouth. I love that one. Oh, I want to make sure you know. Why did it come up? That's really weird.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Why did it come up as, is there something in development? There is one. Star Trek 4, yeah, to be announced, TBA. Yeah, I don't know if that was. I glanced and I counted 4, but yeah, into darkness beyond and then Star Trek 4. I'm sneaky feeling that thing's never going to happen, but I think right now it's still on the on tap so it's pretty sneaky sis uh how do you feel like how do you feel like james bond tally is that all right to say but are there more than 10 there are but again tadpool right like tadpool you know
Starting point is 00:32:43 what is their brain i don't even think the tadpool is that weird oh i guess i should shut up paid attention to the numbers though you know what i mean like i'm just going off that brian let's say it all right let's do it bond okay all right saying bond james bond Show me how shaken and stirred the Tadpool is. Yeah, yeah, 25 movies, if you don't count, never say never again, which you should never count. And the original David Niven Casino Royale. Man, I want to know how all these people did on their SATs in the math portion. I know, yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Thank God, movies is probably on the top. Yeah, 16 people thought that there were between five and ten James Bond films. All right, well, that helps inform us a little bit, I think. Um, anything jumping there, Talley? I don't know. Oh, um, Fast and Furious. Oh, yeah, shit, duh. That's a really good one.
Starting point is 00:33:38 That's a really good one. Oh, yeah, shit, duh. That's my favorite line of the day. Oh, yeah, should, duh, shit, duh. Yeah, let's do it. It's family. All right, show me the Fast and the Furious. Yep, exactly 10 films until Fast 11 comes out.
Starting point is 00:33:53 What's that one called, anyway, the new one? F11. F11. Well, you told so much In the beginning of this, it's fast and furious with two eyes, two capital eyes in the middle of Furious. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Yeah, that's what I love when they do that. Like, when fear was three, for three-er, that's the best. Fear three. All right. So, oh, geez. Seventh. How do we feel about,
Starting point is 00:34:23 I wonder if people would have, lumped Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit's shit together or not. And that gives you six. Just barely over five. Is that bad? Is that a bad idea? I don't know. I think it is a bad idea, but Yolo, go with it.
Starting point is 00:34:42 All right, Yolo. You only live once. Let's do it. Woo! All right. Show me the Middle Earth Septology. Sextology. Yeah, number four. none of these feel right but they're all working this is great that one that one i feel pretty good about i mean
Starting point is 00:35:01 you know the the six films the three two trilogies i'm fine with that yeah it fits it's just it's just well whatever those hobbit movies are so bad sure um okay i shouldn't say that they're not that bad but they're not lord of the rings level that's all i mean uh let's uh let's go with tally here anything that i'm not thinking of here. My brain just went down. I'm thinking of horror franchises. Oh, that's a good idea. We have horror fans.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Dream comes to mind. There's Friday the 13th. I don't want to get. Wait, I'm giving Dunnaway. You don't give him shit. Keep rolling them out, man. I'm writing them down fast. I can't lose Friday 13th. You know what? I feel like Friday the 13th probably a strong contender, though, because yeah, yeah, let's go with that one. Let's do that.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Friday the 13th, Brian. All right, Friday of 13th, let's see it. oh man technically 12 Friday the 13th movies and even the tadpool knows that yeah right exactly not that that stopped right not that stopped anybody before I'm for making the top 10 but yeah there's there's 12 and uh Monica even like in her that was her response to the the feud survey and she made sure to put Friday 13 this is wicked by the way oh like we wouldn't have been able to tell. The host of Gore should know.
Starting point is 00:36:26 There's 12 Friday the 13th movies. Is there something weird that's getting counted there? Was New Nightmare in Canon or no? I mean, literally they say they, you know, it's. Oh, no, you know what? I'll tell you that New Nightmare is not part of the Friday the 13th. I mean, there's, there's Jason X. I mean, that's 10.
Starting point is 00:36:43 So if you think there's any more Jason movies, there's definitely more than 10. Well, also, I don't think the nightmare, the one that's new with, newish 2010 or whatever with Haley, not Haley Joel Osmond, the other guy with three names. Jack Yerall Hayley. Yeah. I don't think you count that.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Still thinking that's part of the Jason where he's set of a movie. Oh, you're saying Friday 3rd. I keep thinking we're talking about Nightmare and Omstreet. I keep Nightmare and Ombudsree and never left. No, definitely not counting new nightmare as part of the Friday of the 13 franchise. Yeah, I'm
Starting point is 00:37:16 I'm mixing films here. All right. Well then, then Brian. Now it's over to Brian. Brian, got some guesses. What do you think? I don't know the tadpool at all anymore, but I do know that if I was to say something stupid, I would say the Terminator series. That is stupid.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Make sure it's an Rion there. That is stupid, but I like it. That's not stupid at all. All right. Terminators. Sure. Sure. Show me.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Terminator. Come on. Well, there's only, what, four? Four? Was there a fifth Terminator? No, there was. Yeah, there was a fifth Terminator, the one that brought back. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Linda Hamilton came back for it. Yeah. That's a good, that is a good. That was my bad. I was going with factual instead of... 19th place. By the way, 19th place in the list. So people did say Terminator just not enough of them.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I should have just said dash. Dang it. All right. You should have said dash. You know, at least one person said that. What if we said, uh, so I'm, Hold on One, two, three, four
Starting point is 00:38:24 I don't think anyone picked it I'm gonna suggest alien or aliens Talley, is that crazy? Okay, you like it? That was my other guess but yeah, I should have went with aliens. All right, let's do aliens. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Because you got the Prometheus and the whatnot. Yeah, sorry. Sure. Show me alien. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't be a fist in there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Eight films if you count the versus Predator films. as well as Prometheus and Covenant. Yeah, and I can't wait for David. Is David still happening? You don't even have to. I hope David's still happening. I want to see that.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I want to see that soon up. Oh, yeah. Because I like those last two. I know people are twisted on that, but I thought Prometheus and Covenant were rad. Yep. And with that, by the way, that locks in the win for a tally,
Starting point is 00:39:11 so she's going to do those prizes. Come on. Even if Brian gets all four of the remaining answers, and that means Scott has to lose this one. This one. Listen, jump done away. It's important. If she wins, you just walk away.
Starting point is 00:39:23 All right? You walk away. There's still four answers on the board. What the time is saying? I'm actually pulling for a tally. Thank you very much. I know you are. You always do.
