I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Hello, Scott. Man, you know what? Every day, at least once someone sends a message to either the TMS email or my own email and says, you do realize that New Year's Eve this year is one, two, three, one, two, three. I get it all the time.

Right, one, two, three, one, two, three, yeah, exactly. I mean, I do think that's great, but you're all, you're all, it's like you guys are doing Halloween stuff too early. You've got to wait for the time. Yeah, let that, yeah, let that, let that, uh, let that circuit city close before. before you stick your Spirit Halloween in there, right? Oh, my gosh, I found out the other day. I'm sorry, you reminded me of something.

I was trying to go to, we have this retro game thing. It's in one of the malls. And I went to go check it out. It's a Spirit Halloween now. Oh, no, already? God, in July. That and the two stalls next to the side, they had, like, a stall on each side.

They're, your stores that were closed already, and now those are all part of it. They knocked out the walls. That's one big. I was pissed. I was irritated. Didn't like it. You know, should we start getting worried that before too long,

What's going to be Spirit Halloween planet? Like, you know, the invasion of the cheap costume snatchers or something? I don't know, man. It's like, what's the movie? What was the name of that movie? Stallone and Snipes and everybody? What was that called? Demolition, man.

Maybe they were wrong. It's not Taco Bell. Every restaurant is Taco Bell. No, every store is Spirit. Yeah, they got the prediction wrong about who's going to be who. Yeah. Oh, geez. Anyway, hey, I got to do some show and tell.

Yeah, yeah, I did. pre-show patrons enjoyed it you all can too if you come up and you should for real you need to see this is a rad rad thing that i showed and told but it's not as rad as this all right let's see it brian sent me something for my birthday oh look at this you got it all right i did i got it uh big thanks to hammond for swinging by the house why is that wet he was he was something drip on you out of something's wet but i think it was my water bottle sweating next to it or something okay all right Anyway, look at this. This is Lilith from Diablo

4. Brian 3D printed this beauty. And also did, what do you call this kind of paint again? Zenithal painting. So basically you paint the whole model black. Then you do a gray halo around the top

and then hit it from the front with white. And that creates it like shows detail. Like the fact you can see like all of the detail on her, her spines and stuff like that. It's awesome. It's shading. Yeah. So it makes it really, really easy to to now paint. If you do thin color paints, you can do as light as you want.

Just add a little bit of Ted Turner color or you can, you know, make it super faint, whatever. I honestly think this is as cool or cooler, as cool or cooler than anything on the Blizzard store that has her on it. Because they have a statue you can buy. It's like ridiculously, outrageously expensive. Yeah, I'm sure. Full-size thing, but this bust is like so rad. So this is my favorite birthday gift. Look, no offense to

anyone else in my family or anybody else. Sorry, sorry, Kim. It's the best one I got right here. That's cool. Oh, dude, I'm so glad you like it. Happy birthday. Love it. Look at that. Right there looking at me, the prime evil, one of the primeval's daughter, she's the daughter of hatred. Oh, it's good stuff. You know what you ought to do? Like, at a minimum,

Make her eyes red in the game? Oh, yeah, I could do that. I think two different eyes. She has like two different colors. I remember I saw a cutscene before I went back to playing Zelda to eventually come back to Diablo for, which I will. Of course you will, sure. I'm looking now. Yeah, she has two colored eyes.

She has a kind of a reddish eye and a blue eye because one of them is. Like an Alsatian. Well, one is, one represents her father and the other maybe is, I don't know her. What would that be? Because her, I don't know who her mother is. I don't know the lore on that.

But she's, she's a real piece of work, I'll tell you that. Interesting. Love it, though. Absolutely love it. Cool. That artist guy,

that guy you subscribe to to get these models, freaking insane. Oh, Eastman, man. That dude, listen, if you, um,

uh, if you want me to print something for you, subscribe to Eastman out there. Because he doesn't, allow you to sell your prints, but if you want something printed, you don't have a 3D printer and you want me to print something. Just subscribe to him for a month, get the model you want, get it to me, I'll print it, but he's a Patreon. And he does amazing work. His current thing is Bain, like this month is Bain, and it's the amazing comic book Bain, and it's gorgeous.

With that crazy helmet and those gnarly green. The hose coming off the back of it. I like Comic Bain a lot. I think, actually, I think movie Bane's fine, but I think Comic Bain is really something special. He's read. Yeah, no, for sure. Let's see here. I think it's on his Twitter, so I can get it, get you a picture of a real quick like.

Comic Bain. Comic Bain. Can I just, yeah, I think I can copy link. Copy link. Should be able to see it, even if it's on his... There you go. It's in our Discord. Oh, it's a tweet.

It's in our discordant. All right, I'm bringing it up here, chat. Oh, look at that. Yeah. See, that's, hmm. This guy, what does this guy even need in his life? He's got, he can make anything that matters. He can.

He just, like, he does one of these a month, maybe two. I think there have been months he's done too. And his stuff is amazing. He did a, a Deckard, not Deckerd Kane, but Blade Runner, Harrison Ford's character. Decker to get Blade Runner Decker, yeah. Blade Runner Deckerd. And it looks like freaking Harrison Ford with the bad haircut and the scar on his chin and everything. Wow.

That's awesome. Yeah. He's good. I wish I was him. Yeah, I know, right? There's a talent right there. I realize I could do that stuff. That's really awesome.

I guess with time, but I don't know. We're old goats now. It's hard to do new things. We're old goats. All right. So there's that. I got asked to do jury duty. got a letter in the mail and um you you did did it as far as like they called you in and then dismissed

you from the thing correct i was in the in the room where they were going to pick 12 of us and the uh two uh litigants decided to settle um and uh um that was the closest i've ever gotten and i think i've gotten four um what do they call it four notice uh summons or notice of summons Thank you. Four summons for jury duty. Showed up. Two of them, I didn't even have to show up. They didn't call my number.

And then the other two, I did show up. One of them, I was just in the outside room. And then the second one, I made it to the inside room. But never like a case, right? Never actually sat and watched a case, yeah. You were never an angry man of 12. One angry. I was never one angry man.

Yeah. Okay. Well, that's good. So I have done, this would be my third time. First two times, never heard back. this time I submitted it. I did it by mail because I want to make it hard work for them. I didn't want to do the easy online way because that seems like it makes their job easier, not mine.

So I filled it out with my bad handwriting because I don't have time for jury. I really don't. Like we live in a country where that should be almost like, and I do it if I get called up. But it should feel like an honor to do it. Like it's an important part of the society to do it. And I really believe that. but we also have built a society that has made us so if we're not working constantly, we can't make ends meet, you know what I'm saying?

Sure. So then expecting you to come out there and they say, oh, we'll give you $18 a day. Don't worry. It's like, come on, man. But you know, like you could do a day of jury duty, right? Yeah, you can't do like that. Here it is exactly what happened. Juror number five, you're not the courtroom artist.

Could you please stop drawing the litigants? I'm just drawing boobs, Your Honor. all right you're dismissed yeah please dismiss that man on the corner there yeah but I even so in the thing it says is there any reason why you think you would be trouble to do this and I wrote a sole income earner for the home

oh really you actually get a thing that says why why shouldn't you be yeah they have a whole they had a whole subparagraph thing where you could detail the reasons why you would not be suitable so I just listed all these like practical reasons yeah and then filled out the rest like you know

Lack of interest. Yeah, severe lack of interest in our court system. Well, so we'll see. I mean, I still could get called up, but I don't know. I submitted it. I want to do it once. I want to experience it once. Where you're in a jury and actually go to trial.

It could be actually be in a jury and go through and actually watch a trial because I think that stuff is fascinating, but I don't want to do it more than once because I will sit there and it'll be like, oh, I still need to do keyword research for this client. I still need to do a mock-up site for this client. I need to prep this podcast. I need to paint a mini. Yeah, you've got minis to paint. You can't be doing it.

I mean, it's an apocalypse. You're going to paint himself, folks. No, no, no. So anyway, we'll see. If it comes up again, I'll certainly let the show now. But jury duty, what even is it? You know, what you should do is watch the show jury duty as prep. So you might, you know, know what to do in case James Marsden wants to take a giant

shit in your hotel bathroom. Oh, is that a hint as to... That's a thing that happens in the TV show, jury duty, which I still contend is the only reality show I've ever watched that left me feeling better for have watched. Like, made me feel better as a person

after watching it than I did going in. That actually, I know we've recommended it, there's been another talk about it. That's actually the best endorsement I've heard just now. Yes. Yes. Okay. That is no exaggeration.

Anybody who watched it will tell you the same. And, and here's the extra bonus. Yeah. If you watch jury duty, your parasite streak continues. Oh, my lord. Look at that. I was hesitant to watch because just the, you know, reality TV and I don't get along. Oh, yeah.

No, no. Don't even, don't even be concerned about that. You know, don't be like, oh, is it like punked kind of thing? Because it's absolutely not. it is it is it's like a you know the feeling that

Kim probably gets from watching Hallmark shows at the end of like oh look they found love and she's going to move back from the big city and join him in the small town

where she grew up the way she feels at the end of those is the way you're going to feel at the end of jury duty is it freebie is that who has it

yeah freebie and then while you're there you can watch that Greg Garcia it was not Greg Garcia I keep saying no it is Greg Garcia oh yeah

Amazon Prime has it too but the the sprung with Dilla Hunt and Oh right the dude all the all the people

who have been in my name is Earl and yeah that's that showrunner guy made all those right it's the same exactly yeah it's weird

because FreeVie is a prime well it's their commercial thing and I do like it when they will put it on both sometimes so you're saying jury duty i can watch commercial free jury duty you can watch commercial free on prime nice that is what i will be doing then uh all right uh the only other thing i wanted to mention is it just sort of annoyed me and i thought you might appreciate it given your uh position

in music these days i don't listen to regular radio that often but when i do uh it's hard to not notice how commercial radio's gotten and how it's just kind of bad it's really bad but what made me mad the other day. It wasn't the number of commercials, wasn't annoying DJs or any of that. It was something a DJ said, but it just annoyed me. He comes on and says, we're continuing this weekend where it's nothing but 90s and 2000s. So right now we're going to listen to I think it was Tears for Fears. Shout. They played Shout and I went, right after he said,

nothing but 90s and 2000s. Here's, Tears for Fears was Shout. And I went, I yelled at the radio. Like, this. That's not a 90s song. I believe songs from the big chair was 1985. Yeah. 186 maybe. Maybe if we're lucky.

