The morning stream, monkey, monkey, wannabe. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is Monday, December 4th, 2023. I am Scott, and that is Brian. Hi, hi, Brian. Hello, Scott. Boy, Jack Palance, never noticed the, uh,

I don't need some fancy cologne to tell me I'm a band. He's like, it's like a little sniff gulp. Yeah, I think that was toward the bitter end there. That's right. Yeah, they could see him doing that between each one-armed push-up. Yeah, kind of a, I don't know, he's one of those guys that was so weird that when he died, I felt more remorse when Jack Palance died than I have.

for almost anybody else in Hollywood of that era because the only real connection I have to him is that A, he's weird and B, he did that weird, that audio thing we love where he's in the doing commercial reads and getting all pissed at the Oh, yes, I'm not going to read it

the way you want me to read it. Exactly. Then he's out there doing one hand or one arm push-ups. That guy was a singular weirdo. Yeah, of course city slicker is just great. Yeah, he's awesome. Who was in the sequel? Who was his brother who played

Because it was Curly, right? Legend of Curly's Gold. And then his brother was the one who took everybody to... I don't remember who played him, though. Oh, my gosh. Have I even seen that sequel? I might not have seen it. Trying to see if I've got the Jack Palance.

Oh, I don't have the Jack Palance audio on my computer. I've got like two or three CDs of those audio clips of celebrities behaving badly. and it's like, you know, it's Jack Palance yelling at the dude. It's, um, who's, uh, Spartacus, the NRA guy, uh, oh my gosh. Kirk, uh, Kirk Douglas? Yeah, not Kirk Douglas, uh, um, oh, yeah, that's right, Kirk Douglas was Spartacus, the other guy. Oh, um, I don't know. NRA dude.

Oh, oh, uh, Charlton Heston, Heston. Heston, thank you, geez, Louise. Charlton Heston yelling at somebody. Yeah, these are all from that era, though. These are all those guys, right? Casey Kasem, bitching about a doggie death dedication. Yeah. Linda McCartney's horrible singing when just her microphone is on during the end of Hey Jude.

Oh, right. Oh, right. So much good stuff on those CDs. Those are great. By the way, here's a little palance from the past. So let's do this thing. That's the one where he's like, I want to get this over with. I'm not going to say it the way you want me to say it.

I'm going to say it the only way I know how, which is the way I'm going to say it. So let's do this thing. So we can both get out of here while we're both alive or something like that. Yeah, he's great. He's a great, grumpy old Hollywood type. And if you haven't heard that, everybody seek it out. Yeah. Okay, a couple of quick things.

You know, it's a new month, obviously. Oh, Jack Palance, by the way, Jack Palin's played the brother in the sequel to City Slick. He played himself. He was twin brothers, yeah. Oh, see, I don't think I saw a sequel. I knew there was something. I couldn't put my finger on either of something goofy. I have a strong memory that that sequel was bad, and nobody liked it, so I didn't go.

I just avoided it. Yeah, that's actually it. I don't think I ever saw it. So, yeah, but there's no way it's good. There's no chance. People talk about how reviewers, you know, curve the going audience today. It was not that different back then. We'd hear about stuff from, I don't know, Ebert and What's His Bucket and the other guy.

Anyway, these famous reviewers would say things and they'd go, yeah, it's a bad movie. And we would not go because of it. We'd still be swayed, you know? Yeah. Oh, we totally would. Back then, because you had like four reviewers, two reviewers that you trusted. It was Siskel and Ebert for me. I was watching those guys.

And if they didn't like a thing, I probably wouldn't have gone to see it. And now you've got, you know, thousands of reviewers, some actually accredited writers, some just idiots. Just noops. And, boys, Wednesday, boys, my recommendal on Wednesday going to showcase that. Oh, really? There are people on Rotten Tomatoes who hate the movie that I'm recommending just because it is one of these things that takes place in one location, kind of like breakfast club, right? so these reviewers basically would bitch about it like oh they never left the detention room it totally sucked

man I don't know how much money it cost to make this piece of crap but they never left that that school god dumb well what's the point of but there's so many great movies that are like that exactly better take place in one location in one room or one exactly yeah about the movie room that one's real good for the most part yes it takes place in a single room Not the room.

Not the room. Yeah, forget about that. You know. There may be a part, Lisa. Oh, hi, Mark. Yeah, that's actually kind of filmmaking. I enjoy. I like it.

It's claustrophobic and interesting. And, man, this album, this movie, it's an album, Scott. It's like a track after track of great acting. Sure. This movie is, I'm excited to talk about it because it falls. on the shoulders of one actor who does, I think, an incredible job of relaying an entire story, of basically doing entire story with a bunch of voice actors. Wow.

It's really good. Okay. I have zero idea what this is, so I'm actually really stoked to hear about it. Yeah. Cool. Okay. So a couple things. Before I get to the elephant in the room, let's talk about this whole brewer's thing. Luke and Boulder in Colorado, we hear from him all the time.

Yeah, we're going to ease in a little bit, okay? good because I was wondering about this too. So all right. All right. So Luke says on today's episode, Scott said he went to Wisconsin to watch Brewers games back when they were the Brewers. I need more information on what the Brewers are now. Shout out to my Arizona Diamondbacks who beat the Brewers in the playoffs this year. I used to live in Arizona and I'm still partial to most Arizona teams. Well, Luke, I made the mistake of thinking that the Brewers had left or they changed names or was sold and a new team was there or they had no team at all.

And this tells you how closely I follow regular baseball. because I thought they were gone. I don't know why I thought that, but I did. So every time I, and I bring this story up a lot, not just on shows, but like in just personal conversations or people are like, have you ever been to Wisconsin? Yeah, I saw a Brewer's game back when they had, you know, back when they were playing.

And people kind of look at me funny, but I've never questioned it. Oh, really? So this isn't the first time you've even said that. How funny. Yeah. So Luke, you're responsible for me finally going, oh, shit, they're still playing?

They're still playing and made it to the playoffs at least. Yeah, I don't really follow. you know, it's funny because I've seen that Ken Burns baseball documentary, which is 18 hours long plus, I've seen it, I think, four times now total. I love it. Absolutely love it. But I'm more in love with the lore and the vibe of baseball than I am following the current season stuff.

Each individual teams and stuff like that. Yeah, I don't care about it. Yeah, of course. But I love the institution of it. It's a fun thing to follow and learn about it. But yeah, I I stand corrected. The brewers are alive and well and actually did okay this year. The story about the brewer's demise has been greatly exaggerated.

Yes. Listen, as someone who's made the mistake of thinking something and saying it out loud on this show and to be told that I'm wrong, that it's, you know, it happens and that's just what we do. And the Seattle, okay, so I'm going to

see if I can blow this. Okay. The Seattle, what were they before? You don't want to end on a win. Okay. No, I want to screw this up as much as I can. So Seattle had an NBA team, and they were called the Seattle Super Sonics. That's correct.

Yep. They are not there anymore, and they have no replacement team, correct? There's no other team. I believe that's correct. I don't think there is another basketball franchise in Seattle. I think they just straight up lost it. Or sold it. I think so.

Yeah, that I'm pretty sure you're right. Okay. And I can tell, so there's a win. I could tell you that the jazz are from New Orleans originally. Win number two? That's an easy one. Okay, good. What's another one?

So after saying, you know, there was the one thing you didn't know, you're going to tell us the five things you do know about sport. Okay, all right. Michael Jordan was very good. Uh-huh, good. Larry Bird looks like your mailman, but he's really good. and here's a fun piece of sports trivia goat stands for greatest of all time

yeah yeah make a note of that yeah make a note of goat that's got periods in it though it's a initialism in this case it's an acronym or acronym because it spells something right because it spells something yeah I always get them mixed up man always yeah so an acronym is like

FBI's in initialism because you can't say it is an acronym Oh, I didn't know Sonar was short for something. What's it short for? I think so. Isn't it Sonic? Because radar is, uh, all right. No, this might be Brian, uh.

