First of all, people hate spiders. The morning stream. We're not toys. We're action figures. Good morning. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Tuesday, December 12th, 2023. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Abbott. Hello. Yellow. Just realized that none of our Patreon pre-show recorded, which means, that's just my own mistake. Not a big deal. You know, Twitch will have an archive if you want to just rip it from that.

Yeah, I'll do that. I'll go. Don't worry, everybody. I will extra jump through a hoop today to make sure you get your shit. Ripped from today's Twitch. Damn straight. It's good to have you here. We hope you're all doing well.

I have some good news. Prior to this, we had mentioned that there was going to be no show tomorrow due to of a dental visit and operation, not operation, procedure. Yeah. Well, that got changed. Instead of me canceling, the dentist did. And I charged him $75 cancellation fee. Yeah, no kidding.

You know, that's a really good point. Why can't we receive something on the other end of that? I know. In fact, there's an entire Seinfeld episode about this where he goes in for that massage and they cancel on him and he's like demanding the fee and he never gets it. Well, I don't think I'll see it either. but my dentist had something come up and said, can we change it?

And their original plan was just, well, let's bump at two hours. But I'm like, I got DTNS. I can't do that. I can't bump my whole day for this. Right. That meant we could be TMS. Oh, you're fine sacrificing the morning stream. Well, in that case.

TNS, oh, can't disappoint Tom. In that case, I would have done, we would have done TMS, and then I would have to leave. And then come back and then screwed Tom up. So I'm like, you know what? Can we pick a different day? And they said, well, he's back on the night. 19th. And I'm like, all right, we're doing that.

We're doing it the 19th. And that day, it's like in the middle of the afternoon. It has no effect on TMS. Everything's good. So be here tomorrow. There's a show, unlike all the announcing I did prior to this. There is a show tomorrow. All right. But the opposite of pod dating tomorrow, whatever that is. We're pod

opaking. Waxing. Yeah. We're pod opaking. We're pod waxing. We're pod-waxing. We're pod-fing. Pod-firm. That's good. Yeah, we're pod firming. We're pod firming.

I love it. I'm glad you reminded me, because I went to the dentist yesterday, and I was like, oh, my God, I've got to remember to tell this story on TMS tomorrow. And if you hadn't have said, hadn't reminded me about your dentist appointment, I would have forgotten to talk about it, because I didn't even put it in our top topics. And we've got a lot to talk about in our top topics. I do. So had my cleaning yesterday and get in there, and a new woman comes to the, you know,

out to the lobby and says, hi, Brian. And I'm like, oh, yeah, it's me. And I get up and follow her. And she's like, yeah, your regular Marybeth is not here. So I'm going to be doing your cleaning today. And I hope that's okay. And I'm like, oh, yeah, of course. I mean, what am I saying?

No, no, I want my regular. Yeah, get out of here, lady. I don't want you. But I say, you know, right off the top, I, you know, show her my little iPod pro case and say, hope you don't mind me having, you know, iPod airs in my ears while you're doing this. because I, you know, I need something to focus on, and it kind of drowns out the sound of the ultrasonic, and she's like, oh, no, no, everybody does that, totally fine, like, cool. And I say, I have it on transparent mode, so if you need to tell me to, and I make the joke,

I said, if you need to say, Brian, please stop biting my finger, then I'll be able to hear you and I'll be able to stop biting your fingers. Or sensually sucking her middle finger or something like that. Whatever it is, whatever is Brian does, whatever Brian does that the dentist is up to him. Whatever, yeah, it's between me and the hygieness, what goes on in that. little room exactly no limits it's all fine yeah so uh so so we start the the whole process and i i put the iirpods in my ears i fire up and listen to the episode of fly on the wall where david and and dana carvey talk over martin short and steve martin for an hour actually they did

a really good job of letting them all talk as a matter of fact it's mostly dana carvey martin and Steve Martin. David Spade is like just kind of listening in and chimes in every once in a while. Is Dana Carvey doing okay? I know he lost his son. Oh, I'm sure this was recorded beforehand. It might be. I think he's still not doing new episode yet or something. Yeah. His older son passed away. Yeah, it's awful. Anyway, continue on, sorry. So I'm listening to that and then she just starts having like a regular conversation, but it's not really Even with me, it's more like, you know, she gets up to get a different tip for the scraper deal or the Sonic. And she's like, oh, let's see.

Is it over here? And I can hear her. And I'm thinking, well, do I need to pay attention in case she's telling me to do something? And who knows? So I'm trying to listen in. I have my thumb on the volume button of my phone. I really wish I had one of the new phones that I could assign the side button to be a pause button for my music instead of turn the phone. instead of turn the phone off.

Yeah, you can program that thing. That would be perfect. I could just pause it and then. Sure. Because otherwise I got to reach up and touch my ears and stuff like that or touch my AirPods, which I usually put it down. And if you hold down on it, it's just going to go do do do and try to do zero. It does transparency.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, and funny you say that. So I get a notification about a text message and it says, you know, so-and-so texted you. Because, you know, it does that interrupt your, whatever, listening to to let you know about a text message if you have that feature turned on. So, so-and-so has sent you a text message, blah, blah, blah, blah. Do you wish to reply?

And if you don't say anything, nothing happens. It doesn't reply. Well, she comes back over to be next to, like to work on my mouth again. And she's just sitting there, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then Siri says, oh, you want me to call Maria Cohn? And I'm like, no. No, or she says, I'm like, I didn't understand that. It sounds like you want me to call Maria Cohn.

And I'm like, no. I'm thinking to myself, I don't want to yell no because she's going to think I'm saying no to her. So I'm like furiously pressing the buttons on my phone thinking that maybe if I press the off button, it'll register as a no. And then calling Marie Cohn. And I'm like, what the hell is going on here?

Crap. And fortunately, the next thing I hear is, you've reached a number that has been disconnected and there's no longer in service. And I'm thinking, thank God. Oh my gosh. Is that someone you know?

Who's Marie Cohn? Who is this person? Is that a person? She's a person that worked at one of the newspapers. I still have people's phone numbers in my phone from when I worked at doing newspaper installations and stuff. The mid-90s, man. The mid-90s, exactly, all the way up until 2006.

That company finally went out of business in 2006, but still, yeah. It's frustrating as heck. You know, it's funny, though. As a matter of fact, one of those clients I'm actually having a phone call with tomorrow that I'm going to be doing some new work for them, one of my old newspaper clients. So, you know, maybe, who knows, maybe Maria Cohn is going to reach back out to me at some point. Yeah, you never know. These are the ties that bind.

You hang on to those numbers just in case. Exactly. That's funny, though. I really wish you would have gone. No, hang up. us one-sided phone call. Yeah. Hello?

Hello. Sorry, Marie. How can I help you? You've been hygienist dialed. Sorry. Hello? Are you okay? Who is this?

