Listen, somebody back there through this piece of paper. If we don't find out who did it, we're going right back to school. You guys been playing around

ever since school started and I'm sick and tired of it. Who threw the piece of paper? Is anybody you tell me who threw it? Or we are going to go? Come back to school. Aw, man. There was a time where you could enjoy a simple ham and cheese sandwich in public. The morning stream. Well, of course, I am the supreme being. I'm not entirely dim.

Hello everyone. Welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream. It is Wednesday, August 30th, 2020. And this is the second to last day of the month, everyone. Yeah. So be prepared. Get in there ready for the 31st so that when you're done, you can immediately explode out into the world on September 1st as we enter the fall. You know, be ready, Brian. You want to be ready. Pump and spice season. That's right. You want to get over there and you want to get it done. You want Halloween coming. you want all these things. I'm actually kind of excited about this. Cool, weather, crispy leaves that you have to rake up. Yeah. Rake up. I'm thinking I'm going to probably mow them this year because it worked really well last year. We just let them fall. It's a really good way to do it.

Moem. I don't know why that played. I apologize. That's not supposed to happen. But yeah, like I'm a fan of fall. All right? That's just the deal. I think you are too.

I think it may be. I am a fan of fall. Is it our favorite? No, spring's my favorite. I'm a spring guy. You're a spring fella. I'm a spring chicken, Scott, is what I am. Do you do the spring cleaning or do you just never, what do you do?

I don't do any cleaning. No, I, when I do, I feel really good about it. I didn't this year and I'm doing, been doing summer and fall cleaning. That's basically what it is. I'm still doing that throw one thing away every day thing. That's really good. I'm starting to run out of stuff I don't like, though. Wow.

You know what I mean? That's a great problem to have. have. I mean, I guess, right? Like you're. Yeah. I just have too many things I still like is the problem. I have things that I think are important and that I need them and I don't really. But I have really fond feelings for them. I'll give you an example. This is a small one and I'm probably not going to throw it away because why would you? It's tiny and who cares. But you remember the little Dreamcast units, the memory units that had like their own little game buttons on them? Yeah, their own little LCD thing. Yep. I forgot what they're called. Shoot, they had a name. Anyway, I have like four of those. I can't give those. I can't throw them away.

You're talking about the little memory things that went into the controllers. Correct. They almost looked like little tamigachis. Yes, and that's kind of all they could do is really basic. Yeah. You know, I think in Sonic Adventure,

it let you manage those gems or whatever, the Sonic Gem things. Yeah. But it was really kind of a dumb idea, but I loved it at the time, and I just thought it was cool as like sticking a little Gameboy and every controller,

and so I kept those. I don't even have it. If you keep one and give three of them away in a, as prizes for something. That's not bad. They're small enough too. I could ship them anywhere.

The drag is, you know, now great, now we're spending money to throw away the cool stuff that we have. Exactly. Plus, you know, I am trying to be ecologically conscious about where I'm throwing

certain things away, like things that are very, plastic i'm trying to think well are these better suited for like a goodwill because they're still usable or should i take this and actually throw it away and you know with all this confusion to go to recycling plan to have the PCBs taken out of it and stuff right right we have a place where i took some computer stuff a couple years ago and they they assured me as much as you can assure someone that they take everything that you give them and they properly go through all they they melt down any aluminum, they take out any toxic parts, that's all separate.

You know, they supposedly have this whole process. But all I can do is believe them. I don't know if they do. Yeah. I have guarantees. I had some old monitors that were of questionable quality that I donated to one of those rage rooms, you know, those rooms where you can go in and smash stuff with a baseball bat when you're really frustrated. And I asked them, like I said, do you, you know, because you've got to.

to recycle CRTs and stuff like that. They're like, yeah, this actually makes it really easy because we can give them a box of glass, a box of plastic, a box of, you know, printed circuit boards, et cetera. So it's like, all right, well, that actually feels, you know, makes me feel a little bit better.

Is that just a local thing for you? Like, just someone around there that does this? Yeah, it's a little independent. It's like escape rooms. It's the new escape room or not like escape rooms have gone away, but it's the, you know, rage rooms are basically what... Did that what they call them? Rage rooms?

Is that the name? Rage rooms, yeah. Or smash it. I think smash it might be one of the big... Let me see if I can find a Utah rage room here. Yeah. So, smash it. You 100% correct.

Smash it, Rage Room in Ogden, Utah. I don't want to go to Ogden. Boo! There might be a closer one. Yeah, there's a Salt Lake City one. It looks like. Yeah. Okay, that's actually a really good idea, because I got...

You know, old keyboards, old, uh, uh, monitors, um, there's one back here. You can't, you can't see it, but, um, for all those nerdtaculars where you would have me bring a bunch of screens for the contest. Oh, yeah, for the All-Stars, yeah. We have like old, uh, you know. Oh, right. We had to buy some cheapos, didn't we? Yeah, and I think, well, some of them I just had, and they were like VGA, so we had

used, you know, none of this USBC and stuff existed. Well, we needed, I think all we needed was one that we put, in front of Tina because we had, you guys all looked at the, the big screen behind us. No, we all had, we all had one to look at. Oh, we had one, no, we had one at the end, at each end. Yeah, we had one in each end. Yeah, we had one in front of, if we had one in front of each you, the audience wouldn't be able to see you, but that's right. We did. We had three. Yeah, three total thing. Tina had one and then, and then one of each other. Yeah, and it worked pretty well, and we had all those cables we had to worry about and stuff, but, you know, they're the

older style, VGA style, you know, connectors and all that stuff. Well, one of them, I had drawn all over with a gray or with a silver sharpie um just doodled all over it and we used it for 2013 14 and 15 at least maybe even 17 uh-huh um and it's old and probably never going to be used for anything ever again even when we may do one of these events again we'll probably have newer screens because none of these connective technology we don't want to have a thousand dongles trying to make them compatible for 50 years so i'm thinking about that one just since it's drawn on maybe I could do like a charity thing like a there you go yeah I don't know it's doodled on the back or a doodle on the front front and back but not the screen

got so okay the bezel has the bezel yeah and it's one of these it's back when bezzles were an inch and a half thick not the thin we have now so there's room on there for stuff and then the base of it is all drawn on the back has a bunch of doodles on it I don't know bang-esque bezel doodle yeah it could be a fun thing someone else in the chat yes we hate Ogden I'm not the only one It's a dump. Anyway, so that's all going on. The VMUs, that's right, Brian.

And I think Joey said it as well. The Dreamcast VMU is the little thing that you've got a bunch of. Virtual memory unit, right? I believe it was what I stood for. And they were your memory cards, which was the style at the time. So it would store your C-Man. That's right. He said that very carefully.

Your Leonard Nimoy, Seaman. Seaman. Boy, if you've never seen Seaman. See-Man, sorry. I hope you're going to feed me. soon. I'm going to die if you don't feed me. Still one of the weirdest games ever made

ever. For sure. Yeah. Speaking of weird things. So there's a little bit of a grandpa fight going on around here. Let me tell you about it. Ooh, love it. All right. So Van calls me Pops, which is by design. We wanted to have a distinct difference between me and any other grandparents. Kim is Nana.

I'm Pops. And on Dylan's side, his grandfather on that side is Grandpa. all right normal just kind of and he doesn't want him any fancy anything he just wants to be grandpa which is fine with me I'm fine with pops it's great so pops is cute plus Phoebe's already saying pops it's great so short easy to understand you know pronounce and all that but yesterday we had the boy all day and I was seeing him on and off between work and stuff

and at one point we went to end and out because he wanted fries and he likes him over there so we drive over to in and out and he's in the back seat of the car And I go, I just randomly yelled out and said, hey, Van, do you like Pops? And he goes, yep. And I went, do you like Grandpa? And he just pauses for a second. And he goes, sure. Now I'm not saying that there's a division.

And he loves his grandpa. Don't get me wrong. Dillon's dad. Totally sweetheart. Love this guy. He's a name is Shane. His name is Shane. He's a wonderful dude.

I just love him. But now I got this like fake drama I want to create. and like yeah oh good good yeah so i'm going to text him later and go Shane um i hate to tell you this but uh i think we got a little bit of a little bit of a problem he doesn't like you as much as he likes me and uh you know create some fake drama around it because what he needs to do now is when he's over with grandpa he needs to go hey vandy like grandpa yes how about pops sure okay in a pinch he's fine yeah yeah love the one you're with baby CSNY told us.

I feel like he's Vitzvan who's playing us. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Yes. He's having a little moment here. So, uh, anyway. I'd love Pops a lot more if he got me at PS5.

Yeah. Right now he just wants anything with space in it. He wants like rockets and little astronaut doll, uh, not dolls, action figures. Oh, cool. Uh, that kind of crap. So if anyone wants to. Nice. He's gone from dinosaurs to astronauts.

Yep. He did pass to future, future to past. That's how you work. Hey, I found a story for everybody before we get into the feud today because the feud today should be pretty rad. I'm excited about this. We have a professional, former professional wrestler with us, although in my mind, he's still out there kicking ass and taking names. Yeah. Yeah. But before we do that, I got a story slash joke that I just really liked. And it's about an Indian guy and Einstein. And this is supposed to be a true story. I can't take. tell you much about who this is that tells the story, why he told it. It looked like a college lecture to me, like somebody in a sort of an assembly style thing at a college, and he uses this

anecdote as part of his speech or whatever, but I know nothing more than that. Warm up the crowd, basically. Kind of, yeah. It's hard to say, but here's that joke, because it made me smile. And if you're, look, if you're from India, this may even be more meaningful because maybe there's some cultural stuff here, I don't know. But it made me laugh, and I thought I'd share it. So here you go. So this Indian guy sitting next to Einstein, and Einstein says, you know, it's a long flight. Why don't we have a competition?

I'll ask you a question, and if you can't answer it, you give me $5. Then you can ask me a question, and if I can't answer it, said Einstein, I'll pay you $500. So he told Einstein, all right, you go first. So Einstein said, how far is the moon from the earth? And the Indian thought and thought, he said, you know what, I really don't have the exact answer here is $5. Then he looked at Einstein and said, what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four? And Einstein worked through all of his knowledge of science couldn't figure out what he was talking about, put his hand into his pocket, and gave him $500. Einstein's turn again.

Einstein said, before I ask you my next question, what does go up the hill with three legs and come down with four? and the Indian put his hand into Spoggan and he gave him $5. Isn't that great? That is great. I love it. I just thought it would be a good thing for this show. Yes, that's awesome. I enjoyed that story a lot.

