The morning stream. I must break you. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's Monday, February 19th, 2024. I'm Scott Johnson. with Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian. Good morning. Hi, Scott. How are you? That felt like it was part drama, part, uh, let me make sure I don't

say 20, 23. Yeah, I don't know what it was actually. I'd like to go, but I'd like to roll back the tape and hear what I was trying to do there because it was effed. That was effed up. Let's subbrute of that business. I don't know. It's Monday, I guess. And, uh, Mondays are weird. I don't know. I actually really like Mondays. We've talked about this. Mondays are all right. It's okay. They're not what I used to, I used to hate Mondays like everybody else. No, I know. I like Mondays. And it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, A lot because of this, a lot because of TMS, to talk to Stephen or Bobby or whoever our guest is.

And it's also an unreal tournament day, potentially. Oh, right. We get to play at around 430 or whatever the hell it was last time. Yeah. Yeah. So look at that, Garfield. Oh, now we do like Mondays. Screw you, dumb tabby cat.

That's right. Jerks. But anyway, I don't know what my deal is, but I'm a little tired this morning, I think. I think I just kind of had a weird night. I slept like a rock from about 10 until quarter to four. Oh, and I don't ever talk about this guy. Maybe I have, but I mean to record it one night, and I almost did last night, and now I'm mad I didn't. But there's this guy who at 3.45 starts up his big freaking diesel truck.

Oh, geez. Neighbor guy. And then he lets it sit. It's not even, well, oh, shit. Water everywhere. Hold on. Time out. Hold on. Great. Put the studio on rice.

Hold on everybody. I got to figure this one out. All right. This only take a second. I'm on all the things I paused. None of that was recorded. Well, the stream part. So, yeah, look, patrons and live streamers. You guys get all the fun. But everybody else, you missed out on a water nightmare that I just cost for myself. It's all right now.

At least it wasn't orange juice or something sticky. And, you know, like we could have been in way worse shape than we are today. what the hell was I saying? What was I talking about? You were talking about the truck driver across the street that, uh, oh, you know what? That even makes me matter because this mess is because I, you're talking about how much you loved Mondays. I just sticulated so hard. It was all because of this jerk in his truck. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, that was all because of him. Yeah. His fault. Um, but yeah, he, at 345 in the morning, he starts the truck. It's not like a, it's not like a big, uh, like a semi. It's just like a regular truck, but it's diesel. powered engine. And they're louder. That's just how those are. They're louder. And so you hear him go, and then that sound you hear for 15 minutes. Right. He just lets it sit. He just basically is charging it up. Yeah. He's letting that thing warm up, whatever he's doing. I don't know what they do. And my understanding is diesel trucks take more to warm up. I don't know. I don't understand it. Exactly. I'm kind of new to this. Certainly possible, yeah. It's possible.

So anyway, he does that for 15 straight, freaking minutes. I can't sleep for that if I'm awake during it. Okay, there's no way, because I just hear it. Then he finally goes, then it finally goes, Y, and I hear him leave like that. You know? Okay. So then he leaves, and it's fine.

And then it's dead silence. And now I can't sleep because it's dead silence after 15 minutes of training my ears to hear this constant sound. So I just lay there going, well, is no good i should do like ibit and just get up i should get up you should just get up yeah get my day going you know uh who what's to hurt one day where i get up at four it's not going to hurt anybody let's just do it if you're going to be awake anyway got four though no four is four for me is still go back to sleep and i will say the uh i've been uh continuing to um to every

night, pick a new, better sleep, sleep story to listen to. Last night, it was the story of Mount Fuji or the legend of Mount Fuji or something like that. And still, I get through, all right, tuck in, make sure you're comfortable, close your eyes. Famous speaker this time. Take a deep breath. A different speaker.

This one was, my name is Ada. Take a deep breath. now exhale you are liking american sleep time this is good exactly and then about you know 10 minutes after i'm asleep so what is your mother's maiden name did you have a pet growing up what was your first pet you start fishing i love it they get you in a fugue state where you're well you'll tell them anything about your bank or you know help me and bolis she get Musen squaw. Yeah.

What is social security number? You go ahead and say? Exactly. Yes. Well, anyway, that's a, it was a real shit show and now I'm tired. Yeah, that is a shit show. My deal to myself is if I wake up at 515,

then I come down and put on the bike shoes, put on the biking unit, whatever that thing's called. Yeah, I now wear the, is it a bib? What is the bike? It's like bike shorts with suspenders that Chuck Robinson got me all hooked on because they're so damn comfortable. Oh, right. Do they have a name, though? No, no, bib is the, it is a bib.

Yeah, okay, cycling bib. It is a bit. And then I'll put on something either on YouTube or I'll do the typical Apple Fitness Plus perpetually happy weirdos that teach those things. Yeah, I don't trust those people. And I'll promise myself to do 30 minutes. so yeah well that's good that you're doing that i don't even think of that i was just like you know what i'll get up i'll do some tms prep maybe i'll play a video game you know i don't know yeah yeah i've been playing no man sky again so thought maybe i could oh really you're back in because they get that new

what's the new thing the interceptor or something well they got a new so a whole a new update called the omega update and i guess it includes like a new expedition some other story content but um interesting every time they do an update i go oh i gotta get in there again yeah yeah so i started a fresh run and I have to say over time, because I used to just go back to my old saves. Yeah. The onboarding early progress in that game is so much tighter

now. It's so good. Oh, really? So it's not it doesn't feel like such a slog of like, all right, no, and I've got to find a planet that has salt. Yeah. Let's go find salt planet. I mean, you still kind of have your goals like that, but it's way less it's way less obtuse, I guess.

It's just got a lot. It's a smoother on-ramp. It's very good. There's the most amazing that is the most amazing story of like let's launch a game in shit shape and have everyone to be pissed at us because it didn't live up to the promise and then let's over the next

however many years it's been 2016 it came out let's turn it into one of the great games ever and they've done that and no one ever does that no one ever falls through like that and they've not asked for a dime since like you paid for the game and all these updates have been free there's no DLC it's crazy

it's crazy crazy it is it is such it is so different from the way most uh most places do it yeah and their next game uh which is called light no fire brought up by universal constant uh constant in the chat uh looks incredible so i have a feeling they've learned a lot from this process and what they do next will be incredible so that's cool they have my faith um all right where are we now oh i got okay let's talk ticket yeah yeah a few things going on tickets are up if you're coming to TMS Las Vegas, Viva TMS Vegas, which is also linked over at VivaTMSVagas.com. You'll find a link to the store. That's at frogpants.com slash store.

It's also there directly if you want to go there. And pick up your tickets now. They are available. Now, what is in that swag bag is considerable, but not totally finalized yet. So I don't have a full listing there. And it tells you all this. So I don't have to tell you again. Anyway, lock in your tickets.