That's great, dude. That's great. I love that story. But all's well, no cavities or holes or anything weird. You're all good? Look, come on, no cavities. Nice. I love when I get no cavities to give me free J-Dogs certificate.

where I get free food at this posse. Do they really? Oh, yeah. They're the best about it. But you have to leave with zero cavities and or planned anything. So even if I cracked a crown, it wouldn't count. But if I go in there and they go, yeah, you're looking good. See you.

They give you two gift certificates that get you basically two of these big, fully dressed hot dog things. Shut up. Oh, that's amazing. They didn't even give me a toothbrush or one of those little sample toothpaste. Like, I didn't even get the little bag of stuff that I mostly throw out. Yeah, your dentist needs to up their game, man. Totally needs up their game. I'm going to send them this clip, except for the part where I've, where I hygienist dialed Marie Cohen.

Yeah, you can cut that part out, I guess. Well, that's good. I'm glad that you're free of any of that. I spent the night, not the night, but I went last night to Vann's Christmas program at his little preschool. His little pageant. Yeah, and it was cute. It was like, you know, I don't know, 30 kids. all their parents and grandparents and everything and their siblings all crammed in this tiny

room. But I don't think that they thought ahead on this because it's this really cool school that's like an older building that's been renovated to be a school. And it's really awesome. I would love to live there, actually. I would clear it out and make it a house. That'll never happen. But it was just really nice. And we're down to this kind of like basement area where normally it's like a gym floor and they do a lot of activities in there and it's the most space for people to sit. And so when we got there kind of early we're like oh well this is no big deal we're like the first one's there because kim's early for everything and she can't help it and uh we're like all right well let's just grab a seat that we like and we did and then that place proceeded to become the biggest freaking sardine

room in the history of ever no everybody and their dog came like everybody and it was packed and all i could think was this is a super spreader event maybe the cutest super spreader event but still the cutest that's just the cutest super spreader event but still the cutest that's just the cutest super It was just like, we're all going to go home with something that we didn't come in with. And anyway, it was fun, though. It was cute. They all got to sing. He was beaming and always, you know, doing thumbs up every time he'd catch one of our eyes.

And all the other little kids are cute. And it was, it was fun. It was a good time. So that's what I did. And I think I caught a cold. I don't know if I got it there. I got it somewhere else. I don't know.

Probably, yeah, probably. Did what, what did, then, did he sing? Did he, was he a poultry? He didn't do any solo. It was all part of a, like, a group sing. thing um but he did good knew all the words knew all the little hand things it was all christmas music and um one song was it there was one song i was a little surprised they played it wasn't grandma got run over by a reindeer but it was in that vein of like a novelty christmas song

there you go that's a word for it i'm getting nothing for christmas or all he won for christmas with my two front teeth or uh yeah and they didn't i came over which one but they didn't do oh I know what it was. It was hip, I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Oh, yeah. And he knew all the words and to do the big thing for the hippo part and all that. And he's just a,

he's a funny kid. It was fun. And they all, and the theme were all the kids were in pajamas. Oh, and the theme was, oh, it's Christmas night or Christmas Eve.

Oh, so like a Walmart. Yeah, like it's like going to Walmart just to pick up. Like going to Walmart, basically. Exactly. I could have said, it made a lot easier to explain it that way.

It's just open with that. Oh, it was like, basically it was Walmart. themed oh so all the kids were in pajamas yeah everybody who attended was in pajamas the one thing i couldn't get over and i almost took a picture of this and i didn't and i was just going to send it to you it wasn't going to do it publicly but there was a dude there who was it was cold outside it's like 23 degrees or something it was it was cold so everybody's in coats and kind of bundled up and

everything and we're all sitting in there and i noticed this one guy comes in he is bundled up real good he's got a very nice kind of feather down coat on he's got some you know jeans and he just looks like a well put together guy. But then I notice his feet, he's wearing like summer sandals, like mostly exposed foot sandals. Okay. I don't understand what that's about. Like, I don't want to yuck anyone's yum, whatever you're into, wearing fine, whatever.

I wear weird stuff too, but why would you, I couldn't, I could not figure that guy. You know, maybe he just needs to keep those puppies, air it out. Yeah. You like something he can easily take off so he can make fists in the crows. carpet with his toes. Maybe that's it. We got a John McLean problem on our hands. That's what's going on.

Well, anyway, that was a good time, and I hope no one else got sick there, but I feel like I got something. I don't know. It's all on this side of my face. It's kind of in my eye, my ear, and my throat, and my little lymph node is like a little chubby right here. Yeah, a little tender. Yeah, you know, rest, lots of fluids today.

Yeah. I don't think I have much rest. Oh, I guess you have a podcast later today, don't you? I do. At noon, I got a big important one. But then after that, I could probably chill for a bit. There you go. Yeah, you should. Sit down and watch some more Fargo episodes. Oh, my gosh, that shows so good. So far, it's so good. How many, yeah, January 16th, the final episode, I can't wait a month. I think we're going to have to start watching it. That's my problem. I was going to wait, and I just couldn't do it. You're going to love Gino Temple in this, dude. I'm sure I am. Well, when does, like, what if it's starting up pretty soon here? Let's see.

Oh, maybe you got something else They just announced a date, didn't they? Something else can run interference for you while you're waiting. Oh, December 22nd. Still 10 days away from season two. Oh. When's that Zach Snyder, Rebel Moon thing, come out? I'm actually looking forward to that.

Oh, that's the 21st. That's still some time away. Yeah, that's still always. Looking forward to that, man. Coming to Netflix on the 21st, going to plop down with the big sound. Oh, no, December. Oh, wait. This says December 15th.

but that's the UK, December 21st for the U.S. What? Yeah. What's going on with that? Sorry. It's Netflix. It's not like they got some physical reason. No, it's probably more work for them to like only make it available for some of their servers and not all of them.

