We all know that Canadians like to pretend they're further north than Americans are, but they're really not, and I'm going to prove it to you.
Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that what I desire.
The Morning Stream.
our Italian loavers out of my bedpans.
Good morning, everyone.
Welcome back to TMS.
It's the morning stream for Wednesday, April 5th, 2020, 3, 2022.3.
22.3.
Jeez, I'm what a week into April and I just about went back here?
Falling back.
What the frick.
It must be all this snow.
It's throwing me off.
We got another like, I don't know, seven or eight inches overnight.
Did you really? Oh my God. We had a dusting overnight, but, you know, nothing. Like the streets are, the streets are shiny but not icy.
Yeah. Just wet. And we're supposed to get into the 40s today, 60s tomorrow and high 70s or mid 70s by the weekend.
See, that's what's crazy is we're supposed to be 70s by Sunday or next Sunday, this coming Sunday. And that's insane. Because right now you go outside and it looks like the dead of winter, snow packed everywhere, giant piles of it. And you're like, is this going to?
Is this really going to melt in a week?
It's Rocky Mountain States, ladies and gentlemen.
That's how it happens.
It is.
So I'm looking forward to that, although that looks like we're going to have some,
we're going to have flooding.
It's just going to happen.
I'm not.
I'm high up here.
You're high?
Yeah, I'm totally high right now.
I'm doing the show high.
But also, we're located at a high point.
And the people down at the bottom of the base and I worry about.
So hopefully they've got a plan.
I don't know what the plan is.
Maybe they're going to do sandbag rivers and
things.
I don't know.
See, that's a scary thing.
That's a really scary thing.
Yeah, we'll find out soon enough.
Especially with what you've seen in getting fished out of those rivers.
Oh, yeah, hell yeah.
Dead body.
That's right.
That was that year.
Yeah.
That was the year I saw a dead body.
I saw a dead body.
That was a gnarly time.
Anyway, hey, we're back, everybody.
Mine I recommend joining our Patreon or at the very least get into the stream early
because Brian just regaled his wonderful experience over at the muse concert last night.
And, man, it looked awesome.
You should put some of that video up on Twitter or something.
I'm putting Twitter.
That old dinosaur.
That old dogeosaur.
No, I'm throwing those videos in our Discord in the TMS chatter channel.
So all three of those videos, you can, you have to download them.
You can't view them because they're big.
So you've got to download them and watch them on your own device.
right. They are big. They're HDR. Their, uh, their widescreen 4K. That's right. Yeah. Brian's not
messing around. 3D. 3D. Yeah, all the things. It's all there. Everything. Everything. I got to share
something that blew my mind before we get into Babbel Royale today. Um, okay. This is a text I got,
we got from Ender Panda. And I don't know why this hit me so hard, but it did. So I'm going to read it.
By the way, he sent this to 801-4710462. And he says, hello, Scott, catching him on T-N.
MS and heard you mention supernatural stuff again.
One of the things I found interesting is that we don't have ghost insurance.
Insurance companies pour millions, if not billions of dollars, it's more like billions,
into ascertaining the exact nature of our world and reality.
If ghosts exist, then you can damn well be sure that insurance companies know about them,
and you'd have contingencies for, say, swerving on the road because a ghost suddenly appeared in front of your car.
I think you can reasonably conclude a lot of things, or a lot of different things, just based on this simple idea.
Do insurance companies think something exist?
If they don't, then it probably doesn't.
It says Enderpana.
It's a really good point.
Like, think about it.
All the risks are calculated and they make us pay for it.
It's like your car, your earthquake insurance, all these things that are unpredictable are out there, but they don't have ghost or possession.
insurance or any of that?
Let me, allow me to bring out my big butt, Scott.
Do it.
But there's no way of proving that you swerved to your car because of a ghost.
So the insurance wouldn't have to pay anything ever.
They could bill the gullible people who buy ghost insurance.
I'm actually surprised that there isn't ghost insurance because it feels like a money,
like a cash machine for insurance companies.
Well, you'd have to, you're right, you'd have, you do have that aspect to it, but I think there is something to the idea that they can only get away with stuff that is provable.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, they say, okay, well.
So in other words, even though you couldn't prove the existence, even though you couldn't prove that you swerve because of the existence, they won't offer insurance because there's no way to prove that ghosts exist.
Yeah, they can't prove that ghosts exist.
And neither can we, obviously, because we can't prove it.
just say, well, yeah, I swear because of a ghost.
Like, right now, probably somebody somewhere and sometime has probably used that as an excuse.
Like, how did you wreck your car?
Oh, I was trying to avoid a, there were a group of ghosts crossing the street.
And there wasn't a ghost crossing sign.
No, yeah.
So I think there's something to this, this idea of like, they would figure out a way to monetize
it if it existed.
They would.
Because they do everything.
Now, over another, other countries are like, what are you guys talking about?
Dude, trust me, in America, if there's a way to,
do an insurance policy on something yeah that's the business we do it i mean because it they would
do it if they could do it if they if they could get away with it and so it's probably not necessarily
the insurance company saying oh we won't do this it's probably somebody there suggested and they
said oh yeah let's look into that and they said no we legally can't do this because we can't prove
that the thing we're insuring against exists yeah now there may be some organization somewhere
that isn't like a mainstream insurance company that offers ghost insurance that you can buy.
Yeah, like haunting insurance on your house or some BS.
But let me tell you what that is.
That's a racket is what that is.
Oh, yeah.
You think regular insurance is a racket.
Ghost insurance.
Yeah.
Extra rackety.
Listen, if you've spent money on ghost insurance, I have two simple words for you, a quote from the Amityville Ahar about your haunted house insurance.
Get out.
Get Out.
Was that from Amityville Horror?
Yeah, the house said, get out.
You know why I know you know that?
Because it scared the poop out of me as a little kid.
Yeah, because that's the one movie that Brian always mentions is the one movie that really got him as a kid.
Really freaked out.
I scared the living day lights out of me sitting in my mom's Carme Gia, watching that on the drive-in movie theater screen at the Sloan's Lake Twin Drive-in on Sheridan Boulevard.
Yeah, man, look, it's all burned in.
I only have three memories of that movie.
Here are my three memories.
There was a toilet overflowing with something.
like oil or something
some kind of black ooze
coming out of a toilet
I don't know what the deal was
and then
Texas tea I think they called it
Is that Texas tea sweet?
Texas tea
Well I'm getting out of the south
and moving to Bel Air now
Anyway then the other one was
Flies
There were a lot of flies
Yeah
And I remember
Lightning would flash
And the house
The two windows that are famous
You know the shape of that weird house
It looked like eyes
That's all I remember
I have no other memory of that movie, except those three things.
Yeah, mine is the eyes at the window, that freaking red room in the bottom of the, like in the cellar, and then the get-out voice.
Well, we should film sack it, so you can...
We have.
Oh, have we done that movie?
Yeah, we totally have.
I don't remember doing it.
Did we really do it?
Dang it.
I don't remember that at all.
I'm pretty sure we did.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
See, this happens, though.
We think we've seen a thing.
We totally do.
And the longer we go with film.
sack two things happen uh that we get a bigger library of movies that it's you know harder to
remember what we've done what we haven't done the other thing that happens is we get old and our memory
starts to fade yeah you're absolutely right it was uh 2014 uh episode 195 go go seek it out
i guess you dealt with your trauma then i don't i just don't remember i did i'm all good now
all right i'm good and happy and healthy and um you think we should do any of the sequels or we
leave all that alone oh we certainly could yeah i don't know if i'm sure there's
worse than the, and that movie
was pretty bad. Yeah, I wasn't actually good.
The sequels are worse as far as production
value. It wasn't never a very
good movie. It was just kind of, uh, there
was something in the news about that house recently.
I should have put it on the show and I don't remember what it was,
but something's getting auctioned again
or got sold
or someone died in it or something weird.
I don't know what it is. Someone
could find it. Anyway. Yeah, I'll buy
that house. You know, I'm not, I don't believe in the
supernatural, but I still wouldn't buy that stupid
house. I don't know why. I wouldn't either,
dude, I get you. I feel you. I don't believe in it either, but I don't want that house.
You know, here's what I'd do. If they offered it and said, all right, you can have it for $100.
Great. I buy for $100 and turn it into the scariest Airbnb you could possibly stay.
You would make so much money.
I would make tons of money and I would charge ghost insurance. Like, I'd offer that as a thing.
If you're staying in the Amityville B&B, bitty's ghost insurance available as an add-on to your Airbnb.
Yeah, don't use the toilet. Don't mind the flies.
There's a few things you'd have to just, you know, let people know about.
The red room.
Don't go in the red room.
Oh, no.
That's where, like, if you're really adventurous, stay in the red room.
We've got a bad and a TV set up in there.
But the Wi-Fi doesn't make it.
No, they would say.
That's funny.
Freibboy Bright Reminds this, by the way, that Nick of Time is streaming.
I don't know what Nick of Time is.
Do I know what that is?
Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken and part of the movie is done in real time.
So it's an assent.
I want you to assassinate the president.
I don't remember that at all.
I don't think I've seen it.
And the last half of the movie is done in real time.
Okay.
Yeah.
That'd be worth watching.
Yeah.
Randy, I'm sure, is listening.
Yeah, he might be.
Well, he's on vacation.
I don't know if he's listening.
Oh, that's right.
