Peggy, please. We'll have some cheese when you can. The morning stream, I live, I love, I slay, and I, I am content. The everybody, welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for March 13th, 2024. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian of it. How are you doing, Scott?

I'm good. I still haven't messed up the year. I'm very proud of that. I've gotten it right. Very, very proud. I'm impressed. I definitely would have thought that three and a half months in it would have happened. Two and a half months in it would have happened.

Yeah. By now would be about the time I expect that I would have fouled it up by now. But no. I've kept it all on track. Fem face Johnson maintains his street. Thumb face Johnson, I like to say. Fum face. Ah, baby face, John.

Let's pretend you're a professional boxer from the 1970s. Babyface Johnson. There you go. If I had the stamina. In this corner. I don't have the strength, nor with the stamina. 200 pounds. Babyface Johnson.

240. Correction. 240. Oh, 240. 240. Actually, I'm probably lower than that now. Probably 230. I remember when I was 240.

I'm probably closer to 230 now, but it's been a bit. I'm not checking scale all the time, but I'm probably closer to 230. Oh, I'm done checking scale daily now. I'm back on food logging after gaining about, um, What did I say, eight pounds since I got off Noom and tracking food. It's like, ah, I plateaued with Noom. I'm not losing any more weight. I'll just stop there.

And then it's like, boom. Yeah, creeps back up. Oh, I'm not logging in the crap I eat. I'm not paying any attention to it. Guess what? Yeah. That's how it works. Speaking of eating.

Yes. We got a correction from Corey in Indiana. And so we're going to read it. I don't know if it's not really a correction. He says this. He says, this is for TMS. High sausage and bacon. Just a quick text from a third shift sterile processing technician.

I do, in fact, eat lunch at 2 a.m. Love the show, though, Corey. So this was all coming from your having to go to the airport at 2 a.m. Yes, right. Nothing's good at 2 a.m. No, nothing's good at 2 a.m. And you shouldn't have to eat lunch. Yeah, it sounds like, you know, if you're working in a clean room, like I don't know.

Yeah, but what is in the sterile? What are you processing that has to be sterile? Yeah. There's a noun missing from third shift sterile processing technician. Sterell processing. Could be hospital, could be... Exactly. Dildos.

It could be test tubes. It could be... Sure. Some science thing, science adjacent job. I don't know. But yeah, we'd like more information, Corey. We'd like to learn more about you and your job and your career and how that's going for. And what it's like to eat at 2 a.m.

That seems like a real bad scene to me. I wouldn't want to do it. if you're acclimated and your whole you know you're sleeping during the day all that stuff's fine plenty of people do it but it sounds so hard to me i don't know if i couldn't do it other it would absolutely wreck any sort of social life because you'd be you'd be awake when everybody you you want to hang out with is asleep and vice versa yeah and how do you have like if you have a significant other and say you're married or something do you guys just pass in the night do you just barely know each other anymore like how does that work you know stephanie inopets and

Kyle, he, I don't know if it's still the case, pretty sure it's still the case. He has an overnight job and she just usually like attunes her schedule to his and stays up while he's at work. Then he comes home, they go to sleep and that sort of things. Well, that wouldn't be bad. Yeah, if you had the, if you had the choice to do that, I suppose, but like if you've got somebody who's like, I don't know, a lawyer in the daytime and you're a nighttime technician guy. Yeah, you can't do it. Yeah, exactly. There's no overnight lawyering. yeah that seems really hard even when your weekends come up like how do you how do you line up it just seems hard so grats to you corey we hope it's going all right and that uh everything in indiana is nice and sterile

all right that's right at least it is during the third shift yeah that's right uh also a quick fun find i wanted to share with you um i had on the back in it just on the back in the background while i was getting work done yesterday i had some uh king of the hill playing in fact you heard a little clip this morning. He did, yeah. I always capture a few things. Damn it. Oh.

Anyway, I found William H. Macy, Mr. Lunderguard era, non-credited appearance on the King of the Hill. Oh, really? Yeah. Like a little uncredited cameo deal. Yeah, and it's sort of been right around the time

Fargo would have happened. So it'd have been about 96, 97, and here is this. Now, you tell, now, the only reason I think this is him is because I think this is him. I didn't get confirmation. So Brian, you can tell me if you think this is not him, but I'm pretty sure William H. Macy is this doctor guy talking about the infertility, his small urethra that Hank had to deal with before he had Bobby. So here's

your clip. Peggy, no, this is not your fault. He's right, Mrs. Hill. There's no point in blaming yourself. It's Hank's fault. What? You were born with a narrow urethra and years of chronic tension have only made it worse. I really don't think you'll ever have children. But that's him, right? That's him. God, it sure sounds like him. I mean, it sounds like William Macy's still doing like a little bit of a voice.

Oh, yeah, he's definitely, like nasalizing his voice a little bit more. But my God, that sounds like. It's got to be him. Did you Google and just see if he ever did like an uncredited candidate? No, I never followed up. I should have because I could probably, it's probably out there in public information at this point. I watched for the credits of the episode and it never said his name. so I thought, oh, wow, that's weird.

He still would have been, you know, he was on E.R. then, had a regular gig. He was in charge. Before he became shameless. Yeah, before all that stuff. Yeah, before the shoveler. Was it before he married the college admissions, a real housewives of Listeria Lane lady? Oh, I forgot that was. He was all up in that.

That's still, I mean, they're married still, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're still married. Did she go to jail? I can't remember how that turned out. Oh, did she? I think she did. I don't remember.

Let's see. Felicity Huffman, that's who it is. Yeah. She, uh, let's see. I can tell you real quick here. Yeah. Huffman arrested for involvement in 2019 nationwide college entrance exam. Cheating scandal.

Charge of conspiracy, community fraud, honest services, mail fraud. 11 days in jail. Yeah. In 2019. There it is. $30,000 fine, 250 hours worth of community service, and then 11 days in jail. yep they're still together he's stuck with her so I think I could do 11 days in jail

I think I could it depends on the kind of jail you know well sure like is this like like the meat grinder the rock yeah do I have to go yeah to go deal with the what do they call them in Shawshank

the lady not the ladies um what were they the sisters do you have to deal with the sisters in the basement like all that No, you don't have to. Not if you're only going for 11 days, no. All right.

As long as that's the case, I could probably make it and be all right. Yeah. I'm trying to think if there's anything I've ever done or gotten away with that would require 11 days in jail. And I don't have anything cool like that in my life. I don't think so, no. No. I don't know. I'm so boring.

It's like the other day I'm playing. You're law abiding. I don't think that makes it boring. I think there's like, you know, I'm so boring. I never committed vehicular manslaughter, you know? Yeah. I'm just, well, on Monday, when I got done with the show with Carter, we had a live Discord running and I forgot to turn it off. And so I'm just editing and editing and stuff.

And I decide to finish, what's it called? Poor things, because I didn't finish it yet. Oh, yeah. I'm like another half an hour or something. Did you accidentally stream out a? Just audio from it. And then so everybody's sending me like, you know, messages and I didn't see them yet saying, hey, you're still streaming. They're all panicking.

And I was like, no, you guys don't need to pant. It's fine. This isn't, and then I realized, oh, they, you know, they might think I'm watching something weird because this is a weird movie with a lot of weird shit going on in it, poor things. And so I said, I'm like, okay, yeah, I'll turn it off. But that's not even exciting. This is just a freaking Oscar movie I happen to be watching. It wasn't like I had this any top secret bullshit or I wasn't watching like horse porn or anything like that. It was just the rest of a movie.

Anyway Oh, Brian's frozen Did we lose Brian? Oh, we lost everybody What happened? No internet? Oh, that's not good That's not good

Hold on Oh, geez All right, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, what's going on on here? I'll resume Yeah, we got dumped with snow I think that was what that is. Oh, yeah, it's coming over the mountains for us. Yeah, we've got, we're expecting six to 18 inches.

That's the range they're giving us. By the way, Ixnay on the unfessing K of Imingstray or Paising's way. Why? What is that? Why? Does it cut you off, man, right after you're in the middle of you talking about. Oh, I see. Yeah, maybe that's it.

The conspiracy lives. One of the brothers like snipped your cord right there. Yeah, that was weird. It was like, uh, that was very sudden drop in, and, in that ISP,

just crashed. Hope that doesn't last all day. You're like frozen, like I'm looking at Zoom, you're like, it's always when, and you were like that too, you had your glasses up

on your forehead. Well, you still haven't there. But you were going like this. Oh, really? Like, uh. And I think I asked a question

and you just didn't move. You just went like that. I wonder how long goes, how long we were sitting there. That was good, though, because, uh,

You know, that's how that's supposed to work. I hit the little switch. It's supposed to flip over, and it did. Yeah, there we go. Nice job with the dual ISP. I don't like testing it. I don't like paying for it, but when I need it, it's nice. It's nice.

Yeah, for sure. Anyway, we're back. That's why we have the Luxor as a backup hotel for TMS Vegas just in case anything goes wrong. Oh, yeah, of course. You know, I like the Luxor, but last time I was there, it was kind of dirty. Was that? Yeah. What's going on?

