I'll sue you and the department for this insult to my client. I'll file a case first thing in the morning. Hey, counselor, you still have three or four hours before the courthouse closes. What's up, ye pickle dicks? This is the morning stream. And what we have here is a failure to communicate. Good morning and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023.

I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hello. Hello and good morning. Hello and good day to you, Scott. Good morning. good day, good night, good day. What's another thing they always say, old-timey, good morrow, good morrow to you.

Good morrow. What was Truman's thing? Good morning, good afternoon, and good night. Oh, I forgot about that. This thing, not Harry Truman, but. Yeah. Carrie Truman. Carrie Truman.

Not Harry Truman, but Kerry Truman. I'd never realize that you could make a pun there. I don't know what use it is, but I like it. What did he say after that? Didn't he say whenever I see you first or something like that? Good morning, good afternoon, good night. Whenever I see you first or whatever comes from. What was the...

Something like that. And then later they did that thing they do in movies where earlier it's said in that way, but then later they use it as a poignant moment of... I think it's the last thing he says to Ed Harris before he walks out the mystery door. That's right. Yes, in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Yeah, that movie's great. It is so good.

I think it's time for a rewatch. We haven't done that one for film side. No, but I think it's film sack worthy. I think it is film sack worthy. Because it's enough to talk about. It's not a pure comedy. It's not a pure drama. It's like a weird in-between thing.

Yeah. I love the director. I think we should do it. Let's do it. Plus Ed Harris wears a little freaking Andy Cap Cap-Cap thing. He does. He wears a little Scottish cap like Alan Cumming.

Yeah. He talked about at length in our in our pre-show. If you're not a patron and you want to hear about Alan coming, let me rephrase that. if you are a patron and you want to hear allan coming talk nope uh if you're not if you're not a patron yeah and uh you want to see what allan coming is up to we're almost there we're almost there you almost had it uh become a patron and you can hear us talk about coming the allen version

the allen take uh yeah we did a he was he was in the running uh to be lockhart in the second harry potter film the one that went to um oh uh who played lockhart kenneth brana oh right brana brana braana braina i like braana i like that brana yeah he he was okay in it but i the island coming would have been an interesting tape he would have been great he would have you would have added a nice little foppish uh arrogance to it i think it would have been great yeah that would have been all right so look at that if you're a patron you get a little allen coming pre-show and a little allan coming yep either way uh yeah Yeah, is it, is it, I mean, is he, is he somebody who maybe should have changed his name kind of early?

Yeah, Courthouse, 50 bucks, you're done. Yeah. Yeah, well, it would be 50 pounds for him. Although he had, I think he had, his early Hollywood days were notorious for his, uh, his good times. And I think maybe he thought, he probably, he probably embraced that aspect of it. It was kind of a punk, right. It was kind of like a punk thing, like, ah, I'm out of coming. If you.

Yeah, if you, I'm cool. You're not. sort of thing. Yeah. But for you, oh, thank you, dear. A warm beverage. Thank you. Oh, sorry.

My wife showed up with a nice hot thing of tea, which always warms my heart as I'm doing the show. Well, anyway. Hey, speaking of weird, well, we did a pre-show. We talked about some weird Marvel heroes. Oh, we did. Yeah. We finally have some clarity from Gene and Brooklyn Q, or from Brooklyn Q. I'm not sure what the Q is.

Brooklyn Q. Brooklyn Q. just says from Brooklyn Q. I don't know what that means. But anyway, Gene wrote it. It's Brooklink. Matter leader. Matter leader. Matter leader. Matter eater lad. We've talked about a lot of times as being the dumbest hero in the history of ever. Yeah.

And he, this is messages for you. This was a text that we got at 801-47-1-0-462. He says, Matter-Eater lad once saved the world because he ate a bomb that was going to destroy it. Can Batman claim he ever saved the world? I think not. I mean, Batman can claim it. Wait, I think Batman definitely can claim to save the world. I haven't read every issue of detective comics or the Batman series or any, like, of the hundreds of different Batman series there have been with thousands of issues. Yeah.

I'm sure in one of those Batman saved the world. I'm 100% sure of it. In fact, I know of it because I read, let's just take one series. Did he ever, like, was he involved in the defeat of Darkseed at some point? Oh, hell, hell yes. So that was thwarted a number of times. And the dark thing is being DC Thanos, basically. Sure, sure.

He's helped. And any time the J.L.A. does anything to save the universe, Batman's involved? Mm-hmm. And, like, did he ever save it on his own? Probably. Um, I feel like, he, he took actions in the deceased series, D.C.st series. It has DC at the beginning. D.C.

Yeah. It's a fantastic series of we haven't read it. But, um, yeah. Way more than just DC zombies. It's very good. Anyway. All right. And a couple of people are correcting me.

I used to pronounce it Dark Side. And then somebody told me, no, Brian, it's pronounced Darkseed. And I could have swore it was even like on comic dorks or some show that. Or even this chat room prior told us this. I feel like I have been told a hundred times in my life that it was never Dark Side. It was always Dark Seed. So are you? Oh, Dark Side.

What a great name for a character. And somebody will actually, and they push their glasses up their nose. and then there's a brain, it's pronounced a dark seed. Are you guys gaslighting us? Come on now. I've heard dark seed, then dark side, then dark seed again. Get it straight. Yeah.

The important part is that Batman has saved the world many times, okay? Look, I get it. The Matter Eater lad ate a bomb, and that did save people, and that's good. Good on him, Matter Eater lad. But I still say you can't throw Batman under the bus necessarily if it's all about saving the world. He's done it. He's been there. Mm-hmm.

Galactus also being talked about in our texts. And this is talking about Nicholas Cage as Galactus, because we're talking about casting him. And we didn't come up with this name. We didn't say Nick Cage, but he says, you all missed the obvious movie trailer tagline that Galactus Cage could eat a planet for hours.

Love the show. How did we miss that? That is actually kind of great. Yeah. Also, I'm trying to think if that, that's not bad casting. It'd be okay. Wouldn't it?

No, well. Well, give me your hot take on that. What do you think about that, Nicholas Cage's Galactus? Personally, I think Nicholas Cage adds too much, too much of a flare to Galactus, who is, who, without his giant size and ability to consume planets is the most, should be the most, like, nondescript, boring-looking actor. character that they should find. It needs to be like, um, uh, uh, not John Ham, but I mean, somebody who's got just kind of like a handsome, but square jaw, more, more non-distinct. I mean, I don't think John Hamm is at all a non-distinct actor. He's like, you know, I know what you're saying, though. There's a type. Like, um, uh, what's his face, uh, who played Dr. Midnight,

uh, uh, in Watchman. And, uh, uh, Oh, oh. Yes, who's that actor? Dr. Manhattan, you mean? I'm sorry. Oh, Dr. Manhattan. Geez, Dr. Midnight. Don't different.

That'd be, what's his face? Bond guy. I can't think of his name. He was in almost famous. Yes, and he was in the morning show. What the hell is that guy's name? Billy Crudeup. Thank you.

Billy Crude up. Is it crude up or crudup? Crudup. Crudup. Crudup. Crudup. Whatever, however he pronounce it. Somebody will tell us we're pronouncing it.

wrong. Anyway, Billy Cruttup would be a great Galactus. Going to go ahead and throw my vote that way. That's a great one. Good thing. Or is it, is it typecasting to make him both Dr. Barman and Galactus, right? A little bit, but he's got other work. He's fine. He's doing other cool stuff. So it's not like he's, you know, he's not trapped in a career of just playing these guys. It'd be much better to be, to get typecast as those kind of characters than the kind of character he is on the morning show. That's right. On Apple TV plus, which everybody should watch. Yeah, don't watch that. Don't call it TMS, though, you jerks. No, even though they do. Yeah, it's bastards. Anyway, well, thank you for that recommendation.

Sorry, Credseed. Oh, Cud. Billy Crudseed. Side. Billy Crudside? Oh, man. Now I don't know. Also, a little bit of a parental nepotism moment for me. Sure. Obviously, this is, I have a connection here, so, you know, just a full disclosure. It's my daughter I'm talking about. but my daughter Carter, an artist, has her commissions open currently. There are not many left positions, that is to say, or spots. So if you want to get any commissioned artwork going from her, if you've seen her work, then you know why you need to. If you haven't seen it, then go check it out at Instagram.com slash Ms. Carter E.

M-I-S-Carter E. Carter. Yeah, the E is for Elizabeth, but it's also the way they pronounced her name at her graduation from high school. they say they were announcing names and they go cartier johnson oh no really yeah i'm i was so annoyed she didn't care but i was pissed that was irritated oh my god that's actually you know what i think i kind of would have loved it if they would have mispronounced my name of my graduation yeah yeah knowing now how kind of dumb high school graduation is kind of um like who cares told that

here's a really really quick story about the ebo about the history of ebo yeah uh uh My grandmother was an artist. My British grandmother, Josephine, passed away several years ago. Very talented artist. And somehow had gotten through a friend some stuff hung in a gallery. And she kind of went there sort of incognito and not saying, hey, I'm Josephine, Ibit, blah, blah, blah. But it was just kind of hanging there.

And a couple ladies walk into, like, look in front of her painting. And one of them trying to sound smart to the other one says, Oh, it's an Ibo. Really? It's been a family joke for years now. A little French, a French end to the I like that. Right, exactly. Like, you know, like, that's the only way they could have thought to have pronounced I, B, B, O T, T.

I love that. That's actually great. Oh, it's an Ebo. See, I'd embrace that and think that's great. You did. It's become a family thing. You guys will have it forever. That's amazing.

Yeah. Well, anyway, go to Instagram.com slash Miss Carter E. And the reason you want to go there is because there's a post that tells you everything about how she does commissions. Pricing, how she deals with, like, getting used sketches and stuff like that. I think she only requires, like, 50 bucks down or something just to get going. So anyway, she's got a few open, a few slots left. It's going, it's closing fast. If you have any interest in that, Instagram.com slash Ms. Carter E.

