It's 4242424. 424. This is the best one, I think. It is the best one, yeah. Of all those, you know. It's a hump day, which, you know, is good. We like Wednesdays. Wednesdays are fun.

We get to do stuff we like to do, and, you know, that's life for you. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian, Ibitt. How are you? Hello. Hi. Happy Wednesday, day, too you. Hello to all our YouTube people who had no idea what video you should be in.

It's nice to have you here. I screwed that up this morning. Apologies all around. Anyway, it's nice to see you all. We're going to get going. We've got stuff, man. So much stuff to cover, to do. Oh, my gosh.

It's so much. And we only have, let's see here. Wednesday. Well, let's say today we have a full day. Okay, we have a full day of Wednesday. We do have a full day of Wednesday. Then you got your life day, not our show day. Yeah, our life day.

Life day. Yeah, yeah, life day. So you got life day. I'm sorry, Wednesday. You got your Thursday. You got your Friday. You got your Saturday. You got your Sunday.

But then you got your Monday. And we're all going to be in Vegas. Now, I did a little peak at the weather, and it looks like it's going to be amazing while we're there. Yeah, we're going to have some really good weather. Maybe a little breezy, which is nice, keeps things a little cool. Yeah, a high of like 82 Fahrenheit, which is perfect for that when it's breezy. Oh, man. Pants weather at night, shorts weather in the day.

Gargo shorts during the day. Why, is everybody going to a barbecue? What's the deal? What's the deal with all the cargo shorts? Anyway, so yeah, one night only, we'll all be at the Sahara, be there, and just kidding, right? All the plans are done. I just found out... We've moved to the Excalibur where the services you can get for 30 bucks are out of this world.

Yeah, I just got our... You want to blow all your 30 bucks in one place. I just found out somebody who cannot be there this year. Oh, no. Just got a message from them. I'm very sad. It's not somebody I knew, but it was somebody who's the name's familiar, and I was looking forward to meet them. But this is about the time that starts happening.

where one or two people are like, oh, shit, my mom died. I have to stay home or whatever, or other less crazy, you know, I didn't want to go that extreme. I'm not saying his mother died. But you know what I'm saying? Things come up. Things happen. I get it, you know?

Yeah. You get a promotion. You see who it is? I can tell you if you want, his name is Patrick. I don't want to give away too much, but he's from. What's his screen name? Oh, I have no idea. No idea.

Oh, okay. All right. He's from Virginia. I can tell you that. That's how I know most of these people. I'm, you know, they're going to come up to me and say, hi, my name is Frank. And I'm going to be like, cool, awesome, nice to meet you, Frank. He's like, oh, no, we've met a hundred times before.

My screen name is Killer Rabbit 69 or something like that, right? It's like, oh, yeah, okay, cool. Old Killer Rabbit 69 will always get you. That's the plan. Well, anyway, all that happened. Brian, we got a little a note here for you. This is about, oh, before we do this, it's about, records and record players and stuff um that album oh i don't hear you for some reason why don't i

hear brian did he go mute i hear everything but brian uh something change i heard a little glitch sound and then i stopped hearing brian what's up at that uh let me disconnect and reconnect into this call and now i'm back in do i hear him now no i don't hear brian at all Brian is silent runnings, the fantastic film. Here, let me pause. I can hear you, but you can't hear me. I could not hear you at all. Sorry.

Rings of speakage are still green. Yeah, we're good, everybody. Sorry, don't know what that was, but we got a, that's a, there was a new update today. Maybe we had a bug that's unforeseen. I don't know. Anyway, Brian, I got this note about records, right? Yes. Back to the record thing.

You were about to say something about records, and that's when sound cut out. Yeah. Oh, yeah, before we say this, what is something about records? Something you said yesterday reminded me of, well, I was going to send you a text, I'll just tell you now. You had me go read that Sandinista album from The Clash. Oh, The Clash, yes. And it was really good, and it reminded me of something. I could not place it all night what it was reminding me of.

And it wasn't even the music that reminded me of something. It was something about that kind of an album that's like lesser known from a band that is hugely known, but revered by some and others just haven't discovered it, like that kind of feel to it. Yeah. And I thought, what does this remind me of? And I figured it out. It's like Paul's Busty Bois. Oh, yeah. That's a great comparison.

Yeah. Yeah. Like this weird second out, not that it's their second album or is it. It's not their second album. Clash is. Yeah, the Clash one. Boy, where is San Anista in there? I feel like it's later.

No, I think that was later. Okay. I think San Anista was a later album. That sounds right to me. But in the case of Beasty Boys, it was their follow-up album to license to ill. And everybody expected more fight for your right. And what they got was more like pure. street, hip-hop, Brooklyn-style, you know, rap. And at the time, people were put off by it. And I

loved that record, man. I loved it. Yeah, it was Pinkerton. Pinkerton was something like that, right? Like Weezer's Pinkerton album, kind of being... Yeah, that's true. Yeah. That's a good one. I like Pinkerton. That's a good album. Sendin East was their fourth album. Okay. All right. And then they did Combat Rock, and then they said, hey, McJones, you don't show up to practice enough and you're always running around with your girlfriend and where you're fired. Should you stay or should you go? You should go. You should go. Basically. Did he go on to anything else? Did he go do solo shit or what happened with him? He did. He put together a band that you know well called Big Audio Dynamite. Oh! I did not know that. Yeah. I just know what

Big Audio Dynamite had the Cars guy, right? For a while. No? What am I thinking of? wait didn't the didn't the car's guy the main guy the singer that married

the super model rico casick um i wonder if he produced he went he did some producing i wonder if rickokokasic produced a big audio dynamite album god i don't know of any

i cannot think of a connection there i may have it all it's funny oddly enough i think rick produced a wiser album but i don't know if he wow that's wild i don't know if he i don't think he ever produced

let me see Productions. Yeah. Let's see. Petty Smyth. He produced Petty Smyth and Scandal. We were talking about them.

Yeah, the Weezer's green album was produced by Rick O'Kasek. Actually, both of their first two albums. So, you know, the sweater song and all that stuff, both produced by Rick Akasek. And everything will be all right in the end. A ninth album by Weezer. Okay. I don't know why I've got this all messed up my memory, but...

Yeah, that's all right. In my head. So now, go listen to... Did you end up listening to Steve Miller's Fly Like a Need Club? I did that as well, and it's a great album. It's fantastic. It is, right? Am I right about that song? Don't you know that if they found you? Yeah, yeah. I don't remember the name. You said it yesterday, and I've forgotten the name already.

But I like that. I liked all of it. It's a great album. It's really good. It's a great album. Yeah. You guys get your Steve Miller on. Yeah, and I would tell you now to go listen to big audio dynamites, The Globe. And that's the album that's got all the hits, you know. Like, if I had my time again, I would do it all the same.

That one. That's a really good album, too. It's good. I'll keep going. And I also did some greatest hits business. And I don't know, I just kind of drove everybody nuts with all the clash I was playing yesterday. Yeah. Carter loves the clash, so she had no problem with it.

But she was weirded out by some of the tracks on that album. I said, yeah, you should check this out. It's very different than what you expect from them. A couple of tracks are like, oh, yeah, this is a clash, totally. For sure. Yeah. Or a Magnificent Seven, that's a clash song day and night. But Hitzville hits UK with the female vocalist.

Really weird. It is so unclashed. But it's such a great, it's like a culminate, it's like a quick history lesson. on pop music from Sun Records and Hitsville and all that stuff and how the record labels told them to keep it under two minutes and 59 seconds. Oh, it's so great. It's such a great. That was the song where she leaned over, the U.K. hits one.

She leaned over and she goes, Dad, what is that? I go, it's the clash. She goes, that's not the clash. She's like, that's not the clash. And I say, yeah, it is. Come over here and check it out. So, anyway, you got a couple of converts. And I think the vocalist from that.

If I'm not mistaken, is Ellen Foley, who was the first bailiff, not bailiff. She was the first, she was the Markey Post character, or she was who Markey Post were placed on Nightcourt. Oh, oh, really? Is the vocalist on that, that Hitzville, HitsU.K. song, I think. I didn't remember. That's crazy. Hitsville, UK, see. Ellen Foley, is that her name? Yeah, yeah.

She's also the one who does that meatloaf song, will you love me forever? Will you need me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Oh, yeah. She's all over that Bad Out of Hell album, right? Yeah, yeah. So, okay.

That's interesting. And she was the one, I think, that was dating McJones and the girlfriend that he was spending so much time with in the clash that he got fired from being the class. It all comes back around. There you go. There is your music history lesson with some facts that I think may be a little hazy in my mind, but I think are correct. Yeah.

It's all cyclical in the end. Well, anyway, we got this note about records and record players. Yeah. Yeah, back to that point. This was not a email, it was a text, and there is no name on it. It says, for Coverville, I don't have any personal experience, but I've got, excuse me, I've heard good things about the U-turn turn tables, and they are recommended by wirecutter. Have you checked these out?

They were, yeah. I have somebody, KT. Data, I think, recommended them in, in, TMS chat in Discord and this is a really cool company, American made record players, turntables, and you have like all the options. So basically

your 250, 250 bucks gets to your basic, but good, you turn turntable. And then for extra money, you can add a pre-empt inside it so you don't have to, if you have a receiver that doesn't have a phono input

that boosts it, records needs a different kind of amp than like if you plug a CD player into a receiver, it's already, it's got the, it's at the right amplification. Sure. But, and I'm sure, if I'm getting any of this wrong KT data, please correct me. But phonographs record, record players need something more, a little more boost. And so you can get one with a built-in pre-empt, pay a little more. You can get one with a little lever that moves the arm up so you don't have to pick the arm up off of the record.

Oh, I like that stuff. And you can get it like whatever color you want. as long as it's one of the five they provide and different kinds of platters and different kinds of cartridges. So that is one that I am definitely considering is the U-turn

turntable. All of these are good looking. So we've got a black one, we've got a white one, we've got this really cool red. I don't even know about red. The red one would be my jam. Yeah, that blue's good, the turquoise is good, and there's two wood panel

one, not wood panel, but wood styles. So if you want to look like a real old school, you could do that. These are cool. They're pretty slick, yeah. U-turn audio.com if you want to go check those out. All right. Very nice.

