September 5th is it, 6th. Fifth? Sixth. My eyes deceive me. It is the 6th. 20, 23 is the year. And I'm Scott Johnson and it's Brian. Hi, Brian.

Hello. Good morning. Good morning. Happy Wednesday. Happy hump day in the middle of a short week. Yep. It feels a little odd when we miss it Monday for holidays or any other reason. It's just like, yeah, what day is it?

Oh, yeah, right, Wednesday. Yeah, throws off the whole. rest of the week really like you know makes me uh because i think oh tuesdays don't have anything to prepare for the show or as much to prepare for the show as i do on wednesdays right and uh then i'm like oh crap what i forget on wednesday and i did indeed yep i do as well um i forgot a whole bunch of things today in fact i was like oh shit recommendals uh i better get those in and you of course put yours up like you always do and i put yours in and then i realize oh i don't have nicoles and i had to rush around and do hers and but we're here you guys don't need to know what

happens behind the scenes. You don't need to see us stuffing sausage. You just need to eat the sausage. Okay? That's what you need to do. We'll go ahead and keep making it. You keep eating the sausage. You keep eating the sausage. We'll keep making the sausage. That's right. Sausage. This morning, speaking of sausage, because I, this, it's funny you say this. That's funny we keep talking about sausage because this guy across the street. I was out on the porch having a nice chai tea with my wife. And that's like saying T, T, T, T. I know, everybody. Yeah, yeah.

Did you go to an ATM machine as well? ATM machine. Did you enter your PIN number? I did my PIN number. What else? There's another one. Can't think of it. Anyway, did all those things, redundantly.

And I sat out on the porch and these little chairs there. They got me for my birthday. And I love these chairs. And we're chilling. And the sun's just dappling us. You know, weather's lovely today. Things are cooling down. We're getting a little bit of early fall business going on.

And I look across the street and this old guy. and by old I mean probably gotta be 70s probably 75 something like that is in a pair of tight I guess they're probably gym shorts but they look like tight

cut off sweatpants so they were cut off they were cut off just above the knee but they were very tight on him and it was that and it was him holding in one hand what looked like probably like a

just some sort of morning sausage like a Jimmy Dean thing. I don't know what. Sure. Something in a little like napkin thing. No, it was like a little, I don't know. There was no bun or anything like a hot dog. There was no blanket.

It was just a pig. Just a pig, no blanket. The pig, no blanket, exactly. And the other hand, he had his keys and he was holding them daintily with his thumb and his two first fingers like this with his pinky and his other finger out. Like he's drinking tea or something. Yeah. And he had a sausage in the thing.

He's wearing these tight things and a, and a, I don't, know what color it was, but some kind of tight upper top. Look like the guy's going to the gym or something. I don't know. Sure, sure. And the way he ran across, because his car was parked across the street in front of our house for some reason, not at his place across the way. So for whatever reason, he just is doing this tiptoe dance from where he lived out to his car and the keys are jangling, you know, and he's got a little sausage in the sand. He's doing this whole thing.

And he's grinning the whole time. And coming something to himself, couldn't make it out. don't know what it was and then when he gets to the car he does this thing that i i am starting to do i think it's a tall guy problem and as we get older it just gets harder but his car's kind of small and low to the ground so he opens the door he puts his butt toward where he's going to sit now most people just immediately go and they're in shut the door and drive away right he points his butt facing forward when they get in the car yeah he points his butt and he goes full Mitch mcconnell for about 20 seconds where he just kind of freezes

uh-huh he's out looking at the street still humming just slowly easing his butt in slowly going in and then finally sits in there and pulls away and i just have to say it was a delightful thing to have to witness in the morning you know i'm sure yeah exactly he had he had this agenda he met he checked off every box on his to-do list for this morning yeah sausage keys ease into the car hum awesome outfit slow slow sit into the car yeah all of it so i'm I'm impressed and also entertained, I guess, by it. I don't know. It's just a weird thing to see in the morning.

He didn't expect it. He didn't see us because we're kind of hidden to where we're tucked in here. So he doesn't see us on the porch watching him. Which is great, by the way, because if someone comes by with their big old dog and their dog poops on our strip or on our lawn. Yeah, you can. I can police it. Now, I don't even do it like overtly. If somebody does this and it's happened, they don't think anyone's there.

and if they start to leave without doing the thing, I just go, like that. And they go, oh, pull out a bag and do the thing. Oh, really? Oh, funny. I'll see. I'd have no problem with just saying, hey, you're going to get that? You're not going to leave that there, right?

I feel like it's, for me, it'd be like a two-stage thing. I'll do the cough. There's my courtesy cough, exactly. Before you give them a ticket, this is the warning. Yeah, if you don't want a confrontation, here's my cough. Let's avoid one. If he doesn't do it then, I'll be like, uh, that poo isn't going to pick up. It's, you know, whatever I'm going to say.

I just feel like, I may, and again, this is, this is me assuming with the neighbors that I know up the street whose dogs do poop in my line. Yeah. That if I would do the cough, they'd pick it up then, but they wouldn't pick it up next time. Whereas if I call them on it and I say, you're not going to leave that there, right? They're more likely to pick it up every time. Interesting. I should be leaving a mark is what you're saying. Yeah, you need to, you need to leave a mark.

I need to have an impact on this person. Exactly, yeah, because I feel like the cough is just like, oh, he caught me this time. Maybe not next time. But if I make a big deal out of it, then that guy's never going to try it again, right? I think so. I think so, yeah. Because you won't know if you're up there. It'll be more of a memory, an indelible mark in his brain that you could be up there,

whereas the cough could have, you know, cough could have come from inside the house, could have come through a window, whatever. Right. It could have been another neighbor for all he knows. Exactly. He doesn't know. The, you know, this whole, like, I'm seeing such an increase in the prevalence of the, I'm going to do this because I want to kind of attitude lately. Perfect example is the, I see this when I'm lifting all the time, because I have to go, I have to get on to the highway, get off the highway a lot when I'm driving for lift.

and oh wait I have a thing to play for you for that oh play it yeah here we go

so I get a five star rating junior there you go got some new ones for Brian anyway go ahead I love it so you know

sometimes on ramps when they have if it's a highway that gets a lot of traffic or at least a lot of traffic in that area they'll have the metered lights

in other words the lights that say one car per lane can you know pass through right right you have to stop the red

and then like a few seconds they turn green, one car from each lane can get on the... Especially during traffic times, right? Like higher traffic. Especially during, yeah, and they usually have them time so that between four and six or four and, yeah, like six they have the, those lights on. Sure.

It is now inevitable that if there is a line of three cars on the left side, or even just me waiting, you know, waiting for the red light, someone will just fly through that thing if there's an open lane who cares just fly right through and it's and it's like uh uh just a yeah i don't care that doesn't apply to me kind of attitude that that is becoming more and more prevalent on the on the roads it feels like that's i'm going to go ahead and agree with you and say i feel like i see this more than ever yeah yeah but part of me wonders and this is just a theory if it's it's just us becoming our our dads. Do you know what I mean? Like, I don't mean that it's not, because there are obviously

people being dicks on the road. But it feels like, I remember my dad doing this. There's a little bit of like, you know, I used to be the guy who was, you know, one of the fastest people on the road. And I still, I still will routinely go between five and ten miles over the speed limit on the highway pretty regularly. But then you still get people who come up as quickly up your butt as possible like is quickly tailgating you when there are lanes that they could go around and that's what i just say to myself it's like look i'm going over the speed limit you know i'm already i'm already doing what i'm going to do i'm going faster than the lane to my right so i'm not going to get over in that lane and then all of a sudden have to to wedge in this lane because you're behind me

go around me to the left there's an open lane passing lane yeah that's the point of a passing lane that's the point of a passing lane it's like we're signed to explain reservations here it's not that hard. I had four big Irish guys get in my car yesterday, Claire. From, from Wexford. You're familiar with Wexford? Hold on a second. Four at the

same time, all in your car. Four at the same time. Really big guys, too, all packed in the kiosol. Three of them jammed in the back, another one up front. Damn. And I don't know whether we're here. Oh, we're going to Red Rocks. We're going to see Dirk Spentley.

What? Really? Dirk Spentley. I mean, Dirk Spentley. Like, I mean, yeah, go to Red Rock, you know, whatever. I say, if you're in town in Denver and a band you don't even care about or a singer or whatever you don't even care about is playing at Red Rocks, go see him anyway, because. Or even if there's nobody playing, go there anyway, right? Can't you just go there? Like, it's almost like the public can just walk.

It's open until two. Yeah. After two, the, if there's a show that night, after two, the parking lot, close. closes you can't get in. I'd do that even if I was in town in the morning and had to leave, I'd be like, well, let's go just for a half hour. Let's go check this place out. In the morning, yeah, for sure.

Yeah. For sure. But seeing the concert, there is still a different experience than just going there when it's, you know, opening hours, daylight. People are walking around the stands because the, just the music and the feel of these two massive rocks on either side of you, like you're, like you're, I don't know, being hugged by the earth as you watch this music. It's awesome.

Yeah. It's amazing. So cool. Did they, what, who's this artist again? I haven't heard of this name. Dirk's Bentley, a country performer. Oh, a bunch of Irish guys gone to a country concert. That's the, that was the funniest part, yeah.

Okay. And it's spelled Dierks. Wow. That's crazy. Did they, did they, how are they as far as the ride? Like were they, was it like having Claire? They were super nice, friendly, chatted with each other and me the whole time. they were they weren't big fat i mean they were big like you know like football player big

um just big fellers you know just big fellers and i did feel like as soon as they car just like all right all right little extra gas to get up these hills now yeah wow and you probably i thought there was a limit with with ride sharing or is there one how many people can go is it just what your car will hold yeah it's as many as your car hold but They won't give you, like basically my car is listed on the side as being able to hold up to four people. Because that can fit. I've got three seat belts in the back. I've got one up front.

So technically I can hold up to four people. So, you know, if somebody says, I need a ride for five, even if I'm in the area, it won't give them my car because I'm not listed for that. It will give them an SUV or something. Okay. That makes sense. Sometimes they don't even put in how many people are coming. Here's another insider question. Do the SUVs and the larger car formats, do they get more money for being that?

Only if they are newer than a certain year and they're considered luxury, then they get lift preferred. Okay. So if it was like an escalade, a 2020 escalade with seven or eight passengers. Then I could do, I could put myself on preferred. I'd be able to take four or five people and lots of luggage, yeah, and it's, and it's weird. It has to be, at least with Uber, it has to be a black car. And it might be the same way with, with Lyft, whereas the color of your car, because, oh, you know, it's nicer to ride in a black car. That's weird.

It is really weird, yeah. I guess I can kind of see it, like, if it's nothing but fancy people. But you would have some stories, I'll bet. You would pick up some weird folks. who are just drenched with money out looking for a good time or whatever. For sure. Brian would be the guy. That's great.