All right. Let's do a, I hope to hear from some of our Indian listeners, which I know we have a few. So I would like to, is that an old story? Is it apocryphal? Is it based on an actual, you know, real thing? Right. Is that how people made money back then? Yeah.

Is this the exchange that you make in India? I don't know. We don't know. We're just dumb white guys in America. All right. We're in the mountains. We don't know. We don't know.

We don't know. All right. Dunaway incoming. Let's get that going here. Hopefully he brings all of his CRTs and VCRs and rewinders with him when he shows up. Yeah. And his four ancient consoles and RCA converter kit. That would be cool.

Exactly. All right. Let's do this. Where is this? Hey, he, he, he, he, hey, hey, hey. Hey, look it is. It's our pal, Diane Brunway. That's not great. Dian Brunaway. Yeah. Hey, Dian Brunoway. It's welcome back to the show, Mr. Bring Everything to North Carolina because you're crazy. I love that, that you did that. How are you feeling after the big trip? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Feeling pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Feeling pretty good.

Feeling pretty good. Felt better before I started listening to two morons talking about, what should I do with all these VMU units? What do you think? You know, look, you want me to, you want a museum, don't you? You want, you know, those things belong in to take one room of your house, Scott, and make a museum out of it with all of your retro gear. Yes, and then travel with them.

And then if it's over here, light going, I had a 19-inch CRT, Trinitron. I'm just going to send it over to the rage room, let them bring the shit out of it. And I'm like, I hate you. Yeah, this is. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. I'll send it to you. You want it? It doesn't, you know, I've got another one. I'll send it. No, I don't know. I don't need all that. But I'm just, yeah. Yeah, but the VM unions, come on, man. It's a little, it's a little blasphemous to you to hear these things, isn't it? It is terrible. I have a VMU unit. Oh, yeah. I have, I have a one VMU unit and I have about four or five or five. Incorrect. I have about four or five Dreamcast controllers of which none of them have VMU units. So you need more. direct sir more VMU units hey Brian I know where to send my VMU units yeah good fill in your controllers let him collect all the crap I over here will not also Brian don't know we will pay for shipping yeah it'll be fine absolutely pay for shipping it'll be fine of course you will

let's welcome our our guest player today and we have on the line with us a big scary wrestler man Joey image he's going to throw a chair at us maybe a maybe a being a dream cast I know right Tell him, Joey. What's going on, Joey? Also, big gamer. Can you all hear me? Yeah, we can tell you here. Oh, yeah, we can hear you just fine.

Okay, good. I just hooked up my different... Your stuff. That won't stop us from talking over you, by the way. Yeah, that's okay. I understand Brian's dilemma, but I've got five Dreamcasts and about 11 controllers. Wow! Only six VMUs.

Dreamcast is my favorite console of all time. I've got one brand new in the... the box from March of 2000. Dude. That was only open once by me when I did an unboxing video of it. So you bought, so that was one you purchased as a new device back then, right? No,

no, no, no. Somebody, so short story long, a friend of mine won it at a carnival a million years ago, when it came out, he won it at a carnival. Then he said I was in the process of moving when I actually brought it home, so I packed

away somewhere, forgot about it. 15 years later he was moving again and he found it again and it was still sealed in the box everything and he said you know what if i haven't used it by now it's clearly not that important do you want it just pay me for shipping yeah so it cost me 20s it was sealed in fact if you watch my youtube video you can see me open it i was almost like in tears i didn't want to open it but i had to but it was just in pristine condition that's awesome yeah i loved that thing too my one of my favorite consoles ever yeah i've got like seven or eight VMUs it bums me out when done away i've had it i've done why i've and I have talked about this at length, but it bums me out how Sega,

what they could have done if they just got in their Japan and U.S. headquarters people together. What could have been for Sega? Hey, there's rumors of a Dreamcast Mini. Whoa, I'd buy that. For some reason, the rumors seem more serious this time around. There's been rumors for years, but the last couple of months, they've been really kind of ramping up, and I don't know. Dude, even if you put it out there several times, polls for which would you like to see next?

Sure, sure. Right. Look, if they ignore them, and they're like, Well, here's a poll open, never mind. If they did that, here's what I, all I care about is put Soul Calibur on there and put NFL 2K on there. And Choo Choo Choo Rocket. And Choo Choo Rocket. Don't forget the Choo Rocket.

You have a Dreamcast, right? You have one, don't you? I used to. Don't have it anymore because I was a dumb ass and got rid of it. Oh, my God. I almost want to donate one to you, but I have to. No. Oh, I know.

You need all that. I can't do that. I have to get. Let's not even get into how many hard drives I know you own. We won't even, we won't even talk about it. how many hard drives you. I've got 14 that have not even been used yet from the last three or four years. Yeah, Joey was, for a while there, Tom Merritt and I would, we'd have a little bit of tease back and forth to Joey because it was like, oh, how many hard drives you buy today?

How many SSDs did you get yesterday? He's got all the data, guys, all the data. Yeah, Tom would like link me on Twitter days where Amazon would have like a lightning sale on a hard drive and he would send it just send you that and not say anything. It was very subtle but hilarious. Yeah, he loved doing that. Um, well, uh, Free Ranger says, and Crazy Taxi and JetSet Radio. You know, I wonder if I could play Crazy Taxi now if it would feel too much like work. Oh, man.

No, no, it's good. It's still good. It's still good. It is still good. It's still good. It's amazing to me that that IP doesn't have some kind of rebirth right now. I don't, I can't understand it. I actually would love, like an updated, like 4K PS5 version.

Yeah. You know, you're not even in a taxi. You're in a, you're in a lift and give us all of the, uh, the problems with lift passengers. Like, yeah. Oh, God. Oh, I've added a stop at the 7-Eleven that's two blocks from my house, and I'm going to take seven minutes instead of the five you're supposed to give me. I could walk there in 11 seconds.

Right, exactly. What I love about that game, though, it has a basic idea that has not been exploited, which is in the day, it was all about get there as fast as you can, everything's on a timer, and then keep doing it, hurry up, and it was kind of arcade-centric that way. You make a proper new version of this. You go really stylistic with it. You dig deep into the music and all,

because that's part of what made that game great. And then you make real missions. Like you have mission-based stuff. I'm not saying you've got to make a crazy story, but, you know, just a more in-depth sort of bunch of systems in a modern... Well, then you're playing Driver for PS-1. Well, I love Driver, dude. Driver was great.

They do have Crazy Taxi classic in the app store. Yeah. Yeah, so you can play it on the iPad. They have it on Steam as well. can get jet-set radio and a pack and everything. I'd like to see a taxi version from the perspective of the customer. Oh, yeah.

You're just the guy getting picked up. Holy shit. Yeah, you have to like, if you don't jump out of a certain time, the car crashes and you're dead or whatever. You can also be the, I forget which character it is. I think it's the guy with the fishing hat on.

In that Sonic Racer's game, that's their Mario Kart rip-off. Yeah. You can be that dude in a taxi. It's a big old taxi. It's great. Is that Axel or is that? It is Axel. That's it.

Yeah, it's the guy's the white. Yep, yep, that's Axel. And he's in a big old taxi flying around with Sonic the Hedgehog and everybody. He's a big old taxi. That's a good game, by the way. If you're looking for like a good Mario Kart alternative, it's not a, it's not crap. It's actually pretty good. Shen Mu is in it, and it's real dumb.

The guy from Shenmu, forget his name. You relax over there. That's one of my most favorite series of games. And the guy's name is Rio Hizuki, by the way. No, look. I've heard Scott say this. You're just not good. It's boring.

No, here's what I would say. I'm going to, no, I'll agree with you. Shenmu is a very, very good sleep aid I found when I was playing. Oh,

wow. Oh, you are, you are chewing me today. Don't worry. That's, I can say these things because Joey's in Jersey or New York or something, and he's not going to beat me up from there.

He can't. I wouldn't anyway. They'd make planes, Scott. Oh, they do? Plus your backs. Your backs all messed up.

I'm friends with, I'm friends with the guy that does the English voiceover for that character for Riozuki. And I'm not going to tell me so that. Yeah, don't tell him. I don't want trouble from that guy. I love that guy. I don't want trouble from him. All right. Well, let's get our crap together here and figure out how this game's going to be played and see if we can win you some prizes. Hey, Brian, explain to Joey how this works. Hey, Scott. It's time to play the tadpool. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those

answers they can guess. Joey, your job is more important than ever because you're You're going to be working with either Scout or Brian. If your team wins, you get a prize package that includes crazy. No, I'm just kidding. Orbital Racer, C-R-I-S-Tales. Ooh, Orbital Racer and Chris Tails are excellent. Those are great games. I don't even know if Orbital Racer is.

I just heard of it yesterday for the first time. I didn't look into it. It's good. It's real good. Yeah, I like it. I have that game. Awesome. Well, these are nice prizes.

All right. Mobile game or is that Steam or something? Steam. Those are Steam games. Yep. So if you have one of the, thing called steam deck you can play a mobile what's that thing what's the thing what's that thing what's that thing called i have uh steam deck yeah i have both actually plugged in charging saying

you sure haven't played me in a few weeks i'm surprised i'm surprised my rg ally was like come on leave me alone already yeah no kidding i'm surprised you don't have four of them but whatever that's just how you roll yeah um i was on my steam deck last night till like one a m because would you please finish days gone uh i want to finish days gone uh i want to finish days gone i want to finish days gone. I do. I saw some great video yesterday of a whole bunch of zombies getting killed by stuff. No more Shenmu comments until you finish days gone. All right, David,

deal. If you finish days gone by the end of the year, how about this? If you finish days gone by the end of the year, I will send you a Dreamcast. Oh, my gosh, I'm doing it. Oh, wow. I'm doing it. Okay. That's a nice. If you had that, if no one has that on their bingo card, let's do this. I'm doing it. And I'll tell you what, I'll double it. If you watch

Parasite. If you watch Parasite by the end of the day, Joey will send you another dreamcast. By the end of the day. I said if you finish days gone by the end of a year. Yeah. By the end of the day. If you 100% it by the end of August, I'll walk the dream cast on myself. Wow. Well, I'm not making you do that. You're

backwards. At the end of the day's gone. Yeah. All those days gone. I get it. I get what you did there. All right. Well, let's do it. We got our stuff up. We're good to go here. All right. Okay. Put chands on your buzzers. Oh, shit. I'm not ready. We asked 390 tadpoles to give their best answer to this. What fictional food or drink do you wish was real? Scott.