Thank you for that recommendation. We also got a text from, this is Brian from Waxachachy. How do you say it? Waxahachi, Texas. Yeah, we went through this before and I forgot how to say it. We did, and I still might be effing it up. It says, hello, swollen and bruised.

This is Brian from Wackahatchie, Texas. discussing palindromes on yesterday's show I thought I'd mention that my wife and I got married on April 11th, 2014, or 4-1-1-1-4. Nice. Ooh. That's a good one.

I want to know from him, though, this other Brian, did this play a role in your decision to get that date? Right. Like, did they specifically pick that? Yeah, I think it's a great question. Always curious about that.

If anybody plans their wedding plans around a palindromic date or if it just happened that way and if it happened that way you guys were meant to be all right yeah yeah and if you both got excited about it being on that date then you're absolutely meant to be that's right if one of you's like this is the coolest thing ever and the other one's like you're such a nerd then er maybe you know uh that's great congratulations uh to you guys on your on your birthday or your wedding day uh we i've been getting a lot of that too done that too i've been getting a lot of feedback that people like this

what happened today in history thing. But I also have gotten a lot of feedback that they like the what is today's national holiday thing that we should be celebrating. Oh, I like that too. You know what? That seems like it's more prone for discussion. It opens up more talk for you and I. Yeah. So I'm just going to bounce back and forth.

Count of Wilhelmia was born on this date in 19. Yeah. I'll do those when they're significant and matter. But this one's more interesting because today I feel like there's there's two conflicting days we're supposed to celebrate one is national pigs and blankets day so you're supposed to eat the hot dogs and a little cooked you know dough thing yeah like the the kind of the proto dogorito the the dog grito that requires it's the dough that's right that's right there's dough yep and then it is also

stop food waste day so if you arguably is another thing about the dog You're wasting a perfectly good tortilla and a perfectly good hot talk. Yeah, so these two seem closely associated. It is also National Bucket List Day. So, Brian, whatever's on your list, you better get that done today. Or make a bucket list today. I guess it doesn't matter. Maybe that's it, make a bucket list because, yeah, I mean, completing everything on your bucket list.

Maybe work towards completing one of the things on your bucket list today. Yeah, you can't, like right now, you could not bungee jump off the Eiffel Tower if you wanted. to because you're at home, you're not in France. You're not even in Vegas to jump off that Apple Tower. So if that's on your bucket list, you're screwed. There is a new thing coming this summer. Unfortunately, it won't be open when we get there, but there's a place I want to check out called Crash and Burn, and it's on Fremont Street.

And it's in the Neonopolis, which is where good ideas go to die. That's the place that has the axe throwing, which is really cool, but it's also the place that has the fake nerd bar called Nerd Bar. Yeah, that's a weird little corner, man. Nothing. It really is. The Denny's that has a chapel, a wedding chapel in it. And it always seems like no one's there.

It seems like an empty place. Right, yeah. But this place, Crash and Burn, this summer, they will be adding a... You know those indoor skydiving places? Yeah. Where you basically just go into a giant wind tunnel and get blown vertically while you lay flat, and it's kind of cool. Sure. This, they're opening an outdoor skydiving, which you might say,

is, well, Brian, isn't that just skydiving? No, it's still the giant fan, but it's going to be blowing you up in the air over a big net, and you'll be up over, like, kind of looking down on Fremont Street as you do it. 100% will do this. No problem. People are always like, Scott, you're afraid of heights, whatever. This is my kind of thing. I would do this.

No problem. Yeah. When's that open this summer, you say? This summer. So 2025, you and I can do the outdoor, the outdoor. the outdoor indoor skydiving experience and crash and burn but this place boy yeah

maybe that's not the right name for your bar if you're going to have outdoor skydiving is crash and burn Yeah seems a little weird doesn't it Come to bar bar, fall to your death Had they doing anything special on the bar side Like is it just a bar It's just a bar but here's the cool thing They've got vintage arcade games

And duck pin bowling which is like regular bowling But it's the bowling balls are like a little bit bigger than ski ball sized Okay. They're not balls you stick your fingers into. They're just balls you hold. That's not going to be a show title. Sure.

And I think you get three shots per frame, and they don't have anything that cleans up the pins that you knock down, so you can use those to your advantage to knock down other pins. Oh, it's a little more like cornhole or something where the bags are strategic when they land at certain places. The bags become, you know, like either an obstacle or an advantage that you can kind of block your opponent. and stuff. I like it. Yeah, duck pin bowling is so much fun. And if you've never seen if it's a true duck pin bowling, then the pins are on little strings, like by their heads. So when when your turn is over, it's like they go, pulled up like. Oh, that's cool. I'll do all this. That

sounds great. Yeah, yeah. That would be a good place to check out if we have time. There's so much stuff going on. Oh, there's always a billion things, but yeah, always, always, uh, always potential for more, everybody. We'll see what we can do. I'd much rather put 20 bucks into some duckpin bowling than necessarily put it into a video poker machine. Yeah, well, I guarantee it won't get any money back from it, but I'll probably get a lot, a lot more fun. Yeah, yeah, like in our, it's why I prefer arcades to slot machines, you know? I just rather, I'd rather lose than lose, if you know what I mean. Exactly. Uh, what else we got? Oh, tell me about this wordal cheating thing. What's this going on here?

Yeah, so I talked to somebody yesterday. We were talking about, so connections. You've played the New York Times Connections game where you have a grid of 16 words and you've got to figure out the four sets of words. Yep. I'm pretty good about getting to most days. My wife is every day on that thing. Every day.

I'm usually every day. But there's, man, there's been a couple where it's like, I am just stumped because it looks like there are five words that work here. And I've tried every combination. I've used up all my guesses. But we were talking about that and I said, you know, what I've been doing is, actually, because I like to try and get purple, blue, green, yellow.

I want to get them in reverse difficulty order. And there's even, New York Times came out with a post about how if you want to play it, if you want to really play competitively against your friends, then you do, then you try and put in that order and you score yourself based on four times

the difficulty level. So, one, two, three, four, yellow, green, blue, purple. Okay. And then four, three, two, one times that number going down from the top. Okay. I know it's kind of confusing. a little bit yeah but anyway but um uh so i said yeah you know to try and do that what i've been doing is taking a quick screenshot of the the game on my phone and then going into where i can draw using my finger on my phone and be like okay i use the highlighters and those colors and i think

oh yeah these four i think are going to be the yellow these four i think are going to be the the the green these four i think will be the blue and the purple um and i said does that is that cheating and this person's like oh no definitely not because you're you know you're still making the, you're going to be making the guesses. You're not getting the answers ahead of time. You're even making it more difficult because you're trying to do them in reverse difficulty order. So you're adding an extra level of, of, uh, of difficulty to it. Sure. That makes sense. Especially for people do it every day. They like a little challenge. Right. Exactly. Yeah. And then they say, um, yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know if somebody would even consider what I do with

wordle cheating, but I, um, I have a, uh, I have a, a bookmark page that shows every word that's ever been used for wordle so that when I'm doing my guesses, I never use a word that's previously been used. And I just instinctively said, that's totally cheating. But, you know, but I'm like, well, wait, all right, is it, you're not, you're not being told what the answer is, but you're being told what the answer isn't. So I wanted to put it to the, to the tadpole. Is it cheating? I'm not going to use any names and say who this person is. is because they may or may not be listening. They may or may not even be coming to Vegas.

But if you look up the words that have been used because they're, you know, they're not going to reuse any words until they go through the entire list. And there have been a thousand plus word little days. Is it cheating or is it not cheating to have a list of all the words that have been used? So far, so far everybody, I think, is saying cheating. It feels like it's a form of cheating. I mean, no differently than if you said, you know, tell me every, well, in Jeopardy's case, it's answer, but tell me every answer that's ever been on the board in Jeopardy.

I want that list. That feels, but see. They're not going to repeat them, though, are they? They're not going to go back and do old stuff. Yeah, I mean, the wordle folks have said they're not going to repeat words. I don't know if they said until they run out of words or until they get to some. percentage of words used or something like that. But Jeopardy, I mean, I've seen

Jeopardy games where two questions on the same board, because they come up with the categories and sometimes pull them together randomly where two questions on the same board reference the same thing in different categories. They weren't the same answer, but they referenced the same thing.

Interesting. All right, well, chat says cheating. Yeah, chat says cheating. What do you say at home? Hearts says moops. Yeah. Chat room or people at home listening If you have a thought on this, do you think it's cheating? Do you not think it's cheating? Tell us.

We'd love to hear from you. We're going to get to the Tad Pooley feud. Oh, I should really log into that. You should really log into that, because Bri-Bri has already logged in. Of course he has. Of course. Stole my color today. Nope.

Yes, he did. It's what happens when you get in late. I went with the purple. Purple is good. Purple is a good identifiable. Yeah, it's very prince, you know, prince-focused, I guess. For sure. Uh, oh, I guess I got to add him to the call.

It's all working out. Add him to the call, and then we got a, we need a contestant. That's right. And I think I know who wins with the third person in. Let's see if this is correct. Oh, I think it is. I'm going to add him now. Brian Dunaway, you're here, we're here.

The music's playing. Oh, my gosh. It's time for the tadpooley feud. Uh, you know how this works. The best part about it is Brian Dunaway joins us. Hi there. Oh, hi, it's God and Brian. Hey.

how are you man i'm doing good in what you're saying that i've stole your color i was purple i was purple for six months and then scott got all upset one day and so i gave him purple and i took orange i never get upset and now he's all like he stole my orange make up your mind johnson you take what you want color do you want you take what you want i i'm fine to be purple today i'll be orange other days look whoever's what do you want to be i want to be, I like orange. I'm a big fan of orange. I'm an orange guy. Yeah, it's my favorite color, I think. I like orange. But what color will be your favorite next month? Good, good question. It's a very good question. My favorite color has been orange for a long time, although in high

school, I was all about yellow and I wore yellow stuff everywhere I went, always yellow. But less so to that. My mom used to tell me that geniuses always like green. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm like, that's dumb. Oh. That means that she bought you a green shirt for. your birthday and she wants you to really appreciate it when you open it in the month right i'm like what genius told you that were you her you mom is a little uh genius and she call you that unfortunately you know uh is there something wrong with that is that okay something wrong with you got a problem with it yeah what's matter uh well all right also told me how to draw a face of a boy by writing boy first and then filling in the in the pieces oh my gosh that's great you should show me

that one day oh like like turning it sideways so like the the the bee makes the two eyes and then the small you know lowercase b oh y and you just connect the little dots and you make little uh you put little dots for the middle of the b and middle of the oh for eyes and it makes a cute little face done deal well i like it a lot uh what also i like is that win megas is here win megis welcome to the show how are you hey how are we doing good man how are you i'm doing all right just trying to get this to go to my right uh headphone oh well you sound good you should have to both left and the right and then you'll hear a sense That's a good idea. There we go. You want one of us on each end? Our microphones are mono. Yeah. It's good to have you here.