What's going on with that? I've had good and bad Luxor. You know what? I'll say I had more good than bad at the Luxor. Luxor for a while was one of those not Excalibur level cheap, but not Mandalay Bay expensive, right? And it's funny because it sits right between those two hotels on the strip, and so it's kind of like literally between those two hotels

and price-wise between those two hotels. Yeah. And stayed there with my buddy Don one time for trivia championships that were out there. And that was when he and I had a lot of fun with Medzula at this place called Treasures, I think it was. But that's a story for another time. That's a story for when we're drinking in the high roller come April 28th or whenever it is. I like the idea. You can only tell that story if you're in an enclosed space where no one can leave.

with no, and you will have to put your phones in a locked zipper bag, and I'll give them to you after, because you cannot record this. I like it. But we stayed in, we got one of those rooms that's a corner

in, on the, you know, on the angled part of the hotel, the pyramid. And right by the, and I would constantly, like, go to look out the window and misjudge how sharp of an angle it was and always hit my head constantly like oh let me see what's going off the mandalay bay oh yeah or i guess

here's the way you do that with uh with audio oh let's see what's going with the mandalay bay oh with the yeah there we go that's uh i can't do you got too good of a cover on that thing it doesn't make a nice i do it's way nice padding look at that i can tap on you can barely hear it's not bad um but it also had a bathtub in the room like for sexy time right which of course donna and i weren't you're going to be having any sexy time in the room. But if it's a room with two beds, why would you have a bathtub in there for sexy time? Who's saying, all right, well, I'm going to, I'm going there with another couple or going there as a guy's trip, golfing trip. Hey, Bill, you might if I strip down and take a bath right here next to your bed?

Is that cool? Yeah, that's a little weird. There's only two scenarios that work. You got two couples that are into the swing and whatever. That's fine. Live how you want to live. There's that option, or it's single couple who can't sleep because the other one's always kicking and taking covers and all that. Right. They do different beds. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. Um, we had one of these in St. George once, and it was nice because that thing was like your own personal freaking hot tub right there in the room. Oh, man. See, if you're, if you're, you know, with your significant other, your partner, your wife, your girlfriend, whoever, perfect, perfect kind of thing. Yeah. Also, if you go out for the day,

to go gamble or whatever, maybe don't leave the water running in the tub because then it drips down into the people's room underneath you, i.e. me and Don's room. We came back to find water coming down right above our bathtub. It's like, oh, son of a bitch. And that sucks. Yeah, I don't trust any of that. Anything that's on a higher floor and then you got a giant body of water on that floor, I don't trust it. And I realize that's what plumbing is and plumbing is like, But it's all, like, connected and designed to be in sort of a chain. They're all in the same general location. Like, we can do that.

But when you got a big old body of water hanging out in the middle of the room and there are people below you, you're asking for, you're asking for trouble. And you're in a big fake pyramid. I mean, come on. We're all going to die in there. We are going to go to that big, fake pyramid on the 30th. We are. And that's a nice new thing they put in there. It is.

Yeah. And from all accounts, it is a blast. Yeah. Get your tickets now. Apparently they're going quick. Get your tickets now. Yeah, that place apparently is doing really well and filling up. And Tanner reminded me during D&D the other night. Get your tickets, Brian. And so. One final thing before we get to our game. Weird thing happened last night. So I subscribe to YouTube premium, which is my favorite subscription service right now. And the reason that is, is A, it gets spread all the commercials. But B, it just really enhances the service. And I get the YouTube. music for free and I get all this stuff. I really like it. It's actually great. Here's the problem though. Sometimes I'll search for a thing. Like last night I wanted just some nice brown noise, not white noise, too high pitch for me. Pink noise, same problem. Brown noise, like a deeper, like a lower kind of burr kind of thing. And I did that because the wind was blown really hard

last night for the storm and I just can't sleep when I hear that. So it's like, you know what, let's get a little brown noise. So I find an 11 hour brown noise thing. there are tons of these all right you go to youtube and search forum tons of these 10 hours long various uh sleep things sometimes it's ambient music birds chair whatever you want it's all there you can get it 10 hours of it you just turn it on play it'll play all night normally not a problem because i don't have any commercials i pay for premium it's fine it just runs and all night all i hear is or whatever yeah i'm playing some right now i know if it's loud enough but i can kind of hear yeah here it's a little lower it's like a deeper kind of more yeah it's nice yeah it's good

it's almost like you're on an airplane yeah it's a bit like that or being on the enterprise or something it's kind of get that vibe there's also a 10 hour enterprise thing which i mean try sometimes that's the only problem is they get that beep sound in there like like enterprise d is way better but it also has beeps so i don't know anyway so i'm blisting this thing it's brown noise 10 hours long five hours into it basically i got punked and i was going to go go to my history find this and play it but somebody hidden right in the center five hours into this 10 hour run of brown noise uh-huh had a voice that goes like this so i wake up to this in the middle of that this is the ah holiest move ever i can't wait to hear what yeah so all night it's just and then

right there at the five-hour mark i hear like that like the loudest like wake you up scream you've ever heard oh my god all right so note to note to people doing this check the comments because i'll bet if you look at the comments there's probably like in all caps don't use this video yeah or if they turn off comments that's your sign that they're trying to avoid being caught so a couple of things to watch for there if there are comments and nobody mentions it you're safe you're good uh but that one geez wow it's pissed what a crappy thing to do I was so mad. And what's hilarious to me is all five front hours and everything passed the screen

because I scrubbed ahead, great, perfectly. Totally fine. They only do it the once and it's just... Yeah. They just did it to piss, you know, just it's a troll move and it worked. It really is. Oh, my God. So anyway, you almost think they should like, go to such and such.

com. Enter in your credit card. your social security number is repeat after me of your first pet yeah yeah that's the thing stokes squirrel it wasn't even an ad it was just some guy screaming i don't have ads i pay for premium so there's no ads yeah yeah but it was really annoying and uh i learned a lesson better better sleep app i'm telling you right here better sleep app deep brown noise green noise white noise pink noise blue noise oh the hell happen. Hold on. That was weird. You just called for recommendals. Oh, I know why. I was in the wrong I was in the wrong group. You said that link to. Yeah, being a dumb ass. I was trying to add

done away and I grabbed the wrong group and then hit the wrong button. Anyway. So do you hear me? Yeah, did you hear all these different noise colors? There's tons in here. You got as far as pink and then you and then I didn't hear anything else after pink. Oh, uh, pink, blue, gray, violet. layered brown noise air conditioner kitchen hood fan brown noise spaceship Niagara Falls an airplane here's here's some brown noise oh man that's the brown note I just pooped my pants that's not good at all well that's a good timing then join Brian done away with us now as we do some

detachably feud on a Wednesday hi Brian what are you doing what's going on what's your favorite color of noise Brian nothing nothing much Yoda Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Oh, hi. Hi, I was talking backwards. Why was I doing that? That doesn't make any sense.

My favorite color note has to be pink. Oh, you like the pink? I don't like the pink noise. Pink noise. It's too high-pitched for me. Yeah, I feel like I'm, I feel like I got tinnitus when I hear pink noise. And I know there are people who like it. Like, I don't want to, I'm not poo-pooing anybody, but like, here's an example of it.

I'll play a bit. Oh, this is pink. What is this? Oh, that is pink. Oh, it's warm, it's warm pink noise, they say. Oh, I like warm pink. Maybe that's what I think. Maybe that's probably what it's called.

Yeah, because I almost fell asleep when you started playing that, like, some kind of bird with a, you know, a hood of his head. Yeah. This is regular pink. Yeah. See, that's too much. Yeah, yeah, well, I'm warm pink. That's like waterfall pink noise. Yeah, I don't like that.

Yeah, that better sleep app has like all those noises, but then that's the one that also has the, hello. You are listening to it here. How aggressive. What an aggressive app. Better sleep. Yep. Get off me, man. Better sleep.

You know, now that you say it, oh my gosh, that is kind of what it's like, right? A little bit. Here, let's give you a little bit of this business. This is fun. All right. What do you got? No, no. No, screw those birds and goats?

What is that? Sheep on this one. What are you guys about to talk? We're about to hear from the shepherd that... Hello, friend. Warm greetings. Have you come a long way to get here today? You sleep to this?

I do. I fall asleep within the first few seconds to that. Jesus. Like, it's this guy in the highlands who's... Oh, you're a shepherd in a previous life or something. He's a shepherd and this one, he says, well, I have lots of sheep. Let's count them. One, two, three.

He goes to elementary school of sleep techniques. I got you. It just counts sheep and that put me right to sleep last night. It was so, so like you zonked right out and worked perfectly. That's hilarious to me. Maybe you're reincarnated from a sheep. You never know. Well, let's find out who's on the line with us.

Hey, Katrina, welcome back to the show. You were the third caller. How are you? Hey, I'm all right. How are you guys doing? I'm doing great. Speaking of Vegas. Yeah.

Can you tell them, though, who we're excited to see in Vegas. in about a month and a half. Yay. Are you going to be there? You're going to be there, right? You're not going to be out of town or anything weird, right? No, I should be there. Awesome.

Are you going to stay in Parumph? Or are you going to come stay at the plaza with us? I'm not sure yet. Probably going to still stay in Pramph, though. Look, cheaper. It's also such a great day. It's my 20th anniversary this year, so we're playing a trip somewhere, so we don't want to use up our time in Vegas and, you know. I don't blame you.

I don't blame you at all. Congratulations, though. 20's a big deal. Well, it's good to have you here. You're going to participate today with our little game. Brian, do you want to explain what it is and what Katie might win and all that? I mean, do I want to? No, but I will do it anyway. It's time to play the tadpulley feud. I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics. Scott and Brian have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Katie, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you get a prize package. Well, that includes Aragami 2 and O-TX-O from Steam. Arragami is awesome. Yeah, it's a really cool. Yeah, really cool game. That's a little first-person

Ninja thing, right? Yeah. Be more stealthy. First person is? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it is. It's third person, right? It's third person, yeah. You see your guy running around.

It's very good. Very good little stealth game. Yeah. Very cool. And then O-T-X-O, which I do. don't know anything about. I don't know what Oxto is. The big thanks to Wesla for submitting these.

Thanks, Wesley. But to win them, you need to play. To play, we need a topic and play have a topic. We need to put your hands on your buzzers and give us your best answer to this. We ask 457 tadpoolers. What is the worst Nick Cage movie? Brian. 9mm, 8 millimeter.

Wait, wait, wait, it's 8 millimeter. How many? It could be a final answer, Brian. How many millimeters? How many millimeters? Going to take it to eight millimeter, baby. All right. Show me eight millimeter.