Starting point is 00:39:34 You always do. I was going to say Indiana Jones, because I think people might have said it, even though the fifth is not quite out. Since the fifth is on the bubble to be released. It's in final production. So I have a feeling. that's happening sooner.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Because it's happening, people will put it in their head. Yeah, absolutely. All right, let's go with it. Show me Indiana Jones. I had no choice in that whatsoever, did I? It's because you've already won.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Telly, do you want to win or not? Yeah, you want to, you know, she's already won. Yeah, go for it. She's already won. She's got this, yeah. Show me Indiana Jones.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Ah, boo. That people did say that one, though, and that one was 24th in the list. Okay. All right. so even if the fifth one is good people are still only going to say that there's four vienna jones movies yeah because the fourth forget that even oh my gosh so bad yeah all right three answers or four answers left on the board brian what do you get since since i since i am uh going to lose anyway i might as well take
Starting point is 00:40:35 my losers walk and uh go with um police academy police academy yes okay do do do do do do do do yep all right Let's see if it's on there. Show me those citizens on patrol. Number eight. It's hilarious. I didn't think it was any way to hell. Seven films, one through six, and then mission to Moscow, the unnumbered seven. You know, even as a kid, even as a very young person watching those movies, I could tell even then they went from the first one where Brissard is getting a beege behind.
Starting point is 00:41:16 the freaking podium to the next one and all the rest of them they were like kids movies it was so weird yes yeah yeah so disjointed it's like oh here's here's animal house and then here's animal house junior it was the funkiest bunch of sequels and who who could have predicted that the absence of uh steve guttenberg would send that movie series down a down a dark dark hole yeah the darkest of holes the darkest of holes all right tally uh you want to Oh, wait. Brian, you're still going. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I got it. Tully, I want you to go ahead and guess one. Oh, it's your... All right, go ahead. I'm forgetting what you scratched out on now. Oh, shoot. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:01 You didn't say... You got like seven minutes. I was paying attention, but I've been going through things in my head, and I've totally imbulated them. Did we say Rocky? Did you guys say Rocky? Probably you said Rocky. I'm going on with Rocky.
Starting point is 00:42:14 We didn't say Rocky. We didn't say Rocky. No. All right. All right. Show me Rocky. Yeah, if you count the Creed films, which you should, and the upcoming one coming out this summer, nine total Rocky films.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Do not sleep on those Creed movies. They're good. Yeah. They're very good. I don't know. People probably, they did well enough. They're making a third one. But I feel like people might be like, I don't want to see some weird Rocky spinoff.
Starting point is 00:42:43 No, they're good. They're really good. I won't tally to win because I made it happen. So I'm going to go with, I didn't say Harry Potter. Harry Potter. All right. Harry Potter. Harry Peter.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Did you say Harry Potter? Yeah. Harry's Peter. I'm not telling you if somebody said that or not. No one said Harry's Peter. All right. Show me you're a wizard, Harry. Number three on the list.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Yeah. If you go with just the actual Harry Potter films, eight. You include the Fantastic Beast stuff and there's, what, 11? Is that right? Yeah. Someone, someone likes those beast movies. I did not enjoy them. I've slept. That's, you know, I'm not going to sleep through Creed, but I slept through the both of the Fantastic Beast and then the trial of Grundelberg. I love that you did that. You went to the first, you went to the first one and you went, oh, I fell asleep. Maybe the second one, I'll prove through it. No, nope, fell asleep again. Nope, totally fell asleep. I even saw that.
Starting point is 00:43:44 I did that one for Tina because I really did not care about the Fantastic Beasts. No. I like that Eddie Redmayne, but... Fantastic Beasts and where to take a good nap. Yeah. What did you think about old Cutfoot? What do you think about that guy who did the Nakatomi Towers? We think about that diehard series.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Oh, diehard. Old Cutfoot McLean. Fists with his toes, McLean. I love it. Is that your guess? yes yeah of course it's number seven it's diehard boom i just wanted for you tally you're welcome
Starting point is 00:44:18 yeah let's see if it is show me die hard oh man tied for 10th place i just bumped it off the list i decided not to do the alien slash diehard and if you got either one you'd get the points but yeah uh yeah five films for die hard so fully
Starting point is 00:44:36 funny thing with diehard is the longer that franchise goes the more it actually proved the title yeah right right yeah that's a good point very hard for this franchise to die i'm pretty sure they're done unless they reboot it with different actors and stuff i don't think they're going to do any more oh it totally is uh wadet magic yeah police academy is misspelled in the uh enlist here oh how's it a little yeah it is please a cadam a academy let me tell you a little inside baseball so when i sort the sheets i usually fix the if there's a misspelling i fix it on the first one that comes up
Starting point is 00:45:11 alphabetically, right? I did not see the Police Academy, which would have come first before the accurately spelled ones, and then I just copy that one and paste all the use list. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:45:22 All right. Talley, it's back to us for this final deal. Yeah, what is that last one? What could it be? It feels elusive. Like, uh, and direct to DVD doesn't count.
Starting point is 00:45:33 I'm going to just assume. Does not count. Does not count. I mean, it doesn't. I mean, really what counts is what the tad. The tad pool didn't say it. I will tell you that. I will tell you that.
Starting point is 00:45:41 that the number seven film has six releases and none of which are directed DVD. Oh, that takes, I was thinking Tremors, but I think that takes Tremors out of the running. Yeah. Because Tremors has a lot of directed DVD stuff. Well, isn't it the sixth scream that's coming out? Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Talley's right, six, six, six scream. Scream, it's scream. Show me scream. Oh, Poo! Oh, scream, let's see, scream. I mean, if we're counting what's coming out, then there's another movie for our number seven and then a fall-up movie because it's a two-parter coming out the next year. So 2023 and 24, we'll see a sixth and seventh in this series. Scream came in at number.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Oh, wow, nobody said scream. Kind of surprised about that, actually. I am as well. Shocked by that. All right, done away, take it home. Okay, so I'm seeing a lot of fantasy and sci-fi and stuff in here. So I'm going to say we really haven't visited any of our superhero friends. However, I'm going to let Talley help inside here with either, I'm going to say, incorrectly, the Avengers, or Spider-Man or the X-Men.
Starting point is 00:47:02 What do you think, Talley? I'm going to let you pick from one of those three. What do you think? Because you're picking one of those, which would you say, even if you think they're all wrong? Yeah, I think they're all wrong. um perfect give me one of your answers so I can embarrass you and do my laugh go ahead
Starting point is 00:47:16 let's say Spider-Man Spider-Man Spider-Man, it's the Spider-Vat Telly. Why not? Because if you go Spider-Man, then you've got you know, just Spider-Man, you've got seven films, right? Into the, yeah, you got, yeah. The three Sam Ramey, the three Disney-Fied,
Starting point is 00:47:32 and then the Into the Spider-Verse. Yep, into Spider-Verse. Yep, yeah, that's correct. All right. Show me the Spider-Man. Go! Damn. All right.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I got to know what said it is going to drive me crazy. The tadpool is always hung up on the Avengers when we had these stupid things. I just feel like they would have said something like that. Oh, Chad, you know what? Someone in the chat said Mission Impossible, and if that's going to be it, I'm going to be so irritated with myself. No, that's good too. Yeah, Mission Impossible.