Okay. Cool. Cool. We heard from Dunaway. I don't know if we've given him time. I've eaten away the clock. Let's see if he's checked in the game. I think he was thinking it was going to be close to the 930 mark for us.

So we could, we got, hey, do we kill another couple minutes? Yeah, we're going to talk about the greatness of Billy Crutup. I did put a link to how to pronounce dark side or dark seed in the, in our thing. Oh, okay, wait, let's play it. No, I mean, this is great. Okay, so I got to unmute the browser. Again, what we're doing is we're just basically saying, oh, somebody made a YouTube video, which obviously you would have to be an authority to be able to make a YouTube video. So, therefore, they must be accurate.

Oh, yeah, 100% this is correct. I mean, it's a YouTube video. So it can be wrong. Not just anybody can make a YouTube video. No, not at all. Hey, I can't sit and record two hours of a video game last night and post it just all by myself. It doesn't work that way. Okay, I'm going to hit play here.

Let's see what we get. I have full volume. Yeah. It's one of these slow fade-ins. Of course it is. We are looking at how to pronounce the name of fictional supervillain character, appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. How is this person going to tell us how to pronounce something in English? I know, dude.

I don't want, look, I'm going to let him have his say, but I'm a little concerned about... It's going to be the name of the character is Derkside. And a Sear, a Fred Arbison joke. Derkside. Yeah, that's what I'm a little. a little worried about, but let's see what he does here. His name, you can pretty much forget about the strange spelling of it. It's simply dark side.

So it is dark side, not dark side. All right. D-A-R-K, S-E-I-D. That doesn't seem right. It's pronounced Derek Seid. Wait, they've got Thor Ragnarok in here. Hold on. Let's see what this one is.

All right. Is this the same guy? We are looking at how to pronounce the name of 2017 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character, Thor. How do you go about pronouncing the name of this movie? Thor Ragnarock. Okay. All right. That's great.

Sure. Sure. All right. Oh, I found a Kevin Figi, figgy one. Hold on. Oh, please tell me it's by the same guy. I don't know. Oh, yes, it is.

The little flags on either side. Yeah, it's totally him. All right. Here we go. This is great. We are looking at how to pronounce the name of... Oh, my gosh. Hold on.

I'm getting a little... Getting a little too messy listening to this guy's voice. Oh, hold on. Wow. Oh, my gosh. We have like a Barry White album we can play while we listen to this. All right. Here we go.

Let's try it. This American film and television producer will be looking at how to say more names from Marvel Universe, the MCU. As well, he is indeed the president of Marvel Studios. Kevin Feige. So it is Feige, according to this guy.

Yeah, which is correct. I like, he's either really pitching to start being a sports announcer for golf games or he's trying not to wake up his mom. Yeah, I don't know which it is. But, you know, man, that's weird. Oh, he's got to,

okay, Claire, this is for you. Listen up. We are looking at how to pronounce the name of Irish and American actress who's received numerous accolades, including a Golden Globe Award, and nominations for four Academy Awards and five British Academy Film Awards. We are looking at how to pronounce Sircha, Sircha, Ronan. Wait a minute. I know, he even ups up and corrects himself.

Wait a minute. Sercia, Sercia, Ronan. That guy. I don't think you are allowed to have a pronunciation channel, which is all you're doing here. And you don't edit out your false start to the name. Is this live? Like, did he not have an opportunity to edit? It's just these like, what?

And nobody in his, nobody is a. The guy, my favorite comment in here is the guy says, this guy named Martin says, how do you pronounce a ward? Because the guy doesn't know how to do it. It pronounced Emma Stone. Oh, my God. So, Claire, was it even close? Are you going to freak out?

The second, yeah, Searsia, because she, on Saturday Night Live, she even had a song where she says, it's Searsha, like inertia. Didi-D-D-D-D-She had a whole song about it. Okay. All right, let's hear that one part one more time. Seisha. Searsha. Ronan.

Okay. I mean, Rehan in the chat says he's just emphasizing, sure, but it's weird. Yeah. Yeah, okay. He doesn't do it consistently is the thing. Seria. Sersha. That's amazing.

What a nice little rattlehole you sent us down. Fantastic. Do we have Dunaway now? We do. Dany is in? Oh, my gosh. Well done. Perfect.

Perfect. This is all going the way we planned. All right. Here he comes. Reminder chat. room, if you want to ping me in DM, do it right now on Discord, because if you do that right now, you'll be pulled in one of you. I'll do the fourth person, as I usually do, and that fourth person will get to participate in today's contest. If you don't have me friended or just want

to send me one direct frog pants, then the hashtag 1277, so you don't mix me up with whatever other frogpances there are out there. All right, here we go. Yes, that's right. Time for us to play a little game that Brian Nibbitt is made for us, and we do it with our old pal. Brian Dunaway joins us all the way from sunny South Carolina. Hello, Brian. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. How's things? How's work today? You're doing all right? You know, I was actually under the weather yesterday, but I feel a little better today. Yeah, although, you know, I'm not going to complain about it. It's just the pollen, it's the stuff in the air,

the plants trying to fornicate my nose. or viral or anything like that. Hey, how do you pronounce the DC character that is basically DC's Thanos? Yeah. Starts with dark. Starts with dark. Yeah, how do you say it?

Darkseed. Is that really how you pronounce it? No, I bounce back and forth. Dark side, dark seed. Do you bounce back and forth because people seem to always tell you, no matter how you pronounce it, that you pronounce you correctly? It's always wrong.

No, there's Dark Seed bride. Seeing the story. Superman 192. No, I don't know. I don't care. It's just dark, whatever. He's dark butthole. He is dark butthole.

Yeah. You're right. A French guy just told us it's pronounced Dalc Sied. No, Dhargis. I'm thinking of crap while I'm recording this. Well, I'm glad you're back, and I'm glad you're feeling a little bit better today because, boy, you're going to need it for this contest we're about to have.

Let's see if I have, oh, I have a lot. So let's pick our fourth person. Uh, let's see. That's one, two, three, four. Oh, I know who it is. It's her old pal. I am sci-fi. Let's get him in here. Oh. I am sci-fi is fourth in the row. Uh, sorry to nine of 12 on the, on the third and the fifth was Claire. So you guys are out. No, no big deal, though, because, uh, you know, there's always a chance for a future. Ian's always ready. Yeah, we're always ready here for you. Let's see if Ian answers. We're ringing him. We're ringing him. Ian, if you're there, pick up. If not, we go to number four.

Oh, you guys don't really want it to be clear today, do you? Do you really want that? Ian, come on. She actually didn't. She just sent a voice recording of her pronouncing Sarah Sharon. Oh, so she didn't mean to. Oh, well, then you know what might happen? Let's see here.

He says, oh. Oh, no, not this call. No, we have to call you, dude. Here, let me try it again. No, no, we call you. Yeah, you can't. Hold on. Where is it? I am sci-fi. Oh, he's right here. Okay, you have to join the call I'm ringing you from. Here we go. Let's try that again. Ringing, ringing, ring. Yeah, he tried to call me directly. That doesn't work that way.

Because then I wouldn't have you guys. You guys would go away. You'd be in a whole other call. What's that? Can I still click the button? So hit accept there. Yeah, it's still ringing. Oh, Ian. Ian, we're losing you. We're losing you. I might have to go to September. I am Darkseed. Oh, man. All right. He ain't answering. Remove from the group. Oh, no.

Yeah, that's just how it is. Okay, so now we add September. She's 9 of 12. Oh, that's not a problem. See, sometimes it pays to be number three. Yeah, sometimes, whoops, why isn't she showing up? That's weird. Hold on. One second, nine of 12. There we go. All right. Here it comes. September answer that call.

Why don't you just tell me who you want to be on the contest? Yeah. Keep getting a call from Ian. Ian, you're supposed to answer the call, not call. Is it not? Maybe it's not working. The calls are coming from within Discord.

She's not answering either. Something weird? Is it... Could it be Discord? It could be something might be Fabio Discord. It doesn't make any sense. Or is I call it.

Discoud. Discoud. Yeah, I don't think this is going to work. well let me try her again September are you seeing this when I call you hello oh there you are hi hey hi you made it this one was being weird

like I accepted the call but then I actually also had to turn on my voice oh okay okay well funky you have to turn that on funky Coleman Dean yeah the little like telephone receiver looking thing and also press that oh that's weird that you have to click that anyway hey you're here

here, and that's all that matters. Brian, will you explain to September? Who's seen this a million times how it works, and then what she might win today if she wins? Sure. I am here to tell you how to play the game called the Tad Pooley Field. Oh, good. I've surveyed

the Tadpull on some nerdy topics. Scott and Bring have to predict the answers that you guys gave us, and it's Scott and Brian's job to see how many those answers they can guess. September, you know, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you get a package that includes

five dates and scourgebringer. Scourge Bringer. Scourge of the Bringer. Yeah, that's a good game. I like that game. Yeah. Both of those on Steam and both of those courtesy of our friend Wesley. Whizley?

Huisley. Shut up, Wesley. Let's get to our game because, my gosh, we've all just been waiting. Pins and needles to figure this out. That's right. Please proceed to place those hands on said buzzers and give your best answer to this. We asked 514

members of the Tadpool to give us their response to this. What's your favorite potato chip or crisp? Potato chip or crisp? Someone said Doritos. Doritos. That was mine.

Show me Doritos. Nobody yet. Nobody yet. Nobody yet. Nobody yet. You got to wait. Probably Brian. I thought, I thought for sure to repeat the whole question for Brian. Yeah, I must have missed.

almost did the same thing. Oh, goodness. What's your favorite potato chip or crisp flavor? Oh, Doritos not a flavor? Come on. Doritos is a flavor. It's a flavor of 12-year-old boy socks. That's what that smell like.

