And then you'll tell me I'm a weirdo. Took off with the watch. What? The morning stream. Steady as she goes. Number two. Good morning and welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for Wednesday, March 27th, 2024.

I'm Scott. That's Brian. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Hi, Brian. Hi. We just found out pre-show that Marvel Rivals is going to have a freaking alpha. And if you'd like shooters and Overwatch and things like that, you might want to sign up everybody.

Yeah, MarvelRivals.com. Sign up, but don't get in front of me because I'm going to be playing first. Who are you picking? Who of the roster are you? most excited. Oh, see, that's a good question. Which one of them would be a sniper? Is there is Hawkeye one of the 12? We never saw a video of Hawkeye, but I would guess

that he'd be the sniper. You've got to have a sniper class, right? You have to. Yes. Because that is my go-to. I go for the sniper character before anything else, but I do like a good I do like a good melee character as well. Well, the Hulk

looks like he's basically Yeah, you're tank. Yeah, he's basically Winston. I mean, I'm seeing a lot of parallels. Farah. For sure. Is it Farah? Whatever her name is. Iron Man is Farah. I think that ice girl we don't know is

Tracer. Like, there's some similarities here. Lena Snow, Lina Snow? Is that what it was? Lina or Una Snow or something Snow? We don't know who that is. And Brian's like a Marvel nerd and he doesn't know who that is. I don't know who that is. Brand new character. Maybe

in the Marvel Universe, but Oh. Yeah. maybe she'll show up in uh maybe she's a mutant that's uh must not be lena snow because i just google lena snow and it's hi well youtube channel hi i make workout videos and fitness programs most of them are free probably not probably not based on the youtube sensation lena snow yeah oh luna okay yeah apparently there's also another lena snow who's you don't want to search images of safe search turned off

okay here she is so who is this yeah future okay let's see superhero lunisnow agents of Atlas War of the realms Marvel universe Earth 616

I've never seen this girl she's on the cover there is no data about her on the Marvel database according to comic vine after being exposed to

an advanced cold fusion energy experiment uh see seal he is the name of the character got the power of cryokinesis now dubbed luna snow she has started a career as a superhero and a k-pop star okay uh okay all right her comic book debut was 2019's war of the realms new agent of atlas issue one by gregg pack so okay all right so been around for a bit comics first yeah very soriama uh style art on some of this stuff. Yeah.

So she's, I mean, that's very reminiscent of, uh, oh, no, I guess, I guess, uh, what's her name in Overwatch is a, is a, is a, E-sport star, not Tracer, um, the other one, the one in the mech. What's her name? Oh, uh, uh, well, uh, KT data. That's who it is. It's KT data. I can't remember her name.

I cannot remember any, DJ, DJ, DG, Digit, Der, D. D diva. Thank you, Dr. Calhoun. Thanks for putting us out of our misery there. Freaking diva, dude. Anyway, we'll see how that all goes. Hey, are flights ever on time anymore? Have you ever, have you noticed lately?

Like, you had your mom get in real late the other day? Yeah, mom got it late. I think flights are on time if you happen to be flying out first thing in the morning. Like, if you're the first flight of the day or one of the first flights of the day, you get out on time. I don't know, it feels like one of those things where you only notice the other line is moving faster when, when, early, you only, what's the phrase? You only notice the things are late when, when, um, it's like the store one. Let me, let me, let me back up and try this one more time. The other line moves faster if you.

Well, that's a different thing, but it's like a situation where you don't notice it when it's on time. but you do notice it when it's not. And so it feels like it's always... Oh, it's like when your internet's up, you never think about it. When it's down, it's like central. Exactly. Okay.

I get that. Well, anyway, Kim went to pick up her cousin yesterday from the airport to help celebrate Julie's birthday. And I think that may have been like the earliest flight. And that thing was like two and a half hours late. I don't get it. Everybody I talk to says their flights are late right now. And I don't know if that's just a, like you said,

maybe it's just a perception thing. or maybe airlines suck. I don't know. They got parts falling out of the air. We got Boeing bits all over the floor. Like, what's going on, man? Yeah. What, when did her flight come in?

What time? It was supposed to be yesterday. She left Mississippi at, I forget what time, but she was supposed to get here like 10. So that would have meant four hours. So she would have left, oh, what's four hours before 10? My brain isn't working.

Six? Six a.m. flight. It's a pretty early flight. Okay. Yeah, they should have been one of the first flights of the day. So it should have been, God, I would have expected that one to be safe. Especially just a little weenie domestic one from there. And they had to reroute her to L.A.

So she was supposed to go to Atlanta, then us. Something happened. And they ended up routing her to L.A. and then us. So it's like this most wrap-around, like, comeback move ever. It's just weird. I was curious if anyone out there's having, like, similar problems or anything. Have you ever been on a plane where a thing fell off or a landing gear didn't do what it's supposed to do or anything like that? No. I'm trying to think of the worst, the worst thing like

that that's ever happened. They ran out a little bottles of gin, I think might have been the worst airplane experience I've ever had. Wow, you're doing all right then. You're doing all right then. I started, I actually, as soon as they said that, I assumed the position, I tucked my head between my legs and said, and just prayed for it to be over. Yeah. When there's no alcohol, that's the position you're supposed to take. I've heard. That's what I heard. I've been in situations where we had that like quick drop kind of thing where if you

weren't in your seat, if you weren't buckled in, you got air. Yeah, I hate that. I've been in flights like that, but that's really been the worst of it. The worst for me was that flight to China and we smelled burning and we were over the Atlantic or the Pacific and the flight attendant came and said, nothing to be alarmed about even though she was running at the time yeah she's like nothing to be alarmed about and she says it's just one of the intake uh um air intake things has burned out and uh so that's why it smells this way we're not you know it's nothing more

than that and that was as close as i ever got in any kind of disaster but when we smelled it we didn't know we thought oh yeah your mind immediately goes to what what's the worst thing that this could possibly be because your mind prepares itself for that sort of thing. It really, it was bad. It was like a toaster had died or something. The smell, oh, geez. Smelled plastic and metal. And I'm like, I'm going down today.

This is it. We're going down in the Pacific. They're going to be a movie about us. We're going to have to eat each other if we survive. It's all going to be bad. Yeah. And then she came and said everything would be fine. And so I resumed playing Age of Empires 2 on a notebook.

I did that my whole flight Back of the day when we were just Doing the newspaper sales thing Our first Laptop was the Mac Portable And if you remember this thing It was the size of Like an electric typewriter

And it had a little flip-up panel About yay big That had the screen a little tiny screen maybe the size of my screen on my iPhone Pro Max

whatever and it was an LCD screen and all we could do like what games we have glider yeah we could play glider and that was about it

there it is chat paper airplane that you tried to get over the air vents to like get it up so that you could fly it over the candle and then yeah that's it right there

is that the one yeah That thing, you could barely call that thing a laptop because it took over way more of your lap. Look, a full-size keyboard with a numeric keypan on that thing. It's monstrous. It's so freaking huge. This is also the, this is the not jobs years. This is, what's his name?

Oh, I think, no, I thought this was before. Was it not? It was, uh, well, he came back in 97, so, uh, what would this have been? This would have been. What's his face? What was that guy's name? the guy who introduced the Performa Line and the

Power Computing The Pepsi guy, Pepsi executive Scully. Scully. This is the Scully era. Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm pretty sure as soon as As soon as Jobs came back, he went, tossed all this shit out

and then made everything funny colors and said we're starting over. I could have sworn that this was before that, but you're probably right. You're better with years than I am. That whole beige thing, you know? Yeah, yeah. That's a Scully problem.

Oh, no, no. The Mac, uh, the first ones that were beige. Those were white. Weren't they white or were they beige? I guess they were kind of beige. I thought they were beige. Like the SC 30? So beige.

Yeah, they're pretty beige. You're right. Bezier than a dockers store that those things. I can never tell. Like some of them are old, so they look beigeer than they should be. You know what I mean? Right. Like they might have started white.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They turned beige about a month after you, bottom. But it felt like the minute he got back, he's like, all right, make me 12 iMacs and make them funky colors and do the eyebook thing and make those all stupid color. Like he just felt like that was the big plan, which worked. It obviously worked. It was a good move. That's great. But boy. I forgot about Jean-Louis Gassie as well. Yeah. He was there for a bit. Emilio, Emilio and Skelly and Jean-Lu Kessi. It was a weird time. Patrick Bezier. That's actually a great title.

I kind of like that. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Well, anyway, flights, they're dumb. Oh, we shouldn't throw away soap, according to Senior Geek. And he wrote in, I didn't write in, he called in, and here's what he had to say. Hey, there, this is Gary, the Senior Geek, and I was just listening to TMS. And you guys were talking about throwing away soap? You don't throw away soap.

It's still soap. If you've got a little sliver, you get it wet. And you take your new bar and you get it wet and you press them together and you have a bar of soap. Maybe it's my Scottish ancestry or the fact that I had parents that grew up from the Depression, but don't throw away soap. Wait a minute. So you actually grind the old sliver into your new bar? Not really grind it. You just basically adhere it.

We do this. So like you do, so you end up, you're at the very last dregs and you've got this like little silver surfer surfboard of soap that is, you know, super thin you have your new bar of soap you get both of them wet while you're sitting in there a shower and you slap both of them together you um you maybe kind of rub it around your hands a little bit and the old bar adheres to the new bar and you have a you have a hybrid uh symbiotic relationship uh with your new soap so this makes sense to me but what if you're using so we have this problem in this house where kim buys soap purely on sale so if she sees a bunch of stuff from Dr. Squatch.

Are you going to actually ask if they're incompatible? Well, it's sometimes, well, this is genuine question because this stuff will come like with a bunch of bits in it and like. Yeah, like little little chunks. We have that currently with our soap. Like it. So how do you take a bar like ivory and mush it? Do you mush that into one of those?

