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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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. And, uh, love hearing from you that way. So keep those coming. I love it.
It's like a call now, but it's not now. It's call then and we'll answer now. Yeah, it's call.
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.
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.
Yeah, exactly.
I like it a lot.
Anyway, but don't call now because I'm not answering that phone.
But I do want you to do this.
We're about to play a game with Brian Dunaway.
And when we do, if you want to be involved, you need to ping me on Discord.
If you haven't already friended me there, it's FrogPants.
And then the number 1277 or you have to put the pound sign in there.
pound sign one two seven seven um but if you have already done it and you know who you are put your uh send
me a little ping doesn't matter what text you send me just a little dm on discord and it can be whatever
i'm going to take today the third person all right i will both speak to you in the third
person and i will take the third uh whoever pings us third uh will be in today's event scott is
wanting you to play yeah what you would say i would yes i want you to play yes uh but i want you to
She said as she walked to the thing.
Anyway, oh, Dunaway, I called Nunway, and then he immediately hung up.
Oh, there he is.
All right.
Hold on.
Let's do his music.
Hey, Brian Dunaway.
Welcome to Babel Royale slash Tad Pooley Feud.
What are you doing?
How are you?
Oh, hey, Scott and Brian.
What are you guys doing?
Oh, you know.
You know, just chat.
Just hanging out, chatting about.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Star Wars
All right
Did the Tadpool say
Star Wars
Yeah they do
That's the number one answer
Yeah
Yeah
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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?
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
Strong
Yeah
Yeah
I'm
I'm
Oh
What a beautiful morning
I say to the Tesco guide
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
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?
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
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
2004
17 years before
the James Webb
Space Telescope
launched
Google responded by
saying
that's why we didn't
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Welcome back.
And Randy Jordan.
Good morning, morning stream.
How are you?
Good.
You?
Are you good?
All is well.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
post serial
they go into
Kellogg's
and you know that movie
with Matthew Broderick
Road to Wellaville
Yes
so they dive into that
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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

This is their cover of Depeche Mode.
Here is Ghost with Waiting for the Night.
See you guys tomorrow.
I am waiting for the night to fall.
I know that it will save a song.
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the start
Reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And they're in the steel
All that you feel
It's tranquility
There is a star in the sky
guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the room, no, my deliverance will come soon.
For the night to fall, I know that it will save us all.
Now everything's dark, keeps us from the star, reality.
I've been waiting for the night to fall.
Now everything is bearable.
And here in the steel, all that you feel is tranquility.
There is a sound in the calm, someone is coming to home.
I press my hands to my hands to my ear
Easier here just to forget free
And when I screamed in the world, see most tempted
An angels appear to the sin
To me my surprise,
When I closed eyes,
Things looked even better than when they were open.
So,
you know,
and
There is a star in the sky guiding my brain with its life.
And in the glow of the moon,
No, my deliverers will come soon
There is the stars, the sky,
guiding my way when it's mine
and in the globe.
