Starting point is 00:00:00 Yeah, high-pitch Ibit is a different kind of Ibit. It's like, yeah, let's not, I don't want to be high-pitch, Ibit, let's not phrase it like that, thank you. HP, Ibit, Hewlett-Packard, Ibit, hit points, event. As a Howard Stern fan, nothing good comes from the name high-pitch. Nope. No. I'll just say that right now. Yeah, there you guys all are.
Starting point is 00:00:27 Stephanie, it's nice to have you here. she says that she's at work and was complaining that we hadn't started yet oh no it's because you're you were faking that you were up early for the show but she's just working I get oh gotcha I got you I'm trying to follow a few threads in here today and what people are up to yeah they all look like they're just doing great you know yeah yeah yeah they do they're good people good people good people in this in this room right here good people they are good people so tip of the spear uh patrons in the early streamer people just a reminder I'll say to get on the show, but there's no show tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:01:01 All right? It's not going to be here. No show tomorrow. So don't show up going, oh, where's the stream? I don't hear anything. It won't be here. Mm-hmm. I'll be here.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Maybe I'll do, I'm probably going to lift, but I will some point tomorrow, take advantage of the little extra time and do a little Millennium Falcon assembly, get caught up on that so I can start my ELO spaceship wall light thing. How much more do you think? you have on the falcon or the falcon three three more uh one hour ish um uh that's not assembly videos yeah that's not bad at all until at that point i'll be caught up yeah oh right i see what you mean because they still have another box that comes in you know in in in a couple weeks and then i'll have to catch up with that one got it so you catch it up you work on the yellow thing more parts come in
Starting point is 00:01:56 you go back to the millennium falcon exactly exactly For the yellow thing, I'd really, I'd really want to do it all one right at, like one week, uh, right after another. Yeah. So I don't want to have a gap in between the ELO stuff because of the Millennium Falcon stuff. So I'd probably still be able to do both. Like, you know, Tuesday afternoon I do one, Thursday afternoon I do the other. Yeah. You can multitask in that way.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Why not? They're both, because Mondays and Wednesdays, I usually lift in the afternoons for a couple hours. They're both nerdy pursuits. gotta pay them bills son yeah man gotta pay them bills i'm gonna shut them lights off who that's right i can't have that hobbs dog you are correct it is a beautiful morning here in sLC i don't know what's going on but it's gorgeous outside it's a cold but it's beautiful out took the dog for a walk there's no no icy wind just a nice you know 38 degrees or so sun's out guns out
Starting point is 00:02:57 dog peed all over the neighborhood as if she owned it it was great yeah perfect yeah Daisy was a multi-peer like you'd take her for a walk and she'd have to stop and pee in like eight spots and she you know after the third spot
Starting point is 00:03:11 she was out she that well had run dry and it was just basically like lifting her leg and whiffin yeah like a little puff of air squating yeah she really had no idea how to pee she would squat and lift one leg it's like she she learned how to pee
Starting point is 00:03:25 from both boy and girl dogs. Are you sure that her and Rainer weren't sisters growing up because, gosh, dang it. Same thing. Same exact thing. Same way with the leg. She'll also pee herself out after the first two and then spend about 10 other squats, just basically puffing dust. So true.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Such a weird dog. And she thinks she's, you know, now she comes back home all nose in the air like, I've done it. I've reclaimed the streets. They're mine. Like, no, we'll take you out this afternoon. Yeah. And you'll be like, oh, shit, there's more people have peed or more dogs have peed.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Oh, no. I don't have enough pee. I must go back out. I must pee more. Give me water, owner. Give me water. Must reload. Must reload my pee hole.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Well, anyway, it's good to see you all. We're going to make a show today. We got Amy coming up. I got a, speaking of dog walking, got a weird story to tell. I know Brian saw Gorsinka. Times King Kong. King Kong times Gorzinka, which we'll talk about. And I'm betting on Gorzinka.
Starting point is 00:04:31 I think he's the winner. Oh, I mean, they multiply. That's the thing. It's in the title. It's the, you know, that's the math problem that we get in this one. That's right. Did you feel like you answered the, you were able to solve it for the test, a big test after? Well, you'll have to see.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Okay. Part of it was in parentheses, so I had to solve that part first. And then, yeah, math, you know, the multiplication. and then the addition and then the subtraction. Oh, totally forgot to tell you this. Hold on. This is for you specifically. Oh, okay. Hold on if I can find it.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I saved it so I could read it. This was a message from a friend of mine who listens to the show who also worked at NetE's for a couple of years. And he says, here it is. Tell Brian he's crazy. That game is going to be terrible. I was there for two years of development. It was crap then. It will be crap now.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I assume he's talking about rivals. I didn't reply. He's pretty talking about rivals, yeah, the net ease thing. So, okay, wow. But I really loved my time there at net ease, and I don't have any hard feelings towards the company. Yeah, I'm sure this has. I'm sure he's got no bias.
Starting point is 00:05:41 That didn't sound biased at all, like he's got some beef. No, completely unbiased, subjective review. Look, you know, the, the, if the game quality is as good, as the gameplay that they've shown I think it'll be it'll be good but you know that all could be
Starting point is 00:06:03 smoking mirrors it could all be embellished or augmented in a way that makes it look better than it really is so yeah who knows I mean the big the big question is since it's a free to play game and it's net ease what is their what's their free to play market going to be in there yeah can you get well you know I'll pay
Starting point is 00:06:20 give me a give me a 2999 up front I'll pay it just to not have to deal with. All right, now you're going to watch an ad for a king that's slowly going to get drowned by lava unless you move these blocks in the right order. Did you hear the plot premise? The story follows a hostile meeting
Starting point is 00:06:37 between Dr. Doom and his 29 counterpart. It sets the world in motion of fighting. Everyone's going to fight now because of that. Okay, okay, look at that. Bring it back Doom, 2009. All right, like it. Yep, that's pretty cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Let's see. a game Steam Epic Where's the other bit? No consoles yet Yeah you know It's the kind of game Like I'll say this to my friend
Starting point is 00:07:07 I don't know if he wants me to say his name But if he's listening and I think he does to pre-show We're Let's try it first and then see how we feel later That's right Yeah he has not listened to your film sack March Yeah
Starting point is 00:07:22 I mean I have I have fears about it and him him having work there that obviously had lent some credence yes he's got some he does have some experiences but that all that being said i just i can't i i'm done with this the internet method of outrage before you see i can't do it i'm done games movies tv whatever that he's had um there was another oh super war oh marvel duel that was the card game before snap that i thought was great the um marvel duel never got released in the u.s and that was a net ease and it was i thought it was great you were doing like uh you played that as a with your other account right or something like that i did i played that with um either my philippines account
Starting point is 00:08:04 or my new zealand or australian accounts one of them uh and um this says it's available here now did it come out here hold on get out really available here as of where let's see netty's interactive entertainment blah blah blah app store yeah it's in the u.s app store shut up you can play this game now brian if you want Well, now that I have snap, why would I bother? It was good, but it ain't no snap. Yeah. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:08:30 I wonder when it got put in there, because that thing disappeared. I don't have a date. Let's see, version history. I do have a date. All right. I just did a search for Marvel Duel, and it's not showing up in the app store for me. Or is it maybe? Not that I don't believe you.
Starting point is 00:08:56 I mean, I'm looking at it. But this is also the web version, and it's not saying anything about location? I guess I'm looking on my iPad. I wonder if it's not available for iPad. Which, no, it has to be. That was what I played it on. Weird.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Did this not? Well, that's weird. So I'm on a web page for it, but now if I look at my phone, same problem. It's not on there. Okay. So what that tells me is I'm looking at some international version of the Apple Store. but it's all in English
Starting point is 00:09:26 so you can't tell I mean I can't tell let's see it's got reviews in English good Marvel game yeah yeah I don't know I mean it was
Starting point is 00:09:37 I think it was Australia or New Zealand so those would be uh there's one star review says card drawing system huge flaws this is the subject
Starting point is 00:09:48 and then below card drawing system huge flaws he just repeated it's such just just a five word review and damn it i'm not going to put another five words in there some characters are too cheating game is not too balance at all for this that random as i see result was looked looks like a great review uh yeah definitely give me marvel duel i'm guessing
Starting point is 00:10:17 it's not here for marketing reasons because they probably don't want to compete with um snap or something I don't know well yeah I mean who knows it's possible right like they because this came out a year maybe a couple years before Marvel Snap or a year and a half before Marvel Snap July 20
Starting point is 00:10:37 it says yeah July 2020 in those markets for 1.0 so it's been a while yeah four years of that game wild well anyway I guess it's not here so I take it back it's it's up on the internet but it ain't in your phone yeah get your get your uh fake uh other country
Starting point is 00:10:57 account and uh try it today although again still uh why would you when marvel snap is is is so much better yeah why would you truly why would you yeah this this app is currently not available in your country region i wonder where it is still being played though i guess hey somebody somewhere looks like it somebody somewhere's playing it yeah must be uh there might be there might be regions where Marvel SNAP's not available, and so people are playing that. Have you noticed that every app you ever go look for now, all of them, all games, everything, are at a rating of about a 4.7. That's a really good point, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Whether they're good or not, they're all at 4.7. I don't understand it. Like, is it just so, have they gamed the system to get the averages where they, I don't understand it. I don't get it. That's really funny. I was just noticing this yesterday, because I was going to go get this game, one of our listeners recommended, and I'm like digging around finding it. I'm like, there's another 4.7.
