I'm going to ask my parents if it's okay if I call 9-76-77-7-77. No, me first. Me first. Me first. Me first. Me first. Me first. Me first. Me first. Me first. Me first. Me first. Two dollars per call plus possible toll. Ask your parents' permission before call. Woo, yeah. MorningStream, Monkey Waddapee. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for October 10th, 2023. Scott Johnson here. Brian Dibbitt there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, that, that puppet line,

that puppet line, by the way, not edited. They were that annoying. Uh, I would pay $2 a minute just to stop that commercial. Yeah. It's bad. I mean, they did. about five too many no me, no me, no me, no me or whatever it was. Yeah, me first, me first. Yeah, me first. It's too much. Come on, guys. It really is. Nobody's listening to that saying, well, if they do one more me first

then I'm totally going to call that number. I'm totally going to spend my hard earned money and hear whatever the hell. They finally convinced me after the 14th, me first. Yes, exactly. I did think about calling it here on the show, but I thought better of it. I'm not going to call that number because there's no way it still exists. It's a 1-800, 1-9-100,

listen to a puppet tell you a story line. Really? Yeah, and I thought, what's that in 20, 23? And I bet if we called it, it'd be some porno thing or some, you know what I mean? Because those never stay. No one ever keeps those numbers. Here's the thing with that. It's kind of like the Michael Winslow, back in the day, early Mac days, you could buy, like After Dark had your screen savers.

you could buy packs of screensavers that were like Star Trek screen savers or whatever. And then they also had, I think it was even the same company, had sound files that you could load into your computer using Res Edit, I believe. And like instead of an alert noise, you'd get boop or something like that. Sure. You know, some Star Trek thing. Well, they also had a Michael Winslow set, and you could have Michael Winslow giving you a police siren, instead of your alert noise or, you know, when you had

eject your disc, it would go or something like that, right? Like Michael Winslow can only do. But what's dumb about that is that if you don't see Michael Winslow, it doesn't work because you're just hearing somebody's

doing a sound that sounds like a thing. And what's amazing is you look at the people who, like the person who's doing that, it's really cool. I think the same thing is true with calling a 976 number to hear puppets tell you a story. If you can't see the puppets, it's just a guy doing a dumb voice reading you a story. Yeah, I feel like you'd have to be a kind of a, let me put this very gently. Yes, we have puppeteers in the audience. One of whom is, uh, yeah, and no shade to them.

Puppeteers, you're awesome. I think this commercial is not good for your business because there's no way that they were actually doing any puppeting after the fact, the commercial's all you're going to get. and only kids who are just a little on the slowish side are going to buy this. They're going to see this and go, oh, puppets, let me get on the phone. Any other kid who's actually paying attention knows you ain't going to get no,

there ain't no puppetry on the phone. Yeah, yeah. You'd be lucky if you, I'll bet it wasn't even live people. I bet it was just like pre-recorded bull crap, you know? Oh, it definitely was. Are you kidding for those 976 numbers? Unless you're talking to, uh to misty who's uh doing a little hand shandy on you it's you know you're basically hearing the

recording of something that that uh is going to go as slow as possible to milk you out of as many minutes as possible yeah and we lived man we lived in the time for this like when we were coming up every night it was looking for hot girls on a cold friday night and a fall right oh yeah called night one nine it was always on every channel had a thing usually later in that a phone. Hi, I'm lonely. I sure wish somebody would call me. Or party lines.

Lots of party lines. It would be the first commercial break of American gladiates is at 1205 a.m. after Saturday Night Live. It's like, you have this Friday and you don't have anywhere to go. Join the party line. One 900 party. When the 976 phase died down, then they just moved on to Girls Gone Wild videos. And now I don't know what they do.

They're probably trying to sell board ape NFTs or something. I don't know what. Yeah, what happens today? What happens at 2 a.m. now on television, like a local channel. Yeah. Does anyone know? Does a local channel even make noise if nobody's there to hear it? Yeah.

But it's like, you know, I know for a while you could flip something on and there be share talking skin care products or something. And then another time you'd flip it on, it'd be like Ron Popeiel with some bullshit. But I don't know what it is now. I assumed infomercials still exist. Biogas says that commercial was usually followed up by Bruce Willis Seagram's Wine Cooler commercial. You mean the one where he goes, Siegren's Golden Wine Cooler, and he's holding a harmonica on the front porch of some house with a bunch of blues musicians. Those were the days.

Yeah. Was he actually in a band? Was that the whole point? Or was that just him? Well, I mean, he was, he did his whole return of Bruno album, his whole, like, I'm a fake singer named Bruno. One of the first post-spinal tap mockumentary, music mockumentaries, was that HBO Return of Bruno, where they had a whole fictional backstory for Bruce Willis as Bruno. Wow. I have that dumb, I have that whole dumb album.

Really? You have that. Yeah, on vinyl. What? Yeah. Brian. I mean, of course I have it on vinyl. Yeah.

Good Lord, Brian. I don't know what to say. The Return of Bruno. He did a cover of If you don't It's not express yourself If you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a hoot

A hoot nah nah no whoa Respect yourself Wow The old classic 60s Motown thing And he did his I just can't imagine why it didn't explode Into a new career for him

I just can't find I can't figure out why Columbia House Didn't want that album back Yeah Oh, yeah, he covered under the boardwalk as well, yeah. You should keep that, that Eddie Murphy album. I have that on vinyl, too. No surprise there.

Oh, man. That thing. I got to put some of those up here in place of the Rolling Stones. I think you should put Bruce Willis up there. Oh, I found a Seagrams commercial real quick here. Check this out. Let's play this. Hey, my fellow.

Turn it up, son. Oops. They're just like I've pretty much Cool and wine cooler It's wet and it's dry I think it's so burned into bottles in my head. It's pretty good. It's pretty pretty good. Eddie good.

Eddie Murphy had three albums we're not talking about. comedy music albums not talking delirious or or that the only one i know of is how could it be music wise did you have more um well well what that had party party on the time party all the time was the big one yeah party all the time and the something in your butt or whatever what was that yeah i don't think he he didn't put that one on that album that was a little one off comedy single oh i didn't know that i thought that was all part of it uh let's take a look i'm pretty sure how could it be is not uh so how could it be in 1985 oh yeah there were three so the chat was right so how could it be so happy and loves all right wow yeah that was 93 geez those these were all

considered motown oh no that was they weren't all released the list of the same year were they all released the same year uh no 85 89 93 so spread out but i don't remember i don't remember him doing that as lady 93 that seems insane to me. I can't believe that. And so... Oh, yeah. C-O-N confused. Oh, my God, I need to get this album out. This is so bad. It's pretty bad.

Oh, God, that's right. And a couple of these songs were, like, party all the time was Rick James. Because he comes in and does... She likes to party all the time. That's his little contribution of that song. But then he also does... Everything's Coming Up Roses by Stevie Wonder. And Do I? um so it's mostly coverage most produced and written so uh uh written by stevie wonder but not covers

okay yeah it doesn't look like any of these things are uh are covers on this album there is everybody there's a shot of the video putting show into the chat room party all the time eddie murphy what a moment in music and comedy crossover history wow oh wow nile roger produced co-produced his second album that's surprising with songs like put your mouth on me so the money's gone oh i think maybe those go together and that explains what he was doing and that uh that chevy suburban with um uh oh my god uh something brown what was her name oh um uh uh oh crap it is something brown Tiffany brown wait wait Tiffany brown what was it uh Eddie Murphy

Oh we got to find this Melanie Brown Melanie Brown Not Melanie Brown Oh man I can't find it Shoot Oh Mel B

Was that Mel B? Is Melanie Brand Mel B Because they were together He was with Mel B He was with Mel B He's the father of One of her children

Yeah Mel C Not downtown Julie Brown Not DeVette Nicole Brown Good Lord you people are horrible Yeah they don't know they don't know or am i thinking or am i confusing that prostitute with the what was the name of the uh the one with uh hugh grant prostitute hold on that might be who i'm thinking of our our celebrity prostitute dalliances crossed we got them mixed up i do like you go to the

hugh grant uh wikipedia page and it's got uh um philanthropy philanthropy filmography words and We should have philandery and philanthropy. Yeah. You missed the other pH in there. Personal life. Let's see if that's it. Yeah, there'll be some. Divine Brown.

