Hi, Brian. Hello, it's midweek. We're halfway done. We're halfway there. Living on a prayer. That's right. I'm running on beef and kimchi. Brian's running on two and a half hours of sleep.

We got this. Yeah, we got this. It'll be great show, folks. Between old farty and sleepy And Scott Farton will be Old gassy and sleepy Taking over your airwaves The two dwarfs, they don't talk about as much

Well, I guess they do talk about sleepy They do a little bit Yeah, yeah If you want to hear Brian's latest fun with his back You want to tune into our pre-show If you're a Patreon Patreon person

Yeah, so all right Is it the people So the service is Patreon But aren't the people who support us Just patrons? They're just patrons I don't know why people People call them Patrions.

I like that. Yeah. People that call them Patrions, which I have done a few times. We should be flogged for that. That's not a thing we should do. I'm going to have to get used to a new thing here. So I got a new camera and I still look way over there where it used to be. Oh, weird.

Okay. And it's going to be a little bit of an adjustment. So people, if I'm staring off into weird places, that's the reason. Okay. There's a lot of changes today. changes Brian changes yeah yeah all for the better it's all fine trying new recording trying new camera placement uh that's right i'm wearing pants like lots of changes going on so many chitcha changes here on the show that's right um real quick here uh so the the bachelor

lifestyle continues um uh huh a bunch of women come over and uh you have to give four of on the roses no i wish i wish that was a thing instead no you don't maybe i'd don't um what i i've never i've never seen a single episode of either or any of that is that bad the bachelor the bachelorette yeah uh team and i watched so we we always watch the soup right that was as much bachelor and bachelorette as we felt like we needed back when jol mcale and and before him like all the people john stewart and uh oh god who was the first guy that was in the movie sabrina with harrison ford his name Oh, he played the guy from Hogan's Heroes. He was weird.

Yes, he did, right. I can't think it was name. Yeah, anyway, that guy. Somebody in the chat room will come up with it. But anyway, Greg Kinnear, yes. And Bob Crane was the guy he played, yes. And was the other guy called John, his name is also John Stewart, right? John Stewart, yeah.

I'm sorry, John Henson. John Henson. John Henson was a skunk boy. Isn't there another John, oh, the other John Stewart is the, is the Green Lantern. Yeah. All right. We're all square now. We're all square.

John Henson's Twitter is hilarious. I didn't find him, I didn't always find him funny on the soup, but he has, he's gone on to be hilarious on Twitter. Back when I looked at Twitter. I'll follow him now and then never look at it. I'll do that. Yeah. Yeah. I really, I've opened Twitter twice, and it's just because somebody mentioned my name in a film sack tweet.

I replied, was done. There you go. I'm okay. I'm really fine without Twitter. I'm totally fine without Twitter. I feel like I'm a lot better off with less Twitter. I still go there, post about shows and stuff like that. But it's no longer a place I consume information.

Yeah. Anyway, so Bachelor and Bachelorette, right? We would get those little clips on the soup and it was enough. It would satiate us. They stopped doing that. Tina like, well, let's watch just the train wreck first episode of The Bachelor. That's when all of the women show up and they try to come up with some sort of clever way to introduce themselves to make themselves memorable to the Bachelor. And you have horrible things like a cardboard box shows up in front of The Bachelor and she pops out and says, I'm your present.

This is an unboxing or something like that. Oh, my Lord. Out of my box. I don't can't remember what she said. I hate everything about what you just said. I hate it. Yes. But it's almost like watching those first few episodes, the first couple episodes.

Back in the day, when we would watch the first couple episodes of American Idol, and you would look for the William Hungs and the... The train wrecks that were going to be the first week of... Yes, exactly. Yeah. I can't even do that anymore. And after that one season, Tina, I felt we couldn't shower enough to get the stink of the Bachelor, watching The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.

I guess we watched The Bachelorette. which was worse, I think. I'm pretty sure that dude I interviewed on Current Geek. I think he also edited a season of that. He did pawn stars, storage wars, that, a couple others. And he claims all of it, none of it is real. All of it is script. Oh, I imagine the insanity of these women vying for falling head over heels for some dipshit

that they've never met before. That sadly, I think that's real. That's real to me, Scott. It feels really, yeah, it's like pro wrestling. We're going to just accept it. But I think they had it to make like, you know, oh, she's reacting to something that this other girl just said, but it's really she's just reacting because there was a bad canopy on the food table.

Canopay, I like that. What even is a canopy? Tell me what that is. It's like a rolled canopet is like a little rolled hors d'oeuvre, a little pastry or like a little mini calzone kind of thing. Isn't it? Isn't that what a canopet? You're a fancy restaurant guy.

I don't know these things. I don't know what a canopet. I don't go to places that serve canopets. That's probably why I'm so bad at knowing what they are. I just know that they are an order of many served on a silver plate and carry it, carried around. Nice. I'm going to try one next time I'm someplace. You hide under a canopy when the rain shows up on your wedding day.

When I go to the Tony Burger, I'm going to say, pray tell you carry the canopy. he'll say i'm sorry i'll take the california double do you have canopy yeah we got a big old tube of it in the back i think that's just called mayo um all right hey so here's a funny thing just get this visual in your head i didn't do a picture i should have i don't know what i was thinking okay all right we had more snow and the dog rainer riner the female riner the female dog still has her cone on right still wearing a cone and part of the reason is she's super it's not just for the wound from the tumor removal her whole body is like really dried out it's from the meds they gave her oh and they said that this was possible but it really wrecked her so

she's just itchy as hell and if you take that cone off she'll scratch her under chin until it bleeds so i spend a lot of time doing it for her you know getting in there and just yeah her giving it the best i can yeah um otherwise yeah otherwise you hear this in the house but in fact i can hear it right now you'll hear her going And all she's doing is just scratching the cone, basically. Well, so her cone's on kind of permanently, and I put her out to pee today before she ate this morning. And that's always an ordeal because she's, she'll go halfway out the door and snag the cone on the door and kind of bounce back and wonder what happened. And she still doesn't understand that there's like this invisible cone around her.

Anyway, she should go outside and she immediately starts running, which is great. But by the time she's done, her head is down and she's dragging towards the door. I'm like, what is wrong with her? I open the door. She's scoching up toward me with a cone full of snow. Oh, no. Just like up to her lips like this high and it's heavy now. And she can all she can do is drag it and she doesn't know what to do.

She can't shake it. She doesn't know what to do. So I had to intervene. It's like, oh my gosh, dog. You're so stupid. She's so stupid. But good news, the walk is now shoveled. So that's.

Yeah, yeah, right, exactly. The plus side. Yeah. Kim will come home and go, wow, look at the, look how cleared off everything is. It's because the dog did it. Anyway, so that was a lot of fun. We also, speaking of things, parking lots, we talked about that a few times, like etiquette, do you pull forward, all that stuff? Right.

Do you pull through? Do you, do you, right? We pulled through the other day. Yeah, and you thought about it. I did. I couldn't help it. I pulled through and went, okay, is this what we talked about? I looked around.

I'm like, okay, it's an almost empty parking lot. I can, you know, relatively. It's not like people are fighting for spaces. here's where I'll allow it, right? So I'm doing it here. The pull-through, I think, is fine. The only exception is if there's like a car that is clearly waiting for that space on the other side

and pulls in. And, of course, obviously, diagonal spaces because you're just basically going to point yourself in the wrong direction. And in a 20-23 world, you don't want that fight, you know? If you pull ahead and somebody's waiting for that slot, you're going to fight. He knows what's going to happen with that business.

There's some rage going on. Anyway, so we got this text from Sebek, who wrote it and says, on parking lots. I hate parking lots, he says. Wow. Just all of them. He says in Ohio, they have a phenomenon that I called Princess Parking. No matter how full or empty parking lots are at Kroger, people will park in the fire lane and wait there for hours. Some people will park in the fire lane and just go and do all their grocery shopping and then come back out and their car is completely empty.

I hate parking lots so much I think it's you hate people parking lots aren't really the problem Yeah it's not the parking lots It's really the people that are kind of taking advantage Of lax security at the Kroger Yeah what's the Kroger gonna do It's not like they enforce this stuff at Kroger

No no they need to They need to be out there and say you can't park here This is for emergency vehicles Yeah I had a kid in a parking lot Who worked there who was doing carts you know, the gathering cards. Yeah, yeah. And I saw him and I had my cart,

and I was about to go put it in one of the stalls, and I realized, well, he probably doesn't want to come out here for my one card. I'm going to go give it to him. I'll help him out. And so I ran it up there, and I kind of got in front of him, and as if to say, hey, go ahead and push into this one. You got like 20 of them going, push into this one,

and then just go to the rest of the way. You're almost there. Yeah. And I didn't say that. This is all just sort of assumed. So I stood there kind of holding it like, here it is. Here's the opening. He was like,

I looked at me and just kind of went around me. Didn't bother. So I'm not doing that anymore. No, no. He has a limit. There's basically he knows how many cards he wants to push. Yeah, I try. And coming back out there is probably better than most things that his manager is going to ask him to do if he may see him inside.

That's right. Yeah. I don't know. Can you clean up the puke and produce, please? I have more, I have more carts. There's a guy out there who needs me to grab his cart. Yeah, that one guy. I got to get that one dude.