Still do. Yeah. They're all compatible. You can, you can mush an ivory into an Irish spring or that weird craft soap that you got at the farmers market that you could you could barely use for the first couple weeks because it's all sharp angles like you're washing your armpits with a craps dice yeah i like though i like the hard the hard edge ones are uh you got to give those a few washes before things you really do yeah it's

like like you basically are your your 20 grit sandpaper your body is and it's taking down yeah and some of those like you wear them down you get to like the center of them and there's like bark and shit in there. There's like whole shards of stuff. So all right. You know what? This makes sense to me. I've just never thought about it before. About putting the old sliver on

the new bar and having them. It makes sense to me like the physics work, all that stuff. Who cares if it's an odd color and doesn't matter? Who cares? It's soap. Yeah. A little Frankensoap. Bobby Frankensoap is what you end up with. Next time I'm doing that. I'm taking the current bar when it gets

down to nothing and I'm putting it on the next bar. Perfectly cromulent soap is what it is. And I'm sure we will, like his, like Gary's parents in the Dust Bowl, we will live long and prosper, all right? Because our soap went further. I just wish Gary would call and have three minutes of, hi, this is Gary Fisher, a senior geek, formerly of Lantronics, formerly of Lot B, formerly of Batu, formerly. You really want to really want to get everything. all of his his A.A.s. Balls in your court, Gary.

Yeah. You call us. Make it happen, Gary. Come on. Come on. You have the power. Brian, tell me about the Spiderverse thing going on.

What is this? Dude, yeah. So not only did we get this new trailer for the game, Marvel, uh, rivals, um, which I've already been playing. I'm already on the alpha list. I've been playing it, uh, since we started the show. It's really good. Scott, I'm really enjoying this new game from NetE's.

Thumbs up. Um, there's a new Spiderverse short film from the, Spider vs. People, it is kind of like a charity thing, like a, uh, looks like a mental health kind of, um, a little seven minute short film, but it's in the same style. It's really,

really good. It's called the spider within, uh, gross. And, um, it's, it's your Miles Morales business, uh, across the spider's. Is this like voiced and stuff or is it just like a visual deal? Yeah, voiced. I think it even's even got what I think might be a post Malone

song in it or something post malone like cool cool some mumble rapy sort of vibe okay that's not fine there you go nailed it oh this looks great yeah a little preview here seven minutes seven minutes get a little enjoyment of that uh later on after the show people and uh that's right looks like it's only oh yeah no you're right oh that's with credit so yeah about six minutes of stuff seven a minute of credits This is more Spider-Verse than you. You didn't even know you were going to get more.

So go get it. You didn't think you were going to get any Spider-Verse in 2024. Well, you are. Yeah. So get a taste. Dive in, lay in there. Right. Let's talk about magnets.

How do they work? Magnets. How do they work? So you remember, previously on TMS, we had this light that I have suspended from my ceiling behind me. Yeah. This Hugo. It's basically like a half-sphere light. that is you can plug it in and it'll work for a long time but you can also pull that plug it's got a battery inside there and it's fully controllable by an app to have whatever color it can simulate candle flicker all that stuff and um i had 3d printed a little cage for it with four uh fingers and you put a rubber band around the fingers on opposite sides to hold that thing in well the the rubber bands eventually break maybe from the heat or whatever sure um just

time and then the light comes crashing to the floor and it's hard plastic it survives it maybe you know the the front bezel pops off but i can pop it back on right so i decided all right i'm a 3d modeler kind of dude sure and uh i can fix this i can make something work so i took the original prongs and re got back into the modeling program and put little holes in each one the size 7mm wide by 3 millimeters deep and jammed magnets in there and then made an outer ring also with matching holes that you put magnets in and then it goes chunk and it goes together stays forever stays forever and so i put the the hugo in there it's got a little thing that hooks onto my ceiling i put it up there and guess what magnets oh there's a little heavier than those

magnets could handle so the front bezel with the magnets popped off. I didn't want to put anything that they need to glue because I don't want that thing permanently encased in that cage. So right now I've got it held together with a painter's tape. Oh my. The current version

held together with painters tape. But working on a new one that is going to use what do they call those? They're little set screws. You put them in with a soldering iron, right? You like

Oh, I don't know what that is. They're brass, and you push them in, and they've got a metal threaded hole that you can then take an M5 screw and screw in. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, that makes sense. That'll hold forever is what that is. Heat set inserts, exactly. And then if I need to take that thing out, I just take it off the deal. Chook, chook, chook, chook, chook, chook, unscrew four little screws, and I'm set.

Nice. Anyone else have one of these lights? Contact Brian, and he'll give you the deeds. That's right. I will, once this thing is up, that I will put these up on like Colts 3D or Thingiverse or whatever, but... Does the light do anything cool?

Like, does it throb? Does it... Yeah, yeah. Can you dance? You can simulate, let's see. Let's do some fun stuff with the light, shall we? Yeah, do it. Live, live people, you're...

This is your day. That's right. Okay, so here's my little mount, the little plastic cage with the painter's tape holding things together. um so and this thing is obviously charged not plugged in all the time it's charged yep exactly um it's super glowy um i did try to put a uh a space here for so i can insert a pen yeah and change the color it's too bright i think you can't really see yeah so here's like a little soft oh i see yellow it's really it's really it's hard to see unless i get really far back maybe it's they didn't give you one of these uh deals to to control it no no but i can control it also with an app okay But there's a button on the back that just like, you know, your typical presets. I think this is the, nope, that's not candle.

One of these is candle. You know, take candle. No take candle. No take candle. Is this the candle one? There's one where it just flickers like a candle. It's really nice and pleasant. Oh, here it is, yeah.

So this is kind of candle-like. Again, so bright in the camera you can't tell, but it's hard to see. Exactly. I-Corps says, yep, I see white, white, more white, white, also white and white. Yeah. Lots of white. Yeah. It's the whitest light that ever was white. But if you're in the room, oh, man. Yeah, it's a nice, it's a nice, pleasing. Oh, I did that thing.

And this is a Phillips Hugh joint? Phillips Hugh, yeah. You know what? I'm telling you. Phillips makes shit that never breaks. I don't know if you've noticed. Yeah, they do. Everything else in the world will break. If you buy something at Phillips, and I don't just mean their lights. They're freaking nose trimmers.

They're vibrating toothbrush things. Whatever. They last a thousand years. You do. In 2,000 years when some space age archaeologist is digging up our rubble because we've killed ourselves. They're going to be digging through it. They're going to find a toothbrush that goes when they see it. It'll work.

They can pull it up and do their teeth. It's crazy. Yep. Anyway. So anyway, yeah, it's, I love this thing. And I love its portability. I have two of them in the room here. This one hangs behind my TV and cast light down on my side table here.

And I can kind of change that depending on what I'm working on. Make it bright if I need to write something or make it, you know, a color if I need mood or atmosphere while I'm playing D&D. That's cool. See, that's huge. That's huge. Yeah. We all got it. Everybody in the chat, get it?

Because we made a good joke there. All right. We really drove that one. That was a good one. All right. Let's do this good one. Joining us right now, we have Brian Dunaway who joins us every Wednesday and Monday for a little game show. And he won't be here next Monday because he got a thing.

But today he's here. Hi, Brian. How are you? Today he is here. Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. I got a thing. You got a thing. You better get that to look at it.

Yeah. Go have your thing looked at. It's nothing. Yeah, yeah. It's going to take all day. All Monday. All Monday. We got a thing.

Long. We're going to play a game, but I first have to add, let's see if I can do it easily, a person to the call, so you can participate in today's gamage. We have one clown baby who's been a long time member of the community, but first time on here, hello, clown baby. Hello, clown baby. How are you? I am excellent.

How are you? Oh, fantastic. I'm really glad that I expected to hear from clown baby. What'd you expect? Would you expect? You think it was going to be I was expecting a little I thought it was going to go

Yeah yeah I thought it's going to be like Weh Ha ha ha Or something I don't know Wow I'm not your clown No

I'm ready to play some Todd Pooley fuel Oh man Clowns freak me out Even when we're just doing voices I don't like it But this is a clown That doesn't scare us Because he's a super nice guy

And we're going to play a game With him Brian Ivitt's going to have to explain These rules And what clown baby stands to win today if successful. What do we got? Rule number one, Scott, is log into the game, but

it's time to play the tadpulley feud. I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics. Scott and Briner are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us, and it's their job to see how many of those answers who they can guess. A clown, baby, your job is more important than ever. I don't know really how important your job is. I say that every

week, but I really don't know how important your job is, but today, today, right now, it's more important than ever because you're going to be working with one of these two chuckleheads. And if your team wins, you get a prize package that includes Marvel Rivals. Can't play until April though. No, sorry, it's free to play. Destroyer, the

U-boat Hunter, and Solstice, spelled like Soul Sister. Oh, Soul Sister. All right. Can I also say that I don't do Steam? I am a council player, so you can just gift those in the chat. I'm just

for a good time and a vibe. I don't do like Steam. I don't like Steam. I don't like Steam. How about How about colorful colors for Nintendo Switch? Or I think they might even have like some PS4 codes.

Oh, they're all PlayStation VR. Got a PlayStation VR? I doubt it. No. Nope. No, you're weirdo. All right. You'll give them colors and then we'll donate all the steam stuff.

That's fine. No problem with that. Exactly. Sure. Cool. Awesome. All right. All right. Let's get to the. game uh let's see here we go you guys are both logged in put your hands on your buzzers

we asked 458 tadpullers to give their best answer to this name a time travel film or tv show um quantum my god just say it i am damn it quantum quantum leap show me oh boy number three Quantum Leap. Two answers will be it, Brian. Name a time travel, film, or TV show. Back to the future, please. Show me book Until the future. It's your kids, Marty.

Number one answer on the board. That means, Brian, you and Clown Baby can be working together to figure this stuff out. Yes, I think we're going to do well today. Is Ibbett's favorite subject time travel it is yes clown baby yes hey do you have a you have a pick uh

uh doctor who i was going to say doctor who we're on the same page that's a great choice right let's look at those time lords show me uh number two is it bigger on the inside what i say i told you it was number two like as i said it show me doctor who is it how many points did they get for that uh two points sadly so it's tied right now three to three that was three to three three right right excellent excellent oh who's your favorite clown baby who's your favorite doctor who i'm going to go with tom baker do you have a have a different one oh tom baker doctor three i think is he number three doctor three he is doctor number four fourth doctor yeah i think that's right the original stuff i have no idea but tenant tenant was mine Yeah, tenant's pretty great. David Tennant.

Yeah, I'd probably go tenant. I just feel like Baker's so iconic, man. He's got that. He really is. He's the look of, yeah, yeah, for sure. We were all kids when that was on, and so I don't know. All right, you chuckleheads. Let's travel through time.