I'd be the guy. I picked up, so Saturday morning or Sunday morning, no, it was Sunday morning because we did film sex Saturday morning. Sunday morning I get in the car, I turn things on. And immediately I'm on the highway heading into Boulder thinking, all right, well, I get some nice short rides up in Boulder. The kids are all out. They probably need to go pick up their cars that they left at the bar.

the previous night and uh first ride i get is um uh is as i'm heading in the highway on the highway into boulder down this big hill into a boulder valley yeah and uh lift is great about this like oh hey a new ride for you by the way turn now that exit get off the exit get off the highway right now go wow and it's you know they could give me a little more warning or they could say all right well you'll have to go into the next exit and do this turnaround thing but it's like uh you're You know, immediately, and I know it's a grass is always greener on the other side of the fence situation. I know it's like, I only notice it, or I guess not grass is greener. It's the shopping, the checkout line always moves faster the one you're not in.

You only notice it when they do it. Or you buy a new car and suddenly you notice your car everywhere. Exactly. You see everybody else has the same car. Right. So I'm able to get off the highway, but I'm in the wrong lane, and it splits off one. one way goes north, the other one goes west. You'd think it'd be north and south, but it's not.

And so I start, I go north with the intent, well, I'll go up to the first intersection where I can legally do a U-turn and come back. Sure. And, yeah, Clare, nobody was on the highway. It was Sunday morning on Labor Day weekend, Claren't. I didn't cause any trap. Believe me, there was nobody around me or I wouldn't have done it. Anyway, so as I'm going up to make my U-turn, I get a call, and it's this

recognizable 415 San Francisco number that means that the the passenger is calling you. And I'm like, oh, God, they're going to say, you know, you took the wrong turn you're supposed to go west there. And I'll wait until you're done. There you go. No, I'm listening. Why'd you pause? You don't laugh at my joke, anyway. Oh, what?

There was a joke. Okay, never mind. Sorry, my bad. I didn't hear it. Go ahead. I thought it was just, anyway, I thought it was just part of the story. keep going. It was part of the story, but it was intended to be funny. So I answer the call, and she says, I don't know if it's an issue, but I have a medium-sized dog who will sit on my lap.

Is that okay? And I say, as long as she's adorable, and there's this long pause, like waiting for her to respond to that. Like she's, I guess, she's adorable. My dog is adorable. because I'm not going to say, yeah, it's fine. I'm not going to just make it sound. I'm going to play it up and have some fun with her. So she didn't get that. She thought you were being, like, serious or whatever? She, I think she, uh, I think she was taken aback by the, by the response that she

was not expecting, I think she was just expecting like, um, like, yes or no or whatever. Because I imagine she's probably gotten, uh, rides where she, uh, where the dog was not allowed. Usually, it's only supposed to be assistive dogs, typically. Like, you're not supposed to take a dog into a lift or an Uber unless it's... Have you had pets before? Oh, I've had lots of dogs in the car. I had one ride where I took a dog to, back to its home alone, because the owner was back from vacation, and I basically took it from the,

person who is watching the dog back to its home. So it was just me and the dog in the car for Wow. Best passenger ever had. It was really sweet golden retriever or something. It was really nice. But they're almost always service dogs when you do this? Yes. Yeah. Because that's that is the rule.

That's the word I was looking for. Service dogs is that typically that's the Uber Lyft rule is that, or at least the Lyft rule, is that you can bring a dong as long as it's a service dog. But I don't, I don't. You don't care, right? It's not going to bother you. I'm dog friendly.

I'll bring any dog. Yeah, unless someone brings like a cat with a shits on the car in the car or something like that. Yeah, exactly. Which you don't. Why does it have to be a cat that shits? Why can't it be a dog that shits on the car? Totally could be a dog. It's because my memory, my whole...

You're so anti-cats, Scott. My life is so tied to that time that I very rudely, and I would never do this again, and I still feel bad about it. But at the time me and my friend were mad at another friend. So we took a cat, fed it laxatives, and then put it in his hot car. and then let it poop in his car all night. I still feel guilt about that. That was a terrible prank.

It was a terrible thing to do with the cat. Oh, I know. The cat alone. Forget about the people in the car for a minute. Like the cat alone was not good. I shouldn't have done that to a cat. But that's why it always goes to that for me. If you're going to have a problem with a pet in a car in my head, it's a cat every time.

I've done it to myself. That reminds me. I had an Uncle Ben moment. I had a what would you do moment. That same day, same day on Sunday. was driving down a residential street or a street that had neighborhoods on either side of it, no house is backing up to the street, but one side also had a park. And there was one of these pedestrian things where if there's a pedestrian crossing this crosswalk,

you stop, but normally there's not a light there or anything. And there was a car in front of me. It stopped for this woman who was walking across the street. I stopped behind it. and she had two dogs with her. She was on the way of the park. She had big bulky headphones on. And she had one of those catapult launcher tennis ball things under her arm with the tennis ball part behind her.

With the scoop thing, right? With the scoop thing, exactly, exactly. And the scoop part with the tennis ball in it was behind her. And as she's walking, the tennis ball falls out. And she doesn't notice it. She's got her headphones on. she doesn't feel it but one of the dogs is like you know just trotting along on the thing and then just like well no oh no no no the ball you left the ball back there and she's ignoring it she's

continued to walk across to the park and i just watched this ball kind of roll down the street the opposite direction and i'm like oh and i can't tell her because i can't like roll down the window and say you drop the tennis ball because she's got headphones on she's not going to hear it no i just felt so horrible it's like an uncle ben moment like should i've had a passenger of the car. I told the pastor, hold on a second. This is important. Pulled over, got in the tennis ball, ran it over to her, made the dog happy. You would have given that guy a story. He would have gone, hey, you should have seen what my lift driver did today. Yeah, or he would have said, sorry I was late. My lift driver decided to get out of the car and return a tennis ball to a dog.

You had to chase a ball. That's crazy. I understand that feeling like you want to help him, but you can't. You know? What are you going to do? I get it. Hey, quick thing, before we get to Tad Pooley Feud, I heard this quote from Ron Howard that I really liked. And I just thought people might enjoy it. We're both movie fans here.

We like, in fact, I'd say there's a good chance there are a few Ron Howard movies that we rather enjoy. For sure. And I always wonder what directors think of all the moves into digital, digital editing, moving away from film. to pure digital filmmaking, this sort of stuff. And I feel like none of them, none of the big directors really mention it all that often.

Either it's really basic, like, oh, yeah, I'm embracing it, or no, I don't like it. I'm Tarantino. I'm doing film or whatever. But he had this really interesting clip, and I just thought, we're all a bunch of film buffs. We might enjoy this quote from Ron Howard. So former Opie, now legendary filmmaker, Ron Howard,

saying this about the modern state of filmmaking. You know, I'm less tired at the end of a movie, now as a director than I was in my 30s. And that's really because of digital filmmaking. A lot of the stress and strain of trying to put a fine point on it on the set is gone. You can do that later. You can do it in post. You can refine it.

Well, that frees everybody. It frees the actors. It means we work faster. There's a better flow. All these things lend themselves to elevated achievements in front of that camera for those actors. And I think that's probably drives imagine more than anything. I don't know why I found that so interesting, but I do. Partly because you just never hear from these guys, and, you know, there he is talking about it, which is pretty cool.

For sure. It's just the fact that I'm less tired now. Yeah. How recent is that clip? Because my God, the guy still sounds like he's 25. Still sounds like he's, you know, following Hans Solo in American graffiti. That was maybe a week ago. So he's, he could still, he could narrate a rest of development until he's dead. He totally could.

Yeah, good point. He just sounds like a kid. He sounds like little Ron Howard still. He does, yeah. Unlike his brother. It sounds like weird Ron Howard. Hey, Fonz. And then we also got the shortest call ever.

This is for TNF. It's Draglia calling back. Love the show, though. That's it. That's the call. Oh, nice. All right. Cool.

Well, we love you too, man. I have no problem with that. You guys can call him to say how much you like the show. It's fine. We don't discriminate. For sure. But we do this. We do this game thing.

Done away, comes in. Yeah. Does a deal. That's a good time. He's in the game. We're good. Oh, that's fantastic to hear. Let's get that going then and see if we can't make fools out of you and me.

And if you want to be a part of this today, you've got to send me a Discord ping. My personal Discord, you should all be a part of. If you're part of our server, you can just send me a PM. And when you do, I will pull one of you in to play with us today. It's you who could win. All right? So get that stuff in here, get that call happening. Here we go.

Brian Dunaway joining us for a little, a bit of the old Tab Pooley feud. Hello, Brian. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Oh, hello, Brian. Hi. How's it going today, guys? We're good, man. How you doing?

I'm doing okay. I got a dentist appointment at 2.30 now. Oh, yeah. Heardy. Tooth. Oh, that's good. Tooth. The funny thing is, the tooth don't hurty, but I did.

If you don't know, I broke part of my tooth off on the backside. And it doesn't hurt. Right after Filmsack on Saturday, too. Like, it happened between film sack and when you maybe would have joined us for play date. I was so pleased. You know how it is when you're like, you're just going along chewing and you're like, oh, well, that feels weird. I don't know where to tooth go then.

Oh, it's part of a tooth missing. That's a terrible feeling. It is a horrible feeling. Where were you eating when this happened? I don't even remember. I was just like, I think it was like a sandwich or something. You know, it's like if your teeth break off on a white bread sandwich, right, right. I've had that.

My dentist told me, last time I had a crown issue, my dentist told him, I said, what are the worst things for crowns coming off or even just teeth? And he says, here's the list from worst to best in the top, or the top three worst. We'll say it that way. Number one bread. He says bread of any kind is number one. Because bread, if it's positioned just right and you soften it just right, creates suction like nothing else he says. That's what he says. It's my dentist.

So I don't know. Interesting. He says that. He said Swedish fish number two. And number three was, um, uh, dots. How very specific. Yes, very specific. Yeah, he said Swedish fish and dots was number three, which is a whole other version of that.

So, yeah, they're both there. Those are kind of the same thing. Yeah. I would have thought Taffy would have been worse. but you know it's not it's not a crown it's literally i had a okay so i had a the old whether mercury feelings or whatever the old silver fillings and they replaced it like in this past year in february and she says oh she said by the way that tooth is cracked in the back so you know might have to have a root canal or something eventually and so i guess it just like

it broke off and like i said no pain so i just i'm going to the dentist just going in they say they're probably going to say they're probably going to say we're going to have to the real canal and give you a crown and oh it's going to be a lot of fun and a lot of money well hopefully hopefully what they do in that great grandma voice is they say you just lost a chunk of that's my dentist she's a she's an 80 year old ladies yeah and if they get really shut up i want you i really i've never had a female dentist in my life are there any women dentists out there because i want yes totally i have i have a female dentist absolutely we had one at um when we lived like two houses ago, or I guess one house ago, the place that we lived in a place we went,

it was one of these chain dentist places called Perfect Teeth, and our dentist there was a woman. She got really irritated because Tristan had to look at everything that went into his mouth, so they couldn't, you know, he wouldn't just lay back and say, all right, you'd do it. They'd have to show them the sonic cleaner. They'd have to show them the little screen. Let me see it. Let me see it. They'd have to show them.