Number eight on the board. Seven answers will beat it. Um, vampire's kiss. Show me vampires kiss. That's good. Yeah. Number five. Scott has the control of the board.

He also gets Katie as a partner to help him. What's the score now, Ibbett? The score is currently five to, Scott Johnson with five Scott and Katie with five, Brian with eight. All right. I like our chances, Katie. There's a lot of bad Nick Cage moves. I will say that

if there were any sequels in the top or in the bottom like in the list that did make it onto the board, I did combine them. Okay. All right. If there are any. If there are any in the top ten, they'd be combined but I did combine ones in the it's a huge list.

I'm kind of amazed at how there's so many movies and it's so There really are, like 60 Nicholas Cage movies that people came up with. Yeah. Well, it turns out if you did, if you break them down, he's got ones that people like less than the ones they like a lot. Like he's got some great movies and then he's got a lot of shit. And then he's got some not so great movies. Thank you, Professor.

You're welcome. Thanks for Nick explaining that. Cage explaining. Katie, how do you feel about Wicker Man on there? That's what I was thinking. Yeah, it feels like a number one, probably. Yeah. All right.

Show me the bees, no, not the bees. Yeah. Number one answer on the board. Good. Six for Scott Johnson now. All right. Katie. What else?

What else jumps to your mind for Nick Cage, bad films? There's so many. I don't. It's as hard to parse. It is because it's so subjective, too. Mm-hmm. yeah like i know people who loved that thing where it's the animatronic robot deal i forgot oh i love that one the wonderland one wonder world or whatever people like that some people

like that some people really hate it so it's like i don't know who point them out to me i'm gonna see you i'm pointing myself you just you right i do not like that i thought that movie was bad i do not like that movie either i do want the pinball machine but i do not like that movie yeah that movie is not good um oh gosh let's think here how about we say oh my gosh there's so many how do you choose how do you know what how do you choose what the uh just reach in there yeah just reach in there and pick a stinker come about how about ghost writer how you feel about that oh man that hurts oh i don't know you don't think that's there you know it probably is i just don't know the top ten oh i would yeah i don't know if i would but i'm trying to you know i'm thinking like

it is a cage film uh 17 on the list uh what am i thinking of what's that one i'm thinking of with uh so people liked sorcerer's apprentice more than they liked eight milady what was the i can't remember that one all what was the jeff what was the jeff bridge's movie where he played like a, he was like a Gandalf-like guy. Anyone remember what that was? Tron? No. No.

It was like a, it was a fantasy movie. Did a really weird voice. We saw it on film sack. Man, they really held the shire together, man. We saw it on film sack and we really disliked it. And I cannot remember the name of it. All right.

Well, whatever. That's not important here. Brian, your turn. You can do it. Yeah, four or five answers still on the board to choose from. So many points you have. from, but I got to say, I got to say, do people remember? See, some of the bad ones are almost forgettable, and that's the ones I don't like

the most, but they're so forgettable. I'm going to go, darn it with snake eyes. Snake eyes. That's a De Palma movie, I think. Yeah. Yeah, there was a whole, there was a string of cage movies that I was like, I don't know. Not my favorite. All right.

And that was one of them. Okay. Cool. All right. Show me snake eyes. Oh, I rolled some steak eyes. Amazingly, not even on the list. And it should be because that is, oh, I'm sorry, I take you back.

I take you back number 16. There it is right there. Okay. Okay, good. Yeah. I was looking too low in the list. Apparently was closer to the top. Okay.

Keep going. You're good. You're doing good. Ryan. Oh, thanks, man. So I got an X and I get to keep going. Yeah, you get to keep going. You get to keep going.

Scott, maybe you guys get to give an answer to. I thought he was still talking. Let's do. Do you want to? What about the lottery movie? Which one? Oh, yeah.

Lottery movie. Oh, I don't think I've seen it. You, that's what it was. I never saw it. Is it probably terrible? You tell you about cop gives waitress million dollar tip? Yeah. Let's do it.

I always call that waitress, even though I know it's not waitress. right yeah that's a much better film waitress by the way all right show me it could happen to you like all movies it could happen to you that's a long pause between when I hit that button and finally buzzed um that one

did that one even make the list let's see here no nope not even in the list amazingly I had I didn't know it was even a Nick Cage movie I'd heard of it but yeah All right. Done away.

What do you got, man? I have another one, but I thought it was pretty good. But I can't remember how people felt about it. But we did it on Film Sack. And it wasn't that long ago. It was last year? Lord of War. Oh, that's a good movie, though.

Yeah. Is it? It's pretty good. I mean, but the Tadpool think it's good. Yeah, that's the question. Critically, it was one of his probably a little better, but did we really like it?

I mean, that's the question. Was it pagey enough for us? I don't know. Could he eat a peach for hours? We'll have to find out. Yeah, I'm going to Yeah, I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking with it. I'm locking in. Final answer. Show me, Lord

of War. Oh, come all. Oh, your second strike. Lord of War on the list, but low, it is tied for 41st, 41st place. That's why I get for trying to guess what the tadpool likes or doesn't like. Score still hanging at 15 for Scott and Katie.

I'm eight. I'm going to guess the left behind one, the Rapture one. Oh, yeah. Sure, sure. Oh, no. How do I get left behind? Yeah. Show me left behind.

There we go. It's the way up there. Four more points. Number four. Number four, giving you guys 19. Okay. Oh. I hope the rock is on there just to piss got off.

I know it's not, but I really hope it was. One of the worst ones I saw was this movie called Rage, but I don't know if anyone saw it because it was like a very, it may have even been straight to streaming, straight to video thing. See, that's the thing. Like, you don't know whether, because it's tadpool. Like, the general population probably would have a different list, but because the tadpole knows deeper cuts of these Nick Cage movies.

Yeah, you don't know which way to go. Yeah. Uh, boy, um, hmm. Is that the one where he's, that the driving one where he's pissed off all the time, driving? What am I thinking of? Is it driven? Wasn't there an angry movie where Nicholas K. drives the whole time called something?

Is that not rage? What is it? Is there another one? I thought that was rage. It's not rage? What is it? Oh, drive angry. Drive angry.

That's it. Drive angry. Oh, man. Those are two movies. I thought those were the same movie. I don't know why I thought it. I've seen rage and I thought it was also kind of a road rage thing. Maybe I mixed the two up.

I don't know. Katie, what do you like? What do you want? I don't know. Everything I've suggested so far hasn't been on there. Oh, man. Now that I know there's two of those, drive angry and rage. Let's do drive angry.

I don't know. I think that's the one I saw. I was more about a car thing or something. All right. Let's do that. You guys are hanging on your third strike here. Show me drive angry. Oh, no.

Drive angry. Not in the top 10. Number 18, by the way. You guys found 16, 17, and 18. Too bad I can't give you points for those. Nice. But, no, still four answers. left on the board. Brian, you're

trailing by 11 points. All I need is one bad answer. Well, no, you'd need two to have a chance of... So even if I got the number 10th place, I would still need two? Yeah, because you're trailing by 11 points. Yeah. I don't... Okay, don't yell at me by the math.

Okay. I'm just asking a question. You get the number 10 answer. You'll be trailing by one point. One point. One point. All right. All right. Let's see. um oh i'm trying to think let's see we got wikamian ghost

writer left behind vampires kiss season of the witch i've not seen none of his really old weird shit up there like uh well the vampires kiss I was okay um everybody loves face off

I don't worry about yelling out things now because they can't win they can't they can't steal it they don't have the chat room doesn't have any strikes so oh the chat room that's a good idea yeah you know him if you want to. I see. I see Scott is in there too doing some. Okay. Well, it's because I got three strikes. I got, I got nothing left. Okay. Yeah. I'm all. I'm all out. Yeah. Wonderland should be there. Okay. Yeah, that's not a bad idea. And that would add insult or injury because

you thought about going with it, but you didn't. So that's a double whammy. Yeah, I'm going with that Five Nights at Freddy's Wonderland crap. All right. Show me five nights at Willies. I like that pinball machine a lot. No. Number nine. And the gap closes up. Now, guess what? You still are trailing by two, Brian. So I still need another one. That's what you're saying?

Any one of these answers will give it to you. And then it's up to you to fill out the board so that, so he can't you still get for prizes. Right, right, right. For people at home, we are currently sitting at 19 to 17. That's where we're at. Right. And I have 17. This guy has 19.

That's what he's saying. Yeah. And you can either clear the board. You either win here or you clear the board. and if you clear the board, Katie wins. I don't see anybody who mentioned it yet, but I really didn't like that knowing movie. I almost thought that was the same as left behind,

but with more aliens. I never saw that. I don't even know what that is. Knowing? Oh, that's bad because people don't know. Okay, so you didn't know that one. So good. That's a good.

It wouldn't Renfeld, but that was good. Everybody liked Renfeld, right? So how about that weird? Oh, my gosh. three spots. How about that weird? No one heard about mom and dad. If I said mom and dad right now, has any of you all seen mom and dad? No. I've seen my mom and dad

in a long time. Actually, I saw my mom when I picked her from the airport. It's been a while for dad. It's Christmas. I like that one. Fine. Then we'll just go with, oh, I'm going to chat room. Do better. Do better. Oh, Bangkok Dangerous. Bangkok Dangerous? Oh, my gosh,

that movie sucks. Yeah. That movie's so bad. The title is even bad. Yeah, that movie's really. really bad. Oh my gosh. That's a bad movie. Yeah, I think, yeah, I don't want to, oh, but then if I do, okay, yeah, Bangkok

Dangerous. Let's do it. All right. Let's roll the dice. Show me Bangkok Dangerous for all the points. Oh. You lose. We all turned into Ford Lane.