Take care of him. All right. We're going to do a game, and here's the thing. Yeah. Chat room you're involved, but you have to be on Discord and you have to ping me. I'm going to pick the fourth person today who pings me. And by that, I just mean a quick DM. You can say whatever you want.

It doesn't matter. It can even be offensive. I don't care. What do I care? I don't care at all. Sure. I mean, it's just a private message between the two of us. If you do anything illegal, I have to report you, but it's no big deal.

Sure. Don't say the words hijack. That's right. But if you want to be on two, you want to be on. today's call and be a part of today's winnings, I need you to do that so I can add you to this Discord call. If you haven't joined our Discord, it's at frogpans.com slash Discord, and I'm the Frogpants person you see you all over the place in there. All right. All right. Now this. Welcome to the program, a Southern Bell of sorts. His name is Brian Dunaway, and he is a

sexy beast. Comes here on Mondays and Tuesdays, or Wednesdays, rather, and plays games with us. Hi, Brian. Oh, hi Scott and Brian. I do not know how to respond to that. But I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Sure. I heard you guys did a show last night, but I missed it.

Oh, missed. Oh, missed it. Yes, you did. I see what you did. It's no mystery as to what we talked about yesterday. Yeah. Don't worry. You can watch the Vod.

Oh, that doesn't. But you can still watch the Vod. You can, don't miss the Vod. So you can put a Y in there. Or you'll be riven about it. Oh, you'll be riven. Oh, that's terrible. Terrible, just horrible.

All right. Well, well done. I hope we never have to do that again. We're going to play a game, and I'm going to pick number four here. Let's see who pinged us forth. Oh, goodness. It's our old pal Sarenix, I believe. Oh, cool.

Let's see if I can add him to the thing here. He's ringing. He's ringing. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. He probably caught him off guard. He's like, oh, my gosh, I won. You're kidding me?

Serenix, you answer in your deal there, buddy? Oh, there he is. He's on mute, but I can see him. Hi, Sarah Nex. Are you there? Hey. Hey, how are you? Hey, Sarenx.

I'm doing pretty good. At home, watching people to drink all my cars. Well, you got an amazing microphone. It goes like this. Is that the Mr. microphone? You know, Serenax, last time you were on a show with me and Scott, you got kicked off of it. How about that? Oh, did that happen? What was that?

Thanks for bringing up that wound. What was it? I remember. He was part of the great shondening of the America's Next Stop podcaster. Oh, right. I get it now. Kicked off. I get it. Yes, the great Sean Exodus. Yeah, we had all the Sean's gone. Gone, Sean's. That's what you were.

Are you on speaker or something? Where are you? On my headset. Actually, if you give me a second, I have my mind. Mike right for my face. Yeah, you're fine. It just sounds gurbly. It's a little bit hard to hear. I don't know why.

Oh, he left. Oh, now he's back. He's back. Okay. Does that sound better? Oh, it sounds so much better. Oh, it's like Christmas and day. It's like Christmas and Lurking again.

If you would have used this microphone, you might have still been on America's next up podcast. Well, coincidentally, I got this microphone when I restarted my podcast after that show. Oh, very good. Excellent. Well, you sound really good now. Let's play this game. Brian, you're going to explain these rules. and the rest of us will have to just sit here and take it, all right?

So go ahead. All right. It's time to play the tadpulling feud. I've used that in a while. I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics. Scott Bryan are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Now, Sarah, next to your job is more important than ever

because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. Good luck, heaven, help you. If your team wins, we'll get a prize package. That includes Scorge Bringer, Scourge Bringer. and chicken police Oh, chicken police is great Chicken police is like way cool It is cool

It's like a point-and-click adventure story Kind of chicken noir Yeah, it's amazing Yeah, it's kind of adult Which is weird because you'll go to like a strip club And the stripper ladies are Ladybodies But they have the heads of like chickens

And like cats and it's just Do they lean in close and go Hey, want to go cluck? Oh, jeez. If they did and they should have... Mother clucker. Look, the deal is, is like, the whole thing is full of these animals, but it's filmed like a noir movie, like an old 40s detective thing.

You are literally a detective. So it's not like furry. It doesn't remind you of, like, furry stuff at all. It's like, it's the weirdest game. Yeah, I'm kind of jealous you're getting this. It's really cool. All right. Well, that sounds like a fun prize, the set of prizes for him.

That sounds great. Yeah, let's break that losing streak and have you win something today. Shall we see her next? Let's do it. Sweet. I'm just keep, I'm just getting to work it up. All right. Scott, Brian, put your hands on your buzzers.

We asked 513 tadpoolers for opted out for some silly reason or another. They just couldn't be bothered. But the other 509 gave their best answer to this. Oh, no. The salad monster is destroying the city. What Marvel or DC character do you send to fight him? Oh, my God, what is that even mean? I know, right?

Iron man. Iron man. Iron man. Iron man. Show me, Iron man. Oh, what? Are you kidding? Brian.

I need to hear that question again because that question was so weird. I couldn't even, I didn't even want to click. I'm like, this was a fun one. All right, here's the full question again. Oh, no. The salad monster is destroying the city. What Marvel or DC character do you send to fight him? Hulk smash salad.

suppose I All right. He'll be on there. Damn it. He's green. Yeah. They're both green and Hulk clearly needs more fiber in his diet. Right.

Now I get it. I just thought who was going to be. I just thought Iron Man, still you would think. I thought Iron Man to be the most effective, right? Because he'd kick ass. He'd go out there and just like... Doesn't let us have like iron in it like leafy greens, darkly green and stuff?

Yeah, spinach does. Yeah. It doesn't clarify that this is a, uh, it could be an arugula monster. It is a mixed green salad or is, you know, it's not a potato salad monster. We don't know. Fruit salad. It could be full of little manor and orange slices. Anyway, Brian, you have controlled board and you have Syrienex to help you.

All right. Yes, Syrienex. What comes to mind when you think of a Marvel hero? Or DC. Or DC character. Does it specifically have to be a hero? It doesn't necessarily have to be a hero. Hero or Villa.

Just a Marvel or DC character. Oh, that opens up. I think chat room had a really good idea. Poison Ivy. Oh, that's a good one. She's all in control of the lettuce monster, right? You guys are thinking now. All right, show me.

Poison Ivy. That was my impersonation of Poison Ivy from Harley Quinn. Number five on the board is Poison Ivy. That's actually kind of dead on. She's so deadpan. She's so Lake Bell, right? Yeah, Lake Bell's great. I love her in that.

Is there a ranch man? I don't think they're really too bad. There's a ranch man, but he ain't in the MCU or DCU, so. Right. Kevin Costor, a ranch man. Let's get him in there. Ranch man. I mean, chat room's coming up with some good ones, I think.

Oh, what about Swamp Thing? Oh, that's good. Oh, yeah. He's basically a salad, right? He is basically a salad. He's like, uh, could you get off me? Yeah. Thanks.

All right. All right. Uh, let's go for that one. Show me swap thing. Damn it. Look at the chat room, helping us out big time. Guys are going to kill me today. It's not good.

All right. Still on your... Are you still looking at the chat room, or do you want to go with something our own, or what you want to do? I'm not sure. I'm trying to think of anything. I'm thinking of, like, Fantastic Four is, like,

the thing. He's like a crouton kind of guy. No, I love that. He's the crouton that wants to fight the salad monster. Yeah. Right, right. The salad monster is what really throws it off. I'm trying to think of all of the vegetable heroes.

Yeah. I love that, though. I can see all. I'm never going to trust you again. You took us up into space and now I'm a bunch of dried orange bread. Right. It's clobbering. I love it, though, because the rest of them would be like, I could burn him.

No, I could be invisible around him. No, I could be invisible around him. No, I'm, I'm, what's his name, Hank? Hank something. I'm Ben Grim, I'm Ben Grim, damn it. I'm a giant crouton. I'll take the salad, he'll say. I mean, I would, I will say that, I will say that that creature on the cover of Fantastic

Four number one kind of does look like the salad monster. This is it to be like the mole man or something. He looks like a cell. It was the mole man, one of the mole man's underground creatures. There you go. Yeah. All right. And actually going along with that, I'm starting to agree with chat, oh, Human Torch.

Oh, Human Torch would be good. Well, you know, burn, he kind of was going to do what Iron Man would do, but maybe they chose that. Yeah, I don't know. Lettuce will definitely shrivel up if you put some... Fire beat salad, right? Sure. Yeah. All right, is that what you're going with?

Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. All right. Show me Johnny Storm. Number four. Look at that. Damn it. Appropriately, Human Torch is number four.

Why wouldn't they use Iron Man, though? Because it's the same power. I will say that I couldn't say it during the thing. Iron Man. come in, where is he? He is low on the list. He's kind of low on the list.

He's not doing so good. Yeah. Where is he? Holy cow. Oh, there he is. Number 13. I just scrolled right past him. Oh.

That's not bad. I feel a little better about that. Number 13 is, yeah, you should feel a little redeemed. A little bit. No worse than, but when we go with the opposite seren next? Would we go with Iceman? I mean, would that be like,

just not popular enough. People just don't really think of, it doesn't pop to the head, does it? Who, Ice Man? Yeah. My wife's been watching the rookie and the guy that played Ice Man in the X-Men movies is in that,

and I can only see him as Ice Man. So that's a side story that I don't know why I told you. What about Wolverine? He'd be great. He'd be tossed him up and he'd toss that salad. What do you think about that?