If you want to come to any of these events and be. a part of the community event. You need a ticket and getting them as easy, quick, and fast. They will be limited, though. I think I capped it at whatever we had last year. We can open up for more. I just want to see if we get there first. And then I know what to order and, you know, make sure we have enough stuff. And I know space-wise, I mean, we, I feel like we pretty close to maxed out the space in the sand dollar. Maybe not. Maybe we could have fit some more people on those U-shaped tables in the back, but not much, though, right? It felt like a full, full business there. Yeah. And it It was nice because that was a room that you're not trapped in if you had to get up and get out.

Oh, my God, it's so good. And the bar right there and food options really close by. I mean, it was Sand Dollar is for the only complaint being the stage is a little, is too small for us to actually do the stuff that we do up on stage. Right. They had to put us down a level or whatever it was. Yeah, exactly. We had to be on the floor, which is fine. We were on the floor and worked out just fine.

Yeah, you don't see us. It worked out good. There's some video of that floating around if you want to see what that look like. But if you want your tickets, they're now available. It is up there. You know, don't kill yourselves rushing in there like it's freaking Black Friday or anything. Exactly. They're not close to selling out.

But also, when you sign up, very, very important, if you've signed up for the video game tournament, the Icebreaker, first thing we're doing Monday night, get to know everybody by playing joust against them, that sort of thing. If you've already entered in a name there, like a nickname that you want, make sure you use that same nickname when you buy your tickets, because we're going to use those for tags. So those of you who've gotten the incredibly cool tags from Abby, Shulk, in the Discord, those things are absolutely amazing. She did such a great job with those.

They're red. Yeah. And if you have them, go to the Discord, what is her, Dame? what is something? Dark Dame? Dame Judy Dinch. Let's see. Yeah, that's it.

Exactly. Do a search for Dame Judy Dinch. Um, shit. Dark Dame? Somebody in the chat. Devil's Dame. Devil's Dane. That's right.

Devil's Dame. Do a search for Devils Dame on Etsy and you'll find her. But if you're not doing an embroidered tag, then we want to have some stickers ready for you that have your name already on them. So you don't have to worry about getting things. matched up with your video game tournament name. So people can find you basically. So it's easy for people to say,

oh, hey, I haven't met you yet. Let's go play some blasteroids. Yep. On a barely functioning blastroids machine. Yeah. Yeah, was that the minute? No, it was Asteroids Deluxe that had the problems. Yeah, which I love that game.

I was so sad. I know. Oh, it's so, yeah. It's underrated. People just think of asteroids as the OG, and they're right. It's an amazing game. It's good. Asteroids, too.

adds those bastard triangle things that come in in a little block and then as soon as you shoot them they break apart and four of these little jerks are coming at you like uh it's intense plus all the rocks are rotating it's crazy yes oh it's such great animation yeah yeah it was awesome in the day anyway uh so good check it out available now frogpence.com slash store or vivatimsvagas.com either one will get you there and grab your tickets now while they're available all right all right something All else that you want to sign up for if you haven't yet is The Pond! So this Friday is our TMS play date. Normally play stuff like Jackbox or Among Us or something like that. This week, thanks to

Alcabab, who does our really cool setups for feud and for half-asses, which we'll be playing in a second here. We have a really cool interface for this trivia game where you take territory, basically. And so

it'll make sense when we play it. It's probably easier directions than half-asses, honestly. You just basically pick a category that you want to compete against somebody in. So we need sign-ups, though, because I need to be able to write questions this week for the next four days, write in questions for people to play.

And I think if we get five more players than we're at 16, but we've got a bunch of prizes. I've got Master of the Universe Battlebox or Battlebones. thing, which carries a bunch of the evil. They've got like the evil, I should grab it's

right here. Do you have it handy? Let's take a look at it. I'm sure Skeletor is involved somehow. We've got some, probably some two-man. What's the bad lady in the I can't remember her name? Dinella, Dionysus, Giavelli. I can't remember here. I should just grab it.

Well, they just grab it. It's right here. So it is the ProBuilders Mega Constructs Battlebone. and you can see it here. Oh, there you go. It's the little entranton. There's the few less number of lights on it. But check this out.

You get like all these little mini-figs of these Master of the Universe bad guys, including a stink or. Stinkor. Stinkor used to stink. Like the toy you'd get had a smell. Moss Man? No, it is stinkor, isn't it? Yeah, stinkor.

Wasn't it? Well, it comes with an air freshener. No, it's Moss Man. A moss man. Boss man air freshener. Shut up, dude. That's great. It includes air freshener.

Okay, that's weird. Oh, because you'll hang his head from the back here, from your car window. From your car window, exactly. 20 accessories, like shields and swords and axes and stuff. I mean, this thing's really cool. Who are the figures on there? Because it looked like he-man's one of them. I thought it was just villains.

Well, it's the negative he-man, faker. Oh. He-man inverse. Inverse, he-man, yeah. as well as man at arms teela and moss man okay well man at arms was a good guy wasn't he was a good guy yeah same with teela yeah so maybe they're opposite are they opposites maybe i guess it just carries whoever wants to walk around in this thing is what it does or maybe faycor he uh he he he he's he kidnapped them this is the whole story yeah that's true exactly and then a mario cart i'm like i can open this up

and still keep it mint in box because it's mint and plastic but check this out This is, look at that little silver Mario with a hang glider deal. Hot Wheels, die cast, Mario Kart. Just sign up, guys. Exactly. You want to win this. Batman Q. Fagin, it's, like I mentioned, it's the gray and black Adam West style Batman. Yeah, those are cool.

Yeah, so those are just three of the things. We'll also have some other stuff we're throwing in. So here's how you go. Here's how you do it. QuickTMS.L.I. You should have that bookmarked anyway because it's the greatest website ever for keeping track of what we play on TMS and recommendals and Amy's books and things like that. No doubt.

Quicktms.l.i slash the pond. Yeah. And you can sign up and if you're a winner, you win. Yeah. No chicken dinner, but you'll win. Don't worry about it. That's right. I've taken the first, I think the first 16 players because we need a number that's a square.

and right now I think we're at 13 so three more players and if this thing goes to 25 I might do it 25 but that means I have to write 75 questions yeah that's a lot of questions to have to write that's a lot of questions I kind or I guess I have to write 100 so I really I really only want to write 48 because I'm like I can say that's lazy

writing 48 questions no it's still it's still a lot but we need you we need your help you guys come sign up Super simple. Little forum, no big deal. I realize we're giving you a lot of websites today, but that's one you got to do. That's right. And just U.S., unless you are, unless you're coming to TMS, Vegas, and then I'll consider bringing your prizes to Vegas. Yep.

Because these are big. This would cost more to ship than it would just to buy you something from your local, your country's Amazon. Yeah, plus Brian will have to explain them at the TSA, which I love. Oh, I don't have to do that. Unless you check a bag, yeah. Yeah, I guess you'll definitely put them in check the bag. I'll definitely put them in check luggage. It's like, why are you carrying a Stinkor air freshener?

