I can get more miles to the gallon this way. The morning stream. Good. Real good. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for December 6th, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Ibbett. Hi. Hello. Welcome to the middle of your week.

It is. We've reached the middle of your week. Yeah, six days went quick. I don't. I don't like how fast in December is already going. I'm trying to enjoy the holidays. I'm trying to stop and smell the roses, as it were. Yeah, yeah. It's tough to do, right? Hard. You get super busy.

Too much going on. Yeah. It's our own fault. I mean, you and I both kind of run our own destiny. And, you know, the more busy we get, it's usually because we're, it's us. Our bosses are dicks, is what I'm trying to say. We have dick bosses. That's so true.

Yeah, my dick boss keeps making me try to find this stupid, bow house adobe bow house font that's the still on the hunt for that thing got to find that yeah i'm billing i'm billing my customer for every hour i spend looking for this bow house font to show him what a bad idea his logo is it would be funny if that font only exists in actual metal type pieces at a like an old press or something it's the only way you're going to get it right oh like a old uh goodberg press lead lead version yeah actual lead type oh man yeah i uh i found a down a free download of it and I open up in font book and it says this font can't be validated and I just

can't bring myself to click on the install button with you know I don't want to install any malware I think people can put malware in font files right I would assume font stuff works does the does a font file can't can it deliver malicious software I don't know I probably can why wouldn't it it's probably can't right it's like a little all it needs to have is a little executable in there but Because when they say verified or whatever, what do they mean? Do they mean verify that it's, or validate that it's real or that it's the official font or not official? Yeah, I think, no, I think, no, it's saying this font file can't be validated. Just like it, basically, it can't be sure that there's not going to be some conflict with another font.

Yeah. There's definitely some stuff in there. Well, good luck, man. That sounds like a trick that you're on. Yeah. A life track. I think I'm giving up on this track, honestly. You've had all you.

It's been too long. I think I'm done. You might be done. Well, do bill him, though. That'd be good. I'm not going to bill them for all the time I've looked for the font. No, that's... Put that on a resume or on an invoice.

It says, line item two. All the time I took looking for your damn font. 16 hours searching for the Bauhaus font that I think you used. And I don't even think they used it. If I'm having a hard time finding it, there's no way that that's the actual. font they use they use some sort of they probably use some sort of janky download free malware version so yeah that sounds right to me well good luck on that um real quick i had a weird dream that you were in oh so so was so was randy and dunaway uh so it was a bit of a film sack party and uh boy i don't

know where this came from honestly so here's what it was this is simply it and the time i was in it though it felt real and important and somehow crucial to everybody in it now it seems just absolutely ridiculous but in this dream there was a gigantic xbox controller so the reason i know it's xbox you know all the normal trappings big big bulbous thing with an x on the middle and then you had your a and your b and your x and your y um in the in the orientation that's not nintendo so yeah so that's the only reason i knew and they were the colors of that and each button was one of us. So I was the X button

and I was all blue but I was this X button face. You were the A button. I remember where everybody was. Dunaway was Y up top and Randy was B. Okay. And they all we all just sat in this controller

and it just seemed so important that we were in it and that we were part of it. Life depended on it. We had to be there. I don't remember specific details after waking up, but there was a lot of conversation between the buttons about how important things were. Sure, well, and whose job was more important

than others, because if you're the action button, you're getting all the attention. If you're the back button, some of the attention, right? You know, the back button or the cancel or whatever, but then you've got like, you know, the other two buttons. And I don't know what the

configuration, I don't play Xbox too much, so I don't know what the configuration, if it's like the PlayStation where the bottom button is the one you use the most for everything, or if it's like the Nintendo Switch where it's like the right button. No, it's totally... PlayStation and Xbox, almost the exact same use case, just different symbols.

So like when you do the circle on Xbox, it's the same thing as doing an X on, or sorry, a circle on PlayStation, X on Xbox. Those are kind of your use buttons, generally speaking. So if I'm in a world where I got to open a door, that's your button, usually, not always. Yeah. A is often jump. So you were jumping a lot

That was your job Okay, I was jump, all right, good I had to use a lot I feel like I'm getting used there Sure So I had to use things Brian had to jump stuff Dunaway had to

Pull up inventory Or something like that Because that's what you use Y for Or in PlayStation's case The Triangle And then Randy Who would be Circle or B

Was always going back Just constantly going back Always going back Moving Catwoman Always back Yeah always back Moving Catwoman It was crazy, dude.

It was a weirdest dream. And it felt so important. I hate these because I wake up going, okay, what do I have to do? And I realize, nothing, nothing, you do nothing. There's just a dumb-ass dream. I can't even ascribe meaning to this. There's no meaning to it. Yeah, yeah.

No, I don't think there's no card in the box that says, here's what an Xbox controller represents. Yeah. But be glad that you are the A button. You're an important button, Brian. Yeah, I feel like I wish this was a drawing If you weren't so busy with the Santas, I'd say Please, draw this Draw the Xbox controller with the four film set guys

Speaking of which Oh yeah, go ahead. It just feels like if there should be anybody, it should be Bo and John Because their core, their video game Yeah, you'd think the gamer guy, the gamer host guys Would be the one of them And Brian Dunaway. So Dunaway, Bo, John, and you Yeah, yeah, why is it film set? Why is it the film set core group?

I don't know, I don't get it. I don't know. Well, it says you watch movies on your PlayStation. That is true, I do. I have the latest Santa to show here. You can take a look at it as well. Oh, cool. Him just stuck in a Mario pipe.

He doesn't look that worked up about it. He looks fine. He's just like, oh, I did it again. Oh, no. His eyes are a little angry like he's just realizing his predicament. It's kind of a damn it kind of face. Like, shit. I think the curve of the hair in the middle of his under his cap.

leads it to seem a little more annoyed than he has. Oh, sure, his little widow's peak looking thing. Yeah, but there he is, trying to just deliver gifts to the mushroom kingdom and he can't get it done. Find those at frogpants.com slash Santa for all 25 days of this month.

Well, until Christmas. Because there are more than 25 days. All right, we got a quick email from Jeff Sire, our good pal who wrote in and said this is from his home in Canada. Crafton, Ontario.

Scott and Brian, regarding the discussion whether or not you can see a tool bag, 200 miles in orbit. He says, I live on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The lake is 53 miles wide at its widest. For 12 years, I worked in a nuclear plant, nuclear plant. Did I say that right? Now you did. My whole life, I've tried to be really careful with it because when I was a kid, I got it wrong. So I always have to think about it when I say it now.

Nuclear plant in Pickering, Ontario directly across the lake. in New York State was a factory for some very large structure, or some very large structure. The lake is narrower here, but it's still some more than 30 years, or 30 miles away. 30 years. What is wrong with me? I don't know. You were just like... In the 12 years. Are you looking at the same words I am?

I know. In the 12 years I worked there, only got ever a glimpse of that building a handful of times on the clearest summer days. Even with binoculars, there is no way I could ever see a tool bag over there. Maybe they had a large backyard telescope. lies Stephen Schlecker does. I'm not sure what that means. Oh, like. I think he meant like Stephen Schlecker.

Maybe ask him, Jeff Sire. Yeah, there was a number of feedbacks on this. I think Brian's skepticism was warranted because... I think, yeah, I mean, I think, you know, they're saying, oh, you can even spot it with binoculars. Yeah, maybe, but they've got to be some, like, industrial-grade binoculars. Yeah, not just your...

Hey, I'm going to the Grand Canyon. Let's buy a pair of shitty ones, right? It had to be something. 200 miles is a long, a long... longer distance than people think. I mean, that's as far as you drive going top speed and three hours, well, not top speed, but like going on a highway, 65 to 70 miles an hour, a little under three hours of driving gets you 200 miles. Yeah, so even if you're looking straight up. More than that, because 180, yeah, what am I thinking?

Straight up in the sky, clearest of days. You need some real magnification. You need some magnification, for sure. More than what you bought it. Walmart okay and and and yana laska says it's in space and super shiny when sun hits it oh i agree but again and and maybe we're you know our definition of a tool bag is is um is is one of the guys on youtube no our definition of a tool bag is something that's a lot smaller than what it is in actuality right and uh good point maybe it's a big fat tool bag you know with big huge but i mean yana if you think about how long it takes how far you go if you drive straight in one direction on a highway for three hours and then look back to where you

started, even with the pair of binoculars, do you think you're going to see a Home Depot toolbag? I don't think so. I mean, you have the, I mean, obviously the curvature of the earth, blah, blah, blah. That helps, yeah, yeah, which is, but that's just point. He's in a really, really tall building. That other really tall building should be within eyesight because it's, it would jut above the curvature, but it doesn't, or it's not enough to see it. So I get it. I think just right. I hate to say that because Jeff loves when he's right, all right? And I'm here I am saying he's right.

Listen, I love saying when Jeff's right when he's agreeing with me. So it's great when he agrees. It's wonderful. No, I don't think Claire's, you think NASA, goddammit, you think NASA is using a Home Depot tool bag? Well, no, but that's still not our point. That's what we think about. We don't know what a NASA toolbag looks like, right? We can only go by what we know as a tool bag.

And it's one of those you wrap around your waist. It carries all your tools or something that you hold that you carry that's got like trays and stuff like that in it. Yeah, it's in the back of your truck, ready for whatever job you're doing. Exactly, exactly. It could be the size of a, okay, let's just assume it's the size. It's the size of a Chevy Silverado. Okay. If it's that big, sure.

See it in space. Even then, I'm not sure I'd see it with my naked eyes. I'd have to have some really. Oh, definitely not with your naked eye. Yeah. I'd have to have some good binoculars. A really good pair of binoculars, yeah. And like Yon says, it needs to get hit by the sun pretty hard for me to get some light off of it.

Yeah. So, yeah, I don't know. We got a text about crackers. Remember these? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I talk about crackers. The saltines, the premium. You still have?