Geez, Louise, that's who I was trying to come up with. Yes. Divine Brown was the one with... Divine Brown? Oh, my gosh. Divine Brown was the one with Hugh Grant. Clearly her real name. There's no way that's fake.

Her real name is Divine Jones. Oh, that's interesting. Divine is really her real name? No, I'm kidding. Her real name is Estella Marie Thompson. Ah, that makes more. sense. That fits with what I predicted. Speaking

of celebrities and weird stuff. Boy, oh boy, it was a deep, dark hole. Yeah, we went places. I found a clip that I must share and then discuss. Okay. So are you familiar with Al Michaels, sportscaster, Al Michaels? Yes. Yeah. Does good work, right? We like him. He does. Yeah, I know his,

I know his voice, and I know if I saw a picture of Mites area, that's Al Michaels, but I couldn't tell you, I could tell you what his voice sounds like. I couldn't tell you what he looks like. I can totally picture him because they used to always cut to the camera in the booth with him and John Madden standing up with their headsets on. And so I always see him in that context. He's always standing there talking into a mic about a really important part of the game. But the guy's done, you know, many Super Bowls and is considered one of the great sportscasters of all time.

Well, he sat down with an interview or for an interview with Chris Wallace. And Chris Wallace, formerly of Fox now of CNN, like his dad, pretty good interviewer. What was his dad's name? Mike Wallace. Mike Wallace, yeah. So I thought, oh, this sounds great. This sounds interesting. I'll sit down and listen to this. I'm an Al Michaels fan, and I like Chris Wallace.

Let's see what these guys have to say. And this is what I heard. And then we got to talk about it. Okay, so here it is. Play the clips. For some reason, it got moved. Hold on. Why did it move?

Oh, that's neither good nor bad. Hold on. I got to find out why the file's wrong. Oh my gosh, where is it? Did we lose it? Oh, no. Did I screw up? Hold on.

Hold on to your butts. Okay. Oh, my gosh. Well, hold on to my own butts. Yeah, hold on to your own butts. Where is this? Hold on. Sorry, everybody. Hold on.

Did I screw up and put it? Oh, my gosh. I don't have the file anymore. Okay. Do you have it on that? Can you find on YouTube? Well, that's going to be today's next goal. so here goes you want me to talk about my thing I get to yeah do that while I'm looking

I can't believe I don't have this something's funky in my life so go ahead you find it you find it and if you're able to listen in while you're finding it I need to be distracting but I'm going to throw in because I know Stephanie's here and she was really hoping I would do this a couple of really

quick app recommendations game recommendations that I am totally digging first up is monster hunter now so i'm not playing monopoly go anymore i just it just got to say me samey samey and it's just a matter of like keep rolling and keep doing this and keep doing that and there was no sure it felt like there was no no end game insight uh now i'm playing monster hunter now which is the mobile version of monster hunter that's made by niantic and it's basically Pokemon go but you're um you're

destroying the monsters taking their parts and using them to make uh armor for yourself so It's like you're smashing a jigglypuff and then putting jigglypuff skin on your face and walking around with it. Interesting, because I was going to, I played Monster Hunter the Real Series before, and the game is a lot about tracking down the most hard-to-kill creatures so that you can then make armor out of it. So they have mashed that in there. That's interesting that they've done that. It's a lot of fun. And it's got the aspects of Pokemon Go that I really like, kind of like the, hey, walk around a little bit.

And you're going to find some cool stuff. what's really cool about so you know when you're playing Pokemon Go and let's say you have the app open but your phone turned off yeah Stephanie I'll wave when it's time

for you to come back and listen to the show I think she's muted yeah she's probably gone to another house at this point she hates this right but when you when you drive around with the app even with your phone off in your pocket you have this little

assistant named Palico and it's like you're I think you I think it's from the series games as well it's like your little friend who's a cat i guess combining pal for friend and calico for cat sure and uh um he will mark he will paint ball monsters for you while you're driving around so that when you get to a safe place you can open up the app and say oh here are five monsters i found for you as you were driving around now you can attack them at your leisure you have two days 48 hours to attack these monsters and you just basically attack them like a like a raid. Really, really cool. He'll also

like collect stuff to put in your bag. You don't need to have a special cheater device like the Pokemon Go Ranger or the Pokemon Gil Plus or whatever. It's like a little like old Sherpa guy doing all your bidding. I like it. But the game's fun. It really requires you to be good

at learning how to dodge attacks. You'll see a little flash when the monster's about to attack and you kind of swipe left or back or right depending on which kind of attack it is to get out of their way. Anyway, totally digging that one. Second one is Slave the Spire.

I know people have been raving about Slaid the Spire since, you know, since it's been on Steam, you being one of them, you even nearly getting me, you got me to put on my wish list, but I never broke down and bought a copy. Glad I didn't, because it was on Apple Arcade, and so it's a free, a free game. Well, free if you pay for Apple Arcade. And holy crap, I'm loving that. I'm almost playing that more than Marvel Snap right now. Yeah.

It's so good. There are a million people trying to capture what they captured very simply, and it's really hard to get. No other game has quite gotten it. It's very, very, very good. Deck building, rogue-like, basically. Yeah. That, you know, you're working your way up through a dungeon,

every level, and you're attacking things, and figuring out which direction you want to go and getting health, but also buying new cards and getting new cars. the cards and stuff like that very cool i said deck building claire don't get excited don't get what do you calm down claire there was no other deed deck yeah deck building declare i mean i understand if you're uh new zealand or something maybe but deck yeah okay deck that's right that's right sierra next we did talk about sleigh the spire you were you were another person that like yelled at me to finally uh to break down and get that one it's really good i'm glad to hear it the art

style is my only problem with it. It's just a weird art style that it doesn't really jam. It is. It feels, I know, like if they could improve, just improve the art style a little bit, I'd be a lot happier. But the game, man. So good. The game's so good. I'm going to, because we've already got like a, you know, Monopoly Go Chad and a coffee golf and Baldersgate and the core forum. I'm going to start a Monster Hunter Now thing for people with the recommendations. sharing and stuff like that's a great place for it that's perfect yeah uh okay found the clip cool uh don't know what happened there i lost my mind i did this all last night so i know i had the file but i must have deleted it thinking it was the wrong file anyway uh so i'll play it raw from the website i found it on so this is that interview this is chris wallace it's only a minute long

this clip talking to legendary sportscaster al michaels and then they talked about this which is very weird. Is it true that you ever knowingly eaten a vegetable? Why isn't it playing? It stopped. Oh my gosh. Nothing wants to work for me today. Hold on. Oh, no. Let's try that again. Okay. Can we refresh it?

What's going on now, Michael's? You're a pro. Is it true that you have never knowingly eaten a vegetable in your life? That is true. That is true. Well, I want to keep playing. Really? Okay. It won't keep playing. Oh, my God.

Why is it doing this? All right. One more time. And then I give up. Okay. Is it true that you have never knowingly eaten a vegetable in your life? That is true. That is true.

I was born when my parents were 18 and my mother hadn't even read Dr. Spock at that point. So she just let me have the run of the course. And I always pushed the vegetables away. To this day, no. And I guess what I've proven, Chris, is that man does not need vegetables to survive. But is it just possible that you would like, I'm thinking of one of the more non-objectionable vegetables, a carrot? Oh, please. A carrot?

No, that's an objectionable vegetable. I mean, really? I mean, how would you know you've never tasted it? I look at it. I just don't even like the look of it. And I surmise what it might taste. like in terms of it. He goes on to say it's a texture thing and so on and so far.

