Excuse me. A little cough decided to just pop right in there. Wow. Okay. All right. You're right. Yeah, I think I'm okay now. June 14th, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Good morning. Hello, Scott. Apologies to everybody yesterday for getting cut off early. of the show. I lost internet and then it stayed off. My backup was off. Everything was off. It's kind of relay station problem. Don't know what. And it sucked. And I was pissed. It all came back later and ran fine. But I did post the show for the very first time. It took forever. But I posted it up to all the audio feeds and all of that using a tethered phone. Oh, wow. How long did that take? Longer than it does normally. But not, it wasn't terrible. It's still, you know, 5G is pretty okay. Yeah, that's true. But it was not great.

I would not prefer to do it that way, partly because I'm in this sealed metal roof room here. Yeah. And my signal's a little iffy down here. You're like a little Faraday cage, basically, is what you are. Anyway, that sucked. I left you and Bobby in the lurch, and I hated it. We had a nice little chat, Bobby and I, about Zelda and our favorite shrines,

where we're at in the game, what we're doing. Very nice. I was worried he was all going to be. He's way further ahead than I am. I was a phrase going to be. all science talk but no you guys went where I would want to go right to the Zelda talk that's great oh yeah no he's like hey look I get to save my uh the science thing I had planned to talk about for next week yeah did he did he did he um

did he finish the game or is he just further along no no he's just further along okay he's uh um there are uh uh kind of mini bosses big i don't even want to say mini bosses big bosses but not the full on boss right and he's three in where I'm at one in. I'm one in the bosses. Oh. That sounds horrible. Are those tied?

I've completed one boss. That's maybe that's, this is going, it's getting worse. I've given one boss a happy ending. No, oh, wait a minute now.

Okay. Yeah, still weird. Did you, so are they tied to, forgive me because I haven't played it all yet, but are they tied to the, to the,

um, temples, the bosses themselves? They are tied to the temples. Okay. So there's enough temples. There's like a temple per boss. correct and your decision to go to which one when you go there is a little bit dependent on how well

you're doing up to that point right like you need to be yeah geared or leveled or something um i try to remember if it if it nudged me towards a certain temple first i think maybe it did um probably would right wouldn't it probably would i don't it feels it felt open world like i just kind of said oh i'm going to go you know northwest first yeah but but But I feel like there was something that nudged. There was a quest that said, go check out something in Rito Village. And so I'm like, oh, let's go to Rita Village.

And they get there. And it's like, oh, there's a temple right there. Well, let's do that temple. So that's probably the first one a lot of people do. But, yeah, people are pretty much agreeing. The Winn Temple is probably what they intended for you to do first. A real quick check on speed runs. I always like to do this a little ways into the games release.

So far, the USA holding the top four slots, Sweden after that, Spain and a few others. But currently, Orca Straw, like Orca the Whale with a straw, but also it's like orchestra. Anyway. Oh, God, really? Orca Straw. That's his name. Yeah, it's kind of dumb. Four days ago, hit the new record. The world record currently, one hour, three minutes, 53 seconds, beat Tears of the Kingdom.

get out really a little over an hour yeah these sorts of things blow my mind because a how quickly it happens and b how should that even be at all possible even remotely possible to do this and this is a no glitch run by the way so this isn't taking advantage of some air

or some sure right oh my god I'm just trying to figure out like I mean you just basically say I'm up on this thing dive boom and then you go down and like immediately go to the wind temple geez louise they must that must be what they do right like there's video of this i could go look

but freaks me out when they do i swear to god i feel like uh just getting up to the wind temple took me like three hours yeah yeah it's crazy uh there's a guy who so breath of the wild has a better record even uh at number one a USA player named player five is his name whoever 20 23 minutes 42 seconds he beat breath of the wild 23 minutes see that's insanity i don't That's a whole other thing in life. No. They're not there to have fun. They are there to clobber something in no time.

They're there to get the likes, basically. They're there to get the views so that they can make the money from the views. And I'm damn envious that they can do that. Yeah. They can make the money from the views by doing that. Yeah. No, speed running's a thing, man. They are into it.

It really is a thing. Yeah. Not my thing, but someone else's thing. All right. Well, that's awesome. Oh, I got to tell you a thing real quick. So speaking of games. Oh, yeah.

You were going to say there's some good news. It's so weird. So you can. You can download this and play it on your Ambernik if you want or your Steam Deck or whatever, but McDonald's for that Grimmis birthday, they made a brand new Game Boy Color game that only runs on Game Boy Color devices. You can actually get the hard cartridge if you want or you can download the ROM because obviously not everyone's going to have a Game Boy Color anymore and you can play it that way. But a brand new release of a Game Boy Color game all about Grimmis and his adventures. Wow. Wow. So they're, I'm assuming they're basically saying, here's the ROM, it's free. You don't have to be a, own the physical game to legally own this ROM. We're getting it to you. Yeah, they just give it to everybody, whoever wants it. Oh, yes. You know, those fast food tie-in video games are always so, so good. Like, Sneaking. Oh, what a great game, Sneaking. That's, that sneaking, it got as close as they are ever going to get to good. Yeah, to good games. Yeah, because all they did, basically took some, like, it's just a stealth.

Yeah, it's Splinter Cell, basically. A rogue-like burger. Yeah, and the burger came walking around, trying to be all sneaky and stuff. It was real dumb. They're all dumb. They're always dumb. They're all dumb. Yeah. But I kind of, kind of, kind of, sort of want to play this.

Well, I mean, you know, you can get it for free. You can let me know how it is. Please do. Please do let me know how it is. I will. If it's so good that I can't believe it, I'll send you the ROM, and then we'll all enjoy it together. We'll all swim in Valhalla. Yeah, I don't know.

Something like that. Gates of frozen Valhalla. Hey, look at this. We're going to talk about, okay, I got a question about Italian accents. Oh, okay. You know, the Italians with their accents and all that. Yeah, yeah, very familiar. Yeah, they, you know, whether it's soprano's or something else, you hear kind of,

you hear sometimes exaggerations or whatever. But I'm watching, and I'll go ahead and spill the beans now. My recommendal today is just background watching NYPD Blue because I had no other time for anything else. Sure. And while I'm watching it. We're all watching just for sypilis's butt, right? Oh, I can't wait for it.

It's so excited. Yeah, I'm so excited. I've now seen, uh, CSI Miami, what's his name? Uh, uh,

jeez. He plays John Kelly. I can't think of his name. Redhead, uh, dude. Yeah, the redhead actor.

Uh, the guy that left thought he's going to have a huge Hollywood career, came back for CSI Miami, did that for 20 seasons and then retired. I get him his name. Horatio, I know, but what's the guy's name?

The character, David Caruso Yeah, he's very good By the way See, we were talking about tattoos the other week I was thinking about this yesterday You and I just need to have tattoos Kind of like the Memento guy

You know where it's all over our body For things that we need to remember like Oh, so-and-so did the voice of Pumba David Caruso was NYPD Blue Oh remember Sam Jones is Oh, it's guitar hero We'll be right over here And then Chester Cheetah is a

cheetah right here. Right, Chester was a cheetah, yes, exactly. We'll be like if tattoos could be truly temporary and not hurt like hell to get lasered off, I'd consider it. That would be kind of hilarious. Yeah, like even just do it before I go to Vegas one here.

For one, TMS, Vegas, right, be the dude from Memento and just have all that stuff on there like Shickertief term. Yeah, and I'll act all like a paranoid, like Guy Pearce and everything and it'll be like everybody, everything in a different font too. It was like every, every message was in a different font.

Like, I'm going to do this one in Old English. How about this one in Comic Sans? Yep, and we'll do it all backwards. We'll be at the arcade first. Oh, right. That's right. And then I work our way back to just getting off a plane, you know, or driving up in the car and go, I don't know.

Wait, this note. Here says, it's something about the leopard. Oh, no. You know, that'd be great. Exactly. Well, anyway, I'm so watching this thing. And David Crusoe, by the way, the point of that is I've seen his butt. Oh, yeah, yeah.

I've seen his butt like six times now. Zipowitz has not had his butt out. I don't know why. Let's get on that. I think that was a season finale. Like it was the cliffhanger. It was it? That poor girl, what's her name?