I can see that. Just slicing it up, like dicing up your lettuce. A nice little chopped salad. Is that what you go? with? Sure. What do you think, Sir Dix? Yeah, I think so. I think I'll work. Chop salad. Let's do it.

Show me he's the best at what he does and what he does is chop salad. Look at that, number one. Oh, my God. That's great. Hilarious. It's great. Yeah. My answers left on the board. I freaking love it.

Oh, my. I still think chat room is killing it. Oh, with a guy. What was it? Was it? Oh, shoot, what was it? Oh, Groot. Oh, yeah, I am salad. I am Groot. Yeah, let me get in there.

Yeah, I got you. Let's do it. Let's go for Groot. Show me Groot. Groot. The root. Oh, you don't like roots in your salad? The gruton.

The gruton is not up there. However, the gruton. 39th place. I'm sorry. Yeah, 39th place. A few people said. Okay, maybe not such a good answer. Yeah.

in the end. Somebody asked, well, you let them looked at the chat room for their answers? Like, I do,

but it doesn't always help. No, it doesn't help at all. Sometimes. All right. Well, now I've got nothing. You know what?

I'm going to assume that some people might have thrown blade in there because of the same reason they did Wolverine. It's just lower on the list. So I'll say blade. All right.

Show me blade. Please. Damn it! Oh. he dices he julians but he only made it up to number uh i did see blade in here oh there we go uh tied for 49th place one person said blade 49th wow shit tied for 49th place oh my gosh people had 49 other heroes and villains before they said he's a great day walker and he can chop some salad you guys are wrong out there yeah he's he's one of the best characters in been

Night Sons. True story. Good and everything. He's way overpowered. Love that guy. What about Superman and Wonder Woman on a date? And he's all like, what will you have? And she says, Salad Monster.

And then he's all like, you can not have none of my fries. And then there's like all the boyfriend, girlfriend jokes you can think of in the last 20 years. Wow. Yeah. That is quite a setup. I mean, one of the reasons why I preferred Marvel over DC is because Superman's the answer for everything. right

you're not wrong yes superman he's always he's always up for a beat in the crap of a salad as long as

there's no kryptonite in that oh yeah true green you could hide kryptonite

in the green leafy greens of it yeah yeah all right is that your answer then

I tune in I tune in Superman you want to go with it here next we can try it let's do it

let's do it superman roll for the roll for the big money let's see if Superman is the answer everything

after this show me Superman. Yeah, number nine. The one of the people that Superman said, I hear he likes it to sell it. Oh, nice. They didn't sell it like, spell it like soup or man. Oh, so he has super salad, man.

Do you guys remember that? Brian, do you have a place in Denver called Super Salad? Do you remember that? Yes. I used to love it until, I mean, they went away because nobody does like open air. It was bad, yeah, bad COVID land. Yeah, it was bad COVID land. I think it got killed.

That's when it got killed, I think. But, man, I loved that one. I used to take the kids there. He used to love it. Anyway, sorry. Food detour. Now back on main track. You guys are still in charge.

Keep going. What's your thinking now, Sarah, if you got. Primarily so clear, we'll stop yelling at us, Ant Man. Oh, Ant Man. He can get big. I need a salad and there's ants in there. Yeah, I got it. Oh, that's why.

Okay. Yeah. All right, show me ant man. Number 10. Look at that big point. Any possibility of Scott? No. No.

Actually, even before this question, there was no chance. But yeah, somebody said, Ant Man just grows big. Eat salad. Done. Done. Turns out of giant. Done.

Damn it. Okay. I guess it depends on the size of the salad monster, though, right? Right. Well, that's true, yeah. But he can be as big or as small as he wants to be, right? Is there a limit? There are a limit based on, like, his.

his, the, the strains put on him from going that big. Because you remember, like, in the first two movies, I'm sorry, in Civil War and in the second movie, he, it strains him to go that big. Oh, right. And small, he's got to eat. Yeah, and the too small ends up being the quantum zone crap. Right, exactly.

So, okay. Or dimension or whatever it is. What's it called? The quantum zone. Quantum realm. Realm. Thank you. That word was in there.

Solomon Grady, don't want salad. All right, take it home. Three answers left on here. I'm trying to think is Spider-Man the same joke? You know. Spider in my salad, is it? They don't eat leaves or anything. They eat other insects.

That's true. I mean, and at least eat leaves. Sure. Right, true, true. Yeah, but if you have a spider in your salad, you're telling the guy at the counter that I don't want this, right? you're not going to eat that. Yeah, after immediately flipping the table. Yeah, I'd be very upset.

Anyone else, any other creatures eat salad, eat leafy greens that you can think of? We have very low stakes now, so, yeah, we pretty much say any dumbass thing we wanted to do, right? Yeah. We're going with Puck from Alpha Flight because it makes absolutely zero sense. Because he'd do some cartwheels and slam into the salad monster. Love it, love it. Is that really what you're saying? No, no, I don't know.

What do you think, Sir Dix? What's the shark guy from Suicide Squad? Oh, Shark Man. No, it's not Shark, man. It's something shark. What's wrong with my brain? Is it King Shark? King Shark.

That's it. Let's go with that. Shark, man. Love this, Alex. Show me, King Shark. Oh. Can I say, well, I can say anything. I'm going to lose no matter what.

I'm going to say. the Blue Beetle because Beatles eat salad. Oh, there we go. All right, sure. All right, show me Blue Beetle. Just getting through these X's.

Just getting through them. It's all good. How about just Robin? You think Robin would be like really good against the salad monster, do you think? Or Batarang or something. Oh, by the way, Blue Beetle 35th on the list.

Oh, he's higher than that blade? What the frick? He's higher than Blade. Oh, my Lord. Okay. Is Condemate King actually a hero? Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be a hero. Somebody could have put it there, right?

Yeah, it is the Deadpool after all. That is also true. Whatever. If you want to do it, salad eater man. Saladenaed man. I don't mind supporting it. Oh, yeah, Matter ear lad. That'd be smart.

Matter eater lad would be pretty good, actually. Okay, is that what, do you want to go with that? What do you think, Serenix? Or you want me to just come up with a totally different thing entirely. What do you want? uh holy crap there actually is a kind of man okay that's weird uh yeah let's go matter eater lad all right sense matter eater lad show me uh my one of my least favorite characters of all time but somehow he made it into the uh the justice league or the one of those the jLA uh show me matter eater lad

oh my god what's that they finally found a use for matter eater lad and apparently is the salad master because because he's got eat in his name that's the only reason. That's right. Legion of superheroes. That's it. By the way, 38 people came up with Matter Eaterland. We bring that up on the show a lot because Brian, you know, Brian's talked about, oh, he doesn't like him and everything. And so I think that's a perfect pick.

You guys nailed it with that. Yeah, and why wouldn't you like, oh, wow, I can eat just about anything. Oh, what should my superhero name be? Munch? No. How about Gobble? No. I know. Matter Eater, lad. Well, it was back when they were doing all the lads. that was a thing. Yeah.

The lad part's not the problem. Not the problem I have with it. Oh, it's the matter eater part. It is the matter eater. Yeah. What else? What's a better name? I'm trying to think.

Literally anything involving food. The consumer. The consumer. The massacator. Consumption. Yeah. Masticator. Yeah, I like that.

Those are all good. Do we want to go with, if we're going to stick in this area, maybe we should go with Tony Chu. Tony Chew, is that a... Oh, is that from the Chew comic? From the, uh, from the Chew comic series. Yeah, but those aren't DC or Marvel though, right?

Or I guess it doesn't matter because it's DC Marble. Yeah, it's a basically DC Marvel. Yeah, it's an image thing. That's a great comic though. By the way, Claire, you're, you're welcome for that title. Well, I'm kind of, I don't know. What do you think? What do you think next?

How about some... I'm trying to think of other characters that are known for eating. The only one I can think about the top of my head is the blob. The blob is probably has probably has. The blob is brilliant. Yeah, blobs are right, played by Bean Fork. That's right. Hopefully we get a new blob once MCU finally, or Disney finally pulls the blob in the MCU.

All right. Show me, other meets the blob. That's a shame. A blob was number 14 on the list, by the way. Not too bad. Okay. I'm going to say, I'm going to say Galactus eats everything. Oh, because he eats everything.

Yes, Mark. The great eater. Sure. Yeah, so let's say Galactus. Show me Galactus. No, Galactus was on the list, also higher than Blade. Because he eats all the salads, not just the salad monster. Every salad in the earth gets eaten when he eats it.

Exactly. And then, you know, he goes off to another universe, and he's out there with Silver Surfer, and he says, ooh, here's another world. And Galactus says, no, thanks. I just had salad. I just had a salad. I couldn't possibly. I'm watching my way.

There just happened to be everything else involved with it. Right, exactly. It is not a false statement. No, no, not at all. All right, let's, oh my gosh, the people are really pushing for Mantis. Let's look at number six, because we know what number five is. Number six, just feels like a Deadpool villain to people. If they feel like that, plus he also has the katanas and he could slice up the salad.

