Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday, August, sorry, October 9th. It's a couple months back. Wow. Yeah, got that screwed up. The 9th of October, 2023. I'm Scott, and that's Brian.

Hi, Brian. Hello, Scott. How are you? Oh, you know, just in the thick of the, The Halloween anticipation. We got a funeral this week, so that's all going on. Things are fine, though. Carter went to Korea today, Japan and Korea.

I think she goes to Korea. No, Japan first. And they're there for a few days, and then Korea for the rest of it. She was going to have such a great time. All in Tokyo, or is she going around? I think just Tokyo this time. Last time she went, she was kind of all over the place. And it was only Japan.

Oh, that's right. I forgot this is her second trip to. Yeah. So this is going to be a little bit of Japan, a lot more Korea. And this will be her first time in Korea. And of course, you know, we have a lot of family history there with my siblings and everything. And so that'll be a fun thing. She's going with cousins who are descended directly from my sister Misha and my brother Matt, full Korean adoptions. Those two. That's great. Yeah. So just one generation, you know, separated. So they know some language. They can get around in places that, you know, might be tricky for just the white kids. to go. So yeah, she's going to have a good time. But she was a little sad because she'll miss the funeral. But the way of the timing worked, there was just no way around it. So she had to go when she went. But anyway, all as well, I think, here. We had a very busy weekend. There was a lot going on. But I would like to know how Brian Ibbett built. I'm sorry, not built, repaired his own vehicle like you were some kind of lord of your manner.

I'm kind of real man, as if I was some sort of. sort of real man. Yeah, I had break work done earlier this year, had brake pads replaced and ever since then and it's been since, March, April, maybe.

Ever since then, they've continued to squeak and there was like a you know, everybody had suggestions like, oh no, it's squeaking, yeah, it'll go away after a month or what you need to do is go about 30 miles an hour and then really jam

your brakes to like get things seated well and da-da-da-da-da. Like basically everybody had their advice on how you fix your brakes. And, uh, that just wasn't doing anything. And I was noticing in the last couple of weeks, noticing like some specks of black dust collecting on the, the, the, uh, bevels of my wheel. Yeah. On that side. Just on that one side. Like, all right. Yeah, we're, you know, we're replacing these things. And so I'm, I'm, not didn't decide not to take it back to the place that did before obviously um decided to do it myself and i've replaced brake pads before so that's no big deal this is the first time i've ever done rotors right and um he got everything got everything ordered uh had it delivered because i

there was this dumb coupon that required delivery even though the store is two blocks away and i could have gone and picked it up but i saved 40 bucks by making them ship it to me yeah it's so dumb but uh so i i i i feel like i would have i would have done that so don't feel dumb yeah well absolutely 40 bucks is 40 bucks listen that's uh that's no small bit of bed of change you can buy things for 40 bucks exactly i can go have a nice uh fun dinner after doing the breaks which is exactly what we did oh lovely that sounds nice so uh cleared out the garage uh got out the borrow the neighbor's hydraulic jack and a couple other tools he has that just makes the thing a lot easier. We've got a little crank

jack, but I want a hydraulic. I want my own hydraulic jack. That thing is so handy. I want one too. Lifted it up, pull the wheel off, and then got to, took off the brake parts, the calipers, and the thing that holds everything together, the frame. And then got to the rotor. And there are two set screws. So the rotor is primarily

held in place, really, technically, by the wheel by the wheel and the lug nuts but if you just have your your wheel and your lug nuts holding your rotor in place

because it's basically it's on those five big bolts that you have to put the lug nuts on when you put your wheel on if you don't have these set screws in you're probably going to be okay but also you can get some vibration

and that'll cause some real problems if that heats up and vibrates and It's bad. Right. So I had to take these two set screws out. They are so, they were so tight, Scott. Like basically using a ratchet screwdriver was starting to strip it a little bit. I'm like, oh, no, no.

Can't go any further. And so I told Dave next door he's like, oh, no, you don't, you know, you just basically need a different ratchet screwdriver. I'll be right over. so he comes over with his tools he goes and it's like it's stripping even more like oh crap no stop don't do any more don't do anymore because i told him i actually called when i first called him i said yeah i'm having a hard time getting these things off i need to go get an impact driver right and basically it's this tool and i wish i would have brought it down but it's this tool that looks like it's about the size of a cordless screwdriver a little bit smaller and it um it has a

a spring-loaded mechanism inside such that when you whack the back with a hammer, whack the back metal plate with a hammer, it slowly jerk rotates the whatever bit you have in there. And it's got to be a bit that's rated for impact. You can't just pull one out of your Milwaukee drill set, put it in there because you'll probably chip something or break something. So I was like, I'm just going to go buy one of those. and next door neighbor Dave is like,

oh, no, no, no, I can help you with this. And then he started stripping. And I said, no, no more, no more. I'm going to go get a... Dave. Dave, slow your roll, Dave. If I strip that thing, it's, it's, I'm screwed. That, that, uh, that's going to take me towing it to a place and having them get that

drill that screw out, auger that screw out or something. Yeah, no one's doing that for free. Exactly. Yeah, one sleepy panda says, one time I stripped them so bad, I just took an angle grinder to it, grind the screwhead down, popped the rotor off, and used a vice grip to get the rest out. Yeah, I don't want to do any of that. I don't have an angle grinder.

I don't want to go that route. So I went and drove, did a couple calls around town, found a hardware store that had the impact driver that I needed. 20 bucks, worth it. Best 20 bucks I've spent. And basically

tink, like seriously, hit with the hammer like twice. Tink, tink, even with the stripping that was already in that screw. Tink, tink, a couple hits and that thing came right out. Wow. Wow. Super cool. Look at you. So use that on both wheels. And aside from that one hour driving out

to go get parts, the whole process maybe took two and a half hours. It's not bad. It's not bad. Although, you can't see this at home. Brian is sitting today because, you know, this stuff's hard on your moosecles. You know? Yes, I really stretched. You know, I mean, I probably should have done more stretching, but

really cranked my back and I was hunched over working on these things. I mean, that's two and a half hours of being hunched over, pulling wrenches and directions that aren't easy. It's not like pulling wrenches towards you. That's easy. Pushing away from you, real easy. But it's the left and right.

And then underneath the car, and you're like trying to get these really tight bolts holding the back of the brake frame on there. Oh, pain in the butt. There's hardly anyone I know who's a mechanic. I know a few mechanics. All of them have some weird shoulder or back thing. Really? Oh, geez.

Every one of them. Like, if they're the type of mechanic that has to get up underneath there and do some dark shit, they have back, they have back issues. It's just the way it is. So, got everything put back together, got in the car. And decided, all right, let's go ahead and, you know, get to drive around the neighborhood and just test, make sure I did a good job. And we've got a sloping driveway.

Our garage is up high and it kind of slopes down. a slight grade to the street. And so I'm going forward and, you know, got to slow the car down. So I hit the brakes, nothing happens. Hit the brakes, nothing happens. I'm like, crap, grab the emergency brake. Yoink! It's like, oh, yeah.

Because I press the, compress the caliper down, I got to do a little brake pumping to get fluid back in the lines and push the caliper back out. So, whoops. Oh, right. I forget how that. those work you're right you they're they're empty they're essentially uh-huh yeah there's no fluid is out and there's no there's nothing pushing the caliper out dang so uh that's wild

everyone go to brian's house he's the new jiffyloop jeff h says did you torque the lug nuts down when you put the wheel back on if not stop by a shop and ask them to check them for you no that's not a bad idea what do you talk what do you torque some i know what torque is but what is it how do you torque them torque the lug nuts down i don't know Must be just like, I used my, I have a, oh, I love this thing, it's a four, it's a, a tire iron that is basically four plus shaped, for lack of a better description. And I like that so much better than just the leg wrench that is just a hook, like a little L shape. Yeah. Because I can go, yeah, I agree.