Starting point is 00:47:57 That's a good one. Prepare to be irritated, Scott. God, damn it. Impossible, yeah. Six films, and then the two-parter, one comes out, 2023, and part two, comes out 2024. Oh, that should have seen that as the hint you meant it to be, and I didn't see it. That's all right. That's right. Yeah, the ones that Brian, that's the one that done away suggested were fitting that criteria. That's why I knew they were wrong.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Oh, yeah, you listened more than we did to what Brian said. It's like RuPaul. You listen to RuPaul when RuPaul tells you something. That's right. That's right. Brian, you're earning RuPaul. That's fine. I'll take it. A lot of people still said things like some other good ones in the list Jurassic Park is a good one lots of films in that series eight people did say the Marvel Cinematic Universe which has more films than James Bond 30 before you count
Starting point is 00:48:49 quantum media Halloween Planet of the Apes Pirates of the Caribbean Terminator Land Before Time That's the one I forgot earlier Is Pirates of the Caribbean See land before times a bunch of Well it wasn't on the list so it doesn't matter
Starting point is 00:49:02 But it was that's a bunch of direct to home Direct to Home video Saw Superman Transformers Rambo Batman Boy, I don't know how you count Like I guess you just count the
Starting point is 00:49:17 Tim Burton Into the Schumacher Uh No that's not even enough Tim Burton into the Schumacher No because that's only four That's still just four Yeah
Starting point is 00:49:26 Unless you just stack all the Batman And say it's one franchise I guess yeah Yeah Child's play Final Destination Predator Shrek Underworld
Starting point is 00:49:38 X-Men American Ninja American Pie bring it on Children of the Corn. You know what I'm learning? There's way too many movies with five or more in their series. Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot. Also, I like the, you said Predator Shrek, because you're just reading the list, but I
Starting point is 00:49:53 want to see a movie called Predator Shrek. A Predator versus Shrek. Predator versus Shrek. Yeah, Predator v. Shrek. Yeah, I'm in. I'm all in. Get out of my swamp. Get out of my swamp. I love it. So this is the good news. The good news,
Starting point is 00:50:09 everybody. The good news I'm here to spread in the world. Have you heard the good news? Congratulations. Talley's a winner. That's right. You get these codes. And because both Brian and I have direct access to you via Discord, you'll be having these sent to you immediately. And you'll be able to run off and play these and tell us what you think. Talley, how do you feel about your victory today? I feel pretty good. How do you feel about having a purse to just, you know, close everything out with? Well, let me tell you. Have I ever felt this good? I don't know if I can answer that honestly. Oh my gosh, that's amazing.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Wow. Fantastic. Hey, Dunaway, tonight, play retro. Last night didn't happen. Tonight will happen. We had a little schedule glitch on your end, but it's all good. That happened to me last week. I did, I did.
Starting point is 00:50:55 So two weeks in a row, we had to bump up up. It was my fault. It was my fault. It was my fault the week before. So we both have. That's right. And it was both family things. It was.
Starting point is 00:51:05 That was good. And family takes precedence. Which shows for good family people. That's right. It was both do stuff with our kids, and we always do stuff for our kids. So anyway, tonight we'll be doing it, all right? Tonight, watch for that. What time?
Starting point is 00:51:16 3.30 Mountain Time. That's 5.30 Eastern. 3.30 Mountain time. Right after DT&S, right? Is that right? Pretty much rolls right into it, or about a half an hour. And another note about that was something I was going to say. Oh, and we're doing the wing commander series.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Oh, cool. If you have fond feelings about wing commanders of your, then tonight is your night. Good Lord. I did not know how many people were still hung up on Wing Commander, but holy cow, these people still love this game. Yeah. And I see why. Wing Commander's a big deal, it turns out. So, Brian, that'll be good. I look forward to it. Is there anything else you want to say? Hi, a resin printer will be here, too much. I didn't think he was going to have anything real to say, or I wouldn't have him off, dang it. Sorry. We'll celebrate your resin printer next time, Brian.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Exactly. And Brian, if you're still listening, you know, hit me up when you can. get your resin printer because I've got all the hints and you know telling you how to get things done in there because it's very different. Yeah. Brian stumbled over all that stuff already so lean on him when you're not strong.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Came out clean on the other side except not really. I still had to use plastic gloves and wash myself off with alcohol. Oh goodness gracious. All right well that's fantastic. Let's get out of here with a not out of here. Let's take a break. Okay. Just a break. It's a song break. And when we return,
Starting point is 00:52:38 Tom Merritt will be here, the ever technically inclined Tom Merritt. And, of course, recommendals after that, all that coming up after this song from Brian Abbott. Sure. Well, let's talk about a musician named Brian Christinezio, but he goes by the name BC Camp Light. He's got a brand new album. It's called The Last Rotation of Earth. It comes out May 12th, courtesy of Bella Union Records. Big thanks to them for sending me this track.
Starting point is 00:53:04 This is the title track, and listen, if you like Flaming Lille, lips, maybe even a little, they might be giant's kind of cheeky, fun sounds to your music, then I think you're going to actually dig this a lot. This is BC Camp Light, and the song is The Last Rotation of Earth. You, you missed a hell of a party, You missed a hell of a party, I said to the kitchen floor, great conversation. in our stealing more I got stuff to do
Starting point is 00:54:12 but not enough I'm going to ignore I say hi to Peter the bird we meet by the window and talk about family He goes, how are you doing? I say, haven't you heard?
Starting point is 00:54:42 I'm just hanging around for the last rotation of rain. Lost in the thick of it, up and down, up and down. Head underwater, getting stronger each day. Lost in the thick of it, up and down, Up and down Head under water Getting stronger Stronger
Starting point is 00:55:12 Strong Yeah Yeah I'm I'm Oh What a beautiful morning I say to the Tesco guide
Starting point is 00:55:32 I see my fair share share but there's something about this one because you're okay and looking in the eye we both smile oh get on time to leave people to squeeze but don't shake me no don't shake me I'm dreaming of you to know that I'm dreaming of you to know that I'm If it wasn't for you, it might be much right. And now I'm mixing it all up for the last rotation of it. rotation
Starting point is 00:56:36 It's the last rotation It's the last rotation Salty, this is the world. This is the world. cronyism, nepotism, rascalism. The morning stream, get the baby. And we've returned. Hey, Brian, who was that artist in song?