Like, it's as mid-80s as you get. And what are you guys doing? Like, what are you freaking? I was so annoyed. I almost called the station. I was so bugged. I was like, but people aren't this stupid, are they? Maybe they are.

Something happens, and I don't know the years. You guys ever wonder why Brian's film stock intro is seem to just roll off his tongue it's because he's good at this he's good at this anyway freaking crappy 97.5 or whatever you were i don't know what i was i don't know what i was but it just reminded me like why am i even turn that off sink my phone what are we doing yeah exactly yeah that's that we turned off um serious xm in my car is just tired of paying for it by the way if you have a serious xm subscription a you can you can cancel via text you You only have to call them anymore.

And if you think you might want to keep it, but you're paying too much. Yeah. I think when I quit, I had run out of my great deal. They offered me, and they were just doing month to month, and I wasn't paying attention to how much it went up to. I think it was like $28 a month or something stupid like that. Exactly. And then I'm like, whoa. I mean, it was no, you know, it was no $6.

5,000 gallon leak, but it was still like, whoa, I'm not paying that. So I did the, I'm going to cancel, did the text thing, and they're a little, there was still a person talking to me because they had horrible spelling and grammar. Yeah. And they said,

well, if you stay with us, how about we take you down to $8 a month, all told? Oh, wow. What is this? Cable in the 80s? This is crazy. This is... Exactly. Yeah. So, yeah, $8.8.00

And I'm like, oh, no, I'm sorry. That's still too much. Sorry, thanks. I just, you know, don't want to have it. Then she came back with, how about $7 a month? Like, they really don't know how to negotiate. You go from $28 down to $8 and then down to $7, maybe like $28 down to $14 and then down to $7 and then down to $7 if you're going to do that. Yeah.

Yeah. I've done this before where, well, even like when I tried to end my Adobe thing. They were like, well, what if we gave it two months for you? You know, they all do it, I guess, or a lot of places do it. But it always strikes me as so not disingenuous, but it's just like, well, then give me the deal. If you can charge that much, charge that much. Yeah, charge that. Like, I understand the math.

Most people just forget it, set it and forget it, and then they just pay out their bum and don't know they're doing it. And they'll never see that money again. I get that. But, like, if you really want to win my loyalty, as a subscription-based service like pipe in once in a while and say hey, we're going to give you this month for only $8 just because we feel nice.

You know, we wanted to do a good thing. Exactly, yeah. If the CEO is up there saying, I have enough money, you could probably offer people subscriptions for $7. Yeah. Like, why not?

Why the hell not? Let's see. Dunaway is almost here. He's pulling up his driveway, he says. Yeah, it says pulling up to the house now. I don't know if that means, is he not, the office today?

Oh, that must be fun. He had a meeting and he's running home for his lunch hour, I believe. Gotcha. He wants the fancy mic is what he wants. That's right. I understand how that way. How many more, one of my friends at Trivia last night said, by the way, you're wrong about Kiss.

Like, he showed up. And I said, okay, all right, defend Kiss. Okay. What was his defense? His defense was they, you know, they were incredible, performance live act. I said no argument. Agreed. We said that on the air. We actually said that. We said that on the air. It's like if you, if you see Kiss live, you're getting a way

better experience than if you listen to their albums. He says, oh, no, no, their albums are great. And I said, really? Like, name some songs. And he just started naming greatest hits. And I'm like, have you listened to the rest of those albums? Have you listened to the entirety of rock and roll all over, which is one of the worst album titles? with rock and roll all over Yeah, it's bad Or dress to kill Or dress to kiss

Kiss all dressed I can't remember what it was Sure I want you know Destroyer has some Good songs But it also has that song That we talked about on film sack

Where you know It's basically Imagine me doing this stuff to you That I'm doing to this microphone on stage Oh la la la la la la la You know that's like Yeah, I mean, look, there are plenty of defenders out there. I get it.

People have what they like. I get it. But it's okay that we don't like it, you guys. It's fine. Exactly. But anyway, so I, you know, in the end, I don't know if he was able to convince me that he, you know, really enjoyed Kiss or really just enjoyed what Kiss presented. themselves as initially, which I think we all liked. We all liked that. I thought

that was badass when I was a kid. Yeah. I have the action figures. Yeah, those are cool. Yeah. A question comes up, by the way. Yeah. The action figures have hair as opposed to a plastic mold of hair. Does that make them dolls?

Their clothes are not removable. Thank God. Yeah, thank you for that. I appreciate you not letting that cod piece come off a Gene Simmons. Yeah, exactly, please. If there's any way to glue it on permanently. I think it might make it real hair. It might make it dolls. I think so. Yeah. So we had kiss. So we had kiss dolls. Sue us. Kiss dolls. It's fine. I don't feel bad about it. Here's what I feel good about though, right here.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. One dying, not dying, Dunaway, Brian Donneway. Oh, no. What the frick. I don't know why I went there. My apologies. Dunaway's here. Hey, man, it's good to have you here.

Welcome back to the Tad Pooley feud. I know you've been running around like crazy. Having to go okay day? I have. I don't have any kissing dolls at all. Oh, shit. That was I were talking about, right? Yeah, kissing dolls.

Yeah, nothing to do with kiss the band. Listen, and if they are dolls, that's just fine. Nothing's wrong with the boy collecting dolls. Freebie you and me told us all that back in when we were in grade school. Yeah. Or middle school. I had a Teddy Ruxpin. That was a doll, basically.

That was a doll. That wasn't a doll. That was a fuzzy cassette. It was a fuzzy cassette player. Yeah, that's exactly what it was. Fair point. Fair point, indeed. All right.

Let's see, we should have somebody ping us. Nobody has yet, though, for today's thing. If you guys want to be in this today, you want to be the fourth voice on the call, why you've got to pop in with a little bit of he-ha here and tell me. You got to send me a DM. A little he-ha. My whole culture is offended.

That's right. You should be. Send me a DM on Discord. and I'll pull you in. It doesn't matter who you are. In fact, I'll take the first one that does it because usually we have like six or seven already trying and right now we've got nobody.

Oh, nobody? Claire in the chat room says, I wonder if demanding to play with Brian is enough to get pulled in. Oh, look at that. I don't know. I mean, she's a psycho, but we'd take her. Zoe, how come you never try to get in on this?

Yeah, what's up with that? Get in on this one, would you? What's up with Zoe and her inability to get in on this one, you know? And bring all the bacon, would you? For Pete's sakes. I know, right? All right, we're going to take, oh, our first ping is, if I can find it here.

Hold on. Why isn't that working? Let me try that again. Just a moment. Just a moment now. Yeah, this whole thing's taking longer than it should. And there we go. Oh, it looks like we're getting September today.

September incoming. Oh, 9 to 12. What's up? Yeah, she's not there yet. Now she is. Hello, September. Welcome to July. What are you doing?

Hello? Uh-oh. Oh, hi. you never hear that joke right the whole september july thing that never comes up no no monthly jokes it's a weird thing people usually say november like oh okay hi i'm november and that's neither before or after directly so i don't know why you're the only person i know named after that month i know some aprils i know some mays some may is a june or two have you ever have you ever been uh maybe a little attracted to a woman named May and had

a little May-September romance? I used to hang out with this woman April and I did have a guy tried the line like, ooh, I want to be June, July, August. Can I be your August? HUBA. Hibber. Well, anyway, hey, it's good to have you

here. Glad to hear your voice and we're going to have some fun. Brian, you want to explain the rules and what she might win today? If I have to. It's time to play the Tad Pooley feud. I've surveyed the Tadpool on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Brian after predict the answers that they gave us. It is their job to see how many of those answers they can guess.

September, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you get a prize package. That includes V-Rising and Cook Serve Forever. Oh, my gosh. Forever. Both of these are newish and amazing. V-Rising is still in early access, but it is one of my favorite. it takes on like the survival

genre. It's like so different. It's so much fun. If you like vampires at all, it's it'll suck you in and kill you. It's great. Suck you in and kill you. Both of these courtesy of gamer checks. Thank you gamer checks for setting news. I love gamer checks. I used to get games in my checks. Wasn't there a doom

clone in the checks? There was. You could get a, there was a doom clone on floppy dip or no, CD maybe. Was it a floppy disk? No, I've been a CD. You might have been a CD, but yes. That'd be hilarious for that. That'd be hilarious putting putting a floppy tiske in there and all those checks. Oh, God, all the little crumbs going right into the little...

Yeah, I think checks were sugary enough for a prize. I know, right? Right, no price. That's why you needed the prize. That's true. Yeah, so this is great. Let's do it. Let's try to win these for her, because these are great kids.

Yes. All right. Well, then, in that case, put your hands on your buzzers and give your best answer to this. We ask 385 tadpoolers. What is your favorite Monty Python? on sketch. The parrot, the dead parrot one. Show me dead parrot.

Number one answer on the board. No answers can beat it. That means you get September's assistance, Scott, or September you get Scott's assistance. I don't know. Yeah, whichever way makes you feel better. I don't know which one. Yeah, go ahead. A little point in clarification.

A bunch of people, maybe 29 of them to call them out. a bunch of people bunch of people did this they're good people both sides both sides both sides oh no now two of you are doing it it oh no put things like the life of Brian

no that's not a holy grail yeah that doesn't work I'm just going to say I took those out but if it was a movie that contained like it was a movie made up of sketches and they and they named one of those sketches

I kept it in so those are those are your your you know caveats okay caveats fair enough they made it into the top 10 who knows but um that said actually I think I might have left one here that never mind okay keep going let's see how you do we'll see how we do September how do you feel about the argument clinic I like that one a lot tricky that's a good one what do you think you want that you want something else uh with the ministry of silly walks there you go that's a good one man that was the top one that's got that was top of my head Yeah, I love that one.

Goose stepping with... Is that the one you're going with? We'll go with that. We'll do the funny walks thing. Cool. All right. Show me the Ministry of Silly Walks. Number two, two answer on the board.

Nicely done. Geez. All right. I'm going to let September continue. You know what's up here. I love Money Python. Good. This is a good episode to have you on.

This is a good episode to have you on. Yeah. What else you? you like? What would other people? Are songs in there? I mean, I guess most of them start with a skit and then...

Yeah, a lot of them, like Lumberjack. Yeah, Lumberjack is both a skit and a song, I would say. So I'd say the Lumberjack song or skit. Yeah, that's a good one. Let's do that, Brian. The thing that's going to make the list is ones that people like, if you say it, they could start quoting it, right? Right, exactly.

All right, so Lumberjack song? Yeah. Show me I'm a Lumberjack and I'm okay. Number six. Good points there. I like those points. I'm going to go ahead and throw in the, well, let's do argument. The argument thing thing has to be in here.