Really? I can't believe that Al Michaels this very handsome 68 year old man. No kidding. Who looks like he's been in fine shape his whole life. I mean, are we being lied to? Do vegetables not matter at all? No kidding. So what? He's never

had like a pizza that had anything but meat on it? Well, see, and that's cheese sauce and bread. That's where my brain went to. What's the sauce made out of Al Michaels? Yeah. Well, that's a fruit, right? The sauce is there technically tomatoes of fruit yeah kind of although it shouldn't be but anyway my i'm with you my brain immediately went to well wait a minute you've had other you've had like a i don't know a chicken pot pie and there's like a little chunks of carrot and potato and other stuff in there are you telling

me you never had that or does he pick those out like i want to know more and they didn't go more into it i want to know if he like dissect his food to eliminate all vegetable based uh products from it technically he's eating fries before probably now I know that's, I know the potatoes aren't necessarily considered a vegetable, but the vegetable oil is cooked in. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hold on. This is new. I mean, tomatoes being fruit, yes. Are potatoes not considered a vegetable anymore? I thought they were just a tuber. Are they not? A tuber is a, is a subset. A vegetable. Oh, there's so many searches on this. I'm glad I'm not alone. Is a potato vegetable?

this says no but let me okay this one says yes let's see yes potatoes are vegetables they're grown as a vegetable crop eaten like other vegetables taxed as a vegetable crop and most importantly they don't have seeds inside their flesh which makes them which puts them in the category of vegetable okay yeah there you go then

for whatever reason I thought those weren't classified different they were in question like Pluto not being a planet anymore potatoes all of a sudden got demoted to non-vegetable status Yeah, like one of those. Oh, I'm sorry. Chat says Al Michaels is 78. He looks 52.

Wow. See what vegetables do to you, people? Jeez, what is going on? They have such a hard time believing that he's never not. He says never knowingly not eating, never knowingly eating a vegetable. Right. Which tells me that once in a while something will get through, you know, because you can't help it. Everything's got something in it.

God, never a. salad. Not a single salad has ever crossed his lips. He is not like he goes to a steak place and they say, what would you like in your salad? Don't even bring it. Don't come near me with that. You know, we're wasted food if you bring me that salad. Just bring me the steak and you better not put a sprig of parsley on the. That's right. It's fourth and two and we're running out of time on the clock. So get that, get in here. Yeah, I don't know, man. I just thought that was the weirdest thing. And they don't, and as usual with interviews like this. if I were I'd be a terrible journalist because the minute he would say something like that my brain goes what about pizza what about salads what about this what about that like I would want to dig deeper exactly I wouldn't whoever uh that Chris Wallace he stopped too soon I would have like this would have been the entire crux of the rest of my time without Michaels would be saying what about V8 have you ever drink a V8 what about right there's so many what abouts like there's so many you can't you can't

cannot avoid this discussion. I don't know how they just, I don't know how they move on. California roll, because I'm pretty sure there's avocado in California roll. That's a vegetable. Like,

is he just sitting down at the dinner every night with a steak and a glass of water and that's Al Michaels? That's what he eats. Like, I don't know. No bread? Because bread has... Wait, wait, wait, wait, why not bread?

I mean, yeast flour, water. Yeah, why not bread? Hey, I feel like bread's... You can do bread. You can do bread. You can do bread. Yeah, avocados of fruit, right? That's true.

That's true. But bread, you could do bread. One big pit in the middle. Stoics squirrel says tomato sauce is a vegetable. The sauce form of a tomato turns it into a vegetable, clearly. That's how it works. Benji doubleistic says, again, how does he poop? Well, you ever hear the sound of an apple getting run over by a tire?

That's how he poops. That's the sound of out my mouth. Yeah, where is how Michael get in his fiber? Where is he, I'm nervous about his colon, all right? I'm just nervous. I don't want to look in there. I don't want pictures. I'm just worried about him, all right?

Yeah, yeah. May he call games for the rest of his life. We also got a clip, and this one I did save, because I didn't lose the file, because I'm not a dumbass in this case. Good. About how we pronounce the word Worcester, apparently we do it wrong. Oh, like in Worcester mass? Yeah. I think I said Worcester.

Yeah. I also say Worcester. So we're going to find out why we're wrong. Here we go. This is another Nick from Massachusetts, not Worcester. Springfield. I just wanted to clarify you guys. You can mispronounce it wrong a few times.

It's Worcester. Very simply, Worcester. And then you have that I would call it Worcestershire sauce. Love the show though. What's this here sauce? What's this here sauce? Yeah. Is the correct pronunciation of that stuff.

But Worcester, yeah, okay. I can do that. Worcester. Yeah. See, here's where I get. I question a little bit. So, Worcester, you basically, it's your, you look at the, the name of the place, and it looks like Worcester Mass, right? Right, right. Or no, is it, sorry, it's Worcestershire, what is the, what is the actual Massachusetts?

Well, it's definitely not W-O-O. It's, definitely not. I think it's W-O-R-S-E. E There it is. W-R-R-C-E-S-T-E-R. So Worcester is how-W-S-C-S-T-E-R is what it looks like. Yeah, without the age, yeah. Right. Yeah.

So do you, you know, do you say pack? I'm going to pack the car? No, you say park the car. But if you lived in Massachusetts, you say, I'm going to go pack the cow over there on have it, yeah. Now, it's a wicked, it's a wicked good pack in place. I got wicked close. That's right. So, so they don't pronounce the R. Therefore, they're correct in saying Worcester. We live outside of Massachusetts. So we pronounce the R, so we say Worcester. That's my defense, Your Honor. The defense rests. I think that's a fair. I think I'm,

if I was the judge, I would say, I'm going to allow it. And then I would say the jury, the jury can go home. Yeah, I'm kind of with you. That's a weird thing. Like, uh, the Tid and I had this, not really an argument. We had this discussion when we were in Australia because we went to, uh, we went to Sydney and then we spent a few days up north in C-A-I-R-N-S. And I said, I told her, I feel weird pronouncing it like the locals do because they wouldn't pronounce it like, like I do. Like they wouldn't pronounce the cities I live. in or the cities I visit in the U.S. the same way I pronounce it because of their accent.

So is it wrong for me to pronounce Cairns or Cairns? Yeah. Because it looks like Cairns has an R. C-A-I-R-N-S, right? Correct, yes. That, that, if that is spelled Cairns, then that's F'd.

It's pronounced, it's pronounced Cairns. Oh yeah, Cans. Yeah, that's F-U-U-U-S for some beach time. That seems like, that seems F to me. And it's not just an accent thing. It's supposed to be an English pronunciation. Well, I don't know the origin of the word, but it's where in Queensland or something. It's like, it's, uh, northeast, uh, yeah, kind of the tropical zone there.

Um, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, if I'm there, I'm probably saying cairns and they're going to have to pry it out of my dead cold body because I'm not going to, I'm not changing. Yeah. No, lucky, Phil, I know you're saying it's pronounced cans. Take it as an assy, cans. That's how you pronounce it. But do you also pronounce, what's a, what's a, God, what is a similarly spelled city in America?

Um, nice. We have, we have Tuilla and it looks like Tully. Yeah, but it's more like what, you know, all of our R's just are there because they need to be. Sacramento, you know, sacramento or you got to pronounce that R to get there. Yeah. What's with all the silent ours over there? No, Claire, I know it's not in America. It's in Australia. But how would an Australian pronounce some of our cities? Yeah.

Yeah, Louisville, Louval, uh, is an interesting example. Oh, yeah, Louville, uh, New Orleans, yeah. No one says New Orleans. You're not supposed to say New Orleans. Everyone gets annoyed. Yeah. I'm trying to think of, uh, what's an American city that an Australian would pronounce differently than we do here. I mean, But maybe that's it. Maybe Louisville is a good example of, you know, why I'm not right about this, right?

And I'm fully prepared to admit that I'm not right about this. But like an Australian wouldn't say, oh, no, it's pronounced Louisville. No, it's pronounced Louisville. I'm going to Louisville, Kentucky. Nobody's going to Lewisville. Yeah, that's a fair point. Maybe that's the one.

That's the example. You found it. I don't know what they would do. Norfolk. Well, see, Norfolk, we pronounce it. Norfolk. Yeah, we say Norfolk. Yeah.