The district attorney lady. Anyway, oh, Dan Hadaia was in yesterday's episode. That was weird. Oh, that's cool. Played a crazy homeless guy. Anyway. Of course he did. I told you.

He claimed he killed somebody, but what he did was. I did not kill Loretta. He did say Loretta like that. I hate it. I forgot all about that, that weird blonde lady. All right. Anyway, Casey Kisem's wife. Boy, that's a rabbit.

Let's continue on about Italian accents. So there's this guy in the mob who's trying to buy off one of the cops, okay? And it's all a good storyline. It feels gritty and like it's the characters aren't doing important things and all that. But this accent. So I guess what I'm asking is if anyone's of Italian descent, they hear this accent, is it as bad as I think it is. Okay, so here's the first bit.

Life goes on, though, Janice. You got your own career to think about. I think you want to cooperate here. You don't want any bad publicity emerging. You see what I'm saying? It's comical. It's so over the top, like, Hey.

Don't listen to him, Gloria. It's basically that. You know, it's... It is. It is. It's a grand theft auto, basically. It's like... I studied all my Italian accents by watching Andrew Dice Clay and playing a lot of Grand Theft Donald.

Oh, very Andrew Dice Clay. That's a good comparison, actually. Yeah. So here's a little bit more later in the scene. Here's this. Up your ass with that license play, pal. Yeah, up your ass, sweetheart, right up your race with the shiny carp shield. It's just so, like, over the top, man.

Oh, my God. And the rest of the episode kind of realistic sort of leans on. some really realistic themes, really relatable stuff. Like the episode itself is not a problem, but this dude and he's wearing this big puffy 1992 looking like, I don't know what you call this

jacket of the time, but then big flared out pants, Italian loafers, like the whole thing. And he's like, hey, you want me to turn you in, you keep doing what I say. I'm furious with the cop shit. I'm walking here. Why do you touch

my hair? I work real hard. my hey. There you go, yeah. And that was Amy Brennaman, by the way, talking about Oh, I loved Amy Brenneman. She's great. Yeah, I forgot she was in there at all. All these people. She's, uh, Caruso's wife, right? Uh, girlfriend, side squeeze. Girlfriend. Yeah, that's right. The wife was, uh, what's her name from,

that went to ER right after this, um, Julie. Oh, right. I can't remember her real name, but Julie was her character. And she went to, yes. It was, it was famous at the time because they were having a really good first season and then she bailed. Sherry Stringfield, is that right? That's it. Yeah.

Yeah. And she was great on ER as well. And then he, Caruso, left after season two, I think. I'm nowhere near that. I'm still in season one. And this is back when you did 24 episodes per season. Not only that, it was back when all slow motion looked like that choppy five frame per second bullshit. Oh, right. Yes.

You know what I'm saying? So anytime we got shot. Like the Steve Austin, G, G, G, G, G, G, G. Yeah, but even worse. At least Steve Austin kind of had some,

you know how in the Lord of the Rings movies? Oh. The slow motion they do in those? Yeah. And it's just like, I don't know if you know what to call it. It's so bad. And that's what they did here.

And it's just shit. It's garbage. Thank goodness we have our iPhone slow motion now, which is so much better. It's so much better. Let's film all our movies in our phones, is what I'm getting at. That's what I like us to do.

That's right. So there you go. Oh, also a quick check from Dr. Nicky speaking of doctors, Mr. Calhoun there in the chat, Mr. Jizz in there. You have to listen to a pre-show. That's not going to be in any sense. Let's hear a pre-show, I guess. Let's hear a pre-show.

Boy, you know, you just might have actually brought a lot of people to be like, what, talking about Jiz. Pre-show? I'm a patron now. I'm a patron. Whatever. Here's my dollar. Yep. One dollar.

Done. Dr. Nicky wrote in. We love her. She says, a little check in with Dr. Nicky. Hey, guys, in case you're wondering, AI generated images of animals also have creepy fingers. Someone gave a scientific talk at my university about mice, and I was impressed how they had managed to get such precise and well-lit images of their mice doing experiments until I noticed they had nine fingers on each hand.

Oh, wow. Just trying to sneak one in. Doctor, faking the photos. Using the... It's permeating our entire society. Oh, man. Exactly. I had a guy yesterday, so Trump did his indictment thing yesterday.

Sure, sure. This is not political, everybody, so calm down. I'm just going to tell you that. fact. I did it. I knew what happened. It's not me. Anyway, this guy wrote in,

a fan wrote in and was saying, I guess he's a fan, but he was saying that he thinks that none of that actually happened, that the entire court visit was AI generated, and that it's all made up, that he wasn't really there. Of course.

And this is why all this is a problem. Right, of course, yes. Right, this is why this is a problem. It's not so much a problem that we can fake stuff. The problem is that people are so dumb, believe it. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Yeah. So welcome to the new, we are entering a new phase of dumb. I can't wait. It worries me because people, uh, people will be quick, you know, quick to act and, uh, quick to potentially get violent based on things they see that, that are generated, you know. Yeah, you could fake something up pretty quick that would, they would incite some. That was rile. Yes, exactly.

Yeah. So hopefully, hopefully are. smarter nature that I'm convinced most of us have will help calm the idiots down a little bit we'll play a little defense you know we'll try to clear the air here on the show we'll bust those stigmas you know we'll break them apart we will expose those lies those those mistruths

she also goes on to say and this is mostly for you I think because you're the one that suggested but she says also thanks for suggesting Turo she says in parentheses they should sponsor you hey we're open let us know It says I was able to rent a car from them in rural Colorado to take a trip to Black Canyon on the Gunnison N.P. I don't know what the N.P. is. Black Canyon and the Gunnison, I know, but I don't know what the N.P stands for. It must be a road or something. Anyway, which I would not have trusted my unreliable car to do normally. Five stars love the show, though, Dr. Nicky. Yeah, we've had a few people ride in, say Turo was real good for them.

it's such a you know basically it's the right share of car rentals and why give hurts 120 bucks a day for a car when you can do tour oh for um you know for like uh uh 30 25 30 plus it's a great way to try hey scott it's time for be real i'm gonna do be real of oh do it be real do it hey i'll do one too let's do be reals i like this you know what is yours always go off during the show no mine mine this is the earliest i've ever seen mine go off In recent weeks. Mine's do a late one. Oh, no, it's ready now. Yeah, mine too. No, it's, yours is good if everybody's at the same time. All right, I'm going to do this right here. Okay.

So why did it change, I wonder? What do you mean? It's not the normal time for me. There's not a normal time. It's a random time every day. Oh, is it always a random time? That I didn't know. It's always a random time.

Oh, I always thought I'm just late for it. So I thought it was the same time every day and I'm just missing it, you know? Because I'll get a thing saying, You're late for your B-Rill. I'm like, I know, I am every day. That's how I use B-reel. I come in late. Oh, it just, it posted my first one.

And then it said, do you want to post or be real? You've got a minute and a half. I'm like, oh, well, crap, all right. And then I did, so I just posted a second one. And basically, it's just like the same photo of you, except a photo number two is nice and sleepy. It's sleepy, Scott. Oh, is it sleepy me?

That's actually accurate. I slept like crap last night. Yeah, that's the point is that it's a random time. every day everybody gets the same time exactly and then you post it so it's like don't don't just take a picture when you have a beautiful sandwich take a picture when you're washing dishes too so what if it's in the middle of the night i guess they i don't think they well i don't know because what about other countries i know claire i think claire gets a different time be real than we do she must right they probably do it same time a day but depending on your time zone so you and i both

got the mountain time just now. No, because Tom, September just got hers, 9 of 12, TV's Travis. Oh, there's Lent as well. Yeah, Lens in there. I see that. Eichlor.

Yeah. Look at all these people watching us. Oh, there's Bobby. So I think the U.S. all gets at the same time, but then I guess other countries get a different time that's all of their time zones. Oh, okay. Well, that's how you learned of...

All of Europe or something. That's how we learn to be real, everyone. I kind of enjoy that app more lately than I did initially. I do too, because it's so, it just is so requires, okay, let's explain here because there's people out and they're saying, what the heck is a be real? All right, Be Real is an app. Tom told us about this two years ago at TMS Vegas, or a year ago at TMS Vegas, and it is a social media app that instead of saying, take a picture and post any time you want and

show us what your cool life is is all you know all looks like it's no uh it's 935 you have two minutes to take a photo yeah or it's 418 you have two minutes to take a photo it's whatever it's 1236 you have two minutes to take a photo right because it's going to be what you're doing right then in your real life so that other people can see uh what you're doing in real life right and it's cool it is it's cool it's a it's a clever alternative to the the the Twitters and the Facebooks and the stuff like that. Yeah. And it feels a lot tighter of a thing.