That does seem like it does, as dumb as it sounds. that's something he would probably want to fight. I get it. That's good. But I love this answer for number eight. It's kind of where I was leading with the what else eat salad. Show me number eight. Squirrel girl.

Oh, Carter would be so disappointed in me. She loves that character. Send all the squirrels to eat all the salad. Yes, that makes sense. The important thing, oh, by the way, Mantis was, where was Mantis in this list? She... You mean my secret MCU crush? Mantis.

Oh, yeah, I love the mantis. I love Mantis. She's my favorite. Rantus, I don't even see Mantis on the list. I do see Madison, and it's spelled with the Y, but it's not where you think. We didn't have enough surprise with the lack

of X-Men in here. We had Wolverine, obviously, but I thought we'd have... Condiment King was number 12. Batman technically was 11, but he had the same number as Ant-Man, so I moved him up for the tie. Aquaman, for some reason. Spider-Man, Thor, Iceman,

Beast Boy, Dr. Strange, Greenland, lantern, because it's green. This is data. Kingpin, Mr. Freeze, Captain Marvel Cyclops, Harley Quinn, Howard the Duck. The Thing, Wonder Woman, Apache Chief, Black Widow, Draxel of the Royer.

Archie Chief. Nonchok. A nun chuck, and then he's, what, he's as big as the sound. I guess that's not bad, actually. That's not bad. I do like this one, Hawkeye, because he's a salad shooter. Oh, my Lord. That's, that's too.

Terrible. But I love it. And I think that's great. You thought? Well, there's way worse out there. It's way worse. Well, congratulations. That means...

He's got a fork on his forehead. That's right. Congratulations. Oh, that's a great one. You're a winner. Was Black Bolt on there or no? Yeah, he was, but only one person said it, but it was the one person who said because he's got a fork on his head.

He deserves, that guy deserves an extra prize or something. That's amazing. He kind of does. Yeah, there's no way for me to look and see what, uh, who that person is. Maybe I could tell them, all right, if you can prove who you are by telling me the other answers you gave, I can see what other answers

they gave, but I can't see. If you do that, then I'll send you some stickers and some prints and stuff, because that's very funny. All right. Hey, that's, well done, Saranex, you came in, you conquered, and you and Dunaway walked away with it, but more importantly, you walked away with Scourge Bringer

and chicken police. Excellent games on Steam. Brian, who gave us those codes just to give them credit, you know? I'll tell you. That was, I think that's the last of the current batch we have from Tim Moore. So big thanks to Tim Moore for sending all those in. Thank you, Tim. All the stuff that we've given away over the last couple weeks is from Tim Moore. That's right.

And I added a whole new section from David Acres yesterday. Big thanks to him. We'll be going through those at some point. Oh, nice. Anytime you guys at home have like a big humble bundle that went through and you don't need most of it or whatever. Don't just check those codes. We got homes for them here. Let us know.

Yeah, we give them way. Yeah, email us. Serenix, anything to say about your victory? Well, I'm glad that I finally want something with you guys. I am glad also. Unlike something. Unlike something else. Exactly.

I like the self-rubbing it in. It's nice. Anyway, you enjoy these. We'll see you soon. Be nice and let that beard fly. All right, there he goes. It's off to the woods. Done away, that was great.

Listen, if you missed it yesterday, we did a little play retro. We talked about missed the game. and the series, really. We talked up to three and then even, you know, a little bit about where the future was. I mean, though it's kind of beyond our retrospect usually, but we still talked about them, right? Yeah, and we talked about cyan and what they're doing today and the kind of stuff you can, you know, expect for them. You can actually go to their website, cyan.com, and order to missed merch. Yep, yep, I know.

Is that crazy? If you want to find, they're rivals over at magenta.com. Anyway, Brian Dunaway, thanks for hanging with us. and you have a good weekday. No, you. Bye. A good week day. A good week day.

All right, we're going to do one news story. Okay. And it goes like this. I don't watch the news. It's time for the news. Brought to you by. Brought you by Master Webbit and his gaming stream. Head over to Twitch.com.

Yeah, I checked out so last night. It was really fun. So I thought, hey, let's put it on here. Keanu Reeves literally took the red pill. What? Yep. And I don't mean the stupid political way people use it now. Is he woke now?

Yeah, is he woke? Here's what he did. He literally has the red pill. During a recent Reddit, Ask Me Anything, or as the kids call it, AMA, Reeves was asked if he had ever stolen anything from any of his movie sets. His answer was, not stolen, the watch and wedding ring from John Wick, a sword from 47 Ronan, and the first red pill that the Wachowski's ever gave. me. He replied.

That's cool. So that literally means Keanu Reeves has the red pill. He took the red pill. Yeah, I mean, the wedding ring and the the watch from John Wick, I would want one of those coins, man. I'd want one of the

coins. The coins. Yeah. I want the coin, too. The coin would be what I want. He went on to say a couple other interesting things. He said both the Matrix franchise and John and John Wick had some overlap when it comes to physicality. He says, quote, nothing can ever compare to the Kung Fu training for the Matrix because

it was so unique and my first time. But the jujitsu in John Wick being integrated with judo and gunfights can never be touched or sorry, can never be touched in its own way. I'm not sure what that means. I think he means that's like a special level or whatever. Yeah, I think so, yeah. He says, well, Reeves also answered a question about his aspirations, had you not been into acting.

He says, well, when I was a kid, I always wanted to be a race car drive. driver, a conductor, or an astrophysicist, he said. Today, let's conduct some music. I don't know what that means. Anyway, he says, favorite film that he's been in. He says, I've been very fortunate to be in Johnny Neumonic. Just kidding. Brian, that was for you.

Yeah, I know. News. I went into a movie Brian Wachana. I'd like, you know, be like, all right, I'm done with Keanu. If you said that was his favorites. Exactly. He says, I've been very fortunate to work in a few films that have changed my life. I can't just pick one, but there are a few River's Edge, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, the Matrix trilogy, the Matrix trilogy, the Matrix trilogy, plus one.

I wonder what that says. The Devil's Advocate and Scanner Darkly, my own private Idaho point break and John Wick, those are the ones he said. No love for dangerous liaisons. Oh, come on, Keanu. I know. No love for Dracula. What was that called? Oh, yeah, Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula? Yeah, that one. Yeah, no love for that there, Keanu Reeves. No love for that one, I guess.

Yeah. But you mentioned Johnny, Utah. Okay, cool. Yeah, a devil's advocate gets named up there with the Matrix and Bill of Ted. That's probably just because it had what's his name in it. Oh, Robert, or Al Pacino. So when you work with Pacino, it's like a huge resume thing or something. And Charlize, I mean, come on.

Oh, I forgot. Yeah, she's in that. Yeah. How do I forget? that. How did you forget that? She wasn't naked in that, was she? No. You watch this for film sex. I-Cor, you're thinking of three days in the valley.

She's very naked in that. Oh, is she after she just wears like a skin-tight cat suit? No. Oh, yeah, she's, uh, the, the, uh, reindeer games is the one that I think of for her. Yeah. She's done. I, uh, I just think of Furiosa. Of course you do.

She's never naked in that. No surprise. She's a never nude and mad max. Um, all right. Let's move. on to, uh, we'll do this one story real quick. This would be no problem. Japanese housewife loses her life savings to a man who pretended to be a K-pop idol. Oh, oh, man. Tom Merritt says, oh, I'm just kidding. They love the K-pop at his house.

They do. Boy, yeah. Recently, a story of a Japanese housewife lost all her money because of a fake K-pop idol is garnering much attention. According to reports, the housewife spent her entire life savings on a man who pretended to be a Korean and underground K-pop. idol. I don't know what they, to be a K-pop idol that's underground K-pop idol. I mean, idle and underground feel like they're conflicting. That doesn't sound right to me either. On March 5th, Japanese media, Gendai business revealed a story of a housewife age 44 who's deceived by a man who spent 2.5 million Japanese yen, which is about 18,000 bucks USD on him. In Japan, underground idol refers to idols who are independently managed and perform at small

venues while interacting closely with fans. Gotcha. Okay. So they can be used together in a sentence. Well, here we call that an unpopular band. An indie. We call that an indie. Yeah, it's not that they choose to do that. They would rather have, they want to sell out Madison Square Garden, but they don't. Anyway, the underground idol culture allows fans to meet closely with their beloved artists

and build strong bonds with them through these meetings. And without paying a lot of money, fans are usually given 100 seconds, 100 seconds with the idol member of their choice. That is so specific. It's so specific. It's not even like two minutes or, you know, three minutes or like that, 100 seconds. Yeah. Says they can take photos, shake hands, talk during that 100 seconds or whatever.

Anyway, she got bamboozled. 100 seconds and happened. Yep. She got bamboozled and taken for a bunch of money. And he was never a K-pop star. He was an imposter. The lesson is, don't listen to K-pop. Just kidding.

