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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Not Margarita Vell, but Margaretville.
No.
Still.
That's too bad.
Yay, John.
Who?
Yeah.
All right.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
because I'm Anthony,
but this one's Antony.
Right.
Antony.
Antony.
Antony.
Antony.
Antony.
Antony.
Um,
hmm.
I only know one for sure here.
Shit.
I know.
I think I know one.
I think I know one.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yep.
Hunchback in Notre Dame.
And indeed, he does fall to his death.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So Scott got that one.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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!
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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...
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.
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
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
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...
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,
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
Oh, you make me live.
Who you make me live?
You make me live.
Whatever this world can give to me.
It's you.
you're all I see
Who you made me live
Now honey
Who you made me live
You're the best friend
That I ever had
Been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
I want you to know
that my feelings are true
I really love you

you make me
laugh
I've been wandering around
but still come back to you
rain or shine
by boy
Happy and home
You're my best friend
Who you made me
Whatever this world
It's cruel to me
I got you to help
you to give
Oh
Who you made me live
Now honey

You're the first one
When things turn up back