Starting point is 00:11:53 There's another 4.7. What's something that we know is kind of crap? Diablo Immortal probably has bad reviews. Oh, there we go. Let's see what that's at. Even though it's not really crap, it's just people hate it because they don't. Gamers get weird. Because they didn't want it.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah. They didn't have phones or whatever. Diablo Immortal currently sitting at, well, see, 4.6. We're close. Is there really? Oh, funny. See, it's just so, I don't understand that. I swear I want to talk to somebody at Apple and go,
Starting point is 00:12:26 and maybe this is true on the Google Play Store, but I just want to know why are we hovering around there. It makes it seem like every game is great, and that's not true. No. I don't think it's having its served purpose like it used to have. I could be wrong, but Tim Apple's back there going, well, you know, we're okay with the 4.7 across the board.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I don't know, but it doesn't seem useful to me. Should there be like a thing that, looks at how many hours you've put into the game and then wait your review based on how many hours. So, like, if you've put in 30 hours in the game versus somebody who's put in one hour into the game, should you review? Yeah, should definitely weigh your longer play higher. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I would think so. The nice thing about Steam reviews is they tell you per person person how much time they've played. So, oh, really? That's cool. They don't wait it. Like, it's not part of the overall score. No, but they tell you that this person's played it for 30 minutes and
Starting point is 00:13:19 they're giving you the one-star review. Yeah, I'd be like, I played it for 0.01 hours and I hate it. It's like, okay, I can't, how can I take your word for it? But then if I see a guy who's played it two, three hours, and he's saying things like, well, it just didn't grab me. Well, I can respect that. That makes sense. And then people have played 300 hours.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I really do care what they say, because they've seen every aspect of the game. So, yeah, Apple do that. Yeah. Arcade. Junk World TD, 4.7 rating out of 208 ratings. Like, oh, there was a great shoot. Somebody might. All right.
Starting point is 00:13:54 There was a board game that took place in a post-apocalyptic world, really cool. And you had, I think, hexagonal, it was a deck builder. Okay. And you had hexagonal cards that you would play. they made an art they made an app version of it too and what the heck was that thing called so i got uh is it any of these i'll give you the top 10 post apocalyptic according to board game geek we got earth reborn no 51 state nuclear winter 68 nero shima hex 3.0 nearashima hex that was that's exactly it neareroshima hex
Starting point is 00:14:38 they got hex right in the name that's great yeah um they had a game version of this or video game yes yes and it's fantastic and i wonder if that's still that could be one that you know never got updated and so there's no new version of it but uh well now you got me curious i want to see if this is available that game is so good that would have been man if we were still doing app sloppy there would be what i'd i'd recommend uh if it's still available and this was a let's see okay according to I'm on the English store this time.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Nehorshimahak, yeah, still out there. It looks like it's only enjoying a 3.5 out of... Get out, really. But that could be, who knows what that is, like... Oh, I'm saying, yeah, one rating 3.0. On the thing, I'm on the app store, desktop app store. Oh, so am I, I get a 3.5, that's weird. That's really weird.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Do you show more than one rating? I see. Hold on. Yeah, I see total of... Does it say how many on there? That's hilarious. 23, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 10 total is what I see.
Starting point is 00:15:48 And that explains it. Low numbers of reviews are going to give you a lower average because you got something. Yeah, but I'm seeing one rate. How is it showing you a different number of ratings? I don't know. It's weird. That's bizarre.
Starting point is 00:15:59 I'll show you the page I got. Yeah. Maybe you're getting a different... Maybe it shows up different. Are you doing it in the Mac app, like the... the local app. I'm in the desktop app of App Store, yeah, not in the iPad app or anything. Might be that. Click that and see.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Maybe it's cached. I don't know. Okay. A little bit weird, though. That is really weird. Yeah, I'm seeing three, but let me let me go to, let me pull it up on my iPad. Get all these hexes. I might be into this. You would like it. I think it's great. I think the, it looks like the big complaint is that
Starting point is 00:16:31 three and four player support is not available still. But, oh yeah, 3.5, 33 ratings. 3.5 if I look at the same thing on my iPad, even though what it's showing me on the desktop is designed for iPad, not verified for macOS. Oh, I bet that means somebody's downloaded it
Starting point is 00:16:50 and rated it by playing it on their their Mac. Yeah, that's what it is. That's totally it. I didn't think of that. I didn't think of that. Yeah. Oh, look at that, though. I'm going to re-download it because that is a great, that is a fun game. Yeah, especially if you already have it. You own it, maybe. I owned it. I'll pay you for
Starting point is 00:17:07 it. Chat, we're going to make a show. We hope you're ready for it. Oh, fine. We'll do a show. Geez. I know, right? I mean, come on now. All right, we're going to do it.
Starting point is 00:17:16 We're glad you're all here with us to do it, and we're going to go ahead and do it. Come on down to the TMS Emporium where we got amazing patrons like Jim Apple, Sanjay, Iyer, and P. Caudle. They simply signed up at patreon.com slash TMS. And so can you. Coming up on the morning stream, Living La Vida Dog Poop. Nether piercings in the wind. Back to the uterus of you, Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:17:39 We're going to need a bigger head. Lifting and whiffing. I pick up the poo, and you should do. What you drinking? What's you playing? Does buttered toast fall face down because I, like, really wanted to know? The Bradley Cooper you ordered on wish. No show tomorrow.

Starting point is 00:18:09 Compostable, ew, and the cheese, don't get me started on the cheese. Let's fire up those stompers and make some dirty. The morning stream, I live, I love, I slay, and I am content. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream for the 2nd of April 24. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian. Hello. Hello. Welcome to Tuesday. That's right. I'm glad it's not the first anymore. F that day. That sucked. Yeah. I didn't see anything good. Nothing. Nothing funny. Nothing made me laugh. Nothing was creative. April Fool's Day was stupid this year. Stupid. And I think you even tweeted, get ready to hear old people complain about it for 24 hours so here we are i'm not even full 24 hours later and i'm still
Starting point is 00:19:14 complaining about it i hate it it was dumb it was all so all the attempts that i saw were sad they were all sad yeah there was nothing there was nothing that made me say okay now that one's pretty darn clever yeah nothing there's usually one like one screen crush screen crush posted video about how um madam web saved uh marvel the mc u the the headline made me laugh but i saw it this morning and so I was like oh I'm not going to watch that because I know it's a joke why would I bother well Marvel related I saw one that said um Deadpool 3 was getting delayed till November because Disney wanted to cut down on some of the adult content in it and that was a fake story yeah but it was presented in a way that just looked like I stuff I see every day on
Starting point is 00:19:59 social media so I was like oh well now and and sure enough most of the comments are completely oblivious to the day that it is, and they're just like, I can't believe marble's going to try to sanitize the woke culture, bitch. I'm like, you guys, are you as thin as paper? What is everybody doing? So that day, freaking half that day. It's a stupid day. But I'm glad to be here doing this show on a Tuesday that is not the first. This is good. Yeah. Yeah. What's the story about Christopher Cross? What happened? Chris Cross passed away? No, no, Chris Cross. Not Christopher Cross, but Chris Cross of the band UltraVox. I think he was also a member of
Starting point is 00:20:38 Oh god Was the band before UltraVox That midgear was part of It was their hit was fade to gray And their name was I think began with a V Not the voidoids Anyway
Starting point is 00:20:52 Yeah Chris Cross the musician And not the Chris Cross that Couldn't put their pants on the right way And sang about jumping Yeah and not Christopher Cross Who's sailing away Yeah no sailing away Christopher Cross either
Starting point is 00:21:05 For the record Yeah, TRPW was crisscross and visage as well. I think that might be also who I'm thinking of. So he died on the 25th. That's a bummer. That's not great. Yeah. Wasn't that old.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Let's see here. Yeah. He was only, I guess 71's up there. But still. That's up there. Yeah. Still. You know.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Well, anyway, we got stuff. We got to get going on this. So I took the dog for a walk yesterday and I had a thing happen. I told everybody about it on the Monday show last. but I'm going to reiterate here because this is perfect for the TMS audience and they'll commiserate because I've had a lot of weird weird dog walk moments and as the weather starts to warm up they'll probably be more but I'm not walking the dog and there's the section of my walk I take pretty often where the sidewalk I'm going on runs parallel to a huge soccer park thing
Starting point is 00:21:55 that's connected to a school in elementary school okay nobody's over there's a couple of dogs and their owners chasing balls and stuff but it's mostly just me alone and I'm driving or walking rather on this thing with the dog wearing a big bright that big red utah university of utah thing i wore yesterday the hoodie yes wearing that so super bright everybody can see me it's no way you're not going to see me and i'm walking around with the dog and the dog poops outside of what uh so across the street she poops across the street where i am normal place and everything but across the street directly is a house facing the park and at the house is a lady standing on the porch with her hands on her hips.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Okay. Which, you know, it was enough body language for me to go, what the fricky you doing? Yeah. Anyway, she's playing, who did Ricky Martin music? That's what was playing. Okay, really. I couldn't remember. It was something, not that song, but something with, I could tell it was him.