Oh, how come I didn't ring? Oh, I have my meat. It's my bad. I'm going to say slurm. Slurm. Slurm. Show me. Slurm.

That is a really good one. Oh, really. It's pretty good. Number three on the board. Two answers will beat it. Brian, do you have any ideas of what fictional food or drink the Tadpool wishes was real? Well, I think butter beer would be a really good answer, but isn't there a real thing, too, though? But I think it's always fictional food.

Well, they fake that. I'm going to go to butter beer. It doesn't matter if it's the right answer. Yeah, yeah. That's right going on. Yeah. All right, show us butter beer. Yes and no.

It's number four, by the way. Universal Studios has a thing they call butter beer. It's like a vanilla cream soda with some other. things in it that make it taste like butter beer, but it's not, there's no alcoholic beverage butter beer out there that's beer with butter. Yeah, they have a fake

thing. Were they given kids alcohol in Hogwarts? Holy cow. Well, it was magical thing, right? It wasn't actually alcohol. Right, exactly. Most alcohol is magical. That's a good point. So the board is ours. I'm excited, Joey, you and I have to do this now together. That's right.

So I take all my me on team dream cast yeah yeah dream cast eight answers still on the board you have anything that jumps out at you there dude uh yeah actually um and i don't remember what it's called is it uh nant tuckett or whatever the hell it's called oh yeah yeah nantucket or whatever the hell it's called oh yeah that's exactly it's called isn't it yeah potta oh you might be right you might be right uh i don't know i'll talk it is it well it may brine will probably know if it's the family i don't know okay the beer and koha you might be right you might be right Cohog beer. Yeah, there you go. Cohog beer. All right, let's do it. All right. Show me, Paw, tuck it.

Oh, come on. Ten answers and that one's not there. Not even, like, let me look and see here. I don't think anyone. Number 38 on the list. Yeah, not even, not there at all. Not found in list is what I'm getting back from. Oh, come on.

Damn, dude. What a scam. This whole game's a scam. What it works. All right, Dunaway. can you can you bet i'm i'm going to stay in the i'm going to stay in the in the drinking area and go with some romulan ale oh man that's going to be number one damn it that's a good one romulan ale i like it my brother calls everything that

you just had to had to be real the uh the board so um you know if you're in my be reeling i'm be reeling the board show me romulan ale Number six. Pretty good. That's good points. That's good points. That's number one. I know what number one is.

Are you thinking? No one is? I think it's going to be under the sea. Under the sea. But not like, not that way. I think it's going to be some crabby patties. Oh. Because people actually get those little gummy forms.

We get those all the time. Yeah, we keep some, we're so focused on drinks here. They're not fictional, are they? Well, yeah. Well, that's what I thought with the butter. beer, too, but then they make a copy us. So, eh. Yeah. They're not true crabby patties if they're made with gummy.

Right. Gummy patties. Right. All right. Show me. That's your answer, right, Brian? Is this what you're saying? No, I'm going to go with something. Of course it's crabby patties. Crampy patties. Okay, good. All right. Show me crabby patties. Do you want to strike? Do you want a strike? You got a strike. You got a strike,

you bastard. Craby patties, uh, number, number 12 on the list, by the way. At least it was on the list. All right, Joey. Joey, we should aim for something edible solids here instead of drinks. Yeah, I say, can I go ahead, yeah. I say cheesy poofs.

Oh, wait, those are real. There you go. That's a good way, too, cheesy poofs. Aren't those real or cheesy puffs, I guess. All right, you know what? They're not real. Once again, it doesn't matter the tadpool says. No, it's a true point.

Let's go with cheesy poofs. Why not? All right. Show me. cheesy poofs. What is kidding me? I wish I was kidding. I wish I was kidding.

Cheesy poofs was number. I'm not answering ever again. Two strikes in a row I got. Jesus. Yeah, one person said cheesy poof, so it's tied for 33rd place. It's higher than Peter Ruebush. Exactly, yes. It's higher than pot took it.

Damn. Okay. All right, Dunaway. Keys are in your hands. What car would you drive? Now I'm worried. Seven answers. still on the board.

I mean, including number one and number two. I gave two of the most nerdy answers ever with Romlin L. and Butterbeer, and those barely even made it on the left-hand side of the board. Yeah. Still on there. I believe in you, dude.

I know you can do this. I do too, but at least Butterbeer showed up, so maybe there's some Potter fans out there. How about some chocolate frogs that you have to chase down? Oh, sure. There's probably, yeah, we got Potter fans. I'll bet this is on that list.

All right. Show me chocolate frogs. Oh, wow. It's pretty crunchy, would it? Number 11, barely missing the top 10. Barely. I got the next one. Crunchy, oh, you do, do you?

No, no, no, no, no. I'm not, no, I can't. I just have an idea. You have an idea? All right. Well, I'm going to, let me throw one out. I'll call it, um, now I forgot. I had it in my head.

I was going to do it. Yeah, one strike left each of you, by the way. Seven answers. I wish spinach was real. I must stay with, um, that's a bad idea. Hold on.

You know, I've put everything on. I know, I know what weirdos in the chat would say, or weirdos in the, the tadpole. They would say, uh,

unless I get vetoed by Joey, I'm going to say blue milk from, uh, blue milk. And brew's, Blue Milk. Why would you want that to be real, though? Well, you wouldn't want it to be, but it's ironically you want it to be. You know, you're better than a blue waffle? Well, you don't want that. I can promise you that. I learned, I unfortunately know what that is.

I hate that I know. I drink blue milk all the time. I know what a blue waffle is supposed to be. Do not look it up anyone. It's the most horrifying thing you've ever heard of in your life. All right. Probably shouldn't have even said it. Yeah, I've warned everyone. All right. So we're saying, uh, blue milk? Blue milk? Blue milk. Blue milk? Blue milk. Blue milk. All right, show me blue milk Oh my God Yeah, I'll play this game, very good

Number one, number one I love Scott It's still in our corner here Shenmoo hatred or not And just so you don't like What about green milk? I lumped, there was one person who said green milk I lumped them into the blue milk

Any milk, okay I was going to say Wait, can I say something without it being the final answer? Of course, yeah, you can throw it answers? You might give Brian Donaway an answer, but yeah, whatever. Scott, I was going to say Scooby Snacks. Oh, that's not bad. Oh, that's a good one.

That's not bad. You know what? I endorse this cartoon foods. Cartoon foods. If you want to go with that, I can go with that. I'll endorse it. Let's do it. All right.

Let's do it. Show me. Scooby snacks. Ruby snacks. Are you kidding me? Yeah, Scooby snacks. I only had three answers. They were all garbage.

Number 21 on the list was. scooby snacks why do these people hate me so the only way that joey can win brian is it's now up to you to run the board with the remaining six answers no pressure jesus jesus this may have been a tactic yeah this may have been a tactic strategy yeah um joey is god you guys have anything i have i have weird stuff like i'm another one guys started saying some cartoons but then they did didn't do it. I was thinking like green eggs and ham, but I think that's actually people make that, don't they? Well, you can, but it's the same as butter bear.

It's just like it. You can fake any, any fictional product into making it look like the thing that's portrayed. Yeah, blue milk and or had blue milk in it. You can make blue milk. Yeah, true. You go to Disneyland and get blue milk. That's right.

That's got to, I realize I'm on the opposite team, but that's got to be up there. No, no, no. No, let's do it because we want you to win now. So, Brian, what do you? I did it too. What was it? What did you say? What was it?

Green eggs and ham. Blue eggs and ham. Yes, Scott, that's right. Did you ever read any Seuss? I said green. Green eggs and ham. Yeah, well, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Scott.

He's the one of said blue. Did I say blue? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I said it. I meant green. Green eggs and the hams, please. All right. Show me.

I do not like them, Sam. I am. I do not like green eggs on hem. Oh. Oh, wow. This has got to be the, like the, the, like the, one the worst showings you guys have ever had. I'm the first one against four striped.

Yeah, you may be. You're the four striped. You're no kidding. That's good, right. One green eggs and ham, so again, also tied for 33rd place in the list. Jeez. That's way down there. All right.

If I were to say, Lord of the Rings. Answer on the board that I'm good. Were you going to say, Lord of the Rings, hold on. Second breakfast or something. Oh, that's. funny what else would it be that is funny it would be a lembis bread

oh lambas bread oh my god one little tight is enough to fill a grown man it's the stuff yeah he wrapped it and leaves dropped a bunch of it and sam was or sorry Frodo was pissed because he thought Sam took it all and all that he told the lembus how you sell it yeah yeah mr Frodo I didn't mean to

mr Frodo he says then they made then they had sex you thought what I thought it was lambus or something. I know. A lot of people said lambas. I had as many lambuses as lemmises. I had to go looking at myself.

But he said limbus bread then, huh? All right. Limp bread. Limpest bread. What if I were to say Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Would that help you? What do they eat? Or drink specifically?

Some tuna? Drink? Some tuna. You're talking about the, he's talking about all the, the um the dolphins so long it thanks brother fish yeah

um is it fish all right I'll quit torching you the pan-galactic gargleblaster number five oh my god of course Jesus

shit it's funny seven and eight comes from the same source a pan-gallactic gargabot definitely a drink uh seven and eight come from the same source a movie called

Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory do you guys want to oh my god the everlasting gobstopper That's number seven. They are. They are, but they're not everlasting, is the problem. Yeah, not the ones, exactly. No, no.

I've never finished one. And they did the, what was the, the bubblies? That's an everlasting gobstopper right there. Oh, wait, let me look at yours, Brian. What do you got there? Is it white? This one's white. Because I have the Christmas gobstoppers in my gum.

Yeah, that can't be fictional. Brian's holding one. Yeah, it's got one in his hands. Look at that. This is my gumball machine, which is filled with Christmas everlasting gobstopers. Do you have to put money in it? Because I love the idea of putting money in it. And then later you get to take the money out again.

And it's always your mind. I tore it open and removed the penny mechanism. Oh, that's the way to do it. All right. Is the other the fizzy drink? That's exactly right. The fizzy lifting drink. Yep.

Frikes. You could drink a drink that lets you fly and fart and burp. I mean, come on. Yeah. What's the thing that puts a German kid in a tube? Was that, it was it? He just fell in. His own gluttony is what it was.