You can grab it like a pirate. it man you can steer that ship the thing too is you don't wrench measures the amount of force used okay well the good the good news is i'm going to uh discount tire today to have them uh address a slow leak that i have in that very same tire that has the that had the squeak so uh i'll just ask them hey do you mind um torquing my lug nuts yeah i'm torquing my nuts well uh well you've got the car up on the on the blocks yeah if they smile you have to report back if they giggle at that you know yeah or they will. If they hear that and go, oh, hey there, Mr. Slow Your Roll.

Hey, buddy. Well, that's fun. Digital torque wrench. All right, maybe there's another tool I might need. Yeah, those make sense, right? These are like, it's just like getting your gauge, your tire gauge, I guess. It just tells you how tight it is or how much torque there is. Exactly.

It just gives you an idea. Yeah. All right. I'm looking. That might be my next purchase is a digital torque wrench. All right. DT.R. W.

DT.W. Down to a wrench. wrench yeah uh that's great you know what else i did this weekend scott what you do um took a tina on a surprise on a mystery date got to love the mystery dates um this one was to a thing an annual festival that i'd never heard of before this year called cider days so this is uh a celebration in lakewood of everything apple and uh except for watches and iPods and phones and stuff But they've got, so they've got apple picking. They've got little places where if you bring your apples or you buy a bag of apples,

you can go and press your own cider. Oh, that sounds fun. You basically, for 20 bucks, so you bring your own apples, bring your own jug, and then for 20 bucks, you can press your own cider. That sounds like fun. It'd be great. Make your own deal. It was great.

I didn't do. We opted not to do that. I'm like, no, you know what? I'm just going to buy, they've got jugs of fresh press cider. So I'm just going to go buy one. Sure. But we, they had a little hay bale maze that was actually taller than I expected. When I first, when the brochure came out or when the website, it was like a single level of hay bale.

So basically you're just, you could basically step over the hay bales to get through the maze if you get stuck. But this one, the one they actually had set up was like three or four high. So you could see over it. You could see the top and kind of get an idea where you needed to go. but it wasn't so high so low that you could just climb right over it yeah the low ones are ridiculous I guess those are just for kids or whatever I like one with a little challenge I don't like him at all actually but if I'm going to be in one I would like to have it be not just a little bit of a challenge I like you know I'm a fan of corn mazes I feel like that adds just enough creepiness uh to the whole maze uh experience and they they make some pretty intricate crazy mazes uh you know this time of year for for people

sure um they also had hard cider had to have some cherry glider cider we watched a pig uh a trick pig performance these two pigs that did a whole bunch of tricks just like dogs like like slam dunking balls and miniature basketball hoops and uh um opening and closing mailboxes and doing all the all the typical dog training stuff wow i didn't know pigs were capable i didn't either and then uh watched my first tractor pull, which I had never seen a tractor pull before, but that's just fascinating. Next year, Brian's getting year-long tickets to all the NASCAR events and monster truck rallies. Does NASCAR do a tractor pull? No, I don't know.

Oh, you're just saying, you're just saying I'm going full redneck. Yeah, you're going full redneck. That's basically what I was saying. I'm going to fully appreciate the earnest movies and. Yeah, all that saw, all the hillbilly movies and stuff, you're back-ended. Nope. Nope, not even a little bit. Wow.

No, but it was crazy watching these tractors, like, geared up to pull this big, heavy, this heavy vehicle backwards so that it could see how long before the wheels of the front wheels of the tractor start going straight up and this thing is, like, practically on its back. It's kind of crazy. I feel like I saw one of those years ago, but I don't remember the context. Like, where was I? Probably, like, probably a fair. Yeah, it would probably be a fair, yeah. Yeah, the town, or the Salt Lake County Fair is usually got tractors pulling shit. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sure. That's good. Tractors pulling shit. Come to the fair. That sounds a very, that's a very Halloweeny date, you know? It is. Nice and, nice and fall. We didn't wear flannel, but we could have.

Sure, you could have. We could have worn our flannels. Oh, yeah. I wore something very similar this. I just wore a Henley with a T-shirt underneath it. Yeah. Technically, so I found this shirt this weekend, it's got a little zipper on top, but this is technically a Henley, right?

Yeah, sure. Okay. It's more like a sportsy, well, it's a champion brand. It's a track, like a... Yeah, like a running thing. Yeah, University of Utah shirt there. Yeah, they only had... These were on sale.

There was only eight bucks for these. Great. And they had BYU or Utah. Of course I got the Utah one. Freaking F.W. I've never... You know, I don't know if I've ever asked you, like, you know, which local teams you root for or don't root for. Well, there's a massive...

Not a fan of BYU. Yeah, massive rivalry here. Like, it's huge. Neighbors will paint their whole yard red or blue, depending on who they're, they're, I mean, it's a big rivalry to, you know, in state colleges going after each other. And in their heydays for both teams, they both had moments, right? They've had some pretty big runs. But, yeah, I've just always been you of you fan. Plus Carter works there and graduated there, and it just kind of filled a little bit of pride.

Yeah, yeah, of course. The first time I ever drew a naked cadaver was up there. So, you know, I get some love in there. Unfortunately, unfortunately, in front of you was a bowl of fruit. Yeah, it was just a bowl of fruit, but I called it a naked cadaver. Scott decided to draw a naked cadaver. That's right. The teacher was like, oh, okay, maybe you're not, you shouldn't be here.

You should be on a list is what she said. Are you looking at the same banana and a couple apples and an orange that we are? Can you imagine that? That would be a weird thing for a teacher to have. speaking of which is a pretty decent transition here um i talked to my wife my wife has been uh kind of all so hyper involved with all the stuff going on with her her sister's passing and getting prep for everything and all this stuff that she just really needed this an escape and for the first time and i don't know how long it feels like months but probably more like weeks we had a night where it was

just me and her carter was off with some friends planning on the trip the next day or two days later and everybody was gone. It's just Kim and I Saturday night. She says, I want to see a horror movie. I want to just block my mind out and think about something else. Yeah, good. I'm like, all right, it's Halloween. Let's do this.

And I said, now, here's her list. And I gave her a list of potentials that didn't, she doesn't like slasher movies, so we avoided those. So I said, all right, what do you think about the dissent? What do you think about, you know, I'm naming off all these classics. Oh, God. Descent is, uh, it's pretty dark. The second Blu-ray I ever got. I was thinking I got it like at a severe discount or something,

but it was the second Blu-ray I ever got, and it still sits over there. Yeah, that movie, whew, that's a, that's a claustrophobic thing. Yes, it is. So that was on the table, though. We had a few other smiles, a recent one. We were going to do that again. But anyway, and I said, well, they are still streaming hereditary on Max.

We could watch that, and she knows I like that movie a lot. And I said, we could watch that, or Ari Aster's other one. He's got a new one. I haven't seen yet. but the midsummer, I said, that's possible. She goes, well, which one is a good one to start? I said, actually, Hereditary is kind of like the foundational, like what's this guy's style and how to he direct and write and all that.

But I said, but I'm warning you, it leaves you feeling pretty weird. That is a weird-ass movie. Yeah, you will feel uncomfortable after either of those really midsummer. Yeah, and that's the reason I like those movies is because they're different and they're not just, they don't rely on jump scares and they're just creepy and weird and they do new ideas and I just really like them and they actually genuinely get under my skin so I'm like well how about that she says fine I think I oversold how scary it would be because by the time we were done she was like that wasn't that bad and I said well no I mean it's not bad bad she goes no I mean you

made it seem like it was going to be the scariest thing I ever saw and I said no so what we'd learn we learn something. What scares me is the deeply psychological stuff. Sure. And stuff that just discordant things, things that just are like, oh, that person shouldn't be grinning right there. Or, you know, things like that bother me. In her case, it's just a guy in a hockey mask running through a barn with a knife. That's what she doesn't want. So I see that and just go, that's stupid, whatever. It's Jason. Who cares? It's no big deal. you just laugh at it. She hates that stuff. She hates the eminent threat.