Do whatever you want. Brian, we're going to take a break. we come back, Tom Merritt will be here, speaking to Tom Merritt, he'll tell us all about the day's tech news, and after that, we got recommendals today. That should be fun as well, so stick around, but first, this song. Yeah, Adam Eicher

wrote in and said, please, play the song or any song from the album for any in the middle for this one. We saw Taylor Jansson, very close to a name you're familiar with, Taylor Jansen at the Bunbury Festival in our hometown

Cincinnati, Ohio, and 2019. She's based in Manitoba, Canada, and her label mates include churches, Mumford, and Sons, and Phoenix. I'm loving the new full-length album and want to share the love, and then he forwarded the permission from the record company. So, so good. This is I Live in Patterns by Taylor Janssen, going out to Adam Eicher. Awesome. We'll be right back. Stay tuned. My neighborhood at night My eyes glazed over Staring at the sky

I don't know which is worse That come down or the heart He springs a set of problems I don't want to find But what do you do When the car won't stop And you're going 180 and you can't get off You think you're coming down

But it's a fatal crash And the windshield broke And you'll never get it back I am yours for the finding I can't wait on your timing I can feel my skull breaking I'm never saving You sent a messenger and I killed it.

Then you left because I willed it. I've learned to sleep with the light on when I grow weary of my shadows. I burned a hole inside my sadness. Now it's starting to swell and my God I've had it. Don't you know I live in patterns? and I am trapped inside my habits I'm trapped inside my habit Ooh

What do you do when the whole world stops And you try to adjust But you just want to get off And you think about it every night For months Like the ringing in ears It just won't shut up I

I can't wait on your timing I can feel my skull breaking I'm going to save me What did you do when the car won't stop And you're half convinced that you're making it up I promised one day it would even know But it just gets loud when he's settled down

what do you do when the whole world spins and nobody tells you what to do with it and you're hitting your head with your tired fist and you pray one day you'll grow out of it

I am yours for the fine day but I can't wait on your timing I can feel my skull breaking I am going to save me I am yours for the finding But I can't wait on you to sign it

I can feel my skull breaking I am going to save me I am going to save me I am going to save me I'ma just go to the coffee shop where the coffee's hot and I'll get a canoli. This one is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.

The morning stream. Dammit bones, I need you badly. And we've returned. Tell me who that was again so I can track it down. That was Taylor Jansen, J-A-N-Z-E-N, and a song called I Live in Patterns. Comes from her album, I Live in Patterns, which came out this year. That sounds great. 20-23 release. Pretty good.

And is far better than that cover of In the Ghetto that we played yesterday's show. Oh, man, that thing haunted me for most of the night. What a garbage show that was. That was really hailed. I do love that you that you have these guards you're not so precious that you throw that kind of crap away you have this stuff. No, no, I got to keep it

because it's, you know, it makes me laugh. It makes me smile to play that Eilert Pilarm. Well, I love it. Continue to do it forever. With the computer as with any tool, the concept and direction must come from the man. That man is, oh, it's dark man, everybody. It's Tom Merritt. Can you see me? I can see you. It just seems like you're going to tell us dark story scary story or something it's so dark in there we can't see what sports hat you're not wearing

yes exactly uh yeah i don't know why the lights won't come on oh that's not good hopefully i mean actually it's not terrible it's kind of moody yeah i do like the uh i know it's not intentional but on the far right it looks like a horror movie poster like there's a door and there's light coming around the sides of the door oh i like that yeah yeah it's between your two big encyclopedia things oh look he's kind of Light underneath this face.

Oh, there we go. That'll help. That's great. Yeah, there's Tom Merritt. And he's got a scary story. Oh, let me tell you about jacases. Well, speaking of scary stories,

the internet is full of them. Sometimes they're tech related. And Tom is always on the lookout for good tech stories because the Daily Tech News show must go on every day. And that includes today. So Tom, what are we looking at? You're going to be looking at me today. I faked you out last week.

I realized by doing TMS. I'm not doing DTNS. Yeah. But it will be me there. And one of the things we're going to be talking about is Duck, Duck, Doe, launching its own AI into search. Oh, I'm ready for that. That sounds great.

I've been sitting here as a Duck, Duck Go, three years exclusive user going, with all this talk of, you know, AI assisted search, what's your deal, Duck, Duck, Do? Are you going to get into the game? And it sounds like they are. That's great. What do we know? Yeah, so they have, they've created something called Duck Assist.

which will show up when it thinks it has an answer. So it's not going to be there all the time like Bing. It will only be there when you type in a search and it thinks like, oh, we can help. So that's an interesting way of doing it. It's not something you can make show up unless you know what to ask. And it is limited to finding things on a limited number of sources. So it is mostly, according to Gabe Weinberg, 99% of, percent of the answers are coming from Wikipedia.

Apparently Encyclopedia Britannic is in the mix and maybe a couple other sources. They want to expand that eventually. But right now, it's mostly Wikipedia. So if it thinks it can find an answer on Wikipedia, it will then summarize it, which is different than what DuckDocco already does, and Google does this too,

which is find a quote from Wikipedia and display it. So that you're like, does this answer your question? This will use the large language models, both from OpenAI and Anthropic. They've got a combination that they're running to reinterpret and summarize them for you so that it directly answers your question instead of giving you a quote that may or may not be applicable.

Interesting. So I'm reading here on their website. For now, Duck Assist, they're calling it. The beta will only be available in English on their browsing apps for iOS, Android, and Mac, and also browser extensions for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. As they get further on, I guess they'll the actual sites that you search from or in the coming weeks they're going to add it to the

rest of search it's they they're launching it today with just just the apps and the extension oh i'm excited to try this i really like them and it um i've been really really happy with it and i haven't missed i haven't missed google like i'm sure that maybe there has been one or two times where i was like maybe i want a further result or i'd say 30 to 40% of the time i have to go to google i have duck d'clock on mobile uh and and i'd say maybe mobile Maybe more like 30%, but a third of the time, I'm like, mm, that's not putting up what I want. It's Tom's 30, 70-30 split.

He's doing there with the 70-30 rule. Maybe it's 31, but yeah. And maybe I'm just too forgiving of the result that's good enough, you know? Or maybe you're using it more casually than I am. Probably, yeah. I'm using it for things like know a little more and stuff, you know, where I'm really looking for specific information versus like just general stuff. That's true. Well, I'm going to mess with this and

when we do our show, or when we do DTNS, if it comes up at all, I'll have a little experience with the browser. What it probably is, is I'm looking for unimportant things. You're looking for things people are interested. What you're saying, though, is Google's good at giving you a, you know, I mean, their whole world is searched. Of course

they're good at it, right? They track you a lot. I don't think Google is as good as it used to be. I feel like, you know, and part of it is perception, you know, in the, in the, in 1999, when all I had was Alta Vista and InfoSique, Google was a revelation. But, but for years, I was like, yep, Google, man, I know how to use it. It always gives me what I want. And and, and over the past several years, it's become like, oh, I know why I'm seeing this, because somebody knows how to game it or you think I want

recent information, but I don't always want recent information. And so then I have to go in and like do the filter and set the date to last year. So it's not just, crowding me as all kind of weird stuff again probably very specific to my usage of it but but i just yeah i don't find it as default like why would i ever not use google which is why i use duck dot go on mobile because like say most of the time it gets me exactly what i want and i don't have to worry about feeding an algorithm brian do you have a preference these days browser i still i'm still using uh google um it's really just laziness that i haven't switched the uh the automatic search engine in my search bar on my browser

to be anything else, but I mean, I do like, when I've used DuckDucco, I liked it, and when I've used Bing, the new Bing? Bing, the new Bing with the AI. I like it too. I feel like I'm gravitating toward messing around in there a little bit more too,

but yeah, I'd just rather be tracked less and I like that they do that, even though I don't care that much. I would like that approach, not just of the not tracking, but of saying, we're not going to try to give you something that will do everything. We're going to give you something on a very limited set that we think is pretty reliable. Even then, sometimes it won't be right, but neither are search results, you know, because humans are not always right. So, you know, it's as good as Wikipedia is. They're very upfront when you get a result saying, this is from Wikipedia.

This is the source. If you want to check it, you know, may or may not be right, but this is what we're saying. I think that is a responsible and useful way to do it. Yeah, I agree. And I also like this it's one use or one of the many uses of AI that is like emergent and happening like I like that this is happening now we're like getting it it's going to improve

obviously and change and evolve but it's really useful so more of that please and less 400 fingers on each hand. One of the things I've realized over the past month or so is that Open AI has been very clear about this. Chat GPT was one

of a series of demonstration models that it put out, and it did not think it would be any different than the previous ones that it put out. And for some reason, this one caught on with the public's imagination. Why did things go viral? Who knows? This did. Open AI never meant chat GPT to be the product. Open AI wants chat GPT to be an example of the kind of thing you can do in products. And we're starting to see that with Duck, DuckGo, Salesforce has added something into their systems. like that's where this stuff is really going to affect your life. It's going to start showing up in products.

Microsoft's going to announce something with Office next week. So, you know, keep your eyes out for that. Don't expect chat GPT itself to be the thing. I don't think. I have a feeling it's like, well, it's like anything. There's like a groundbreaking immediate thing. And then how it gets. All the iteration, people doing it better.

Yeah, people do it or better, but also in ways that are just you're already in their ecosystems or that's already a part of your life. So you're just, you're going to grab. And a lot of times you're not even to know. Like, there are going to be people 10 years from now who just search for something and an assisted AI, they're not thinking about it. They're not going, oh, the AI is telling me what I need to know. They're just going to go, oh, I got the result I'm looking for. That's it.