The more you say it, the funnier it gets. Norfolk, Norfolk. How would you, so, okay, an Australian with the R thing, here we have a little town here called Hurricane in southern Utah. It looks, it's spelled like hurricanes, straight up hurricane, but it's pronounced hurricane. But then would they even have double trouble with that because there's two R's in it? And it'd be like, her, no, they'd say, Herokin.

No, I don't know what they'd say. There's a Versailles, also in Kentucky. No, Versailles, where's Versailles? It's spelled the same as Versailles in France. Yeah. Where is Versailles? Because it's stupid that it's printed in the U.S. It's pronounced Versailles.

But is it Indiana? No, where is Versailles? Pennsylvania. Versales, Pennsylvania? That could be. Yep, correct. That is correct. Would they pronounce the R in that?

Would they say, Vesales? Vesales. Where they say, oh, it's the locals pronounce it Versailles. We're going to pronounce it Versailles with the heavy R. That town is a population of 1,476 people. That has not a lot of people in Versailles.

It's not a lot of people. Versalis. Well, there you go. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. Ace says it's spelled verse. Versailles, but pronounced Versailles. So it's, I've heard that it's pronounced incorrectly in Pennsylvania.

So in Pennsylvania, they say it wrong? Like, like, they, you know, people came from Europe and they said, we're going to put a Frankfurt in Kentucky. We're going to put a, we're going to put a York in, you know, in your northeast, but we're going to call it New York. Yeah. We're going to, you know, we're going to put Versailles in France, but we're going to spell or pronounce it Versailles instead of Versailles. did they do so yeah that's what i thought too i thought i've heard people say okay merrick says i'm from pittsburgh and it's pronounced for sales oh good i like merrick meet uh meet uh meet uh ace yes merrick you guys figure it up yeah work together come up with some common ground you two

yeah once you two have come to an agreement let me know and that's what i'll do for now on all this whole this whole thing is really uh i don't feel like i've solved any problems no no problems have really been solved but we do have one problem to solve and that is hearing from j funktastic who also called in about kids stories we were talking about kids stories growing up and things that we sort of thought were real because we were kids and it's how we heard it and then later we found out different and he had this to say hey scott and brian this is j funktastic and you guys were talking recently about uh family stories and and stuff about funny things that that kids do well in my family um when i was about three years old we were having a

of family gathering, probably Christmas or something like that. The whole family was there. This was roughly about 1980, and I was three years old, and my grandpa asked me to spell my name, and I don't know if you guys remember the Roll-Aids commercial from back in the early 80s, but it was ROLA IDS. That spells relief. Well, he asked me to spell my name, and I spelled Roll-Aids, so the entire family called me Roll-Aids until I was about 10 years old.

I love the show, though. Thanks. Love it. old J. Rollaids, funk-tastic over there. I love it. Oh, my God. Why is that not your... Yeah, why isn't this your internet name?

It should be your avatar. Now your, yeah, your screen name. Your moniker. Get that going. I can't hear... I can't hear or talk about roll-aids without thinking of an old punk song, an old punk song from when I was... We lad, but from the 80s.

And I can't... I just did a quick search, and I cannot find it, but it was a punk song that the chorus was, what's the answer? What's the answer? Rollades. Rollades. What's the answer? What's the answer? Rollades. I don't know what that is. I've never heard that. Like a dead, it wasn't dead milkman or, or, but it was somebody along those lines and I just did a quick search. I am not going to find what's the answer, roll aids, unfortunately.

And they did, but we're sure it was. It was punk song. Yeah. We're sure it was rollades. The word rollades was absolutely the word. Yeah, yeah. What's the answer? What's the answer? What's the answer? Rollades. What the heck was that song? Anybody, anybody else remember that? Or is it just me? Was it just a local... I forgot what Rollaids does? Roleads, heartburn or something? It spells relief, Scott. Yeah, but relief from what?

I think it's heartburn and stuff. Okay. Like the indigestion, something like that. You ate too much. You went to, you went a little ham on the ham, and you're like, oh, I need me. I need some relief. Well, I got roll aids. That's what that is.

I just seems like such an old man medicine. I don't know. I don't think I've ever had a roll aids in my life. I don't know what those even look like. All right. That's it. Well, tomorrow, you and I'll have a heated discussion about what Uncle Ben's Rice was before it was converted. But we don't have time to go into that now.

No time now. Yeah. I have to wait until tomorrow, everyone. Hold your breath. But in the meantime, how about some news? It's time for the news brought to you by. More core. You don't have to be core anymore.

Short form videos about some of the gaming topics of the day all up on the Frog Pants YouTube channel. Get them and more at frogpants.tv. Just put one up where I talk about the game Rage 2 and that it's underrated. People should check that game out. It came out in 2019. Lots of mixed reviews at the time. I just don't think we were ready for it. It's a brilliant little game, super fun, and worth your time.

If you like open world games and checking shit off a list, it's a great game. Really good. Cool. I do like checking things off a list. I do, sadly. That's my favorite thing about, like, when people say, what do you like about it? Assassin's Creed and I'm like clearing that shit out. Yeah, yeah.

Like having a to do list and check the items off of it. Yeah, hopefully they're fun to-dos, you know. But at the end of the day, it's just like, I've cleared out this part of the map and I want to go now clear out this part of the map. I'm a fan of that. I love it. That might be why it's been hard for me to go back and finish Zelda. I mean, I've played, I don't know how many hours of the new Zelda game. But you go around and as you go into cities, as you go into other places,

is you get little mini quest and they all stack up in your adventure guide and that thing, I'm sure I've got so many damn to-dos in my adventure guide. Yeah, side quests will get you. It's haunting.

Yeah, having that problem in what's it called right now. Cyberpunk is so, so many side quests in cyberpunk. Or Baldersgate or a million other games this year. This game is like the year of too much shit to play. It's insane. It's an embarrassment of riches, but sometimes I don't want those riches. sometimes you know sometimes you don't want them well sometimes you don't want birds and good news for people that don't like birds because at least one thousand birds died from colliding with one Chicago building in one day so one day one thousand birds one building dead did they like really quickly construct this this building out of nowhere and birds didn't know what to do about it put it right in the heads or birds are head in the south zone right the uh the uh the uh the uh the uh the

the lane. What's the, what do you call the airport? Flight path. We put it right in the bird flight path. Yeah. So there's at least 1,000 birds dive from a single building in Chicago on Thursday. That was the fifth as they migrated south to their wintering grounds. Volunteers are still recovering bird carcasses.

Carcass eye. I don't know. It's all. Within 1.5 miles of McCormick Place, the largest convention center in North America, which is largely covered with glass. This is the building that they're referring to. It's the tip of the ice board. Iceberg, Iceborg.

But it is a huge, huge amount of birds. We found both dead and injured, says Annette Prince, director of Chicago, bird collision monitors. Oh, yeah. We call them the CBCM. The CBCM. Oh, my gosh. CBCM.

Collision monitors. The bird collision monitors. I love it. How many people work for the Chicago bird collision monitors? I'd like to know. Not enough. We need more than just Annette Prince. She added that this was the largest number of bird strikes.

that the group ever recorded from the grounds of one building in a single day. So I'm guessing, on average, birds smack into a lot of buildings, especially glass ones, if I had to guess, in a big city. So it's probably not heard of that that happens, but a thousand on one building, it's a little, you know, it's a little hitchcocky. It is. I mean, those are birds who are like flying in formation and clearly only looking at the butt of the bird in front of them

and not looking any further than that. So that, you know, it's like, you know, you're following too close. You're tailgating if that's the problem because you're not able to see when the, you know, the traffic in front of you is coming to a stop. Never stare at a bird's butt for too long. Yeah. No, exactly. We found two bird carcasses yesterday.

I don't know what's going on here with the birds, but we found two dead birds in the yard. Yeah, no cats out there, just a dead bird and another dead bird. You know, we saw that happen in the conjuring. Scott. Oh, shit. I forgot about that. In windows. We're trying to go through blasts, apparently.