He was chocolate. That's right. He didn't do anything magical. That's what he did Gustis in the tube was his own gluttony. This one's an interesting one, a lot of wild players, of course. Manna, either manna buns, manna potion, et cetera. Oh, yeah, okay. Not have thought that at all.

And believe it or not, back to Wonka for the third one, the three-course dinner chewing gum. Oh, the, we did have three people said, the Wonka Bar, but the three-course dinner chewing gum was your number 10 answer. Some other things that didn't quite make the cut. Nuka Cola. Rectagino, or Rectadigino, which is Klingon coffee. Soylent green, because you people are monsters.

Sombrosia from person Jackson. Healing potion. Just having some healing potion people would like. Yeah? Yep. Klingon blood wine. The pizza hydrator from Back to the Future, too. Big Kahuna burgers.

people apparently want that. Anything from the Bob's Burgers menu, especially the burger of the day. Oh, I have the book. It's amazing. It's so good. That cookbook's awesome. That weird imaginary Neverland food that Robin Williams ate and hook.

Synthahol. Any flavor beans? That's another Perry Potter deal. No, just eat this imaginary food. It'll be fine. Bronto burgers, cup of pizza from the jerk, Popeye spinach. Oh, yes.

is real. It was spinach. It was spinach. It was a joke. Poplars from Futurama, snobsberries, and the $5

milkshake from Pulp Fiction. Wow. $5 milk shake. I can tell you with all so real, sadly. I could tell you

with all confidence that we could have done this for the next three hours. I would have only gotten Romulan Ale. Yeah, I think you're right.

I would have never got any other one. Even Manna. Manna, I don't think I don't think. It might have got the gobstopper, but that was about it.

Hey, just look at it. I wouldn't have thought that because it's real so i wouldn't thought of it joey just thinking this in this today's contest you were the heel okay you understand i'm always well i've been that for 23 years now you're right so you know the role and you played it well uh i think it's still super fun having you on uh you mentioned your video your unboxing video so you're not going to go empty-handed even though i'm going to play this sad music here uh you're going to go you're going to go and do awesome videos on your youtube channel tell

people where it is. This is just Joey Image on YouTube? No, I changed everything to Joey Image Y-T as in YouTube. It used to be Joey Image TV when I was streaming on Twitch and the last seven, eight months I've been streaming on YouTube exclusively, so now I'm just Joey Image YouTube

on everything. Sorry, Joey Image YT on everything. Nice. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, whatever. All that stuff. Yeah. All the socials. All your, all your usernames on all your Sega Dreamcasts. They're all Joey YT. That's what I understand. Well, thanks for playing, dude.

It's great having you on. Hey, Brian Dunaway, guess what? Later tonight, me and you are going to talk about ghosts and goblins, the series, started in the arcade, made everybody pissed all the time because it's hard as shit and still is, all the way up through its console iterations, a couple spinoffs. It's going to be a fun discussion about one of the hardest games ever, and we're back to some Capcom goodness, which is fun, right? And this is cool, because the New Wave Toys guys just made or are making a,

ghosts and goblins and ghouls and ghosts those little cabinet the mini cabinets. Oh. Oh, really? Like the Tempest and Missile Command and Cuberths that I have back there. Like the realistic scale ones. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. And it plays both games, ghouls and ghosts and ghosts and goblins. They're really hard. They're still are. They're insanely hard. Yeah, harder than

Average gamer would not make it past stage one. Even a decent gamer can barely make it past stage one. It's crazy. Six stages. And some of it, I think, is, you know, the designers wanted the difficulty spike. And I think part of it is also we wanted to keep quarters coming into that machine. But then what do you do later for home versions? And there's a lot of good discussion around that.

And so we want to hear us talk about. Fujiwara. Yeah. And we think it's like the OG souls like this game in a way. We'll talk about it tonight. and we'll do it at frogpants.tv and we'll do it at 3.30, sorry, 4 p.m. Mountain Time. That's our new time. 4 p.m. Mountain Time today. So if you want to watch the podcast live, you can do that, or you can check it out later where we get your podcast. That's play retro. Dunway, is there anything else you'd like to say? No, really? That's it. That's all you got. All right, bye. I thought maybe he'd say, oh, it was great scene, everybody in North Carolina. And then he left. I know. Maybe he didn't feel that way. Maybe, maybe, hmm. Maybe he's a poop. He's a poo-poo.

All right. Well done, everybody. Fun game. Let's move on now to one news story. It's time for the news and it's brought to you by. I don't like a bee in the mouth. I got a bee in the mouth. It didn't sting me, but I was eating in the backyard, the little porch area thing that we have.

And a bee flew in there. and I bit down and the bee was in there. And then I spit it out wildly and behaved like a three-year-old girl and spit it all over the place and acted like the world was ending. So there you go. Hope you enjoy my story. Yeah, that, you know what? There is nothing to be ashamed of for how you react when a bee goes in your mouth.

You can react in any way you want because you had a freaking bee in your mouth. Yeah. Don't you think that pretty much that means all laws are paused? exactly no no no no bad things apply yeah i could i could have committed involuntary manslaughter during that moment and people would have been oh no we'll let that pass because you got to be yeah you had to be in the mouth oh yeah no i risked my case your honor yeah yeah i don't want it there's only two things that have there's been two times in my life where i got something in my mouth that it made me want to die it was that and then when i was riding my bmx bike as a kid in this in the rain

and I crossed over somebody's yard, front tire grabbed a big wad, a dog duky, and a hunk of it flew in my mouth when I was eight years old. I know, I know. I thought I was going to die. I thought that was it. This is like, boy, there was a short life. I really enjoyed my eight years on the front of that.

It was so bad. Yeah, I'll teach you kind of crossed the line. A lesson was learned that day, my friends. Never forget, never surrender. All right, here's this story. Florida and the news, not because of hurricanes, although it'll be safe down there, everybody. you got a bit of a boomer coming through there.

What's its name? What's the name of this hurricane? Ambolina or Arbit, Arbitage. What is it? Idalia. Idalia. Yeah. It's a different kind of name.

Anyway, because it has to be after Hillary. H-I. So we made landfall. We got some flooding. Everyone be safe. All right. Anyway, this story is not about that. This is about a woman, a Florida woman's finger.

was severed in a library drop box. You know, you go back to the library and put the books back. We have one of those around here. The 62-year-old Mount Dora woman. Mount Dora. Mount Dora. Is there a map, a map for that place? I hope so.

How else is Dora going to find her way? She lost a pair of her fingers. Oh, they left that out. It's finger. Oh, no, a part of her finger, not a pair of her fingers. Sorry. in a drop box for the public library. Barbara Haverly said she was,

was she from the 40s, geez. Barbara Haverly. Hello, Barbara Haverly here. I'm a Haverly girl. Was injured while attempting to return books on July 28th telling the Washington Post that the whole thing is just such a nightmare. What began as an errand to return a bloody scene

or became turned into a bloody scene for Haverly on WT Bland, bland public library, really? WT Blan Public Library. We only have books that don't have covers. She says she's done this numerous times before. She felt this rush of pain while putting her left hand out, pulling it out of the box. What she first assumed was just uncomfortable hand placement soon became clear that she had severed her middle finger.

Detaching it just below the fingernail. So that would have been, that's not really a whole finger, but you know, you lose this bit here. The last segment, the last link to your sausage. Exactly. It's like now she can only give like three quarters of a bird. That's right, and that's no fun for anyone. She is a registered nurse, but she told the post she didn't know what to do. She watched herself bleed.

Well, you know what to do. You have to stop the bleeding. Anyway, whatever. I mean, what? How far are you putting the book into the... I've seen those. It's just like a little... You pull the handle, you put the book in the little tray, and then you pull your hand out, and then you close the handle.

I think she closed the handle before her finger was out, and she snagged it right then and pulled it off. And I think this is her problem, not a library problem. I think, here's my thinking. She had her phone in one hand, and she was doing something. She, you know, like talking on the phone or doing something. And she had the books in her other hand. And so she, without pulling the phone away from her ear, pulled the handle down, thinking that she could pull it far enough, then shove the books in there,

didn't get her hand out in time for it to swing back and slam shut on her middle finger. I think you're right, Colombo. I think you nailed it. I think that's it. And I think she is responsible for this. If she sues the public library system, she'll lose because there's no way this wasn't a her thing. Yeah, I'd like to see a...

They don't malfunction. Camera. We need a camera on the box. Is there a camera on the box? That's right. Man, phones. I had a kid yesterday while we were out driving who was on his phone the whole time.

Driving, parked, waiting for the light, driving again, always on his phone. and I'm yelling out my window, get off your phone. And he never got off his phone. I guarantee he heard me. Freaking poke. Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure.

A little turd, he's going to get someone killed, probably himself. Oh, I can't tell you how many people I've been behind at left turn arrows who look up from their phone just in time to see the green arrow turn yellow and they make it through and the line of eight cars behind them doesn't. It's like just for five seconds, put you the thing down. It isn't hard. Or maybe it is. Maybe they're addicted. I don't know. Well, to get, you know, get unaddicted.

Staff your damn phones while you're driving. Yeah, who are you? If you can't be trusted at a stoplight to keep an eye on things and make sure that as soon as that thing turns green, because listen, when you're on the road, when you're at a stoplight, whether it's a turn or just a red light or whatever, you're responsible for all the people behind you. That is your troop. The person in front of you is responsible for you and the people behind you. But you're responsible for all the people behind you to make sure that they make it through, that they get through that light or that turn arrow. You're right. You're responsible.

You're right. You're totally right. I can't argue with that. Yeah, exactly. It's so not an overreaction. Just be careful, you dummies. All right. Let's get to the break. We're going to take a break when we come back. Nicole and Randy will meet us here at the corner of the street. And we'll do some recommendals. that'll all be fun, but we can't do it without a song break.

So, Brian, you'll provide that for us, I suppose. I will. And this comes from a performer named Puma Blue. And if you're like me and Tom Merritt, you love the music of Julie Cruz. She did the theme song to Twin Peaks. She did a lot of kind of weird ethereal music around that time with Angelo Balabente, I think is how your pronounce? I can't remember what order all those consonants were in his last name. But I think it's like Badalamenti or Baldamente.