Like the, yeah, the, how do you think she would do with Barbarian? We watched, so we watched Barbarian last year. Oh, you did. She watched it with you. Yeah, and she loved Barbarian. And I was surprised by that because Barbarian has elements of that in it. Yeah, yeah. But it was different because I don't want to give anything away about Barbarian, but the thing that the thing that you would have is the equivalent of chasing you down.

is also a bit of a victim itself, you know? Yeah, right. And I think that landed differently, which is part of the reason I love barbarians that subverts all the expectations. It's such a different movie. Totally does. But there are, I mean, there are shots of these long,

cruddy, scary-looking hallways where it seems to get darker, no matter how much light you got, it seems to get darker way more soon than it should. Off in the distance. Hell yeah. I thought that was going to bugger and it didn't at all. I think it's really just,

maybe it's stuff from when she was a kid like Friday the 13th Freddy, like those Freddie movies I think are ridiculous and dumb Yeah, oh yeah They're they're comedy with blood Yeah, kind of yeah She sees them as as actually terrifying

Really? That's interesting Yeah I feel like those The way they write those movies At least for a while the Freddy movies were Here's a list of the fun ways We can kill teenagers Now write a story around it Yeah we were talking on was it

film stack or something about and you start with the ending if you're writing a story in their case they just start with the grizzly kills start with a list of oh let's do one kid in a waterbed oh i know how about a kid dangled like he's a marionette yeah how about that's tendons yeah what can we do with the ceiling and walls and all this other crap like yeah they have a big snake in that one was that the fourth one the snake with freddie's head pretty's face actually i would argue that part of the reason those movies kind of peter out over time is because they run out of creative ways to kill each other. It's just like, all right, so you've done that one.

What else you got? Giant Snake, seen it before. Right, but then when you see the new nightmare, whatever the new one with Jackie Earl Haley is, it's like, oh, he just kills him? Okay. That's why this movie was not terribly memorable. I remember.

No, if anything, that movie, that movie, I think they thought it would be scarier if it was more grounded. Realistic, yeah. Yeah, I think that's a fail, though. I don't think that was the right. right way to go with that. But anyway, it was fun. We're going to watch some more. She wanted to, you know, long before her sister started to deteriorate, the goal, the goal was this month

was, this was Kim's month to like watch a bunch of horror movies because now she's got a taste for it. She likes the, she likes the adrenaline of it and all that. Sure. So if anyone out there has like a list of what you think your favorites are, and again, we're not looking for torture porn. We don't want freaking, I don't want, I don't want, I don't want saw movies. I don't want what's another torture porn movie a hostile don't care about any of that those are all very I don't like them and she wouldn't either

I'm not a fan of those either but psychological stuff you know I can tell you a show like a show she loved top to bottom was um was it the outsider on HBO the um the one with guy from secret invasion in it um Australian actor can't think he was name oh um based on the Stephen King book

uh shit yeah right the guy who played Talas the scroll Yeah I know you're talking about I love him and I can't think he was name He was in Star Wars he was in He's in everything Yeah yeah

Anyway that someone in the chattle set But that guy Or that movie Or that show She loved it She loved the outsider She's like is there gonna be a second season I'm like no I think it was just like

I think it was just the book And they're done I don't think they're doing more And she's like oh that's too bad So things like that we're interested in All right So if anyone has a ideas. I've seen most of this stuff, but if there's any

I haven't, you want to send them in, email them in. Just go to the website, frogpants.com slash TMS, and choose your method of communication and let me know. All right? Yeah. Yeah, do that. One quick correction. Not a correction. Just a little education. This is from Gwen at Phoenix Pearl Tea. Oh, yes. Always good to hear from her. Yeah.

On the factoids thing, we're talking about what factoids were. Yeah, yeah. A couple weeks ago or a week ago, whatever it was. And she says, yo, it's Gwen from Phoenix Pearl. Fun fact. Factoid means something unverified slash untrue presented as fact. So factoid isn't a portmanteau at all. The more you know. So she's saying that... I thought that... I thought it was just a small fact. That's what I thought it was. Exactly. Exactly what I thought too. It's like, oh, okay.

So it's just a, right. It's a, we don't have time for a full fact. We're just going to give you like this little bit of a fact. A taste of a fact. Yeah. Now, if that's a case, if it's actually the flip of that, meaning it's presented as true, but it's not true, why, I don't think anyone knows that. I think everybody uses it the way you and I use it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Factoid, people think factoid is just a small fact.

I think, oh, hey, I got a little factoid for you. Cheese is made from dairy. Oh, no way, really? Cool. Yeah. Nobody ever says, hey, I got a little factoid for you. Oh, what's that? Cheese is made from chicken brains.

Right. right exactly but apparently that's that's more accurate as to what a factoid is that uh going to gwen yeah i mean i haven't verified this but gwen we're going to take your word for it until someone tells us different we trust you yeah we sway like the wind here we'll do whatever we'll get whichever way you guys say to go yeah all right uh brian dunaway is out uh this week for stuff during his normal babble royale time and so we have a sit-in a stand-in really um He might be sitting, he might be standing, my guess. I'm going to bet that he's sitting.

He's probably sitting. And the good thing is we keep it in the FilmSack family. So let's do this. Ah, yes, that music signifies. Today is the half-asses. And we have with us Mr. Randy Jordan. Hello, Randy. Good morning, morning, stream.

In 2006, I got to see the dissent at an Alamo draft house special screening where we had to drive 90 minutes. out into the country to a place called Longhorn Caverns and the whole audience sat with their backs into the cave and a huge transportable screen was set up. Oh wow. But it was unbelievable. Like they made a big deal out of it. Like they gave everybody hard hats and you had to bring your own chairs and like go sit

in with your backs into this cave and there were so many people who left. Like in the first like 20 minutes of the movie, so many people just got up. and went to their cars and went home. It's a scary-ass movie. Like, one of the scariest I've ever seen. And then putting people in an actual cave to do a viewing of it, that's just insane to me. Oh, my gosh. No kidding.

They had to have people, like, sitting in the cave, like in black onesies, like, you know, moving rocks around every once in a while, knocking over. They actually let you know in advance. Like, before the movie started, there's a guy on mic, you know, a DJ getting people excited. It was like, I just want you to know. we are not going to there you know you there's not going to be anybody in that cave the cave is completely empty we're not going to do anything extra here you're just going to watch a movie all you're doing is watching a movie and of course it was still the most terrifying thing this is a great example of a sequel that's never holds up to the original oh there was a sequel to the descent it's

not great they tried they made a valiant attempt it didn't even come close to the to the descent great movie though man yeah there's also a good video game that it was completely unrelated to the movie, but it was basically like you were flying in a ship in like a grid of of rooms, and there was no up. Yeah, it was called dissent was the name of that.

Yeah. Well, you said the descent, didn't you? No, I didn't. I said, a great movie, but really good game. I know the movie is the descent and the game is dissent, but I never said the name of it. Just descent. Wait, you couldn't go up? I thought the whole thing was you could go 360 degrees in that thing, no? You could go

360 but there was no up like you there was no you didn't know which way was there was not a defined oh no I'm flying right side up you're just constantly left right down that's true that those were awesome games oh my gosh

love them I love the descent I'm sorry dissent the video game was one of those games that were used by developers later to study people getting motion sick oh really oh I believe it they learned all kinds of things about what you can do in terms of bobbing and what you can't do if you don't want people.