That's right. And all this photo is just heartbreaking. Look at all those birds. I know. You don't want that many. Look, I think birds are kind of dicks, but I don't want them to die. I don't want them to be dead, you know. Birds can be dicks and not be dead.

Tennessee warblers and hermit thresh and American woodcocks. Yeah. Yeah. Say that one. It was really good pronunciation. Woodcocks. Woodcocks. At least a thousand birds.

Look at that. And they've all lined up like some kind of horror show. Look at that. Did they land like that? Because now I'm thinking some sort of Hitchcockian conspiracy. Yeah. Or was it someone's job to lay them on their little backs? No, it's that guy's job right there.

Oh, that's adorable. It's nondescript old Navy T-shirt guy right there who's, uh, hey, do me a favor, Bill. Would you line up all those birds so we can take a photo for the paper? That's our big chance for some. Plumicity there, Bill. Get that going. We really need people to know about the Chicago bird collection monitors.

Yeah. Collision monitors. Yeah, this is an outreach program, not really a new story. Anyway, all the birds are dead and whatever. Moving on to this story. It's a lot of poultry. Oh, a whole lot of poultry. Could be cooking, cook that poultry.

We're going to eat it to Al-Mai. Feed it to Al-Michael. Yeah, Michael's, he'll eat it. As long as they don't have any, you know, freaking vegetables on it. He's fine. Staying in the animal kingdom for a moment. We got a woman here with a box of giraffe poop that she said she was planning on making into a necklace.

It got seized it to the Minneapolis airport. This is trouble. It's my sister, I guess. No, I'm just kidding. It's not in here. It's funny. The word necklace, we went to Costco last night to grab some stuff, and we went with the kids, and Phoebe was there.

And if anyone walks by, she's now a year old. birthday was I don't know four days ago um and she's learning how to speak she can do three letter she can do three syllable words like peekaboo she can do it's weird she just picks this stuff up and some lady walks by and I swear we didn't know she could say this word lady walks by with big pearls around her neck yeah and Phoebe reaches out her left hand like squeezing the air with her left hand and went neckus neckus wow and I don't know where she got and Taylor looked at me like what the frick because she's She doesn't talk to her about necklaces.

So I don't know what's going on. Yeah, that kid's a little knowledge sucker. She's insane. Anyway, so here's the deal. She's trying to say knockers. Knockers. Knockers. This lady was going to get this giraffe poop.

She was going to make a necklace out of it. Some sort of jewelry, right? I guess. Yeah, I'm looking at the... She got stopped by the customs and Border Patrol people over there at the Minneapolis, St. Paul International Airport. Last week, she was found with all this giraffe poop. and the droppings were seized by border officials on the 29th

after a woman returning from Kenya arrived with the animal feces prompting inspection by the agriculture specialists according to the agency. The passenger said she obtained the droppings while on her trip and intended to make a necklace out of them. She told CBP officers, that's short for customs and border patrol. That she had previously... That's exciting as Chicago bird collision.

Yeah, it's not as cool at all. They should quit that job and move to somewhere else and make that other one. Anyway, she said she'd previously used moose poop to make jewelry at her home in Iowa. The giraffe poop was taken and destroyed by steam sterilization. Never heard of that. Okay. That sounds like me clearing all my game saves off of something. That's weird.

Yeah. I just steam the germs off of something, but I feel like poop is, uh, like poop is, uh, I mean, you're just going to get the outside sterilized. And there's a whole bunch of poop inside that, out, that sterile outside. I assume they probably landfill the rest or maybe even mulch it and, uh, it's probably good for soil. I don't know. Uh, it says there's a real, this is the official said, there's a real danger with bringing fecal matter into the United States of America, said LaFonda D. Sutton Burke. That's her full name.

She's the CBP director of Field Operation Chicago Field Office. She went on to say, if this person had entered the U.S. and had not declared these items, there is a very high possibility a person could have contracted a disease from this jewelry and develop serious health issues. Sure. I don't know why you'd want poop around your neck. Yeah, that seems like a bigger question rather than, hey, you could infect yourself with the disease. It should be, why are you making a necklace out of horse or out of giraffe poop?

What is it about? Yeah, there's so many other things. What are you seeing in these little round nuggets of turds that we're not seeing? Yeah. Explain yourself, lady. Yeah. Yeah. And you're with your weird proclivities.

Yeah. We'll do this final story because it happened in Colorado. Colorado connection, everyone. Okay. Is it a good Colorado story? Because I'm tired of you sending me bad Colorado stories. I'm going to go ahead and say that this is a... Hey, Brian, check out this airport.

Hey, Brian, check out, you know, this like the weed stuff. Hey, Brian. Did you know there's a lot of bedbugs in Las Vegas? Hey, Brian. Hey, Brian, look at all these bad things. Yeah, your airport, that airport photo was hell of a, hell of a nightmare time. You know what else, though? Our governor made this last Monday or, no, it was Friday, officially Patrick Stewart Day,

because that's his favorite captain of the Enterprise, so it was officially Patrick Stewart, and he gave Patrick Stewart a plaque in person to commemorate the event. Wow. Do they do keys to the city? Send me that story, Scott. Do they do, do they do keys to the city? anymore? Is that a thing? Oh, I don't know. Because that used to be a thing, right? Everybody was

like, oh, we gave them the keys to the city, which only one key. Never made sense to me. Anyway, all right, let's go. Let's talk. So let's talk about this very positive story from Colorado. Yeah. Uh-huh. Police found 115 bodies in a Colorado green funeral home while investigating putrid

smells. Oh, awesome. Awesome. It's a good Halloween story at the least, right? It is, yeah. Good time. Good time for this. The awful smells. from a neglected building in a small Colorado town for days following a report that the may that made police take a closer look at the green funeral operator storage facility inside they made a gruesome discovery at least 115 decaying bodies various levels of decay investigators were tight-lipped Friday about what exactly they found inside the

return to nature funeral home in penrose colorado it's right there in the name I don't see what they're what they're wondering about yeah this is what nature does if you just let them sit they just poof well i'd be into penrose is that a place you know about the little town i don't even know where penrose colorado is uh let's see let me see if i can i bet that's got to be on like the eastern slope name's not familiar to be at all penrose penrose colorado is this down by uh census designated place in colorado okay so there's the map let me let me zoom out the sumo

golf village oh and the hold on we've already Penrose has a landmark on Google Maps is the Colorado

burial preserve and cremation garden so Penrose is developing quite a following oh it's west of west of Pueblo

oh okay oh on the way to on the way to Canyon City gender reassignment capital of the world oh I didn't know that is that true

it was for a while that was what canyan city was known for what if you had what if i went there and said i want i don't want to change my gender all right i'm good you know i'm fine being this just feels like such such easy to navigate territory oh it's of course i love this but will they give you will they give you add-ons or is that not part of the deal you know what i'm saying like if i said if i went in there said I want two for the price of one. Oh, I see. You're saying I don't want to change my gender. I want to double my gender. I want to double my gender. Are they ethically bound to say no? Would they say yes? Is it no big deal? Do they take like my calf mush it up and make

an extra weaning out of it? If that were a possible thing to do, so many people would be doing it. Like there would be, you remember what a big thing it was when John Wayne Bobbitt had his sewn back together and he was Frankenweeney or something and he was doing porn as uh oh right uh frank and weeny like if if somebody could do that it would be you'd know if people if somebody it does feel like you'd know you're right it's like uh in cyberpunk

they have these they have these doctors called uh ripper docs and this is what they do they they tear you up and make you into whatever you want there's there's actually a medical procedure that i found it's called natadictomy and it's uh and that's when that's uh what Wow, did they take the name from the joke we told in junior high and then, and then, and then they applied it? They did. Yes, exactly what they did. That's amazing.