Wow. These are my fingers. Why does Tristan have trust? issues. What did you do to that kid? I don't know. I don't know what we did to the poor kid. Apparently, we did something, right? We broke him so where he can't, uh, he needs to see what's getting put in his mouth. Took him to the dentist. That's your problem there. All kids hate it. Uh, well, anyway, I'm glad you're, it's not a big deal and hopefully it's an inlay or something easy and you don't have to worry too much about it. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how it goes.

Let's, uh, let's play a game we have on the phone with us. A birthday girl. Yes, that's right. Nine of 12. September joining us as our contestant today. Oh, September is here. Oh, hi. Hi. Hi. How are you let's go party yeah you guys were just partying you were all partying like a week ago or something like that we can have that's right yeah pretty cool uh that's good day having out with the bears watching old videos it was awesome you know letting the beers dig through the cars yeah it's awesome how many cars were affected was it just doneaways or more than that two three or four was it was there was at least three right i think i think there were three cars wow it was definitely me and chuck and amy cars they were protecting the environment

Oh, that's funny. There you go. They were gas. Is that where there were a lot of hybrids? Well, the electric cars, the handles go into the car. Oh, right. The Bears can get a, the Bears' claws can gain no purchase. Yeah.

Couldn't try to open them. That's right. I really want to see how those bears over. I really wanted some video. I really want to do these slides their hands. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but nobody had, I assume there was no security cameras aimed at that parking area or any of that.

No security cameras that we know of. There was a sign on one of the cabins that there was a ring doorbell, but then, I don't know. That's funny. Neither of them had a ring doorbell. That's weird. Well, all right. I'm glad you're here. And, of course, we assumed it was bears.

I mean, I guess it could have been something else. No one really knows for sure. Yeah, didn't you see paw prints and hair and fur and all that? Isn't that thing? Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, there's lots of things. There's the North Carolina Asheville Bigfoot. I mean, he could have been trying to take a ride.

Could have been. Yeah. Yeah. All right. No, this is a good theory. Let's run with it. Let's go with the most unlikely scenario instead of the likely one. I had some sausage.

I had some Jack Link sausages in there, you know, so he's kind of down with that. Oh, did you really? Oh, my God. I know he got into your health bars or your, like, your cliff bars and stuff. did not like the Mentos, was not a fan. Yeah, we learned that bears did not like Mentos. Fresh breath. Yeah, they're not fresh makers, bears, it turns out. No, they are now. I'll tell you who is. It's September is. And we're going to play a game. And we're going to try to win her some codes and some stuff. And it's just great to have you here on your birthday.

Hey, Brian, we want to explain these rules, even though I know September knows them probably by heart. She probably could read them with me. It's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. September, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your team wins, you get a prize package, that

includes Cosmic Express and Miramoon EP, both courtesy of steam. Extended play? Okay. I guess it's the extended play. It's got a couple extra songs on it, which makes it so much better. Big thanks to Racer 951Y for sending these in. Oh, good guy in our

Oh, Racer, yes. They're made the best show guys. Yeah. What's that? What's you saying? Bears don't like mentos because they're made of Coke. Oh. And they just foam up. Cocaine bear.

Cocaine bear. I've seen those commercials. I thought it was just polar bears that didn't like mentos because of the coke. Oh, man. I never thought of that before. You never do see one of those white Coke bears and drinking or eating any mentos, do you? Hmm. I guess it's true.

All right. Let's give you guys your topic. By the way, this is the last topic from the summer. spring, summer, um, tadpool-y-fewed survey. So make sure you go and fill out the new survey. It's already up. You can just go to tiny.cc slash tadpool survey, I believe, let me confirm that. Um, it's, it's pinned in the Discord in the, uh, TMS Discord.

I think, Scott, you might have tweeted it maybe at some point. I did. It's also up on the Facebook group. Shoot. I don't remember the tiny. It was something like that, though. It was something like that, though. It's tiny.cc.c slash tadpool survey.

And you can do it all lowercase. You can capitalize the T and Tadpool. You can capitalize Tadpool and survey. But don't do all caps. For some reason, I was too lazy to do that one. Oh, you did multiple. That's pretty good. I did multiple.

Yeah. All right. Let's make it so if they, however they go do it. They do it. And I will tell you also. We had one question that I just completely decided not to use. I'm going to tell you right now. The question was, what lesser-known video game could use a remake with current technology?

And I had three, you know, almost 300, almost 400 answers to this thing. And I think, I think the most unique or the most any, any answer got, I think, let's see here. Four people, no, three people, four people said Marvel Madness. Oh, only four. Wow. Eight people said Pong, five or six for Cubert. Like, it really, it did not garner enough, enough. Interesting.

Agreements. You're the most diverse nerds. Yes, exactly. So, I limited that one. We went with this one. All right. Put your hands on your buzzers. We asked 389 tadpullers to give their best answer to this.

Name a Halloween costume you wore or would have worn in the 1980s. Right. Sexy nurse. Wow. Okay. Show me. sexy nurse wow

are you kidding me wow I repeat the question for Scott in case that helps all right name a Halloween costume you wore or would have worn in the 1980s

um the decade part is interesting but I'll say I'll just say Batman's probably on this list somewhere so Batman

show me Batman okay yeah number seven really yeah very good I just I did the 80s part's throwing me but

I'll go ahead and help you out here nobody said sexy anything I can't believe nobody said as sarcastic as the tadpool is I can't believe nobody said sexy that's crazy nobody said let me let me re-check here

no no sexy nurse well there's nurse one person said nurse oh all right do I get that one all right I'm taking that one no and that's probably because their parents worked in the healthcare industry and it's just cheaper for them

bring home scrubs. Oh, yeah. Here's your costume. Scrubs. Yeah, wear my scrubs. I ain't got no scrubs. Scrubs for a guy who's not me. Anyway, I don't know that song.

Sure. Scott, that was so. That was so. Come on. You have to admit, pretty good hit I was right in there for a second. Yeah, I felt the copy strike. Yeah, the copyright was coming. You could feel it.

September, what do you, you got anything hopping in your head? Okay, so 80s, right? 80s. 80s. 80s, yeah. I don't know in the 80s I was dressing as members of kiss but I doubt many of us were yeah I did I did Paul Stanley once but it I think it is it I'm trying to think of the tadpulled lump it and say rock stars or something or if they got that specific or if Brian

would let it go you know you know what I think I would just let it go you think about more superheroes um what about Superman yeah Superman or Spider-Man We're in my head, too. Oh, yeah, he's been around forever and ever. Spider-Man feels like one. We'll do Spider-Man on this one, see if we get away with it. So, Spider-Man. Show me Spider-Man.

Oh, man. Really? No, however, Spider-Man was on the list, number 16, six people, said Spider-Man. I dressed up as Spider-Man in the 80s. I had a costume that my mom basically had to sew me into because she started working on it the weekend before Halloween. and didn't have time to do any Velcro or zippers or anything like that. So that made for a fairly uncomfortable Halloween party that I went to.

Now, what you young folks got to, what you young folks got to understand is when we're talking about a Batman costume, what we're really talking about is a TG and Y special of plastic that will cut into your face. Yeah. It's a cheap plastic suit with a elastic band that goes around the back of the head. and a flame-retardant plastic suit that says Batman on the front of it, and it has a picture of Batman on the chest. You don't know. And you can stick your tongue out through the little hole.

Exactly. No peripheral vision whatsoever. That little hole, and it was all sweaty in there. So gross. And it wasn't until then that you realized how bad your breath stank. Okay, so I'm going to go with homemade costume, the one where you forgot until the very last second and your mom goes, okay, we're cutting the sheets, you're going as a ghost.

Ghost. All right. Show me a ghost. Jeez. Scooby-Doo. Scooby-Doo special, right? Go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-host. Good call. Or you go, Charlie Brown and cut a bunch of holes. I love that, though.

That's one of my favorite things in Charlie Brown is all those holes. He couldn't get it right. Yeah, and then you get rocks for stuff. I mean, I'm already missing Halloween. It's not long, though. It's just coming up soon. Yeah, you got, you got a time. Time.

One and a half. Yeah, you got time. That'll be fun. That was actually a good time to start working on your costume, not the weekend before Halloween. Yeah, do it now. Right. Has anyone, sorry, sorry to derail us for a second, but has anybody got the costumes all picked out? You guys know what you're going to be?

Well, I'm going on a cruise, a D&D cruise, and I'll be in the Bermuda Triangle on Halloween, but they're going to have a masquerade ball at this single mansion in Bermuda. so my husband and I are doing a crow and a white raven and I've got like feathers all over a dress and Rob 3D printed a massive little clip on his glasses

That's awesome Oh that's so cool Just to be in the Bermuda Triangle on Halloween That is the best part right there Yeah I guess this will be our last conversation Goodbye Yeah goodbye everyone

Do you have to roll a 20-sided die to pick which you're going to eat from the buffet Oh, no. Batched. I guess I'm getting the green bean casserole. Brian, are you... But do you know what you're going to? Although it just makes my Halloween fairy thing a little tricky this year.

I have to have somebody pick up the stuff and I'll drop it off early. Whatever. Yeah, it'll all work out. I bit, do you know what you're going to be? Yeah, I'm probably going to do a Bob Ross thing. I picked up an afro at Spirit Halloween back in June when they opened. and I'm going to be That joke

That joke I got That was good Excellent I was open Because I would have called you out twice That was a strong That was a good one Right off the bat

I got it I'm good So I've got some It's really cool Because we've got the Beer Fest Coming up later this month We've got

I'm going to go Saturday night To see a band called Yacht Rock Review So I'm basically going to Get a lot of use Out of this Afro I'm going to be Yot Rock Joe

with a headband, the afro, and some 70s, 80s, sunglasses on Saturday. Then I'll repurpose it as hippie dude for the beer fest, and then I'll be Bob Ross for Halloween. I like it. It's an economic, yeah, economic use of your wig. That's fantastic. $20, yeah, $20 afro, multiple uses out of it. Yeah, love it.

Learn something, kids. This is a good idea. Done away, sorry, I didn't let you answer. What are you doing? or how probably nothing that's just the answer probably nothing not going to dress up or nothing you love Halloween you didn't hear you didn't hear how I do love Halloween you didn't hear me break in because really it's going to be the same thing I do every year I set up the I set up the projector outside in the front yard I have a screen that I put up and there's there's like a haunted hay ride that goes

through our area and so I'm always playing some kind of Halloween movie out there and giving away That's cool. That sounds like fun. I haven't decided what we're going to dress up is. We usually end up going to, we used to do our own thing, but we usually just end up going to Spirit of Halloween and just pick something up there. Spirit of Halloween. You just call it Spirit of Halloween.

Spirit. Spirit of Halloween. We don't have the real one here. So we don't have Spirit of Halloween. Both of those are like, it sounded like a break noise in my head. I was like, wait a minute. What? Spirit of Halloween.

I need to know more. about this little offshoot. That's fantastic. Scott, are you going to do anything? I don't know. Yeah. Kim says she's got some idea.

She won't tell me. So now I'm assuming I'll hear soon enough. But yeah, I think I am going to try to do something this year because I think we're hosting something like a get-together. Oh, cool. And I usually am like too lazy by the time of the day rolls around. I'm like, eh, whatever.

