Hello, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for November 1st, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian a pit. Good morning. Yes. So I got up, took a shower, got dressed, put on my Day of the Dead shirt, that button up shirt that's covered with skeletons doing all sorts of things. Yeah, love that one. And then I'm like,

oh, wait, didn't we learn that the day of the dead is like, is the second and not the first. Oh.

And so I'm like, okay, well, yeah, I'm going to go take it off and put on this Henley that I did. And then I came out

in the news is like, well, today is Dia de los Mertos and here's where all the fun activities that you can do, blah, blah,

blah, blah. So. I thought it was the second also. So why is that in my head? Apparently, but whatever. Yeah, I thought, basically, I thought that it was, that I had made the mistake of doing it on November 1st last year, and people, maybe in the Tadpool or whatever.

And, oh, there we get, it's the night of the first. So tonight is, well, then be noce de los a lotos. Yeah, that wouldn't be day of the dead. Yeah, we're a day, not night of the dead. No one does Night of the Dead. Night of the Living Dead. So here we go, 31st through the second. Oh, it has a run.

I didn't know how to run. It has a run. It's a three-day, it's a three-day event. November 1st and second is All Souls Day or Day of the Dead. So I'm guessing the, like Claire says, it starts tonight technically, but tomorrow is the day. So tomorrow I'll be wearing that skeleton shirt that I wore for a brief moment today. I can't wait to see it. We're both wearing Henleys today, I think.

A little button up. Mine's not a Henley. Mine is just a, yeah. Just a deal. It's a deal. Just a deal. Just a sweatshirt. Nothing wrong with a good sweatshirt.

No, no nothing. Nothing. Not advertising for anybody, not fandom, nothing. I want to say this was maybe seven or eight bucks at Old Navy. Oh, my gosh, good deal. It's so damn comfortable and perfect for fall. Don't you love when you find two things have to align? Yeah.

Super low price. Yeah. Comfortable as hell, wear it for years. Oh, man. Yep, exactly. There's nothing. like that. I'm wearing pants, I consider that. I got these at

T.J. Max for like $12. These are jeans. And they have lasted me, I don't know. Six years. They're still great. I'll wear them until they're too thin to wear. I'll wear until there's nothing but the seams, basically.

Yeah. And you know what? Nothing's worse than the opposite of this, which is you go spend 90 bucks on a fancy pair of pants. They don't fit exactly right. And they fray. within two years like go for the cheap shit i got dude the belt i wear all the time the one i go my go to belt i have a couple belts yeah my go to belt is one i bought in Vegas in 2018 at a grocery store because i oh really forgot my belt so i couldn't wear any pants on that

tms Vegas trip so kim and i ran to a uh we ran around different stores nobody had what we needed found a grocery store that had a little section of like clothes and pants and stuff And they had this belt. I think it was maybe five bucks. To this day, it is the best effing belt I've ever owned. And I'll never get rid of it until it breaks. So I'm telling you. That's hilarious.

What a weird place. A grocery store belt. Yeah. Yeah, it was right. It was like a whole, like, clothes area that was adjacent to a bunch of slot machines in this store. You know how Vegas is with all the slots. Exactly. It's like, I don't want to play some wheel of fortune.

I shop for depends and oranges. Yeah. Oh, it's a bad day shot. We got to send out a big shout out to Megan and Michael, the slucks in the hospital right now about to have a baby. Congratulations you two. Very happy thing to celebrate. That's great.

Both of them have been frequent Tadpool feud players or calling Babel Royale players or something. sure and you should name the kid uh chuck chuck's luck chuck's luck yeah there you go chuck's luck it sounds like chuck's apostrophe s luck luck luck which is a whole amy thing she'll have to deal with buck buck buck buck's luck oh buck's luck luck i'm sure they've never heard this before i'm sure it's never it's never yeah exactly i'm sure it's just fine all right i heard something that made me a little sad are we okay being a little sad for just a second yeah sure all right as long as we can be happy the whole rest of the time fine so there's this episode of friends and everyone you know we're all aware of matthew perry's untimely passing yes um all very sad

everyone misses him he was great however i'm watching this episode that somebody pointed out to me this is why i watched it and there's this part of the thing where this is late season this is where uh he's married to monica and they got a kid on the way or no i think the kid's already born and maybe even crying in the background but he I can't remember the context of why this matter, but he dumped a bunch of dishes on the ground and they all shattered and then he said a thing. So I'm just going to play

it. It's just a little too on the nose. And then I have a thought after this. Here you go. Well, what do you know? I guess I'll be the one who dies first. Oh, God. Jeez. Jeez. It just really like hit me over the head. It was like, dude, don't be the one actor in the whole run of the

series that's had that line to say and i know it means nothing it's all happenstance you do oh that was the other thing i was going to say there could just in 236 episodes there could just as easily be one where joey says the same thing yeah i figured no matter how you and i go we have enough just tms alone forget film sack forget cover of forget all that yeah yeah yeah tms alone there are we have said enough things that there'll be 50 references to the dumb way we die sure like you'll be able to pick and choose the clip that actually says the way will die. Yeah. It's not just the fact

that we died or who died first or any of that stuff. Yeah. The method of our demise. Brian actually predicted that he would be in a Ferris wheel gondola that fell down onto a Yeah, and then everyone would get conspiratorial about it and they'll all think it's magic

and it's just really volume is all it is. It's just so much show. But anyway, it just kind of depressed me. So now I'm going to play something that will make you happy. Oh, good. Oh, thank goodness. I appreciate. I like the balance of the force. Yeah, yeah, this is important. You want to eat a balanced meal. You want balance in the forest and you want balance stories here at the top of TMS. So here you go. If I bought tickets to see Motley Crew in concert right now, I would want my money back. And here's why.

Okay. Here is recording of a recent live show where Vince Neal is singing, kickstart my heart. And he's doing it in front of a crowd. And, and he's doing it in front of a crowd. and this is what he sounds like he's like he's high on speed he's got to he's not singing the words

he's not singing the words he's just making sounds this is this is exactly what you get if you ask Bob Dylan to do an impersonation of Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat from Saturday Night Live. I can't unhear it now. Oh my gosh, that's dead on. I just think, and somebody, it's even funnier visually because somebody took this video and then put what they thought he was saying. Oh, I love it when they do that.

Yeah. I'll try to track that down and share with you because it's really funny. Oh, that's hilarious. Yeah, I just, I mean, look, I'm all for these. hair bands in the 80s having a moment here, you know, they're all coming back and touring and whatever. Maybe it's maybe it's time to

Pineda what's the journey guy. Maybe it's time to bring in the lead singer from the Poison tribute band. Yeah, I'm sure they could probably pull it off. Vince Neal, you know, rough living. Leads to rough singing, I guess.

Yeah. But what's his name did all right? He came back a little puffy and not ready and then he got good again. Axel Rose. He sounds great right now, but about three years ago, things were not looking like that. He sounds as good as he ever did. I guess is the best way of saying it. Yeah, there you go. Sure. He's consistent with his previous work. It's best I can tell. Yes. Yes. Anyway. Oh, this is great. Jay Funk test. I saw them in 89 and it was awesome. Saw them again in 2016. And it was the worst concert I've ever been to. Wow. You think that sounds about right. Jay, do you think that's you growing up or is that them just deteriorating? I think it's, yeah, I think it's the latter. Okay.

That's fair. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed that. See, a little fun, a little fun, a sad. That made me that resolve things from the Matthew Perry's sad clip. Thank the Lord. The happy Vince Neal clip, although stay healthy Vince Neal because we've just talked a lot about it. Oh, yeah, we don't. Stay out of trouble, dude.

Also, I got in trouble last night, speaking to that real quick. Oh, no. What did you? What too soon, Joe? did you make well it wasn't even that i told taylor and dylan that they needed to watch barbarian and i told them all the reasons why without spoiling anything i said god i said this movie subvert your expectations you'll think one thing and then it'll change and you go oh my gosh it's something totally different like it's the power of that movie and she wrote back this morning hold on

she said uh where is it why the book okay here here's her actual thing in all caps she goes Why the boob lady? I'm actually mad. I wish I never saw that movie. Dill is also mad. The moot lady, that's hilarious. I said, that movie rules. She goes, you're crazy.

And I said, you never quite know what's going to happen. I think it's brilliant. She says, yeah, but the naked lady breastfeeding feeding thing was the worst thing I've ever seen. It's so gross. Bub, bu, bu, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I told her I didn't do that on purpose. I actually really liked that film and respect it, but she apparently was caught off guard by the boob lady. All right, let's catch ourselves off with this boob lady here.

She's waiting to get in. Brian Dunaway, our resident boob lady, all the way from South Carolina, and his own fun night of Halloweening with his epic run as Loki for president. That looked pretty good. Yeah, that was a great costume, man. How to go? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Oh, well, thank you.

I put the effort in, and apparently it paid off. It definitely did. It really did. It looked great. That was the crap I was getting last night from some of the other family members who were like, I wish my costume, this, that, another. I'm like, when did you start? 6 p.m. on Halloween night.

Actually, I was at Walmart walking around Walmart because Audra said, I need a red cloak. And I'm like, it's 6 p.m. on Halloween night. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, all right, I'll see what I can do. You're going to be lucky to find a polka dot fitted sheet. dude there were some there was like some red pajamas i said how about red pajamas yeah those are those are always a good look nothing wrong with those uh did you uh do

anything else fun do like a little party or anything or you know that sort of no everybody was really it was it was really weird because i had just read an article other day that gen z was more into the Halloween stuff than uh the millennials and i was like okay sure and so in a last five years or so, our Halloween visitors had really plummeted. Of course, you know, COVID happened and stuff, but other things were going on, too, it was already trending down. And so this year, we're like, we're not doing anything. I was like, cool. So I got to work on my costume. Usually I put all that energy and effort into setting up a big party projector outside, all this stuff. Nobody shows up. This year, there were roving hordes of kids.

roving in the neighborhood and i'm all like i got nothing yeah so uh we that means uh that's generation alpha then isn't it because z's are all in their 20s being grumpy now they're they're that's their deal i think yeah i don't know right right yeah so i don't so yeah i don't so yeah i don't know anyway anyway the point is i didn't put any effort into that part put the effort everywhere else and i end up not going anywhere so i was what was the was the analogy i'm all dressed up and no way or whatever yeah yeah yeah yeah that sounds about right perfect use of it well it's good because you're here and you can be dressed up for the following fun we're going to add a listener to the call and see if they're ready to participate in today's tad poolie feud we've tried to get Ian in the past he was our third caller so I'm trying it again he's blinking we had problems last time though and he never was able to answer so I don't know if that's happening now but we're going to find out I'm going to see if it works and it's not working and that's no good good because now I'll have to add somebody else to this call.

Oh, no. That's okay. You know, you try, you do your best. Ian, we'll try again a different time. Let's take our fourth person. Oh, it looks like Janie's back. I think. Oh, hello.

Hi, hi, how are you? Hello? Hello? Hello? Is this Yanna? This is me. Oh, yeah, that's right. You're not Janie.