We're going to play a game. You know how this works, but we're still requiring Brian Ebbett to read the rules. Brian, take it away. It is my job. It's time to play the tadpull. I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerbidty top. Nurbidi topics.

Nurbity. Nurbity topics, and Scott and Brian will have to predict the answers that they gave us. Scott and Brian's job. See how much of those, how many of those answers. Boy, you can't drink all day. You don't start in the morning.

What's your favorite color? It's a, it's clearly absinth blue. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Caller, it's green. Caller, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you'll get a prize package. That includes Sparklight and Grand Mountain Adventure Wonderland. Oh, I've not played either, but I've heard good things of both.

Cool. Grand Mountain Adventure sounds like a, you know, you're building a little. a little place to live and farming and cutting down trees and making furniture and hunting. Sounds like it, right? Gardening and... See what it actually is. Grand Mountain Adventure.

What's, uh... Oh, it's a ski thing, so you ski in it. Oh. Oh, this was on... This was a mobile game for a long time that I thought was very cool. All right, you know what? I'm jealous now. This looks rad. It's like a cool game.

Well, anyway, Windmegas, all that could be yours. Brian, if he does what? What does he have to do? He has to be part of the winning team, and he's going to work with one of you, too. Once we determine which one of you wins the face-off, I don't have these in the instructions. This is all improv.

Let's do this. You guys ready? We asked 459 Tadpoolers the following question. Please put your hands on your buzzers and give me your best answer to this. What is your favorite post-apocalyptic movie that is Scott Fury Road

That is Scott That is Scott That is not Fury Road That is not Fury Road Damn it Yes Finish the question I'll repeat the whole question

For Brian I got baited What is your favorite Postapocalyptic movie That is not Part of the Mad Max series Oh shit It's the end

That is not Where I hit the buzzer When you said That is not I immediately regretted it Frick Oh my God That is great

Oh my God And now I'm having trouble Now you still have to name one and get it on this list. Otherwise, we're going to win-Megas. Oh, Jesus. The one with the Gillon Hall, the day after tomorrow, is that what, was that right? Do it. Do it.

Day after tomorrow. Show me the day after tomorrow. Ah, yeah, yeah. All right, Windmages. If you can name one, then one of the ones that's on this list, then you get your choice of who to play with. Yeah. What about Waterworld? There you go.

Show me Waterworld. Oh, I can't do this without saying who's going to get the points for it. Yes, that's on the list. Who would you like to play with? Let's go with Scott. This is definitely his category. Show me Waterworld. The number one answer on the board.

Scott, you get the point, the one point for being number one and you get to work with one. Now I'm thinking of a million of them. If I hadn't been so freaking hardcore, I got to beat Dunaway. I could have gotten this right. Yeah, you could have. Yeah. All right. And you still did. So you got your chance back. All right. Win, Magus. There's a lot of choosing we could do here.

By the way, I will tell you that day after tomorrow was number 19. And because people can't follow directions, Mad Max Fury Road was number 43. No way. It was on it. It made the list anyway. That's the power of that. Is it just Fury Road that's on there or all of the Madmex is on there? any that is not part of the madmax series so no i mean they're being on the list that people can't follow instructions for oh i can't tell you that oh i'm just curious because you said they wouldn't be on the list because it's not might of the part of that's that's really a good point yeah no that's true yeah i mean obviously the tadpool said madmax free road so really it doesn't matter

what's factual it matters what the tadpool said all right so by the way scott A whole question from the previous survey. So next time, in two weeks, we'll start using the new survey. Nice. The next one I would call out as Book of Eli. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah, I love that movie. That's one of my favorites.

So, yes, I agree. Let's put Book of Eli on there. The Booker of Eli. Yep. you two along for the ride um real quick here that's that movie just got green lip for a sequel i'm very excited i don't know how long it'll take but whatever get the movie of eli it's going to be great the thing is if you know what happened at the end i don't know who they're going to have star in this so that's the weird bit um all right uh well why don't you have me lecuna star in that long i mean you could

you could she went off to do stuff may as well yeah um all right the book of mili let's do uh They're kind of horror movies, too, but it's definitely apocalyptic. Let's do the don't say shit movie. What's that called? The Quiet Place. Oh, those are good. We got a new one coming out, like the prequel, right? Yes.

Yeah, it looks awesome. I'm excited about that. Show me a quiet place. Oh, come on! That's a really good answer. And unfortunately, the Tadpool only had that at number. They had that up there, but it was, there it is, 23, number 23 on the list. Okay.

Small comfort. I spent all weekend watching this series, and I don't know why I didn't come to my head right away, but I was watching the latest run of Planet of the Apes, and those are some of my favorites. They're so good. Do I have to be specific of which one? No, I jumbled out. everything up all in one here. Good. Now I'm going to go with Planet of the Apes.

Show me, Planet of the Earps. The ape planet. Damn. That's what all the hell. Yeah, that put you ahead, dude. Oh, really nice. Are you excited about the new one coming out this May? Yes, I'm very excited, especially after going back and watching the first three, I believe.

The first three of the new series, right? New series. Yeah, yeah. No Mark Wahlberg. I skip right over there. Oh, yeah. Skip over that shit. I didn't, wasn't even thinking about the Tim Burton one. I was thinking about the Charlton Heston stuff. But yes. And another one this upcoming, too, I just saw what, like last week, I am legend is supposed to be doing something. So we're going to go with the I am legend movie route. So there's a new movie coming out as part of that series? Yeah. Sequo. Yes. Direct sequel. Like, I am still legend. Is that what it's a legend? I am even legendary. I'm a legender. Will Smith's got it. Will Smith's got to get back

and everybody's good graces before he slaps somebody. He's got to do it by himself. He's doing it by him. Show me I am legend. Show me I am legend. Yeah, number eight on the board. 14 points for Brian to Scott's

four points. And now all I can think of is now I can think is I robot, but that's not really just topic. It's more just um how about oh no but that one's great it is really good movie's awesome um AI turns into a really shit show at the end but uh is that really good you should check see you should check by saying it shut up johnson i'm thinking i'm thinking go for it

shit uh yeah AI because i can't think of anything else right now all right me a minute i'll think something else later okay show me AI Yeah, it was with the track. Is it on there? Should have said Minority Report. I don't think AI even, yeah, you should have. I don't even think AI made the list. No, no AI at all.

Okay. Don't take it. Now I remember the one I was going to say. Let me ask. When, Megas, how do you feel about Children of Men? It's an amazing movie. Very post-apocalyptic. It is a really good movie.

I've only seen it once, but it was really good. You want to do that one? How you feel about it as an answer? I've got, yeah, that one's probably good. There are three or four that have, come up. We're pretty good. Oh, you know what? We should probably grab. Oh, it's this movie. Never mind. Don't do that one.

Think of it, though. Let's do children of the men, then. Show me. Children of the men. Children of the men. Malachi. That's a great one. That's a great one. Number nine. This guts back in this. 14. 13. 13. All right.

What'd you have? So one that was, well, someone in the chat mentioned the Matrix, which It's definitely post-apocalyptic, but I'm wondering if people will, you know, kind of equate it because most of it's in a post-apocalyptic thing because of the simulation. I say do it. I don't have a problem with it. Let's go.

Okay. All right. Show me, oh, the Matrix. Oh. Number four. Are you kidding me? That is awesome. Yeah, that's pretty good.

That's the only, so do they, silly question here, are all the other movies in the Matrix series, do they have a the or is it the matrix and then matrix reloaded matrix revolution oh i don't know is it the i think the the does up there in the corner isn't it it always seems to you're right yeah i think it's the all the way through yeah okay yeah i didn't know i wasn't sure about that either it's a good question i don't know i'm just you're shitting off top of my head i could be yeah i think it's just you know you always call it the matrix but then you say matrix revolutions you never nobody ever says oh yeah did you go see the matrix revolutions so i'm a little worried this is a little heady for some people, but I

maybe not. I don't know. I don't know how these people answer. I hope we can keep up. I hope you can keep up with this really smart answer I'm about to give you. My color is definitely not green. I like I really like the road by Cormac McCarthy, the book, and I love this movie as well. It's a little different, but I love it.

So, how do you, sure. When Magis, you want that? It's a classic. Good one. I will take your judgment on this. All right. Let's do 2009's The Road. All right. Show me the road. Oh, yes. Damn it.

No, the road. Not on there at all? The road did make it to number 13. It was popular. It made it up there close to the list, but just did not make the cut. Oh, man. That's such a good book. It didn't make the cut.

It's such a good book. Back to you, Dunaway, with your 14 points. Immediately after I failed last time, I immediately remember that I was wanting to say, which was 28 days later. That's such a good, yeah. Right? Yeah. Is that good?

Zambis? Sure. Zambis. Yeah. Listen, you don't get much more apocalyptic than that. All right. Show me 28 days later. That was a good one.

That was a good one. And it was number 11. It was so good. It was so close to being up the top. But is 28 days later post-apocalyptic or is 28 weeks? Like, does the apocalypse technically hand- happened between the two i would say that 8 28 it seems more apocalyptic because it's in the thick of it 28 days later they thought it they had it eradicated and then yeah right it's like the beginning

yeah i was thinking of that sandra bullock movie oh yeah you should have said 28 days oh yeah now you've given scout an answer yeah well done shame on you uh all right what about snowpiercer oh shit that's perfect snowpiercer that's a good one absolutely sign me up all right me, I hear the train are coming. It's coming around the bend. Sweet. Number seven, taking Scott and Winemegis up to 24 points to Brian's 14. Oh, I've got another great one, Scott.