You ever notice that? Why are you putting 12-year-old boy socks in your mouth? I don't want to know. I don't want it. I'm going to go with. When 12-year-olds hit 12, boys, I don't know about girls. Their feet smell like Doritos, and it's gross. Anyway, go ahead.

It's your turn. I'm going to go with salt and vinegar, even though I hate it. Salt and vinegar. I love it. Hate it. Show me that classic flavor right there. Number one answer on the board. So to answer your question, September, you're playing with Brian.

There you go. So to answer your question, Coxie said, you like salt and vinegar? And I'm like, no, try, do not. And the reason why, because I think it's number one, because people who like salt and vinegar really like salt and vinegar. And people who don't are kind of like, oh, no. It's my go-to every time there's chips

involved. I love them. Oh, no. We lost September. Oh, she's back. But that is totally true. My go-to is salt and vinegar as well. Although,

after looking at this list, there's a few I need to add to my rotation, apparently. Your repertoire. Every year, that's like their game every year, right? It's like, oh, we're going to bring it on a new chip flavor.

Oh, yeah. Remember, because we were getting those on the show to try. It was Lays or somebody was coming up It's really bizarre flavors that we would try on the show, like octopus and goat urine or something. Remember that? My favorite is when they had the contest. Here's a mystery flavor. Why don't you tell us what it is?

And then we all ride in and they pick it. Which really was just their way of saying Bob in production forgot to label a drum of chips. And we don't know what flavor this is. Please tell us what it is. All right. All right. All right. You and September.

Yeah. what do you guys got what do you think you got an opinion i think all dressed had to have been said all dressed yes oh man this is how you know someone from the eastern side of the country is on the show because we never calling that out here we got Canadians i did have to look this up yeah all dressed is a mix of ketchup barbecue sauce sour cream and onion and salt and vinegar and i need some of this in my life but did enough people say it yeah to make it to make it land in the top 10. Let's find out. Show me

all dressed. Oh, that is some good points. That's September. Good job. Nowhere to go. What the heck voice was that? I love it. All right. That's me being excited. Back off. I was sick yesterday and I feel better today. That's right. Let you have you. You be you, man.

Go for it. All right. My fiance hates my say that. You be you. What that's supposed to mean? I'm just saying you have the freedom. To be yourself. to be. That's right. Right. Yeah. All right. September, what you got? You got something else? I want clarification on whether like

Doritos' flavors count. Like are they technically a shit? So here's the thing. It never matters if they count or not. If they're technically accurate, it remembers what the tadpool said. Yeah. They could have said, they could have said

but moon. If enough of them had to said it if you believe that the tadpool didn't pay enough attention to the words potato chip in that land, then certainly guess a flavor that Yeah. Ooh. Okay. Well, yeah.

It's helpful without being helpful, I hope. Right, right, right. Everyone has favorite Doritos. Mine is not, I like the sweet chili, but I bet people said cool ranch just because it's the first thing I came in their head. Those are good. That's a good answer to me. Good answer.

I'd eat those right now if there was some in front of me. I love them. Without a doubt, without a doubt. All right. Boy, you want to stink a room up. That'll do it. Show me them. Cool ranch potato chip Doritos.

Number seven. Yeah. There are ranch flavored potato chips or crisps. So I, I'm never going to take an incorrect, factually incorrect answer out of the running. But there are ranch chips. So it totally fits. Sure. Right, right.

Hmm. All right. Thank you. Do you have another winner up your sleeve, September? Oh. it's so hard to think of like what people would say versus what I like well I think that there's some type of cheddar cheese always like a sour cream and cheddar oh sour cream and cheddar oh good especially with the garlic

sometimes you're not so what we're going with is that is that what you're going with uh-oh oh no we lost her again my gosh do you guys want to do sour cream and cheddar You're like, all of a sudden, you're redderless. Yes, she's back. All right. You want to go with that one? You would go with the end. What was it then?

Where is it? Sour cream and cheddar? Or you just want to do sour cream or you want to do sour cream and cheddar? What you want? What's your pull? I think sour cream and cheddar is superior. I hope people agree. Okay.

Well, then there you go. There's your answer. Show us on the boards. All right. Show us. Cheddar and sour cream, the correct order that those are placed in on the a bag of ruffles, yeah, number five. Oh, yummy.

I do like a... Again, another one that I need to check out because I don't think I've had the cheddar and sour cream. Oh, you'll love them. They're really good. I feel like they're... A little bit goes a long way, though. You don't want to eat too many of those. Yeah, yeah. They're good, though.

All right. All right. You guys are creaming me here. What else do you got? I know, right? I hate to even say anything because you're killing. You're getting all the good points. What do you think? You got another one up your sleeve there? What do you... What you're thinking? It's not I've got one, but... I'm, I'm vacillating between plain old traditional barbecue. Yes, it's barbecue.

That was on my mind as well. Barbecue. Let's give that shot. Let's give that BBQ. Got to be careful, right, that you don't give Scott answers in case you get a strike. All right. Show me the old B to the B to the Q. Number three.

One of my favorites. That's the top for me. Much better than salt. Yeah, but again, they go, to me, they're mealy and oily. I don't know. They're not my favorite. What's the court? What are you talking about?

Well, okay. Specifically like Lays brand. I don't, those, I get sick of those really fast. Whereas like Lays cheddar and sour cream, not so much. Like salt and vinegar, I could eat a whole bag and probably kill me, but I love them. So Lays is like a land of various landmines and some of them blow up in ways I like. How about that? I feel like barbecue was the first non-traditional chip flavor that we got.

And we just got. excited about it that now it's like barbecue it's like you know this is when they first introduced cherry coke in cans and we're like oh my god a different flavor of coke we're all over this and now it's like oh cherry coke and does it really taste like barbecue i know i have in my mind what barbecue chips tastes like but does it taste like barbecue not really not really in my opinion i think the best barbecue flavor anything i've ever had in a chip form was a or the barbecued fritos those are really good oh god fritos all right yeah That'll stink a room up, too.

Yeah, that'll, you think corn nuts will stink a room up. Try some free does. Woo-hoo. Yeah. Corn. What else you got, September? I'm easy street. Look at you.

You're just giving it all to her. All right. It's easy. I love those. How are those cuttails feel in there, Brian? They're comfy. Ooh. Oh.

Shoot. It's fewer answers. It's getting harder. Yeah. What about? people are coming up with all kinds of stuff. Oh, chat room, yeah, yeah. And barbecue covers all the barbecue, right?

Barbecue covers all the barbecue, yeah. It's a valid question because there were a bunch of different kind of barbecue-ish flavors, and I just kind of lumped them together. Right, just like those potato chips. Lumped them, lumped all those potato chips. So what about ketchup? Oh, yeah, Canadian chips, but they're a thing. They're very Canadian.

Very Canadian. Very Canadian. Very Canadian. They're very good. And I love them and I wish they would come here. But for whatever reason, they stay out of the States. Very expensive. Very expensive. My son, Andrew, he loves those. And we'll get them for Christmas sometimes. I think they paid like $30 for a bag. Oh, my gosh. Do you have a cost plus world market near you, Brian? Yeah, we have a world market, but there was nothing there. We scoured that place. We had to order this off. Frickin eBay. They came in, it was crushed, it was crushed up and stuff. It was like, here you're your stupid ketchup chips. All right.

Point, here's maybe where you and I are astride a massive canyon. I will never eat anything I buy off eBay. It was desperate. It was desperate. Well, they have, you know, eBay, in a lot of ways, is just straight up store now for places, right? Like, you just buy. That's how this was.

It might have been like a world market eBay store or something. Yeah. We didn't just like buy it off Joe's, Yeah, it's not like some guy's got a bad photo of a bag of chips on his desk going, all right, I'm going to let these go for the highest bidder. You'll drink water in a lift after watching spree, but you... Or vice versa. Yeah, you won't drink the water in a spree, but you'll buy chips you bought up eBay.

I remind you, I didn't eat the chips. I just purchased it. That's true. That's true. Okay. You would enforce somebody else eating them. Hey, show me ketchup. Yeah, number nine.

Scott, can you even? And he's absolutely mathematically eliminated. You're out of the game. Congratulations, September. Let's play this out of the last four. Wow. Yeah, let's see. You haven't even had a buzz yet, I don't think.

No. Nope. Okay, so sour cream and onion? Oh, yeah, duh. I think that was probably the second flavor that happened to the barbecue. That's perfect. And now I'm not worried about Scott. I'll say pizza's my favorite, by the way.

I love the Pringle's pizza. Pringle's pizza? Oh, yeah, dude. You know what, though, Pringles? One day we're going to be held to account for those. as a race, as a human race. Because really, it's just, it's all, it starts as goo and then gets pushed into a shape. It's just, it's, it's horrendous what we've done there.

It's the McRib of chips, really is what it is. It is. Did you know the shape is on purpose, like you're supposed to eat them where you get the most surface area on your tongue? Yeah, really. Yeah. I saw this on the how, how things are made or what's that show? Yes.

How it's made. Yeah. And that's what, that's where I learned about the goo going, you know, into these molds. and I just went, ugh, what are we doing? And then we put them in a tube. What are we doing? Who are we?

What standards do we have? When you think about it, it's got to be a lot more work to produce Pringles than just regular chips that you put the same Pringles flavoring on, right? Yeah, right, right.

Oh, we either have this machine that just slices the potato and throws them in the fry. Oh, no, no. We've got this machine that grinds the potatoes. Then it puts it into a separate machine that puts that goo into a form. Yes.

And we can make one chip at a time before I'm at it with this machine and then it moves on. It's annoying. But who we are as people is answered by, once you pop, you can't stop. You can't stop. You can't. I can't remember what you chose. Sour cream and onion. Okay, good. That's what I thought.

All right. Show me sour cream and onion. It's number two. Sourkemen and chive. Dure. Dirk. I don't know why I didn't say that. What else we got?

The answers left. I don't even want Scott to even touch this board at this point. I'm like, I want to be a shot. I don't blame you, dude. This would be kind of like a record in a few history if you were able to get the entire board without a single strike.