We all turned into exactly. Five Andrew dice claims right. Yeah. All right. Well, congratulations. Katie, you in the prizes. Let's see what, uh, what's, left here on the board.

Number three, Scott said, no way, is it on here? Face off. Oh, come on. How are people? Why did, what? That movie's great. You guys are insane. I love that movie.

Number six, not even mentioned. I don't even know if the chat room mentioned it, but number six, another combo sequel and its original movie, National Treasure One and Two. I wasn't sure. It was so popular. I didn't think anyone would. Yeah. I know.

Again, I think, you know, you think of, uh, the tadpole and they're like oh yeah which movies do I know I know National Treasure that wasn't very good so I'll put that it's like how we have our how we do our political process oh I know that name right exactly

and finally number 10 come on I would have not picked these in the time I know I could have somebody be trolly yeah Conair is one of my favorite Nick Cage movies let's talk about what

make the list. A lot of people said the Flash, because he appears as Superman in there for a split second. Gone in 60s. Knowing. Really? Then I also have, I separated it out because I knew the Tadpool would do this.

Twelve people said all of them are the worst thing cage movie. Rude. More than twice that amount said, no such thing, there is not a bad Nicholas Cage movie. 26 people said no such thing is a bad Nicholas Cage movie. Wow, that's a bolder.

statement as well goodness yeah it is i don't know i don't agree with either those really uh peggy sue got married deadfall family man jujitsu which apparently has nothing to do with jujitsu yeah that was good with tay leone family man right jiu jitsu i heard was really bad people like actually there's actually hate on that movie i don't know what that is uh here's here's one that i absolutely disagree with kick ass oh kick ass raising raising arizona definitely doesn't belong on the list no uh there's your Bangkok Dangerous at number 25. City of Angels, Firebirds, Grand Isle, Renfield, Valley Girl, Bringing Up the Dead, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Color Out of Space, Honeymoon in Vegas, Mandy, number 35, Moonstruck, you people. Outcast, the Humanity Bureau, the Old Way, the Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Adaptation, and then we get into ones that one person submitted each of these.

Amos and Andrew, Army of One, Bad Lieutenant, Port of Cal New Orleans, that's one title. Birdie, Bone Rider, Earth Girls are Easy, Fast Times of Ridgemont, hi, you monsters, G-Force Grind House, leaving Las Vegas, again, wrong, Licking Glass, Lord of the Springs, Lord of War, Matched Schen, Mom, Dad. He said, G-Force Grind House as if it was the same movie. It was like one word, yeah, one movie, G-Force Grind House. I like that. Pig, Space Ass. I don't know what Space Ass is. Is there really a Nick Cage movie called Space Ass? It's as good as any other. title, the apprentice,

oh, they probably not Sorcer's Apprentice. The Boy in Blue, the frozen ground, the rock. Oh, don't you talk about the rock that way? Any of you? That movie rules. And Win Talkers. Okay. Wind Talkers is all right.

I just did a search for space ass in Nicholas Cage, and I came up with color out of space, and this looks awesome. Color out of space? Color out of space. It was probably terrible. Of course it is. arm is struck by a strange meteorite which has

apocalyptic consequences for a family living there and possibly let's see 2019 he came out what is he doing this has to be from HP Lovecraft yes this needs to be in the film

sack list I don't think HP Lovecraft had very much to do with this probably the original idea Tommy Chong's in it I'll give him that I like Tommy Chong star Jolie Richardson yeah and Tommy as you mentioned Tommy Tommy Chong or Chomitong. Chomitong.

Chomitong. Chomitong. And then a lot of credits to Chibanga playing Comet the Horse. Leia playing Sam the Dog. Afro playing Sam the Dog. Lucifer playing G-Spot the Cat. G-Spot the Cat, no. This looks bad.

This looks real bad. Although the reviews on 90B aren't that bad. 6.2 out of 10. It's not bad. 56,000 reviews. In rural New England to escape the hustle of the 21st century. They're busy adapting to their new life when a meteorite crashes in their front yard. yard the mysterious aerolite seems to melt into the earth infecting both the land and the

properties of space time with a strange otherworldly color to their heart the gardener family discovered this alien force is gradually mutating every life form that it touches including them wow wow isn't that everybody's dream a meteorite lands in their front yard get to go out and look at it totally i think this baby needs to be on the list was g-force the one with the gerbils or guinea pigs or whatever was oh the animated thing yeah I think it was not that you say that yeah not the proper like that gerbil that gerbil thing yeah gerbil it was part of the gerbil yeah Herman gerbils uh well all right these are all bad and uh we I enjoyed this mainly I liked it because Katie won and uh I like it when Katie wins no fussy frisics that's

We're going to do all the tech you can handle, all right, this morning.

So looking forward to that. Let's play a song first, though. What do you got? Yeah, this is some light fun. You know, I like my indie pop, especially stuff that comes from Brisbane, Australia. I don't know if I particularly go for that stuff, but I do like this. This is a brand new single from Asha Jeffries, Australia-based Indie Pop Riser. It's a brand new song called Stranger, premiered today on Under the Radar,

We've returned. Who is that again? is Asha Jeffries or Asha Jeffries from her upcoming album, Ego ride. That is Stranger, brand new single from Asha Jeffries. Excellent. Tom Merritt incoming. We're going to have some Tom time.

Everybody needs a little Tom time in their life. We want Tom. So we're going to do it. It's Tom Merritt, everybody. He is the man with a plan when it comes to technology reporting. And in fact, he's preparing even as we speak for the Daily Tech News show today. Tom Merritt, welcome back. How are you?

oh i'm good the only thing that separates me from teddy roosevelt is panama oh my well man plan yeah yeah palindrome panama very nice uh it's nice to see you you look like you just ran a mile uh because you're wearing a cool hoodie and and all that i like it i like it's good look uh tom merritt yeah i ran a mile what is uh what is going on in the world i mean i have i try to keep up And thankfully, you're around, so I don't have to so hard. You know, you can do it. That's my job. And I enjoy it.

TikTok is not banned. Let's just, you know, make sure that everybody knows that. The breaking news this morning is that the U.S. House of Representatives has, in fact, passed its version of a bill that would order any foreign adversary controlled platform. in the united states to be sold uh within five months of of notification uh in this case passage of the bill or uh be prohibited from being distributed uh by either app stores or web hosts now usually with these sorts of things they they go through a lot of uh you know verbal gymnastics to try to define foreign adversary controlled apps to include bite dance uh i got to i got to I got to hand it to the house.

This time, they defined foreign adversary controlled platforms as TikTok. Oh. Like, it's in the bill. It's like bite dance platforms like TikTok and anything else that meets this definition. And then they have a B paragraph that says, and also anything else the president decides. And there's some rules about if the president wants to declare an app foreign adversary controlled, he has to publish it, notify Congress and all this stuff. It's kind of a scary bill in that respect because it would give any president,

not just the current president, but any president a little power to ban anything by someone not in the United States, in the United States. But yeah, it's specifically, like very specifically targeted at TikTok. And you don't need to worry about it yet. My guess is this thing dies in the Senate. The United States Senate has to also pass this bill for it to get sent to the president. The president is indicated he'll sign it.

So if the Senate were to pass it, it would probably become law. But there is very little chance that it's going to make progress in the Senate anytime soon. Most senators have either expressed, you know, some kind of ambivalence toward it. Like, well, we'll take a look at it on constitutional grounds or in Senator Rand Paul's case. He's flat out objected to it. So it's going to have a long hill to climb. One thing that I've noticed is there's no companion version. Usually if a bill has a lot of momentum, there's a companion version already been worked up in the Senate so that they can pass their own version and then reconcile it with the House.

That's the way these things usually go. There's no companion version at this point. Not that there won't be, but that means it doesn't have the momentum there. So that's the immediate thing to know is this thing is not going to become law anytime soon. that could change if some big revelation comes out about, you know, we found code in TikTok that sends all your data directly to the Communist Party headquarters of Beijing or something like that, then sure, this could build momentum really fast. But even if it does pass at some point, Bight Dance won a case in court in Montana on a similar law in Montana, and it has a very good case to say this is unconstitutional. It would likely be able to get an injunction to stop it from being enforced until the courts would rule on it. It's not foregone conclusion that the courts would find the law constitutional.

So it would have a good chance of being overturned. So at this point, you know, I put the chances of you not being able to download a new version of TikTok at maybe like 3%. Those chances could go up, but it's pretty small. And even if everything that I say is wrong and it passes and the courts uphold it, it doesn't take it off your phone. It just says you can't distribute it anymore. So it means you wouldn't be able to get updates or you wouldn't be able to download a new version of it without a VPN. Yeah. If you've already got it, it stays on.

Yeah, if you've already got it, it stays on. And if you want to get updates, you just pretend you're in Europe. Yeah, that's true. Also, it's not like we're the first country to consider this, this, sort of stuff lots we join a bunch of them act and distribution of tick tock so that's already happened yeah some other countries have limited stuff like european parliament can't have it on their phones or uh in britain yeah that i sometimes feel like that gets exaggerated it's it's it's sort like you can't have it on your work phone right but but a parliamentarian uh and people in the

united states uh in in military and stuff they can have it on their personal phones in some cases some cases they can't but yeah sure sure well it's interesting um Let me ask you this. So there was some talk about former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kodick possibly being interested in buying the thing. That kind of came out of nowhere. And I don't know if there's really all that much to it. But let's just say that that's the case. He's that he has a high interest in doing it and he has the money to do it.

What does that do? Does that make it suddenly Nolan void? It means, oh, well, now a guy in the U.S. owns it. So it's okay. We can have it all we want. Is that what that means? I'm trying to think about a good metaphor here. Like, let's say there's a chance the court would order you to sell your car in a divorce settlement and your neighbor calls you and it's like, hey, I'll buy your car.