Yes, good. You're definitely not Janie. Uh, it's nice to have you back. You got a cat there for your avatar. What else can you ask for? Except Brian Abbott to explain the rules. Brian take it away. Well, Yanna, it's time to play the Tad Pooley feud.

I've surveyed the Tadpool on some nerdy topics. Scott and Brian have to predict those answers that they gave us. And it's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Yanni, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with one of these chuckleheads. If your team wins, you get a prize package. Oh, that includes in most. Ring of Pain, although I do have a European prize, like a game that only seems to work in, the code might only work in Europe, then I might give you instead, or along with all of these.

Yeah, do it along with it. Ring of Pain is awesome. A little card game. It's very good. Yeah. Oh, cool. Ring of Pain. I got a ring of pain.

I'm sitting on it. Yeah, you are. Oh, yeah, you should have stayed away from Chipotle. Let's get to the game here. Put your hands on, your buzzers. this one i've really yeah go ahead go ahead go ahead i'm sorry i'm sorry go good oh good um this one uh i've got some concerns about i'm hoping it goes well uh we asked 4161 tadpollers to give their best answer to this name a commonly mispronounced word yeah god um it uh nuclear or nuclear that's a good one show me nuclear number one number one Yeah, number one answer on the board.

Okay, good. Wow. I'm hoping this portends things to come. Yeah. So this will be fun. Yanni, anything, jump into your head and say, yo, look at me. I'm a good answer.

Aluminium. Oh, that's a good one. It's good that you even show the improper way to pronounce it for us. That's good. I like that you use that way. Yeah, because we're Americans and we know what's up. We know what's right. All right. All right.

Wow. Are you guys going with that? Yeah, let's do it. I like it. Excellent. Show me aluminum. Number six answer on the board. Some good points.

I would like America to adopt the King's English pronunciation and call it aluminum. I like that. Now, since this is tadpoolers, yes. Somebody probably did both because I say both instead of both. Both. I hope everybody heard that too, by the way. Both. Both.

Yeah, let's do both. Both. See if it's on there. All right. Show me both. Number five answer on the board. That was a long delay. That freak me out.

That probably means, so, hmm. How about? They are listening is what it means. Well, wait, waint is another one that I do. Instead of wait, it's waint. I mean, this really could just be all you, honestly. It feels like it. A couple of Utahisms here.

Let's get waint out of the way. All right. Okay. Show me, waint. Yeah, number nine. Wow. Scott is murdering me for that Monday win. I can tell.

I know, yeah. That's great. All right. Yanni, let's give you the mic. What do you want to put on here on the board? Oh, that's one that really bugs me. Yeah. It's Marz Capone.

Oh. Oh, Mars Capone. I don't think it's on the list. I think we try it. I hate that one, too. I know that Brian says Mars Capone. Yeah. I do?

Yes. Do I really? I thought I say Marscapone. Do I not put in the E at the end, Marscaponi? Is it Marscapone? You've been called out. No, but it's Mascarpony. M-A-S-R-Pony.

Oh, really? Yeah, but you've said. Marscapone. Marscapoone. You know, it's the... I don't think that's there. I remember when Geraldo raided the vault of Mars Capone.

Oh, I know. One of the best moments in television history. There was nothing in there, though, man. You have a good idea. Yeah. So if you, you don't think that one's going to be on there, though. This is what you're saying. Water?

Water? That said in a hundred different ways, at least in the U.S. Yeah, you're not wrong. Water. Water gets tomato, maybe? Potato. Let's do. I don't know.

Let's do tomato. I like tomato. All right. You say tomato. I say tomato. Let's see if the tadpoo calls the whole thing off. Show us tomato. No, tomato, tomato.

I don't even think that made the list. I'm looking really quickly. Oh, yeah, one person said tomato. Okay. It was probably somebody in their 70s. It was probably yada. All right, Brian, you get a chance to play. Congratulations.

who finally all right well everybody gets me a hard time on this show because i like to say how we say it down here in the south when we're out trick-or-treating asking for some reesey's pieces are you saying you're trying to tell us that that's like not just you but the whole south says oh dude dude come on of course that's fine you want to shove you want to you want to you want to a brush an entire region under the rug. That's fine with me with us. We'll get to you in a second both but uh. Yeah,

but I don't but I'm not claim I don't claim the entire northwest or, uh, yeah, or southwest. Oh, but you did the minute to go say it was a Utah thing. Oh, that's true. That's true. That's true. I did. All right. Okay.

Show me Reese's PCs. Oh. Wow. I clicked it and I just sat there and waited for it. And, much bullshit as these people give me about saying that they didn't even put it on the board I can't believe I'm

not on the board but at one person said that as well so wow yeah you're you're you're you're considered but oh so very briefly I mean the whole south was considered very briefly for that one Gianni how do you feel about

how do people say it supposedly supposedly yes that's a great word Do you like that one? All right. Let's do that. Supposedly slash supposedly, I think. Supposedly.

Oh, yes, that's a big pet peeve of mine as well. Let's get to it. Show me supposedly with a D people. Yeah, supposedly. That makes sense. Number two answer on the board. Some big numbers, but some low points. Back in the day, let's see if we have any old school listeners from the instance here.

Randy used to call herbs herbs. and he was insistent upon it for a very long time. I'm going to go do some herbalism. And he refused. There was many episodes this came up. He refused to change it. For a guy who pronounces chorizo, in the most accurate way possible,

herbs is surprises me. And yeah, okay, maybe it's a, I like the fact that Claire and Lucky Phil, Ireland and Australia are trying to tell us how to pronounce things. Okay. Yeah, forget it, guys. Okay.

Stay in your lane. All right, show us herb. Oh, gosh, dang. Really? That was number that did make the list. Shit. No, also one person, so tied for 39th place. Okay.

All the singles. All right. What do you say, Donnell? way. Jayfuntastic says in the deep south here, they say Reesey PCs. So they don't even put the S at the end of Reese's. They say Reesey pieces. No, no, right, right, right.

Well, that's the way I said. Yeah, it's all over the place. It's all over the place. Yeah, nobody knows. It's all over the place. Yeah. Nobody knows. That's a good sign that it's wrong.

Yeah. Now, I get it. I'm just going to go through all of my pain. I'm just going to go through. I know Scott always gives me every week because I put day at the end of or Mundy. I put D at the end of my day. Monday, Sunday, Sunday.

Monday. Also a very southern thing. Monday Tuesday. But Monday is the one I'm going with. All right. Well, I'll give you basically any. I would have lumped those all together. So let's see if it's up here.

Very good. Show us Monday or any D of the week. Oh, come on. Yeah, kind of amazed. I'd like that answer and I'm surprised nobody said it. Well, chat says, I-Corps says, y'all are focusing on regional differences and not actual mispronunciations. Well, sometimes they go handed on. Is Mundi?

No, because I would say Mundi is a mispronunciation. I would too. I'm saying that's a mispronunciation, as well as Reese's pieces, but that's at the point. But you still do it, exactly. Yeah. All right. What do you think, Big Jay? You got a, you got to.

Well, I seem to be thinking of Tiramisu for some reason. So, expresso. Oh, expresso instead of espresso. That's good one. That's good one. That's not regional. Let's do that. Nope.

There is no X in espresso. Show us espresso. Yeah. Number three answer on the bird. Nice. On the bird. On the bird. I like that better than bored speaking of mispronunciations.

I like bird. Let's go to the bird. Let's get us up on the bird. Well, there's a similar one. um people say escape escape

sometimes yeah when they really mean which one's the right one escape escape is the correct one but escape escape is something

a kid would say I think that might be here let's go to an escape room all right show me escape damn it really

escape was up there though shit that was let's see here oh I thought it was higher shocked that's not on there can't believe it yeah where the heck is it

yeah I'm surprised I'm having a hard time finding because I remember it being fairly prominent on the list but let's look let's look at the map here or the math the map. I said math wrong. We used that one.

Dunaway, it looks like you have to you got to run the board to win. You have to run the board. Yeah. 10, 18, 25, 29. You basically need that last four-pointer, so you'd have to get all the Well, let's see. I've gotten none so far. So my odds are pretty good. Yeah, exactly. Go from getting zero right

to all of them right. Yep. Right. So let me actually Axe you a question. Oh, I love Axe. Axe up there. Yeah, I love that one. X, X, you this. All right, show me X. Yeah, number seven answer on the board.

Well done. All right. Okay. Okay. Well, starting to feel confident now. Let's see. What are the words? I'm surrounded by people who say stuff weird in my head

because I don't speak necessarily like most southern people. No, you don't. You don't start, you're not, I don't meet, you are Bobby. I don't see either of you and go, oh, automatically know where you guys live. Clearly from the South. Yeah, it's weird. We hear Reese's PCs. Yeah.

Right. And I'm always hearing people say, do nob, which is like, what, a do knob. What is, what is, what is, oh, a door knob. A door knob. Oh, okay. Donob. Right. So, oh, my God.

Something that's going to be non, everybody says wrong. Oh, shoot, I don't know. it's hard right how about it is yeah how about i have seen all three of these answers come up in the in the chat room no really i mean like you know some of them over time over time but people in the chat room have been saying these so okay well how about we go how about we go down to our local library and pick up a library sure library yeah all right show me the library Oh. No, that's a good one, though. Number 12 on the list was Library. You were very close, which means Yana wins the prizes. Yay. Yay. Congratulations. Well done.

Let's get to the rest of these because you're going to be like, oh, of course. All right. This first one, we talked about recently on the show. I jokingly call it what's this here sauce, but of course it is Worcestershire sauce. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah. Mostly an American problem. problem um this one is a battled it still rages on if this which which one of these is the actual pronunciation of this file format yep exactly oh really think about that i didn't think about that course it's a good one everybody always thinks that the uh the way they pronounce it is the correct one wooster share oh would i pronounce it i said worcestershire okay thank you claire i still worstreshire one that um surprised me that was as high as it was i thought some of these other ones in the list belonged higher. But this one is specific or specifically people will drop that

first S and say, well, if you're trying to get first S, the only is. Oh, I guess it is the, that is the first S. If you're trying to get Pacific with me. Right. So people say Pacific, Pacific. Oh, Pacific. Pacific. Pacific or Pacificly. Some of the other ones that I thought were, should have been higher. A lot of people say February. Instead of February. Oh, yeah. That's a good. That's a good. Salman. You hear people say especially that's what that I thought would be higher especially like with escape I was thinking this is the one that I thought was higher um a lot of people say etc etc uh hyperbole mischievous there's no extra eye in there hyperbole hyperbole i'll uh die on the hill that uh you can pronounce roof either roof or roof and uh neither one is a mispronunciation

i agree it's regional that one's regional i totally agree Cache or Cache. Epitome. Are there people who pronounce it epitome? Who says epitome? Oh my God, I would smack somebody. Pascetti. Ambulance.

Amblance. I like this one and thanks to Wet Legg for helping everybody. It's Chez-Lung, not Chase Lounge. Chase Lounge. No, that's Shays. It's a Chez Lounge. Yeah. No, we know.

Here's the thing. That word sucks either direction. It's bad. It's not a good word. I don't lie, it's my least favorite. Vacuum. Vacuum. People know how to spell vacuum.