You can still get the original dissent, let's see. Yeah, Descent from 95, the original game for $10 on Steam, $99. Oh, wow. Totally worth playing. Probably Mac compatible because I remember playing it on my Mac. At least the version I had was Mac Impedel. I don't know if Steam's version is. Oh, yeah, it is.

It's Linux Mac and Windows. Anyway, dissent. I'll get in there. That would be a good 10 bucks, well spent. It's basically the video game version of the Cube. Or was it the Cube? What's the one with, or is it just, that might just be called Cube. I never saw Cube.

People going through the, uh, the grid of cubes. Never saw Cube. Was Cube good? Is that worth seeing? It's worth seeing for Film Sack. Okay. All right. I might, uh, I might, we might make that happen.

We don't have, I wish October was longer. I wish we had like two months of October. Oh, totally. Totally. Yeah. What was the, uh, um, what was the movie you watched on Netflix that was kind of like a, it was a platform that would lower

oh the platform was it just called the platform okay I think hold on yeah the platform it's a good name for it because that's really the most important thing I could remember but it was an allegory

of like the haves and the half and odds yeah I love that movie it's a Spanish film I listened to it in English though and it was fine had a good dub but I still that's when I think about all the time that's fantastic Because it's equal parts It feels a lot like that

Like this science fiction conceit where you're just like Oh, I'm in a It's just a big It's just a big Connected set of shipping containers Basically Well now you make me want to play dissent That's fantastic

There we go good Let's play this game instead Hey Brian explain to Randy and I How this works and how we're going to win things and all that Welcome to the morning Huff Houses a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving you guys the answers I'm going to give Scott and Randy a category and six possible answers.

Three of those answers are correct, and three of them, like somebody's saying, the foo fighters, are incorrect because that the is wrong. Depending on how confident you feel with the category, you can provide one, two, or three guesses. But if you get any guesses wrong, you get zero points for that round. Get one right, gets you a point. Two right gets you three points, and three right gets you five points. The player with the most points after three rounds wins the prize for their contestant, and I've pulled a couple of contestants

that you guys are going to be playing for folks that aren't able to be here live. Scott, you're playing for Andy Resch in Spencerport, New York. Wow, Andy Resh. Hello, you're my friend. Randy, it's too bad I didn't have Randy playing for Andy, but Randy, you're playing for David Linovitz

in Phoenix, Arizona. It's a dry here, like a furnace. Yeah, it's like a dry furnace. Oh, my gosh. All right, these seem like two nice individuals I'm happy to play for. That's great. Yes, I think no matter who,

wins. Everybody will come out a winner on this one. All right, let's get to question number one. You guys, you remember, you remember money? You remember how we used to all have these, these pieces of paper and pieces of metal that we would keep and we would pay for goods and services with those things? Back in the 1900s. Yeah. That's right. Exactly. Well, for a while, we had presidential quarters, and then they switched more recently to landmark quarters. I want you to tell me who, why isn't it showing, there we go,

show me or tell me, show me, which mountains you can find on U.S. state quarters. So any state quarters, whether it's the, I know, I guess the presidential ones will be presidential quarters, not state quarters. So it's, yeah, state quarters. Your choices are, Mount Rainier,

Mount Washington, Half Dome, Pikes Peak, Mount Rushmore, and the Grand Teton. Days. Grief. This is going to be hard. This is hard than I thought. I thought it would be obvious ones, but, like, one of these looks like it should be obvious, but I don't think I've seen this. Oh, I'm going to be guesswork.

I'm doing two today. Wow. Okay. I'll do, oops, I don't want that one. I'm going to do, I'm doing these two. Okay. All right. Scott and Randy, have both locked in.

You both locked in on Mount Rainier, and yeah, that is 100% on the Seattle or the Washington State Quarter. um half dome also correct uh you guys you should have kept mount rushmore scott damn switched over to mount washington because mount washington is not there we go not on a state quarter crap randy ahead randy coming in with three points already so these were these were some really good guesses like on the on the losers here like yeah every one of those i'm i'm shocked You could make a case for Pike's Peak. You could make a case for Grand Teton, Mount Washington, for sure.

Yeah, I wasn't willing to lock in on Rushmore because it just feels like it's overused, like it's on everything. That's why I didn't, that's why I should shied away from it. It did feel like a trap, didn't it? Yeah. Well. That's all right. We got question number two. Let's go to sports, a little NBA.

Scott might have a slight advantage on this a little bit. NBA franchises that never relocated. So franchises that have stayed in the same city in which they started. Detroit Pistons, Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz, Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks, and Chicago Bulls. Three of those have never moved. Three of them relocated. So these are ones that have, we want to choose the ones that have never moved, right? Never locate, relocated.

NBA franchises that never relocated. All right. I have another hard one here. Who, okay. I'm going to say that was an expansion team, so maybe. Oh, boy. I'm going with these. Okay, Scott's locked in.

Randy yet to give an answer. What's happening? I'm clicking. It disappears. Oh, I see. All right. Okay, locked in. You guys all locked in on different ones.

Both of you, smart enough not to click on the Utah Jazz, which, of course, is New Orleans. the New Orleans jazz that moved to Utah. Minnesota Timberwolves, yeah, they've stayed put. Chicago Bulls have stayed put. Dallas Mavericks have stayed put. Those are your three anchors. Unfortunately, Detroit Pistons came from Fort Wayne, Indiana,

and the Memphis Grizzlies started in Vancouver. Were they called the Fort Wayne Pistons at the time? They were called the Fort Wayne Pistons, yeah. That's crazy. That is hard to believe. I felt like that was the most certain ever the answer. Detroit felt like a lot, right? Yeah, it's like Detroit.

Yeah, well, that blows my mind that they had pistons. I don't even know what to make of that. Wow. Because Detroit and the cars and the pistons and stuff, right? That's the idea. Usually on a question like this, you just want to go east to west. The further east something is, the more likely that it's been there all along. Right, yeah, yeah.

Timberwolves felt like, or not Timberwolves, but Grizzlies felt like, I felt like that one should have been, obviously. You're not going to find a lot of grizzlies in Memphis, but you think that maybe they come from somewhere more. Where did they start from? They start in Vancouver. Vancouver Grizzlies. That makes sense. There's Grizzlies up there. Yeah.

I mean, they've got to have Memphis or Grizzlies somewhere near Memphis, I'm sure. All right. Well, let's get to this last one. All right. Ready going into this last one with three points, Scott, and you need to put some points on the board. Your final question is, car nameplates that lasted more than 55 years. So these cars, specifically the names of these cars, whether or not the body shapes have changed, et cetera, et cetera, that have lasted more than 55 years. Your choices are the Porsche 9-11, the Ford Mustang, the AMC ambassador, the Honda Civic, the Chevy Suburban, and the Lincoln Town car.

All right. Give me a, give me a how long ago was 55 years? 68. Is that right? No, 608, 68, that's correct. Okay. Which of those were created after October 9th? I guess, or they could have been created before, actually, and lasted 55 years.

I'm going, I'm going for all three here. Oh, my gosh. You're going all out. This is terrifying. I'm terrified. Damn it. All right. I'm choosing.

Shit. I'm going all three. I'm laughing and crying at the same time. I don't know what to do. It's a hard one. All right. Oh, look at that. All right.

you guys both locked in on the Honda Civic. The Honda Civic went from 1972. Damn it! Start in 1972 and is still going strong. However, that's just 50 years, 51 years, unfortunately. The correct ones, Randy, got two of the three. Portia 9-11 and Ford Mustang. Portia 9-11 started in 1963, so it's celebrating its 58th year.