Boo. You guys are special, Zoe. I think you're special. Yeah. All right. We got to hear this little Christmas song. Speaking of Christmas music, I've heard this thing and I could not believe it was real. Obviously, it's parody and they're goofing around.

but it made me laugh, and I thought we were all, I thought we were out of ideas for, like you said, would you call them parody, not parody Christmas, but you called it. Novelty Christmas songs. By the way, by the way, Diddy is a D-I-T-T-T. Why? A little ditty. Oh, yeah, a little ditty. Unless you're talking about Puff Daddy's new name. Yeah, and his new rape allegations. I don't know if you heard of it. He's got, he's a trouble. That's an unfortunate little ditty. Yeah, he's got some trouble coming. All right, here is what I heard. And let's see if you enjoy. this where is it and i no that's a call hold on where did i put the song oh did i not put the song hold on sorry hold on everybody i've got it here i just don't know where i put it oh here it is okay i'll just say this is about it's not what you're going to think it's about all right i'll just play it i'll let it live for itself all right okay here's somebody just made this i found it randomly on youtube i wanted to share it here you go when it came time to swap praises the gorilla give me a fish

The Martian give me a fish And I give the gorilla And the Martian a fish We laugh so hard about all the fish gifts Yeah Christmas on an island With a Martian and gorilla Forgot to mention the gorilla part

He was already on the island Christmas on an island With a Martian and Gorilla When we get to the island and gorilla is here. He like a company the bright Christmas chair. Christmas on an island

with a Martian and Gorilla. The whole song is about this redneck guy on an island with a Martian and a gorilla and it's fantastic and I love it. It's like when Dunaway really

does the joky voice like the Havern kind of voice it's a little bit there that's true. He does such a good version of that that I feel like he should do like a V-Tuber account on YouTube where

it's just a fake little robe a little TGI redneck head and do that voice and then he could just do his whole thing Brian I would sub to that shit oh heck yeah I'd even I'd even gift somebody a subscription of that hell yeah hell yeah I'd do it tomorrow

anyway At some point I need to hook you up with a song that Amy sent over to me it's by David Diggs and it's called puppy for Christmas and it's really it's really good, but it's also really funny. It's like a... Would you call it one of these novelty? It's a novelty. It's absolutely...

I'm sorry, puppy for Hanukkah. I got the wrong holiday. Puppy for Hanukkah. But it's friggin DeVee Diggs from Snowpiercer and Hamilton and... Oh, that guy. Yeah, I love that guy. I like that guy, too. I think he's great. Although I still say he's not right for Snowpiercer, but I don't know why I feel that way. I just didn't...

Oh, really? Something about his character. I didn't... It didn't jive with me. But I like... I like the Snowpiercer TV show became not right. So. Yeah. Yeah. And for the, yeah, for the record, TV, not movie. I like that movie a lot. Yeah. Oh, the movie is great. Yeah. Let's, and I like the show fine. It's just, I don't know. It's all right. It got too off track in the third season. Oh. No one there was, yeah, right? See, yeah. A little pun there. I like that. We have a listener with with a point, I think. I don't know if they have a point. That's what we're going to determine right now. have a point.

Okay. Hello morning stream. Can we get a number of days since we've responded to Claire's comment that didn't need to be responded to, counter? For example, when you play the clip of the Pope and she complains or complaints, I like that, that doesn't need to be addressed, thanks. So we've got somebody who sounds to me a little annoyed. Do they get their accommodations in, uh,

In hotels for free? I'm going to guess no charge. I'm going to guess no. Look. It's not free hotel room. Okay. No, it's not him, although he, we haven't heard from Pedersen in a while. I wonder how he's going.

Oh, we hear from him on threads all the time, Scott. Oh, does he reply there a lot? I don't, I guess I haven't looked. You've even, I think you've even gotten called out there a couple times. And we both got called out for Kloche, although he's wrong. He said that, uh, um, he said that, um, he said that, um, he said that, that a cloche, well, he was right about, Cloche is a female hat,

but chefs call plate covers, plate covers. And I reply back and I said, maybe the metal ones, like the opaque ones that they put over to keep food hot is a plate cover. But the clear glass ones, absolutely, like, clear glass ones that aren't necessarily for chefs,

are absolutely called a cloche. Okay. I didn't realize that was him. You know what? Maybe he's doing it under a name I don't recognize. It's not free hotel room on there. No, it's under Bob Peterson, I think. Oh, that should be.

for me to see it should be uh huh i don't see claire says closh hold on a second let me look at let's let's uh put this let's put this thing to bed oh you know what i'm doing exactly no you're doing it no you're doing exactly what that emailer just said you're exactly right don't have to respond to claire just because she's she's uh all capsin in the chat room i think you have your answer everybody oh my god all right okay i that could have been bob because it's a text and there's no name on it so it might have been bob now that i think about it because it wasn't an email Mel, it was an anonymous text. Oh, just the text? Sure. And he could have done that without leaving his name. Anyway, Claire, how do you feel being the subject of someone's ire? You know? How does that feel?

So, all right, so here's, I'm going to put it right here, and you can share it with the chat room. The, the dictionary.com pronunciation says both pronunciations are acceptable. Klosh and Klosh. Okay, they'll take either one. Oh, yeah, there it is. Yeah, this is real. Look at this, guys. Yeah, this is...

Closh. To me, this puts it to bed. This is it. Right there. Those tells you the two different ways you can say it. They both have K's for some reason. I don't know why to see... C couldn't have been there, but that's fine.

Well, because sometimes you pronounce C instead of K. But you never pronounce a K anything but K. Yeah, that's true. Is there any K words without the K? There isn't. No. Hold on, hold on. Yeah, there's not.

There's not. You're totally right. There's zero. There are plenty of K words. that don't have the cuss sound like no and knowledge and when they're silent yes okay that makes sense um but yeah but none if you're using the k non silent though i think it's always yeah it's always a cuss sound if it's not silent yeah kite crapper not to see uh kaleidoscope is that yeah yeah yeah are you are you asking i don't know what i'm doing to be honest i don't know

what i'm doing all right okay so we do need a, we're going to catch ourselves. And, and, uh, just because Claire is, uh, is loud and in the chat room, uh, it's, it's, it's, we need like a red on air light equivalent of like, don't feed the Claire. Yeah. Don't feed the Claire. That's right. She'll bite your hand. Here's the thing, though, interacting with the chat room is a part of what you do. Correct. It's a live stream staple. It's how you do stuff. Now, are there things that, anyone, not just Claire, but anybody might say that are, like, why are we responding to that? Sure, those are going to happen sometimes.

But Claire is a high volume, how do I put this? She's a high volume person. And she, she, like, if we responded to 10% of the messages that we get in chat, because she is such a prolific chatter, many, most of those would be Claire. Is that what you're trying to say? I guess that is what I'm trying to say. Or let's look at it a different way.

You're in, let's say you're at a musical, a Christmas musical, at a church, all right? Yeah, yeah. And one by one, people get up and go, I like Christmas because of the cheer, and then they sit down. And the next person gets up and goes, the three wise men were awesome,

and then they sit down. You know, whatever it is they're saying. but Claire gets up, let's imagine, not Claire, but somebody gets up to the microphone and goes, I've got 400 chickens shoved up my ass. If they did that at a thing, at an event like that where everyone's expecting just boring Christmas stuff, you would think of and call out the one person

because you couldn't help it. That's going to be the memory you have. You and I would both come to this show and immediately tell the story about the person with the chickens in their butts. This is true, yes. This is part of the problem, is she's hard to ignore, is what I'm saying. Oh, I guess so.