Starting point is 00:22:54 And it was just some kind of real pop-y, you know, Central America salsa. A lot influenced pop song, sure. Absolutely. And it was blaring. I don't know what she was playing the song. blaring out. And she's standing there with her hands on her hips and her legs kind of wide and dog poops. And I'm like, all right, get out the bag. Because I'm a responsible dog walker. I pick up my dog poo. All right, everybody? You should too. I see these little poos left. I know someone's
Starting point is 00:23:19 not picking him up, but it ain't me. So I reached down and maybe she's just had enough of this with people who don't pick it up. But I picked it up and got in the bag and I wrapped it around. I made a little knot, airtight little knot. And I'm getting ready to walk away. And she says, I can see you, you know. And I went, and I didn't know what to say. In my head, I want to go, oh, can you? Like, here, can you see this bag of poo?
Starting point is 00:23:47 I'm throwing at you at my velocity. I can see you too. Yeah, I can see you too. I wonder if she, did she not, did she look away while you were, you know, putting the poop in the bag? It's really funny. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:59 I should have held up the bag and, like, shook it, you know, like this. What does that remind me of? It's like from a movie. What's that from? Where he goes, he like this. What is that from? Well, I'm thinking of the sausage in Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 00:24:13 That's it. That's totally it. Is that what it is? Yeah. Where Ramsey Bolton does that thing with the dog. Right, with Greyjoy's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cray Joy's adopted, idiot boy.
Starting point is 00:24:28 So, yeah, we did that. And I walked away and I didn't say anything. But then it bugged me. the whole rest of the walk, of course, because I'm trying to understand what people are doing. I regret not just turning around going something like you just said, like, oh, I can see you too. Yeah, exactly. Like, okay. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I should have said something. Did you see me pick the poop up and put in the bag? Would you like it? Liva l'a loka. And then she's kind of rocking on her feet. I also notice, so hands on her hips doing this. Really? Just looking like she wants a fight, you know?
Starting point is 00:25:03 Yeah. I wasn't going to give her a fight, but she wanted one. Ah, Lee, yeah. First thing that came to my mind is, I can see you too, and I would have said that. I don't know if it would have been the right thing, but, you know, it's one of those where I think of a hundred things that would have been funnier to say after. Yeah, yeah, anything other than me just walking. I blew that.
Starting point is 00:25:23 That was my fault. You should pull down your pants and said, oh, really, watch this and pull down your own pants and start pooping. Exactly. Now, if I was drunk, maybe I'd have done something else like this listener who called us drunk. Would you like to hear a drunk call? Oh, love our drunk calls. Drunk dials, yep. It's not a problem if you do it, but here it is if I can find it where to go.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Oh, it's down here we go. Whoa, dude, you said it was okay. If I called in stoned or drunk, I'm drunk, and I just listen to TMS. I'm playing video games. Bye. That's it. That's all we get. Totally fine.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Listen, you are at home playing video games, drunk. Nothing at all wrong with that. As long as you're not calling us, I'm by the wheel right now. I just had a little bit too much drink on. I'd call T.M.S. I wouldn't mind knowing what he was playing. That'd be fun to know. I wouldn't mind knowing what he was drinking.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Yeah. What do you drinking? And then what do you pair with that? What game do you pair with your drink? Right, exactly, yes. And do you do you do well? Do you just button mash or is it a nightmare? Do you start over?
Starting point is 00:26:21 What kind of game is it? I really would like to know. So next time you call in drunk, just a little more data, a little more info. That's all we're asking for. Yeah. Give us more data. What you're drinking and what you plan. That's right.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Do you feel like the two go together? Are you playing, you're drinking Red Bulls and vodka and playing, like, Animal Crossing? Because I don't think those two go together. No, no, don't do that. That seems like a really bad, bad idea. Wine and Call of Duty? No, not quite, no. A nice Merlot goes with Call of Duty War Zone 2.0.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Is that how we do it? That's right. Yes, exactly. Yeah, you can call in sober and say dumb stuff as well, Syrinx. That's not a problem. Sober, drunk, we don't care. Like this one, we got another call where they're just. they're just mad and they wanted to let us not about us not us they're mad at they're mad at
Starting point is 00:27:08 technology and so let's let her have her say why won't my phone let me email you love the show though i don't know i don't know why yeah uh i'm not your tech support it's the tech support person in me i did tech support for so many years for that that damn software company the newspaper software company so my first thing is oh really tell me are you getting an error message what's happening does it bouncing back maybe you have the wrong email address And yeah, like you, that's the first thing. I love it. I love, oh, is it someone in our chat?
Starting point is 00:27:38 La Lici Peach. Oh, no way. That was you? Well, now you've been. Were you getting a bounce back message or were you getting an error? Were you, oh, he figured it out. Okay, good. All right, cool.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I'd be very curious what happened there. Turn it off and on again. Reboot it. Sometimes rebooting it doesn't. It's fine. But I'm going to keep this forever. Why will my phone let me email you? I'll keep that forever.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Like when we do like an email section, I should play that every time. Yeah, actually, that's perfect for, let's listen, let's listen to some emails, call her emails. Yeah, so Lalitia Peach, well done. And also, I assume we got an email from you. Maybe I should try to find that real quick, just for funsy.
Starting point is 00:28:15 You should see it, yeah. What is, it's signed by Lilitia Peach? La Leiche peach. I don't see it. I assume I'm looking for a girl name. Nope, I don't see it. All right, well, whatever it is, I'm sure it's there, and I'm very excited.
Starting point is 00:28:33 to explore further uh brian you went and saw the math the mathematical question of the year uh the very successful already uh the king kong times godzilla uh what is the answer to the quiz question on times godzilla the outrageous fortune perfect kingdom something i can't what the damn subtitle is uh all right so you've got uh you've got this world you've got this nice little balanced world yeah and on one side you've got Godzilla X-Kong or whatever I can't even remember
Starting point is 00:29:08 what order it is in the movie and then the other side you've got Godzilla minus one and there's balance right one has to be really good and the other one
Starting point is 00:29:19 has to not be quite as good no seriously it's um it was like as soon as the credits start rolling I looked over at Uncle George and said you know that was just
Starting point is 00:29:30 silly loud dumb fun A good time, a good time at the theater, which is all they promised, and I think that's all I want out of it. Exactly. That's all I was looking for out of it, and that's exactly what I got without giving any spoilers. The movie begins with King Kong running around loose in the hollow earth area. If you've seen the previous movies or Monarch. Monarch is so good. If you're not watched Monarch, you should watch it. But you don't need to have watched it for this thing to appreciate it. I am definitely going to watch that.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Yeah. and he bites down on a lizard and he goes oh and then they show his tooth and he's got like a toothache and so he he takes a portal back up to earth the outside of earth and they they sedate him and they extract and replace his tooth this is is this true is this what you're saying what you're saying is true this is what the movie begins with and and if that doesn't kind of give you an idea of the kind of movie you're about to see. So literally it starts from King Kong's going in for a dental
Starting point is 00:30:39 visit. Going in for a dental visit. Exactly. Wow. I hope he has insurance. They, uh, I was the other thing I said to George, I said, well, I guess they, they're deciding that they kind of want a, Guardians of the galaxy, they want their Guardians of the Galaxy franchise because, A, there's
Starting point is 00:30:55 a lot more humor in this than there have been in previous Godzillaverse movies. a B, there's a lot of 70s music. Like, you know, the bad finger song is used probably when Kong and Godzilla are running around. It's the one that goes, I remember finding out about you. Oh my gosh, dude. You know that one?
Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah. That's great. It's just like, this is what it's come to, huh? Yeah. But, and I'd say somebody, somebody, somebody, was we were talking about how you know there were no shared characters between monarch and this movie
Starting point is 00:31:37 and I made the joke well Godzilla I think is probably a shared character but and then they said something like yeah but he's barely in it it's kind of the movie definitely focuses more on Kong it is a 70-30 Kong oh really Godzilla movie that surprises me I thought I thought the whole idea was
Starting point is 00:31:55 because you had Skull Island which was all congy then you had the first Godzilla one that we're trying to slide in for film sack the Gareth Edwards one. That one was very Godzilla, obviously. Yeah, yeah. I thought it would be equal billing here. In fact, it even says
Starting point is 00:32:10 Godzilla X-Kong, Godzilla got top billing. Yeah, no. No, it's you know, apparently Godzilla is the remainder and Kong is the divisor and the product of the
Starting point is 00:32:26 three sides is less than the hypotenuse of the of the Mothra. Nice. So we did get, so the math is complete. Really, and that's what we went for.
Starting point is 00:32:35 The, yeah, it's, it's, you know, go in with low, go in with low expectations, and it'll be a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:32:44 You know, it's not as, it's not as deep of a thinker as like, late night with the devil, which really wasn't as much of a thinker as just, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:53 a much more serious movie. If you go on, this is a popcorn film. Get a bowl of popcorn. Get your soda. And, enjoy it we like the dan stevens is he good in there he's great yeah dan stevens in there doing his best bradley cooper basically like he's got the bradley cooper hair and he's not he's not
Starting point is 00:33:13 broody like he was his legion he's the you know he's like uh australian accent uh yeah well he's actually the one who completes the uh the dental work yeah well we extracted the tooth and i put a new one in there it's like uh um made with the same polymer resin that we used for the shielding on the blah, blah, blah. Yeah, that's not a filling. This is a filling, he says. Yeah, exactly. So I'm looking at the Rotten Tomatoes thing.
Starting point is 00:33:41 I was talking to somebody on Twitter yesterday, and they made a point that really resonated with me, because whenever I see a big disparity between audience and reviewers, I'm usually like, well, why is that? And I kind of want to dig in. So what are the score? What are the two scores? Currently, reviewers at 54 and audience at 92. So this guy says,
Starting point is 00:33:59 I know it's a huge difference And this guy says He says just because You can enjoy a bad movie Doesn't change the fact that it's a bad movie And I said Well are you mean that Like what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:34:11 He goes no I don't mean it in a negative way His point is we need to start being okay Just liking shit For its very basic primal reasons We don't have to have a big You know artistic take on it And so whenever I see I'm just going to see these differences
Starting point is 00:34:26 differently in my head now I'll see 50% a reviewer 90% audience and go, oh, well, this may not, you know, be from a technical or artistic standpoint, a great movie. But clearly people are having a ball there. So, you know, that's probably, that's a really good way of looking at it. Because I'm sure, if you're still on the site, pull up zone of interest and see what, because I would, I would say that that's a good movie that's not enjoyable. Yeah. Zone of inter. And I would say it's probably got a higher critic score at a lower audience score
Starting point is 00:34:59 if it's got a disparity or 93 critical 78 audience so a little yeah but still pretty high so good movie not as enjoyable as Godzilla Kong yeah dark business in there you know yes exactly
Starting point is 00:35:15 here let me skip past that I'm trying to see another example of like a new thing like how it's in the trailer but they put a freaking metallic boxing glove, a big old metal boxing glove on King Kong in this thing. I mean, how, you know. Really?
Starting point is 00:35:32 Who makes it? People make it and then put it on there? Yes. Our friend Bradley Cooper, you ordered on Wish, puts it, lowers it on Kong's wrist using a giant helicopter. Oh my lord. That's crazy. It was intended for Mecha Kong or something like that. Well, we still have the glove. Oh, we could put that on King Kong.
Starting point is 00:35:56 All right, let's do that, because something happens. Does Godzilla shoot Barbies out of its mouth? Because all the pink that's got going on now? There's a whole reason he's pink. Really? Yeah. Am I going to hate why? I'm going to hate why.
Starting point is 00:36:12 No, I don't think you'll hate why. It's just a funny, like, oh, you want me to say it? All right, folks, if you care about the spoilers. If you care about why he is pink, pause us for a moment. I'm going to set a timer on my, hold on, I'm going to do, I'm going to wrap this in 60 seconds. I love this. This is a great way to do stuff because people can, they have the skip ahead by 60 button on their players. Yep, exactly. That's exactly what I'm doing it. All right. So. And everyone at home, I'll give you a hand up when we, when we start and when we stop.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yeah, Scott will do a hand job when it's time you can listen. That's right. Okay, starting the timer. Okay. Ready. So go. Godzilla, Godzilla shoots pink, because normally he shoots kind of a light blue, like a white, light blue for his radiation. He absorbs it. It's for some reason that radiation is light blue. There's another kaiju in the ocean can't remember which one it is, but it's a
Starting point is 00:37:07 pink dragon and has his own pink radiation that he floats around in. Godzilla's like, oh, I need some of that. And so he swims down to the bottom of the ocean where this other kaiju is. T.M. Thank you. TV's Travis. And he swims down to the bottom of the ocean, and then
Starting point is 00:37:23 he beats that dragon thing and then he goes and he exhales all the pink radiation from that which then combines with the light blue radiation that he's got in we should all be 100% okay with this because that's how
Starting point is 00:37:39 the old movies were shitty stupid like that too it's fine yes exactly five four three two one there you go you can come back everybody come back that was real dumb spoiler yeah trust trust me you saved yourself from hearing a very dumb thing that you will now go see and you got to still go see the movie because it's it's it's funny i'm gonna go i think i'm gonna see it yeah yeah uh it just looks like a good time this is when you can absolutely see on your 4k tv it's uh you know turn the lights down crank the sound way up and just sit back and enjoy it i think dune part two hits uh digital buy buy now status today um oh really cool are you gonna buy are you to own this one or hell yeah
Starting point is 00:38:23 Hell yeah. Let's see. Release date. Here we go. You guys can get it today. Oh, wait. Yeah, April 2nd. Oh, I was posted on the first.
Starting point is 00:38:34 So is that not true? Hold on. They gotcha. They gotcha. It might still happen. Oh, here it is. That's a really weird April Fool's joke to do. It is weird because they didn't really, they didn't wrap it in any kind of joke,
Starting point is 00:38:48 which is my problem with that sort of thing. Okay, it looks like it's the 15th. I don't know who had the second. I read that weird, but the 15th. So anyway, it'll be available. 4K digital. I'm buying it. Then I'll have both parts.
Starting point is 00:38:59 I can sit down and just binge that shit back to front, front to back over and over until I'm dead. Or at least until. At least until Furiosa comes out. That's right. They showed a new trailer for Furiosa that I hadn't seen before. I'm sure it's the one that's now on YouTube and stuff. But it's... Trailer number two.
Starting point is 00:39:20 It's really good. Yeah. Yeah, trailer number two. The new one's good. It shows a little bit more stuff going on. And you get a little better look at the green place. And, you know, there's, uh, there's, uh, what's is Chris Hemsworth yelling. Ready, setty, go!
Starting point is 00:39:36 As he jumps into the camera. I can't wait to meet his character. He's, he is going to be the biggest freak of the year and I can't freaking wait. Lady and gentlemen. Yeah, ladies and, yeah, lady and gentlemen's. Start your engines. Yeah. I cannot see it soon enough.
Starting point is 00:39:53 All right. Let's do some... We can't wait to hear about it. Oh, that's all I'm going to talk about, probably for a while. You guys, you know, if you're looking at taking a... Let's say you want to take a week break from TMS. The time to do it would be like May 25th or whatever it is. And that whole week is just going to be a mess.
Starting point is 00:40:11 I know. I'm going to take a break from TMS for a week. At least if it's shit, then we're in trouble. I don't know what I'm going to do. Oh, God, I know. I can't even imagine what will happen. what uh you know the the fear is you go from you know let's go back in time you go from road warrior to thunder dome and while there's plenty to like about thunder dome there's lots to not like about
Starting point is 00:40:31 thunder dome so can they go from fury road to furiosa without without making that slip i please don't screw this up because i feel like it's got um the the studios i think were really heavily involved managing dude's vision and making Thunderdome George Miller's vision and changing things up
Starting point is 00:40:56 whereas it feels like he still has all the creative control for Furiosa so I think it's going to be more like Fury Road. Also when they were making Thunderdome his best friend slash co-writer writing partner passed away and so he got real depressed
Starting point is 00:41:13 and didn't really want to finish it and there was a whole story behind the scenes there and that's why after that one he just went on to make a bunch of kids stuff and then you know now he's now he's back with a passion so we're probably fine Brian's right we're fine
Starting point is 00:41:28 everything's fine everyone don't worry okay we got like a month and a half and then we'll find out ourselves two months about two months yeah all right that is it for that let's do some news right now
Starting point is 00:41:40 it's time for the news and it's brought to you by Orphan Farm Boy kisses sister while a deadbeat dad tries to get him to join the family business. Yes, any guesses. That one I knew right off of Orphan Farm Boy. I'm going to go to Tashi Station and get some power converters. Well done. I was hoping it would be so obvious that you would question it and go, well, that's too easy.
