Starting point is 00:01:21 Need another eight inches Tom Merritt Secret Romulan Swimming raconteurs and snow globes with Randy and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. All has concentrated cleaning power to get out even rubbed in dirt and grease stains
Starting point is 00:01:35 so everything comes out clean. What happened to where I fell down? I mean, what we're talking about here is initiative. The Morning Stream, he's taking a dump in a can. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is Wednesday, February 7th, 2024. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Yellow. Yellow. Oh, that reminds me of my dad. He always said yellow on the phone. He'd pick it up and go, yellow, and we'd all laugh. But now we don't have them anymore. We'd have nothing to laugh at anymore, you know? Oh, geez. Wow. I know. Let's get dark. I need to take you into a dark place there. Let's get nice and dark. here early on the morning stream.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Hey, everybody, it's good to have you here. It's Wednesday. That means lots and lots of stuff. So we're piled up and ready to rock. Quick note. Oh, I'm on a new microphone. Did I mention that? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Look at that. Oh, it's a sure. You're not on your, what happened to your house. Funny, because we were just talking about microphones all pre-show. I know. I wasn't even thinking about it. And the Bob Parker and the Gene Rayburn microphones. And I even said, oh, you're not going to get the fidelity of those that we get on our hiles.
Starting point is 00:02:53 And you didn't say a word. You didn't say. No, I forgot. I honestly forgot so I have okay so here's what I did I wanted to make I've been working on having the studio so it could have a guest easier so like Ken and Carter and everybody who wants to sit here can sit here and have them have their own dedicated mic and camera and stuff but to do that I only had two mics that I've been using and that's fine except one of them I use for game
Starting point is 00:03:15 streaming one I use for what we're doing right now and then one I use for the guest thing so I ordered this it's not the high end shore SMB7 that everybody their dog gets for like music and you know fancy radio and everything um because i read about i don't know handful of reviews that said this model was uh way less expensive and better at voice stuff than even the high end one they were like comparing it and saying this is at least as good or maybe even better in a couple of ways so you should get this and i'm like well yeah that's like half the money i'm going to do that so i grabbed it and my plan was just to have it over here on the game thing but i really like how it sounds so i say
Starting point is 00:03:56 you know what change is fun these two hiles here and here scott will stay here in the sure space right here in the sure zone the sure zone the hiles will be for your your guests and your gaming yeah i raise my raise your arm if you're sure right here there's you know heaven forbid you know when you go to game you just unplug the mic and put it into a different stand or a different huge pain in the ass though such a pain because like that these are the And these arm, the mic arms I have, they go far, but not far, not quite far enough. I need about another eight inches. And then I have an arm over here that I just swing over, bam, I'm on the other machine.
Starting point is 00:04:38 It just makes it super easy. You need your brother-in-law to come in and do some really cool, like, rail system that your mics and your mic arms can move on from the ceiling. So it's like, oh, I'm over here now, and you just slide it over to the other spot. I like that. That's not bad. I would do that in a heartbeat. How cool would that be, right? I mean, I'm looking right now and saying, I actually could set something like that up here.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Yeah, you got the cork ceiling stuff and all that. You could totally, not cork, whatever it is. What do you call that? It's called something your ceiling. Oh, the drop ceiling. Yeah, you got all kinds of options. But I actually have a beam right there that I could hook into. That's all.
Starting point is 00:05:15 You should do that. You want to do that? It sounds like work. Yeah, it's a lot of work. I don't need that. Yeah. The model I got, by the way, for those wondering, is the sure. mv7x it's an xLR microphone pro dynamic quality mic for voice recording voice isolation technology
Starting point is 00:05:34 all metal construction mic stand compatible and uh they're only 179 bucks as opposed to the s mbb7s uh which is very expensive uh it is well not really you know that's it's like the hiles it's about 400 bucks so i saved a little money and uh here we are we're here to we're here to make it work Anyway, we got a lot to talk about today. Let's get straight to it. I screwed up the name of the vegan place that my daughter and wife went to. Oh, right, yeah. We got corrected by numerous sources, including Carter, who told me it's the real name.
Starting point is 00:06:10 But also we got this in. Dear Scott, I think you mean buds in downtown Salt Lake City for vegan Sandies. They have the best vegan sandies, and they're very cheap. It's mainly a meat eater crowd at this point. X-O-Stef, your resident SLC vegan slut. goodness wow self-identified sluttage
Starting point is 00:06:29 jeez wow no kidding so uh look at that so it's it's uh it is attracted like a majority meat eater crowd at this place that's awesome yeah pretty cool and the name buds i mean you wouldn't see that go it's buds but i guess buds also could be like plants you know yeah yeah which is yeah
Starting point is 00:06:47 like a budding young uh thing very clever yeah it's very clever anyway thank you for the correction yes it is bud so if you're in town and you're like man we need a quick sandwich i want to vegan. Apparently this stuff is the bomb. Nice. Which brings us to another food thing. The theory about the fake baby
Starting point is 00:07:03 in the olive garden. All right. So we got a thought here that may or may not hold water. I don't know. I like to explore these potential answers to that quandary. Here's what this person says. We didn't get a name on this text. Good morning, Squirt, listening to the show
Starting point is 00:07:19 IRT. Olive Garden. I don't know what that means. Yeah, in regard to. Oh, in regards to, regards or regard? Regards? In regards to. Okay. It's never a single regard.
Starting point is 00:07:32 It's always regards. Give them my regards. No, like, regarding, do you ever say? Regards, regard. Regard. I hold them in high regard. Oh, all right, there you go. So then you'll do a singular.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Okay. We got plenty of uses out of that word. That's good. We did. To the point where now it doesn't sound right. The word just doesn't make any sense. regard? I do that all the time. Some words just don't. You say a word so many times that it loses all meaning. Yeah, I hate that. Anyway, it says here as a kid, I had a single mom working at
Starting point is 00:08:05 that, that had a single mom working at Denny's. My sister and I often hung out at the restaurant. Sometimes it was because the sitter had an appointment or because something or something, or she would drop us off at the restaurant. We would just stay busy in a booth until she came back. Since all the staff knew us, it wasn't seen as abandonment. But, rather a safe spot where everybody keeping an eye on us was happening, just a thought from a different perspective. Totally possible, but it doesn't answer the question about the freaking fake baby. No, and I want to bring that up. Like, is it possible that it was just a stiff live baby? No, I'm 100% sure it was fake, because we got a good enough look at it finally that it was like.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Just a swole live baby that just came off of some crossfit and was, you know, oh, I'm so I just can't move my muscles are so sore yeah i've been lifting tires all day no it's definitely a definitely a fake baby and it and that part no one's had a good answer for me yet i still find this perplexing no and that's probably you know what's what's the uh not is it oculum's razor and what's the thing where you basically uh you you take out all of the ridiculous and far-fetched ideas and the last one remaining is probably the the right one which is just basically that that this woman uh cares for a fake baby and loves it and needs it and that sort of thing. That's entirely possible.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And it's Occam's Razor, right? I think that's it. Is it Occam's Razor? I think so. I think you were right the first time. So it goes, yeah. I thought Occam's Ray. What's the one that's, oh, sort of Damocles is damned if you do, damned if you don't, right?
Starting point is 00:09:39 Both sides are sharp, so it just doesn't matter which, yeah. Yeah, and Occam's razor is the simplest, the simplest is probably the correct one or something. Yeah. Well, yeah. You know what? I'm going with that. That's going to be it. That's going to be the thing until somebody can prove me otherwise. That's going to be where I land. No conspiracies, no weird ideas, no more, you know, I'm not going to assume anything about these people's lives. She just, she just really into that doll and it's there. Right. Yeah. Good enough. But I doubt that it's that she had a 20 minute shift at Olive Garden and she decided to leave her child while she served the tour of Italy for 20 minutes and then came back. Entirely. Oh, you know what? No, now, hold on. Let's say she works there. Here we go. New, new theory just popped because of your additional information here. If she's there and she's, let's say she works there. Sure. Her daughter's in the booth playing around and drawing and stuff. Yeah. The fake baby is the daughters who insists that we bring her in in a car seat. Sure. But the big baby got no attention from the daughter while she, while the, while she will. that's true none zero the only person who gave attention to the fake baby was the mom right
Starting point is 00:10:57 we and we can only assume she's the mom because we don't actually know but we assume so she looked old enough to be her mom yeah so so yeah that kind of falls apart why would you why would she fiddle with the baby and the daughter could care less so i was thinking of the 20 minutes would be explained because she's in the back talking to her manager about the schedule or you know she's not actually working that night she's just there uh gotta talk to my manager because he needs me on Wednesdays, and I can't do that anymore, so see, this is me going completely opposite of Occam's Razor, and
Starting point is 00:11:27 instead going to Occam's Shaver. This is Occam's Shriver. Occam's Clippers. Clippers. Yeah. Occam's Clippers Clippers'Leady, and that is not what we want. Occam's epa lady. I really like that. Not just because it's
Starting point is 00:11:41 show title bait, because it's good. It's perfect for the description. I never do show title bait. I'll have you know. Oh, never, no. They're all just good. They're just, you know, they're natural. That's just, that's just, that's just, just the shit that falls out of my brain whether or not uh that's right you know who's the who's the music like one of the punk rockers said uh uh how do you come up with such great melodies we just
Starting point is 00:12:04 puke on the page and pull out pull off the meat basically is what it is gross yeah i don't like the sound of that at all uh well anyway so there's that thank you for that and then uh one quick reminder or final reminder about uh because i think we're almost out yeah we are nearing the final availability on this. If you want to grab the four print zombie pack that I have up on the Frog Pants store, all artwork by me, signed by me,
Starting point is 00:12:31 hand signed, that is, not digital. These are five by five inch, full color, hand signed, limited edition prints. Five by five. And features a bunch of fun stuff. Nine bucks, 99 cents is all. No shipping cost to you, dear listener. Yeah. It will be free to you.
