Starting point is 00:00:59 die. The morning stream. Oh, yeah, that's quite a story. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's Monday, February 20th. And this is the morning stream. I'm Scott Johnson.
Starting point is 00:01:27 That's Brian Nibit. Hi. Hello. Hello, Brian. You smell like dog. We'll talk about that in a minute. Let's eat those hobbits. Yeah, they want to eat those. It looks like you're watching Lord of the Rings as well.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Yeah, I've had it on in the background. I've seen it like a thousand times, so it's not like I need to make a big deal out of it. But just kind of let it go, you know, let it run. Every once in a while, a little lion will pop out and I go, oh, let's capture that. Put it on the show. Actually, let's get right to it.
Starting point is 00:01:55 You went to a dog show. I did. I'm very curious about this. How'd that go? Yeah, this was a mystery date. Tina surprised me with a trip to the Colorado Kennel Club dog show at the, what do they call those places? It's an amphitheater that they use specifically every year for the rodeo for when the rodeo comes to Colorado, the stock show. Is it an outdoor thing or indoor, indoor, indoor thing?
Starting point is 00:02:18 When it's stock show time Actually, no, it's, well, no, in a stock show time, it's a mix of indoor and outdoor because they've got all the food trucks and some of the cattle out there. But yeah, it's a big, you know, if you're a Colorado person, you know these two buildings that sit on either side of I-70 like a Cillin Carybdis and hold the stock show every January. Because if you want to get between. the buildings you have to walk under the interstate the understate sure it's an
Starting point is 00:02:54 understated interstate you know exactly anyway um so she surprised me with the trip to the dog show and uh first thing we get in there and we go to the first uh little arena and it's the agility course which is so so much fun to watch right because you've got these dogs who like all right through this tunnel and then over this uh jump and then around this ramp and then you know on this table where they have to stay for five seconds and not move and then through this other tunnel and up a teeter totter and down the other side and stuff like that it's um is that the one where the owner has to run with them the whole time yes yes and that just that is kind of one of the funnier parts is because the sometimes those runners those dog owners are not in shape and they
Starting point is 00:03:38 can't keep up with the dog and so the dog gets to the end of like there's this one of the first things they do is this ramp up and then a long horizontal beam and then a ramp down. And that's kind of the longest stretch that the trainer has to run along with them. And if the dog gets done like all the way through the whole thing and then just kind of looks back at the owner and says, come on, come on, you can do this.
Starting point is 00:04:01 It's valuable seconds of time that are lost by that. Do you have any money on any of the winners or anything like that? Does that work that way at the dog show? No. Unfortunately, you know, but you get a lot of dogs and stuff who get in there and it looks like it's their first time seeing the agility course. The owners are sitting there like,
Starting point is 00:04:20 nope, nope, come on, you threw the hoop, through the hoop, come on, you got to go through this hoop. All right, come over here, nope, you got to go up that ramp. No, snap to go up the ramp. And it's just like a constant, constant thing. And then there are the ones that just fly through that. And you wonder, we saw a bunch of different sized dogs. Like every grouping, they had to adjust raise the hoop a little bit
Starting point is 00:04:40 and raise the bars for the jump and raise the table legs. But they never, ever adjusted those big tunnels, those big look like slinky springs with canvas spread across them, those tunnels they have to run through. Oh, right. And you think, man, that sure seems like it gives a nice advantage to the small dogs and a big disadvantage to the big dogs who are like probably grazing the top of their head over every rung in the spring. Is there one that just blew your mind? Like, oh, that's the most beautiful dog I've ever seen in my freaking life kind of thing. No. No, although, I mean, there were some gorgeous. I took a picture of some Dalmatians. We sat and watched the judging for a little while.
Starting point is 00:05:23 So first, the agility course, then we moved on, watched some of the judging. And the judging is very much like you see with the Westminster Kennel Club and the AKC. And, of course, the movie Best In Show was playing in our heads the entire time that we're watching this. And, you know, they do all that stuff. They lift the tail and check the nuts and the anus and that sort of thing. having them run across and the again it's another situation where the owner has to run at the same speed as the dog and so a lot of them do this weird kind of duck walk run kind of thing is there is they're taking the dog because it's like you don't want to break into an all out run with a little dog but you also don't want the little dog to run ahead of you so you have to do this kind of duck walk short short little run thing where you're kind of squatting and running at the same time wow that's crazy. I would like to see a dog show. I think it'd be fun. Yeah, it's really cool. The best part was easily the long jump where you've got the big long pool of water and they run and take a
Starting point is 00:06:26 jump at the very end. And so I did get to, I think the best, the best and only use of your slow-mo camera on your phone is taking video of your dog, of dogs doing stuff, like catching treats in mid-air and doing that long jump, that sort of thing. It's so good. It's pretty great to watch. Let's see if I can pull this up for the channel. They can There it is. There is slow motion. Oh, you're pulling in one of mine. Yeah, the one you send me.
Starting point is 00:06:50 So they always land in the water, just an issue of how far in they get. Exactly. Yeah, and they've got little markers on the side to measure how far they jump and that sort of thing. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I would have had a good time at that. You know, it's great because Denver, you know, they had their little dog show and it feels like that's not too hard on traffic. We had the NBA Pro freaking bullshit. Oh, fun.
Starting point is 00:07:14 The entire city was a nightmare all day yesterday. Well, part of Saturday, too, because they were doing like the slam dunk contest and all that. But the big game was yesterday. And, you know, it's like the Pro Bowl. No one's going to hurt themselves. They're all being real careful. Right. And it's more about like little contest, shot contests, three-pointers, things like that.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Yeah. They have a full game, but nobody's doing anything hardcore. They're just sort of, you know, easy layups. Nobody's trying to foul anybody. that's all fine and everything but it just so many people in town so much new traffic it was just bonanza wacko everywhere yeah when stock shows in town not so much with the uh the dog show did i theorize that um about five percent of the people there at the dog show were people like us who didn't bring a dog but the other 95 percent were just people who brought a dog who were
Starting point is 00:08:08 you know having it judged or having it compete and we're sitting there watching other dogs at the same time so we're definitely a little minority but when the stock shows in town same thing here the the traffic around that part of town is something you just don't want to get involved with and all of the text mix restaurants in a 15 to 20 mile radius yeah uh like when casa benita was open and we'll be open again soon um that was a place that if you came to the stock show if you went if you were planning on going to casa benita anytime during the stock show um pack another lunch to eat while you wait in line at Kassab needed to get in. Yeah, but, yeah, that's kind of how it was for us.
Starting point is 00:08:48 We ended up going to this place called, so Saturday night went out with some friends. We decided to go early because, again, trying to beat some of this traffic. It didn't matter. It was still crazy. And it wasn't even downtown. We were like in Taylor'sville.
Starting point is 00:09:00 We were still pretty far. But we went to this place called Mr. and Mrs. Crabs. I don't know if they're getting sued by Nickelodeon or not. Maybe they should be. I don't know. But Mr. and Mrs. Crabs, and it just opened in November. We wanted to go there. And it's basically Southern style, like your table's covered in a big thing of paper.
Starting point is 00:09:20 They dump, like, yeah, a big crab boil. So you go in there and they usually, you know, they have a couple of recommended, like, ways you can go. But you can also kind of build out your own thing. So you want this many pounds of king crab or this much snow crab or you want, you know, this much shrimp and here's the corn on the cob. Do you want the garlic kind of buttery thing? Or do you want to go more Cajun?
Starting point is 00:09:40 Like, you have all these options. And it was really, really freaking good. Yeah. So I know people are sitting there going to see, like fresh seafood and Salt Lake City, give me a break. You guys are landlocked. I know, but these guys ship it in fresh. It's a little expensive. But if you split it, you go with four of you.
Starting point is 00:10:00 You got two couples. Me, Kim, Darren, and Ruth Ann. We all went together. And you split that right down the middle. Not bad. It's 119 bucks. Not bad at all. Split that.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Everybody was full. Nobody left there hungry. No. Nobody left unsatisfied. And you balance it out with potatoes and the sausage and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. That's all in there. They include all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:10:21 So it's like you get a little sausage, you get a little, they had hush puppies. They had a corn, little corn on the cob lips. Yeah, those were good. Like a corn on the cob cut into quarters and sold individually. Yeah, those were fantastic. Or included free individually. They were maybe four inches, I guess. They were like cut in half, I guess.