Starting point is 00:57:59 Sure, that artist and song in that order is B.C. Kemplight and the last rotation of Earth. Oh, I feel like we're on that right now. I sometimes do, yeah. And all that time we had during that whole four-minute, nine-second song, I didn't go get my Sentinel, so we'll have to, you know, have to show it off another time. You know what? Maybe I'll grab it and we'll use
Starting point is 00:58:20 it for the title card, or thumbnail. Oh, that's an, I like that a lot. Let's do that. Yeah. We know what else I like? I like technology, and I like it when it comes out of the mouth of a certain man. With the computer, as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. Yeah, that's right. The man I'm talking about is Tom Merritt, who is currently pulling something out of his mouth. What is that?
Starting point is 00:58:43 Your phone? Oh. Pulling a tick out of his mouth. He's our tech sentinel. That's what he is. That was pretty good. You need to do an act. If you're in Vegas in April, Tom will do a magic act where he pulls technology out of his mouth.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Yeah, a little prop comedy in Vegas. Yeah. Look forward to it. You'll be a carrot top. Check that one off my bucket list. Ace to carrot top, something. Anyway, hey, it's Tom Merritt, everybody. He comes on the show on Wednesdays,
Starting point is 00:59:09 talks about the tech stories that are brewing for that day. And I always love Wednesdays because it's the day I get to be on the Daily Tech News show. Hey, Tom, I know a few things have went down this week. What are you covering today? Well, if you've been following Daily Tech News show, as you should have been, you know that there was a little tit-for-tat announcement drama between Google and Microsoft. Biden and Apple kind of were on the fringes of that as well. We covered all that yesterday.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Basically, Google announced it was going to have an event live from Paris Wednesday morning, which they did this morning. And then after that, Microsoft announced, well, guess what? We're going to have an event on Tuesday morning, which they did. And then immediately after Microsoft announced that, Google said, well, guess what? Here's an AI announcement ahead of both of those announcements. and announced that Bard, which is its version of ChatGPT, would become available to the public in the coming weeks.
Starting point is 01:00:11 So Microsoft has its big announcement yesterday. It's about putting ChatGPT-like functions into Bing using a model that was developed in-house at Microsoft using OpenAI's tech, so using ChatGPT tech, but they modified it for Bing. And it was fairly interesting, you know, what they're going to roll. out. They are also rolling it out slowly. You have to get on a wait list to get it, but it's going
Starting point is 01:00:38 to do some fun things like be able to summarize search results or, you know, answer questions. And in Microsoft Edge, it will be able to answer questions related to the page you're looking at in the browser. So the example they used was you're looking at earnings reports in a PDF in one page and you say, hey, compared this to another company. And without taking you off that page, you can just give you the answer. You don't have to go look at that other page, et cetera. And you're like, put those in a table for me. All right, export it the, you know, PowerPoint for me.
Starting point is 01:01:10 So it's fairly useful. Yeah, fairly interesting stuff on the consumer end of things. Everybody's eyes were then on Google today for live from Paris. And to be honest, they kind of blew their AI announcement on Monday when they were like, oh, Microsoft's coming. Well, here's what we're going to do. They did a demonstration of Bard. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:01:34 They didn't give us nearly as many details about how they'll integrate Bard into Google at this point. They did repeat that they will start this with trusted testers and then allow the public limited access in the coming week. So we'll find out more if they stick to that over the next week or so. But one of the more embarrassing things is they put out a gift to demonstrate Bard. and their big thing to kind of highlight their responsibility is that they're limiting barred to something they call Nora, which is not my niece, although my niece is named Nora. In this case, it stands for no one right answer. So you ask it a question, it's going to give you bullet points, it's going to give you options,
Starting point is 01:02:19 going to say, you know, if you say like, what's the best constellation, it'll be like, these three are pretty good. In their GIF demonstrating that, they said, what we'll have to get the question right what new discoveries from the James Webb
Starting point is 01:02:34 Space Telescope can I tell my nine year old about one of the three responses was it took the very first picture of a planet outside of our own
Starting point is 01:02:41 solar system which is wrong that is wrong that's just wrong info yeah the first picture of a planet taken outside of the solar system was made in
Starting point is 01:02:51 2004 17 years before the James Webb Space Telescope launched Google responded by saying that's why we didn't
Starting point is 01:02:58 Trusted testers. It's not a good look when you've got Bing showing a lot more features and a lot more details. Although Bing, to be fair, said preemptively, this thing is going to get stuff wrong. That's why we're not just adding it to Bing and launching it for everybody. They detailed all their safety procedures and said, as we go along, when you find wrong things, you need to tell us about them because that's how the model gets better. And that is one of the interesting things about how these large language models work is there's a certain amount of training you can do just on data. But at a certain point, to improve it, you need more data.
Starting point is 01:03:37 And they're running up against the fact that they've used all the data that exists in the world. They're having a hard time finding enough data that they have the right to use that they can throw out these things. So the next way you improve them is have people say what was wrong. And it learns from that. And to really improve fast, you need a lot of people doing that, which means you need to launch it in public for a lot of people to use, which means a lot of people have to come across wrong data, which then is a bad look at the process. Well, let me ask you this. Phil's, is this a fair assumption to say that in relatively recent time, these companies, Microsoft, Google, and many more were not introduced, but saw the potential of this technology. and there's a little bit of a gold rush happening.
Starting point is 01:04:27 It feels like to me. Like they're all just going, oh, crap. Okay, well, we need to be the front end for people for this. Like, it can't just be a tool. It's off on the web somewhere. It needs to be Google search. It needs to be Bing search. It needs to be, you know, up front and center.
Starting point is 01:04:43 It just feels like there's a scramble for this right now. I think search in particular is ripe for disruption by this technology. it will not be the only or even the most important use of these large language models, but it is the most high profile because if they can get it where it's right more often than searches, because don't forget, search sometimes gives you wrong stuff too. It will change how we search. We will go from saying like, oh man, Google just somebody game the SEO and now I'm just getting a bunch of crap.