Anyway, really good performer. And he likes Julie Cruz. I like Julie Cruz. This song reminds me of Julie Cruz. It's Puma Blue from her brand new single, Falling Down. The album called Holy Waters comes out this Friday, September 1st, via Blue Flowers,

and then she's going to have a North American headline tour in November. Here is Puma, Blue, and Holy Waters. Some shade Some shade Grips into my heart Where it stays I fall so hard Every slab

Marks my skin Oh God I feel it again Oh Time to find On my Time to find out of Oh how do I

Falling Yeah some To find apart They're They're They're still

They're still sleeping Oh Oh, maybe that's just my face Oh, it's just my face I'm trying to find out of course. So how do I keep in? Oh my I'm

I'm It's all I'm Oh I'm Oh Oh I'm

Oh it's always fun on I Oh I'm Ha'le-nays

Oh my Oh B B If a guest asks you, is there an ATM machine nearby? You say, I'm sorry, you know, I speak English. Don't buy any unripe bananas yet, because you won't live to eat them. And we've returned. Fill us in on who that was one more time.

Sure, that is Puma Blue with a song that, uh, that they wrote inspired. They say, we were watching 90s Japanese anime series Cowboy Bebop in the studio, and this dusty sound we made really came from those visuals. I wrote the lyrics during a challenging moment, feeling like my stomach was plummeting

and struggling to get myself out of the depressing hole I'd fallen into. The song isn't so much about picking yourself back up as it is about how it feels to fall in the first place. The song's called Falling Down from the brand new album coming out this Friday called Holy Waters. That's very cool. Yeah.

I'm going to check that out. right after the show for myself. Yeah. Okay, we're going to recommend the time. The reminder, Tom's not here today. He's in South Korea on a little trip out there. I'm very excited for him. He's going to be one of those,

he's going to be among many, many young teens chasing around, some K-pop stars. He's basically going to be in his musical element out there, for sure. He's very excited about this. He and his wife getting a little vacation, which he deserves. Yeah. Yeah. I'll still be on DTNS today. It'll be me and Sarah.

So if you're checking that out, that will still happen. And if I can find Nicole on the list, there she is. All right, we're adding him to the call. We're now going to do recommendals. And it'll be a good time for all. Well, what do you recommend? Yes, it's time for recommendals where we take stuff from various streaming services. We recommend them here on the show.

And then you guys have the option to go home and listen to this stuff or watch it yourself and see what you think. Joining us so far is Randy Jordan. Hi, Randy. Good morning. Morning Stream. It's Randy, with your weather on the fours. We're tracking Hurricane Idalia. It's through with Tampa, currently beating up on Gainesville, headed straight at Savannah. It's very scary time. Yeah. Wow. We got out there just in time, apparently.

Yeah, he did. It's coming to, it's more of the kind of cut up in the north part of things. But it skipped the usual Gulf people who usually get nailed by this stuff. So it's an interesting one the way it's headed. Yes, yes. Really, really fortunate all those folks in the Redneck Riviera have missed this one, it's going to skirt up the coast, and it's going to go straight at Bermuda. That's an exciting thing. Bermuda just had a hurricane yesterday, and they're going to get another one in a couple days.

You know, it's amazing in our modern times. No one talks about the Bermuda Triangle anymore. It's almost as if that was all bullshit, and really, we just can, you know, now we have satellites and planes and things, and we can see. Is this recommendals? It sure is. It sure is. It sure is.

Weather on the fives. I make sure I'm on the right call. You're absolutely on the right call. Hi, Nicole. How are you? I'm good. Good. That's fantastic.

Are you, you're back home? You were back home. I don't know why I was thinking you're at home. Yeah, I'm in the office and doing cool stuff on the laser. Nice. Doing laser stuff. I love it. You're like the future today.

Cool. Do you do air quotes when you say laser? I do it in my brain. Good enough. That works. Yeah, no, that's totally fine. We'll allow it. It's all I need.

That's all, exactly. That's all I want. Let's dive right in. We're going to do some recommendals. We're going to start with Brian, and he has a clip. He'll explain to us. Brian, what are we doing? Yeah, this is, I can't wait to talk about this, because is it a recommendal?

Is it a mechemental? You be the judge. We'll see you on the other side. All right. Let's find out. This is a disaster. I completely destroyed history. Like Eric Stoltz.

Okay, why do you keep saying Eric Stoltz? Eric says my McFoy. What? Time travel? Oh, you're talking beauty of the F? Come on, who is this guy? Okay, yeah, I know. I've seen all of them, and Eric Stoltz is not Marty McFly.

Really? They explain Marty McThye here. I can't explain that to you, Gary. That's not your thigh. It's the wrong actor, and it's upside down. Is it? But the point is that in Back to the Future, Marty McFly is very famously played by Michael J. Fox.

The guy from Footloose? No, that's Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon's Maverick with the volleyball, the gay guys, and the planes. Top gun. Great balls of fire. Top gun. No, no, no. I completely broke the universe.

This is my brain, by way. Marty McFly is Eric Stoltz. Yes. Thank you. Sounds like someone's in the wrong reality. That's right. Yes, and we all are if we watch this movie. No, I'm kidding.

But maybe I'm not kidding. the movie is the flash just landed on on max on HBO Max this last week and um it's not Scott was supposed to do this one why was Scott supposed to do this one why was I doing this one I don't know you say you were going to watch something on did I get that wrong yeah Brian watched it on his plane that Scott was that was Brian not Scott I was in an alternate time line I know we sound

alike and we look alike yeah it's hard to tell some day yeah this was the only thing that I had time to watch this week I downloaded it while we're in Asheville so that I could watch it on the flight back from Atlanta to Denver and

that little clip we just played there is an example of some of the fun that is in this movie and there is some fun in this movie this is kind of more in the vein of the Shazam style of like integrating some

comedy into your dour DC universe superhero film but it's not it's not as successful at doing it as

Shazam I might go a little spoilery here so if you are really looking forward to seeing this and want to stay pristine

then I'll wave at the end of my talking about it so you can come back and I'm not going to there's some there's some actual like really i don't want to say cool spoiler or cool um moments in the film but a lot of the stuff that that i don't want to spoil are some of the cameos i mean you already know that you get uh um ben affleck is your batman you get michael

keaton as your other batman you get uh um galgadoo as uh wonder woman very briefly in this thing and in a little bit of Jason Mamoa. I'll just tell you that much that you do get some other appearances by Justice League members, probably playing these characters for the last time. I think Flash is,

the guy that plays Flash, that's his last Flash. Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. He's done. I mean, we still have the Aquaman maybe coming, they have had their problems, Ezra Miller. And so the plot is basically,

the setup for the plot is that, that the flash, in what feels like a very non-heroic beginning of the film afterwards, feels like, you know, he goes, he's misty-eyed for home and the death of his mom and his dad's in jail for the mistaken or, you know, for a crime he didn't commit of killing his mom. and he decides that he can run really fast against Batman's wishes and turn back time. And so he does it to train. Exactly. And he brings back share. And his one act of saving his mother's life apparently is enough to change. It's the butterfly wings that flaps and changes the weather in Brazil and also turns Eric Stolls into our Mardemic fly somehow.

if you can get past that is Robert Danny Jr. Is Robert Danny Jr. Ducky? Oh, that'd be amazing. Oh, yeah, from Pretty and Pink, sure. This is a crossover with Pretty and Pink. That'd be weird.

If he is, that would be great. That'd be awesome. The, um, sorry, I totally did. Totally derailed me. Anyway, so basically he goes into what's called the Cronoble,

which is this weird little circular arena of time where he sees the realities of the multiverse that he's able to visit all play out all at once and see alternate Superman and alternate Batman and Wonder Woman and stuff like that. And ends up in a different timeline where his mother didn't die

and all these other things have changed and he visits this alternate universe self. That's probably as much as I need to really give you for this thing. Obviously, we all know about the controversies around Ezra Miller. But they're overacting through the whole film really drove me nuts.

So they play both the real, the current timeline, Barry Allen and the alternate timeline Barry Allen, of course. And they have to play it kind of like, boy, another Michael Keaton thing, kind of have to play it like the multiplicity alternate versions of Michael Keaton, where one is very smart. And this other one is extremely stupid. And it really makes things unpleasant and uncomfortable to why. I guess the act of saving your mom being alive turns you into a complete idiot Barry Allen as opposed to the smart Billy Allen that Do you feel like are we anywhere near being done with multiverse comic book movies like no right? I mean not till this whole gang thing is done, right? I mean the the the MCU stuff is knee deep in it with Loki and Kang and all that stuff and I think Loki did it right? Yeah, right. Um,

The No Way Home did it okay. The Dr. Strange, you know, I loved seeing those characters in there and it just, it just was, it obviously was somewhat fan service. It was there to help also demonstrate how powerful Scarlet Witch was, but it also kind of disappointed me and a few other people into things. Had some moments. Yeah. Into the Spiderverse, I think, is the best. Well, that and this, that, everything, and the other thing. What was the movie?

Everything everywhere all at once? That movie is really good. I love that. I love that. I love that movie. That movie and Into the Spider-Verse are two good examples of multiverse. It felt like those two movies just kind of had a plan more. Comic books have been doing this for like 50 years now.

There's tons of really good examples in comic books, and you just know they're going to eventually all. be they're going to try everyone's going to try to make every great multiverse i just don't know if i just don't know if audiences have the continued appetite for it for too long because it's starting to feel like the brain space it you have to think a lot and it's and it's um and it's sometimes just done to give fan service to say hey remember this actor who played this character in this tv show look here he is because it's a multiverse version of this character or whatever and um again if that is if that is placed too high in the importance of your film then your film's going to fail if that's kind of like this oh well here's the thing we can do we've

got this great plot and this great story by the way we can also show this other character this other actor who played this character or this other version of this character from this other thing as kind of a side thing that's the way you do it but you don't rest a third of your movie on that deal right well and and how much of the movie rests on Ezra Miller is my question. I haven't seen it yet. And I'm on the fence. I'm on the fence because of Ezra Miller. So I'm just like, what's the push? They carry three quarters of the film on their performance because they have to play two different characters, two different versions of Barry Allen. So it's a Barry, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a very

They're the star of the thing, right? You'd say, hey, who's the star of this? Oh, Ezra Miller is. Right. Now, Michael Keaton is great. He can do no wrong for me and even doing this sort of thing. Michael Shannon's in this thing? Michael Shannon's in this because we have to have a big bad that has nothing to do with the flash.