No, this is good. I want to learn. I like learning. Hold on a second. Hold on. It is an acronym, isn't it? Sound navigation and ranging. Yes, thank you.

Jeez, Louise. Okay. Um. And radar is a, uh, radar O. Riley is what that stands for. Radar Radio location system using radio ways Is it short for something, though?

Yeah. Looks like radar is not, according to this. Oh, really? Well, radio detection and ranging. How's it? Oh. VRA from radio. Oh, D from detection.

They keep the A for radio in there? I guess to spell something out. Henry, because otherwise it'd be Ardar. Ardar. Ardar. Ardar. All right. Well, I learned two new things today. That feels good. I'd learn three new things today. I'd learn the brewers still exist.

Plus those two other science things. This is fantastic. And here's another thing. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a belly button. There you go. Now you've learned five new things. Wait a minute. Is that true? Yeah, it's true. What happened? Was it like Wendy's boy Peter with his guts on the outside? I have no idea. Because there's only really two ways to do it. One.

Alfred Hitchcock, his belly button disappeared when he was sewn up after surgery. Oh, well, that's fine. That's a great response. Oh, well, that's fine. That's fine. In my head, I was like, well, he's either cloned, which didn't happen back then, or he did like Peter. Although even Peter had a weird scar. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm sure Alfred Hitchcock had a weird scar too. Yeah, he probably did. Probably had a number of weird scars that none of us want to know about. All right, elephant in the room, sitting there like a big... Let's get it out of the way. Big fat, big fat gray elephant just sitting there in the room staring at everybody. The Furiosa trailer dropped.

I didn't know what was actually happening. I didn't know that was coming. So hit me kind of all at once. And it was while we were starting core. So people in the pre-show for core got to see my live reaction to it. I have now seen it probably anywhere between 25 and 30 times. Some of the other people, probably five of those with other people. The rest are me just over-scrutinizing and analyzing it.

To say I'm excited as an understatement. I'm very excited. And what I love the most, I knew Hems Earth was in this. Nobody knew what he was going to be or what his deal is. Turns out he is a character called Dementis. And he looks suitably Wackadoo. Today I learned that there wasn't already a character in Fury Road called Dementus. If you would have asked me a week ago, was there a character in Fury Road called Dementis?

I would have said, oh, of course there is. Yeah, absolutely. The only theory I had going into this is that maybe he was Scrotus, which is one of Immorton Joe's sons that you don't hear about in Fury Road, but he is in the video game. And he's canon. He exists as one of his, but he's like a rogue son. He didn't like what his dad was up to and left and started. his own warlord business so he's the big

business cards yeah his cards you know webinars all that kind of stuff right good yeah but uh leaked in profile yeah

but he's in uh he's in scrotus is in that and scrotus is the big bad and that he's great very cool character so I kind of thought well is this like the beginning of scrotus or something nope it's a character named dementis don't know much else about him except we know

at some point they go they are in and go to the bullet farm very excited to explore whatever the hell that is. Sure. Yeah, we see that big old avalanche of bullets. Yep. Washing over him. And I think Anya Taylor Joy looks perfect for the young Furiosa world. She looks great.

She looks great, yeah. She looks really good. The minute she starts smearing axle grease on her head, I'm like, yep, we're in, we're going. Let's do this. I'm so excited, you guys, I can barely handle it. As you probably all predicted, I'm losing it. So here's the question. When does the movie come out? May, May 24th. Oh, boy. I know. It's a while. We got five months or so. Five months of six months of this stuff going on. Six months. You're going to have to deal with me in Vegas before this happens. Oh, my God. No kidding. Even Kim goes. Kim goes, is it come out the Vegas weekend? That would be amazing. I'm like. That would be really cool to see it in a big group like that. No kidding. You kidding me. I'm so excited. Anyway, so it's happening. There's still time due to figure out if you can, if you do like a little get-together,

or do you want the initial watching of it to not have any distractions of other, like, tadpullers and stuff, you just want to let that first viewing wash over you. No, in fact, what I would like to do, and we talked about this as well, so you know how in the pandemic you could get a theater for like $150. Yeah, you still can, yeah. Are they that cheap? AMC needs that influx right now. But have they gone up in price, I assume they have. There's no way it's still $150, right?

I'm sure. And it was only 150 if you were cool watching something that they happen to have on VHS, right? It was basically like, oh, under siege two? Yeah, 150 bucks. Show it to all your friends in the theater. Yeah, it appears that we're going to pay more if we do this. But I'm thinking I might rent a theater, figure it out a way, get a bunch of tadpoolers, locals out there, watch this thing in a big group. Because I would rather watch it with them than with strangers.

Sure, you know, a bunch of puds in there. If you do it, I'll come out for that. Oh, my gosh. Do you guys hear it? You heard it here first. Brian will be here. I'll be there. Maybe we will.

I'll see if I can get, basically I'll do lift rides all the way to the Utah border. Oh, I love it. Somebody needs to go to Grand Junction and then somebody needs to go to. Green River. Get them out the Green River. Moab, maybe. Stop off. Well, no.

Once I cross the border, I'm not allowed to lift. I can only lift in the state in which my driver's license is. Is that true? I didn't know that. Yeah, his license. Yeah, because I thought it would be fun. If I could have done it, one week of lifting in Vegas and stories to tell on TMS about it. Interesting.

I didn't know. I thought that would be a thing where you can't do unless I have a go anywhere. Las Vegas driver's license, or I mean a Nevada driver's license. I figured it was like my dumb marriage thing I can do. I can do marriages in any state that allows for it except Vegas or Nevada. Nevada is the only weird one because they have. That's the only, oh, that's so weird. Yeah, well, it's because they have their own local booming.

Yeah, it competes against. That's all of the, sure, sure. Yeah, I can't fight against that. That's Big Vegas. That's Big Vegas. It's Big Wedding. That's right. Nobody can fight Big Wedding.

All right. Let's, oh, you have a story. I'd like to hear this story. Oh, yeah. Tina, so we're watching S&L Saturday night because it's Saturday night, and so we're watching it live on Saturday night. Right. And we, you know, Tina loves weekend update.

That's about, unless there's a really good skit. I mean, she likes the please don't destroy. guys, so if they have a really good pre-recorded thing, and their thing this week was fantastic. It was really funny. But we'll always catch update, because it's almost always guaranteed laughs.

And they get to the story that we talked about here on TMS, which is the guy who took all his clothes off and started walking around naked, climbed out of the boats, and it's a small world at Disneyland, and started walking around naked. Right. And we're watching this, and the story comes on, she's like, oh my God.

And I said, I know, I saw the video of this guy, we talked about on TMS and we pulled up TikToks the people who posted or videos of it. She's like, wow, I bet he got 69ed right out of Disneyland. And without missing a beat, without laughing, I just said, no, 86th. And then I said, do you mind if I told this story on TMS? She's like, that's fine.

It's like the leopard thing. It's the leopard thing. Or not leopard, wasn't he a cheetah? And you said, he's a, He's a cheetah scott. He's a cheetah Scott. Same tone. I love it.

That's right. That's perfect. So, I don't know. Maybe, you know, maybe Disneyland does have a different way of dealing with folks who do this sort of thing. And they get 69ed right out of Disneyland. I don't know. I feel like it would be a little emasculating to do it in a small world. You know what I mean?

Why it makes everything look bigger. Oh, that's a good point. Yeah. It's all like little tiny, small. Oh, I'm a giant. I'm a huge man. Weiner. Look at all these tiny bees. Nothing small about this world.

Look at my huge world. Yeah, I think it's a little, it's a little more disappointing in Pirates of the Caribbean or Hunted Mansion. Yeah. A haunted mansion, dude. Can you imagine a guy running around between those mirrors where they do the ghosts and stuff? Like shaking. I could do like, what's his name on a mirror, though, I guess. Yes, or not a mirror, but one of those glass things.