What do you got? I would not have got that one. If it's not up there, it should be Wally. Oh, yeah, Wally's good. You know what? That feels like a tadpole answer as well, so I'm going to say. I think that's pretty good for the humans, though. I don't think that's bad for the humans.

Oh, I don't know. They all look like diabetic nightmares. We all got fat and drinking our Coke's and our little lawnful. This sounds like paradise. It kind of does. Show me wallow. Number two. Two extra points.

What was that voice? Was that Wally's voice that you were doing that? Oh, okay. It was really Stitch. It was Stitch if Stitch were impersonating Wally. What's that voice? I'm just checking. I just want to make sure what I was hearing because I thought I heard Stitch.

I don't have a vote coder over. here. I've got everything else. I could do your echo. I could do this, but I can't. I don't have no vote cutter. It's all good. How do you feel about the 10 Cloverfield Lane movie? Do you think that's enough on people's minds to matter? I think it's certainly good. Again, I've never seen it. Yeah. I mean, it's the other, the other one I considered, but it says movie on there is the last of us. Oh, yeah. I also, I also don't, the tabble has been known to ignore words like movie and you know when a TV show is just good

yeah yeah oh how about 20 I think also yeah go ahead I was just gonna say I also think this this survey came out right about the last of us being popular if I remember correctly yeah I could see that there's also the the 2012 movie that everyone always thinks about

I hate that movie but I know a lot of people like it like a little experiment or something what was that called no 2012 he's talking 2012 with John Cusack yeah yeah oh oh I thought you were talking about a You're talking about the actual movie 2012 as opposed to the Cloverfield that came out. Yeah, yeah. No, 2012, the one with the crazy, who was it?

Is it a Woody Harrelson that was crazy in that? Yeah, the one that proved that a limousine could make a really high jump across a chasm. Yeah. I also think Blade Runner should be on here. I don't know. Two months was left on the list. Let's see. Chat has 12 monkeys.

That one's good. 10 Silverfield Lane is probably a good one. and they're making fun of the spelling of snow piercer yeah which is which is incorrect you know what I did and that's because that wrong spelling of snow piercer came first alphabetically and when I go through the spreadsheet I sort and then I go find the first one of a group of them and then I just go and I copy the rest down there so yeah I know it's uh no that just shows zombie land is also on there zombie land that's when I wanted yeah I don't know which one to choose what to what I go zombie land.

That one seems the most popular of the ones that we mentioned. All right. Zombie land, it is. Let's try it. Okay. All right. It's weird. I keep losing audio from you guys.

Oh, really? Like, it'll disappear for a few seconds, and I'm not doing anything. I'm not downloading any Netflix movies to my iPad right now. Are we glitching out or is it just going out entirely? It goes out. It's like, oh, yeah, what about Zon? I don't see, that happened earlier. Yeah.

Weird. You do a pretty good impression of that. Yeah, that was good. That was really good. I thought it was a problem again. I have it hearing it, but it always comes back. All right, Zombie Land is what you're saying. Show me Zombie Land.

Oh, no. Ryan has got one last chance to get some points on the board. He needs basically, wouldn't it get one, because even if Brian gets a 10-pointer, he doesn't have enough to win, he gets to get both of them, which means you win. So, yeah. see what happens

what you think Scott was Scott was playing around with Blade Runner and I think that's going to be up there okay all right

he didn't already say it did he he didn't say it no I just I mean he said it it does not yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm going to hate it show show me Blade Runner oh wow

number but like what 12 11 12 right number 12 was Blade Runner so hugely really close to being in the top Yeah Now I am curious is Dune on the list

Because Dune isn't Why it's post-apocalyptic But definitely you could get the feel From the movie Yeah it has vibes for sure It has vibes Dune well let's tell you what these last two are shall we Yeah

Number five I'm actually surprised This one didn't come up at all And I don't even know if I saw people mentioning it in chat But maybe somebody did earlier Number five The Hunger Games Oh that's a really good one

That's definitely fits. So not World War Z then? All right. And number 10. Dredd. Oh, Dread's so good. Fred is good. Let's go through the rest of these that you didn't say number. Yeah. Yeah.

Is Dread post-apocalyptic or is it just dystopic? It probably is more dystopic than post-apocalyptic, but you can see where the head space is. Oh, yeah. Like, Children of Men is kind of that way, too. It's just really conflicted time. Is Dread on the film sack list?

Because that feels like a saccable movie. I thought we did it. It definitely should be. I thought we did it. Didn't we do it? Somebody look it up while I tell you the rest of the answers and the popular answers. Number 14. Chat keeps saying this one now.

Sure, it's a little late now, chat. The Postman, number 14. That one we absolutely should do for a film sack, but we need to do one on a week where Brian Dunaway is off from work so that he can have the time to watch a six-hour film. Yeah. Number 15, Zombie Land. Sean of the Dead, Tank Girl, Tank Girl's a good one, Terminator, the Terminator series,

12 Monkeys, a boy in his dog, Damnation Alley, Interstellar, Resident Evil, The Stand, not a movie, Don of the Dead, Oblivion, Dune did make it on the list, number 30 on the list, Edge of Tomorrow, Escape from New York, Night of the Comet, one of my favorites. Oh, I love that one, yeah. Yeah, Soylent Green, 10 Cloverfield Lane did make it on the list. Akira, Alita, one right after another. Birdbox, cyborg, Finch, Idiocracy, Logan, Nassica Valley of the Wind.

You can see where we're skidding off the tracks here. Nine, Serenity. That's good. Warm bodies, World War Z. Apocalypse Now, I would argue that it's not post-apocalyptic because the apocalypse is now. Right. now. It's mid-apocalyptic. Yeah, it's a very weird.

Apple Seed, Avengers Endgame, Barbie, Blood of Heroes, Brazil, Buccaru Banzai, Cars, because Rodrigo of Major Spoilers has a theory. Yeah. Death Race 2000, which was the Carr's prequel. District 9,

Futurama, Happy Days, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Idaho Transfer. I don't know what that is. What else do we have here? Legally blonde. Legend, Lego movie, too. You can see where this is going. That's a good calling, Logan.

I like Logan. Logan's a great post-apocalyptic thing. I'm going to argue that Solangorin's a happy story. Because the world finds a new food source. For the record, we have not done Dread. We've only done Judge Dredd, which was the Stallone. Spinoff. Yeah.

No, it's not the old one. Dread, Dread, we want to do. Dread, Dread, we want to do. Because it's real good. yeah oh yeah for sure can uh if if you know the if you have to resort to cannibalism can you remain a vegan if you eat a vegan i'm gonna say no vegan is as vegan does no i'm gonna guess no as a vegan is meat yeah because a vegan is meat is grass-fed meat right i well i guess that makes sense because we don't we don't eat cows and we don't go oh therefore we do we do eat a lot of

vegan animals, don't we? We're a little funny part of this question is how many of these are potential film series on the list? I know. I know. At this list, I almost need to copy and paste into our film sack watch list because we need, uh, rain did we

parts through this list and see what we haven't watched yet. I like both those bird box movies. First one and second one. Those are great. I never saw the second one. First one I did like that. First one was all in Spanish, which was interesting. It was told from the perspective of Spanish speakers in Spain. And what happened there, which is, I just felt like an odd thing to set it in and do it in,

but it was good. I liked it. Oh, so maybe I saw the second one then. The one with Sandra Bullock was the second one? No, Sandra Bullock's the first one. There's no Spanish that I know of, is there? Okay. Or it wasn't in Spain. I think it was here. Anyway, that's what I thought. Okay. Yeah, they're both good. Oh, you're saying the second one was in Spanish. Now I'm getting you. Okay. Yeah, yeah. First one was not. First, but they're both great. And I don't know if we're going to get more of those, but man, that first one, John Malkovich was good in that. It was really good. Yeah, it was really good. Anyway, well, you know what this means. The meet, the winnings of the today. Hold on. The meat of today. The meat of today. Congratulations. You're a winner. That's right. When

Megas, you will shortly get codes from Brian if you haven't already. And for everyone else out there wishing that they could be on, if you're here live and you try to get in here, we try to let you in, especially new people, people we haven't seen before. We love to see new faces. We love the new people. That's right. Yeah, thanks, man. It's all usually say. Always a pleasure. We'll see you soon. Hey, Dunaway. Why don't we play some, let's play some dig-dug this weekend. What do you think of that? Dude, we should totally play some dig-dug, and we should play Dig-Dug 2,

and then we should play that really cool Dig-Dug game. What's it called? The one where the remastered, no, what do they call the stupid thing when they do the... Like the Atari Reloaded ones? Yeah, but it's not called that. Arrangement, that's it. Oh, yeah, Dig-Dug Arrangement. Really? Oh, I have not even seen that.

Please tell me it's a first-person shooter, a first-person pumper. It is not. It's still dig-dug, but you have boss fights and stuff. It gets a little more intense. A lot more characters than things. Yeah, it came out on PlayStation, I believe, or at least they include it in with a PlayStation collection. Yeah, 1996 it came out.

That's good. Yeah, I like that kind of stuff. They should do that again, because it's big to have these old arcade classics turned into, like, crazy light show kind of games now. Like, what were those ones we were talking about? Asteroids. Yeah, reloaded, or, or,

re-something. Yeah. Whatever that was. Rethought out. Yeah, the Yars Revenge one that now kind of re-imagines it is kind of like a Metroid-style platformer is very interesting to me. Yeah. I got to, I want all those. You can collect them all, everybody.

Anyway, that'll be tomorrow, 1.30 p.m. Is that tomorrow? That'll be Thursday. Sorry. We were doing on Friday. No, Friday. Sorry. My scheduled brain is all off today or this week.