That's got to be. Yeah, yeah, that was like the other one said earlier. Let's do that. Let's put it in. Okay, show me argument clinic. Yeah. I might be doing this. this in my free time. Number five. I love that one. The one specifically on the final rip-off double-CD

version of that skit, which is just an audio version, is the best. Really? Oh, I need to hear that one. It's so good. So good. It's funny with the parrot sketch. When I was in junior high school, I had this crush out of a guy who really, really, really liked it, but he had trouble. He was trying to memorize it. And I typed, typed it up for him. Wow. Transcribed it. High writer. Yeah. Right.

Okay, the cheese shop. Oh, yeah. I love the cheese shop. Cheese shop where the guy doesn't have any cheese, actually. Yeah. I actually watched that one this morning when I was putting this one together. Yep. It's so classic.

It is. Show me the cheese shop. Oh, how is that possible? It wasn't, didn't make the top 10. Cheese Shop was number. 13. Okay. Again, again, the final rip-off CD is the best version of that one too, I think. They're audio

kind of radio versions of things. For some reason, those really hit. Oh, yes, yes. Okay, in that case, I do know that's the one I've heard because yeah, they, it doesn't, you don't get the audience laughter, you get just the jokes. Yeah. It's really well done. There's a really high quality audio and there's still sound effects like the sound of him moving through an office or doing whatever. There's a few like that and they're, they're, they're all very good. They're all on YouTube, by the way, which is nice. Alright, Brian, I guess it's in your

lap now. Six answers left on the board. Brian, what you got? So, cover most of the ones I remember really well. You kind of clued into one earlier that makes me want to say it. It's where you're talking, well, you said it might have been a part of one of the movies.

And if I know the tadful, everyone always references but a flesh wound Oh You know the black night Yeah the night So I mean It's sketchy

It's a sketchy It's like a sketch in a film Right All right yeah Let's go on that Let's go that route Okay Show me

Tis but a flesh wound Yeah Yeah number four So that was the only one And I'll just tell you right now That's the only one From Life of Brian Or Monty Python

The Holy Grail That I kept Because so many people said that even though it's not a separate sketch it's a it's just a great part of that that movie but does that include um that include life or uh sorry a meaning of life or no i consider that to be a movie made of sketches okay so that could still play a role i don't think anybody doesn't consider that movie made up of sketches it's a movie made up of sketches for sure and not only that there's sketches that are from the show they got moved over like oh really some of those got blown up some

of them were like short smaller things that got remember this sex class thing yeah yeah the sex education where he demonstrates there's now entering my life it's a much it's a much more rated our version of it but the tv show had a little something anyway uh all right brian fundle the breasts i miss those guys together i did too yeah all right so i see that's my problem i don't remember than necessarily the names of the sketches. Can I just describe the one thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could describe the sketch and I'll sell.

Now, the one that made me and my friends laugh and specifically one friend, there was like a, there was like a fish slapping that was taken place. I know that one. Fish slapping. Fishy, fishy, fish. Sure, the fish yeah, yeah. Separate. No, that's different. That the fish, no, no, no. I'm going to go

with what I'm seeing what you picked, Brian, but I'm wrong. I'm wrong. Fishing, fishy. Where is the fish. That was a little interlude from meaning of life. Yeah. I'm getting them too mixed up now. Thanks, Scott. One of my favorite effing things every day ever. It's so bizarre. Yeah. Show me the fish slapping

dance. Oh, it's a dance. Okay. It's a dance and it's number nine in the list. It's been like, it's been like since high school and college since I watched all these things, man. It's been forever. Just like that, you are within one point striking distance. Oh, really? I'm kidding. Just your two answers.

Yeah, your two answers caught you up with no problem. All right. That's all right. I have a feeling that you guys can run this board. I have a very strong feeling. Yeah, but not probably me because, man, it's been, like I said, it's been, how many years has that been? 20 years since I've done that?

Oh, gosh. Oh, geez, you should do that more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, I'm trying to remember, remember most of these ones we said before. Oh, Jesus. That makes me want to watch Life of Brian when you said that. It's like I am slacking off here. All you have to say is Jesus.

I'm slacking off here. Um, no, I wait, wait, wait, I know. Okay. Spam. Spam. Oh, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam. Spam. Yeah.

I knew those. No, it was not one in there. Spam. All right. Now, I'm screwed. Show me. Spam. Spam.

Number three. Now you're ahead by two. Taking the lead. Well, I hope y'all get any more because. Let me think. Let me think. Jesus Oh God, I don't know

I can't remember anything else That was the one Let's see Depair administrativeously walks Spam black night You said no more really from the movies That's too bad Because I keep thinking of things from Holy Grail

Which I've seen probably the most Well keep in mind You said no movies except possibly Yeah the black night I'll say just black night Is the only one from Life of Brian and Holy Grail But I do consider Meaning of Life to be a collection of sketches

something from there. But no, I mean, I'm going to be something there in the list. I keep getting, all I can think of kids in the hall now for some reason. I can't stop taking your head. Not even that. The dang of, it was, it was Citizen Kane. And he stabs him with the, with the, with the fork. Oh, yeah.

That is definitely kids in the hall. It's just a cane, because I can't think of me. It's really stalled forever. It's all right. Maybe somebody did it by accident. Show me a thing from a whole different sketch comedy, true. All right, I really like, Deb. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition that has to be on here.

That's what I was going to do. Oh, is that we didn't already say to Spanish. Dang it. Nobody said the Spanish Inquisition yet. That was another one I watched this morning to refresh my memory because it's so good. I could not expect the Spanish Inquisition. No one expects. All right.

Show me the Spanish Inquisition. Inquisition. Yeah, number seven. All right. Puts us back in the lead there, September. It does. Two more answers. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

That's a good one. Wink, wink, wudge, nudge, that's a good one. No what I mean. No, what to mean? No, what I mean? Does she go? Does she go? Does she go?

Do you know what I mean? No to mean, no to mean. Show me. Nudge, nudge, oh, shit. Oh, really? Are you kidding. Oh, am I doing?

What am I doing? I can look at the chat room, can't I? You can't. Frick. Oh, that's right. I never look at them. I can just look at them.

It always feels wrong. They can just tell you what they would pick. They can't tell you what ended up is the top ten. People keep saying parrot. They're like, dude, we did parrot the very first one. A lot of them. Oh, Claire is saying something. I bet she does.

What is that? I don't remember that one. No one. No one. But she does. Bet she does. Oh, that's that's the same one. That's the whole stuff.

everyone thinks of that all the time sure all right mint just a mint just a mint it's just way for a thin that thing scarred me as a kid but i grew on me i got all the vomit that that would make me want to continue a vomit streak yeah my mother walked out of the theater better better get buck you go fro up okay yeah oh good good good good i think that seals the deal because i don't got nothing else let's the back the chat room again that seals the deal on Like, if nothing, if no, you know, September is one, but there's one answer, I wonder if you guys can come up with it. I do remember Twitter Olympics. That was good clerest that, too. That was a really good one. That's your guess. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're right. You're right. I take it back.

You're definitely right. So September, anything else, like I'm trying to think of anything else. It would be like, there's so many I love that no one's going to do. There's that bookstore one. I love that one. But there's no way nobody did that. That's just two. Yeah, and my favorites have been covered. Yeah, kind of all this stuff I can do. And a lot of, like, the NIC keeps coming on my head. I'm just like, well, yeah, but that's like Brian, and so we know it's not in there. Yeah. That's no ordinary rabbit, you know. Yeah.

Oh, my gosh, you're making me just want to watch all this shit. I know, these are so damn good. This is funny. Brian fixed up with Holy Grail. Holy Snikies, I can't. God, it's been too long. I know. It's been a bit.

Where is, um. where is flying circus streaming that's what i need to know right netflix has it you're going to try and watch some really quick yeah everybody right back it's right back it's in the mode so it'll be all right um you guys the chat things in the world oh that one's not bad the sit on my face song is in there but i don't know if sit on my face is going to make the list maybe but uh all right let's go with hers let's do hers All right. Show me the sit-of-my-face song. Sit-of-my-face. Every square mistake, but there's a better sign.

Damn it. All right. You can't lose because if I get this, you win, and if I don't get it, you win. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you can't lose. And I will say that the Tadpool does know what that last one is. They've mentioned it. Really?

Oh, really. Twitter Olympic still. I think I'm going to say it. So I'm probably to say it, right? The upper-class twit of the year is the year. That's right. That's the sketch. All right.

Show me upper class Twitter the year. No. Yeah, let's see. Windmagus, Matuba, Claire, Redlinks,

it is, in fact, the funniest joke in the world. Which is weaponized. That's right. That's what I just said. Oh, did you say it?

Isn't that what I just said, the funniest joke? I don't know. did you? For one of our cards. You never mentioned it as a guess. Okay. Okay.

Let me rephrase that. You guys never gave it as a final answer. You may have thrown it out. Yeah. But the important thing is it doesn't matter because you won. Yeah. It's what our last guest was. But yeah, I mean, I know.

Oh, yeah. Scott picks it on my face for when you, when you suggest the funniest joke of the world, Scott pick. Oh, Scott. Oh, yeah. Then I said, go with hers and you said, sit on my face. And I think it got confused. But it doesn't matter because you won.

Look at it. all that. You won. Brian, what were some other ones on here? What else did we have? Yeah. So the other ones, let's see. Bring out your dad. Didn't count. Nighter Seiney, didn't count. Four Yorkshire men, which is, which I counted, only a few people said it, but it was,

it actually came from a pre-Montie Python skit that some of the guys did, and it was written by Marty Feldman. Oh, weird. Philosophers playing soccer. Always look on the bright side of life, doesn't count. Bicycle repair man, which was really funny. Blamage is playing tennis.

Crunchy frog, which I thought would be higher. Crunchy frog is a great one. Dirty fork. That's why I was thinking of. Dirty fork. That's the reason why I couldn't get out of my brain. A couple people brought up a dirty fork, and I think that's such a funny one because it starts out as like, oh, sorry, there's a spot on my fork and turns into like a whole. That's why I was getting a freaking confused with a whole restaurant shutting down. That's a good one, yeah.

Airspeed of a swallow and iguana just fell out of a tree. Castle Anthrax, nope, Clip-Clop, clumping horses, all those things. Nope, because that's all part of the meeting or up Holy Grail. Fruit self-defense, Gumby florist.