Starting point is 01:05:18 This is not what I was looking for to like, oh yeah, that's exactly what I wanted, especially the ability when you get something that's a little off to say oh no what i meant was and have sort of an appearance of understanding from the tool that's what google is deathly afraid of that people will get that from bing good enough that they will start using bing instead of google i'm very curious what meta is going to do because meta has very good uh deep learning uh they have their own large language model there's some very good scientists on this uh and they haven't tipped their hand about what, if anything, they are going to do about search. And I wouldn't be shocked if one of these open source projects out there suddenly becomes
Starting point is 01:06:04 the next Google and causes a startup to launch off the top of it that says, you know what, we're not restricted by being a Microsoft or a Google that can only turn the boat slowly because it has so many interests that it has to protect. It's one of the advantages Microsoft has over Google is that because Bing doesn't have a big market share, they can move a little faster than Google can. I'm curious if we see, if we see Google, the Google of AI search turn Google and Bing into the Alta Vista and Info Seek of AI search. Of their day, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Someone in the chat said it, Matuba said it kind of just nonchalantly, but I would go for a duck, duck, duct, duck. I would love it if Duck, Duck Go. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, I already like them, prefer them, use them every day. That'd be nice. Like I, at the end of the day, like, this is, this is what I do like about all of this is, is we're finally seeing some rubber to the road, um, use case for, for AI, especially in
Starting point is 01:07:03 this, this model of AI. Yeah. And so while everyone's losing their mind about, oh, AI deep fakes and oh, the art they're generating and the artists and this and that, which I definitely felt, you know, the sting of in my own way, uh, this is like a, the practicality of this is just right in front of us. Like, it's not hard to. see it. And so I'm excited kind of for how this will flesh out.
Starting point is 01:07:25 But there'll be a lot of, you everybody strap in for some corporate yaha because it's about to get a little weird. I feel about this particular turn of events like I haven't felt in a long time about technology, which is, oh, this is getting interesting. And the
Starting point is 01:07:43 big players are now having to react. And, you know, when that happened to Microsoft, Apple, HP Compact, et cetera, in the late 90s and early 2000s, we, that's when we got Google and Amazon and later Facebook and Netflix, those all came out of that era. So we are at the very beginning of that era, and the next wave of those kinds of companies may exist right now, and we just don't realize they're going to be that next company because
Starting point is 01:08:15 they're still getting started, or they may be yet to be started. But this feels like we're finally, everybody's been saying like, why aren't we getting anything new in tech. This is one of those new things you're getting in tech, finally. Yep. Well, more about that. Today on the Daily Tech News show, I'll be there. I'm also going to do a summary judgment, if you will, on all things Game Pass, the subscription. I'll get the gavel. It's going to be fun to talk about that because it's all in preparation for another cool thing we're doing later this week. So if you want to find out about all of that, tune into the Daily Tech News show today and get those hot deets. Tom, anything else going on?
Starting point is 01:08:48 Yeah, yeah. Get Scott's judgment on Xbox Game Pass and Daily Tech News Show. Then we're going to have a gaming roundtable that Scott's going to lead for us. Thank you for doing that. Later in the week on daily tech. Cool. That is all Daily Tech News Show.com. Max Scoville, Trish Hirshberger, Scott Johnson, all getting together later this week. It's going to be great.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Can't wait. Tom Merritt, everybody. He is Ais Detect on Twitter for as long as it last. Tom, we'll see you next time. I'm a little poopie on Twitter right now. All right. That was great. That was. AI search, baby. It's happening. Uh, now I need to, like it or not.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Yeah, whether you like it or not, many of you don't. Yep. Uh, but, uh, this is actually, AI search I like. AI, um, writing weird chat scripts and things like that. I, not your, not your favorite, me neither. Not my favorite yet, yeah. Yeah, not really into it either.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Um, all right. Creating, uh, racist Seinfeld episodes. Man, that thing, really, it was such a cool, stupid thing. What a great idea. And it's just like, oh, boy, that went bad. Uh, bum me out. Bumb me out hard. All right, anyway, check this out.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Hey, you know what that music means? It means it's time for recommendals. We take stuff we've seen on streaming services, and we recommend them sometimes. Sometimes we tell you to steer clear, but that's usually the exception to the rule. On the line with us right now, we have Nicole Spagg. Hi, Nicole. Hi. Hello.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Welcome back. And Randy Jordan. Good morning, morning stream. How are you? Good. You? Are you good? All is well.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Oh, good. Yes. Uh, today's, uh, the order today is a little mixed up because we've, uh, I like doing it that way, but also, uh, Randy's got a thing. So we're going to make sure you get your thing in before your thing happens. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying about your thing? You know what I mean? I'm going to drop you unceremoniously in about 10 minutes. Oh, yeah. Boom, whether he's mid-sentence or not. That's right. Uh, so we're going to start with Brian, who's always usually pretty brief anyway, uh, so that you have time. And, uh, Brian, as usual, do you have set up for this clip? I do. It's very, I'm going to be very quick about it. It's a series. It's just wrapped up its first season. It's getting renewed for a second season, and people may recognize it from this clip. Ooh, all right, here we go. I told my editor I was meeting with the most dangerous man in the world,
Starting point is 01:11:06 gave him two choices. He came back with Bezos Putin. He thinks I'm in Proscovaevka. You've grown old, Daniel. Yeah, well. Mortality beats a heavy drum. I wasn't sure you've remembered me. Your book makes no mention of our prior meeting.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Mentioned vampires in one of those, readers tend to call bullshit. You've had some health concerns of late? Whole planet's having a moment, I'd say. You have Parkinson's disease, Daniel. Yeah. And you've got your own hangar at the airport, privileges on the Royal Maydan Bridge, and zero presence online.
Starting point is 01:11:51 hit a nerve? What does it cost this having aged in half a century killer views in all directions, anonymity? Quite a lot. And here's another question. That's the sun out there. Where's your
Starting point is 01:12:07 coffin? You're standing in it. I have no idea. That is the brand new series based on Anne Rice's novels, and much more closely, based on Anne Rice's novels. Interview with the Vampire. series on AMC, AMC Plus.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Listen, people, I've given you a lot of reasons to subscribe to AMC Plus for a month. You can fill your time with a bunch of stuff that doesn't have anything to do with zombies, like Gangs of London, which I highly recommend. Dark Wins, which is fantastic. Duel, a movie with the companion from Doctor Who, and interview with the vampire. I have not watched the sequel series yet, which is Mayfair Witches, which stars that Alexandria
Starting point is 01:12:52 De Dario. Anyway, but I can tell you that interview with a vampire is excellent. It's really, really well done. And is a slow burn compared to how much stuff they tried to jam into one movie with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
Starting point is 01:13:10 It's the same story. It's vampire listat and the vampire that he sired called named Louis. The two of them kind of, so to speak, adopt a vampire named Claudia. Can we just love Jacob Anderson's voice? I could just listen to Jacob Anderson speak.
Starting point is 01:13:30 Can I get some clarity here? He's the unsullied guy from Game of Thrones, right? That's correct. Yeah, he's gray worm. Yep. And he's Louis. He's the Brad Pitt character, if you will, from the movie. You also heard Eric Begosian, who is doing his best
Starting point is 01:13:45 Anthony Bourdain impersonation as Daniel, the guy who's actually conducting the interview. In the film, you only really get Christian Slater at the beginning and the end, but I'm so glad we get way more of the character Daniel, the person conducting the interview with the vampire in this. And he's such a great character. And there's, you know, it's gothic horror. There's some blood.