I know one that I've watched a lot lately, and I'm just not sure about the tad pool. Do you have another one? I have one, but let's see what you had to say first. no what are you thinking i'm thinking i i i watch the crap out of loki on disney employers a lot of time traveling and in and and hopping around and branchings of the timelines and stuff but is that how the tadpool works i'm going to say loki baby

do loki all right show me loki number eight good pick yeah that's good high points uh i'm worried me i know yeah i like that pause. Eight, uh, eight, uh, eight points gives you 11 to Scots three. Right, right. Hmm. All right. We'll see. He has the top three. Let's, well, it'll be number four. I'm time traveling. What do you, what do you, what do you got, you got any? I am drawn a black. No, that's fine. That's fine. Good, good, good, good. No, no, no. All right. How about this? Good, good, good. No, no, no. Yeah. No, no. No, I don't want, I don't want to give, you know,

I don't want to just give out answers. No, I get you. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry, that's a clip from a thing. Looper is great, and, by the way, one of Ibb's favorite movies. So, um, both of those, both of those statements are wrong. Everything, everything you just said is wrong.

All right, let's go, let's go, let's go Looper, even though I have one that I think that I, it's going to do well, but go ahead. Let's do. All right. Show me people disappearing in a cornfield, but the gun they brought to the cornfield just still stays there and then falls into the grass who brought it there if there was nobody there to bring it there through time who knows show me looper number four got to know your audience all right man exactly right well i'm thinking about some other fools that that like to time travel

a pair of time travelers um they're pretty cool uh and by the way for the record i think the time travel and looper is hot garbage, but the rest of the movie I'm, I'm totally fine with. And I love the makeup that they did on, uh, on what's his face to make him look like Bruce Willis. I think that, you know, that's, uh, it's worth seeing the movie, worth seeing the movie alone. Once again, I may be aging myself once again, but one of my favorite time movies has got to be Bill and Ted hopping through time. Yeah.

What do you think about that? I like it. You like it? All right. Then you know what? We're going to get, we're going to get in with death. and we're going to go travel through time and be excellent to one another.

Show me Bill and Ted and Rufus. Number six. That movie doesn't work without Rufus, right? Why is it just Bill and Ted's excellent venture? Because you need Rufus in there as well. Right, right, right, right. Six more points gives you, gives you 21 points to Scott's three. I'm waiting for his chance to steal.

Yeah, I'm going to strike. I wonder if, I wonder if bogus journey's on there. Hmm, because he specifically said excellent adventure on here, not bogus journey. so I don't know. Okay. But I would have put all those. Do you put all those together? Yeah, but can you tell us?

Like, did you do the Bill and Ted's? I did not merge, uh, Oh, interesting. For this one. Interesting. Now that is interesting. All right. We've watched an ass ton of, uh, of time travel movies on film sack.

Yeah, we have. And one of the first ones that I remember, um, was, was, uh, the time cop. and those super futuristic carters they had in there. They were so cool. That movie's awesome. Yeah. What do you think about that clown baby? Baby of clowns.

Um, yeah, let's go for it. Yeah. All right. Clown baby says, says, sure, sounds good. Clown baby is a man of fewer. Yeah, it's sort of like, yeah, it sounds all right. Sure. Let's do that.

All right. Show me, time cop, don't let them touch, or else they'll turn into a big blob of goo. oh i'm actually a little shocked by that i thought that would be there uh time cop one of my favorites again uh time travel uh very faulty time travel in it still only made it number 39 in the list wow okay okay yeah um that makes me nervous about the one i was thinking of because it's in that vein so i'm gonna say i can't uh hmm not well whatever i want clown baby to win so if I lose, fine.

I'm going to say Groundhog Day because it's kind of a form of time travel. You keep going back in time. Time loop movies are technically time travel movies, yes. Just go with that. Show me Groundhog Day. Ow!

Yeah. Shit. People did say it number 30 in the list. So Groundhog Day did come up, but not high enough to make the top 10. Still, the score we're looking at is 21 to 3. Sorry, I was in the list

marking off the things that you guys said that were not in list so that when I run down the list, I can skip those. 21's a pretty good point so far. Holy shit. Man, not bad. I hope you didn't do anything mean to us like Back to the Future 2. You said you didn't combine series and that kind of worries me.

I didn't combine series and I went with what the Tadpool said. Oh, man. I went with what the Tadpool said. Well, since they did not like my time cop, I'm pretty sure they're not going to like my Michael Crichton timeline answer, even though that's an excellent time travel movie. That's a film sack froth right there.

I like that. Do that. Um, what do you think, Cloud baby? You got any, this has just been like is, uh, it's getting to you? You just can't wait to say it. I'm over here, grooming with excitement. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I have a few more, but they're kind of like.

It's like watching Ruby Rodtuck to Corbyn Dallas in, uh, it's like that. It's like fifth element like a hot tub time machine. Ooh, see, hot tub time machine is a great thing because I was going to say something like, uh, yeah, I'm not going to say. I'm not going to say it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't have got any other answers. Let's go with the hot, we're getting our time machine. This is a hot tub. Hot tub time machine.

Where are you? Not on this list. Not on this list. Uh, let's see. Number 12. like higher than Groundhog Day or time time. So good, very good guess.

All right. I'm going to go with Terminator because he goes. There you go. That was next to my list. Kyle Reese back there just to do the nasty with what's her name. Sure. Sure.

All right. Show me Terminator. Oh, come on. He'll be back at number 15 is where he'll be back. That is my least favorite use. I love Terminator, but I hate that use of time travel, because it is so not makes sense.

There's no sense to it. Like your guy sends you, the guy that sends you back to fix the time thing, then you have sex with the lady in the past, and now that's the kid who sent you back? That's FTA. Is that worse than, uh,

so how did that happen the first time? Right. Yeah, it's all borked. It's so bad. If you were there to impregnate her the very first time, how did he send you back the first time? Exactly.

Let's ask Qui Lewis. Maybe he knows. come back in time Easy top might Oh that's not a bet Yeah It's pretty good a point Yeah that was the one I was going to use

Hot-tup time machine was a great one I think Terminator was a good one But obviously You know What you're gonna do Yeah Let's see what we got here

Back to the future Are still four answers Left on the board score 21 to 3 Yep no pressure You got five minutes No pressure Five minutes Yeah

Tom Merritt would be waiting waiting patiently. Oh, in that case, oh, oh, so if I go long, then Tom Merritt. Then you have to time travel back and give us an answer more quickly. That's right. Inconvenanced? That's right. He's a busy. So we did.

He's a busy guy. He's got important shit to do all day. He sounds like he wants to inconvenience, Tom. Sounds like I've slowed down a lot since you gave me that option. Hmm. Now I got a thing. This is your final strike, by the way. Yeah, you got one strike left, dude.

This is all the power I have left, so I got to, like, you know. I've got to really work it. Milk it for every drop, yes. Milk it for every. Okay. Shoot, this is getting tough now because we've named almost all the big ones. I mean, there's a bunch of stuff that has time travel elements in it, but it's not necessarily completely focused around that.

I assume that that's Brian's. The one rule here is, well, there's no rules because it's tadpole, but I'm, but I guess, I'm assuming people mostly answered things where the crux of the story is about time travel. Otherwise, you could have a million shows. It's the tadpole there, you know, there, at least, at least the things that get brought up most commonly are going to have the crux of the plot is about time travel. Yeah, because you can have like three episodes of Futurama are about time travel, but no one's going to say Futurama. Right, right, like Supernatural or something like that TV show or something. Maybe it has some, you know,

who knows, a bunch of a million different. I'm trying to think of all the really like the WB shows. Is there any time travel on that? Can't think of any. All right. So, uh, Back to the Future, too. Or I'm seeing some like Avengers end game.

See, that's kind of what I was thinking. Avengers does a little bit of time traveling. Most of us outside of what we see though, right? But, hmm, do you want to say Avengers? It sounds like a smart-ass answer. Do it. That would be right. It's the perfect answer when three minutes are left.

it's perfect is that you saying is that your answer well let's do it then let's do it let's do it time is running out show me adventures end game number five answer on the board I knew it yeah we're let's see 719 plus 729

still has a chance if really wow yeah okay you have a chance to win But a clown baby has definitely won these prizes that he doesn't want. No, no, the way to say it is generously passing them on to someone else. Generously passing on to somebody in the tadpole, which will give away after. It'll be very nice. Very kind. All right, fine.

How about this? List time travel to the lake house. What do you think? Yeah, dude. Put it in. Time travel to the lakehouse. Love it. Excellent.

Let's get in it. Show me the lake house. Time travel is in the mailbox. I like that movie. I'll go on the record. I like that. Surprisingly, no. And I don't know how it's even possible that nobody said the lakehouse.

I don't know how it's possible that, yeah. All right. Old school favorite of mine, time bandits. Please tell me it's a good one. Oh, I didn't think a time band. It's evil. Even. Great.

Time Bandits. Oh, amazingly enough. Time Bandits number, where is it? It's on the list somewhere. It's low on the list. 38, surprisingly. Again, really low.

One of my favorites, too. It's really weird. Your Buzz killed my view, by the way. I don't know what happened. Killed mine, too. It's not connect the server. Yeah, I'm getting that same thing. Should I reload?

says reload i'm gonna try reloading first and see if i can do it okay doesn't work then i am interested about edge of tomorrow with what we did on film site because if the groundhog didn't make it i mean how is right tom cruz's groundhog day gonna yeah try reloading now scow i'll hit reload here see what oh i got an error error occurred processing your request development mode okay let me try i'll just try to get in again okay uh there we go i'm in but it's showing zeros for me yeah it uh it i still have mind up you need to know the uh you're still working well i know but i can still see it i can still see i can still i can still flip the uh the three remaining answers i think okay all right it's all i can't see them so you guys are uh it's a theater of the mind chat room oh okay all right

number seven a lot of people in the tadpool said sliders sliders oh sliders of course on the list. Yep. Number nine. You guys, some of you people are really old. I think sliders is alternate timelines.

It is. You're not traveling through different timelines as you are dimensions, right? Alternate universe's multiverse kind of stuff.

Yeah. Yep. Yeah, that's all I see too. But at least you're seeing when the things flip. Yeah. Number nine, you guys are old,

time tunnel. Time tunnel. Time tunnel. Time tunnel. That is an old Irwin. Allen TV show, I think. It was like 60s.