What is that one? That sounds great. I like Julia Child's Fingerbleed. Yeah, that was Dan Aykroyd on SNL. What is that? Yeah, definitely not that. So how do I get caught up with all this stuff? I haven't watched any. Somebody said Netflix.

It's Netflix. Netflix. It's on Netflix. If you want that album I talked about, that whole thing's on YouTube, Apple Musics, Spotify. It's so good. That album is a real. If you want something you just listen to, it's so good. It's amazing that, like, what has it been like 20, almost probably 30 years since I've watched most of these things and most of them are still in my head.

Yeah. That's how powerful those dudes were, man. That's crazy. Yeah. One of the greatest comedy troops of all time, undoubtedly. Well, look at this. Look at this right here. Congratulations.

you're a winner. That means you won September and you don't even have to wait until your month of day or your month name to get your prizes. Brian's going to send those to you right away and you'll be the proud winner of those things

and when we get our core server back up for the rising, you should get in there because it's a really fun game. Oh, you should play on your own too, but it's very good. September, anything to say about your big win while you're doing the dishes there? She's doing her own fork skit. Hello?

Did she hang up? I thought she hung up there. She'd come back. Oh. She did. She hung up and then she came back. Oh, she's back. No, she's still on here.

Are you on here? Do you know? Well, she's gone now. She plucking down his back and his doing. I said, my picture came back. I got to get this out of my system. That's right. I'm going to do these dishes.

Take this trash out. Congratulations to her and to you, Brian Dunaway, for being such a good sport, even though you lost twice this week. Nice job. Oh, geez. I forgot I lost Monday. Wow. Wow.

Just, wow. Yeah. I'm not going to keep. we only keep track for the week, right? So next week, fresh start. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, you want to keep going? Okay, I'll keep it going.

We keep track of the pettiness is what we keep on. But we don't let it show on our awesome show called Play Retro, which will happen later today. And now you're thinking to yourselves at home, what could they possibly be doing next? We've decided to throw some love at PC players, go back to the year 1994, the early 90s, and look at a little game known as Warcraft orcs versus humans or orcs in humans. That was the first one. I never played it. I did, like crazy.

I also played two a lot, Tides of Darkness, and all the expansions. And we'll even get into a little bit of three. But basically what we're doing is we're saying, what was life before World of Warcraft? What were these games like? These RTSs of old, these very influential games. And you'll be surprised about how cheesy some of this stuff is.

I've been shocked at the number of people who have never played one. There's a lot of people who have played two. Yeah, two is huge. people will play three and of course everybody's like wow right everybody still playing about everybody you guys want to hear early Chris Metson is the voice of thrall check this out sure it's right here

what kind of nightmare was that what sort of nighting of thrall I even played a little bit of that warcraft adventures oh did you get a whole how did you get a hold of that I didn't know that was leaked oh I'll send it to you it was someone put it out there you know

totally not finished It didn't, you know, it was 97, 98, one of those adventure games. Yeah, it got canceled. Everybody was hide about, yeah. And it got canceled. And it was pretty good ways along the way for in development. It's certainly subpar. But it was interesting.

That's how they did games. The games that get canceled, the Blizzard, they're always almost done, and then they cancel them. I was going to say, that mobile game that they announced last year that was like a lanes kind of thing. Oh, that's still coming. That's in beta, but it's coming. Yeah. Yeah, well, I'd like the beta to come to me. You'd like that to be on your phone right now.

I'd like to play that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I feel you. I don't know what's taking them so long. It's been over a year since it got announced, right? I'll bet you money. This is just a guess. But with Lizcon coming back, they'd love to have a thing to say, and it's out now.

I'll bet they put it up there. Oh, and it's download, and you look under your chairs. You get an app download. You get an app download. If you have a phone. It'll be a QR code stuck to the bottom of every chair. Yep, everyone have to figure out to take pictures underneath the chairs. Anyway, we're going to do that just in my crotch.

We're going to do that today right around 4 p.m. So check it out live at frogpants.tv or you can check the podcast out after. Make sure you subscribe to play retro and tell all your friends because it's a fun show about old games. And we love bringing it to you. Don't know anything else you want to say? I know that was about it. I'm looking forward to it. Let's do it.

Kiss my both. All right. Off he goes. Okay. That means time for a break. When we come back, Tom Merritt will be joining us because that's what he does on Wednesdays. And he shares with us the latest in technology, news, and information. We'll do recommendals after that.

But before that, songbreak with Brian. Yeah. So a singer named Trevor, Trevor, Hall, I just basically made an abbreviation of his name, celebrates his inner creativity with a new song called Shake It Out. He's got a brand new studio album called Trevor Hall in the Great In Between. Comes out September 15th. Whoa. May September?

Look at that. We brought you back. He is touring with the California honey drops. That tour, actually, I think, is wrapping up this weekend. So if you have not seen Trevor Hall, after hearing this song, you might say, oh, my gosh, I need to go see him live. Well, then you can. So there you go.

Nice. They will be touring again in September after the release of the album. So you can go to the Cascade Equinox Festival in Redmond, Oregon, and see them again. Here is Trevor Hall and the brand new song, Shake It Out. Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, no, no. Shake it out, shake it out, so you should know by now, so you should know well by now. Whoever been around this town They'll always like to get there

So, you should know well by now, whoever been around this dare, they always like to get there, they always like to get there. So if you're gonna come this way, I'm calling it just the same, we sing in a different way, we're taking it day by day, but love it don't be We're strong. We've got to grow holy water. Yeah.

You have to go around this care They always like to get there Say if you don't come this room I'm calling it just the same We're singing every day We're taking it's rightly But I've been a lot of the world is so we got to go on to your own. Don't look now, ladies, but these girls are trying to get their fat down, to put it plainly,

and this is how they do it in the States. little runt called Pinky Bandinsky, who had the goal to question my virility. And we're back from the break. Tell me again who that was, please. Yeah, that is Trevor Hall and a song called Shake It Out from his upcoming album, Trevor Hall and The Great In Between. Watch for all of that in September.

All right. Tom Merritt and coming. We're going to have a good time. Talk some tech. Talking tech. This is Tommy's room. And he's thinking about his room. Can you guess what he's thinking? No, I can't guess at all. But he'll tell us right now because Tom merits with us. Hi, Tom. Well, hello. Oh, I should turn on my camera. Oh, look at this. I'd love to see Tom. Hell, yeah. Look at you. Oh, he looks pensive. He looks very pensive. You look like you're thinking about tech. thinker. I've been thinking a lot about Microsoft and

Activision Blizzard lately. Oh, same here. Been a lot going on with them. They were supposed to have a deadline yesterday. I guess that got bumped officially, right? We're going to wait. Yeah. So the way that works is you have these deadlines because the shareholders agree, okay, we'll, we'll do this if you pay us this much. And we don't want you a walking away from the deal

if it gets, you know, tricky or whatever, which it has in this case. So they put in penalties. Famously, T-Mobile got paid by AT&T, a breakup fee, because AT&T wasn't able to get regulatory approval. So usually it's the person who, or the company that wants to buy, says we feel confident that we'll get regulatory approval and we'll pay a fee if we don't. It also stops you from just like whimsically going like, changed our mind, you know, and you've wasted a lot of time and money.

So that breakup fee was part of the deadline that was July 18th. However, if you can get both sides to agree, then you can change that deadline, right? It's not, the contract isn't usually written to say, and if July 18th passes, well, that's it. No, no other options. You can alter the deal, but you have to get both sides to agree. Now, there's some pressures against doing that. It's not an easy thing because the company being acquired might say, well, if you need more time, you're going to have to increase the price because it's been two years since you made your first, you know, offer and we're more valuable than we were back then.

Vice versa, the acquiring company might say you're worth less and try to drive the price down. That's not the case. In this case, both Activision Blizzard shareholders and Microsoft shareholders want the deal to happen, and they both feel confident that the deal can happen. They just know we need to have more time because the UK Competition and Markets Authority, set a new deadline to end their investigation, August 29th. So what they're saying is, it looks like we can convince the UK. Let's also extend our deadline. So they actually extended it all the way to October 28th.

However, they structured it in a new way. Before it was, if it's not done by July 18th and somebody walks away from the deal, that company that walks away has to pay $3 billion. dollars. However, they have now in this new deal put in three deadlines. So it's $3 billion until August 29th, at which point it goes up to $3.5 billion. And on September 15th, it goes up to $4.5 billion. The reason you do that is just, it's not because they don't trust each other. It's just good practice to say, look, we don't want to focus everyone's minds. We also want to be able to tell the regulators, hey, we've got actual consequences if this doesn't get done. So they've built

in a schedule that says, all right, UK, you've got until August 29th, after which we're going to suffer if this falls apart. So let's get this done by August 29th. It's, it kind of puts the pressure on everybody to get it done by August 29th. However, if the UK says, all right, we agree on your deal, but we have got paperwork. We have procedures we have to follow. So it's going to take longer than August 29th, the longer deadline allows them to go like, okay, this deal is definitely going to happen. We just need to file the paperwork. So we don't need to extend the deadline again. We'll risk the increased breakup fee to pass August 29th in order to file it and get it all done. The other thing that they added to this new deal is specifically saying

that Activision Blizzard could carve out parts of its business in order to get a deal done. The reason that's significant is if the U.K. says, you know what, no, we're not going to approve this deal at all. This specifically makes it possible for Microsoft to acquire everything but Activision Blizzard in the U.K. And that way they don't need the U.K.'s approval because the U.K. part of Activision Blizzard would stay separate from the rest of it. That would be a mess. Don't get me wrong, but it's technically possible. And that's another thing that they can now hold over the heads of like, you don't want us to do this, do you? I mean, that's an option for us. So this is all negotiating tactics to get everything done.

Do you think, but hurdles over here are done? They're not going to press any more appeals. No. They're not technically done in the United States. The United States FTC has an evidentiary hearing in front of an administrative judge on August 2nd. There's a small chance that throws all of this out, which is another reason why you want that October 28th deadline. You want a nice long amount of time in case something unexpected happens. Everyone expects that the FTC will lose its case in front of the administrative judge because they didn't get the preliminary injunction.