Yeah, it's not salt and vinegar, but the pickle chips, I know have been very popular with people as well, but what do you think September? I'm not going to group it up. I love till pickle chips. Yeah, I actually like pickle chips, which is weird. Can't stand salt and vinegar, but pickle chips I like, but they're kind of similar.

You know, the treat with the trick of salt and vinegar is the kettle chips. Oh, yes, yes. Are a whole different animal there so much better because I think the vinegar disintegrates salt and vinegar regular potato chips and they're just greasy mess. Yeah. You're right. But the kettle chip ones.

Funny, funny side story while you're deciding if that's real or not, my wife was in, we were in a Jimmy John's drive-thru the other day. Jimmy Jones has a drive-thru where you're at? Yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah, they totally do. I don't think we've got a single one here that I know of that's a drive-thru, Jimmy John. all of ours do that's weird wow yeah anyway so we're going through the drive-thru and the guy we get up to the thing and kim says do you guys have can we get an extra bag of

tipple picks she says yeah yeah and i said no no i didn't say anything i knew she meant pickle chips but she said tickle chips oh no she said tickle pips okay pips and i said and i said well i didn't say anything i laughed really hard yeah she turned around and she hit me so hard in this left arm that now i still have a little bruise here from tickle pips how how's your fickle pips they're going to make good yeah they had them want to order yeah that's hilarious it's not really a bag called tickle pips right no it's she was looking for pickle chips pickle chips she just screwed it up when she said it and you know like i have any right to laugh at that i do that all the time right exactly and uh boy she let me know who anyway wow all right okay let's uh i love it what we go

Oh, are you going with pickle chips? Oh, I'm going with pickle chips or what you want to do? Pickle chips. I didn't ask you. Tickle Pips. Sure. Let's go out with some pickly chips. All right.

Show me do pickle. Oh, that's number 11. Basically, if three more people would have set pickle chips, then Tickle Pips would have made it into the list. So, Scott actually gets a, he gets a crack at the board. All right. All X's. All X's. This will probably be a throwaway here, but I'm going to say plain.

Okay. Oh. You know, like just a standard-ass potato chip. You would say that. Of course I would. Brian's response to that was absolutely hilarious. Yeah. I mean, it's a flavor.

What is lays by itself? It's just chips. I mean, salted is a flavor. Yeah, salted chip. Is that it? Yeah, that's it. Potato flavored chips. Yeah.

All right. Show me plain. Number four. Yeah, plain original salted. I also lumped lightly salted in there because, come on one way, you say it's like, you know, it's basically the same thing. It's just your plain original potato flavor. It's the dip lover's choice. That's right.

You know what? It is because it's, right. It absorbs whatever flavor of dip you put with it. Okay, now it's tricky. It's gotten there. Two left, and I feel like everything's been covered, so this is not easy. So let's say, uh, oh, uh, oh. it almost came out

a little Pete what almost came out oh what is it that she gets and likes my wife has a thing of lemon oh

I don't know the name lemon something you don't okay is it the halitia lime ooh no is it lime maybe I'm thinking a lime but I don't know about the halpino

oh crap you know what I'm saying jalapeno lime. Let's do it. That might be what I'm talking about. All right. All right. Show me maybe lemon, but could be lime alipeno? Nothing. I'm going to give it. I'm going to give it to you,

even though it's just just jalapeno flavor. Nobody said anything that contained lemon. Or have a lime. Lime did come up. Let me find it here. Anything like that? Nothing with the coconut. Okay. You drink it all.

Oops. Let's see. Maybe not. Why is my fine not working? Come on. Find something, can I? Oh, there it is lime. Just sour cream, by the way, is bomb. Zero, zero limes. No limes?

No limes? Oh, weird. All right, I'm going to, my final stab will be the French onion. Oh, sure. Some people like those. I do not, but French onion. French onion. Show me French onion. Oh, damn it.

Okay, somebody named Tickle Pips, just followed the channel. I don't know who that is, but someone went out and, like, register the name and then follow the channel. Anyway, go ahead, sorry. That person is the hero of the day. September, we need something slightly more popular than pickle chips, but slightly less of ketchup. So how about honey mustard chips? Those are good. Is that a thing?

Mustard chips. Oh, yeah. I never heard of those. I mean, the pretzels. Oh, yeah, those are good, too. The buffalo, I've had the buffalo. Do you think people did more Doritos and went with, like, nacho? I think so.

I think not, do we already do a nacho? We haven't guessed any other Dorito flavors. Okay. Yeah, I think Nach is a good guess. Yeah, because, again, you're talking about the tadpool, and they're not necessarily, you know, stick into the potato. Careful. Careful. All right, go with a nacho.

What do you think, Brian? Come on September I'm down with it We'll do it So you guys can move on with the show Yeah I'm already texting Randy and saying

I'm sorry not this week Yeah, I got to let Tom no Sorry Tom no tech this time Sorry, Chip, chip talk Got to go All right you're going with I forgot what was all this Oh, uh, uh, nacho

Nacho Nacho Nacho Nacho Just like the Great song from the movie RR Show me

nacho, nacho. Ah, that's a shame. We're 15 in the list. It's a real shame. People still do like it, just not as much as the ones they like above. So, the other salty ones I like a lot are salt and pepper. Is that on there? All right, salt and pepper.

Yeah. Salt and pepper. Let's see me to push it real good into a win here. Ah, there you go to salt and pepper in any form. Oh, there you know. Those are good chips. If they don't have salt and vinegar, then they don't have salt and vinegar, then And that is my go-to to see if they have salt and crack pepper. So Scott guessed plain and salt and pepper.

And then you gave them jalapeno. I gave them jalapia after a lot of citrus stuff. Yeah, it was bad showing. I'm not going to pretend. Hello, bland man. Yeah. All right. Running down a few more of these.

Kettle chip as a flavor, even though it's really a brand and it's kind, but it was number 12. Zaps Voodoo, number 13, those are. Yeah, there's a good. Maui onion, cheese, cheese and onion, paprika, sun chips, just as a flavor, because there's really nothing else to describe the flavor of sun chips. Chicken, you're good old chicken chips from the UK, flamen hot slash red hot, smoky bacon, and someone sadly allergic to potatoes. Oh, no biscuit and gravy like they had a couple years ago?

Which is the only one that, oh, gravy was somebody did say gravy, but one person said gravy. No passes, allergic potatoes was the only thing close to a pass that people... I feel bad for them. That sucks to be allergic. There's so much potato in our crappy American diet, you know? Yeah, it's a, what is it, nightshade? No, is that... Yeah, it's a nightshade food, right?

Nightshade potatoes, tomatoes and... Mushrooms, yeah. I think. Oh, I didn't know that. No, not mushrooms. That's a fungus. Okay. Eggplant, though.

Egg plant, sure. Well, the important... I'd be fine if I was alerted. to plant. Yeah, it'd be all right. Oh, no, I already am. I'm already allergic to eggplant in theory, you know. I'm just allergic to the emoji. Yeah. I'm practicing, I'm practicing allergic to it. Yeah. Congratulations. You're the winner. Oh, my gosh. Look at this. After this incredible upward climb to this mountain of victory, you made it September. September, how do you feel about your win? Woo-hoo. Oh, my gosh. It qualifies, yeah. Overwhelming positivity on the win there.

Brian, remind her what she's won, and you'll send most of her. You've won a copy of five dates and Scourgebringer, courtesy of our friend, Poysler. Congratulations. Brian Denaway tonight, we're doing Play Retro, and from now on, it is on Wednesdays. We bumped it. Wednesdays is the new date for Play Retro, and it'll happen every night at 3.30 Mountain Time. That's about 5.30 Eastern, so please join us this afternoon for some good old fashion ape escape talk and also kiss our butts all right he's out of here we're going to now get

to a song so we can take a break and get tom meriden here and uh that song will be presented by you because i don't know what it is so take it away gosh you'd think that in all of this time i would have had the opportunity to prepare the information about the song that i'm to be playing but uh you know uh it's important now more than ever um that i get this together and why am i saying now more than ever Scott because by golly that is the name of today's band it's called now more than ever and boy is that a very common

phrase in it's coming here oh oh there we go all right here we go yeah we go we made it hey this brand new album just came out this last Friday it is the band now more than ever

their debut album is called creatrix C-R-E-A-T-R-I-X which is not for kids. Came out via Thirsty Tiger's Records, big thanks to Grandstand Media for letting me know about this. This is a band formed by a dude from the All-American Rejects, one of the co-founders of the band All-American Rejects, Tyson Ritter. I guess he got rejected. Scott Chiesack, also from Rejects and Panic at the Disco and Weezer. And Izzy Fontaine from the band Taking Back Sunday also works with Tegan and Sarah and Glassjaw. This is their

brand new supergroup. It's called Now More more than ever. Here is the song from Creatrix called Tragedy. I want that scripted life. You want to twist a knife. The blade in my belly doesn't tell me you care. All right. I'm just his face in the crowd lost in this island so loud. Mr. Black Cloud, come on down. You can rain on my parade When the curtain falls down and it hits your feet You're living in the land of Maple Leaf You play the part so gracefully

You mean tragedy I don't want that happy ending It's on third act twist depending on the heroine To let him in And take the hero's head When this dream Gets worse Despair the curse

Mr. Black crowd Come on down You can rain on my charade A parade Oh It falls down and it hits your feet You're living in a land Of Maple Leaf

But you play the part so gracefully you me tragedy and you can take that bow if it's all you need the lights fade out and the chorus leaves I'm screaming out from the balcony you me tragedy

It's a fool that falls in the same alone And I was the story goes Here's a fool and falls in a fake and all alone When the gun falls down and it hits your feet, You're never in a land don't make believe But you play a part so gracefully You need tragedy And you can take that bow if it's all you need

The lights fade out and the chorus nears I'm screaming out from the balcony You need, Tragedy Oh! If those monkeys are left to their own devices, they will probably end up seriously changing the course of history. Thank you for my Bunghole Cupcake.