No, I'm sorry, it's 60th. In my head, that's an 80s car, and I don't know why. It just is in my head. I mean, you could get a 9-11 then, but the name just sounds like 80s. The Ford Mustang, 1965 to present. Chevy Suburban, 1935 to present. Lincoln Town car went from 81 to 2011.

The AMC Ambassador, the shortest one on the list, from 1958 to 1974. What's that? Just like 16 years. I don't even I couldn't even tell you what an AMC ambassador looked like honestly I'm looking right now oh wow boring boring as hell that thing since this is the AMC made boring cars more than this is the car talk episode I just want to I just want to admit to having survived trying to replace my own suspension on a car don't ever do that you should never

ever ever replace your own suspension wow it will kill you you will you will you will die in your garage at home when you fail to properly compress a spring. I don't feel like I would be able to do that at all. No, brakes and rotors, that is absolutely the extent of the kind of car replacement maintenance I'm going to do. I will say early ambassadors, AMC ambassadors kind of had a cool vibe, but the stuff they did in the late 60s and 70s, just the ugliest most boring car ever. Really? Yeah.

Some of the coops and stuff for all. Travis says suburban. I call foul there. What do you call them foul on TV's Travis? Suburban. It's been around forever, long time. 1935, yeah. Yeah, I wish I'd guessed it.

It's a remarkable vehicle in that it's kind of the same shape as it's always been. Nothing else, nothing. Well, on this list, the Porsche 9-11 is pretty similar. But like, these marks love to change their car shapes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's so weird to me. Like, when you see one of these Mustang electric versions now and it looks nothing,

It doesn't even look like a Ford. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Suburban's the only one I even thought was correct on here. It was the only one I was 100% about because I know my grandma had one. Well done, Scott. Yeah. You know, I'll take it as a small loss victory. That's what I'll do.

Speaking of which, so who won what here? So Scott, Andy Resch, well, actually, Randy, you won. So David Linovitz in Phoenix, Arizona, you're getting a copy of, seems probably appropriate, Monaco. I hope that's a racing game. and backbone on steam. No, Monaco is a, it's a top-down, rogue-like, a little escape simulator thing, yeah.

It's nothing like a car thing. Oh, what simulator? It's like a little, not escape, but like a little, it's like stealth game. It's a stealth game. Yeah, stealth game, a little two-d stealth game. Okay, all right. Well, you're getting those David Linovitz,

but Andy Rash, you're also going to be getting into the pit, which kind of sounds like descent. It does. Yeah, enjoy the pit. So for me, for Randy, and for our winners. Congratulations. You're a winner. Everybody wins.

Randy, that was fun. You'll be back here Wednesday doing the same because Dunaway's got stuff. You've got meetings all week or something. I'll be back. Yeah, you'll be back. And then that day we'll have an actual contestant on the air, which will be super weird. Let's see what we can do on Wednesday. Randy, have a fantastic couple of days.

We'll see you then. See, ready. Click. Yep. Cut them off right. As I meant to, take that, buddy. All right, we've got to do some quick news, and we'll do that now. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by.

Finally getting an air fryer. Yeah, we got an air fryer. Nice. They're on sale of Costco. We basically got an air convection of it, basically. Essentially, yeah. It's one of the tabletop ones. Is it the Cuisinart?

Yes, Cuisinart brand. We had a choice. That or the Ninja one that everyone seems to think is. good oh no i the the i say the quezon art is the better one to get yeah we went we went quezon art and um very happy with it we for that for our horror movie night we we did uh homemade nuggets uh nice we did some uh what else we do in there and by we uh kim cooked them right yeah i did load up the tray but she did the she did the whole let's check all the little buttons make sure everything's cool part but um and i'm still trying to figure it out i burnt some toast on it

yesterday i'm still not entirely good at it oh yeah Oh, we love it for, I mean, just, even toast, we're really happy with like, oh, okay, a three setting with one to two slices and gets a nice, perfect light brown color on our toast. I did this thing where I had it on the bottom shelf. Oh, yeah. And it burned the bottom, and the top was like hardly any toasting at all. So it's like, okay, I got to equal that out, put it in the center somewhere. But I'm looking forward to using it more. I like it.

Oh, for sure. Yeah, the thing is great with frozen food. and also like reheating things that you don't want to burn just do a little quick air fry on it. What's a good example of that? I wouldn't do it with pizza. Oh really? I've heard that's good.

Lefter of pizza. Lefter of pizza and the toast oven is the way to go though. I mean, but I don't know about it. Well, yeah, you could do air. Yeah, you know what? You could do air fry on that. It's really, like I said, it's just an air convection. I do, I just do regular toast oven settings for reheating pizza. That's good to know. I'm going to use it today for something. Nobody's here today, so I think I'm going to be making whatever I'm making.

I'm going to figure out something good. I don't know why. Oh, for sure. Yeah, chips, great. Potato, like potato wedges, great. Reheating French fries, like, when you go someplace and they give you way more French fries than you want, just bring them home, throw them in the air fry, and they're even better. They're better than when you got them.

And you cook them and, like it and crispy on the outside, chewing on the inside. I want that. That sounds good. Mm-hmm. It's ideal. I'm trying to cut down on fries, but I'll make an exception. Well, sure. I'll make an exception.

I'll eat some reheated fries. For this, for science, I'll make an exception. Yeah, why not? All right, we have a story about a 13 foot. Here in America, we still do feet, everyone. Yeah, sorry. 13 foot long python. It's a big old snake.

Survived five months eating nothing but cats in a trailer park. Yep. Jeez. Eating everybody's cats. An expert hired to get rid of a big snake slurring around the South Oklahoma a city mobile park found a python that was 13 feet long and had been in the neighborhood for around five months here's it here's the quote we're talking that thing has been eating a possums foot long rats and cats said Trevor bounds foot long rats yeah you have you get a deal on them

at the at the subway if you go in the subway sure yes it's a five dollar foot long rat yeah yum yum uh this is Trevor bounds of red beard wildlife control the mouth of that thing is the of your foot and when it opens up you're going to be able to fit something pretty large in there staff of the mobile park said sorry I had told residents to be on the lookout throughout the week according to

next stars K-F-O-R I picture by the way that guy definitely a blonde mullet and a jean jacket yeah carrying a net yeah basically he's the kind of guy you want to come get rid of that B problem you got that's right exactly see the alert

sent out said they would be taking care of soon. Experts say more than likely the snake was a pet that either got loose or the owner let it out on purpose. The constricting is what can be dangerous, says bounds. You can't have small children or pets going near this thing. That's why this should have been tackled a whole lot sooner. Things could have been much worse, unquote. Well, thank you. I was wrong. He has, he's a, he's a ginger he's basically i thought the town was red beard but uh no red beard's animal control is the oh it's because he's a ginger guy he's a he's a ginger guy with a literally a red beard like i thought oh red beard wildlife control like we live in a town called red beard yeah you know and he's the

the wildlife control yeah nope he's uh red beard's wildlife control and there he is holding a skunk in the photo i just put in our discord funny enough i feel like i know more if i know a lot of redheads than I don't. But when I do know them, I feel like their names are more often Trevor than any other name. Huh. That may sound a little odd

or limited data, and it is, but I swear all of the Trevers I know have red hair. Can't explain it. I don't know too many Trevers who don't. Oh, yeah, look at this guy. He's like, hey.

The actual guy. By the way, that looks like it's absolutely his Twitter profile. Oh, yeah. He just reposts horrible racism. this stuff on Twitter with that profile pick. This is the profile pick you don't want. I don't know why people still do it.

You don't want it. Quit doing it. I'm curious as to, it looks like he's got the Star Wars scroll taped to his sun visor. Trying to figure that business out. Oh yeah. What's that? Hold on. It's a dark time in the...