And so we now know, guess what? Claire's a chicken butt. Yeah, chicken butt. Yeah. Take that, Claire. All right, we also got another listener talking about hype and how it stops them from doing things because I've been talking about house. You were talking about forcing yourself outside the hype bubble. Yeah, hype bubbles for games, movies, TV, all that stuff.

And here's what he had to say. Good A, point break in Rio Bravo. Scott, you might think that you're a bit stubborn with your old movies. I'm 68, and I still haven't seen Rocky because of the hype. So, I don't know. Sweet that. Hey, thanks for the show. Yeah, the hype around Rocky still won't get this dude to the theater to see it.

Still, like, uh, I mean, it's been 50 years. Yeah, we got what, how many Rockies do we have since? Like six of them, seven of them? Ironically, you know, Philly just had Rocky Day. Oh, they have Rocky Day? I think the joke on SNL from Michael Che was, but if you live in Philly, every day is a Rocky Day. But, yeah, they just had a National Rocky Day, Philadelphia, 2023.

Let's see here. December 3rd. Oh, my. What do you do at Rocky Day? Is everyone jog up the steps or something? Well, the steps, they have the statue of Rocky, like doing his, a victory victory thing

yeah exactly he's gonna fly now pose and Sylvester Stallone showed up this was the very first Rocky Day oh this is a new one it's a new thing then it's a new thing yeah

inaugural Rocky Day in Philadelphia that surprises me that they hadn't that that's just now that feels like something that should be going on for 20 years I mean they've had that statue up there for a couple decades now so it feels like

like they could have Celebrate Iraqi Day when they put that thing up. Is there a thing in the movie that says the date? Is that why December 3rd? Oh, I don't know. I know he's... Is it just because it's easy for Stallone to remember one, two, three? Maybe.

I know he's running in the winter, you know, cold months. Maybe there's some... Maybe there is some December. Yeah, maybe. Because, yeah, he's in his gray sweatshirt. Yep. He's wearing the gray sweaties, man. That's right.

Well, that's cool. He showed up for that. I didn't know. That was even a thing. Yeah. Rocky Day. There you go. So maybe our hype dude is on to something. Maybe there is some hype still around Rocky, but I don't know. I feel like enough time has gone by that Rocky you can finally watch and not plant your feet on the ground and say, nope, nope, not going to follow the sheep on that one. Maybe it's because these creed movies are still good, you know? And so there's hype around those. I don't know. Because creed is good. But you know what? Here's what you do, listener in Australia. go watch Rocky 5, and then you'll never want to see any of the shit again.

Okay? Because Rocky 5 is garbage. And I bring you another meal. Oh, my gosh, dude. Whatever, whatever that, happy birthday. It's so bad. It's so bad. I don't even have words for how bad Rocky 5 is.

Garbage movie, terrible film. Anyway, Sly talks about it very briefly in his Sly documentary, very briefly. Does he really? Oh, good. Okay. You really should watch that. I do want to see that. Does he talk about, like, some of his real bad misses, like, stopper, my mom will shoot or...

He talks, he only lights on a few of those. I think he talked a little bit about the era in which he tried to do a lot of comedy. Sure. As a more general thing. And then they show clips from each of those things, specifically like, was it, Rhinestone and... Rhinestone. Rinestone with Dolly Parton, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, folks. Brian Ibbott saw Rhinstone in the theater. Holy shit. Holy shit. What the hell? We got free tickets from a radio station. We won free tickets to see Rhinstone.

How was it? What was your feeling? It was horrendous. It was bad, right? It was absolutely, and I can't wait to watch it on film sack. We should get around to it. I don't think I ever saw it. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, that dock is good. People should see that. So we're worthy of seeing. All right. I'll have to take a break from what I'm doing to be able to see. to see that Rocky Dock. I've been playing

freaking Dreamlight Valley, which I bought on Steam months ago, right? When it first got on Steam, I'm like, oh, cool, a, you know, a Disney, like, Builder app. I don't know what you call one of these, like a Sims kind of thing or that. Stardue Valley like or whatever.

Stardue Valley, right. Disney Star Dew Valley. Yeah. Disney Animal Crossing. And now that it's on Apple Arcade, I am so freaking hooked. This game is great, and it's, I'm all in. And it reminds me there was a Disney game, I've got to look up the name of it,

there was a Disney game a while back that tried to be this. Disney, is it Kingdoms? Oh, never heard of this. And that was a free game on the iPad a while back, and it was just basically like, you know, oh, you can build this ride, and you can build this right. Now you've got to send this person out on this job to go get some more, Mickey tokens or whatever it is

And I got into that for like a month And I'm like I just can't do this It's too boring and repetitive and garbagey And then there was a Marvel game that was really cool for a while Called Marvel Academy And then it got super micro-transactioning Like there were You know

It was basically the young Avengers And by the Young Avengers I don't mean like Iron Ladd And Hulk Hulking and stuff like that But more like teenage or college versions of all of the characters. Sure. And you collect them and you put dorms up and training facilities and stuff like that, but it got super microtransaction.

And then it just crumbled under its own weight. That's not good. But Dreamlight Valley is great on Apple Arcade. Zero micro-transactions, right? You couldn't try to spend money on this thing if you wanted to. Perfect place for it, since that service has zero micro-transactions as a rule. for Apple Arcade. You know, obviously you pay whatever the five bucks a month or whatever combo you're paying.

You pay for, right, you pay for your Apple Arcade. But works beautifully with the dual sense. Oh, yeah, I was going to ask how you were controlling it. So that's cool. You're using a controller. Yeah. You can also do, you know, you basically can hold your iPad, like, you know, with the thumbs and do. But there's no, you know, there's a fishing aspect to it that does require some

hidden things at exactly the right time. But other than that, it's just, it's. It's, you know, click at your leisure. They will sit there and just wait for you to click until, to complete something. But there's a mini game in there called Scramble Coin, which is a very clever sort of chess game, where you get three pieces, you really get five, but you can put any three of them on the board to collect coins from this eight-by-eight grid, and your opponent is doing the same thing. And each of your characters is a Disney character, a little tiny chess piece version.

And the object is to collect more coins on five turns than your opponent. And I'm so freaking hooked on that stupid-ass game. It's like that alone is worth the five bucks Apple Arcade a month. Do the characters have, you know, like equivalent chess moves? Like this one can only move diagonally, this one can only be straight-ed-ed-ed-ed- Yeah, so Minnie Mouse can only go diagonally. Goofy can make one jump, four spaces of it. away.

Scrooge McDuck can go three spaces in any combination, any direction, and pick up any coins along the way. Who's the equivalent of the night? Someone's like the knight where they can only do an L shape or whatever? You kind of, yeah. Remy kind of does that. Remy can do only diagonals, but he can go to a place and then either turn left and go two more spaces in either direction.