Starting point is 00:12:48 And you can get it still up on the site, Frogpants.com, Plus store, I think today they'll run out. So if you did not get yours and want them, now is your time. Cool. Okay. We're going to get right to Tab Pull a few today. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Love it. Let's get right to the heart of the matter. Yep. Let's see if Dunaway can be smirched or if he'll win, if he'll be victorious. We don't know. Will he be smirched or unsmurched? Yeah. Find out.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Find out. on an upcoming episode of this button I'm pushing. The Smirch ending. Smirch. Well, looky here. We got Brian Dunaway with us. Hi, Brian. How are you?
Starting point is 00:13:32 Oh, hi. Scott and Brian. Happy Humpin day. Oh, no, I think it's just hump day. I think you don't want to like turn that into a verb, I guess. Yeah. Happy Hobo-Hump and Slowbo-Babe day. Slow-bang.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Is that what you said? No, no, it's the song. You hobo, humpin' slowbo, babe. Get off, get off. We don't, we don't listen to the same music, my friend. I don't know what you're singing right now. You listen to that in the 90s like we all did. What is it?
Starting point is 00:14:02 What is it? Whale, songs by whale. You hobo, humpin, slowbo. What the hell is whale? You've so heard that song. I have not heard this. You have, but you, here, I'm going to play a taste. You've blocked it out.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Humpin, what was it, whale is the band? Whale. Yeah, whale is the band. Give it to me. Here, I'll give you just a taste. Yeah, here it is. The song is literally called Hobo Humping Slowbo, Babe. Yeah. And I'm going to pause the YouTube video so that I don't get things on this later. All right, here, I'll play a little bit of it, Brian.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I hope. I certainly recognize the style of the time. Never heard of it. Or if I did hear it, or if I did hear it, it, I went, nope, and kept on going. I'm surprised by that. I'm telling you, I'm usually a popular culture kind of suer, but not that. That's too suer for me.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Too suer for you? I like to stay on the con side. Yeah. All right. Fair enough, I say. Well, good. That's good to have you here. We're going to play a game.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Oh, I should add the listener to the thing. Let's see here. Who has pinged us to be part of today's? Oh, we got a new person at number three. Let's try this. Hold on how you say their name. It is. There it is.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Someone named DJ Axis. I want to know when the lobby's going to open. Long time tadpooler or long time chatter. First time caller, I'm assuming. Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard him on a call. First time cholera. Love it. Why didn't my...
Starting point is 00:15:45 I was logged into the game and now I'm not... That's what they said in the dark ages, right? Hey, long time listener, first time call her up. Yeah. For some reason, it's just ringing. So we might have to go with our... DJ axes. You got answer.
Starting point is 00:15:58 You can't play if you don't answer the phone. Probably trying to spin up that whale. Oh, yeah. Probably too busy. Listen to that song. What happened to them? They're not doing anything now, right? No, I don't think they did anything the year after they released that song.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Hey, there we go. You got ourselves a DJ Axis. DJ Axis. What's going on? Welcome to the show. Hey, not much. Thanks for having me. Yeah, we're happy to have it.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Your first time we're on the contest, right? I don't think we've heard you before, have we? I think on a contest, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, you've been around, though, in the community of time. I've seen you in the community at a time. A few times.
Starting point is 00:16:31 I did win a copy of Mad Max Fury Road. I'm sorry. And had not seen it. How much did Second and Charles give you for it? What? Did you end up watching it, though, now that you want it? He ended up watching it and wrote back in with a film sack style review. So it was a nice flick, you know? Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:16:55 The nicest. That's amazing. Should we call you DJ Axis? Can I call you DJ for short? Trey. Trey is fine. Oh, I like Trey. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:03 You call you a whack? Okay, Trey. Trey is better. Okay. Trey, are you liking Scramble Coin anymore, any better now in Dreamlight Valley? Is it? A little bit more. I went to,
Starting point is 00:17:16 I stopped trying to play it with a controller. That was the big difference there. You've got to go touch screen with the Scramble coin for sure. Oh, they have like a mini game that's hard to play. Yeah, it's almost like chess, but you pick. So like imagine you started a chess game, and you and your opponent each picked five pieces from the collection of chess pieces,
Starting point is 00:17:39 and those were the only pieces you got to have on the board. But you could put them all queens. Well, you could only have one queen is the problem. um so instead of chess pieces they're disney characters but they have unique moves like like wali can go straight across the board and pick up all the coins that he that he gets and they randomly drop coins on the board so you want to pick the right character that can get the do the most coin damage oh i like that would be a fun game on its own even just as a like an ios game i think but uh it's cool nice do you get to like play as the queen the red queen uh not the red queen uh but you could be queen or the the malicious or the the malicious I think is... Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, you could be Ursula, too.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Was she a queen? Was she just... No, she was the queen. She was just a witch under the sea that was all like, give me your voice. Yeah, see witch. There we go. That's right. See witch.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Maleficent is in there, and that she was a queen at some point. Yeah. When she actually killed the king. By the way, my wife has an aunt who is the spitting image of Ursula. Just the spitting. Really? Right down to the tenicles? I know tentacles and all?
Starting point is 00:18:42 I will not name her because I do not want to get in trouble as this. You're a poor unfortunate soul. I'll say that. More unfortunate soul. Anyway, well, this is good. Let's do this thing. And I show we're logged in, but there's no board yet. I don't know if that's something like that.
Starting point is 00:18:58 I don't know. I'll bet that's me. Oh, there it is. There we go. There it is. Working now. Okay. Well, if you guys are ready, I'm ready.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Oh, should I tell, let's tell me tell you how this game is played, because we never even did that. Sure. Welcome to Tad Pooley Fuel, blah, blah, blah. Survey the Tadpool on some nerdy topics. Scott and Bright and have to predict the answers that they do. gave us Scott and Jim Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Trey, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian.
Starting point is 00:19:24 If your team wins, you will get a prize package. That includes the aforementioned free comic book day prints signed by Scott and Carter. I'm going to give you your choice of any two of these, but you know, you've got Captain America, Modoc. Oh, I might keep that Modoc. Just kidding. You've got Mr. Freeze. I love her Mr. Freeze. It's one of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Her Mr. Freeze is fantastic. Yeah, I love that one. So good. Mr. Fantastic is in here. I don't know. This is neither of your works, but it's a signed. It's by the Munchkin guy. Oh, John Cavallick.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Yeah, the Infinity. Oh, John Kay? Yeah, John Kay. He's great. He's just talking to him. That's funny. Yeah, John Kay's a great guy. So the person that donated to these,
Starting point is 00:20:14 must collect them, because we both do this sort of thing every comic book day, she must be collecting all those. And now she's dumping them all because we don't know why. We don't know why. Can I ask a question? Can I ask one of those stupid office questions people ask? Because you guys probably don't get a lot of office dialogue. So did you
Starting point is 00:20:32 guys plan on wearing the same shirt today? No, we didn't. On Wednesdays we wear maroon. Shut up. We did not have any idea. There was no pre-plan. Office humor. Tomorrow we wear pink. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:47 We just got lucky, man. That's it. Are you working? Are you working hard? You're hardly working. This is the official TMS uniform and yours is in the mail for Mondays and Wednesdays. It's all a bunch of red shirts. Watch for that.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Scott and I are maroon two today. We're looking for the other three. Wow. I know. In row five. All right. Well, this is exciting. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Let's get to this. Put your hands on your buzzards and prepare to answer this question. We asked 453 tadpool. who or what is your favorite live really? Okay, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:21:23 I'm going to go with Metallica. Show me Metallica. You know, it's really, you're going to laugh when you hear the question because it's actually
Starting point is 00:21:33 kind of funny. Good answer. I'll repeat the question for Scott who just has to name anything. Who or what is your favorite live action movie robot? Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 00:21:44 It's nothing like music Maybe of them are Metallica Metallica I'm sorry Can you say the last part Again it's a robot from TV or movie? Live action movie robot Movie robot okay
Starting point is 00:21:57 Live action movie robot So not Wally because that would be Animated Scott so pick a live action robot Right Oh I just but I'm hanging up here because My brain just went 400 different ways I'll just say R2 because I don't Yeah I mean all you have
Starting point is 00:22:14 That's good. As long as what you pick is on the board, you'll go there. I'm not so sure. I'm nervous about droids, but yeah, let's say R2. Show me, you little bucket of bolts, R2D2. Number one answer. Okay. Safe, safe business there.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Yeah, once again, it just matters what the tadpool says. It doesn't matter what's right. Wally's definitely up there then. All right. Well, it's me and Trey, then. Let's do this, Trey. Let's do how you do with this. Do you have one that pops up?