I assume that's how I'm seeing ghosts in that one space. Yeah, it's the, oh, God, there's the name of the effect. Basically, it's a really well-lit area with all the people dancing in it, with a piece of glass that is reflecting the bright people below. It's basically taking place directly under where the cars go. Right. And I can't remember the, there's a, it's like, Pepper's Ghost. Thank you, Bobby Franklin.

Pepper's Ghost. Pepper's Ghost. And basically you're looking at a reflection. You're seeing the reflection of those lit up ghosts through the glass superimposed over where they're supposed to be dancing. And because the perspective of you moving is over the top of where they are, they look to stay positioned where they are as you go by, which is an amazing effect. Yeah, I've never heard of it before. It's named after English scientist John Henry Pepper. John Henry ghost

Yeah John That'd be great for his ghost He just liked pepper That's where that came from He just liked pepper Yeah Yeah Let's see

He perfected this technique Between 1821 and 1900 Populized the effect Oh no that was his age That's where he lived Oh gotcha okay He died in 1990 Or 1900

The effect with the theater demonstration In 1862 And launched an international Vogue for ghost-themed plays that used the novel stage effect in the 1860s and subsequent decades. Yeah. Look at that guy. Well done, Pepper.

You did it. Yeah, Sean Bluby says, I think there's a behind-the-scenes thing on Disney plus for the attractions at Disney. Yes, and it's called Behind the Attraction. Is that right? Behind the attraction. And it's really, really good.

It's fascinating stuff. And I love Paget Brewster. I think she's great, but her narration is a little over-the-time. top, they try to be really like, um, zany and it, and it just, it, it drives me nuts at times. I don't like zany. Because she'll respond. She basically, they have these interviews with all the, the, the guys, like, who created all the rides

and all, and came up with all the, the innovations and stuff like that. And she'll say, you know, say, and then Walt Disney created, and then they cut to a video Walt Disney going, Epcot. Epcot. Epcot. What the heck is that? And then another guy will say, the experimental community. of tomorrow or prototype community

of tomorrow. Oh, that clears it up and it's like, oh, yeah, no, no, none of this. Yeah, I don't like this, I don't like this method of everything else I love about the, uh, that, that, uh, show. Because I'm fascinated by the inner workings of, of rides. Yeah. Do you think that guy, you think that we've even thought about this,

when we named the pepper ghost pepper? Yeah. Do you think we thought about pepper's ghost and the ghost pepper? Yeah. Because when you, if you eat enough ghost peppers, you Start seeing the Pepper's Ghost Illusion. Don't do it. It's like saying Candyman four times, three times, however many.

Oh, gosh, no. Hold on, Candyman was three times or five times? Candyman's five, Beetlejuice is three. That's right. Tony Todd's birthday today. There's a reason they brought that up, yeah. And how many times do you say happy birthday and the song, happy birthday to you, have birthday to you, have birthday to you, have birthday, so just four times. So if you say, happy birthday, Candyman, happy birthday, candy man, happy birthday, dear Candyman, happy birthday, candy man, happy birthday, dear Candyman, happy birthday,

Candyman, that's still only four times. And you're good. And if you never say Candyman again. Oh, shit. Exactly. And many more Candy Man. There's bees in his mouth. Oh, no.

Help. We're going to play a game. We're going to play this music. Not that one. This one. Whoa. Play twice. Hey, look at it.

Zero, pal, Brian Dunaway, joining us for the morning half-asses. Good morning, Brian. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Hi. It's nice to have you here. How are you feeling? What's your Monday like? Oh, it's so good. I feel like I haven't talked to you guys since yesterday. Oh, that's right. Oh, it's so true. It makes me want to slow motion yell, bright, and you think it's fun. Oh, you should keep that clip. It's kind of funny. Yeah, you should use it to intro.

major spoilers, Scott. All right. I think it's fine. I think I may have tossed it. I'll have to look. Oh my gosh. That quickly? No,

I might still have it. I get rid of it. I keep some that are like, you know, good. That one's not good. It's kind of dumb. It's a good one.

It just pisses you up. I think it's a good one to introduce Stephen. Yeah. I might use it today. Scott's got no space for for nonsense. He does like a clean hard drive.

I've noticed that about the folder that we share in Dropbox. He'll go through and like burn out. from space kind of I'll usually what I'll do is it if there's stuff I want

I'll keep it and then if it's stuff I don't want I try to like I was going through these my podcast files yesterday doing a whole ton of clean out and I keep all the shows threads yeah I keep all the shows it's just that I know I have some duplicates in there

and things like that so I went to found the dupes and got rid of those but I was a little bit shocked how how there's too many like I feel like there's nearly 10,000 files that are shows. Full shows. Average hour plus, it's probably average an hour and a half. TMS is an hour and a half on its own.

Cores like three hours. And I realized, I'm way over the 10,000 rule that, uh, what does Bucket always talks about? Um, uh, who wrote those books? Shit. Oh, to be an expert is something to be, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm an expert now? I must be an expert now because according to, uh, what was his name? It just went past my head. like Dwayne Malcolm Gladwell it's not Dwayne at all what am I doing I can't believe I said Dwayne the rock gladwell anyway uh Brian it's good to have you here we're gonna play a game uh oh I got to log in that'd be good for me to do you got to log in oh yeah

the rate the 86 says I kind of hope Brian would do prodigy fire starter for back draft you know what I didn't think that's nice that would have been a good one um the one I thought about this morning that I could have used was uh we didn't start the fire by billy Joel and just do stuff like on the roof kid with hat da da da da da da da da da da da da da right ax man started the fire

he's always burned yeah burn and when the world was turned and that's exactly the lyrics we haven't messed it was too it was too on the nose right it was a little bit not like not like fire isn't right on the nose yeah yeah good point all right well I would have enjoyed it with like a reverse

Mohawk doing some fire starter you know like waving in his head prodigy style weird I love those guys. I miss them. Smack my bitch up. All right. Give us a thing.

Give us a deal. Game. Tell us a game. Yeah. Welcome to the morning. Halfass is a trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving the two of you the answers.

I'm going to give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers, three of which are correct. And three of them, like my impersonation of that dude from Prodigy, rest of soul, are incorrect.

Depending on how confident you feel with the category, you can provide one, two or three guesses. But if any of those guesses are wrong, you get zero points for that round. Get one right, gets you a point. Get two right, gets you three points,

and get all three correct, and you'll get five points. Play with the most points after three rounds, wins the prize for their contestant, and we're pulling contestants from members of the Tadpool that aren't able to be here live. Scott, you're playing for Kirk Reinhardt, a.k.a. centrifuge in Portland, Oregon.

Sweet. And then going to the other side of the country, Brian, you're going to be playing for Doug in Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Oh, yes, Doug. Doug in Philly. I'd watch a buddy cop movie with Reinhort and Doug. Reinhardt.

My favorite, my favorite Doug of all time, I believe, is it from the state? I'm Doug and I'm out of here. I don't remember that. Is that a thing? I don't remember that. I don't remember that either, but that sounds awesome. His name was Doug and he was supposed to be young and hip and his dad was trying to always be hip with him. I think it was the state on MTV

You are correct Yeah That is correct Yeah he kept trying to hit him up And he would always go Oh whatever dad My name is Doug And I'm Addy

Yeah it was Michael Michael Schoelwalter did this thing Hold on to see I have a clip here Let's see if I can just play it Yeah here you go This would be fun to hear Forget it

I'm out of here Forget it I'm out of here Here What all right i don't remember it but also it'll work it'll work i love audio that's recorded by pointing your phone at a tv love it love it it's the best all right let's get to this uh i've got uh the first question here we we tend to like movies and we tend to like movies about this guy who didn't have a belly button uh alfred hitchcock which of these are actual alfred hitchcock movies and which are not

i want you to tell me which of these are okay all right You got gaslight, notorious, frenzy, suspicion, diabolique, and charade. Three of those are Alfred Hitchcock movies, three of them aren't.