I'll just stay by the door and deal with the thing. But if we're doing a party. Surprise couples costumes sounds like the best thing. Yeah, it sounds like, oh, yeah. Surprise. Chat room says it should be the predator. I don't. I don't know about that.

That seems like a bad idea. Anyway, all right, sorry, back to the thing. I don't remember whose turn it was. Was it done away? Let's see. You got ghosts. Scott got ghost. I'm sorry, Brian got ghost.

Still done away then. Jesus. Jesus. We've given you a lot of time to think. Wait, you're saying you could come as Jesus. At this point, I've forgotten what the question was. I'm going to be Jesus. That's what I'll do.

I'll get a beard, long hair. You're going to be Jesus. Yeah, yeah. I'll walk in and go, hey, what's up, y'all? If that's what you want I was Superman More than one year in a row So I'm gonna go with

You know You don't say Superman Superman I'm going to Superman Sure Superman All right Show me One of the other super friends

Superman Oh are you kidding me That's crazy Nope number 12 Though in the list So you're a bunch of You bunch of liars Every time I went out

To go to Halloween It was always like 50 Superman Come on So What about... I mean, let me reemphasize the words 80s Halloween costume you would have worn 80s. Yeah, because I get a feeling in September,

you know, correct me if you think I'm wrong here, but I get the feeling that maybe we're going to have some 80s specific stuff that maybe even kids weren't wearing that often, but people are putting it on this list because they're thinking, well, that's something you would be in the 80s. That's what I would have worn. Yeah. So anything in your head? What do you got? G. I. Joe.

Oh, I kind of like that. I did that once. Go Joe. Who's the snake eyes? Ghostbusters? Holy crap. I was snake eyes. That's, I think, one of the first franchises that everyone wore for a whole. Jeez, we all people are rich.

You just get the polyester jumpsuit one. Yeah. Or you buy, you just wear your dad's overalls and wear and, you know, hold a stick. It's like not a big deal. I think Ghostbusters is actually the better answer. let's say Ghostbusters. Let's do it. All right. Show me. Ghostbusters. Yeah, it's not just the better answer. It's the best answer.

Number one answer on the board. I was alive in the 80s. Yeah, you were. People were so full of crap. Look, who knows? And this cuts out three years of the 80s. So 80 through 83, nobody was a ghostbuster because it didn't exist yet. Right.

So we're talking about the latter seven or so years. All right. I like that one. We've got to be thinking like that. I think like that. I think the chat has a good hint there with Star Wars stuff.

Oh shit. Oh, yeah. Darth Vader. Duh. Plastic mask. You're sweaty. Show me. Show me.

That was the sound of a little kid with those That's believable. I was there. Yeah, they were playing of Darth Vader's. Yeah. Yeah, you remember now.

I remember. Oh, I remember that. I just remember anything of Ghostbusters. So on the same thing or area or zone here, how do we feel about, maybe Chewbacca's too specific? Oh, I don't know. There's got to be other Star Wars stuff, is my point. It just owned us for a decade. So what else would there be?

Like Luke maybe? Leia. Leia maybe? Oh, yeah, lots of Leia girls. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that was good because Star Wars actually gave you something. Because, like, the robe was easy to make, and then you just had to, you know. So do your hair like that.

Oh, so, so not slave girls, Leah. No, no, no, no. Definitely not slave, Leah. It's not appropriate for the little, little kids. Yeah, yeah. I would say more Princess Organa, you know, that whole thing. Let's go with that. Why not?

Let's give the girls a bone here and say, Leah. All right. Show me Princess Leia. Oh, come on. I'm kind of amazed. I don't remember seeing any Princess Leia's in this list. And it really surprised me because that felt like an obvious one. Damn it.

No. Oh, there we go. Princess Leia from the end of Return of the Jedi. Somebody actually did have that costume. One person said it. From the end of Returns. End of Jedi. The end of Jedi did not.

Yeah, that was not the way. Ewak Village listening to the Jub-Jub songs and all that. Those were cool outfits. They were like writing outfits. I officiated a wedding as Leah a couple years ago. Really? Which Leah were you?

Were you bun Leah? I was saying, I mean, I didn't have the general outfit, but I had a white shirt that crossed over, kind of like a road, and I did the buns. Oh, really? Okay. My hair was like waist length of the time, so I did the whole buns. Yeah, I mean, with the except,

of the um the the throne room thing at the very end laia wears the same thing throughout the entirety of star wars and then she finally gets a costume change at the end of the movie whereas in empire and return the jedi they figured we can sell a lot more action figures if we ever change clothes like eight or nine you know you're hoth lea your bespin lea you're uh you know you're i got a thermonuclear detonator or Leah. Yeah, yeah, right. Your Bosch, Leah. When she was hanging out on Cloud City, she had, I think, probably her best look. That's one of the figures I bought. But you're right. I agree. I swear that's a money thing where they're just like, you know what? We need to sell a bunch of figures. The can't all be in a white dress and buns. It's got to be more. Exactly. You can be in a bun, hon. If I'm Kenner, I'm going crazy. Anyway, go ahead, Don't we? Since we're not actually going with stuff, costumes we wore in the 80s and we're just going to shit this 80s, and I'm going to go. name shit from the 80s

just naming shit from the 80s I guess I'll go with Alth then Oh nice You love Alf I love that you love Alf enough to say Alf This is good Let's do it Show me Alf

Are kidding me come on Alff Not even one in the list That's funny All right so Oh and I see someone in the chat mention this too i kind of like the sound of um some of the horror icons so like yeah that's what i was thinking too actually maybe freddie or jason probably jason more than

freddie if i had to guess because that gloves kind of hard to make unless you buy the plastic cheap one i don't know i feel like the hockey mask is simple which one wore the shatner mask uh that was michael mike myers so that would have been michael myers um would you get credit if you just said uh hockey mask is uh hockey mask is jason Jason Borges. No, I would not give this credit for Defton Kirkman. I feel pretty good about

Vorhe's. Let's try that first and then we'll see. I'm nervous. Show me. Number 10. Big points. Nice. Nice.

Take that done away right in the chode. Hey. That hurts. Listen, it would hurt. Right in the chode even. Let's see, what else? Should we go horror again or no? What do you think?

We want to go horror, but maybe like witch, vampire, like more classic. Ooh, that's a duh, witch. That's, that's, which vampire. What? I like either of those. There was a comma. The comma was implied. Do you have a preference of either, of which, of one of those?

Vampire or witch? I guess we should go vampire because, I don't know. I think we have more men than women answering this. I feel like you're right. Let's say vampire. That Leia thing tells me that. Yep. All right.

Show me vampire. Oh, good one. Yep. Vampire or Dracula, number four on the list. Okay. So we still have four items on the list that have not been chosen. Dunaway could still win. Let's see.

24. Yeah, he could. 17 plus 6. 22. But will he? is the question. Willie, yeah. He'd need to get three, so it wouldn't even count for a run of the board.

But we're getting a lot of... You get one more and you lock this thing down. I mean, but she just got, I remember, I said Alf. Yeah, that's true, yeah. So, points are not... Oh, no. Oh, no, we last September. I'll add her again.

I'll add her again. There we go. I think she's cut out for some reason. There you go. She's back. No worries. Getting a lot of Indie. Indiana Joneses. September's back. How do you guys feel about Indiana Jones?

I think Andy's a good thing people would say, kind of like Ghostbusters Vane. Yeah, you get a whip, you get some khakis. The fedora and a whip is not that hard. Yeah, you tell your mom, toss me the whip. Yeah, and she goes, give me the candy. Throw me the Mars bar, I'll throw you the whip to say. I mean, yeah.

The mom's already had the whip. They didn't even need to go to the Halloween store. Might have already had one. Yeah. That peanut butter that belongs in a museum, dad. That's what you'd say. All right, let's do it.

Let's do him. Show me Indiana Jones. Oh! I know. Number 14 on the list was Indiana Jones. So close. All right, Brian, you've got one more yes. And somehow if you want to win,

you need to rack up 15 points on this thing. Well, those are going to be Wonder Woman or Smurfs. Since there are a bunch of small blue people, I'm going to go with Smurfs. All right. I'm not going to make you be more specific. Well, maybe I'll make you be more specific. No, I'm not going to make you be more specific.

All right. Show me Smurfs. Oh. Damn it. Did Smurfs even come up? Hold on. I hate that. That surprises me if it didn't.

Yes. Oh, sorry, two people said Smurf. Are you guys even alive during the 80s? No. Look, look. The Smurfs. were a big deal, but who would you, what would you look, you would look terrible as a smurf? You'd just have what, the blue pants?

Or no, the blue face? Have you not seen 80s costumes with, I mean, I was just, all I was doing, yeah, I guess they did. All I was doing was going down the aisles at TG and Y in my memory and seeing the smurfs. I have not thought of TG and Y, by the way, since the last one closed in Denver, whenever it was. Right. I'm at the Sky City and I'm looking through and I'm seeing I did see he man

but I don't think I might be up there but yeah that's what I've been seeing I'm seeing some I should have said he man shit number six oh he man yeah dang it of course yeah Brian can you tell us since

these are all X's can you just say if Skeletor is on here Skeletor is not damn it they put the wrong character on there Go ahead. I agreed. Number three,

Teenage Mewo Ninja Turtles. Yeah, yeah. Comedy came out on 84. When did the cartoons start premiering? That was late 80s. Yeah, kids wouldn't have picked up from just the comic. Yeah. Right.

Yeah, it would have been your parents just and you like that. Yeah. Right. You hinted at him. You didn't go with them. Number five. Freddie Kruger. Ah, damn it.

Plastic cutlery and a glue to a glove. Easy, easy costume. Red and green sweatshirt. and a crappy hat. Done. I think I actually did that when I was at art school. Wonder Woman Cabbage Patch or Rainbow Bright. None of the above.

I think came out in 1981. Kids and adults both loved it. Made you cry to end. E.T. No, that's a good pick, even though I'm trying to picture a costume. I guess it would look pretty weird. It would have been the dumb plastic. mask with the elastic deal.

Yeah, I think you're right. Nobody's cosplaying any really well done, like long neck, fit in the squatty body with a big giant finger that you point to in the bag for your candy. Right. Ouch. Yep. Or a really funny shape ghost.

Isn't that how they hit him on Halloween? Right. Yeah. That's right. Oh, I found a few. Everybody thought it was a crazy. The next one's on the list. Let's see, Martin McFly, number 11.

Again, all you need is an orange vest for that one. Superman, pirate, Indiana Jones, ninja, Luke Skywalker, Optimus Prime, or any transformer. I think there were ninjas. I'm not sure. There were ninjas. We had ninjas and pirates. Yeah, always better. They blended in so well.

Yeah, you weren't sure if you saw them. Plenty of people as a pumpkin. Again, just a big orange garbage bag in your pumpkin. Which was number 21, by the way. So some people did say which. Chubaca made it is number 22. Cowboy Ewok, Jedi, Madonna, clown hobo, Michael Myers,

Rainbow Bright. I like this word salad of 80s. It's very sing-songy. Totally. It's sing-songy. I love it. C-3PO, Captain America, Casper the Ghost,

Cat and Catwoman, each getting two votes. Cylon, devil, grim reaper, Incredible Hulk, Kiss. Two people said kiss. You might have been one of them, September. I might have been one of them.