Weird. Here, Chad. Look at this. I'll zoom in. Up top. See that? That's like the scroll going, dark days have been here

for the empire a young Luke Skywalker is up zip zoop exactly that's great um part of me hopes that's exactly what that is

but it'd be great if it is yeah uh Japan did a thing that should frighten us all Japan uh Japan's startup unveiled a 15 foot robot suit for space exploration Wow so it's taller than that python

two feet taller than the python That's right And basically they made a Gundam That's what this is Oh no kidding Do they have a picture of it? Let's see, somewhere in here. Right?

They have to. Yeah. Pretty sure it's in here. Let's see. 15 foot robot suit for exploration. Video. Is there a photo? No, video looks like.

And I can't get this video around. Oh my gosh. This is such an ad heavy. Yeah, this is bad. Okay, well, that's going to take a while. Here's what it says. Engineers in Japan have created a 3.5 tonne robot suit that resembles a character from a hugely popular animation series, which they hope to use for

space exploration, and in emergency situations. So let's say you had another big Fukushima earthquake. You'd suit up in a couple of these and go out there and move debris and, you know. Oh, my God, this thing, all right. Now that they're showing the photos, it is seriously like the, it's like a combination Gundam and the suit that Sigourney Weaver wore in aliens. Oh, yeah, dude. Why can't I get this to run?

This won't run for me. It's all, oh, really? Yeah, the video's frozen. I don't know why. It's going on here. It's all wheels on the bottom. So it doesn't walk, it just rolls, which I guess is difficult in disaster terrain. But okay, whatever.

Sure, whatever you got. And the inside, oh, my God, the cockpit is all video screens, no windows. So basically you can have a completely, he's completely, like if there's a nuclear explosion, He won't get blinded, at least. Yeah, that thing, you're not, you know what? You're not wrong about the Sigourney Weaver suit, but even more so, I'm getting, um, the mechs they used to, the mechs they used to fight. Oh, you know what I'm thinking of Titanfall, the game Titanfall. You have these huge robots you get in.

And you're, you're, it's about this ratio of person to robot, a little tiny guy in the cockpit and then. Yeah, it's a lot closer to that. You're right. That's cool. That's rad. What is this? A first, I'm sorry. I just scrolled down.

Scientists invent the first ever breathing, sweating, shivering robot. What are you doing? Why are we doing that? What do we want to do that for? They got you. They hooked in with their little, what do they call those? The little, the chum ads? Chum, yes.

Yeah, chum's perfect word for those. Here, look at this thing, though. You've got to see this. Look at that robot. Oh, that's kind of cool, actually. Yeah, it's scary. That is scary. That is like nightmare video game character fuel right there.

Yeah, this is where the billionaire is trying to live forever is inside of this. Yeah. Coordinating dominant control over the world or whatever. Wow. You've finally made it into my secret boss lair. Now you will die. I can't believe you defeated all my mini bosses on the way here. Yep.

Then the music kicks in. And then I can't find any. I was going to find some music. Whatever you do, don't destroy those. barrels on the side because I've put life in them. That's right. Health potions. This doesn't work at all.

That's too happy. That's happy Nintendo. Yeah, you're not fighting this guy without music or not. Forget it. Doesn't even count. You have some dead space music, Andy? That's what I've seen with this guy. We are going to call that good and move on and take a break.

When we come back, major spoilers and some Stephen time. We've got a couple of things coming up with him. Some other stuff too. So stick around. Brian, play a song, please. Yeah. We're going to go to some rock right now. This is a band called Solie Vale. S-O-L-E-L-Y-V-E-I-L-L-E-I-L. I don't know the basis of the name because it's a hard one to say. This is a debut single from them. It's called Serenity. It's coming from their album, Conquer, which is going to be released next year, produced by Nick Miller, Edward Fenley, and Elliot Polikoff. Alan Wheeler is your main dude. uh for the sacramento band it's uh he's lead singer songwriter and um uh musical arrangement composer composer for all this stuff they put composure but i believe uh they wrote composure oops they wrote

Yeah, that's the band Sully Veil from their upcoming album, which is going to be called Conquer. But you can get this single right now. It's their debut single, and it's called Serenity.

Serenity now. Serenity now. All right, let's get some serenity in the form of Hayes, Kansas connections, and talk to our old pal. Stephen, which begins like this. And now welcome Stephen to the show. He's a huge freaking nerd. Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.

Yeah, he is. Big, big nerd. Stephen, welcome to the show. Happy fall to you, sir. How are you doing? Oh, hello, Scott. Hello, Brian. Thank you.

I'm doing well. Every time I hear dollar, dollar bills, I just sit there and I'm like doing the, you know, scraping your hands. Yeah, you got to do like the, yeah, make it rain. Are you making it rain in the, I am trying to make it rain. In the dust bowl, America's dust bowl or whatever it is. Hey, real quick. Halloween stuff. Are you planning on any big deals? Are you going to dress up? Are you going to, you know?

No. So we take off on all of our major spoiler stuff on the 31st in the evening because you can't record with every five seconds the doorbell ring. So we'll put out, I'll sit there by the door for about an hour and hand out candy. Used to be when we were, ooh, a long time ago when the boys were young. Our neighborhood was the place to come to get candy, our whole subdivision. Now, not so much. And I'm okay with that. You're all right with it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm kind of, I mean, Kim's still, you know, nuts.

She loves the full candy bars. She knows that we're going to get targeted by kids who know about it. Like, they're just going to be a real night. This is the full-sized candy bar house. Yeah, but I just, I'm kind of, I sit there usually and either have like a steam deck of my lap or I'm drawn on an iPad or something on the couch. I'll get up, give it out. But by about an hour, I'm done.

I don't want to do that anymore. Yeah, I give out big handfuls of candy. candy, so we'll run through it faster. My wife's like, just give them two. And I'm like, no, give them five. Give them a land hole. I was like, wait, you know what? I got a plan this year.

I'm going to be done quicker than anybody. Exactly, yeah. Once you're out, you just turn the lights off and it's all you can do. Yeah, and some kid will go home. I know it's, when high school kids show up, I know it's over and I'm just dumping the whole bowl into their bags. Yeah, of course. Yeah.

What else are you going to do? You don't wait for them to toothpaste or windows? You've got to give them what they want. Oh, man. That's something for the teenagers who show up with No costume. That's right. Hey,

we got some news in the comics front, by the way. A costume you probably wouldn't want to create, and that is the infamous Captain America Rob Leifeld rendition. That drawing. It is so infamous. It was for a hero's reborn thing. Yeah. And you say it,

everybody, I think, if you've read comic books since 1993, this thing is all over the place. You can't go online without seeing Captain America's giant boobs. Yeah. Exactly. All you have to do is hear that term. It's like, oh, yeah, in my head, I know exactly what we're talking about. It's got like 14 or 15 physical problems with it. It's the chest is all wrong. The perspective on the chest itself is wrong. The star is facing too much forward compared to where his arm is. It's almost like his boob move there. Exactly. Almost like he has three boobs and you're just seeing the right one and a half of the center one. And there's probably a star, two stars on his chest.

Yep. And every face Leifeld ever used to draw always reminded me of red skull without the red. Yeah. Almost like there's no nose there. It's just not right. Anyway, Leifeld for all his strengths. The shield's fine, I suppose. But Leifeld, for all of his, you know, success in his life, he created Deadpool and cable.

And, you know, he's got some stuff under his belt. And his whole time an image was a big deal and all that. You know, nobody's given him. big awards for Captain America renderings. However, this thing's about to go on auction, and I'm guessing it's going to make a crap shit ton of money because of how bad it is. That's why it'll sell.