Is that the same one from yesterday? No, it's just another. It's just a bag in here. It's one in a different sleeve because you polished off the first sleeve. I might have. I might have done that. It says here, I love salting crackers. I can sit down in front of the TV and just munch down on some plain ass crackers.

Oyster or soup crackers are da bomb when gaming. Just jam a handful in your ma when you're loading. I love that lesson. Just jam a handful in your ma while you're loading. You are loading. Yeah. Load up, baby. Load up.

Yeah, and then you get thirsty and you drink water or Mountain Dew Code Red or whatever. And the salt and the water, you gain water wave. and you get bloated and real good. Hope you enjoy those oysters. It's an entire nightmare in front of you if you do too much of that. I'm not saying eat them like that for sure. No, but you know what? For whatever reason, the oyster crackers soup crackers

sound way better to me than just the flat saltines. Even though they're just a different shape, like, oh yeah, like just reaching in and grabbing a, you know, popping those in my mouth as opposed to the whole, you know what it is? It's probably partially the mess. Like when you think about eating a saltine, Unless you're shoving the entire saltine in your mouth at one time, you're probably going to end up with little saltine crumbs all over the place.

Yeah, that makes sense. They're much more... Oyster crackers, more self-contained. Yeah, and they tend to, when they melt in your mouth instead of get all dry. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. And if I'm given the choice, a handful of oyster crackers probably is what I would do. But if I, you know, if all I got is these around, I'll eat these.

Well, let's find out what this guy does. Yeah Hey Brian Dunaway Before we do Tad Polly Fude Do you like a saltine cracker Are you a fan? Yeah if I'm

drinking a bunch of water And I'm like I'm too watered down I need something Yeah Team Ibit away Or Dunnabit Yeah I don't know

It's hard to tell right Is it Is he? Yeah Oh Dunaway is breaking up pretty bad are you on Wi-Fi in a room full of Netflix? I'm breaking up a pretty bad. All right.

Hold on a second. Let me try something then. All right. All right. Hold on a second. All right. We're holding on a second. Oh, that was weird noise.

Let's see what's going on there. All right. Well, while he's doing that, we've got to bring in a listener. And I'll see who's number three. Oh, look. I think this might be somebody new. Oh, good. I'm not sure.

Have we done LC-night before? Doesn't matter. He's in. He's third. Yeah. But I don't remember if we've done him. I don't know either. Like, yeah, we've, I mean, we certainly seen him in the tadpool plenty. Yeah, I just don't know if we've ever played before.

Elsie Knight, welcome to the show. How are you? I'm doing very well, guys. Thank you for bringing me in. Have we had you on here before? I don't remember. I am Matthew Johnson down in Phoenix, Arizona. You've read my emails and those things. That's right. And I've always talked about how my brother has the same name as you and all that stuff, right? exactly and i am the one that the the the singer is matthew johnson is that true i do you know that yeah yeah sorry i'm also the one that cindy knows very well and i've gone blind in both my eyes multiple times oh that's right that's right that's right that means these games will probably you're going to

probably donate these to some actually i'm not because i had surgery three weeks ago and i have sight again excellent that's great news holy crap i love hearing that I also love hearing Brian Dunaway's sultry voice, and he's back with a vengeance. Oh, hi, Scott. Oh, hi. You sound better now. Did you change ISPs or something? What'd you do there?

Well, yeah, sort of. Well, I was trying. I was trying. You always say I got the delay, so I found a way to get rid of the delay, but the delay then creates, obviously, mayhem. It creates its own new problem. Yeah, new problems. Yeah, so I tried something, and it didn't work, so we'll just try something else. We'll take whatever you've got.

Brian had been explained to these two chuckleheads what's on, what's at stake today for the game? What are we doing? A steak, as a matter of fact, is on stake. Hey, it's time to play the tadpool. Lee Feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics and Scott and Brang now have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can

guess. Matthew, your job is more important than ever because you, yes you, you are going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your team wins, you'll get a prize package. That includes Meeple, and turbo golf racing. Is it a golf game?

Is it a racing game? It's both. Yes, it is. It's both. I've played that. That's a cool game. I like it. That's good.

I don't see the feud screen's not up. Let me reload. Oh, there it is. There we go. I had to reload. All good. In the hood. I created it too early this morning.

All good in your neighborhood. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. Let's get to this one. I forgot to count how many answers we had to this one. So it's up in the 450, 460 range.

We asked 460 tadpullers, their question to, or their answer, to this question. What was your favorite childhood toy? Scott. Transformers. Show me, I think you show me a transformer. Number two answer. One answer will beat it, Brian. Do you want to take a stab?

See, they've got to be... I'm going with He-Man. He-Man and the masters of the universe. Show me He-Man. Oh, are you serious, you old bunch of hearts. How old can you people be? Or too young, maybe too young. He-Man number 12, by the way.

It was close. Wow. Oh, He-Man at 12. What'd you think about? What'd you think about Extendo, Nick? I sent you there, Scott. Oh, he's awesome. Extendo Neck is the bomb, dude.

Dude, every terrible side character in He-Man is the best thing about He-Man. Man-E-Faces. His faces are different. He's a man of many faces. Speaking of which, did you get something for me there, Donaway? No. Oh.

Do you all not have my address or something? Did you get the meat sticks? No. Did you get something for me? No. Well, the meat sticks was a weird thing. The guys on core got meat sticks. made no sense. We never had anything about those.

Everybody, but the only person on core, besides Scott, I'm sorry, in the play retro, got the meat sticks. Yeah, they're good. They're very good. I got the meat sticks right now. Oh, no, I don't have those sticks. You got a bad case of the meat sticks? Oh, no. That's not. I got a bad case of the meat stick. This is me off because it's not something that I can like 3D print and make another one of. I'm hoping that it eventually makes its way to you. Let's see. It was sent on, well, it's probably still making its way. November 28th.

oh it's probably still going then probably still going yeah yeah stuff's weird right now freaking u.s. Balsy service gets real sucky this time of year yeah big piece of shit big piece of shit uh all right well that means i'm it's me and lc night yeah you and elsie night you got together yeah oh it's currently it's in uh fairburn georgia so it's still oh never oh it's never gonna get here then that's where that's where packages go to die oh man never forget never forget all the fairborn uh the georgia deaths of male. All right. Well, let's do this, Matthew Johnson, you and I.

Brian, or Matthew, let's talk about answers here. How about Yeah. Well, tell me what you're thinking. What do you like? What about Barbie? Oh, yeah, of course, let's get the women in here. How about Barbie? And no offense to any men that like Barbie. It's fine. Whatever. Yeah, everyone loves Barbie.

All right, show me, Barbie. Number nine. Big points. Thank you for that. Nicely done. That's a good one. Good job. Toy is such a broad term.

It is. It is a big broad term. Broads. I'm going to... Playing with Brides. You're going to follow that up with Barbie? Brian's giving us a hint. Yeah.

I'm totally not. Broads are not in the list here. All right, no broads. That old term. Let's go with... I feel like a Nintendo... Yeah, Nintendo is what I... Yeah.

And people would have called it. a Nintendo, but really it's... N.S or NES. Yeah. Yeah, let's say NES or Nintendo or something. While I'm doing this, Brian, it looks like you got disconnected from the game. Refresh your screen, maybe? Really?

Oh, okay. You go that in there? Yeah, it's showing... For me, it's showing you as great. I don't know if it's... Oh, it's great for me as well. I see this screen, but yeah, it even says waiting for player to chill their drink. Weird. I'm looking right in. Oh, all right. Oh, development mode. Okay. What does that mean?

Oh, that makes me nervous. Oh, no. There we go. Now you're in. Okay. All right. What was your answer to you? Nintendo, right? Nintendo, yes. Yeah, okay. All right.

Show me a Nintendo. Yeah. Nintendo Entertainment System. Okay, that's good. It's not a toy. No, it's not. Matthew, what else do you think? Nobody put Go bots on here, right?

That didn't happen. Probably not. But what about the stretchy guy that we all are? Oh, Stretch Armstrong? Yeah, Stretch Armstrong. All right, Stretch Armstrong. Get him in. Put them in.

All right. Show me stretch Armstrong. Now poop. All right. All right. I'm in the list. I'm going to happen to, you know, go to the tadpool. I'm assuming these are all Facebook tadpool questions, right?

What do you mean Facebook? Do the surveys? No, I do it using Google sheets and we post links everywhere, Discord, Twitter. Yeah, we put it everywhere. I try to avoid all of it so I don't see anything. Yeah, good. I mean, it doesn't matter because you, you would only see the question. You wouldn't see the answers.

I'm surprised as you've done a way that there's no he man. I don't get it. It's weird. Yeah, well, I told you, people said it just not very high. Right. Or I guess I'm surprised. I guess I was going to, I was going to say go Joe, but after no he man, I'm like, I don't even know you people. Go Joe.

All right. You're going for the greatest American hero? G.I. Joe is there? No, I'm going with Star Wars. Oh, Kenner. Giving Kenner some love. Show me Star Wars. Yeah, Star Wars action figures, vehicles.

Some people even just put specific ones like their little Darth Vader action figure, so I just lumped them all into one. Good deal. That makes sense. I still have my original Chewbacca that supposedly is worth some good money because I still have the gun with it. But the dog chewed its head now. It has big old. Oh, no. Probably not worth much anymore. Nope, but I still have him.

I have him under glass, actually, inside of a little case, a little glass case, and his head's all mangled, and it's fine. It'll do. I found a box of mint on card, Power of the Force, Star Wars figures, including the Princess Leia that looked like a bat. The Princess Leia that had a really bad face. Oh, right. All mint on card, I'm trying to decide, do I take him? I try taking him to, like, a collector shop, and he's like, yeah, your best bat's going to be. taking them to like a convention and selling them at a table.

It's like, I don't want to buy a $300 table to sell like $250 worth of action figures. Yeah, that seems not good. So I got to figure out what I could take them again second and Charles, but I know I'm not going to get a whole lot for him. So I don't know what I'm going to do with these guys. eBay and stuff, they're good. They do this way. I could do eBay. That's true.