How come you know that joke, but you don't know only the other ones, right? I don't know. Sometimes I realize which ones are regional and which ones are local. That one I definitely heard growing up. Okay. So we're going to take a break, though. Before I do, though, all 115 of these bodies just laying about, they say, said it was like a total horror show. They had to bring in people who normally take care of

airplane crashes come in to sift through the thing. And the whole idea of a green disposal thing is that it's a lot more like back to the earth and less chemicals and all the hippie stuff, right? But these guys apparently had been slacken hard. But I mean, that's, aren't they like if I say, hey, I'm going to go to this special mortuary called return to earth mortuary. What was it called? Return to Earth crematorium. Obviously not a crematorium because that's not green. Oh, return to nature is the name.

Return to nature, what though? It's like, does it say funeral home? Funeral home. All right, so return to nature funeral home. I'm taking my loved one's body there because I don't want it to be cremated. I want it to decompose naturally. Right. So is that was the plan that they were supposed to bury

these or were they it feels like they were supposed to let them decompose. Well, that's a great question. They just had improper air lockage on their decomposition room. Well, I think the idea, I could be wrong, someone needs to write in about this, but I think the idea is you take them to this place and they do burials. Okay, so they're supposed to do burials. I think so.

Otherwise, you just fill in a room with bodies and letting them rot, that seems crazy. It does feel. I mean, yeah. That seems crazy. Somebody didn't read the brochure as to what to return to natural funeral home. They just said, this seems like a good place. I'll take the bodies there. Yeah.

That seems like a brilliant idea. Well done. Penn Rose, Colorado. Merrick says, but also, you probably don't want your loved one to become part of a big old body soup with a bunch of other folks. I don't know. I mean, if I see the name return to natural funeral home, I'm going to be asking some questions as what does that? entail i know it means you're not putting me in a uh uh a plastic coffin you know a styrofoam you're not putting me in a styrofoam coffin and burying me it's probably going to be uh something a lot

more natural if if you even use a coffin at all if i'm even getting buried at all anyway plus like true nature back to nature would be dump them all out in the forest and let nature have its way that means coyotes are going to get some of you bugs are going to get some of you your bones will still be that like you're gonna if we really want to do it it's kind of a brutal concept but that's nature that feels worse right yeah yeah you take it to funeral homes and well we have two packages one is we we put them on a table in here and and just let them decompose in our in our facility for for years or we could take and dump them out to the forest and just kind of speed up the process and let the let the animals eat them which would you like yeah it gives us a package deal you know

Yeah. Yes, I would like them crowded in one room, please, with the many other bodies. Is that room refrigerated? Oh, no. As a matter of fact, sir, we turn the heat up as high as the thermostat will go. Yeah, it's a nightmare. I can't even imagine this place. That's why, it's in Penrose and not in Pueblo.

Yeah. People live in Pueblo. There would have been more complaints, I bet. Yes. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, it is that time of the month where TV's Travis joins us and tries to stump us with a quiz of his own making. Will we survive?

Will we go through the gauntlet unscathed? Who will be the winner on the other side? Well, you'll have to tune in and find out after the song break Brian brought. Yeah, well, Minneapolis is not just known for their storage and destruction of giraffe poop. They also got some pretty cool music that comes out of that place. Take Products Band, for example. These guys are a real-deal power pop and proto-punk college rock revivalists. It's kind of like your television, your talking heads, your early REM pavement, Sonic Youth, etc.

I totally dig this. As a matter of fact, I downloaded the entire album, not just this song, but this whole thing I really, really like. This is, from the brand new album, Some Sudden Weather, here's Products Band and The Matter.

and a new favorite for girls, Holly Hobby. My Mountain Dew, my fish sandwich, and Johnson City away me. And we've returned. Who was that again? Sure. That's the band called Products Band. Their SEO maybe could use a little bit of work.

The brand new album is called Some Sudden Weather, courtesy of solid brass records. That is the song The Matter. I got a, somebody told me this. Oh, Chuck told me this. Because I've always given them a little heat for brother period being a little hard to SEO, right?

Oh, sure, yeah. Because brother band is just not, I don't know, it's hard. And we've talked about live and all these other ones, the, the, and stuff. And he said, he thinks a lot of newer bands, like younger bands, are doing this on purpose

because they resent the commercialization of the internet and they are trying to be truer to their, like, you know, rock and roll selves, their artistic selves or whatever. It's very punk to go against the grain with regard to SEO. Yeah. So you come up with something that's like either impossible to create a real search for

and you somehow succeeded in being, I don't know if I agree with him but that seemed to be the vibe I was getting that. Yeah, that's good. Good for them. I applaud their, I applaud their direction,

their meaning, the reason behind doing what they do. Sure. You do, you people, you continue to do you. And we'll do us. Here's this now. This is Travis,

and you'll do well to listen carefully to what he has to say. Well, we will because we have to try to compete. We need to listen to what he says in order to win this little contest. Hey, hey, everyone, look, it's TV's Travis, uh, aka Travis Crawford,

all the way from wherever the hell he lives. We're not going to docks him. We're not going to do that. Wherever the hell you're from. Yeah, wherever the hell you're from. I think I know this, but I don't want to say. I don't know. I didn't get permission. Where are you from? I don't think I do know where you're from.

Yeah. I'm from Michigan. Oh, that's right. Yeah. I'm in the mitten. Yeah. Which, uh, which big, so Detroit? You're a looper. So there's Upers, Upers, your upper peninsula people. But what do you call, what do you call the mitten people? You call them loopers for lower peninsula?

No, they're referred to by the Eupers as trolls. Oh, fantastic. Because they live under the bridge. Yep. That's great. Exactly right. They all have Reddit accounts, 4chan accounts. That works too.

Travis, it's always good to have you on, man. A host of shows that we'll talk about later, because we always like to make sure you guys get a chance to talk about places where you record. But today, you probably brought us our little monthly contest, our little quiz. I did. I did. now there is a bit of a theme it is October it is spooky season so

we're leaning a little bit in that direction so just you know keep that in mind as we go through it definitely gives Scott I think an advantage because he watches a lot more scary movies than I do so I'm excited I do like the horror I'm a fan this goes this wasn't always true by the way

like 10 20 years ago I was not into it but I for whatever reason now totally into horror movies yeah cool all right I'll I'm kind of the same way. Kind of the same way. All right. So, as it goes, I will give the topic, and you will bet on how many clues it's going to take you to win. We're going to start this week with Brian.

Okay. And round one, we're looking for a director. A director, okay. So you're going to give movie titles when we have to name the director. I will give movie titles, and you have to name the director. So how many do you think it's going to take you? Um, I'm going to say three. Three, okay.

Scott, do you think he can do it in less than three? Um, director A? I'll, um, I'll attempt two. Two, okay. Yeah, I can do it in two. Brian, do you want to counter that? Name that director, Scott. Okay, then.

All right, Scott, here are your two movie titles. Okay. cursed music of the heart shit I was really hoping that second one would ring a bell yeah

well ring a music of the heart ring a bell cursed is actually the one that sounds more familiar to me might be and you can't give us

other hints like years or anything like that right I mean both of those are going to be late 90s early 2000s like between sort of 94

in 2005 in that range, both of those movies. I'll just like, this is a complete guess. I'll go with like people, a name like people know. Maybe Carpenter wasn't doing movies then, though. Just West Craven for no good reason. West Craven. Exactly what I was giving guess. And that is correct.

What? Shut up. What? Well done. Hold on, Asaga. Is that real? you're not kidding me it is so so cursed was a late 90s werewolf movie or maybe 2000 I can't remember the exact year

starring christina Ricci okay that didn't do well music of the heart was not a horror movie but it had Merrill Streep in it and I think that one was I think cursed was 2001 and music of the heart was like 98 something like that okay and it was him going in a totally different direction complete guess I could have been I almost said Carpenter but I could have said I don't know any of those guys yeah that's a fantastic guess some other some other titles that would have come up

deadly friend I don't know if you knew of that one I remember I'm waiting for that one to show up on on some streaming service because it's perfect film sack material oh it's absolutely perfect what was his name Labrito

and Christy Swanson as the daughter of an abusive father who gets back at him by he turns her into a robot to kill her dad she does that sounds insane That sounds insane.