Sorry, Friday. 1.30 mountain time. Be there or be square or just listen to the podcast. after. It's play retro everybody. Brian, kiss our butts. I got him. I got him. All right. We're going to take a break when we come back. Tom Merritt will be here. We'll also spend some time with our recommendals friends, or at least one of them. Nicole's got a thing, but Randy will be here. And that'll be after this song break. Brian, would you bring? Yeah, this is cool. This is a band that's been nominated for a Grammy. They're called Bones, UK. They are getting together

with Mike Schumann, who's the bassist of Queens of the Stone Age, for this song that you're about to hear. It's a raw ode to freedom and rebellion. They are going out on tour with the band Bush in August, so you can check him out there. Here is the band Bones, UK, and Won't Settle. I left them bys, want to pull

golden rings with my face. But I still need my knuckles free to punch. Though I glaze over my face when I'm dancing in the disco. The white lace over my face when I'm signing in the dark. I want to know me, but you can't own the heart.

Staying me now. I still love you know. My one and only can never own me I won't settle for anything other than everything I won't settle I won't settle for anything other than me I won't settle because when you stop the clock spins faster you don't want a part of your happy never off

But I won't settle for anything other than everything I won't settle. I love those thems, want to wrap silver steel and my ankles. So when I try to say all I do is sink. I flaw this car is so far till the city looks like star dust. Lay me down to the sound of a brand new friend. My one and only, but you can't own my heart. I'm not going to die.

My one and only, you'll never own. me. I won't settle for anything other than everything. I won't settle. I won't settle. I won't settle for anything other than me. I won't settle. Because when you stop, the clock spins faster. You don't want a part of your happy never after. I want to settle for anything other. everything I won't settle I won't settle for anything I won't settle for anything other than everything I won't settle I won't settle I won't settle for anything other than me I won't settle Because when you stop The clock spins faster

Don't want a part of your happy never off the floor I won't settle For anything other than everything I won't settle I want to settle I was just like America doesn't just run our dunking cars do too You don't deserve no Hitler's canoe

You say with Bush, like the band? Yeah, the Gavin Rostale band. Yeah, in August they're going to be going out on tour with Bush. I didn't know they were still together. I thought Bush broke up. I didn't either until I got this notification, but yeah. I think I've conflated them breaking up with him breaking up with Gwen Stefani. I think I've done that.

Yeah, probably. Yeah. The loaded greatest hits tour with Bush starting in Michigan, Stirling Heights, Michigan. and going all across the country, skipping over Colorado and Utah and going straight to Las Vegas, San Diego, Phoenix, and L.A. I guess we're flyover states for them. We're flyover states. We're drive overstates with the buses, the tour buses. That's right.

That was Bones, U.K., and won't settle. Excellent. Let's get Tom Meriden here and do a little tech time discussion with the man, the myth, the legend. Legend. Oh, I heard myself. Oh, I heard of my legend. And now I don't. We want Tom!

Hey, look who it is. It's Tom Merritt joining us like he does every freaking Wednesday. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought John Legend was joining you. Nope. He turned us down. He turned us way down, if you want the truth. No.

He said, turn down for what? Turn down for what? I love that song. Tom Merritt is here. He is the purveyor of all things tech, and next week will be physically with him as we do a daily tech news show and all the other fun stuff in Vegas. Yeah, it's going to be great.

It's going to be really good to see you. This will serve as my confirmation. You're both going to be on the show on Monday. Oh, okay. We're both good. Thumbs up. Yeah, I'm totally good. KT. Data save me some dim sum.

Yeah, yeah. Save us some dim sum or bring me a same, which I don't care which. I didn't want to assume. So, you know, I had a backup plan just in case. I was in my list to email you. and Scott and be like, okay, can you make it? Could you be on the show? That's what I would like.

By the way, are you good for being on America's next top podcast to this afternoon? We're recording at 4 p.m. You all set? Everything ready to go? No, I'm not. Actually, it's a thing at 4 p.m. Well, we see how this go. No, just kidding.

We are there with bells on. I can't wait. Happy to do it. Our Vegas episodes are always great. I can't wait to roll those buttholes. That's right. Roll. Oh, geez.

Now it's a tradition. She has to do it again. Tom Merritt, let's talk about tech for the day. What is happening out there that we should be paying attention to? Yeah, I'll be honest. We'll have this in Daily Tech News show today. I'm not sure how much we'll discuss it because we discussed the TikTok bill quite a bit on Monday with Justin Robert Young. So if you want to get the lay of the land on that, listen to that on Monday. And then I'll be on politics, politics with Justin on Friday talking.

about how this happened and what the next steps are and all of that. But the bill that would force bite dance to either divest itself of the U.S. arm of TikTok or stop distribution of TikTok in the United States past the Senate. And President Biden is signing it. He may have signed this by the time you hear my voice. So the clock will begin ticking then. once it's signed and published in the congressional record and it's, you know, legally a law and no longer a bill, then bite dance, I assume, will very quickly file a constitutional challenge to it. So there's a couple of things to keep in mind if you're someone who uses TikTok. It's not going away the minute the law goes into effect. The law says that bite dance has nine months to divest itself of the U.S. arm of TikTok.

and that the president can extend that three more months. So it could be up to a year if BightDance needs more time to finish or something like that. But they basically have nine months to decide to divest it and start getting that arrange. And as I said, BightDance is going to challenge this in court. They successfully challenged a somewhat similar law in Montana in court and won. the general opinion is that banning an entire app without a whole lot of evidence that there's any security threat behind it is just banning it because you don't like its speech and there's mountains and mountains of precedence and legal theories on both sides of the legal aisle, all sides of the legal aisle, that say you can't ban speech in the United States just because you don't like it. the government can't even ban Chinese propaganda. There's a famous court case where they tried to get the U.S. Post Office to stop delivering Chinese propaganda unless the mail customer filled out a form that said, yes, I do want to receive this.

And that got struck down in court. Said, no, you can't do that. So there's strong protections about that. Casey Newton has a pretty good article up on his newsletter today that explains that the one thing that the United States might be able to convince a court on. is national security. The courts tend to give the government widely way in national security issues, but you can't just go into court and go, national security, so it's banned, right? You have to convince the court that there is, in fact, a national security threat, and that will be the interesting part. And it might be part of the court case that becomes classified, because a lot of

the briefings around this have been classified to say, we have secret information that shows the threat, and we can show Congress people that, but we can't publish it to the world because we don't want China to know what we know. It will be interesting to see if they, this will call their bluff on that. Like if they have that, they're going to have to bring it into court to show the judges. Interesting. So let me ask you this question. Let's say they get the nine month deferral and it even goes the extra two, three months or whatever that the president can do. Either way, if there is a dead date, meaning a date where, okay, well, everything's run its course.

lost their case, it is being banned. If you have this app on your phone already, like a lot of apps that disappear from stores, Google Play Store or the App Store, if you still have the app on your phone, it's still there and it runs and in some cases services tied to are still running. In this case, are they banning like servers and IPs? And like, how do they actually enforce this thing? Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what the executive guidance on that is. Generally speaking, these kinds of things say you can no longer distribute it. So it doesn't stop the service from continuing to be available if you have the app on the phone. It will just say you can't, you can't list it in your app store anymore. If that's the way it goes, if you have TikTok,

you can keep using it as long as it works, but you won't be able to get software updates for it through your app store. So eventually it might, you know, become a security threat for you, just because it's broken, or it might just stop working altogether. There is, of course, using a VPN to go and tell the app store, I'm in a country that isn't banning. I'm not in India or the United States or China, where you actually can't get TikTok in China. You can only get Duyan in China. So you could use a VPN to get updates that way. Some people might do that. Honestly, in reality, a lot of people, people will just stop using it because even though it still works, they know that, you know,

the tide is moving against it. And it would probably move a lot of people off of it. Yeah. Well, just don't get comfortable, TikTok fans. That's all I'm saying. Don't get comfortable. Have a backup plan. You've got a year at least, right? And my guess is bite dance will get an injunction when they file the court case saying the clock shouldn't start ticking on this law. And if they do that, then the clock would not start ticking on the law until they're done with their court case. There's a couple ways that could go, which we could keep it happening in April of next year. But it's likely not going to happen until mid to late next year, if it happens at all. Of course, the other small chances that they sell it, that they come up with some way that satisfies the Chinese government, who is opposing a sale, bite dance, who is opposing a sale.

and the 60% of Westerners who own Bight Dance. Bight Dance is 60% owned by non-Chinese people. If they can come up with some way to satisfy all of those people, which doesn't sound likely to me, but it's not impossible, then maybe there's a version of TikTok that continues owned by Microsoft or some consortium of investors or something like that. Whether that could interoperate with the rest of TikTok, I don't know. You start to go into fan fiction land at that point.

Well, we'll have to see how it pans out. I don't know. The whole thing is, I'll be honest. I kind of just need them to just like make the call. Like what I, not that this, I need things today, but I'm just so sick at like this back and forth. And it feels like we've been doing it since like 2017 or something when that administration was all on a war path to ban it. That didn't happen. And then it felt like it all calmed down for a long time.

And now we're here we are. The executive order and said you can't do this by executive order. And that's why we have. have this legislation. It's like, well, if we can't do it by executive order, let's pass a law, which is the right way to do it. Yeah. So there you have it. Tom Merritt, this and many more things will be interesting today. I can promise you guys that. Did you know everybody that meta is considering making their operating system for the quest? Yeah, it will cross the board. Yeah, like almost open source or license, not open source, but licensing it to other stuff.

I'm glad you brought that up. Meta keeps trying to use the word open so that you'll that mistake. It's not really. They are licensing the proprietary elements of Horizon OS to other people. Those people are paying. This is not open. Horizon OS was already open source. Right. If you don't mind not having the best parts of it. Right. The Red Rock of the operating system has been open source since launch, but there are tons of proprietary elements that make it work well on the Quest and other headsets that is what meta is actually licensed. I think that's actually good for them to get out in front of because the open source options for VR stuff is starting to build. There's, like, really cool stuff on the horizon, no pun intended.

And they probably should get out in front of that, even though it's not open sourcing it. It is them saying, well, it's all the work's done. Why wouldn't you want to just license this for your hot little headset, whoever brand, you know, thing? So white labeling their service or their OS is interesting. So we're going to talk about that. It's similar to what Google does with Android. Android itself is open source, but the Google version, yeah, you've got to agree to Google's terms to get.