Yeah, what's that about? I like to. Is that for business or for pleasure, sir? Are there batteries inside of Stinkor? So if you're outside the U.S. and you still register, and there are a few people I think are outside the U.S. you get, as always some great steam games and you'll get more than just the usual two. I'm going to give you, I'll probably give you like a thing that's got a base game and a bunch

of DLC style. Oh, yeah, it's a good idea. So, yeah. I like it. You'll get good stuff. Don't worry if you're outside. Yeah, you got to hurry, though, because it's this weekend, you slackers, all right? That's right.

It's Friday. So I need you, I really need you to register today so I know what questions to write. Yeah. So get off your freaking asses. That's right. And get in there. Exactly. Brian.

Hey, Scott. You sent me the funniest voicemail yesterday. I did. So I did some lifting yesterday. And in addition of care, I took somebody to a 30th birthday party. and um was it theirs or somebody else's party it was somebody else's somebody else's party and uh she said yeah i'm going to a i'm going to a pulp fiction themed birthday party and i look back and i say oh no shit you're vincent vega and she's like black and white suit she didn't she has the uh the bolo tie but she hadn't put it on yet she's like i'm not putting on that stupid bolo tie until i have to and she also had a wig that she hadn't put on yet wow but she's like uh yeah this this this girls having a 30th birthday party, she likes Pulp Fiction, so she wanted everybody to dress as characters from Pulp Fiction. I said, oh, that's great.

And she's like, yeah, I didn't want to, I didn't want to be Mia Wallace because I figure every woman there is going to be dressed like Mia Wallace. Like, yeah, that totally makes sense. Then she says, we had about an eight minute, 10 minute drive. She says, like, um, like, um, hey, so she says to me, she says, so she said, uh, it's been a while since I've seen the movie. what are some Vincent Vega things Okay Here's what you got to do Talk about you just came back from Amsterdam

And talk about how you can't You can It's legal to smoke pot When you're in the pot shop And it's legal to have it at home But you can't possess it on the streets Or something like that I can remember the details on that

Talk about a $6 milkshake You know order a $6 milkshake And say it's pretty damn good milkshake yeah um do uh you know do the batousy you know the whole thing with your the the the two fingers over the eyes i think that's the battsy yeah i think that's it right uh i mean i don't know i always think of it as either the batusi or the thing they do in pulp fiction i never i don't actually know if it's supposed to be the same or not i don't know and then uh oh is it a five dollar milkshake damn it done away all right five dollar milkshake it's you know it's gone up

since 94. Tell her to accidentally shoot somebody in the face in the back seat. Lamar, Lamar. I was also saying, you know, like, do a thing where you're going to do something and then turn around and then go the other way and look back like your. Oh, yeah, like you're lost. You have a coat over your arm.

You're like, do that. I like that. And then die on a toilet. Die on a toilet when you're dying. Oh, that's a shame. Isn't that where he died? I think he did. What's that?

Didn't he die in a toilet? He did die in a toilet, yeah. So I'm not making that up in my head. I swear, I swear that's a little. I shot him on the toilet. That's right. He couldn't get to his gun in time. Yeah.

Then I had another ride where I picked a dude up. And one of my, you know, if they're chatty, one of my usual questions is, so have you, did you grow up here in Colorado? Because 99% of the time people in Colorado did not come from Colorado. We're not born in Colorado. They came from somewhere else. I don't know why we have so many transplants, but we do have so many transplants. And he says, well, you know, I've been here long enough. that I might as well have been here forever.

I'm like, oh, really? Yeah, 197. I'm like, oh, wow, you've been here almost as long as I've been alive. He's like, crazy. And then he says, yeah, my kids don't live here anymore. They grew up. They were born here, but they live out of the country now. One of them lives in Canada, and the other one lives in France.

Oh, wow. And the one in Canada, he's a podcaster. And I was like, oh, really? And he says, yeah, he does a podcast called The Theory of Everything. and I did a search and it's like oh yeah I found it Benjamin Walker's theory of everything and he says yeah he's he's an OG podcast he's been doing a long time and I'm looking at it right now

I was like oh he has 199 episodes how cute that's adorable it's adorable of course I didn't say that but I did start saying oh that's cool I do podcasting as well but before I could even get three of those words out he talks over me and says yeah you know he did an episode about propaganda and art and how the FBI is involved and all that stuff. I'm like, oh, really, that's interesting.

He's, yeah, yeah, he's been doing that for quite a while. And, you know, he also does a little bit of, like, you know, work with music and musicians. I'm like, oh, cool. And I train again, interject, oh, well, that's cool. I do a music-related podcast. And, again, two words out before he just starts talking over me. Of course. And he's talking about, yeah, you know, I really like that Taylor Swift.

She's, I don't know any of her music, but she really knows. how to market herself, and I think that Roger Goodell, you know, is thankful to her for bringing a whole new audience to people watching football games and stuff like that. Oh, my gosh. But she's just super talented. She knows it, you know, kind of like how Madonna marketed herself

in the 80s. I'm like, yeah. He says, yeah, and who's that lady that all my lesbian friends liked, played piano in the 90s? I'm like, Tori Amos. He says, yeah. Because all my lesbian and friends in the 90s, like Tori Amos as well. So I was a lucky guess.

And then he says, you know, and who's that Madonna's protégé? Oh, yeah, Lady Gaja. Gaja. Gaja. And I... Gaja. Did I miss hear him? Did he just call a Lady Gaja?

Why would you make that... Did you get him to squeeze it out again? Is that what she did? Did you get him to say it again to confirm it somehow? Yes. Like you said, yeah, I like a lot of her music. And he's like, yeah, you know, I kind of like Lady Gaja. Like, he said it twice.

I was like, yeah, he really, he really is intentionally saying Lady Gaja. Gaja, dude. Gaja. I don't like it. It sounds terrible. I don't either. It's so, it's like you could, why would you look at G.A. And think that the second Gaja is soft.

Dude, I'm, I'm barely okay with Gaga, to be honest. So when you put Gaja in there, it's worse. Yeah. Like, Lady Kaja Gougu. Is that what are you be confusing things here? I don't know. Well, it's saying. Like he, you know, just...

Old, maybe. It was a super nice guy. And then finally, finally, just as we're pulling up to his house, he was quiet for a second, I could say, well, if you like music and you like, I didn't say, if you like some Lady Gaga covers, I played quite a few on my podcast, which has been going on since 2004. That's right. You and your Canadian son could learn a thing or two. Exactly.

But I did tell him about cover. It was like, oh, awesome. I'll check it out. I don't, I don't, I hardly ever self-promote. If somebody asks me about my license plate, cover me, then I'll, then I'll get into a little bit, but, yeah, but. And that usually means they're interested and they want to ask. It's not like, exactly. Yeah, people want to chat, people want to talk.