You might go, why don't you wait until the court forces me to sell it? I like my car. I'm not going anywhere with it. That seems to be the case here. This report is based on a dinner at the Allen & Company conference last week where Bobby Kotick, said, you know what, I'm going to put together a group and make an offer on this just in case. He's like, I contacted ByteDance to tell him I'm interested. So he's got a lot of money and he has a lot of contacts and he could put together a group so that ByteDance

knows there's somebody that would buy it if they want to sell it. Chances are, even if it gets to that point, the government of China has expressed opposition in the past to the idea of ByteDance being forced to sell TikTok. I assume they would again. I again find it a very low chance that ByteDance does sell TikTok, even if all of this stuff happens, even if the law has passed and all of that. But sure, Kodak is probably not the only one if it were to become reality who'd be interested in buying it. All this over TikTok, man. Crazy. Yeah. My personal opinion is this is a misplaced priority. I don't believe that TikTok is pure. I don't believe that there is that it would be impossible for China's Communist Party to somehow access US user data

through TikTok. It would be very difficult. A lot of people don't realize that TikTok already has outsourced its algorithm and U.S. data to an independent company called USDS, which operates on Oracle servers and is owned by the committee on foreign investment in the US. Like they're on the board. It's a separate company. If you've ever wondered why the TikTok algorithm acts weirds, a lot of times it's because the separate company has to replicate everything bite dance does. There are stories that were put out in January that, you know, some of that information was shared with bite dance employees in China. But it would be very difficult.

It would be much more difficult for China to get information on you through TikTok than it would be to just go to a data broker and buy it. There's more information about you available on the open market just thanks to the way internet and advertising works than there would be going through TikTok. So I don't think that this is particularly where all these efforts should be focused. And TikTok is also not the only Chinese company that is out there. There's so many video games you play, mobile,

games you play Lenovo makes laptops that you use and they have a headquarters in China it just it just feels like people are emotionally reacting to tick them yeah I misplaced

priority is a great term for it I think that's absolutely how I feel about it it feels really stupid and kind of a there's maybe some other things that could be focused on right yeah it's a little bit of a circus well we'll see how it goes and of course Tom and The Daily Tech News Show will bring that information to you.

Tom, I know you got a new book brewing. It's very exciting stuff. Tell people more about it so they can go and support it and be there. Yeah, I've probably told, you know, I've come to you before Bernie Sanders-like on this show and asked you for your support on a book. But a lot of times it's a fiction book. It's a novel, and this time it's not. Will Harris, who you may know, is the CEO of a company called Unbound.

they do a version of crowdfunding for book publishing. So they get folks to support a book and pre-order. And then we publish the book later. And if you are one of the people who supports it and pre-orders it, there's some perks that you get. There's some fun inclusions and signed copies and things like that. So this is something I'm really excited about because I'm writing about technology. The kind of information you heard me just give you the kind of information that I do

on Know A Little More and Daily Tech News show in book form so that you can understand technology easily. It's called Sinked, understand technology, and make it work for you. And if you haven't already, I know a lot of you haven't. I thank you for that. If you haven't already preordered, the pre-orders are open. Go check it out. You can get to it easily at tom's newbook.com. That's right. There's also a direct link if you want to go to unbound.com slash book slash synced. That'll also get you there. Very excited, dude. I think that's awesome. You know, plenty of fiction out there from Tom Merritt. Now we get some real, or, you know, some real hardcore non-fiction technology.

I stop lying and start telling you. That's right. Be here on the ground floor. Tom Merritt, everybody, have a fantastic week, and we'll see you later for the D-TNS. Bye now. Thanks, y'all. Nice. See it, Tom.

That weird thing going again. Yeah, I did some testing, actually, while he was on. I muted both of you guys or lowered your both of your volumes and the hiss was still there. Like, I could not tie that to, yeah, I don't know. What the frick is that? Because we don't have it with any. I saw green outlines around both of you and like, well, that's weird. So I muted you first.

I was like, nope, still hear it. Brought you back up, took Tom down. Nope, still hear it. You still heard it. Well, maybe you'd hear it with me because I'm, it'll come back from me. I don't know. But it's the only person I ever have this with is Tom. I know, yeah.

Like we have Randy and Nicole coming up. We had Brian and Katie on early. and it's weird that it doesn't come up with anybody else. It's never happened with anybody. It's weird also, but they can't isolate it. Yeah, it's just strange. That's a very odd thing. If anyone knows what that is.

Yeah, I was hearing that little echo thing too without, with, with, uh, I guess I never muted both of you at the same time. I always muted just one of you at a time. I didn't want to miss somebody saying, what do you think, Brian? Hey, hey, Brian, what you, yeah, Brian, we need to hear what you have to say, and then you go silent. That'd be perfect. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, it's interesting. We're tech support. As you said, uh, time for recommendals. And, uh, let's get these, uh, uh, two. chuckleheads in here. Let's get them going. Let's see here. We got them ringing up and we'll play a little intro. Well, what do you recommend? Ah, that soothing music means it's time for recommendals. We talk about stuff we've seen on streaming services, sometimes old, sometimes new. Doesn't matter. Stuff we want to recommend. And we talk to you about all of that. Let's do that now. Let's start with

Randy Jordan who joins us. Hi, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. Today I'm going very old. and I'm excited because it's the it's the Oscars week it was really fun it is a if you watch it right I watched chunks wine brought it like a hawk you all you guys are you guys are into it it man you and you and Brian are into it into the Oscars yeah I just wanted it's a bad thing I don't mean it is a bad thing at all I don't mean into it you watched it like a hawk no negativity meant at all I think it's great I'm glad in fact I'm glad you guys did because then I get your perspectives and I didn't have to We watch the Oscars so you don't have to

It's basically what our new podcast You should have because my gosh Ryan Gosling's performance was incredible I saw part of that I saw part of that song it was all right It was good I mean I don't know like it's like anything If they get up they do their stuff They go home it's fine

I like I like finding out what's good And then watching those movies over the year You're gonna hear me this year come back and go Oh you guys have finally saw holdovers Holdovers is awesome Why didn't you tell me? Past Lives was so good. Yeah.

At this point, you should save holdovers until December. Okay. That's going to be a new Christmas movie for you. Yeah. I'll keep hearing that. Well, I guess it was all set at Christmas, right? Or over the Christmas holiday or something. Over the Christmas break, yeah.

Nicole, not answering. I don't know why, but we'll get started and then she'll hopefully ring in. She's online, but I don't know why she's not answering. Anyway, well, let's start with Brian, because we always do start with Brian. He's got a clip here. You want to tell us what we got? Absolutely. I'm going old.

but not quite as old. I'm going a little over 10 years old for a British television series, six seasons on this thing, if I remember correctly. And it's very, very good. I decided let's give you a very crucial, dramatic moment in the show. Okay. Let's do it right here, right now. They are two feet apart in a confined space.

Frankly, for you, this is a forensic ground zero. Don't do that. You had four, five. People killed and me framed. I expect you had Danny Wolfen killed too. And never a single speck of blood on your hands. Do you want to shoot me? You go ahead.

If it sends you to prison, that is my... job done. Do not send that message. You're just a go-between. You're a weasel. Other people do your dirty work for you. Well, whatever it is, it sounds intense.

It's pretty dang intense. You were hearing right there Craig Parkinson as as Matthew Colton or Dot and Lindsay Denton played by who is she why I'm not seeing it here such a, oh here, Keeley Haas you know

Craig Parkinson from the BBC TV show Misfits, Whitechapel I love Misfits, he's really good. This is a British series called Line of Duty and it's

I wish it had a more exciting name because Line of Duty just is like Oh, Line of Duty, yeah, great. Haven't there been 14 ABC see shows called Land of Duty, it sure feels like it. This is a police procedural TV series

that is every bit as dramatic as like ER, like it reminds to be so much of ER in its heyday and each season focuses on a crime that usually takes place in the first episode and the fallout that comes from that crime

as the AC12 unit. Oh, I'm giving that wrong. 12 unit. I'm trying to remember what AC12 stands for and a corruption unit. So it's kind of like internal affairs for the British Police Department. The first season focuses on a crime involving Lenny James or Tony Gates, but Lenny James, you know as Morgan from The Walking Dead, the guy who beat a lot of zombies with a long stick. That was his weapon of choice was a long stick. And that is an amazing season.

His character is incredible. Later seasons bring in folks like Jonas Armstrong and Kelly MacDonald, who we all love. Really, really incredible, powerful show. This is one of those English things where this is a series that's been going for 20 years and they only have six seasons in a total of 24 episodes. A total of 36 episodes. six episodes per season. And I don't think it's going on anymore.

It, um, the first four seasons, uh, 2012 to 2016, and then they did a couple more seasons that ended in 2021. So I don't know if it's officially canceled, but it, um, uh, this is when I was going through my list of the greatest television series of the 21st century. Oh, that's right. This was on the list. I'm like, oh, I need to check this out. And it deserves it.

This is, this came in third in a Radio Times 2018 poll of the best British crime dramas of all time. It won the National Television Award for Special Recognition, Telegraph, Top 50, BBC 2 shows of all time. It deserves all these accolades. It is gripping. It is compelling. And my God, you love these actors, you love these characters from the moment you start watching this show. And you get so entrenched in the stuff that they're having to figure out and go through. And, you know, it's as much a mystery to you as a viewer as it is to the characters until they figure things out.

It's really, it's a cool, can you figure it out mystery thing along with the characters, I guess. I really like shows like this, but my wife is probably going to send you a cake. She likes shows this much. Oh, she will love this. This is one of those shows that I'm borderline put the closed captioning on because there's a couple of people with very thick accents. Ted Hastings is this one of the main guys. He's like the boss of all these guys. He's an Irish guy.