Colonel or colonel. Somebody said comp troller, we've been saying wrong. But the way they said it's pronounced, they say it's pronounced controller, but I think that meant it's pronounced comp troller. But I don't understand. I think you're being troll erred. You're being troll erred.

Yeah, no, comp troller. Comp troller may sound, maybe they think. think we're trying to say controller, but we mean comptroller. It's a job title. So maybe they're confused about what that is. I don't know. Data, data, again, I feel like that's like roof and roof. It's either way.

Oregon. Do people mispronounce Oregon? What do they say? Oregon. Oregon. I say Oregon. Oregon. Oh, maybe. Okay. Oregon. Blackberry. Here's one that here's one that I'm never sure about. Is the car make

a Porsche or a Porsche. Porsche. Porsche. No, remember that whole thing? You did that. In fact, we have audio evidence of this. Let me play this.

This is done away responding to Randy on an episode of Film Sack. Oh, all right. Yeah, we had this discussion many times. That's right. Okay, we did talk about it. Here it is. Let's see this.

By the way, does the Porsche have a stupid horn like that? I'm just curious. That was a stupid horn. That's a stupid horn. That's third party. It's third party. Listen to you, Brian. It's one of those websites.

I just can't, I can't not say it's Porsche. Oh, I'm sorry, Porsche. There you go. You feel better now? Man, that's an old one, too. Was that the first year? Because listen to how young we all sound. No, we sound young.

Our mics are all different and modulated weird and stuff. Yeah, I can't. I'm not sure when that was. Oh, it is 2011. Sorry, 2010. So a year into it. Wow. Here's one that's kind of funny that you actually said during the show,

like during Tad Pooley Feud, Scott, and I don't think anybody caught it, but you said, probably, instead of probably. Oh, did I? Probably. I do that a lot, probably. Yeah, probably. Probably. The Tim Cook, happy birthday, Tim Cook, products was on the list. Kinoa, I don't know if there are people who pronounce it, Kualoa, but that's funny. One that bugs me all the time is when people don't say realtor, because they sell real estate. They're not a realtor.

LRILA estate. Yeah, RELA Estate. Rendezvous. Schedule and schedule, I feel both are appropriate, but maybe not. Yeah, it's a British-American switch up. Yeah. Same with Uranus and Uranus. Yeah.

Blach you instead of bless you. Oh, people say blase you. Blase you, really? Blase you. Who's doing that? Let no receive. Bless you. All intensive purposes.

That's definitely one. That one. And it kind of rubs me the wrong way. There are people, it's becoming a thing now where people will say whenever, when they mean when. They'll say, you know, back whenever I was a six-year-old, I da-da-da-da-da. Instead of back when I was a six-year-old. And it drives me nuts. Oh, why do they add that on there?

That's a weird one. Yeah. And then just some of the other ones, a sci adaptation. I don't know. Adaptation. Alderon. Somebody said, actually, you got a lot of direct attacks in this one. Almost everything Scott says, another person said,

any name not of Anglo-Saxon descent that Scott tried to. Jeez, Louises. You guys, going to the mat there. Anyways, with an S, asterisk. Let's see, bagel or bagel. My next door neighbor says bagel. She says that the appropriate Jewie pronunciation. Yeah, creamy peen, Chipotle, Chewetell, Elijah, four.

What do you call the Jewelie pronunciation? What? Did you say Jewie pronunciation? That's what it sounds like he did. I said Jewish pronunciation. I said Jewish pronunciation. I said Jewish pronunciation. I thought I heard Jewie. It's fine if you did. One you can say, one you can't, I think. I don't know. I don't know what

you can say anymore. I liked it. I need to go back because it doesn't have sound like, I don't think I would say Jewish. Words that if it mispronounces will be the next one we'll have to do. Yeah, it's our next contest. Exactly. Exactly.

Definitely. What do people do for definitely? defiantly that's probably just emphasis definitely they'll misspell definitely all the time

and that might be what what somebody meant right oh deprecate and people say depreciate when they mean

deprecate and they pin that one on jury Dermick Mitt Rowney McRowley Don Chito

O'n course they did exascerbate frustrated you hear a lot of frustrated yeah very

Fuscerity. Euro versus gyro. Yeah, Euro is correct, right? Can we clear that up now? Don't get the Euro discussion going. But it is a Euro. If I buy that sandwich, I'm buying a Euro. It is a Euro.

Okay. People that walk into the mall and go, let's get gyros. I'm leaving you. I'm going over software, et cetera, I'm leaving you. And I look at them and go, are we going to get little, you know, little bouncy, you know, hatch or some, what is the gyro? A bouncy hat. What is a gyro?

Let's see. Giro scopes Homage or homage Or homage Juno Again, not a mispronunciation It's a misspelling Maccab or Maccabra

Maccabre Manga versus manga That's a good one And which is it? Is it manga or manga? Manga is the correct one I think Okay I've never really known for sure

Niche Oh niche niche niche niche niche or niche That's one um redonculus that's not really a thing no um again people will use misuse the word regardless and irregardless they'll they'll uh regardless of so you know yeah it's not necessarily a mispronunciation it's just a you're using the wrong word misuse of word misuse another uh scott uh scott use scotidotty oh simonym do people say simonym that's a funny one synonym worst that's probably me

synonym or simin it or are you talking about cinnamon like the no no no no simanum but somebody wrote it as synonym but they spelled with an m so simonym um yanni you alluded to this one you were going to use it as a guess i think in talking about water where people pronounce it water or water instead of water yeah was that and so that was on there that made the list or that was like one yeah one person said that and uh uh uh warsh Did I say Worsh?

Worsh. Worsh is good. Worse them underwear. Yeah. What about Wala? You know, saying, voila. And this is how you do it

instead of voila. Yeah, you got to put the V in. You got to put the V sound in there. Yeah, what are you even doing? Excellent work. With two Vs close together. It's fine. Yeah, that's fine.

We got a winner, though. Congratulations. You're a winner. Brian, I'll send you these codes and you'll walk off happy with. And a bonus code. And a bonus code. I'll get this European one off our list. Claire is asking me to pronounce you to pronounce.

pronounce buoy. B-U-O-Y. Booy. Yeah, boo-y. Some people say boy, I say boo-y. Yeah. Booby. Is it? Definitely not booby. It's booby. Uh, I don't know. So, Claire, you'll have to tell us of her to get in that wrong, but boo-y. Booy. Yeah. Is that not wrong? Bowie. It's not boy. She says it's boy, whatever. The Irish are weird. They don't know what. It's up. But she's saying it's boy? Yeah, she thinks it's B-O-Y, boy. Oh, you're silly. Yeah. Someone else said Bowie. Yeah, it's Bowie. All right. Well, there you go. That was great. How do you feel about your big wind? Are you glad that you called it this ungodly hour in the UK or wherever you're at?

I've been feeling it. It's only like 5 p.m. Oh, 5 p.m.? That's all? That's not bad at all. People are just getting off work or whatever they do there. I don't know what they do there. You're all transparent.

That's all I know. Brian, next time we will win together. Yeah. Again. Together. Yes. Yes. That's right.

Yes. That's right. Not as clearly. as we won today with with with with with with with me and I but you two can do fine no better no more better is what you're saying congratulations well done hey done away uh you did great and uh this is a just a pleasant reminder that this weekend on friday at two 30 mountain time uh we'll be sitting down to do a little play retro you and i and uh that'll be great is some ultima four five and six phase two of the ultimate series people been asking for it yeah bringing it get your PCs

oh your old ass uh what 486 dx 25's out and play some Ultima. Get some DOS or Mac. We're going to play it. It's going to be fun. That's right. A little bit of text adventure. Yeah.

We'll get into why that series is a big deal and why it's weird that there's nothing going on with it now, in my opinion. It's very weird that that whole series just can't do a halt. We'll talk about all that. Weird. Don't know. Kiss our butts. Bye. He has so much lag now.

He can't even. It does. He can't react. All right. Let us move forward. Ever forward here. Okay, all right, okay. Maybe a little news.

We're going to get a lot of emails. I'm fully expecting that I accidentally said Jewie when I was like, you know, about to say Chewetel Elijah for it. And I was reading ahead to like to say that. Oh, yeah. No. Oh, there we go. Stephanie has the clip. So apparently she says, I've got the Jewie clip.

So apparently I say it. Oh, my God. Where's the clips? Let's hear the clip here. I believe it. Where is it? Where did it get posted? I don't see it.

I don't know. Where are you putting it, Steph? Yeah. Stephanie, send me a link so I can play it audio, audible Lee. Or text me a link, Stephanie. I'll just put it in our Discord. Yeah, either way. Whatever's easy for you.

You have my text message abilities. Oh, let's see. What is this, Claire? Oh, Claire sent something to. Hold on. What's this? Did a push throw up on you? Hey, let's push up.

Oh, my gosh. Gosh, friend's reference again. It's Porsche. What was the? Oh, Porsche. Yeah, yeah. Okay, here's the clip in Free Rangers. Let's play this one.

Here we go. Pull on it up. Hit and unmute because... Let's see. Bagel or bagel. My next door neighbor says bagel. She says that the appropriate Jewie pronunciation. That's hilarious.

All right. See, it's my neighbor really that uses the phrase Jewelie apparently. No, she doesn't say Jewie, and I don't say Jew either. No. Intentionally, that was just a faux pa. Man. Yeah. Sometimes you have them.

Look, Brian's got some Jewish blood. I do. I actually, I'm in my 132nd Jewie. So he's more Jewie than me. Exactly. Nicely done. It feels like a bad time to joke about this, folks. Yeah, it's not the best time to get into that.

But, hey, whatever. Let's do it. it. Oh, I know. We have a little bit of time for some news, so let's do it. This news is brought to you by Kor is doing a live co-stream of BlissConn's opening ceremonies. Catch it live Friday at noon mountain time at frogpence.tv. Yeah, that'll be fun. Me, Bo, John, Friday morning-ish. Well, it'll be noon as my understanding. You know what, while we're sitting here. Just real quick.

Blizz, con. This is weird, because they've always done 9 a.m. for their opener. Yeah, yeah. And the fact that this is not the case. They're changing everything up, man. It's weirding me out. All right. So here it is.

It starts when. It doesn't say this is not good. And that's fully viewable by everybody. I mean, I know the core thing will be, but they're opening ceremonies. You don't have to have a virtual ticket to watch. No. This year, for the first time and a long time, I think they're just streaming it. So YouTube and Twitch will have streams.

Oh, really? The full thing? or just the openings? I think bunches of everything. Okay, cool. But again, it's hard to say. Kind of like D23 did that too. Yeah.

They're taking some bad cues from the way D23 did a few things. Yeah, there's some weird stuff in here. I don't know. I'm just, I don't know. There's some, I have questions. I can't find the damn time. Why? Why, why, why?

Oh, here it is. Overview and schedule. Okay, November 3. Okay, we know the days. Okay. Here's the YouTube channels. And all the different channels, like the World Warcraft channel will be running stuff. The Diablo channel will be running stuff.