Starting point is 00:22:44 in your head? One that's kind of a weird choice is Robocop because I'm not sure Oh no, that's a good one. Robot or a pop in this. It's in its name. He's a robot.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Yeah, he's more robot than cop for sure. I think BV8 is a safe one to go with first off. Okay, let's do BB8 then. I like that. We'll hold on to Robocop as a test. There is a possibility.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Show me BB8. Yeah, five points for that one. a number five answer on the board, BB8. I'll admit, I've kind of forgotten about BB8. You rolled in and rolled right in my life, just like that.

Starting point is 00:24:11 Oh, I haven't, I have not gotten that thing out to see how the new cat reacts to it, but Inar was fascinated with the thing. What happened to the last cat? Would you roll over with the BB8? Yeah, no, she was fascinated, she was fascinated or is fascinated with it, but we haven't had it out for a while. That's what she said. I think it was crazy that that thing worked so well. That thing
Starting point is 00:24:31 shouldn't have worked as well. It's so well, yeah. One of the better things about those movies. All right, I'm gonna, I really liked your Robocop thing. I'm torn between that and Terminator, but let's do RoboCop. He is more Robo than Cop. So let's do that. Okay. Show me Robicop.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Oh, come on, you guys. Really? Number 11, literally, like, just outside the, uh, if one person, one more person would have said it, then you would have had points for that one. I'm blown away by that. All right, fine. Brian, you get some, uh, choices here, some chance to, some little, I'm going with the, tadpoo is old like me and they liked.
Starting point is 00:25:14 the one that wasn't all the TV shows but I'm lost in space it's the primary one Danger Will Robinson What's his name? Robbie, is his name Robbie? Oh wow, you'll have to tell us. I think you're mixing up two different robots
Starting point is 00:25:30 Yeah I think so. I can see what you're thinking of And I have the name in my praise Yeah, yes exactly So what do you want to say? Do you want to say Robbie? Do you want to say
Starting point is 00:25:38 Morning Robot from Lost in Space? What do you want to say? Well, now that you've said it like that I definitely go on with Robbie okay I didn't think I was leading you one direction or another
Starting point is 00:25:49 oh no now I feel bad no I'm going back on my initial answer then I'm going to go with the what is this dang name why am I blanking on it is the name of the robot from lost in space was B9 that's it
Starting point is 00:26:01 yeah yeah but no tumor he was B9 yeah he was B9 give me B9 all right show me B9 yeah that was number 12
Starting point is 00:26:13 you guys have picked the that just slightly didn't make the cut into the top top 10. It just hit me because you're saying B9 and it reminded me of B4, which reminded me of data. I feel like data's, if we don't put data on here, we're stupid. What do you think, Trey? I think that's falling into the Robocop territory where it's such a gray area, gray like robots.
Starting point is 00:26:35 True, true. What do you think a Tadpole do, though? A bunch of truckheads in there, you know? That is also fair, but I thought they were going to like playing the Robocop. pop angle was a tadpole answer. I think we could stay safe and go with another Star Wars. There's a C-3PO
Starting point is 00:26:52 that hasn't shown up yet. Oh yeah, let's do 3PO. Yeah, yeah. He's fastidious and ready to roll. Let's do it. All right. Fistidious. Show me oh, curse my bucket of bolts. And C-3PO number four on the
Starting point is 00:27:08 Good call. Curse my shiny metal body. I should have. I should have went that. Of course, all this car wars. Curse my red arm that was only put this, so Mattel could sell more toys. Yeah. And that weird silver leg or whatever it was. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Exactly. I love that one. Okay. Where are we here? What else do we have? 10 points? You guys leading currently with 10 points. And, oh, I never did. I should say, there we go. I feel like Trey has the has the number here.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I'm still stuck on who the hell rob me the robot is. and keep in mind this are I guess you already said it it's just movies no TV right it's whatever the tadpool says
Starting point is 00:27:53 that's the thing that's a little tricky there it's whatever the tadpool says okay is a transformer a robot absolutely they're robots in disguise
Starting point is 00:28:07 yeah robots in disguise yeah it's right there in their elevator pitch yeah I mean Is that too broad, Brian, for us to say that, or do we need to come up with a specific named robot? Starscream! Starscream!
Starting point is 00:28:21 Pick the one that was a boombox. I will require you to say the transformer you would like to guess. Oh, if there was two on this list somewhere then. Well, I think that means there's at least one. I would think Bumblebee is probably... Oh, yeah. Why am I? really specifically.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Yeah, why are you answering Duned? You don't want to be, you're going to help Tray win. I mean, I know you want him to win. That's a bad answer. Don't use that one. Use something better like the robot from Riptie. Come on. Which one's,
Starting point is 00:28:55 John from Core's favorite transformer? He loves, um, oh, shoot. Oh, I forgot the name. The blue one with the, with the laser arm and he's always in the ship and he doesn't actually have a car form or a ship form. My God, you people.
Starting point is 00:29:11 I'm just getting you in trouble on Correlator Yeah, that's what that is. That'll be fun. I look forward to that. I can't remember. I think Bumblebee is who I would love with. Bumblebee, let's do it. Cool. All right, show me Bumblebee.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Number 13 in the list. Oh, my gosh. Look at us at the top of the list. You guys have like picked five or, sorry, four of the first five answers that did not make the top 10. Nice. Damn it. Damn it. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Brian, cheers now. What are you doing there? I'm going with Scooter from the GoBot. No, I'm kidding. Shockwave. Shockwave, sorry. When I say,
Starting point is 00:29:52 shockless when I talk about GoBots. Yeah, GoBots are the best. They never had a movie, did they? Yeah. You didn't see the Govots movie? There was not a go. It didn't end up in theaters. It wasn't like a theater movie.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Was it? Sounds like a Croker bargain bin DVD. Yeah. It was at least there. It does not sound like a thing. I could go down to my Megaplex and watch in 1983. Okay? That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Well, my favorite growing up was always trying to stay alive. So I'm going to go with Johnny Five. Stay alive. Oh, Johnny Five. Johnny Five. Let's play to Barge and ask who's Johnny. All right. Show me Johnny Five.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Oh, my China. Good job. Well done. Yeah. What was the number is that? Number two. Number two. Not good points, but it's there.
Starting point is 00:30:45 It needs you get to pick again. All right. Well, I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with the obvious. Everybody's favorite transformer is going to tell the auto boss to roll out. I'm going to go with the big guy. The Optimus Primo. Oh, all right. Primo.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Better be Primo or we're giving you a buzz. Okay. The card says moves. There are always exact answers. All right, show me. Optimus Brad. No, Brian takes the lead. That was the number 10 answer.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Big points, baby. Shit. Wow. I'm still confused about Robbie the robot versus the robot. I thought it was the same guy. They had that same robot like in everything. They looked very, like they might have even been the same model. I guarantee you it's the same reused shit.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I'm sure they had like 12 of them. That bulbous sort of, no, not really. Like you look at, um, They both had the weird vent arms, the vent pipe accordion style arms, but their heads were totally different. There's a real early 60s design aesthetic on those things. Robbie had kind of the big dome, glass dome, while B9 had a like a donut shape. Which one had all the twirlies on his head? That was Robbie, right?
Starting point is 00:32:06 They actually both had twirlies. Did they? Yeah, they both. They had little sensors that were going, bleep, bleep, they are. And I think they both kind of sounded like this. You can buy a B-9 robot from Hummocker Schlemmer for $24,500. Oh, that's nothing. Let's go ahead and dig deep and get that.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Small, small loan. It comes to the free Applevision Pro, I believe. Good gosh. Better come with two of them. Holy shit. Right. All right. Get another robot.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I'm going to go with Captain Pike. No, I'm kidding. Rude Rude Too soon Too soon, man Too soon Too soon
Starting point is 00:32:45 Oh my gosh I'm trying to remember I'm gonna go with Wasn't his canine The Battlestar Galactica robot The little dog I loved him so much He was like my favorite
Starting point is 00:32:55 Was it canine Because the kid's name was Boxy And then the dog Boxy Right Or Boxy was the name With the robot It's also a TV show by the way
Starting point is 00:33:04 Oh you're right Thanks God for help him me. I'm backing off that then. I'm going to go with, I just feel like people are stupid and they said Iron Giant. I don't know why. That's not stupid. That's nice. I like that movie. But that's not live action. I agree with you on this one.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Yeah, you're right about, oh, you mean, I see what you mean because it's animated. That's a good point. Yeah. They are stupid. I'm doing with Iron Giant for the big points. I feel like it at eight or nine. They're very, very stupid. Whoever, whoever did this one. All right. show me Iron Giant
Starting point is 00:33:37 Son of a butthole Despite Despite the fact that it was animated That was number 16 On the We're not I'm not used to us Being so clustered at the top
Starting point is 00:33:49 I know This is really funny that like You know Again now you'd have Had five of the six That didn't make the top ten All right Right
Starting point is 00:33:57 I'm gonna bet you money That I have to think there's a Terminator on here, dude. What do you think? Trey. Do you think so or no? Robocop wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Surely the Terminator is. Well, we didn't do Robocop. We ended up with the, oh, no, we did. Didn't we? Okay. Robocop was 11. It was 11. That's right.