Where's psycho? You know, why didn't do anything easy? Where's rear window? I know. Where's vertigo? I'm doing two. Okay. You're doing two?

Got locked in. I'm going two as well. Okay. Ryan is locked in as well. Good job. You guys settled in on gaslight, diabolique, and charade, none of which are... Oh, my God. We picked all the wrong ones.

Frenzy is, it's a great one about a tie, like a killer, a serial killer who strangles people with a tie. um yeah gaslight is uh from nineteen forty four by george kukor diabolik uh i knew it was a movie good yeah all of these are movies diabolique is really good nineteen fifty five henri george cluzzo and then charade of course uh... nineteen sixty three stanley donan and and that one had what ruck hudson and um gd who was in uh charade oh she would totally know it's where the guy sticks his hand oh no that's roman holiday where they stick their hand in the Roman statue. I love how you stop.

It is another. Where the guy sticks his hand, he sticks his hand. I'm going to wait on this word. He sticks his hand in a, oh, wait, it wasn't that. Yeah.

I like charade. It's like, yeah, cool little. It's like Sharray. Audrey Hepburn. Right. There we go.

Audrey Hepburn, Walter Mathau. Oh, Kerry Grant. There we go. Yeah. So it's not a movie about a game of charades. It is not.

They begin the movie by saying two words. Two words. Two words. Sounds like. Two words. I had hip burn last night. It sounds like not an Albert Hitchcock movie. Yeah, that's for sure.

All right, Brian, we killed it that first round. We killed at that first one. Well, you'll do better on the second one. It's science. Science! Which of these are arachnids? Your choices are daddy long legs, horseshoe crab, bed bug, sea spider, scorpion, and tick. Three of these are arachnids.

Three of them ain't not arachnids. I know, right? It just all feels like a trick. Sure, sure. I'm doing three because I'm feeling lucky. Okay. I don't think that is, but I think, but they have a,

I don't know if you have to have a crunchy outer shell to be an arachnid. That's what I'm trying to remember. What are they call that? Because these are all, these are all chunky outer shells, except for I'm going to go that way. The only one that doesn't is the, well, yeah, we'll let Brian tell us.

Okay. Neither of you fell into the sea spider trap. Very good. Daddy lung legs is a spider and is an arachnid. Shit, as is the tick. Spoon as is the scorpion. Daddy Longleg, scorpion and tick are your three. I wasn't sure about the scorpion because he's hard shield, right?

Yeah, but it's really just. Uh, it's, it's, uh, eight legs, eight legs and two main segments in the body. Mm-hmm. Is the, is the, is what makes the definition, yeah. The, the horseshoe crab I knew wasn't because they're, they look spidery, but they're, you know. Yeah. And they've got like, don't they have like 12 or some stupid number of legs? Yeah, straight up crustacean.

But in the case of the, but they're delicious. The daddy long legs, which I always say dandy, because I get it wrong. I don't know why. It's a dandy long leg. Growing up, I was sure that was it until someone corrected me. On this show, on this very, on this very podcast. You know, you know how to spot a sociopath. Yeah.

Yeah. Because you didn't do it was like, like I said, it's a daddy long legs. And you're like, no, it's a dandy long legs. And then you Googled it. I didn't know we had this conversation. I'm pretty sure we did. Stephanie and if that's, tell us what episode it happened in. So if you're, if you're, go ahead.

No, you go ahead. Go. Oh, I was going to say, if you're triggered easy. Don't listen to the story I'm about to tell, but if you want to know if someone is a sociopath when you're growing up, they tear all the legs off except for one on the on the daddy long legs so they can watch him go around in circles. Just saying, I know somebody. Jeez. I don't like that. I don't like that at all.

Trigger warning off. What are mosquito? Oh, no, no, no. They're bloodsuckers. They're vampires. There's a spider that gets mosquitoes. What's that called? Mosquito Hawk.

Oh, that's like a bug. That's that flying bug, though. That's not the same. Right? Never mind. Mosquito hawk. I like mosquito hawk. You know, you can pretty much add hawk to the end of anything and it makes it sound cooler.

It totally does. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Console hawk. Console hawk.

Yeah. All right. Let's get to the last question here. Brian going in with three points. Scott going in with zero. So you're going to need all of these. Scott. Don't hold back.

Okay. Original band names or former band names. These are names that the bands originally had. Three of them are correct. Radiohead was originally called the miraculously Majestic Mayhem Squad. The Supremes, known as the Sweet Potatoes. Queen was Pepper Pot. Kiss was Wicked Lester.

Maroon Five was Kara's Flowers and Creed was Naked Toddler. Three of these are correct. Three of these are lies. Naked toddler. Come on. Naked toddler. I'm a naked toddler. is that a creed impression you just

with arms wide open to catch a naked toddler all right I'm going to do two aren't you going to need three to win um or to tie well three to tie oh that's true I got to go for it you're right

yeah um shit that one's just crazy enough probably right unless it's trying to make me think of Nirvana and the kid in the swimming pool that's a naked toddler well he's a naked infant that's not a toddler

he's a naked baby yeah uh shit if it was a toddler he's a he's a he's a pool float yeah he is there's a pool float I have chosen my three I'm scared

uh well wicked Lester indeed was original name for kiss then they switched it to kiss uh naked a toddler was the original name of Creed. Too bad they didn't stick with that. And

the sweet potatoes, the Supremes, was not the original name. Kara's Flowers actually was the original name for Maroon 5. Brian gets a point. Scott, uh, close. Two out of the three you needed. Almost tied it up.

Almost tied it up. No. But Brian talked to you to take him three. It just sounds right. It's like I can hear the Supreme's going, you know, Oh, well, we ought to call ourselves. It's call ourselves the sweet potatoes. You know what I mean? Like, it just sounded like a thing you'd do, but poop.

It does. All right. But that's Brian, Doug and Philly is going to get a couple of games. These are you going to get Ghost Wire Tokyo and Cracken Academy. Nice. Ooh. But Kurt Reinhart in Portland, Oregon, is going to get Yakuza 4 remastered. We tried to give these away last week.

That's nice, too. That's a good game. Everybody's a winner today. You know, like everybody's getting something pretty damn good. So there you go. I agree. Part of it was your good company, Brian Dunaway. It's always fun having you on.

We'll do this again Wednesday when we do the other one, the Tad Pooley Feud. So look forward to that. We have live audience participation in that one, so the stakes are slightly even higher. So tune in for that. Hey, Dunaway, anything else going on? You want to mention before we kick out? Yeah, I'm breaking out my Game Boy this week. My Game Boy Color, going to have fun with that, is going to be 25 years now since the Game Boy Color was released.

Oh, wow. That's what we're talking about this week in the Play Retro? What's your favorite game on the Game Boy Color? Do you want to say, or is that a spoiler for the Play Retro? I have one. Do you have one? Yeah, I mean, as Tetris just across the board for Game Boy, I mean, I've played it so much. Maybe that's just the thing.

For me, it's Mario Golf on there. For me, I change my. Oh, that's good. Oh. Yeah, that was a really good one. I own that. I think I still have that somewhere, that cartridge. I think it's in that box right over there.

That box. That box. Burned away. Kiss our butts. All right. He's out. Yeah, I sat and I would sit in the bathroom at the company I worked at until my legs went numb. Playing Mario Kart or sorry, I keep saying cart.

Mario Golf on the Game Boy Color. One hemorrhoids? That's how you get hemorrhoids. I had a yellow one. A yellow hemorrhoid? No, a yellow Game Boy color. Oh, okay. Yeah, it was not a yellow.

I had the transparent purple. a hemroid? Oh. Yes. Actually, it was, yes. It does sound like something that would be purple. It does. And transparent. Transparent. Transpurpid. Transpurpid. Transpurpal. Let's get into some news today. We have time. To do that, though, I have to push a button. Here we go. It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by.