Why aren't we film sacking? Matthew Labrito. I can't remember how what is how his name is pronounced. It just looked like Labroto. Labritora. There was also. He played a lot of nerds in the 80s, that kid. Yes.

There's also a swamp thing. Deadly blessing, which I don't think I've seen. Wait, you haven't seen deadly blessing? I know. And then Red Eye would have been one recently. Oh, I love Red Eye. That was a recent film sack, right? Yeah, we did that on film sack.

and Red Eye is maybe one of my favorite West Craven movies. I love that movie. And people don't think of it as a West Craven movie. It almost isn't a Russ Craven movie. It's more of a thriller and certainly less horror. But it's almost like when I watch that, that's like when I watch Inside Man from Spike Lee, which is so not a Spike Lee movie.

Yeah. And I always like, I don't know why I end up really liking those when they go out of their norm and do something else. I don't know. Well, it's like Nicholas Cage and Pig. That thing is so good, and it's the most un-Nicholas Cage thing he's ever done. But it's such a departure. Still got to watch Pig.

Oh, it's really good. I will watch Pig. All right. So round two goes to Scott to start. We're doing a TV show. Okay. And I'm going to give you actors that were in this TV show. Now, I did go through the IMDB list and make sure that these actors,

were in the majority of episodes of this show. So I'm not doing, there's not going to be like a one-off. You know, he was only in. Cameo. Yeah. Right. They had to have been in a minimum of, I would say, a little, you know, more than 10% of the show. Okay.

Is it me or Brian? So who goes? Yeah, you start the video. It's you, Scott. Okay. Let's, I'm going to start with four. I can do it in four. Four. Okay.

I'll take three. Brian, name that actor. A TV show. TV show, sorry. Yes. All right. Here are your actors. Jack Nance.

Kimmy Robertson. Sherilyn Fen. Okay. I'm thinking Twin Peaks because of Sherilyn Fen. I'm trying to think if she was on Shameless for a while. yeah let's just go because it's hard that that kind of fits let's say uh twin peaks twin peaks is correct nicely done he bought he was uh he was uh he was palmer right daddy uh yeah no no dad palmer was no um other guy oh yeah he played uh satan in that uh ray wise

ray wise yeah right right yeah he was great in that satan movie what was that satan tv show what was that called? Not Lucifer. What was that called? Oh, it's so good. For the hot, for the first season, second season sucks. Yeah.

Yeah. Had that Dale guy from Tucker and Dale. Reaper. Reaper. That's a lot. I loved Reaper. So good. Cool. Anyway.

I mean, I just love Ray Wise and everything. Yeah. It's great. Ray Wise would have been the next one. And then I would have thrown you a curveball with David Dukovny because he was in five episodes. Right. Right.

And then again, it was in the movie where he dresses up in drag and conveys silently acts or mimes the murder to, what's his face, Agent Cooper. Oh, yeah, Kyle McLaughlin. I'm sorry, yeah, Kyle McLaughlin. So he basically in drag like, oh, well, he was wearing a blue rose, which signifies that it was this kind of murder. And then he did this action, which signified, it's one of the most bizarre lynchian scenes ever. Weird. It really is.

All right. Round three. So we're tied right now, three points apiece. All right. Round three, Brian, you're going to start the bidding. We're looking for an actor. Okay. Going by movie titles.

Movie titles. Okay. Let's go... Let's go six. six all right Scott I can do it in I can do can I can I go lower than five I can right of course yeah you can do as low as you want I'll do it in four four all right I'll do three I'll name three okay name that deal then here are your three movie titles Hugo the house that dripped blood the scars of Dracula

Wow. Quite the range here, man. Oh, okay. All right. I am... This feels like it's going to be an older guy, like Christopher Lee. And I'm trying to think if I want to do anything, if I want to go against any Christopher Lee. But the house that dripped blood feels like an old... Like a horror movie. And I know he was big and that, like, he was used for everything back then. And I can't remember all my Hugo people.

But it feels like they would have pulled in. I can't remember. Hugo was, was that animate or was it just, it was just a kid in a train station? It was a kid in a train station. That was Scorsese. Scorsese, yeah. All right. I'm going to say Christopher Lee.

Let's stick with Christopher Lee. That is correct. Oh my gosh. Well done. That's a good one. That's all about era. That was good. That was all about era.

Yeah. By the way, Scott, if you had gone for four, the fourth movie would have been Police Academy Mission to Moscow. Oh, my gosh. How did that have even helped? I'm sorry. Is he, he's in that? Is that a true statement?

Yes, he is in that. What the frick, dude? I had fun going through his filmography and picking out movies because I wanted some of those older, you know, the scars of Dracula. I mean, there's like two dozen Dracula titles alone that I could have gone with. Oh, God, yeah. They're all great. At one point, I think I had six and they were all like basically either scars of Dracula, the house that dripped blood, or some combination of those words. Wow.

And it ended up, you know, I pulled a few others, but that was a lot of fun. All right, so Brian wins. How long before we got to attack of the clones? Yeah, no kidding. Well, we got into Lord of the Rings first. Yeah, of course. Then you'd have had it for sure. Nicely done.

That means Brian wins, yeah? He was the winner. That means Brian wins this week. Oh, my gosh, Brian. Here, this is for me. This is for you. Congratulations. You're a winner.

Nicely done. Now, last month we did a fun, just one for fun, because it was Joe Panliano's birthday. This month, I've got a fun one. It's a music round. It's an actual song, though. So it's going to be much more like a name that tune. I'll give you anywhere from one to 12 seconds to bet. Oh, wow, and you're going to play.

Oh, wow. Oh, I love this. Like hurdle. Okay. Yeah, like hurdle, the game hurdle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep, which I called Heardle until I thought about it could be pronounced. So, Scott, we'll start with you in a bit.

And I heard it. And I hurtled it. All right, I'll start. No problem. Whatever you got, let's do it. So you've got anywhere from, I've got a one, two, three, five, eight, and 12 second clips. Oh, my gosh. And so I got to choose one and then Brian can choose lower.

Is that how it works? Yes. Yep. Oh, what's four seconds an option? Five seconds. I'll say I can do it in five. All right. So, Brian, you can choose one, two, or three seconds.

I will choose. I will choose. I really want to, I really want to stab at this. I will choose two seconds. Oh, my gosh. Two seconds? Name that tune then, because I can't. All right.

All right. Here is your. two-second clip. Why? I was working in the lab late one night. Well, that would be Bobby Boris Pickett and the Cryptaker 5 and the Monster Mash. Yeah, that's a good one. It doesn't help that I just used it for film sack, but I will say would have gotten it otherwise.

Oh, that's right. His whole song last Sunday was that song. The Cabin in the Wood song was... Yeah, or the Cabin of the Wood. And so, of course. Before I heard the chains, I would have said Thriller. So if I would have done one second, I would have said Thriller. Yeah.

Because that also begins with the creaking door, and then you get Vincent Price. Yeah. That's right. It does. Very well done. Yeah, that's one of my favorite Halloween-era songs. Back when I did my radio show on college radio, I would play that every on Halloween. It was like I would play that and Roland, uh, rolling the headless Thompson Gunner.

Oh, my God, Warren Zivan. Such a great song Like the lyrics on that thing Are fan freaking-tastic Yeah God I miss Warren Zvon He was great dude Like me some Warren Zvon as well

Listen if I were ever to get You know some sort of terminal illness I would hope to go out in the classy way That Warren Zivon did And like name the things that I did The things that I produced Tung in cheek jokingly about Oh my ride's here

Or uh Yep life will kill you or whatever i mean this uh yeah yeah what do you want what do you want your last attitude to be what do you want what do you want your last words to be brian if he could pick him now what would they be um let's say it's oh i need time to think about this because there's so many great examples like uh uh do you smell toast or um i like that i like what's the what was the uh was it It was Walter Mathau and Alan Arkin, and I can't remember who was at whose side on their deathbed. And he says, are you comfortable?