Yeah, it's different than you, you know, offering stuff up or whatever. Well, that's cool. I got a thing. And for the record, and for the record, I like Tori Amos, too. Oh, I love, yeah, Tori Amos is great. But I like, but I like women as well. Maybe there's something there. Oh, hey.

You're a lesbian and a man's body. Orie Amos is for people who like women. I always said if I was a lady, I'd be a lesbian. Because I love the ladies. Right. If you change me right now and went poof and I was a lesbian or I was a lady, I'd be a full on lesbian, for sure. Can't wait to hear Talley's take on all this. All right.

Something happened the other day. It's very weird. I want to thank. So first of all, thanks his dude to Jim Jensen, who we'd bring up occasionally. He's a local, comes to everything, awesome dude. Him and Robin are just wonderful people. people and every once in a while he'll be out our way and he'll just bring something nice to the door it's just he just does this out of the goodness of his heart it's like hey i found a bunch of

coke zero three thousands for on sale i'm just gonna leave him on your store stuff i'm like do you have to do that and he just likes doing nice things and his wife makes these beautiful cards and they always do something nice when the kids you know when the kids all had their kids they always right there with stuff uh they gave us covid so i was nice back in that's so nice wow the gift that keeps on giving Yeah, they were our COVID patient zeros in our house. But anyway, just wonderful people. And Jim the other day says, hey, I'm bringing a bag over.

I said, cool. I'm not actually home, but I'll watch for it. I get home. And there's a bag. We take it in. And we had only had the, he'd barely been there. So it'd only been there for maybe four and a half, five minutes or something on the porch. And I take it in the house and it's a bunch of cool stuff he got.

And the bag smells, though. We're just like, oh, what's wrong with his bag? I don't know. Something's wrong. The bagger just really stunk. It was like terrible, like, caustic pee smell. And I thought, what did Jim do? You know, I was like freaking out.

What did it actually happen? So I decided to go look at the video evidence. Okay. From the doorbell. Uh-huh. And it featured Jim dropping off bags. No problem. Yeah.

Set it down, left. Nothing weird. Almost immediately after he put them down. A cat, I don't. recognize, ran up on the porch, peed all over the bag, and then left. Oh, no. Just ran up, mark the bag, and left. And it's not our, it's none of our cats or even Carter's cat that comes around that she feeds. It wasn't even that cat. It was this other big old main coon. He was huge. It was like a, I don't know, it looked like a mountain lion's size cat. He wasn't, but it looked like

it. I think Anara's main cat. Yeah, big cat. Big cat, big fluffy cat. And it just walked up there right on camera and went peat all over the bag and then left don't ask me dude i don't know why i mean i'm sure there's a bit of a turf war going on out there that i don't know about and this cat was the marking territory and that's what they do it could be well it also could be that um that the whatever jim dropped off had a little bit of a like i don't know if they've got a cat but it could have another cat smell on it oh i didn't think of that and so they they're like oh no that's not yours now it's mine I have to ask Jim about

he'll hear this and he'll he'll film me in because I haven't told him yet I wanted to wait for the show to bring it up but everything the good news is it was only the outside of the bag everything on the inside totally fine 100% good but Kim grabbed the bag first brought it in and she's sitting there going I still smell it I still smell it I'm like

do you really and I got over near her and I'm like ooh I can smell it too she'd gotten part of the bag on her sleeve so she had to go oh no the oh had transferred from the B. The O had transferred from the B and it stayed. You couldn't get rid of it.

Oh, shoot. But the Dr. Paper Zeros that were in there were fantastic. Thank you, Jim, for those. Oh, very cool. You know, whatever it is about cat's urine, it is like the most caustic, horrendous, evil, vile liquid known to man. Oh, name something worse.

It's hard. It's hard to name. Like, what smells worse? old man pee, but that's after it's been sitting around. It's not even close. Something wrong with cats, dude. That smells like whiskey, by the way. Cats are gross. Awesome.

Love cats, but when they're like, you know what, we're in our primal state, I got to pee on his bag. Yeah, exactly. F that little hairy bastard. And shiny hunter, Dom, says skunk. I still say cat urine is worse than skunk. You know what? I agree. I can deal with skunk somehow.

I don't know why. I mean, I don't like it, but I can deal with it more than I can deal with really strong cat pee. Forget it. Something about it. And like a house where it's been peed in, like constantly. Freaking gross, man. Gross. Can I show you what

Enara did this morning? Yes. She knocked over Galactus and broke his two little wind vane things off the side of his head that were glued in. So that's currently, a new one is currently printing on the 3D printer right now. But

we should impede. on it. She did not pee on it. She like, you know, and I had it. It's my own damn fault. I had a package for somebody sitting on the edge of the table and she's rubbing her face on it like, oh, yeah, this is mine. It's scratching my face and all that.

Well, Galactus, the top half of his body with his head resting on it because I haven't glued anything yet was right next to that bag and so she knocked the whole damn thing off. Dang, dude. Just broke off the head, but this head is six pieces. It's like

two parts to the head, two little ear cylinder deals, and then the two wind vanes. The wind vines are the wimpiest probably, I would assume. They are. And that's what broke off of the two wind vines. And there's not enough connection point for me just to glue them back on. So I'm just printing it. It's two. It'll be four hours of printing.

It's no big deal. Just make a new head. That's how you deal. Just make a new head. And now I've got this one to try with the airbrushing, because I want to do the airbrushing on his uh his face for like really good skin tones like having the red underneath the flesh tone to kind of um make it look good that's good yeah now you got a little practice uh have a practice piece yeah that's good see all lemonade folks lemonade that's right this lemon is already

cat pee no wait what yeah that's exactly right uh we're going to get done away in we're going to play a game we talked about it earlier but we're going to fulfill our commitment uh to his said game and get him in here and play it. He's waiting dutifully in the chat room, I noticed. So may as well not keep that guy waiting any longer. Hey, look who it is. It's a former fifth place, sixth place, unreal tournament player, Brian Dunaway, aka shock effect.

What's going on, man? What are you doing? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Just waiting on a phone call. remember Scott stay hydrated yeah thank you Stephen I appreciate it that worked out great no everything my computer my computer is completely hydrated now

and uh yeah I'm still a little worried that I did I mean these these keyboards are basically solid state now so it's not like there's a lot of power electronics in them but yeah I mean they're not magnets no but also but this hard drive a little

I have a little SSD sitting out here that got completely drenched but I think I think it's it's fine because the it's like a yeah as long as it wasn't plugged in right it was just sitting there no it was plugged in it's still plugged in but it's plugged in via USB thunderbolt and it's also kind of water it's not just it's not like a raw dog and it on this is it's in a case right yeah yeah oh yeah I don't have it just out if the USB connection get water no it got uh looks like it missed that connector so

okay okay yeah and even then there's not that much power that goes through there so Damn, dirty humans. I just think, based on what I've got here, I would have already had a problem with something if it was going to happen. Yes, correct. I think I'm okay. Anyway, Donoway, it's good to have you here.