Sounds like a thing a rat could do, right? that's a rat like it's a very rat like move the old diagonal uh yeah i like anyway totally loving it and uh we don't have an app slap here we haven't had ap slap these segment in a while but this would be my my app slapy recommendation is uh uh uh dream light valley hell yeah i look i'm that's a legit video game it was up for an award this year at the game awards it didn't win but it was up for best family game uh it's been a big hit everywhere and the big surprise is the the company who made it and published it is one known for microtransaction nightmare video games

yeah they didn't do it they made a proper game yeah and they and yeah because I mean putting it on steam putting on on I think it was on switch as well and I think it's on everything Xbox PlayStation probably is everybody's got it it's like a standard you know 29 bucks 30 buck

game you just buy it I recommend it though it's good I have it on steam it's very good yeah and if you got Apple Arcade no brain yeah exactly get into it get back into it and see if you can at least get to the point where they introduce Scramble Coin and play some Scramble Coin, you'll be hooked. Are you, now are you forced to be the lady, or can you make a dude?

No, you can tell. I have a dude. I have a dude that looks like me. Let me open the game here. I couldn't remember if it was a character-based lady or you made your own character. I couldn't remember. Yeah. By the way, what is it?

Why do I have a crush on Mirabelle from Encanto? I think, I don't know. She's just so damn cute. I mean, she's a cutie. There's Mirabelle right there. Yeah, doing her thing. Doing her thing. And here is digital version.

Oh, my Lord. Wow. Have that guy bring me some hors d'oeuvres and a drink. Your finest wine, please. No, I don't have any, like all I, the only clothes I like right now is the white button-up shirt. Yes, sir. We have a seat right up front for you this evening. Exactly, yes.

That's awesome. All right. Good recommendation. Sorry, Stephanie, if you're hearing this, we hope you're okay. I think maybe we talked about it because you weren't here. Yeah. You didn't keep us from talking about it. It's entirely possible.

All right. Now, a little news. Let's do the news and let's bring it to you by. It is brung to you by older chicken. Yeah. Don't tell me you ate some older chicken again, Scott. I did. There was some older chicken.

It wasn't old, but older. Okay. It was maybe, I don't know, six days in the fridge. And it shouldn't be, it should be okay, but I wasn't really sure. And Kim wasn't here. They were out yesterday. And I was like at home and I'm like, what do I want to eat today? You know, I could really go for some chicken and maybe those blueberries and some other stuff.

So I was trying to eat good, like actually, you know, a smart leftover thing. Yeah, chicken, right. You don't want to throw away food. We were all raised in a time where like, you eat what's given to you. We don't waste food in this house. Exactly. We are of that, our parents were that generation, and we were the generation that got told that there were Chinese kids starving somewhere.

Oh, I was told African. Was it African? Yeah, depending on which household you were in. Everybody had a different place. We just picked a random, oh, you've got Lithuanian kids who are starving, and you're letting this food go to waste. Yeah, so I was like, I'm not letting this go to waste. I smelled it.

It smelled fine. I ate it. It was a little, not metallic, but kind of had this taste like, well, carbonated? Was it carbonated? Definitely not carbonated. I would have been, that would have been, that would have been, eureka moment. I would have been so excited. But that didn't happen. So then all I can do is try it and see

what happens. And then later I had kind of a stomachache. And that's all I'm saying. I don't think it was like bad bad, but it was, it was on the verge. It was it had, uh, it was turning on its blinker, but it hadn't quite rounded the corner. Yes. Very great way of saying it. Great way of saying it. It's also a very law abiding way for the chicken to behave. Yes. Yeah. Well, please. Please. If nothing else folks, please use your turn signal. It's there for a reason. That's right. Let's dive into this news here.

A Mexican-based startup is in trouble right now. Oh, no. It's important we bring this to light. A startup accused of selling health drinks made of endangered fish. According to them, quote, nature's best kept secret, unquote, according to the firm. The product which the company describes as nature's best kept secret is a small satchet of powder containing collagen taken from a fish that is designed to be mixed into a drink. They claim all sorts of health benefits.

This is supposed to be good for you. All that sort of stuff. But under the Convention of the International Trade and Endangered Species and Wild Fauna and Flora, to which Mexico and the U.S. are both signatories, by the way. We're both members of that group, so we have to be careful with this shit. By the way, sashay. What I say? Satchet.

Satchet. Satchet. What the hell's a satchet, Scott? Geez, Louise. Of course it's sache. I think it's sache. Is it sasset? Now that doesn't sound right.

That sounds like what RuPaul tells people to, how to get away. Sashay away. Sase, C-A-C-H-E-T, probably sashet. Okay. Gotta be sasset. Why don't they just say a little pouch? How about that, jerk? Or packet.

Packet. Satchet. Or is that pronounced paque? Packet. It's a small packet of powder. Hmm. Anyway, so this thing's got, we are banned here in the States and in Mexico from selling anything with Totoaba fish.

Hmm. It's illegal. Toto, Totoaba. I've never heard of Totoauba fish. Or Tutoaba. I don't know how you say it. Toto Abba. Two bands.

Toto Abba. Exactly. Oh, together at last. It's the collaboration. Nobody asked for. Toto Abba. That's right. Africa's dancing queens.

I don't know. That's right. Let's see. Find your Waterloo in Africa. That's right. It is illegal. and less bread in captivity with a very specific permit one they appear not to have.

As a listed protected species, commercial import is also illegal under U.S. trade law. So they're making this drink out of that. Now, my bigger question, let's set aside the illegalities, let's set aside the endangered fish and all that. Sure. All that stuff's important. It's fine. Brian Abbott, would you drink a drink that was mixed with a sashay

of fish powder? well if I will if I will drink this what do we got there oh it's those energy deals it is the energy deals yeah these are a new sponsor of soundography

but when I opened this box and I saw these five vials of green liquid I'm like oh what have I signed up for what are we what are we doing here how thick are they fortunately they're matcha flavored macha flavored oh these are those little machi I have some of those too those are not thickened at all so you should be okay they're a little there they're there I have

the first one today and it was very tasty supposed to um what do you uh yeah what the I can tell you have like all kinds of I can tell you got energy today I can tell I do I do have energy yeah I think you've got some to spare you should power a little battery charger or some shit like I don't know why am I do you need me to throttle back you need me to throttle back no no you're good right now I think you're great you're like you're like one of those new bricks that'll charge your phone twice as fast. That's all.

We're going to be done with the show in 45 minutes today, folks. Come on, come on, come on. Show's over. Have a good day. Titles. I would drink, would I drink a health drink made from endangered fish or any fish? Any fish, like a fish. Yeah, and let's assume, because I can only assume, maybe I'm wrong,

but maybe you put enough sugar in it or something, you hide the fish taste, but would you, if it was a fish-flavored little nature drink, because this sounds horrible to me. I think I would rather die than drink this. Yeah, it doesn't, I'm typically, typically not an energy drink guy. The stuff that I'm doing for a magic mind is more of like a focus. It's basically, what if there's a description?