And boy, does Michael Shannon not look happy to be in this? And I found an interview later on with Michael Shannon where he says, you know, they broke my, neck and killed me in Man of Steel. And so when I got the call to play this, I was like, did they see Man of Steel? Did they watch that film?

And did they know what happens? And they said, oh, it's a prequel thing. He's like, yeah, I don't know what that is. All right, fine, I'll do your movie. I love him so much. You can tell that he is, he was not at all enjoying himself coming back for this, this thing.

The shining light is, oh, I should find out who played her. It's the Kara, the Supergirl. Yes, Sasha, is that who is? Sasha Calla. She is great as this, the Supergirl that exists in this universe because they don't have a Superman. I hate calling a Supergirl, but that was the Kara Zorrell character that DC introduced.

And she's a superwoman, by golly. Kaya, is that what's pronounced? Sasha Kaya. Yeah, it's from Young and the Wrestling. is where if you was on like for five years okay no she was great and she

if there's any character or performer that I want to see come out of this and continue to play the character that they played in this it is it is Sasha Kai as a supergirl she was great and she added such a different level

to a character that we've seen, you know, so many times before. Yeah. I heard nothing but good about her role. And she wants to keep doing it. She said in some interview that whether this film does well or not, she'd love to have more time in that suit. So you said you wanted to talk through it and see where you landed. Is this a mechamental or not? It's a mechamental. I think if you like comic book movies, it's still going to be one you're going to want to watch. You're going to want to get it in there. And you're probably, if I say just watch it for the for the cameos um and by the way some of these cameos are

so poorly done the CGI you feel like you're watching a test print of something like this is the this is the the South Korean news agency explaining how Tiger Woods got run over by his own there was we had a listener who's in effects in Calvin in uh in uh in Hollywood who says that this is all, what you're seeing is people just fulfilling basic contract because they're underpaid. This is part of that whole discussion about who's getting paid what in Hollywood. And he's saying there is an entire swath of the effects community that is doing bare minimum now because we are not getting paid for all the overtime, all the extra stuff we put in. So we're just like putting it up. Oh, you want him looking like Barry Allen's running through

a bunch of stuff? Here you go. That's as good as it's going to get. Exactly. I can do this on. You know, on rendermaster on my color computer. Anyway, so I would say on the level, yeah, Free Ranger is probably right. It feels like one of the Joel Schumacher Batman films. You know, if you like the character of The Flash, if you just want the completion of the whole Justice League thing,

I know we're still have Aquaman too to quote-unquote look forward to. Deal with. But from what I hear, maybe save your money and watch Blue Beetle. Instead, I've heard better things about Blue Beetle than I saw in the movie Flash. The very last scene, the kind of another little twisty reveal, you know, kind of thing, is so dumb and silly and ridiculous. I don't want to spoil it because I want to. people to watch if for nothing else pull up max go to like the last five minutes of the movie before

the credits and watch that but um uh it it feels like um this this feels that to me like something brian dunaway would say you you can put on you can turn it on while you're yeah while you're doing everything else in your house yeah yeah it's fine that's a thing i don't mind i like a thing i can have on in the background. Yeah. This would fit very well with that. I mean, you know, there are a couple of moments you want to look and just see because at one point you do get kind of a cavalcade of cameos, but you know this must be frustrating for like the strikes happening right as James Gunn. They support the rank and

file. This isn't a knock against Gun or any of his people over there at DC, but they has so much momentum moving toward, let's start over, let's be fresh. let's you know this Superman um legacy sounds like it's really shaping up uh super excited for the future of DC but to have all that kind of screech to a halt because you kind of can't not do anything while things are striking right you can do some stuff and I think he's he's technically part of the writers guild and he's writing legacy so I think he has to stop working on legacy yeah um so anyway it's too bad that that this is the end kind of the crescendo of that that era of DC and this is is kind of as good as we're going to get.

But I am looking forward to the new stuff, you know? I am too. Lockhevin says Blue Beetle is also in the new James Gunn universe. Is that true that the... Yeah, James Gunn said it would be. Yeah, he said it was the first one where the crossover is part of his plan. But he had nothing to do with the writing or anything like that. No.

Okay. I think he came out and said he really likes it, though, which... Yeah. That clashes with some reviews. Some reviews are really down on it. but I think overall people think it's fine. It's all right. I think you'll like it a lot more if you watch this first.

Regardless of how good or bad Blue Beetle is, you'll like it a lot more if you start with the Flash. There you go. Yeah. So, there you go. So basically, definitely a mechemental. If you were going to watch it, you're probably still going to watch it and you should. But if you were on the fence and you really don't care about this character or,

this universe since we're getting a better, fresher one, hopefully sometime soon, then I'd say you can probably skip it. There you go. Nicole, let's throw it over to you. What do you got here? Anything you want to say before I hit play? Because I sent you the clip, right? Yeah. So this is a movie that I feel probably went under the radar for a lot of people. And I've watched it twice with my kids. And I was, in looking for a clip, I found an interesting, you know, how a lot of, like, YouTubers they'll go through movies and go, oh, wow, they did this really well in this movie. And we'll talk about it after the clip. But it was, it's surprisingly good. So there you go.

All right. It's an animation. Here we go. Why are you so ridiculous, dog? What's your story? My story? Oh, it's actually a very funny story. Back when I was a pup, me and my litter mates live with a family.

A family full of pranksters. We like to play high and seek, and I was always it. Think on the little guy, am I right? They tried putting me in a packing crate, a dumpster. No matter how hard they try, I'd always find them. So one day, they get creative, and they put me in a sock with a rock in it, and then throw me in a river. I nod to hold in the sock, and I swear.

wrapped to the surface. Never found them or my litter mate. So I guess I'm still it. Wow. That is the saddest funny story I've ever heard. Well, jokes on them. That sock they put me in. I grew into it.

Ah. All right. Tell us all about it. It sounds like Puss and Boots to me, but it is Puss and Boots the last wish. And then you heard, uh, Guillermo as. Oh, cool. Harvey, is it, Gwilin? Gwillon, yeah.

So he plays a little puppy dog named Perito, and he's telling his story right there. It also, I didn't realize she was in. Francis Pugh is in it. She plays Goli Lox. Cool, Florence. So someone said it. Florence Pugh, yeah.

So someone in the chat room even said, this movie had no right to be as good as it was. And I totally agree. It's, of course, Antonium Banderer is playing Puss and Boots, and then you've heard Selma Hayek as kitty soft paws. And Puss has run out of lives. So he has nine lives. He's on his last life.

If he dies, he's dead. And death is coming for him. And so one of the things that, as I was looking for a clip, I saw a number of YouTube kind of comment. on how well this movie depicts panic attacks. And I was like, yeah, it did do a really good job, even though it's a cartoon, because Puss is running from death. And when death shows up, he has full-blown panic attacks.

And his relationship with Pirito is really sweet and what his friends do to help him through it. And then there's a whole Goldie Locks in the Three Bears story that's really nice. And they got John Mullaney who plays like the evil little Jack Horner, but he's really big. But it's funny. It's a great story. And it's one of those, it's in the Shrek world. They've done so many of these movies that I just kind of, you know, okay, it's another Shrek world movie. But Ava started watching it and I was just drawn into it.

And we've watched it a couple times, and it's just so good. You said earlier, you thought it was having kids, by the way. Right. You end up watching something multiple times just because that's what kids do. You said earlier you thought it was under the radar a little bit, but I felt like this got all kinds of play. This thing was like up for an Oscar. It was like.

Yeah, exactly. An animation, Best Animation. Yeah. Well, and it's like it won. I get, it wasn't, it definitely wasn't on my radar. Not that I'm like, but you should. you kind of, I don't know, I just didn't see it when it first came out. I still haven't either. I need to watch it. It's wonderful. Your daughter's in the chat

and says that she loves it. Yeah, she saw it without me and she wasn't supposed to. So that's cool. Thanks, Carter. We always do this. There's certain things we say we're going to watch with each other and then one of her friends will do a thing and she'll watch it with them. And then she has to come and apologize. And I'm like, oh, it's not that big a deal. But then I'll do it. Same thing. It's just the way we go. But yeah, I need to, I need to see it. I hear it's funny. I didn't know. Olivia Coleman and Ray Winstone are in this. Geez, that's some highfalutin actor business right there. Love that. Olivia is Mama Bear.

Yeah, Papa Bears, Way Winstone. I don't know, I assume they're the bears from the Three Bears. Yes. Right. Okay. Yeah. Is it the Three Bears? Yeah, that's the name of it.

Yeah, it is the Three Bear. Golly Love it and Three Bears. So I always thought this was the third in the series of films, but technically this is like two. The second. Second. Okay. For whatever reason, maybe there was a directive video thing or something. I thought it was the third too.

But I just, I think that Puss and Boots has been in Shrek and like they're all starting to blend in my brain together. Yeah. So that's why I wanted to kind of highlight this one because I think it might be. Under the radar otherwise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. So it's not just one of those straight to DVD things. It's really good story.

Sure. And I feel like, you know, I don't want to end your part of the same without talking about the thing you wanted to recommend because this, what you wanted to recommend was something that I had on my end of your best list for last year because I loved it so much and it was so well done. Maybe it'll grow on me then because. Oh, really? You're having a hard time with it. Yeah. We're having a hard time with it. So originally, I was going to bring up the after party, which is on Apple Plus, and I was like, okay, the cast of the second season, the cast of the second season looks really good.

I was like, well, let's watch the first season. So Mark and I finished the third season of Tad Lessa, Tad, Tad. Tad Lesso. I'll take your Tad Lesso, please. Ted Lassau. So we're looking for like kind of a feel good. fun move uh show and i was like well i got this after party let's watch it and it's just it's it's slow but it's funny oh my gosh it's slow for us like it's kind of boring um at times

but we're understanding that it's kind of a each episode is that person's perspective and so we got to the um we got to the singing episode i didn't we didn't really like that very much to know that there's going to be a musical episode. Yeah, but it was, there were great songs, but we're just, I don't know. I kind of, we're going to stick with it just because. Stick with it. It's worth, the different genres and how well I, how well I think they pull off each genre of the story, like a psychological thriller or an animated thing because you're seeing it through the,

the mind of the person. Yeah. Their mind movie. She calls it a mind movie. Their mind movie. The jello shot, the flaming jellow. shot was hilarious. That was like, that's what's keeping us going is like there's just like these throwaway jokes. They were like, oh my God, that was funny. So that's why we're still watching

it. And for me, Sam Richardson can do no wrong. He's, uh, Anique. Yes. He was in, he was in Ted Lasso too. Oh, was he really? I remember him in, uh, Veep. I didn't remember him in Ted Lasso. Oh, right. He did the accent, of course. Yes. Yeah, he's the rich billionaire that wants to to buy Sam and causes Sam all. I forgot that was the whole, yes, right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were thinking a tad lesso.