They actually have a, he like the Dairy Girls. There's a mural painted of this guy somewhere in Belfast. And he's got a very thick Irish. accent and I I I want to just have subtitles turned on for certain characters but you got just do it I just tell people just put on the subtitles like yeah it's it's fine exactly and I can always you know look if I can watch the show and then I just look down if I miss something if I feel like I don't know because it's also occasional phrases like I give them a bit of the business or you know a little bit of the house of father but uh stuff like that is like oh okay I don't know

what that means but uh okay makes sense um but this is so good this is uh uh you know i recommended some series in the past this is an incredibly powerful traumatic and six episodes six hours for the first season boom watch it in over a weekend and uh i guarantee you'll be hooked it's so good so all good procedural of the last like 40 years come in two four one of two flavors they're either trying to shock you with how edgy and shocking they are or they try to have a mystery whodunit, you can't figure it out. Which is this?

More of the latter. This doesn't do anything that, it doesn't do anything that you haven't seen before in things like NYPD Blue and the wire and stuff like that. But it does it in such a brilliant way that it feels fresh. It doesn't feel worn out and tired. it feels like something like there's no oh and now we've got some sort of supernatural element to this like there's nothing nothing out there edgy weird it's like oh this is this is great who's you know is there a bent copper somewhere here in this in the midst uh that's a that's a phrase I learned a bent copper I'm not a bent copper I like that no that's my favorite kind of

British procedural when they when they go very British with it you know I don't I don't need more CSI overseas. What I need is something very British. This sounds great. Line of duty is the name. Line of duty. It is streaming on the Hulu. The Hulu. That's the one thing I didn't do this morning is get the list of, yes, it's on, it's streaming on Hulu. Very nice. Nicole is joining us now. Hi, Nicole. How are you?

Hi. I, you keep saying duty and I Doody. Duty. So I went to see Rupal I guess a couple nights ago and she was talking about dirty charades. Have you heard of this? No. Which made me think of the line of beauty. Where you take a movie title

or TV show and you change one word. So the examples that were given were the Mary Tyler Hoare show. Oh, wow. That would change the context of that. There's a whole late night comedy show now doing that

those games yeah Taylor Tomlinson has a show after midnight yeah not at midnight right

I made that mistake a couple weeks I was saying calling it at midnight yeah after midnight that's cool is that also

is that a worldwide pants production is Letterman's production no it's funny or die okay all right that's interesting

they're still they're still around huh oh funny yeah it's bigger Because what's his name? Stephen Colbert basically purchased Funny or Die at some point. It's so weird to see how these companies that have been around for so long are getting

bought up by and then shut down. That's how we do. Poor rooster teeth. Yeah, poor guys. They're gone now. It's weird. It's so weird to watch. You know, it's an impossible task to run a business based purely on comedy, like on the

internet, because you're competing with TikTok. and YouTube like how how could you ever win against the masses yeah yeah that's hard um and you even have your own channels on there and they don't they don't really compete that well so well anyway there you go uh line line of duty thank you listener for listening to us right yeah that's right uh let's fly over here to Nicole Nicole we got a we got a clip for you for a thing that has been a little controversial in terms of reviews the the audience likes it more yeah audience scores okay but The reviewers don't seem to like it. I'm excited to hear your...

The reviewer, some of the reviewer excuses for why they don't like it is dumb. They're dumb. It's a dumb excuse for why they don't like it, but we'll get into that. Yeah, we'll get into it. It's predictable, but it was enjoyable. Enjoyably predictable, you might say. Enjoyably predictable. Excellent.

I was in, I think, you know, we've talked about this many times. It's the mindset you go into something. You know, like, there's, there's movies where you're like, this is going to suck really bad. And it wasn't that bad. And you're like, oh, that wasn't that bad. It wasn't that good, but it wasn't that bad. All right. Fair enough.

There's room for that in our lives. I have no problem with that. I have no problem with that. You know, in your entertainment, you got to have some stuff that's not perfect sometimes. Yeah, exactly. So I enjoyed it. It's playing on Netflix. It just, what, a couple, like a week ago it came out.

Yeah. Or maybe a couple days. I don't know. Should we hear the clip? Yeah, let's hear the clip. Let's do the clip. Here comes the clip. I'm supposed to carry you back. I'll turn it up a little.

I'm fine. I'm walking, really. I'm whispering. Floria would love this part. Close your eyes. I've got you. he's been a Jesuit-looking ladies in here he's been a Jesuit-looking ladies in here

and down the pet she screams for like two minutes wow she got tossed man So those folks who just drove off the road, sorry about that. Yeah, this looks, that looked intense, that little bit there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is damsel with, I purposely didn't look up her name because I know I'm going to butcher it. Oh, even better then. All right.

Bobby Joe, Billy. Bobby Joe Billy. That's it. Bobby Joe Billy. Oh, this is sad. What's your name? Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. Bobby, Bobby.

It's Millie Bobby Brown, and you're close. Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Billy Bobby Brown. Billy Bob Brown. That was awesome. Millie Bobby Brown. Okay.

Yeah. That's a name. But I love her. I love her in a Nola Hall. I know. Stop it, Randy. clearly love this person my love does not dictate me remembering your name that's true oh i'm so glad that's good that's a that's a limitation for a lot of people you're you're like i don't need

to remember your name to love you let me just the same yeah i just have i have a problem remembering it's kind of like brad's saying has those remembering faces i feel like that is no problem your your your quote unquote problem is our game sure sure so how so is this good like everyone says bad I don't I don't trust I love her said it was good yeah I love a good girl power story and that's

what I mean she seems to gravitate towards those roles after being 11 on Stranger Things and Anola Holmes which I loved her in both of those so I was like oh let's watch her in this now um and so

unfortunately they gave a lot of the movie away in the trailers. I guess there are a few things they don't say in the trailers, but it's obvious. This is a fantasy drama, right? It is. It's a fantasy drama. There's a dragon.

And basically the setup is she marries into a family. And this scene that we played is in the trailer. And it's actually what got me to watch the movie. And it's her new prince of a husband throwing her into the chasm of the dragon. And then you kind of get a story of many, many centuries. You know, there was a movie in the 80s or 90s where they would sacrifice the princess to the dragon? What was that movie? The dragon slayer, where she was chained to the rock, yeah.

It kind of reminded me a little bit of that, right? Okay. Yeah. So I couldn't remember the name of that. I just remember the hands. The woman, the woman, the chain to the rock. Yeah. So how's Ray Winstone in this?

Because I love him kind of unconditionally. Who? Yeah, I was good. Oh, I hope to beat her to do it. Ray, Ray, Ray Winstone plays somebody named Lord Bayford, Bayford. Do you know? Oh, that's her father. Okay.

I had to look up in me. I like that guy. Yeah, so he plays her father. Angela Bassett's in it. Yeah. Hey, we got the name. Which is a little weird. Leave me a little, Randy.

I am loving this. I'm loving this so much. Whoa. I just read the dragon voices. Shora, how are you saying her last name? I love her, dude. Oh, really?

From the expense. She's perfect as the voice of the dragon. Perfect. That's a cool thing, because she's way down here with her. Yeah. That's cool. I love that the Princess Bride is in another fantasy show. Ah, yes.

She's awful. Not awful as an actor. Awful character. Awful character, right? Robin Wright. Robin Wright? She's not a pen anymore. Is she pen anymore?

She lost her pen. Long time. She lost your pen. She can't find her pen. Take the pen. Jerry, take the pen. Keep the pen. Keep the pen.

I enjoyed it. I, you know, I would, I like these kind of, but I went into it with the right mindset thinking, you know, kind of fun, fantasy, story, I think Dragon Slayer, I think, you know, Big Kingdom and all the politics of that. So I, I did enjoy it. You seem to, so the, the, the audience score is 72%. You sound like you're around that, around 72%. Yes.

And some of the credit group. views are like, oh, I was expecting a fantasy movie and it turned into a horror movie. It's like, okay, is there something, but even that isn't really something I'd complain about. It's like, oh, cool, it's kind of switching genres, but you're saying no. You say, no, I just, no, I say, no, it's not a horror movie at all. It's pure fantasy. It's a fantasy movie. It does end a little dark, I guess.

This one review from Empire Magazine says, too childish and shallow for adults, yet too brutal and gory for kids. this one or this is one damsel that really needs saving up doesn't need saving after all or something like that's a good question i would like matthew i was going to ask you if you'd let matthio watch this okay of course of course yeah it's a pg 13 movie so okay all right um there you go then i have 11 year old is it appropriate for her it's so hard because different kids react differently like two things sure um there's what there's a scene at the end like i said at the very, and it gets a little dark. I don't want to give

anything away. But it didn't disturb you, Nicole. No, it didn't. Okay. No. I've seen worse on Game of Thrones. But there's a lot of Game of Thrones like takeaways here. I mean, I guess we're really like dragons. It's Game of Thrones.

Yeah. It's Game of Thrones-ish. Tina and I were thinking about watching this anyway, and I don't think anything has dissuaded us from watching it. So I think we're still going to, we're still going to do it. A lot of these Reviews just keep talking about how the CGI is bad. Is that true? No, I didn't even notice it.

Okay. And I said it's a common. I watched it on my phone. Oh, well. I didn't like it. Don't listen, David Lynch. I like to do, you know, I curl up in bed and I just kind of watch. Because I have young kids, so I get interrupted all the time.

So if I'm going to watch a movie through, I have to like make it to wear. I can easily. Exactly, with no kids around. Can somebody please get Nicole an iPad just so she can at least watch it bigger than... I have an iPad. I gave it to my kids. Yeah, you got children around. Nobody keeps their iPad when you have kids around.

Oh, God, I'm glad I dodged that bullet. Yeah. To get our kids out early, Brian, then we don't have to worry about it. Exactly. Yeah, I recommend it. I liked it. It was a fun. You will get the mystery.

You'll get the twist. It's okay. All right. She was dead the whole time. She was never allowed. No, not that. Randy, let's fly over to your house and talk about what you brought. I have a clip.