They're just going to do it via that. There it is. 11 a.m. opening ceremony. That's Pacific. So that's 12 noon here. It's weird. That's late. Scott, I think you mean that's specific time.

What do you mean? You said that's Pacific. And I think you meant to say that's the specific time that it starts. Did I not say? Get another clip. Did I not say specific? I'm kidding. You said Pacific time.

And I'm joking. because it's appropriate for you to say that's Pacific time. You got me. Anyway, don't you think it's weird, though? 11? That's two hours later than normal. That is, yeah, yeah. Did people complain like, I can't get up at 9 o'clock? I'm very sleepy when I'm in Anaheim.

Well, anyway, watch for that. Frogpants.TV. We'll do a co-stream. All right. Bull semen in the news. Yep. Wait a minute. Is that something that Colonel Potter said? He was like, bull semen, and then the hawk I would have to get in line and try to... Cleggler! Get out of my office! Bullseman! Horse hockey, uh, bull, mule muffins, and bull seaman.

I used to love mule muffins. That was a great one. Anyway, check this out. artificial insemination tanks were stolen. Oh, no. Yeah, two artificial insemination tanks and been stolen to our burglary in Clower County Tyrone. I don't know where that is. Well, the fact that they're saying it like that makes me think it's UK, Ireland.

It is a BBC article, so probably is. Okay, so yeah, probably. Oh, there it is. Northern Ireland. Northy, Northern Ireland. Claire, please. Help yourself. There you go.

I'm going to sit back for this one. Jewie, Dordy, what else we got today? Let's see, where the hell were we here? Oh, so sometime on the 21st of October, between then and the 23rd, these tanks containing what has been described as a quote-unquote large quantity of cattle semen was stolen. What has been described as? I mean, do they really need to qualify it? Like, well, one person might describe it as a large quantity, but I know some bulls that just say, that's a Tuesday. That's nothing.

That's a Tuesday. It's a Tuesday of semen. Anyway, let's see here. It's stored in straws in compartments inside a big cryogenic storage tank is how they keep the stuff fresh and ready to rock. Let's see here. The size of the tanks stolen is not known because the police say they and their contents were significant value. That doesn't mean anything. We're of significant value.

That's why they don't know how much. That's weird. That is weird, yeah. Because, I mean, the size of the tanks, yeah, how do they not know how big these tanks were? I don't get it. I don't get it. Just run down to the Walmart, pick up some tanks. I don't care of big there.

We're just going to fill them with bull semen. How much? I don't know. However much they fill. It's like saying pick up ice at the gas station. Well, how much ice? I don't know. What do they have?

I don't know. Whatever that bag is. Yeah, lame. Cattle semen can be expensive depending on the quality of. of the bowl. Yeah. It's true. Yeah.

Seamen from prize-winning animals can command a very high price. The theft has surprised those in agriculture. Tools and quad bikes, even animals, are more easily stolen and sold on. That's a weird way of writing that. But, okay, Ireland, you do you. Ireland? Yeah. Seaman storage is a specialized industry.

And as one farmer put it to the person who wrote the article, quote, you don't mess around with liquid nitrogen. That's true. Yeah. And bow, semen. it's used for cryogenic storage essentially freezing something to preserve it boy this article really wants to eat and learn something totally yes and I like how every line is a sentence like yeah all stop character turn character turn next line yeah oh they're

very serious about the way they write yes you know it makes me wonder though where does this semen turn up you know it seems easy to track because if suddenly there's a bull market on eBay for vials of bull semen I mean, there's the bull market, there's the bear market. I think you just, you know, you basically just show up at a stock show with a trench coat and you go, want to buy some bull semen. You got a little cryogenic tubes on your... Exactly like cryogenic steam rising from you. Oh, gross.

Yeah, I don't know. I just don't know how you do this. And wouldn't it end up in the same markets, like the same cattle ranchers or whoever's getting the seamen to people? produce more cows, wouldn't they get it and then someone, this just seems like an easy crime to solve? Because it's not like it's just to disappear. I mean, it could just be someone who's like got a large collection, like a large collection of cattle and just wants to use, you know, very high quality, uh, semen to impregnate them, I guess. That's true. I don't know. Anyway, good luck.

northern ireland it's not like you guys have ever had historical issues uh lean into this one okay let it ride let it go i mean you know we're in that glass house called america scott i don't think we can i don't think we can throw too many rocks no the how i got to poke at claire somehow you know oh yeah absolutely we have a rule around here poke at the silly way that she pronounces buoy yeah by the way apparently that is a uh a u k thing so Zoe confirmed that it's pronounced boy in the U.K. So, she and Claire can pronounce it that way. We have not, you know, Licky Phil didn't chime in on that one.

Licky Phil, booey or boy? And when you guys talk about Baba Booie, do you say Baba Boy? What do you do? Bobba boy, yes. Okay. That's fine. Yeah. From Raxa in our chat room or in our Discord sent this article in.

Okay. The inaugural Florida Man Games are seeking contestants. I wish I lived in Florida. This sounds fantastic. Doesn't it though? This feels like something that needs to be televised in a 23-part series. Yeah, make sure they film this. That's all I'm asking.

It says here, whether it's riding a human-sized tamster wheel across the Atlantic Ocean or wielding a machete or machete, whatever Randy says, it's fine. In a road rage accident, the notorious Florida man always seems to be making headlines for another truth, a stranger-than-fiction kind of story. next year, Florida-style competition aims to give Sunshine State residents a chance to compete in tests of beer-belly sumo wrestling, evading the police and knocking each other into the mud with pool noodles. Those are just some of the expected events. The Florida Man Games are coming to St. Augustine for the first time on February 24th. The event was jumped up by Pete Melfy, a St. Augustine native who owns the 904, now a media outlet covering

St. John's County. He said he envisioned a 0.5K beer run of sorts before expanding his vision to a broader contest. He says this. How can we really play on these Florida men headlines that we hear so much about? Somebody gave me the idea

to make it into an athletic competition, he said. It's going to be a wild day of mud games and Florida style obstacle courses. It's going to be a real opportunity. Yeeh! I don't know. I'd go to that. That sounds like fun? Oh, yeah, for sure.

I'm not going to compete. I'm not a Floridian. But if I was... No, I feel like we need to... Maybe we need to reschedule TMS Vegas and have it in Florida in February instead so that we can do a live... Live report from there. At the very least, can we get a... We know we have listeners in that part of Florida. Can you guys... We need somebody on the ground. Oh, yes, yeah.

Somebody on the ground, our man on the ground, or women. We don't care. We'll take it. Florida woman. It's fine. Florida woman. That is going to do it for today's news. Yeah, we gave you the really important headlines before our break. So now that we're going to take our break, we're going to think long and hard about what we've done and know that after the end of this song, we're going to have Tom Merritt here, and then we're going to have recommendals. It's going to be great. So sit still and relax.

Thank goodness. Tom is coming to class up the joint. All right. This is a band called Cult of Venus. This is a line of best fit calls them one of the most intriguing outfits of this year. This is a New York City artist who goes by. the name. Sorry, it's one person, one woman named Cult of Venus. She shares her newest single Time Capsule, a revolution-minded reflection on the inescapable

cycles of violence and the dimming horizons of peace. I don't know about any of that, but I do think it's a great song. A brand new single, I don't know, let's see, this was remixed or mixed, I'm sorry, by Jeff Swan, who works with Grimes, Charlie X, CX, and Caroline Polich.

It's a really, really good song, and you're going to hear it right now. Here is Cult of Venus and Time Capsule. It's always your heartache, a blink of an eye. It's always a war. My heads off the battle and I lose on me. My heart on my sleep And I believe

The empire is starting to burn Revolution in the end. I've seen this story before They'll chalk on the pavement A sign of the time Oh, I wear my heart on my sleep And I believe

The empire is starting to burn Revolution Yeah, yeah. I'm sick of leaders for my problems to be solved on the world of the crust of the challenge of the United States. I don't find all you can do my mind. It's a sad reality of disaster capitalism greed. This is global society.

But there is always a system. I'm a living on the value in the United States. So, we have a new opportunity. We need to be just necessary and daily do. This is very much. The power is in the hands as I know. The power is in the hands of the people. No one can control the population.

This is the first over-the-counter daily birth control pill available in the U.S. Let's be real. Getting a birth control prescription is not always easy and it's so much admin. In fact, about a third of women face barriers to access prescription birth control between scheduling appointments, missing work, class, or just trying to exist. It's a lot. But now Ophill is putting birth control in our control. O pill is a daily birth control that's FDA approved, full prescription strength and estrogen-free and 98% effective when used as directed. Grab it online or at most major retailers, no prescription or doctor's appointment needed. So if you're thinking about birth control, check out O-Pill to see if it's right

for you. Use code Giggly for 25% off your first month of O-P-I-L at O-P-I-L.com. That's code Giggly at O-P-I-L-L-D-com, birth control, and your control. We love to see it. Once there was a girl named Jenny. She was like all the other girls. except for one thing. She always wore a green ribbon. You see, I do love a walnut. Hello, I'm muted. And we're back, everybody.

That was who again? That is a cult of Venus and their song, Time Capsule. Nice. The cult of Venus. I'm your Venus. That's the one. Drink the Kool-Aid. We're a cult. Like that? Yeah, sure. Yes. Okay. By the way, who did that song? Who was the original artist of that song? Oh, I have no idea. Don't say banana-ramma. Don't say banana-ram. Well, banana-ram is the only one to know. Let me just guess. Who would have done something like that?

Oh my gosh. I don't know. Some 60s band. A shocking blue. Shocking, who do we know them from? We don't know them from, we know them from the song, Venus. Shocking Blue, Dutch rock band. Okay. Dutch. Oh, I didn't know they were Dutch.

That's what it says here on their website. A lot of interesting Dutch bands. You know, Golden Earing was Dutch. The band that did Radar Love and Twilight Zone. Radar Love. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah, I like that song. Once again, another one I've heard more covers of

than the original, I think. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't know if you have. Maybe not. Is that the only thing there is of that song? I feel like, I don't know. I don't know.

I mean, I'm sure there are covers of Radar Love, but I think the only one you know, the only version that you've likely heard. Oh, maybe there's a, there might be a metal version of it now that I say that. Yeah. I don't know. I swear I've heard something, but what do I know? I don't know things about music. Brian knows all this cover shit.

That's what he knows. All right? That's right. We're going to get our info from him. Yeah, White Lion does a cover of Radar Love. That might be the other one you've heard. That might have been what I heard. Well, I also heard this. Kind of in a tough spot here, Tom.

Sorry. Tom Merritt, everybody. He is here with us today. We're wearing a Star Wars shirt. Oh, yeah. Sweet. Yeah, look at this. No, it's not a Star Wars shirt, Scott. Oh, it's a Star Trek shirt. It's one of those tricky ones where the font for me. This is the one that just irritates probably both sides, right? It's actually not that comfortable, but I can't get it. rid of it. Yeah, no, it's a great, it's a fantastic shirt. I wouldn't get rid of it either.