It's my kids. It's my nephews and nieces. It's my, you know, some family. It's you guys. It's like people in the tadpool. It's just a much tighter sort of less anything goes sort of thing. I mean, it's still anything goes, but it just feels more of a, these are friends. I'm not, I'm not going to put a picture of me flipping off Ted Cruz or something.

You know what I mean? It's just going to be me doing whatever I'm doing. It's just a different approach. And people can't discover you outside of your little circle. outside of the people that you're friends with unless you say oh okay make me you know make me public which i'm not going to make myself no don't be public we don't want to be we're public in enough places we can you know we're we're going to be private here we're going to Brian's going to show you his privates that's all it's going to happen that's right exactly so if you

want to friend us uh coverville on be real and Scott Johnson I believe it's just straight up Scott Johnson or frog pants let me see you are frog pants I'm frog pants and that's all just Frog pants. Yes. No numbers or anything weird. Yeah, add us up. Hook us up, yo. Hook us up. All right. Let's do this. Brian Dunaway, welcome to the show. How are you? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. I am doing not great. Oh, what? What's going on? Well, you guys know I've been taking my papa back and forth to the doctor. And so, you know, I've been in and out of the hospitals hanging around. in the rooms and stuff. So I've got a cocktail of whatever the hell's in the hospital.

You know what I'm saying? It's kind of like when you go on your little con, you come by with your con crud. It's like, what do you have exactly? Well, I have a whole slew of interesting symptoms. I have no idea what I have.

So basically it's like everything. You've just basically dined at the buffet of, I might as well have just licked the floor is what I'm thinking. I just go ahead and get it over with it. I've decided for hospitals, I'll still wear a mask in there just because that's where everyone who's sick is they're all sick in there right but i mean the you know isn't the oh we want to talk about mask anyway um so yes it's going to work it's well i mean it's spreading germs what was the theory

spreading germs if i wear a mask i'm not spreading them as much you wear the mask to prevent you from giving anything less if i'm walking around an old man old man death is ever here going yeah but you still if you're like a full-on gas mask on if you're if you're wearing an n95 though you do increase your chances of not getting it. It may not be 100%, but there's a reason doctors and surgeons and everybody wears that shit. Well, I think it's also of how long your exposure is too.

Like, uh, but we, like I say, why are we talking about math? You know what I hate? I hate. I feel bad. I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate it. I hate it. Why, we can't talk about them without people going, I, like, my ass talk. Yeah, or that's having to do like some kind of, we have to do some kind of disclaimer every time. I freaking hate it. I do. I don't do. I also hate talking about social issues.

I'm like, oh, no, this person of your is homeless. Why has always got to be politics? I'm like, well, the fucker just needs some help. He's the language, but he just, he's homeless. I mean, you're left to have an agenda. I hate it, dude. That's why we're a no agenda. We're changing the name.

I've never been to politics. Somewhere along the lines, people started saying, all the things you're saying are political. I'm like, no, the things I'm saying are human, and they've become political things now. Yeah. Yeah. F those guys.

That's all I'm saying. All right. Look, oh, we got a person who's ready. Should we bring them in? Please. We're going to bring a person in. And that person is caller number three. Discord caller number three.

It's Katrina. Oh, yay. Yeah. We love Katie. Oh, there she is. Hi, Katie. How are you? Are you there?

Hi, how are you? Let me turn off the stream real quick. Yeah, just mute. us on there. Let's our turn down your radio. Yeah. You're all good. It's good to have you here.

How are you doing? I know you've had kind of a month. Are you doing all right? Yeah, I'm hanging in there. Yeah. Good. How are things in perump? Perump.

No, it's nice, blue skies. Clear. Is it mayhem there too, though, with the Stanley Cup or no? Is it... Yeah, do they care in Perump about the win? I think so. I don't know. I haven't heard anything.

Nobody was blown with fireworks or anything as far as I know with the last one. All right. That usually that uses any excuse they can for fireworks out here. That's true. Of course. It's a good place to do it where everything's really dry. It's a great idea. Well, we have like five fireworks stores in the town.

Oh, wow. That just run all that all. There's one that's 24 hours. Oh, geez. You need your effect. You must live right. You can find them. Yeah, like, who are you at like 2 a.m.?

You just got to have your fireworks, you know? That's just crazy. It's really dispensary so you can go from one right to the other. That's right. We kind of have that with any state border town that the board is a state of one where they're illegal. They always set up some 24-hour shop right across the line so people can get there. That's how we'd get ours. A lot of that stuff like bottle rockets, M-80s, that kind of stuff was illegal when I was a kid.

So we'd have to go over, we'd go to Windover. And they had these stands that would just like, yep, here you go. Here's all the artillery. What you want, son? Yep. my parents hated that I'd go there I want to blow up some shit I just saw

I should have taken a picture of it I still might but we now get the tents you know popping up all over town for 4th of July right because it's it's three weeks away so people have to start buying their stuff so we've got all the tents popping up

the one right by our house or closest to our house is called Jurassic fireworks because when you think fireworks you think dinosaurs sure always you know that's how they went out is my understanding.

They're big-dine and mating. Exactly mishandling of explosives. Yeah. I remember my favorite thing to get in Wendover, though, were those little lady fingers. You couldn't get those anywhere else. And they were these tiny,

they were called lady fingers. They were tiny little, tight little firecrackers that were really small, like the size of the... Oh, they were dainty like some... What are those Virginia Slims? They were kind of like... Virginia Slims of Firecrackers? Kind of, yeah.

The firecrackers that are made for women. But they were really... They were so compressed that they would really... really explode and take out like whole ant hills and stuff it was great wow did you have the uh did you have the bottle rocket on a stick no stick bottle rockets you're talking about the ones you'd you put on the road and you go okay run no is basically yeah we called it we called it uh we called it uh rocket roulette i think is the name we called it yeah yeah yeah let me was just like somebody thought it was a good idea it's like yep uh we've lost all the sticks of these these things are gonna

go everywhere yeah i've told that story i've told that story about how the neighbor lady walked out One of them without a stick went flying randomly up her skirt and exploded on her hip. Oh, my gosh. Now, there's a lady finger. We got in trouble. Big trouble for that. I spent probably a week or two washing stuff of hers, mowing her lawn, all that kind of crap. I'm so sorry.

Anyway. I'm sorry about blowing up for your lady here. I'm sure her lawn was burnt off. Yeah, well, her poor hip, though. I saw it explode out the side. The poor hip, how was she 80? No, I mean like it exploded on her, you know? She probably still has a scar and looks at it fondly.

I don't know. We call this Johnson. Well, here's what we're going to do. We're going to play a game. And Katie is in the running to win some prizes. Only, I love one of these is one of the prizes. Anyway, Brian, you're going to have to explain this and tell her what she's going to win. All right.

Well, it's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Now, Katie, 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 get a prize package that includes Death Squared and Lust from Beyond M edition. All right. So a quick note, I had to play Lust from Beyond because the developer sent me a code.

He sent me a code says, we'll give you this code, but you have to play it on, you know, you have to do some content. And so I did. Now, the version I had was just very suggestive. My understanding is, it's just a shooter kind of puzzly thing set in like some hellscape. It's all like very gross. But the M edition, my understanding is that one's got like full on people doing it with devils and stuff. Right. It's like the mature edition, M edition.

Yeah. So I would say if you're, if there was one of these, you would want to pass on to some friend of yours who's into such things, you certainly can do that. What if I'm in doing? Yeah, hey, no judgment. You do what you want. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Let's go for the M edition.

You got it. What's doing on this photo from the game? Okay. All right. See? It's a weird. I'll be at my bunk. Yeah.

I'll be in my bunk. All right. Well, that sounds great. Whistle chasers in the, what's what they was called a post them. Whistle chasers? Oh, wait, where? Did you put this? There we go.