Starting point is 00:42:05 And then you'd think of something else. But yeah, you're right, it's Star Wars. I can't tell if it's the original trilogy or the newest trilogy. Oh, oh, just good. Farm Boy. You know, and we were all caught up in that discussion about Furious. Did you already mention that there's no show tomorrow? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:42:20 I forgot to mention it. I'm glad you said it. We said it yesterday, pro show, but we didn't say it during the main show, so I want to do it again. Oh, that's why I thought we already did, because we just talked this morning about it. Anyway, no show tomorrow. I have a thing. I got to go do, and I'll be gone all morning. So I'm not going to be here.
Starting point is 00:42:36 That means no show. That means that you get your Wednesday off. It probably means Brian can do some stuff that he normally wouldn't have time for because we don't have a show so watch for possible streams of you working on a thing he'll let you know watch for all that uh i'll be back later for d tns so i won't be gone all day but uh no no show tomorrow all right back thursday we're here today obviously and then tomorrow everything everything normal except for uh thursday yeah wednesday sorry wednesday i don't know why i have to go this i'm going to such lengths to describe such an easy thing i know yeah no show tomorrow that's it you know what it
Starting point is 00:43:14 we just don't like not doing shows so when we don't I feel like I have to over-explain it because I hate it. I hate not doing it. It's so true. Totally true. All right. Let's get to the news here. Scientists are trying to answer one of these age-old questions. It's been assumed for a long time and
Starting point is 00:43:30 some people assume there's data for this and there is some that if you flip a coin often enough you will always end up around 50-50. Like there's no real advantage to heads versus tails or tails versus heads. Even though I think a lot of people are partial to heads for really no good reason.
Starting point is 00:43:46 It's like a weird bias in our heads about. That is kind of weird, yeah. But yeah, I think if you say, hey, heads or tails, I'll bet more people, that should be the science. What percentage of people say heads by default?
Starting point is 00:44:02 Yeah, and I'll bet it's high percentage. I don't know what. They didn't do that here, but they did toss 350,000, 757 coins, not just like quarters here in the U.S. Coins from all over the world. Really? Okay. Because, you know, you want to make sure we're not biased toward one coin or another.
Starting point is 00:44:22 The coin is often used in these kinds of situations with the theory being there's an equal chance that it will land on heads as there is and land on tails. And it turns out that's not actually true and it's not due to a case of heads. I win, tails you lose, which again is a phrase you hear and I think people are biased toward heads. Anyway, the revelation comes from a pre-registered study which, recorded the results of these coins being tossed and suggested that there is, in fact, a tiny bias involved in the flipping of any coin. Study involved 48 people who flipped all 350,000 plus coins from 46 currencies. That's a lot.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Yeah. That's like all the currencies. I mean, do they do? I mean, if you think about it, all right, we've got, what, five coins, five potential, I guess if you count like silver dollars and half dollars, you've got pay. nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, silver dollar. Right. And then you could throw Susan B. Anthony dollars or those presidential coins.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Yeah. That's, you know, potentially eight coins. Yeah. Well, no, I'm just saying from the U.S. Oh, just U.S. So you've got potentially eight U.S. coins. Right. So 46 currencies, yeah, I mean, you look at how many different currencies around the world
Starting point is 00:45:39 and then multiply that times, there are five, six, seven different kinds of. Yeah, I assume everyone's got a roughly similar denomination sort of lay out, right? Probably. Yeah. But yeah, like in Canadians, you don't count because you got holes in your shit, okay? So, back up. Your tunis and your loonies.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah. Your weird $2 coin. What? The hole in the middle and the queen on there for some reason. I'd be so happy, and we've talked about this before, I think when really early on with the show, I would be so happy to just get rid of dollar bills and have dollar and $2 coins.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Yeah, that'd be great. I mean, actually, seriously, maybe we are really getting to a place where we don't need them. I've had the same $3, $5 bills and $2.1 bills stuck here to the edge of my extra wallet for months without having to take anything out or pay for anything. I guess I've done tips, like dollar tips and stuff where I put it in a jar at the Boba place right i will do that but in my case i have the same 10 in my wallet since the cruise which was in 2020 2020 yeah so i think maybe you know i'm changing direction mid rant and saying you know maybe we don't need dollar coins two dollar coins i think we're pretty getting pretty
Starting point is 00:47:04 close to not needing money yeah maybe we don't need money anymore man until the whole grid dies and then we're all screwed and have nothing we'll have to barter our bodies you know yeah exactly to go out there and offer free services for in exchange for whatever how many eggs you have whatever that's how it's going to be that's right and then you could just basically say all right which which would you prefer heads or tails yeah yeah it's still 50 50 it says here as it turns out it's not true but it's pretty close to true um they did it turned out the coins had a 50.8% chance of landing on the side that it started on. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:47:46 So a 0.8 chance, if you started on tails, let's say it had tails up and then you flipped it. Overall, 0.8% is all the advantage that tails got. Or if it was heads, same advantage. Whatever face was up when you tossed it had a 0.8% advantage. I have a question. I'm raising my hand. Question. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. You in the front. you and the photo. Scientists, 350,000, 757 coin tosses. We don't think they did that by hand, correct?
Starting point is 00:48:14 We think they probably used a machine and a machine that probably both flipped the coin and scanned. Well, in this case, it was 48 people who flipped all those coins. So it was people. Oh, really was 48 people who did it. Yeah, yeah. So they used real people to get the results. The idea being, I think, because I'm with you. Like when you do the toast, does a buttered toast land face down thing? Yeah. You always see that test with a machine that would have to create some consistency. They would basically, well, the reason I ask that is it's less about, yeah, it's more about, oh, well, if they're using machine to do the flipping, that machine is always going to put the same amount of pressure on the edge that it flips up. And so there is a chance that it's always going to land the same way.
Starting point is 00:48:59 But so this is down to people flipping. This is not only down to people, but I think that's the whole, that's the neat thing about all this is because the point ain't. says that the bias towards what's face up is a subtle one, but it's happening to the tune of 0.8%. In other words, you, with that coin, you're not thinking of this, not conscience, conscious, but you flip it enough times over time that bias is going to show up in that 0.8 percent. You're kind of controlling that as the flipper. Yeah. I mean, you're not doing it every time. pressure that right and it's the same reason people can't pick up a pair of craps dice and you know set them exactly the right way every time and then do muscle memory to like
Starting point is 00:49:45 always flip it people try you watch them at the craps table and you will see them try sure and maybe there are people on the internet who've been able to do it but it's rare that that happens how could you do how could you even do it yeah it's just people who like they have they they just like muscle memory they you know they just basically do that same thing but there's so many variables about the way it hits the little the spongy stuff on the back wall of the craps table and how it bounces forward and that that spongy thing has an angle to it it's like like little diamonds so if it hits the if it's the same one the same way every time with the same amount of pressure
Starting point is 00:50:25 potentially yes you could recreate it but even air movements I mean there's so many so many variables I don't know how you'd ever control it maybe it isn't over time slight percentage increase or something but the interesting thing here is they call it so they've given it a name same side bias and so here's the bottom line because the coin faces
Starting point is 00:50:46 the same way more in the air because it started in your hand and will therefore be face up more often in the air than if you had it on the bottom that is that tiny bias toward the 0.8% that makes enough
Starting point is 00:51:02 of a push to put it over 50 It's pretty crazy. I love this kind of crap. Love it. Let me ask you this. Is it possible too? And this might be a good Bobby thing. But if you look at a quarter, the amount of, and basically look at it, side view, right?