Yeah, that's right. Well, Tom, we'll do that later, and I can't wait. Anything else going on you'd like to mention to the folks at home? Yeah, go check that out. DailyTechnewshow.com. That's what Scott's going to be talking about today. And we have got Charlotte Henry on the show tomorrow. We've got Molly Wood coming on the show on Friday.

So all good things coming at Daily Technewshow.com. Go check it out. Go check it out. Tom Merritt, everybody. A.D. Tech on Twitter. We'll see you next time. Bye now. It's good, Tom.

All right. At least in Vegas, when he gives a thumbs up, he won't freeze right after he does it. Yeah, that'll be great. I look forward to that. It's very weird. It's just sometimes our connection, audio and video with him are just funky. I don't know why. It doesn't make any sense because when I go on that show later today or we have our meeting in Discord in about an hour after this show, no issues.

I don't get it. Interesting. I don't get it. Don't know. Don't know why it's so different here. Discord is just weird. It's just, you know, it's, it's. situational or something.

Must be. In this case, it really must be. I don't know what's going on. Do I have a giant mouth on me? People in chatter saying, uh... Oh, for only a second. It used to have, uh, it was on Tom because Tom was frozen, so I had a mouth on. Oh, to get his, but to get an actual moving mouth on top of Tom.

Yeah. Yeah, so when I, when I killed his video, it stayed where you were, so I had to delete it. Uh, all right. All right. You think it did. That's my real mouth. It's his real mouth and his head. Uh, okay.

I don't know who we're adding. Randy, that's who. Writing Randy. deluxe why isn't he oh why isn't he showing up for me

Randy did you accident oh there he is oh it's because I look for dandy dandy dandy relux turns out there are no dandies in our in our chat they should be though

I would disagree that good point all right how about some of this well what do you recommend oh look it's a real dandy of a guy Randy hi Randy the dandy

Hello? He's got a delay. He's laughing at something we said like eight minutes ago. Are you there, Randy? Is Discord all fruity today? What's going on? Here, let me try changing zones here. We're going U.S. West.

He's such as you. Good morning, morning, street. Yeah, I know. I'm a little worried about that. He's typing sound issues on my end. Okay, no worries. Oh, okay. All right.

We heard you laugh. Yeah, we heard you laugh. If you could hear us. I don't know if you can hear us. Whatever you were laughing at, we heard it. Oh, I'm good things. How are you? Yeah, I'm doing great.

No issues. Randy, we'll patiently wait for your issues. I got it. I fixed it. Yay, fixed it. It's good to have you here, man. How are you? Good morning, morning stream.

I had an entire thing with my PC the other day. I just, we had a power surge, like, in the middle of the night. Yeah. And then my motherboard was one working. Oh, no. like I'm on the good side of a full reset like a CMOS build from scratch and and Windows does not like it. Windows is like you have ruined everything. But I'm I'm getting there. I'm slowly finding all the problems. We had with the when we had our blizzard Friday and Saturday we had little blips power outage blips and two of them close enough in succession really screws things up because you get one things restart okay in the right order here. But if you get two in the wrong, in the wrong. wrong order to one right after another, the router turns on before the modem or one of these things and all of a sudden something that I don't know becomes the new DHCP server. And so I

spent Sunday morning, Saturday night and Sunday morning like turning off every router and switch that we have. We have a mesh network, but we have some wired switches as well, turning everything off and then turning each item on one at a time to make sure that everything comes on in the right order. Pain in the arse is what that is. In my case, I had to be the arse. In my case, I had a hardware expert on the phone say to me there's no way your power search caused this. I'm like, um, like I know I had a power surge because every device

in the house, you know, was affected. Yeah. Yeah. But like I'm it's just, it's very, very clear that point A leads to point B. It just was very scary because I was concerned that I'd lost everything. Yeah, that can happen. I don't even know what the right surge is these days, surge protection. I don't even know what. I think

I've got something on my whole setup that's supposed to be strong enough, but I don't really know. I haven't, I haven't had a moment to know. I am in the market, so hook me up. Let's talk. Yeah, everybody talk about your favorite ways to protect your surges and we'll implement them. Well, Randy, it's time for recommendals.

Let's get to it. We're going to start with Brian. Brian, you got a little something here. What do you want to say about your clip? A little something here. Animated series that's part of a bigger world, a bigger universe. Oh, a whole new world. Oh, it's not Aladdin.

It's not Aladdin. Sorry, don't you dare close your eyes. Is there a talking lizard? Oh, no, that's a different movie. Anyway, here it is. Let's play your clip. You know why I like you, Cap? I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't like me.

You're a genuine good guy. There's no shenanigans with you. Nah, I'm too old for shenanigans. That's why you haven't even brought up looking for your boy. Because you know where he is, you know. You're not even going to try to pretend otherwise. So you're going to try and bring him? again. I assume so.

I'll tell the guards not to shoot the, um, teenage boy running at them with his dick. Yeah, yeah, but, you know, you shot Annie with a trink and then shot her dog, for real. It's very confusing. Kid, you have no idea how confusing this whole last month has been for me. You? You? Your. What is that? Gotta to admit, I have no idea what this is. Yeah, that is the only piece of the monsterverse that I hadn't seen, and so I fixed that. That is the animated Netflix series, Skull Island, eight episode, one season, although they are, the second season.

has been written and people are on board. They're just waiting for Netflix to green light it. Hopefully they do. This came out just under a year ago, June 2023, and it takes place in the 1990s. It's a 2023

release, but takes place in the 1990s. So after, obviously after some of the events of Monarch and after Monster Island, the one with Hittleston and all those people. but before the newer stuff that we've been seeing with Godzilla and King Kong and all that.

This is a group of people who get stranded on Skull Island and have to figure out a way to survive. Voices you were hearing there were Betty Gilpin, you know, from Nurse Jackie and The Hunt and all those things of Glow. And Benjamin Bratt is cap. I like him. He's cool. Yeah. There are a few, a few well-known names here. May Whitman also does a voice you know her from Parent.

hood and she was one of the evil exes in Scott Pilgrim. Nicholas Cantu, Darren Barnett, Phil Lamar, Frida Wolf. Anyway, this is... Phil Lamar, you say. Phil Lamar, I'm not kidding about that. Phil Lamar and John DiMaggio in here, two Futurama boys are... Oh, Phil Lamar, okay, all right. Yeah, he plays...

I lost over that in because I didn't recognize it, but from Matt to me... Wait, whoa, whoa, really? Yeah, I didn't recognize the name of Phil Lamar. Oh, man, he's one of my favorites. He's in every... He's Samurai Jack. Hermes. Semirite Jack, Green Lantern. Yeah. And he's the guy that got shot in the face.

In the face. Pulp Fiction, yeah. He's the guy in the back seat. Oh, okay. Yeah. Wow. He's got quite the career, that guy. He is. Yeah, I know a lot of Phil Lamar, apparently, and I didn't realize I knew so much Phil Lamar. Sure. Yeah, so this is, you know, right now the first season, and it does, it does have a story arc

that somewhat concludes that it does introduce some things that make it ready for a season two, but if you, if a season two never comes, you won't feel disappointed. that you watch season one. I will say that this feels like, and I don't know if this was intentional, but it feels like a Saturday morning animated show from like the late 80s and 90s when it takes place. It's got a little bit of not a X-Men 97.

We're trying to make it look janky feel, but maybe, you know, maybe they kind of rolled into that. Definitely got some budget, budget um anime vibe yes yes the stuff it's funny because the the stuff with the people is uh is pretty good the stuff with uh king kong is really good the animation that they do for king kong for some reason that's where they they really worked hard um uh it's uh it's lore and it's canon in the monster verse but i will tell you that it doesn't um the things that happen in this have you have no

on the other storylines or the oh Brian's kind of in a little pocket did I cut out again

you did but you're back I think you're back sorry it was a weird weird it's made that sound it made that sound again where you went away for a long time but it did come back

but it wasn't me faking at this time yeah sorry go ahead continue so yeah so this this is it's all part

of the monster verse lore and canon but nothing in here nothing has happens in here that references anything that happens in any of the movies or the other TV shows. It exists in its own thing, but it's part of camera. The thing is poorly marketed. I didn't even know this was out there. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't until I was looking up until we watched Godzilla, the 2014 Godzilla for a film sack, that I

realized, oh, there's a whole part of the Monsterverse that I haven't seen yet. And the poster, notwithstanding, does this series have the Monster? front and center, or is this one where we're focused on the people and he's kind of in the background? More of a 50-50, right? The King Kong, you don't see until maybe the third

episode or fourth episode, but there are plenty of other monsters on Skull Island that you encounter before then. So it does focus on the people, but you get a lot of these other monsters and some of which like those weird you can see in the bottom left corner on the

movie poster, the one that has like a weird exoskeleton skull thing over a lizard body. Yeah, down here on the right. I think we see, we see that in one of the other, one of the films. Like, we see that, that specific monster. These are all things that are coming from the island. These are all native. Correct.

These are all, right. These are all island monsters and, and my gosh, there are a lot of them. Not crossover, kaiju type stuff or any of that. No, no, there's a cracking, but you kind of get that idea also from the movie posters. Um, yeah, it's Skull Island. Listen, it's not, um, you're not going to say it's the best thing you've ever seen, but you're also going to have a good time if you watch it. It's not, uh, it's got like a 75 or 80% rating on, uh, on Rotten Tomatoes.