Yeah. Yeah. By one of us tadpoolers that are already going to a local convention. Well, that could be. Oh, that's not bad. But, I mean, it's going versus. A table there, right? Yeah.

If they had a table. Yeah. You just walk around with it in your jacket and go, hey. Like a trench coat, open it up and. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, buddy. Co-Plune. Would you like a co-ploon? How about the Death Star droid?

On a card. Yeah. Yeah, there go. Yeah. All right, who's two is it? All right. You're going to go Joe. I'm going to go Joe.

Go Joe. Go Joe. Go Joe. Go Joe. Show Joe. Show me go Joe. Number four on the list. Damn, the more you know.

Making a little bit of a game out of this, aren't we? Or not the more you know, no one's half to battle. That's what I meant. I can't figure out. It makes no sense to me because I can't figure out if it's mostly answers from before my childhood or after my childhood because it's weird how these are showing up. I'm a little surprised by these. It's both. My favorite character is there's no way they're on there.

But do you remember a little pink muscle men? Oh, yeah. I have some of those. I have like five of them. I love. The acronym muscle. I don't even know what it stood for, but they were the little, little wrestlers. Men using strong, bold.

Men using steroids. There you go. Yes. There you go. But I'm going to go with the little green army men because I'm thinking maybe I need to think like toy story and go kind of that way. You think, sure, the kids are in Andy's room. Okay. All right.

Show me. Little Armymen. Oops. Oh. I liked that, but I just brought the window forward. Army men. That's a no-good starter. It's an on-starter.

Armymen number 25 on the list. Three people described Armymen as being their favorite childhood toy. We need more 60s and 70s kids in the audience. By the way, Detrino in the tadpool said, did Brian say Coploon? What was that kid? That dude's name? The pointy-headed Jedi dude In the first

Oh, in the prequel. Yeah, a big tall cone head guy. Yeah, a cone head guy with a great, oh, Plowcun, is that it? Plowcun. Is it Plowcun? Just as dumb. Just as dumb a name, George Lucas. It's hideous.

It's terrible either way. It's awful. I've got one of those. If you want it, you know what, Natrino? Send me, email me your mailing address. I am sending you this Plow Coon action figure. Nice. And I'm not kidding it, you're getting it.

Mint on card. Mint on card. Just don't send it through Georgia. It comes with the little keychain thing that if you have the reader device, it'll play a sound that Plow Kuhn makes. What, really? What is that? Give it to us. What sound does he make?

I don't know. I don't know if he made any, did he say anything in the Force of the Phantom Menace? That's what he looks like. The sound it looks like you'd make. I want that so bad to be true. Oh, did I describe the wrong guy? Is that Keiati Mundi that I described? I don't know.

It's a big tall pointy head. What is, what is? Oh, right. Co ploon. Plow co-cune, whatever. Yeah, whatever. They're all bad. You're getting, I think you're getting Keatty Moondi.

I thought she was talking about the cone head guy, but I guess I didn't know. Yeah, I don't know. He has a mustache. The cone head guy is the guy I have an action figure for it. I thought his name was, uh, clearly. I thought his name was Po Kloon. All right. I can't remember who's turn.

It's ours. Matthew, because he just got buzzed. Matthew, I got an idea that I can't believe we haven't said yet. I'll bet it's number one. We should get Lego out of the way. What do you think of that?

Oh, yeah. That would certainly be good. That transcends generations. Everybody had tons of Lego, so I'm going to say, sure. All right. Show me Lego. Yeah.

There you go. There you go. D. All right. One answer on the board. What do you think? What do you think, Matthew? What do you think?

Tonka trucks. Oh, Tomka's great. Oh, man, I can tell where you're saying. I mean, that's mostly for us older guys, but yeah. Yeah. That's right. I feel all right about that. Let's do Tonka.

Okay. How's going to do it? Show me Tonka trucks. Shit. Oh, no. Number 28 on the list. People said it, but didn't make the top 10. Okay.

All right, Dunaway. Well, I only seen one, you know, more of a girl answer, Barbie. Not that you couldn't play with them, whatever. Sure, sure. But I'm not seeing very popular amongst both sexes. It's the, My Little Pony. Everybody loves to My Little Pony, right? Oh, sure, sure.

My little pony. You know the song. I know the song, sure. It was between, it was while I got up to refill my, Lucky Charms between commercial breaks. I'm sorry to morning cartoons. Show me, my little pony. Oh, my gosh.

Number 14. Really close. So two young for Tonka trucks. Yeah. Too old for G. Yeah. My little pony? Yeah, I think male-dominated audience is my guess, is why that happened.

Yeah, I don't even know what to tell you guys to, you know, direction to steer. You guys are both on your left. Maybe I'm going to, maybe I'm going to specific. Okay, maybe that's the problem. All right. How about this, Matt? How about we go hot? These are all very specific answers.

How about we go Hot Wheels? Oh, that's a good one. That's what you get at McDonald's. All right, show me hot wheels. Number three. Saving the day. Are they saving the day or making the way or paving the way? We're paving the way, making the way, making the way.

We're making the way of the world today. We're making our way downtown, moving fast. Making the way. Getting homebound. Do-do-do-do-do-do. All right, let's see. Hot wheels, saving the day. I loved my hot wheels because I had that track that I had a big freaking box of track

that I inherited from my uncle when he got too old to play with him. And I would have that thing going down the stairs around, tables and chairs and up. Oh, it was the best. Like trying to figure out how much velocity it needed to go up the chair. and then back down the other side of the chair and stuff. It was great. Yeah, I love that crap when I was a kid. How about a, how about Nerf?

Matthew, what do you get Nerf? Oh, see? Or nothing. I mean, it's going to be that or nothing, man. You got to do it. It became a term. Everyone uses Nerfed now. That's right, exactly.

What's funny is that Nerf never really got nerfed. Like, it's, you know, they never came out with a nerf thing that they had to nerf because it was. I guess there were some early guns that looked too real. They did have to scale that back. Oh, sure. They nerfed the Nerf guns. Yeah, that's true. But other than that, no, they're same as they ever were.

Show me Nerf. Oh, my gosh. Amazingly Nerf, not even, not on the list. And I was amazed to not even see Nerf anywhere. I'm blown away by that. Yeah, in the responses. Utterly blown away. That's not on there.

Okay. Well. Kelly 138, is that true? Non-expanding Rick Reefat. FOM. Is that really what NERF? Is NERF really? Is NERF really? That's amazing. I didn't know it was an acronym at all. Wow. That's awesome.

I thought it just sounded cool, like NERF. Yeah. I don't know. It's amazing. All right. We got three answers still left on the board. You can't, oh no, you could. You could. Let's see, what do we have? 23. Yeah, you could. You could. You could win. You could still win this. But oh, you know what, but even if you You, no, if you get the 10 and the 7, you'd get 17 plus your 9 would be 26, and you'd win and take those prizes right out of that. Let's not, let's not do that. Let's not do that. So I'm going to go, I'm going to go with Lightbright. I don't know.

Light Bright. You can see the one of my favorite toys. Sure. Was there a song for Light Bright? I don't remember there. Hell yeah. There's almost more of a song than there is a toy for Light Bright. my opinion. That's right. Yeah. Light, bright. Making things with light.

Okay. Oh, yeah. Now I record. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Those, those things. I feel like those hurt your feet as much as Legos, by the way. You step on a little light bright peg. Oh, they're the worst. Oh, they're the worst. Yeah. All right. Show me.

Light bright. Oh, shit. Oh, good game right there. Oh, my gosh. Well, we won by a lot then. Yay. You won't buy a lot. Matthew's going to get these prizes. All right.

Let's see what these other answers are. Number six, Game Boy. I feel so stupid, Scott. Well, I thought Brian was going to lump it all in a Nintendo. I thought he'd lump it all in Nintendo. No, and I'll show you number 10 since that is relevant. Are you kidding me? This is great.

Are you kidding me? People loved their Nintendo products. And then finally, number seven, these guys just had a movie come out this year, and I guess it was really cool. Slinky? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Oh, duh. Oh, yeah. Well, I was biting all over that.

I didn't figure that was going to be up there. Yeah. Also on the list, bicycle, Atari 2,600, teddy bear, books, cabbage patch kids. A lot of people said stick. I love how you pitied them just now, Loki, like a book. It's more like books. Is that a toy? Not really a toy.

It's something you may have loved as a kid. You're a sad childhood. Same number of people who said books also said stick, by the way. I wouldn't point that out. Stick. Big wheel. Linking logs. Light Bright was number 23.

Didn't make the list. Nintendo 64. Micronauts. A couple people showing the micronauts. Love. Poly Pocket. Yo-yo. Something called 2XL.

Is that a transformer? I don't know what that is. Never heard of it. Two people said that one. It was really interesting. American Girl dolls, BB guns, Beanie Babies, Erecter sets, micro machines, power arrangers, Rubik's cubes, strawberry shortcake, Voltron, and then a bunch of single ones like Bayblade and Cobra Commander, I guess that was Joe.

Colored pencils and paper. Constructs. Well, we know who the artists are. Yes, we do, exactly. Etch a sketch, making a sense. showing there. Fisher Price Firestar Rocket Spaceship. Very specific.

No memory. Furby. Ecto 1. Who the hell? Green machine. That cool big wheel alternative. Oh, I love the green machine. So much. Let's see. Lionel train sets.

A couple of people actually mentioned the Lionel train sets. Magic 8 ball. Somebody's favorite toy. The people that mention Lionel train sets, are they in hospice now or just some sort of care home? Were they actually allowed to play with theirs? Because my dad would never let me touch mine.

Yeah, no kidding. No, you'll screw it all up. My diorama. Pound puppies, remote control cars, Sega, Game Gear, $6 million-dollar-man action figure. Slinky did, there's where Slinky made the cut. Speak and spell, Spirograph. And finally, the Omega Virus.