Starting point is 00:34:19 You guys only have one more strike, by the way. This is, uh, yeah, this is do or die. It's a two-point game. You guys have barely both made it into double digits. This is really a kind of weird. Bicentennial man. Oh, my Lord, dude. Bisonennial man.
Starting point is 00:34:33 It's not an answer. It's not an answer. Yeah, I don't do that. I just wanted to remind everybody about that. Yeah, thank you for that. I kind of tried to forget. Never forget by Centennial a man. I think the T-1000.
Starting point is 00:34:45 I think that's a good answer. All right. Let's do a Terminator. I don't know if we can be that vague or if we have to get model-specific. You can be that vague. Well, that might be bad. Show me, Terminator. Oh, yeah, there you go.
Starting point is 00:34:59 There you go. Number nine. Okay. Number nine. Oh, look at that. You're still alive. Yeah. Number nine.
Starting point is 00:35:05 is alive. Number nine is alive. I saw a picture with Robert Patrick and the kid who played a young John Connor. What was the name? That kid actor in two. Yeah, it was Edward Furlong. Edward Furlong. And they were having lunch together. So the whole joke was like, oh, here's John Connor and the T-1000
Starting point is 00:35:25 having lunch. Those two looked like they were on a crime spree across the country. They looked like they've already killed 12 people and, you know, they're about to take down a Denny's. It was the weirdest photo. You guys got to see it.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Anyway, all right. Trey, anything popping there for you there, sir? Good, sir. I'm, like, I'm thinking the, like, the battle droids, the BD1 droids from Star Wars, but... Those are sweet. I think that's getting a little too, like, favorite, is that really your favorite droid? Right.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Or favorite robot, so I'm open to any other ideas because I've gotten his two strikes so far, so I'm clearly doing well. What was the one in Rogue One? What's the name of that thing? That is K2SO. That is a live action. Yeah, that's live action. And Andy's an awesome Andy Tudic voiced character.
Starting point is 00:36:17 It always reminds me of Koso. Andy Tudik. Alan Tudik. I always say Andy Tudik. I don't know why I do that. Andy's wrong. Anyway, let's do, you know what? Let's do that.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Okay. I like that. I agree. All right. Show me K2S. Oh, yeah, number three, very popular. Good points, good points. That's the best Star Wars movie since Empire, in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:36:42 And the Black Series K2SO is heavy and metal. Like this thing is, this is super weighted. Hold that up again. Oh, look at that, dude. Yeah, I think that's all the popular robots from Star Wars that I can think of. Yep, you're all out of robots, dude. I'm all out of robots. I'm so lost without you.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Yeah. Did you make a... The mouse droid, maybe? No, not the mouse droid. That's my first of the favorite. That is a good one, right? I've got the mouseroid popcorn bucket in my office. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:37:14 Why hasn't Rumba, it's so much better than the Dune popcorn bucket? The, why hasn't somebody made, like, Rumba needs to make the robot, mouse robot vacuum. And when it sees you in the hall, it goes, beep, beep, beep, beep, and then runs the other way. Yeah. Exactly. Beep, beep, beep. All right. What do you say?
Starting point is 00:37:36 Three more answers on the board. Six, seven, and eight. Yeah. I've been seeing Marvin the paranoid android. Oh, Marvin. Marvin's good. Marvin's good. Okay, do it.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Do it. Do Marvin because every time I've ever used hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, every time I ever use it on this game, I never get anything. I feel about it, too. You're Marvin. All right. We're doing Marvin. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:00 show me Marvin yeah son of a butthole we finally got some hitchhikers slow that's right exactly the son of a butthole oh well he was good one of the
Starting point is 00:38:15 one of the great oh yeah so good yeah um okay not and when they came out with the movie or even with the TV show not at all what I pictured listening to the radio series like we all had a different vision of what Marvin looked like
Starting point is 00:38:29 yeah and what they did I love their design, though. Yeah. Do you still, are you still kind of down on the idea of data? I don't know why that one's... I don't know why I'm so sure of that. He's not technically a robot, though, but whatever doesn't matter. An Android.
Starting point is 00:38:43 We've won't. We can say whatever we want. You have, exactly. You guys, there is no way to lose at this point, so... Oh, look at you guys. All right, I like that. You can say whatever you want. I think we should say data just because I think it's there, but also, who cares. Let's do it. I agree.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Very, very tadful to say anything, Star Trek. Yeah, I agree. All right. Show me data. Oh. Damn it. Data number 15 in the tadful. You know what I secretly hope is that Gigolo Joe's on here.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Oh, you still have a strike, Brian. Go ahead. Sorry. Yeah, I know. So, yeah. Exactly. One last guess. Pump your brakes, Johnson.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Yeah. There's nothing you can do to win, Brian, but you could. I could be part of the win. You could be part of the win, exactly. You could run the board, but even if you get both of them, it's still not a point. But running the board always wins the price for the player anyway. I've got two masters. One is saying, I want to be part of the winning team.
Starting point is 00:39:46 The other is saying that I really want to get my rib-tide love in and make sure everybody remembers that there's an orange robot with an egg-shaped head on rip-tide. And that's what I'm going for. And it's shit. Way to throw away guess. What was that robot's name, by the way? Do you remember? I'm trying to remember.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I don't remember they call them anything other than robot. They call them Lil R-R-O-Dot. I can't remember now. That's a really good. Now I feel bad. Tiny, they called them Rips. Rips Jr. I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:17 They called him Rip 2. Rip 2. Rip torn. Well, yeah. What are you going to do? Show me the robot from the TV show Riptide. Yeah, I know it's a TV show. as well. I know that
Starting point is 00:40:31 but I will never not take an opportunity to get some riptide love. Yeah, why not? Why not? You were going to lose anyway, so it's fine. You were going to lose anyway and why not go out swinging for the fences? Sure. All right, well, let's congratulations first to Trey. You've won these prints
Starting point is 00:40:47 and you and I can chat via instant message here in Discord to let me know which one of these you want because there's a bunch here to choose from. Let's talk about what you didn't get. Number seven, and we've gotten live action I don't think we've gotten movie
Starting point is 00:41:03 on Chopper, the robot from Rebels makes an appearance in Asoka but not in any of the movies as far as I'm concerned. Chopper's great. Rebels. I got you. Not a movie, that's why I stuck away from. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:43:08 L337 from Solo, the TARDIS. Somebody said that's a robot. It's funny that the TARDIS scored higher than K-9. K-9 being the robot, Dr. Hu's robot, not the robot for Battlestar, or Buck Rogers, or Battlestar Galactic. Yeah. B-de-B-D-B-D-D-T-E-D-T-E-T-E-B-D-T-E. Twiky, B-D-D-W-E-T-E from Buck Rogers, yeah.

Starting point is 00:44:41 No day. Oh, and no Metallica, though. No Metallica. Metallica was not in the list. Never made it anywhere in the list. That was an amazing answer, early answer. Yes, it was. Especially considering the subject.
Starting point is 00:44:52 That's great. Well, as Brian said, Trey, you're going to get a message from him. He'll get you your stuff. You'll give him your info. It'll be a perfectly easy and fantastic little exchange of ideas. And having you on here was a treat. I can't wait to see you for Cora's live show on Thursday. Bye now.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Hey, Brian, here's a quick thing. I got onto your, I got onto your Unreal 99 server last night and I was hopped in with a bunch of bots. And a few people popped in later and I wrecked their souls and they left because I don't they were having a good time so uh because they thought you was a bot they must have you're that good i was that good it was fun though because uh even though we had nothing scheduled that's the nice thing about that server there's always going to be some smart adept bots in there that will give you a good time and uh i had a great time so keep that thing up forever is all i'm saying never let it go all right it's going to stay up retrogib dot com and we're looking at the 2004 unreal as well to see
Starting point is 00:45:48 if we can send that one up i don't know we're still looking at it yeah you know you ought to do this whole RetroGib.com, you could put Quake 3 shit up there. You could put Tribes. By the way, there's a Tribes 3 demo up on Steam. I didn't even know they were making that shit. I'm so excited. I played it like for about 10 matches yesterday. Oh, you played the demo?
Starting point is 00:46:06 I haven't played a demo yet. It's very good. It is Tribes the way you remember tribes. It's fantastic. I cannot wait for more of that. Yeah. Except I'm sure it'll be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Go ahead. I'm going to be on the server after our episode of Play Retro on Friday, which is going to be Superman 64 by the way. Not the real title of it. That's Superman 64. It's called something else. Anyway, we're going to be doing that and then afterwards I'm going to hop on and play some more Unreal tournament. If Scott wants to join
Starting point is 00:46:32 in, that'd be great. I'll be there. You don't. Yeah, I installed it, got it, played it, played against the bots. Did not realize I could hop into the server and play against bots there. That's cool. Yeah. And then people can drop in, drop out. Show up. Cool. And we'll be in there a lot more. I had so much
Starting point is 00:46:48 fun in there about killed me. I ended up, because of you, or because of this whole thing, I ended up installing Unreal 3. I ended up playing a bunch of that. I install, I reinstalled 2004. That thing won't even let me do widescreen support. I've got to figure that shit out. There's a patch, I think, that there's some patches.