It is. You put it in our chat. Yeah. Oh, look at that. Got some whistle chasers. Mr. W. It travels along the ground upon ignition. A horrible idea.

sorry we've been talking a long time we apologize we called you to play a game yeah exactly we well you called us let's get to it uh it's uh we asked 359 tadpoolers 26 of them said i don't really have an answer to that or i don't want to answer that and i'll explain once we get there uh put your hands on your buzzers what's your favorite pickled food oh shoot Uh, pickles, dill pickles. Pickles. Show me just your rent-of-the-mill cucumbers. Number one.

Yeah, let's get that one out of the way, shall we? Yeah, it seemed obvious to me. Number one answer on the board. I'm proud that so many of them knew that pickles were cucumbers. Everybody, you think it's pretty logical for us, but. Yeah. I'm not saying all 147 of them put cucumbers. I'm saying that's a new, that's a new information for somebody.

today. I think so. What? Those are cucumbers? What? Oh man, I would love to be that person. I love when I discover new things as obvious as that. That's great.

Katie, you're going to be teamed up with Scott here so the two of you can work together. Nine answers left on the board. Name the Tadpool's favorite pickled foods. All right, Katie, what do you think? What about pickled beats? Pickled beats are good. We do like a pickled beet here at the Johnson home. Let's say a pickled beet.

Pickled Beets by Dre. Yes, they'll turn your peake colors. Show, or your poop, actually. I believe you. Pickled Beets by Dre. Oh, nice. Yeah, number four answer on the board. Brian, I think we've done away.

You'd like them. You'd like them done away. I think I just got trying. No, we pickle everything around here, and everybody's always trying to, you don't like this pickled? No, no, I won't. You get like a weird, like a weird little witch that lives in the bayou that says, I've got whistlers.

I don't like that you're asking it like that. I don't like that you're asking it like that. Is relish? Is that the thing I'm looking for? I think relish. I think I'm not trying to give me an answer. I'm not trying to give you relish. Basically, that's chopped up pickles.

No, it's not got other stuff to the right? It's got that goo in there. I don't know what it is. Yeah. All right. I'm going with, uh, let's, let's pickle those. Uh, these people are crazy in the chat room. Cow chow, hot sausage.

Why would you do that to me? The good news is Katie wins either way. Like, for you to win by the board. Oh, that's true. If I run the board, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Oh, that's good. Oh, then we've got it.

We got this then. Okay. My grandpa was always pickled. It wasn't my favorite. Let's see. Your pickled grandpa was. Isn't it your favorite pickle? He's your favorite grandpa, but not your favorite pickle.

Right, right, right, right. Now, tell you about the time he peed in the refrigerator. Anyway, let's see. Wow. You've got to be drunk to do that. I bet you plenty of people have that story. He pickled the milk. He pickled the bread.

He pickled the eggs. He pickled the entire grocery lineup. All right, so I'm going to go with, so you didn't say the other pickles. So let's go with pickle. I don't have any strikes. Just let's go on crazy. Let's just do that. Let's pickled jalapeno pepper.

All right, show me, I've made these myself and quite fond of the recipe I found for these. Show me pickled jalapenoos. Number five. One answer left on the board. Okay. Man, lust from beyond M edition is almost hers. Let's do it. I know.

That is crazy. It's hers. It's definitely hers. Yeah, it's hers either way. Yeah. But let's really send it home. Yeah. at home with a bow on it, you know?

By you get out of it. Katie, send me some screenshots once you start playing it. I see that BioCal, who I love, is yelling, olives. Pickled olives. Let's go with pickling me some olives. Yeah, good choice. All right.

Is the last answer on the board, pickled olives? Oh, it's a shame. Surprisingly, it's not. But yeah, olives do get pickled. Isn't it how you, yeah, that's the only way you make olives, right? Yeah.

Do you pickle green ones, I believe. I don't know if the black ones are pickled as well. The black ones are fermented. Oh, yum. By the way, that was number 15 on the list. Oh, we did make it. I did say olives. They just didn't say enough.

Katie, how do you feel about pears? Pickled pears are a thing. Yeah, I've had those. They're gross, but I've had them. They're gross, but they might be up there. They're not my favorite. All right. Pickle pears.

Show me. Bears Damn it No damn it no pairs beats Battlestar Galactica

but no bear What you got right Star Galactica um God there's got to be something weird that people like to pickle on here

I see pickle stuff all the time Yeah I can't imagine look we do everything to a peanut around here because we're it's the south

right and it is the south it's yeah we're in the peanut region we boil them we bake them we do everything I've ever seen done to a peanut.

I've never seen a pickled... Put them in a stew. Yeah, I've never seen a pickled peanut, but I feel like, that just feels like something that these weirdos would do. Okay, all right. Yeah.

Show me a pickle peanut. Uh, no, no. Don't even think anybody's that pickled peanuts on the... Well, that's probably because it's not a thing. It does exist, though. No, I've had them. They're real, but they're not...

Yeah, Kim's done them, but they're not like, um, I don't think they're popular. Yeah, nobody, nobody's... Nobody in the chats, everybody loves to pick with the potato chips yeah but it's not your turn

let's do it's not your turn all I got left is like I know sometimes people do tomatoes like green tomatoes will get pickled

I actually like those those are really good like green tomatoes but I don't know if the chat would say it just doesn't feel like something I'd say I'm like what about like

diacon I wonder if diacon's separate I'll tell you right now if it was people said diacon rannish, I put it in with kimchi. Because that is primary. Okay, fair enough.

Kimchi is the pickled result, much like pickles result, much like pickles or the cucumber result. Right. Oh, well, Kim does pickled asparagus, but I don't know if anyone else does. Oh. That might be weird.

It's good. I've seen that in the chat room a couple of tests. Yeah, pickled tomatoes. Yeah, pickled, uh, so yeah, see, tomatoes feels more common. But maybe it isn't, it's just in my head. Shit, we'll just say tomatoes. do tomatoes. Let's lock it in.

Show me tomatoes. Damn it. Tomatoes. I'm going to wrap this thing up. I'm going to win or lose. And I'm going to go with the chat room and go, hey, why don't we pickle some cauliflower, mom? Oh, sure. Yeah.

Jordan era, right? That's primary ingredient of Jordan era. All right. Show me, I believe it is. Show me cauliflower. Oh, no. It's all over. But that's all right.

Katie, you still win. You still get Death Squared and Lust from Beyond M Edition. What could that last one be? It's funny because one of you is from the South, and I figure this is like the most southern pickled thing ever. Have any of you been to a black-eyed pee? Any of you? No.

No. Show me number nine. Okra. Gosh, dang it. I should have guessed that my mom was eating okra yesterday. Why didn't I think of that? Slimy-ass freaking. I'm going to say the slimyest.

I don't like it. I'm not an ochre guy. Does the pickle reduce to slimyness or increase the slimminess? Probably increase it. Yeah, I'd say probably increase it. Here's what you want to do with okra. This is my favorite form. You freeze, not freeze dry it?

It's a drying way. Dehydrated? Dehydrated, that's it. You salt it up though real good. And then you do dehydration. It loses that slime. business all together, and they're just tasty little, crunchy little buggers. You kind of like use the slug murder on it.

You do the, yeah, you hydrate it and throw some salt on it. Anti-slug, anti-slug treatment. That's great. Not that I condone anybody pouring salt on a slug, gross. Right. By the way, the chat room does point out that mostly in the south, it's deep-fried okra. And they do, but they do pick up and we've gotten the pickled okra ourselves. Absolutely.

Well, this is good news. Scott Fletcher would say this. Congratulations. You're a winner. That's right, Katie. You're a winner of these two fantastic games, one of which might contain some very offensive material. Brian's going to send those over to you via Discord,

and you'll be off to the races. They're both esteem games, of course. And having you on is just a treat. How do you feel about your win? I am looking forward to some mature content. Nice. Well, let us know how it goes. Hey, Brunaway.

Hey, Johnson, huh. And assuming your hospital crud doesn't get any worse, we're going to plan on doing a play retro tonight. I'll just, I'll just do like I did today. I'll just drug up about 30 minutes before it. Nice. Yeah, we'll just. Yeah, we'll make it work. It should be really frenetic.