We're going to play a game. You know how it works. Brian, you'll explain it anyway and what the winners might win. What do you got there? Yes, it's time to play the morning half asses, trivia game where I'm actually going to be giving the two of you the answers. I'll give Scott and Brian a category and six possible answers,

three of which are correct, and three, they're like that dude's pronunciation of Lady Jaja, totally incorrect. Depending on how confident they feel With the category They can provide one, two or three guesses But if any of those guesses are wrong They get zero points for that round

Get one right gets you a point Two right gets you three points And three right gets you five points Do the math folks Person with the most points after three rounds Wins the prize for their contestant And contestants will be pulled from members Of the Tadpool that aren't able to listen live

Scott you're playing for Mike Cummins in Ireland Woohoo Over there in the Land of Ireland Brian you're playing for Kevin Fisher in Seward, Nebraska. Seward, Nebraska, the corn huskers. Yeah, right? That's right. Yeah, well done.

Absolutely, the corn huskers, yes. Huskin some corn. That's right. That's right. And prize today is the last set of comic book day prints signed by Scott and Carter. So got a few left and you're going to get all of them. You don't get your choice. You get what's left.

So I've missed comic. I've missed comic book day, right? That's totally past, right? I've only got to look forward to record day, right? Free record day. Free comic book day is beginning of May as well this year. Okay. And record store day is April 20th.

Sports 20. Yeah, baby. That's right. Or whatever that week, the closest weekend is, oh, there's a Sparks picture disc I got to get or a Plexi disc. There's a spawn according to the community. Yes, there is. There's a spawn picture desk as well. Really?

That's a, I didn't know. That was a saying. Spawn. Yeah. All right. way. So there you go. Those are those are the prizes you can win. Let's get to the game. Let's start with

your first category here. Your first category dinosaurs. Quite simply dinosaurs. Which of these are actual dinosaurs? There's no such thing as actual dinosaurs. Well, okay. Which of these were actual dinosaurs? How's that? It's just the tense. All right,

Mr. Samantix. Your choices are Swupasaurus, Technisars Grimlockadon, Dracorex, Hogsworthia. I'm trying not to give anything here. Slag Cephalosaurus and Irritator. Irritator. Irritator. Swupasaurus, Technosaurus, Grimlocadon, Dracorex Hoggwortia, Slag Cephalasaurus, and Irritator.

Wow. It's like a couple of my relatives. The irritator. Irritator. My sex move, by the way. Technosaurus. I mean, some of these have to be right. Yeah. Yeah, three of them have to be right.

They all sound wrong. Three of these dynos really existed, according to the scientist. Dude, dude, dude. I'm doing two of them because I don't know. You guys both did two as well. You both have locked in, so let's talk about your choices. Slag Cephalosaurus, you both locked in on that one. Uh-oh.

Yeah, that's a dynobot from Transformers. Shit, the Slag Cephasars. Oh, really. Stupisaurus and Grim Lockadon. Techosaurus is named after Texas Tech Oh, of course. Dracorex Hagwurtzia, of course. That's what I was worried about.

These weirdos discovering new dynos are going, We should name it something like the popular culture. Sure enough, Irritator is a dinosaur. Wow. I don't know what Irritator looks like. What did you? Like a run up and peckia? They run away. They should have swapped Irritator and Slagga Slaugus

because they sound like the irritator sounds like, the irritator sounds like a transformer to me. It totally does. Yeah. But I got one of them. Definitely. I got one of them done away. Look at me with the technosaurus. And how many points did you get for that water, water man? I got precisely 0.0 points. Oh, that's right. So you're a half ass, even a half ass. That's right. I try it. I'm 0.5 asses. Yep. Let's get to question number two. Science. Which of these molecules have oxygen? them. So, you know, when you look at the, you know, how, how water is H2O, that O is oxygen. All right. Your choices are glucose, ammonia, formaldehyde. Yeah. You have ammonia. It's moot. I do have ammonia. I totally have ammonia. Wow. It's another transform. Make a sure that's not a trick. It should be ammonia. I type these really fast and there's no autocorrect. Formaldehyde, how do I get that one right? Hydrochloric acid, methane and silica.

Okay. Or methane, as they say in the U.K. Glucose, ammonia from aldehyan hydrochlorococid, methane, and silica. I should know this. Does cat pee have oxygen in it? If it did, it's very hard to detect while you're smelling it. The card says ammunium. It says amunium.

I'm sorry. Amazing. I'm just not sure about any of these. It's funny because I've been studying some of this, but I still don't know. Yeah, I've been getting into some chemistry stuff, just side, side. Man, working with pins and chemistry. Who are you? I don't know what's going on.

Are you trying to make some meth? I don't know. Yeah, maybe. Oh, yeah, this is, I'm on a list now or something probably for me. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, your keyboard now has H-T-1. Yeah, it does. All right, let's get to your answers.

You both locked in on methane or methane. No, methane is CH4. So, four hydrogen. That was a late pick of stress. Glucose, once again, Scott picks one correctly, but then settles on a second one that's incorrect. Glucose, yes, does contain oxygen molecules. So does formaldehyde and silica. So, Brian, you also had one, right?

I'm kind of surprised formaldehyde has oxy. It would seem like that would be the opposite of what you want, providing oxygen to, whatever. Well, it's not like living oxygen. It's just like. Preservation. formaldehyde is water with an additional carbon. Carbon. Carbon is C, right? Yeah. Carbon. Yeah. So carbon monocle. I guess that makes sense. It's carbon monocle. Monocle. It's a C.H2O is formaldehyde. I didn't have time to reason it out because somebody gets mad when I start trying to reason. Are you Googling? No, he's reasoning. It's fine. Reasoning is important. And you have the room to do that here. It's fine. No, I don't. You guys are both. Take five seconds long. We're both sucking.

Rocking zero points here. Do you think you can do better on this last one? Let's go to food. All right. Food is easy, right? We all know food. Yeah. Which of these are super hot peppers?

Your choices are. Oh, here we go. The Madame Jeanette, the Naga Viper, the Honey Badger Berry, the Peruvian white habanero, the Thamatin chili, and Tiger Venom. Which of these are super hot peppers? This is a situation where I should go three to try to Why don't you just tell me what you want to answer

I'll just two Two's it. All right, okay You guys both settled in on the Naga Viper Come on World Warcraft players, you guys settled in on Naga Viper? Oh, really? It is a hot, super hot pepper. The Naga Viper is correct, but Brian picked that one.