He's definitely not listening.
Yeah.
He's out of town.
He's enjoying some smothered with Christmas in New Mexico right now.
That's right.
I think a lot of Blizzard folks, even not on the Diablo team.
He's not technically on that team.
But I think a lot of them are getting vacation in now because things are going to get nuts in June.
And everyone's going to be all hands on deck kind of thing.
So I think it's probably good for him to get out now.
We still are doing recommendals today.
Nicole will be with us.
So watch for that later in today's show.
We're going to do Babel Royale right now, though.
And that requires a done-a-way to join us.
And if I had this ready, I would.
There it is.
Okay.
we're adding him here he comes as he enters the room let us all be kind and respectful
of his wishes and his strange needs uh i'm killing time while i went for him to answer
here he comes don't look him in the eye when you approach him yeah don't do that don't offer him
don't speak to him unless he speaks to you first yeah never give him food ever all right and
don't get him don't get him wet all right that's the main thing don't get him wet yep
Our own personal mug why. It's Brian Dunaway joining us from South Carolina. Hello, Brian. Oh, oh, hi, Brian. It's God. Oh, mug why. I thought it was a mogwai. Is it Mogw? It's a mug. Yeah. Oh, Mogu. Okay. I never did that. M-O-G-W-A-I, not M-O-G-Y. I think I always... I just felt like I didn't have to spell the second half of the word. And if you ever see Grimlins at Taco Bell after closing time, you know you're in trouble. Oh, shit. Yep. Yeah. Why Taco Bell?
What's the reference there?
That's the late night place you go.
That's the place you go when you're drunk.
If you're local to my area, it's like the huddle house.
Oh, the huddle house.
Oh, my gosh.
Do they go, hey, they run and jump in the toilet.
It's terrible.
Don't do it.
You know what's funny is my wife, not my wife.
I say my wife.
I can't wait to see what the correction is to who you called your wife.
I was going to say, what was I going to say? Oh, I was going to say, this is terrible.
I was going to say John Jagger, not my wife, my co-host on Corr, core wife, just one of my, I'm a polygamist on that show. I have two wives on that show.
Anyway, he was, he has a Denny's in Arizona. He says it's called the gay Denny's.
And I said, well, what's this about? And he said, is it the happy Denny's? Okay.
No, it's this place where it's unofficially just the place where all the local, the local gays, that's a terrible way.
I'm saying. Right, right. They all like to go there and congregate. It's like a really friendly franchise to their, to them. And they just go and hang out all night. And it's just where you go if you're gay and you want Denny's. That's what I don't understand. I don't understand anybody. That was our gay. That was our gay. Really? You had a gay big boy? It's gone now. Yeah, but there was a gay big boy.
Oh, that's great. That's great. Hey, look, I don't understand any place of business that doesn't go, I don't want money. Give me money.
I'm like, if I'm your place, come on.
It wasn't that other Denny's return them away.
It was just that this place just kind of, you know how a place just naturally, organically becomes the place that you go?
Like as kids, we went to this Hardee's.
We don't have Hardee's anymore.
It's all Carl's Jr.
I know you guys still have them down there.
But this before they were Carl's Jr., these Hardys in high school, that's where we went.
And it was the one we went to and it was packed with kids from my high school.
No other Hardee's got that business, just this one.
And it wasn't proximity or anything.
We just picked it and it organically became.
We went to the BK Lounge.
Yeah.
Oh, the BK Lounge.
Yeah.
We had a village inn that we affectionately termed the village end of the damned.
Oh, nice.
Because we went there once.
I received a hamburger and fries on a plate that was somehow swimming in water.
Nice.
Like a quarter of water on the plate.
Gross.
Gross.
Are you a brazer in my burger while it's in the bun?
What are you doing here with this?
That sounds horrible.
Why is there water on the plate?
But the real, the initial thing, the thing that should have been the dead giveaway is when the guy came to our table to take our order,
he fished around for what seemed like minutes in the front of his apron pocket, dangerously close to his crotch looking for a pen.
Great.
And it felt like minutes.
Like we could have walked up to the front counter, got a pen and brought it back.
That's definitely not it.
Oh, I'll save it that for later.
Ugh. Gross. I don't want to go there. The minute I'd see water on a plate full of fries, I'm out of there, man. That's disgusting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, that'd probably come out of the dishwasher, right? It didn't, and never let it dry off. It's like, maybe or maybe, like, as they were bringing it over, a glass of water was on the tray with it and it spilled or something. I don't know. It was just horrible.
Love it. Village of the Dam. We love calling it Village in of the Dam. It's amazing. That's great. Perfect.
Well, good news, everybody. We already have a listener who's number four, and I'm going to pull him in.
Okay. I say him because I know it to him.
It's, uh, actually, who is it? Oh, sorry. It's I am sci-fi. Oh, my gosh, Ian. Didn't we have him last time and then we couldn't get him or something? And then we picked somebody else because he couldn't pick up.
He might be right. He might be right. There's something weird going on there. Oh, right. He had some weird phone issue. Yeah. Well, let's see if he has it this week. If he doesn't get in, I'll take the next closest. Uh, we're ringing him. We're ringing him. He's not answering. He's not answering. Ding. Ding. Okay.
That's no good.
Okay.
Well,
Here's the thing, folks.
If you do your darned as to become caller number four, maybe stay near your phone.
Yeah.
I think he's just, for some reason, some weird issue.
I'll talk to him later, but you know what?
Next in line is Dreadnecks.
Let's see if he can be added.
Dreadnecks coming in hot.
Let's see if he answers.
He's not answering either.
Maybe it's, oh, no, he is answering.
Here he comes.
Oh, he's giving us video.
It's dreadnecks.
Dreadnecks, welcome to the show.
How are you?
Good morning.
How are you?
Good.
We're going to see you in a few weeks, aren't we?
Yes, you certainly will.
Oh, no way.
Somehow you ended up as Claire's bodyguard.
Is that what I heard?
Is that the deal?
Well, I'm taking her around to all the best vegan places because she doesn't eat meat.
So while you're at Bacon Nation, we'll be chowing down on a veggie burger or something.
Might I recommend you avoid the heart attack grill?
Yeah, don't go there.
Do not go there.
Good recommendation.
They don't have a good vegan menu at the heart attack grill.
I don't think they even have a good menu at the heart attack grill, let alone vegan.
You're not wrong about that.
Well, Dreadnack, see, we're number 4.5 today, and congratulations on being here.
We're going to play a game.
Brian Ibbott's going to explain the rules.
What?
They make you pay up front at the heart attack grill.
No, you pay.
Oh, wait, do they?
No, you pay when your meal's done.
So it's really, they're taking the risk.
They really are.
It's a great idea, though.
You're all taking the risk.
But isn't that a great idea to pay.
Before is a joke is like, hey, you're at the heart attack bill.
It's a joke.
On the way in, they weigh you, and I think they do give you some sort of discount,
because there's that giant scale in front of the restaurant,
and if you stand on it, the more you weigh, the more discount you get off of your bills.
That is hilarious.
That's funny.
They want to encourage the close to death.
I am not getting on that scale.
No way.
Yeah, morbidly.
Anyway.
Hey, it's time to play the Tad Pooley feud, folks.
I've surveyed the Tadpool on some nerdy topics.
Scott and Brian are you have to predict the answers that they gave us,
and it's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess.
I am Dreadnecks.
Your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian.
And if your team wins, you'll get a prize package that includes ticket to ride and XCOM 2.
Woo!
Courtesy of David Acres.
Two stellar games right now.
Yeah, no kidding.
That's great.
Man, we have such nice donators that give us these codes.
I really do.
Yeah.
It's great.
And,
and, you know,
one's good for the family.
One's good for after everybody's gone to bed.
You can play some X-Com too.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
So, let's get to this.
By the way,
folks, keep your eyes open in the next week or so.
There will be a new Tad Pooley Feud survey.
Oh.
Because we're getting close to the end of the,
this question batch.
And so I have to have a whole bunch of new ones.
But the good news is you guys have all provided me with new questions to use.
So, really, you only have yourselves to blame.
All right.
Put your hands on your buzzers, gentlemen.
All right.
And a little, let's see, do I need to give you a little caveat?
All right.
You know, feel free to be broad in your answers and be specific.
And I'll tell you if you need to be more specific.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
I like it.
Okay.
All right.

ejector seat
ejector seat sure
whether it's for ejecting your own seat
or the one of your passengers
all right show me ejector seat
yeah
nice one that's good that's worth
what
you're worth four points
four points is number four answer on the board
yeah that's not bad
you're chipping away
chipping away chippy chip chips chips
uh how about we go with
uh all I can think of is that
he had like a
he's always got a cigarette lighter
but I don't know specific is what I'm thinking of
but lighter bomb
I don't know sure
lighter lighter lighter lighter yeah
gadget
okay all right
vibrators show me anything with a cigarette lighter
oh come on
yeah there were
I'm gonna go ahead and tell you that there were a couple
cigarette lighter things that people said
one was the bomb grenade number 28
and the other was the cigarette lighter
that is a tracking device that we just saw
in Goldfinger
and neither of those made the top ten so
I just left a man
Okay
Didn't he have like a shoe telephone
At some point
That feels like a pun
Yeah
Maybe you just say shoes
And see if that's
Actually I agree
I agree he has weird shoe shit
That's a good one
I think you might be thinking of what's his name
Be more specific
With the shoes
No
A shoe it could be a blade
it could be what else we got dreadnecks
it's not good brown I like phone
yeah shoe phone
I like that all right we'll do shoe phone
I feel like that might be get smart
but let's do it
daggum it Maxwell Smart I tried to pull you
show me
chief
missed it by that much
is that we're thinking of
is it from that and never never bond
yeah yes
yeah it's totally good smart
Maxwell smart yeah he's got the shoe phone
I always get those too confused.