Do you want to tell the fine folks at home what we're covering tonight? Yeah, absolutely. We're doing Marvel versus Capcom. We're starting at X-Men v. Street Fighter and working our way to Marvel versus Capcom. We're just going to do the first one. Everything that is basically 2D, we're not going to do the second. one, but I've learned so much about the Capcom system boards and the video games. I didn't play a lot of streetfighter growing up, Moral Combat, but a huge fan of the X-Men

stuff. So I've learned a lot of it. You know what else is crazy? It's seriously what's crazy about them. The relationship, Capcom had a really good relationship with Disney way back in the day. They were doing all these Disney ports and different Disney games, and they were good. They were really good Disney games that were like. and to Capcom to make.

Marvel, not owned by Disney back then, but they also had this deal with Marvel to do these Marvel crossovers. I don't know what it means for today, but now it's all in one pot. I don't think they do any of this anymore. Or no, there was a recent, I think there was kind of a recent Marvel versus they did. I know that the one-up guys have created a few,

like great cabinets that collected all of the Marvel versus. So good Hey, but you're a Marvel guy So do you know Okay, so you know Marvel They used to name all their stuff Like they would go It wouldn't just be like

You're reading the Fantastic Four I was like Fantastic Four And then some subtitle Oh sure Like yeah Do you remember what they What they originally called X-Men? It was like X-Men

I mean there was the uncanny X-Men from uh and it was um children of the atom there you go children of the atom there was a game that was uh street fighter style that same kind of engine and it was x-men uh children of the atom i did not know that that's right i remember that and it like it was the first time you saw a lot of x-men characters in video game form and it was like oh my god they look great here's silo fighting with you know magneto and silver samurai and yeah we were those things were since this was like the late 90s we had we had mastered. We had some people that

were just absolute masters at Sprite animation, and these things are gorgeous. Yeah, it was the height of that stuff, man. Right around this time I want to say Street Fighter Alpha 2 or something came out. The Alpha 2 was right in that cooking. Silky, silky smooth, man, I love.

And the PlayStation couldn't do it, baby, but the Sega Saturn could. That's right. Oh my gosh. The Saturn was great at 2D. Anyway, we'll talk all about that later today. 330 Mountain Time. Check it out live at FrogPants. TV. In the meantime, Brian Dunaway, suck our butts. No, you.

All right. Ew. Ew. Indeed. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt, we'll be joining us. Do a little tech discovery, you know? Find out what's going on in the tech world.

So that's coming up soon. We'll have recommendals after that. But first, Brian's going to play a mid-song. What do you got? Here's our indie in the middle. Scott, can you name six impossible things? Yes. Flying, bursting into flames.

I'm thinking I'll hear. year old stuff um sure sure uh drinking 400 gallons of water in 30 seconds and what's the is that four that's four i will say that's three but that counts that's good enough all right uh here's one more um uh wrap my body and tape and never take it off again until i die all of these things seem impossible to do excellent excellent uh nicely done how about a band called uh six impossible things. They're an Italian dream pop duo. I love, you know, I love my dream pop, just that shoegazy kind of, kind of stuff. They have a brand new EP called the physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living. Wow. This is their first band single after two EPs

released as a duo. And you like him if you like Boy Genius, Beach House, and Ethel Cain. Here is the first single. It is called 20-something. Here is six impossible things. Every night that can't sleep and I lay here If a person are full, I feel lost tonight These two times Tar-a-Tan-Tana Tar-a-da Tar-tah

Every time it was me and my friends lost in the middle of something else you've got to come in here. Ta-da-ta-ta-da-da-da. Ta-da-da. Ta-la-ta-da. I missed the space we used to fro away. I miss those lights, you know we're going to find And now those frames of our lives It's out of our hands

Just like the sand We got us keeping glasses Always down to smoke a foolback We didn't give a fuck about any further da-da-ta-ta-da Yeah, we didn't give a fuck about that a fete-ta-da-da-da Da-da

I missed those days We used to prove the way I missed this night You know we're going to be hurt And now those springs are lives The death are alive Just let the same I'm

The glass to see by the echo But I say the song's the world here I'm looking back Because I'm getting I miss those days we used to throw away I missed those nights you know we're going to find And now those waves are our lives Sit down to our hands

Just like the sad I missed those days we used to throw away I miss those nights you know we're going to Here's life and now the newest game of all the ages. It's made by the age. It's made by Mattel. How many times are you going to ask me that? What do you think I'm like, stupid?

I don't think you're stupid. Tell me who that was again. Who was that? Sure. That was six impossible things and their brand new single 20-something. Nice. Yeah. Seems all right to me.

I like that kind of music as well. Although when you said Italian, I heard this. Life goes on, though. That guy again. I heard them. But I don't think that's what it sounds like. Uh, hey, look who it is, everybody. We got a little time for some tech maybe.

And if we do, we got to play this. The world of tomorrow will be as cold as sunlight tuned through photochromic windows. You know, of all the clips I play for Tom over the years, I don't know, I don't know what that guy's talking about. You know, like photochromic rays and cold. I don't get it. Well, that might be a Bobby conversation, actually. Yeah, maybe Bobby and between Bobby and our pal Tom here, they could figure it out. But it is Tom.

And Dr. Nicky on that, man. That's right. Yeah, there you go. Hey, it's good to have you back. As always, we do this on Wednesdays. Tom comes on, talks about some of the latest tech going on. And I'm sure there's something brewing today. It feels like it's been a really busy couple of weeks tech-wise, doesn't it?

Yeah, no, it has. We had the gaming festival and the WWDC. But the internet's over, Scott. Oh, we're done. Okay. No more internet. We've finished the internet. Reddit shut it down.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Oh, geez. Everybody protests. on Reddit. Are we, one of the places I would go to get weird articles for this show

was a Reddit page that I am now locked out of because of this protest. Everyone's locked out. Not just you. Yeah, it sucks. I don't like it. Yeah.

Do you rely on Reddit for Google search? There's an article from, I think it's Jay Peters, on the verge about how he had come to rely on adding Reddit to the end of many of his searches

because what he was searching for would always be on Reddit. And if he didn't search with Reddit in the search, he would get less relevant results. So, for example, one of the examples he gave was, you know, trying to work through a part of Tears of the Kingdom. If he just did a search for that, he would get, you know, a bunch of clickbait. But if he put Reddit, he'd get a bunch of people playing the game discussing it on Reddit. And his point being that exact subreddit that he was getting his Tears of the Kingdom help from is now dark during this 48-hour protest. Yeah, it had a way of reminding everyone how much certain corners of the internet are just givens, like we just expect to get those results.

When I search, I use duck, dot go all the time, and it seems to favor a lot of Reddit results for whatever reason. I don't know how there's works, but I'll get a lot of Reddit results, especially for game-related stuff. And you're right, like that stuff just is always there for you. If I don't want to go sit or sift through a bunch of videos on YouTube and try to find the right one for what I'm asking, which is sometimes a huge pain in the butt going to Reddit is often the quick easy way it's like oh this guy's got a very short paragraph on exactly what I want to do and even these results are saying it

but yeah in the last 48 hours those are taking me to dead pages or to pages that are saying you know they'll have a message about why they're why they're part of the protest or or whatever in the case of the one that I used to do it just says you have to apply to be in here so go ahead and do that and then we'll let you know and that but I was already applied in part of it before the shutdown. Oh, really? Weird. So they're just, I don't know if

that's just a different way of going dark. Yeah. And I don't know if they're actually actively approving people or just using that as the way to make the point. Part of me is annoyed how dependent we are on something like Reddit or I guess it's the feeling of here's a basket with a lot of eggs in it. You know? Yeah.

Although, and there's a lot of good and interesting talk about decentralization, maybe using Activity Pub, which powers Mastodon, to make a Reddit style thing, which you could totally do if you get enough people on board. I don't know. What's interesting is this isn't a company using its centralization to shut people off. This is a decentralized community of moderators, which Reddit has always encouraged, right? They don't centralize moderation.

They decentralized moderation using their decentralized power to protest a change. Right. Because the change itself, A, hasn't had an effect yet, and B, when those third-party apps stop wanting to, or when those 30-party apps have to start paying the high rates to access the API on July 1st, and most of them have decided they just won't. When those go away, that would have an effect, but it wouldn't shut off Reddit. It would mean you'd have to use either the web or the official Reddit app. I think this is this is fascinating because it's the decentralized portion of Reddit that is that is causing the outrage. And granted, if you had an activity pub central, you know, decentralized system, you wouldn't have the same motivations to, you know, have an IPO and raise the API or charge for the API. But you could have something else.