Last week, the law, the judge said, I don't think you're going to win in front of the administrative judge. So I'm not going to give you an injunction. It seems pretty likely you're going to lose. And everybody agrees, but we still have to wait for August 2nd to happen to find out if on the off chance they win. All of this gets torn apart. and we've got a whole new situation. The likelihood is that the FTC will lose that and then that will be done

and will be focused on August 29th. Unless the FTC tries to appeal that to the Supreme Court or something, which with Lena Con in charge, you never can rule that out. Yeah, I guess my, just from a perspective thought, this is literally the little company that made DOS buying the company that made pitfall hairy Mm-hmm Like if you go back to those times

Where those two things were relevant Yeah This would make no sense Especially in the numbers You make it pair it down to its skeleton It sounds really funny Yeah and if you start throwing that number around Like 60 plus billion dollars

You're just like what are we What future is that? Like it makes no sense to anybody back then But boy it makes sense now And it's interesting just to see such a high profile case like over like i'm hearing this case be talked about by people who have zero interest or connection or coverage of video games it's just about hey this is a gigantic corporate thing that everybody's got their eyes on and and it you know took up a bunch of government

time and that's interesting on its own and i don't know i find it i find it all kind of fascinating because at the end of the day yeah it's just going to be selling a bunch of video games and subscriptions and we're all going to have controllers in our hands and it's just them you know It's just a weird, a weird coming together of, like, serious international law life and video games. I don't know. It's nuts. My take on it, too, is I've seen some people say, like, wow, they're in a hurry to get this done. And I'm like, that's hilarious.

It's been two years. Like, this thing has been dragging out forever. But they are in a hurry to get it done now because, gosh, you don't want it to go on any longer if you can help it. I think that Sony is to blame for this coming down to the wire and going over deadline. Sony fought extra hard, lobbied extra hard, pushed legislatures, push representatives to really get them to fight this down to the last minute. And the signifying thing for me is that earlier this week, I guess over the weekend, Sony signed the 10-year deal. exclusive for call of duty, or not exclusive, but the 10-year deal that said it will not be exclusive, uh, so that if this merger goes through, call of duty will be available for the PS5,

for at least 10 years. And, uh, that was the big thing as Sony was saying, wow, they'll pull call of duty. Uh, and no, we're not going to sign that deal because we don't think this deal should happen at all. They finally caved. So with Sony reducing the pressure, yeah, they're no longer pressuring. I think the U.K. is going to come to a decision. My guess is we're likely to see the FTC lose on August 2nd, and then we will have a deal by August 29th. There's a 52% chance, I think, that it doesn't close on the 29th because of paperwork, because the UK will be like, well, we still have to process the investigation, and it closes sometime in September. I'm just trying to imagine the temperature

in the room in Sony's corporate offices. They sign that thing. They're all grumpy about it. They go out and drink sake all night, get really drunk. I got it all figured out in my head. I can see you the whole thing. There's a lot of somber faces. We try. I can't believe we have to sign this. Well, anyway, that is going to be a great conversation today as we continue down that road.

But also more stuff in the world of tech. That'll all happen today on the Daily Tech News show, 2 p.m. Mountain Time. I'll be there. It's Wednesdays. I love being on them Wednesdays. Be there for a bonus show after for the month, which is also very fun. That's right. If you're a patron at the executive.

co-executive producer level or above, you'll get that bonus show with Scott. Yeah, why not? Tom, anything else going on? You can tell folks about. Android Faithful had its second episode yesterday. If you're an Android fan or Android curious, by all means, check out AndroidFaithful.com.

It is the spiritual successor to All About Android, hosted by Ron Richards and Hwentway Dow, and Michelle is on it as well, if you remember him. And it's great. It's good to see those folks talking Android still. having a good time doing it. Great crowd showing up for the live show.

Lots of people subscribed to the podcast. So if you haven't joined them yet, go do it. AndroidFaithful.com. Dailytechnewshow.com, everybody. Thanks, Tom. I'll see you soon. See you, Tom. Yeah, I don't know if I'd call myself Android curious.

I dabbled a little bit with Android in college, but... I mean, look, if you're saying fully functional... Yeah, no, no. Adult female robot. I don't think I'm ready to say that, but yeah, you know. Yeah, no, it's kind of cool, though, because I think a lot of people thought that that, when it ended at Twit, they just thought, well, that'll be the end of that. And then, nope, it's got new life over there on the Daily Tech News show. Oh, you're talking serious, and I agree with you, yes.

It's very nice. Let's get into some movie recommendations, television, that kind of stuff. Yeah. I think there's a real chance for some winners here this week. If I can just find all these names, here we go. I think there's a chance for both winners and losers. Yeah. Brian's got a bit of a mechimental. Mechimental. I'm probably pronouncing that wrong, but whatever. I don't know. But let's find out together as I play this intro right here. Well, what do you recommend? That lovely refrain is a reminder that we watch things on streaming services and then come to the show and tell you what you should be me maybe watching or avoiding sometimes. We're going to do that again today. And with us so far is Randy. Hi, Randy. Hello.

Good morning, morning, stream. Hello. I am doing really well. As you know, I was the curator of the Monty Pythonathon at college, and that was 24 hours of Monty Python that I put on every semester in an auditorium. And that was all on VHS. And I still have those VHS types in a box in the garage. I did not know that you did this.

Did you do this in a venue or like what did you do? We got permission to use a biology lecture, Paul and projector and VHS machine, whatever those were called, BCR. And we showed 24 hours of Monty Python. Oh, yeah, that's awesome. That's really great. Yeah, and there were way more than 24 hours of Monty Python, so it was always fun to try to figure out what you were going to show in, in what order.

Sure. For your morning feud, for your feud this morning, I could have gotten at least eight of the 10 by just naming the sketches that are in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl. That was like the greatest hits. I mean, it's a reason, exactly. It's like, you know, name Michael Jackson's songs. Well, now that we've covered the thriller. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Yeah, that's awesome. Well, it's good to have you back. Also, Nicole Spagg joining us. Hello, Nicole. I finally figured it out. I was having to score on my iPhone. I don't know why it gets all wonky. I can tell, yeah.

Yeah. Some of the settings can be weird depending on your phone set, but yeah. It's good to hear you. though you sound great you're on your phone right now you sound good yeah I'm always on my phone I got tired of messing with a mic so you don't want to yell you don't want to yell for Mark every time you got to get on like no no no no straight phone or AirPod pros or something with it what do you just the just the set that they give you just the corded the corded uh set yeah yeah the earbuds sound great yeah sound really good thanks as good as ever hey did Randy

did Randy tell you that we saw each other no not yet he got to He got to witness my kids at their worst. Yeah. Oh, really? Oh, awesome. We had lunch at Dick Church in Costa Mesa, and it was a really good lunch in a really good place, and the spags were a little tired. Yeah. Yeah.

We were all just, we had a blitz, a blitz of theme parks, and the kids were just, I was like, they're just not themselves. And Ava fell asleep, and it was, she was cranky. it was a whole thing. And I was just like, oh, my God. Right? Like you did both Disney parks and Universal? We went to Universal first. And we did that for a day.

Mario business, yeah. Went to an amazing breakfast place called the Breakfast Club. And it was right on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And it was the old Hollywood. So there was, I have to tell you this, I found Frank Sinatra's star. I couldn't take a picture of it because there was an old guy singing. karaoke of like Rosemary Clooney

That is the weirdest That's really funny In a place called the Breakfast Club Was there a nerd a jock A rebel and a princess Their specialty is Dry Captain Crunch with Dandreflake sprinkled on top of it Oh good reference

They really did do it all You're absolutely right Like the only thing they could have done more Since they flew in and out of San Diego Was like go to Lego land and SeaWorld We did that last time, and I will never go to Legoland again. Really? That place is just the worst.

What's bad about it? If you have small, small children, if you have really small children, it's made for toddler-sized children. Oh, really? Okay. It's just a frenzy, and it gets kids in a state of, I don't know. It's almost like them watching or playing Roblox. It just gets them You can just give them a box of Legos

And they'd get the same enjoyment The same entertainment out of it basically No, it's the rides, the rides Like it's a very carnival-like at Legoland They're trying to get you to play the games And you get, I feel, I felt very harassed at Legoland All the kids are crying It's, you know, it's just, oh, I hate Lego Land

Continues to be my favorite, Lord of the Rings Kingsca though No, Lego Lange. The hobbits are in Eisengard or whatever he said, made out of Legos. That's awesome. Well, let's dive into our recommendals this week. We've got an order, and the order is today. Brian starts, as he always does.

Prime, why you tell me a bit about your clip here and why you chose it. Yeah, this is a movie, and I've made no secret about the fact that my film sack bonus episode for August is going to be about time loop movies. I'm a big fan of them. Randy, obviously, is as well. we had Palm Springs came up a couple weeks ago on this very show. Nobody here doesn't love Groundhog Day. We're all big fans of that. And so my episode is going to talk about some lesser-known time-loop movies.

And this one got either, I guess, suggested to me or recommended by the algorithm as a time-loop movie. And I'm going to say, I'm going to preface this by just saying, great concept, but poor execution and we can go right into the clip all right here you go Madeline think did you make some kind of mistake I didn't make a mistake

What did you make a mistake What did you do? What did you do? This This one piece of fucking coat I created a loop It wasn't supposed to execute

It was just in case the script got hung up I was only gone an hour But Wait wait wait wait No no no no no no no An hour I Okay

The code cycles up to the point A loop That's 3,600 600 3600 versions of me are going to show up every day at the same time and you just killed the first one

She's trying to kill me as well I believe you What is this All right so this I don't know if some people had Had audio issues hearing it But this is a movie called Madeline's And here's the concept

I don't care if I spoil this because by golly You know, if you make it through my description of this thing and you still want to watch it, power to you. This is a movie where a couple figures out time travel. There are a couple of engineers. They figure out how to create time travel in their garage. And the character, Madeline, accidentally creates a time loop. So when she sends herself through the time machine, she disappears for an hour and comes back. an hour in the future, but her, as you heard in that little clip, she had some code in there

that accidentally created 3,600 more Madelines that will appear in that same location every day at the same time. And because they invoke the time cop rule about no two Madelins existing in the same space, they decide that they have to kill every Madeline as soon as as she appears and these madelines get um increasingly violent uh they um oh really still getting no they're fine it's something with youtube it isn't us so oh gotcha okay so you know they uh they keep getting more madlins and they have to kill the madelines as they as they arrive um it's a very cool concept for a time loop movie and it's kind of it's kind of weird to call it a time loop movie because it's really a time travel movie that screws things up.

The only loop is that they have to keep killing these Madelins who are experiencing the time loop. The acting, I think it's even generous for me to say that this feels like a college film project. I've got that feeling from some of that. That seemed a little rough. Yeah, the acting is a bit rough. The music feels like somebody said,

hey, you know that stuff Tangerine Dream did for risky business? let's see if we can do that. It only features three. It sounded like primer to me. It does have that low budget feel of primer. And primer did exactly the same thing, right? Low budget, some people incongruously create this time machine in a situation you wouldn't expect people to create a time machine in.