25 days of Santa drawing. Scott already has four of them up. Go check them out at frogpents.com slash Santa right now to see what's ho-ho-ho-ho-in. Yep, one for the fourth just went up. So that's the fourth of the month. We got four total. That makes sense because it's four days in. And I'm doing one every day. Some are weird. Some are not. Some are unusual. You'll have to go see for yourself. So check it out. It's going to be a lot of fun. I can't wait until day 25 when I have 25 of these things. I know. It's going to be great. I'm going to never want to draw Santa again, though, after that. It's almost like you're going to want to do one more on the 26th, a boxing Santa.

Oh, I like that with like the gloves and everything. Yeah, the gloves, exactly. Or just a Santa passed out after a full night of doing stuff. I like it. I do like 1920 style boxing, though, you know, like fist of cuffs, little curled up mustache, you know, guy with his pants too high, that kind of thing. I'll look forward to it. Let's get to the news here. This is your first story.

A woman punches her husband to death for not taking her to Dubai on her birthday. She shocking incident. 36-year-old man died after he was punched in the nose by his wife after he refused to take her to Dubai for her birthday or her birthday celebration. The incident took place. I mean, she dropped hints. In her defense, she did drop a lot of hints that she wanted to go there for her birthday.

Yeah, and, you know, justifiable murder for sure after all those hints she gave. Let's see, the incident police in the couple's apartment located in a posh residential society in Poon's Juan Varday area on Friday. I don't know where that is. This is India somewhere. Winobdi. Yeah, is that it? One obdi? What I said?

I don't know what I said. One Vardy or something. It's my favorite cheese. I love a good hunk of Juan Vardy. Good stinky one Vardy. Yeah, that's so good on a cracker. Anyway, the victim identified as Nikil Kana. as close as we're going to get.

A businessman in the construction industry had a love marriage with his wife. Had a love marriage. A love marriage. This definitely is a this is definitely not a translated English article. Oh, I know what they mean. They mean non-arranged.

I just figured it out. That must be what it is. Oh, love marriage. Oh, got you. Okay. Over there, that's common. I would assume to say it this way over there, because most marriages, I think, still are arranged?

Doesn't the fact that she punched him to death for not taking her to Dubai put the love marriage kind of in question? A little bit yeah. Yeah. It would have been not that it would be better if it was arranged but it does seem a little bit worse because it was a love marriage,

you know? The love marriage. Anyway, they had been married for six years. According to a senior police officer posted at the Juan Vardy. Would you say, how'd you say it again? One ofdi. One ofdy. One of the police station.

Juan Varty. I could be wrong. I mean, that's just I'm just breaking it down by... Let me go ahead and guess that you're more... Oh, the Conflonics worked for me. You're more right than wrong than I am on this. I can promise you that. The incident occurred on Friday afternoon, as per the primary investigation,

has been revealed that the couple had a fight because Nick Hill did not take Renuka to Dubai to celebrate her birthday, did not give her expensive gifts on her birthday and anniversary. Oh, I betcha it's more of that. Yeah, so she punched him... I'm not sure she meant to fight him. Let's see.

She punched him in the face. The impact of the punch was so hard that his nose... Oh, was one punch? Multiple punches, but one of them sent their nose bone into a septum and went into the brain. That's what happened. Yeah. So don't punch people in the nose. It's actually, like, you have kind of a high likelihood.

They call this the, what they call this, the death triangle? Yeah. Oh, yeah. From here down to here. You hear about like heel of your hand up through the nose. Yeah. And they'd kill you. Yeah.

But you also want to avoid. So they always say if you have a gnarly pimple on your nose, don't pop it because if you get a worse infection, it's like a direct-to-your-brain kind of deal. I forget what they call it. Something triangle of death or something. It's a doctor term or a skin doctor term. I don't remember where I heard this, but somewhere. A dermatologist? Yeah, somebody told me that.

I can't remember who told me. Hopefully it was right. I'm sure Bobby will freak out of it's wrong. That's what he does. Let's move to this one. A population of hard to eradicate super pigs are in Canada and are threatening to invade the U.S. Oh, man. Forget about our southern border.

Who's protecting us from super pigs in the north? So it says here, an exploding population of hard to eradicate super pigs, that's in quotes, in Canada, threatening to spill south. It says they're trying to enter Minnesota, North Carolina, or North Dakota. Dakota and Montana, they're taking steps to stop the invasion. In Canada, the wild pigs roaming Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba pose a new threat. They are often crossbreeds that combine the survival skills of the wild Eurasian boar with the size and high fertility of domestic swine to create a, quote, super pig that is spreading out of control. Ryan Brooke, professor at the University of Saskatchewan and one of Canada's leading authorities on the problem

calls feral swine, quote, the most invasive animal on the planet and a, quote, ecological train wreck. That seems a bit much. Just the fact that they, you don't want to make anything super fertile. Because there's no chance it's not going to get out of control. It's absolutely 100% going, getting out of control. But calling it the most.

People are having a hard time, by the way, in both Twitch and YouTube, lots of buffering and skipping. Oh, is... I've noticed a little bit with your audio on Discord a couple times. Oh, yeah, I'm having... Something's weird. Hold on. Let's... Okay. Let me pause things.

Sorry to interrupt the proceedings here. No, it's all good. Okay. All fixed, all well. All good in the hell. Oh, thank goodness. Where was I? The Super pigs. Oh, they're coming to get us. The Super pigs. Oh, somebody thinks...

Oh, crap. Maybe I'm losing you. Hold on. Oh, no. Nope, you're there. Never mind. Okay, good. All right. I think it had like a little moment of like packet swap or something. Anyway, watch out for the super pigs.

They're here to kill you and eat you and have you. Exactly. There's nothing good to come from the super pigs. Name a thing that's good about super pigs. It's impossible. You can't do it. Unless they have super bacon. That would be the only like if you, if like the super pigs, by the way,

they have the most tender, delicious bacon. on a man, then like, all right, I guess we could live with the super fertility and the ability to withstand a nuclear blast. Yep, yep, but not super pigs. By the way, Zoe, don't get too excited about all the super pigs, okay? Yeah. They're not coming to your part of the world. They're coming down here. You have to come back to the states.

Come to Minnesota, visit your friend. And then while you're here, kill a super pig and eat their bacon. Kill the super pig. Oh, wait a minute. Oh, wait, maybe not. all right final story for the day uh for now anyway sausage vending machines are booming in germany oh yeah of course got to bring these here can we get these here hungry sausage vending machines hungry germans craving a sausage in the dead of night are increasingly turning to vending machines

for their brotwurst bachwurst and barbecue meats um uh the machines are boom i haven't heard of bachwurst i'm sure i'm assuming that's like a beer beer infused sausage because i've heard of a bach Oh, it's a baca beer? I've heard, yeah, there's a beer called a bach, but I wonder if the meat somehow infused with beer. Interesting. I don't know. The machines are booming outside Germany cities or German cities

where shops are less likely to stay open for long hours, according to a survey. Especially in structured, Vique rural areas, vending machine solutions are becoming increasingly popular. Yeah? Says, Haik rector. An industry spokesperson?

I'm sure they talk to us like that. There is a strong development toward the vending machines, which is used to deliver meat, milk, eggs, and other products to customers outside the core opening times. That makes sense. Brian, would you trust a vending machine with your eggs, your milk, your butter, your fruit, your meat? If I could tell that it was like if when I got said items out of the fridge,

if they were sufficiently cold, then I would trust them. But if it comes out of the machine and it's warm, then no, I will not, I will not. You will not partake in that case. I will not partake. All right. Well, I think you're doing the right thing. It's the right thing that you're doing. That's right.

All right. That is going to do it for today's news. We're going to take a break when we come back. Stephen Schlecker will join us and we'll do a little hanging out with him talking about some nerdy, cool stuff coming up. And Brian will play a song in the meantime. What do you got? I will.

Hello, Stephen. Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian. Hello. How's it going, man? How are you doing? It's going. It's good.