Yeah, I mean, it was a parody of Bond anyway, right?
That whole idea.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah. Let's stick with the, that's how he actually ended this last, right?
By the way, though, to clarify,
several people in the Tadpool also said shoe phones.
So it was number 16 on the list.
So a lot of people thought get smart.
So don't feel bad.
Once again, does it have to be accurate?
Just has to be what the Tadpool says.
That's right.
How about, he does have some shoe stuff, though,
but it seems like he used like,
we just watched the one
and he had like the
it was the tracker inside of his shoe
but then he
now this is good because Brian
remember what Brian said he said
I need you to be more specific right
yeah so that tells me there's another
shoe thing on here that's smart
yeah yeah yeah so I was thinking
you're on my team not
done that's fun
yeah it's a good point
I do not want him to win
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Um, I'm going to go with, uh, yeah, that's, that, that, that's the shoe, uh, the, the, the, yeah, the shoe tracker, shoe gadget tracker, the shoe.
Yeah, yeah.
Show me track shoes.
Oh, that's a shame.
I knew it was going to be wrong.
Okay, but, but do you think I'm right, dreadnecks that there's another shoe one here and we're just missing it?
Oh, there, there's definitely another shoe we're missing.
I'm trying to think like shoe bomb or shoe knife or something like that.
Yeah, knife feels
I swear I've seen the knife thing
In a million movies though
Not necessarily just bond ones
And that's why I'm worried about that one
We just saw Goldfinger, is it possible
I say this out loud
And maybe Dunaway steals it
If we don't take it
But anyway, the big exploding briefcase was a thing
But that's not really gadget
It's kind of dumb
I mean, it's just a exploding briefcase
Everyone could make one of those, you know?
Didn't you have X-Ridey ideas?
Did you have X-ray?
Glasses? No way. Is that true? What was that from? Was he looking at ladies? Oh, yeah, no, he did.
Was it Golden Eye, the movie?
Oh, that's... There's something we saw in Filmsack where there were his x-ray glasses being used, and it was him using him.
Yeah, you know what? Let's do that. X-ray glasses, Brian.
All right. X-ray specs, just like he found in the back of some comic book.
Right, after the bullies beat him up, he got to his comic book, and he got the x-ray specs.
Show me X-ray specs.
Damn it.
Let's see.
That one was number 44.
People did say X-ray specs.
All right.
Briefcase bomb.
I'm going briefcase bomb.
Briefcase bomb?
Okay.
And I think it was from Russia with love, right?
He didn't have one in gold.
Oh, sorry.
No, no, no.
What was the...
He had that whole tricked out briefcase with a...
Yeah, he did.
Like a knife hidden in one part.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And coins.
Oh, yeah.
I'm mixing them up.
Because he, yeah.
used it at the end to
confuse the guy that would be in Jaws,
that guy. Yeah. And that was
wrong movie. All right, yeah. But briefcase bomb just feels
right. Even though, even if it's not on there,
it just feels good. Oh, I'm in the briefcase.
All right. Show me. Briefcase bomb.
Oh, that's a shame. That's a shame.
Briefcase bomb was number.
It was in here also.
20, oh, no, 26 was the
briefcase dagger.
Exploding briefcase. I know
Is it really a gadget if it's just in a briefcase?
I mean, sure.
I can put anything in a briefcase.
You can put a gun in a briefcase.
Is that a gadget?
Yeah, it kind of is.
That's kind of a key strategy, right?
Let me add a gun to this device or an explosive to this device.
Or a laser or, yes, yeah, exactly.
Well, congratulations to I am not sci-fi, dreadnecks.
Congratulations, you've won.
Congratulations, you're the winner.
I think I am sci-fi for not showing up.
Yeah, thank you again.
It's going to be, like, it should be the consistent joke,
like Kimmel always saying no time for Matt Damon.
All right, let's see what the rest of these are.
This, if you would have said any form of, other than the submarine car,
any sort of car, just car, I would have given you number three.
Oh, son of them.
Really?
The Aston Martin?
It was fully loaded.
I mean, it's fully loaded with gadgets.
It itself, I would not call a gag.
gadget but no it's the carrier of many gadgets exactly like the briefcase is the carrier of
many yeah yeah did he have hilly's i bet they didn't see that coming
healy's so that'd be great that the other shoe one on the list is the healies uh show me
number seven the fountain pen gun oh that's right because it goes yep uh that one was in um
let's see oh i'm never gonna find i just remember it hitting a dummy like thp pfp into a dummy
Yeah, like a blow dart kind of thing.
Yeah, that was cool.
Speaking of a pens, number nine is the hypodermic needle pen.
This was actually used by one of his bond girls to try and subdue him with like a pen that had a hypodermic needle.
Never had a pin that was a straw? Never did that?
Oh, it killed by your own poison pen or something like that.
Right. I have a too fake.
That'll teach you to write poison pen letters.
I'm not going to be your poison pen pal.
Oh, nice.
And number ten, you guys danced all around this one.
The shoe dagger, even though James Bond himself didn't wear it.
I was the Russian lady that wore this.
The reason why didn't play it.
Yeah, Wilson Webb wore it and did her little happy time.
That wasn't his gadget.
Yeah, but it's the tad pool says.
See, it's the tad pool.
That would have been on the rest of the list.
Magnet wristwatch.
wrist-mounted dart gun
remote-controlled car
Pierce Brosnan had that in Tomorrow Never Dies
That's right
That was cool though
Everybody wants one of those
The wrist watch detonator
Odd Job's hat again
Well I guess Bond was the only one
No I was going to say Bond is the only one
Who actually used it to hurt somebody
But he even missed Odd Job
Odd Job just really destroyed a
statue with that
Did Odd Jobs' hat ever actually hit anybody?
No, he just hit the...
He'd killed one of the sisters, remember?
Did he?
Oh, yes, right.
He did?
Yeah.
In the woods.
He said, Ron said run and she says, okay.
Yeah, no, you're right.
Sucker.
You're right.
So killed one person, a statue, and then set or turned on the electricity to kill odd job.
Right, exactly.
So really, he still was kind of using the hat.
Yeah.
And he killed one of his goons.
No, he threw him over.
Okay, go ahead.
Yeah.
Boombox.
We talked about the cigarette lighter gun.
Finger and Replicator.
The golden gun was on the list number 24.
The alligator submarine.
the croc that let's see that's the same thing
cufflinks somebody just said cuffling actually two people said cufflinks
and I don't know what they do yeah oh yeah the explosive toothpaste
the dentonite I think it's called oh no way I forgot about that
that's great watching flame thrower bagpipes grappling hook gun
the flame throw our bagpipe has got to be the motion that sounds amazing I don't
remember what that's in that must be a that was in a queue that was just in the
Q Laboratories. He never actually used
it himself.
Q's sandwich, which really was just a
sandwich. Which is Q's sandwich?
James Bond picks it up and says, what does this
do and throws it or something?
That's my lunch.
James, do pay attention.
Seagull wetsuit,
smokescreen, car exhaust.
People who weren't playing Golden I were playing
Spy Hunter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ultralight plane. And a bunch of people
had different variations of
his penis, his
libido,
a woman.
Like, basically...
It's not his gadget, you guys.
One of my favorites is
we haven't watched the man with a golden gun
yet, but we will get to fake nipple
as being a...
Oh, I remember the fake nipple.
We got to get that. That's all.
Yeah. Oh, wow.
Yeah. That's great.
And jammy pants.
Oh, jammie pants. All right.
Jamie pants. That's fantastic.
Dreadnecks, it's good not only that you won,
that we won, really, as a team.
I'm going to give you most of the credit.
That's right.
But you're going to get these codes because you're the big winner here.
And having you on was a real treat, as always.
How do you feel about your big win?
Yeah, this was great.
And I look forward to seeing all of you in Vegas a little later this month.
Yeah.
Thanks very much for having me in.
Out on, man.
We'll see you later.
Hey, Donaway, today.
Hey, Scott.
We're going to do play retro today.
That's happening.
Yeah, we are.
We're going to talk about Super Dodgeball.
We're going to talk about Ransom, Ransom, what's it called?
River City Ransom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
City Ransom.
Which is funny, because that's the one I played the most of this week, and I couldn't remember the name.
Anyway, we're going to talk about all those.
Coon games on the NES.
That's right.
If you're not familiar with that, that's all those, the Dodge Ball and the River City Ransom and the Crash in the Boys.
Crash in the Boys is the weirdest freaking title I've seen in a long time.
Yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty weird.
It's pretty weird.
So we're going to dig deep back into that.
But at least it's not as sucky as Renegade, which was the, oh, that was such a crap game.
But we'll talk more about that.
Renegate's bad, but River City holds the hell up.
Yeah, it does.
Yeah, if you like side-scrolling, beat them ups, that thing is like the king, in my opinion.
I love that game.
Yeah.