And the other one says, I make a living. I like Amy Robinson's in the chat. That about covers it. Yeah, that's good. I guess that would be the appropriate one, wouldn't it, Amy? That's on brand. Yeah, that's on brand. It's how I end my shows.

so that actually would that tracks all right that's one of these thank you amy yeah i would say just about covers it for my life i'd say the bomb is i go the bomb is located in the and then i just die and they'd have to wonder if i really put a bomb somewhere you make sure you don't finish the sentence exactly yeah right exactly that's the goal one thing i've learned more than anything else about life is never We're always... The $5 billion in gold is hidden. Something like that would be good.

All right. As usual, Travis, we had fun. And I'm glad it was Halloween-related, because what a great time to do that, you know? The spooky season is here. We're all enjoying it. Tell the fine people at home where to find your shows and what you're up to these days.

So you can find all my shows at TVsTravis.com a wonderful website that bomb bats helped me design and it's got links to everything that I work on there we just wrapped up private investigator a month on those were the days that was a lot of fun with uh we we had a brand new episode out today about murder she wrote that was way too much fun to watch uh and this month every october the gore podcast the four of us take over my weight you haven't seen and we do a month of horror movies where one of us haven't seen it before so this week

new episode will be out tomorrow and it was on chud three of the four of us had never seen chud before and we watched it for the first time and um we have thoughts do we watch it for film zaki i was just gonna ask you i feel like we maybe did and i've forgotten we're gonna find out now

chud comes up a lot just because it's the name right cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers We did. 2013, December 15th, 2013, episode 188, we saw Chud. It is. There you go. It just a tiny inkling of a memory of it. But if I remember right, Chud is a very weird mixed bag. It's a strange, old thing.

It is. Yeah. It is. At some point, you should do for a film sack, if you can find it, Chud 2, Bud the Chud. Oh, my gosh. I was hoping that some title would be the Chuddening. Yeah, right?

That's the one. The cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellering. Chud 3. This time, it's Chud. Oh, no. We can't have that. Well, all right, then.

That sounds great. Go check it out, everybody. It is TV's Travis, and you'll find him in all the other places under that name as well. Have a good one. We'll see you next time. See, Travis.

Bye, Travis. So fun. Love that game. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. We'll look forward to next one. All right, we got a quick text to go out on today. I talked about albinos. Now, I said,

everything albino is cool and I stand by it I really believe it and he said or this this anonymous person wrote in and said today you said albino everything is cool I just had to tell you that my Hispanic neighbors who are awesome have an albino son and an albino daughter and two albino cows that is all wow wow so no judgment there just sounds like he's got a lot of albino in his life and I'm here for it I think it's great that's cool yeah pretty crazy to have and and he didn't that either of the parents were albino obviously would have mentioned if they were but the fact that they have both an albino son and daughter is is crazy with neither of them assumedly being albino themselves yeah assume there's some genetic uh tendency and then they

just skipped them or something who knows do you think they purposefully sought out albino cows because they have an albino son an albino daughter i don't know that's a great question when you've got when you know it's like when you have when you buy a minivan that day you drive it you notice how many of that minivan are on the freeway because you're driving it and you're thinking about it so i wonder if it's like wow we got these albino kids and we really need cattle for the south 40 or whatever we're doing out there yeah let's go get some albino cows oh that sounds great honey it'll be just like our family like i that all sounds right to me so yes brian i'm going to answer your question. Yes. Yes. And Claire is correct. We don't say, we shouldn't say alabino. We say a person with

albinism. Oh, is it a, is that albinism? Albinism. Is that how everyone wants to say it now? I don't know. Yeah. We haven't been told this yet. So thank you, Claire, for the clarification, which is rare from her. Honestly, usually it's just like hysterics. But that right there is actually a good one. That's a good clarification. That is a good one. Yes. I like it. All right. Is that what that's called, though, is albinism? Albionism. According to, I did, I did a really quick, Zuga, Google, Google search, Google search for albino politically correct. And the first thing that comes up is to most in the albinism community, the term person with albinism will always be a kinder, gentler, less shocking term. Oh, all right. I'll take it. The word albina can sometimes be an ugly jolting word to many, especially when heard unexpectedly, if you're ever unsure, just ask. So, yeah. And this is, this is from albinism.org. And I don't know if that's, here's the thing, is that albinism, or.

albinism. I would assume, based on the way other words are pronounced, albinism. Albinism. But albinism. I would agree with you. This is like the time I took Nick to Costco when he was four or five. And we were walking around in there. And there was a little person working there. A person with littleism. Yeah, a person with littleism. I assume they still want to be called little people now? I don't know. Because eventually that's going to sound rude. I'm just telling you right now morning you know i know it's at some point yes because it already kind of sounds rude all right and so you enjoy it while you can because we'll get to some new version of this but anyway this guy's walking around working and stuff just working and nick goes dad he was little right he's

little tiny kid he's like fans age he goes dad think that that's a midget he yells oh no oh geez and i went oh oh oh hey like i was like an italian mobster who just heard something terrible And I just, I grabbed him and it really scared him because he started crying. He was all upset because he couldn't understand while I was so freaked out. And it turns out he just heard it on some show or something. Didn't know it was a negative word. Before we knew better, I think we might have used the term midget. Might have.

Or film sack or something early on. I've got a friend who can't stand the term. Little person doesn't like the term dwarfism. And he is technically, although he is. technically, although he's not as small as some, but he's got little personness, whatever it's called. And he

prefers midget. So I don't know what to say to anyone anymore. Yeah. He's like, I don't know why it's any big deal. I prefer you say that instead of dwarfism. I hate that when he said. Yeah. He says, I don't like little people. It just sounds like, you know, we're about to tie down, what's his name? Who's what's the old story

where the guy comes and all the tiny people in the town tie him down? Oh, Gulliver's Travels. That's what he told me. He says, little people makes him think of Gulliver's Travels, and he doesn't like that. Oh, funny. Okay. He leaves him Phoenix.

I think he listens. So, Derek, if you're listening, hi. All right. Let's get out of here with this. Oh, if you'd like to send in a text about this or anything else, please do 801-47-1-462.

Do you have anything else that's going on that we should mention or do? No. I think it's Tuesday. I need to put up a new soundography. Hem and I are going to be recording today, but we're doing one of our patron movie episodes. We watched the excellent Wham documentary. I know you watched that one too. Oh, it was great.

I did. It was very good. It gave me an appreciate who's the second guy who's for his name? Andrew Ridgley. Andrew Ridgely gets so much love in that documentary and rightfully so. He's so overshadowed by what's his beat. By George Michael. I can't think of anyone's name. Like, just my...

York, York, Michael, as Andrew Ridgilly calls him throughout the thing. It's like, yeah, Yorg, because that was the Greek pronunciation of his name. It was like, oh, wow, okay. Yeah, he's great, though. Really impressed with that. Really, really good. Andrew Ridgely is freaking awesome, so...

Yeah, anyway. Let's get out of here with some music. You'd probably have a little something. I do. Matthew Bickert wrote in and said, I would like to request a song for my son Matthews, birthday, his favorite bedtime lullaby. I'll pause anytime you want to throw in any happy birthday stuff.

Hold on. I'm trying to find my click here. Here it is. Where is it? It's right here. Let's do this one. Happy birthday. My favorite part of that is her at the beginning. That breath of the hand. Anyway. That way traumatized a poor five-year-old. I'm not sure if this is a cover, but could you play the Bumblebee Tuna song by Mephistophily. happy birthday bud love mom and dad and maybe for dinner you can eat rice oh my gosh i bet i have

that handy hold on i found a new way to find these quicker okay first this one because it's fun dump the rice into the thing miss that guy weber cooks well not really because he went to prison for child molestation but anyway well yeah yeah but this then you can eat rice oh throwback nice excellent all right so uh yeah this is scotune and it is indeed a cover the the Bumblebee Tuna song is a jingle that they've used, but boy, does Mephistophiles add a lot to it. And of course, it is Ska. So there you go. From their album, God bless Satan, but only the bonus track version from 1994, here is Mephiscopolis and the Bumblebee Tuna song.