It's Monday. Yeah? You feel in the holiday spirit? Are you, you know, gearing up for the good times? No, not so much. I have done, I've bought all my Christmas gifts, and so I am done for the holidays. Oh, look at you. You're efficient as hell.

I'm not that at all. I don't, I'm not ready. I got stuff to get. I got things to do. I do have stuff going out to, I got, we got Christmas card's going out in the next couple of days and stuff for, I have gifts for all my people that I work with, like you and Brian and everybody, I got all that ready. But then all the personal, like, close to home stuff, my wife, any of my kids, I'm not ready. I don't know what

they want. I don't know what to do. What do I do? I'm going to figure it out, I guess. Anyway, Stephen, it's good to have you here. Let's talk about some of the stuff that you sent over here. um the across the spider verse script is available to read yeah so randy mentioned uh everybody should watch uh spider man across the spider verse last week on recommendals yeah and it's great movie um i i personally don't think it's better than the first uh spider verse movie but it's still very very good and one of the things when you have access to a script oftentimes you can get more nuance and you can get better insight to what the writers were thinking when they were writing the script. And there's a couple of different scripts. Like, if you go out and you buy a script online, oftentimes it's just a transcription of what you see on the screen with some conventional movie things like interior, exterior, that kind of stuff. But this one is one that is very accurate to what the creators wanted. In fact, it is because they wrote it. So if you're looking for more context and nuance in how some lines are supposed to be delivered or what the

thoughts, inner thoughts are on some of the characters, then going and grabbing this script would be very beneficial to people. Also, you can get to see how many times the writers use the F-bomb in the script. Oh, really? Oh, really? Was there a bunch of epic? Were there a lot? There's like four or five times that the F-word is used, but it's more in parenthetical things. Like, you know, Gwyn is waiting for this to happen and then in parenthetical's, eff it. She does it anyway, and then it goes into the thing. So less dialogue, but more, because I remember there was one, right? There was one F-bomb in the film. I think it was supposed to be, but I don't think it made the final final cut. There's a, there's another description. It's like Miles Morales

enters the, you know, the Spider-verse headquarters, and there are so many Spider-Men that it will blow your effing mind. Here's, here's an example of them just being a little weird. And Gwen, so the headline, or the headline, the header is, in Gwen's room continuous and then it says Gwen digs out a police scanner from inside a cute strip uh excuse me stuffed animal penguin or spider Gwen if you will like they're being goofy in there I like it I like it this is Peter Lord and whatever right that's these guys or is it Lord Miller and one other person I forget the other person those guys are wacky is on that but it's free to download deadline has it they also have scripts for a lot of other movies including Black Panther anything everywhere all at once Um, and some other ones that people might want, yeah, everything, everything. I like anything. I think that's a better name. I want to see anything anywhere all it was, all it was.

That should be the sequel, but, um, so, but if anybody who's wanting to get into any kind of writing, script, writing, et cetera, going and studying scripts alongside the film when you can watch them is, is a great thing. Yeah, I agree. Um, that's very cool. I'm going to have to scan over this thing. I'm always amazed by him because they're so simplified and outlining that you, it's, it's hard to imagine you have to be I mean obviously you're in the right company when you're when you're working on this with other creatives right so everyone understands the language of a script but on the face of it it's just very like even less than a book it's just very basic it's like here's a scene something happens it depends on it depends on the creator right because like if you read a quentin tarantino script he like goes into like paragraphs of detail about what you expect like the hateful eight he goes into excruciating detail about you know things that

that you're seeing in the scene and why it should be this way, et cetera, et cetera. And he's using his own language because that's what he understands. And one of the things that I think once you start reading it, yes, there are certain conventions and certain styles that studios and executives are looking for when they're looking at scripts, but

when it comes to, is there an exact way to write a script? There's not. And so looking at all these different scripts is just amazing. Yeah, I that's interesting. Real quick here, oh, I lost it. Where to go? Oh, we should mention. Oh, no, we did because Randy

it recommended it. It's on Netflix right now. People want to see the movie and then read this as kind of a companion piece before or after or something. I don't know. It's a nice little look into how this stuff gets made. But so much of movies is visual, right? That it makes sense you to have a more simplified

outline as a script than some, you know, they're not going right from a novel or whatever. I mean, the storyboarding would be insane for this. Less so, you know, the script, a lot more tame compared to the storyboarding that probably had to go on with that. So there's a couple of different ways that you can approach a script. Some people say

keep it bare bones and let the director come up with the vision and the shots that he or she wants in the making of the film. There's another group of people that are like, no, if you say that this shot needs, you know, that this scene needs to open on a close up of something or if you want to do a big wide swooping

swoosh across the valley or something, write it in there. And so it's you know, there's no, certainly there's ways to make it pretty simplified. And this script, I would say, is probably in between, keeping it very bare bones and offering as much detail as you possibly can. And I think part of that is because this is animation. And so you do need to convey a lot more in animation than what you might get through interactions

with the director and through the actors in the piece. And especially if you're trying to convey information to, and since Lord Miller directing this piece as well, you can go in and offer directions to the people who are animating stuff as well. How far off do you think we are from this script, the way it's written, you just feed this into something and out comes the storyboarding AI, AI storyboarding. And then you go back as a person and go, all right, yeah, well, we like what they've done here, but we're going to tweak this and add this. That seems like it's going to be part of the process sooner or later. Don't you think? I can see that. I mean, I think we're a ways off because if you look, and I don't have, let me open up

the script really quick, because if you look at some of the descriptions, one of the things that, especially when you're thinking about directing or when you're doing storyboards are, what are all of the angles and shots and things that you need? So if we go down into Chelsea Day exterior, Gwen walks against the foot traffic in her paint streaked world, though she doesn't move through it so much as it moves around her, reflecting less how things are and more how she is, you can can't feed that into an AI and have it spit out the angle and the color scheme and the tone that you're looking for in that as far as the storyboard goes. I think we're probably getting closer. In fact, I probably should just copy this and paste it into Chad GPT, or I'm not into

mid-Journey and see what we come up with. And I'm going to bet that it's nothing close to. Probably not. The reason I say this, though, it would have to be a model specifically trained for this job it wouldn't be yeah that's and so that's one of the things that you know some web cartoonists are saying is like hey get your own localized version of chat or of a mid journey or or one of these other um systems train it on your stuff so that when scott johnson says i need a background for this it'll go through and say okay well a typical scott johnson background looks like this and it can offer it up to you and be like yeah a little tweak here a little tweak there boom uh you're done and ready to go yeah who i think we're getting closer to that was it you who came

if you were on here and talking about this or not, but we were talking about some comic book artist who's doing this very thing. He's having his own work train into a model and then poop in his backgrounds. It is the guys who do, and it's off the top of my head. I can't remember. They do the Comics Lab podcast, but they have Sheldon is one of the web comics and the other one. Now, I forget who the other one is. But, yeah, they've done it, and they're both kind of like, eh.

Yeah, it's not great. It's got a ways to go. Yeah, it's got a ways to go. But, you know, two years from now, I mean, we're just over a year from Mid Journey being really open and chat GPT being open to generalize public people. So two more years, yeah, might be really easy to just feed a script and pop out a storyboard. But again, it depends on what the what the director wants. He or she may say, you know what, I want this to be a very low angle. I want to see those steps on the sidewalk and every time she steps into a puddle, the light, you know, reflects or does something different storyboard that out.

that's something that the nuance of an AI model is not going to be able to do easily. Yeah, but if they get really good at the real-time transcription of her saying that, the director saying, what I really want is a low shot near the water with a reflection and it happening in real time, not waiting for it, it's just doing it. I mean, that's pretty compelling for a workflow. Yeah, that would be really cool too. Yeah, anyway, not to bring AI into every damn conversation I ever have, but I think about this stuff a lot.

The Last of Us, Season 2 begins filming in February. So we're not going to see this show until 2025, though, right? No, probably not unless they, and I don't know how many episodes season 2 is supposed to be. I think what was season 1, like 10 episodes? So we figure if they begin shooting in February, let's say they're on a schedule of one episode per week. That's 10 weeks plus another 10 weeks of post-production. So, you know, probably, probably 2025, yeah, early 2025. They would be pushing it to get it with the big production value.