Yeah, no, that's great. All I can see is star. So that really threw me. Yeah, no, it's, I've, how, I'm, hundreds of times in my life, I've seen people go, what, like, there's a real love. I wore it, uh, I wore it, uh, I wore it to Force Awakens premiere night. Oh, very nice. That's great. Nice. It's a, it's got a real, um, uh, what's the word? There's a word for this, where fonts and our brains. It's trolley. Yeah. Yes, but there's a reason, there's some kind of thing in our heads that makes us do this. Like when you see the color, you see the color, or you see the word red, but it's in the color green.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't know, I can't, I don't know the word for that. I don't know it either. I know what you're talking about, though. Well, aside from that unknown science aspect, we're now going to move on to some tech talk. Hey, Tom Merritt. Oh, you're going to a blizzcon this weekend. That's right.

I am, yeah. You're like the only friend of mine going, seems like this year. It's weird. I'm going to be very curious what the vibe is going to be like there. especially because I'm only going Saturday. I'm not going Friday, so I'll only get like a half look at it. The number of panels and events is extremely pared down

compared to what I remember 2019 and before. But yeah, it'll be curious. It'll be interesting, yeah. You know, there's no us sitting there playing or watching over or not Overwatch. Heartstone. Yeah. It's the Overwatch 2 World Overwatch World Cup.

They are doing that, that's right, yeah. But they're not, but unlike previous years, it's every year that I've ever been since 2011, and I went that year with you again, Tom, I think. I think Brian was there, too. Yeah, I think so. That was the first year you guys did your ice cream social, I think. Yes.

Ah, yes. Anyway. It was Nicole and Mark and Tom and Tristan and me. Yeah, that's a grand tradition. But it's always, been halls full of esports 24-7 just constantly that's what you had

available to you. Yeah. And it looks like this year it's none of that without besides the one thing they're doing for Overwatch which is tied to why you're going because you're going to go see this this K-pop group called La Black Pink

La Seraphim. Yes. Nailed it. Good job. Okay. Yeah. Is that right? Okay. Yeah. So I mean are you are you, I guess are you're looking forward to it obviously you're going yeah no absolutely um it's it's sort of a negotiation of uh how much in advance of la seraphim's performance we want to be there because i would like to get a look at the show floor um you know and walk around a little bit but also don't want to just be sitting there because i'm not you know i'm not sure if i'm not sure what the lines will be like or or how

interesting uh the things they'll have to show will be um and and and you know to to be honest uh i don't play the way I used to and we are, my wife and I are going to see Lezara Finn. So that's kind of the main reason we're going. Yeah. Well, you'll hear more about this because Tom and I are going to have a chat after DTNS today and play

do a little pre-recorded thing for Core where I ask Tom questions about this K-pop group and how it might be tied to Overwatch 2 the world's premier free to play team-based shooter that also people are

mad at right now. So there'll be a fun combination. Oh, no, really? Yeah. We'll see how that goes. Anyway, watch Cours Thursday night episode for that. Tom, let's get into the tech of the day. What is going on right now? Yeah, so speaking people being mad at something on the internet,

YouTube has rolled out its ad blocker fighting. I don't know like an easy way to say. Like YouTube is combating ad blocking with pop-ups. We need to text an ad blocker that's a hey, we see you're doing an ad blocker.

Could you turn that off for YouTube? They actually don't tell you to turn the ad blocker off in the pop-up. They're like, could you just turn that off for us? Thanks. Second, you could just pay for YouTube premium. That's your other option. And then we'll stop blocking you if you pay for YouTube premium because there's no ads there anyway.

So it's actually a fairly reasonable way to go about it. You're not saying turn off your ad blocker. You're saying just give us an exemption, which is fairly typical in other things that I've seen from places like wired, et cetera. And it's also giving you an option to be like, hey, if you don't want ads, you can pay for it. But I posit, I've got my substack newsletter coming out in a little bit. I posit that this isn't really about paying or ads.

It's about change. People just don't like the friction of having to do something. They're like, I've been running this ad blocker forever. I've been watching YouTube forever. It's fine. It works. I don't want to change it. Because most people turn on ad blockers, not because they're cheap, but because ads make

a lot of websites almost unusable. And so, you know, the ad blocker goes on to make the web usable again. And then when somebody like YouTube comes along and tries this, it's just annoying, right? You may even rationally understand, like, yes, paying them whatever, $10 a month is worth it, but you're so upset by the friction that it caused and the change that it caused. and we all have too many things to do. And now we've got to deal with one more thing that I think it makes people upset.

Yeah. I also think there's a little bit of angling on the price value proposition because basically if you had an ad blocker prior to this, you were getting one of the features of YouTube premium, and that being no ads. And that price used to be, I think it initially was $9.99.

It included, well, YouTube music was rolled into it. It was a really good value, actually, for quite a bit. offline downloads background play stuff like that stuff is a really good value at that price well that thing has now creeped itself up to i think 16 is the current running deal here in the in the states anyway and you're starting to see that moment of like well i don't think i want to pay that i'll just use an ad blocker and maybe that's why they're just trying to hedge hedge that a little bit you know they're like well if we put up to a warning thing that'll get some people to brer per ber i don't know it's such a tight rope to walk And when you've gone this long without bothering with blocking blockers or reacting to blockers and then suddenly you do it, people aren't going to be happy about it.

Yeah, I think the people who go so far as to look it up and see the prices probably do run into a little like, ooh, that's more expensive than I remember. I just don't think most people are even getting there. Most people who go to the, I actually think most people who go to the web and complain about this, then go back and pay. yeah because even at 16 or whatever i'm trying to get the actual price so that we can have it regularly yeah yeah 14 14 a month okay uh even at 14 a month i think a lot of people like yeah but i use youtube a lot and i really would like yeah okay fine i'll pay for it um and it is a pretty good price when you consider that you're getting youtube music if you wanted to use youtube music but a lot of people are like yeah i don't care about that i have spot i don't need

YouTube music. Right. Yeah. That's the other thing. It's not a value ad in that stuff. For me, it was a huge ad because of a few factors. One was I got YouTube music, which made me switch to that and that alone. I quit using, I had Spotify for a while, had Apple Music for a while.

I really like YouTube music. And the fact that I get no ads and all these other benefits, like it's one of my favorite subscriptions for YouTube premium. But I get how people, a lot of people I think just see YouTube is almost like a public utility, right? It's just exists. it's where all the video is.

If you forgot the jingle from a commercial in the 50s, you're likely to find it on YouTube if you want to go search. It's almost like its own search engine and its own sets of results. And it's so infinitely deep that it's not surprising to me that people maybe are feeling a weird pinch from this. Because in their minds, this should just be a free thing they always get and never not have to pay for it. In this case, not block ads from them.

So I don't know. I don't know. They're probably going to get a little pushback from it, but. Oh, they are. Yeah. Already are. And I think, I don't know about folks in the audience, but we have started using YouTube a lot more in our evening TV watching. Like it is, and granted, we're not running an ad blocker on our Apple TV or our Roku. But yeah, it is starting to creep into other parts of TV watching. And because you have, add YouTube TV to it and and you can add NFL Sunday ticket to it. It really is starting to

become TV more and more for a lot of people, which I think is going to be an issue. The other reason people are getting upset is they don't have a choice. You can't say, well, YouTube's doing this ad blocker thing that's annoying. I'm just going to switch to the competition because there really isn't competition for everything YouTube does. There's competitions for pieces of it, but not everything. Yeah, that's true. That doesn't get them in any kind of weird trouble. Like, do we eventually get to a place where there's anti-competitive charges brought against them by various regulatory

committees. Is Rita Khan at the FTC taking notes right now? Yeah. Because I mean if it becomes dominant enough. I wouldn't be shocked. Right now there's enough competition in the streaming space considering Netflix and things like Sling TV and Hulu Live that I don't think you could make a big

case yet. But sure, on the horizon. I think that it, you know, barring a change in circumstances, which can always happen, that's kind of where things are headed, I think. Yeah, it depends on what starts to get valued more. Like, if suddenly the world starts valuing, getting videos of people getting kicked in the nuts, then YouTube has a monopoly.

We got to, like, spread that out some. Then we get, then we end up in trouble. I think that's the thing people miss sometimes about YouTube is they think, oh, yeah, it's the place to watch the funny cat video, which it still is, 1,000%. But you can also add Paramount Plus to it. You can also add football to it. You can also watch, I've watched whole shows from overseas markets legitimately, not pirated, where the channel is like, oh, for the international market, we'll put this on YouTube.

So it has got high quality content. I don't know. Look next time you watch a video on an app or on a website, 50% of the time you'll probably run into the fact that that's a YouTube video they're embedding. Like, companies use it as their video server. So, yeah, it's creeping in there without people noticing. Yeah, it's like this Bliscon thing. They used to do the big deal at DirecTV, and you had to buy a package and everything. And this year, it's YouTube and Twitch and all of the individual channels.

Like, they're literally using that as their infrastructure to do it, not something internally. So, yeah, I don't know. Be fun to watch how it goes, but I, you know, I don't know if I made this clear, but I just think YouTube premium is a really awesome value if you really like all the stuff YouTube. has and it does. That's kind of there. I agree. I am upset by the ad blocker thing myself, just like everybody else. Every time I've seen it done by other companies, usually they just end up going with a paywall. And like Reuters, Wired, Bloomberg, et cetera, they try the ad blocker thing for a while and then they just give up and they do a paywall. I don't think YouTube's

going to do a paywall. So I think we're stuck with them doing these annoying ad block things, which is unfortunate because it's an imprecise science. And there are times when you're running legitimate security stuff that isn't trying to block ads that can trigger these ad blockers. And, yeah, that's a very small amount of people, but that's annoying too. It would be better if this just worked. And it was a very clear, like, look, if you want to watch it free, you've got to pay for the ads. But there is some fuzzy stuff around the edges. Absolutely.

Well, speaking of fuzzy edges, terrible transition. Sorry, that's not good. Yeah, it's not beautiful. Let's swing over to what's going on with you. Anything else going on in the world of DTNS or otherwise you'd like to mention to the fine folks? Yeah, well, we've got Scott on the show today. We'll probably be talking about this YouTube stuff more if you want to hear more conversation about that. And, of course, I'm going to be on core with that thing we're recording later.

But I mentioned my technology newsletter. It's available at freetomnewsletter.com, which I feel is kind of a cheat. So I hate using that URL because it's only free like once a week. And I haven't been putting everything out for free. But if you do think it's valuable, I've got a paywall. I'm not doing an ad blocker, though. If you do think it's valuable to get my insights. Like, Daily Tech News Show is for the roundtable where I play more of the role of moderator, devil's advocate, etc.

If you want to find out what exactly is in my head, that's what I'm doing on my substack. So go check that out at TechTom.com. That's a great idea, everyone. Do what he said and do it now. Tom Merritt, everybody. we'll see you a little bit later on the show by now. Bye.

Okay. We did it. Some people have said, Scott, why not Spotify? Why not Apple Music? Why YouTube music? And my answer is simple. I get all the same music like all the new releases, albums, artists, back catalogs.

All that stuff is on there. It's a really good app too. I like the iOS app a lot. But the main reason that I did it is partly because it's a combined, you're paying for YouTube premium and it just comes with that. with the music. But the music app lets me play weird shit. You can't get anywhere.