It's, it's, it's, it's well liked. And if you, or if you're doing all of the Monsterverse films, there are far worse things you could spend your time watching. But, um, uh, but, but, but, you know, it's a nice little quick, enjoyable thing. 30, 30 minutes. 8.30 minute episodes that feel like you're watching Saturday morning cartoons. And if you're searching for it, remember, Kong,

colon's Kong Island is a movie. This is just Skoll Island. Just playing Skull Island. Yes. Nice. Looks good. Brian, are you going to watch the Gamera Rebirth series? Oh, I see. Now, this is something I haven't heard of. A co-worker just told me about this

like last week. There was a Japanese series that was made sort of at the same time as this one. Okay. And it's in Japanese, all Japanese stars. And it's also hit Netflix. Oh, this looks good. Last year. Yeah, this looks great. Wow. Yeah, I probably will watch this. This looks cool. Oh, look at that. I've been into the animation lately, like the, you know, Wolverine and X-Men. I think X-Men 97 may have gotten me back

into the mood for some, some animation of varying quality. That's great. But this looks like, this is gorgeous. I like the look of this a lot. Yeah, it's a trippy art. For me, the mood has to be to, you know, read the English subtitles. Like, that's, if I'm in the mood, it's going to be good. Yeah. But if I'm not, uh, I like a lousy dove. I don't mind a dub. I was going to say, how's

the dub on this? I hate when animated characters' mouths don't match the words that they're saying. Yeah. Well, you'll get some of that, I'm sure. You'll definitely get some of that, but probably not as bad as if there was live action. Yeah. I like me some, I like me some bad dub. I'm not a

yeah. I don't hate it. Then you'll like Skull Island. Oh, sweet. Good deal. All right, let's move on to Randy's pick this week. Randy, set your thing up for us. What do you got here? Everybody's talk about this.

It's not going to be a big surprise. I sent you the very, very beginning. This is not going to actually be that great, this clip. And it's because this is a person trying to do comedy in real life. And it's just like you've got to see it to really get how funny it is. But the person here has gone to another country, and he's standing on the doorstep of someone who is not expecting him. All right. Excellent news.

Let's start with that. It's running the package real out. What's up? You package for you out? Yep. Comey. Did that sound like me? Hey, y'all, come on out here.

Holy shit. Ah, look! Oh, my God. God. Yeah, I came to see you. He came all this way, just for me? Yes. Oh, my God.

Just for you. Bye. You're trembling. Wow, this is crazy. I mean, my goddamn crocs out here. That's you and your crocs. That's okay. That's okay.

It's so nice to meet you. Likewise. Yeah. So you didn't know I was coming. No. Not at all. Yes. Fantastic.

All right. I recognize that voice. Tell us what it is. This is Conan Mustco. And for some reason, if you search it online, it's called Conan O'Brien, Musco. And I really thought it was just called Conan Musco. Conan Musko is a travel documentary where the comic and famous host Conan O'Brien attempts to go to foreign countries and never present anything that you would find in a travel documentary. he he really is actually going out of his way to be in weird situations things you could find anywhere or things you could only find there but he finds it and presents it as as just like absolutely disconnected from the country itself yeah so this first one is in norway he is um you know he's just traveling around like it's kind of like sets up the whole series uh you get to know um

like that there's a cameraman with a drone and like like it's it's so focused on him and these individual people that it's just funny and and it's like this long joke and it's and it's funny all the time i'll tell you what one of these it's like a subgenre of comedy that i am always in on and it's when you send somebody like him out into the world doing shit other examples uh michael palin had that around the world thing he used to do yeah yes You have... Eugene Levy recently. Oh, yeah, and that was really good, too.

Yeah. I like the Jeff Bridges or Jeff Goldblum thing, even though that... Goldblum's thing, yeah. He's not really a stand-o comedian or even a comedian per se. He's funny, but it's still worked in that way, right? I love that. Even that Better Feed-Fill thing, which is basically Phil Rosenbaum going around the world, eating food that's ridiculously beautifully filmed.

It's just food porn, but it's there's something about... Oh, Idiot Abroad, another good one. All that kind of shit, totally at my alley. This looks like my jam. I cannot wait to watch this. We're going to binge this. And it's not that you will learn nothing about the locations he goes to. It's just that what you learn is going to be useless.

It's going to be absolutely a nothingness because Conan is standing out on the street and stopping a complete stranger and asking them random questions. Or going to, going to some kind of like local thing, like a thing like in the Norway episode he goes to a village where people pretend to be vikings and like you would go you go oh well that sounds like something i would do as a tourist it's not it's not at all and and what conan does is just play dress up and charge around with a sword you know and it's ridiculous and it's funny and i wish they had made more i hope they make more i hope there's a future where we get a lot of these because he is perfect for this he his perspective is constantly what's the funny

thing going on here let's put the camera on that yeah and we're all having a moment with him anyway so let's just let's celebrate it and do all the shit his podcast is great his appearance on hot ones was legendary like it's time to realize that you hire you you you pick the wrong horse NBC with your with your freaking night thing he should still be on there you should still be hosting it not that I'd rather not have him do another cool thing yeah you know we get we get a we get him maybe even in a better scenario with us really yeah you know he's 60 now and I think that that ship sailed a long time ago for him he is really like in this series especially he is like saying out loud this is the kind of thing that I want to spend my later

years doing I want to be making jokes and making finding fun things and sharing them with people and that's that's enough for him yeah like I you know I I imagine that going forward we're going to see you know late night is catching another generation of of younger people like Taylor Tomlinson and that kind of thing well that's great conan o'brien must go is on hboh max right now the four episodes are norway thailand argentina and ireland and again doesn't really matter where they are like you're not gonna you're not gonna go oh we should watch the argentina episode i mean yes there will be there will be soccer but oh it's not necessarily something you watch oh we're planning we're planning a trip to town we need to watch this beforehand oh yeah exactly what to check out

he's uh he's in norway and he's got like a full on like uh viking beard and stuff that's cool i like that yeah yeah he again like the norway episode the through line for it is the guy that he goes and surprises and meets is a is an amateur like music musician and so conan drags the guy into a studio and conan records a song yeah conan makes up the words yeah and then then they get the song all set down and then Conan's traveling around Norway trying to find someone to play the song and he does at the end he finds he finds like a radio station that'll put the song on the air and it is so ridiculous it is just like you you will love this I promise you you will love this they should have had Andy Richter drive him around that should have been that would be great

yeah oh my god they're probably done with that together well that's great check that out again Conan O'Brien must go available on max right now it is fun how close yours is to mine. Mine is kind of a proto version of this. It's very old, but I've been binging it. Oh, no, you know what? I didn't choose that because it's not streaming.

Sorry, my brain just went left. I was going to say, you're just a stand-up hour, right? It's just a stand-up hour. So, if you remember back in the early 2000s, David Tell had that insomniac show, which was basically him going around town in different cities after midnight, from midnight till

daytime to just find out what jobs were happening, what bars were open, like that kind of thing. It's in this vein, right? Well, the reason I got to confuse is because what started me on the David Tell train was he has a new special out. I watched that, which we'll play a clip for in a second. And then I went and got on somebody's Plex server and binged all those old Insomniac episodes. So on my head, I'm recommending Insomniac today. I'm not, all right?

I'm clearly not. I'm talking about this instead. Here's my clip. I'm in San Diego, which is my most favorite town of Mexico. And, you know, oh, that's where SeaWorld is. Do you know SeaWorld, the Aquatic Auschwitz? Either way, yeah. A big puddle of sad, if you ask me.

Now, I'm not an ocean guy, all right? Even though I look like I know my way around a tugboat. I'm not an ocean guy. Hey, you know what? You see me in the ocean? I'm going to the bathroom. Yeah. I was down at the wharf.

Have you been down there? Fisherman's wharf? Oh my God. I think I did it. That is the only place where you can step in. Dog, man, and seal shit. Yeah. Yeah.

The trifecta. I did it. All right. I look like I should belong in a boat joke is because he spends the entire special dressed up like he is about to step into deadliest catch. Oh, really?

That's how he dressed now. That's all he dresses like now. Like if you see him his interviews that were promoting this, he's all about like a beanie all pulled down. He looks like a stinky old fisherman out getting fish. But anyway, David Tell, who's also in his 60s now, is a really funny comedian, I think. I used to really like this guy a lot back in the day.

I found him to be extremely edgy, which of course he is. But also there's something real lovable about him, and I heard he had a new special on Netflix, so I binged it or watched it. It is Dave Attell Hot Cross Buns. Watch it, and you'll understand what those are, if you don't know what those are. A lot of people already do,

but I didn't until I watched it. And he also does some weird, almost insomniac style stuff at the end. So stick around. Oh, really? Post, like, pre-credits, post-credits kind of thing? I don't even know if they're showing credits during it. It's like this weird, offshoot, separate show thing.

It's hard to explain, but it felt like insomniac. I think they should hire him and do a whole new season of that because that show was freaking great. You'd follow like garbage people around or the sewage system people that had to work the night shift or whatever. They were always really funny back in the day.

But anyway, David Tell, Hot Cross Buns, new hour of comedy. I think it's a good special. You know, it's up there with everything he's ever done. I think he's probably got some better records under his belt, but it's fun seeing him aid. into a slightly different tone and I don't know I had a good time with it it's on Netflix available now yeah the reason I didn't suggest this and I I watched it

when it hit Netflix is I can't believe how badly they balanced the sound on this on this thing it like if you have the wrong setup all you're gonna hear is the crowd laughter it's so weird the crowd laughter for me was so freaking loud well I don't know maybe I think they fixed the sound I don't think they did I think you're right it is inconsistent i i think my feeling when it came away from it was because it was filmed in a very small club and as opposed to some arena or something not arena but like you know if you see i'm trying to think of a recent one um malaney up on stage his is a big thousand you know whatever but dave just his whole vibe is like small club scene and this felt like a small

smoky you know laugh factory kind of vibe and I think the sound in there just kind of sucks Netflix is usually pretty good about fixing problems after the fact I have had many times where I'm like I'm check something out a month from now and then it's good they fixed it

just this this was like the day it came out I put it on and I'm like am I going to turn on the subtitles here and turn like turn the volume down I don't know it was it was really really bad no I agree the crowd balance was off I don't like subtitles for comics because my eyes

cause my brain to get ahead of them. You know what I'm saying? Sure. That feeling. Yeah. I do that with video games. If I have credit those on, I tend to skip dialogue,

even though I'd rather hear it than read it. But I still do it because my brain gets ahead with the reading. It's weird. But yeah, this is, it's very good if you, if you're into Dave Attell. If you don't like David Tell's comedy,

you're probably not going to like this because it is very David Tell. Like, he has not changed for you. He is what he is. And he is still doing what he does. And I find him, I find him hilarious, so go check it out. That's David Tell, hot crossbuns, available on Netflix now.