Starting point is 00:47:05 I'm researching it. All right, you let me know what you find and we'll deal with it. Until then, kiss our butts. All right, he's out. Coming up after this break, we're going to talk to Tom Merritt, who will give us a little tech info. And then we'll have some recommendals with Randy. Nicole's out today, had an appointment. But Randy will be here.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Let's throw it over to Brian. It'll tell us what song we're going to listen to. Yeah, let's rock. Let's rock with this one right here. This is a band called Savick, S-A-V-A-K. They are made up of members. It's a supergroup made up from members of the Obits, the Cops, and Holy F, but it's spelled out with all the letters that go with that.
Starting point is 00:47:43 This is their brand-new single, a nice little play on the Who song. This is called Will Get Fooled Again. This is coming out on their album, The Flavors of Paradise, which comes out March 1st on Ernest Jenning Recording Company and they are about to go on tour in the U.S. and France. Here is the band, Savick, and we'll get fooled again. A repeating image and a dream that haunts me But you're right beside me lying in our bed

Starting point is 00:52:44 Poodles. How can you eat anything right now? Huh? And we're returned. Who is that again? That is the band Savick and the song Will Get Fooled again.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Check out brand new album coming out March 1st from Savick. All these Star Trek names today. Saddick. That was S-A-V-I-K, though, right? This is S-A-V-A-K. Well, let me think. Was this, we're talking about the Kirstie-A-L-A-Lie character in the second movie?
Starting point is 00:53:23 Is that going to think of? She was Savick. Yeah, spelled differently. With an I. She was very good in that, I thought. She was. Yeah. All right, let's get Tom in here. Oh, two-A-S-A-A-V-I-K. Yeah, S-A-A-V-I-K. Oh, those Romulins. We want
Starting point is 00:53:38 Tom. I guess she was a secret Romulan or whatever her deal was. Anyway, hey, speaking of secret romulins, it's Tom Merritt on the line with us. Hi, Tom. Good morning. Good morning. How do I sound to you? You sound really good.
Starting point is 00:53:49 You sound great. Yeah. Okay. You guys are weird coming back from Discord for some reason. Oh, I don't know. Well, we are weird. You've got that right. Yeah, you got that part right.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Are we both sounding odd? Like we're... Yeah, even the ring from Discord sounded odd. So it's definitely something. Well, maybe take off the Apple. Vision Pro and will sound normal, okay? Maybe just put the headset down. Take it off for like a few minutes so you can talk to us in the real world. That's right. All right, fine. My Applevision Pro is virtual, so you couldn't see it. Oh, I see. Hey, speaking to that thing, you've got one in the household.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Have you missed about a bit? I did. It's no longer in the household. It's in Sarah Lane's hands now. But yeah, we had one over the weekend. We have shared custody. And, yeah, I got to put it on. It was fitted for Eileen, and Eileen set it up, you know, so she could try it for Applevision show. And because of that, I only was able to use the guest mode. Yeah. Oh, sure. Because if I tried to use it under her account, it just didn't work.
Starting point is 00:55:00 It was like, you're, those aren't her hands. Those aren't her eyes. What are you looking at? Oh, weird. It was almost impossible to use. So we put me into guest mode. The thing about guest mode is it's not really a guest profile that you set up for yourself. It's just a guest mode.
Starting point is 00:55:17 So every time you do it, you have to set it up from scratch. Oh, really? So it's not like cars where you can say, ah, give me profile number two and it adjust the chair and the review. No, every, you know, I put it on like three times. And each time I had to be like, all right, pinch the little things. Okay, cool. one thing I knew this from their demo but I had kind of forgotten it until I started using it
Starting point is 00:55:42 is you select things with your eyes it knows where you're looking and it highlights where you're looking and it slightly blurs the things you're not looking at too when it does that right? So you don't have to reach out and pinch them which I see a lot of people still doing and it's perfectly natural I was doing it too
Starting point is 00:56:05 but I realized after a while, oh, I just need to look, and then when it's selected, I can pinch anywhere. I don't have to lift my hand up because as long as it's in view, it'll see the pinch. And it's still looking at it that selects it. I found that to be pretty nifty, nifty being. Nifty, I like that. For something that you spent $3,500 on. Yeah, that's a high price for some nifty experience.
Starting point is 00:56:28 So do you double blink when you want to open a thing? Or how does it? You pitch. Okay, you always. So it knows your, so it knows your. looking but you can pinch anywhere it's like a mouse click right your eye is the pointer that's highlighting the thing and then your your pinch is the click like clicking the mouse right yes it said pinch scott not tweak oh not tweak okay you don't want to tweak your nipples so hold
Starting point is 00:56:51 on a second so like if i'm if my hands they need to be within view or do they yes yeah they just anywhere in view so you could rest them in your lap and that thing can see okay and so you can just you know sit there and so typing i've heard the typing you really get used to it quickly with the looking at the keys as opposed to the virtual keyboard that sits out in space that you type on, that like getting used to going and looking at the keys that you want to type. Oh, people are typing that way, like look and pinch it at the letter you want. It is faster than trying to reach out and touch the invisible keys. What I found when I was doing that was if you, I didn't realize I do this. But as I am typing a key, I'm always looking at the next one.
Starting point is 00:57:41 So as you're pinching, as you're pinching, if you're too far ahead of your pinch, you'll pinch the next key instead of the one that you meant to. So you do have to change how your eyes look at the keyboard if you do it that way, if that makes any sense. Yeah, totally. That's super interesting. I've been curious about it since it hit, watching lots of videos, lots of mixed reality. lots of mixed reactions more than ever it feels like we're at a point
Starting point is 00:58:10 in that thing's lifespan where it's like here's the initial thing and now from here on out people refine it Apple refines it other competitors start coming into the market they refine the experience and before you know it these are smaller
Starting point is 00:58:24 these are tighter these make more sense and you aren't as embarrassed to wear giant ski goggles on a train cheaper too cheaper would be a very cheaper would be good which seems like The competition will help with that. But I think even Apple's desire to have it be in more hands will drive that too.
Starting point is 00:58:40 So I don't know. I'm curious about the future of this thing. I get a lot of arguments with people about how there's no market for this. This is like NFTs, but for your head. And I'm like, okay, well, let's compare apples and rocks. That's a lazy criticism of like, oh, it's something new that is not immediately massively popular. Well, it must be like previous thing that didn't work. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I hate that. previously completely unrelated thing that didn't work yeah but you probably came with other info today instead of just this i didn't want to completely derail your plans that's great no i i love talking about that and uh if if you want to know how sarah lane almost bricked our applevision pro uh you should go check out applevision show.com the first official episode uh went out yesterday and uh yeah so eileen set it up she used it all weekend you can find some great videos of of that up on YouTube.com slash Daily Tech News Show. Then Sarah came over, braved the atmospheric river,
Starting point is 00:59:39 picked up the Apple Vision Pro, and took it home, set it up, did not forget her passcode. This is important because there's a lot of stories of people who forgot their passcode who locked up their Applevision Pro. She did not forget the passcode, but suddenly it was like, yeah, I'm locked up.
Starting point is 00:59:55 You have to wait seven hours again. And she's like, well, no, that passcode just worked, like moments ago. So she had to take it into an Applevision, Apple store and get them to unlock it. The good news out today is that the next operating system update for the Applevision Pro will let you reset it yourself instead of having to take it into a store. But that feature doesn't exist right now, so she had to take it in the store.
Starting point is 01:00:22 She tells a great story about calling them, trying to get on the phone, explaining that, yes, it was bought by my company. It was set up by a co-host. I do a podcast. Like all of that stuff. So it's a good story. You should go check that out. So when you, seven hour window, though, of being locked out, that sounds crazy to me.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Well, seven hours. Yeah, why seven? Why so long? Lucky number seven. This can happen on your iPhone. If you get your passcode wrong too many times, it starts to increase the amount of time between attempts. Oh, okay. I've never done that, I guess.
Starting point is 01:00:57 That's the death prevention mechanism of somebody trying to guess your passcode, right? It's like, okay, you definitely haven't known it three times. We're going to make you wait an hour. And then after an hour, we're going to make you wait three hours. I don't have the actual intervals memorized, but it's along those lines. It seems like with the Apple Vision Pro, by all reports, it just jumps from, well, that didn't work to you have to wait eight hours. Maybe because it's so valuable. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:26 But even with your iPad and your iPhone, you can plug it into a Mac and reset it. it or even remotely reset it if it's connected to your account. And you cannot do that with this current operating system version of the Applevision Pro, but they're going to change that in the next one. Well, pretty cool stuff. And really enjoy the coverage you guys are doing on that. And also excited about their new show. That's Applevision show.com.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Go check it out. Tom, anything else going on today? Well, we got you coming up on DTNS to tell us why Microsoft is following on its word. no one believed them when they said they would go cross platform and now it seems like they're actually going cross platform what's up with that? Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
Starting point is 01:02:08 We're going to talk a bunch about it. It's like I have some very specific theories and Phil Spencer has now posted a thing on social saying hey, listen, we've heard you guys concerns. We're going to fill you in and I forget the day he gave in time but he's basically going to do a stream or something and explain to people what the plan is
Starting point is 01:02:27 because the rumors have just gotten out of control but the basic upshot of it is their rumors and or kind of leaks and some some reliable information has come out that they are attempting to put some of their previous exclusives on PlayStation,
Starting point is 01:02:43 some stuff on Switch, basically spread around the love and if they could, they've already said this, they've said this for years, if they could, they'd put game pass on everything. That includes competing consoles. Yeah, and the consoles have been the ones that are, you know, Sony's resistant to that, so is Nintendo.