Starting point is 00:51:20 Edge on. Can you see, is it possible that there's enough, obviously, this has to be the case for all 46 currencies for you to have this percentage, 50.8. But if there's more protrusion, more of an extrusion of mass on one side, you know, Washington's head is heavier or more of his head comes out than the eagle and its feathers, would that influence the way, like if you look and say somebody's got a quarter and you say, oh, all right, they're flipping with the head up, and I know the head's got more mass, so there's a better chance that it's going to land on. heads yeah that's what see I would have thought obviously there's probably a way to weight a coin the way they're like dice is different because you have three dimensions to work yeah and dice and dice even like even craps dice they have they have measured and even with the paint and the divots and stuff like that there is no advantage side on craps dice because it's a flat there's no dimples it is a flat deal it's just a flat cube just a flat cube I mean you can't probably see the reflection I'm
Starting point is 00:52:32 trying to get just where you see the reflection of the Oh yeah, I can see that those are flat mat finish. Yeah, there's no dimples filled with with, um, that's interesting. They're just, that's part of the deal where they have to, that's a, that's a non-cheating thing, right? That's an actual thing they do. Yeah, I think, um, there is a dimple, but the way these are produced.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Yeah, like there's a divot. It's filled with stuff, but then it's polished so much on each side that there is not um there is no difference you can't hold this in your hand feel it and figure out um which side is which yeah microscopic at best yes exactly that makes sense yeah flush your holes is what i'm saying flush flush and fill your holes yeah flush and fill fill your hole then flush them all right uh for flisher yeah now uh the only thing i was going to say is well in this particular case if you didn't have the face up thing because it was equal for and heads even if you had a heavy coin or a heavy face face coin on the heads part i think i think
Starting point is 00:53:39 even though this shows that bias it's going to be like for me i'm always going to go heads default i always do and i don't know why why do i do that like if i was at a really important football game super bowl overtime got to throw the new coin like they did this last time yep and you said scott you have to make a decision heads or tails i'm doing heads yeah yeah and i don't I don't know why I feel that strong about it. It's weird, right? No, it is really weird. It's just like, I don't know if there's some sort of, there's a positive connotation with heads and a negative connotation with tails or something.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Something. Devils have tails, but angels have heads. Oh, man. Or the whole heads I win tails you lose phrase. Maybe that's stuck with us. I don't know. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Heard that in movies and shit. Well, there's that. Let's do a quick story about a boat race. Oxford rowers. This is the over there in England there. In the UK. That's right.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Oxford rowers criticized sewage levels in the River Thames. Oh no. The River Thames. As we knew it as kids, the River Thames. Did we know that?
Starting point is 00:54:48 Do we think that was in his kids? When I thought it was Thames, it was because I watched Benny Hill and they had the production company would start and it would show
Starting point is 00:54:59 It would say FAMS production or something. And then somebody said, Scott, that's Thames. And I've never forgotten it since then. But, you know, when we were kids, what did we have from Europe? We had, we think there's a king, queen over there. What else? You got some funny comedies. Monty Python.
Starting point is 00:55:18 We're done. That's it. I had a parent and several grandparents that were from the UK that, that... Oh, yeah, you had a way better than X. I saw it as Thames before I saw it as anything else. Yeah, you had an advantage there that I did not have. All right. Anyway, they don't like it because they think that the water's full of poop.
Starting point is 00:55:42 They revealed raw sewage in the Thames. Let's see. Sewage spills doubled last year to 3.6 million hours of spills compared to 1.7 million hours in 2022. Million hours, 3.6 million hours? of spills? That's crazy. Okay, within the spills are human waste, wet wipes, and sanitary products that compose a serious risk to swimmers.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I'm trying to see how you get the hours part. It's just funny that they measure it in hours and not in gallons or... Yeah, it's really weird. Yeah. Speaking to BBC, one of the rowers says
Starting point is 00:56:20 this morning I was throwing up and I wasn't sure if I was able to race. It would be a lot nicer if there wasn't so much poo in the water. That's decent. Well, anyway, good luck to them, and they're rowing and their sewage and their whatnot over there. We hope you guys are all going to be okay. Just don't drink the water while you're rowing.
Starting point is 00:56:38 You'll be fine. That's right. It's for rowing, not for drinking. Row, no drink. But also, break. And when you have a break, you play a song because on the other side, we'll have Amy. She's here to talk about reading and books. And excited to have her on.

Starting point is 01:04:51 Good morning, friends. How are you? Good. Good. Good. How are you? I'm pretty. How'd your UT99 play?
Starting point is 01:04:59 I couldn't play. I was out. So how to go? Was it fun? Well, you know, it seems like that was the case for. almost all of us. Oh, I did the whole,
Starting point is 01:05:10 you know, remember when you were in school or in college specifically and you'd be like, all right, 15 minute rule. Sure. Professor doesn't show up.
Starting point is 01:05:17 I'm leaving. So, yeah, I gave Dunaway about 20 minutes and he never showed up. And nobody, like, it was like me and sick recie,
Starting point is 01:05:27 which like, that's just not even fair. No, that's just ridiculous. That was just a, that was a moment where you can't have slaughter without laughter.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Yeah, this sick-recky person, she is unbelievable in this game, like, to the point of, like, I swear I'm getting punked. I don't know what's happening, but either in 2K4 or 99, it doesn't matter how hard you play, sick-recky is destroying everyone in her wake. They realized, yeah, that's why I didn't get a call. I was outlifting yesterday. That's why I didn't get the 430 call from Discord saying, hey, Brian, you're coming to join us and, uh, hey, Brian. Hey, Brian. Oh, hi.
Starting point is 01:06:12 That's why. Well, I don't know what had Dunaway had going on yesterday. I hope it was good stuff. Yeah, you never know, but hopefully, yes. Uh, well, anyway, it's good to have you. Yeah, the kids were off from school, so I think they were doing something. Oh, you know what? That's why he wasn't on the show.
Starting point is 01:06:25 I forgot about that. Yep. He forgot to tell everyone, but that was the reason. Uh, also, uh, it is secrecy. We know that, chat, but we'd like to call her sick recicy, because she wrecks us. Yeah, Calhoun, yeah, we know. We know what's up.
Starting point is 01:06:42 We know how to do it. We're doing it on purpose. We know. Yeah, but we'll try to get back in a seat on Friday with some four or two K four and we'll have some fun. Amy, let's talk about books. Oh, you want to talk about books? No, no, go ahead. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:06:54 So you are not the only one with a weird, like, random lady story this week. So I had to go. I went to the piercing place because I wanted to. to get new stuff for my piercings, right? I changed out my nose ring to be an actual ring instead of a stud and some other stuff. So we're there. And this lady walks in with a stroller. And the, you know, the clerk says to her, I'm sorry, ma'am, like, we can't have any children in the shop unless, you know, they're actually like over 16 and getting pierced themselves and they, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 01:07:30 So she turns around to leave. I look, and she's got, she's wearing, like, one of those, like, white kind of linen dresses, you know, so it's like cotton, but not like, not like t-shirtty cotton, like, you know, more of a, more of a tableclothy kind of cotton. Okay. And, you know, and she turns to take the stroller out and the wind blows as she's full commando. Oh. And I was like, whoa. Whoa. Okay, then.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Really? Really? Well, maybe she, maybe she was getting sensitive. the nether piercings or something. Maybe. I don't know. I don't even think of that. But yeah, man, it was like the wind just blew and she was. Just like the director's cut of Merrill Monroe and the seven-year-inch.
Starting point is 01:08:16 That's right. And no one's ever going to see that cut, unfortunately. Wow. Here's the unfortunate part of the story. That was the funny part. This is the unfortunate part. All right. I have since been called back.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Like, my piercer comes, gets me. I was like, all right, let's go. Let's do this. Chuck is still hanging out. And the lady goes, turns, shows us all her moon and then, you know, walks away, comes back in a couple of minutes later without, without the baby, right? And we're like, okay, you know, maybe she's somebody, you know, her older kid is in the car or something like that. Whatever, whatever, whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Nope. She just put the kid in the car. Really? And went back in. You can't do that. You can't put the kid in there and leave them. That's not good. Yeah, like, Chuck told me that when I came back out.
Starting point is 01:09:05 I was like, are you serious right now? And, yeah. How old was the baby if you figured? Yeah, mother of the year. I would probably, I mean, it was like sitting up. The kid was like sitting up in their stroller, you know, so probably I would guess like somewhere between like maybe 10 to 15 months somewhere on in there. Maybe she, maybe she pushed the shove the baby back up from whence it came. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:29 Came naked with a blanket on. Maybe that was the plan. Just like, you know, back to the uterus with you, Jimmy. You know what I mean? Who knows. Yeah. But, yeah, like, I, who, yeah, Chuck told me that. And I was like, oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Like, I, okay. I hope they get her, because she was a walk-in also. Like, she didn't have an appointment. So I was like, all right, well, hopefully they work her in quickly, I guess. Yikes. Wow, that's wild, dude. Well, I'm glad everybody came out of that, okay. I hope the baby's all right, mainly is what I'm hoping.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Me too. Me too. It's pretty wild. All right, let's get to books. I'm going to make a quick recommendation of a book I'm reading right now that I'm just going to toss out because I'm not, I think I'm 48% through according to the Kindle app. But it's a book called Rust, or excuse me, red dust. It's part of this gods and assassins book series. It's book one of that.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Somebody recommended it to me and said, Scott, you want some like weird omnipotent space being meets old time Western. dirty planet you know local issues kind of firefly kind of vibe I said well I sure do and they recommended red dust and I can say I think pretty comfortably that halfway through I would recommend this
Starting point is 01:10:45 it's really really really interesting take on some of its concepts some of it won't be new to some people but a little side recommendation for people who are interested in those kinds of books are in that genre you like science fiction you like a little bit of space religion
Starting point is 01:11:01 and throw in a little Western action, red dust might be your jam. Frank Kennedy is the author, by the way. I should have mentioned that. All right. Amy, tell me, let's talk about what you want us to read this week. What do you got going? Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:16 So I have one clip, but two books. So I guess we'll go ahead and start with the one I brought the clip for first. All right, here we go. I wondered if it had maybe been the sheer weight of his wanting or his watching that's strained his eyes till they saw what they'd wanted to see. He wondered if maybe that was how God worked now in the new world. Tired of interventionist pyrotechnics like burning bushes and locust plagues, maybe God now work through the tired eyes of drunk Iranians in the American Midwest,
Starting point is 01:11:49 through CVS handles of bourbon and little pink pills with G31 written on their side. Cyrus took a pull from the giant plastic old crow bottle. The whiskey did for him what a bedside table did for normal people. It was always at the head of his mattress, holding what was essential to him in place. It lifted him daily from the same sleep it eventually set him into. Lying there, reflecting on the possible miracle he just experienced, Cyrus asked God to do it again. Confirmation like typing your password in twice to a web browser. Surely if the all-knowing creator of the universe had wanted to reveal themselves to Cyrus, there'd be no ambiguity.