I was going to say, there's a lot of post-production that happens with that show. Yeah, I'm just thinking like the Flash on CW. That was a week-to-week where they basically had a week to prep, a week to shoot, and a week and a half to two weeks sometimes, but a lot of times it was a week to get all the post-production done. So I would bet just in the way that Max is weird right now, They're probably going to try to get it in 2024, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is a February of 2025 release. That makes sense to me.

Do you also, have you, no, go ahead, ask your question. I was just going to say, on the topic of game-inspired or game-related television projects, did you see the fallout, the fallout trailer? I have not watched the fallout trailer. I did see a frame from it. It looked amazing. It looks good. I'm excited about it. If anything, it looks exactly like the games, this thing.

And some people are worried about that. They feel like it's like, I don't know, people can't, people want it both ways. Either it looks too much like the thing they want to be good or it doesn't look anything like the thing they want. I mean, whatever. I don't care about that argument, but it does look very fallout. I mean, freaking dog meat, the dog is in it. There's still brotherhood dudes in big, what are those called? They're big.

And suits. Yeah, that looks really cool. Power suits, that's what they're called. Yeah, yeah. The guns look goofy, the jumps, blue jumpsuits you leave the vault with all. look just exactly like the games, like, it seems like they're really good for it. The humor is in there too, it seems. Yeah, it seems a little goofy, a little, uh, funny. And also Walton Goggins as a ghoul with his nose missing. Yeah, with no nose. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Anyway, sorry,

what are you going to say? Back to last of us. Craig Mazen is the show runner on that. He also has a podcast, uh, called script notes. So again, tying it back to the Spider-Man thing. If people want more insight into what goes into making a show. He was the one behind Chernobyl, last of a season one, obviously, and a bunch of other stuff. You can get some insight from from two people that are working in the industry on that show. The thing I was going to say is, you guys got any thoughts on Warner Brothers suddenly dumping like their entire lineup on Netflix? It's a little weird. I mean, all that stuff is suddenly there. What I'm more concerned about is they pulled a ton of stuff from the PlayStation library, and that's not streaming.

Those are movies you paid for. So if you spent, let's say, $14 bucks on a movie, I can't think of a movie, but a movie from them, PlayStation put out this notice saying, look, if you bought any of these, these certain titles will no longer be playable after a certain time, which means you don't own that shit after all. Right, right.

You should have rented. You never did, really. I mean, you'd think you were supposed to feel like we did. Yeah. Right? Yeah. And I feel like, I guess if I buy a movie from Apple TV and it downloads it to my computer, I feel like I own that. I don't feel like Apple could all of a sudden say, yep, now that movie that you bought through the music store, the movie store, whatever they call.

I have no idea what they call it now that it's Apple Music. Apple Clues. So whatever, yeah. Yeah, you don't own that. We're just going to pull that. Sorry. So sorry. And Apple has done that.

in the past, right? I mean, they'll lose, I've had movies that I've purchased years ago that suddenly don't show up in the Apple store anymore. I can still, and of course I have it locally, but my understanding is they also just keep it on their servers for people who purchased it so that they can still play it, but they don't offer it for sale anymore. That's different from what PlayStation is doing. Yeah, that would be the way that they could say face and do it, just say, well, if you've purchased it, you can still see it on a servers, but we won't be selling it anymore. Yeah, and that would be fine, but what they are actually doing is the DRM is not allowing you to even play the damn thing. Oh, that's horrible. So there's

going to be a suit or something there. It's going to get weird before it gets better. But in the case of this Netflix dump, it's just interesting because suddenly a bunch of stuff I associated specifically with Max are now just there in mass. I notice that it's not their discovery offerings that are showing up on Netflix. I notice that it's their Warner Brothers offerings that are showing up on So it's very specific to just their Warner Brothers stuff. Interesting. That's what it looks like to me. But then again,

I'm anti-Zalov. So this is not a surprise. A little bit of a bias. Sure. I mean, when you think about it, if you were thinking about it from a business perspective, if they are trying to stop the hemorrhaging of money and they are trying to pay off the $5 billion debt that they have, license that stuff out to any streamer that wants it.

Netflix obviously is very interested in this. Who knows how long those agreements are going on, but it's a way to help pay off that debt. But on the other hand, something doesn't smell quite right when it comes to David Sazlov. Yeah, something's weird. I don't trust that guy at all.

No, I don't either. He's a poo. He's a poo hit. Ooh, harsh. I know. I know.

I mean, suddenly Warner Brothers dumping all this stuff on Netflix is great for me because I canceled my max subscription years ago when he first took over. That's true. Real quick, you mentioned Craig Mason, the showrunner for Last of Us, Chernobyl and all that.

It was his daughter. We've talked about this on the show before, but just as a way of reminder, his daughter did that cover of, I can find it. Oh, shoot, what's the name of it, though? I've got the album here, but I can't find the name of the song.

Anyway, there's a song on there that aired in the last or second to last episode. I can't remember which. That is so good. Such a cool cover. I wish I could find it. What's her name? Never let me down again.

Her name is Jessica. Never let me down again. What is it again? What's her name? Jessica Mason. Jessica Mason. Jessica Mason. M-A-Z-I-N. Such a great cover, dude. It's so good. And his daughter's got like an amazing voice.

She's like an angel. Anyway, well, there's that. Let's talk about Lego Fortnite because that's happening December 7th. Are you guys excited for this? No, I don't care about. My oldest son, we were talking, he's like, hey, dad, did you see so-and-so was in Fortnite? I was like, oh, yeah, did you see that Lego was in Fortnite? He's like, yeah.

And I was like, what do you think about that? He goes, I'm interested in seeing what it is. but supposedly it's going to change up the gameplay of Fortnite. It makes sense. They do this with their big seasonal stuff. They just had the M&M concert and you can get the M&M skin. And so they do a lot of music tie-ins, a lot of other stuff. I noticed that so they're putting Peter Griffin from Family Guy in the game.

Yeah. And what's great about it, at first I was just like, that's annoying, whatever, I don't care, Fortnite. But I actually kind of like it because somebody showed me, in these, in these kind of games, especially Fortnite, when you get shot, you're not killed right away, you're down on your legs crawling around, and people can run up to you and decide what to do, and your friends can revive you, but they can finish you off if the bad guy comes. What happens when Peter Griffin goes down is he does that thing where he rolls on his back, holds his knee, and goes, and he'll do that until the timer runs up.

It's amazing. Somebody needs to do that. to put on a giant chicken skin. Yeah, right. It just had the, that might be in there. The long overdone fight. Wouldn't surprise me if that was in there.

But, but yeah, no, these, these crossovers are pretty crazy. Yeah. Go ahead. So one of the cool things is everybody can be mini figures. And so you can take your skins, your costumes that you wear in Fortnite and put them on your mini figures. But if you go over the Lego website, they're like super cagey on every, everything in a frequently asked questions.

Like, the question is, what do you do in Lego? go Fortnite. And the answer is, be prepared for something a little different than what you're used to, but more news to follow after the game launches on December 7th. Okay. It's not a lot of info, but. I'm guessing they're going to do more of the, if you've ever played any of the other Lego video games where in Fortnite, obviously, you're supposed to build forts. But I'm sure they're going to make it more Lego-oriented when you're building all of your, you know, your wall-round collecting pieces to be able to build. It wouldn't surprise me if you have to collect pieces in order to build those things.