Starting point is 01:14:13 There's plenty of blood. The entirety of this first season takes place in New Orleans at the – was it like the turn of the century or a little bit after that? Yeah, late 1800s, I think. 1910, I think. Anyway, it's – it's so well-written and well-acted, and the pacing on it is – is so well-done with the – endings of each episode that you forget that, oh my gosh, there's this reveal at the end of this episode. There's another reveal at the end of this other episode. It's great. And it works on its own as a full season, but we are getting a season two of it. I see John DiMaggio's in this
Starting point is 01:15:00 thing playing Alderman Fenwick. Can you tell me about that? Because that seems crazy. John DiMaggio. Yeah, no kidding. Bender. He is one of many A-holes. All right. Okay. There's a lot of A-holes that you kind of get their comeuppance. And, yeah, John DiMaggio is one of the more prominent ones. Yeah, Radon Chung from... From the loins of Tommy Chong? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:31 That's right. Directly from Tommy Chong's loins. The loins of Tommy Chong. Exactly. That's my next album title, by the way. I still love her so much in Commando. I love her. No, she's great. Commando.
Starting point is 01:15:43 I think that's what I was. I'm not total recall. Commando, yes. Anyway, it's great, and it's a weird number of episodes from AMC, only seven episodes of interview with the vampire, but you'll get through them really quick. You'll have plenty of time in your purchased month of AMC Plus to watch. Kevin can F himself, Gangs of London, Duel, and all the other cool stuff that I've recommended and still be done by the end of the month and can cancel AMC Plus if you so desire. I just saw a picture.
Starting point is 01:16:15 Go ahead. Oh, I'm sorry. No, no. I was going to say, you made me think of Anne Rice, and there's a series of books that she wrote that I really enjoyed called The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. It's a little bondage. It's a little 50-s-safe. We get a little insight into Saturday 9 at Spagnolo's house. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:16:38 I just really enjoyed books when I was younger, and I was like, I wonder if they ever did, they adapted it. And apparently they did. I had no idea. They called it something else. But it was during that 50 shades of gray time period. And so they took the rights. And now I'm going down a raphole. Those books came out so long ago that I was a kid and I found them in my mom's dresser.
Starting point is 01:17:07 That's how, like, those are like 40 years ago those books came out. Yeah. Wow. Sleeping beauties, the claiming of sleeping beauty, Claiming of Sleeping Beauty's punishment and beauty's release. Wow. Which you just basically replaced Sleeping Beauty with shades of gray and you've got those three. No, I think there, I mean, there's, I'm not going to say anymore.
Starting point is 01:17:31 Yeah. We're just going to take my hole. No, no, not at all. They're just good. It just happens to be a leather lined hole and we're, we're basking in it. It's fine. We're basking in it. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:17:41 You remember when they did that awful Rosey O'Donnell, Dan Ayfroyd. Yeah, was it Exit to Eden? Because that was also Anne Rice, wasn't it? The book is great. Yeah. The movie was awful. It was horrendous.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Yeah, it was killed, Melanie, was it Melanie Mayeron, killed her film career post. Yeah. But Beach, China Beach, I think was her show that she was like everybody. She was the it girl for a while. she did exit to Eden is like, oh, okay, well, I can't touch. But if you've seen the exit of the Eden movie, you'd be like, why would I read that? The book is nothing like the movie, and that's what I was wondering if they had done what they
Starting point is 01:18:24 did to that, to the Sleeping Beauty, and I don't know, I'm just, now I'm, I'm interested in what happened to Aunt Rice's, she got a raw deal. Yeah, she makes good rice as well. Hey, Randy, it's your turn. Let's whip this out real quick. Yep in, Randy. Yeah. What do you got for set up before I hit this? I have a new nature documentary, and it's narrated by Will Arnett, who can do no wrong.
Starting point is 01:18:51 All right, here we go. Cedar lives an extraordinary life in an extraordinary land. Her home is a vast outpost of volcanic rock, creating a giant island, filled with wonders surrounded by the North Pacific a cold but vibrant ocean it batters its chores yet feeds life across its lands
Starting point is 01:19:32 very nice you're sure you played the Will Arnett narrated version because that did not, I know it is, but it certainly didn't sound like Lil Arnett. He doesn't do his Batman voice at all this entire time. He is trying to sound like a hippie who's impressive. And it works. This is Island of the Sea Wolves.
Starting point is 01:19:54 This is about Vancouver Island, specifically. And the filmmakers here got just some insanely awesome footage of different animals on Vancouver Island. There's wolves, there's otters, there's marmots. And it's, they go a little Disney with it, which is good, in my opinion. This is not your standard textbook fair. They name all of the animals. So, like, they start talking about a wolf that they've named Cedar.
Starting point is 01:20:29 And every creature you see has a name. And it can be a little off-putting at first. I don't need these bald eagles to have names, but once you get used to it, once you get used to it, they've got some really cool stories to tell because they got such incredible footage. You need to watch Island of the Sea Wolves.
Starting point is 01:20:49 You will like it. It is on Netflix. Netflix is where it is. Okay, good. I love these, so I'm all in. They chill me out these things big time. It's three episodes. They're all an hour long,
Starting point is 01:21:00 and you will find that it rushes by and it's worth your time. Yeah, the only thing we'll learn did that you said he could do no wrong that time he cheated on his wife uh leslie no if i was pissed at him i will never forgive them uh him specifically i will never forgive him for for that but uh he is my favorite batman so he's a good batman how do you square it you have to square it you know i get sometimes he just want to have sex with somebody who's not constantly making jokes all the time i do i do have to go thank you very much for having me yep uh
Starting point is 01:21:35 Great, great show, guys. Yep, always a good time. Have fun at your meeting or whatever it is you're going to, and don't take any wooden nickels. All right. There goes randy. Let's get to Nicole's selection here. Nicole, you want to set up what this thing is? It looks really interesting.
Starting point is 01:21:52 I told you, I told you the wrong show. Oh, you did? The way that they title these shows, it just is, I don't know. It only screwed me up for a second when I was preparing the quick TMS. Did you figure it out? Oh, yeah, I did. I did. Okay.
Starting point is 01:22:05 So when I was really, really sick, I was pretty much comatosed for like a week straight. I was just on the couch, comatose, and my mom came to take care of me. And she put this show on. And it felt like it went on forever. Like it never stopped. But it was just a mindless show that had some educational value to it. But it's kind of like... they dramatize it, so, but then they jump all over the place, especially the first seasons, because there's only two seasons, or two episodes in the first season, and the episodes are like an hour and a half long, but you're jumping in the time period as you're watching these episodes. So it's, it can be a little confusing, but I found, I mean, if you're ever comatosed on the couch, this is a great now to watch. I'm selling it, aren't I?