It's like runners have energy drinks, creators have creativity drinks or something, I think is what their slogan is. I don't want to do, I won't do a five-hour energy. I don't want a heart attack. It's a lot of caffeine. So I typically won't do an energy drink anyway. Not a big Red Bull or monster fan. Same. So, no, I don't think I drink it only because I don't,

not because of the fish aspect. That doesn't help. But, but. Someone make a title, The fish aspect does not help. I agree with it, by the way. I agree with you. 100% on that.

That's real good. But I wouldn't drink it just because it, feels like it's a it's just a bad idea yeah i don't want it i don't want it either but i like those things you got those are good i've had a few of those so far so good they don't make me feel spastic they just kind of make me feel i don't know awake like i you know got all my um got all my uh sports bets done logged all my things from yesterday was down 70 dollars yesterday but up the previous day like damn it yeah bad bad monday we had we all had a bad monday we all had a bad month Just ask the Packers and the

Dolphins. No, Monday was, it'll go down in history in the NFL as bad Monday. Yeah, it will. Exactly. At least this year. All right.

Here's one more quick story. I love the ending of this thing because I was pissed and I saw this video. A woman who assaulted a Chipotle worker was sentenced to fast food job for two months. They don't really say this in the headline,

but it was kind of part, she had to make a decision. It was either do you want to spend more time in jail or do you want to spend some of this time working behind the counter at a fast food place? I really wish it was the actual Chipotle that she did this in. It feels like the plot

of an 80s movie. Yeah. Switcheroo movie. Like an 80s comedy. Yeah. Yeah, like a little, oh, well, what's the one where it's Freaky Friday is what I'm thinking of. It's a little bit like that except she has to, she knows she has to go to it.

Like, for whatever reason, I was visualizing Brewster's Million or um there was something was it uh goldie han well goldie han had the the um private benjamin thing right she had to go to go to army but there's something else where instead of being put in jail somebody sentences somebody to go and do the thing that they were that they were horrible to so that they could experience it from the other side what movie was that what was that called that's ringing a Well, 80s, right? It wasn't, you know, the Jerry Butler, or Jerry Seinfeld Butler thing, yeah, but that's not quite it.

There was something that was like that, like, uh... Yeah, that's not quite it. Made to order with Ali Sheedy, says, Amy, that might be it. Was Ali Sheedy, was rude to a maid, and then the judge sentenced her to be a maid. Why did I think that was J-Loh? Oh, that's Maiden Manhattan is what I'm thinking of. A very different movie. I can't think of it either, but I know what you're talking about.

and I can't think of what it was, but there was something like that. Oh, we're not thinking a soul man, are we? Gosh, no. No, that was, you're a racist, so now you're going to have to wear blackface. No, that's not, that's not at all what Soul Man was. Oh, Soul Man. There's a movie that has not aged while. Yeah, what the frick were we doing?

I mean, it was, that's the closest, I think a movie has ever come from being released to being inappropriate. Like within a few years it's you know became inappropriate almost as it was leaving theaters. Yeah, I remember seeing it and when I was in high school

and going, this isn't good, this is bad. We shouldn't do this. And C. Thomas Howell was never heard from again. Yeah. And for the record, I don't like white chicks either. And I think that movie sucks. And I'm not saying, I'm not even saying they're equivalent. I'm just saying race swapping story plot. It sucks. It sucks.

No matter where you're doing it from, I don't like it. It's boring. But I'll watch Tom Hanks and Peter Scullari dress up as old women any day of the week. Totally fine with that. Oh, that one bugs me too. I never liked that. You know what I like? I like, because it all felt every, all of those feel like overly long Jack Tripper stories.

Oh, for sure. For sure. Where everyone's like, oh, I didn't know. I don't know. I hate that. You know, the second season, they got wise in the second season of Busom Buddies and basically didn't focus on the stupid oh my god am i going to get caught now oh no no i have to be somewhere as buffy and as uh whatever their real names were they like really focused more on um in the

second season on their um their uh advertising business i don't remember that i should i mean where can i see can i see bosom buddies without too much trouble i'll send you the DVDs i have them right there. Shut up. You really have the DVDs? Why do you have those? Why? Of all of the DVD

collections, of all the series available to mankind, why would anyone get the freaking the bosom buddies collection? Brian's not currently on his mic so you can't answer me. Not only do I have it.

I have it very close by. There you go. Oh my gosh. The bosom buddies's complete series on DVD it's uh wow wow I'm shocked by this what led to this actually you know what here's here's why I have these I've forgotten but it's another opportunity for us to thank Mike Pacholic I kept the the Amazon thing that says a gift for you oh okay all right from Mike Picholic Mike Picholick sent me the bosom buddies complete series that's amazing so that's

it's it's maybe one of the reasons I have it, but I still, I love this stupid show. Tom Hanks, man, you knew right then back in the day that Tom Hanks was freaking brilliant as a comedian. I wonder if we can game Mike Pachula, because he does this all the time. So let's say I go, oh, you know, Brian, you know what I really, oh, what I really hate is a Toyota forerunner. Boy, I sure hate those are the worst.

I don't know about these electric vehicles. I think I'd have to try driving one before I think I'm ready for an electric vehicle. I don't know. Yeah. Maybe the lightning or the Nissan leaf or something. That could be interesting. Also, the PlayStation 4 or 5 Mini, the Slim, that looks pretty cool. Just think of all the shit you want and Michael somehow get it to.

Yeah. By the way, Buzz and Buddies stars Holland Taylor, who we've seen in so many things. You know Holland Taylor. She was the... Name's familiar. Yeah. seen her she was uh romancing the stone jewel of the nile um uh let me give you i'll just give you a picture of her oh she often plays like a ceo lady or uh yes exactly highfalutin somebody in

government or something correct she is dating um sarah paulson you're like gregg right now yes well done paul and taylor robin the cradle my good Goodness. Yes. And I wanted to see, I think Sarah Paulson is as old now as Holland Taylor was when she started in Bus and Buddies. But I might be, I might be wrong. I might be wrong. Because Holland Taylor born in 43. She's up there. Sarah Paulson, born in 74. She looks great, though. She does. Yeah. Yeah. Look at all. She's so busy. The morning show. Billions. Quiz Lady, which Nicole just did. The Great North, the chair, the stand in. Bill and Ted face the music, like all over the damn map. you look at her current photo or at least a recent photo from newsweek yeah she still looks great she looks great i want to age like her yeah there's a little bit of rubber work but that's fine whatever it's fine she's had some new tires put on is what you're trying to say just rear just rear tires it's fun uh-huh yeah uh all right we're going to take a break when we come back our

old pal tvs Travis will be here we're going to have a little contest where brian and i are the contestants and uh we're going to see how we do against him as it is his time of the month. That'll be right after this song that Brian brought. Brian, what'd you bring? Yeah, got a California band,

an emo punk four-piece band called Nervous Kids. I'm going to just say right now, this song has a little tiny bit of screamo in it, and I'm okay with it. Because it's backing vocal screamo in like two places, and it's like,

that's how you use it. You use it as a seasoning rather than smothering your whole meal with it. Wow. Um, this is, uh, the, um, the first single that they're releasing ahead of their brand new EP, which is going to be coming out next year. But this has got your blink 182, your, your, um, kind of all those bands that came around, came out around the same time late, late, mid to late 90s, uh, emo punk. Sure. Um, this is great.