Starting point is 01:02:58 but they think the future is in services and the games themselves, the IPs, not in the plastic box you play them on. And I think they're right. Now, the problem with that is that everyone sees this as some kind of weird tribal betrayal where they're leaving the Xbox faithful to other shores or whatever. I don't think it's quite that simple. And I don't actually think they're going to stop making an Xbox. I just think they're going to, like you said,
Starting point is 01:03:27 come through on their original commitment which was we want to put our services everywhere. We want GamePass to be ubiquitous across many devices. That includes your crappy old laptop that does it on the cloud, your handheld device that you bought from another company, or that other awesome state-of-the-art console
Starting point is 01:03:43 that Sony makes. We want them everywhere and it may start with things like Starfield, probably the first example of this where it'll end up on PlayStation and maybe sooner than you think. There's a real meltdown in the Xbox community about this. And today, I hope on the show to make some more sense of it, but also calm people down a bit because I think it's actually a good move. And they're going to, they're going to get up
Starting point is 01:04:07 and he'll, he'll explain it. It'll make more sense. I'm not saying any of this stuff is perfect, but this Coke versus Pepsi mentality is killing me. And we got to talk about it. So we're going to do it today. No, no, no, no, Scott. Whatever they do, we should get mad at. Oh, oh, I've had it wrong the whole time. Gosh, dang it. Well, it's so true. No quarter. It doesn't, It doesn't matter what they do. If they change their mind, let's get mad at them for that. Yeah, let's do that for sure. But that'll be fun to talk about and dig into it today.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Yeah, it'll be great. Tom, anything else going on in your life? Yeah, sure. If you would like to get the full picture on technology news, you need to do four things. One is stay on the morning stream to get Scott and Brian's view and my view on Wednesday, then get Daily Tech headlines, so you get the five-minute encapsulation, most important stories of the day, get Daily Tech News Show, or better yet, Good Day, Internet through Patreon, so you get a 30-minute to an hour look at the news of the day
Starting point is 01:05:08 to help you understand, and then the last thing, the easiest thing, subscribe to Free Tech Newsletter, FreeTech Newsletter.com, and once a week, or every day, if you want to pay for it, I will give you my personal take on what I think are the most important stories of the DTNS is a collaborative effort where my opinion is in there along with Scots and Sarah's and Justin's and everybody else's, but the newsletter
Starting point is 01:05:33 is just me, so you can find that at Freetechnewsletter.com. That sounds great. Tom Merritt, we'll see you a little bit later today. Have a fantastic one. We'll see you next time. See you. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Yeah, that's going to be a fun talk today. Man, the freaking freak out. It's not even, like none of it's even official. It's just like people are losing their shit. Rumored or, yeah, right. Someone in the chats at something interesting, he said, who was it? Said, blah, blah, ber, here it is. The Wraith says, but with no competition, future PlayStation will either be not big jumps in power or have huge jumps in price.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Again, I don't think you're going to see, Microsoft's going to keep making the hardware. That isn't the issue. The issue is where are you going to play this thing. Also, other competition arises. Also, that changes Nintendo's plans. All of this stuff could get real interesting if Microsoft indeed. I mean, if they were just going to dump consoles, I don't, again, don't think they are. But if they were, I don't think it's as dire as everyone thinks.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Let's get into the recommendals portion of today's program. We've got to add Brandy to the call to do that properly. And he's incoming now. Assembly a few free comic book day prints for DJX's who selected his... Nothing wrong with that? Oh, he made a selection, did he? Fantastic. He did a selection?
Starting point is 01:06:53 All right, let's do this right here. Well, what do you recommend? Well, well, well, if it isn't Randy Jordan. Hi, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. I am Randy Jordan, your friendly team Xbox employee. Oh, that's right. I am, you can email me Randy Jordan at Microsoft.com, and I probably won't reply.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Yeah, you probably will just sit there in your big corporate hotmail account. It'll just sit there and that'll be that. It's good to have you here. He's here to give us all the juicy details on what Xbox is doing next. No, just kidding. We're going to talk about things we've seen on streaming services that we like or otherwise think are worth bringing up here on the show. We do it every week. We call it Recommendals.
Starting point is 01:07:39 And we're going to start with Brian Ibitt's Recommendal. Brian, you've got a clip. You're ready to tell us what this is. Brian's Brian and Tina's barreling through the Oscar nominees continues. We've just got a couple left of the best. picture Oscars. We're seeing a zone of interest on Thursday night, which I hear is really uplifting.
Starting point is 01:07:59 It's really not. I know. But as we make our way through the best actress and best supporting actress category, we look at this film. And we'll play a little clip right now. Here you go. What? That.
Starting point is 01:08:13 There are raccoon eyes. Have you been swimming? Yes, yes, I have. Wow. Look at you. Swimmer. Okay. Wow. What's it been like 30 years since you put on a pair of goggles? That's right. How'd it feel?
Starting point is 01:08:26 Great. Came right back to me. Great exercise at your age. Low impact. Easy on the joints? Yeah. I want to do it. Do what?
Starting point is 01:08:37 Give it a Florida. My swim. Huh? You're hilarious, sir. No, I'm not kidding, Bonnie. I'm going to do it. No, that's insane. You tried that when you were 28,
Starting point is 01:08:50 and you did not make it when you're 20. You're 60. Yeah, I don't believe in imposed limitations. I don't believe in any limitations. And that's the reason to do it. Not the other way around. I started with 20 minutes, then 20 more just to see. And I am up to four and five hours in the pool.
Starting point is 01:09:07 I don't understand. Are you having a mental breakdown or something? My mind has never been clear. Well, I know who those people are. One of them was in taxi driver and the other one was in Bugsy. That's right. Yes, that is the TV show. true detective ping pong edition.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Fantastic. Now on the Max Network. Nice. No, that is Nyad. That is a true story, true story, about a swimmer named Diana Nyad, almost palindromic name, and her multiple temps in the early 2010s to swim from Florida, I'm sorry, to swim from Cuba to Florida. Something that she had tried 30 years earlier and didn't make it. because of ocean currents and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:09:56 But she decided to do it again and again and again and again. And this is fascinating and compelling and at times heartbreaking look at Diana's attempts to make that swim unaided. There's a difference between the shark cage-aided versions of that swim where you basically swim in a contained square with netting to keep the sharks and the jellyfish and the other creatures away and then swimming without that. But it's still like a multi-day swim where you can't get on a boat, you can't touch anybody, you can't get any assistance.
Starting point is 01:10:38 It's completely unaided and you have to swim from Cuba. to Key West. So when you do the cage, when you do the cage version, yeah, I assume there's people in a boat nearby, they're moving that cage for you? Regardless of which way you do it,
Starting point is 01:10:53 there's always people in a boat nearby, especially, and that's Jody Foster's role. So Annette Benning plays Diana Nyad, and Jody Foster plays her best friend, her coach, her supporter, her biggest fan,
Starting point is 01:11:06 but easily the most important person in Diana's life that is there by her side through this whole thing. and even during this multi-day swim is the person on the boat who is always awake and always looking out for her and always making sure that she's okay and even squeezing gelgoo into her mouth as she swims on her back alongside the boat and sometimes being the only voice of reason in Nyad's life many times being the only voice of reason. There is facial jellyfish stings that happen in this movie. There are some amazing shark, anti-shark technology that you see in this film. Reza Ifans, is it re, I'm sorry, Rees, Rees-Effans, is in this as well.
Starting point is 01:12:00 The Lizard, and Xenophili's Love Good and Deathly Hallows is in this as well, Notting Hill, the great roommate but it's really it's really a two-person show it really is there you know it's it's 90% about Diana and Bonnie
Starting point is 01:12:19 Bonnie yes so these are they both got they both got nominated for Oscars yeah they both got nominated for everything like uh well for the golden globes they both got nominated for the screen actors guild awards and then they both got nominated for for the Academy Awards
Starting point is 01:12:34 well deserved like this is a movie that I'd say yeah looking at the other 10 nominees, at least the ones we've seen. It makes sense that Nyad wasn't in the best picture running, but after watching this, I feel like both of them are strong
Starting point is 01:12:51 contenders for the best actress and best supporting actress. Okay, interesting. This is on Netflix. That's their deal this year, right? This is their... They produce this film, I think? They produce this film, yeah. This is distributed by Netflix
Starting point is 01:13:06 produced whatever but basically this is going to be on your Netflix for for for a long time in perpetuity probably yeah not that I want you to wait on seeing this I think it's it's fantastic and if you it's it's kind of like it's kind of like I mean it's a dramatization or it's a biopic it's it's not a documentary but it's done they integrate some documentary kind of things into it that make it really interesting one of the masks that uh Diana has to wear on this thing is just, is just bizarre. It looks like somewhere between a horror movie franchise and future robot thing.