I didn't know how tightly woven it was with Double Dragon.
I got learned all this cool stuff this past week, that, and I always thought that River City Ransom was just a knockoff of Double Dragon.
But it's so much more.
It's got all these RPG elements I didn't know about.
Kind of the other way around in a way.
But we'll talk all about it tonight, 3.30 Mountain Time, right here at frogpans.
Or twitch.tv.tv slash frogpans, however you get there.
And come hang out with me and Brian.
And if you don't get it there, get it on the podcast a little later wherever you get your podcasts.
Brian, kiss our butts.
Bye.
All right.
There goes, Brian.
We're going to do a quick news story.
Yeah.
Let's play this first.
I don't watch the news.
Hey, Brian, the news today is brought to us by.
In a quiet Georgia town, a film.
director is murdered. Was it the grieving husband? Was it a close friend? Was it an old enemy out for
revenge? One fiery red head detective is on the case. That's just a taste of the exciting
new book from Tadpuller R.B. Willis. Just search Amazon for The Case of the Weeping Ham
of Freddie Falcon Mystery to nab yours today. Oh, and it's included with Kindle Unlimited
subs. Yep, I just downloaded on Kindle Unlimited. I was happy to see it there and very stoked for
another tadpuller doing a rad thing.
For sure, the case of the weeping ham
with two M's. That's right. As in John
Ham. Like John Ham, yeah, there you go.
Good job, R.B. Willis, you're
I think that's awesome. I admire
authors a lot, especially self-published
ones. I think that's awesome.
All right, we got one, I'll probably get one story
in here. A self-cloning
monster goldfish.
They're invading
Canadian waters now.
Okay.
It's happening.
Self-cloning
monster goldfish. That's right. This is what it says. Many people often keep goldfish as pets, Brian, as you know. That's the thing. Did you have one growing up or no?
Never had a goldfish. I had one for a while. We had gerbils. Do you have hamsters? Just gerbils. Yeah, just never, never any fish.
We did fish of various kinds of fish. We had a goldfish for a while. I think we had we called him Eddie. It's my memory.
Tristan had a beta. Yeah? How'd the beta do? Did he kill other things? We had only one
beta. We never got the
the Golden Master release.
I think it's funny they call them
the, sorry,
made me laugh at that. I think it's funny
they call them beta fish and not alpha fish,
given how
right, because they're, yeah, because
they're the alpha, like they fight to become the alpha.
Yeah, they should eat the beta fish.
I don't get why they did that. But anyway,
or maybe it's not
beta the way I'm saying beta, maybe it's
beta or something like that. I don't
know. I haven't looked that hard
into it.
But anyway, people do that as pets, and it's not hard to see why.
They're pretty easy.
Goldfishers' intelligence as they come when it comes to fish.
This article says it makes them such well-appreciated guests to have a small pond,
or to having a small pond, fish bowls and aquariums.
But if you think it's all glee and fun with goldfish, think again,
they're quickly becoming a menace to Canadian waters.
Canadian goldfish.
Yep, that's right.
Canadian goldfish owners are starting to rethink.
think, as these acceptable petfish have become a cause for concern by becoming self-cloning monsters.
And then they go into detail here.
Basically, they replicate at an alarming rate.
I'm going to pull a picture up here.
Yeah.
They're huge, too.
And they're everywhere.
Football-sized.
Yeah.
And nobody wants these.
They want these to be gone.
Look at that thing.
Gosh, dang it, dude.
Look at that hole.
And they got water in the second photo.
Oh, my gosh.
There's so many of these.
It's disgusting.
You don't want to eat these.
They're weird.
I don't think you want to eat them.
And they're all over the place.
So Canada, we're thinking of you.
Yeah.
We want you to be safe.
For the love of God, don't feed them.
Tim Hortons.
This is what it's doing to him.
Look what it's done.
Oh my gosh.
This one pitcher of this guy's holding this.
That's as big of fish as I've ever seen.
That's as big as a medium-sized dog.
Yeah.
Easily.
And it's also wrinkly like one.
Yeah.
They're so fat in the middle and skinny on the end.
Yeah.
Bulbous.
I kind of want one.
Oh, my God.
You can help them out by getting one.
They get even bigger.
I did like four pictures.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's the one I was saying.
It's like a medium-sand-time.
I thought I'd seen the maximum.
No.
Yeah.
I hadn't.
All right.
That's enough of that.
Let's do a break.
When we come back from this break,
Tom Merritt will join us.
We'll have a little tech talk.
After that, we got recommendals.
You know, it's your usual Wednesday.
here on the TMS show.
Before we do that, though, Brian brought a little package.
She's going to unwrap it and tell us what's inside, Brian.
Oh, let me see.
Let me take off the bow here.
Oh, I've got to save the card.
I'll read the card last.
Hey, we're going up to the Bay Area for a seven-piece band that, look, if you've got
the late great Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings driving one direction, and then you've
got the coming from the other direction, you've got the black keys, and they're not
paying attention and they bunk their cars.
Everybody's fine.
Everybody's okay.
Of course, Sharon Jones no longer with us.
But where those two cars bumped into each other, they created a band called Conbrio, C-O-N-B-R-I-O.
This is a brand-new studio album from them called Scream at it.
It's got blues, R&B, rock and roll, pop, soul, all of it, all in one song.
Here is the first single from their brand-new album.
It is called Trunch.
Trunch.
I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting that.
Trunch.
That's an amazing. That's the sound the car's made.
It's the noise it made, yes. All right. Here it is. It's Tronch. We'll be right back with more. Stay tuned.
Your body hits me like a lighten stride, angels electrified.
Everything's thick with a fill of you, it seeps into the inside.

You make me sure you come out with me.
I want you deep in the city, baby.
I want you deep in the sick here.
In fast food restaurants, cafeterias, and department stores, the signs are up, and some smokers are fuming.
If people don't want to smoke, that's fine. They should stay out of the restaurant.
If I'm smoking and I happen to have to go to the bathroom and I go in there, I don't, you know,
I don't feel like I should have to put it out just so I can go to the bathroom.
I thought I heard something in here. Did you toot?
the morning stream gas up the machine
gas up the machine she's down to fumes
and we're back everybody please tell me who trunch or where trunch came from again please
yeah that that song trunch came from a band called con brio which is spanish for with brio
uh from their brand new album scream at it which is going to be released this summer that's the
single, and again, it is called
tranche. Trunch. It's impossible to
say that without doing it without affectation.
I know. You can't say it with a period.
It can only be said with an exclamation point.
It doesn't seem right. Very strange.
All right. Check it out, everybody. We got this
going. The world of tomorrow will be
as cold as sunlight
tuned through photochromic windows.
I ride it naked.
He sure does. Hey, everybody, check it out. It's Tom Merritt.
He is our tech expert who joins us each and every
Wednesday to talk about the tech stories of the day.
Tom Merritt, welcome back to the show.
Well, thank you again for having me, Brian and Scott, Scott and Bryant.
Oh, that's right.
That's how we prefer to be called that.
So next time, don't forget it.
Just kidding.
Tom, it's great to have you back.
Those are our names.
Please wear them out.
That's right.
The world of tech doesn't start until I hear what Tom has to say about it.
That's true every day.
By golly, that's true.
It doesn't have to be that way, but it is the way for you.
It is the way.
Yeah, it's the way.
This is the way.
Tell us what's going on.
There's probably something popping out there.
What's going on right now?
Yeah, you ever heard of Shigaru Miyamoto?
I have.
He's a designer of quality video games since the early, late 70s or something like that.
And he's the Iron Chef.
Oh, no, different one.
Different guy.
Iron chef of video games, perhaps.
Oh, there we go.
I would call him a legend.
I would too.
I think that's fair.
Fair enough.
He was having a little talk with Variety about Mario,
because we got the Mario movie coming out, right?
So variety.
They cover the entertainment business.
They sit down with Miyamoto.
They say, let's talk Mario.
You've had a big hand in this Mario thing.
Tell us about the Mario.
One of the things he said in the course of that interview, which talked a lot about a lot of things, was mobile apps will not be the primary path of future Mario games.
Oh.
Oh.
Okay.
I mean, I didn't think it would be either, but that is.
I was going to say.
Yeah.
I mean, it does feel like this is saying like, yeah, it never was the price.
exactly like we love consoles we're going to stand consoles you'll get the occasional app but that's
not going to be our focus yeah it's not surprising but it does say something right it says you can't
get much further up the chain at nintendo than miamoto and to have him basically say it's not our
strategy to think that mobile's the future outside of what we do mobily with our with our console
of course but not phones i don't think is um i think is also it's two things it seems obvious but also on
the, on the other hand, it seems like, okay, well, there's something from Nintendo that we haven't
actually heard. That's them putting a flag in the ground saying, yeah, we don't think, we don't
think Mario's future is on phones. And I agree with them. If, if you were going to emphasize that
you're continuing your strategy with, with mobile, I think there'd be a couple things. One is,
it would be phrased more like, mobile is a wonderful platform that we are going to continue to
explore. But of course, our primary game focus is, is always blah, blah, blah. Instead, it was
it will not be our primary focus
added on top
into the fact that Dr. Mario World
was removed from the app store
after two years
Mario Kart Tour
is their best revenue generating
game at 300 million
compared to Mario Kart 8's
3 billion.
This does feel like Nintendo's saying
we're pulling back from mobile
with Mario anyway.