I don't remember that at all. What is that? Yeah, what is that? I think it might have been UK show. So maybe it wasn't Irwin Allen. Yeah. And then finally, number 10, Voyagers.

I have not seen Voyagers, but people are really limited voyagers to me. Of course, with the stopwatch. That's some, that's a deep cut. It's deep cut. Let me run through the rest of these. interstellar, more newer version of that. Primer, Star Trek. Not sure. A lot of

people just flat out said Star Trek. Travelers, 112263, that cool Stephen King thing about the Kennedy assassination. Twelve monkeys. Great choice there. Butterfly effect, dark. Was butterfly effect time travel?

Sure. Well, no, it was about. I guess it was multiverses, right? Because he went back and changed what he He did to influence the future. You're right. You're right. And it had a butterfly effect.

That's how that worked. It was very short time travel, but it was time travel. That's right. He said the thing, dark, which I think was great. Great series on Netflix, German series. Fantastic. Futurama begins with time travel, basically, or no, really time stasis, more than time travel. Indiana Jones on the dial of destiny, Outlander, Star Trek 4, The Voyage Home, Terminator 2,

Not necessarily the crux of the story, but an element added to the story to allow them to time travel. Journeyman Jumpers, Land of the Lost, Legends of Tomorrow, Life on Mars. Was I had the Lost really time travel, or was that just the land? No, they just found, I thought they just found an old, uh, an old, like, I thought it was underground, I thought it was underground, like. The movies, maybe it was the movie and the TV. show went back in time. I can't remember. Now they think about it. I think they did just find like a little Savage Land

clown baby or no getting my clowns mixed up uh this one is uh you know this is clown baby i've got like three clown people who text us all the time on Discord. You're the one clown person that won though today and you get this. Congratulations. That's right. They all fit in one car. Congratulations. Well done. We will be giving these away per your request to anyone who's interested. I guess we'll figure out how to do that. I don't know how to do it. We'll do at the end of the show and yeah, I'll figure out something. I should have saved one of the answers. I should have saved 11 to see who could guess, but that's all right. It'll well it'll give somebody out there a happy day and we appreciate you doing that. Thank you so much for playing. saying, hey, Brian Dunaway, guess what? This weekend, we're doing the internet. I'm not hanging up on you yet. We're doing Play Retro, and Play Retro is going to be super interesting because why.

Tell us what we're flying. We are going back to some Vector Graphics, 1979's arcade classic Asteroids. Yeah. Oh, nice. We're going to talk about the whole series. Asteroids, Deluxe, and we'll talk about Blasteroids, which is the one that used Raster Graphics, as opposed to the previous two, which were vector. And they're an amazing series that no one talks about it anymore.

I could play that game right now if it was in front of me. I love that game. Hoping your wedge and go shoot some asteroids. Yep. Don't hit hyperspace. It'll kill you more than it won't. All right. That button sucks.

It sucks ass. Random. Very random. All right. Well, there you have it. Done away. Kiss our butts. No, you.

All right. That was perfect. We're going to take a break when we come back from said break. We're going to spend some time with Tom Merritt. Oh, before we do, let's just say this break is brought to us by somebody. Brian, who's this. break brought to us by. Sure, this break is brought to us by. I was looking for the song information. Introducing the Sage app, an all-in-one permaculture garden designer, calendar, and

planner. Take the guesswork out of what to plant and when to plant it and design the ultimate sustainable garden. Sage uses AI to help you design and grow your food garden in a holistic and abundant way. It's a collaborative community effort to build more resilient systems in our gardens. Support us as we launch our Kickstarter campaign. on and after March 18th. You can't launch it both on and after. March 18th, 2020,

which means it's live now. Search for Sage app on Kickstarter. Nice. Go look at it. All right. We're going to take a break. Tom Merritt is in the wings. He'll be here shortly.

But before that, a song, Brian, if you please. Man, talk about, I did not plan for this timing to be perfect. But the song is called Slowdown Time. This is by, a brand new duo, Virginia-based duo called Illiterate Light. They have a really cool kind of retro-futuristic logo.

Very cool. It's Jeff Gorman and Jake Cochran. The brand-new EP is called Slowdown Time. It came out last week. This is the title track. It is Slowdown Time by Illiterate Light. Finally broke down near San Francisco crashing waves, re-reviewed hero, moment the rain started falling, finally all sunken, nobody loves you when you're the bottom dog in the fight and the money is long gone strumming alone. on a six-string watching the storm rolling I'm more than 1,000 miles from home

and I'm finally breaking just trying to slow down time just trying to slow down time just trying to slow down time got a million's things On my mind Just trying to slow down the time So I think I'll settle down outside Toledo Wife and kids and a dog named Beto Strumming alone on a six string Watching the storm rolling

Nobody's sucking my soul in Stealing my joy Ain't nobody else gonna ride my story when the morning rain starts falling I feel it on my skin I'd start another fire in the stove but I'm only dreaming just trying to slow down time just trying to slow down time just trying to slow down time Got a million things on my mind. Just trying to slow down time. 21st century man in the mirror gonna play my hand till the dealer won't deal i don't care who forgets me

i'm not here to complain i got a one-way ticket to another planet light years out i'm the first to land it Strumming alone on a six string Watching the storm rolling Well, you got to love a product with this many options and add-ons. See, that's where you make your money. You take your optional rear bag. Now, if I had a amazing dealership, I guarantee you If you walked into my showroom,

you'd ride out with that bag behind your ass. Hey. Brian, I really need to know who that was again. I'll tell you, I'll tell you one more time. The band is Illiterate Light. They're a duo. That's the title track from their brand new EP, Slow Down Time. Nice.

Slow down time. Did you mean to do that? that with today's topic? No, completely unplanned. That's wild, dude. Yeah. I can't believe you did that. Amazing. Hey, guess who's with us, everybody? It's the internet's own Tom Merritt,

internet's sweetheart and pop star, extraordinary Tom Merritt. It's also a tech expert. Thank you for recognizing that, Scott. Well, I figured it was due. We've been going a long time without acknowledging your other life, and now we can say it openly. As G. Idol

would say I'm a top super lady that's right only you would know that what Brian is to Marvel Tom is to K-pop and you guys you have no idea how true that is well look at look at what we've got here we've got Tom here we're going to talk about what's going on in the tech world before the daily tech

news show happens today Tom what are we what are we digging into yeah and it's a it's a Wednesday where I will be on Daily Tech News show you will be on Daily Tech News show And that one of these weird days we've had recently where it's not all coming together. So I'm looking forward to that. I know you've got some good stuff to talk about today regarding Phil Spencer's thoughts on the world of gaming.

But we'll also probably be talking about the official edition of Hulu to Disney Plus. Have you seen this? Yeah. And I saw the logo change. They did a color change. I don't know if that was in concert with this. It seems like it's greener. so yeah they added a little bit of a hulu green to the Disney blue and and a gradient I guess I don't know you tell me you're the artist yeah it looks like it's not quite it's not the full Hulu green for sure and also the it's also a boulder I looked really close of this because I get weird about this kind of thing yeah yeah but they bolded the little plus is larger just barely the Disney itself is a little thicker emphasizing there's even more yeah yeah but it definitely looks like you

If you're just glancing at it, you'll say, oh, Disney Plus change their color. So if I've got the combo, so we do that, Hulu with TV and ESPN and Disney Plus. So now will I just go to the Disney Plus app to get all my Hulu content? I'm glad you actually added the TV, the live TV stuff, because I don't think that's over there. I think you still have to go to the Hulu app for Hulu Live, and that's something to let people know. Disney says we're not getting rid of the Hulu app or keeping the Hulu app. The ESPN Plus content is also definitely not in Disney Plus yet. Right now, it's just the Hulu library.

So, you know, right there next to your Mickey Mouse will be Handmaid's Tale. Oh, lovely. That makes perfect sense to me to put those two things together. Yes, excellent. I don't know if you show up in the other now. There'll be any crossover episodes, but they're all there. A friend, I don't want to have a baby. Hey, F you, I'm in Canada.

So the way this works is, and since we're mentioning this, there are parental controls on all this stuff. The way this works, and you may have seen it because they were testing it for a few months. So some people were seeing it already. But now officially everybody will see the Hulu tile, the way you see a Pixar tile or a Star Wars tile or a Marvel tile. And anything from the Hulu library, so Hulu originals, but also anything they've got acquisition rights to, will be available when you click on that tile the way it would if you were watching it over on the Hulu app. They say that they're going to track progress between the apps. I don't know if that's working yet.

It wasn't working the last time I tried it, but I have not tried it within the past week. So I do know that David Pierce at the Verge, who by the way, David Pierce has been knocking it out of the park at the Verge. The guy's always been an excellent reporter, and he's doing it. excellent work, some of his best work over there. He has an in-depth report with the people who did the back end work to bring Hulu into Disney Plus

and the way they're saying it and this jives with what I know from some other people who work in the business. They have done all of the work on the back end to unify the encoding, the metadata, all these boring things that you never think about and you never see

that cause weird problems on the front end. For example, because Hulu was an independent company for a while before Disney bought out the rest of the owners Hulu stuff was encoded differently than Disney stuff. So when they brought Hulu stuff over, they could have just re-encoded it and said, well, let's just transcode it

and bring it over to Disney. And that would cause weird things like maybe sometimes stuff wouldn't show up if the coding and re-encoding didn't work. They didn't do that. They did the hard work of building a new backend so that everything is encoded the same across everything on the Disney streaming platform.

That way, you could add ESPN to Disney Plus down the road with a lot less work than you had to do this time. And I think that is really, you know, what's interesting about this is, sure, okay, your Hulu stuff shows up in Disney Plus. That's mildly interesting, especially if you're a bundle subscriber like you are, Brian. But what's bigger is that this gives them the opportunity to do all kinds of things. It doesn't mean they'll bring SPN into Disney Plus, but it means they can't. very easily. And they can also bring Disney content into other stuff now. And they can also do all kinds of other things internationally that, you know, were more difficult before. So it kind of opens up a lot of flexibility for Disney, which is important when you're in this, you know, tooth and nail

battle with everybody as consolidation happens in the streaming world. What does it mean for people who are not consolidated with Disney Plus with the three services? I currently subscribe separately to Hulu than I do Disney Plus. I don't have ESPN. Do I, do I, Does this do anything for me? Do I go to Disney Plus and I also have now access to that stuff? I can integrate accounts or something. Do you have the same login for Hulu that you have for Disney Plus? Or are they different login?