Starting point is 01:13:50 It's just a silicone mask. It's a silicone mask. It's a silicone face. But it looks very Hannibal Lecter. Yes. Semi-transparent Hannibal Lecter Silicon mask. Interesting. Do you, Randy, you saw this?
Starting point is 01:14:05 You liked it? Yes, very much. within minutes of the Oscar nominations coming out, a friend of mine who's this huge filmophile emailed all his friends and he said, 2023 was the best year at the movies
Starting point is 01:14:19 since 2008. So 15 years, the best year. And his first thing was Nyad. You need to watch Nyad. Really? Yeah. Well, he must have... I would agree. Did he sleep during 2015? Because what happened there? I mean, there were some great movies in there. You know, I would...
Starting point is 01:14:34 The depth of, like, every, all 10 of the Best Picture nominees are so good. I would be inclined, you know, now that I'm re-looking at the list, I would be inclined to maybe pull out Maestro and put this in its place, put Nyad in its place. You could probably do it with past lives, too. Really? I haven't seen past lives yet, but that's on the list. The premise of it sounds really cool, past lives, but anyway, really, really good. Nyad, it's on Netflix, and it's another one of these that is,
Starting point is 01:15:07 very well, I would say it must be the editing because it's very well paced to where you're not like, all right, when's something going to happen? Something is always happening that's fascinating and compelling and intriguing and it's really, really good. And Annette Benning, I think, is, man, does she, I won't say she transforms for this role, but the character that she plays feels unlike anything we've ever seen, Annette. Benning do before. Really?
Starting point is 01:15:39 Interesting. She seems old. She does. She is. She is. She's very old. We're a long way from the grifter is where I fell in love with Annette Benning, but the whole point.
Starting point is 01:15:51 And the whole point of the movie is that it's a 64-year-old woman trying to do something very, very, very difficult. You should have done it a lot younger. Yes, exactly. Should not have waited 30 years to do it, but right. This director made Free Solo. He did, he's the rescue. This guy's all about the, like, hard physical task movies.
Starting point is 01:16:12 Yeah, Jimmy Chen. Yeah. Co-directed by Elizabeth Chai, Vasarli, Vasarli, who is the husband, I'm sorry, the wife of Jimmy Chin. Oh, husband-wife deal. I like that. Husband-wife directing team. Let's hope they can stay together to the Oscars at least. That's right.
Starting point is 01:16:33 That's awesome. All right. Netflix. Get it now. Watch it. Nyad. Sounds like a government agency, doesn't it? Niyad? Kind of, yeah, a little bit. That's funny. We got to get these documents to Nyad stat.
Starting point is 01:16:45 Not her real name, by the way. Her real name is Diana Sneed, but you find out why Niyadh, why she's named Niyadh. Nice. Well, that sounds great. Let's move on to Randy. Randy, you got a clip here. What do you want to do here? Right before the pandemic. A great filmmaker, one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, made a documentary, and it's about a raconteur. What is a raconteur? That's a person who tells fun stories, a charismatic person, right? And that raconteurs tend to be people that are localized, like where I grew up in Texas, we would get a regular video from a guy called the Texas Country Reporter. And sometimes we'd get a video from a guy called Dr. Red Duke.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Rackintours kind of talk about a thing that's, you know, near to them, right? Mm-hmm. Sure. So you're going to hear the subject of this documentary talking to the filmmaker. All right, here we go. Does complaining change anything? I mean, does it help? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:52 You mean, if I complain about the things I complain about, will they change? Yeah. Not so far. I mean, of course, I'm a young woman. I once met a psychiatrist at a party. and I said to him I cannot think of a more boring job than being a psychiatrist
Starting point is 01:18:09 and he said you have no idea what it is like to go to school for 14 years and sit all day long and listen to people complain about noise so apparently that's what is like being a psychiatrist in New York
Starting point is 01:18:24 everywhere else in the country people are talking about their mother their husband no in New York noise they go in it's like $500 They sit there and they complain about noise. Wow. I already like whoever this is. This is Fran Leibowitz, and the film is called Pretend It's a City.
Starting point is 01:18:43 And it is just Martin Scorsese following Fran Leibowitz around and capturing all of her, you know, observations and funny stories about her life in New York City. Fran Leibowitz has been one of those most prominent voices for that city since she moved to. there, I don't know, 70 years ago or something. And she claims to be the first female cab driver ever in New York City. And she just has a rich history. And a lot of it is about the 70s and 80s. The 70s are in 80s or really when she kind of made her bones talking about what it's like to be a New Yorker.
Starting point is 01:19:24 And Martin Scorsese, really good at putting this kind of thing together. It's not only her. I'm sorry. it's not only him talking to her it brings a it brings in her appearances on david letterman and her appearances on like the alec baldwin show and so on yeah but it's a lot of them at the new york public library and they're looking at this gigantic like gym sized map of new york city a 3d map of new york city and it's just it's just a really beautiful film i want to see this um for those who don't aren't familiar with her work, uh, I mean, I hear that name and I immediately go, oh, yeah, Fran Leibowitz,
Starting point is 01:20:05 heard about her all the time, millions of times over. Never heard her talk before. Never heard her voice until today. Oh, not to Annie Leibowitz was the photographer. Any relation, by the way, to Annie? No, I don't think so. Not that's, not that's, uh, talked about. No, that'd be interesting. If Fran and Annie and Annie and were siblings. Annie, sure, why not? Yeah, that'd be cool. But her, her, um, her writing is renown and I just, I've known the name forever and I've never heard her voice. And now that sounds really compelling like someone I want to listen to I'm going to go I'm going to check that out and the thing is by in her position as a public speaker she got to know people like Andy Warhol really well and so she was you know kind of standing alongside all of the great events in this place and that's the thing about a raconteur is you kind of find them where the people are right and she just she knew all the people you know she she, you know, she knew Gore Vidal and she knew, you know, James Baldwin and so on. She has a whole section in the jazz scene.
Starting point is 01:21:11 When jazz was really on the rise in the 70s, she was close to all the famous jazz musicians. And Fran is a, she's lesbian, but she has some pretty straight relationships back in the day. yeah and she's just she her angle on everything it sounds like she's complaining at all times but you can tell she really really loves new york and the people and her experiences yeah hung up with the new york dolls uh that robert maplethorpe guy with the maple thorpe uh business that stuff was something remember maple thorpe oh my lord that guy's that guy's photographs holy holy hell in a basket It's a Mapplethorpe, or is it, is it Maplethorpe? I thought it was Mapplethorpe.
Starting point is 01:21:59 I don't know. I always said Mapplethorpe, but I think you're right. It is Mapplethorpe. He drinks a lot of Snappleth. That's what it is. I think you're right. It is Maple Thorpe. That is the guy.
Starting point is 01:22:09 Well, great. Pretend it's a city comes in seven episodes. I would say it's about four hours long. Martin Scorsese is just the king of all things like this. Yeah, he's good at this stuff. He did a thing with her. Did you mention public speaking? He did another documentary featuring her called Public Speaking in 2010.
Starting point is 01:22:30 Yeah, and that was on HBO back in the day. It's probably on Max. I don't know. I remember seeing it, and I was like, eh. So, like, this is very, very good. Much more accessible, probably, right? Like, looks like it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:47 So Netflix, eh? A lot of Netflix today. Look at us on Netflix. Yes. I just two days ago, someone in my, Circle asked, hey, what three streaming services do you require, right? I was like, man, I have like eight subscriptions right now. I should think about cutting some of those for a while, right? Yeah. And I had to, I had to stand and make the case for Netflix. Like, it's hard out
Starting point is 01:23:13 there with all these choices, but Netflix still, it just has so much to offer. Yeah, their original content's very good, despite what people may think of their prices going up and all that. I agree with you. Let's get down to Hulu for a minute, though. Let's walk over to Hulu Town. We're now on Hulu Street, and I'd like to tell you about a thing I watch there that is very old, but I used to love it even when I was very young, and rediscovering it again has been a bit of a treat. So I will play a scene with the actor David Morse in it. Here you go. Everybody makes the man's nurses, patients, patients family. Anybody can handle that 12 hours a day? And I go to sleep in my room and I lie down.
Starting point is 01:23:58 And I'm in my dream. And somebody beeps me from Mr. Jones. Why can't I have my privacy? Why can I eat my meal in peace? Why must I always be available? Constantly. It's a lot to expect from that guy. Wow.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Yeah. This takes me back. like 40 years. Oh yeah, it should. It is St. Elsewhere. Some people may remember this if you're as young as us or as old as us, or whatever you are. In relation to us, this is a show that aired from 1982 to 1988. It was created by Joshua Brand and John Falsy. If you've heard those names before, it's probably because you're fans of Northern Exposure. They're the show they would do after this. And in a lot of ways, it shares some of that DNA. It's kind of got a quirky cast. It's about a hospital and these people in that hospital.