Scott, you also pick Tiger Venom. No, Tiger Venom is not. It's just what's in, it's what's in Charlie Sheen, I believe. Yeah, Charlie Sheena. The Madame Jeanette is 325,000 Scoville units. The Peruvian White Habanero is 350,000 Scoville units. And the Naga Viper, 1.3 million Scoval units. Oh, my gosh. Do not eat the fishman pepper.

Do not eat a Naga Viper. I've been watching, yeah, I've been watching hot ones on YouTube lately for some reason. Just a huge collection of those. I thought the one with John Oliver, and it was fantastic. Yeah, that's what started to me. I thought the Madame Jeanette thing was a brand, not a pepper. That's what threw me on that.

Damn it. Yeah, we got to pick a pepper, Scott. There are bottles covered in that name, and I just thought that was like, you know, I don't know, just the name of the lady who bottled it. Apparently not. So you've seen bottles of that stuff. I have. We have one in our house, I think.

But it's not the hottest I've ever had But I guess you already told us Which was the hottest, the Naga pepper Yes, let's see It is a Originally from Suriname Chili Pepper Cultivar of the Species Capsicum

Chinense Wow You're just making up words now I am I just totally I just A-I'd With the Okay so TV's Travis is blowing my mind He says it's like Tabasco

It's a brand name and a pepper Really? Yeah See I didn't know I knew Tabasco was a brand name. I didn't know it was a pepper name. I thought Tabasco peppers, yeah. I thought that was just the name of the county or a state in Mexico too.

I've even been to the factory. I didn't know this. I feel like an idiot. Yeah, is this one this one? Was it downtown? The factory? No, it was off the coast of Louisiana. And I can't remember, did we have to go to an island or something like that?

We had to. Yeah, the Tabasco factory where you get the teeny tiny little bottles of Tabasco just for doing the tour. I also got to blow up one somewhere in here. like a beach ball. Really? Yeah. But I didn't know, even while I was there, that that was the name of the pepper. I had no idea.

Well, anyway, Avery Island, that's it. Yeah? Oh, yeah, Avery Island. I know I thought I was making that up. That's a truth. It was an actual item. Well, yeah. See, now look what we've done.

We've got ourselves in a real pinch here. Look at what you were wrong. Oh, no, you won, you bastard. I just realized you got a point. Their fuck's figure says it's pronounced Surinami. It is not pronounced Surinami. It's pronounced Suriname. I went with one, Scott, because I knew you, you're greedy.

I knew we'd go at least two, and my chances increased because I knew it's more likely to miss than hit. Well, you're in huge trouble today. Giving away your strategy. You want to do that? You'll forget by the next time we do it. That's true. Congratulations, then going to Kevin. In Seward, Nebraska, you're getting the last set of Carter and Scott signed free comic book day prints.

So I will contact you to get your mailing address and get these out to you. Very, very nice. Oh, I guess that's true. I did this and didn't, don't have something for the runner-up. Renner-up, you're going to get Steam games. Oh, all right. Some sort of Steam games. That's right.

Some sort of Steam games. Mary Steam game. Mary Steam, Bergen game. Got it. That's right. Well, well done, and congratulations. Congratulations. Yep, you're the winner.

And we're going to send that to you right away. In the meantime, Brian Denoway here, we're going to play a little unreal later today, are we? Yes, we've got an insider. We're going to do 2004. or UT 99. It's entirely up to you. I mean, whatever the community wants,

I don't care. I'll dominate whoever wants to come. Do I have to download and install something else if you don't do 2004? Well, then here's my vote. Here's my vote. Don't make me download and install something different.

Yeah, if you've got, he has 99. He doesn't have 04. You have 99. So we can totally roll with 99. We can totally roll with 99. Oh, yeah, I totally have 99.

Yeah, it's not a problem at all. Is it a lot of work to do 2004? Not really. just another ISO install, you're done sort of thing. It's up to you, but 04 is kind of the pinnacle of the series, in my opinion, and it's very good. And Scott's pretty good at it. Yeah, I'm pretty good at both, but if you want to come and get rocked, tonight's your night, 4.30 Mountain. Right?

430 Mountain, 630 year time, right? Correct. Correct. Okay. Well, details over at Retrogib.com, everybody. And in the meantime, Brian Dunaway goes suck it. Oh, you. Oh, man, it didn't even remove him like I asked.

Oh, there it goes. Okay. Bastard slow discord bullshit. All right. We are, oh, it's time. We're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, we're going to be joined by Stephen Schleiker. It's his week, and we've got things to talk about.

So stick around. Before we do that, though, a song from Brian Ibitt. What do you got there, Brian? Yes. Boy, oh, this is great. We're going some down-tempo trip hop today from the pioneer, the godfod. of Downtempo and Tripop. A guy named Eric Hilton, I'm sorry,

Eric Hilton of a Thievery Corporation. You've heard of him. This one feels like it just belongs in a Quentin Tarantino film. It is so damn good. The song is called Poppy Fields. It's a brand new single, released by Eric Hilton,

and it starts like this. I'm going to be I'm going to be. I'm going to I'm going to be. . Wow. I'm going to be

Only 39 cents for a burger. I'm hungry already. What am I going to do? If I don't get this stupid thing off, I'll be dead by the end of the day. I'm talking about food.

And we've returned. Who was that again? Yeah, that was down-tempo godfather, Eric Hilton, and the song Poppy Fields. Great instrumental track for you on this Monday morning. Ooh, Poppy Fields. Poppy fields. Poppies, poppies, poppies, poppies. If you walk around in those and then you get tested, drug test.

that they'll think you're doing here when you're going to watch out it's true best to be you best be careful yeah don't just walk in there know what you're getting into that's right all right uh some of this and now welcome stephen to the show he's a huge freaking nerd dollar dollar bills y'all biggest nerd we know it's stephen schliker all the way from major spoilers dot com in the vicinity of hayes kansas welcome back sir how are you oh i don't hear uh oh is he muted he's muted his microphone is muted. I saw rings of ring. Oh, there we go. We hear you. Hello.

Oh, you're fine. Listen, we're all muted sometimes. Fine. Everybody gets muted sometimes. Everybody mutes sometimes. You know the song. There you go. Steven, how are you? What are you doing? Much better than you are, although

that reminds me your little water incident. Yeah. Reminds me of something back in the day when I used to work at a TV station. Big sign on the door. No food or drink allowed in the control room. No food or drink is a beaten into us every single day. No, I know better. This is the worst part of this. I absolutely know better. This gets, this gets better and should make you feel a lot better about your incident. Oh, okay, good. So one day, come on, come in, turn on the TV station. Yeah. And it's like after a few minutes,

equipment is warming up. This is back in the analog days. Yeah. What's that sweet, that sweetly smell that I smell. Uh-oh. And then you see a little bit of smoke, a little bit curl out from. from the switcher. Oh, shit. Somebody the night before had spilled a Coke all over the switcher and tried to try their best to clean it up, but they failed to remember that Coke, you know, goes down into all the little cracks and crevices and they've gotten inside the switcher. And when the engineer opened it up, it was like this caramelized, fried mess.