I mean, think about Mastodon. the Mastodon server is by far the biggest Mastodon server. And they're not going to do an IPO, but what if they did something else? Yeah, they could. And everybody got upset and started to de-federalize with the main Mastodon server. Right, which brings back to the same problem. I don't know, it's an interesting aspect of this that I'm paying attention to because it is the mods exercising their power.

Right. They keep dropping these things about the Reddit CEO trying to manage this. Um, he just said something to the effect was, well, he actually literally said this one will pass the way all blowups do. It was in a memo yesterday to the staff that leaked out. Yeah. And now the moderators are even more pissed and more digging their let their feet in. So a bunch of them were only going to go dark for 48 hours. Some of them had already said we're going to go dark all the way to June 30th, uh, which is when the new API fees kick in. And now more of them are saying they're going to continue some of them saying we're going to continue indefinitely now. We're, we're, we're not saying when we stop. It's always stuff that's perceived, at least, as greed. Like, I don't know enough about this one to say, oh, yes, it's 100% greed. But it's always these sorts of things in gaming and this, whatever. It's always said.

I think seeing this as 100% greed is unenlightening, and you won't be able to really understand it. Yeah, I agree. It isn't just Steve Huffman going, ha, ha, ha, I will rake in all the coins. It doesn't make sense. And if you read The Verges interview with Christian Selig from the Apollo third party app, He also is like, yeah, no, I know they were doing an IPO and they needed to charge for the API. He has no problem with that. It is not them trying to make a profit that he has a problem with.

He also wants to make a profit on the Apollo app. Nobody's mad about people making money. What selling is upset about, and in this article it comes off very reasonable, is like, I can't make the math work. Like, it's too expensive, and they won't talk to me. That's the part that really stuck out to me is they won't even negotiate. They won't even talk. They announced a change in April, didn't tell him the price or any of the developers the price for six weeks, and then slapped him with an admittedly high API.

I still can't tell if it's entirely unreasonable, but it's certainly something that will keep selling from being in business. And this isn't him having sour grapes. now that I've read his actual, you know, at length talk about this, it's him going like, yeah, the math just doesn't work. If they would, you know, cut that price in half or possibly give me more time, they keep saying my apps too inefficient with calls, maybe it is, but I need more than 30 days to adapt to that.

Plus, I have yearly subscribers that I just have to eat the cost on that I can't change their subscriptions. I need more time to deal with that. It does seem that Reddit is just rushing this. and just having an IPO doesn't explain that. Plenty of companies have IPOs and plan far ahead on their monetization strategies. So I'm not sure what's really going on inside the executive branch of Reddit. But it's not just greed.

It's something else. It's a little something. Yeah, that's a very non-nuance take to say it's just greed for sure. Also, maybe, hey, maybe I'll go back to dig, you know? Maybe it's time. Oh, wow. You're not the first person I've heard say that, yeah. Yeah, which I, you know, I'm not.

Because everyone was, no one ever had a complaint about dig. Yeah, dig was never an issue. In fact, you know, I'm old enough, obviously, to remember the thing that really gave Reddit its rise, which was this sort of, is it dig or is it Reddit? And it ended up being Reddit for a lot of reasons. And you don't want to lose that thing, that Twitch is going through this. That kind of like, hey, man, that was us, that we were part of that when we were, you know, like that sort of thing.

Having that go away, or the more of that you lose, the more you put yourself in a potential risk position of something else is going to come and usurp you. I think that's harder to do now because these things are so freaking big. I don't like the term too big to fail, but, you know, if Twitter was as bad as we all said it is, we'd have moved on. But we can't. Why? I don't know. I don't know what the difference is today, but it feels like Reddit's in the same boat. So anyway, time will tell. Part of me wonders if this is the inevitable swing of the pendulum towards decentral.

that I have often said continues to happen on the internet. You know, we go from, we go from, uh, news groups to AOL, to open forums to Friendster and Facebook, you know, like, I'm wondering if this, this is just what this looks like, you know, and up close, it's puzzling, but when you pull back, you're like, well, forget the individual instances. It's just the overall pressure of having to run centralized systems that, that is, is crumbling. and it's going to force people to come up with alternatives. Well, my happiest part about all of it

is that we'll be able to talk about it in length on the Daily Tech News show, a reasonable measured approach to tech news that doesn't involve... But don't let that stop you from listening. That's why I love it. But, you know, whatever. Whatever gets you the clicks, people,

do what you got to do. Over here at DTNS, they give you the real business. Anyway, that'll be today. And I love being on Wednesday, so excited to have it be a Wednesday topic. anything else going on that you'd like to mention, Tom? Well, yeah. So I know that I can be a little too reasonable sometimes.

That's one of the reasons that people like it when Molly would and I podcast. Like on the It's a Thing podcast that we do together. But I know a lot of folks are like, yeah, but I want to hear you and Molly talk about tech news. Because when you play off each other, it's fun. So we got Molly to agree to come on at least once a month if we can get the Daily Tech News show, patron up to a 4,000 paid patron level. We're just a few hundred away

from that right now. So we have until the API charges kick in, coincidentally enough. June 29th, we're going to plan on having Molly on June 30th if we hit this goal. So those of you who are already supporting us on Patreon, thank you very much. Please

hold fast to help us stay on course to that goal. But if any of you aren't, or maybe you let the patronage lapse, and it wasn't intentional. Come on back. Now's the time. Patreon.com slash DTNS.

I would recommend that as well. Tom Merritt, he is Ace Detect on Twitter. Speaking of social media, if you want to follow him there, you can. You probably already do. Tom, we look forward to having you back next week. Have a great one, and we'll see you then. Thanks, y'all.

Bye now, Tom Merritt. Oh, shit. I can't hang up on Tom. All right, there you go. All righty then. Hey, you guys. Have you seen anything cool streaming? because now it'd be the time to talk about it.

Oh, good. Oh, as a matter of fact. As a matter of fact, I do. Let's get the Randy Jordan in here. I don't know where, is he in Canada taking this call? He's in Canada, yes. Okay. I love that the factor meals got to his place and he's not there to get him.

Right. We'll figure that out. Anyway, hey, let's see what we got right here, right here. Well, what do you recommend? Yes, Randy Jordan joining us from his vacation getaway up in Canada. It's good to have you on, Randy. How are you? Good, Bartigand's dream. I'm doing great. Are you?

I'd like you to know that I've removed all the stacks of my document boxes from my bathroom. Yeah, great. Oh, good. Yeah, it sounds more of an echo in there now. All I wanted was to have plenty of things to read while sitting on the can. Sure, sure. And I know you've been asking me, why am I sitting on the toilet for seven hours a day? Doesn't everybody, doesn't everybody? I mean, it feels like everyone does, right? It does.

I do. I support your position. It's normal. I think this is all very normal. It's all very normal. No political subtext here at all people at all. There's no, don't try to infer anything. He's just talking about a bathroom full of documents.

That's it. That's all it is. And you need something to read on the can ever since you got kicked off Twitter. I mean, it's all very, it's very normal. That's right. Yeah, exactly. Very, very normal. Thank you.

I'm glad we all agree. I'm glad we do, too. Great. I really appreciate you guys getting me all hungry for pickles. I'm like really hungry for pickles right now. So thank you. What are your options in Canada? You can go get some pickles, right?

You can do some stuff. Oh, they have all of them. Everything you named and more. Yeah, that's great. That's good to know. They got Geddy Lee and they got pickles and they got it. Yes. Yeah.

What else they got up there? Many things. Yeah. So many things. You get the Putein. Jeff Seier up there. Timbits and pickled timbits. Pickle tibbets.

Pickle putteen. Yeah. Pickled Jeff Sire. Can't wait to have some of that. Anyway, well, let's get right to it. We got some recommendals to do. Randy's remote on his, but we do have a clip for both of you. And let's start with Brian.

It is tradition. Brian, do you have anything you want to say about your clip? This is a four-part documentary. Another one? Two weeks in a row? Brian's recommending documentaries? What has happened to the world? Love it. I loved your first one. Well, I'm excited. Oh, that American Gladdy is so good. Yeah. Well, let's find out what we got here. Here's your clip.