Oh, great. Did anyone bring up Play-Doh? No Play-Doh on there. No Play-Doh. Yeah, no. It's kind of surprising, too. A little shocked by that. Like Play-Doh or Clay or anything like that. Even the Fuzzy Pumper Barbershop, you'd think would be like, all right, if you don't consider Play-Doh, then at least the Fuzzy Pumper Barbershop would be the toy. I'm really glad somebody didn't put a dead raccoon I found in a stick. That would have been bad.

Well, I mean, they said a lot of people said stick. Stick was fairly number 18 on the list was stick. Stick, highly available this year for Christmas. They're leaning full into the, well, you guys got it better than I do, because when I was a kid, we just had a stick. All we had was a stick and a dead raccoon. Well, well done, everybody, especially you, Matthew. Whoops, that's the wrong one. Congratulations.

You're a winner. You truly are a winner today, and you're going to get these codes sent directly to you via Discord. shortly, if he hasn't already. You are. Coming to him right. Just seconds. Dude, super stoked that the surgery was successful. Is this it for you?

You don't have to worry about it anymore? Or what's the... I'm a diabetic that has bad blood cells or blood vessels in my eyes. So unfortunately, it could come back. It has come back before. But it hopefully is temporary every time. All right. Did you ever end up 3D printing that dice box, by the way?

I bought a 3D printer and I managed to jack it up, so I'm waiting to get it repaired after I get back to work. That sounds like me. I did that to the one I had briefly. Totally jacked it up. Turn it into a not very good thing. Oh, no. It's a hat stand now.

Perfectly workable hat stand. I like making spaghetti out of mine. Yeah, you're good at it too, by the way. That's spaghetti you make. Congratulations. Well done. We'll talk to you next time. Brian Dunaway, we're going to do.

a show this weekend on Friday called Play Retro, and we're going to talk about the Game Boy Color. How is it held up? We've got an anniversary here. What does everyone still think? Twenty-five years. Yeah, long time. I love that thing. You'll learn all about the reasons why we love them and how Brian went through

serious hoops yesterday to make one to work with his GameCube. Oh, cool. Or no. Yeah, GameCube? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Game Boy player will hook to the bottom of your GameCube, and you could put it in your Game Boy, game boy color and game boy advanced games and if you had the Game Boy Advance link cable

you could actually control some of the games with that yeah it's pretty neat it's a weird thing I'm glad you went through that so I didn't have to but we'll talk all about that on on Friday also film sack this weekend Brian kiss our butts yeah he didn't respond I even gave him a little

second there but didn't do anything just too slow too slow um all right Brian let's see we have time for one news story. All right. And here comes, everyone. It's time for the news brought to you by.

Flimsy suckers. Yeah, look at this. I got this bag of lollipops, no sugar. Yeah. All right. Oh, very good. And they don't have any kind of binder in them. So when you take them out, they crumble all over the place.

Oh, geez. They're good. They're good. They're just sour and they're made of real fruit and that's great. but they just crumble. So what you do is you open them from the bottom with scissors, you pull out the stick, you put the stick in your mouth,

get it all wet, and then you jam it back into the lollipop powder like a licka stick or whatever those things were called. I can make little individual lick of sticks. Individual lick of sticks. All right, you've done it. These are vegan, Claire. You'll be excited.

Oh, that's nice. I don't tell you, by the way, do I show you that I picked them up. I picked up the sample pack of the smart suites. Like these are the Sourblast buddies. Oh, wow. They're totally washed out on camera. Those are good, though.

I've had those. Oh, yeah, yeah. I love those. Maybe that helps. There we go. Smart sweets. Yeah, those are great. Gummy worms.

They're a little more, I wish they weren't as much. They're a little pricey for how much you get. They are. Yeah. But that's how this health food crap goes. But I love those. Those are really good. They're really good. So far, loving the the gummy worms. I think that's what I'm

going to get a big bag of. Yeah, the worms are good. I got the samples just to try them out and see which ones I liked. The peach rings are also very good. They remind you. Ooh, peach rings. Yeah, I think those are in there too. Yeah. Cool. This story's very quick. I just wanted to make sure we did it today because we do Ted Pooley feud on all the days. Oh, yeah. Perfect day for this. Back in the Dawson era, Richard Dawson hosted the feud back in the 70s

and stuff. Family feud contestants, allegedly, were given herpes tests before they could go out there. And they did it because he famously would kiss the contestants. He would kiss everybody on the mouth. Well, he'd kiss all the women on the mouth.

All the women on the mouth. The men he would touch weeners with. That's how they'd go, hello, darling. And then he'd kiss them on the lips. Name something you find in your husband's pants. And then they'd think, oh gosh, I just don't know. Various contestants allege that they had to take herpes test during Dawson's time as host from 76 to 85, and again from 94 to 95. Was he doing it in 94 to 95? I don't remember that.

I knew he did it through the 80s, so it doesn't surprise me that he... Yeah, but jumped a decade. So he must have come, yeah, he must have come back for like special episodes or something. Yeah. Contestant revealed that before her appearance, a family feud production assistant entered the dressing room with a magnifying glass and a cotton swab and said, okay everybody line up for your herpes test the test came because both viewers and doctors are concerned one viewer complained

Richard Dawson spreads more bugs every week than flu epidemic says the book oh they're worried about well yeah but they're worried about them having herpes giving it to him right right but he's no one no one thinks about what he's given people yeah by the way he died in 2012

of esophageal cancer now he smoked a lot yeah so probably that's where that came from, well, maybe it was from kissing a lady. It was like the kiss, you know, esophageal cancer is the kissing disease. The kissing disease now. That's right. Forget about mono. Yeah, yeah. That's the esophageal cancer is the new mono. There's your one hot news story, everyone. We're going to take a break. When we come back,

Tom Merritt will join us. We'll talk a little tech like we do on Wednesdays. That's all coming up after this. What are you playing? Love it. Thomas Emeritus. Hey, I've got a song from a band a band called Gonzales Smith. They have a brand new album called Roll up a song.

They've got a couple of, well, it's a couple of things that look like when I asked, when Hammond asked you guys to make clay representations of me.

That's what the album cover looks like. That's made up of a couple guys, one of whom you might know. Jay Gonzalez is the singer-songwriter from Drive-by Truckers and cult comedy writer

Pete Smith. These guys got together and put out an album, mostly about girlfriends ones that got away, ones that he can't believe didn't, and ones that he wishes had. Wow. This is a song that I don't think is about a girlfriend called Jolato. Here is Gonzales Smith.

I have a sweet girl like gelato. When I taste the creamy lips, I go in communikado. She's like a fine wine, a moscato. One intoxicating sip, and I'm reaffectionado. She's my girlfriend, as of yesterday, I met her in a small cafe. She'd a dish of creme brulee. Girlfriend, she'll tell you it's true. She's in love with me and I'll be with you.

I'm a sweet girl. Her creamy lips and In communica She's my girlfriend As of yesterday I met her in a small cafe Shared a dish of creme bruley Ask my girlfriend

Tell you it's true She's in love with me And I'm with you She's in love with me and I'm with you. She's my girlfriend As of yesterday She's in love with me And I'm with you

She's my girlfriend As of yesterday She's in love with me And I'm with you Mega Man, you must go after him We don't know who he is And it's dangerous to leave him alone Stick your hand in the cage

And you just might lose it And we've returned. Who was that? That was Gonzales Smith, made up of comedy writer and lead singer of drive-by truckers. That's their brand new song, Jolado, from their new album, Roll Up a Song. That sounds fantastic. Yeah. Pull up a chair and listen to Roll up a song. Roll up a chair.

Roll up a chair. Roll up your ears. Roll up a song. And then roll them back out again. All these things are true. We want Tom. we want Tom we want Tom yay yay it's Tom we want him and he's here we commanded him to be here and he's here hi Tom Merritt how the heck are you oh I'm just peachy how are you both you know doing all right

making it work making it happen making it rain yeah making it a rain how is how's how's your holiday season do you feel do you feel festive and all that stuff yeah I guess yeah you know it's it's it's on a slow boil but it's getting there sure put up the tree last weekend you know stuff like that you're like us you have a boss who overworks you and doesn't give you time off you that's right yeah yeah although you're pretty good about it i'm we're taking a we're taking a card from your deck this year because you're really great about the week of christmas of having either things pre-prepped and done but like people are off we're doing that here on tms this year and i'm very excited yeah who's gonna run the show then nobody there's no show during the

week of christmas you should get a chat we're not even we're not even gonna oh chat pot would be great yeah We're not even going to let Bill and who did it. That one time that we didn't do a show and Bill. Bill Durand? Bill Durand. Maybe it might have been Justin. Was it jury? Bill and jury did it?

It seems like something Justin would say yes to. I can't remember. I think so, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It was a long time ago. But, you know, it's whatever. It's the holidays. It's a Christmas miracle.

And of course, Tom's here again talking about what's going on in tech. Tom, what is going on in tech? I must know. Well, the big news today is, is Google announcing its new large language model Gemini, and we'll talk about that plenty on DTNS today, but I thought

that on the morning stream, we might focus a little on the fact that Twitch is leaving South Korea. Oh, I hadn't read this yet. That must be breaking news. Yeah. Leaving South Korea. It will cease all operations in South Korea

on February 27th because of prohibitively expensive networking fees. Okay. that's crazy because you think about like early days of Twitch and Justin.tv and stuff it was all StarCraft

or a lot of it was StarCraft and huge in South Korea. And League of Legends is huge there too. Oh yeah and that's still going on. So because it's local, they're going to have they have their own banks of local server servers there and stuff to help run things is that's where it's expensive? So Korea

in 2016 started implementing something called sending party network pays, the SPNP model, which says that if you are at a sufficient traffic level, I think it's a million somethings, a million megabytes, million gigabytes, if you're huge, right, if you're a big player sending a lot of traffic into a network, you have to compensate that network. It's a government-mandated system. So if you are Twitch and you're operating in South Korea, you have to compensate SK Telecom, LGU Plus, all the ISPs for the amount of traffic sent to users in your network.