Oh, God. That's awful, dude. That makes me have. I hope that person was fired. Yeah, you're out of here, buddy. They were. I think they were. Were they for that?

Well, I guess you probably would be, especially if you had a rule. You're looking at a $10,000 super. Back in 1980s, yeah. That's a lot. You did not follow the rules written hastily on a piece of paper and tape to the door. Yeah. I will say, though, I did this. I spilled a Coke on a surface once.

And it wasn't, because it was zero, they don't get as sticky. Like the real, the sugar and or corn syrup is way stickier than whatever fake bullshit we put in those now. Well, anyway. I'll tell you what's not fake. This appearance by Steven Schlecker. He comes on here and talks about nerd stuff. And usually it's comic related because we're all big fans here of the comic book world and all that. Of course.

There's a few people in the chat that are like, I don't like comics. Well, tough shit. We're doing it. Yeah, exactly. You and you. Out. For example, Marvel cancels all X-Men titles again. Please explain this.

What happened? Yeah, so for, I don't know, it feels like a decade now. Marvel has been doing this new Krakawa era where it started with Jonathan Hickman's, the House of X and the Powers of X series, where all the Xmen got together and they all decided to be kumbaya and do good for the world. And then, of course, recently it all came crashing down. And so the fall of the House of X and the rise of Powers of X have chronicled the downfall of the X men for the last couple of months. And I think Marvel's getting ready for a big reboot because the solicitations for cable and fall of the house. House of X and Invincible Iron Man and Wolverine are all like final issue. And so I think we're getting ready for a big reboot of the X-Men universe, or at least a new era of the X-Men.

And, you know, a lot of people are big fans of X-Men. Maybe not so much this past weekend if you followed X-Men on Twitter. Oh, no, really? What happened there? God, somebody was like, you know, the X-Men 97 anime series is about to launch. And someone's like, I can't believe the X-Men have gone woke. Oh, shut up. Do they understand, okay, look, even if I didn't like those themes, let's say, if you have any understanding of the history of the X-Men, the comic, at all, you'll know that that thing is such an allegory for so many social issues.

Like, give me a break, you lazy ass, have they read a con? Oh, it makes one to pin them down and kick them in the nuts. None of those people who are saying those things have ever read X-Men, same way with people who are the other. big one this weekend was Starship Troopers. If you didn't understand that the people who are the bad guys were, you know, symbolism for fascism and Nazi

and you missed the point of Starship Troopers, but nope, over the heads of so many people. It's right there in Neil Patrick Harris's outfit for Pete Sagan. Yeah, they missed the entire boat on that. Here's the, you know what you've just done, Stephen, I should thank you. You've just reminding me why my fast away from any kind of public discourse has been good for me.

Oh, yeah. This is day seven, by the way, day seven of this, and I have not seen any of that kerfuffle and I'm happy. Yeah, no, I did that a lot last year and it was great for my mental health. Yeah. And then, um, you know, just the fact when Elon shut down tweet deck, that had to be one of the best things in the world to happen. It was, uh, for you final nail in the coffin, right? Basically. Oh, yeah, because it was up all the time and all I could see was yeah, you know, S post after S post. Yeah. By the way, there's a, if you like to tweet that back in the day and you're using blue sky they have a new thing called blue it's just blue dot deck and uh works the same

or no is it blue dot blue sorry i got backwards uh deck dot blue is basically tweet deck for blue sky so depends on your yeah i'm not doing it either but it's there if you want it i go in for my i go in for my daily dive of copy and paste across all socials and that's it yep same yeah you and i are doing very similar stuff it really works for me and i every once while accidentally catch like a whiff of something that's going on. I'm like, I don't miss this shit at all. Yeah, no, you guys, stay away from the X-Men is woke and Starship Troopers is not fascist. I'm so glad I missed that. It is like the dumbest dumb. Yeah, it's pretty stupid. Well, good news. That all is stuff we can avoid. But here's what we can't avoid. Mad Cave Studios, Nabs, kid-friendly Disney deal. And you're saying this

is good for me. Why? Why do you think this is good for me and my grandpa status? Again, congratulations, Scott. This is what, Grandpa third? Third time. Third for you. And so as young Van starts to progress, I don't know, I know he's probably still in his bluey stage. But eventually he's going to discover the greatness that is Phineas and Furb and Inside Out and all of those kinds of things. Mad Cave Studios, child, or their kid imprint, paper cuts, which does a lot of really good kid-friendly comics. They have signed a deal with Disney where they will start doing some Disney television shows and movies in comic book form.

So we've got Enkanto and Turning Red and Phineas and Ferb and the new adventures of Enkanto, Frozen, Disney fairies, 101 Dalmatians. They're all getting comic book treatments in May, starting in May of this year. Some free comic book day stuff coming up for that. So this is a chance for you to get your young grandson into the world of comic books. And what better way to do it than through Disney comics? He'd probably love it. He's hit this new stage where he loves to draw a concert. and the stuff he's drawing is weird as hell this is what you five five year old art is the best art it's

amazing oh yeah because they've somehow they tap into something primal and and when it's gone you almost don't get it back like Carter barely got it back but when she was five she was doing stuff that blew our minds and then you turn six or seven you kind of lose it yeah there's something about it looking at the art from my kids when they were five and it's like oh yeah that's the cave paintings from France oh it's crazy some of it's so weird and it's so like an energetic and almost emotional. It's just crazy stuff. Anyways, really into that. And he's into reading way more. He's reading at a higher level in his classmates. So that's good. And so he is probably as prepped for this as he'll ever be. So I'm

kind of excited. I would definitely get him a Phineas and Ferb comic book. Because I think that that is right up his alley if he likes to use his imagination a lot. Because that's all Phineas and Furb do, as they use their imagination to do something exciting besides just sit around and do nothing all day. Yeah. I mean, I like Phineas and Furb. although I'd like to use my imagination and wonder what that one character is it I don't know if it's Phineas or Ferb would look like without a triangle head because I freaking hate that design drives me crazy that style but whatever it's funny it's still a cute cartoon that's Phineas you're right um he already loves Encanto so you know yeah get him that

too I think that's a comic books things for people to look forward to this week yeah very nice look if you're a comic oh and you guys had mentioned you guys mentioned for comic book day. It's always the first Saturday in May. Yeah. Yeah. So if you guys are looking for free comic books, don't forget to go support your local comic shop. They are fewer and fewer in number these days, but you can go get some free comic books coming up

in just about two months. Yeah. It's not too far off, everybody. Let's see, May. First weekend in May is the fourth, I want to say. That's so we've got to be with you. Great. Wonderful. Let's have those two things at once, everyone. It's happened so many times before.