And probably financially spent about as much as they spent to make this movie. They put a lot of their money into the special effects because you, you have a lot of scenes where you've got multiple Madelins all on the screen reacting to each other. And it's like, oh, that's really good. There are actually only three actors in this film. The woman who plays Madeline, the dude who plays her husband that you hear there that has to keep killing the Madelins. And Richard Real, who you know as the actor who created the jump to conclusions, Matt, in the movie Office Space. I love that that's your example of him.

That's awesome, dude. Because it's the first thing you think of, well, first thing I think of when I think of Richard Real is like that character right there, everybody's like, oh, that guy. Yeah, the guy. Love Richard Real. That's great. Here's what's weird, though, the concept as described by you. Yes. Very intriguing. That sounds super interesting to me. It's really cool for an idea. And here's some other problems that this thing has. They try to, they create this place that all the Madelines are before they keep getting yanked out into... into the real world, into the present, which, again, they didn't need to do that. They guess they need to explain how all these Madelins could have different, almost Michael Keaton multiplicity personalities, because you've got one that's kind of angry that kind of takes charge and she's got a scar and how did she get that scar? And then this other one that's kind of like, you know, follows and does everything. And then a little one that's kind of a little, a little bit of a sex pot.

It's like, how, you know, whatever. And they really, it's like a Saturday Night Live skit in the second, the last half hour of the show where they just don't know how to end it. So it just ends. They do have an ending to it. And it clears out the loop, but I won't say how they do it and what they do. Sure. It's untuby, so it's free to watch. You could pull it up while you're doing other things if you're curious about all this stuff.

but really really and we all agreed we watched it with hammond when he was here very clever concept really wish it could have been better in execution like in the right hands you get like tony colette to play the girl she can do anybody and have her get worse and worse and all that you get some directors who know what they're doing yeah you've got had something special you you rewrite the ending or figure out a better an ending that makes a lot more sense yeah um and and you're golden. Again,

the movie is called Madeline's Reck a Warning. Reck a warning. I like that. Mechamental. Okay. Mechamental.

Mechamental. Not mechamental. Like a giant robot. No, no, it's a giant robot. No, it's a meh. Although,

if anyone wants to bring a mechamental to the show, I'd be down to watch a mechemental. That'd be cool. Sure. Brackamental. Well, there you go. It feels like we haven't done a tuby

recommendation or, or anything for since we've been doing this. Yeah, I think it is our first 2B. It's available to rent if you want to pay some money to see it, but please don't. Don't do that. Just make up an email address if you have to give it to a 2B and if you're concerned about privacy issues. The good thing about 2B's commercials is that if you're doing it on a desktop, the ad blockers work. It just doesn't show ads at all.

So on TVs you're going to probably have to sit through them. Exactly. Randy, you had a question? Yeah, we think we're eventually going to see Perry Shen get a breakout role. Perry Shen? Perry Shen? In this movie? No, I definitely don't.

Not with the, not with the demonstration of his acting ability that we saw on this. Oh, I know him from something. Yeah, he's such a hardworking actor. We saw him in the film Hatchet. He's the, I watched the documentary about the voice actors in Gose of Sashima. He's in that. That's what I was on. Oh, he's in that too?

Yeah, he does a lot of video game voices. He's in Diablo 4 is a bunch of voices. And I think he's probably having a real good VO career, so he'll probably be fine. He's got, you know, he's in a couple fresh Rotten Tomatoes movies. Better Look Tomorrow is 81%. Victor Crowley looks like a horror movie is 67%. So, I mean, he's done some good stuff, and maybe I need to watch one of those. But this was not his best outing.

not his best outing like this yeah by the way hatchet also stars richard real really strange oh weird oh right they're all connected they're connected the old couple who live in the swamp yeah that's cool well all right then very so a me so commental a mechimental great great concept wish wish they could have uh made it happen a little bit better oh he was in snow piercer that's another thing i saw him in all right was he really the tv show of the movie uh i think it was the movie but let me just make sure yes 2013 snowpiercer although it says he's a voice actor but I thought I remember seeing him in a minute so I don't know maybe he just did VO oh he's Winston and sleeping dogs all right

I know this guy he's great but he'll probably just do video games for the rest of his life let's move on to who to have next I got Randy next Randy next Randy I got this clip all lined up do you want to say anything about it before I hit play I sat and rewatch this movie this week And I probably watched it most recently, like six months ago. So there's clearly something going on. I think I was in a mood for something really moody. This is a super short clip. And I hope people are going to know it.

But I also hope people who haven't watched it will go watch this movie. It's an incredible film. It's so good. And it's seven years old. So super short clip. Oh, my gosh. How did that happen so fast? Holy shit.

No kidding. all right well anyway here it is and this was the end but now I'm not so sure I believe in beginnings and endings there are days that define your story beyond your life like the day they arrived and then Jeremy Renner showed up and said

what's up it's actually going to be Forrest Whitaker showed up and like this so this is a rival from 2016 and um it's it for some reason was reminding me of up the Pixar movie weird because it starts so sad like you could just you could hear the sadness dripping off of that clip from the beginning of the movie yeah and it's so and it's and it's so emotional and it occurred to me that like if you watch up and you don't if you just skip the first five minutes of up and then you

watch up you don't get the depth of the film right that first bit matters right a lot in that movie you're right yeah totally and and in this one it's both the first five minutes and the last couple of minutes so you you might you know you might think of it as two movies because it sort of is it's a thing that happens to this character and amy adams is so amazing in this movie in general like she's just so freaking good yeah uh i didn't even really think much about jeremy runner like he's he's he's He's definitely there, but all of the acting is on Amy Adams. Yeah, she's the star of this thing for sure.

He's good, though, but not, you know, she's... Did you say the name of the movie? Arrival. Arrival. So this is... With the arrival. Don't watch the arrival. Yeah, very different.

Charlie Sheen. Yeah. Arrival is the movie, and it's Denise Vinileneuve, our favorite director, well, one of my favorite directors, but he would immediately went on the next year to do the Blade Runner 2049. He went after that to do Dune. Dune 2's about to come out before this Sicario and

an amazing film in 2015 he's just made nothing he can't make movies I don't like it's just not possible I don't know what his deal is but this is one of his best it's really good I hope you watch it Nicole it's it is ostensibly

about an alien invasion of Earth she's a like she specializes in language right yeah yeah linguist yeah you probably seen it no I've never seen it I've just seen the I'm really good at recalling movies when I just see the trailer. Oh, weird.

We're recently. It feels like I've seen it. Recently with my kid, we've been doing this thing where we'll watch a movie and then watch the trailer. So, like, I wanted to catch him up on what's going on in Star Trek. So we watched Generations and First Contact and Nemesis. And after each of those movies, we would watch the trailer and we would be so appalled at the trailer. like I like please do when you're watching especially when you're going to watch a movie that you haven't seen from the past don't watch the trailer first don't watch it first whatever you do I did that with Moonrise Kingdom and what pissed me off about the trailer after because I did the same thing not Moonrise Kingdom sorry

grand Budapest hotel was I turned right around and watch the trailer and the trailer had a bunch of scenes in it that aren't in the movie so pissed me off in a different way I was like you guys cut this stuff Like, I know that happens, right? You hear about trailers that have things that movies don't, but I was annoyed how much was in there, some good stuff. Anyway. Yeah, don't watch the trailer. Please do watch Arrival, especially if you haven't seen it. You're going to get such a lovely turn of events.

The way the movie is ordered and structured really leaves you with a huge emotional moment. And it's just awesome. I don't I it was one of those things where I after I watch it I'm like okay I'm really sad now I don't know exactly why I did this to myself but I you know like I guess I'm going to just visit it every so often in my life because I would you know there's an entertainment in feeling these things I have a Amy Adams movie you can watch that will make you happy oh what's that enchanted oh yeah it's like it's like her breakout right yeah well did you see Enchanted too? I haven't recommended it because I don't think I liked it did they get what's his name back? Scott Summers

Slash Sonic Dad What's his name? Marsden James Marsden The second mention on today's episode Oh yeah yeah they did But the main guy is Patrick Dempsey Which is you know

Oh right They got them all back Okay It's not as good though It was It wasn't as good as the first one That's unfortunate. I like that first one.

The first one was like this breakout for her and that I was like, oh, she's comedic. I guess the wedding crashers she was in and that was kind of comedic, but no one knew who she was. It was a really small role. But it felt like this was where you went,

oh, she can do serious stuff and this. Because at the same time, she's doing things like, you know, dark stuff, like indie stuff and whatever. But I just, I love her. She's always good forever. Maya Rudolph was in the second one as well. Yeah, she's good.

I like her. It wasn't good. It just wasn't good. I mean, it was fine, but it wasn't that good. It's the kind of movie, direct to DVD, kind of, it reminded me of like, you know, when Dizzy does Lady in the Tramp, too, direct to DVD. Direct to DVD, yeah, exactly. It's like crappy animation version of what made the film great. It kind of was, I get you. It wasn't that good.

Well, speaking of Nicole, oh, where was that streaming, Brandon? Amazon Prime, which is a really good. thing. When you want to watch something and you don't want to worry about whether it's going to disappear, Amazon Prime has like the most staying power for some reason. I've noticed that. It's weird. They keep their stuff longer than everybody is. I don't know why that is. Netflix feels like I never know one second to the next. It could disappear in two days if you don't watch it. I think she was in Wedding Crashers, Amanda. Maybe I got the wrong actress. She wasn't. Am I thinking to somebody else? Who am I thinking of? That doesn't matter.

don't know, but um, whatever it is. Before, before Enchanted. Yeah, you're thinking of Ila Fisher. I am,

I am 100% thinking of Ila Fisher. Thank you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She kind of looks like that. She's married to, uh,

you got to admit, though, you got to admit, look at her Imbb photo. She looks like, she looks like, she looks a lot like her in that photo. You have to admit.

Like, like, like, Amy Adams. Or not Amy Adams. I got a whole, I brought a whole third actress in. Fantastic.

All right. Let's move on. So, Nicole, you got a clip. What do you want to say about this? I watched this on the plane, and then I realized it's pretty much streaming everywhere. Netflix, I think, is on a number of other platforms. I was just looking for a nice, nice movie, and I got it in this. Nice.

Well, here's your clip. Hey. Can I help you with that, sir? Do you think I don't know how to cut rope? No, it's just we usually do that for you. Do you think I'm going to cut myself and bleed all over your floor and sue you? No. Then I don't need your help.