Open AI is making a thing that other people can use in their products. They, and that's where they want to go. That's what they want to do. And there will be competitors to Open AI as well, like Anthropic and others. And so, you know, there's going to be not just. Open AI. But yeah, it's not going to be like, oh, I want to use the AI. AI powered things like Dolly and such are going to show up in products and make those products, hopefully better. Yeah, I agree. More on that. Today, Daily Tech News show, today. That's right. Wednesdays,

I'm on. And for real, Tom will be on and I'll be on. So that's a double whammy. We had a great show last week, but we always missed Tom when I'm there. No, I love it. Yeah, it was a good show. But anyway, it'll be great. I'm looking forward to it. there anything else that people should have on their mind about you or anything you're doing you know i uh you know i once did a show on c net called top five i remember that yeah and then i did one for revision three called top five yeah and then i did one for tech republic called top five well i ain't going to stop there is this the fifth returning to youtube dot com slash daily tech news show oh in the next in the coming weeks i'm going to pull a duck duck go

in the coming weeks okay look for top five at youtube dot com slash daily tech news show oh show this is a top five unleashed i don't have to serve c net i don't have to serve revision three i don't have to serve tech republic i can count down whatever i darn well please so check it out youtube.com slash daily tech news show the triumphant return of the fourth version oh dang it it would be great if it was the fifth iteration because you could say today i'm going to do the top five places i've done top five and now you can yeah yeah you know what do a quick to fire myself and start a fifth one just so I can do it. There you go. Yeah, I love it. Perfect. Now, gently lay yourself off. You can do it nicely. I'll be nicer to myself. Nice little severance

and all of that. It's Tom Merritt, everybody. He is Ace Detect on Twitter if you'd like to follow him there. We'll see you a little bit later on the show today. Bye now. Thanks, help. Bye. Okay, Brian, hold your fingers. All right. Hold your fingers. So far so good. Maybe they solved it. I don't know. All right, good. Let's hope so. Let's add Randy to the call and let's add Nicole to the call. Yeah. Oh, man. You know,

Recommendals. It's super, super fun. What are you going to do? You're just going to go ahead and do it. What are you going to do it? It's recommendals. You're going to let them happen. They're going to be right there for you.

Doodoo-l-l-l-doo. Yes, everybody. It's time for us to do recamentals. It's a little show concept created originally by our own Nicole Spagnola. Who joins us on the line right now. Hi, Nicole. That's sunny. Hi, it's a you.

It's a nice to have you here. Of course, Randy Jordan also joining us. Hi, Randy. Aloha. Good morning. Morning stream. How are you? I'm fine. It is Oscars week. I'm very happy about it. Oh, and you're on a weird toilet phone or something. Where are you right now? Do you hear that? Are you in a car? I did hear that, yeah. Are you in a car? No.

Who? Randy? No, Randy. No, Randy. Randy. Randy. Randy. He's on his swatch, watch. Microphone reset. Oh, okay. You do sound better now. A little bit. Yes. well done. Good enough for, what's the phrase when you say it's good enough for... Close enough for rock and roll. That's what I meant.

Not even close, but that's close enough. Anyway, hey... Close enough for government work. That's it. That's the one I meant to say. We're back at it. We're going to recommendle some stuff, things we've seen on streaming services that we'd like enough to tell you at home about.

And we're going to start as the tradition dictates with Brian here. What do you got? Yes. I'm recommending like 12 things. Uh, why? Because it is Oscar season and one of my favorite categories or sets of categories are the shorts. Boy, Brian loves the shorts. Um, and, uh, there are three categories, as always, the animated shorts, the live action shorts and documentary shorts. And even though the usual purveyor shorts TV has not provided a downloadable or like a, you know, a, a purchasable link that you can watch all 15 nominees, a lot of them are already available on, um, Apple TV, YouTube, Disney Plus, and Netflix. So I'm going to talk about just a couple of them, but I'm going to put links to all of the ones that are currently available to watch in the QuicktMS.li.

But let's go ahead and listen to the clip that I'm providing, which is one of the live action shorts that I loved. All right, here we go. Each one of you sitting at our table today is due, a slice, of the cake you, see over there. So then here's my proposal.

Give up your slice of cake and offer it up as a small sacrifice to Jesus. The hell? So all the good little girls who agree to give up their slice of cake

say so by standing up now. No, I'm not doing that. This is dubbed, too, right? It is. It is. You hear me?

Then why aren't you standing? All the good girls choose to stand up. I am a bad girl. You should sell yourself. Okay. All right. So that takes a place. So that one is Le Pupil. Le Pupil. It is a, I think it is a French, might be Italian, but basically it's a Catholic orphanage, and the nun is kind of like rules with an iron fist. And dang it, I want cake. And so does Serafina. And so she doesn't stand up like all the other.

good little girls. That actually turned into one of Tina's and my favorite live-action short films. That one's available on Disney Plus, and it's about half an hour, and it is fantastic. It is so worth it. And for many reasons,

including these fantastic sung interludes all throughout this live-action short. It's got a great, not really twist at the end, but it's got a lot of humor. Speaking of So that one's available on Disney Plus again

It's called Le Pupil, P-U-P-I-L-E So it's like The P-Puple? Is that the translation? The pupil. The other one that we really enjoyed from the live action is called Night Ride. And the setup is that this woman is outside in the freezing cold. I think this is Danish or Swedish.

This woman's outside waiting in the cold for a light rail or a train. tram or train to pick her up. It arrives, but the driver says, no, it's not leaving for half an hour. She's like, can I go wait inside, please? And he's like, no, you can't. So she climbs inside, realizes that the door's still open. No, she waits until he can't see her, climbs inside, waits until the door, until he can't see her, and then tries to close the door, accidentally starts the train. Oh, shit. Damn. And as funny as that stuff is, boy, it takes a weird turn about halfway through that one is called night ride it's available on youtube again about 20

minutes and it's it's another one that's really really it goes deeper than you'd expect it to okay let's go to the animated shorts just i just have one question yeah did you get a chance to see any way to see an irish goodbye no irish goodbye evalue and the red suitcase none of the other three live action shorts are available for streaming unfortunately so keep an eye out for those when they're available. Four of the five animated nominees are available, including The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, which is a beautiful, sad and sweet animated thing on Apple TV.

Oh, this is the thing Carter's refusing to let me watch until she watches it with me. Oh, see, here's the thing. Watching almost all of these animated shorts, all I could think of is Carter is going to be in this category someday. She is going to create some animated thing And that's going to be Oscar nominee at some point. It's perfect, perfect category for her.

As good as that one was, there's another one we liked more called Ice Merchants. I'll come back to that one. There's also My Year of Dix, which you can watch on Vimeo, and it's about a woman trying to lose her virginity or a girl, trying to lose her virginity in Houston in the 90s. Okay. I thought it was maybe a bunch of a bunch of guys named Dick. I didn't know. It's really, it is really about what you think it is. However, the Flying Sailor, which is also available on YouTube, oddly enough, shows more penis than the cartoon or the animated short called My Eurodix.

I don't know how that works out, but there is a lot of penis in the flying sailor. But back to our favorite of the bunch, which is the Ice Merchants, or just called Ice Merchants. This is available on YouTube, and I, I've never watched an animated short that gave me such a feeling, like a. thrill like a almost not anxiety but like um like evoked so much emotion of fear and excitement and and all that stuff as this one it is there's no dialogue it is um again this is one i immediately thought of carter i think carter would like this one more than the boy the mole the fox and the horse so i would i would watch that one with her too okay um uh that one's Probably all of them.

Yeah, all of them, all four that are currently available. And unfortunately, an ostrich told me it's the end of the world as we know it, or whatever that one is called, also not available. And then the last one, I'm going to go to documentary shorts. Those are mostly available on either Netflix or YouTube. The one we watched is called Hallout, H-A-U-L-U-T. And I haven't seen the other four, but man, this is going to be a hard one for me. hard one to beat. This is

a remote outpost, I want to say in, geez, maybe Alaska, and these migrating walruses show up there and completely cover this area, hundreds

of thousands of walruses covering this area. And it's because the little floating ice flows that they use for sleeping, for resting after they do a bunch of swimming have all melted away so they have to swim

to this land all on their own and they're exhausted, they're dying, they're fighting, they're stampeding a lot more than normal and it is fascinating and when you see a veritable sea of walruses

it's a sight you're never ever going to forget with all these weird like vampire teeth sticking out of them. I would really like to know how you watched this it's been one of the hardest ones for me to obtain. This one is on Netflix. Oh, no, I'm sorry.

It's on YouTube. Is it? Right. I never think of YouTube. All subs, dubs. It's a Russian movie. It's Russian, but there is very little talk in that one. Like, you fine with subs on this one because there's so little, there's so little talking.

You're just, you're basically getting the entire story by watching this whole thing. This looks like something I'm going to like. And you're aware that. Elephant Whisperers is now streaming? The Elephant Whisper is on Netflix. Martha Mitchell Effect is on Netflix and Stranger at the Gate. Oh, I'm sorry, we watch Stranger at the Gate as well on YouTube. And I think that one is probably the one that's going to win.

It's about a very post, very right post 9-11, angry ex-military dude who sees all of these brown people at a mosque. and makes a plan for what he's going to do. And the direction that that thing turns is absolutely heartwarming, uplifting, and amazing. And it's a true story. Because these are all documentary shorts. Wow.