Starting point is 01:12:34 Cyrus stared at the ceiling light, which in the fog of his cigarette smoke looked like a watery moon, and waited for it to happen again. But it didn't. Whatever sliver of a flicker he had or hadn't perceived didn't come back. And so lying there in the stuffy haze of relative sobriety, itself a kind of high, amidst the underwear and cans and dried piss and empty orange pill bottles and half-red books held open against the hardwood breaking their spines to face away, Cyrus had a decision to make. That is a wild read right there. Yes, yes. Tell me more. A lot of it is very lyrical and poetic like that.
Starting point is 01:13:17 So this book is called martyr with an exclamation. Murder, murder, murder, murder. It's by Kava Akbar. And apparently this is his first novel, but he has written a lot of poetry, which explained, I did not know that before I read it. And, you know, as I was reading it, I was really impressed with the imagery and like the lyrical flow of the prose. It was really, really lovely. Like, you know, explaining how the whiskey was like a bedside table for a normal person. You know, I was like, oh, my gosh. Like that just paints the picture of who we're talking about right now. And no, Tom Norm, it's not a trap. It's not a trap that it's Akbar. Different kind of Akbar. Different kind of Akbar altogether.
Starting point is 01:14:07 So, yeah, it's this about the protagonist there that we heard about was his name Cyrus. And he is a sort of early 20s, early to mid-20s Iranian immigrant who he was raised in the Midwest. He was born in Tehran and came here as a young child after his mother was killed. Her commercial plane was shot down over Tehran because it was mistaken for a military plane. And, you know, so there was a whole kerfuffle with that. And yeah, this just kind of takes him through his journey. Clearly, as you can hear, he's sort of self-medicating.
Starting point is 01:14:54 with a lot of drinking and drugs and whatnot. And he's sort of dealing with how to how to make his way through a world with really no guidance and no, he has really no ties to anyone. But, you know, he knows he is an artist and wants to continue making art. And, you know, how does he, how does he find his place in the world? Interesting. It says, beautiful story, blew me away. Some of these reviewers are really glowing about it. People like this a lot. Well, and I'll tell you, the one that got me really, really interested in reading it was John Green. I'll find the review he wrote here, which you guys know I love John Green. Oh, dang it. Oh, there it is. Okay. See cancer free now. He's cancer free, isn't he? Or isn't he?
Starting point is 01:15:53 Well, he always was his brother Hank had cancer. Oh, I'm thinking of Hank Green. Never mind. Yeah. Yeah. Hank is now cancer-free. Yes. Okay, good. That's good to hear. Yeah. That's pretty rough. But John says, a brilliant and blisteringly alive novel about not just how we go on, but also why.
Starting point is 01:16:12 Kava Akbar's first novel is so stunning, so wrenching, and so beautifully written that reading it for the first time, I kept forgetting to breathe. I will carry this story. people in it with me for the rest of my life. So I don't know that it had that big of an impact on me personally, but I did, I did enjoy it. And I was very compelled. I really, really wanted to know. And it's, it's, it's written in the third person. It's sort of a third person limited omniscient. And it, it does jump around a little bit from timeline to timeline and also from character to character. So it gives you, it gives you some of that generational trauma thing happening where you're like,
Starting point is 01:16:53 oh, okay, this is why Cyrus is doing this, is because he had relatives doing that and whatnot. So one of the most fascinating things is they tell the story of his uncle. And apparently this is a true thing. I did not know that this was a thing that they did. But in anything resembling a holy war for Islam, they will take a soldier and it is his job. to get all dressed in black with a lantern and this, you know, really elaborate sword and a flashlight, you know, and ride out onto the battlefield because there's in Islam, there's a particular imagery that supposedly you see right before you die.
Starting point is 01:17:47 And it's supposed to be like a comforting thing for all their fallen, you know, their fallen soldiers who are on the field and are about to die. And so that was this character, his uncle did that. Like that was his job was to ride out onto battlefields and just be this mythical figure. And so he literally just watched these men die, you know, in their, in their most. vulnerable moments. So, yeah, it was a, it's not, could you see, it's not depressing. It's actually, it's interesting. I found it, I mean, there are some heavy things in it, but I didn't find it depressing.
Starting point is 01:18:35 I found it meaningful and moving, but I kind of felt it, I felt uplifted by it. But, you know, your mileage may vary. So if you're, if you're like, oh, I can't deal with anything heavy at all right now. Maybe, maybe leave this one for another time. Because, you know, I don't know if you will find it depressing or not. I, I didn't. I found it heavy, but, you know, but also very impactful and moving in a good way. Nice.
Starting point is 01:19:09 Well, that's book number one. Check it out. It is called martyr with an exclamation port. It's your kid's martyr. And what else did you bring? What else you got? Only martyrs in the building. That's right. Yes. Only martyrs in the building. All right. So the second book I brought is interesting that you brought up cancer because this was a book that a friend of mine wrote is actually, I mean, a friend is too lucid term. Like probably an acquaintance, a common friend, I guess, mutual friend with lots of my friends. He's a puppeteer. and a puppet builder. His name is Adam Crutinger.
Starting point is 01:19:49 And so he wrote a book called Puppetry 101, Creating Film and Television Style Puppetry. And I will tell you, I'm a fan of his. I met him this past year at DragonCon. And he's a really, really nice guy. That's why I kind of was like,
Starting point is 01:20:03 Hey, friend feels like too familiar a word there, because I just met him. But he is really great. And he has a whole YouTube series also, very similar to, you know, Bill Durand's YouTube.
Starting point is 01:20:15 series where he's building stuff but in this case he's building puppets um and the book is it's a very slim volume so it's really easy to go through but if you've ever been interested at all in how puppets are created how you know how to how to operate a puppet how to do monitor work how to do any of that uh it's it's great it's a great little book and um adam is actually struggling with cancer at the moment he has a stage three brain tumor so yeah i know right it's it so i was like man i need to i need to give adam a little plug here um so those it's a little bit of an ulterior motive there but also really good i like genuinely really good book it's a really good read it's very inspiring honestly like it's kind of like if you you know you read any of bill's stuff it makes you want to go make a thing
Starting point is 01:21:10 makes you want to go make a puppet sure no that's great is he um this stuff is this series on youtube is a thing we should probably promote as well so not just the the book but where where can people get more of his stuff so yeah he is the puppet nerd on youtube so if you search for puppet nerd uh you'll find him and his website is also puppet nerd dot com youtube i'm gonna also add this to quicktm sdl i great idea yeah uh there we go yeah look at all this so that one's a that one's a very very very thin volume but uh it's not like huge textbook it's a it's a it's a you know so it's quick read like the last member of green day right here a little bit yeah he's got definitely has like a member of green day vibe yeah that's funny yeah he's really really fun yeah
Starting point is 01:22:04 And he does a really good job of making everything accessible. He does content for kids also. And so, you know, he's actually made puppets out of like just a couple ping pong balls and some tape, you know, stuff like that. So, you know, but all the way from that to like really, really complex puppet. In fact, Scott, the puppet that I made for you was one of his patterns. Oh, he's right over there. I almost can reach him. I can't quite. He's right there.
Starting point is 01:22:36 That's based on something. I didn't know that. That's cool. Brian's too. The first one you got in Brian and I, that's set? No, Brian's actually, this is Annette, if you want to add this link as well. This projectpuppet.org was the one that I made Brian's puppet from. So, because I needed something with a bigger head for you. That sounds about right. Yeah. You know, mine was big, but Brian. Yeah, don't get me. I think Scott.