Starting point is 01:24:55 It's the place that you first ever saw people like Ed Begley Jr., Howie Mandel, David Morse, as I mentioned. You'll believe Howie Mandel can be a doctor. That's right. You kind of will. It's weird that way. A lot of really great old actors, too, like Norman Lloyd and William Daniels. But Denzel Washington is the one that on the art now, they make him front and center
Starting point is 01:25:16 because he became the biggest star after this. And he's like 10th billing. Yeah, he's barely in. at least in the early seasons he's in it but it's very spotty and he's barely in it is this is mostly the david morse show in that first season with with no spoilers knowing the ending is it is it is it makes it does it make the show a little harder to watch like uh no because and i know i know you're i know you're mad i know you're reminding me on i'm glad you brought that up because there was a concern when i started it again that i would be like well i know where
Starting point is 01:25:46 this goes so why am i putting myself through this and i think that like And Falsy and what's his name's work tend to be this way. The journey is really the best part. It has to be in this one, yeah. Yeah. And it's very good. They're, you know, I think there are shows like ER and even some of the newer medical procedurals that kind of owe their DNA or a lot of what they put on screen to this show.
Starting point is 01:26:11 Yeah, Gray's Anatomy is just a take on this. Oh, big time. Yeah. It's a little more, you know, it's more focused on the relationships than this one is. but I love David Morris. I could watch him do anything. Like, I love that actor. I loved him in The Rock.
Starting point is 01:26:26 I loved him in a million things. I love that actor, and he is really, really putting his all into this. He's very young. That's the other thing. You're going to think Ed Bagley, Jr. is a child in this.
Starting point is 01:26:36 He's so freaking young. And it's just, it holds up. It's just really well made, really well done. I love the theme song. I love the interaction between, especially William Daniel's Mark Craig character and Norman Lloyd who plays Dr. Daniel Alshlander.
Starting point is 01:26:54 He's basically the head of the hospital and they get in fights all the time and they're just two great old actors just watching them fight. In the last season, Scott, you get Bruce Greenwood and Ronnie Cox. Yeah, some Ronnie Cox in there, baby.
Starting point is 01:27:09 Yeah, got a lot of it. Mark Harmon got his big start here as well. A lot of actors kind of got their feet wet and then went on to other stuff. So I just find it a real comfort kind of food kind of watch. I've got it on kind of in the background. But I really enjoyed if you like that kind of stuff. Hulu's great for it.
Starting point is 01:27:26 It's one of the things I like about Hulu. We've got all this old stuff. And I love checking in on it. And I'm really enjoying it. So that is St. Elsewhere available in full on Hulu.com. And have you gotten yet to their crossover episode with Cheers? I have not done that yet. No.
Starting point is 01:27:41 And I kind of forgot that existed. It's the last, it's the last episode of the third season. Third C, yeah, I didn't know that that was a thing. That's hilarious. That's great. Yeah, that was a popular thing back then, I guess, to crossover weird, weird stuff like that. The three main doctors go to cheers, and they talk to, you know, Cliff Clavin and Norm. That's wild.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Carla's there. Yeah. It's like how the ER guys visited friends, but not quite as the ER guys. No. No, not exactly. It's so funny. I'm looking at this cover art. It's like, Denzel Washington.
Starting point is 01:28:15 and then little tiny pictures of everybody else. Right, exactly. It's funny because it's just not, it's not the Denzel show, not yet anyway. It gets more Denzel heavy toward the end, but, you know, he took on a whole life of his own. Anyway, check it out, available now. These will all be up on quicktms.l.I, and you can find our recommendations there. Randy, it's been a pleasure hanging with you today. Yep, I just got to, I got to get back to the Microsoft grind.

Starting point is 01:29:31 all right exactly not the Microsoft Grindr they're my garbage parody for the birds I like Microsoft Grindr with an R that's pretty good Dylan Microsoft Grindr yeah it's a little dating service they run over there uh love it
Starting point is 01:29:45 Uh, we're going to get out of here now before we do... Oh, no, I swiped left and got clippy. Oh, no! Bob's worst. You don't want Microsoft. Bob is worse. Oh, my God, Bob. Uh, snap, uh, got a quick snap text here from Luke from Boulder there in, uh, Colorado.
Starting point is 01:30:01 He says, not sure if this is a brag or cry for help, but I'm collection level 15-798 in Marvel Snap, including today's release of new, two new cards. I'm only missing 10 cards, and I usually get up to rank 80 or 90 on the latter each season. and to add to yesterday's discussion, Marvel Snap releases a new card every Tuesday like clockwork, plus each new season, which is roughly monthly, also comes out with its own new card. Hope to catch Brian on the ladder someday, says Luke.
Starting point is 01:30:28 I'd love that. Yeah, you'll have to let me know. Are you, um, oh, what is it a whatnot? Isn't that what Luke's name is in chat or am I, I'm confusing with another Luke because we have many Luke's. We have so many Luke's. And they're all ours, so we don't even have one we can call her own. They're all our.
Starting point is 01:30:42 Right, but this one is mine. Yeah, I can't remember what. Luke's screen name is but I'd love to know what your snap nickname is because you'll be quick to identify me
Starting point is 01:30:54 because I play as Coverville but it would be great to to see you in there that's cool 15,000 you know I need what I need to do is actually do the
Starting point is 01:31:03 checklist thing and see how many cards I am missing from the from the full set there needs to be how many total cards are there oh I know what I can do
Starting point is 01:31:12 I can just show unowned let's see here how many total number of cards do you know off top of your head that's a really good question I don't know um number snap cards let's see if we can find it yeah because that seems intense to me that's an ever-growing number like it just went up uh also aren't they in some risk of running out of characters like I mean the marble universe Scott you'll never run out of characters I mean there's got to be some finite number I mean there's some finite but they've got the multiverse so
Starting point is 01:31:42 you know there's oh that's true yeah there's 11 a thousand different spider man alone that they can do that's true um yeah i don't have martyr i don't have grandmaster i don't have whatever is between uh after grandmaster and before morbius in the two energy zero power card i don't have mirage i don't have ravana renslayer i don't have um jean gray no jean gray no jean gray no jean Oh, my gosh. It's a piss off your opponent card basically just makes it so they can't play that nobody can play in that column anymore. Gladiator I don't have.
Starting point is 01:32:27 I don't have whatever is between Silver Samurai and Warpath, which means I don't think I've even seen it. Beta Ray Bill, the most recent Tuesday card. Oh, here's your number as of the second. So how many days was that ago, four or five days ago? About a week ago, yeah. $261 available cards, give or take. And that changes every week, like you said. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Aisle, Lady Death Strike, Eliath. That's it. So I'm probably listed about 14, 15 cards that I don't have. So I'm right behind you, Luke. And there's a few here, surprisingly, that I see. But it says it doesn't even show me what that card is. And maybe those are new season cards, too. you know it just reminded me that they have
Starting point is 01:33:12 unending sources of characters here this article that I found is Black Panther and an Iron Man mega suit thing and I realized all you gotta do is just do all that suddenly Spider-Man's all stretchy because in this universe he got
Starting point is 01:33:28 hit with the gamma rays or whatever cosmic rays in space yeah and the Hulk in this one he's still strong but he's a little tiny tiny Ant-Man Hulk yeah yeah that's how they do it Well, anyway, thank you, Luke. If you want to send us a text, you can 801-4710462.

It's nice and sweaty and ready to play. Let's do it. Good Lord. Yeah, in addition to yesterday being my wife's birthday,
Starting point is 01:33:58 it was the birthday of a lot of people. So I'm actually going to read you a couple of emails for today's ensung, but there's even a third one that I'll try and get to tomorrow for cover. refer the song. Peter Fisher wrote, actually let's do this one. Zoe brings bacon, who also shared a birthday yesterday,
Starting point is 01:34:16 says, hey, sausage and bacon. I want to wish a happy birthday on Tuesday, the 6th of February 2, Peter Fisher, Big Jim, and the most awesome, Tina Ibid. Oh, and it's my birthday, too. I'm much later submitting this request than I should have done so.
Starting point is 01:34:29 If you're not able to fit this in today, that's okay. Love you loads and can't wait to see you again in Vegas. And then she added, if Peter Fisher requested a song, please play that. So this goes out to Zoe and to Peter Fisher. Peter writes, greetings scale mail and brigadine.
Starting point is 01:34:47 Brigandine. As I finish my 53rd rotation of soul, I need a song to be played in recognition. Previously, I've just asked for random music and random genres. Today, I'll be a bit more specific. I'd like a cover of a smooth song, big band, Sinatra style, or Sinatra type, done in a garage band style. Like Sid Rottin's My Way. I think you mean Sid Vicious, but nice. amalgamation of two of the members of the sex pistols.
Starting point is 01:35:12 But not that. Hopefully this request won't be too perilous. Just to be safe, maybe let's test the ship's phasers. Thanks, Peter, from Holy Moneyland. Well, we can definitely test the ship's phasers. Let's test the ship's phasers. There you go. There you go.

But he does exactly what you think he would do.

From the album, Gods and Broads from 2007, here's Frank Sin and Fly Me to the Moon. Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Let me see what springs like on Jupiter and Mars In other words