Starting point is 00:10:39 That's probably about the size they were. Okay. Yeah. But none of them had the end. on them, which is good. I don't want the ends. I want the middle, beefy, freaking corn cob is what I want. Maybe the best part of the cob. Yeah. It was fantastic, though. So, uh, big marks, high marks for uh, Mr. and Mrs. Crabbs. All right. Nice. Go check it out. Uh, so we'll talk more with, um, Stephen about this, but we went to Ant Man and Wasp, Quantumania, uh, Saturday morning with the
Starting point is 00:11:06 Denver Tadpool group. By the way, it wasn't until the end credits. Not a spoiler. Don't worry. Don't anybody cover their ears. It wasn't until the end credits that I realized that quantumania, if you, if you hide some of the letters, you get Ant Man. Oh, really? Yeah. If you hide the QU at the beginning, A&T, then hide the next to you, then you get M-A-N. And it's like, just like, right, just like that. Oh, that's awesome. I love crap like that. That's great. Very cool. Anyway, so we're, we saw the movie. We all loved it. All enjoyed it. it again we'll talk more about that with stephen but afterwards like about 20 minutes in i'm like
Starting point is 00:11:46 i have to pee but there's no way i'm leaving a marvel movie to pee and it wasn't like a like a cross my legs kind of like oh my god i've got to get going now it's like a oh i can kind of feel it coming on but i can i can kind of get by and and make it so sat there the whole extra two and a half hours and made it all the way through nice and uh that's a long time by the way of you got to, especially if you had anything to drink right before, you got to feed. It is. Exactly. Yes. So, uh, so, uh, so yes, I had to hold it that whole time. So, get, get out and I'm like, we're, we're kind of hanging out with all the other tidal pullers. I'm like, guys, I'll be right back. I've got to go to the bathroom. So I go
Starting point is 00:12:26 and I bypass one of the bathrooms to the second bathroom, which I know is going to be less full. And I'm standing there at the urinal, uh, doing what, what people do, what men do at the urinal. Sure. And all of a sudden, my ass gets slapped. Oh, like while I'm peeing. Are they, like, Tina in there? Wow. That just once, but like, bam, bam, bam. The heck, man.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah. And then I hear, Jordan, no, don't do it. Jordan, and that's Burgess Diesel in our chat room. That was his son, his five-year-old, four-year-old, five-year-old son, whacking me on the butt while I was peeing. That's great. That's great. Oh, yes. He's, okay, he's older than I thought.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Six-year-old coming up and whacking my butt while I'm trying to pee. And we're both laughing really hard. And so it's really hard to, like, say, Jordan, stop doing it when you're kind of laughing. So, of course, he's getting rewarded for that. Yeah, yeah, sure. No, dude, six-year-olds, they don't care. They're all, they're ready to rock. Oh, they don't.
Starting point is 00:13:30 They don't care. Jordan is such a crack-up, though. His mop-top of curly hair and he's just always excited. I'm sure he enjoyed the film as well. nice nice so yeah well good i'm glad as you didn't turn around and pee on everybody that's the important thing i did not know and that's the thing it's like if i ever feel somebody reaching in pulling out my wallet which i don't keep in my back pocket not just for that reason but um then i know that's the that's the best thing you can do is spin around and pee on the person
Starting point is 00:13:57 who's trying to take your wallet uh yeah it's your built-in built-in defense it's the best human uh yeah also i get a little tip for you if you are in a if you're lucky enough to be in a town that's got a Trader Joe's. Here's a little tip. If you like scrambled eggs and if you don't think cilantro tastes like soap or tinfoil, get a little tub of the Trader Joe's Chimituri sauce and mix that into your scrambled eggs before you cook them. Like scramble your eggs, add that stuff to whip it in together, then pour that in the skillet. Holy crap, best scrambled eggs you'll ever have.
Starting point is 00:14:33 That sounds amazing. We just got a new Trader Joe's like, I don't know, 10 minutes away. so cool we've had them already but they're always downtown they're paining the ass to go down there so uh yeah i will do this that sounds fantastic it's a little tub in the refrigerated section by the other dips and hummus and guacamole and stuff like that you'll find it there and it's so good my wife always surprises me she says the best lotion like moisturizing face lotion she's ever had in her life she gets at trader jo's really she loves it it's like half the cost or less than any of the stuff that's supposed to be better. It just works great. I don't know the name of it. It's in a white bottle. Other people may know
Starting point is 00:15:11 what it is, but it's awesome. I've used it on my foot before when I had like a really weird dry foot thing. Great. Freaking amazing. It's good stuff. Trader Joe's they know their lotion. I've done their little foods and snacks and stuff like that, but I've never, never even thought about trying their lotion. Yeah. All their stuff's good. I love Trader Joe's. I wish every store was a Trader Joe's, honestly. Here's another great snack right here with these guys. If I can pull it out, These guys are 30 calories for the entire container. Organic roasted terriaki seaweed. Oh, yeah, we get those.
Starting point is 00:15:45 We love those. They're so good. They've got the sea salt. They've got the terriaki. And, you know, you just basically mow down on one of these and 30 freaking calories. That's it. Yep. Just don't eat three bags because not because of the calories, but man, that that'll give you the, pretty bad.
Starting point is 00:16:05 cheese. Yeah, it's very fibrous. They're even in little, little portions for you, Scott, and you still down three entire bags. I bought, we had them in a whole, you know, you can buy them in bulk like a whole row of them or whatever, and we got a whole thing of them, and I loved him so much, the Seasol ones, I ate three bags, and three bags later. Ooh, boy. Oh, I'm sure. It was not good. All right. But I can tell you what is good. Dunaway's good. He's good. Yeah. We're going to, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:16:34 One second I'm such an idiot I called him directly instead of adding him to the call Hold on Here we go And you get to see me shaking my head And the Zoom's like Yeah I can always
Starting point is 00:16:47 Can I always tell him Brian can't hear me anymore All right here we go Found it All right We're going to bring Donaway in We're going to have some fun Sit back, relax, enjoy Brian Dunaway joins the fray as well
Starting point is 00:17:01 We got two fray joiners today February 20th is a great day because that means Brian Dunaway is here. Why? Because it's the Tuesday. Okay? Two, sorry, Monday. It's a Monday. You know what I was thinking of?
Starting point is 00:17:13 I was thinking of our show tomorrow. I'm an idiot. I was thinking of, I was thinking about play retro. Anyway, no, it's Monday. And it comes on Mondays and Wednesdays. And we play a little game today. It's half asses. And Brian Ibet here, we'll explain the rules to Brian Dunaway.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Well, first of all, hi, Brian Dunaway. Sorry, we didn't. Oh, oh, hi, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. Oh, hi. Hi. How are you? What's your favorite?
Starting point is 00:17:32 What's your favorite Trader Joe's snack? Do you have Trader Joe's or is it just a West Coast thing? Oh, yeah, we do have a Trader Joe's. And I love Trader Joe's. It's about an hour away, though. But whenever I go to that town, I do always get some from Trader Joe's. I'm trying to think what my favorite thing is. Yeah, they got a lot.
Starting point is 00:17:51 They used to have some pretty good hummus that I used to like, but I can't remember anything specific. But I always get something when I go. Yeah, you should. It's, yeah, it's right next to like, one of those sporting good places. So we always go there. Big five or dicks or something like that. Right. We go there first and then we go get Trader Joe's
Starting point is 00:18:10 because we're definitely going to fart. There's always something we get. You're going to fart. Just don't eat all. Just don't. You don't want to fart in the sporting goods stores? Like you time it so that you... For some reason. For some reason, I always get some kind of bean product. Really?
Starting point is 00:18:27 Like, I used to get, what's the bean? Remember bean dip? Bean dip's a thing still. Yeah, bean dip is still a thing. Basically, like, kind of refried, smoothed out bean dip for chips and stuff. And I do, I get that a lot when I'm in the mood. I like those. So that may be your problem, dude. No more bean dip.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Don't do it. Adhesive wombat just mentioned the peanut butter cups. The peanut butter cups and the, um, the, uh, cashew butter cups. They look like little Reese's, but they're Reese's, but they're Reese's, sorry, forgot who was on. Oh, yeah, no, yeah, we can't have that. But they're cashew butter instead of peanut butter. And they're also freaking good. Yeah, they're really good.
Starting point is 00:19:02 They also have good jerky. They have a good everything. It's all really. Good everything. Recy, pieces. Recy, piecey. All right. Now Brian should explain the rules.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Now I'll explain. Welcome to the morning. Half-Ass is a trivia game. We're actually going to be giving Scott and Brian the answers. I'm going to give them a category and six possible answers. Three of those answers are correct. Three of them are just wrong. Just, you know, I can't put my finger on exactly what it is about it, but they're just wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Depending on how confident you feel with each category, you can provide one, two or three guesses, but if you get any of those guesses wrong, you get zero points for that round. Guess one and get it right. You get a point. Guess two and get them right. Gets your three points. And guess all three correctly, you get five freaking points. Player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I've pulled some contestants from members of the tadpool that aren't able to listen live. So Scott, you're playing for Shane from Hawaii, actually originally from Florida, he's in the Marine Corps. Oh, nice. Okay. Dude, Shane, I'm your man. Let's do it. That's right. And Brian, you're going to be playing for John in Margaretville, New York.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Not Margarita Vell, but Margaretville. No. Still. That's too bad. Yay, John. Who? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Let's get to it. And I'll tell you the prizes after we play. Let's start with question number one. This one might, you know, this one you might have a little bit of an advantage, Brian. We'll see. States smaller in. area than Maine. So which of these six states
Starting point is 00:20:32 as contains less area than Maine, the state of Maine? The reason I see might have an advantage. South Carolina is one of the states. Is it smaller or larger than Maine? Ohio, New Jersey, Louisiana, Hawaii, and Kentucky. Those are your states.
Starting point is 00:20:50 South Carolina, Ohio, New Jersey, Louisiana, Hawaii, and Kentucky. Square miles? Are we talking square miles? Is that the measurement? Are we talking, I guess, It doesn't matter. Just whatever space it takes up.
Starting point is 00:21:02 We could compare square feet if you like. If that's easier, we could compare... Let's do centimeters to make our Europeans happy. Sure, square centimeters. No problem. As long as we use the same measurement in both. Right, right. Three of these.
Starting point is 00:21:17 This is tricky. My dad lived in Maine, and we went up there every summer for about three years to see him. And, Daggummit, it's one of those states. Oh, I don't know. Let me think here. I'm going to, I think I know. Two of the, do I know that one, though? I'm doing two. You do it too?