Night Rider. Mario, probably not. Maverick from Top Gun, Michael Jackson from Thriller, Rocker. Here was that no kids walk around is. It's Maverick. David Hassel. No, hell no. Oh, yeah, yes. In leather.

For sure. That's not happening. Scooby-Doo, Terminator, Yoda, and then a whole bunch of ones that just came as one person, Apricot from Strawberry Shortcake. Arab Terrorist, Attack of the Killer Tomato costume. I have a picture, L.O. L.O. 80s terrorists? I don't think Bart Simpson. I think that might have been a little late. It would have to be 89. 1989. 88. Any wrestlers?

No wrestlers, believe it or not. Really? Data. Again, I think. Oh, wait, no, Star Trek next generation was 87. Premier? That is correct. 87. That is correct. Yeah, the horrible one with crusty space hands in the big costume and all that? That's totally easy. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, energizer bunny, fire hydrant, football player, Frankenpig, gremlin, gray alien, Gumbie, uh, Hooters Girl. Hooters Girl. Oh, Hulk Hogan did make the list. There was one. Okay.

Uh, several, several people also didn't read the question saying, uh, named a costume you wore or would have worn in the 80s. So we had a lot of people, I wasn't alive in the 80s or I stopped trick-or-treating in the 70s. It's like, that's not what I asked. That's not the question, yeah. No kidding. Two people said Jim, and they were both truly, truly outrageous. Oh, wow. Truly.

I thought Jim was in 90s, but I don't remember that thing. That was my sister's watched Jim. I didn't watch that. A lot of other typical, uh, Cubert. No, she wrote to me too. Cubert, nice. See, Cuber getting some love. I like that.

Cuber would be fun. Yeah. Yeah. Um, robot. Skexis from the Dark Crystal. Oh, one person said Skeletor. They had one skeletor. Oh, good.

Well, I feel. deemed that's good uh strawberry shortcake supergirl to flash somebody dressed as the giving tree i'm sorry um and finally one person says who the f remembers that shit oh there you go there is your oh man that's a sad one at the end well xexies would be so hard to do oh it would be right no it's like chuck and amy on a great day yeah i couldn't do that they're doing that this year right are they doing askexes this year is that true No, I'm planting that seed. Oh, that'd be amazing.

Oh, my gosh. If somebody could pull that off in our community, we would be, we'd have more downloads. That's the point. Well, do you get one of these then, September for your win? Congratulations. You're a winner. Which means Brian is a loser and didn't win. We'd like to look at both the positive and negative of this, right?

It's not always winner. Sometimes it's losers. But today, you won. You won these codes. And Brian has probably already sent them to you, if I had to guess. In the process, because I'm writing a longer message. There we go. Now you got them.

Yeah, there you go. By the way, our giving tree was red fraggle, was Amy. Oh, really? Oh, nice. For Halloween. Did she really do that, though? You were actually a giving tree? I would not be surprised.

I love that. It's so cool. It's so on point, right? Because it's a book. Yeah. You know, it's like it's so perfect. Can I ask a question of the two men here? And don't be embarrassed.

If you can't say, you don't want to say, don't. but I feel like in the 80s there was at least one maybe it was junior high era whatever but there was one time where you dressed up like a girl because you thought that was funny did you guys do that yeah I never did but I did totally would have I thought it was hilarious look at me running around like a lady I don't know why I think that's funny it wasn't funny then it was not funny now I was just dumb

it was funny then I've never found I've never found it funny It is when I've always Oh, come on. Even when Flip Wilson did it? Flip Wilson with Monty Python guys did it? Flip Wilson. I never saw any humor in it. I just don't see any humor at it.

What a throwback from Flip Wilson's name is. What about the 90-year-olds in our audience? No, what about, come on. When Monty Python did it, it was like, oh, it's kind of funny because it's... I didn't like when a Bugs Bunny did it. I just never cared for it. I do like it. You know what?

I liked it when Monty Python doing it's a different sort of funny because it's not funny like ha ha he's playing a woman it's that she's going like this insane Sam it's just like a voice and everything that goes along with it yeah it's not just look at me I'm dressed as a woman it's a whole like um jokey voice and stuff with it exactly and anyone who doesn't know who this flip Wilson is go look it up on Wikipedia and learn for yourself like he's the the the oldest what I can think of that ever did i know there were plenty of performers who dressed up as uh women before that but right i mean it's it's it's kind of my equivalent of ibitt's hillbilly humor i just don't find it funny there's just nothing there's just nothing funny about it is this like okay what about the

queen video for you went and put the queen video for i want to break free come on that's awesome because you got freddie mercury i appreciate i appreciate i appreciate the art of of doing that. I do not appreciate the humor of it. It just doesn't strike me as funny. All right. Well, let's make sure and watch Tootsie for an upcoming film set. That's right.

Or White Chicks. What's the one with the Wayans Brothers? Once again, none of that bothers me. White Chicks. Is that white chicks? White Chicks. It was a Rob Schneider one too, right? Yes.

The hot chick? Hot chicks or something. Where he's on the front, he's holding two cucumber slices on his boobies. Right. Don't get me wrong. I've seen humor when people are, you know, I've seen humor before, but not because of the cross-dressing or whatever you want to. The humor doesn't for you doesn't come from the dressing up as a woman.

It comes from what the character might do when he dresses. Right. If something humorous happens, it's just they could be wearing anything. So here's how you torture Dunaway at the next meetup, all right? You pin him down. Right. You strap him down and you make him watch bosom buddies front to back, Just the whole show.

I love Boosum Buddies. The sincerity of what they do is. You call it Boosem Buddies. Boosem buddies over at the, what did you call? What was the spirit of Halloween? Spirit of Halloween. That is my favorite thing I've heard in Wings. Please, somebody, spirit of Halloween, will be our show title today.

I'm just saying it right now. Whether you put it in or not, we're making that our title, all right? That's the rules. Anyway, I just would like to one more time say happy birthday to our winner. And I hope you have a great birthday, but people take nice care of you. today. Are you doing anything fun? Are you expecting anything cool? Well, Rob doesn't listen

so I can tell you guys that his parents are flying in as a surprise from Prince Edward Island and they're meeting us at the restaurant. We're going to for my birthday tonight. Oh. So do you like these in-laws? That's an important thing to ask before I make judgment here. Is this a pleasant birthday surprise or he asked?

He got the crazy people when he married me, but his family is wonderful. Oh, well, good. Then that's awesome. I'm very happy to hear that. That's a rare thing. You should enjoy that for as long as you can enjoy it. All right. Well, congratulations once again.

And Brian, tonight you and I are going to get together again at 3.30 Mountain Time to do a little play retro. And today we're going to talk about one of my favorite video game genres, if you can even call it that. And that is video game pinball games. Ooh, especially the older ones. Pokemon pinball, one of my favorites of all time. Both the N.S. Game Boy, Keller, I guess, and GBA versions are both excellent. I love Kirby's.

Oh, I forgot the name. The Kirby one. Kirby's Pinball land. Pinball land, that's it. That's a great game. There's a ton of other ones. Demons. Space.

Remember Space Cadet on the Windows 95 plus? I love that one so much. Came free with Windows for the longest time. Trying to remember what the, there was one that, it's a newer one that I was able to backload and install on the Marvel pinball machine. got all of like Mars attacks and stuff like that. And I'm sure I remember the group that does it, but they put out, currently

put out some great pinball. Is that the Zen? Zen? Yes. Thank you. Zen pinball. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Thank you, Scott. Yeah. So we're going to talk about some of those, some of the older ones, the ones that were trying to be realistic representations of a pinball machine

versus the ones that are a little bit more fanciful like Sonic spinball or, you know. Will you talk about wildfire even though it wasn't a video game but a handheld We should put that on our list Because I think that those count In this case

We're talking about retro stuff That's pretty retro I mean yeah I mean we're only covering 20 different pinball games We should definitely We've got time scout We'll make this six hour show Totally fine

Yeah there's some really good stuff on there Let's do it But I'm excited about this episode It's gonna be great So tune in today 330 Sorry 4 p.m. mountain time Unless his dental appointment goes long It shouldn't should be plenty of time

but if not we'll let you know and hopefully your shiny new tooth is not an issue or you're not in pain and all that but assuming everything goes like this exactly we'll be there we'll be talking about this stuff and it'll be up on the podcast later that's at frogpants.com slash play retro

Brian Dunaway is there anything else you'd like to say it's been a wonderful time today I thank you guys for hanging out with me and I'd just like to say no you okay bye Wow. He's got his own little thing like Schleke.

Yeah. I like that. Some people want you to stay hydrated. Brian Denoid, we just know you. Yeah, no you. We're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, we're going to do recommendals at basically the normal time. It turns out the way things went today. We went along. It's fine because no Tom. Not Tom's still in Korea. That's right. So you're not going to get any Tom time until next week.

But that'll be good next week because that's the Apple thing. Right. The day after the Apple event, or is it the day of it's the 12th is the event? So day after. Day after. Okay, good. That's perfect because we can kind of sum it up and all that.

I can't believe Apple came out with a foldable iPad. What? If you want, we should plan now you and I to hang around and watch a thing and do a stream or something, co-stream.

I would totally do it live. Yeah, absolutely. Let's do that because they usually start right around the time we end, I think. They do, yeah. So I can stick around another three hours.

Yeah, I guess it depends on how long they go. I don't know what they're playing. It does usually go long, but that's totally fine. All right, watch for that. Anyway, this break has a song attached to it. Brian will now explain said song. It does, yeah.

A new album from an artist who goes by the name El Bell. But El Bell is, who's the name of this guy? Christopher Poppus is the brainchild behind El Bell. E-L-L-E, B-E-L-L-E. So just how you think you would be spelled. Except it has ease at the end, maybe. I don't know. Anyway, a brand-new album is called How Do I Feel?

courtesy of Little Record Company. If you like the shout-out louds or stars or Ra Ra Riot, you'll like this. Here's the first single from it. It's called Saturday. Here's El Bell. Strange oblivions. swirling faster and faster. Humans are the most natural disaster.

Rainy days are for rainy reasons. I've got my head in those clouds. But keep feeling the deep end with my toes. Feel like I'm gonna lose control. But what am I gonna do? If I can't remember The sun when I'm walking on a Saturday The sun when I'm walking on a Saturday

Boring prophecies Come when nobody's asking There's so much poison in the well But what the hell I already drank some? Lonely hearts are for lonely reasons. I'm not that cynical anymore. And you shouldn't be either, but I can't tell you why. I just know it feels all right.

What am I going to do if I can't remember? when I'm walking on a Saturday The sun when I'm walking on a Saturday My mind is shook I'll get high And think back to the sun When I'm walking on a Saturday Oh, oh, oh, on a Saturday.