Tadlesso is a very good. I was thinking of Tadlesso that didn't have Sam Richardson. Yeah, a different guy. That was same Richardson. That's a different guy. Sorry. No, you're fine. I love that.

That's one of my favorite word mixups you've done. I love it. That's absolutely. And Merrick, I'm going to tell you right now, I watched all of Detroiters and freaking loved it. Again, it's another Sam Richardson thing that he did with Tim Robinson, who has that very odd sketch comedy show on Netflix called,

I think you should leave with Tim Robinson. Oh, I love that guy. I love that guy. Yes, he is so perfectly awkward. This guy has taken making the confident fool to a whole new level. It's fantastic. Problem with Detroiters is that it's on the last streaming service I look at when I go looking for something.

Seriously, I go, I go, who? HBO Max Netflix and then I go look at Paramount and then I go look at Disney I look at Apple and I almost I don't sometimes forget that Prime exists. Yeah. Yeah. Plus Prime is so big on like bundles now. It feels like they focus so much on getting you to bundle other services. You forget they are their own service at the same time. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, the chat room is freaking out that we're saying that there's only two puts and boots. I don't see the second one. The second one. Everyone has been caught. this Puss and Boots too sort of like colloquially and I guess there was also a Puss and Boots series like The three Diablos well yeah the three Diabloes but that was a television thing right there was no I don't think we can count that

I don't think that counts in the list yeah it's like How to Train Your Dragons got like three mainline movies but it also has like extra shit they did on TV The side offshoots and the Futurist one film from 2012 says Okay all right fine doesn't count claire doesn't count my wife's watching

dairy girls again and all I can hear is clear in that damn show gosh oh I forget to mention in the flash you get one of you get the you know the main blonde dairy girl kind of the um the unofficial leader of the uh the group she's uh what's uh uh what's her name

kerosy klinners no yeah the the um the actress you mean the actress she's she's in the flash as one of Barry Allen's friends. She actually... Not that that should steer you towards watching it or not. No. Does she do her...

Is she Irish in it? She talks so little in the film, even though at one point she burps, I bet, bad. She talks so little in the film that I wasn't 100% sure that she was using or hiding her Irish accent.

There we go. Patty Spivit. Patty Spivit. Oh my gosh. Pett. Spivit. I love that name. Anyway, sorry,

the only thing I didn't ask is Where is the showing? Netflix. Netflix. All right. Check it out. I think it's a Netflix stay there kind of movie now, isn't it? Isn't it?

Well, DreamWorks and Netflix have a lot of tie-in. So I don't know. It could be. Well, I know the Super Mario Brothers movie. Well, that's not the same. Is that the same company? No, that's Imagine Entertainment. That's Sony.

Sony's a man. Well, it says Paramount. It's Puss and Boots is Paramount. So why wouldn't it be on Paramount Plus, too? Oh, well, your production and you're where it's showing or who owns the rights aren't always the same. It's like Friends was a CBS or a Fox production, but it was only on NBC. It's like that kind of stuff. So before we start watching After Party, Mark and I tried to watch Archer again because we fell out of Archer a number years ago.

And so we watched one episode of the new, the latest season. I guess this is going to. The final season. The final season is starting. I can't get into that show anymore. And we're like, are we just, do we age out of it? Did something change? I'm trying to figure out why we don't like Archer anymore.

For me, the best thing that was ever on Archer was Jessica Walter and she passed away. Yeah. Well, even then, we'd stop watching it even when she was still on it. A lot of people stopped watching it when they did weird theme seasons. You know what? That's a Shirlene season, the, the, the. the country season. The outer space season

and all that. Here's a season where Archer is unconscious the entire time. Yeah. That's a little weird. That is when they lost us. When Pam became a country,

or no, it was the other girl was a country singer. Yeah. I vaguely remember that. Yeah, I remember. You used to be a huge Archer fan.

I loved Archer. And it was really hard for me to watch Bob's burgers and not see Archer. Now it's the other way around. Flip down. I see Archer and I see

Bob's burgers. Really, with that dude, I can't think he was name all of a sudden. H. John Benjamin. It doesn't matter what cartoon you're watching. If you watch a lot of one of them, you're going to picture that instead of the others. Nicole, you get to rip that one as much

apart as you want. Scott. What did I say? I don't know what I said. Oh, I thought I said it normal. Oh, I thought I said it normal. Did I not? Everybody makes one of me. I get to make it. Yeah, you can do it. Sure. Why not? I didn't even hear it.

Absolutely. it's totally fun all right so check it out Netflix Puss and Boots 2 and we're sticking to that it's 2 everybody go watch your TV stuff separate it's 2 there's no 3 there's only 2 those deuses yeah Randy let's do yours

tell me what we have here a TV series that I've been banging out about for years now and what you're about to hear are the main cast it's young adults and they got lost and a person that they made kind of saved them, and now their auntie has showed up to also rescue them.

Here we go. Did you get him yet? No, almost there. You tell Bear, he is grounded for a year. I will. He can do whatever he wants when he gets out of my house, but until then, he will obey my rules. All right, read, I got to go. I'm getting car sick.

Brethren, cistern, do not fret. You'll always have a home in my manger. Surprisingly, it was comfortable. It's anointed, my son. Man, I can't spend another night in a manger. There she is. Ew. Oh, they must have drugged her.

Auntie. Look, they got her. Ride the way. Ancie, you okay? See, kids, this is why we don't do drugs. You never know what's in them. I'm not on drugs. His driving made me sick.

Ah, L.A. drivers. Who are you? Who is this? They're our friend. White Jesus. So we're at the end of this fantastic season now, aren't we? Yes. Reservation Dogs decided after their second season that they were going to only do one more

and they were going to make it final. And it is spectacular. Reservation Dogs has been such a fine program. You know, like every scene, every episode that you almost wonder if they can, if they can hold it together. But one of the things they've done with this show is they've sort of celebrated a lot of relatively famous actors, you know, who happen to be Aboriginal American actors. And so like starting early on in the first season, you meet, you know, a character played by an actor from Letterkenny. And now this final season, we get to see Graham Green in Reservation Dogs. I love Graham Green.

I could watch him. It's just, it's just such a nice show. Like, I just, I highly recommend this is the thing that you watch when you just need to relax and enjoy some good TV. It does have a couple of really traumatic moments. And that's on purpose, right? It's a show about people growing up on a reservation in Oklahoma, and their lives sometimes really suck. But it's portrayed so beautifully. And these actors that you've never heard of, because they're all young people, are amazing.

Every single one of them are just amazing. So just want to ask you, please, you know, watch reservation dogs. We're running out on new things, as we've discussed many times. And this is one of those moments where you got something new, you should go watch it. Glad it came in under the wire before all these kids aged out of, you know, like I'm glad the thing didn't, or the, what do you call it? The damn strike didn't happen during the middle of it or something. Yeah, because there are some shows out there that are dying right now on the vine because they take so much to make a new season. Like I doubt we'll ever see another season of the Orville, for instance.

And that's really sad. So, yes, we should be really, really happy that things like this are available and made it under the wire. Man, I'm wondering if this strike's going to go on for years. Might. Hey, let me ask you a question. One of my favorite actors ever is Zan McLaren. He's only in nine episodes. Does that mean he's not in this new season at all?

You know, I'm talking about the character big? Because I'm not behind. I'm way behind. He plays a, uh, uh, uh, what do they call oh gosh what do they call police on the reservation uh light horseman he plays a reservation police guy and he's just a an occasional really small joke uh like he he's not really that big his name is big but he's not a big deal to the show i love him so much though he is awesome he he in my mind was one of the greatest things about fargo season two just blew

my freaking mind in that season he's so good anyway uh so that yeah go see it everybody available now on Hulu in its entirety. Yep. You can now watch all three seasons of reservation dogs and enjoy it like everybody else. It is the Native American Ted Lassow. How about that? Yeah, there you go with the Taika Waititi co-creator, you know, all that business. Awesome.

Here's mine. It's short. It's sweet. And it's been, I haven't been able to watch anything heavy lately or anything big. So this is what I watched. Tom. What are you doing? here. Listen, it's a bit of an emergency. You're my only friend with the piano. I just need to come in and

practice for a couple hours. Ah, we're kind of in the middle of dinner? No, it really kind of needs to happen. I'm coming in. I'm sorry, no. I'm coming in. I love you, but no. I'm coming in. You can't come in. I'm going to let myself in. Tom! Come on. What are you doing? You're going to love it. It'll be pleasant background music. You're out of control, Tom. If you have any requests, I know the chords C, G, and E. If I blew my head off right now, I wouldn't be sad. Brad, you have to say something. Just let the kid play. Are you scared of a little kid? No, I'm not afraid of a little...

I'm a man. You're a big man now. A big man. I have hair down there. Oh, my God. Stop being such a wuss, and tell him to stop. Fine. The combination of his music and your voice is an assault on my ears.

A wuss wouldn't say that. As a family, we really need to work on our dinner conversation. I know. And you know what? Tonight I'm going to ask God to help us. Is Colin Robinson in everything? Well, he should be, but he is in it. This is that actor who plays Colin Robinson in what we do in The Shadows is in this.

This is a little cartoon that is in its third season. I can't remember many seasons. Yeah, we're two seasons in. They're going to do a third. But anyway, it's called 10-year-old Tom. And it is a show that reminds me a lot of, what was the old, the Bob's Burger's people, came from it eventually. Not home movies,

but the thing before that, Dr. Kratz is something, the psychiatry show. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Dr. Katz, the, yeah, psychologist, right, yeah. It reminds me of that in it, in the way it's animated,

and the way it's drawn. To say, to say that it's poorly drawn is probably fair to say. It's on purpose. You know, Beavis and Butthead style sort of kind of looks like crap on, you know, by design. It is one of my favorite things

in this world. It's created by a bunch of people who've done a bunch of things in animation for a long time, but the stars, let's see, I'm trying to find top cast here. Oh, this is the wrong one.