So Stranger at the Gate is another one I'm highly recommending. So if you take anything from this, Ice Merchants on YouTube for animated. Well, you know, all four animated are really good. Le Pupil on Disney Plus, night ride on YouTube for live action. Hallout and Stranger at the Gate also on YouTube. You know, it's weird?

Is Hallout is a Prime produced thing, Amazon Prime thing? But it's not on Prime video. It's so weird. Oh, that's weird. Yeah. I just noticed the logo on YouTube and I'm like, wait a minute, what the heck? Can I get it there? That's funny.

Yeah, New Yorker brought a lot of these to YouTube and good for them getting their hands on these to get more people seeing them. Well, I'm excited to see that one. So I'm sorry, I took up a lot of recommendal time, but there's so much good stuff in this list that I don't want. people to miss. No worries. That time of year, man. Okay, I'll go next. This is a thing that I saw on Prime, and I adored it, and I want to watch it again, and I think it got overlooked. It's some of the most beautiful cinematography I've ever seen, but it's also the quirkiest, weirdest thing

ever, and I loved it. Here's the clip. Never flown anything before, so I'm a little bit nervous about taking this little beauty up into the blue, blue sky. you don't try things you don't succeed here you just got to keep trying right the plan is I'm going to head off down the lane and by the time I reach the end

I should be hitting 90 miles an hour and then I take off into the blue sky and ahead to Dummock's hill all right doesn't give anything away but no this is a movie and I didn't tell you guys ahead of time because I knew nobody was going to pick it

so I just didn't say anything in our chat but this is a movie called Brian and Charles Oh, look at that. And another Brian in my life. This came out last year and is directed by Jim Archer, also written by him. It's based on this story that he wrote a long time ago, and it stars David Earl. You know him as, if you ever watch Derek, the Ricky Jervais, Derek, you know the kind of sliny, dark-haired glasses friend of his that was always making like in the windows and stuff?

That's him. Really thick glasses. Yeah. Yeah, that's David Earl. And he's wonderful in this. He plays Brian. and Charles is played by Chris Hayward but only in body movement because it's actually a robot voice. Charles is a robot that Brian builds way out in the northern part of England where it's all farms and sheep and all this.

And this guy's just like this tinkery nerd who likes to tinker with stuff and that clip you heard of making a weird bike that would like self-power itself and had all this power and stuff. And he just makes weird trinkety things. And it's this point in his life where he's, you know, he's a middle-aged guy, doesn't have anybody really to have to call his own. And so he just gets, you know, kind of a wild hair one night and builds this robot named Charles. And how the robot decides to call himself Charles and how this robot looks, you just have to see it to understand why it's so weird.

I've seen the title card for this thing. And it just looks so fascinating. Yeah. It is a wonderful movie. It is funny, quirky, heartfelt. I got teary at the end. I also laughed really hard at big chunks of this thing. It's almost like, it's hard to explain.

I don't know how to, I don't know what genres are being mashed up here to make the final product. But you'll recognize some of them and then be amazed at how well the puzzle pieces fit together in terms of the kinds of filmmaking going on. But one thing I do want to mention, all of that stuff is great. done like a it's like a mockumentary sort of style so that's that's a thing to note about the storytelling uh like somebody's there filming it and they they're aware of the cameraman kind of thing um but it's so beautifully filmed i've never in a not since in a shiren which is an amazingly photographed film uh the film the the the the filmography in this is unbelievable like just it doesn't deserve it almost it's crazy how pretty this movie is it's interesting

that you just named the one that beat it for the BAFTA, right? The BAFTA Award for Best British Film went to Inesheron over Brian and Charles which I think a lot of people were calling, you know, the backup favorite.

But that category was amazing at the BAFTAs a couple weeks ago. Scott, I think you would like most of those movies. I probably would like everything. No one has heard of most of those movies. Yeah. And I, and it's one of these where I don't know how many people even know this exist, but man, I fell in love with this movie.

This shot up the charts in my head as far as, like, one of my favorite things. I don't even know if I want to call it a comedy. It is. It's a comedy, but it's an allegory. It's like, it's like issues about getting older. It's also issues about growing up because in a lot of ways, Charles's story, the robot is a coming of age story. What's great about it is they've given him this voice that isn't a normal, I mean, It's not like a talking person.

It's not like, oh, hello, I'm, my name is Charles. And it's not like that. It's, barrederba's Charles, but like it's super like roboty. So when he's being very emotive, it's still coming across as very deadpan, but his body's moving like crazy. And sometimes he's like a child. Sometimes like he's a petulant teenager. Sometimes he's, he's learned his, his stuff. The movie does make you park your brain, but that's kind of the point.

I absolutely loved Brian and Charles and cannot recommend it enough. Loved it. And anybody can see this. This is a full range family. If you want to watch it with your kids, you totally can. They may not get it like you will

because it's quirky and weird, but it's, but it's nothing, there's nothing in here. There's like, there's no swearing. There's no sex or, no naked robot.

None of that stuff. And I thought it was absolutely fantastic. So check it out. Brian and Charles. currently streaming on Amazon Prime video. Awesome. Thank you. Yeah, it's so good. Nicole, let's get to you.

We got a little set up for me here. What do you got? It was so hard to pick a clip for this movie because there's a lot of action. And all the clips were like fight scenes. So, but I will say I adored this movie. It is a little bit comedy. it's a little bit romance it's a little bit action it's a little bit existential dread um it's wonderful so and i hope it wins all the awards oh there's a hint it's up for awards all right here you go

i don't know it's the only thing i do know is that we have to be kind Please, be kind, especially when we don't know what's going on. I understand that I'm not a few years. I have a lot of people who are chants, but we're not just we can't choose the way of the way. Bagel Figured that was a good place to end of the club

Bagel Tell us about the movie you love so much Oh so This is called Everything Or everywhere Or everything

Everywhere all at once Yeah Mixed up And you heard An actor by the name And I've been practicing Oh good He Wee Kwan

Oh very nice He is the original No Time for Love, Dr. Jones. Dr. Jones, yeah. What was his name in that movie? Short round. Short rap.

So I have been following his whole interview circuit. They did a really great interview with him on Sunday morning, CBS Sunday morning. And I almost wanted to cry because it was just

he was, he tried. really hard to continue to be an actor and the industry just kind of didn't want them. And this role came around and he waited for two months to hear if he got it. And because he was like, I'm perfect for this role. And he was. He was absolutely perfect. The premise of the movie is that it's all multiverses.

There's an infinite amount of universes. And in one of these universes, they figured out how to visit. the other universes. And Wayman is Evelyn's husband in this world, but you also have characters like Jamie Lee Curtis

who plays an IRS agent, but then there's other worlds where she's not, and it's just, it's so hard to explain this movie, and you just have to watch it. You can, it's actually in three parts, so the first part is called everything. Then the second

part is everywhere and then the third part is all at once so i actually watched the first part at night and then i got tired i was i had i got covid so yeah how you feeling by the way you feeling better i'm feeling i'm feeling a lot better okay good good screw covid it uh it got me i almost made it to three years i know but um oh no kidding yeah right um but but but then so I watched the first part then I woke up at the morning and I'm like okay I'm ready because I was just thinking about it so much because I didn't want to stop but I just needed to stop it's just and then Ginny Slates in it like a lot of little cameos it's such a wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful maybe Tina would have liked it more had she broken up

into three parts because we saw this at the movie theater and when the title card comes up for all at once for part three it's the first time I've ever heard her do this especially in a movie theater where silence is so what San Cressect is the word I think she actually physically just actually let out this groan like ugh like she was ready for this movie

to be over and it is a shame because I was really I did still really enjoy it she I think felt like it was too much when she got to all at once so maybe watching it in three parts maybe is the way to go if you tend to be sure

it's interesting how movies like this that you want to say universally acclaimed always have people that it doesn't click for for whatever reason i i noticed like everybody erupted about this movie back in april and may when it came out right like there was just like there was such word of mouth it was unbelievable how many people were telling me telling you right you need to see this movie at this is yeah and then there's some people that are like i didn't like it overrated and it reminded me of uh beau burnum's inside do you remember when that was like the big word of mouth and there were always every now and then somebody was just like this was the most boring thing I've ever seen why are you why are you

doing this I I think you need to check your you know your machinery if this doesn't like really you know click for you because man what a what an exciting movie are you saying that Tina needs to check her machinery I'm saying that she needed she needed to see this movie when she was better well rested better fed something that's all team is false there must have been something going on. She's hangary. Yeah. So I actually have been wanting to watch this movie since probably December, January.

But I was in a really bad mental state at that point that I purposely put this movie off. Because I think I could have watched it free streaming. It was on like one of my services. I ended up signing up for a seven-day trial to Showtime to watch this because I was like, wait, they took it off. Like, people want to watch this now. They were like, oh, we got to charge for it. I don't think it was ever, I think showtime's the only place ever had it. I don't think anyone's, yeah, I don't think they had it.