I feel the air, shake all the buildings, but the streets below are holding with me low. Oh, and I'm walking on a Saturday. Now, for the real hardcore players, the ones that are crazy tight with the G.C., we've got the MVP card. I'm the guy that gave your daddy. The chef. By the way, that was sent by this thing right here. I'm the guy that gave your daddy.

The chef. Whoever sent that. I cannot refine your name, but I love it. Oh, nicely. Yeah, nicely combined. Nice mash-up there. Nice edit. Hey, remind me the band again that we played there. Sure. The band is L-B-E-E-L-L-L-E. That's so you can search for it.

The brand-new album is called How Do I Feel? And that's the first song. Single from it. It is called Saturday. Sing-song-song-single. Single. Single. Single. Single, single. Single, single. Well, it's time for us to ease into our little watching chair, I guess. I don't know what people use to watch movies. Yeah, a little recliner. Sure. Whatever you're comfortable, you just sit on back and you relax and you enjoy this. Well, what do you recommend? Well, I can tell you what I recommend. I recommend listening to Recommendals, a little segment we do on the show where we talk about streaming stuff and we recommend them to you people. Peeple, Peeple at home. Speaking of Peenpole, we have Nicole Spag joining us. Hi, Nicole.

Hello. Hello, it's good, Debbie, how are you? I'm on time. I feel very proud of myself. not only on time. You are just back from a whirlwind trip to Ohio or Iowa or something. Iowa. We went to Iowa. That's what it was. To a place called the Amanah colonies. Oh, yeah. Yes. And like Brian said,

it is where the Amana refrigerator company. The home of the radar range. That's right. That's right. There's some interesting. It's a historic town for sure. It's a you guys are hobnobbing with some famous-looking PBS-looking wood people. Yeah, that was cool. Yeah, Ryder Hill was there.

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. And then I got a massive migraine when I got home. Oh, well, look, Iowa Tools will do that to you. I don't know why, but they do. With us also, Randy Jordan, aka Randy Deluxe, joining us as well. Hello, Randy. Good morning, morning, stream. Good morning.

Hi. How are you? Oh, we're good. Doing okay, man. Thanks for asking. That's great. Live responses to chat

Hey, Shojo, I did watch at least the beginning of the live action one piece. I was,

I didn't continue. Oh, I'm hearing good things, but maybe it depends on your love for the source material, but by first stuff, that does not translate.

Yeah, the source material is so vast, right? It's like. And weird. Yeah. So is the live action not weird?

Is it too, too tame? Weird. Yeah. It's actually quite dedicated to the source material. They're trying really hard. And I think that aspect of it's real good. I just wasn't drawn in by the story and the whole thing.

Sorry, there's lots of woodworking happening today. Oh, I don't hear it. I don't hear any woodworking. I imagine there's lots of woodworking happening every day. Not necessarily. Yeah. Or at least whispering. Maybe not necessarily woodworking.

Yeah. One piece on. Let's see. It's got a 96% audience score, 84 tomato rating. It seems like fans are happy, but if you're not into it, you just, I guess you're just not into it. Yeah, number one thing on Netflix for days, like, it makes sense. It just wasn't for me. I just didn't find the fun.

Mateo and Mark are watching it. Yeah. Are they enjoying it? Is it weird that I've never seen a single one punch episode? One piece. I'm sorry, one punch. Oh, so it's not one punch man. It's one piece.

Yeah, it's one piece. Yeah. It's one-piece man. One-punch man is a completely different thing. I actually, I will say once again, I think there will eventually be a live-action one-punch man that blows the world away. Oh, guaranteed. And when that happens, I'll come out, I'll say, is it weird that I've never seen a single episode, One Punch Man? So One Piece, One Punch Man haven't seen either.

Yeah, they're both. I think One Punch Man's actually quite cool. I've never seen One Piece either, Brian. I have no idea. I just know it's some pirates, I guess, or something? There's pirates? Yes, kind of. It goes back to like the 90s.

There's like a thousand hours of One Piece. You could just like jump into Eddie given series. That is a non-enticement to me. Can I tell you that in Mateo's circle, it's like credit. Like how many episodes have you watched? How many have you watched? Like competition. I mean, it's been around forever, right?

One Piece started in like the early aughts or late 90s or something. Late 90s? yeah yeah it's really old he's watched 400 episodes i'm like oh wow it's like sponge bob level of length this thing anyway uh all right let's get to our recommendals this week uh good news is we have three yeah you heard me three really good recommendals today because scott never found time to watch anything oh no nothing oh it was later it was your holiday i tried oh you know what i did try last night it would be the most mechimental i could give uh i thought i was going to recommend i'll just get it out of the way now there's this there's this horror movie uh from

15 that somebody said to me oh you're missing out it's totally underrated you should watch it and i thought okay i'll check it out and it's called uh southbound it's currently on tuby so i watched it fully intending to recommend it i even captured a clip from it i think that movie sucked i can't recommend it to people it's not good so yeah so everybody you told me you know Vengeance, he just did Sopranos. I know I've been catching up on the Sopranos lately, so you can... Yeah, I'm on my, like, third watch-through of that, but that's happening in the background. I don't know if I could justify it for recommendals, but, yeah, Southbound, which, let's see,

oh, it had an 81% review, but I don't know why it didn't work with me. Audience score 50, that's where I'm at. It just wasn't very good. Anyway, so that's my not really great thing. So we'll jump to Brian's. Brian, you got one here. Do you want me to play this clip, or what do you got? y'all set it up uh i watched it so i i took scott's uh um uh role didn't not knowing that i was going to be uh doing i don't know what the people are saying red on airlight for did you already mentioned that you didn't when you say we took scott's role though does that mean that you watched some uh some documentary about a butcher of people i watched i watched a documentary indeed i did oh good i don't know why they're saying red on airlight i have no idea i don't either yeah i'm sure they'll clear it up for us um yeah i watched

documentary and it is if you liked free solo this feels like it is the it is right in that same vein and I'll leave it at that let's get to the clip I loved free solo so now I'm excited here we go Steve just fell in love with free diving

and especially the blue hole you live You literally walk from the beach into a abyss. Like there is this gaping hole in the coral weave, which really like wants you to go down there. And then there's this arch, like a chapel on the water. Unfortunately, it also has a bad reputation. It took lives. This is the most dangerous dive sites on Earth.

It's thought to have claimed over 100 lives. In terms of fatalities, the blue hole is even more perilous than Mount Everest. As well as myself, there's only been a handful of people who have free dived through it. I'm so into this sort of thing. Where is this showing even? That's anxiety attack waiting. This is what I was going to say, if you're one of those people who tend to hold your breath when you watch movies where people go underwater, then this is not the one for you. Because there are people doing this stuff who hold their breath for like four, maybe close to five minutes.

They dive down 100 meters and then 10 meters before the time. top, they have to have people pull them up because they've blacked out. And you watch a lot of this. It is amazing. The movie is called The Deepest Breath. It's a documentary about, specifically about a free diver named Alessia Zikini. That's right, Alessia Zikini. Not with a U, but with an E.

So it's Zecini instead of zucchini. And safety diver, Stephen Keenan, who is infamous. He is infamous for having. overseen people dying. Yes, yes. Well, and saved their lives, saved countless lives. And you get to see one of them that where basically he, it's either, you know, he's making the decision, oh, my God, if I go down and pull this guy up, I might die, but I got to do it.

And basically gives his, or, you know, sacrifices, potentially sacrifices himself to save this guy who who wasn't coming back up and is known for this um this is um god it is absolutely beautiful you get so many interviews with different divers talking about free diving and this blue hole they talk about has this um it's this you know straight shaft down of of into the ocean and then there's this arch like a um a place where you can kind of swim out to the side you go for about 30 meters and then you can come back up. But if you underestimate anything or you mistime things or whatever,

you are going to be trapped in the coral of this arch. You're going to be basically like, you're dead. You're dead. Did they talk at all about how these people are like breaking the law? Like Egypt has passed a law that you can't go down there? Oh, I didn't know that. They didn't mention it at all. Is that really true?

Oh, my God. Yeah, they don't mention. any of that um this movie you know if you're if this if this kind of freaks you out i still recommend you watch it because it is um number one shot beautifully there are these slow motion shots of giant waves and things like that that are just like Tina and I like why doesn't apple use these for the um yes the uh the uh screen saver screens on the apple TV when you're watching the slow Yeah, those are nice and everything. I'm just, I'm tired of seeing Dubai every five seconds.

Right, exactly. That, you know, that flyover New York Times Square is, is enough. I've seen it enough now. Getting old. It is, it is absolutely gorgeously shot. And the interviews with these people really kind of put you in suspense until the reveal that you know is coming at the end. And it's just basically because you're noticing that the two main characters, neither of them are doing any interviews throughout the movie.

And so you're like, oh, my gosh, all right, well, tell me, tell me what's going on. And so there is a reveal at the end, and it's maybe not the one you're expecting. This is on Netflix. It is fascinating. And I'd say if you're, you know, if you even liked Free Solo a little bit, this is so much in the same vein. You're just, instead of climbing a mountain with no assistance, you're swimming down with one breath with no assistance. Wow.

And it was absolutely fascinating. Again, it's on Netflix. It's called The Deepest Breath. And we, you know, and I really, really enjoy it. You know what I like about the clip you played is it has the tone of a Netflix, or sorry, the tone of a documentary I like. I don't like the ones that are like, are there aliens in the thing? Like just the way they talk and stuff.

This is just like interviews, people who do it. Here's footage. It's beautiful. Like, that's so my jam. am people who have dived with these two and who have been saved their lives have been saved by uh stephen keenan and who's irish there's a little irish uh when you hear him talking nice just two amazing people with an amazing um with amazing um skill and talent to be able to do this yeah it's almost like reverse i don't know i don't know what they you already you said it right

free solo it's like the reverse free solo yeah there's like free solo in the mirror in the underground. It's like a multiverse thing. I love it. Awesome. Randy, I interrupted you. Sorry.

17 stories is like how far some of these people. Like if you're swimming the length of a 17 story building straight down. Would you ask? Yeah, I cut Randy off earlier. I didn't mean to do that. Randy, what were going to say? I just,

I really liked Free Solo for not the main character. Like the other stuff was what I loved so much about Free Solo. And it was, I don't know, there's something about the guy who that it's just a jerk like i don't like him so i oh yes the main guy in free solo he kind of is yeah well and so i'm not i'm not really rooting for him and i and i instantly become interested in everybody everybody else's take on what he's doing and so i'm just wondering like is this entirely about um oh gosh what's his name stephen keenan

no no it does focus on the two of them actually focuses more on italian free diver alessia zikini who's one of the preeminent women divers, free divers out there. And it focuses a lot on the sport, a lot on like what you have to do to be able to do it and what the competitions look like, how they measure records, like how they figure out how deep you've gone to break that record. And that stuff was just fascinating, the way that you do that and the tools that they use. And you'll be happy to know that nobody in this film is a jerk. Everybody that they interview, the two main people they focus on are like,

oh my God, these are the nicest people ever. Oh, good. No, no villains. Fake or otherwise. I don't like that in my documentary. No, no fake villains at all. That's great. Netflix is where you get it.