And it has caused prices to skyrocket for lots of things. Netflix raised its prices in South Korea 13%. Now, they've been raising prices everywhere, so it might not be just because of this, but they are also fighting a lawsuit about how much they should pay. Google just doesn't pay and is sort of saying you want us to shut off Google just let us know

which I think neighbor would love but it is a bad idea to mandate this it is increased latency it has increased the cost of internet service it has increased the cost of other

services like Netflix it has put a break on startups joining and essentially it has benefited no one but the ISPs and potentially some people in the government I guess and Twitch is the first big name not the first name altogether but the first big name because it's Amazon backed to say you know what it's just too much

we're just not going to operate in one of the biggest e-sports markets in the world yeah do you do you think that they balk at this and and walk back not not Twitch but the organization or the the the fees back up and say, nope, I'm sorry, we've overdone it. Come back, Twitch, we won't charge you anything. We'll do like Google, and you just don't have to pay.

Yeah, I mean, I don't think they do that right away, or they probably would have come to some agreement already. It seems like both sides are pretty dug in here. This has been going on since 2016, and they doubled down in 2020 with new rules and tried to tighten up the rules. So it does feel like the government is, and the communications, Commission in Korea are digging in and saying, no, no, we want to do this. The other interesting thing is the EU is considering a similar law. And so everybody's looking at what happens in South

Korea as a model. I think Amazon and specifically Twitch have done this because not as a negotiating tactic alone, although I think they'd like to use it that way, but because it's just true. I think they're like, it's just too expensive. We are losing money in South Korea. They've already talked about setting up a plan to move Korean Twitch streamers to other services. So they're trying to be good to the people, to the streamers. But I think it's just a balance sheet item of like, yeah, we can't afford to do it. Congratulations, Korea. You've made it too expensive to operate in your country.

So we're pulling out. I don't think it's a, you know, call my bluff. And if you don't, maybe we'll come creeping back in. It really does feel like it's just down to numbers. That seems crazy to me. When you were there not long ago on vacation, did you feel like, did you consider storming the regulatory building? No, I didn't. And actually, I found my service, my internet service to be pretty good, but I wasn't doing anything particularly latency sensitive while I was there.

And supposedly it has slowed down the rollout of 5G. And that is one thing I noticed for Korea, which is usually on the cutting edge of this stuff, there were more places where I dropped down to LTE than I would have expected. and this explains why. Yeah, I guess so. Also, you know, you just alluded to it, but South Korea has always had this reputation of more infrastructure for high-speed internet, more broadband, way ahead of the curve in that regard.

And this just feels so backtracky, so weird. Yeah, it's interesting because one of the reasons they have such a reputation for high bandwidth availability is they passed a law that said, you can't stop someone from stringing up the wires. So rather than mandate net neutrality or anything like that, they made it easy for competitors to offer service. So if you go to an apartment building in Seoul,

you'll often find four, maybe five sets of wires going into that apartment for the various internet companies, all fiber. They just made it easy to roll out fiber and easy to provide the service, but promoted competition that way, and that's what drove the rollouts and drove the availability and drove up the speeds. In this case, the government intervention is not having the proper effect. It is causing a reduction in service and a rise in prices. So one government intervention was calibrated the right way. This one doesn't seem to be. Well, more on that on the Daily Tech News show. We'll dig a little deeper. And it's my day, so I'll be on there. It's going to be great. I can't wait.

I always look forward to being on the show. Tom, is there anything else happening with said show or anything else you got going on right now? Yeah, there's all kinds of things going on every day. And as I've been telling folks, if you want my unique perspective unfiltered on the tech news, you'll get it on Daily Tech News show for nothing. But I also write up a more personal version of it in my Substack Newsletter. So that's another option for you. and it gets a little more of my opinion into things if you're into that.

So you can check that out. FreeTechnewsletter.com gets you one issue of that a week. But I put it out daily if you're willing to subscribe as well. So go check it out. Go do it. It's Tom Merritt, everybody. You know him, you love him. Tom will see you later this afternoon.

Thank you. Bye now. Oh, I can't hang out of those things. I know him and love him. Yeah, you don't need to just love him or just know him. You can do both. No, both is both are great. Yeah, both.

Both, both, both. Both. Both are great. Both are good. Wait, wait. Did I say both? Waint, both? Wained a minute. Oh, wained a minute. Wained a minute. I like wained a minute. That's pretty good. All right. I probably said, wait a minute. Oh, well, either one's good. Both are wrong and both are things I probably say. All right. We're going to bring Randy and Nicole in on this fun today. And it's going to be great. Although, Nicole's not online? Well, I don't know. We'll figure it out. Here's this. Well, what do you recommend? Ah, yes, that music can only mean one thing.

It's time for recommendals. And joining us today so far anyway, Randy Jordan. Hello, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian. Hello. Happy day.

Oh, happy day. It's beautiful. Is it a happy day for you? Yes, it is. You still have some time off, right? You're enjoying some holiday time? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. This has been the busiest, like the last 10 days have been the busiest I've ever had at work.

But right now, right now I haven't gone to work yet. I'm just sitting at home feeling great. You and I need to have an off-air conversation about why classic is so popular. We've got to talk about it. I have the data. I can inform that conversation. I would love to talk to you about it. I know it's stuff we can't say publicly,

but I'd love to just under, I have some questions, all right? I got questions. We also have Nicole on the line. Hello, Nicole. Welcome back. Hi. Hi.

Hi. Thanks. Good to have you here. Here I am. Thanks. I was just spraying, spraying some, some sandpaper. Oh, spraying sandpaper.

Spraying sandpaper? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you spray it with? Nothing. Never mind. Now this sounds a little shady. What were you really doing? Some kind of sex thing with Mark.

It's fine. Whatever. Whatever. Yeah, what is that a euphemism for? You're going to do a little spraying of the sandpaper. Do you know what I mean? Sandpaper with compressed air to get the bits off it? Sure, sure.

I'll bet I know what it is. I think I know what it is. Can I guess? You don't have to tell me from right. No, it's all right. All right. I won't think it's a heat thing. I think it's a heat thing.

That's going to be my guess. There's some kind of sand, automatic sander thing. If you make it wet, then it's less, less abraser. I love non-woodworkers trying to figure. I don't work wood ever. I can tell you that. Oh, my God. So to speak.

Let's dive in. Hey, you guys. Check it out. So many people. We got a whole list of great stuff to recommend today. And Brian's going to start like you always does. Brian, what's your clip and what do we do? Well, it's Christmas time.

and the movie I had has absolutely anything to the Christmas so that doesn't matter. No, mine is a film that I talked about or alleged to earlier this week that

like critics gave it really high scores but the general public just doesn't seem to want to watch a movie that all takes place in one location. I don't understand it. But you're going to hear

a 911 operator answer a call in this clip. All right, here we go. 911 emergency operator 624. What is the address of your emergency? 911, what is the address of your emergency? Hi, sweetie.

Sorry, you called 911. Yes. You need help? Yes. Okay, Emily, are you at 5,800 Regis Street apartment 6? Don't be afraid. Are you even drinking? No, I haven't.

Why did you call us? I just want to talk to you. Okay, I'm hanging out. I'm just out for a drive, sweetie, okay? Come on, come on, huh? Who is that? Yes, I understand. Is there someone with you?

Okay, that's enough. Emily. Is the person who would know you called us? No. Who do they think you called? Yes, yes, sweetie. Your child? Yes.

Okay, Emily, I'm going to ask you yes or no question. you know the person you're with uh-huh wow i'm all in on this i love this kind of stuff yeah this is uh this is a film called the guilty it's on uh netflix uh that's uh jake jillenhall or gillenhall sorry that you're hearing right there and he basically has to carry the film he is a 911 operator the only

the only other people in the film i mean there are a couple people also in the um in the 911 center obviously that he interacts with But for the most part, hearing these calls or these people over the phone, and he's trying to find out where this woman is and get her some help because obviously she's in a situation that she can't be open and clear about over the phone. That, by the way, it was Riley Keough that you hear her on the phone. You also get voice work from Ethan Hawk, Paul Dano, Peter Sarsgaard. Really, really good cast on this, but of course it's a very gripping, suspenseful. drama that all just happens to take place in one single location. And what's funny is a lot of people

on Rotten Tomatoes complain about that. They're like this movie, you know, is really suspenseful, but it only takes place in one location. And you only see one person. You ever ever see the people he's talking to, which sucks. It's like, no, I think that adds to the drama of it. It's a remake, which is another complaint people had a Danish film in 2018. but this is Antoine Fuqua's interpretation of that or his remake of that. Oh, I like Antoine Fuqua movies.

Who doesn't? I mean, Training Day, right? Replacement killers. They're kind of a, I know they sometimes get in, they're sometimes divisive. Like, I really like the remake of Magnificent Seven. A lot of people didn't. It's like kind of a mix there.

I forgot he did that. Yeah. So there's a lot of that sort of thing, but I really like him. I mean, it seems like it's the, So I misunderstood you. I thought it was the critics who didn't like it, and the audience did. It's the other way around. It's the other way around.

Yeah, critics really liked it. And you look at Rotten Tomatoes and you look at those reviews and it's like, you know, people who just have such a hard time with a film that takes place in one location. Huh. Yeah, I got a vibe. Fuku's been super hit and miss, though. Like, you just might forget his misses. You know, he missed terribly with King Arthur and Tears of the Sun and Olympus has fallen. and, like, we sack most of these movies.