Because it is so iconic, I think it will sell for a lot. But here are the last couple of Rob Blyfeld pieces of art that went on sale at Heritage Auction. The first is the Rob Lifel new mutants number 98, page 13. It sold for $93,000.

Whoa. First shot of Deadpool, right? Uh, I believe so, yeah. Yeah. That's a lot of money. It's definitely got cable all over the, the page. Yeah, cable. Didn't cable and Deadpool appear, like, debut in that comic in the same time?

I guess just the same run, but it wasn't the same, same issue. Yeah. The cheapest one that it looks like they've sold is Rob Liffel's the new mutants annual number six, the cable pinup picture of cable just being just huge and bulky and everything. That one sold. Cable did a cable. I know, right. Uh, 38,000 for that.

So I'm going to guess that this one's probably going to sell between $75,000 and $150,000. Yeah. If it goes more than that, I mean, Jim Lee's cover to X-Men when that launched. I think, I can't remember he still has it. I think he sold that for like $3 million a couple of years ago because he needed to pay for his kids college. And he's got a lot of kids. So, yeah. Oh, they've got some John Ramita Jr. stuff up for this.

Oh, yeah. They got a heritage auction. is great. It's H.A.com or I think it's now, it's Comics.h.a.com. Yeah. But they do a lot of the high-end comic stuff. And sometimes you can find original art fairly inexpensive, but when it comes to dealing with the high-end quality art, even old comics that have been graded really high, they'll sell them.

Oh, yeah. Look at all. And they do a great job. A ton of this stuff in here. Yeah. Oh, wow. And they also, if you're someone who is into retro gaming, Scott, they will also sell like the unopened package of like the legend of Zelda the gold edition or whatever from way back in the day and those things sell for like a million and a half bucks oh my gosh really wow hey you know that there's internet they have some animation frames up here too or animation uh sales that they sell and one of them is you know the the mimi um uh i can't think of his name all the sudden uh heman where he's like

laughing and singing what's the name of that son oh yeah well he's the one that they put it to is So what's up by Four Nonblood. Oh, that's right. That whole thing, right? He's the one of him laughing and pulling his head back with all the stars behind him, which they use constantly in that video, is currently on sale. The current bid is $5.25. That's not bad.

No, it's not too bad. They want, looks like the buyer or the seller wants $6.30 by the end of it. He wants $630. So we'll see if it gets there. That's really nothing. I mean, compare, I mean, for as iconic as, that image would be. That is super cheap if it is the original cell.

Like I have some original Cowboy Bebop sells of Faye Valentine and Spike Spiegel. And I think I have one of Ed. And just by themselves, those will sell for over $3,500 for each one of those. Oh, my gosh. Wow. So $600. That's a pretty good deal. Yeah.

That's a bargain. They're selling, they're selling NFTs here. And boy, they're not going for much. They have historic sales stuff. When they did sell, you know, when those things were going through the roof, people were buying, you know, this, let's see, what's this one? Cryptopunk face number 6503 for $362,000. But those days are gone, folks. Yeah, yeah.

People are realizing NFT, not worth the paper that it's not printed on. Yep. Basically, that is correct. All right. Well, there's that. Watch for that if you're into Leifeld or Captain America or whatever and you can go see. Well, even better. Rob Leifeld did an update.

of his infamous picture with Sam Wilson, Falcon. Yeah, love that. Love that new versions. Like, all right. He always seemed to be like totally fine to be in on the joke. Like, yeah, I know this sucked. I don't.

So here's a thing. Love him or hate him. Rob Blyfeld is certainly somebody that doesn't back down and is certainly somebody who takes a lot of this in stride. Yes. But if you try to criticize that Captain America one, he's like, no, this is good art.

Oh, really? It's like he doubles down. Like recently in the last couple of years. Oh, maybe, but, but. At the time, he was super defensive of it, really? Yeah, there was a Wolverine page that he shared with people and one person went and said, ah, maybe he's a little bit too bulky. And Leifeld just ripped him apart, top to bottom.

And I was like, you have got to be getting me. So, yeah, love him or hate him. Rob Leifeld is definitely somebody who sticks by his, his beliefs and his in his view on art well my problem my problem though with this this one that he did of sam is that it's actually better do you know what i'm saying like it's actually the chest isn't as big it's not as big he's also his face his face works better like this is this is lifeeld doing better work now mm-hmm so you know whatever everybody gets better over time but i i feel like this isn't ridiculous enough like it's too down to earth i don't know

I can't quite with my finger on it. But when you put the two together, I mean, that Captain America, that Steve Rogers one is a joke. Oh, yeah. It's horrible. So bad. Yeah. Anyway, so that's a cool thing he did.

Let's talk about Dark Horse Comics announcing The Midnight Show. I don't know what this is or what the reference is, but I want to know what more because it looks cool. Okay, so here's how I would describe. So this is from Cullen Bun and Brian Hurt, the duo behind the Sixth Gun, which I knew you love. Oh, I love that series so much. And Cullen Bunn does great horror stuff. So the premise behind the midnight show is that 50 years ago, during a, there's this guy called Basil Saxon, who was this schlocky horror movie director. And on his last movie, the set burned to the ground.

And the film was never completed and thought lost until finally somebody found a copy of the midnight show or found a copy of his last movie. And they are debuting it at this kind of like fan convention, a midnight showing of this long lost movie. Sure. And so, you know, people are all over packing the theaters and this is taking place in a small town. And as they're watching the movie, weird things happen in the town. Like this couple is out walking at night. And one of them's like, did you hear something? I don't know. And then all of a sudden a wolfman jumps out and kills them. Oh, my. And then two old men are down by the river fishing. It's like, oh, him fish are are biting. And then, you know, like the creature from the Black Lagoon jumps out and kills them. And so all of these movie monsters are coming to life while this movie is. going on. Yeah. And so it feels like, as I kind of talked about on the major spoilers podcast, it's like if Monster Squad met Elvira. Okay.

Oh, wow. And this whole thing just feels like, even though it's said in a modern day, it feels like it is channeling 1980s horror movies. I'm looking at the cover. It almost channels like Cryptkeeper era. A little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's something about that.

like you given if this if you tattered this up and yellowed it a little I'd say oh look this old comic from the 50s before they crack down on you know scary comics or kids or whatever has that vibe to it I absolutely love these creators they're amazing and if you've never read the six gun you should all stop what you're doing and do it um but now that you've said that these guys are involved this is a no brainer for me I'm getting this yeah this came out last week from dark horse so it's available everywhere your comic shop probably still has copies and you can get it digitally through comicsology uh on the Amazon website. So it's, if you're looking for a fun, and I say fun in that it's not total slasher, blood and gut, score porn kind of stuff. It feels like a 1980s horror movie.

Yeah. Without the, you know, without Freddie coming out and slashing you up. I say sign me up is what I'm saying. Yeah, get it. Get it.

Get it. I'm going to get it. It's good. All right. Talking about good, entertaining things you can get. There's also a lot of that happening over a major spoilers. Why don't you tell the fine folks what and where and how.

Oh, Yeah, so I don't know about you guys, but I've been playing Lamp Lider's League since the demo dropped a couple of weeks ago. It's like Xcom meets Cthulhu. Yeah, it looks really cool. Love the art style on this. The art style is awesome. It has some issues, mainly some buggy stuff that I think they'll fix in an upcoming patch,

frame rate drops and all those kinds of things. Sure. But if people don't want to play the video game, they can certainly listen to something very similar in the form of our Octum Cthulhu RPG game that we're playing on critical hit. And it's like, what if Indiana Jones punches Nazis in the face and punches Cthulhu in the face?