Starting point is 01:23:04 All right. Yeah, no, totally. Yeah, if you can't move and you got nothing else you can do. You got nothing else. Yeah. Boy, have we got a thing for you. All right. Let's play this clip that you sent me. And it's about a minute long. Here you go. Slice of cheddar blend cheese, crispy iceberg lettuce, little secret sauce, crunchy dill pickle, toasted club slice and not one but two hamburger patties under a lightly toasted sesame seat crown. I call it the aristocrat. Hold on, wait. Or perhaps the Blue Ribbon Burger. What? It's a bit... It's a bit what.
Starting point is 01:23:53 How about the Big Mac? There you go. Exactly. That's the episode. I think that's like episode, season three. This is a show on the history channel called The Foods That Built America. I thought it was the foods that built, or what was it? What was the one? The one I captured earlier sounded like, it sounded very different. It was this. Henry Hines was the first to use clear bottles to show his product's quality. It's just like a weird, like, you know. So they were very, they were a lot more formal. in the first season and so the first season they look at Henry Hines they go into
Starting point is 01:24:41 post serial they go into Kellogg's and you know that movie with Matthew Broderick Road to Wellaville Yes so they dive into that
Starting point is 01:24:56 and like Dr. Kellogg and how he came up with the cereal and how his brother So it's an interesting dive into how all these big, big brands that we know today, how they were built and the struggles that they went through to exist. Even Hershey Chocolate was wild to watch. I like stuff like this.
Starting point is 01:25:24 So are they reenactments? Yes, the reenactments, really well done reenactments. That's why I was impressed with it because it wasn't. yeah so um they do this with other things like the toys that made us and it's it's along those same lines um but it's all the foods that have built america so later in the seasons you get into cheese and fast food they go back to cereal because there's so many players to that yeah i'm just happy to hear history channels doing history again that's nice because usually they're You can watch these on Hulu.
Starting point is 01:26:04 There's three seasons on Hulu. Yeah. Wow. Because History Channel's all garbage these days. So hearing they're doing something that's actually historic is interesting to me. Because usually it's aliens and bullshit they do now, right? Isn't that all History Channel stuff does? It sure feels like it.
Starting point is 01:26:19 So that's good to hear. Yeah. I like that. The Hines journey was interesting because he actually went bankrupt. And they like the cops were after him. Oh, and they do board games too, which I. was really interested to see how board games came about. And the original game of life had some questionable things on it.
Starting point is 01:26:46 Really? Oh, interesting. So like the history of Milton Bradley kind of stuff? Yes, Milton Bradley and the Parker brothers. They dive into those two stories. And again, it's hard to watch these because they don't break them up. And they don't break them up into easy to watch episodes on one topic until I think season two. Season one, you have to watch like the whole hour and a half to get the whole story because they break it up.
Starting point is 01:27:17 So they'll jump from board games back to catch up. Like they just go all over the place and they're like, meanwhile, blah, blah, blah is happening. Because they want to try, they're trying to make a timeline of like the things that are. happening in the United States at that time and why this was such a big deal to have leisure time. And what the guy, Parker guy, saw with the soldiers playing little portable checkers. But he did that because he lost all of his money because he was making lithograms of Abraham Lincoln without a beard. And he lost all. of his money because Abraham Lincoln decided to grow a beard.
Starting point is 01:28:06 And so nobody would buy him? That's hilarious. What a weird thing. It's crazy. Yeah. Just weird little factoid about how something in history could have just, if Abraham Lincoln didn't grow a beer, would we had Parker brothers? I'm just, I will absolutely watch this. I'm also, I'm utterly shocked History Channel has something good.
Starting point is 01:28:31 to watch. So I'm excited. Yeah. You're kidding. Yeah. The good news is you know, do you watch it on history channels? You said. You can watch it on Hulu. Yeah, which I will much prefer to do. That sounds great. Check it out, everybody. What's in the full name again? The food
Starting point is 01:28:45 That built America. Well, how did games get in there? The food, let's see. The food that built America. I was wondering that too about the board games. So maybe that, again, don't trust my recollection. So there must have been the games. There must have been
Starting point is 01:29:01 something else that integrated in it but it was the same style I apologize no maybe we got two recommendations for one here today yeah so let me let me find what the the board game was but I think it's but I think it's the history channel as well I was thinking that there was like somehow the game of
Starting point is 01:29:17 life was tied to life cereal and that's what the somehow the connection was that would be great the food that built America revolves around Hershey Heinz McDonald's all of that stuff I'll find out what the other one I'm sure it's like the probably the toy
Starting point is 01:29:31 that built America or the games that built America. Yes. You know what? I think it is the toys. Immediately just went right into one after you finished watching the other. Did you ever see that McDonald's movie with Michael Keaton? What was that called? Yeah, the one about Kroc. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:47 That was awesome. Oh my gosh. I did see it. Yeah. I kind of remember what it was called. Everyone always thought, you know, we're all talking about the founder. Yeah. Everyone talks about how amazing what's his name was in Last of Us season or episode three. Nick Offerman? If you want to see one of his most subtle, interesting roles ever, he plays one of the co-founders of McDonald's, and he's so good in that movie.
Starting point is 01:30:10 God, I've forgotten about that. Wow. What a great movie. It is called The Toys that Built America. That's how out of it I was. They just rolled into each other, and I just thought they were, like, all the same thing. Then there was that episode where this guy named Walter was making meth with some kid. And then Mulan saved everybody. Yeah, it's really weird.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Anyway, well, I'm glad. Netflix has their own. It's the whatever's that made us. And now History Channel has theirs, which is the whatever that built America. Gotcha. Well, there you go. So if you're over there already getting your alien bullshit on, stick around for that or watch it on Hulu.
Starting point is 01:30:51 That sounds great. And, of course, quicktmS.L.I will have all of these links because Brian put them up there. Nicole, thanks for hanging out with this. Well, hold on, Scott. Do you want to do a recommend? What about yours? Oh, shit. I forgot mine existed. Hold on. Let's do mine. Thank you for saying that. All right.
Starting point is 01:31:05 I was like, don't I get to chime in. No, it's the, for whatever reason today felt like I already did it, but I don't know why I did. All right. Here's, uh, here's mine. This is a clip of a movie that you all seen, and many of you may have seen it a million times like I have, but it's comfort food for me. And everyone once in a while, I'll watch it. We've never filmed sacked it and we've never recommended it before. And it just happens to be streaming on Amazon Prime. So here's my clip. Clearly seen in the future would fall neatly in that category. It's not so surprising, then, that an organism, deprived of its earthly vision... He said we wouldn't get it. He said we wouldn't get the treasure we seek.