I guess maybe not Nintendo,
but Miyamoto is saying that.
Sure.
And he talked a lot
lot about how they design these games, which I thought was pretty interesting. He says,
you know, we try to define what is the gameplay, what is the method, and then define what devices
they go on. And a lot, he talked a lot about the integrated strategy of hardware and software
and how that's difficult when you're doing it on a phone where it's the screen and your
thumb. And yeah, you can, you can add Bluetooth controllers and stuff, but most people who play a game
on a phone are going to be using screen and thumbs. You have to design for that. Yeah. I think, and I think
they certainly gave it a um i don't think this is them going well it didn't work out because they made
a lot of money on mobile it's just i think that they're they know their limits and they
they did mario they did a version of um a fire emblem there's a fire emblem kind of uh yeah there's a
few others out there sure there's their mario cart game on there there's an animal crossing mobile game
like there's a lot of stuff yeah and they're all money makers except that dr mario world didn't make
any money as far as i know um but but but i think this is just
them acknowledging what we all probably thought, which is this isn't really going to be their
place. They want a little piece of it. Go ahead and take whatever part of the pie you want,
but it's not going to be their primary focus. And I don't think it'll be any ones that are
currently like, you know, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo would all love the money that's made in mobile,
but it's never going to be their primary output. I just can't see it. I mean, maybe it will one day
and I'll eat my words, but I don't think, I don't think they ever do. Yeah, I wonder if this
means we'll never see a Mario game on mobile again, which I kind of feel like that's what it
means, but he also didn't want to rule out the possibility. I feel like there's a strategy
for some Mario adjacent or Mario branded mobile games, right? They try to do Super Mario
run. They're trying to capture what Mario does and put it on a game. And I think maybe what
you do is like a Nintendo puzzle game, where Mario is one of the, you know, characters in there.
I actually think Mario versus Rabbids, which is technically a Ubisoft joint.
It's in conjunction with Nintendo, but it's published by Ubisoft.
That game would lend itself extremely well to mobile.
It would be great for mobile.
Yeah, I'd play the hell out of it on there.
You know, ex-com style.
Like a tactical ex-com game like that would be really good there, but I don't, I wouldn't hold my breath.
In that same interview, I was reading that interview yesterday, and part of it got carried by IGN,
and they had a quote that I liked.
He says, he was talking about Dr. Mario.
And he says,
Mario is a blue collar guy.
He is a regular person.
So even when he becomes Dr. Mario,
there's sort of some shadiness to it.
Like, can I trust this person?
Yeah.
I love that.
Wait, is that because he's a blue collar
or because he's a straight ahead arrow
and then when he becomes a doctor,
you shouldn't trust the academics.
Well, that's weird.
So that is weird, right?
Like, I don't know how to quite take it.
Maybe it's a little bit lost in translation, but it feels like what he's saying is,
hey, that plumber over there, he's doing physicals now.
I don't know if I trust that.
Like, maybe that's what he's saying.
Yeah, that tracks.
That's weird.
I love my plumber.
He's great.
I don't know if I trust him to, you know, test my colon or anything.
Yeah, you're not going to walk over and go, this looks infected to you to your plumber and let him touch it.
I mean, you might, but you probably shouldn't.
You shouldn't.
I'm going to go ahead and recommend against it, actually.
I think it's about it.
That's interesting.
I recommend listening.
You know, I fully expect you to get an email from someone who's like,
well, my plumber actually went to med school and used to be a doctor,
so I actually did this.
Oh, well, in that case, sure.
Like, if you got somebody who's just a savant, or they're just like,
I got tired of working.
I got out of the rat race.
Yeah, I'm out of the rat race, but I still know enough to tell you that that little,
you should get that thing removed or whatever.
Then fine.
But Mario spends all his times in pipes and then suddenly he's a doctor.
Give me a break.
Yeah, did he go to school?
Does he even wash his hands after he's dealing with the pipes?
No.
Before he starts.
Heck no.
He should watch everything after sitting on Yoshi.
He might be good at stomach issues though.
He might be.
It's a really good point.
Anyway, this is an interesting interview.
People should check it out.
And there'll be more on Daily Tech News show.
I'll probably get it mentioned today.
Yeah, I figured what we could talk about on Daily Tech News show is like, well, if you're not doing mobile, which was once the future of gaming.
Right.
And you're not doing cloud gaming.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
And that's a great.
question for whatever's next for them because I have all kinds of questions about when
Nintendo does the next like and they're not answering the question not yet but I got
questions that'll be fun I love that kind of stuff and I'll be there today so look forward to
the daily tech news show 2 p.m. Mountain Time and you know come watch live but if you can't get
the podcast and all that stuff Tom you probably got other cool things brewing anything else going on
you'd like to mention I'm real excited this week if you have not already subscribed it I know some
of you have, but if you have not already subscribed to Know A Littlemore.com, you want to get
in there. You don't want to miss tomorrow's big return. Noa Little More comes in seasons, so it's
been since December, since we had a full season, or maybe it was early January. We did put out
a special on Section 230 last month, but we have a big relaunch. We wrangled in Justin Robert
Young's Dog and Pony Show audio to help spruce up the place.
So we have a full season of better storytelling, improved production value.
Amos is still working on it.
He's working hand in hand with Justin's team.
So we're going to premiere the relaunch, the big relaunch of No Little More Thursday with the story of RSS.
Now, you may go like, RSS is rife with personalities.
It's rife with backstabbing.
The RSS Protocol, by all accounts, should not still be around.
We're going to tell you that story starting Thursday.
So get over there and get subscribed at Know Littlemore.com.
Sounds nice.
Also, the self-same Justin Robert Young will be here on Monday for about 15 minutes
promoting their new season of The Greatest Con, which will be fun.
Yeah, it's a big couple of weeks for Dog and Pony Show audio.
Yeah, they're having a moment there.
Anyway, look forward to that.
Tom, I look forward to DT&S later today.
Check it out.
Tom Merritt.
He is Ace Detect on Twitter while at last.
Tom Merritt, we'll see you next time.
Bye.
You like how I added that while at last part.
I do while at last, yes.
Very good.
It's real weird over there right now.
Okay.
Now we can talk streaming.
Good.
I've been wanting to talk streaming for a while.
Scott, I'm glad you could join me.
Well, it's the hot new technology, Brian.
We've got to talk about it.
Yes.
You know, it's about sitting down.
It's about hitting a button, hit and play.
Right.
fill in your head with all sorts of stories
and then deciding whether we should tell anybody about it
that's how this works
yes
see I'm stalling because I'm entering in all of our choices
onto quicktms.l.I so that I can
I don't have to do that while everybody's talking
and I'm stalling because oh no she's here
here we go we're playing it now everybody check it out
well what do you recommend
yes that music means it's time for recommendals
and today this is the first time I'm hearing
I know, you weren't here.
Wait, were you here last week?
Juice or last week.
Oh, you were, but you came in late.
That's what it was.
Yeah.
I'd already played it.
Then you joined.
Yeah, I got a nice.
An AI or something.
No, this is like a, I got it off something else.
I can't remember.
You stole it from the background of the This American Life story.
I definitely, I definitely sampled it from somewhere, but I don't know where.
I don't remember where I got it.
Anyway, it is talking to a woman in a coffee shop.
Act three.
It's not an ordinary coffee shop.
It's a coffee shop of death.
We're going full NPR starting today.
It's happening.
We need public funds as well.
So let us know if you can get a tote bag if you support the show.
Anyway, hey, Nicole's here.
Randy's not.
He's out of town.
So we're doing this with the three of us.
And I'm very excited about it.
Glad to have you back, of course.
Brian, we're going to start with you because we always start with you.
Sure.
Set this up so we know what we're doing.
Sure.
This is a film just came out recently.
And I prepared myself as best I could.
watch this film. You'll probably
be able to figure out because part of the
title of the film is said multiple times in this
audio clip. Oh my gosh. All right. That's
a lot. Here it is. Let's see what we've got.
No, no, no, relax.
This isn't about you and your
pre-elections. There's this
chap, Detective Chief Inspector
Luther, and he's
in charge of finding this poor young lad
Callum, and I can't
allow that to happen, I'm afraid.
Now,
Listen, listen, from what I hear, DCI Luther's a bit of a bad apple.
Trouble is, he's a very analogue bad apple.
It doesn't have a what you might call an online presence,
which is why I'm calling you.
I want everything on him.
Every furtive little secret, every intimate disgrace.
I want his corruption.
I want evidence of any misstep, any wrongdoing, any line he's crossed.
I won his shame.
That is Gallum, right?
That is Gallum, yeah, looking for, not protecting, but not letting Luther find a kid
named Callum, Cowellum, All I could, all I could ever hear, every time you mention Callum.
yeah that is the brand new luther the fallen sun movie which is on netflix it is a uh the movie continuation of the five season series that uh bbc series luther starring idris elba um i prepared by binging like crazy the five seasons of luther since i'd never seen it started a few weeks ago and got through them before they got pulled from hulu on april first however you can still watch them on brittbox and pluto tv
for free, I believe, on Pluto TV.
So if you want to watch Luther, you've never seen an episode of Luther.
Basically, he is a detective in London for a department that specializes in serial killers
and unusual murders.
And very early on in the series, he befriends a woman named Ruth, or I'm sorry, a woman
named Alice, played by Ruth Wilson.