This is the morning stream. The D-de-D-D-D-N-D-N-E. And we returned. Who was that band again? That is the band, I'm sorry, that's the band now more than ever from their brand-new album, Creatrix. And a song called Tragedy.

Amazing. And what might be a tragedy is that Tom is in Hawaii. Oh, he's out of town. I totally forgot. God. I didn't even know. Oh, I completely spaced it. Yeah, no kidding, right? I forgot. This was their big vacation this year, and I sort of knew this, but he and I haven't talked, and I totally forgot. Gosh, dang it. All right, Tom's in the Hawaii. He's not here today.

Tom is in the Hawaii, so that makes up for all the time we spent with the September. That's right. It sure does. You know what that means? That means that we can give 15 minutes to news, and then we'll bring Randy in. How about that? Oh, okay. Sounds good. I like that, because we prepared it all. all. We may as well use it. So here we go. Don't watch the news. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Joe Haffner's daily digital download. Check it out by going to tiny.c-c-c-c-slash-J-H-O-H-E-H-E-F-N-E-R, Joe Haffner, and the daily download. Yeah, go check it out. He's a listener of the show and does his own little cool daily thing,

and I thought it would be cool to let people know about it. So go check it out. And good job, Joe. You're doing a good job over there. All right. going to proceed forth here with this news. Rolls-Royce, you know the car people? Are you familiar? I am. I thought you were maybe going to be talking about the band that did car wash in the 70s, but you're talking about Rolls-Royce.

Oh, yeah, this is the actual car. Not Rose-Royce, the band. No. Are they still together? Probably not. Gosh, no. I think they all drowned in a sad car wash accident. Automatic car washes came around and they were like, oh, I guess we're done.

That's right, exactly, yes. no nobody's working at the car wash yeah technology took another took another artist off the page uh well anyway rolls royce the car company has secured funds to develop a nuclear reactor for the moon base that's coming oh fantastic yeah no way this could go wrong no it'll be fine look they you know they know cars and they know giant nuclear reactors nuclear moon reactors yeah that's good stuff rolls royce has received funding from the UK space agency to develop a nuclear reactor for the moon base or for a moon base. I keep saying the as if it's done. It's not that we know of. Anyway, the project will look into how nuclear power could be used to support a future base on the moon for astronauts.

Scientists and engineers of the British company are working on a microreactor program to develop technology that will provide power needed for humans to survive, live and work on Earth's natural satellite otherwise known as the moon the moon la luna la luna it's where robots with kevin spacie's voice live that's right and uh the the krypton criminals hang out and uh harass and haze our astronauts that's right and there's some aliens in the core of it right based on that moonfall stupid movie oh right yes there's like it's it's full of bees yeah space bees space bees oh yeah i forgot about the stupid nano space bees that movie sucked it really sucked Anyway, all space missions depend on power sources to supply systems of communication, life support, and science experiments, duh.

Experts suggest nuclear power could dramatically increase the length of the lunar missions. The UK space agency has announced 2.9 million, I guess that would be pounds, because that's the sign for pounds. Or is that? Sure, sure. They're using... That is pounds, yes. Why is that look like Euros to me? I mix the two up all the time.

Euros look like a C with a couple lines. That's right. I'm really like an E with an equals sign for middle. Well, if America has its way, we're all going to have an S with two lines in it. I see a new Taskmaster, Taskville Challenge. Get your partner to identify these symbols by the descriptions without using. Yep. Here is the Vietnam Dong, and that's the symbol there.

Yen. Yen. It's all. Basically, all of our money symbols are a letter with a line through it, right? Yep. Isn't it? I think so. Two lines through it?

Something with lines through it. That's the rule. Anyway, they'll deliver an initial demonstration of a UK lunar module nuclear reactor. I guess they're going to show that here. You can't really show it on the moon. Oh, great. That's even better. Yeah, it seems dangerous.

Let's demonstrate a nuclear reactor here that we're going to put on the moon later. Take it from somebody who's been playing a lot of Dyson Sphere program, which is basically factorial, but with multiple planets. And this feels a lot like. that and I'm so bad at it that I really hope Rolls Royce has the right people involved. That's all I'm saying. All right. Top men. The science minister George Freeman says,

this is the UK minister of science. I don't know why I said it twice. Just no rephrase the words. Space exploration is the ultimate laboratory for so many of the transformational technologies we need here on Earth for materials to robotics, nutrition, clean tech, and more as we prepare to see humans return to the moon

for the first time in more than 50 years. We are backing exciting research. like this lunar module reactor with Rolls-Royce to pioneer new power sources for lunar base. Now, here's how it'll go. Roles Royce will do the first one. But then Chevy and Dodge and everyone else will make a version of it. Amazon or Blue Origin come up with their own.

Yeah. It just doesn't, it didn't follow my whole car analogy. I did. I did Ford. Yeah, Chevy. But you know what? Amazon wouldn't surprise me because you got that Bezos guy all into space. he's into it's right yeah so why not have your your amazon prime dollars go toward a giant

new facility he's got a boner for space and we've all seen it we've seen him fill it with uh shatner yeah yeah he's got that big giant penis chip full of shatner that's right yes where he go oh jesus oh jesus oh oh jesus oh jesus he just turned 92 92 why why is your impersonation sound like he doesn't have any Like, he just got panfart right in the face. I don't know. Oh, oh, Jesus. I've eaten too many of these.

It was like Elvis Chattner. It was a little bit. Too many banana peanut butter sandwiches or whatever. Right, exactly. Well, good luck to them. Here's a fun one. Okay. Getter's...

You know Getter? You're familiar with Getter? I am not, but I'm assuming it's an app just based on the fact that they've dropped their second e yeah they did and it's a twitter competitor it's like a oh okay sort of like you know you would i don't know it's like twitter you just do short messages and everybody yeah yeah where where as soon as women say something everybody just piles on and goes get her yeah getter now they do cater to let's say um well a lot of anti-vaxxers like getter all right i'm putting it that way i'm making a judgment go where you want to go but that's that's there's a lot

But it's basically like, I don't like if things the liberals are saying on Twitter, let's come up with our own version of Twitter that's... Well, it could be that. It could have started that way, I don't know. But it says here that the network, the actual social network getter, wants to corner the anti-vax, pardon my French, jizz market. They're talking about the kind of music in Star Wars. Of course, just jizz music, yeah. Now, that's totally it.

Some people pronounce it jazz, but these people, they refuse. They have to call it jazz. call it jizz yeah smooth jiz you like to call it what's the one where you have what's the version of jazz that's like fusion okay jiz fusion

I was hoping you were going to go bebop oh no I like bebop but sure it's not going to go there anyway I like fusion okay it's an it's an it's an occasional I'm like you I kind of like everything outside of like modern country but I like

Yeah. I mean, I love the stuff that Andrew Allen puts together for sure. And I like improvisational jazz like that. I like bebop. I like, I do like Fusion. I like, um, yeah. I learned the other day. Did I like me some brewbeck? Did I tell you about how I learned, I learned the origin of house music was not what I thought it was. I figured it'd be some German or Prague club or something. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's, it was Chicago. 1970s in these old warehouses down there and it was all black music and a place where black folks would go to hear this music and these DJs that like cornered this, you know, this new kind of sound, this kind of repetitive, electronic and fused thing.

Yeah. I can't remember the name of the podcast where I heard this. It was an amazing origin story. Interesting. Yeah, I didn't know that. It started there and then it got exported. some of the songs got recorded and then ended up in Europe and it went crazy over there which is why I think we think of that do do do do thing yeah right was there like dub any influence

from dub or anything like that or did it no that was that all came later so that all came later yeah so this this this this this this this house slash electronic kind of driving sort of rave music has the has origins I would have never expected it was a oh it's a through line is the name of the podcast it was a through line is a pop yeah it was a great that was a really good listen so everyone should check that out that's cool all right anyway as a big fan of that genre it was a real a wake-up call for me i didn't know idea that stuff is yeah anyway there's a link to the episode i'm clicking that and i'm gonna you're gonna listen to uh divine comedy later i'm gonna listen to uh through line later this has been a quality exchange that we've had yes a trade a fair

trade it's a fair take a little ellen going and a little ellen coming a little pitching a little catching absolutely well anyway the getter social app wants to corner the the the sperm market but only but they want to do it from people who aren't vaccinated is the idea so it's not just any sperm the proposal would see the company expand to include a marketplace on the service for semen from men who haven't taken any of the vaccinations for COVID-19 these sources familiar with the matter and a fourth briefed on the situation described serious repeated discussions about creating an online anti-vaxed semen market in which unvaccinated man would self-advertise. Well, that seems dubious.

You do contain all the genetic markers for belligerents, unfortunately, yes. Unfortunately. And sell sperm to the highest bidder, two of the sources, say stakeholders have gone so far as to explore possible testing requirements. Some staff have also expressed skepticism internally about the feasibility of the plan, noting restrictions of semen sales in other countries and other hurdles, legal or otherwise. All four sources spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe these deliberations. One adding, it is just a too embarrassing man, unquote.

Too embarrassing man. Yeah. I say go for it. I caught somebody in a lie yesterday on Twitter. I said, somebody said their hospital refused to treat them for a, something was wrong with their eye or something. They said their hospital refused to treat them because they were unvaccinated. and I typed that smells like bullshit and he says yeah don't accuse me in making this up this actually happened I said what hospital he said um I called the hospital and I almost recorded it for the show but I decided really oh my God it's great yeah and they said no we let anyone in there's no such thing as stopping people because of refusing people who are unvaccinated yeah he just made it up to stir up shit denial denials exactly oh you should have recorded for the show I know

I didn't. I don't know what I was thinking. It was perfect content. I should have done it. I've deleted most of the tweets because after I got done, I'm like, I'm not dealing with this guy. But he's a liar. It's a freaking liar. Why you do that? Why you get online and just say a lie for no reason other than to stir everybody up? It's too easy to prove. You predicted it many years ago, Scott, when you said, the guy on Twitter line. Yeah, I did. I had to be under anesthesia to do it, but I did it. Very prescient, yes. Yeah. By the way, is the anti-vax sperm just called Giz Zero?