Starting point is 01:31:39 On account of our obstacle. What the hell does he know? He's an ignorant old man. Jesus, peach. I told you I buried it myself. Your cousin still has this here. Horse farm and a fords and some shoeing impedimentia or saw our liberty of movement. Hold it, right, chair! You meant from the back? you wash his bar
Starting point is 01:32:01 yes sir daddy told me I'm to shoot who's ever from the bank well we ain't from the bank young fella yes sir I'm also supposed to shoot folks serving papers
Starting point is 01:32:11 we ain't got no papers neither I nick the census man now there's a good boy is your daddy about all right I can't get enough Tim Blake Nelson in my life
Starting point is 01:32:24 but he's so good anyway I watched our brother where art thou which I don't know this is like the 12th 13th time I've seen it yeah of the Cohen brothers movies it's the one I get the most comfort from it's easily the best retelling of the Odyssey that's ever been made in my opinion um it's just wonderful and it holds up and it looks like it was filmed yesterday um Tim Blake Nelson in particular just I could watch him do anything I just love that guy the soundtrack's amazing oh soundtrack's fantastic if you go down a rabblehold at that music you
Starting point is 01:32:56 find all kinds of cool bluegrass acts that you've never heard of before that are all great. It's just a wonderful film. And so you all already know about it. It came out in 2000. It's out, you know, I can't believe it's almost 23 or 20, yeah, it is 23 years old or it will be this summer, which is insane because it does not look old. And it is wonderful. You heard me at the top of the show play this line here, which is a cronyism, nepotism, that guy. And it's got some stuff in there that is edgy as hell.
Starting point is 01:33:32 Even then, especially now, I feel like, but it works and it's great. And the sirens and all that stuff, they just absolutely just killed it with this movie. I love it. It's on Amazon Prime. Go watch it. And it got me in the mood. So I ended up immediately watching, I got kind of in a Coen Brothers mood. And I immediately watched Blood Simple, their first big feature film.
Starting point is 01:33:53 Oh, yeah. And right after that, I watched, or I'm not quite done yet. I got a quarter left of No Country for Old Men. But I just love their movies, all of them. I love them all. I'm probably on my way to a millionth time watching Fargo after I do that. But it's a wonderful movie and it put a smile on my face and it will yours too if you just spend some time. I bet you there's somebody listening that has never seen it.
Starting point is 01:34:15 And I think you just convinced them. I hope so. Yeah. I hope so. Did you say streaming on Amazon Prime? Yeah, Prime at the moment. Um, most of their stuff is on, uh, HBO at the moment, but that one happens to be prime. Um, okay. And if you've never seen a Brambo Bride, do yourself a favorite. Oh, yeah, Hudson's great. Oh, yeah. Hudson's great. Oh. Yeah, I love Hudson. I love it all. I don't, people may have their favorites or least favorites of their Cohen brothers lineup or whatever. I don't have one I don't like. I like them all. Even the ones that people think are bad, I think are good. So I'm as biased as you can get on Cohen brothers stuff. And I don't know if they're ever doing them.
Starting point is 01:34:52 movie together again there's rumors they're they're like yeah we're hanging it up as a pair and then Joel or Ethan whichever one it is it'll just keep making stuff on his own because he just did that king lit I was you say one of them just did yeah was it King Lear no no no it's the King Lear thing the one last year with the Denzo Washington and yeah it's not King Lear it's um what is that a fellow a felt no no Macbeth Macbeth thank you jeez it was just nominated and it's like the one The one nominated film from 2022 that I couldn't get through. Yeah, it's, uh, yeah, I understand why. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:35:30 Does the Cohen brothers tend to go back to the same actors? I don't think they really do. Oh, a lot. Like, did they ever, did they work with, um, yeah, one of, John Goodman, I think is it just about every. Yeah, Goodman's in a mall. John Tituro's in a ton of them. Um, his wife, Joel Cohen's wife is, uh, what's her name?
Starting point is 01:35:50 that just won her Oscar Francis McDorman and she's in everything including the first on Blood Simple she's in that she was Toro you said yeah and Clooney's been in
Starting point is 01:36:00 three or two at least Jim Blake Nelson in the Ballad of Buster Scruggs but what other movie am I thinking of with Clooney to answer Nicole's question about Clooney it was this
Starting point is 01:36:12 and the one something before cleaning or stop before dancing or oh clean burn before reading Before reading. Was that her? He was in that?
Starting point is 01:36:23 Yeah, him and, um. Pit? No, not that one. That's a different one. Or maybe I'm mixing the names up. That's the, I can't remember. Berm, yeah, the smoking one is the one he's in.
Starting point is 01:36:35 Yeah. He's a lawyer. Intolerable cruelty. That's the name. It's called intolerable cruelty. Oh, yeah. Thank you for not. Thank you for smoking is a whole different movie from a whole different director.
Starting point is 01:36:49 Right. Right. And not even him in it. It's Aaron Eckhart in that anyway. Right. Yeah. No, the intolerant cruelty was him and Zeta Jones. Yes.
Starting point is 01:36:58 Yeah. And a lot of people don't think that's their best work. I still like it. So whatever. I like them all. I forgot about that one. And Lady Killers with Tom Hanks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:10 Your name a movie. It's all good to me. Oh, a serious man. Oh, I got. I forgot about how good that one was. Yep. I love a serious man. I love the L or the,
Starting point is 01:37:19 uh, what's the one with, Poe Dameron in it. Is that inside Lewin Davis? That's it. Great movie. Haven't seen that one, which is surprising since it's about a musician and I like the
Starting point is 01:37:32 I like the folk music almost biopics and I still need to see that one. It's got great soundtrack as well. So anyway, man, he wasn't there. Oh, it's so good. Billy Bob Thornton in that black and white. Such a good movie. Anyway, go watch all the Cohen Brothers movies. This is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:37:48 That's my overall recommendation. But in particular, go see or go watch while it's on prime go watch our brother we're out now all right that is uh that is gonna finally do it that's it there we go Nicole I'm glad you're doing good thanks for hanging with us today and uh go enjoy more history channel will you get in there all right bye see you later have another slice of coma toast why can I yeah coma toast that's my favorite thing she said today was coma toast absolutely yes next time I'm not feeling very well and I'm just laying on the couch I'm going to tell my wife that I am comatose. Comatose.
Starting point is 01:38:22 And she'll probably make toast. I'll love it. All right. That's going to do it for the show. That's going to do it. I don't know why it's all Mario all the sudden.