For example, let's say you just want a 10-hour loop of Halo's intro. Uh-huh. It's on there as music. Like the same weird videos you can get, you can get them as music as well. Sure. So some of that ambient stuff,

like weird techno that nobody publishes anywhere but YouTube or whatever, remixes that kind of stuff. It all ends up on that app. I think it's great. Cool. Let's call the recommendals crew. At the very least, let's add them to this call. You know what I mean?

Like a proper show would do. If I can find everybody, there we go. Okay, we're bringing them in. We're warming up the old microphones. We've got this thing to play for them. Well, what do you recommend? Oh, let's recommend something cool, like some movies or streaming television. whatever it may be, here on our recommendal segment.

Welcome to the show, Nicole Spagg. Hi, Nicole. Hi. Hello. Hello. And Randy Jordan, of course. Hello, Randy. Good morning, morning stream.

My gosh, I was lagging far behind. I was like, have a minute behind. Oh, my gosh. When you called and then I heard what current is. Whoa. Hey. Hello. We're going.

Yeah, you got a busy week ahead of you. I'm really glad you were able to take some time out and hang out with us today. Yeah. Uh, uh, uh, uh, Shojo and husband are already in town. Oh, cool. This evening, all kinds of people getting in tonight, tomorrow, just going to be a lot of fun. Well, then I take it back. I was trying to think who else besides Tom I knew going this year, and I forgot, I forgot Sarah would go.

But of course she would go. Sarah's never known. You're giving me FOMO. I know. Among our friends, she's our, like, TikTok wow influencer. That's right. She's the person on TikTok that's pushing wow the hardest. Her TikTok is one of the, it's a.

delight. It's wonderful. It's because Sarah is so expressive. She's got this acting ability that I think was probably untapped. She should have spent some time in Hollywood. Yeah, she's really great. I'll miss seeing them.

Well, let's get to it. We got recommendals to do, and this is stuff on streaming services that we all like or enjoy. We're going to start with Brian and one of his clips. Brian, what do you got here? Yeah, mine is a newish series on Netflix. And in this clip, you're going to hear a couple

of uh london police officers chatting all right here we go this has to be off the record okay this does feel off the record look i've got enough baggage on my case i don't need more and if one word of this gets written down officially anyone i've ever sent down ever gets released because i'm headed straight for the funny farm it's a risk this is a safe space of sand just two off-duty cop was chewing cut shoot this is the john do on Long Harvest Lane. Hmm? Hmm?

And this is a front-page scoop accusing us lot of the cover-up of a murder on Long Harvest Lane in 1890. Same tattoo on both wrists that we also found on the brick. What is so wound up? This body, like the marking, was discovered one mile away from Long Harvest Lane in 1941. Holy shit.

Yes, exactly. Yeah, this is the show called Bodies. It's a mini-series about, it's a crime thriller about a body that turns up in exactly the same place in 1941, 2021, 2023, and 1890 and also 2053. You find that out

a little bit later in the first episode. But the same body with the same markings, the same tattoo, the same method of death turns up in all four locations and the rest of the series

is them trying to figure out why and also how you find out that this has been reported before. I did. Yeah, this is based on a DC vertigographic novel. I had no idea

after watching this. It wasn't until the last episode's closing credits that I saw, you know, based on blah, blah, blah, DC Vertigo. I'm like, really? Oh, that's kind of cool. Eight episodes, really, really good, thriller, really good acting. There might be some time travel involved. I was going to ask. Yeah. And I, you know, like you said, I've said this a million times. I'm fully committed to the fact that my theory on time travel while it eliminates the grandfather paradox becomes the most boring trope in movies if you execute it that way. So I've relaxed in the fact that, all right, yeah, that gun just is going to mysteriously still be brought to the cornfield in Looper, and it's fine, it's fine.

It still bothers me, but it's fine. So when I first saw the poster for this, I thought it was the time period piece, because there's a bunch of people in like old-ass clothes and whatever, but you're saying this. Well, technically, it's three period pieces. It's a future period piece and then an 1890 period piece and then a 1941 period piece. It does get resolved. They wrote this in a way that locks it down for a single season, a single limited series. I mean, it's even called a limited series.

It's not called a season one of anything. It wraps in the eighth episode. But it's got time travel in it, so that doesn't mean much, right? Because even if you kill off every character, you can always just go back in time and change that. Oh, exactly. They figured it out in one of the loops, and they changed it. The thing that it reminded me of the most was a show that I want to say was German called Dark. was on Netflix or is on Netflix.

Very similar in its style and execution. But obviously not going to give any spoilers about that. Stephanie asks, is it scary? Is it bloody? Are there nudes? Is it disturbing? No, no, yes, no. It looks really gory.

Oh, no, it's actually not that gory. But there are news. And it's, uh, I'm trying to think it's, it's, the, the, the body that gets discovered is a nude male. Um, and so there's a point where you do see some, some wean. Some man weaner. Sure. Um, I'm trying to think if there's any other nudity in there. It's, it's, it says here, it's rated TVMA for violence and gore. Oh, really? Wow. Violent maybe, but I didn't think it was that gory. Yeah. Interesting. And so this is. And so this is. is a, you said to DC Vertigo comic, how old is that comic? Is this a long time ago? And I don't know. Let me see. DC

Vertigo comic is the same name. Usually 2015. Oh, 15, thank you. Usually the Wikipedia article links to an article about the original thing, but in this case it didn't. Well, it's interesting because Gizmodo says the biggest show on Netflix right now, Bodies,

is based on a comic you can't buy anymore, which that sounds like. Oh, really? That's interesting. Yeah, usually you want to have this stuff available because you make a lot of side sailing and, you know, people go, oh, it's based on a re-release. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Raith 86 says maybe Brian is numb to gore.

I mean, obviously it's possible, but I'm remembering like key points of the story. And the person, the body when they get killed, there's a little bit of gore there. But that's kind of it. It's not that gory. It's maybe more violent, but... You think tipper... Tipper is numb to gore? Probably Tipper gore is numb to gore. Yeah, Tipper Gore is not... No, Al, no Tipper.

Nope. No, I mean, I feel like I feel like I'm still a point where I can recognize, and I'm repulsed by excessive gore. Thank you very much. Stephanie and the Rafe. But, yeah, no, I really enjoy this. I'm trying to think if there's anybody in here that you've seen before, The only person really is Greta Scotchie or Skokie, Scotchy, and she was in the player, and she was in that thriller with Tom Berringer in the 90s.

It was really good called Shattered, where someone has reconstructive surgery and, yeah. Yeah, that was good. That was really good. And it's a forgotten 90s thriller. Yeah. But, yeah, she's been in a lot of stuff that we've seen. here in America but everybody else lesser known here

in the States but sounds good everyone I've talked to has loved it you're like the fourth person I trust with reviews who said that it was good seems like it's my Jen. It's very compelling yeah I bet Kim would love it she loves British stuff

great good recommendation tick it out bodies on Netflix eight episodes about an hour long each Nicole from you today we have you want to do Randy next he has a hard. Oh, you have an out, don't you, Randy? Yeah, let's do that. Whoops, I started playing your thing by accident. Randy, let's throw it over to you. You have a hard out of, uh, that we all don't have. So explain to us what we have here with this clip. So I, I heard that

you're, uh, you're bringing one of the greatest films of all time. And I decided, I'll do that too. I'll try to find a, uh, a top 50 film to rewatch that's, uh, you know, and I did. And I rewatched it. And it's awesome. And, uh, uh, this is a movie. It's a 25 year old movie. And it's about a series of confrontations, which doesn't make it unique, but what makes it one of the best films of all time is that the confrontations serve a purpose, and that purpose is the examination of intellect and love, and how intellect can be love's biggest disruptor. Oh, man, here it is then. What aren't you scared of?

You live in the safe little world where no one challenges you, and you're scared shitless to do anything else because that's not going to be. Don't tell me about my world. Don't tell me about my world. I mean, you just want to have your little fling with, like, the guy from the other. side of town. Then you're going to go off to Stanford. You're going to marry some rich prick who your parents will approve of and just sit around with the other trust fund babies and talk about how you went slumming two once. Why are you saying this? What is your obsession with this money? My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money.

You don't think every day I wake up and I wish that I could give it back that I would give it back in a second if it meant I could have one more day with him. But I can't. And that's my life, and I deal with it. So don't put your shit on me when you're the one that's afraid. Ooh, you and I share an actor today. Yeah. And this is, and this film is a series of confrontations, but there's three big ones. And this is of the three big ones, the one I think people forget about.

And this is goodwill hunting. And almost every confrontation in the film is between Matthew Damon's character, the main character, Will Hunting. And someone else who is trying to. love him in a particular way. I've never heard of it called Matthew Damon before. I just wanted to... I like that. I like that. Yes, I like Matthew Damon.

Young Matthew Damon in his, uh, uh, he wrote the screenplay with, uh, Affleck. Benjamin Affleck. Benjamin Affleck. Ben Affleck in, in, uh, recent times has kind of talked about it as though he wrote the script and then Damon made some, you know, some addition, some edits. Oh, but it was like Affleck's idea, uh, or something like that. And of, and of course, originally Affleck was thinking about himself as the main character and realized that he needed the main character to be the prettiest person also, like, to be much more handsome than he was. And so, like, that's, you know, and Matt Damon also, like, crushes it in this movie. Like, he is, he is perfect for this.

Didn't he get an Oscar nomination? It didn't win, but a nomination, didn't he? I think he did. Yeah, several nominations. Yeah. I mean, there were a bunch of Oscars. can't remember. I know Robin Williams did, but I don't remember if Damon was nominated and won or just was nominated. I don't remember. If you haven't thought about this movie in a while, what might surprise you is that it was made by Gus Van Sant. And that was the big compromise. The studio didn't want just anyone directing this film because they didn't know Ben Affleck and Matt Damon from a hole in the wall. So they were kind of Gus Van Sant was kind of forced on them. And of course, I mean, Van Sant went on to make, you know, last milk and so on.

Like, he's, you know, absolutely a stellar director. And it's got a music by Danny Elfman. Did you, did you remember that? It's awesome. No, I don't remember that at all. I was about the time he started branching out and doing more than just your Tim Burton's and stuff. He started doing regular things. That sounds about right.

Yeah. And that's all my favorite stuff is. He's, his, like, straight, not straight, but his non-Batman. I mean, his non-quarky stuff is excellent, too. It's really good. My favorite stuff is always the quirky Tim Burtony kind of stuff. And of course, the reason to watch this is, of course, because you miss Robin Williams. Robin Williams is the pinch hitter character in this movie, the one who comes out from the side and has this massive impact on what all the characters are doing.

Like I say, it's a series of confrontations, though, and it all started with men. Affleck writing this confrontation between his character and Matt Damon's character, where he's had enough. And so there, you know, you might remember the confrontation scene between Robin Williams and Matt Damon or between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, but I wanted to remind you of this one with Mini Driver because it is awesome. There's this whole plot in this movie where Minnie Driver and Matt Damon are trying to love each other. And like I said, intellect can be, you know, a real contrary force to loving each other. And Stellan Scarsguard plays the mentor, and he has a confrontation with Matt Damon. It's just, it's a pretty intense movie. I love him.