Oh, I like it. I like it a lot. It's got no sugar either. It's good, too. Gross. We're going to take a break when we come back. No, we're not. We're not.

This is a habit. The news is a habit. It's all a habit here. Should we play that song again? I really like it. Instead, we're just going to add Randy to the call. And I say Randy because Nicole had an appointment and she is out today. But Randy will be here.

We got three recommendations for you from our streaming services of choice. So sit back and relax while I play this. Well, what do you recommend? Yes, that's right. Time for recommendals where we talk about stuff we've read. Red scene via streaming services. Maybe, I don't know if you're a subtitled guy. It's fine.

Well, I am a subtitle guy. And joining us today, Randy Jordan. Hi, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. How you doing? I'm great. Thanks for asking. It is a beautiful morning here.

I am so glad I'm not allergic to potatoes. My grocery store had 10 pounds for $2. $0.50 for 10 pounds of potatoes. So of course, they're practically handing it. They're practically paying you to take potatoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll slip them into your pockets. And so I came home with 10 pounds of potatoes. That means I've been eating a lot of potatoes. And I'm very happy about that. Nothing wrong with that. Mash them, fry them, put them in a stew. I've been just chopping them up and roasting them in the oven with a little avocado oil and your spice mix of choice, right? So every time I'm like making a completely different meal.

Because you just changed the spices. Yeah, but for the record, I got your Samwise Gamgey reference there. Oh, I know. A lot of people, I'm sure, did as well. Potatoos. He just moved right past it. I saw the coolest thing yesterday. There was a picture of Samwise Gamgee, aka, what's his name?

Sean Ashton. So in Return of the King, when he comes back to the Shire, there's a little baby there. He has a kid. Right. And he holds the baby. and his wife his wife Hobbit lady is there and then i by the way yeah and then i heard later that this is his real daughter and his real wife and i thought oh that's adorable well yesterday puts up a photo of them from the movie all hanging out

and then a shot of her graduating college like the other day and those two standing next wow isn't that cool i had no idea that that was his actual his actual kids and his wife and his wife yeah yeah just one daughter but yeah his wife and it's as many you see it you'll recognize her. Oh my gosh. That was totally her in the movie. Anyway. Oh, that's so cool. It was a nice, nice little moment there. You know, I'm a Lord of the Rings geek. And as, as such, I have to have a complaint, right, about those movies. Like every, every Lord of the Rings geek has something that they miss. Here it comes. Yeah, here we go. Give it to us. For me, for me, the only thing that I'm disappointed by in the entirety of those movies is the first time I'm watching through when they

kill Saramon really early. Because I'm like, I'm expecting the movies to, with the scouring of the shire, which is like a really important thing. It's like a very dramatic thing. And, you know, they come back to the shire and they found that Saramon has corrupted it, right? Right. And then they,

and then the hobbits kill Saramon. And so having him die in the two towers just, it shocked me the first time I saw it. The good news is it's still four hours into the, into the ordeal, you know? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It's still quite a ways. Close to six hours into the ordeal, really. I mean, those movies, those extended editions absolutely absolutely they're so long so you do get a long time with saruman but you're right i think you know what i think peter jackson is probably like he's probably talked about it but he's probably like man i can't have a bunch of hobbits kill a wizard that's weird it's well and he also came up with a gruesome death for sarah but sarban falls onto like a spike of a wheel that then turns and you slowly see his impaled body yeah awesome wow that is kind of awesome yeah

And you want that kind of death, right, for a character like that, for sure. You want a good fitting death. You do. Well, there you go. Our Lord of the Rings catch-up moment we've had. Now we can talk about streaming stuff. Brian, let's start with your clip. What do you got here for a setup?

I don't even know if I need to give any setup because we might have already done it. Oh, all right. Excellent. Here you go. We thought our light would never dim. So when the great foe, Morgoth, destroyed the very light of our home, we resisted. And a legion of elves went to war.

We left Valinor, our home, and journeyed to a distant realm. one filled with untold perils and strange creatures beyond cult a place known as middle earth well ironically that is that is the buddy cop gritty buddy cop series

it's been out for seven months did you just now yeah just now got to it and just now watched it binge the whole thing through after after my rewatch of Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit trilogy this is what I went to afterwards and I'm glad I did after that

because those kind of helped remind me of some of the ancillary characters, some of the settings and things from those movies that come into play in the Rings of Power. Here is one of the weird things like you go online especially if you go to Rotten Tomatoes, you

see palindromic reviews right. The critics give it 83%. Audience score is 38%. Whoa. And that is Like, one of the biggest disparations of numbers that I think I've ever seen on. Well, we've talked a lot about this, right? Whenever it's this difference, right, Scott, you always, you always like it when it's the critics. I like it when it's the critics, because I feel like critics, I like when the critics are higher.

I don't like it when the audience number is so much lower than the critics one because it tells me something's up. It tells me that I smell some poopy. I think they're over there like review bombing. They didn't like, there's a black Hobbit or something in this or something, and everyone was mad about it. That's exactly right. You just said exactly what the thing is. Yeah, I hate that. I can't stand it.

Like big freaking deal, who cares. Exactly. And I'm going to say, I am with the critics. I really enjoyed this. This is on Amazon Prime. And you do get some of the characters from Lord of the Rings, some of the people who are super old. Because this takes place thousands of years before Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. and so your only people

that are around there that are living that long are your elves and you get Galadriel kind of her origin story was that her narratings by the way that actress is that was her narrating

and her name as I had pulled this up you could do it Morpheth Clark Oh my morphith I like that Morpheth but spelled M-O-R-F-Y-D-D-D

Morphid Morphid Morphide Morphide Well the reason I ask is because she doesn't have the breathy slow take that Kate Blanchett does.

She gets that over time. And there's actually interviews with her where she is like aping on what Kate Blanchett did and trying to sound like that but trying to sound younger and faster and so on. Interesting. Yeah. Okay.

Well, how is it? You like you enjoying this? I really, I really enjoyed it. Eight episodes. They introduce characters that you think are going one way and they turn into like they go a completely different way.

You also get Elrond, who's played by, oh, I had his name up here in front of me. Let's see. Is it? Robert Armaio. Robert Armaio, who you know from Mind Hunter, he was one of the serial killers in the series. Oh, that's why it's familiar. Wow, this guy looks a lot like Neil Patrick Harris and Dugie Houser. It does.

It's like Duggy Houser, Neil Patrick Harris, and a little bit of Orlando Bloom all mush together. A little bit. Yeah, a little bit, and he's Elrond. You get some other characters, but I'm not going to spoil anything about, you know, characters that you get that are, that you later see. Like there's a whole subplot around Aaron Deer, and I, I always feel like he needs to be called out, because he's so good. He's great.

Is he, he's the elf that, he's not, because you also get Aragon's father, who you see in the introduction of Fellowship of the Ring with the, like, the whole story of killing Saron, cutting off his fingers, getting the ring, et cetera, and then getting killed by Saron. That's Ergon's dad, and you get his whole intro in this series. Interesting. He also, by the way, sorry, the same guy you were talking about playing young Elron. He was young Ned Stark in Game of Thrones as well when they had the flashbacks. There are quite a few people here after I've watched it that I found out we're also in Game

of Thrones, which I didn't realize while I was watching it, but boy, yeah, they certainly do they do borrow from that cast list that's interesting because like it feels like this was amazon's attempt to make their own you know have some prestige thing well to have a prestige show like game of thrones right like they they definitely will and and a lot of the critics say that this is amazon's attempt for a game of thrones to game of thronesify uh lord of the rings sure i i don't really see it i feel like they um they stick to what i loved about the movies i am one of those few people in the world who've never read any of tulking's books and i oh wow i should i know it's not a it is not a statistic that i'm proud of i'll just say that right now uh one that i

will change but um but i so so some of that hate might be oh you're totally steering away from the origin stories of some of these characters or who knows what Um, and maybe that is the case. I don't know, uh, but I'd love to see somebody. I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's inventing some, some stuff, right? Like Tolkien didn't write every possible thing. Oh, no. Right.

Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.

To me, it's like the. Characters that you never, you know, you may be only named and now they have a whole story. Because these are all similar similar, what's the thing called? The Silmarilian. The Simmeralian. That's things like more like a reference book and not a book. book book and so exactly it's kind of like the encyclopedia middle earthia it's also got huge huge long

poems and uh you know songs and so on um what interests me is is how a person like you brian who hasn't read the books could come along and watch rings of power and like it enough to recommend it but you're never you haven't even mentioned the brandy foots and the proud fellows and the burros and the fallen star like you haven't even mentioned to the fallen star his name is adar so far in this show. Right, exactly. Yeah, there's questions. We have questions about who he is.

I'd say that makes up like a third of all of these shows, and no one ever talks about that part of it. Well, that's because they're too worried about black people. But go ahead, Brian. Right, yes. No, it's true. Like the Brandy Foots, the Harfoots, great characters that introduced in this. And I was like, oh, they're hobbits, right?

No, apparently not. Not hobbits. But. Started out a little different. Connections, yes, exactly. Yeah, I really enjoy this. And if you're, you'll definitely love the music. It's composed by Bear McCrary, who I think has done no wrong.

Name something bad he's done. You can't actually do it. It's impossible. It can't do it. It is a impossibility. I think the special effects for a TV show for, you know, streaming series are movie level. They're fantastic. well done um yeah i enjoyed it enjoyed it tremendously does it feel totally consistent the sound

design like it's been it already you know it's it's a in it's second season it's set to win all the emies that'd be cool really i like that uh keryan hines guy got this was announced he's gonna be in it he's uh yes know him as mans raider from uh from game of thrones he was uh he was caesar and uh rome he's great that guy has just you could just be staring on screen and not saying anything, and his damn face is so compelling. So many Game of Thrones people. Basically, anything where people have non-American accents now is filled with Game of Thrones people.