What do you want to say? Brian, that Jimmy Kimmel completely ruined poor things on the Oscars. I don't know. I think if you didn't see the movie, he didn't. I would argue that. Okay, good. I didn't see the movie, and I also heard him do the joke, and it did not ruin the movie for me, or didn't give anything away for me.

That movie, it's almost impossible. Poor Things is impossible to ruin for me Because there is so much weird shit in there That I was prepared for none of it And even me saying to you people who haven't seen it There's tons of weird shit in there You're still not going to be ready to see for how weird You just won't

There was somebody had said That Poor Things was a copy of an old movie called It was Frankenslut I think that's just what AI determined would be a better name for the movie. Yeah, maybe. I mean, there is some actual legit charge. Well, I don't know if it's legit,

but somebody's saying that there's some stolen ideas here. And they had screenshots of like, what's the, I don't know if it's called Bring a sled or not, but I think it's something like that. Well, the whole thing's based on a book. And I think according to what I've read, it's very close to the book. So either that book stole the ideas or, you know,

I don't know, maybe who knows? Everybody always says somebody's taking somebody else. idea. So I have been floating in the current zeitgeist and you'll realize this as soon as you hear the first second of this clip. I've been floating in the current zeitgeist. I found myself putting this 40 year old movie on at the office yesterday. And then I just couldn't stop watching it and enjoying it. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this 40 year old movie that I've seen before. And I don't remember ever liking it as much as I do. right now and i want to figure out why all right let's play your clip and see what we got in this time the most precious substance in the universe is the spice melange the spice extends life the spice expands consciousness you don't have to play the whole clip the spice is vital to space travel i don't want to not be the spacing guild and its navigators who the spice has mutated over 4,000 years use the orange spice gas which gives them the ability to fold space that is travel to any

part of the universe without moving whoa freaking slow down sister that's what are the greatest movies of all time it's it's really not but i want you to i want you to rewatch it now that you're you're also floating in the current zeitgeist because it is so fun to watch now. It is so freaking fun. Every scene is filled with ridiculousness and the joy of screen

adaptation. There's so much of it. And I never picked up on that, you know, before this viewing. I think that's actually a great idea. And I'm going to do this with 84's version of the movie because I am so into Dune right now. I can barely think about anything else. And I ended up

rewatching Dune Part 1, after I saw Dune Part 2 in theaters. And I'd seen Dupar 1 like four times already prior to this. So it wasn't like, you know, I didn't recognize things. But there is stuff that Dune Part 2, and I don't mean they like specifically have throwback moments. I don't mean that. But there are things in one that make not more sense, but are more meaningful and impactful

as a whole. I'll just give one example. when the envoy is sent from the from the emperor to go tell House of Trades they have to take over Iraqis and they send that huge crazy ship and he's got to do the ring and the goo and all that or in the wax

and you know do his whole what did he say I think I've played at the top of the show this right here I have taken five No where is it? We'll have some cheese when you can. I guess it was yesterday. I played it yesterday. Anyway, he gets up there and talks about how

there's no job we won't do correctly and we're always honorable and all this stuff. Yeah. There's a moment there where Jessica gets a glance, probably a subconscious voice look from the big Ben of Jesuit lady, the one with the huge hat, the big evil one. And they exchange this moment when this conversation's happening that in that first movie kind of means nothing.

It just sort of says, oh, well, this is an interesting relationship between those two. It's obviously a little antagonistic. For some reason, she's uncomfortable around her. you know, okay, whatever, here's the rest of your movie. Now when you see the way part two plays out, that look and that glance in that moment has so much more weight to it. Highly recommend going back to part one

if you've seen part two and watch it. Do it again when they all come out at home. Like I'm planning a huge, I got all kinds of plans where you're watching all that shit. And I think this extends to the 84th thing. It's just fun to go back and go, all right, well, what did they try to do? Well, they had no budget for proper fighting fist to cuff.

So what did they do? budget though and like I was amazed at how gross this movie is and like that's where the that's where the lack of budget is really seen like I mean all of the grossness is like silly stage effects you know well you have a racer head right is gross and weird and because I was curious like where Dune fell in David Lynch's like lineup yeah I wasn't sure if he met Kyle McLaughlin before or after Dune it looks like he I guess that's where he was introduced to him oh really so yeah blue velvet was after after all that stuff after Dune all that stuff

for whatever reason I always I always put that one before Dune and all the rest of the stuff he did with them after pretty sure that's the only thing he likes that came out of Dune because he hates it and disregards it never wants his name his love for Kyle McLaughlin is the only yeah yeah because the rest of it he disowned essentially but I that Alamo draft house thing was great I shared it well back, but it does a great job of overlaying the same scenes that you see in Dune Part 1 with 1984 Dune and then the 2000 sci-fi, Siffy channel June adaptation. So you get to kind of see how each of those approach it. So what we've got on Max right now, and the thing I'm asking you to watch, is the theatrical version.

so it's also kind of tight like I I don't remember now what we watched for Film Sack 12 years ago but it was I think it was a an extended cut one of the two extended cuts might have been yeah

and this is nice and tight and I didn't feel like it was missing anything and I it made me wonder like what's the why did we have all these why did we have all this gnashing of teeth about adding things to this Like, it's perfectly good movie. Yeah.

Like, it tells the whole story. It's, I wouldn't call it a perfectly good movie. I would call it, I would call it adept at telling the full story of that first book for a, for a book that is very hard to tell in one two hour movie. Right. It encapsulates as much of it, of much of the first book as it can in the two hours that it's given. Yeah. Yeah. You need to watch it and then you can decide whether or not you think it's a perfectly good movie.

Okay. I'm telling you. Oh, I've seen it many times. It's not a good movie, Randy. You're not going to convince me. You use perfectly good. Like, I can go to the diner and get a perfectly good plate of scrambled eggs. Is that kind of the level of perfectly good that we're talking about?

That's what this sounds like. I'm saying there's so much fun in it that I didn't remember their being. You know, there's so much of this, what's his name, Kenneth McMillan as Baron Harkonan. I like him a lot. Like, he's so freaking fun. And Brad Durf is just like chewing up scenery every time he comes and goes. you know um Kyle McLaughlin is was better for me than I remember him being I remember kind of disliking him as Paul and now I kind of like him as Paul and I'm like maybe that has something

to do with the the you know the maybe there's a Timothy shallomay effect I don't know I like to say I think Timothy shallmay is very good as Paul atrety so you're I don't know you're gonna I'll go watch it I'll watch it again because I'm planning on it anyway but I I you know I'll be curious if I have kind of this revelatory rewatch that you that you had it. I'm not saying revelatory. I'm just saying I had it kind of cemented as like a six in my brain for decades. And I just watched it. I'm like, oh, this is a seven. Wow. I'm kind of amazed. I like that. Up a full point. I hope I get that as well out of it. I mean, I'm on my brain is just, I'm on the spice right now. I can't stop. That's all I can think about.

Also, this is like, I decided I was not going to come in here this morning and try to take anything away from Dennis Villeneuve. I'm really, really not. But I just have to say, I feel like the understanding of the text is there for Lynch. And that Villeneuve is doing a thing where Lynch was really, really focused on the text. Yeah. And that's, I'm, I'm, Again, not saying anything is wrong with the new Dune movies. Just that what I'm seeing now in contrast, I like when I look at the Lynch. All right. Well, we'll see how it goes.

Who would win in a fight, Sting or Austin Butler, do you think? Austin Butler, all up and down the room. Sting is a. Certainly now, but Sting could go for, I think he said he could go for like three or four hours. And Austin Butler would probably tap up. Yeah, sex fight. A whole different animal sex fight. If you're doing sex fight, then my money's on sting.

Sting, yeah. All right, awesome stuff. Hey, Scott. Yes, ma'am. I just want to clarify for everybody. It's not Franken Flood. It's Franken Hooker. Franken Hooker.

Oh, I remember Franken Hooker. I remember seeing the poster for it. Yeah. Franken Hooker. I think we need to watch that for the two. For Filmsack. I wonder how bad that is. Let's see.

Also, it's Benegesceret, not Benegis. I know. I keep saying. Jesuit because it's just hard for me. But Jeser, yeah. So I'm looking at it here. Franken Hooker directed by Frank Hennelotter. The guy's name is almost the same name as the movie he made.

Franken Hennon Latter. Yeah, I don't know. I know nothing of this. Starring a young Olivia Coleman. Look at that. Oh, ha-ba-huh. No, I'm kidding. Also recommended here, Franken Puta.

I guess it's the Spanish version. Sure. I'll take your, I'll take your word for you. I'm not Googling that. No, not looking at all. Here is mine. It's quick and it's not that old, but a little old. And it's on Hulu.

Here it is. Yeah, my usual pizza. Especially with prosciutto and garlic potatoes. Yeah, I rush it. What? My tan? I don't sweat the small stuff. Soon I'll pay you for everything I owe you.

Oh, yeah, no olives, and be sure to make it a large. Don't forget. Are you listening to me, Dante? Didn't you hear me? I'm studying. I may take the occasional odd job here and there, but I've got no desire to babysit some brat. Brat? Sorry, young lady. Maybe in 10 years or so, I'll ask you on a date.

All right, if that sounds cheesy, it is. It sounds like cowboy bebop or something. You're not wrong. It's an anime. It's an anime. This is from 2007. It's the Devil May Cry anime or is technically called the Devil May Cry the animated series, but it's essentially a short run anime series that happened. Then based on the video game series, Devil May Cry, which is a series I like a lot in game form anyway. And I didn't know they made an anime. And I ran into this while I was dinking around, I believe, on Hulu. I should make sure that's true because Amazon doesn't think it's. It's Hulu, but I'm sure that's where I watch this. Anyway, uh, it's, if you like action base, shoot stuff up, kill a bunch of demon kind of business, lots of blood everywhere, uh,

and you're, and you're, you know, enjoying the weebification of your, of your, uh, getting into animated life or whatever. Uh, I think you can do worse than this. I really enjoyed it. I had a good time. I don't think this is the best thing ever. You mentioned cowboy bebop. That is a better spent, expenditure of your time when you're talking anime uh cowboy beep boob's amazing and i could rewatch that at any time however

this was fun in a very kind of basic guttural way it was like i'm gonna shoot i'm gonna shoot demons and they're gonna be really cool action sequences and then lots of demon blood's gonna fly all over the screen and there's very little downtime and it's a quick it's a quick watch i really i really enjoyed it i think it's a total of 12 episodes yeah um why didn't netflix make anything of this?