Starting point is 00:21:42 I'm doing two as well then. You guys are both locked in. There is one obvious one in here, Hawaii. Come on. Yeah, Hawaii is definitely way less, way less area than Maine. It is so much smaller than Alaska. When you look at the maps, because they're always off by themselves, and it's like, here's Alaska. go, there's Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Yeah. Little Hawaii. Oh, you get to zoom in because there's little Hawaii. Plus, remember in school, they were always talking about how you kind of orange peel the map. It's like not, you take a round thing and flatten it. It's misleading to the eye. So if you actually had them next to each other. And then you get sprung.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Yeah. You got to pull up tongue. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. That's where I was headed. South Carolina, by the way, Brian, is smaller than Maine. Your own home state, you didn't realize. I couldn't tell if you were messing with me because you was like, I may have an advantage.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Well, I mean, just if you know. I should know. If you just know how big your home state is, that's an advantage. The other one that's, so Hawaii, South Carolina, and New Jersey. Good job. Brian, New Jersey is the other one in there that is smaller. Ohio, Kentucky, and Louisiana larger than Maine. Everyone always talks about how Ohio is all crammed together in a tight space.
Starting point is 00:22:56 And so I always think that's smaller than it is. It's a very concise, shaped state. Yeah. And everything's really close. We went to Columbus. It was like the airport. I could see my hotel from the airport, which was in the center of town. Like, you literally just go, when you're in the airport.
Starting point is 00:23:12 I loved that. It was amazing. I want that here. I love how that has shaped your entire impression of how large that state is. Yeah. I could see the airport from here? Could you see Cincinnati or Cleveland? No, that I was told like, I was told if I got in a car and
Starting point is 00:23:28 drove 45 minutes that direction, I'd run into Cleveland. It was like crazy. You definitely would. It was like nothing. Anyway. All right, let's get to question number two. Number two, let's check your Shakespearean history here. Assassins of Julius Caesar.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yes, the new Assassin's Creed game, Assessons of Julius Caesar. Which of these three people killed Julio? Was it Pompeii, Antony, Crassus, Brutus, Trebonius, or Casca? Casca. So, wait a minute, there were three I love that it is
Starting point is 00:24:03 Antony. Oh, yeah. It was a lot of the senators turned on Julius Caesar at the end. Yeah. I know one. I like that it's Antony too
Starting point is 00:24:10 because I'm Anthony, but this one's Antony. Right. Antony. Antony. Antony. Antony. Antony.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Antony. Um, hmm. I only know one for sure here. Shit. I know. I think I know one. I think I know one.
Starting point is 00:24:28 but then you're going to like, no, it was not related to that thing. All right. Well, let's see how you did. Again, the obvious one, the et tu Brutei. Yeah, Brutus, of course, was the, I think was the kind of leader of that group of senators that turned on Julius Caesar there at the end. The other two were Trebonius and Casca, meaning Brian got that one right. Crassus, Antony, and Pompeii. none of those were
Starting point is 00:24:58 You are wrecking me today, dude Wrecking me It was worrying me Because I was trying to wracking my brain Was it Casca or Krascus And I was like, I guess you just don't like the people serving in the armed forces That's that you just want them to lose I get it. No, it's fine
Starting point is 00:25:12 Wow What about John from Oh yeah, no John out there with his nuclear subs He might do important things in New York Like he might do, he might, uh, he might be huge. I don't know. He might work in an animal shelter and help animals. I mean, you want to deny him the games?
Starting point is 00:25:33 No, he's going to get him. It looks like he's going to get him no matter what. Technically, he's getting him no matter what. There's no way for, uh, his score is six to zero, but, uh, make a, you know, make a, make a go of this one, Scott, you got nothing to lose. All right. You've already lost, so you've really got to lose. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:49 All right. You have nothing to win. Let's, let's, let's test your, uh, your cartoon villain knowledge here. this one you guys can this will be a lot of fun for you Disney villains who fall to their death which of these Disney villains died by falling to their death was that Captain Hook Ursula Judge Frollo
Starting point is 00:26:08 Maleficent Scar and Gastol Damn it you didn't include the Tarzan guy One of those makes me laugh though Yeah we'll talk about why Okay I think I mean one of it makes me laugh too But I don't know if that's the same
Starting point is 00:26:24 I mean, there's some of these fall, but their death isn't from the fall. It's from something they fell into. Does that count? I would take that. If the fall kills them, it can't be another thing like falling into a vat of acid. Well, it wasn't the fall that killed him. Okay. So the fall had to kill them.
Starting point is 00:26:48 That's the point. The fall had to kill them. Yes, exactly. All right. Oh, shit. I think he fell. Oh, yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Oh, I did get that other one. Eh. I'm going to lock him with three, and I'm going to hope I'm right. I don't know. Okay. Yeah. I forgot Judge Frollo. I forgot who that was.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Yeah. Okay. Yep. Hunchback in Notre Dame. And indeed, he does fall to his death. Yeah. Yeah. So Scott got that one.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Scott also got Gaston. You both got Gaston. No one falls like Gaston. Yeah, no one falls like that guy. Oh, he sucks, okay. What a bottle. The other one, as Brian got, was Maleficent. Yes, well done.
Starting point is 00:27:32 What did Scar do? Carta. Scar gets killed by hyenas. You got eaten. Oh, shit, that's right. That's right. No, Cheech Marin and Wuppah, that is a great one. Oh, I'm falling. Oh, I can swim.
Starting point is 00:27:45 I'm fine. I'm good. So hold on. Cheech Marin and freaking, what's her name? Whoopi Goldberg. Goldberg got hungry at the end. Okay. Gosh, dang it.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my one chance to put points on the board. Dude, you aced it today. What the frick? I did. I failed last week. According to the card,
Starting point is 00:28:07 Melificent, Melisophant died from a fall. But people are saying, well, she was stabbed too, and she's actually alive now, and she got stabbed, but she could have survived that.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Technically. Merely a flesh wound. But Captain Luke didn't die either, really, right? he got eaten by the alligator did he did he come back oh did he I don't know Peter Pan 2 this time it's personal or something
Starting point is 00:28:32 that's right that's right I mean that but I think I think the rule here should be at the end of their movie in question did they fall to their death if somebody wants to retcon them later that's their problem you're saying the end of these movies who died and I think that's fair I think these
Starting point is 00:28:48 are correct she was stabbed I'm not arguing that she was stabbed but I think the fall is what would eventually did her in. Yeah, she probably had another app. That's what we're like, when she got stabbed, we were like, oh, no, she got stabbed. And then when she fell like, oh, she's dead.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Yeah. She's dead. The only other one is, although he fell, he got, actually was a hanging, but the dude in Tarzan fell and then a vine hung him. So that wouldn't, so that would have been a good one for this that would have probably.
Starting point is 00:29:16 That would have been another, yeah, another. Can't think of his name, though. He was a dick, that guy. Huge time. Man, Disney, something. times, man. I know, right? You know what? Let me tell you something. Still to this day. Dice to me actually has the video here. I do want to see this because it won't change the points at all because Brian's the only one to pick that one. But let's see. All right. So there's
Starting point is 00:29:39 Maleficent. She's turning into a dragon. She's flying towards the castle. Yeah. She lands, green fire. Think of Batman pooping snakes. Different movie. But still that same animation that reminds me of bad pooping snakes yeah she's getting all freaked out uh i always mix her up with the with the sleeping or the the apple one evil queen and uh yeah yeah same lady to me i never i never separate them all right he's running at her he's got the sword looks like dragons running at her i hope she's standing at the end of a cliff oh nope little little bad breath action there some goo acid breath green fire goo the horse is the uh chicken in the bucket just disappeared and went nowhere
Starting point is 00:30:24 nowhere the horse went he's like how there he's hiding in the woods okay I think you need to skip ahead a few frames there we go okay they're fighting the edge of the cliff oh my god Clayton's gonna fall what's gonna happen oh there's some burning dropped his shield
Starting point is 00:30:40 by shield and oh no his sword's magical hold on he throws the sword stabs Maleficent yep she's now She's falling. She's, uh, yep, she takes a by that.
Starting point is 00:30:57 She's like, oh, I'm not dead yet. I'm still alive, but if I fall far enough, I will have death. You know what? If, uh, if that would have been a deciding point, I would have given both, uh, both players the prize because that clearly was a stabbing death that just happens to be right before a fall. She was going to, I think she was not dead until she hit the ground and it may have ultimately been the sword. but I think you could have gone either way.
Starting point is 00:31:24 I think that's fair. All right. Well, good job, everybody. Not that it matters, because Dunaway destroyed me today. Destroyed. Like I said, I was due one. I lost a couple of in a row pretty badly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:37 I got rocked, man. Good redemption. All right. So, John, from Margaretville, you're getting a copy of RoboQuest and Pumpkin Jack, courtesy of Vogue. Those are both really good games. In particular, RoboQuest,
Starting point is 00:31:51 is like this first person shooter roguelike thing that had me hooked for months it's fantastic so good oh my gosh I didn't know these are the prizes that's awesome good job what if what if she had the sword in her but it was like landing on the sword that killed her like oh well it's just barely into my chest but oh no I'm falling oh landed on the sword
Starting point is 00:32:10 pushed her further in well actually according to the video it was thrust in her and then she fell and then when he looked down her little misty purple goo at the bottom now the sword is stabbed in it and through the ground, the opposite direction. Oh, yeah. So it makes me think they rolled over.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Mm-hmm. Because how is she going to do that. She went on her back, because then that's how the sword would have to be facing up. Oh, yeah, she'd have to land on her back. And maybe that force went shrunk, and it went all the way through her stupid dragon heart. Because the sword wasn't all the way through her before she landed,
Starting point is 00:32:41 like when she was still, yeah. That's right. All right. Wow, look at us. Look at us doing a little CSI-Dexter thing going on. We need a little red string to show the path of the bullets. But don't worry, Shane, from Hawaii. You are also getting a copy.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Don't worry, you are not going away sad or empty-handed. Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Oh, also very good. Played through that last year. It's fantastic. Yeah, so you are getting some, you're both getting some good freaking games. Yep, I would argue this is one of our biggest wind piles. This is fantastic.