Basically, well, let's get all the Game of Thrones people we can get. Oh, we can't get those two on Last of Us? Okay, get everybody else. Yeah. The Fallen Star here is played by Benjin Stark. Oh. Oh, really? I didn't know that was Benjian.

Uncle Benjian, you know. Uncle Benjian. Yeah, Uncle Benjamin. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, I need to watch it. Do you feel like I waited because Carter was gone out of the country when it happened and we promised we'd watch together and we just haven't done it? Did you, do you feel like it's tonally compatible with the Peter Jackson movies or does it even matter? Like, like, it is.

It's like, I mean, I don't want to keep comparing it to Game of Thrones, but it is kind of, it's the Peter Jackson films with a, little bit of gravy of Thrones. Okay. Gravy of Thrones. I like that. Gravy of Thrones. How's that? That's the chip. That's the chip flavor we forgot about today. It was the gravy of Thrones. Yeah. It feels it somehow feels like it was made before

the Peter Jackson films. I don't like that stuff. That's kind of the point, right? Like they're supposed to take place obviously before the Peter Jackson film. Yeah, but there's just something about it that feels a lot more raw to me. Like it's not as polished. Although there are times when you're looking at elves and like

as is too polished and shiny. But, like, in a lot, like, Galadriel gets tossed into the ocean, and then she's, like, swimming. And I'm thinking, gosh, this feels so like, like a rough cut, you know? Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. And there is a little bit of that, you know, one of the complaints and I kind of do, see, this is the teleportation that they introduced in the last season of Game of Thrones.

There's a little bit of that, but I don't have any complaint about it, especially when you're dealing with elves who, come on, they're alive for thousands of years. Can we maybe give them some sort of supernatural abilities, swimming abilities? Sure. We already know they can slide around on elephants and down stairwells on shields. Yeah, we know they're parkour experts. Give them something else.

I also didn't mention anything about the dwarves. I think the dwarf representation and acting in this is the characters that they have for the dwarves are fantastic. Duren. man just so I love the dwarves are underappreciated underrepresented so that's good to hear well if you love dwarves Scott you're going to love how these are portrayed

because they really they really go hard on what a dwarf acts like okay they do yeah it's a big dwarf lore that's good I love dwarf lore yeah anyway so it is Lord of Rings of Power on Amazon on prime watch the first season now and then get ready for next year's season two another eight

episodes coming in 24 all right it's time for scott to play a thing for the not squeamish out there all right oh god okay uh got into a horror movie it's been a couple of weeks because we missed one last there we didn't have wednesday show last week but this is uh what i watched and i'll explain on the other end it's like it wears people's faces like like masks okay do you see it Right now, here? What happens when you do see it? It's smiling at me. But not a friendly smile.

It's the worst smile I've ever seen in my life. And whenever I see it, I just get this god-awful feeling like something really terrible is going to happen. I've never felt scared like I do when I see. Laura, have you or anyone else in your family ever experienced hallucination? It's not an hallucination. No, it's real. don't get it. It does things to me.

It causes shit to happen around me. It's taken over my whole life and my mind. It tells me things. It told me that today, today's the day that I'm going to... That's okay. That's okay. We should see what happens right after this dialogue. Oh, God. Yeah, I'm sure. The movie is Smile.

And it is one of many excellent horror movies of 2022. I will die on the hill that says that 2022 is one of the greatest years for horror movies ever in the history of horror movies. And there's so many I've liked this year or this last year. But smile came to me as a little bit of a surprise. When I saw the trailer and I'd heard about the premise, it just seemed like a lot of creepy people smiling. And obviously that means something's wrong with that. everybody and we're going to have to figure it out over an hour and a half or whatever, but it just, it felt gimmicky and I wasn't sure what to think. I finally watched it. Oh, shoot, where did I watch

it? Let's see. I saw this on Prime, Amazon Prime as well. Okay. And it was really good and really disconcerting. And you could kind of hear it in that. The soundtrack, if you want to call it that, is this weird discordant thing. Yeah, very atonal. Oh, yeah, big time. Yeah, like tune that and instrument a little bit. Yeah, and it's, and it really goes places and makes you feel things. The music does a lot of heavy lifting, but the, the, the movie is, is quite excellent. Basically, you know, the IMDB description is, is short and also spoiler-free. After witnessing a bizarre traumatic incident involving a patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced that she's being threatened by an uncanny entity. And that's probably good enough to leave there story-wise. It's really creepy.

and has moments of like, I don't know, I was reminded a little bit of hereditary, that the tone of hereditary and the tone of like, which is heavy stuff. Yeah, really heavy stuff. The movie itself isn't like overly gory or anything. It's not that kind of horror movie. It's more just, oh my gosh, what is she doing?

Why are we this way? What is happening in this room? A lot of dark figures just out of view in the dark, perfect moments, perfectly accentuated by tension and music. And it's just extremely well done. Big nod to Socy Bacon. Oh, my gosh. Yes.

Kira Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon's daughter is in her 30s. Yeah, she's in her 30s because they're old. She's the younger of their children. She's in her 30s now. And she's great in this. She's very good. She looks more like her mom than her dad, which I think is interesting.

She's pronounced a soci. She is too. She is in a lot of stuff lately. No, she's very, very good. She had a big role in Mare of East Town. Yep, yep, she's great. Did you see, did either of you see, well, both of you saw Deadwood. Of course, you've seen Deadwood.

Yes. Oh, yeah. The actress Robin Weigart in Deadwood, who played Calamity Jane. That's an amazing character. Oh, she's great. Yeah, and she's in a lot of stuff, too, that, like, she always pops up in places, and you're like, oh, that's Calamity Jane without the weird hair. Yeah, and you have to really think about it, because she's,

She doesn't, that Calamity Jane character is unlike anything she else she's ever done. So it's always like, I know this is familiar. Who is this? And I always have to look her up. She's very good. She's a lot like Margo Martindale in that way. Yes. Where like you see her and like, oh, I know her.

What do I know her from? Yeah, absolutely. And the answer is always season two of Fargo. But anyway, Caitlin Stacey plays the woman that was freaked out in that clip I played. She's not there very long, but she's incredible in it. And Cal Penn plays a character that surprised me. Didn't expect. By the way, I'm ready to vote on the next daily show host, and I would like it to be Cal Penn.

You want Cal Penn to do it? I don't know. I saw part of his. It was all right. I don't know if it didn't blow my mind. I think he's the best so far in these tryouts. And already I'm ready to, I'm ready for them to get rid of Al Franken. Al Franken is not right for this.

Oh, I didn't know Al Franken even did it. Yeah, I didn't know he was doing that either. He's doing it this week right now. Oh, got you. Okay. Well, give me, give him a chance. Let's see how he pans out. this isn't really tryouts though is it and it kind of is yeah that every almost every person that's guest

hosted has said i really want this job oh weird oh really did not know that well anyway uh it's called smile it's really good this parker fin guy someone to keep an eye on he wrote and directed it and um if you like horror movies and you like really unsettling concepts i think smile might be your jam and it also does a really good job i love a horror movie that is not afraid to end in a way that isn't happy. Oh, yeah, okay. I like that. I respect it because it's hard.

I think we as an audience, if you test us especially, we all think, oh, no, I want her to live, or I want him to make it, or I want the one guy of the seven campers to get out of their life. And there is something to it

and it's fine that it exists, but once in a while, I like it when a horror movie subverts those expectations and F's with your brain and leaves you going, oh, man, really? Not a spoiler.

Ends horribly. not a spoiler now let's talk about the end of which project experiment yeah that there you go that's a good example so is a lot of found footage ones do but the movie quarantine is a great example of this the ending of somebody brought up like that's a great example of worst worst ending you can think of absolutely and i love it for it right do really like it when somebody survives and they're like the sun is coming up and they're covered in blood and they're carrying a broken axe and they're walking away and they've made it it's a there's nothing wrong with that that's an okay thing that's an okay thing thing but once in a while i i like to have my expectations pummeled and if it's done if it's done correctly i i respect it anyway smiles awesome uh it's not for people who don't like horror movies okay so don't get in if you don't if you're that person stay away from this yeah but if you like this sort of thing good deal and it's got a bacon in it one degree of separation from kevin bacon yeah oh look at that yeah like not even one like a half a degree that's right uh let's get to randy's recommendation randy you have a set up for what you got here? I needed some comfort food this week. And so I rewatched something

that came out about seven years ago. It's a little fun series. It's on HBO. And it's about a man who is young and getting a divorce. And he's basically finding his life is hitting rock bottom. And he wants to be a stand-up comedian. And he's in the middle of the night having a slice of pizza with a pretty famous stand-up comedian and play the clip. All right, here we go. Then we went to Christian College. Of course. Everybody pairs off when you graduate.

Really? It's just what you do. I've literally never done anything without her. She found her apartment. She supports me. She supports you. You mean emotionally. No money. She supports you financially? Your wife? Yeah. That's the stupidest

fucking thing I've ever heard. It's like a wife supporting a guy in medical school. How is it like? That's like, at the end of medical school, you're a doctor. You started about 900 grand a year. At the end of this, I'll be a comedian. I don't have been trained. Maybe, there's no guarantee.

What do you mean? You did it. That's the dream. You talk, you think of something. I'm your dream. You're my dream. Are you kidding me? You're dreaming of this.