Yes, because at one point they told me I had to. Yeah. So you should, and I put this in quotes, you should have a bundle. That's why I'm a little hesitant to say it's going to work for you. But if it's the same account, you're logging into Disney Plus. One of the things they said is, like, we've unified all the accounts now. So we know you're the same person when you're on Hulu or ESPN or Disney.

And so they can do things like, well, we know you're a fan of this team from your ESPN watching behavior. Let's recommend a documentary about them on Disney Plus. So I think you should see. I'll be curious to find out. You should see Hulu content and be able to access it in Disney Plus since it's the same login. Okay. Interesting. And is this true?

bundle those because you'll say funny. Our other, I probably will do that, but are our other markets, um, some same things happening like in Canada with Hulu and stuff? Do we know anything about that? There is no Hulu outside of the United States. Other than Japan, or it's a separate company and it's just licensed brand. Uh, so no, you're not, you're not seeing this anywhere else. Hulu only, only exists in the U.S., so this is only happening in the world. I had no idea. I didn't know that either. So, so. It's confusing because there is a Hulu Japan, uh, but, Like Yahoo in Japan, it's just, they bought the rights to use the name, and it's a different company running. I think it's Rockaton.

I know some of the stuff, like Beau up in Canada, he gets Fargo, which is FX that goes to Hulu immediately. He gets that through his Disney service, but they don't call it Hulu, I guess. That's weird. That's interesting. There was no Hulu. So he's been a little ahead of the game in that that stuff has been available on Disney Plus already for him. And that's true in a lot of parts of the world. Yeah, Star instead of Hulu or Crave, I guess I'll, you Canadians, I don't know what the hell you're doing.

Hot Star or Star is Disney. Stars is not Disney. Right. Yeah. Don't confuse it with Stars. I'd be confusing, yeah. Yeah. I probably just need to go make that unified account.

I mean, I think I'm paying, well, I know I'm paying separately, but I just don't know. If I don't get it, if I don't care about ESPN, am I going to pay more for no reason? Which we don't care about ESPN. No, it's cheaper. It was cheaper for us to do the Hulu. bundle than it was to have Hulu and Disney Plus separate. And we're getting technically ESPN for free even that we don't use it. Yeah.

I do like documentaries on there. So I could do that, I suppose. Oh, yeah, there you are the 20 for 20. Yeah, I like that. Well, anyway, uh, wait, 20, 30 for 30. No, wait. 30 for 30. I get the cheap, Canadian version.

I get this cute Canadian star version of it, which is only 20. Yeah. Well, with that conversion. Yeah. It goes. You know, right now is the best time to watch those. for 20 because you get more than the 30 for 30. Yeah.

Well, that's interesting. I think it'll be fascinating to see how other streamers not compete with this, but it does feel like there's a weird little consolidation phase right now. Overall, like, you know, obviously the way HBO went from HBO being the point of it all to not being the point of it all, to being called Max later, to now having all this discovery Cont. Like, just, it just feels like there's a, there's some shifting going on. And I feel like this strategy is a pretty strong one, you know, as far as content goes. This is Disney realizing that, uh, they're playing a little bit of catch up here. Honestly, because Max already has everything for Warner Brothers Discovery in it now. Like they brought Discovery in. That was the last little bit. Uh, you look at Peacock. It's got all the NBC Universal stuff that it's going to have in there. Yeah. Um, so they, they don't need to bring anybody else in. necessarily. There might be a couple of small things out there, but they started with everything. They didn't have separate apps for major content providers. So this is Disney playing a little

bit of catch-up, mostly because they acquired Hulu. And so they didn't have it when they launched Disney Plus. They only owned a part of it when they launched Disney Plus. And since then, they've acquired the entire thing. So now they can do this. They couldn't really do it before. And you're right. This is a consolidation phase, both internally, like we're seeing with Disney and like what you mentioned with Max, but also Paramount is up for sale. That is no secret. There was an equity group called Apollo that said,

we'll buy the movie studio, because you got some pretty, you know, pretty valuable movie titles there. And Sherry Redstone, who's the chairman of National Amusements, which owns Paramount, said, no, we're not going to sell off one of the most valuable parts

and leave everything else. But she would like to sell the whole thing. And I guess the rumor is now that she's been talking to Skydance, the production company behind stuff like Walking Dead, about merging into Paramount and kind of teeming up there, bringing SkyDance production and movies and some of their IPO. Oh, interesting. Well, that sounds like Paramount's a weird. The one to watch if you're keeping up everybody. I think Paramount's going to get gobbled up by somebody bigger. Maybe they merge with Skydance first.

Yeah. But then I think, you know, like a Comcast or they merge with a Warner Brothers Discovery or even Disney buys them or or Amazon. Who knows? Oh, my gosh. But I do feel like we have people seem confused by this in a way that's understandable. But to me, it's following a very predictable pattern, which is you have a new service. You sell it for cheap to get people to try it because there's a thousand competitors and you want to stand out. And then as those competitors start to fall away,

because they can't compete, then you can start raising the price because you want to sell it at the actual value it is. We saw this with Uber as well. And you start to consolidate. You start to bring in the pieces that work together. And some of those companies that can't keep up will then want to consolidate with other companies. Well, our streaming future is weird, everyone. That's what we know. All hail our streaming overlords. Exactly. What it's going to feel like is like, oh, no, we're losing options. right for a long time it was we have too many options it's going to be like are we not going to have enough options and that's where it gets tricky is are we going to consolidate to too few providers at some point or is the market in this game yeah yeah the same problem as we had with cable uh with that happening i still don't think you'll have cable because you want have regionals oh no i'm just saying we'll have the same problem that we had with cable where where all of a sudden we're getting a bundle where we're getting more things than we want yeah paying more than you want Unless one company, you know, takes over all of it, you'll at least have choice unlike one

people. Yeah, that's true. That's true. And the other thing is like, you know, you can't, none of these are two-year contracts, which is my favorite thing about the streaming era. Like, we're done with that world. I don't never, I'm never doing that again. So if I want to try it and everybody's going to be like, no, thank you. I'm definitely not doing that. Yeah, and just go, yeah, I'm going to cancel in a month. Or sometimes I'll sign up for a thing and know that I'll cancel. on 30 so I'll sign up and the next day I'll cancel it and it'll say well cool your thing's good for 30 days that's a great way to remember that you had a thing that you wanted to cancel is cancel it as soon as you sign up the the little step towards that that we've seen are discounts

for a year-long subscriptions so you have started to see that which is a contract of a sort like you pay for a year in advance it will give you a discount so that's fine don't let it creep too much past that though or I think people get upset oh yeah the two-year commitment crap Those days are so far in my rear view that I forgot I was even driving. So there's that. Tom Merritt, everybody. You know him as Ace Detect and all the socials, but he also has other cool stuff going on besides all this awesome tech work we're doing today for DTNS.

Tom tell people where to go and what to do. Sure. I know that most of you have pre-ordered my new book synced. But I know there's that one of you, and I'm not trying to single you out. I'm not going to call you my name, but I know you meant to go pre-order it, and you just didn't quite get the time together. So this is just my friendly reminder that you can get my book synced, pre-ordered, be one of the first people to get it at Unbound.com. You should be able to go to Tom's New Book.com as well and to redirect you there. But you can go to Unbound.com and just search S-Y-N-C-E-D and pre-order it now. Thank you very much.

Nice. Tom Merritt, everybody. We'll see you later today on DTNS. Boy. I know. See you, Tom. All right. That's, uh, yeah, the streaming world is weird and it will just get weird. God, it really is. Remember what's just like, what's this Netflix thing for 99? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's like, wait a minute. I can do this other thing. I was thinking about that, that time when I was getting the DVDs from Netflix. We talked about that earlier this week. And then they said, by the way, there's also stuff available on streaming. It's like, why would I want to do that one? I can get the DVDs from you whenever I want because there was so little stuff on there.

It's really weird. Now it's like I can't even imagine going back to DVD world. It feels a little overwhelming at times. It is a little, yes, whelming. It is definitely welcoming, if not overwhelming. All right, we're going to get into some of this business. Well, what do you recommend? We're going to talk about recommendals.

That's right, stuff we've seen on streaming services that we think you might like as well. Speaking of streaming. And we bring in Nicole Spagway. think is in the Denver area currently today. I am. Yeah, you sound good. If I opened my window, I can hear you. Yeah, that's great.

That's right. I'm using my daughter's headset. I was like, I don't know if this is going to work, but I'll give it a trap. You know what? I'm going to just say, it sounds better than last week, whatever that was. Yeah, last week was rough. Yeah. So you sound wonderful.

No, no issues. You might want to tell her she can't play Fortnite when you're doing recommendals and just take this headset all the time. I'm going to take your pink headphones that don't really fit my head. also with us Randy Jordan of course hello Randy good morning morning stream I have just unpacked a new rice cooker oh oh I saw your tweet about saying you bite of the old one

yeah Mr. Rice died and Mr. Rice died by by catching on fire which do you oh you wouldn't think of rice could do that but geez yeah I got a new Zogirushi neurofuzzy and I'm just like I cannot wait to make rice in this thing so the new one how long do you have it before it Craped out. 13 years.

Oh my gosh. That's pretty good. Wow. It's almost like Phillips made it. Mr. Rice. You know, Mr. Rice. Mr. Rice, yeah. Is Mr. Rice, so are you, Mr. Rice is a brand not a nickname, right?

Correct. Yes. Yeah. It was the $20. It was the $20.00 rice cooker over at 99 Ranch Market, you know. Because I was hoping you were going to name your new one as well. And I was getting excited. I was hoping so.

I was like, what's the name of the new one? Mrs. Rice. Rice, Rice Jr.? That's, uh, yeah. It's possible. Condoleezza Rice. Like, what are you going to do? Yeah, we got it.

We got a Zoshi Rushi because they're supposed to sing to you. I haven't found out yet, but I'm going to. Well, good luck. Everything sings to you now. It started with the washer dryers. Now everything sings, and I hate it. I hate that trend. You can turn that off, you know.