It's called Back to the Start. Here are the Nervous Kids. Most days I'm convinced I'm going insane Takes all that I have to get through the day And no matter what I try, it won't go away. And all my motivation goes down the train. And I try to blow, but it gets so hard. My future looks so dim, progress I mean it all goes away and I'm back to the star.

I never get far. get far. Track through the days all the same, nothing changes. I just want to be all alone, all alone. I'm tired all the time, there's no time to rest my mind. It goes on and on, on it on. Don't feel like doing anything I'll just stay in bed I feel sick to my stomach and I try to pretend

That I'm better than I was I'm doing fine It keeps repeating all the time Over and over again can't keep driving the days I've gone down to the fame Drive through the days All the same Nothing changes I just want to be

All alone All alone I'm numb all the time There's no time to rest my mind It goes on and on Lon and hard Lone and died Lone and died

I found a wonderful little present for my children. A phone call to Santa. I just dial one, nine seven, six, six, seven, six seven. That's my number. And from now till Christmas, Mrs. Claus and I will have different messages every day for your children. Love and kisses. That's what a girl gets When she roast her turkey

I look forward to it All right TV's Travis standing by in the green room. We're going to bring him in. Probably ate all the M&Ms. All the M&Ms. Even the M&Ms? Even the brown ones.

He didn't give us a writer. We don't know what he won't eat. That's right. Yeah. I'll only eat brown M&M. Only eat the brown M&Ls. That's right. This is Travis, and you'll do well to listen carefully to what he has to say.

Travis, welcome back. How are you, man? You will do well to listen carefully. Yes. I mean, we'll lose the game if we don't listen to what you say, literally. That's right. And we're not going to really win anything, right? We're just going to, for fun here.

Bragging rights, respect. Oh, gosh. Self worth. I don't know. Oh, my gosh. Self worth. I wasn't cold. Yeah.

You know, one of the shows that you're part of, of the many great shows, many, many great shows you're part of. One of the shows you're part of is, wait, wait, wait, you haven't seen. I will say, wait, wait, you haven't seen. But that's going to be the NPR version. of your podcast. Are there movies that people are surprised to hear that you haven't seen? Yeah, there are quite a few. The biggest one for me was Shawshank Redemption was one that I hadn't seen.

And people were like, how did you not see this? It felt like something that I've seen it since. I've seen it since, yeah. Okay. Is there one still that you haven't seen that's like the surprising one? I mean Star Wars No

The one that comes up the most Is Godfather part two Oh Oh okay That's worth watching Yeah Yeah Yeah

You've seen one So And stop there Yeah don't go on and further Yes No I've heard that I've seen enough clips of part three That I don't need to

I don't need to watch that Three is heinous Three makes no sense That it even exists Honestly I don't know It's so it is so starkly bad compared to

one and two that it feels like different aliens came and took over filming it's so weird I don't understand it it's funny how that can happen and it's all the same people right it's yeah it's Coppola making it's still Coppola well it was Copa's daughter well yeah oh no she she's in it though and she's terrible yeah she's really bad before she became

director of yeah great stuff she's a great director she's a great director she is a bad actor. Do not let her act anymore. Go straight to directing. The Virgin Suicide Squad. It was such a great movie. Top of my list, really. Oh, that's great. Yeah. Well, good. I hope you see two at some point. Let's dive into our game here. What's going on? What are we doing? Yeah, so we're playing a little game called Name That Thing. I'm putting Scott and Brian against each other where they will bet on how few clues they need to name a thing that I answer or that I give them. to decide who goes first we're going to do a coin flip i've got a i've got this wonderful dungeon murder challenge going oh yeah it's all fancy so brian you get to call it okay is there is a head on there it's like a it's like a skull with the horns on it yep i'm guessing there is

because i didn't get one but i didn't i didn't back i didn't back the pledge at that level so i might have a i might have an extra for a coast you have an extra than a but only me if you have an extra. All right, I'm going to call spiky skull heads. Okay, heads, and it came up heads. So you can choose first, and our first topic, we're going to change things up just a little bit from what I've done in the past, because I thought this one would be fun, is a comic book writer. Oh, okay. And what we're going to do is you're going to guess based on characters that they are credited with helping create. All right. Oh, wow. Okay. I feel like this is It's almost one that I need to

Play defense more than offense Could be, could be So we're going to start the bidding at six Okay I'm going to say Three Oh my shit I thought you were going to say four

All right Scott You thought I was going to say four You think you can do it in two or less Or do you want to make Brian go for three I mean, let's just go for it. I'm going to try to do two or less. Okay.

All right. So you get two. I'm going to say, Scott, name that thing. I'm not even going to try and take the one. All right. All right. Here are your two characters. This writer is at least co-created.

Okay. Lucius Fox. Yeah. Nightcrawler. Oh. Shit. That sounds like Brian might not. know it based on that he might gasp i just heard maybe maybe um night crawler on the marvel

side lucius fox on the dc side uh that tell you gives me a time frame that's 80s somewhere so i'm going to say oh geez um i may as just throw somebody out uh yeah uh just i don't know Peres. I have no idea. Wrong. That is, that is not correct. Brian, do you want to steal? Is it, I mean, my guess would be that it was Chris Claremont. Also incorrect.

Oh, really? I was ready to ding you, but I'll give you a fart. Yeah. Some other characters, here's some other characters this person was credited with. So we had Lucius Fox and Nightcrawler, Shalau, the Undying. Swamp Thing. Oh.

Jigsaw. Jigsaw, wait, not Jigsaw the movie Jigsaw from No, no, no, Jigsaw the Punisher Villain And finally, Wolverine Wolverine He created Wolverine Len, no, who

That would have been like He was in the Hulk first, right? Yeah, Hulk, it's sitting there behind me, isn't it? Oh no, it's not anymore. Might be, no. Oh my gosh, I have no idea. jeez yeah Brian you were close it you were you were getting there it's Lenween it was len ween really okay yeah yeah and ween shoot yeah I would have never gotten it

never I wanted to mix I I was surprised when I saw the swamp thing and Lucius Fox those were the two that I never would have been that's really surprising but night crawler yeah I didn't think night crawler appeared anywhere before X-Men 94 and I thought X-Men 94 was written by Claremont, but I guess Claremont took over after the new X-Men were, oh, no, it was Giant Size X-Men Number 1, which was Len Wien. And then Claremont took, Claremont had the started writing X-Men at 94, the first, yeah, yeah.