Starting point is 00:33:15 You guys are going to really enjoy it. By the way, RoboQuest is amazing on the Steam Deck. So is Pumpkin Jack. Pumpkin Jack, you may think, is just like a Halloween game and you should never play it except then. And I can see why, because it is, it's a platformer with a guy with a jack-o-lantern head and everything in it's kind of Halloween theme. But you can play it any time of the year. It's real good. Fantastic little game.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Any time. Good job. Good job, you guys. You can have pizza anytime. Indeed. Brian will send you those codes because he has your info. And Donaway and I will be doing a play retro show tomorrow that will deal with a big for. all things, Defender.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Defend off. 42 years now since a release of the arcade? Crazy. How has it been 42 years? Yeah. Eugene Jarvis, a interesting fellow that kind of reminds me of Scott Fletcher in the way he looks.
Starting point is 00:34:08 He looks a lot like Fletcher, yeah. I'll give me that. He's also one of the weirdest dudes ever. He did that weird llama. It was like Tetris, or it was like Tempest, but it had a llama in it. Really? Right. yeah you know this guy in fact Tempest Tempest 2000 he
Starting point is 00:34:24 did as well when the Jaguar did that their only great game was Tempest 2000 and that was Eugene Jarvis guys oh I'm thinking of Jeff Minter never mind I'm going to say I don't think so he did smash TV and Robotron 208 I mixed him up defender I mixed up my
Starting point is 00:34:39 classic game designers once again but yes Defender is what we're talking about tomorrow and it's going to be great because you got to fly down and pick up a little dudes you got to fly up and shoot all kinds of stuff You've got to use 19 buttons to do it. That was the worst part of that thing is all the buttons. So quick question.
Starting point is 00:34:57 And feel free to say, oh, we'll answer that on Play Retro tomorrow. What's a better game, Stargate or Defender? Oh. Did they improve it for the season? It certainly added some elements. Stargate, instead of hyperspacing, like, through a button out of the five buttons and defender. We actually had skiers all over the, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:17 You'd have to hit the Stargate and hit it that way. I think that was a step up. I think that made it more organized. I think it's a fun argument between the two, whether one's better or the other, until Sinistar comes in and destroys them both. How about that? Yeah, yeah. Oh, I am Sinister.
Starting point is 00:35:34 And he just eats the other two games for lunch. I love that guy, dude. It's a bummer that New Wave Toys hasn't made a Defender yet, because I would totally, totally grab that one. My one-up in the other room is that. It's Defender. You have a Defender machine, right, an arcade one-up. Yeah, it's a combo.
Starting point is 00:35:51 So it's got Defender Gauntlet, Joust, and I don't remember. Is that the full-size one or is that the party-cade one? No, it's the little shorty one. It's one of their shorties. Oh, I'm so jealous of you. Well, I think you can still get it. I think. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Not that one. It was like $2.50. $2.99. Yeah, you can get them all. Find them at Coles. Not the $199. Do you have the 40th anniversary? You both of not be talking.
Starting point is 00:36:20 talking about the same one. Well, the machine that I have, so let me tell you what this is. I have the machine that has all four of those games in it, and it's mostly branded as, what's the monkey one? Rampage. So it's mostly got Rampage marketing all over it. On the front banner thing and on the sides, it's all rampage all day. I got it for joust, but it includes joust gaust gauntlet and Defender, and they barely even mentioned
Starting point is 00:36:46 Defender anywhere on it, although it does have the button to need for Defender. I'm thinking of. Yeah, you're thinking of something else. Right. Must be. Yeah, I'm thinking of the one that has like the one-to-one button layout that you would see on Defender. It was a 40th anniversary one. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Yeah, this one's a little bit different than that. Yeah. It's, I have to admit, the least thing I've played on there is Defender because even with a different button layout, it's just a lot of buttons, dude. It's just too much. Yeah, it's more of a joust guy and, I don't know, Rampage. Rampage is fun for about five minutes. Yeah. Not a lot of replayability.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Yeah. I think with Rampage. So, yeah. But you get to eat the people at the building. That's my favorite part. But it's like I bought a donut for the sprinkles, you know? What's wrong with that? Exactly, because the sprinkles are like all over the cabinet.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Like the sprinkles are how that thing is decorated. Or I went to, I was really, you know, craving some chicken wings. So I bought an entire chicken and just ate the two wings and threw the rest away. That's what I did. Anyway, Brian, it's always fun. Yes, it's a good analogy. tomorrow we'll be exploring that analogy and more and it'll be at 3.30 Mountain Times
Starting point is 00:37:51 you want to watch us live here at frogpants.tv or you can just check out the podcast wherever you get him. Brian Dunaway, have a fantastic rest of your day. No, you. I wanted him to get it in, you know. Yeah. I don't want to stop him. That was one of your best analogies
Starting point is 00:38:09 in the past few weeks. Oh, gosh. Wrinkles and donut. Oh, that's fantastic. Not that your other ones are bad, but I mean, that nailed it. Totally, totally nailed it. It wasn't so stupid and obscure that it made your mind go somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Good, I'm finally getting there. It's almost like when you buy a dog for your grandma and the dog licks the grandma's feet. It's almost like that. I'll cop to that. I admit it. All right, here is some, oh, we have time for news. And dance by the light of the moon. Time for the news brought to you by.
Starting point is 00:38:45 The Horror in Darkfall. module made for roll 20 version created by a fellow tadpooler named tin tin get it today by searching horror in darkfall at dmsgild.com that's dmsgild dot com nice yeah it's a pretty common source for dms to use so they probably already know this but but the link is hideous so just go search for it the horror in darkfall it's very cool horror in dark fall always like hearing when our people are doing cool cool stuff and by the way i should mention this if you join our Patreon, or sorry, our Discord, which you can do easily, I've made a link forward. Why not both?
Starting point is 00:39:21 We'll do both. But go to frogpants.com slash Discord and sign up because there's a group in there or a room in there that's called, let me pull it up, promote yourself. And people in there are always putting like a live Twitch stream or projects they're doing or a book they just released or whatever. You put stuff in there, things jump out. And I'm like, well, let's put them in the show. That's why this is here today. So if you want to be, you know, want your thing pimped, for lack of a better term. go put it in there.
Starting point is 00:39:49 All right, Brian, let's get to this first story. The Pirates of the Caribbean in the news. Oh, boy. Those darn pirates. Pretty sure I got this from you. You absolutely did. Yeah. This is a story from Brian, I think.
Starting point is 00:40:01 So damn funny. Pirates of Caribbean riders rescued from sinking boat by Disneyland Fire Department. They literally had to walk the plank to escape a sinking pirate. Pirates of the Caribbean boat that left them stranded for an hour before Disneyland Fire Department came to the rescue. For an hour. Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot, isn't it? That's a long time for a ride that you can walk through in shallow water in about eight minutes.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I feel like I would have gone, I might have been tempted to just go jump in and swim. Well, and it's shallow enough to stand in for, I think, 95% of the ride. The part that they were in, basically their boat stopped. I did a little research on this. Their boat stopped right after the load in. Yeah. And before you go through the Blue Bayou restaurant. So it's like in that little stretch, the really short stretch, and apparently bottomed out.