I know, but that one is the number one pick on wirecutters. So good job. Randy. You probably know that. You probably use that to figure it out. Did a lot of grieving Mr. Rice while looking up and replace me. Yeah. It's like, you know,

your spouse dies two months later you get engaged that's fine how does fuzzy rice taste by the way compared to regular rice i will i will let you know after uh i cook some that sounds terrible doesn't it sound terrible i mean i'm sure it's fine but blah it's not fuzzy right i mean it's just neuro fuzzy rice cooker it uses it uses fuzzy logic to figure out when the rice is done oh well that i can deal with i thought it was like little hairs on the rice or something that sounds bad anyway uh let's get to it we're going to to do some stuff. We're going to recommend some things. Brian, we're going to start with you. You got a clip. Take us where you want us to go. Sure. In this clip, you're going to hear a little bit

of Judy Greer, almost rhymed right there. But they're going to hear a lot of stuff that isn't Judy Greer and from somebody who's not one of the major cast members of this movie. But I just really like this moment in the movie. All right. Here we go. So what do you write? Right poetry. Really? So you're all deep and shit? I don't know, maybe. Well, let's hear one.

Fresno. I don't like it already. Fresno. I don't like it already. Fresno. Lord, why is it so hot? Did you mean for it to be this hot? Or did you leave the house in a hurry,

and Fresno is the oven you forgot to turn off? Fresno. Yes. That smell is dead animal. Do you like it? Fresno. Where is stuff like anything? Fresno. Where the best job I could get is the worst job I've ever had. No hotel guest. I cannot tell you where anything is. If I knew where anything else was, I'd be there. Fresno. that's malcolm barrett who you know from things like better off ted the hurt locker but probably best known for timeless and weirdly again did not mean for that to come up again today um but he's he's a side character your big characters in this thing um which is called addicted to fresno uh it's a 2015 dark comedy um your two main characters uh the two sisters natasha leone and j Judy Greer. And Judy Greer is coming back to town after being away in rehab for sex addiction. And comes back to her, right, as we all are. And comes back to her sister, Natasha Leone. The two of them, for me, make the movie. Now, I come here and I say, oh, my God, this is, here's an incredible TV series, or here's an incredible movie that you must see. Oh, my God, this is so good. I'm not going to say that this week. This is a good movie. It's a capable, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a. a better than acceptable movie. It meets all the things to qualify as a movie and then does a little bit more.

It's not a must-see, but if you like Natasha Leone, if you like Judy Greer, you're going to really like this because they are the best parts of this. Now, the plot is that Judy Ger comes back after being in rehab, stays with her sister, and then joins her at her work where she is a, does housekeeping at a hotel in Fresno. And through some interesting hijinks, she accidentally kills a guest of the hotel and the movie is them covering up the murder. But this movie also has Molly Shannon, Fred Armisen, Ron Livingston, Aubrey Plaza,

first season of Fargo's Alison Tolman, who's fantastic. Camille Nanjani, again, just whenever he's in a scene, he freaking steals it like he did in the Ghostbusters movie. Clay DeVall as I mentioned

Fred Armisen, Molly Shannon, Michael Hitchcock. I mean, it's got an incredible cast. It's surprising this movie isn't a whole lot funnier than it is because it's pretty funny, but it could have been a lot funnier with all the people that are in this thing. But it's still an

entertaining couple of hours or an hour a half, really. I never even heard of this before. No, I stumbled on this thing in the middle of the night when I was like, I can't sleep. I need something to watch. And I said, wait a minute. I saw the cast in this and I said, how have I never heard of this film with this great cast? And I kind of got hooked on it. Jamie Babbit is the director. And didn't go to bed, did you? I did not go to bed. I did. I stayed up and watched the whole damn thing. You know her from directing, but I'm a cheerleader. And And she also directed some episodes of Russian doll, Gilmore Girls, Malcolm in the middle. She's done quite a bit of a TV show guest directing.

But if you saw But I'm a cheerleader, that was the other thing that she's known for. Well, and she's married to the writer, the writer of this movie. Oh, Carrie Dornado. Yeah, they are, they are spouses. And Carrie is written for Rested Development, Community, Portlandia, South Park. so um might be how all these people know each other because there's a lot of stuff certainly there's a lot of crossover right exactly with the acting everything you've named has somebody from this cast in it does yeah so it's you know it's it's not going to you're

not going to walk away from this and say uh i need to tell everybody i know to watch this movie you're going to say yeah thanks brand that was entertaining for an hour and a half and and i enjoyed watching it while i played wordle or something like that Real quick, Judy Greer is crazy, busy always. She's always in time. God, I know. She is in everything. But look at this, 11 gigs in 2015 alone, TV and movies.

And it's stuff ranging from little stuff like this, kind of, you know, indie stuff to Ant Man, which was huge. Jurassic World, the dawn of the planet of the apes thing. She was so busy that year. She was. She seems like she's busy every year. Like she, you know. Yeah, 2017's even more.

16 or 17. Yeah. She's got a great agent. I'd say. And she's my age-appropriate crush. Like she's somebody that I can say, yeah, I really have a little bit of a crush, a little bit of a thing for Judy Greer. And people won't say, oh, you're gross. Yeah.

She was, I'll miss you, oh, 75. So she's got like, let's see. It's so funny because she's got stuff every year, tons of things and then nothing in this year so far. So let's get something out. Let's get something. She's taking a, it's a rebuilding year for, doesn't it take like a while for that stuff to come like it's a pipeline kind of thing sure they could have she could have made a movie three years ago and they're finally

really well yeah always but you'd see it on IMDB as things in development like it's post production or or whatever yeah but to your point like she could have started addicted to Fresno in 2013 for all we know sure sure but I mean but you're looking at IMDB to see that she doesn't have anything in in 2024 she's got stuff lined up but they're all Oh, she does. Okay. Untitled. So there is.

Yeah. Okay. Whoops. Stuff without dates. That kind of thing. Sorry. I clicked a trailer for one of them. Oops.

Anyway, well, that's great. Anyway, it's streaming on Peacock. It's called Addicted to Fresno. And it's a perfectly cromulent. I'm going to use that phrase again. It's a perfectly cramulent film. Nice. I feel like I've heard you say that every day this week.

Yeah. You have not every day. What's the meaning of that word? Tromulant? It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sims Mason's made-up word and it can mean whatever you'd like it to mean. If you ever need it, it's yours to take. People always use that word to mean acceptable.

A capable, acceptable. Yes. Like it's a perfectly cromulent word. So I have dove into the Gen Alpha's slang. And do you know what preppy means? You're unpreppy? No. I know what it used to mean.

What does it mean now? It doesn't be what it used to me. Your eyes on collar popped up. My son constantly, you're so unpreppy mom. I'm like, so I'm not cool. Is that what that means? So unpreppy means you're not cool? Dude, that's effed up.

Where are they getting that from? Who coined that? And I told him, I said, preppy wasn't necessarily a good, to be preppy was not a good thing. No. Like in all the 80s films we watched, the preppy was the bad guy. Slang used to come straight from words, right? Like preppy meant you went to prep school. You dressed like you were in prep school.

Yeah, hippies meant you were hip if you were, yeah, all that stuff. Yeah, now they're taking it and reversing it. Those little bastards. And so like, and if I said no cap to you, do you know what that means? No cap means that don't shake it because it'll spill all over the place. No. Like you tell me, you tell me something. And I'll say, you're like, oh, yeah, that that movie was really.

really, really good on I would say, no cap. It means, no lying, no lying, yeah. Better than 100%. You're not lying. Like, it's, oh, got you. Mayor McCheese, he knows. It's like, it's like, that's almost a video game term. Like, no cap, no limit.

Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. So, yeah, I've been trying to figure out my preteen son slang and skibbitty toilet and, oh, my God. Skibbitty toilet. All right. intervention for the whole generation. No, I don't even care. We're doing a full-blown intervention for that generation.

If they're saying Skibbitty Toilet, they're not saying it. It's the name of a YouTube channel. Oh. Really? It is turned into slang. It's like, I have so much to talk to you about this new generation. Great. Skibbitty toilet.

Let me rush right over there and subscribe to Skibbitty Freakin' Toilet. Click that. How did, man, it's just a word that they say when they're together. So, like, kids nowadays, they don't necessarily say anything. It's just they talk, they talk words at them. Oh, God. It's, I, there's a whole thing about it that I can talk to you about, which might actually flow into my recommendal. Is this, is, would this be a complaint, though, that our parents had or grandparents had when people started saying,

Why is everything cool? There's nothing chilled about, there's nothing the temperature related about this. Why do these kids keep saying things are cool? I mean, maybe. They probably did. Free Rangers is totally, or no, Restream brought is,

it's talking to memes. Like our generation, you know, Gen X, we had TVs and movies and all of that. And, you know, you had rad, like stuff like that.

And, Um, it now it's YouTube shorts, TikToks, quickie, quick things. Like, it's, it's, it's fascinating to me. Yeah, we've ruined, we've ruined a generation. We've screwed them over. That's what we've done. No, it's not. And it's all of, it's really kind of this peer orientation that's happening.

And I'm, and I was going to tell you guys about a book that I'm reading. Um, it's called hold on to your kids. And it's fascinating. And we, I think for me, I was part of, the kind of one of the first generations of peer orientation versus parent orientation. So historically, parents have always been the role model that the kids look up to. But after World War II, parents working, it's peers looking to peers for guidance. Sure. And so the book, if you're having trouble with your kid, highly, highly recommend the book, hold on to your kids. It gives

you some really good insight into maybe the struggles and why kids are rebelling against parents. I was, I'm, I was part of that too. Every kid, every kid is always rebelled against their parents since the beginning of time. Not every, I mean, there's never been, there's never been teenagers that go, yes, father, I will do everything you've always said. But you're a, you're a great example of a parent that was very, very involved in their kids' lives. Yeah. They look through your, you're connected with them. I am, but they still rebelled. That's what it's all about.

They still, but that natural thing for kids to rebel, that isn't, that's not what that book is saying. It goes into a much deeper, a much more view into connection with your kids holding on to them and being okay of,

you know, not being their best friend. Who's the author? Who's the author? Who's the author just so people can go look at it? Who wrote it? Um, I'm reading it on Audible. It's, um, Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Matte.