I'm in the wrong. We just heard Jennifer Coolidge. Yeah, Jennifer Coolidge is in it. She plays this Tom's friend's mother, and everybody's played by an adult and runs me a Bob's Burgers that way. So even the kids are all adults, obviously. These kids are all supposed to be 10 years old.

John Malkovich is, the teacher in the music room you hear when Tom comes on the show here on the show you hear this kind of in a tough that's the wrong one sorry it's we played it before but John Malkovich plays the music teacher in the school

and Steve Dildarian is Tom his friend Brian Nelson is played by Brian Bowers these are all like stand-up stand-up comedians or people you've seen in other stuff Gillian Jacobs is in this Brian you love her I know you're a big fan of her yeah

we mentioned Jennifer Coolidge Paul Rust is in it, just about everybody. But Mark Proch, who plays Dakota's dad, as you heard there, is Colin Robinson from that other show. And he is fantastic. He's not on every episode, but he's on quite a bit. David Docoveny has a regular appearance

on this. It's got a great cast, and it is just deadpan and makes me laugh every time. It is one of my comfort shows to watch, and I've watched it, I think, the whole thing twice now. I really want more. They're short, too. It's like these very quick episodes. In fact, I think it's usually divided up into two, and the episodes are maybe 20 minutes

long, so you're getting like two 10 episode episodes or 10 minute episodes per watch. And so it's a quick binge. And I love it. And their intro song, I don't know who makes the song, but I love that too. There's just tons to like here. So if you are into funny animated stuff, this is on Max, HBO Max, as Randy would say, or refuses not to say. And it's called 10-year-old Tom. And I highly recommend it. So go check it out. Yeah. Yeah, it's very fun.

I like animation. That's a thing that I can usually watch and not worry about Tina being like, oh, you watched it without me. She, much to my surprise, was fine with me watching lower decks without her, even though I think she would have really enjoyed it. Oh, my God. That's too bad. Yeah, but I've been enjoying Central Park on Apple TV Plus.

I'm looking forward to Great North. Yeah. Um, so, and of course, Harley Quinn is back on, uh, Max, new season of that. So it's, it's been stuff that it's like, great, I get to watch some animation and, and, uh, Tina's probably like, yeah, you can watch that one without me. You should definitely put this in the queue. I think you'd like it. Um, cool. She loves Bob's burgers, by the way. So it's not like she hates all animation. She, she, uh, she loves that one. Well, this is a little more, this is along those lines in that it's a little more adult. So maybe she'll, maybe this would be one that I could get her to, to check out. They drop F bombs here and there, but it's rare. But it's rare. it doesn't it's not like 10 year old tom drops that he doesn't but people around him do uh his mom does i remember john malcovich has a real moment at one point jennifer coolidge is always dropping f bombs

george wallis is in this forgot to mention him i love him um and and i forgot to mention todd glass who's mostly known for a stand-up he plays his principal school that dude that principal character is killing me he is so really yeah it's great 10 year old tom available now two seasons on max go It's going to do it for recommendals. All of these will be on quicktms.L.I probably already are already there. Yeah. Look at the, look at the efficiency. I didn't have yours, so I added it last second, but everything else is already there. Oh yeah. I forgot to tell everyone what I was doing this week, didn't I? It's all right. Totally fine. I knew nobody would be doing it. So like, yeah, this isn't going to be a problem. Yeah, good to have you both here, Nicole. Anything

going on you want to mention before we. Sure. Mark and I are going to Amana, Iowa this week. end. There's a big hand tool convention. It's free to go to, so we're going to be there. It's called handworks. Fun. Nice. Is Amanda the home of the radar range? Is that like, do they have a giant statue

of a radar range in front of City Hall? That'd be cool. What? Amana, you know, like Amana? Like Amanda, the brand? It's called, yeah, the town's called Amana. AMA. A.M.A. Yeah.

I don't think Nicole's heard of the Amana brand. I don't think you've heard of that. So that's why you're missing it. Yeah. Oh. There's an Amanda. I get it. Isn't it electronics?

No, it's all like major appliances. Amana refrigerator is a manna washing machines. Stoves. Not the same thing. Okay. Got it. This is a work working town. Okay.

I was thinking maybe this is the home of a manna. No, I don't think so. A weird rabbit hole to go down. Oh, that was great. Well, that sounds like fun. Get lots of pictures and hay tools. and stuff to give you a free uh you get like you walk out of there with some free uh you know drills and stuff you know are you familiar with um oh god what's his name he's a hand tool guy he used

That is the home of the Amanda major appointment. lines thing but but no I hope you have a good time of the convention and get to see a lot of hand stuff yeah that's cool hand stuff is good I like some hand stuff uh all right Nicole it is our pleasure to have you we'll see you soon Randy anything going on with you you want to

mention before we go yeah we're gonna we're gonna watch man on fire on film sack this weekend and we're gonna find out if someone puts him out a manna on fire a manna on fire a manna on fire a manna on fire excellent no I'm I love that movie I've said this before so going into this I'm I'm actually stoked to watch again. I don't know who hasn't seen it in our group, but I'm really excited to talk about it. I haven't seen it since it came out, and I don't remember anything about it.

I am in the same boat. I know I've seen it. I remember the two actors, and I remember a scene from it, but I couldn't tell you anything else about it. I remember being... Does it hold up? We'll see.

That's the question. I remember it being one of the most stylistic things Tony Scott did. Like, it was just above and beyond normal. The way his movies looked, this looked different. And I remember being like, whoa and then he died and I was like oh as always I'm just trying to lower expectations here

Scott lower them down get him down there Randy see you next time all right Brian we're about done here sounds good and and to answer your question when may guess man on fire is streaming on max we're going to be I think that for for the entire month of September we're going to be watching movies on max so every once in a while well we often find max has the movies we want these days it feels like Netflix is a little slower to get what we want to see but we we could have easily sacked the flash and still could. Yeah, that's true. You watched it.

I would not rule it out. As long as you do it soon, because I don't want to watch it a second time. Yeah, I would be fine with that if we slotted that in after Man on Fire or something. I don't know if Randy's still listening, but maybe take everybody's temperature on that. Yeah, why not? Put it right up, Dunaway's butt and see what it comes back with the temperature. Here's a quick call about rubbing alcohol. Hey, Scott and Brian.

This is John from West Virginia. First off, Scott, me and my wife met you in Columbus at G-Dex that Sunday. We stood and talked with you and your wife for quite a while and was, I had a really good time, and I hope you come back to G-dex and Columbus sometime. We'd like to meet up with you again. Anyway, I was wanting to call and tell you this story that you're drinking, your buddy who drank rubbing alcohol. made a story that I remember from when I was a kid.

The local barbershop here in this really small town kept getting broken into when I was a kid. And the high school kids were stealing the barbersall from the barber shop and would take coffee filters, filter that, then drink what was filtered. And I could only imagine what that was like afterwards drinking that barbersaw alcoholy stuff but yeah the rubbing alcohol has got to be

worse but drinking barbersol too I can only imagine so anyway love the show all right great stuff I don't know what's in barbersol I assume it's got some kind of something I mean all I can think of is the barbosol foam stuff but the he's talking about like a liquid right it sounds like it If you're going to filter that through a coffee filter, it must be a liquid. It can't, yeah, because that foam stuff won't go through. Like, Barbosol was the stuff that Nedri hid the dinosaur bits in. Right. The little DNA container thing. Yeah, Barbicide. Oh, was he, he was saying Barbosol, though, right?

Yeah, he said, he definitely said Barbosol. Yeah, Barbicide is that blue, okay, yeah, it's the blue liquid stuff that you put all of your, your combs and scissors in. oh oh so it's a cleaning agent it's uh it's not something you put on your hair no no no it's it's it's like you know you see their little jars on their shelf that they put um their scissors and combs and stuff that's terrible why would you don't drink that either don't drink the barbosol or the barbicide also don't commit a felony and break into a place to get the barbosol to drink like what this is a terrible idea from top to bottom like i know look down there uh over there i guess i

That's where he lives, West Virginia. Maybe things were, maybe you couldn't get your hands on common cough medicine or so. I don't know what kids do, but Barbisol, good Lord. Yeah. That's horrendous. Well, anyway, oh, I did find out that guy is dead. Not from drinking that, though, the guy that used to sip the rubbing alcohol that I knew in high school. He died in a tractor accident.

Oh, God. Geez. Yeah, I just found, I did a little hunting around. A little Facebook search. A little bit. Did a little research and died. God, a tractor accident sounds like the worst. It's like 15, 17 years ago or something.

It was a while ago. Anyway, the lesson is don't drive tractors and don't drink rubbing alcohol. All right? All right. Let's now be done with the show. Thanks everybody for listening. Thanks for supporting our Patreon. You've got one more month before this month ends.

Either get in now or get in then, but one way or the other. Get in and be a part of the party. Patreon.com slash TMS for all the details. It's going to do it for us today. Let's get out of here. You have music? Probably you do. I do. I do. It's a late one. Grant Coover wrote in and said,

I'd like to request a song for August 3rd for my little brother, younger but not really little. Three years ago I moved from Iowa to Washington and the best way to connect is listening to TMS. We're both always a day late, so rarely in the chat. But any song by Godsmack or P.O.D. would be cool.

But I trust the cover Meister's pick for a 40th. Happy birthday Yahya Warrior or Jaja Warrior when in the chat. Miss and love you, bro. I get an, ah, beep. Oh, hell yeah. Here you go. Oh, is that the one he means?

What's the ah, beep? That's the one he means. Is that what he means? Okay. I think that's what he means. He wrote it as, ah, beep, but I think he meant beep. Signed, Grant, greetings. Oh, and then he says, greetings brought in, I messed up.

Seems as I resent my request to the wrong email. Mr. Coverville, if you can play Staying Alive by Les Claypool's duo, D.E. Twang, that would be fun. Otherwise, whatever great song you were going to play, Turning 40, trust your musical knowledge. All of that in one, like he copied and pasted and then wrote a whole second email in there. In any case. Because he did all that work, Brian, I'll give him two for one here. There's the real one. Oh, you found it. The real one. Beautiful. The real one. All right. So this is a cover of the Bee Gees, Staying Alive. This is performed by Les Claypool from that

four-foot shack album, the E. Twang duo with Les Claypool. There's a lot of, of great covers on there, including some covers of some primus stuff, new versions of his primus songs. Here is Les Claypool and Staying Alive. You can tell by the way I've used my walk I'm a woman's man No time to talk Music loud And women warm