Did you ask him why you did it? I don't want to put words in his mouth because obviously I want him to speak for himself and say why. I think it's better for people to hear it from him as well, why he did it. I feel like that was the only way to do it, to, you know, record parts of the conversations that we had. He's never had a chance to speak for himself and to tell what actually happened. He was told not to talk about this at all. People need to hear from Lee. My world was no more than anybody else's, you know.

We worked with a team. and try to do it as much as easy as possible. We just walked into that was supposed to be one of the most secure buildings in England. I mean, you just walked in and just walked out. And that's what we've done. All right.

No idea, but I'm in. This is a documentary called Catching Lightning. This is about the Securitas Depot robbery that took place in 2006 in Tunbridge in England, but it's UK's

largest cash heist. And the commercials for this, I think we saw them before Yellow Jackets or something, it was like, oh, my God, this looks great. Because it has my favorite things about a heist, right? You've got the quick cuts of like what each person did, but then you've got like nicknames, everybody's got nicknames. This guy's stopwatch, and this guy's Shorty, and this guy's Mr. Average. Yeah, these are all real, these are all real nicknames that the police gave each of the people involved with this heist. But at the center of it is a mixed marshal. arts guy

American English Moroccan mixed martial arts fighter named Lee Murray who kind of got kicked out of the sport because he got basically involved prior to this involved in some altercations that technically weren't his fault but caused

problems for him because somebody got hurt in a fight that he tried to break up Lee Murray very famously challenged Tito Ortiz after a fight in Las Vegas and just basically got notoriety from there

but then got involved with this Securitas Depot robbery and got away with 53 million pounds over 53 million pounds what's crazy is how the police got them. It's crazy hearing about what each person

did and how they got away with it, how they really almost like Oceans 11 tried to do it in such a way that nobody got hurt, but people felt threatened enough that they would do what needed to be done. But it's fascinating. And this four-part documentary

talks about all of that stuff, the background. And this is reenactments documentary? Yeah. There's a lot of reenactments in this. Yeah, sometimes it's done poorly. We've talked about that on previous recommendals. This one, I think, was done very well. It was, it's very subtle, and it's mixed in with a lot of camera footage, so you kind of forget.

At points you're looking, whether you're looking at real stuff or reenactment stuff. The, oh, who's the documentarian? There's like a, the person who did the documentary is, Emmy Award winning and I have to find it Someone we might know from another Yes Catching Lightning

Documentary Director I should have had this in front of me Pat Condellis That name is familiar What other stuff? I'm about to tell you What Pat Condellis

has also done And the Outcry miniseries 2020 documentary about the real life story of high school football star Greg Kelly who was arrested convicted in jail for sexual assault of a four-year-old for which he got an Emmy Award

there was another Showtime documentary also disgraced Oh, that one I know The 2003 murder of Baylor University basketball player Patrick Dennehy Yeah, that's an older one but I remember that Okay, yeah, that name is familiar That's cool. You know, good documentaries

are my favorite thing in the world And I figure while people have Showtime from watching Yellow Jackets or whatever they might be watching, it's a good time to slip in a really cool four-part true crime document. Well, the true crime documentary is going to be true, right? It's going to be true. Crime documentary about a really cool heist. I've got a new doc on I just noticed on Showtime while I was looking at this. They have a new documentary called We Need to Talk about Cosby.

Oh, boy, that might be interesting. Anyway. Oh, I've seen commercials for that too, and it looks heavy. Yeah, it looks very heavy. Does it star Hannibal Burroughs? No, but it probably deals with him. It's a series. I'll bet he's in there.

That guy, that guy made a thing for himself. Well, anyway, I would, I will see this. This sounds, it's a heisty. I like heist. It's heisty and it's really well done. Yeah, very, very, not dry at all. You get the full first episode is really background on Lee Murray, this MMA fighter and the stuff he did leading up to the heist. And then you get right into the heist with,

episode two and interviews and as you heard in the clip it features a lot of audio clips um that his ex-girlfriend recorded during conversations that they were able to use for the documentary oh wow wow is that her is that what we were hearing there was that her that's what you're hearing that was her and uh recorded uh him basically saying yeah we walked in did what we need to do and walked out with 53 million pounds wow okay i just rewatched uh i think we talked about last week but I did turn right around and watch Inside Man again because it was on Netflix. I think it may have left already. But that put me in the big time heist mood.

Oh, yeah. So this would be right. Perfect time to watch Catching Lightning. If you can take a break from your recommendal long enough to do so. That's right. By the way, Denzel Washington underappreciated in that movie. He's very good. Oh, yeah.

One of his best. All right. There was an ask Reddit the other day that was what actor in a role is irreplaceable. You could not possibly have anybody else have done it and pulled it off. And Denzel, Washington, came up multiple times. He was like, he has made roles that are only his. Yeah, I think that's fair. That guy's amazing.

We don't, I mean, he's, he gets, he's rated. It's not like he's underrated. Obviously, he's a huge star. He's rated. Yeah, I just feel like there's going to come a time in the future where we're just going to go, oh, right, yeah, this is a body of amazing work. and I want to go watch it again kind of stuff. Well, anyway, there you go.

Sorry, title again one more time. Catching Lightning on Showtime. There you go. See, what's your name? Oops, I don't have it here. Take this. No, I can't find it. Where's shit out of luck.com?

And also, damn it. Christine, I'm sorry. I can't find your thing. All right, let's play Randy's clip. Randy, a little bit of heads up on it first. What are we looking at here? Sure. I've been watching, I've been rewatching things like crazy.

And some of them are kind of heavy. Like, I'm currently rewatching Strange New Worlds, right? Yeah. And I needed some peace and quiet and low-stakes drama. And I found, and recent events also steered me toward this. So just as you're about to play the clip, this is an incredibly Sackeren family drama from 20 years ago. It wasn't appreciated in its time, but it has grown in a scene for years.

And now just this week, you know, it's become a little legendary. You're about to hear the voice of by far, the most famous actor in the show. Sorry. That played with that movie. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, at the time this show came out,

this voice, this person, wasn't even in like the top five or six credited names. Oh, really? I decided to pull him anyway, because you'll recognize it. But he is not at all. the star of the show. All right.

Let's give it a shot and see what we got. I don't understand. I was all ready to tell you to not go to Notre Dame. I had a whole pitch all planned out, knowing my charm

and probably would have worked out but I was doing it for me. Okay? Because I couldn't bear the thought I'm not seeing you every day because part of me was hoping that maybe

we would get back together or something. Yeah. But I know I was being selfish. I mean, if there's anything you taught me, when you love someone, you got to put them first.

You don't know. You worked your ass off to go to the old name, and you should go. You deserve to go. Yeah, but I'm... The only reason you wouldn't go is because you're afraid you're going to lose us. Come on, Hannah, that's not going to happen. All right, we're going to always be here. I'm always going to be here for you.

I know I let you down before I promise it's never going to ever happen again. Right. So it's going to be a man you. Just be best friends for life. Okay. Sounds like Chris Pratt. I know it isn't. That's what it sounds like to me too.

It is Chris Pratt. And did you notice the WB music in the back? Like they can't help themselves. There's constant WB music because this was the WB series that had four seasons. It's called Everwood. And Everwood is on my mind because both John Beasley and Treat Williams have died in the last week. Oh, right. There are two of the stars of the show.

It's a treat Williams show. It's about him as a widower who moves to himself and his family, his two children, to a tiny mountain town called Everwood. And it is, I called it Sackeren. I just don't have a better word for it. It is what you would imagine this is us based all of its feelings on. And so, like, I. could imagine there's people out there who don't like this kind of thing but it is very it's a warm hug once you start once you get into it you know you can't oh you're going to love this show

and uh wow uh like i say treat williams is the star his oldest son is played by gregory smith the love interest in this small town for gregory smith's character is emily van camp she's awesome and uh you know treat williams plays a doctor so he's moving into a small town that already has a doctor, right? Yeah. And that's played by Tom Amandez, and he's perfect as the kind of, like, he's not a villain, but he's just a little bit of a rival, right? Yeah.