Starting point is 00:41:00 But there's not a really easy place for the Disneyland fire department, the DFD, as we call them, to get to them. Sure, that makes sense. I don't know. I feel like I would have gotten out and slosh my way home. I would have too. probably some unsafe thing about like, no, if you get out, your fiddle gets stuck in the chain that pulls the boats along and you'll get pulled under
Starting point is 00:41:19 some horrible, horrible thing there too. Yeah, who knows? I was going to say this is totally unrelated, but that Bayou restaurant has really good, they have good pickled onions. Oh, they have the best Monte Cristo you'll find. Yeah, that's also very good. But I came around, I had some kind of turkey or chicken thing
Starting point is 00:41:39 and they put these pickled onions. on red onions, they were so good. Oh, love that place. I got those. Used to serve bread. You know why they don't serve bread anymore? Why is that? People would throw them to the people passing in the boats. They'd like because they'd come and refill your bread basket
Starting point is 00:41:56 so they'd be like, hey, you guys want bread and they'd toss little rolls out to the boats going by. Really? Yeah. So that seems like, oh, thanks, honey. Sorry, Kim came with a room thing. Speaking of food getting thrown at you.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Uh, but they, uh, was I going to say now, I guess that makes sense. But the boats are, that's not, that's kind of a proximity problem. That's a Disneyland problem, if you ask me, like, put up a wall or do something. I guess it's a nice view, though, I get it. It's a nice view. And it makes Blue Bayou a restaurant with the best ambiance in, uh, in that part of Disneyland. I'd argue now that, um, August canteen in, uh, Black Spire Outpost has a much better ambiance because you're in Star Wars
Starting point is 00:42:41 Cantina, but you're also not getting a full meal in Ogah's canteen. You're getting snacks, bar snacks, and drinks. Do they have anything in that end of the park and the Star Wars end of it that has, like, a full restaurant, or is that just... Yes. Docking Bay 5 or something. I can't remember the full name,
Starting point is 00:42:57 but that place has like tri-tip beef and noodles. I think they call it Tontan meat or something like that. It's like they've got a ramen there, now. That's fantastic. It must be Docking Bay 93. No, because it's not the
Starting point is 00:43:13 name of the one from the movie. Docking Bay 7. Thank you, Cyborg, dude. Docking Bay 7. They should call it this. We're here. I would suggest then that old popular holiday favorite the Banther Rump. The Bantha Rump. I'm surprised nobody sells
Starting point is 00:43:27 a banther rump. There's Ronto raps at one of the restaurants, but no bantha rump. But yeah, if you're wanting to sit-down meal, good sit-down meal in Black Spireup docking base seven is where you go. Sounds all right.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Yep. Well, anyway, those people are fine now. So it's all good. Dead men wear, no. That's right. Disneyland provided them with $30 and a ride, any, like go through the lightning lane on any ride. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Like the super pass. Made up for it. And then 30 bucks for new socks that you'd put on and instantly resoak because your shoes are still soaking wet. Yeah. You need new, give me a ticket to pay less or something. Right. Give me some, I mean, they've got shoes somewhere in that park.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Give me some new shoes. That's crazy. It'd be great if an animatronic Johnny Depp uprooted itself and attacked the people. Just went crazy. Yeah. That's in there now, right? He's the, he's standing there. There's like about five or four, I think four animatronic Johnny Depp's in that ride now.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Are there any that are the guy with one eye from the movie that was also, forgot his name on the British office, but he was basically the Dwight? Right. the Dwight equivalent Gareth. I like that guy. No, the only other character that you see from the movies is Barbosa. Okay. He's on one of the
Starting point is 00:44:50 ships that's doing the cannon fire, which I think is the only part of that ride that is super deep other than where you land on any of the drops, but he malfunctioned once and tried to teach the king how to speak. And that was a little bit weird.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Why did you poop in my bed? is what he said moving on this is a good one stowa frog triggers an alarm during screening at Pennsylvania airport
Starting point is 00:45:17 or at the Pennsylvania airport or at one there's more than one stow away frog was my favorite Warner Brothers character oh he was hello my baby
Starting point is 00:45:25 hello my darling that one yeah Michigan J. Stow away J. Frog yep love it the stow away hopped out of a checked bag after it triggered an alarm during the TSA screening process
Starting point is 00:45:36 that fly hia i guess that's the uh hia is probably hia is the yeah is that stand for country code or there's country code airport code uh h i international airport but what's the h probably this town harrisburg probably okay that would be my guess because uh yeah that's a that's a that's an airport in pennsylvania the little creature was uh totally surprised oh god they wrote that not me okay chat And this isn't even the Huffington Post. No. It's spread far and wide.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Surprise when he spotted, or sorry, when he was spotted and asks for his froggiveness. This article makes me want to kill somebody. Forgiveness. Yeah. This find by TSA officers won't easily be frog gotten. Golly. Wow. Yeah, they're going to keep going.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Let's see if there's any more of these. That's just all so stupid. I know really quickly scared. they did it again with the totally in the frog givness yeah they kind of dipping into that dipping into that well twice they had some fun with it I guess but yeah the frog jumped out freaked everybody out and they had to
Starting point is 00:46:48 you know kind of lock things down before they get the frog don't take your frog on a flight that bag was packed so tightly they had to rib it open ah rib it open oh Brian you need to go work for upi.com unfortunately the frog croaked yeah uh see
Starting point is 00:47:06 it was green with envy what else frogpants.com they said it's nothing they want to go to whart over that's good that's good I had one more but I'm not going to say it
Starting point is 00:47:28 I'm going to the next story McDonald's is removing a tasteless sign that is now opposite of Cornwall Crematorium I swear we talked about a crematorium situation similar to this, but it's not the same. No, but there was something, yeah, there was something crematorium related. Oh, I know what it was. It was, no, it was a drug rehab center that would now cross the street from a grower. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:47:52 HTC or plant grower or pot grower. I can't say pot for some reason. I think that's what I was thinking of it. Well, this is a similar problem. Burger Giant McDonald's says it will remove a quote unquote tasteless sign opposite of crematorium and cornwall. This is in the U.K., I believe, after the unfortunate coincidental placement was pointed out by Cornwall Live, which is like some newspaper or website. Although the advertising hoarding has caused hilarity amongst motorists to spot, who spot it on the busy A39? Ooh, sounds like a fancy place to drive.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Others fear it may be upsetting grieving families. So the offending word is crispy. Or the Mick Crispy. Yeah, the Mick Crispy. Yeah. I don't think we have here. I don't think we've got a Mick Crispy. I think what we have is the McChicken and you can get in Krispier or...
Starting point is 00:48:46 Yeah, you order a... The sub-order is I'll have the Krispy version of the Mick Chicken. But over there, they full-on go, hey, we've got the McChrispy here in Britain. Crispy. Sounds like what, isn't that what Boba-Fet? I know, it's what Grito yells right before... He yells McRisly. He yells McRispy!
Starting point is 00:49:04 McRispy! what does he actually say i've forgotten now it's going to be maclunky is what people uh yeah mcclunky mcclunky i love that so much um let's see let's see uh babadababada one woman whose mother-in-law was cremated at the establishment last year says although i can see the funny side it is tasteless and i'm sure some grieving family members won't like to see it when they visit the crematorium or the funeral home there uh i don't know i think i mean mcdon't can do whatever they want yeah but i don't think it's that big a deal like no you just it's called them a crispy chit's a crispy piece of chicken the crematorium isn't crispy people they're burnt down to
Starting point is 00:49:48 ashes they're not crispy no no nobody goes to a crematorium to get crispy it was a mick ashy burger yeah you'd have something uh then you'd have something to complain about yeah if you're a mcashy or a mick uh a mick janes a mick remains or a mick jar on a shelf you know i don't you're not any of those things you don't you don't buy the mic remains burger you earn it yeah you earn it you earn it anyway so that's a fun thing uh finally let me share this story with you enough cocaine to supply australia for a whole year that's vague that seems really vague supply australia yeah i don't know what that means i want to see the breakdown uh per like supply an australia-sized group of Don Juniors or Charlie Sheens or just like if everyone had one snort.
Starting point is 00:50:41 I mean, you could have stopped at those two, and that's the entire supply. That's all about it. That's the entire supply. So it's enough cocaine to supply Australia for a whole year, found floating in the Pacific. Police seized 3.5 metric tons of cocaine floating in the Pacific Ocean worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and what officials are calling the biggest drug bust in New Zealand's history. Oh, those New Zealanders down there with their ban meetings.
Starting point is 00:51:02 This is why we've really got to be careful. Popping those balloons. I know, right? Atlantic. Yeah. Oh, man. I saw, um, who are the two? Germain and who's the other one in the flight of the concords?
Starting point is 00:51:15 No, flight of the concords. Germain and, uh, uh, uh, yeah, it's the. Brett, Brett McKenzie. Brett, Brett and Germain, yeah. Uh, I don't know why I couldn't think of that. Anyway, he, I forgot he was in Lord of the Rings for a very hot second. Oh, right. Tiny part in that song yesterday.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Anyway. Jimane Clements in the new Avatar movie. Oh, is he now? Is he an avatar? Is he a full-blown blue man? Why? You don't want me to tell you? Oh, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:51:45 That doesn't bother me. He's not an avatar. No, he's a scientist. That makes sense. And in a group of people with accents, for whatever reason, they made him speak with an English or American accent. Oh, wait, does he hide it well, or is he bad at it? He's pretty good at it.
Starting point is 00:52:00 It just seems really weird to see him, you know, and there's zero reason for it, he's like with a group of people like, oh, yeah, we're going to shoot down those avatars. Oh, okay. Well, let me help you out with that. Weird. Yeah, it's like, why?
Starting point is 00:52:13 Just have him be his accent. It's fine. Yeah, exactly. I agree. All right. Well, anyway, the police say this is all linked to South America. It often is to a cartel there specifically. And it's a ton of product.
Starting point is 00:52:26 And if everybody, oh, I see, so, so way down the article, it's like if everybody in the country did drugs, there'd be enough for all of them. It's basically what it says. Okay. all right there you have it that doesn't count kangaroos or dingoes though no no cocaine dingo they all in there cocaine dingoes man talk about your uh your animals that like a like a bump oh yeah they do you cocaine bear come out yeah there's that this week soon it's soon i don't know i don't know when cocaine bear comes i mean for me and you it'll come out on film sacks probably
Starting point is 00:52:56 when that's coming out exactly yes uh it's their date let's just see it is out Oh, it's out. Is it out? No reviews yet. Oh, no, I take that back. February 23rd. So this coming Thursday is the, I was like, I pulled it up in Google and it said, yeah, there's a 5 o'clock p.m. showing it the Harkins theater is Arvada, but that's Thursday, February 23rd.
Starting point is 00:53:18 No early reviews, but I'm sure it's just, you know what drives me to want to see it is Elizabeth Banks directing it. That's why I'm interested. Yeah. And also, if she wasn't related, this would absolutely just be a sci-fi channel. Shark Nato like, yeah, not even interested. Yeah, but produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, those guys are funny.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Jimmy Warden, don't know who that is. He's only done cocaine bear. I don't know. Anyway, we'll see. Poor Ray Leota. This will be Ray Leota's last. His last movie? It might be amazing. It might be amazing. Or is he going to have a, what's his name,
Starting point is 00:53:58 Raoul Julia, the street fighter, you know, kind of last movie. I don't know. John Candy was, Wagon's East. Wagon's East, yeah, that was bad. In fact, he died on that set, didn't he? Or something? Oh, God, really? I thought he did. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Ooh. That's a old memory. Brooklyn Prince. We've seen her in, uh, oh, the Florida Project. Tell me you've seen Florida Project. I have not seen the Florida Project. Man, that was so good. Is that the, it's got the Joker in it, or not the Joker, the Green Goblin in it? Is that the one? Yes. Uh-huh. Yep. He's the Schneider of this apartment building in Florida where these, uh,
Starting point is 00:54:34 kids and their their mom live and uh it it's a very like oh wow people can live like that holy mackerel kind of felt all right i'm in i should just finally watch it and it's one i meant you should it doesn't have subtitles you'll you'll get right through it uh i know subtitles don't freak you out but you've held off on parasite and r r r r r r has an english thing right it does yeah they both have English dubs available. Sure. I might just do that with Parasite. I still want to read for two hours. Why? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:11 You like comic books? You can read comic books for two hours. That's different though. That's different though because I control the pacing. In a movie, I want to watch their faces and their performance. You want to have your phone or your iPad out while you watch a film. No. So you can like look stuff up. I don't want to do it. Oh, crap. What I missed? Not a good movie. Like if it's a really good like big deal movie, I want to watch it and I want focus on those people, not the words at the bottom of that damn screen. I don't even like
Starting point is 00:55:35 movies where they try to create authenticity by putting in subtitles for the scenes where there's somebody not speaking English. I feel like I'm missing the people saying it. I just see the words. Like when they're speaking Elvish and Lord of the Rings? Yeah, actually. I would,
Starting point is 00:55:50 that's a good example. I don't want to hear Arwen expressing her love for Animal crackers. Animal crackers. Oh, Lord. Anyway, we're going to take a break when we come back. Stephen Schleika.