It's like, you know, like, it's, he's a perfectly good filmmaker, but he has to, he has to be working with, like, a great script. And I'm hopeful for this one. Sounds like a great script. Yeah, yeah, this is a really good script. And, and, my gosh, Jake Yeelin-Hall is, uh, his character is not without his faults. Like, this guy, he's got his own personal issues that he's dealing with. Um, the guilty could just as much apply to him as it does. the woman's

a doctor that he's talking to on the phone he's a broken man doing this job that he really that he really hates and explains why he's doing this job and so it's not just a you know

it's it's certainly not cut and dry good guy woman on the phone with a bad guy etc it goes way way more complicated than that and it's brilliant takes place in California and so trying to figure out what's going on while there's a wildfire

happening at the same time so a lot of emergency services are tied up with that it's a very, very good film. Again, it's called The Guilty and you'll find it on Netflix. Nice. I didn't know he produced, he didn't direct, but he was

a producer on Bullet Train, which I finally watched. Freaking. Oh, really? Freaking loved Bullet Train. Yeah, that's a great it's a fun flick. I had a great time with that movie. I thought it was fun as hell.

Edgy, cool. Brad Pitt cracked me up. It was great. Totally enjoyed it. Nice little, uh, Sondra appearance of there. A little cameo at the, uh, the end of the film. Yeah, a few weird cameos, like, yes, that's true, actually.

I didn't see that, um, I can't think of his name all of a sudden. Uh, he was the main bad guy. Uh, anyway, and I couldn't see that coming. There was like a bunch of characters and I was like, holy crap, what are you doing in this movie? Yeah, right, right, right. All right, well, there you go. That sounds good. The guilty, available now.

The guilty on Netflix. The guilty starring Yelan Hall. Yelling Hall. Yeah, hey, Nicole, let's go with you next. How do you want to set up this one? That's a very short clip, but we got it. What do you want? I would assume everyone's seen this, but I watch it almost religiously every holiday season.

It's streaming on Hulu. know immediately I have t-shirts with this clip so there you go all right here you go t-shirt with quote from movie excellent oh I love it oh this which makes it even they're ugly sweaters with a quote there's two of them and you'll figure out which one's which okay that's exactly how it should be here we go well obviously something had to break the window something had to hit the stereo And why is the carpet all wet, Todd? I don't know, Margo.

Oh, my God. Todd Margo. Christopher Guest brother. It's Christopher Guest brother that plays Todd, right? Do I'm remembering that right? No, no, no. It's the guy from back to the future. No, I think it's Christopher Guest brother.

Hold on. I watch this movie every year, and I don't know. Yeah. Well, see, here's the fun thing about this movie. I've seen it so many times that almost every year, I will notice just a little extra something, like, just the nuances to this film. So, of course, that was the neighbors. Oh, was I right? Okay.

I like being right. Nicholas. Nicholas. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, this is a good movie, Nicole, to watch every year. It's like a, you know, you throw elf, you throw. Howley Grinch stole Christmas, the original cartoon,

and this one into the mix every year. Some people do love Actually. I always end Christmas Eve with Bad Santa every year at the stroke of midnight. I am sitting alone in the living room watching Bad Santa. Yeah, Team Deluxea Johnson or however we do ours, I am wayed. I love that movie. So good. But yeah, so Nicole, like this one obviously, I think, feel like everybody's

seen it, but what is it that draws you every time? Why do you watch it every year and multiple times? Oh, it's just ridiculously funny. Like, they had it on TNT. I was in the hotel when I went up to the Mayo Clinic and it, they had it running 24 hours. I must, I'm not kidding you. I watched it at least 10 times when I was there and I never get tired of it. For me, personally, I just, I love just, it's so easy to quote like, yeah. Well, we haven't said the name of the movie at National Ampoon's Christmas Vacation. Oh, yeah, if that wasn't obvious. Shit out of luck.com.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. Yeah, it's great. Also, John Hughes directed this. So this is a John Hughes movie. And it kind of shows because all the other vacation movies. He wrote it. Didn't direct it just for the clarification.

Oh, he wrote it. Yeah, I wrote it. Sorry. Yeah. But this one hits just differently than all the other vacation movies. I agree. It makes it the best one. I think he's the reason. I think the cast is crazy good. And it's probably the best Randy Quaid.

Yes. Yeah, it's kind of the only Randy Quaid I'll allow in my life. Like, I will tolerate him in Independence Day, but that is really it. Like, he is great in this movie. And he's just terrible all the other times. I like him in Kingpin. Kingpin's all right. He has a moment you're doing there. Oh, yeah. I forgot about Kingpin. Yeah. But other than that, you're probably right. William Hickey is one of my favorite dead actors of all time. I love that guy.

I could listen to him talk all day about stupid stuff, play his Uncle Lewis. May Questle is Bethany is one of the greatest characters ever, and she's the original voice of, was it, Betty Boop, I think, back in the day. He died years ago. Yep. The black thing.

I just love, there was like a 30th anniversary picture a few years ago, like the the bunch of the stars of this movie got together for a photo and i just loved seeing you know like beverly de angelo and juliet louis and julia louis and they're all in this one picture and there's the most successful person from this movie now johnny golecky yeah he did all right he was uh he was arrested for he doesn't he doesn't look like himself no you once you're really easy to know that's not yeah once you get told it tim then you're like oh, I can totally see it. But yeah, he doesn't jump out.

Because he doesn't have glasses in this, right? It's, uh, yeah. Yeah. I really like, I always think of him as the Big Bang Theory glasses look. I also think Juliet Lewis as Audrey is my favorite Audrey of all the movies. I like her a lot on that. I agree.

Yeah. She's good. Yeah. It's a great, it's a great holiday movie. And I know some people, I've had people tell me recently. That movie's not as funny as everyone thinks it is.

It's kind of cheap laughs and a lot of prat falls and all that. I will say the, the, the, moment when he does the sledding, I don't, I could do without that. I hate that whole scene. That scene sucks. Yeah. Because it wouldn't work that way. All he did was butter up the dish. He, he wouldn't go like the flash and create sparks and flames behind him. Right. It's too much. Yeah, that was a that was a, a shutdown SNL skit.

Yeah. Yeah. I could also do without him daydreaming about a supermodel by a pool. But then there are other moments where I could totally not see that scene over and over again but like there's other moments where I'm like he's sitting in this attic by himself and he's put on all the old clothes that he can find because he's cold up there and he's watching family films and I'm just like

I'm ready to cry here this is so touching yes but then the door opens and he falls then he falls through the ceiling and based on scene before you know that's not the distance between the ceiling and the back right there's a bunch of there's a bunch of little holes in it it's not perfect but it has it has heart where it needs it I think that balances it out and I love it I love that movie there's a cutout scene that I've never seen

it's a lost scene when they're going to cut down the Christmas tree they actually have an interaction they're going to a Christmas tree kind of farm and they actually have an interaction with an actor they get cut from the movie i've never seen this scene oh weird i think they yeah so and there's a reason why they go off looking for a tree and that's kind of the scene that gets set up but they cut that out i don't know why they cut it out interesting i think it's on the back of maybe uh one of the dvds or something like that but yeah i've never seen the scene the guy that plays clark's dad john randolph i love that actor just just wanted to put it out there what a one of all yeah the parents all the parents parents are great doris roberts who played uh uh what's his name's mom

on uh everybody loves raymond she's great yes yeah they're all good what a cast uh chivy chaise are you know no no uh well there you go available where hulu hulu uh all right randy i'm eventually t and t and t gets all that shit oh we're not yeah randy Let's dive into yours. We've got a clip. What do you want to do? It's Hulu week, and I'm here to make the case for you to subscribe to Hulu for the holidays because there are so many things on there for you to watch that you're not going to get anywhere else.

And this one may be the best of Hulu. We're talking about it because I called my sister on her birthday, and she had just finished watching this. And she was so happy. And she's like, have you seen it? It makes you happy. I like happy things. Here it is. If someone wants to come in and they want to romanticize this town

and say these positive things about this town you're so proud of and put it on the map, I'm not going to be the one to be bitter and jealous about that just because I'd be so desperately wishing it would happen to my football club. I'm rexham going up this season. I don't know how you don't root for a town like Rexham. See, like, this is our relationship writ large. I'm telling people to fuck off.

and he's saying, well, hold on a second. Now, maybe there's a different way of looking at this. Maybe if we can welcome more people. I agree with your assessment too. I mean, they can right off. But, yeah, I like, I'm fascinated by how that sort of conversation happens. It's so nice. He's so nice.

No, not nice kind. No, no. Season two, eh? I love those two guys. Season two of Welcome to Rexon seems like a miracle to me because it's so good. And after the first season, they don't deserve this much goodness. Like, it just doesn't make sense. Like, are there going to be 17 seasons of this show now?

Like, it's just so good. And it's so uplifting. And of course, like, my sister said, she knew nothing about soccer. She's like, I couldn't care less about soccer. And this is my favorite thing on streaming right now. And it's because of all of the. the stories and the people and the town and the intrigue and so on. And Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, they're, they're the perfect people for this. You couldn't have better

people to talk to a camera in a long-form documentary. Do you think they're riding the wave of Ted Lasso? No. For sure. No, you think so. I think definitely people are interested in this more because of Ted Lasso than if there wasn't the popularity. Well, I mean, I asked my sister. I'm like, so what did you think of Ted Lasso? And she's like, well, that's different, isn't it? And I'm like, yeah, it is. It's a, you know, it's a fictional, you know, dromedy, right? Whereas this is a,

this is a documentary about things that are really happening, like people that are really, like, there's people in this documentary that are suffering, like townspeople who have real things and like they're being impacted by these two Hollywood guys. And like, it is. It's just very different. Because I don't feel like Welcome to Rexum is about soccer. The soccer is very key.

to the whole story, but it could have been, I don't know, it could have been a charter boat company in a failing town somewhere. You know what I'm saying? You could also make the argument that Ted Lassau is barely about soccer as well, and it's about the people that the interactions and the relationships between those people. I think they even say that at the end. Yeah. It's like Friday Night Lights.