You're Artie Lang. Right, exactly. You said that like I was Jessica left. This is crashing. And if you haven't seen it, guys, please watch this show. It's so nice and fun. And it is a little bit wicked and stressful at times. But it's, you have to like, like Schitt's Creek, you have to like start at the bottom of these people and work your way out. And this is a Pete Holmes show. Pete Holmes created it and he stars in it as a young comedian who is working his way up from doing open mics.

and, you know, his wife initially dumps him for the worst person you could ever imagine having your wife go to. And it's, it's funny. It's just funny. Is it, is it Hardy Link? Because that seems like to me would be the worst person now. It's way worse. Even worse than that. Every little thing in this show is so thoroughly thought through. He starts out married to Lauren Lapkis. Oh my gosh. I love her so much. I knew too. And if you ever wanted to see her naked, oh,

geez, all right. Hello. I never did. It is a very R-rated show. Yeah. It's called crashing as a triple entendre. It's about him basically crashing on people's couches because,

you know, he no longer has a wife and a home. And so almost every episode, he is with, he is crashing on R.D. Lange's couch, then T.J. Miller's couch. than Sarah Silverman's couch and so on and so on. When you first posted that this was going to be a recommendal, I got really excited because

I was realizing, oh my God, I never recommended that awesome Phoebe Waller Bridge British comedy series that sadly never got a second season. So no, I guess I need to watch this one because I was excited. Like you said, oh, yeah, comedy for about seven years ago. Oh, yeah, that was about seven years ago. Yay. Oh, no, it's this one. Oh, no.

I've never seen this one. Wow. Well, it's, this is on, this is on, this was an HBO production, so it's presumably going to remain on HBO Max. Oh, we could both. Yeah. And the thing is, the thing is, it's Pete Holmes at as Pete Holmes. And he's really good at this. Like, he plays him, literally plays himself, right?

Like, he is the character. It's, it is not autobiographical, but it feels like it. It's like Seinfeld. He's called Jerry Seinfeld, and he is called Pete Holmes in this show, but it's not about either of them in real life it's just yeah kind of kind of and and by the way this isn't that different than fleabag I mean this this has some stuff in common you know with fleabag but I mean they all they all do anytime you have a character study about a funny you know individual you know like this is this is what you get um it just I just find it

comfort food it's it's like every episode there's a different like famous comedian that he's trying to like learn something from and he's slowly making his way up from you know like I say the bottom of bottoms uh-huh it's just really funny that's cool and Pete Holmes like I say he's never going to be the greatest comedian in the world you're never going to meet people who know Pete Holmes like he's very like middle you know yeah yeah but this is perfect for him it's like it's exactly what it needs to be well you had me at Laura Lampkus Lampkis Lampus Ler Lauren Lapkis is so funny all the time. We've mentioned Zach Cherry before.

He's from Severance. He is one of the, all of these like comedians that you didn't really know were stand-up comedians keep popping into the show. Because like Pete Holmes will go into a comedy club and sit with some comedians. And you're like, oh, that's that woman who does that voice on the Great North. you know it's like that oh dylan from succession okay he's great way that that woman from uh that does that voice on the great north is a parna non charla and she is so freaking funny it's just like it goes on and on and on so i know i know i know brian mentioned this uh the u k thing but is it like a straight up straight across like redo not even a little bit no the crashing the uk crashing is

about a bunch of a medical or about a bunch of squatters who crash in an old hospital. Oh, that's a totally different concept. Totally different. Like, like, you know, also the double entendre of crashing

because they're all crashing in their life. But very fleabag, funny. So this is just like the word, ironically, it's like the movie name crash. There's like four different movies called crash. They have nothing to do with each other. Nothing to do with each other. This is actually, this series is older than the UK series.

And the, God, I thought the UK one was older. And the reason I started watching this is because Pete Holmes was on night court. Pete Holmes, Pete Holmes appears as Abby Stone's boyfriend, fiance, whatever. And he's a, he's a character that's been mentioned in every episode up until the most recent one. And finally, we get to see it. And it's Pete Holmes. And it's like, he's just so, I don't know, there's something about him that's unique. And it just, like, really got me.

wanting to rewatch crashing for the record crashing UK one year earlier than this so they're pretty much kind of parallel almost almost the exact same time so this is this one is slightly older but or newer I should say newer yeah um here's the deal you you can't go wrong search for crashing watch everything that comes up streaming wise and you can't go wrong yeah there you go the episodes where Pete Holmes is crashing on Sarah Silverman's couch which she does not want are are just classic. Seriously. Yeah.

Please watch. Well, there you have it. That looks great. I would like to see it and meant to anyway. I like Pete Holmes. I like Pete Holmes in TV shows and stuff like that. I don't love his stand-up. I don't know why.

I tried to watch a whole stand-up from him and it just kind of bugged me. I don't know why. This show will make you like his stand-up because he's playing himself as a really bad comic. Okay. And like, so the jokes that he tries to tell on the, the show are so bad that when you go and watch his actual professional stand-up, you're going to go, oh, that's really funny. Seriously, trust me.

All right. Do this. I'm trusting. Watch crashing and then go see him on Conan or something. Okay. And he's so much funnier than his character. What's that thing he did where he played Professor X and he would like interview potential new X men and he would kick him out because they sucked or whatever?

Like he didn't like Scott Summers because he, you know, he's like, well, you're going to take your glasses off and fry one of us by accident or whatever. I don't know what this is from. I don't know what that is, but that's kind of funny. There's some series of these, and I've only seen clips of it here and there, like a TikTok will show up once in a while, and I don't know what it is. But it's funny as hell. It's really good. And the bloopers of it are even better.

And I don't know what it is. Someone in the chat will fill us in. I don't know what it is. Yeah, for sure. It was a college humor series. Is that what it was? Okay. That would make sense.

Sure. Okay. So a YouTube thing, a college humor thing. Okay. Well, anyway, it's very funny if you ever get a chance to see it. All right. well there you have it those are our three Brian's put those up on QuickTMS.L.I.

They're already there. They're there and ready for you to click on and enjoy. That's right. Randy Jordan, aka Randy Jordan. Always a pleasure. Guys, get ready for Film Sack this week. Oh, yeah. We're watching Goldfinger. Oh, the finger.

I love it. I just get your Shirley Bassi. I feel like we're on such a run. Like with movies like Walking Tall and breakdown, I just feel like I'm loving these movies. Yeah, they've been great. Breakdown with such a great surprise. It was my first view, and I loved it. So if you missed that episode last week, check it out. This week, it'll be Goldfinger. That'll be this weekend. Bye, Randy.

Well, we did it, Brian. We completed another loop around the deal, you know? Lasted one more show. They never thought it could be done. We'd never see 2440, but we saw it, and we, we conquered it. Take that, naysayers. Yeah. A quick shout out. We have a person in our chat and in our community. called Stephen Forrester, and his wife just had big-time hardcore back surgery. I believe it was back. And she did well and is recovering, but just want to wish them the best while you're going through your convalescence there.

Nobody wants surgeries of any sort. No kidding. You know? The only kind that you really want are the ones where people are like, I need to put a big, two horns on my head and put some funky ribs on my back or whatever. I would argue you don't want those. You might think you want those for a brief second. but you don't want those either.

No. You don't want those. How many 70-year-olds do you see walking around with fake horns in their head? None is the answer. I worry about the 70-year-olds who are going to have

these long, droopy earlobes. Those are going to go all the way down, dude. I'm going to start 3D printing little earlobe holders for people who take out their gauges and just want a little compact thing to roll up their earlobes and put them in.

Yeah, because you're going to need to at some point. Either that or cut them out and then you're going to look even weirder. So anyway, good luck to you. on that but uh stephen and we hope uh hope you and your wife are doing well especially her uh during your time um brian let's get out of here a quick note uh the patron folks if you are out there listening you already know how much we appreciate you and we love making content for you if you want all the extra content they get then sign up today at patreon.com slash tms i think i'm going to do a

Nobody wants Brian's pinky in their airhole. Nobody wants it. Yeah, no, no, I'm kidding. All right, let's get to a request. I promised you something more uplifting than our last request and by golly, I'm going to deliver today. James Hartman wrote in and said, hey, Sam and Bilbo, I turned 43 this year. Hmm, congratulations. Let's party.

nice sometimes i wish i could go back in time and relive the good old days back through the good old days but i have it pretty good life kids job i wouldn't change a thing i think this song is a cool tribute to the past the present and the future whatever it may hold love the show though james nice well thanks yeah yeah uh this song will will harken you back to a a trilogy that may forever remain as a trilogy uh and i'm talking about you back to the future. How about a song by I Fight Dragons covering the great bard Huey Lewis and a song called The Power of Love? The Great Bard. I think he is. I love him. So I will not argue with that classification. I think that's great. He told us. He let us know that it was totally

hip to be square. Yeah, that guy. That song's better than people think it is. I like that song. It is. Anyway, here it is. Thanks for that. Be back tomorrow with a brand new episode of a Thursday edition of the show. Wendy should be here, I believe. Yeah, she's on and Amy. So, you know, look forward to our special guests and our usual bunch of bull crap. It'll be tomorrow on TMS. That'll be it for us today, though. We'll see you then.

Oh, who, who, who, who, who, who, uh. Our love is a curious thing. Make a one man weep. Make another man sing Change in a heart to a little white dove More than a feeling That's the power of love Tougher than diamonds

Rich like cream Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream Make a bad one good Make a wrong one bright Power love will keep you home at night Don't take money Don't take faith Don't need no credit card to ride this train

It's strong and it's sad And it's cruel sometimes But it might just save your life That's the power of love First time you feel it it might make you sad And the next time you feel it it might make you mad But you'll be glad, baby, when you found That's the power makes the world go round

Don't take money, don't take pain Don't need no printer card to ride this train It's strong and it's sad And it's cruel sometimes But it might just say your life They say that all in love is fair Oh, but you don't care

You'll know what to do When it gets hold of you With a little hair from above You'll feel the power of love Don't take money Don't need no better God to ride this train It's tougher than diamonds Stronger than steel

You won't feel nothing until you fear Feel the power That's the power of love That's the power You feel the power in love You feel the power in love That's the power of love You feel the power of love

And it might just say your life That's the power of love If you like what you just heard, there's a very good chance you will like all the shows on the FrogPants Network. Get more at FrogPants.com. Oh, how do you do?