That makes sense. Lean into the Lego part of it. Why not? Sure. Yeah. Enjoy that. Kids and adults who also enjoy Fortnite, it's kind of. And Scott, who will play it on December 7th? I'm not playing that. I don't care. I don't have any, well,

I like no build mode. It's actually pretty fun where you don't have the building, but that seems antithetical to the Lego thing, so I don't know why I would do that. But no build mode in that game is actually pretty legit. But it's the one where they're all spending the last 10 minutes of the fight, constructing ridiculous

cover structures that you're never ever going to be able to climb or yeah yeah and just hiding from everybody each other it sucks I hate it I can't stand that part of the game

did you ever play it before it became you know battle royale when it was just oh yeah the us versus the world mode or whatever yeah that's the original

game design that's all it was going to be and what happened is what happened is what's that game called oh PubG PubG. Thank you. Player Unknown's

Battlegrounds, where the hell is called. That game comes out. The game mode takes off like crazy, explodes overnight, and those guys at Epic just pivoted. They went, what if we made that mode real quick? And they did. And that took off. And now it's the only thing anyone cares about. Nobody's playing us versus the world mode. I mean, if somebody is, I don't know who they are. It's just like hardly anybody. That's one of the greatest, weirdest pivots in game

history. And it totally paid off for those guys. So I guess well done. I don't know. Sure. That is going to do it for today. Stephen, anything going on on your site that people should check out this holiday season? Oh, this holiday season, we are getting ready to wrap up our major spoilers podcast for the year. And if people got a kick out of our Batman's Got a Gun special episode, I am in the process right now of wrapping up the editing of a big two-part thing that I'm not going to talk about. I'm not going to tell you what it's about.

But let's just say it has to do with comic book history. and a certain big publisher and something that they did that went horribly, horribly wrong for this. Oh, I cannot even guess what this is. I know, yeah. It feels like there's so many options it could be. I mean, I think Brian knows because Brian read the script already, so. Oh, really? Like last year, I think, yeah.

Oh, okay. I don't know then. I still have no idea. Brian, do you know what he means? I'm not remembering, no. All right. Well, you're going to have to wait and see. You'll just have to wait.

I'll tell you more next. next time I'm on the show. I can't wait. Should I be drinking this time of year? It's a little cooler. I don't have to think. No, no, no, no. The only thing you should be drinking.

I mean, the problem is you go outside of alcohol and then you get in big trouble. So what you should do is just drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. Oh, very good. Excellent news. All right. I like that he thought you meant drink drinking. Yeah. No, no, Scott.

Don't still start drinking. I don't know why. I don't know why you thought I meant that, but it's fine. I like it. Let's move on to this couple of messages before we leave. All right? Here's one of the Grandmaster Jarf, aka Jeff the Mailman from Maine. He says, good morning, guys.

This is kind of about the song request. He says, this is Grandmaster Jarf, aka Jeff, so definitely a dude. I just heard the cover of who wants to live forever. And while I was walking my mail route, delivering mail, which, yes, I also hate inline catalogs. I stopped and I cried, he says. My goodness. Thank you for that amazing cover song. And yes, every November 21st isn't a good day at all, but I have two.

power through it because life doesn't stop for anything. However, thank you for the amazing cover and thank you for all the good work. Please keep it up. Thanks. So that was really nice, wasn't it? That's great. Yeah, Bella Goldwyn did that cover and just amazing, amazing voice on her. Yeah, that was a really good,

that was a great cover. And I'm glad it hits you right there and feels there, Jeff. Keep delivering those inline catalogs. Final message, this is a dates question for Brian. They did not leave a name, so I'll just read it as is. I have a question for Brian. I am always amazed by all the awesome and unique date nights, Tina, and you go on.

How do you find all these ideas? Oh, it's a good question. All right. So if Tina's listening, I want you to stop listening right now, Tina. Don't worry. We won't say anything funny for the rest of the show anyway. So you can stop listening to this episode right now because I don't want you to know how I find a lot of these. All right.

Hopefully, she's not listening anymore. Surprisingly, things like Groupon and Eventbrite. you'll find these like one-off learn to clog dance kind of things you know little tickets to learn how to how to paint uh uh mosaics or something like they're assemble mosaics things like that like you find some really unusual um one night only kind of events that are perfect for date night um like what's this one money 101 but first chocolate so it's a chocolate and learning to invest Nope, thank you very much. Let's see. Colorado Arsson, Hazel Miller. Oh, Hazel Miller's coming town. That'd be cool.

Irish Christmas in America. So an Irish Christmas festival thing. Oh, she would totally dig that. See, that's another go. Pines and Pores. Oh, yeah. With Launchpad Brewery, go. You do, it looks like, tie-dye painting and brewery.

Oh, that's cool. It's stuff like that you find. And then you just basically, target like say okay well it's it's things that Tina has to like so that's what I specifically look for yeah I look like there's Atlantis Morris set coming to the USana

amphitheater in West Valley City Utah oh there you go like almost half off these tickets yeah see there you go so you get deals and ideas so deals ideas and more right exactly that's our new website coming out deals ideas and more very excited about it

How to make woodworking, wooden jewelry, Sunday, December 31st, making woodworking and jewelry right there. Boy, I'll tell you one thing that's annoying. They got some weird code on their website that made it so their pop-up that makes, you got to either click out of it or sign up for the coupon to see anything else. For some reason, it put it way at the bottom of the page, and it just looked like their page was broken. Oh, geez, I hate that. It's effed. Anyway. that's cool oh kangaroo zoo any day pass usually 17 i can get it for 11 what see there you go

kangaroo zoo look at that that sounds fun i don't even know what it is some kind of thing oh i can go to i rock utah where they got the they got the um the big huge fan that blows you up in the tube what's that called um oh yeah the indoor skydiving yeah yeah they got a place called i fly which is flow rider It has a flow rider Is that a brand? Well, anyway. Must be. It's not a flow rider.

$116, usually $67 and a perfect date. Oh, see, there you go. Yeah. Biscuit and hogs. All right. Anyway. See, see what I mean? Easy to find this stuff if you know where to look.

All right. There's her trick. Hopefully, Tina didn't just discover my secret. It'd be funny if her method for your secret dates is like way more complicated and a huge pain in the butt. And then she just found out how easy it is for you. That'd be funny. The problem is that that's great, but I don't want her to see, like, she'll be spoiled if she sees some of these things and says, oh, I know what Brian's picking for me.

He's going to totally do this one. Oh, yeah, you don't want her to know. You don't want her to know. But I want to know what her process is, is what I'm saying. I want to know how she's finding yours stuff. Maybe we can get her a call in, and I swear to God, I will take my headphones off. I'll ask her to play or record a clip and send it to you about how she picks her mystery dates. Do it.

Yeah, we'll do it on the air. You'll take her headphones off and you guys can hear it. phones off and I won't listen. All right, Tina, it's now in your court, the ball. All right, that is it for stuff you guys sent in. If you want to send us emails, you can, the morning stream at gmail.com. And if you want to send us texts, you can do that also at 801-471062. That includes voicemails.

And today, even though a bunch of you will say, I don't remember you telling us this. I'm going to put a bunch of calls that don't really fit in the main show or are a little too long or are older. I'm going to put those in post today. So you're going to hear a whole bunch of those at the tail end of the show. Every once in a while, just kind of do a little after burner and poop a bunch of them out. So be after the song, you'll hear those. For patrons, you'll hear it before our post show. So watch.

Because I want to hear those too, so I'll go listen. Yeah, they'll be good. Brian, I think that's it. Let's do a song to leave with. Do you have one of those handy? I do. Sutranu wrote in and said, The Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced 100 years ago this month.

Wow. And we still haven't figured it out. goes to, this goes out to all less men because seriously, it's about time we did something productive here, here, Soutranu. Yeah, wanted to hear this cover right here. I played this recently on Coverville's Guess the Connection. There was a quiz where I used this song, but it's so good. I want to use it here.

I want to play it here. It's a cover of Aretha Franklin's arrangement of respect. Of course, Aretha Franklin did a cover of Otis Redding's respect and added the whole R-E-S-P-C-T and the backing vocals, Saketumi, So she made the song completely her own And when people cover that song, they cover the Aretha Franklin version usually. This is a version by Lenka from her recover EP from 2020.