Friday Night Lights was never so much about football as it was. Those people could have been, you know, volleyball could have been. anything really didn't even have to be sports but but i take your point like this is a more uh realist i mean documentary versus scripted obviously that's a huge difference but um yeah i i i still haven't seen this at all so i haven't either and i want to yeah i want to too it's so heartwarming it's perfect for the holidays absolutely perfect it comes in 30 minute chunks um something something like 14 episodes per season something like that you can just you can just tear through it put it on any time and you get to know you get to know random people that you would have never

even really thought about and their lives are very interesting and cool and and like I say you have this back and forth between Hollywood or Philadelphia and Rob McElhenney's case this guy is so Philadelphia it's it's it's hard to believe but well it's always sunny there so he likes it there it's always sunny yeah yeah and and Nicole have you watched any of Wrexham? I have not, but I did enjoy Ted Lassow, and that's why I was asking. Yeah. It feels like if I liked Ted Lassow, I would probably like this as well. Yeah. My case for it is that it's heartwarming, and it's a very well-constructed documentary. Like, whoever are behind the cameras and the editors and so forth of this thing, I want to see

them make all the documentaries. It's so nice. Like, it's, like, there's not a wasted moment. There's, you know, the rise and fall of emotion constantly. And somehow the second season levels up on the first. It's hard to believe. Well, I definitely need to get around to it. I like what the boy who cried dim woofed in the chat says. That's a big name.

He says, hey, it's the Mint Mobile spokesman. Yeah, that's Ryan Reynolds to some people, I guess. Yeah, they actually, like, early on in the first season, they actually kind of dig into how Rob McElheny and, and Ryan Reynolds are sort of approaching this, like, because one is clearly way more wealthy than the other. So they have to, you know, they have to find a way to not ruin themselves. And so you're like, the very first episode, they, they name all of Ryan Reynolds businesses.

And it's a lot. Yeah. Their relationship cracks me up. I think those two are really great together. So. Well, and they've got a guy who was just a writer for one of their, you know, know, one of their shows or whatever, that got to be like a personal assistant type for Ryan Reynolds. And that guy happens to be from Wales. And so they just put him in charge of

their football operations on the ground. And this guy is really interesting. He's like really smart and cool. And he's like, he's your worst nightmare if you're in a business, right? Someone from the outside coming in and being given a lot of authority. He actually like learns as he goes and get, you know, let's people be their best selves. And like, there's just all, there's all sorts of things to discover in this, in this show. All right. I mean, it has been on

my list forever. I've got to finally watch the damn thing. All right. Let's move on to mine. This is a quick one. This is a movie that showed up on Netflix. And this may have been recommended before. I couldn't find it in our list. So, uh, it felt safe. I know I talked about it. I don't know if I recommend it because I saw it in

theaters. That may have been it. Because I do remember some discussion about it. Um, I finally got around to seeing it. I'm very glad I did. Here's my clip. Why went you drafted into the Vietnam War? I went to college, sir. How do you feel about Vietnam? I have mixed feelings, sir. Would you call yourself a womanizer? No, I would not, sir. You frequent nightclubs? No, sir. Do you drink? Only on special occasions, sir. Ever done any drugs? Only those prescribed by my doctor, sir. Well, that's kind of rare for a young, hip, soul brother like you. Uh, Yes, sir.

But my father was in the military. And my parents, they raised me the right way. How do you get along with people generally? Sir, they treat me right? I treat them right. Like I said before, I was raised up the right way. I mean, have you ever had any negative? What would you do if another cop called you a...

Or worse? Would that happen, sir? She... Jeez, I wonder why Scott chose that clip. Yeah, I wonder. I wonder what I was thinking, because... That's hilarious. love Whitlock. What's his full name? Isaiah Whitlock, Jr. And I can't believe that's a thing he's known

for on the wire, right? Yeah, yeah. I swear to you, Spike Lee must have just said, do one of those in here. Just do one. Exactly, yeah. Anyway, this is 2018's Black Klansman, directed by Spike Lee, and written by a bunch of people. It's based on a book and a real story, starring John David Washington, Adam Driver, Alec Baldwin, in a very brief role. Pretty brief for Isaiah of Whitlock Jr. As well, but anyway, a bunch of cool people. One guy who looks

just like, oh, where is he? I can't find him. He looks like modern day Michael Bean, but it's not him. It's some guy that was in those Viking shows. Anyway, here's the deal. I meant to see this. It was a big Oscar buzz movie. Brian

raved about it when you talked about it. People were saying this is the best thing Spike Lee's done in years, blah, blah, blah. So I was all excited to finally see it. And what I got was awesome. What I didn't expect was for it to be, oh, Tofer Grace, forgot to mention him. Although he's playing one of the worst human beings in the history of the planet.

But anyway, I didn't expect it to be as fun as it was. And this is a Spike Lee thing that I think he deserves more credit for more often, which is he can talk about really serious stuff, like race relations and issues. in the 70s and the rise of white nationalism on the backs of it previously being tamped down some. He can talk about these very serious issues and have a good time doing it. And there are moments in this movie that made me laugh out loud. I think that John David Washington's portrayal is brilliant and funny and also serious when it needs to be. And I loved every freaking

second of this movie. I really liked it a lot. And I think it deserved all the praise it got. And I also like that this is an Adam Driver role that is like way subdued and not a flashy role at all. He really just is there to support John David Washington's character

in this. Yeah, he's great. By the way, I love these like Oscar this Oscar nom kick that you've been on with this and the whale and Axar Ridge. Haxar Ridge. It gives me hope that might

you know, sometime you might actually get to Oscar winners. Well, here's what's funny. I am, I tend to be a, with very few exceptions, I tend to be a out of the hype bubble watcher. I kind of don't like things when it's all happening in the hype bubble. You have this, I can absolutely verify that. And I don't know what that is.

My sister maybe could speak to it. It's not just movies, but games, things like that. Like if there is a big buzz around something, it pushes you away like it tends to turn you off from it all anyone's talking right now in MMOs

is talking about the resurgence of wow and wow classic guess what Scott's doing he's playing Guild Wars 2 hey guess what a new Marvel game's out earlier in the year what's it called it's called Midnight Suns it's incredible you should play it everyone should play it Scott put it off and now is playing it in December and I owned it then I bought it then

it's not that I didn't want it I have this thing where I don't like the hype bubble just distracts me and makes me not feel like I'm fully invested just for what it is instead of what everyone thinks it is. Is it also a little contrarianism? Oh, totally. That's what I think I'm trying to get to that, which is I don't like the, I don't like

going mainstream. I hate mainstream flow. I hate it. That's an artist thing. Even if the herd is, is right about something you still, you don't want to follow the. No, not necessarily. I get it. I get it.

Yeah, totally get it. Somebody may say, oh, what about Fury Road? That was pretty mainstream. Well, yeah, but it was also, it was also contrarian in its own way. Like, in a weird way, it was almost like, this movie's here to be different than anything else that exists. And hype or not, who cares, it's, it's that much of a shocking thing to see. So I make exceptions, but for the most part, when the hype is super heavy, I put it off. Like, that's the whole parasite thing.

I'm telling you. Yeah. The whole reason I put it off is because that hype bubble was so intense. So much of that hype bubble probably came from me talking about how, you know, how great it was and how you need to watch it. Can I ask you real quick about some Oscar winners? I just, I'm curious now because a bunch of Oscar winners are kind of small. So like, did you watch Coda? No, still haven't seen Cota. Same problem, though, but I'll see, I will see Cota. I want to. Even smaller, Nomad Land. Did you see that? I did see that, but I saw it later.

He definitely watched Francis McDormand poop in a bucket. Yeah, I needed that in my life. I had to have that. Did you see Green Book? No, still haven't seen Green Book, want to. Oh, wow. How about Moonlight? Did you see Moonlight?

Yes, I liked Moonlight. I thought it was called La La Land. Wait a minute. Oh, no, I didn't see Moonlight. I saw, the big short was one I saw right away, and I saw... Spotlight is the one you're thinking of. Oh, spotlight's what I'm thinking of, yeah. I saw that right away.

So sometimes I do. It's funny, most of them are social commentary stuff that I see right away, but Black Klansman was a social commentary, and I don't know why I didn't see it then. I think I just felt like I need to get out of the cloud so I'm not distracted by anything but my own enjoyment. Like I just want to be, it's hard to explain. I don't know why. There's nothing wrong with that at all.

Just the fact that you're getting to these makes me really happy. It makes me really excited to be able to talk about these movies that I was all excited about during their Oscar season and never got to talk with anyone but Tina about. Yeah, and this one's awesome. So get it, watch it, it's Netflix. So we got a split today. We got Netflix and Hulu having a fight. Tulu and two flicks.

It's available still, I believe. I don't think they pulled it. There's always a change at the beginning of the month, and I didn't check, but I don't think they pulled it. I think it's still there. Anyway, oh, yeah, it is. I have one more question for you. Have you seen Slumdog Millionaire?

Did you ever watch that? It's the only Danny Boyle movie I've never seen. Oh, wow. And again, the hype on that thing was out. And it was out of control hype, though. It was so much. But I saw sunshine the night it opened. And no one, you know, that's not a giant hit.

In fact, it lost money in theaters. But I love that movie. I love Danny Boyle movies. But for whatever reason, I put that one off and I still haven't seen it. Same thing. Yeah, I don't want to like make a trend out of just the movies you happen to have not seen. I don't think that that's worth anybody's time, but I am interested in how you're an artist, and so you're trying to think of the new, and if a bunch of people around you are talking about a thing, that's a distraction from you thinking about something that's new and novel, right? Kind of, yeah, I also, you know, I prefer things that are a little more, I don't know how to explain it.