And it's a lot of fun. And we've been doing now for eight months and it's great. It's a little bit more aggressive because you know, we do have to punch Nazis. And that's fine. That's what makes it fun, right? Yeah, go for it. But the Cthulhu monsters and the horror

that comes with that, maybe not so much. But yeah, go check it out. It's Punch Hall Nazis. This is the name of the campaign that we're doing. We're using the Octum Cthulhu system from Modifius. And you can find it right now over at major spoilers and listening to our podcast, critical hit. That sounds fantastic. Stephen, is there anything else I should do in the heat and the press of sun that we're still having to fall? Oh, yeah.

It's going to be a beautiful day. Even though it's been cold in the morning, going to be a beautiful day. Still, though, everybody needs to stay hydrated. Oh, that's a great idea. Thanks a lot. I got this water right here, Brian, I can drink this. Very good. Nice.

I have this water right here that has coffee flavoring. Oh, yum, yum, yum, yum. It's coffee flavored water. That sounds so great. gross. It does actually. It just sounds it just sounds like watered down coffee, but it's just coffee. It's fine. It's fine. Yeah, a little water. Look, coffee's mostly water anyway.

It is. Yeah. Unless you're crazy and you put too much milk and other stuff, but Brian don't want to fart all day. All right? No, no. Got a little bit of this coconut califa farms coconut milk stuff in there. It'll lighten it up a little bit. Somebody recommended that to us

and I totally dig that stuff. Califa Farms. That's the rapper, singer, songwriter. Yes, the Wiz Khalifa Farms. Yeah, it's amazing place to go. Yeah, boy. I know that's a different guy. Yeah, but still, whatever, it's fine. Still, I don't know what, I don't know what,

I don't know what is his tagline. What is his, uh, when you turn the knob on the, uh, what does the cow say? You turn it to the Wiz Khalifa spot in that, uh, on that toy and pull the string. What does the Wiz Khalifa say? Yeah, what does he say? I don't know that he has a famous. thing to say or does he i don't know i don't follow that career i maybe i should he's great whatever sure um also real quick i got hooked on something called sea point farms dry

roasted enumame we've eaten these before you ever had these no they're seasoned with sea salt uh gluten free kosher blah blah blah that stuff um i i found a bag at a tj max of all places because they had that weird these are like so yeah freeze dried so like crispy like eat them like potato chips kind of thing. Kind of, not freeze dry, but dry roasted. So they're like peanuts. I'm sorry, dry roasted. Yeah, kind of like a dry roasted peanut.

They're so good. I can't say enough about them. And they, I think they're good for me. I clearly just don't buy enough food at the T.J. Max. I need to, uh, my, uh, my grocery store shopping. That's the thing about that place. They get that weird little aisle where they bring in, like, strange international, funky foods. I wonder if they've got that at the cost plus world market.

probably i bet they do because that's where you get all your your timtams and your uh oh yeah your actual gloomy bears yeah i've been i'm pretty sure i can get oh yeah here they are on amazon i can get this brand there i may get this whole oh 17 bucks for that i wonder if that's a good deal i don't know okay so they have one of the big square tubs what do you call that i don't know what you call it hold on i'm pulling up dry roasted edamame on uh amazon oh yeah it's this right here yeah what do you call Point Farms, you said? Yeah, that's the one. And they have packets and stuff, but this one's like the tub.

That's the jar. The plastic jar. Yeah, I guess is the word I'm looking for. I'm going to eat food out of a tub I got at T.J. Max. Yeah, I guess because it's plastic, I think, tub. But anyway, the 17 bucks, is that a good deal? I don't know if that's good. It's a lot of them.

Yeah, I want to see. Where's the nutrition facts? Show me. There it is right there. 130 for a third of a cup. That's not bad. Not bad, right? Right. Yeah, lots of protein, good dietary fiber.

Probably good fats, too. Yeah, good fats. It's better for me than peanuts, I think. Zero grams trans fat. It's good. Yeah, I think I might have to grab these. They look like, it's funny, they look like little pistachios. Yeah, they look like peeled, like someone peeled them for you. Yeah. And by peel, I mean, ruin their fingers and teeth trying to open them.

Yes, exactly. Because that's what pistachios do. Anyway, we'll see what I do there. Real quick thing, we got from a listener, this is from Robert, again Robert from hendertucky although this time he signed it Robert from underpopulated hendertucky Henderson Nevada he says

on that everyone lives in Texas thing I'd mention that I'd read somewhere that some scientists or mathematicians or somebody had figured out a way that if you wanted to cram every single living human being all eight billion of us into the state of Texas you could do it

and you could do it and people would live and thrive and be fine necessarily about living. I mean, they'd live, but I think you'd be shoulder to shoulder with a... Yeah, and that's basically what he found out. He says, here's an article I found regarding that 7 to 8 billion

people living in Texas-sized City. It looks like they could, but the water pressure would suck. This is a ZDNet article. I think this is the study. Yeah, let's see. This is fascinating. I like the fact that they've done a infographic

for this. Same. As soon as that damn infographic loads. Yeah, mine's not loading either. Why? I don't have an ad blocker on this page. I don't know why it's doing that. Well, anyway, they say, well, it's not realistic that we will all move to one megacity. The reality is the next two billion that join us on Earth will be living in cities. So how many, blah, blah, see, it goes on.

So basically, the idea is you could do it. You could have a megacity and everyone on the planet could live there. But it would be a nightmare. I wouldn't want that. It would be a nightmare. Yeah. I don't want to look like that. I don't know why this infographic is not coming up.

And if I right click on and I get error codes, HTML error codes. Yeah, I got no such key. The specified key does not exist. That's the one. That's the one I get to. Damn it. No such key.

Well, we try. It's funny, though, because when you hover over it in the link on our dock, you get a preview thumbnail of the chart. Oh, yeah, right. Yes, you get like a little, exactly. So what the French? Does that make any sense? I know ways around this, Scott.

Let me see if this works. hold a different browser I'm gonna try my duck, duck, go browser see what happens there. I'll see if I can do it another way here. Whoops, it's running something on YouTube, don't do that. All right, there it is. Did it do it? It did. Good, all right. Oh,

but it's not the same graphic. What? Oh, really? Hold on. Oh, no, it didn't work. Never mind. Did your way work? My way did not work. I inspected element and then looked at source files. Ah, look at you hacking the internet. But that didn't work either. No, I got an error message when it came to

that resource. Thanks, ZDet. I mean, it is a 2011 article, so it's pretty old. It's not like we're going to get, you know, perfect links on stuff like that. But anyway, thank you for that. Robert, we hope you are well as usual. If you'd like to text in like Robert did, you can send us 1 at 801-47-1062. And better yet, even than that, you can join us on our Patreon. Patreon.com slash TMS. All the details are there. That's going to do it for today's show. Brian, we should play a song on our way out, though. Let's play a song on our way out, Scott, and I've got just the song to play. This was a request that actually came in earlier, let's see, yeah, middle of last month,

but I did want to finally get to this. We've mentioned gemmery. We thought, you know, maybe it's Jeremy, but a little typo? No, it's definitely gemmery, because he spelled it here, Gemmery. Does one need a reason to request one's latest enjoyed cover from one's favorite podcast duo? I say not. Press Playboys, take a well-earned breather. signed J.J., J, J, J, J.

Whoa. That's a lot of Jays. A lot of Jays. That's either a lot of Jays or a moderate amount of J J Jays. Think of it that way. Oh, that's true, yeah. Yeah. Or a very minuscule amount of J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.J.Js. Jays. just a fraction of those.

Yeah. This is one I hadn't heard before. It was a single that Beck released last year, and this is the first I'd heard of it, and I love it. It's so cool. It's a cover of the Neil Young song, and it's Beck. Here's Beck. doing old man all right we'll see you guys tomorrow on a tuesday edition of tms one two one two