And then his parents are these old folks played by Deborah Mooney and John Beasley. And just, I love this show. This one, this one was famous around here because, um, other than the pilot, which was filmed in Alberta, the rest of the series was filmed in North Ogden and Park city the so it was like a big local production so you're always there were always treat william sightings uh oh really around places and stuff like that because they filmed this and touched by an angel um they spent time in like all over the valley like all up and down utah because we used to have really good tax breaks here for filming shit and then we stopped doing that and everybody went to

um uh Atlanta and that was the end of it for us but this was like that high point where all of these dolly sacrin weird little shows on the wb they were all getting filmed here in our backyard. It was weird. I never saw a single episode of Everwood, but bought the soundtrack because it was all covers. Right on. Right on. Were they good covers? Good covers? They were good covers. Yeah. Okay. Nice.

And again, I understand the, you know, that like this is no longer a new thing. But I'm telling you, back when Dawson's Creek was relatively new or Felicity was relatively new, this was really exciting. This thing with the music where you're hearing lots and lots of popular music under your pleasant show.

Yeah, it's a very pleasant little, they may as well have called it pleasant, you know? Or Pleasantville. Oh, darn, those aren't too. Oh, shoot. Well, it was filmed partly in downtown Pleasant Grove, Utah, so there's that. There's Pleasant Grove. Excellent. Yeah, jars of clay, guster, Kristen Hirsch, Stereophonics, Travis doing Don't Be Shy by Cat Stevens,

Treat Williams himself singing Luggins and Messina's love song. Oh, my. yeah look at look at star lord back then that guy little young little young little young i didn't know he was doing anything until parks i never saw anything either yeah he's in every episode of the show he uh starts out as sort of a a gruff teenage alternate right so like you have the you have the son of treat williams who's just moved to town right and and chris pratt is the uh you know the hot shot on campus, so to speak.

Sure. It takes them a long time to figure out what to do with his character, but they, they develop him, and by the fourth season, he's kind of a main character. He kills the whole fan. Oh, just kidding, he doesn't do that. There is a, there is a, what is it, it's not a murder mystery when you put someone in a coma. It's a, there is a, is there a term for that?

There is a crime mystery at the heart of the first season. Yeah, there's a, there's a, there's a, crime mystery it's it's a soap opera right so like of course somebody's in a coma and you have to find out whether or not that person wakes up of course of course that's how that's going to work well that's cool i'll um i don't know this sounds like good background watching you know yeah is yeah comfort food watch yeah for sure yeah and i understand someone in the chat said it's wb garbage it is that's the point yeah that is your point sometimes sometimes what i just desperately need is some WB garbage because it makes

it just it makes you look away from the cruel realities of your life, you know? Well, all right, on the list. Where's the streaming? Sorry, you said, but I forgot. Where is it? So, you know, in Canada, it's on Apple Plus. It's right there.

But in the States, you're going to get it on freebie, which, you know. Freebie, the, the commercially supported whatever, yeah, I think is the deal. And while you're there, watch Sprung. I keep talking about Sprung. People love the sprung.

By the way, they're still interviewing Ronald Gladden about the jury duty. I saw a new this week, contemporaneous interview with Ronald from jury duty. I can't believe how far they've stretched this guy's 15 minutes. Wow. Good for him, man. He deserves all the attention for me. and the nice guy that he is. Sure thing.

Well, there you go. Mine is clippless today. I already talked about it, in fact. I'm watching M.YPD Blue, and you heard my bad Italian accent thing before? That'll count as today's clip. Basically, I've been really, really busy with fulfillment on the Kickstarter. I've had like no time for extra stuff. That and Diablo are both ruining my life.

So, as a result, I saw nothing cool that was new necessarily. And I've had this on, though. And I'm here to tell you, there are some things that are, that don't, Don't hold up in a 20, 23 kind of way for this 20-year-old show. Mostly, it's occasionally the music, which is sometimes awesome, like the little shaky cam intro stuff they used to do. Some of that stuff's great. Some of it is just bad. Any kind of slow motion action scene where someone's getting shot, terrible, at least in season one, which is all I'm into right now.

This may improve over time. Probably does. But that show was phenomenal in a lot of ways and really laid the good. groundwork for like gritty cop drama stuff moving forward like i don't know if we have things like um my brain the uh the wire i don't think we have the wire without mypd blue and i don't think we have a lot of those kinds of shows without it and of course milch is it david milch forget his name anyway he he went from this to deadwood one of the greatest shows ever made um so there's a long legacy here. Amazing stuff. Of course, Bocco

was involved as well. And they were sure showing a lot of side boobin' butts for a 19... I mean, it was controversial at the time because it was on regular TV like network television, CBS or whatever it was, but it's still kind of shocking now. I was like, oh my gosh. Freaking David Caruso's

butt is too close. I saw it like it's just way more than I expected. But anyway, that show is very good and having it on the background's great. I forgot how much Nicholas Tutoro is just a force to be reckoned with back then. He's really good as Martinez there's a bunch of other great character actors in this and then every episode somebody shows up that you just know from a thousand other things like just you just know them

and like I said Dan Hadiah the other day and there's always these guest stars it's all just very good so anyway highly recommended oh neelix from um oh really from uh voyager voyagers in it he plays this nervous neighbor that almost gets killed because he called the cops on a drug dealer and anyway not surprised that guy was such a big character actor back then. Yeah, for sure. And this would have been two, three years prior to Nelix, I guess, right? 92 and Voyager was 95, I think.

So, yeah. So a lot of these are like people you're like, oh, yeah, it's Nelix. But then I'm like, no, back then he was like just a dude getting gigs, just getting work, you know? Yeah, I'm almost getting pride in the island. Yeah, that's right. Just we watched the island. I'm telling you, man, Nelix, underrated, that guy. He is so great.

he um i don't know why i can think he was name either he's so good in avenue five that oh yes perfect example i the the the canceling of avenue five had a lot of a big impact on me on a bunch of ways but one of them in particular was losing him as that character what an amazing character he played and that if you haven't seen avenue five i think it's worth it just to see the neelix guy freaking chew up the same the sadly the last season haven't watched the final season of it but it was good we're gonna we're gonna do that when it's time for our filling our time with comedy to after the the drama we've been watching of your honor season two which i think might be my recommendal next week oh damn dude i gotta get on that one um so good all right well there you have it

uh recommendals for this week will be up on quicktms dot l i chances are they're already there because brian's very efficient with those it totally are yeah so go check those out and derandi i hope you have a safe trip back we're doing film sack this weekend i don't know what it is brian will be the one.

They're eyedubes. And we got a listener right in. Corral or Coral wrote in. I think coral. Probably coral. Get back in the house, Coral. Get in there, Coral. Deer Scepter and Ball. I heard you guys talking about Owls last podcast. I thought I would enlighten you with this image and then sent this picture. Now, for those home and listening, you're not going to be able to see this. But the chat, I'm about

to show you. Look at that. that ugly ass freaking bird. Yeah, I think that's a wet owl. I think that is a drenched owl. Yeah, he's a wet owl out in the rain and its sweet green icing is flowing down. If you leave an owl sitting normally, looking around, they look fine. They look regal and cool.

Yeah, they look awesome, the predators they were meant to be. Breton it, you're a mouse. But the minute you get them wet, the minute they stand up and run, the minute you know their eyes are elongated tubes, like, they're effing weird. Yeah, yeah. They're weird. He looks unimpressed and sad. Yeah, it is kind of a... I mean, part of me hopes that's the owl not wet,

and it's just how he looks, but I think you're right. I think he's wet. Poor thing. Well, wet owls aside, Coral, we appreciate your emails, and we appreciate all of you listening today for hanging out and being part of it.

What do you have? I will. This one goes to Jen, who goes by J.K.L. Mess in, or Maz, in chat. Hello, Scoot and Boogie. I'm requesting a song for my amazing husband, Adam. He's been working IT for the last 20 years. And last month, took the plunge to do what he's always wanted to do, become a chef. He cooked for the owner of a winery, and they loved his food.

So he is now chefing at the kitchen at the winery. That's cool. He was super nervous and excited to make this leap, but he's killing it now, making yummy food people are loving. If you play in the song, if you're choosing to celebrate, loving his job, instead of surviving it. He loves the food fighters and radio head. but anything you pick will be sure to be the right choice. Asking for Tad vibes for his success and a shameless plug for his kitchen, good decisions,

good decisions dot shop. I don't know where this is, but go check it out. Love the show, though. Jim. It's very cool. I love that. Very cool.

That's awesome. And congratulations, Adam, on following your dreams and getting to do what you've always wanted to do. There's definitely something to that. You're officially my hero, Adam.