Like I'm reading outside the popular, yeah, I read books. I read books no one's heard. of and I think there's real gems in there but the minute one of those takes off I'm kind of annoyed it's weird right it's weird I don't know what that is inside of me but it's a thing I've always done even when I think I feel like some best pictures are more safe than others like Argo I'm sure you've seen Argo no what no wow no oh okay never mind then I'm wrong if you're in the like genre stuff you know I saw return of the king the second I it came sure things like that i'm always kind of in on i'm a little pooped on marvel movies right now in theaters anyway but um yes oh guess what you've got you've got plenty of time to get unpooped

with that yeah yeah and there's i'm clearly not alone the way box office receipts are going yeah um but but yeah like it it depends so like furiosa comes out next year i am blind to any hype i don't care i'm going day one i don't i am the hype let's let's go but but that's a weird exception and most of the time I get weird about it. So I don't know. I blame my parents. Who knows what happened there growing up? We'll let Wendy deal with it on a third day. I blame my parents from my love of movies because I was restricted and I had to sneak out to see movies. And that's like that'll get you as a kid. There was a bit of that. Yeah. My mom wouldn't let us watch Robocop. So what did we do? We found a way to watch Robocop. That's what you do. All right. Well, there you go. These are all going to be up on QuicktmS.L.I. So you can follow along with what we watch each and every week. They're already up there.

And it's been awesome hanging with you guys today. I hope you guys have a continued wonderful stretch until the great holiday season known as Christmas. Yay! Have a good one. We'll see you next time. All right. Very cool. One of these days, I'm just going to freak everybody out and watch Parasite.

You're not going to know what to do with me. I know. It really will feel like the end of an era. I don't know if we can do a show after that. So maybe, you know, maybe don't watch it. I don't know. I don't know. We have to end everything if I watch it. Yeah, exactly.

All right, I just wanted to do a quick reminder that all the Kickstarter folks at this point should have gotten their copies of dungeon murder. And I've had a couple of questions here and there, but for the most part, everybody's been fine with the rules and stuff. But I wanted to put it out there that if you are at all confused, if anything in the rules didn't make sense, I'm building kind of a little web reference thing that's like an extended rule set that is just, just there to give clarity. So if you run into a problem, we go, wait a minute, if I pay out of the gold vault,

is that, what is that, blah, I want to be able to put up some, some commonly asked things so that basically an FAQ, right? So people can get answers

to these questions. So do not feel, uh, hesitant to reach out to me and ask me your questions is all I wanted to say. So if you're somebody who got dungeon murder and you may have a question about a rule or two, reach out and talk to me,

Discord, email, Twitter, wherever, wherever, me. And I'd be happy to not only answer it, but add your question and answer to the database. All right? All right. It's going to do it for us.

This is Mike out of Tampa area. I'm the bug, the pest-controlled guy. I've called the best. I'm just going to ramble real quick. I drove by this Booty Patrol truck that you guys are talking about on TMS, 2552. I drove by this truck on my commute probably once a week or maybe twice a week, and I always remember thinking I have no clue what Booty Patrol is. That's how legit that vehicle looks on the road. And then I remember seeing that news story come up with it, and I remember I know that man.

I feel like I've seen that man many times. So I think it's great that he's finally gotten a ticket because I remember thinking that thing was way too legit just to be driving around with Booty Patrol. I don't know. Who love the show? Goodbye. Hi.

Ardogan calling for the morning stream. To say this real quick, hearing my phone call on the radio. The podcast really made my day in the tough week when we are just prepping up for the holiday week. Two, y'all were wondering about who uses vinegar to catch flies? Ironically, I do. We use vinegar in small fly trucks to catch fruit flies in some of the facilities I'm working at so that we don't have so many flying around. So, yeah, coincidentally, I'm the one that uses vinegar to catch fruit flies.

don't recommend honey where I work it might make it worse anyways guys have a good one hey there it's Sikorsky and Boeing this is James the trucker

I'm on I-70 on my way to Kansas City and hopefully home tonight I'm sitting here listening to y'all talk about your horse on an airplane and I don't know if you know it

I'm the aircraft mechanic that used to ride in pretty regular light and as far as side to side airplanes are super stable but front to back they are very much not. There are many many crashes from airplanes

getting out of balance front to back. Yes, big deal to get that airplane back on the ground. As far as the dumping fuel thing, it is very common for certain airports to have

regulations on maximum weights except takeoff because a blankety blank weight plane I don't know I can't remember numbers but a plane of a certain weight

taking off not so big a deal when you drop that hundreds of thousands of pounds onto the ground you can break the runway you can do all sorts of damage to the plane

so that's why they had the dump where they thought you're going to have to talk to a pilot about that I don't know how that works I know that they can, I know that they do it. I know it's not that uncommon, especially for unexpected landings. But that's the few things I know about that thing. Love the show. Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey, Scott and Brian. This is Studnerd. And I was a postal worker at Letter Carrier for a small community of about 10,000 people for eight months. And within the first month or two, I had, already begun to rue the day the days that U-line catalogs would show up. It was a horrible time. They're way too big to

fit in our little cubbies that we used to organize their route. They're heavy. You can't bundle them up with everybody else's mail. They're a pain in the butt. And now, I no longer work for the postal office, but I drive a semi-truck for a contractor that delivers postal

stuff. So I drive long-distance mail, but it's all in pallets, and I don't have to carry any of it physically, and I see the big, huge pallets, the U-line catalogs coming in all the time, and I just shake my head. Luckily, I don't have to do it anymore, though. Speaking of any more, though, love the show, though. Hey, Borden's Sword.

Last week, Brian Recommmental with the House of Usher. It started a discussion about Edgar Allan Poe, and there was a mention of a student who memorized the Raven. I almost stood up and said, hold my beer. I finally examined my high school freshman English class list to recite the Raven from memory, but not just a straight recitation. The teacher, in this case a Catholic vindicting monk, would say a number before 118, and you had to recite that verse. You got it wrong, you got a slap in the face a la Will Smith. That was in a Catholic high school in

1962. Things were a lot different then. Still love the show, though. Terry Z. in Chicago. Hi, this is Mickey Meadows calling from Point Pleasant, West Virginia, which is located on the Ohio West Virginia border on the Ohio River. One day, my husband was taking our niece and her daughter, so our great niece, who was about six years old at the time, across the river through a Christmas festival. They were coming back home, and our great niece points out the window and goes, look, it's a baby. So my husband and niece look at each other, and they ask her to point to what she's talking

about so she points down to the river and the booey in the river and again she goes it's a booby so i thought that was a cute story to go along with the booey boy discussion love the show though it's sobbing long time listener first time call our style in the chat room when i'm occasionally there i wanted to call in reference to the story you guys covered last week about the horse causing a cargo jet to dump fuel and return in new york first you guys eventually got around to it the plane was a cargo plane which means that most likely will have very few to no passenger seats in it. The Boeing 747 is 60 plus years old.

It's a four-engine jet that used to be used for passenger travel, but nowadays primarily used for cargo to do the high cost of operating it, along with unnecessary space. Very few airliners are made with four engines anymore because the jet engines that are currently produced are powerful enough to lift what is currently needed. The extra gear engines is to use more fuel. Second, the data from the previous car was inaccurate.

While some aircraft have the ability to dump fuel, it's only the really large aircraft like the 747, aircraft like the Airbus 380, etc. Most modern airliners are made to withstand overweight landings without too much structural damage. The 747 was not that way, so the aircraft had to dump fuel in order to be structurally sound after its landing.

A lot of military aircraft had the ability to dump fuel because they were built for performance vice efficiency, so their safety margins are a lot in error. Third, the most expensive part of flying an aircraft is the fuel. Jets don't just go around dumping fuel willy-nilly. The operating companies would very quickly run out

of money. For this reason, dumping fuel is an absolute emergency situation. Operators don't plan on dumping fuel again. They would run out of money very quickly. The exception of this is some in the military aircraft which may dump fuel a little more frequently because it's a more common safety issue. Fourth, the car

was accurate that there are specific restrictions when dumping fuel must be done above 6,000 feet above ground or over the ocean. The reason airplanes can do it low is that when they dump fuel, they're not dumping pure fuel. The systems have a process where they take air into the engines, use bleed air to aerate the fuel so that the dump fuel is in a large part air and a much smaller part fuel. This allows the fuel to evaporate almost instantly making it safe for those under them, you know, greater than 6,000 feet under them. Lastly, although I'm not a

cargo pilot, I fly for passenger carrier. I was in a class with someone who told me a story at the time he transported a herd of sheep. Not to get too graphic, the sheep ended up getting really scared and doing their business in the pen they were being transported in. They did so much that it leaked out and the airplane smelled like sheep urine for years. My buddy swears they never got the smell out. I imagine one of the major concerns with a loose horse would be that same concern. Hope this helps shed some light on the news article.

Love the show though. Stile. Good morning, soap and bubbles. This is Joe Acosta calling you from Kentucky. I have a story about driving off with the gas pump still attached. I was in my early 20s, and I was driving my younger sister and some of her high school friends to the Renaissance fair. So as they were all sitting in the car with their dressed in corsets and whatnot, I was dressed like a Franciscan monk. I had pulled into the gas station to get some fuel before we headed out of town, and because

of just distractions, managed to get in the car and drive off a yank the pump or the handle right off the pump, disconnect the hose. The safety system did kill everything, but I was left with about five feet of hose and a novel hanging out the side of my car. At that point, the owner, of course, comes running out of the gas station or the manager, whoever he was. I get out of the car, totally apologetic. He was screaming his head off, and then he looks at me and sees a Franciscan monk and totally loses the temper and starts apologizing to me for the pump. So I got out of there, no money paid, no question asked, just drove off and went to the

Renaissance Fair. one other side note you guys were also talking yesterday about boneless chicken wings almost every time I order them they tend to be either half chicken tenderloins or full chicken tender loins so I'm assuming that's pretty much the common thing anywhere you go the tenderloin if you're interested is actually a part of the chicken

underneath the breast if you were taking apart a whole chicken and slicing the breast off of the ribbones right underneath the breast meat you would actually find a smaller I don't know

an almond-shaped piece of meat that would separate from the breast itself and that's the tender one and that's what becomes chicken tenders. All right you guys love the show dough. No.