So, yeah, and I kind of miss a mini driver. I mean, I know she's been doing stuff, but it's been less, like at that time, in the mid-90s, she was in everything, Gross Point Blank, Goodwill Hunting Hard Rain. she was in Golden Eye I had completely forgotten about that but she started moving more towards the indie stuff and I just miss seeing her in the big budget stuff as well

Did you watch Starstruck on HBO that I recommended? She plays the agent to the famous actor in that show. Oh really? Okay. Yeah.

I'll have to check that out. 2021. Oh, there she is, yeah. And we've talked about her TV show The Riches before with Eddie. is our just an awesome little like two seasons of you know dromedy back when there were all of these shows like that like uh what was the one about the drug dealer in the suburbs of l.A um gross point blank i don't know tv show tv series about uh a mom who started dealing weeds weeds oh weeds yes yeah weeds yeah just had to get to the word weed and then you were good you were all

I think Nicole needs to watch Gross Point Blank again, by the way. What is that movie about? Weird. He was also in a show where she had a disabled son. Yeah, it's speechless a few years ago. Yeah, ABC show where, yeah, she's the mom of a boy who's deaf mute, I believe. That was fun. I like that show.

It went to. Oh, no, he was, yeah, he was, that's right. He was cerebral palsy. that's correction um she has uh she'll always be jane from the animated tarzan for me i'm just putting it out there i liked her in that oh really she forgot that she did that but these was all right in a row like it was there was that then good or uh uh the next one a gross point blank happened in 97 then 98 this movie and like she was having a real moment in the late 90s anyway i love uh i love everybody everything you've said but i'm going to admit to the world here

I've never seen Goodwill Hunting. I don't know why. Oh, wow. I was just about to say, if you love movies at all, you've probably seen it, but you need to revisit it because it holds up so strong. Like every little scene in this film is still so intense, you know? Like it doesn't include anything that's like, Pass A, yeah. How you like them apples?

Well, and that's a thing. Like, you might remember that the film has a lot of. Ben Affleck and his real life brother, Casey Affleck, and these like, they're kind of an unintelligent gang. But I mean, that's like it holds up. It wasn't, I was ready to cringe, you know, but no, no, no. It holds up really, really well. These guys who are like day laborers and won't ever do any better in life.

It's portrayed really subtly, and it's nice. Nice. All right. Check it out. And it's on Max, you said? yes all right max doing the movie thing good over there at max these days say what you want about all the changes at max their movie selection has been pretty top tier oh it's it's top notch yeah uh all right let's throw it over to nicole now nicole you watched a documentary of sorts anything

you want to say before i play this um so i found this group when my kids were young and so I really enjoyed watching the documentary because I got to see kind of how it all started, kind of how forward-thinking they were when they approached their music. And it was just a really nice story. There are some dark moments to it,

which is kind of like, what? But, you know, people are people, right? And I cried. Of course, I cried, because I always do. Especially if you've had young kids you can see the impact that this band has had in so many people's lives. It was just a joy to watch. All right.

Well, let's check out the clip. Here you go. Well, we haven't seen the docket yet, so we're not sure. I'm guessing the whole thing is going to be amazing. What we've heard has been really amazing stuff. You know, the Wiggles are typically being depicted on television, and now you are depicted in a documentary form. What do you think it is that, Sal,

captured cinematically about you best in this film. I think, so last year we did a reunion tour where we played for young adults and they came out and filmed that and some of that is just like cinematically is quite stunning. I think they're kind of backstage with us and then we come out and the crowd and just the reaction. So I found that really affecting. Oh, the Australians. They're all over this thing.

Sorry I didn't send you a clip. I actually found one and I forgot to send it to you. So thanks for granted. No worries. So this is called Hot Potato, the story of the Wiggles. And they are a band. I just, like I said, I guess the generation that I experienced was the second phase of Wiggles. And I like them the most because that's when my kids were small.

But they've had a lot of ups and downs and a lot of health problems. and this is kind of the documentary that shows how they formed. It was three preschool teachers. They were all educated in childhood education and their friend, Jeff. I love it. What was Jeff? So the clip that I was going to send you is them talking about how Jeff really didn't know how to talk to kids. Oh, geez.

And he would say inappropriate things. And it was so funny because the thing with Jeff is they made him always sleeping. So he never really had to talk. Weird. But there's a whole song called Wake Up Jeff. And it stems from him not having the background of childhood education. They just kind of made him the guy that would sleep that wouldn't really talk. That's great.

But you have Murray who his, and when they first started out, they didn't, they didn't really have a plan. They just, they enjoyed performing for kids. They liked rock and roll music. A number of the members were in the, a rock and roll band called the Roaches, an Australian, an Australian band. Yeah. And what happened is one of the members, their daughter, I believe it is, died of SIDS. Oh, that's awesome. And so the band broke up and some of the members formed the Wiggles.

And so, and then that member that lost his daughter became their manager. Like, you get to see kind of the evolution of it and you kind of dive into. So the original wiggles, Jeff, Anthony, Murray, and the yellow wiggle. I always forget his name. They all look like ancillary Star Trek characters. So I always think the red guy is going to die first. I worry every time I watch that for the red shirt. But you get into, the reason why I have trouble with the yellow wiggle is because he, so I didn't know at the time.

I thought he had, oh, sorry, my headphones just dropped out. You're good. There was a lot of rumors and to why the yellow wiggle left. And I thought it was cancer, but because I watched the documentary, it wasn't. It was something else that he was having. No, it was, it's almost like pots. Have you ever heard of pots? Potts?

No. So it's when you, when you're sitting down or laying down and you stand up and then you pass out. Okay. So like his, his, like, blood pressure drop kind of thing. pressure drop kind of thing. And so he actually had to leave the wiggles for a period of time for about five years until he kind of figured out his diagnosis. And they replaced them with another yellow wiggle. And he did a period of singing. And then he and then Jeff came back. Or not Jeff, but the other one. The original yellow. The Peter Chris of the Wiggles basically. And then they kicked him out.

And so there's like, if you watch the documentary, they're so nice, but you can tell that there's more to the story. And they're just trying to be polite. And it's like, it's a little uncomfortable to watch because you're like, oh, I feel bad for the replacement yellow wiggle. And it's a whole thing. And then you get into the phase where I found the wiggles, which was when three of the original wiggles decided to retire. except for Anthony and Anthony shares his story of depression and mental health and kind of and so then you bring in the new wave of wiggles with Anthony including the first female wiggle and then you kind of see the kind of hate that she got it was so it's really interesting to watch

and to see how much they hated her as a wiggle but I love her she's really she was Emma, oh, she's just so wonderful. So I didn't discover, I mean, I knew about the wiggles. I discovered them more through covers because they were always on the Andrew Denton breakfast show in Australia. They did a cover of Walk on the Wild Side, which is not a, you know, family-friendly song. And they did. And they actually talk about the cover they did of Elephant. ACDC?

Oh, of Elephant. Oh, elephant. And apparently in Australia, like there's this top 100. And I won't give it away, but they, they did this cover and it was a big deal. And it was just recently, like 20, 21, 2022 that they did that. Yes. Exactly. Exactly.

So they did. So they've been doing some really kind of cool covers. And throughout the whole documentary, they have this sold out arena. I mean, it's a massive arena. And it's all adults that have grown up with them and shared. And that's when I cried because they kind of highlight certain. members in the audience and it's just it's just heartwarming and what's things started what like 93 their group 90 yeah it was like 92 something like that yeah that's a long run man i'm hanging i'm hanging on

your every word where you say like it's heartwarming that these guys are like together so because i just discovered the wiggles about nine minutes ago and i have been every picture that scott puts up and everything you're saying, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's not. There's a show you're recommending. It's because I'm used to Scott's recommending. Yeah, you're used to my dark documentaries. And then

something went real bad. As far as like the darkness of it, it's just life. You know, it's heart issues and the yellow wiggle almost dying on stage and how his friends come together and it's like why didn't people like the yellow

girl? What's wrong? It's just because she's a girl. Is that the problem? Yeah. That's what it was. Ghostbusters, the, you know, motions eight kind of thing where it's like, oh, they have to cater. That's lame. The the album they came out with last year called Re Wiggled. I forgot that they did a cover of

Fat Boy Slims Praise You. Oh, they did? Yeah. I got to find this. Maybe it's the Red Wiggle does the whole the whole audio thing where he goes, to praise you like I should. Red Wiggle, that is, if it's the newer wiggle, it's Simon. Yeah.

I love Simon. So, again, the second phase of Wiggles was Simon, Lockie, and Emma with the original way that goal, Anthony. Yeah. And there's even a new phase because Emma retired, Locky and Simon stayed. Anthony stayed, but then they added on new wiggles, including Anthony's daughter, and she's now a wiggle. And it's just... Do they have to add new shirt colors?

Like they had to invent new creatures for Kiss to be when they brought in new... I think they just have like, because Anthony's daughter is also blue, and Anthony is the blue wiggle. So you got purple, red, yellow. Okay. Was it a fox they brought in for the cat? Yeah, they brought in a fox. exactly Erica. Oh, yeah.

That was a rough time for Kiss. You're making it worse. Are they talking about something real right now? Are you making it worse? Listen. Can I just tell you, even though my kids are grown, we still watch the Halloween Wiggles special every year. We love it so much.

It's adorable. I think it's great. Listen, I don't know what's going on over in Australia, but their kids content, freaking top-notch. Bluey's amazing. This is amazing. Does Australia not know how to make bad children's television?

Because we're really good at it. We make all kinds of shitty television for kids. Oh, God, we do. Over there. I mean, maybe they got a whole bunch we don't hear about because this is the only two things that made it over. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I think the Pacific Ocean is vetting these things for us.

It must be. Well, that's great. They actually talk about when they come to the U.S. too, and then when 9-11 happens. just heartwarming. If you want to just see a very heartwarming story, watch the documentary. Hot potato. Hot potato available now on Prime, right? Amazon Prime video? Yep. Yep, that's where it's at. All right. DJ Stangle says there's no green wiggle because of green screen. For whatever reason, was there a SNL skit where they were doing a kids show and they didn't realize that one of the,

it was like a parody of the wiggles and they didn't realize one of the people, one of the players' shirts match the green screen color. And it was just this head. floating and it was making freaking the kids out basically because am I I don't know why that sounds familiar to me too and I don't even watch

SNL anymore I don't know where I saw that saw it somewhere yeah I think they're super familiar yeah well can I just say that Lucky Phil in the chat said that Emma and the purple winkle which is Locky they actually did get married while they were Wiggles and then they a few years later

broke up and I wanted to cry when Locky was talking about it because you can tell he kind of still loves her and it was just it's like but they're so nice and they don't want to go into it and I don't blame them they still perform together right it's all good yes they did they still performed until she retired oh she retired went on yeah yeah she so she left I have to admit I have zero history of any of these guys I just know they existed I can't believe how much I know I know you know so you're an expert I'm coming to you with my Wiggles questions. This is fantastic.