Yeah. Okay. It's on Amazon looks like. But it's just, as I'm reading it, I'm like, oh, yeah, I had more peer orientation than parent orientation. Um, until my mom started taking me for car rides to go quote unquote shopping. She would basically have my undivided attention for like two and a half hours. And she wouldn't say. a word and I would just talk and talk and talk to her. And that's how she kind of reclaimed her

connection with me. Interesting. So yeah, it's a fascinating book. I highly recommend it. I wasn't planning on going there, but I'm currently listening to it. It's published in 2006, which, so I guess it was kind of aimed at millennials then, but probably applicable to whoever. So go check it out. Well, it also talks about how normal peer orientation is now and that it's the parents that try to build the connection with the kids that are kind of looked at as a little weird. So I'm like, you know what, I'm okay. I'm okay being the weird parent. I just, I want to form those connections. Interesting.

All right, well, check it out. It's on everywhere. You can get it. Hold on to your kids. Hold on to your kids. Sorry, that wasn't my recommendation. Not your kids, Marty. Stop the book.

Don't let them go. Oh. All right. Let's move down the path to Nicole, actually. Nicole, do you have a setup for this before we hit play? So I'm setting this up. It's definitely a trigger warning type of show, documentary. I watched it on, I think it was Max. Yeah, it was on Max. It's been in the news quite a bit. It's definitely not on Viacom. I can tell you that. up. You knew something was up. And this kind of dives into it. And it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a hard watch. But I feel like, I don't know, I remember during that time frame, you had stories about like Dana Platte, was it, Dana Plato? Plato. You know, and you had those child stars that really had a rough time. And you're like, oh, that's never going to happen again. We're going to fix that. And they didn't fix it.

And this documentary shows, they really didn't fix it. All right. Here's your clip, everybody. In the early 90s, Nickelodeon was Kid Everything. And you better hope that your house had cable. Wasn't there to educate you. We were there to have fun to get slime, to be entertained. And this is when Dan Schneider arrives, Nickelodeon's golden boy.

He created these shows that were hugely successful for them. No one had ever really done sketch comedy starring kids for kids. He launched the careers of child actors who became major stars. For 20 years, he shaped children's entertainment and culture. But that marked one of the darkest chapters. So is that guy or a bad guy through this documentary? Is he kind of your... Oh, he's not the only one.

Okay. Just curious. The trailer really focused. It focuses on him, and it was hard for me to tell if it was anybody else. It focuses on him because he is the facilitator for abuse with these children. Wow. And, yeah, he sucks. He just sucks.

All right. And I just, I don't really want to get too deep into it because it is really rough. Give us the name. Give us the name so we can start with that. Oh, oh, sorry, sorry. It's called Quiet on the set. there's probably a little bit more beyond that. The Dark Side of Kids TV.

There you go. The Dark Side of Kids TV. So, yeah, they focus on Nickelodeon. They don't really... It makes me wonder about Disney. Because Disney also had all these great shows. For example, there's one... I think he was a vocal coach.

He's the worst one. He's the worst one. He ends up getting... charged as a pedophile. And he ended up going, he got convicted, and then Disney hired him. And it's like, what this documentary goes into is like, how are these loopholes? How are pedophiles like that have actually been charged able to work on these kids shows? Like, these kids are not being protected. So he was a convicted, convicted, convicted pedophile and he ended up working at Disney after that? That seems cool.

He worked on the sweet life of Zach and Cody. That's crazy to me. Yes. I don't know. You can't even know you can go to a Burger King and they'll let you in if you're a convicted pedophile. That's crazy. Right. Yeah, no kidding.

No offense, Burger King. I like your Whoppers. It's all fine. It's all super gross. It's important that it came out to talk, to have this conversation, to hopefully change some of these rules. And there's a whole, of course, the biggest reveal comes, I think it's episode two. So I think there's four episodes. Maybe it's episode three.

Because they kind of do a timeline of these Nickelodeon shows. And the first part of it is spent more on Amanda Binds, who did not participate in this documentary. But there's all these rumors that Dan Snyder got her pregnant at 13. Jeez. Holy shit. I would explain a lot about why she... Right. And so when you look at these adults now and you see their mental health challenges and struggles, they weren't believed, they were kids, you know, so I'm really hoping this documentary brings to light a lot of things. One of the child actors that the pedophile was convicted from actually, he's. He was unnamed initially, and he comes forward in this documentary. And he talks about during the court sentencing, how the pedophile's side was completely full of supporters. And his side was like his mom and his sister.

And the people doing the documentary actually got the letters of support of this pedophile, I guess, released. And you have people like James Marst. people you know that put in letters of support for this pedophile. And, of course, you know, the documentary team reached out to a number of these actors and said, did you know this? And they're like, I had no idea. It's like, well, then why did you write that letter of support? Yeah, no kidding.

Yeah. So, yeah, it's, you know, it gets into like the connections of Hollywood and how you have, you know, people trying to protect their interests and not protecting kids. And again, going back to the parents, the parents are also a big part of this documentary talking about, you know, I was told my kid got fired because I was questioning things. And they will show, they show some really disturbing clips of like Ariana Grande. Dan Schneider I know him from head of the class

that's what I first saw him he was in that TV show head of the class he was one of the nerds but then he kind of parlayed his fame into doing these shows but he these were shows for kids

but he put in things into these episodes that were very adult so a lot of length shots um i don't want to say the word c-u-m oh okay oh geez all right yes hello so you're watching this and you're like who who's and it's very degrading to these kids

because they're too young to know what's going on and they watch these clips later and they're like how did this happen like who's who thought this was a good idea so you have like all of these very adult themed sexual ennuendo jokes being inserted into these kid shows

and it's just to watch. Yeah. It sounds important though, right? It's very important because we like to tell ourselves

through history oh, we're going to be better. We're going to be better and crap like this goes through. Yeah. It's also reviewing

really well. like it's being touted as a really thorough documentary. It's not like, you know, flash in the pan, dramatic music, make everybody feel a certain way at the right time kind of stuff. And I respect that when a documentary does that. But you kind of, I know for me, I wonder, I go, okay, so this was 20 years ago, what's going to be done about today? And I really think what's going to be shown from what's happening today,

is all the kids on YouTube and the victimization that's happening I don't even want like you get you know I'm not saying that there's something

happened with that Kim Ryan but holy crap like there he has a huge million dollar juggernaut you know all these different channels with these kids when it's you and your parents

and like you know they're kind of doing it and you get to that start But then as soon as you get the rush of fame and you start bringing other people like an agent and producer and things like that into it, when you start getting popular, that's when you got to start worrying about exploitation. Well, and Scott, there was that woman in Utah that it was like, oh, the YouTuber lady. Yeah. Yeah, the YouTuber lady with her kids and then she took her channel down. And oh, my God.

Yeah, it was really bad. That whole, she mean, she's in jail now and we'll be there for. Yeah, she is. How long. But, yeah, that whole thing was a, what a circus. everybody went ruby frank rape frankie ruby frankie ruby frank yeah it's total psych total psychopath that lady yep and the lady she was working with but yeah but it just pains me that i'm like oh we're in it we're in it like i just i see it and it and it's gonna take 20 years for

reform to happen oh way until just give it 10 years and wain tell the the shitty stories we'll hear about kids' YouTube shows or some shit like that. Like you're going to find out some horror, I don't want to throw names around, but you're going to find out one of these popular YouTube channels with a kid.

The kid was just like forced to do it and he hated it. His parents were shitty to him and locked him in his room if you wouldn't perform or or worse, you know? Like that's all going to happen. Fame and money, dude. I just don't want it to.

Fame and money. I feel like it's a train that's coming and I'm just like, get out of the way. Fame and money, baby. Anyway, intense, but I think it's important. Where is it streaming again? Where is the, where is it? Max is where is it.

Max is where I watched it. All right, cool. That'll be up on QuicktmS.L.I as well. Randy, let's move over to yours. You got a little clip here as well. Let's go straight from that horrible abuse story to whatever you brought. Yeah. Let us.

I mean, good news. I brought comedy. Oh, good. Good, good. So, yeah. I'm trying to crank the 1929 car to life, you know? Yeah, do it. So, you know, I listen a lot of podcasts, and I listen to a lot of like left wing politics

podcasts, right? And so I get to hear all these comedians and writers because they're, you know, comedians. They're on all the podcasts. And this past a month or so, I've heard this guy get popping on a podcast. And I'm like, who is this guy? It's a comic I've never heard of before. So I looked him up. And he's got specials.

And he's four feet tall. So, of course, his comedy is about being four feet tall. That is roll it. That is short. Here we go. I got away with it. That's the best part about being a little person. The best part is that you can get away with stuff.

I get away with stuff all the time because I'm adorable. If you're cute, you can do things. I can steal and it's fine. It's fine. I've done it. I was at a grocery store not too long ago. I was there with my buddy. He dared me to steal.

something. Your buddy dears, you do something, you got to do it. So I go to the cookie aisle. I get a crap load of kebler cookies. I put him on my shoulder and I just start walking out of that place with the kebler cookies. Now, this little 17-year-old clerk sees me, walks up, he's like, oh, excuse me, sir, are you going to pay for those? And like a boss, I just look at this guy, I go, nah, bro, my family makes these. It's cool. This is Brad Williams. And he is actually, like, really. really, he's better on, like, podcasts as a reactionary funny guy than he is as a standup. But I was just so shocked that he has these standup specials that there's two of them on YouTube.

This is from his first one, which is called Fun Size, Brad Williams Fun Size. Nice. And it's like, it's almost, it's 90% living as, as a dwarf, right? He's four feet tall. He actually talks a ton about how all his feelings about what, how you destroy. describe this, how you talk to him and how people talk to him and react to him. And he's just funny. It's a funny guy.

Nice. And these are where streaming? On Amazon Prime. There's, uh, his first one is called fun size. The second one is called daddy issues, um, which he, uh, his main bit in that one is about his relationship with his father. And like his parents are both, uh, normal sized. And he is, uh, you know, he's living his life as a, uh, little person.

And it's just, it's, never stops being funny. He's got this tremendous story about going to entertain troops in Afghanistan. And then, of course, the army wants to show him around. And he can't participate in a lot of things, but they may make it work. And he's just, it's great. This is good stuff. Seems to be having a moment. He's got all kinds of tour stuff going on. And yeah, he's doing good. It looks like. Yeah. First, a very common name, Brad Williams. And he's, yeah he's the first five pages yeah i could have sworn there was a whose line it is is it anyway really tall guy whose name was brad williams am i thinking of maybe that'd be funny maybe yeah

those guys should tour together that's cool uh well there you have it uh check it out available on prime all right mine's a quick one this is a thing i was told 20 years ago to watch i didn't and i finally did and a kind of similar thing as with brian brian was couldn't sleep same thing I was like, well, I don't mind the mood for. So I started flipping through and found this, and here it is. How's your brother, Don't know. I suppose he's Malky, and he? I don't know you'd have to ask him.