Shoot, good, that's great. That's a great question. All right. All right. Okay, so round one goes to nobody. So, Scott, you get to start the bidding for round two. Okay. Which is, uh, we're going to, we're going for an actor, and I'm going to give you movie titles. All right. We'll start the bidding at six. Movie actor.

I can do it in four. Four? All right. I'll take three. Okay. Name that actor, Brian. Okay. All right.

Here are your three movie titles. Private Parts. Fred Clause. Okay. And straight out of Compton. Oh, shit. Really? I'm going to say Paul Giamatti.

Was Paul Giamatti and straight out of Compton? Yes. Yeah. Okay. You win. You get that. Pig vomit in private parts. He was somebody's, he was reping for someone.

Yeah, he was, uh, yeah. By the way, pig vomit in private parts is the thing I always think. When I see Paul Giamatti, that's the first thing that comes to mind. The way better thing to think of than a rhino. Yeah. Far better. But you don't think of, I'm not going to drink the effing Merlot. Oh, no.

That's number two. Sideways is number two. That's my first thing. I also found out, and I had forgotten about this, do you remember the Ratchet and Clank animated movie from a few years ago? I do. It was bad. Because apparently, he was in that.

Yeah, that movie's not good. It's a very, very poor film. It's not good. It's bad. Yeah, good that I'm glad I've never heard of it. I didn't realize there was a... It should have been great, because the writing on those games is amazing. It's very good.

I don't know what happened there. It just got effed up. It's not great. I'm not sure. I do remember seeing it and thinking, it was fine, but I saw it with like a... eight year old at the time and he loved it so oh yeah well the kids always like the stuff we are we're too cynical now in our old age yeah yeah that's true all right so right now we've got

uh brian has three points scott uh with zero we're on to our music round okay um and uh we're going to be guessing a song it's snippets of the song brian you get to start the bidding and i have the following an amount of time uh so two second four second 8, 10, and 15 seconds of this song. All right. I will say, what I'm looking for is the title. This is a cover version of it. Okay.

Because I wanted it to be a little bit harder to guess. You don't have a one second? No, I'm just kidding. Let's see. I want to be strategic about this. You said 2-4, what was the one above 4? 8. 8.

Um, I will say eight seconds. Eight seconds. All right. Scott, you think you can get it in four seconds? I'm going to try because I really don't have much of a chance if I don't. So I'm going to try. All right.

Uh, four seconds, Brian? I will take two. Yeah, I can't do it too. Oh, you're going to go for the two seconds. All right. Oh, for two. All right. This, this could mean the game.

Uh, here is your two second clip, Brian. Are you ready? Yep. Okay. Um, that is, is that rooster by, uh, Alison Chains? No. Because that wouldn't be a cover, would it? Oh, that's true.

That wouldn't be a cover. Oh, damn it. I forgot about that one aspect of it. Can I hear the, can I hear that clip one more time? Yeah. Yeah, I'll give you that one. Here we go. Oh, shit.

It does sound like Allison Chains. It does, yeah. It's a cover. It's a cover. Yeah. Yep, it's a cover. And I'd say if he doesn't get it on two, give us the four for no points. Like, we'll see if we can...

Yeah, we'll see if we can suss it out. Okay, I'm going to have to guess here because I am just, like, out of ideas. It sounds like, I mean, it could be any grunge band. It might even be like... Screaming trees, a Nirvana or somebody? I don't know. I'll say, well, okay, I'll just say, uh,

what's that song by Nirvana? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know you're, yeah, you want me to tell you the song that you're going to come up with? I don't know if it's right or wrong, but something in the way. Something in the way. Is that, yeah, is that the title? Yes.

Okay, that's my answer. Is that it? Okay. That is incorrect. Damn it. That's another good guess, though, because you just saw the Batman recently, and it's used so well in that movie.

Oh, it really, really is. That version in that movie is just great. All right, here's the four-second clip. This may or may not help. I don't know. It didn't help me. it's definitely not that song anymore no it's definitely not something in the way

I'm hearing I'm seeing a lot in the chat and nobody is even close all right give us the eight seconds yeah here we go we'll go up to eight seconds that's cool this is a repeat wow the fact that it's I know the fact that it's a cover I'm trying to get it by chord progression, like by you know, what uses that

you're going to, by the way, you're going to kick yourselves when you figure out what song it is. Really? Is there a longer? I've got a 15 second clip that has the first line in it. So here we go. This will give it away.

This will give it away. You're a mean one. Oh, shit. A mean one, Mr. Grinch. That is the, is that the Asylum Street Spankers version? Small Town Titans. Small Town Titans. Oh, small town Titans.

For a second, it sounded like, who's that band? Yeah, crash test dummies. Yeah, it does sound like Brad Roberts. Oh, man. So that song, we just talked about how the Grinch stole Christmas last week on those were the days. And it's one of, it's my all-time ultimate favorite Christmas holiday movie period. Really? The Jim Carrey one? I guess there's no other. No. No, the newer one. There's a

newer one, right? Nope, the 1966. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, gotcha. Chuck Jones one. I guess I didn't think about that being a movie. I think of that being a TV special. I mean, it is, but like, it's still, I watch it every single year, at least once. And I love that song, but when I heard the Small Town Titans cover of it, it just blew my mind his his voice is so great because he takes a pretty simple like song style and just goes places with it he has so much fun and so that's another one i listened to a lot this time again chuck jones i don't know if i ever said this on the show but chuck jones if i have a short list of like heroes chuck jones is like number two or three he's way up there big time yeah yeah

that was something i talked about a lot on the show was you know i knew it was chuck jones from like i want to say i was 10 or 12 by the time i figured out it was him doing it because i watched so many Chuck Jones, Looney Tunes cartoons growing up. Yeah, I even like the weird run he did on Tom and Jerry, which are weird, but I, and a lot of people hate them, but I like that stuff. I thought that those were great. They're weird as hell, though. Very different. Yeah, Thurl Ravenscroft of the vocals for the one in Dr. Seuss, the animated thing.

The voice of Tony the Tiger singing your mean one. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Also, the greatest name in the history of humanity. It really is. I would love to be known as Thorel Ravenscroft. And he's also the, I think, the leftmost bust when you ride Disneyland Haunted Mansion, the singing statues.

I believe the far left one is Thirl Ravenscroft. Wow. Oh, nice. Nice. Well, there you go. Brian, you win. You're the big winner today. Yeah.