All right, go check that out. That's on Prime. Guess what? I was also on Prime this week and I watched, Randy alluded to it, but I watched one of my favorite films of all time because I got in a mood and it was great. And I also had something that got fixed for me this time, viewing it. I think it's my third watching.

Anyway, here's the clip. We'll talk about it. And it leads where another galaxy? Our wormhole's not a naturally occurring phenomenon. Someone placed it there. They? And whoever they are, they appear to be looking out for us. That wormhole lets us travel to other stars.

Came along right as we needed it. They've put potentially habitable worlds right within our reach. Twelve, in fact, from our initial probes. You sent probes into that? We sent people into it. We sent people into there. I've got to go. I just want to say you win.

I win, right? I win. Between our two movies and our two movies, Interstellar is definitely the one that I want to watch the most. We share at least two actors in here, so we got Matt Damon and Casey Affleck so in a way we were watching

sister, we were sister movies, you and I this week. Sister movies Yeah, it's like a 9.9 for me. I always dock it 0.1 points because of the repeated use of the word MIRF. There is a lot of MIRF. You're not wrong. MIRF comes up a lot in that movie.

It's fine, but it comes up lot it's the daughter's name uh randy i have a fantastic one uh thanks for making for this and we'll see you later okay so there goes randy into the weeds let me tell you why i love interstellar um i don't think it's a it's not like a you know this isn't unique everybody likes that movie i think to some degree i loved it it's an amazing movie it's it deals with so many great themes it's one of christopher nolan's best um my first watching of it and maybe a little bit of my second And I was then annoyed with the robot design. I know this is a total nitpicky thing.

But that weird blocky robot bugged me in the first two viewings. And I just thought, well, all of this is very cool and very believable. And for some reason, this doesn't work for me. And I didn't know why. Why would science invent a robot that can't walk on an uneven surface? Exactly. It just seemed so crazy. But something happened with this watching where I came around on it.

And by the time it ended, I went, you know what? I don't want that to be any different. I want that robot. I forgot its name. Lars or Jules or something like that. It's like a four-letter. It's like a science name. Yeah.

I can't remember. I just watched it. I don't know what's wrong with me. But anyway. Somebody will get it to us. It is as good as it was. Tars. Tars.

That's it. It's multiple K blanchets in there. Anyway, it's very, very good as you would expect. I know I'm talking to the choir. I hear most people listening and are probably, you know, big fans of that movie. But it is worth revisiting. I don't feel like it's aging at all. It came out in 2014.

It feels like it came out this year. It's been weird. Some of the best Matthew McConaughey acting when he's watching the messages. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he really goes into it. And there's a lot of this, a lot of his performance is very McConaughey. You heard it in that clip. It's very, I don't know what that means, you know, just kind of that drawl thing he does.

but it works for this character it works for the relationship with his family his daughter in particular that holds up really well I forgot that the kid until this viewing his son when he's young before he's Casey Affleck

is played by the Dune Kid Oh Timite Chalame Timote Chalame is in there Not mispronounced at all by the way That's exactly right Timote Chalame Yeah it's exactly right

And the daughter is all grown up now I forgot her name but she's been in other stuff we've seen here recently. Jessica. Not Chastain, the young one. Oh, you're talking about the original daughter, the young daughter. Yeah, the young one. I cannot remember her name.

But Chastain's great. Yeah. Michael Cain is great, as he always is. And also in every Nolan movie, he just shows up. That's just his deal. Yeah. And what else can I say? I just love it.

There's the stuff they deal with, the whole relativity time stuff is all based on actual theory and astrophysics and I love that about it. They take liberty with some of it because obviously we don't know some of these answers until we would get there or test out the theories.

Very much fits with the Brian Cox stuff that you've been sharing lately. Yeah, big time. I think that's actually what spawned me to start just like soaking all that stuff up because I was so, the movie handles that so well. And then has such an emotional thing at the end, you know, this whole

concept that love is a quantifiable energy is an interesting idea and they really explore that and they handle the time differences so well oh my gosh it's so good and the music's incredible it's just an incredible movie and i love it so interstellar available on amazon prime still i think i think it was almost it was over a week it's over a week it's over a left today okay i hope it didn't i don't know oh yeah good point definitely worth watching again though it's very very good Mackenzie Foy, that's, oh, no, not Claire Foy, I was thinking Claire Foy. McKenzie Foy, what do we know McKenzie Foy from? I don't know.

She's the young, the young Murph. They're not related, or they maybe they are. They easily could be. I mean, you know, with movies like this, though, I tend to see certain scenes. So the scene where he sees, like, the spinning, like the way that the kids were playing back with the baseball or something like how the planet rotates. I get such a vertigo so easily. I'm like, I would be putting my guts out all the time. You're seeing this in IMAX.

I'm like, oh, how does anyone survive that has vertigo? I was watching the thing the other day where this Brian Cox guy was talking about how if you take a regular tennis ball and you bounce it on the floor, if I had one here, I'd do it. But you bounce it on the floor. And let's say that takes a whole second to go down, hit the floor and come up and go back to your hand. and you're really good about where to release it and when to catch it. But in reality, that ball traveled that direction horizontally about 18 miles in that second. Right, right. So did you, so did everything else.

Yeah. But it's this relativity thing and also really screws with the idea that if we could teleport or transport, it's all left up. It's not so simple. Right. Like, yeah. All right. I'm going back in time six months. in the cold in the cold's version of that world everyone's puking and uh brian and i are like locked into some

cement wall because we miscalculated the coordinates exactly yes it's crazy stuff but this movie does a really good job of being both human and emotional and dealing with really you know basic story emotional yeah but also like very mind expanding and takes you to places you weren't expecting Yes, Nicole, sorry. The discussion about Christmas every day when he's talking, when they're talking about the dust storms and like how when he was growing up, it was like a new release of a phone. Like I think about that and how poignant it is. And I don't know. Yeah.

It's a little. You know what's stuck with this time too is the, I mean, the world's obviously in a bunch of trouble. they can only corn is the only crop that will grow properly and even that's starting to die out so there's that whole thing so there's an apocalyptic side to this entire story but there's a part where he's in school as daughters teachers talking about how they you can no longer teach that we were that we landed on the moon because too many people are sure it was a hoax or something to that effect and that one really hit me this time because there are a lot of people think a lot of really stupid shit now and in 2014 i probably went, that's weird. That's an interesting idea. But now it feels too close, feels like people

would believe some weird shit like that and start literally saying, well, we can't, we can't talk about moon landings in school. There's too many people that think that we faked it. And I just kind of went, oh my gosh, hurry up and get to the future and fix this. God, exactly. Oh. Those people piss me off. Yeah, we get to the future and find out it's worse. That's, that's basically with the part I dread. Yeah, it's pretty gnarly. But anyway, and then that whole, like, the base he wakes up on, on what it was on a moon, outside of Venus or something, whatever it was, with the big circular, you know,

like their pastures, but they curve up and go around. Like his vision of the future, it's so cool. So cool. Anyway, it's like he did that. It's like he folded the world in Inception and then liked it so much he had to do it again. You know? Anyway, that's the movie.

It's on Prime. And all of these are on quicktms. L.I for your perusal. So go check those out. Nicole, anything else going on before we cut you away? Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. Enjoy your day, guys. Nothing at all.

Happy day after Halloween. Check your candy for razor blades. All right. That'll do it for that. Well done, everyone. Fun one today. Yeah, Tristan ended up when he was a kid, he ended up getting a Snickers bar that had a razor scooter in it. It was just horrible.

Oh, parents, check the candy today for razor scooters. Yeah, check for razor scooters. I know they're in there, and you don't want to be caught with that in your gullet. Brian, we got a text for you. real quick before we end things. Yeah. Oh, is it for me because that spelling of my last name really throws it off. Throws me off.

E, I, B, B, I, B, I, T. Yeah. Yeah. Like, it's Ibb information technology. It's how that goes. Exactly. Look, people know how to spell Abbott, right? It's on all those COVID tests.

Just replaced the first A with an I, and you've got it. Yeah, it's not so bad. Anyway, this is written by, doesn't say. I didn't give a name. David Addison imitation reminded me, and this is talking about yours. Your David Addison impression and remind me of something he might want to see, meaning you.

In the final season of Riptide, they poke some fun at their time slot competitor, moonlighting. In one of the last episodes called If you can't beat him, join them. The premise is that Riptide detectives are asked to allow two actors to shadow them as research

for a detective TV show. The script and guest actors do a phenomenal job parroting moonlighting. Richard Green does a spot-on imitation of David Addison. Hope Brian checks it out and enjoys. That's cool. I looked for it pre-show

I saw this and I'm like oh let me see if I can find it maybe we can have a clip but couldn't find one but I'm gonna seek that out and watch it the episode that I watched a couple I guess it was last night

was the Christmas episode where they basically just as every as every show tends to do the longer they're on they're guaranteed to do and it's a wonderful life thing where well let's see

what if the so-and-so never existed and this is what if Maddie never reopened like instead of closing uh or keeping blue moon detective agency open in that first episode if she would have closed it was it good and uh it's one of it usually uh it's it's a tropey as hell but the funny thing is she shows up at what used to be the blue moon detective agency and another investigations company has taken over the space and uh it's it's heart detective agency and you see their their former driver that guy

heart to heart you know when they met it was mighta and he's he's carrying freeway the dog through the through the place and they both look at each other and go wait a minute are you and then they and then they cut away but it's it was that whole third season where they broke the fourth wall every five minutes in that thing my mom loved heart to heart did she loved it and i I watched it. Did you really? I really disliked it, but I really watched it. I'm going to be honest, I watched it for Stephanie Powers.

I had such a thing for Stephanie Powers. I don't know what it is about, you know, her. There's a little Raquel Welch in there, red-headed. Yeah. Yeah, she was cool. I liked her. The other guy, though, who killed Natalie Wood, or everyone. Yeah, Richard Wagner.

Richard. Robert Wagner. He used to drive me crazy. And then someone told me once, well, we think he's the one that killed Natalie. would on that boat that day and I went yeah and Christopher Walken saw it and he hasn't said anything what's the deal come on there walking I don't know

Quiet man walking That's what's going on there There you go Send us a text everybody We love to hear from you 801-471-0462 And you can also leave a voicemail at the same line So please do that You can also email us

The morning stream at gmail.com Yes Brian Oh I was going to say One more thing to say I didn't put this in the list But Tristan bought a car yesterday He's got a brand new not brand new, new to him. Audi TT.

Ooh, fancy. Very nice coupe car, and which means that he's not going to be responsible for shuttling everybody around anymore, or at least he'll be able to shuttle one person, most likely his girlfriend around place to place, but probably not everybody, all of his roommates, as he was before. That's a nice little car. Look at this thing.

It is, yeah. What color did he get? You know, I haven't seen it yet. I don't know. I think it's black or dark blue. You look at that thing, you guys Yeah These look expensive

They must not be too bad How what year do you get 2017, 2018 I think That's great Yeah Yeah This looks awesome

Is it it's a coop You say It's not a Yeah it's coop Not a convertible But Yeah that car is sexy Yeah it is