And she, you know, she early on is kind of.
kind of like a amused to him,
a little bit of a Hannibal Lecter to him.
She doesn't make an appearance in this film,
but you do get Cynthia Arrivo
from 12 years of slave and,
oh, geez, well she, the,
you know what, I'm not even getting to guess
because I'm going to get it wrong, I'm sure.
But she's fantastic as the new,
as a new detective in that same department.
that same
Oh, she's awesome in everything
she's in.
I love her.
She absolutely is.
Just looked her up.
She's awesome.
And then, of course,
as you heard,
you did get Andy Circus in here as well,
who I'm glad you find out very early on
that he's the murder
because as soon as you hear his voice,
you're like, okay,
well, that's Andy Circus.
So if I see a crowd of people
and Andy Circus is in there,
I know he's the bad guy.
Yeah.
He's so good, though.
Gosh, dang.
He's great.
Yeah.
really good in this? And, God,
very early on, there is
an image, there is a
visual of him
that is so freaking unsettling
that it sets up
the whole rest of the film.
It's not getting, I mean,
it's getting good reviews, better than average
reviews. It's not
stellar, but I
enjoyed it a lot because I watched
all the Luther episodes
leading up to it. However,
I don't think it's required
that you watch any Luther before watching this.
They do set up who the character of Luther is.
There are also YouTube videos that, like,
if you, before you watch Luther the Fallen Sun,
watch this YouTube video,
and it does a good job of explaining who Luther is
and what he does,
because he does cross the line quite often
to sometimes success
and sometimes failure in catching who he needs to catch.
We love the series in this house,
so we will see this.
I've heard the mixed reviews.
Some people said, look, if you're a Luther fan,
this may not work for you or something.
But it sounds like it worked fine for you,
so I'm going to watch it.
It worked just fine for me.
I enjoyed it.
I watched this on the plane flying back from Vegas last week,
and it's a good watch.
It's really, really, it's heavy,
and it's scary at times, but it's really good.
Were there any sex scenes for the people on the plane to notice you were watching?
No, fortunately, no nudity.
I'm trying to think of even the series,
had any nudity. I don't think it did. No, not really. I don't think it was pretty straightforward.
I think there was one season had, um, one of the guys that he was chasing was a pornographer.
And, uh, in the background, I think you see blurred out some, some people messing around, but I think
that's all you get. Some live porno.
Some live porn. Um, I love, I love Luther, so I'm in. This sounds great. Luther the Fallen Sun.
It is streaming on Netflix. It was in theaters for a very short time. My guess is so that it can
qualify for awards later on.
I don't think it'll get any.
It's good, but it's not that good.
Sure.
But streaming on Netflix as of March 10th.
You know where you saw Holly Gibney recently, both of you,
is that Roar miniseries you guys both watched.
She was...
Holly Gibney.
Yeah, she's the girl in the...
You just said she was in...
Sorry, Holly Gibney.
Cynthia Arrivo, sorry.
Oh, yes. Okay.
She played Holly Gibney and the character's Holly Gibney and the outsider.
Oh, that's interrup.
Which, which, oh, yeah, from the outsider, which one, which of the, uh, is a character called Ambia?
It doesn't say, it was one episode, obviously, because it was a, um, yeah, because it's an anthology series.
I'm wondering, yeah, which one she was in, um, let's see and look in here.
Oh, the woman who found bite marks on her skin. Oh, yeah.
Was that the one? I still need to watch that.
Yeah, those are great. And those you can watch, you know, in multiple settings.
Yeah. Like you said, they're, they're all individual, but, but Nicole and I both binged them like crazy, I think.
I think I watch one and then I watched however eight in a row.
That's awesome.
I got to watch that still.
All right.
There you go.
Luther the Fallen Son.
Seems on Netflix, right?
You said?
Netflix.
Yes.
Excellent.
And if you want to catch up on Luther, like I said, you can watch those.
Amazon Prime.
Was it an Amazon Prime show though?
Luther?
No, it's a BBC original.
It's a BBC in the first place.
But I think they may have carried it there.
Bosch, which I talked about last year.
That's what I'm, yeah, I'm definitely thinking of Bosch.
Bosch, very similar in tone.
So it was funny that I talked about Bosch last week
and then immediately watched Luther the fallen son.
Bosch is like,
Bosch is like U.S. Luther in a lot of ways, you know?
It feels, it's similar.
Bosch was,
Bosch rarely crossed the line.
He was straight-laced and he called out other cops who crossed the line.
That's true.
But now Bosch legacy is very much like Luther.
Yes, because he's outside of the police force and now he can do what he wants.
And so he, he's a what line?
I don't see a line. There's no line.
Yeah.
Luke in the chat room said it was on prime, but it's, now it's on Britbox.
Oh, was, uh, okay.
Luther was on Hulu too.
So it might have been on Prime and Hulu.
I think I watched it on Hulu.
Sorry, Prime back when Kim and I watched it.
Gotcha.
So it just jumps around.
Yeah.
Who knows, it might end up somewhere else.
But for right now, free on Pluto TV, if you want to watch it.
Yeah, Pluto's not bad.
Pluto's not bad.
Yeah, the commercials aren't bad.
Brian Dunaway would rave about Pluto
He would
He loves those
Nicole let's roll it over to you
What do you got here for us
All right
So the thing that I'm learning about my kids
Is
They'll bring in
Stuff to the house
And it just kind of overtakes things
So like the meme
The memes are interesting
So when Mateo finds a meme
Like have you seen the
For you?
Oh, I cut out some of it.
You're cutting out because you're singing.
Because Discord has a setting where it'll do that.
You can turn it off, but it's not, it's no big deal.
You don't have to turn it off.
But I couldn't quite.
It's the let me do it for you, meme.
Oh, let me do it for you.
Yeah, the stupid dog.
Yes, yes, yes.
So that was, that was the theme.
So these things kind of penetrate.
I normally wouldn't experience this stuff.
You know, I'm far past that kind of in the, the no.
I'm not that hip.
But Mateo kind of brings it.
So this show that I am recommending, he, I guess his group of friends got into it.
And now we're all into it.
And there's going to be a live action on Netflix coming out soon.
So, um, it's a massive, massive name.
I never heard of it before.
But it has like a thousand episodes.
So.
Yeah, it's huge.
That's not exaggeration.
No, it's not.
It's a lot.
I saw that. So this, my first exposure to it was on TikTok and it was like just people were doing constant memes about dogs and this thing. But then I started seeing animation and I started thinking, what the hell? What are we doing? And now it's like a full blown like grumpy cat level, you know, meme. Are you talking about the show? No, no. The meme that I was talking about. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. I'm talking. Yeah, I'm talking about the show. Oh, gotcha. Sorry. Sorry, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. No, you're good.
but it's just i was just using as an example of how just kind of things that are popular as
i used to know like i was part of that i'm not part of that now and it's very
you're out of the no so out of the no but my kids help me keep in the no sure this right this show
that i'm recommending is um is definitely popular in my kids world and i have a feeling it's
going to be even more popular when the Netflix
live action version
of it comes out.
They're filming it. I saw
some behind the scene stuff and it looks pretty
fun. So this
is, how many seasons are
there, Brian? They're literally
like a thousand episodes of the show.
So 20 seasons
ranging from a
low of 14 episodes to
165 episodes, grand
total of 156
episodes of this show. Oh my gosh.
This show currently is on TV at our house all the time.
There's a lot of different arcs with the show itself.
Mark is trying to catch up to Mateo, and I think he's on, like, episode five.
So play the clip.
It's from the first episode of the first season.
And there you go.
All right, here we go.
I made a promise.
That's why I can't let myself die here.
Open fire, man.
What the hell?
Ah!
You're crazy, who are you anyway?
Who, me? The future king of the pirates.
Here, I didn't know which of these swords was yours, so I just brought all three of them.
Those are all mine, actually. I use three swords style.
If you fight on my side now, you'll officially be a traitor to the government.
You sure you'd rather do that than die?
what so you're the most evil man alive whatever if my only two choices are joining your crew are dying sign me up
some sweet anime business going on there so it's so it's one piece right one piece yes one piece
the one piece is real that's all i hear now the one piece is real yeah um so what you hear heard in the clip
Luffy is the future king of the pirates
and he was meeting Zorro for the first time
and the way Luffy gets his power
he ate devil fruit that makes him all bendy
and they shot him and the bullocks just kind of went into his skin
and then bounced back at the military people
so there's this there's I keep asking me to
I'm like how much you know where's this
Devil Fruit Grown. I have so many questions and he doesn't know the answers. But it's actually a fun show. I will say probably not best for younger kids. It depicts a lot of smoking. There's some, you know, borderline cuss words depending on your household. So far it's fine for ours. And Ava's not really interested in watching it. But Mateo, me and Mark are all watching it.
and it's going to be a long road.
There's not only like a thousand episodes,
and I think it's a thousand episodes on Hulu
because there is the dub version,
which is what you heard,
but then there's also the original
Japanese version.
Is it Japanese?
Yes, it is Japanese.
It's based on a manga from over there,
and I think that is also like an endless library of content.
There's tons of the manga.