Have an excellent day. I love to be deeper. Idiot. All right. So Brian and I both thought, a hot second that Brian recommended this, but you didn't, right? Brian? Yeah, I looked back in the

in QuickTMS.L.I and I didn't, couldn't find that I recommended it. I remember talking about it. We had a big discussion about it in Discord and I feel bad because I feel like I pushed you away from recommending it. You jerk. It was you the whole time. Well, Nicole,

tell us all about it. I'll recommend it. I mean, it's based off of a book and the question you usually come. Is this a true story? And it wasn't a true story, but it was based off a book. This is called a man, a man named Otto. And you heard Tom Hanks. And you, so there's a lot of moments of his sadness and him, you know pretty quickly from this scene alone that he's a very grumpy man. And so as you go through the movie, you get little snippets of his life and his memories of his wife and the neighborhood that he

he lives in and he protects but he's kind of he's kind of done with everything and so there are some unalive triggers I don't like saying that word and John Green recently tried to convince us to stop saying it both John and Hank Green oh yeah Hank I saw the Hank video

I don't know why why can't people This is a whole other thing, but why can't we say death? I don't get it. Is that a weird thing now? The word suicide. Oh, suicide, I get. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right. I just, and so there was a clip that I was going to share, but it's, it's kind of poignant in today's society where he's attempting again, and he does multiple attempts. But then he becomes, so he's getting ready, I'll just tell you, he's getting ready to jump in front. a train but somebody has a heart attack and he falls into the guy that has a heart attack falls into the train and everybody's filming him and he's he's like and so he says he's a grumpy old man he's like why are you guys filming why are you helping yeah and so he he becomes a um a hero because he actually saves the man and so it's about his relationships that he's building kind of finding

connection with people and I think that's the message I like of the movie it's like when you connect with people and find a reason to you know get up every morning that's that's important so I like the message of the movie it's why I'm recommending it sounds it is a sweet for for some of the content you find here it is a really sweet film yeah that's what I was wondering about it is it the trailers again here we are in trailers again The trailers make it seem like, oh, here's, here's like, what's that Clean Eastwood movie or is a grumpy neighbor? Yeah, Grand Tresmo. Grand Tresino.

Tereno. Rizmo. You know, the one about fancy cars. Is it a salsa or something? No. That's Treeso. Oh, Torezo. Grand Torezo.

But, yeah, like. Like, we, that was like the deepest spider of rabbit holes, like, jub, jude. Yeah, it went down and it was like a spy out to about four other holes. It's amazing. Exactly. Yeah. But when I saw the trailer, I thought, oh, it's just grumpy man movie. You know, like I don't know if I'm really in the mood for that.

And from the way you described, and the way Randy, or Brian and Randy described it earlier, it sounds like something worth, worth seeing on different levels. So, yeah, it wasn't that long ago. May 21st is when I was going to mention it or going to recommend it. And then we watched Swan Song, and I immediately switched to talking about Swan Song. So I left Man Caldado on the cutting room floor. So I'm glad it worked out that it still gets a recommendal. Yep, there you go.

And this is where currently? Where is it streaming? It's on Netflix. I thought I saw it in a few other places. But Netflix is where was the first place I found it. It's also in Southwest Airlines. Oh, all right then. So if you guys subscribe to Southwest Airlines.com, don't worry.

You're covered. No, I mean, I obviously mean on the plane. When you fly, you get the app and then you get a bunch of free movies to watch on the flight. Are the other new ones? Do they have newish ones on that on Southlands? Yeah, they did. I'll just say it right now because it's not streaming anywhere. Hello, God, it's me, Margaret.

Yeah. I watched that on the way back and it was absolutely wonderful. Was it? Yes. I loved it. Based on the Judy Bloom deal? Yeah. Yeah.

It's wonderful. My daughters love that book. It's so good. I never read Judy Blume as a kid. Oh, my two girls were into it, and prior to that, my sisters were super into her back in the day. I read the, um, the, uh, fudge, the advanced, super fudge, the adventures of a fourth grade, nothing, yeah, and, uh, was Beezas and Ramona hers as well? Yeah, it was.

Yeah. Read all those. Never read or either God meets Mark, uh, it's me, Margaret. Didn't feel like I was the target audience for that one. Yeah, I think we were told we weren't, you know? I think we were, exactly, yes. Even though we probably were, but there was like a weird bias about Judy Blume Booker for girls. I told Mateo, he should watch, because he's like, oh, it's a girl movie.

I'm like, dude, if you want to learn about girls, like, it's not every girl, but it's pretty close. That's actually a pretty good point. Yeah. Why not? I grew up in a little town with a library that had a kid section. I read everything in the kids section. and the kid section was divided in half between boy books and girl books

and the Judy Bloom books were divided in half. And so like the boy side had like Superfudge and Freckle Juice but then the girl's side. Yeah. Like otherwise known as Sheila the Great was on the girl's side and I had to cross over.

I had to get a That's for you. Freckle juice is always breaking those barriers, breaking down those walls. I like all all those titles but freckle juice grosses me out. Sorry, just had to say that.

Go ahead, Brian. I found a soy product, a vegan product called Grand Chorizo. Great. Otherwise, I was going to buy the domain. Don't ask where the cheese comes from. Before we move on to you, Scott, I forgot to mention the main part of Universal Studios is Super Nintendo World. That's there. It's so cool.

I haven't been there, but my God, it looks so cool. Was it crazy packed like insane? It was insane. So, if you do find yourself going to Universal Studio, I highly recommend you get the VIP pass because not only will it get you access and the ability to skip the 180 minute wait to the Mario cart ride because it's a it was awesome. It was so cool. the tour will get you into places that normally you don't get access to so we got to go into the prop room we got to go on on set of a lot of the stage the stage area we I sent you the picture of us going into quantum leap so it was it was pretty cool to get a more advanced tour and you get breakfast and lunch included in that and it's a seven hour tour and the VIP pass alone allows you to just kind of pop up up. And first you feel a little bad,

but you're like, nope, I don't feel bad. I'm not standing in a line of 180 minutes. That's a lot. That's a lot. Yeah. Especially, can you throw turtle shells and shit like that? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

That's the whole point of the ride. It's like an augmented reality ride where you have a little hat that you put on. And then when you get in the car, it attaches to the hat. And then you collect shells and you throw them at, you don't want to hit the good guys you want to throw them and hit them at the bad guys so you just go around and

it's a lot of fun that's nice is there a blue shell that can screw up the first place person no I don't think so I think it's all they were all green shells I think but you do get rainbow road and all that fun stuff does everybody win their own race no

okay that's a great question we wrote it three we wrote it three times the first time team Mario one we were team Mario the second time team Bowser won and then the third time team Mario one so yeah interesting but it's a lot of fun and it Mateo wanted to go to Japan to to go to a super Nintendo world so I was really happy when they actually announced that they had one in Hollywood at Universal Studios so not that I don't want to go to Japan I just are there any other plan for the states like Florida or anything or do we know I don't know if they're if this is it like maybe they're going to do more it seems like it's popular enough

they could do one in florida they could do one and i don't know yeah there's it's insanely popular there's one plan for florida as part of um epic worlds or something like that that's got like a universal monsters area and gotcha a whole bunch of stuff that makes sense a separate yeah you would you scott would love the new simpsons area there they made springfield and they converted the old back to future ride into a Simpsons ride. That's cool. Although I'm saying a little sad to hear that. I almost got sick.

Oh, you almost got a little motion sick on it. Oh, my God. It was so bad. Oh, my God. That's no good. You're on a roller cooking. Yeah. So, but yeah, it's really kind of cool, the immersion.

And then, of course, the Harry Potter area, too, is pretty amazing in the castle and all that. Well, 187 minutes may not be worth that, but the rest of it sounds great. And VIP, maybe that's a way to go. Yeah. All right. Let's get to mine. This is a show on Apple TV Plus. I thought it was a movie when I first turned it on.

A lot of people thought it was a movie judging by what happens when you Google it. Yep. You're not wrong. And I went, and we were watching it. And I realized it at the end of the first episode because Kim started it as I walked in the room with popcorn. And I went, I didn't see the beginning or see the, you know, when she hit play, I didn't know. So when we get to the end of it, I'm like, wait a minute. Oh, my gosh, there's more.

So I'm actually really glad there is. The only problem with it is I'm recommending it before it's finished. but I think it's good enough to recommend now. Here's my clip. With any remaining passengers for flight K-A-29, please make their way to gate B-15. Good morning, everyone. This is Captain Robin Allen speaking.

Flight time today. Six hours, 54 minutes. in your seats. They're down, no! Back out! Operation has commenced. Votes, tablets. The plane is under control.

You need to see this. Plain via, of course. Someone is calling for help. Got family, loved ones? We got one job to do right now. Just get through to them. Finally get a hint to who our star is there. Right?

Yeah, what a voice. Yeah, that's great. So this is hijack and it's spelled like H slash jack, but it's it's hijack. It's H Jack. I don't know why they did it that way. It's a little weird. But it is a show currently, like I said, over on Apple TV Plus and it is basically the core of it is. It's a hijack movie where you're on a plane and a bunch of terrorists sort of take it over.

And you've seen this a million times in a million movies, right? You've seen Passenger 57. You've seen that thing we saw with Liam Neeson recently. I forgot the name. what was that called? I forgot. Anyway, uh, red eye, uh, red eye before that. Then we, it was week to week, right? Yeah, that's right. We had two in a row red eye and final, not final destination. What was it? Uh, but it was another like, it was another airplane. Yes. And it was good. Not stop. Non-stop. That's it. And it was good. Like, it was a quality film, but we've seen

these tropes a billion times, right? There's so many movies like this. Um, I mean, even Air Force one is just like it's one of those. And so I went in just thinking, well, this would just be a romp, you know, and I was thinking it was a movie. But the first one ends at 45 minutes. I'm like, oh, my gosh, I got to wait until next week. And then we just started binging it. And Kim and I really like hijack a lot, even though it is full of some of those tropes, but where it

gets interesting is because it's an episode or it's a week-to-week type thing, you are very slowly spoon-fed the motivations by the people taking over the plane. and it's not what you think it is. You think it's one thing. But then the next step is you're like, oh my gosh, that's not at all what I thought they were doing or what their motivations were.

And even at this stage, I don't totally know what the ultimate resolution is going to be. So it's one of these things that just kind of piles stuff on top of each other and has all the tenseness of these guys have guns and don't get out of your seats and then somebody gets out of their seat.