Starting point is 00:56:08 We'll be with us. Yeah. We have a question for him from a listener as well as some spoiler-free Ant-Man 3 talk, okay? That's right. That's right. We'll be able to talk about film length and its title. Yeah. That's about it.
Starting point is 00:56:23 I think that's it. Some of it's a known, like I need to know what you guys think of the Modoc. The Modoc, yeah. I'll be happy to. to talk about my feelings on their use of Modoc. Yeah, which is in the trailer, so it's not like you guys haven't seen that. We'll keep it to that, everybody. We'll keep it to nice, easy stuff that isn't, that isn't spoilery.
Starting point is 00:56:43 It may not matter that much anyway. I don't know. We'll find out. But we'll get around to that in a second after the song break. Brian Abbott has a song. What are we doing? Yeah, we got a five-piece indie outfit called The Hales, H-A-I-L-S. This is their brand-new single Breathless.
Starting point is 00:56:57 And they're also announcing a run of upcoming tour dates, the happy fits these guys are great they are where are they from I was like saying like oh we're going to Sydney and Australia
Starting point is 00:57:09 for this band they're touring Nashville Atlanta Orlando and Tampa so I'm going to guess they're probably from that part of the part of the country
Starting point is 00:57:16 let's see here anyway the band is called the Hales this is their brand new single Breathless If I saw you in the morning then I'd walk up Around the dark side of a friendly conversation on the moon,
Starting point is 00:57:37 but I don't want you in the morning. Take a piece of what you came for and be careful on the door out on the way. Well, I would have to say it's evidence that this won't have a word. I want to lose my mind I don't want to wait around for all I hope I really have to go but I don't want to stop because she takes all my money
Starting point is 00:58:22 she never remembers the call She still leaves me breathless. I'll be the first to let her own. Heaven is your simple daylight. It's been shining on the altar of a sermon on the Sunday, afternoon with seven men to call
Starting point is 00:59:05 it's awful that I know about the worst at times I want to lose my mind and I don't want to wait around for all I hope I really got to go but I don't want to stop because she takes all my moon
Starting point is 00:59:29 She never remembers the call She still leaves me breathless I'll be the first to let her know She still leaves me breathless She still leaves me breathless She still leaves me breathless. Now let's just take a for instance, a customer is at the door. door. She wants to
Starting point is 01:00:28 try on some items and then maybe she'll try on more. Now inside this card is a very special greeting and I want you to read it to Ralph. Would you do that? The morning stream. Maybe it's Ransom. And we're back.
Starting point is 01:00:56 me who that was again so i don't forget yeah that car let me get the card out for what the band was that i just played uh that's the uh the band the hails brand new single called breathless for all you all you kids out there that was liberachi okay just so you know yes i thought it was paul lynde but uh hey you know it's like you know what he sounds like a quiet like a chilled out paul lynde he does right yeah because paul lin's like yeah he's usually freaking out but him, you know, he's like on downers or something. It's weird. Yep. All right. There you go. That's the thing we did there. How about we get Stephen in here?
Starting point is 01:01:35 How about that? Yeah. How about that? All right. We're pulling him in. How about it? Going to play his little intro here. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Stephen Schleiker. Now hopefully, fully recovered or close to it from stupid winter flu cold thing. You had. Yeah. But never was the COVID's, yeah?
Starting point is 01:01:59 It was just... No, no. My wife checked me out multiple times for the COVID. It was not the COVID. Yeah. Bad flu season, too. I've got a neighbor who's in a real pinch right now with like pneumonia, business and all that. Just from some heinous flu that he got his flu shots with some other strain, you know?
Starting point is 01:02:17 Who knows? I don't know. But I'm glad you're okay, dude. You came up for air and you're breathing. You're good. I'm alive. Oh, good. That's fantastic.
Starting point is 01:02:25 I'm glad you. to stay. Although after going to our local AMC theater, I wish I was dead. Oh, I can't wait to hear about it. Oh, okay, good. We're going to hear about that because you don't do that very often. Before we get there, though, I want to play... And I think I think I have determined that June 30th will be the final time I step into an AMC theater.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Oh, my. Wait, what's June 30th? What is that? The Raiders of the Lost Arckey. Oh, okay. What if that's so bad? I mean, I don't think it will be because James Mangold is awesome and I love him and I think he makes good movies. Could it be? It still won't be the worst that the M.
Starting point is 01:02:56 no it won't be it can't be right no matter no matter how bad it is it'll never be crystal skull it can't be that bad it can't be that bad yeah all right i'm safe we're safe um the last or the next time i'm probably going to a movie theater will be the dune it'll be this fall for dune part two mm-hmm i said dune too which is a video game but anyway uh let's dive in here now before you do anything else i got to play this all right so hold on uh no case shit out of luck dot com all right all right That's Christine, and she sent this in. Christine Fletcher, wife of venerable voiceover artist, Scott Fletcher. She says, hey, friends, what's the backstory on Stephen's sign-off?
Starting point is 01:03:38 Stay hydrated. I feel like I should know, but I don't, says Christine. Well, it's interesting. We're talking about Marvel movies because it originally started out as Hale Hydra and then evolved into Stay Hydrated. Oh, I didn't know that. See, I couldn't have told her. You have a memory of stone. I have one of...
Starting point is 01:03:54 Hail hydration. Yeah. All right. So there it is. Christine, does that satisfy you? And if not, go to shit out of luck.com. And you'll get all the details you need. We love Christine. We hope she's doing good. Can't wait to see her in Vegas. All right. Let's get to The Ant Man discussion. We'll be a spoiler. What a perfectly fine movie. Yeah. Is that your overall? Perfectly fine. Yeah. That's probably a good, you know. I would say it's a very good placeholder between seasons one and two of Loki.
Starting point is 01:04:25 that's interesting I haven't heard that kind of that kind of summation since Star Trek what was the one that was just like an episode and it was the movie though and it was broke one
Starting point is 01:04:40 no the stretchy face no Star Trek not Nemesis but the one before that Star Trek Insurrection? Insurrection I think that's it yeah and it had F. Murray Abraham in it I think that's the one
Starting point is 01:04:55 right um but that one is uh what i always think of when people say this when they say oh it's fine it's like a it's like a middle episode of some show i'm watching and that's that's what they always used to refer to that as is like yeah that was a pretty good episode of tng on tv because they didn't feel like a movie but but in this case i mean do you guys feel like some some people have said to me oh don't wait till disney plus this is just weird filler to try to connect a few dots that it's not a great story on its own you oh really i think i enjoyed it a little bit more than Stephen. I would...
Starting point is 01:05:23 Well, yeah, it's obviously because it's got Modok in it. Well, yeah, but Modok wasn't even the reason that I liked it. I mean, I feel like it was saying that it takes a dark turn. Again, won't surprise anyone. The first two Ant-Man films are very comedic,
Starting point is 01:05:38 and this one has to take a dark turn because it is introducing the next boss fight, the next Avengers boss level. But I feel like it it I don't know it stayed it was a good pacing the whole way through I I wasn't finding myself questioning like
Starting point is 01:05:59 well why would the characters choose to do that and not this other thing right yeah I would I would say there is one pacing issue in the third act that has to do with Hank Pym showing up at one point I was like well that really felt like it should have been sooner instead of there but that's you know people will see that and see what goes on um there is no this is all a plot story there's no b or c subplot it is straight here's here's what the problem is and everybody's on board to take care of the problem yeah
Starting point is 01:06:32 and is that do you think that works is it is a fun romp are you i mean you can just you can just go and enjoy the visuals in the story and the action for two hours without going okay now what was going on here now what was happening here you don't have to worry too much about that although to be fair. Marvel movies don't have a whole lot of that going on. A lot of people felt like some, well, some of the reviews I've read, okay, so keep in mind, this is just some reviews, have said
Starting point is 01:06:57 that the special effects through them, because everybody felt like they were floating heads in a video game. No, that's Modoc. No, no, that's not what I mean, though. Like, in the case of like, I mean like Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, when they'd have their helmets off,
Starting point is 01:07:14 they looked like their faces just green screened into a video game. Really? No. I did not get that at all. Okay. That's good. The big thing that I got out of this was, wow, Disney sure does love using the volume now that they've shown that it works. Yeah, they do like that. And there's also many scenes where you're like, yeah, this was definitely shot during COVID because you can tell everyone's keeping their distance. Oh, really? I didn't, now that you say that, I can see, I can think of some scenes where it's like,
Starting point is 01:07:42 all right, why aren't these people? And we've got some characters that. are just completely CGI. So let's just fill up the space in between them with that. Interesting. Is Bill Murray interesting or good? Or what's his deal? It's a small role. He does.