I don't, well, I mean, 2007's a long time ago, so I don't know. Oh, I thought we were talking about the new one. I'm sorry. I missed that part. No. Go ahead. No, Devil May Cry is the old one. As far as I know, there's not a new one, is there?

I mean, there's new games. There's a new one, and I guess it hasn't come out yet. Netflix has one in the can, and they're about to release it. Oh, okay. I'll be looking forward to that, actually, because I like this enough to want to see what they do next. It's interesting. And if you've never played the Capcom games, they're very action-oriented, very over the top sort of, you know, hack and slash sort of games that have been going on since

PS2 era and the latest, I think 2019's Devil May Cry 5 is excellent, very good, voice directed by our own Liam O'Brien, fan of the show. Anyway, it's good. It's just a good little time. And I'm also watching a couple other things in the middle of finally watching attack on Titan. And I'm going to finally watch Carter, set one, you're always trying to get me to watch, Ninja, Ninja Forest. What is it? Whatever it is. She has headphones on. She can't hear me. Ninja forest. Some kind of thing. I forgot the name of it. But anyway, I'm kind of in the mood and it's been good. So check it out. That's available now. Double May Cry, the animated series. I think Hulu. I'm just nervous because this IMDB listing does not say Hulu. So now I don't

know for sure, but I'll try to verify that. Oh, let's look. I know I watched it. Yeah, Hulu's I found it and linked to it and QuickTMS.L.I. is Hulu. All right. For some reason. Well, Amazon probably not motivated to let people know when Hulu things are happening. Right. I don't know. But usually it's correct. So I don't know. Anyway. I'm looking at it right now. It's on Hulu. You can find all of these and their links over at quicktms.l. And I recommend that you do. Nicole, having you here is always a blessing. Do you have any other things you want to mention before you go? Any kind of woodworking or anything going on?

Mark's building plant stands. His new hobby is plants. Oh, that's adorable. That's a great hobby. It's like greenwood. Yeah, proto wood. I like that. You build a box out of wood and then you grow wood in it.

Yeah. Yeah, there you go. That's cool. And he came into the bedroom last night. He goes, hey, let's get chickens. I'm like, no. Let's not do that because I don't even want to take care of them. Get chickens.

Okay. Yeah, I thought he was just wanted some kids. You know, you probably have a... Back in the shop here. There's a whole space. Sure. He should do chickens. You live in Missouri.

Do chickens. Come on. Yeah. I know I want chicken for lunch. Yeah. I'll eat your chickens. All right. I'll see you later.

Hey, Randy. Always a pleasure. May the spice ever flow in your favor. Oh, ghost dogging. We're ghost dog. Oh, ghost dog this weekend. Ghost dog. Way of the samurai or whatever the subtitle is.

See you then. Yeah. Neither ghosts nor dogs. No dogs. Discuss. All right, Ryan. Ryan? I called him Ryan.

Goodbye, Randy. Yeah, bye, Bandi. All right, that's it for that. And we're just about done today, but I do have a couple of quick things I'd like to read from listeners. Brian? Yeah.

Here's one. This is from Fabian, the farmer. Speaking of farms and chickens. I love the name Fabian, by the way. It's a pretty cool name. Yeah, I like it. Also, just being a farmer and being named Fabian, that's pretty cool in its own, right?

Yeah. Anyway, Fabian wrote in and says, hey, Scott and Brian, it's the guy who called in with the sheep in the background. He says, I was leaving a response to your desire to retire on a farm. This is the guy where the call got cut off early and also had all the sheep noises. So they probably got cut off at a good spot because I was going to say a graphic description of what Gross got out the most. During the week of that episode, I was in the middle of lambing a group of around 80 U's. This is all farmer talk. It is.

Oh, yeah, sure, lambing the U's. Yeah, as you do. Lamb and the U's, that's what you do. Which is the busiest most stressful time of year for a shepherd. So I still tell you shepherds. That's cool. This year was a particularly hard lambing to go through because we had a lot of losses. So I was having a pretty rough time that week.

Losses like dead sheep, I guess. That's awful. I guess. Yeah. Is lambing birthing the sheep's, I'm guessing? Is that right? I don't know. Lamming the U's.

Yeah, helping birth the newborn lambs. Pulling them out of the sheep's. the lamb. Pull him out of you. Yeah. There you go. I also, sorry, so I tried to add to the end that call a thank you for making the show because it really is light and entertaining programming that helps a person when going through a rough time.

And it feels like a shining beacon of light on the internet. So thanks for what you do. I certainly appreciate it, Fabian. Well, thanks, Fabian. We'll continue to do that for you, especially when you're lambing the ewes. Exactly. Somebody works at a maternity ward. Yeah, I got to go baby them out.

We're having a whole bunch of babying going on right now. It's a weird way, because if you apply it to humans, it never sounds right, right. It doesn't sound right. It sounds like you're pampering somebody. Yeah, I got to go baby the mother. Yeah. I got a pregnant mother. I got to go baby her.

It's a whole different meaning. And then we got some clarification on what the can of corn thing, the origin of that anyway, the most popular theory of the origin of can of. of corn is that it was first used by Harry Carey. Remember Harry Carrey? Hey, Harry Carrey. I only remember Harry Carrey because of Will Ferrell. If there wasn't for Will Ferrell, I'd have no idea who Harry Carey was.

So fun note, I got to meet Harry Carey when I was in Chicago when I was 18. And he was still doing Cubs games. And I was at a Cubs game. And on our way out, he was standing there. And I got to shake Harry Carey's hand. And his glasses are enormous. These big, like those things Will Ferrell's wearing, those are not a joke, dude. He had these...

Just massive windshield glasses, basically. It was crazy. Anyway, I was there with my friend Bill. Anyway, Carrie was the famous baseball announcer for the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals and was known for his colorful phrases and catch phrases. He is said to have coined the phrase in the 1920s when he was a young announcer for the Cardinals. According to the story, Carrie noticed the ease with which outfielder Taylor Tater don't... Sorry, don't hit.

Doubt hit? Doubt it. Doubt it? Doubt it? I'm sure. I'm sure somebody's going to be like, oh, you guys don't know anything about sports. It's pronounced flagin.

Yeah, my knowledge of 1920s baseball. Anyway, we'll call it Tater. Sure, that's why they called him Tater, I'll bet, because the last name sucks. Anyway, we'd catch fly balls and say, well, that was as easy as taking a can of corn off the shelf, unquote. Interesting.

Nice. So, yeah, I got an email from a guy named Michael, basically saying the same thing, basically. can of corn in baseball refers to a fly ball hit to an outfielder. So now it makes sense. They compare these thrown hot dogs, these thrown Frankfurters, as flies as easily as a can of corn. I wonder if this ever came up on that giant Ken Burns' 18-hour documentary

that I've seen like four times, five times over, whatever. You'd think I'd remember a bit. I'll bet Tater Duthett came up on that thing. Probably did. Yeah, and I just don't remember it. Because he does every era, covers it all. Oh, I'm in the mood for that again. I could watch that again.

I love that thing. Never saw the baseball one. I think you'd like it. It's Peter Coyote. I sure it would. Doing the voice. I like that guy's voice. Yeah, that's really good.

Oh, no, it's not Peter Coyote. Sorry, it's the guy before him who passed away. Historian guy, amazing voice. Crap. Yeah, it was before Coyote stepped in. Anyway, also very good, though. Okay. Eric Ferris says it's pronounced Delphit. Delphit?

Delphit. Delphit. So Taylor, Tater, Delfit. I doubt it. I doubt it very much. All right, that's it for the show today. We'd like to thank everybody for listening and point your noses and minds and eyes to the following website. It's frogfants.com slash TMS. All our links are there. Everything. All of it. Request songs. Get to the Vegas stuff. You want to find this quicktm.S.coms.L.I. link without remember.

remembering it's there too we have that linked for all kinds of stuff so check it out frogpants dot com slash tms let's get out of here with a song brian do you have one sure i have one and it's going out to the uh the very calm the very calm cool and collected jeff sire from ontario says uh dear brian i left my request for highway star by kori todd quite a while ago yesterday when you and scott got talking about created languages and how cool belter talk was and the expanse. I got excited. At the end of the show, you said you had had this request for a while as it wasn't tied to a date. I got more excited than you played someone else's request. So my request is for my sister Lisa's birthday on March 5th. Yeah, I know we're week late. To my knowledge, she's never seen the expanse. I don't think she would recognize Corey Todd's song Highway Star as a Belter version of the Deep Purple song. I don't think she would recognize this is the song that's playing when the Belter slingshot her shot through the ring gate and became the first victim. I do love my sister a lot, despite all of these failings. She is just the best side, Jeff.

That's the most Jeff Seyer-Bronco thing I've ever heard anyone read. It absolutely is, yes. So Jeff, finally getting to this, yeah, this comes from the soundtrack to the expense, the collector's edition soundtrack that came out in 2019, which also features a great belter version of the Black Keys tighten up. It's fantastic. But here is Highway Star, the Belter version. by Corey Todd.

And one quick note, Jeff's about to become a grandpappy, so Gratz on that. Oh, is he really? Oh, good for him. Yep. Coming up soon, I think, in the next couple of weeks