The longest breath is the name. The deepest breath is the actual name. That's right. By the way, while, while you were doing that, I was trying to find it with a record for the longest breath right now. And the current record is this 56-year-old Croatian guy in March 2020. He broke the record for the longest breath with 24 minutes, 37 seconds. 24 minutes? Yeah. Just to give you a comparison, that's longer than the average episode of the Simpsons. So he was down there for like a whole sitcom half hour. Oh my God. That's right. He could

watch taxi. And as long as he doesn't laugh, he'll be, he'll be. able to sit through the whole thing and not breathe it's unbelievable freaking 56 she is anyway all right nicole we're throwing it over to you let's uh i'm jealous of you because you watched the thing before i did and i swore i was going to see this the second it's dreamed and i haven't yet uh why don't you tell us a little bit about it before i play her clip what do you got and she's muted muted are you because there's uh because there's woodworking going on back there that's right Nicole is muted she's probably yelling mark now hello oh there you go we can hear you now Weird. I was unmuted. It just didn't register, I guess. That is weird. All right. Anyway, sorry, tell us all about this.

That's okay. So, my mom watched this first. And I was like, I don't know, it thought it was weird that she watched the movie. And so we watched it together. I will say, I've had to do a lot of research after watching the movie. It's kind of one of those movies where you go, what did I just watch? And what did it mean? And honestly, I feel like I need to watch it a second time. So if you like those kind of mentally involved movies, this is right up your alley. Awesome. Here we go. I strongly question whether your daughter's silly putty resembles anything from outer space. It's not silly putty. It's called Smoor's Toesium. This is excellent.

Thank you. It's really all the machine's doing. What the devil do you now about astrogeology anyway, JJ, whatever that stands for? I just maintain the working. Sally's thesis is supported by... Simsy outdated evidence. I beg your part. Not in my opinion.

silly putty or smorst toze him. In fact, I'm just quoted what he said. Your son's project might very well have killed us all today, by the way. Coming from the family that brought us the electromagnetic death rate. It's a weapon. Of course, it's lethal. So you admit it. Not to mention Brainiac's flag. I mean, is he trying to provoke World Warth Free or something. The jet propulsion belt is eminently safe. I allow an eight-year-old boy to operate. In fact, I did. Rickie's cousin Chip, and he broke the solo flight altitude record.

Okay. Real quick before you say anything. You got, you missed the end because they get to the end. This is a group of parents talking about their kids. And they finally go, they're really weird, aren't they? Yeah, and they're right. Let me ask you this question real quick. Is it me or does Leav Schreiber sound like angry Tom Hanks, who is in this movie also? Oh, funny.

I'm hearing Frank Langella is who I was hearing. That's good. That's totally I can hear that too now that you say it. Yeah, that's totally who I was hearing. Wow. All right. Tell us what it is and how do you like it? This is Asteroid City by Wes Anderson.

And it's streaming on Peacock. So you heard Like I said the parents So I didn't really know anything going into the movie I just know I enjoy a Wes Anderson movie Right I feel like this is Different than anything he's done before

And you are going to get a lot of polarizing I loved it I hate it Kind of feedback on it I don't know where I like I'm like in the middle I feel like if I watch it again I might love it a little more

the characters over time won me over and I mean it's that quick bantery conversation that nobody talks like that no one talks like that but I love that about those movies that they're smart

Jason Shortsman is in it and I almost didn't recognize him Margo Robbie is in it as well a very small little cameo. You said Tom Hanks. My favorite girl from, what was that Netflix show that she was in? Sophia Lillis.

She was, we talked about it. You're not talking about Hope Davis. She's in it too. Hope Davis, not Hope Davis. No, no. Sophia Lillis. She did, the actress is Sophia Lillis. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She did, oh, shoot, what was the show? It was on, it's a Netflix show. Yeah, no, no. one we love. Yeah, and they cancel it too early. She's also in the It movies. Oh, yes, I am not okay with this. I'm not okay with this. She's awesome. And she's also in the, she's a druid

in Dungeoned dragons. Yeah, she becomes an owl bear for a while. She's great in that. Yeah. So anyway. We love her. She should do more shit. That girl's great. Yeah. So many people in this, Scarlet Johansson, Maya Hawk. Oh, Adrian Brody, Edward Norton, Brian Cranston.

No, Bill Murray. No, Bill Murray. She actually is. Oh, right. They added it later, though. So there's a whole story behind this, right? He was busy with, everyone thinks it's because of the controversy around the other thing, and it's not. He was busy with some other project, and it was the first time where they just couldn't get the schedules to work.

But I don't know the story behind how he's finally in there. So I guess you'll have to tell us, unless it's a big spoiler we're not supposed to know. It's not in the movie. You have to go on YouTube to find it. He does like a whole narration intro to it. the set the set is amazing so um so he's yes and no in it kind of so was that part of your deep dive when you were done you were like i got to go see everything i can read on this and you found that i did i did i just i wanted to understand it because it is a very meta movie it is a

movie a play inside of a movie making commentary on the process of creating and loss. And that makes sense. Okay. So it's just a very, because you're going to go in between. So Brian Cranston, again,

kind of hard to recognize that it's him. He plays your, he plays the narrator and he brings you into the movie. And he's explaining about the play that they're about ready to do. and you get the background of how the play is created Edward Norton is the playwright and you kind of get his back so like there's like three levels of story in the movie

but it's so well done and it's so weird and different and like I said if you like those kinds of movies where you kind of just kind of peel back those layers it's a very smart movie so I'm going to watch it again because I enjoyed it. I have no, I've watched, I'll watch, I'll watch, I'll watch his movies over and over all the time, so that doesn't surprise me. I mean, if you, I feel like if you hate his movies, then why, then you're never going to want to even see these.

Like, it feels like it's a very easy demarcation to say, I'm either a Wes Anderson fan or I'm not. I don't feel like there's a lot of middle ground. It's just, I mean, it just, I'll make the case for the above middle ground, which is, For me, when I watch a Wes Anderson movie, I'm like, okay, I don't need to see that again for 10 years. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, there's a, it's intense to watch. Like, it's not necessarily intense. You don't have intense feelings necessarily.

But it's just like, you know, it takes a lot out of me to watch one of these. And, and Wes Anderson is known for his claymation stop motion with the fantastic Mr. Fox. And there's a little bit of that in this, too. Oh, good. Fun. I'm not going to, I'm not going to go. to how um if you've seen it you know what i'm talking about uh it's it's a very very funny scene

okay now brian brian will understand well i'm about to ask why i'm asking it but was there ever a moment where brian cranston and hope davis were in the same room because if there was was there any if there wasn't then it makes sense but if they was okay hope davis is one of the parents in that clip so the clip i sent you is the movie portrayal of the play that's happening right right so she is one of the parents okay so Brian Cranston is in the play world right hope Davis is in the is in the movie world right so hard to explain so that's good because and Brian knows why they probably kill each other if they're in the same room that's right yeah there's no love loss between those two

and another referring to your honor yes we are so she's the most underrated villain of the last five years in TV she's insanely scary in that movie, or that show. Anyway. There's also a fun cameo with Jeff Goldblum. I will tell you what. So he's bringing back everybody he's ever worked with, it feels like.

This movie is like all these West Anderson movie alums like he was in. I feel like I've turned a lot of people off to this movie, but I just want you to know what you're in for. Because there's a reason why it has like a two out of five score. Oh, it does? I didn't know. It doesn't really.

Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. On what? No, if you Google Asteroid City, it says reviews, and it's two out of five stars. I mean, it's 75% of Rotten Tomatoes. Let's see, IMDB has it at 6.7 out of 10. These are all right. These are decent scores. They're not bad.

And you get questions that come, float to the top. What the heck is Asteroid City about? What's the point of Asteroid City? Like, Asteroid City ending explained. well it feels like they do that for every movie now even movies that that are very well explained no you definitely need one for this one i need it one because i was like what i it got to the ending i was like what the hell but brian's right about some of the internet it's like stewart little ending explained explained oh you know what i kind of want to see a

stewart little ending explained even though it was obvious i'll do one i'll make one just all right all right get that going that's a good poll though uh all right well that's It was funny. It was sad. It was weird. It was at times a little hard to watch. But I'm okay with that in a movie. And I actually, I think I enjoyed it.

I think I did. I'm almost certain I'm going to enjoy it. I just have to take the time and watch it. Yeah. Ian, I Am Sci-Fi in the chat room says, it reminds me that there was an excellent episode in season two of the after party where the mind movie, you know, because basically every episode in the. after party is somebody's perspective

telling how the same events happened. We finished the first season, by the way. Did you, did you start enjoying it more? Yes, we did. We did. Good. Okay. Season two, I feel is good. It's not as strong, but by God, my God, it's got such a great cast. Elizabeth Perkins is, eats up every freaking scene that she's in. I want, I just want an Elizabeth Perkins sitcom or something, some regular Elizabeth Perkins thing. She is underappreciated, I think. She really is.

But there's one entire episode starring the blonde girl from Penn 15 that is all Wes Anderson. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Well, now I may have to watch that show. That sounds great.

You may have to watch that show. I mean, I've been, I called it one of my best recommendals of 2021, 2022, whenever. Every time it comes up, you guys, I hear nothing but praise except for, you know, last week where you weren't sure about it.

Nicole wasn't sure about it at the beginning, but it won or over, finally. Yeah, finally. Sort of. I mean, it's, Life finds a way. It's something to watch that I don't hate. It's something to watch.

All right, all right. Push too far. Went too far. Oh, that's good. It's something to watch. What a rousy. One of the greatest things that Nicole ever watched. Go ahead, Randy.

Let's tell you your train. Again, that is, where is it? Peacock is where that show. Yeah. Best Red City is Peacock. Randy, let's fly over to you and play whatever you have here. Set us up, please. 17 years ago.

some folks started a series and sold it to sci-fi channel and instead of a pilot they made three episodes of the series which are awesome and I watched it at the time and I remember everybody I talked to about it everybody that I knew who watched it on the sci-fi channel in 2006 was like oh this is the best thing I've ever seen it's so interesting it's so entertaining I can't wait for more of this and of course it never happened there was never more So you have the three episode mini series now, and it just vanished into the ether. And so for years and years, every now and then you'd come across somebody who managed to have gotten it on DVD or something, and you could watch this thing. But it just sort of like, just languished. And it's been on Amazon Prime lately. So I'm very excited to tell you you can go watch this on Amazon Prime. It's a supernatural mystery, and you're about to hear Peter Krause as a detective who has come into possession of a very strange object talking to Kevin Pollock, who is a stranger to him who knows all about these supernatural goings on, and they are very awkward. I remember this now.

I loved this at the time. All right, here we go. Let's play it. You really don't know what I'm talking about? Holy crap. It's amateur hour. This guy's got the key. He doesn't even know what it is. How many optics are there? All right.