Yeah, that's true. Exactly. Well, this is all good. As always, Steven, major spoilers.com is a great destination for anyone looking for their comic book fix. Is there anything going on right now in the network you want people to know about it? And if you are really itching for your comic book fix and you want to learn a little bit about the comic book history, then check out the major spoilers podcast two-parter about the DC implosion and the DC explosion from the 1970s. It will let you in and give you a lot of insight to where the publishing industry is now when you understand

what was happening back back in the day. So you can find that over at major spoilers.com. That sounds great. Look at you guys. All right. Well, what if it's, I don't know, what if it's dry out? Then what? What do I do that?

Well, Brian already stole my thing. Sorry. Don't, not you, the other Brian. That's right. It was done away. Yeah, good. All right. Yeah.

Take that. Just remember, if you stay too hydrated, you're going to have to pee. Oh, that is. That's sounded nice. No, you. No, you. great you can have to pee what's that

no you what's that excellent well done thank you Stephen always good having him on we have a we have a fake high school

names follow up Brian this was a big part was it half asses or maybe it was Ted Pooley Feud we talked about right like Bayside and Riverdale and stuff like that

yeah okay we got a call about that here it is hey guys I'm calling about the Ted Pooey feud the other day on the Fob Dylan episode, and you asked the question name a fictional high school, a well-known fictional high school. And you said Sandimus High. You see, my dad

taught at Sandemus High for many, many years. He started the art department out there. But it got this weird question about, it's what the padpole says anyway. But it got this weird question about like what is fiction because if you wrap something nonfiction inside a fictional rapper then i think that's it he got off that's where he got cut off then the the CIA cut him off yeah that was the last we ever heard from that guy i decided to play it anyway because i i kind need to know where he was headed with that you know what no that totally makes sense i probably should have worded the question differently because name of fame name a high school from a piece of fiction or famous high school from a piece of fiction.

Yeah, that works. But that's a really good point. That, yeah, of course, there's a San Demas City. So, of course, there would be a San Demas High School. There's probably a dozen Riverdale high schools in the U.S. that are real. Yeah. Probably a Bayside somewhere. Yeah.

Do you know if, was that Tony Soprano in that call, by the way? I'm just curious. It sounded a little like him, didn't he? Just the way it ended. Do you, oh, I see. Don't stop. And then silence. for 10 minutes.

Right, exactly. I was going to ask you, oh, do you have any recollection whether or not the 3 o'clock high school was used? I love that movie. Because that movie's great. Was that in our list or no? Did anyone pick that? No, I'm sure. I'm sure they didn't because who can think of what the high school was in 3 o'clock high?

Yeah, the only reason it pops in my head is it was filmed at Ogden High here. Oh, really? And so, you know, all of us in 1985 were freaking out because we thought, yeah, it's filmed here in Utah, blah, blah, blah. But then I don't remember the name of the name of the. the school that they called it they called it something other than augen yeah what was it i'm looking to see if uh was it oaken maybe it was it was it was it was meek high school because the first line in the uh wikipedia page is meek high school jerry mitch so it's apparently meek high school i don't like it was it not kidding i'm totally not really it's not weaver weaver high school weaver

weaver that's interesting they could have said weber and it would have been close because weeber's over there is there another weber nearby yeah kind of like that weber cook's guy that was uh part the Weber State thing that ended up being a molester and we played his audio on here. Do you remember that whole thing? He was the guy that was like, I put the stuff into the thing or whatever. Dump the rice onto the thing, yeah. Yeah, I think he's still in prison that guy. Oh, geez.

Yeah, he was a problem. Yeah, Jeffrey Tambor. I forgot about this movie. I need to watch it again. Philip Baker Hall. Oh, here he is right here. Dump the rice into the thing. Yeah.

That guy was great. Paul Feig. He was terrible. Paul Feed was in that. Yeah. Eardley Smith, Mitch Pellegey. We talked about Skinner, Detective Sir, I'm sorry,

FBI Director Skinner. FBI Director Skinner. Yeah, he was great. He was also in, he flies the Daedalus and Stargate Atlantis. Really? Okay. Mitch Pallegger dude, too.

Was he? Yeah, the, the uh because wasn't that chris carter or no was it but he was the guy that got not not shocker in the marvel comic or i guess we had a mccu shocker oh no we have it's like a side character in the first um oh right tom holland uh but he was uh that like the dude who goes in the electric chair and then oh shocker shocker the movie yeah shocker the movie yeah the film called shocker and that was made that was i think that was a Wes Craven joint, wasn't it? West Craven, yes. Yeah, it is

West Craven. Oh, he's the shocker. He's the actual shocker. He's the actual shocker dude. Oh, shit. Now the question for Scott, have we watched Shocker for FilmSack? No, we have not. If we have, I'll be embarrassed to no end,

but I'm pretty sure we haven't. I think we have. Have we? Maybe not. No, I guess not. We should. I thought we did. because I've never seen in it I mean I thought I've seen it and the only reason I would have seen it would have been for this

but what's the one where they blow up what's the one where their faces blow up on TV that's scanners scanners that's probably what I'm thinking of and we did watch that we need to throw a shocker in the list Randy if you're listening actually I can do it myself

yeah it's probably in the let's take a look and see if it's already in the must see list it probably is yeah we have a list of as soon as this thing becomes available. Just do a second.

Oh, no, not in our list, believe it or not. I'm adding it to the bottom here. What? Shocker. I know. That's how surprised I am. Shocker. It's currently streaming on nothing. Oh.

You have to rent it. But I'd rent it. Yeah. I don't think I've ever seen it. I think I just knew about it. That was one of those famous like cassette tape you would see in a blockbuster. Yeah, totally. You were like, ooh, would my mom let me watch this?

Probably not. Since we've got Shutter Island in the list, I'm going to replace Shutter Island with Shocker in the must-see list because that's about where it would be alphabetically. I like it. Cool. That's it for that. Hey, quick note, Carter and I do this Monday show thing on Mondays now, obviously, but we're doing it late tonight because she's at a friend's overnight.

They're doing what they call Galentine's Day, where all of them do do a bunch of stuff. I guess women do this. It's like Friendsgiving. Yeah, same idea. But they're a bunch of single, all the single ladies. They're all getting together and they're all hanging out. Well, if you like it, then you should have put a ring on it. That's what I thought.

But she's going to go like thrift shopping, do all this weird stuff today. Anyway, that means she's going to be home late. So we're starting that show. It's normally at 7. We're going to do it at 9 p.m. So for an hour from 9 to 10 p.m. Mountain time. It's 11 p.m. for you, weirdos on the East Coast.

And we'll be live, which means we can take your live text and that kind of stuff. if you guys want to come and hang out, please do. That'll do it for us. Big thanks to everybody for listening.