And as we're going through the episodes,
Brian in the chat,
said it gets very deep it does it's it's kind of going into some really hard topics and I'm
kind of watching Mateo to see how he reacts to him if he has questions and stuff like that um and uh yeah
it's a it's a really good show but you got to you got to invest in it and I think there's
some movies out there too we haven't even watched the animated movies yeah there's let's see
there's a total of I have a list right here um I thought I did there's a
Oh, I can't find it now.
But, yeah, there's a bunch of spinoff movies that are about the crew.
And then there's a whole, there's spinoffs that are just character spinoffs.
Um, live action series coming like you mentioned.
Oh, it's rainbow.
It's not Brian.
Sorry.
Yeah, that's right.
Um, video games.
We love that.
I mean, we don't ever change.
Yeah, there's a bunch of video games as well.
There's a recent one called, uh, I can't find it.
I can't find anything now, but there's a role playing game.
Yeah, they've even made a swimsuit.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They've created a one-piece swimsuit.
It's amazing.
I've tried to get into this.
Maybe I need to do it again.
The first time, I just felt like I was barraged with the, I mean, the audio kind of
in there is what put me off.
It's like, uh, you're with what my three swords?
Like all the kind of like normal dubbed anime thing.
If I can just get past that, I'd probably have a good time.
If you look for One Piece Netflix trailer, you're going to find a lot of, of, of
kids making trailers and
Rick rolling you.
So look for the
official Netflix behind the scene.
You'll get to see they picked
a perfect loofy too.
So I don't know
when that's going to come out, but the sets
that they showed on that behind the scenes
clip looks really cool.
This is crazy.
So the original manga run started in July
of 97 and still running
105 volumes.
And then the show that you're
recommending 1999 started and is still going like still making episodes that's just crazy
and you can watch it on Netflix too so there's it's on Netflix and it's also on Hulu
I mean does that even does the Simpsons still beat it I guess by a little bit as far as
animated television that was 89 yeah yeah yeah Simpson definitely still beats it but
but not a number of episodes no no that's a lot man that is
So many, yeah.
Yeah.
And that's the crazy thing.
I'm like, that's how have I never heard of this show before.
Someone, the reason why I think Mateo got into it is he was playing a Roblox game, which
don't get me started on Roblox, but anyway.
Roblox.
It's awful.
It's just awful.
It really is bad.
It's bad video games, but kids love it and I don't know what to do about it.
It's kid gambling.
They are, they are really, they're really tapping.
Like Pet Simulator X.
I followed them for a while and they said,
if you had control of the game for one day,
what would you do?
And I said, delete it because it's just garbage.
It is garbage.
It brings out, it, it's teaching really bad habits for kids.
Yeah, I don't like it.
But anyway, he was playing, like one of the games that he was playing was a knockoff of one piece where you could get devil fruit and do certain things.
But again, it's all collecting.
and paying to win and buying Robux and all that.
And we finally banned Roblox in our Roblox in our house because it was just too much for my kid's personality type.
You might have a kid that has it has the right personality type for it, but mine do not.
Sure.
Well, that's good parenting.
Do you, so is it pretty even quality through all, you know, like if I start this thing at the beginning and I just keep going,
am I going to hit like a real rut anywhere or is there like recommended seasons or any of that sort?
a thing do you know or is it just go for it and watch it we're just yeah we're just going for and
watching it okay i mean i think each season is its own arc kind of like you're fighting
bosses and in an area so the one i i'm still in season one because i think there's like
how many episodes like 30 episodes or something hey brian coverville news uh there are various
theme songs and character songs for a total of 100 or sorry 51 singles that you could get in the
music department, yeah.
I'll put those on wish, on wish list, yeah.
All right, wish list that up.
Yeah.
See, you get those CDs.
Awesome.
All right.
Well, it's one piece, everybody.
Peace, and it's real.
Yep.
And where's that?
Sorry, where did you say it was streaming?
It's on Hulu and it's on Netflix.
Hulu and Netflix.
Because there, I think Netflix secured licensing because of the live action show that
eventually is going to happen.
Mateo's like, is it out yet?
I'm like, no, it's not out yet.
I don't know when's coming.
But they're still casting for that, but they'll tease it.
Yeah.
Oh, and crunchy roll.
Oh, crunchy roll.
Oh, that makes sense.
They would have it.
Yeah.
Which Sony owns now.
So technically, you have it on your PlayStation.
I'm going to play this just real quick.
Hold on.
Let me do it for you.
That's the thing I were talking about her.
Thank you.
Thank you for getting that stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Yeah.
And the last part is for me.
It's Miss Piggy.
Oh, so it's Miss Piggy.
See if I can find that part.
Let's see.
Yeah, they don't they take her voice and like jack it up or something?
Yes, and they modify it and it's a long-nosed dog trying to get a pringle.
Yeah, that's how it starts.
But there are a million of these now where these animated dogs, the dog will come up and go,
let me do it for you.
And then his nose will go really far to fix some problem.
like it's the weirdest meme
it's so weird
we've had a riot with it
I thought you were seeing
that's where my head exploded
because I thought you were saying
they were going to make a live action
version of that
and I didn't realize you moved on
I was like are they really going to do
a live action
freaking CG dog with the long nose
the long nose
they're great yeah
it'll be voiced by Seth Rogen
yeah of course
fresh off of his
sorry I was that clear
no no I think it was me
hearing what I wanted to hear
and I don't know why
You want, you secretly want a live action.
I mean, that's what I think this proves.
I secretly want it.
All right, I'm going to play my clip.
This is, boy, what a shift in tone this will be.
It's also, you'll wonder why this clip is hardly anybody talking.
It's because I found this movie to be very non-verbose.
But I will say, as a hint, this is a sequel to a 2015 film that I absolutely loved.
No, it's not Mad Max Fury.
We don't have that sequel yet.
But there were a lot of good movies that year.
And this is a sequel to one of those by one of my favorite directors ever, even though a new guy took the reins.
Anyway, that's your hints.
Here it is.
How are you feeling?
I feel better if someone actually told me what was going on.
We're turning you over to the Mexican army.
The Lorraine should take you back to your father.
Let's go.
okay see hardly any talking um the movie is sacario uh oh i'm on the wrong page where's the new one
sorry tyler sheridan wrote it the soledad there you go the soledado um it is uh 2018 yeah 2018 this
came out it is currently streaming on i wrote it down hulu and um i was curious because i loved
the 2015 one i didn't give this any time in 2018 because i thought
oh, Denise Villeneuve didn't direct it because he got busy and he was off doing
Blade Runner and then working on Dune. So he was he was taken away from the project.
He wanted to do it, but he couldn't. It was written by Tyler Sheridan, the first one,
which is just called Sicario. And, you know his name because all of this Yellowstone stuff
that's gone crazy over on Paramount. That's him. He writes and makes all that stuff,
show runs all that stuff. Anyway, really good writer. I like all his movies.
But this is a movie that follows up from Sicario.
It is technically Sicario too.
It stars Benicio del Toro, who you heard talk in that clip.
Josh Brolin and an actress named Isabel Mersed.
I don't know where she's from or what she's done before,
but I really liked her in this.
It is really good.
It's really good.
And I think the director, Stefano Salima,
did a good job of carrying forward the tone that Villanouves set in the first movie.
If you've never seen Sicario, one,
do yourselves a favor and see that
freaking movie. It is so good.
Yeah. I hadn't. I haven't watched it yet.
Oh, it's so good, Ryan. It's so good.
And it's got chin lady you like so much.
What's her name?
Reese Witherspoon?
No, the other one. Emily Blunt?
Emily Blunt. Emily Blunt. There you go.
Emily Blunt.
I do really like her a lot, actually.
And that was the other problem is I was worried that since the sequel did not have
Emily Blunt in it, that it was going to be just not as good.
And here's the answer. It is not as good, but it's still really good.
like I think similar to the the Luther thing the series very good right the the movie not as good
but still very good yeah for exactly and Josh Brolin and Benincio del Toro put in killer performances
just like they did in the first film they're very good in this and del Toro's character
hard to explain I don't know how to explain his character except that he is one of the most
interesting film characters in the last 10 years and I feel like hardly anyone knows about it it's so
worth watching him just sort of stare at things. It's hard to explain. He's really great in this.
Josh Bullen is great. And of course, Jeffrey Donovan reprises his role as Steve Forcing. He's like
a little secondary character, but I really like him in it. Catherine Keener's in this. She was
briefly in the first one as well. Matthew Modine is in it. Shea Wiggum. All these people I love
are in it. And I think it's very, very good. Just so, I mean, so it's clear. It's all about
like clandestine super secret black ops sort of stuff going on oh whoa what was that i don't know what
that one sorry it's just stupid youtube one piece and it's uh it's uh it's uh great if if you're looking
for like intrigue and sort of thriller action stuff and spies and and uh toppling governments
and all the sort of thing the cicari movies are really really really good and um i was surprised
and kind of irritated that I took as long to watch it as I did because I just had
these precepts about, well, it's not the same director, and Emily Blunt's not in it.
Somehow I thought that was going to ruin it.
It didn't.
It was really good.
And there was a third being made.
I think Villeneuve is well past this, though.
He's too busy doing really, really big pristine or prestige movies like Dune Part 2.
And he's got what's after that?
Cleopatra and some other science fiction thing he's got after that.
So he's tied up.
But I thought this guy did a great job, this director.
and I think the movie's very good and worth your time.
So anyway, it's over on Hulu.
I don't know.
Sicario 1 currently not streaming, which is annoying,
because I would really watch these as a package if I were people.