Starting point is 01:23:04 head is bigger than mine. He's even said so. Oh, and I know it is because I've seen you put hats on. I needed a bigger head for Scott. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah, I have a fat, I have a fat monster head. I just have a round head. That's, that's, yeah. It's a perfect spheroid. Yeah, you got a perfect round head. Docker, what does he say? Put your head. What does he say in that movie? Head! Head! It's a virtual planetoid.
Starting point is 01:23:31 It's got its own orbit. been too long since I've seen that. Well, all right, then. These are fine recommendations today. And as Brian just said, he puts them up on QuickTMS.L.I. We put all our little extra stuff from our co-hosts up there. So please go check that out. And read a book, damn it.
Starting point is 01:23:50 All right? Yes. Do that. Read a book. If you want to listen to him, that's great. If you want to read them, that's cool too. Whatever it is you do. A public or graphic cobble, that's totally.
Starting point is 01:23:59 That's also very cool. Exactly. It's fun. audiobooks, audio books, that's all, it's all reading. It's all good. Yeah, yeah, if anyone wants to, so, yeah, I know a couple days ago you guys mentioned Discworld, and so if anybody needs, like, if they're intimidated or whatever, and you need, like, a specific recommendation, you know, based on, you know, what I know
Starting point is 01:24:23 of you, which one, where should you start? Yeah. On Discworld, then let me know, and I will do that for you. Because I'm all about getting more people to read Discworld. I feel like you need to create a BuzzFeed quiz. Which book of Discworld should you start with? I should. Yeah, four little choices of like, which condiment do you prefer on your sandwich?
Starting point is 01:24:46 Right. That's right. Oh, ketchup or mayonnaise. And like, okay. And which Disney character do you most associate with? Yeah. At the end, it says, start with book five. Right.
Starting point is 01:24:57 Yes, exactly. Yeah. What do you like on your pizza? like pineapple go read something else I'm kidding I'm with you I don't like I don't like fruit on pizza I'm with whoever doesn't like that you guys are all crazy solid air honestly I like the flavor of honestly I like the flavor of pineapple on pizza but I feel like it's there's so much moisture there's so much just water in a pineapple that it's very easy for the crust to get soggy
Starting point is 01:25:28 So that's my main objection to pineapple. That was, yeah, we, when I worked at both Danos Pizza and Pizza Hotline growing up, owned by the same, the same people, they were my girlfriend's parents, but when we broke up, I moved over to Pizza Hotline, she stated Dano's pizza. But, yeah, whenever we did, we did pineapple on pizza, we had paper towels by the, by the cold trays, and we would basically put all the pineapple we were going to use on. the pizza between a couple of paper towels, get all the moisture out and then put them on the pizza. That sounds like a smart way to do it. And maybe I would like it more if it was a little bit less, you know, wet. Yeah, I don't want wet pizza.
Starting point is 01:26:12 Or maybe sour. Like, Chuck doesn't like pineapple because it's too sour for him. He's like, yeah. I loved the freaking beetroot beats that we had on pizza in Australia. I was amazed at how well that worked. And that's another sweet. you know, they're pickled beets. And that works so well on pizza that I don't know why I haven't made it over here.
Starting point is 01:26:33 Yeah. Pickled anything is good on pizza. I'm with you on that. I think so, yeah, because your mushrooms, the good mushrooms you put on pizza are pickled. Yeah. You don't want to put just dry raw-ass mushrooms on there. No, those don't work. If you do that, they're like little sauteed, sauteed in butter or pickled.
Starting point is 01:26:47 Yeah, you need like that, but you pull that, you know, because otherwise a mushroom just kind of tastes kind of chalky. Yeah. It's dry. Yeah. Yeah. And it turns into jerky, mushroom jerky. Yeah, just used fresh mushrooms. Ain't nobody signed up for mushroom jerky, I can promise you that.
Starting point is 01:27:02 Right. You know. Well, Amy, the pleasure is ours having you on today. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your month. And I look forward to seeing you at the end of this month. Yes. Yes. That'll be great.
Starting point is 01:27:14 Very, very excited to see you guys. It'll be awesome. Take care. We'll talk to you soon. All right. If you want to play a little unreal with her, she'll be playing with us on Friday, I believe. Cool. She's usually there.
Starting point is 01:27:24 And assuming Dunaway's back, which I'm pretty sure is the case. it'll all work out in the end. A reminder, no show tomorrow. All right, just making it clear. So nobody sends me messages saying, where's the show? April Fool's is over. I ain't kidding around. It's no show tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:27:41 No show tomorrow. We got a text about alarms. You know what? And it's good that we didn't say it on Monday yesterday because people would have thought it was an April Fool's joke. So that's why we waited until today to tell people. 100% that's why it is not because I forgot. Otherwise, they would have thought, oh, it's the joke.
Starting point is 01:27:54 They're just joking. And then they would have been pissed out. It's not because I forgot it. all. It's 100% what Brian said. Here is a text about alarms. I talked about how my new alarm is this. And I hear that in the morning now when I get up. Well,
Starting point is 01:28:07 this guy wrote in says, alarms to wake up to, check out Navy sweepers. And imagine hearing that every morning. And I said, oh, what's that? And I went and looked it up. Brian, here is Navy sweepers. All right? If you're in the Navy, you know this. I'm not going to play the whole thing because it's terrible. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:28:25 Oh, that's already enough. It's horrible. No way. Thank you. Yeah. They do some kind of whistle business, and I'd never heard of that before, but that's a thing, and you can wake up to that. So no.
Starting point is 01:28:38 No. I'll pass. I'm good. I'm good. Yeah. In the Navy. It's my day to sleep in. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:43 Really awful. That's the choice. And then this text just in, hi TMS. You all said that Monday was a bank holiday. Well, someone forgot to tell me because there I was listening to the show. while at my job in a bank. Love the show, though. So was it not a bank holiday?
Starting point is 01:29:02 Because I don't know. Not in the U.S., no, bank holiday in the U.K. yesterday, but not here in the U.S. Now, I still got our mail, still got, I think kids were off from school in a lot of places here, but by the way, should you be listening to our show while you're at your job in a bank? I mean, what if.
Starting point is 01:29:22 Yeah, what if someone robs it? What if Giancarlo Esposito sneaks in, like does a little Mission Impossible style dangling from the ceiling into the, into the vault. What about that? Yeah, then what? What will you say then? Did you, by the way, I think you shared it originally, but that trailer for that thing, that new thing he's in, that looks great. Yes, Parrish.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Parish, man. It's going to be another hard one to wait until all the episodes are available to start binging that because I love me some Gene Carl Spizito. I still say that kaleidoscope, you bypass the stupid gimmick of, of watch these in any order, that Netflix thing, it's a decent heist series, a really good heist series, and it's elevated because of the work of Giancarlo Esposito.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Yeah, I love him. And also I think that slowly but surely every breaking bad major character should do a show set in New Orleans. It would be great if it's Gus Fring, like it's a, you know, the guest spring show. Sure, why not?
Starting point is 01:30:25 but we had, you know, the judge, or just judge. That was great. Oh, I see you're talking about it. Yeah, so not character, but actor. Actor, yeah. Yeah, so you get him in there, get Chris. Yeah, get Jesse Pinkman out there or doing something. I don't know what, that's something.
Starting point is 01:30:40 Sure, sure. You could do a little cop thing or whatever. I'm sure, what's his face? Oh, our guy that we really like. Stinky Pete. Like, you know, who's got the, you know, the nasal voice and he talks like this. the uh the the the Mike Erman Trout Mark Mike Erman Trout
Starting point is 01:30:58 yeah put him in there that guy's done some done some New Orleans style movies he has and he should all right that's what we're saying uh well there you go thank you for that message that breaking news from our text we appreciate it

Healing notes by Beth Hope and the paperback is coming out today. It came out on pie day last month. I leave it to the covermaster to pick something to help us celebrate this new chapter. Arr-R-R-N-In-R-Lives.
Starting point is 01:32:18 Signed Tom. Nice. Well, first off, happy anniversary. And congratulations. on writing a book and getting that out there. As soon as I saw that request, I said, it has to be one song. And, well, it could be too.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Elvis Costello's Every Day I Write the Book is another good choice. But I'm going with this one. Niccolo was in a band for a while called Rock Pile. Also included Dave Edmonds, who knew the bride when she used to rock and roll. If you know that song, you probably know the Dave Edmonds version. This cover of this Rock Pile song is, by Elizabeth McQueen and the firebrands from their album
Starting point is 01:32:56 Happy Doing What We're Doing It just shows that Elizabeth McQueen likes all the same music I do Because every one of my favorite bands was represented on this cover album It came on 2005 Here it is a cover of rock piles When I Write the Book