All of these will be up on quicktms.lis, they are already, like magic. Like magic. So go check that out. Randy, is there anything you'd like to say before we send you on your way? I just want to say, I hope you guys have a really, really good time on your trip. Unless I magically show up in Las Vegas on Sunday, this can be last time. I talked to you for a couple weeks, and it's just like, it looks like it'll be really, really good. Yeah, it should be fun.

We're totally going to miss you. We need to get you and Nicole and Stephen. We need all of our, the whole TMS and film psych family and done away to 2025. The crazy thing about living four hours from Las Vegas is I don't actually live four hours from Las Vegas. I live either one hour from Las Vegas, which is the flight time or about eight. Like the drive over there is never free and clear, ever. But they're working on it. Yes, you know, little bullet train, little speed light rail thing, monorail or something,

whatever kind of thing happening. They're doing one from Salt Lake down there too. I don't know how that's going to look, but that got approved. Yeah. So apparently I'll be able to hop on some kind of train thing in the future and just go down. From Denver, Bodeau. Our commute time, though, isn't as bad. Like, for whatever reason, well, I know the reason.

We just don't have as much traffic from L.A. But L.A. is just, like, clogged traffic in here. Occasionally, if they're doing some kind of road work, we'll get stuck in a mess. But for the most part, it's like five hours, bam, bam, boom, you're done. So, Randy, move out here is what we're saying. I think you're going to have a great time. And, you know, as I've told you, I'm working on our list. I think we're going to have a really good summer season for Filmsack.

A lot of really fun things. Exciting stuff. Do on my list of post-apocalyptic movies that aren't called Mad Max? I watched I was here and I just got to I just got to join whoever said how is Sean of the Dead not on this like it is the best post apocalyptic movie it's pretty great it's on there but it's like low on the list right Brian it was like way down like 30 yeah it was like uh in the 10 high teens or 20s or something yeah so somebody somebody thought of it people said it just didn't make not enough to make it make it up that's right check out this weekend we'll have a film sack up it'll be a round table where we take your questions And then the following week we get started on our summer of fun. Summer of fun. We decided what our next movie is, or do we want to wait and announce that? Give me some time.

I'm totally fine. I hate this moment when it's like less than a week until the end of the month. Yeah. Yeah. All we know for sure is it is not Crossroads. It is not Crossroads. So if you watched Crossroads, Ha, Sucker. Well, good news if your patron, Brian did a thing about Crossroads that will go up on Tuesday or something next week.

mini bonus sack, a mini sec bonus from me, all about Crossroads. I'm going to do one too. Oh, you should. Go for it. Yeah, you should. You totally should. Let's all four of us do one. No, no, no. The three of us. The three of us. The three of us not done away.

Yeah, exactly. We should do these solo sacks about this movie that Dunaway doesn't want to watch. Oh, I don't want to see that movie either. So it's you too. You guys do it. Yeah. I have zero desire. But I, we desire to see you again here on recommendals. Bye. All right. There goes, Randy. Into the ether, everybody.

Oops, sorry, wrong button. Somebody sent me a compilation to these wrong button things I do sometimes. Oh, my gosh, I bet that's funny. I haven't played it yet, though. Was it Racer? No, who sent this to me? See, I might have it right here. If I have it, I'll just play it. Wasn't Knox.

Who was it? Is it Bantha fodder? No. Not Wooge, man. Man, I talked to too many of you. Was it Kip Singer? Oh, this is it. Okay, this is great. This really is pretty great.

So this is a compilation of all the times, I guess I hit the wrong button, which is a lot. All right, and it was from, I want to give him proper credit. This is from Kipzinger, aka Greg in our community. He made this. It's amazing. Enjoy. But probably not. Whoops, I don't know why that pledged. Like, oh shit, why is that playing? T-I-M-O-T-H-O-T-H-O-M-M-M-G.

Oh, my gosh, that's loud. America, it's different because X is... Right now. Did you get a chance to play at all? I don't know why I have a chance to... Sure. I personally... I love...

I don't know why that's playing, so... What's the word? Yeah, we get a little 20-hour deal, recovery. How many pages of manga would it have to be to convince you? Sorry. No, wrong one. I did bill again. Hold on.

Here's Bobby's. Like three games a day and drop them like. That was loud. Yeah. No, no, no. It'd be like 90. Whoa. Shit, don't play that.

Oops. Well, what do you recommend? I don't know why that played twice. Sorry, everybody. I'll give you that. All right. I look forward to humbling you. Whoops, sorry.

Go ahead. We shouldn't. She'll have way about her name. Sorry. I have got the jumpiest. Soundboard today. Apologies, everyone. All right.

So a quick note about that. The reason this happens, Brian is a shortcut key on OBS, you're number four. So when I hit number four, it goes to you. Here's me hitting three. Here's me hitting four. Chat room. You can see me going back and forth, right?

Yeah, right. Now, if I accidentally have my soundboard in front of me, number four on the soundboard is this. So that's why that one is so prominent. It depends on which board I'm on. That's the best one. Like, that one keeps coming up in that clip. And it's, if you listen to this like it's all happening at one time

and not a bunch of little clips, it's like this button just keeps getting in your way. And you're like, did it, da-de-de-de-de-de-de. Ah, damn it. I know. It's really a frustrating. It's annoying because I just need to glance real quick and go, what's in the foreground?

Okay, OBS, I'm fine. Hit four and Brian, up comes Brian. Does anyone have an extra, you know, Elgado stream deck that they can send Scott so he can actually separate his soundboard from his it wouldn't work it wouldn't work

I have a stream deck wherever it is so it doesn't like it won't let like bypass whatever the front most application is or whatever and just go right to soundboard and only trigger things there no it will do so

so here's the problem it will let me go oh open OBS or oh open up Farago but it won't let me say play what is normally in the ex position on Farago like there's just

application stuff. Now, I can do scene switching stuff with OBS, but it's just a little fiddly. It's just easy. The way I have this setup, I'd literally hit four. There's Brian. Three, there's Scott. Two, there's both of us. Five, there's the screenshot of the Ted Pooley thing. Like, it's easy. But if I don't have it in front, I'm pushing other buttons and everything is suddenly that damn thing. Yeah. Okay. All right. Wow. Anyway, thanks a lot for sending that in. That was great. Greg. We appreciate it. All right. We're going to get out of here. quick note. This happened, or has this happened to us, is the question.

For TMS, hi Scott and Brian. So I'm wondering if this is something that's happened to you. I used to be able to recite all 20 of the something betters from the movie Roxanne, all 20. But now I can remember only a handful. Is there something you used to be able to remember entirely, but now not so much of? For me, it was like early Bill Cosby albums. I could just rattle them off. God, now you say that.

I could do the entirety of George Carlin's class clown. Like, boy, do you want me to give you? I could say something that would make you have to go back and censor this episode. Do it. How quickly I can do the, uh, piss shit, fuck, uncoxel the motherfucker, and tints. Wow. That is, that put us there. That put us there for sure.

Still, still can run that out like that. But, uh, and, you know, all the wonderful Wino radio and, uh, uh, uh, And the hip, what was it? It was a hip-d-n-g-g-ha-that one that Carlin used to do. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. But, but that's it. Those are the only two or three things that I can remember from those albums.

And, yeah, it's always comedy albums. I did the same thing with, what, Rob, Eddie Murphy, Raw. You used to have that kind of memorized. That got me in trouble sometimes with family. For sure. Back in the way. But it's funny because I was looking at this, like, the 20 something better is like, oh my God, yeah, the whole, the scene where Steve Martin

bets that he can come up with 20 better insults about his nose than the guy who says something in the bar and he says like, okay, how about Shakespearean? But forsooth, it is a nose that I gaze upon, blah, blah, blah. Or how about Brooklyn? Hey, is that a nose you walking here? Whatever. Like he goes through and actually comes up with 20 specific categorizable. insults about his nose that were better.

And it's him in a room full of people, right? He's in a bar, yeah, he's in a bar, and he's got the whole crowd laughing with him at this guy who says, you got a really dumb-looking nose. And he says, oh, that's the best you can do? Oh, man, I love that movie. Yeah, that movie's great. I need to go watch Roxanne. I was super into it back in the day.

I haven't seen it in ages, but I loved it when it was out. Plus, I'm all over Steve Martin's stuff right now because of that Steve Martin documentary. It's so good. Yeah, I got to see it. You said last time I talked to you were like halfway through. Did you finish it? Halfway through the first one. I finished the first episode, getting ready to watch the second.

Nice. I took a break from it to watch the last bit of Skull Island and Crossroads and the thing I'm going to recommend it in two weeks next time we're all together. Nice. Well, there you have it, everyone. Thanks for that note. We appreciate it. And that's going to do it for today's show. We will be back tomorrow.

We have a Thursday edition of the show. It'll be Wendy's last episode before some of you. see her live in Las Vegas. So tune in for that tomorrow. Don't know what we're talking about yet, but we'll find something cool. And if you've got a question for Wendy, now would be the time to send it. Uh, that'll do it for us. FilmSack.com slash TMS is our website. All things are there. That'll do it for us. Brian, let's take us out with a song. You know, Wendy should talk about FOMO because there's going to be so much of that being experienced in Vegas because there are so many, uh, events and things, unofficial events that are going on concurrently like,

oh man I want to watch DTNS but then we got some people going over to the pinball Hall of Fame and then we've got this other thing going on so you know maybe that's a topic if she needs one of like talking about how to deal with that and how to just get over it just say you can't attend everything how to lose your FOMO I wonder if there's a way yes yeah maybe maybe all right let's go to yeah and for the people who actually can't make it out there that's another good one right there sure um all right this is going now to ash who wrote in and said and Brian, I just completed a part of my trans journey. Yay!

I added that last part. I officially changed my name to Ash, so I was hoping to get a cover of Shania Twain's Man, I feel like a woman, played. Thanks for the show, guys. Love you. Ash. Nice. Congratulations. Well, gosh. I'm not going to play the version that Brittany Spears

and Zoe Salada and Teran Manning sing in the film Crossroads. Go check out my Patreon about a sec. But I'm going to play this version right here.