I've been following it for months and months and I've only ever seen it streaming on showtime or rental everywhere. Maybe I got that wrong. There were months and months you could spend $20 to watch. That was a good deal. Yeah. Yeah, that was a good deal at the time, but yeah. But I would, I would like to say that I thought it was, I thought it was going to be, you know, how I said the existential dread. Because it's like, if you really.

stop to think about like if you could experience every possible universe for the split of the possibility of how your life could have turned out. I think of you remember that movie sliding doors

with Gwana Paltrow? I loved that movie. I even had I even got our haircut in the 90s like that. But I I've always been fascinated with the what if stories. Like, I loved when I was a kid that choose your own adventure books, because you had

the ability to change the story based on the decision that you make. And this movie is like the epitome of a choose your own adventure kind of story. And it does, it's, I just loved it. I just, I love that kind of out of the box thinking of how the world would be. And really what it comes down to, I picked Wayman's clip of being kind because, you know, things do get really scary. And it's your support system and your friends and your family that hopefully are there to help you through those scary parts. So it just connected with me really well in my current state of being. Yeah. Well, I still haven't seen it and I want to real bad.

So, you need to before the Oscars got. this thing is going to it's it may or may not win all the Oscars right it's nominated for a lot of them most but it's going to be so fun to root for it while watching the Oscars yeah it feels it's weird I'm shocked no one for me to say this but it reminds it's a throwback to when Fury Road was nominated because it felt like I knew it wasn't going to win just because genre films don't win but when Fury Road was up for so many nominations that year the fun was rooting for it like sure I knew it wasn't gonna in this case that the two Daniels probably will win for best director which is weird Oscar hates to give two people an award but but there's like

you can you can you can root for this and know that you're going to get to see it win a lot well I may as well and Michelle is it Michelle Yao yo yo she's oh my God she's an amazing actress. And I just, I, I love seeing older, older actresses really get great roles. Yeah. She's awesome. She's a badass. She's good and everything. I liked her. I liked her a lot and her. Her discovery stuff was a real term, but I quite liked it. She's also. I didn't realize she did Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Oh, yeah. She's in everything. She's been a breakthrough rule for her, I think. She's amazing. She's great. I will watch it. I just need to do the stupid trial and get it over with. Yeah, just Amazon Prime, do the trial.

Yeah. And then watch, while you have Showtime, watch Yellow Jackets. Oh, yeah, Yellow Jackets. Oh, I heard that's good, too. It is really good, and the new season's coming soon. I think that's on Prime as well without the showtime, I think now. That may have changed, though. Well, anyway, awesome.

Good recommendation. Randy, let's throw it over to you. What do you got here for us? I changed my recommendation at the last minute because I could see where this was all going. Oh, thank you. So I have to redo the post. Yes, yes, indeed. I could see where this was all going, and I wanted to fit in with what everyone's doing today.

And my point is, Brian, if someone like Scott hasn't seen any of these things and has a little time in the next few days, there are some things that you can watch, and then you're going to get to see them win. So, for instance, you could watch Babylon on Paramount Plus and see it win for best original score. You could watch Pinocchio on Netflix and see it win for best animated feature. right and then there's also this that i gave you a clip from and it is it is going to win an oscar here we go okay we're going guys yeah okay so let's say i want to talk about something that we we sort of touched on this morning and you might hate this but i really want you to think about it if you are killed if this does happen what message do you leave behind to the russian people Oh, come on, Daniel.

No, no way. Like, you're making a movie for the case of my death. Like, again, I'm ready to answer your question. But please let me let it be another movie, movie number two. Let's make a thriller out of this movie, and in the case I would be killed, let's make a boring movie of memory. No idea. What the heck is this? Yeah.

This is Navalny. This is going to win for Best Documentary Feature Film. It is about Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader who has been in prison for over a year now. There was an attempt on his life twice before that. This film was primarily made during the time he was in Berlin and Germany recovering from the first attempt on his life, which was via the classic Putin poisoning. Is it that one with this like gives you like horrible radiation style poisoning or whatever? It's like a little, um, little nuke ball they put in your food or whatever.

Is that the one? That's polonium. That is not what, uh, what Alexei Navalny was, was given. Gotcha. He was given a poison that kind of vanishes. And so very, very hard to even know what's going on. They put it in his underwear, believe it or not. That's an amazing little fact.

Um, this film is massive. as documentaries go, this is such a huge film. And I will be rooting on Sunday for Fire of Love, but I know that, you know, I recommended that a few months ago. I know it's not going to win. It's about people who died 20, 30 years ago. This movie about this man who stands for democracy in Russia at this time, it is going to easily win this award.

And it's a really good documentary. I want you to know, like this kid, Daniel Roher, who makes this thing, like, you just heard the first few words of the movie. And Daniel Rower is just interviewing Alexei Navalny in Germany right before he goes back to Russia and submits himself to being imprisoned.

And, like, I don't understand how this person has any business making such a great movie. It is beautiful. And the music is awesome. And so on and so on and so on. Just cannot recommend this too much. It's on HBO Max.

You can watch the documentary award winner just in time for the Oscars. Okay. I have just now added it to my cue. That looks great. I do like stuff like this. The thing I didn't mention today, so I played the one movie I watched, but I watched like 12 documentaries since Kim left. I don't know what's wrong with me. But just like all night.

And when she gets back, it'll be back to normal. But Netflix thinks all I want right now is like true crime documentaries. I'm like, that's not what I'm doing here. I'm just having a moment. okay so I am in the mood for this sort of thing and I will be watching this for sure good good please do it's rare that you see a movie like this come along a documentary and it's important usually usually documentaries are valuable right some of them are highly valuable some of them are about a guy climbing up yosemite and this one is it's like one of those things

where as you're watching it you're going to keep thinking does everybody in the world know this? Everyone in the world needs to know this information, you know? Yeah. Well, I hope, this is a banner crop today. I hope people go check out all this stuff. Brian's alone will give you plenty to do. Plenty to do, although they're all short. So, you know, you could watch the four or five that I recommend and still be devoting less time than if you were going to watch one of the Lord of the Rings movies. Exactly. Which I did also a couple of weeks ago.

Yes. Anyway, that is going to do it. Thank you both for being here, as always. And I'm glad your COVID can take a hike. F off, COVID. Yeah. Yeah. Things sucks. And also tell Mark, it was me that shot your garage with the paintballs.

That was me. It did look like, it did look like. There was no residue underneath it, though. No, no. I know. It looked like eggs, right? It wasn't a paintball splatter looking thing either. It was like dripping down.

Who's poop or paintball? Who knows? Who knows? Maybe it was paintball poop. I'm just saying. Paintball poop. I think he just created a whole new business. That's right.

Tell Mark, I look forward to the documentary about his life and his paintball poop. All right, that'll be it for her. Hey, Randy, have a fantastic week. Thank you, everybody, for listening to Recommendals. And if you want to see where these lead us today or what we talked about, go to quicktm.org, where Brian has dutifully put it in and put it in again. I've put it in again. I've even changed it on the fly.

How about that? I like that. I like the fly. All right. That'll about do it for us, except we do have a call I want to play. 80147-10462 is where this voicemail came from, and it is Jeff about a thing. I could not remember the name of the other day, and we were talking about great voices that read. Oh, yeah.

What do you call it? Like narrators. Yeah, I can't think of the damn word narrator. Anyway, this is what he has to say. Hey, it's Jeff, the third-time Vegas guy. So, obviously, I listen to the podcast on like. Super delay. Sorry, life is crazy.

But anyway, I just heard your discussion on awesome, excuse me, audiobook readers. And Scott was talking about it, but you know, not Western. I have to say, hot, lead and cold feet, I think is what you're going for. And as an 80s kid, that was one of my favorites. Also, hey, Brian, I will be there. I'll buy you a drink. We'll talk all about why it's a long summer that I've been in Vegas three times now. Anyway, cheers guys. Talks later.

Nice. We get to see him. Cool. Looking forward to it. It'll be great. Yeah, I like when the locals show up to this event. I don't know why. It just makes it a little more authentic. Well, I mean, local, he's three times in Vegas. Like living in Vegas three times? Yeah, so he's back in. So this is a guy that called before and he said he lived in. Moved away. Came back. That's right. I said, I want to know this story why this is yet.

Yeah, so he's back in Vegas now. And so we'll get to see him. That'll be cool. But like, I don't know about you. When I roll up to a big group and I see everybody, I'm like, okay, everyone's from somewhere else. but then I see Mitzula and it just feels anchored. It's like, Chris's here, we're good. Litzula, James and Svet. Yeah, we're all good. The Jen, for sure. Yeah, the Jen.

Oh, that's right. The Jen's still teaching there. Yep. Anyway, Katrina. Can't wait to see y'all. That's it for that. I don't have much to say except, yes, hot, lead, and cold feet. That movie was great when I was a kid.

I loved it. It's one of my favorites. I thought about that. Jim Dale played both a bad guy and a good guy in the same movie. and I, as a kid, as naive as you are when you're a kid, I thought he was, I thought he had a twin. Because that was a story, and the thing, he did have a twin,

but I thought the actor was a twin. Yes. And that's how well I thought they pulled it off, but I'm not sure now. I'd probably be like, now I'd see it and go, oh, right, of course, not a twin. He's just playing two bars. Right, just played two girls.

I see what you said. Yeah. This is double impact for a different generation. Anyway, thanks for that. We appreciate it.

And as a matter of fact, what timing? Because he's recommending K-pop, but he's not trying to himself mislead us into thinking that he is a K-pop idol. Oh. Let me get that clarified. Okay. He is not a K-pop idol, all right?