All right. There's a lot of them. About 100 at least. Nobody really knows for sure. A hundred. And do they all... They do weird stuff. Some are useful. Some aren't. some aren't used to know a guy who had the pencil you know what the pencil does makes pennies tapping on the table penny falls out that's it got meed 500 bucks a day tapping a damn pencil noon to night six months of that tapped his brains out then there's the umbrella makes people think they know you particularly helpful if you're shy last guy you had it moved to seattle to be less conspicuous that was kevin pollock talking yeah like it didn't sound like this is a typical like

New York, whatever the New York accent kind of thing. That threw me. I feel like if I watch this again, it will be brand new for me. It's been so long since I've seen it. Me too. And I just want to say no more. It's a mystery. It's complicated. There's a lot of wonderful things to find out

as you watch it. It is on Amazon Prime. And it looks like it's expiring at the end of this month. So you have the rest of September. Oh, good to know. Amazon Prime. Yeah, that's, I would like to re-see this. This blew my mind at the time. What I didn't know, I didn't know this is a sci-fi channel thing. I had no idea. They were making nothing but shit

back then. Yeah, it's just like where shows went to die, right? Like, they had such an awesome miniseries for Dune back then and just like it just was death knell. Oh, it's on sci-fi. Oh, well. Yeah. Yeah, 8.1 out of 10

on IMDB. I think it deserves that. Did you even say the name? Oh, no, we didn't. The Lost Room. shit out of luck.com. It's The Lost Room, correct? Yes. Yes. Yeah.

That's a good show. That's real good, you guys. It's three episodes. People are saying that I was Peter Jacobson talking to Peter Krause. Maybe that's why it didn't sound right to me. It didn't sound right to me either, but hey, whatever. Yeah. Now I look at Peter Jacobson.

I can hear that coming out of his mouth, but who knows? Yeah, you're right. You're right. Absolutely Peter Jacobson talking in that. Kevin Pollock plays a, a rich guy who is in has a problem and and he's being he's being investigated again details do not help you like you really got to watch this thing from beginning to end and enjoy all the mystery unraveling yeah love it yeah this was another one I saw years ago and have forgotten

about it so I think it would feel fairly new to me too watching it so I'm in anyone whatever so felt like this flash in the pan, but didn't any of these people go on to do other cool stuff? Like, oh, okay. Well, one of the creators directors. Parenthood and. Sure. The other guy, the creator,

or the writer creator did a bunch of directing work, but I don't know. Was this before or after six feet under? After, right? Oh, six would have been after, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Another show I've never seen.

Don't laugh at me. Really? Oh, gosh. I thought you and I have talked about that before. No. I've always wanted to see that. one. I know it's on people's lists of some of the greatest TV ever. I just have never

gotten around to it. Oh, for sure. Hopefully on Max forever and I can just catch it finally. Did you mention L. Fanning? El Fanning in this? The reason that I watched this just recently because we saw her sister in a movie for FOMSack and I was just thinking

I'll bet when she was a little girl El Fanning was even better. Maybe better. I'll bet she was. She was also just two years later. She was in that J.J. Abrams thing that um uh that was that call with the big alien it was basically like spilberg movie no um super super eight that's what it was super eight oh super eight okay yeah she was great in that but she was starting to age out of the little kid roles and i remember thinking man she's gonna be these fanning kids

what what's what's in the diet over at the fanning house my gosh they're so good anyway randy we'll probably eventually find out with the documentary about 20 years from now yeah we'll find out what what they were juicing those two with because they're so brilliant uh brandy this seems like a good time and uh your point is it holds up this does not uh it has aged well yeah yeah yeah it is it is quite uh two thousand's tv you know like there's there's some things about two thousand's television shows like they were all kind of being shot and edited in the same way yeah but uh it totally holds up great great story there was supposed to be a comic book that spun out of this and that wasn't able to ever get off the ground.

It would have been really, really interesting if it had. Might have answered some questions or expanded the universe or something. Yeah. Well, there you have it. It is a banner day. Go check out all of these titles. Again, we have the longest breath. No.

Largest breath? The deepest breath. Deepest breath. Meteor town, I mean asteroid city. Meteor town, Bill. Asteroid City on Peacock and the last room. The Lost Room on Prime, okay? Those are where you get them.

Of course, they'll be on quicktms.l.I probably. They're already there. Yep. That's fantastic. It's great having you two on. You guys have anything else going on that you want to mention? I know Nicole, you always got woodworking cool stuff. What's going on?

We do. If you are interested in learning woodworking, check out our guild, the woodwhisperergill.com. We have a new class coming up with a really famous woodworker named Christopher Shores. and he's teaching how to build a stick chair without any power tools. You don't even need power tools. A stick chair out of sticks? Yes. What does that mean?

I mean, wood is sticks. It wood is sticks. Sticks are wood. You're right. You're right. You know what? I don't know why I got hung up on the fact that it was sticks. It is still woodworking no matter what you do.

It's just called a stick chair. I don't know why. Yeah. Sticks is both wood and a band. Okay. Let's remember that. That's right. Have a great week.

When you get that chair, you'll say, domo arugato. Yeah, Mr. Stickato. Hey, Randy, this weekend we're doing the flash for some reason. Excited about that? The reason is Brian watched it. I don't want to watch it again.

So if we are, basically, if we are ever going to do the flash, we better do it now. I'm still in my head. Get it out of the system now. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it because I just need to have some closure on the,

on all of the blabber around it. Like, was it again. Yeah, there's a discourse. Okay. And I thought of a thing that I can't wait to talk about when we talked about the show on Saturday that just came to me a couple days ago and completely broke the movie for me. So we'll talk about that on Saturday morning. Is it a time-related thing?

It is. It is. That makes sense. Randy, have a fantastic week. We'll see you later. Okay. Okay. That completes today's show with one tiny exception.

Oh, hi. Sorry, hold on. There's a little boy here. Hi, but. There's another tiny exception. that just walked into the room. I'll come see you soon. You should go watch Bluey.

I'll come right up. You want to watch Bluey? Oh, right. He loves Bluey. He loves Bluey. He's pretty cute. I'll see you in a sec, okay, bud? Save me a seat.

All right. Brian, we've got to play this thing about parking. Let's play it. I'll read it. I read it. Yeah, you're right. It's not a call. This is a text, though, and it came from somebody on fire.

Just get the eye to read it. Please, that's all we need it. It wouldn't take much, actually, to have him read it. Hold on. Should we do this? Let's do it. You've got it, Andy. Yes, please. Yeah, it's not hard. Okay, here's that guy from FilmSack, who is not Scott Fletcher, whenever I don't have Scott Fletcher. Here you go.

Well, play it will. All right, here we go. I'm play it. Generating, it's generating. It's going. It's happening. It's taking forever. You spoke of parking this morning and parking at Red Rocks, a concert venue. I recently went to the two metallic. shows here in the Dallas area. They were at AT&T Stadium and

100,000 people attended. I have a handicapped placard because of my back, neuropathy in my feet, and bulging discs in my neck. We parked literally 20 feet from the doors and it was glorious. The people they get to direct traffic

apparently don't know how to count because there are always spots left open in primo parking areas. That's the entirety of it. I love it. Oh my God. You know what's hard with that though? The voice is so weird that it makes me forget what it's talking about. Yeah, it's true. Like, you forget to pay attention to the content, the content because you're so focused on, man on fire.

We're going to keep, hey, look, it's Scott Fletcher holding this hostage. When he doesn't send me a thing, I don't have a choice. It's what we're doing. That AI's name is Scott Foll Letcher. Yeah, there you have it. Fow Letcher, spelled like the French way. Fo F-A-U-X-Letcher. But I love this idea of being able to.

to see 100,000 people in attendance venue of any kind. Yeah, and you just park 20 feet from the doors. Can you imagine that? Yeah, but I wonder if you'd want to leave early so you're not at the end of the mess, you know? Right, because you're going to be waiting behind everybody else, 100,000 people in other cars. That sounds awful. That I don't want to deal with. But anyway, you guys got lucky.

Congratulations. And two Metallica shows, geez. You must be a fan. I saw people, I took people around this weekend who, attended four fish shows and hey power to you if you can do that I don't even think you know one of my favorite bands is squeeze and I don't think I could see squeeze two nights back to back

because I feel like you know that maybe that's the difference fish changes their set list every single night so it's always a surprise squeeze would probably have the same set list so that is probably the big difference if I knew that they were doing two different set lists I probably would go see them on two consecutive But is that them watching fish shows in Denver two nights in a row? Or is that them traveling with the band? Fish was here for the whole labor weekend, Friday through Sunday, doing shows every night.

Wow. Wow. Dr. Calhoun, you know, you're not running. This is how long did it take you to get the pot smell out of the car after that? I drove one guy who I'm pretty sure was on acid. I think I, when did I talk about it? I must have talked about them on something because I remember talking about, oh man cowabunga dude it's uh yeah we're going to fish i think i talked about it on uh saturday morning

with film sec maybe oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i think you did yeah sounds like something we talked about somebody somebody drops some acid before uh before i picked him up well this is what those people who like fish say i love fish they love fish there there's one of the fans that i drove right there yeah even better version right here i love fish there that's It is a better version. It is. Thank you for the rando text. We didn't get a name, but I still love getting these 801-471-0-462.

Ducey wrote in, our buddy Ducey, who puts weird paper tabs in our mouths and tells us if we have super taste. Hey, stronger and better. I just got back from Epic, experience a camp for cancer survivors, and many of them celebrated their cancerversaries in fun ways.

So I figured I'd join suit and ask for a daft punk cover by Pumplemuse. This spring, I celebrated eight years, awesome, and I no longer have to go get scanned. If any other tadpole cancer survivors are out there, I highly recommend checking out all the free cancer camps that are out there, and I'll give anyone a list of a bunch to check out. Just ask me on Discord. Is it too early for a hong? Ah!

Oh my gosh. No? How about this? Nope, that's windy. Hold on. Is it this one? Where's the real one? See, the problem is that new one got in my way, and now I've lost the real, the other one. Let's see. Is this it? That's Tom.

Let me know how all that works, because if you type honk, does it not just only show you? Well, the problem is I have so many with the name honk. Oh, really? I have a volume problem. So here's, in fact, you know what? Here's a quick look at all the honks. All right, that's honk number one Hawk number two There's another honk

Another honk Another honk Oh, there he is He's number five Number five hung You did not just honk at me There's another one There's a few

I got a lot of honks Brian That's all I'm saying That sounded like the same honk in the Oh yeah let's check those Let's see So it's a little bit different A little bit of a Same car though

Yeah same car audio clips, but the exact same automobile. I put money on that that was the same like Ford something. Right. Right, exactly the same model. Anyway. Oh, Ducey's here live. Awesome. Oh, hey. Steve Ducey. I didn't know about his. Congratulations on your cancerversory. I didn't know about that

about him having cancer at some point. I didn't think I knew either. Did you talk with Tina about that? Because she, if you did, she never mentioned it to me. Yeah, but that's awesome. That's great, dude. I'm super happy for it. Congratulations. So. Yeah. Yeah, no, I loved this album. Pomplamoos put out an album called Daft Pump back in 2022.

And every single song on there is brilliant. This is my favorite of the batch because it just goes so well with Natalie Donne's voice. It's called Instant Crush. Here is Pomplamoose. be the one to forget I thought of everything I'd never regret A little time with you