Starting point is 01:07:55 He's good. Yeah. All right. And it's a small role. I mean, it's for people that are like, Bill Murray's in this? I mean, that was like,
Starting point is 01:08:02 again, he's in the trailer. So that's also not a spoiler. Yeah. His scene is maybe 10 minutes tops. Yeah. But he's very Bill Murray throughout the whole thing. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Very much like Jeff Goldblum is very much Jeff Goldblum. in Ragnarok. Gotcha. Yeah, very good comparison. I'd say that we're finally getting stingers that move the story forward instead of just like, hey, here's a couple E-list characters that we haven't shown in a Marvel movie yet. So guess what? Here they are.
Starting point is 01:08:35 Da-da-da. Yeah. But I will say I enjoyed this more than Thor Love and Thunder, which I thought was good. I actually enjoyed this more than Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness. Yeah, I'd say I kind of would agree with you on that too. And I will say, let me ask you this, Brian. Could you tell which part was supposed to be Stan Lee's part? Yes.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Again, it's something you see in the trailer, but yes, pretty obvious. Like, oh, that was going to be Stanley probably right there. Yeah. Oh, weird. All right. So let's talk Modoc. Yeah. Get that out of the way, please.
Starting point is 01:09:11 Corey Stoll as an actor. He's a fine actor, but I hate every time he is on anything that he's in. Because he's just a slimy, awful character in every role he plays. And I just hate him. I hate him. So why is the... He makes us very good part to play that kind of character. So Corey Stoll, known for the first Ant Man, he's the Darren Cross character.
Starting point is 01:09:34 He's Yellow Jacket. So that's some real rec canon of where Modoc's from, right? Oh, yeah. I mean, this is not, because they're not going to say, all right, we've got AIM laboratories working on increasing somebody's intelligence, and that makes their head super huge. Yeah. That makes them super smart and drives them crazy. It's, you know, it's, this is the way we're going to get MODOC into the, into the MCU. Oh, wait a minute, Brian.
Starting point is 01:10:03 What? This is the fourth time we've had a MODOC in the MCU. In the MCU? Fourth. Wait, okay, hold on a second, because you're not counting the Pat and Oswald. Nope, not that. This is the Marvel Cinematic Universe Media franchise. Yeah. This is the fourth time we've had a modoc. Really?
Starting point is 01:10:21 What are the other three? Yeah, what are the other three? The first one was Aldrich Killian in the Iron Man Three, the official game. Okay. That was M.C.U. Okay. Yep. Then there's the Superior, who was the life model decoy designed only for killing the L. Modocs. in the fourth and fifth seasons of Agents of Shield. Okay. And then in the pilot for new warriors,
Starting point is 01:10:47 Keith David did the voice for Modoc. I love Keith David so much. I want to see that now. I have not even heard of the pilot for new warriors. Okay. So does that just mean we got a multitude of MODOCs? It's Modoc multiverse? I think this is, it is whatever you want it to be.
Starting point is 01:11:09 I was going to find a bunch of trivia for that's hilarious. And I saw that this was the fourth one in the MCU. That blew my enlarged by AIM mind. So, well done. I really wished we would have gotten, I mean, I can't wait for AIM to show up as like the real aim. As more than just Guy Pearce's deal from like you said, Iron Man 3. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I really want to see some guys in B suits running around just being done.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Oh, man, that is, I do want to see that. That's the future. I mean, that's the future of what we do with Iron Man, right? I mean, whatever we're going to do with the Iron Man and the suits and who owns them now and who's who and Iron Heart and all that. The future of Iron Man is purely going to be Iron Heart. Yeah. I don't think we're going to get, I don't think we're going to get the Stark versus Aim thing going forward. I don't know how they bring, without Stark.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Let's, let's, Scott, did you finally watch Loki season one? I did. Yeah, we watched for a couch party. Yeah. Did you watch Multiverse of Madness? I did. I liked it a lot, except, well, I liked it when it was the most Sam Ramey, yeah, the Sam Ramey bits with like the crazy zooms and the horror moments. I love that stuff.
Starting point is 01:12:23 I thought the rest was a little light and not great. So, you know, it's been how many years since the first Iron Man movie and, man, we sure need a reboot of the Iron Man movie? 2008, so that would be. It's been over 10 years. Yeah, it's almost 20 years And this franchise is very much Indeed of a reboot. And if you've seen Loki Season 1 and Multiverse of Madness,
Starting point is 01:12:46 man, you can certainly reboot the entire Avengers line. See, that's where I would not be surprised. I think at some point, you can't just keep going down the same timeline road. You're going to have to, people want a new
Starting point is 01:13:01 they want new stories around Captain America. They want new stories around Iron Man. And I think either you do that with television or you reboot them or you do something. I don't know if they have that kind of game plan in mind. Maybe they do with this. I mean, I don't know. I'm not giving any spoilers for
Starting point is 01:13:16 Quantum Mania at all. And I think that's a way, you know, that their introduction of the multiverse was for that reason so that they can say, all right, we can have another Iron Man. We can have another Captain America. You know, basically any character, any actor that wants to leave and go do
Starting point is 01:13:33 something else. Guess what? We can bring them in, bring that character in as the multiverse version of that of that hero yeah and part of me kind of wants to see what that looks like even though i know it feels risky right like a new iron man's like oh this isn't our this isn't uh our jr whatever's name is this isn't who we're used to oh no that's not pepper pots that i'm you know like that can throw people but we've already seen it happen and people are super accepting of it because we've had two professor exes in the xman franchise yeah two different actors playing that and people are just like
Starting point is 01:14:07 perfectly fine with that. Yeah, but you did a time shift though, right? Like you went, you went, hey, this is before and also there's a crossover in the one. They have, they had them both in one of them. Um, I think you can be forgiving of that. I guess if you do that sort of stuff, then yeah, people will forgive it. Like you, you make some kind of through lines and not just say all we're starting over. You could bring in a young Tony Stark. I mean, you've, you've kind of already seen a young Steve Rogers. So that might be a little difficult to do to say, well, this is what Steve Rogers looks like in universe six. 16, but over this other universe, here's what young Steve Rogers looks like.
Starting point is 01:14:42 Yeah. But, you know who'd be a good young Tony Stark? Sorry, the guy played Goose's son and the Maverick thing. What's his name? Oh, yeah, Teller. Miles Teller. Miles Teller be a good. He rocks that mustache, is what I'm getting at.
Starting point is 01:14:57 He does rock the mustache. And I guess you just have him, you know, wearing all of Tony Stark's clothes so that in the movie, you know, that he's young Tony Stark. Right, right, that's all you have to do And he'll play piano and sing just like Tony Stark Because you know, that's how you know That's the only way you know with his roles He has to make sure you know it's him Real quick though, like couldn't he
Starting point is 01:15:21 Or okay, here's a fun idea What if Like James Earl Jones did He's sold off the rights to his voice And the Darth Vader voice To somebody else so they can use it later and by use it I mean reproduce it deep fake it you know audio fake it whatever we are not that far from a future where you couldn't have an actor look just like robert downy junior playing ironman
Starting point is 01:15:50 again in a younger age or a different universe or whatever we're not that far from that so what if what if kevin fegey's just sitting on his hands going one day we're deep faking the whole thing where's my hat i got to wear my hat for this interview where's my hat right you can already do that just keep Iron Man's helmet closed the entire time and never do that internal face cam like they use and just... They did that they did that quite effectively in
Starting point is 01:16:15 the, was it the first Spider-Man Homecoming movie where the suit comes out and rescues him and you think it's Tony Stark in there and giving him re-shirt and then suddenly the suit opens up and you realize Tony is in India at a wedding. Oh, right, he was remote. Yeah, he did a remote job.
Starting point is 01:16:31 That's an easy way to do all that. Perfect. Yeah, I don't know. Now, they just... You say what you have just said, Scott, I want to, I've, I've mentioned this movie before, and I think people should go and check it out. There's a movie called The Congress, which I think came out in 2014. It stars Robin Wright as Robin Wright, who sold all of her likeness rights to the studios following the success of the Princess Bride. And she never ages in the movies because it's her virtual double. And now her son, I think in the movie, her son needs some medical stuff.
Starting point is 01:17:03 And so she has to go back and try to renegotiate her likeness rights to get more movies money out of the studios because she sold that off before. So that's the first thing. Oh, this sounds totally cool. It's animated. No, it's not. No, it's the boxes, the poster is animated. But yeah, the poster, she looks like, she looks like pinhead without the pens. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:23 And then, of course, the news of Bruce Willis finally retiring because of his mental deterioration. he has sold his likeness to a deep fake firm yeah it's a thing now that's yeah i don't remember if that is just for a commercial work or if it is for ongoing like acting stuff die hard six uh yeah no whatever die did die faker or something i know yeah trying to try to this movie looks good robin wright uh the harvey kaitel john ham paul giamati this sounds it's a movie that just went totally under the radar because everybody was like this all never happen and it's a small indie movie and now it's like more relevant than ever and it's like
Starting point is 01:18:05 in your old movie streaming on peacock so people can watch it right away yeah Hulu as well Okerface. Is it on Hulu? Yeah it's on Hulu as well Hulu. Oh, is it on Hulu? Yeah, it's a Hulu Yeah, it's a Hulu? Oh, there it is right there. Why doesn't put Hulu up in my Just Watch? Come on, what's going on? Yeah, what are you doing just watch? My watch house section. Yeah, poo
Starting point is 01:18:25 poo on you. I got, Rotten Tomatoes has a link to it. They say it's on there, but we got to talk about the elephant in the room and that is the acting powerhouse that is Jonathan Majors who who is the best part of quantumania by far doesn't surprise me to hear that I love him yeah I mean can we I mean will we be spoiling anything no by saying that he's in it no I don't know that he's in it no no he is he is great and again for anybody that has seen Loki season one Jonathan Majors plays Kings of Conqueror in Loki's season one. And he is fantastic. No, he plays the one who remains. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The one who remains. How many Kangs are there? I would point to everybody's, this is one of my favorite field groups, Ukla the Mock. They have a fantastic song called Kang the Conqueror. And Brian, if you have not listened to it, you need to listen to it because it's funny. No, I haven't. I love And everybody needs to listen to the King, the Conqueror's song to understand one of the mid-credit sequences.