You patch things up? It's up to him, in it. How was the flight, Don, was all right? So this is a Spanish villa, is it? Yeah, this is it. The old Siena. Bit remote, in it, a bit cut off. That's perfect, though.

It's just how we like it. Do you want to have a look around? You are willing a minute when I have a piss. All right. This is the 2000, year 2000 film, sexy beast by Jonathan Glazer. If you've heard that name recently, it's because that guy did zone of interest

and also very controversially. He said some stuff at the Oscars that got him in a little bit of hot water. Yeah. Anyway, this guy makes a movie about, he's the kind of filmmaker that makes a movie when he feels like it. Yeah, right.

It's just sort of like, yeah, it's been in eight years. I guess I'll make a movie. I guess it's time we make another one. Yeah, he'll go make something, usually very British, sometimes not. But in this case, very British. This is a, I would call this,

a non-conventional gangster movie that has the most riveting, crazy performance by Ben Kingsley, may have ever seen in my life. Unhinged. It's insane. And it's really something to watch. And that's what everybody said back in the day. Like, you got to see this just to see Ben Kingsley's performance. He was not, did he win? I know he's nominated for supporting, but I don't know if he won. I can't remember. Anyway, nominated, but not, yeah, did not win. Yeah, he won for Gandhi, obviously. But yeah. Anyway, he's amazing in this. And he's not even the main dude. He's not even. I always

assumed he was until I saw this. I thought, I was just, Ben King. character thing going around being a hitman or whatever he is. I didn't know. Um, but it's really not. It's about Ray Winstone's character and to some lesser extent, Ian McShane's character. Um, those guys are both also really good in this. And it is hard to explain why this movie's good, because I don't, I'm not going to recommend this to most people. I think sexy beast is a real rough, rough time. It's like, it's a very, very hard. sort of look at a very specific moment in some gangster's lives. And there's a high...

Yeah, go ahead. As well, you know, when it was in the art house theater back in the day, and my memory of it is that a lot of people in Austin, Texas, watching this movie with me were very uncomfortable with how often they use the C word. A lot. Like, of course, it's like, I don't know. It means it's a lot more innocuous in the UK than it is here. It means, yeah, you refer to a person.

as that. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you can still do that here, but you do that here and you get in huge trouble for calling a person. Over there, they just don't have the same whatever. But it's, it's, you know, language-wise, it's not that violent, but there are a couple of moments. And it's always this feeling of like things are about to explode. Like, what is going on? Oh, my gosh, this scene is going to get bad. And sometimes it's even get bad. You just think it's going to because that's the kind of film this is. There's a heist involved. There's a bunch of really great music over the top of everything. I don't want to give away too much about the premise because I think the premise is the part that you want to see.

And if you've never seen Sexy Beast and you are, you like, let's say, Blockstock, Two Smoking Barrels or some of Guy Richie's early movies or just... Snatch, yeah, right. Yeah, any, like British gangster movies are a special breed, in my opinion. And this is, is that, but just also weirder than that.

And worth seeing as just sort of a piece of film history. It's a very interesting thing. Did you watch this because of the new series on Paramount? No, in fact, I didn't know about that until I was done. I was like digging around later for our discussion today and I went, oh, they're making a series. That's like now. Like, I didn't know. So when you, when you said sexy beast, I thought you were talking about the dating show on Netflix where they all dress up as sexy beasts. No, not that. The furry, the free dating show. Yeah. Definitely not that.

Is that also called Sexy Beast? No. Yeah, there's a dating show called Sexy Beast and they all get dressed up as like, like, I don't know, like. It's plural. Oh, Beasts. Yeah. Sexy Beasts. Yeah, it's sexy beasts.

I don't like sexy beasts. Look at the trailer. It's so funny. It's so not this. One person's like a bunny. One's a chicken. One is like an alien. Yeah.

Don't accidentally watch this if you're looking for that. And vice versa. Yeah, these are nothing like each other at all, although I assume the Netflix shows having a bit of fun there with the title, I have to assume. Yeah. Because they go on a date and they're disguised and they decide whether or not they're going to continue and then they get, they reveal themselves at the end. Well, and also the term, the name sexy beast makes no sense in this movie. Like, there's no connection to the term. I think Ben Kingsley is a sexy beast in the same.

film. I don't know, man. He's a beast. I don't know about sexy. Beast maybe. But it's just, it doesn't really, and that's kind of the point, the movie's not, it's not following typical tropes at all. Yeah. And it's a hard watch. So I'm just telling people it may not be your jam. But if you like gangster stuff, you like British gangster movies, that sort of thing. I think this is probably in the top five or something. This is a fascinating recommendals. We have Brian's movie may not be your jam. Child abuse undercover may not be your jam. I'm like, you know, if you don't like comedy from little people, this might not be for you. Yours is easily the most like widely, like, you know, probably everyone could like the Brad William stuff. Maybe. I don't know anymore.

I'm kind of curious. Hulu, by the way, is where I saw this. Yeah. Hooling into things that you might not necessarily watch. Right. Two places Hulu and Paramount Plus currently for some reason. They're in both places. Oh, really? For a sexy beast? Yeah. Who knows why a movie like that does that? But, uh, and also, um, pretty sure, I said this on social stuff yesterday, but Ben Kingsley was born at the age of 48 and that has never aged. I don't know, I don't know what this guy is. So true, man. Yeah, he is, uh, it's weird to me. Yeah. Um, but anyway, he's fantastic. Ian McShane, this would have been a few years before Deadwood and things really took off

for him. Very creepy role. Ray Winstone's always good. Um, anyway, it's great. Uh, It's a great cast in that, too. Yeah. It's also short. It's literally an hour and 29 minutes. It's freaking short. So you are in and you are out. And it hits you in the face real hard while you're there.

Anyway, that's available now. All of these will be up on quicktm.s.l. Already are. Yeah. So there you have that. Randy, always pleasure having to hear, man. You won't be hearing from me next week at spring break. I'm going to be on vacation.

But I'm looking forward to talking with you on Saturday about Teen Wolf. Teen Wolf. Teen Wolf. Yep. Everybody line up for the Michael J. Fox, Teen Wolf 2 yet? Have you done Team Wolf 2 yet? No. No.

No, we don't want to spoil anything about... Sometimes we do that. We'll do a sequel before we do an original, but in this case, we're starting with that one. We feel like we'll be totally lost if we start with Teen Wolf 2 and have no idea what's... Can't do that to ourselves, you know? I just love listening to SmartList because Jason Bateman's on that podcast and they That, um, they, does that come up a lot of us, they razzed him so much about people, too.

Well, it's a terror. My memory is that as a very bad sequel, but, uh, yeah, yeah. Oh, we'll eventually get to it. Don't, don't get us wrong. Yeah, don't worry. Uh, Randy, thanks, man. Have a safe, uh, everything until I see you Saturday. And Nicole, same to you.

I guess you're out there for a little bit and then back home. Yeah. Hopefully we're going to meet up with Brian. And, uh, we took the kids to the, uh, museum of illusions yesterday, which was, Oh, yeah. I saw your Instagram stuff. Yeah, that looked awesome. That would look really cool to me. They're all over the U.S. too. One of your kids was like hanging off what looked like a balcony, but it's obviously not. It's like probably laying flat on it or something, but it looked real. That was weird.

There's one in Vegas, and it's weirdly placed because it looks like it's part of Ross Dress for Less. So it says Ross Dress for Less Museum of Illusion. Wow. Oh, I know right where that is. great. Yes, you do. That's great. I love that. All right. Nicole, stay out of trouble. Hold on your kids. We'll see you later. Bye. All right. That'll do it for that. We are out of here. We've done all we can do with the exception of this single quick email I've got right here. This is a word from Luke. We're not leaving Colorado just yet. Luke from Boulder, he says, howdy gentlemen, my best friend of 30 years has a kid who he named Rees or Rise. This is the whole point of thing. And every time

y'all pronounce that as RISE, I mean to write in. So here I am. RISE or Riz is of Irish descent and is pronounced Reese, like John Connor's dad in Terminator or the Candy Maker, not the Dunaway pronunciation, as in Reese's. Rees-Iphens, Jonathan Rees-Davis,

P-C-Sifens. Yeah. So, or Rees. So Reese. So Reese. Rees. All right, I'm going to remember this. Sorry about that. Yeah. It's funny because we always said, I can't remember is it risks or is it rise or is it reese and i always it's one of those things where i always second guess myself and i always move to the wrong thing no this is good to know so i'm going to from now on i'm going to remember how i'll remember it is terminator rhesies right and here's another time travel reference in the same show how did we do that i know i know i didn't know i was going

to be doing that that feud topic until an hour before we started doing the show yet all this stuff got put in there long before that's funky as hell there were probably stories in our in our news that we skipped that had some time travel. Probably. There's probably maybe some time travel was involved by somebody who said, I'm going to make it so all these things line up. We'll find out about it in 10 years when that person goes back in time and does that. That's right.

Oh, there is a story about Utah's liquor licenses, and that is kind of like going back in time. So yeah, so we're it's all time travel today. I lose time a lot when I drink. So there you go. There's the connection there you have it. All right. That's it for us. Big thanks everybody for

being a part of today's show. If you'd like to email us, you can do that. The morning stream at gmail.com. You can also text us or voicemail us at 801-471-0-462. That'll do it for us. Frogpants.com slash TMS for everything else. Brian brought a song and he will now present it. I did.

By the way, you can see that Ross Museum of Illusions there in the, I put it in our chat in Discord there. Nice. That's what you'll find in Las Vegas when you go to the Museum of Illusions. It's apparently the same entrance as Ross. Look at this, you guys. This is great. There it is on the chat. That's ridiculous to me. It really is a subtitle, isn't it? It really is.

I mean, it's not, but it looks like it is. It's not. Unrelated. They just happen to be in the same place. Terrible sign design. Terrible. That's right. Go there when you're on a break.