Again, it's covered in these tropes. But it's also managing to insert these really interesting stories. It's mostly a British cast with some folks from Dubai and a few other places because they leave from Dubai to go to London, to go to Heathrow, and

so this all happens within that seven hour period. And there are a ton of of actors who'd be like, oh, I've seen her in a thousand British shows, and I've seen him in a million things. The cast is great, diverse and wonderful. I was going to say, there was one person in particular. I can't find his name.

Is it Mohamed Enselde? crap. I don't remember his name, but everybody's putting in good work here. There are a bunch of actors you don't know. They're all kicking butt and making it great. Idriselba is infinitely watchable. There's a reason he's a megastar. But even his motivations are weird. I'm still trying to get my head around those. And his family back in Heathrow and they kind of do some of that story and then how the government works and how they're responding to this potential take over the plane because there's a whole bunch of time where they don't know it's being taken over. But they're also not answering the radio. it's a big thing it is a a wild ride with lots of interesting stuff and really has us hooked

i'm very excited to see how it how it hits their landing i hope they stick it because i don't think it's like a multi-season thing i think this is like a one-off a one shot okay yeah yeah and there's hijack to the hijacking there's no uh information about how many well i'm not able to find it really quick how many episodes there will end up being at least seven it's seven no it's a total of seven is it seven total and we're and we just got episode five today oh just second will be the final episode five just dropped uh yep there's two left you're right so there they're they're oh that's great to hear actually because i was hoping oh there it is seven part thriller okay no you're right it's very very good if you like this sort of thing this is not for the people who

hate movies about plane problems okay if you hate that it just gives you tons of anxiety you don't like flying anyway don't watch this um there's my my my trigger warning. But if you're into like thriller, high stakes, intense, you know, British stuff, this is, this is that. And I think it's very good. So go check it out. It is called Hijack.

Season 1 is currently running on Apple TV and is two episodes from being done. That is our list. And they'll all be up on quicktm. which is also linked on the website. It's already there. It's just that easy. It's amazing. It's almost like an AI did it.

But Brian did. He's our AI. yeah so go check that out AI is all Ibit that's right and there's a big long history of stuff we've covered on there so you can go back and see stuff

you've missed Nicole it's always good having you on I'm glad you had a fun trip she's gone she had to tuck out oh she had to leave all right well there's that and then Randy

to Dunaway see it Oh, you saw it. I've seen it. Yeah. I did not know you saw Uncharted. Your silence on the issue speaks volumes about what you thought about Uncharted. Well, it's a thing where I don't remember what I thought of it. Sweet.

I think it was like, I think we started watching it and then I started doing something on the iPad or started doing something else. And, yeah. That's great. So, yeah, there we go. That's great. It's great. I love it. It is like you're going to see it for the first time in a weird way. It kind of is, yeah. So, yeah, get your Tom Holland and your, your, your, uh, your, your, uh, your Marky, Mark on.

Mark, yeah, Wolberg, yeah. Yeah, that's happening this weekend. What's the biggest movie that you've seen recently and you got, you don't remember anything about it? Uncharted. And let me, let me go first. You just, but like, was it a big movie? I don't know if it was a big movie. It was trying to be. It was trying to be a big movie. Yeah. For me, it's Star Wars episode nine. I'm having, what's it called?

The rise of the skywalkers? I don't even remember the I went to the movies and watched that movie and I don't remember a damned thing about it. I remember not liking it, but that's it. I'm kind of with you on story and stuff. There's very, I remember some people somehow got redeemed when really shouldn't have for what they did. I remember an emperor bullshit that shouldn't have worked. I remember just thinking, well, this was not good.

Goodbye. But I don't remember any plot points, really. It's like really, yeah. I just, it's so weird when that it's a big movie that everybody goes and sees and you just immediately forget it. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? The one, the, the, the Zach Snyder zombie thing on Netflix, which I kind of didn't hate.

Oh, right. The, we did it for FilmSecck, right? Right. The Heist movie that takes place. Yeah, that's it. It's like, Army of the Dead. Oh, Army of the Dead. Heist of the Dead.

Yeah, that I have very little memory of. And that was supposed to be. But it wasn't really a theater, I guess. Which, you know, I ended up recommending Army of Thieves, which is higher rated somehow. Yeah. Please watch it. Army of the... Oh, the one with the German kid.

Yeah, it's a prequel sequel. Yes, with the German dude. That was really good. Yeah. I heard that was all right. And that German dude, by the way, is in Oppenheimer. Oh, that sounds about right? Of course he is.

Get your German dude in on your World War II business, right? Always get your Germans. We need some Nazis. So sign up. all right randy it's always good to talk to you we'll see you on film sack this weekend in the meantime go uh go fishing i don't know what no you okay bye oh that's a bed but done away go to dick church yeah go to dick church where do you go on sunday i go to dick church uh that's it for the show real quick i got a final thing to mention here uh this is a what is this hold on i'm on the

wrong tab okay scott get it together here it is it's an email it says hey guys first i love your show i can't say or i can say with all all honesty that yours is my favorite and i am subscribed to dozens of podcasts well that's nice don't you think oh that's very nice yeah we know you have your choice of many podcasts we're glad you chose tms that says secondly because i was born in 1961 i'm considered a boomer so maybe that's why i had this question in mind when i ran across your podcast years ago i thought the morning stream referred to the incredible strength of a man's morning pee i understand now the internet streaming pun but was that

sorry but was that other theory ever in your mind okay hear me out before the internet what else would the morning stream be l-ols sincerely loving you and all the regular frog pants stuff thanks for considering or consistently making my day better all right well that's a very nice thing to say first of all yeah yeah second of all

uh it 100% people may not believe me they can believe me if they want to or not it was a hundred percent based on we do a show in the the morning that is live streamed and in 2011 that was less common than you think right like we didn't even have there was no twitch well yeah there's still just in tv i think um or or some kind of crossover there was what live streamed dot tv there was uh youtube didn't have streaming then so we were kind of you know it was already kind of like mad max in it the best we could um but it was literally just to

say, yeah, we're going to, we're breaking out with this morning show and it's streaming in the morning and it's the morning stream. Like, literally that was the idea. It was nothing about taking a pee, ever. Some people don't believe me. I swear to you. I know. I know. Maybe you look at your track record, Scott. I mean, it's, oh, I don't blame them. I don't blame them. But I'm just saying if you are, if I am to be believed, I will tell people right now definitively, it was never about peeing. It was about streaming in the morning and that's it. Yeah, and I'm going to actually say this. Claire brought it up and I'm curious

about it too. His message says, I thought the morning stream referred to the incredible strength of a man's morning pee. Yeah, you know what? I've buried the headline. That is a weird thing to say. He's older than us. And I can't

tell you the last time I experienced the incredible strength of a man's morning pee. Well, I'm trying to think. The first digit in my age, I think, a three was a... If I drink a gallon or more a day, I can get a pretty good

plaster going. Yeah, okay. Maybe that's it. Maybe that's the problem is I'm not drinking enough water. Right. But I think, but even then, it's a strange thing to say, like you could just say... Incredible strength. Yeah, the incredible strength of a man's morning pee is a weird way of just saying, well, I thought it meant peeing in the morning. You know? Yeah. Yeah. That's a very different A very different way of saying. Well, anyway, I love this kind of feedback.

We might hear more about. Last month, during the meeting about our upcoming marketing projects for the dog daycare that I work for, the owner surprised me for all my hard work that I've put into the company. They got me a two-day park ticket to Disney World with plane tickets and a, a $500 gift card to use there. You're going to basically spend that before you get two feet into the park, probably. I wasn't expecting this and have never been gifted anything like this before in my life. It's still hard to believe.

I'm so excited and nervous since I'll be going alone and haven't been on a vacation since pre-pandemic. I chose Epcot and Hollywood Studios so that I could ride Cosmic Rewind and Rise of the Resistance. To celebrate this, I would love if the covermeister could work his magic. and play a song to celebrate. Thank you so much for all the hours of entertainment. You guys created daily that got me through all the challenges that led to me receiving this gift. Also, big thanks to P.Ptown Lounge for being the absolute best. Love the show, though.

P.S. if my brother, Jeff is listening, thanks for picking me up from the airport. Elizabeth from Columbus, aka Bephe Dino. Oh, Bephy Dino. We like her. She's great. We love Bephy Dino. I'm so, so jealous.

Biffy Dino is going to Disney World, my uncle. and his daughter, they're doing a, you know, just a two of them trip to Orlando and they're going to do all the Disney parks and all that stuff. I have not yet been to Disney World since they added, I haven't been Disney World in about eight years, so they've added a lot of stuff since then, including that damn Guardians of the Galaxy ride, so I need to get out there. Also, be careful down there. Don't die and melt and die, okay, everybody? Yeah, right, exactly. It's really hot right now down there. But anyway.

Yeah, she's there. She is actually there right now. So she's there until tomorrow. So I'm hoping that she's already enjoyed those rides and is enjoying them again. One of those things on that ride, by the way, in the Guardians of the Galaxy ride, as they do at the Disney Park for the Cosmic Rewind, I'm sorry, not Cosmic Rewind. What's it, escape from the collector? What do they call that?

Anyway, Prison Break? Gardens of the Galaxy Prison Break? Is that it? Something? Anyway. How am I not remembering that? I've been on that ride 100,000 times. They play a different awesome mix song as you go on the ride, and they change it up.

So there are like five or six different songs that you might hear as you're writing the Mission Breakout. That's it. That you'll hear during that ride. So the song I picked for you is one of those songs that you may hear. It's one of the 80s songs that Star Lord might be enjoying on his Zune as you ride Cosmic Rewind. That song is The Flock of Seagull's hit, I Ran, but since this is the cover part of the show, let's play a cover of it. And since we all like ska, most of us do anyway, we're going to play a ska cover of it. By the Hall of Fonics from their 2017 album, Masquerades, Volume 11, here are the Hall of Fonics and I ran.

I walk along the avenue I'd meet a girl like you. Me, a girl like you With open heritone, the kind of vise that hypnotized me through The hypnotized me through And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran on night and day

I couldn't get away A cloud appears A cloud appears above your head A beam of light can shine it down on you Shining down on you The cloud is moving nearer still Aurora for Realis comes in view Aurora comes in view

And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night in day I couldn't get away Reach out a hand to touch your hand to touch your face, You're slowly disappearing from my view Appearing from my view We've got a hint to try again I'm floating in a beam of light with you

A beam of light with you And I ran I ran so far away I just ran I ran all night and day I ran so far away I just ran I couldn't get away