Starting point is 01:19:30 The stingers? Yeah. Okay. All right. I check that out as well. I haven't heard the song, but I understand the mid-credit sequence. I mean, I'm sure you do. There's four modos in the MCU. Okay. Good point. You win. You in. Yes. Good point. So, so with his, he's got that Creed 3 coming up. He's, uh, he, I wish they were, this summer. Yeah, there's something else going on.
Starting point is 01:19:57 I'll just, I'd watch that do do anything. Open a pack of gum. I'll pay, I'll pay a buck to watch that. Lovecraft Country is a great watch anyway, but he's fantastic. Yeah, he's so good. Yeah. I wish that was getting a new season. That'd be nice.
Starting point is 01:20:10 Dude, it's freaking jacked for Creed 3. Holy crap. Oh, he's the trailer for that. He is a, he is a beast. Absolute beast. I don't know what his workout looks like, but it ain't what mine looks like. amazing huge man uh all right if someone came to you scott if someone came to you scott real quick and said we want to hire a marvel uh trainer for you so you can get jack like these
Starting point is 01:20:33 marvel stars we will pay for all of it would you do it or would you like be like no thank you oh i'd do it yes i'd yeah yeah if they're gonna heartbeat yeah if they're gonna pay for it and they're and it's the real deal they got like the dietitians everybody involved yeah Can we get to pick which one we get to be jacked like? Yeah. Can I have Michael B. Jordan's trainer? Yeah. Or you know what?
Starting point is 01:20:58 Even better. Like somebody who's older than us, but still Jacked, like Hugh Jackman, funny enough, as a name. You get me Jackman's trainer and say it's all on us? Hell yeah. I'll do it. Let's go. Even if it was the most miserable experience of your life.
Starting point is 01:21:12 100%, because you're only talking to like a couple of months of hardcore. Three months, six months of hardcore. Yeah. Yeah, I would do it. And then the hard bit, see, this is the hard bit. knowing how hard it would be to maintain after because I know I could go from from freaking Batman to Cheney you go from Thor to endgame Thor yeah yeah or you know or gladiator to Zeus and Thor for Russell Crow like I I know it's that stuff's really hard to
Starting point is 01:21:40 maintain especially as you get older so I would struggle with that part of it knowing that and they're not going to always be there for me but I would love the kickstart you know just get it going. Yeah. Yeah. Paul Rudd, I think I would want to have Paul Rudd's trainer just to get down. I mean, I don't need to have jacked muscles or anything like that. But he actually did a recent interview for, I can't remember if his men's health or GQ on their YouTube channel, where he talks about his weight training and his regiment. It is not as bad as like Chris, what's his name? Hem'sworth. Starlord and the stuff that he has to go through or the other Chris or that other Chris. The three Chris's, yeah. Yeah, the three Chris's. And the training that they have to go through is radically different. So I think I would rather have Paul Rudd's trainer. I think so, too.
Starting point is 01:22:27 He also, he colors his hair, but he does it so well that you can't tell. He's just, Paul Rudd's an embarrassment to all other men. We're all embarrassed. Anyway, he's funny. He's handsome. He's good looking. He doesn't age. And he can make himself tiny.
Starting point is 01:22:46 All right, then. Well, there's your, there's your, there's your Ant Man 3. We didn't give any spoilers. This is amazing. No. Didn't even mention Cheaty from the good places in this. No. That's all I'm going to say about him.
Starting point is 01:22:56 Yeah. He's fantastic as well. I will say don't look at the IMDB page for this movie because either there's a cutscene or I miss something because they list a prominent actor in the movie. And it's like, I didn't see that person once in this movie. Well, I mean, are you talking about someone who is in the first two? let's just say it is a character actor who has appeared in multiple Marvel stuff because he's one of the he is basically the replacement for um AJ Colson yeah I gotcha okay and he's listed in this movie as like one of the top
Starting point is 01:23:30 five actors and it's like he's not in this movie well the one the one that surprised me again not a spoiler is David Dest Malcham oh yes who's listed in the credits and I was like oh great we're going to see that that character who works for Scott Lang at the security thing never you know not a spoiler to say you don't see him but you're not even a flashback
Starting point is 01:23:52 or like anything he's in there is he he's the character is not oh no his yes his character is not the actor yes but the actor is in there okay oh interesting okay I like that guy there you go yep unfortunately
Starting point is 01:24:07 he will not be in Dune part two for reasons well he was killed Oh, yeah, right. That's a very good reason. Yeah, very good reason not to be in there. Anyway, that's it. Hey, Stephen, speaking of things that are spoilery,
Starting point is 01:24:21 your entire site is called major spoilers.com. Yeah. Even though you don't really spoil that much. But you review stuff all the time and make recommendations. You have a whole podcast network and all kinds of fun stuff. What would you like to tell people about this week? I know people have been listening to our critical hit show for over 15 years now, and it's great.
Starting point is 01:24:37 And I'm sure people have been sitting there going, Stephen, when are you going to sit down and GM an entire campaign? Well, you only have to wait till this weekend because this weekend I kick off GMing a campaign for our critical hit game. It's Octum Cthulhu. We are punching Nazis in the face and fighting Cthulian horrors all against the backdrop of World War II. Check it out. It's critical hit over at major spoilers.com. And for the record, his Cthulian horrors, not horrors, okay?
Starting point is 01:25:04 They might be those too. You never know. Well, you do never know. Eldridge horror. She's very expensive. Anyway, hey, Stephen. It's been a real treat, and I hope you have a great week. And is there any advice you would give us if we're just trying to, you know, be healthy and get along and all that?
Starting point is 01:25:19 Stay hydrated. I know. Christine, you never have to ask again. Yep. I forgot about the origin of that, so I'm glad she asked. No, I completely had no idea. I was afraid it was something that you and I did specifically and we were going to feel dumb for not remembering, but I don't remember a thing about it. All right, couple things.
Starting point is 01:25:41 Diablo show today. stuff over the last few days. That game has now got an open beta date as well as an early access to the beta date. They also showed the entirety of the, when you create a new
Starting point is 01:25:56 character and the game begins, so like in graphic sort of transition to you walking around doing your first movements in that game, they showed that entire sequence, which is super interesting. Some people are dumb and thought it was a cinematic and they're all disappointed. I'm like,

Okay, Matthew, L.C. Knight, and the Tadpool wrote in. It's a long letter, tuck in. Dear Boot, Scootin' and Boogie, or just scooting and buggy, but he has boot in parentheses to make the S&B thing.
Starting point is 01:29:01 My name is Matthew, and when I can be in the chat room, I'm there as LC Knight. On Twitter, I'm known as a nightmare. I've been a longtime member of the Tadpool and Beyond. I was an avid listener to ELR and I've been listening to Coverville, through all of its iterations. I'm writing today because I have to be grateful to you and want to share it with you. Two summers ago on Memorial Day, I had to have two heartstance added due to my high blood pressure. On January 4th of last year, I went blind in my right eye.
Starting point is 01:29:27 Scott and I have talked to the email a few times since that. TMS and all the other Frogpen studios stuff has gotten me through many an hour in my multiple stays in the hospital. Over the last few months, I spent three weeks in the ER and in the hospital again due to high blood pressure and heart stents. I've also lost sight in my left eye for a while and had to prepare to possibly be blind just as I reach the age of 50. Now it seems I'm beginning to see out of that eye and may even stream again soon. I've started to pick up 3D printing as well. I have not taken care of myself much, and that caused most of my issues. The request that I'm requesting here is not for me, but for the woman that I've found, or she found me,
Starting point is 01:30:06 who has become my eternal companion wife, Wow Tank, and Advocate. She was the one who wouldn't let the doctors release me from the hospital until they found a reason for my pain, and hence quite literally saved my life. My wife, Deirdre, had her birthday or has her birthday on February 20th, and while she doesn't listen all the time like I do, she will certainly hear this episode. I can't wait to introduce you to her at TMS Vegas. Brian, could you please find something like, you're my best friend, close to you, Sancho my life, or even back to Pooh Corner. That would mean a lot to me. If not, I trust you can find a good 70s cover all about the love I feel. feel. Love the glow toe. I'm missing one of those too. Signed Elsie Knight, aka Matthew.
Starting point is 01:30:47 Nice. Glad he's doing good. No kidding. Yeah, that's a lot, man. Jeez. And thank goodness for Deirdre helping you out and being the rock that we all need in our lives. All right, let's get to this. This is a brand new cover that your request to help me find. As a matter of fact, not just a new cover, but a new band, a supergroup, an Australian supergroup made up of folks from The Boy and Bear, all our exes live in Texas, hot spoke and the Whitlams. I'm talking about a band called A-Sides Club, and these guys have a bunch of different albums all centered around certain artists, so they cover a bunch of songs by one artist and put them all together in an album, and now I've discovered all of these new albums that I've got to listen
Starting point is 01:31:28 to, and it's made me super, super happy. On their Queen album, they cover You're My Best Friend. It came out in 2018. I'm sorry, 2018, here is, you're my best friend by A Science Club. Thank you all for listening. We'll be back tomorrow with a brand new episode. We'll see you then.