Yeah, no kidding.
Keep this in mind.
There's a scene where Benincio del Toro has to fire a gun at somebody.
And that's not shocking in a movie about guns and war and things.
But the way he fires it, oh, you've got to see him do it.
Really?
Oh, now you've got my curiosity piqued.
Don't give it away.
It's so weird.
Yeah, I'm not going to tell you.
got to see it. It's amazing. Anyway, he throws it up in the air and then,
like, fix the trigger. I wish there was that, but not quite that. It is
something to behold. Let's just say he does things with a pistol I didn't think you
could do. Let's put it that way. Oh, it looks like it is on AMC Plus. So I think we still
have the original Sicario is on AMC Plus. So if you had a free. I recommend, Brian. If you've
got that, you should watch it. It's so good. I don't know, watch it. You should. I think,
I even think Taney would like it. I think it's a- Oh, I'm sure she would. She likes stuff like this.
Yeah. If this is, she's into sort of. She like, she like, she like,
cocaine bear. I think all bets are off on where that bar is. That's right. That bar is all over
the place. Anyway, Sicario Day of the Soldado. Soldado. I guess it's how you say it. And quite
recommend it. All right. That's it for all these. They're all going to be up on quicktms.l.I.
They're already there. Boom. They're already there. Yeah, you can, you can,
people could have been using as a cheat sheet to look ahead at what we're, what we're recommendal.
That's right. And we should have Randy back next week. He'll finally talk about whatever this clip has. I've been holding on to for two weeks.
That's two weeks, yeah. Two weeks.
Nicole, you got anything else going on? You want to tell people about it? You got anything cool going on?
Go check out the latest Wood Whisper video. Mark's talking about parallel clamps.
That's awesome. There you go. Those are my favorite kind. I think there's probably about 1% of your audience would even understand this.
Who knows, man? I don't know. Like Cool Woodwork
stuff's always been great over there, but parallel clamps, I didn't even heard of them until
today. That sounds great. I'll check that out. The only clamps I've ever thought of is the guy,
the character on Futurama called Clamps. He's the only other one I know. The robot, yeah.
Nipple clamps? Well, wasn't familiar with those until just now. There's two types of
clamps that's got things about. That's right, all the time. Nicole, it's always good to see you,
and I hope you have a wonderful week, and we'll see you next time. Bye, guys. Bye now. Bye.
All right. Well, we've done it once again. We've careened toward the tail and
land of a show where I would like to now share
a couple of things
with you. Today, DT&S at 2, I'll be
there if you want to watch that and if you want to watch
Play Retro 3.30 p.m. today.
We got some bear safety
recommendations from a texter.
They didn't leave their name, but
we talked about how to survive a bear.
I think we talked about it in relation to cocaine bear.
I don't remember how that
came up. Oh yeah, that's exactly what came up.
We were talking about cocaine bear and
like, what are you supposed to do? He's supposed to run up hill.
He's supposed to run downhill, climat a tree.
What do you do?
Well, he says, here are some more life-saving bear safety tips from the folks at Yellowstone.
This is what they say.
Make noise as you walk through the woods so you don't startle the bear.
Rangers even suggest hanging small bells on a belt loop or two.
Oh.
So you want to be a known quantity.
You don't want to be stealth.
You don't want to surprise them, basically, like, oh.
Right.
So you'll both be surprised and he's got, he's bigger.
Yeah, that's absolutely true.
Then it says, number two, apart from an air horn, make sure you carry heavy-duty pepper spray.
as bears have sensitive noses and will help repel them.
So if they do come at you,
right in the face.
Yep.
Number three, know your bears.
You can identify what kinds of bears may be in the area
by examining any droppings you find.
Not going to do it.
This tastes a little grizzly to me.
Oh, let's be a grizzly bear.
This one's grizzly.
Ew.
I don't want to know what grizzly tastes like.
It says you can identify what kinds of bears.
may be in the air by examining any droppings.
Black bears drop typically
or typically smell of fruit and or fish
and often have seeds in them,
while grizzly bears droppings
are often smell like pepper spray
and have small bells in them.
Nice, nice callback.
That's weird.
That's weird.
That's hilarious.
It's insane because you have small bells.
Yeah, the guy that walked in earlier.
It's very nice.
Nice way to end your email there, your text.
I didn't get a credit.
I don't know who that was.
So whoever you were, thank you for that.
It was great.
uh here's one brian this is uh closed spaces stuff uh this is from list or l tST i'm not sure
you say love the show though oh duh so it's not his name well unless his name is love the show
though i don't know we've had we've had people do tattoos of uh tms so maybe somebody's actually
named their child love the show though could be uh it says small and closed spaces is the subject
hey scott yesterday you mentioned that some people must enjoy small and closed spaces because we're
talking about, you know, you don't like them.
I don't really like them at all. I could not do the Bruce Willis.
Come to, come to California. We'll have a few laughs. Couldn't do it.
Couldn't be stuck in there. I couldn't be stuck in there.
That whole, the 500 miles of shit and come out cling on the other side, couldn't do it.
Can't do it. I'd be in prison forever because I just can't get in the tube.
Anyway.
That was the Proclaimers cover of that scene from the Shashank Redemption, right?
I would dig 500 miles through all the poop and come out.
clinging on the other side. Is that how it goes? That's the one. Exactly.
Says they're called claustrophiles instead of claustrophobes.
Famed sci-fi author, Isaac Asimov,
Azimov was one, he says.
From his Wikipedia page,
Asmov was a claustophile. I can't say it.
He enjoyed small enclosed spaces in the third volume of his autobiography
recalls a childhood desire to own a magazine stand in New York City subway station
where he could just enclose himself and listen to the rumble of
passing trains while reading.
He says, not my idea of a good time, but to each their own, I guess.
Love the show, though.
Anonymous.
So what's funny about that is knowing there are people who enjoy it.
You and I both would prefer not to be in enclosed spaces, yet we both enjoy the feeling of a weighted blanket on us.
Yeah, isn't that weird?
It feels like that should be opposite.
It's kind of that same, same, you know, enclosing feeling.
But I bet Asimov would have, you know, sort.
sported a chub getting a waded blanket on it.
One of his azimov, famous azimov chubs.
But I feel like, okay, so if I could create a small little space to curl into and read
or play a game or something, that doesn't sound so bad.
It doesn't, like a little wooden, like a booth, basically, right?
Where you've got a TV, your console, a comfortable little recliner chair, and you can close
the door and have no distractions.
Yeah, a little space like that, I think I'd be fine with that.
Totally.
But like a pipe or a, you know, a box?
They got those really cool, like, pods that, you know, thousands of dollar pods that have that sort of thing.
And it reclines you in a way.
And the TV is like, you know, you're looking up at the TV, but you're recline.
And so you're.
Oh, yeah, I can do that.
Like surround sound and everything.
Yeah, pad the rest of the room, lock the door, leave me in there.
I think it'd be okay with that.
Yeah, exactly.
But I don't want to be in, I don't want John.
McLean space. I don't want that.
Nope. No. Screw that. A little cigarette lighter.
Yeah, forget it. A few guys
guys would like to counter any of these arguments
and or send in your own thoughts and comments.

Not to be confused with diced tomatoes, but all of this is making me hungry.
Paul from Illinois wrote and said, hey, Scott and Brian, I've been listening to a lot of the new wave of emo
and pop punk lately and found
a Jackson 5 cover that I really enjoy.
I figure I would share it with the tadpool on any day
that you don't have another request.
Today is that day.
Can I get some of Veronica's
perpetually lengthening sausage?
Side Paul.
That is a weird way to ask for that,
but you know what?
Yes, the answer is yes.
Is this it?
It's the new film.
Nick and Nora's perpetually lengthening sausage.
That's the one.
Can I find it?
I like fried chicken.
That's not it.
that's not it at all
but I have a new audio clip for Veronica
that I want
I've moved cap no

I like fried chicken
I swear
I still swear that that's a young
Justin Robert
Young, just a time-traveling, Justin Rubber.
Oh, yeah, picture him at 10.
I like fried chicken.
That's him.
That's it.
I like fried chicken.
Yep.
Just all you do is lower his voice a little.
Unfriend me.
Exactly.
We'll compare it Monday when he's here and see how it goes.
Exactly.
All right, let's get to this one.
It is a cover of the song by the Jackson 5, released in 2017 as a single by
appropriately for today's topics, the band Abandoned by Bears.
Here is, I Want You Back.
Oh, that's amazing.
All right, that's going to do it.
We'll be back tomorrow with a brand new episode of a Thursday edition of TMS.
Yeah, yeah
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in the crowd
But someone picked you from a bunch
One glass was all in dark
Now it's much too late for me
To take a second look
Oh baby give me one more chance
I'm showing you
Won't you please let me
Back to go

Back you gone, baby
But now since I see you in his arms

No, no, no
Trying to live without your love
It's one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know one's arrived
Every snake you are gone
Take down shades of the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
Oh baby give me one more chance
I'm sorry to love you
Won't you please let me back the door
Oh darling I was blind
And let you go
But now since I've seen you in
It's arms
Inns

Won't you please let me back
Oh baby all I need is one more chance
Won't you please let me back in your heart?
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go.
To let you go.
But now since I see you in his heart,
yes, I do not.
I want you back.
Whoa, baby.
