Waxing mom's nipples. Do you honk? Taco Bell content. The wearable third wheel. Aha, regular James Hong. I wish to register a complaint. Yank me candle. And the soda tastes like wood.

Hey, I'm driving here. I have lawyer needs. I have enough friends with Tom. Full-throated Ray with Randy and more on this episode of The Morning Stream. Thank you very much. Oh, thank you very much. Goodbye. Goodbye.

Do you seek Jamaharon? I don't even know what it means. The morning stream. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can. Who gives a damn? Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is the morning stream. And today's date is Wednesday, July 31st, the last day of July, 2024. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Abbott. Hi. Hello, we are about to completely achieve and complete July 24. How does that make you feel? How do you feel about July whip and pass like that? I'm ready for, I'm ready for July to be gone. I'm ready for July to be done. I think I over, I overgained. I'm really loud all of a sudden, aren't I? Yeah, you're a lot louder than you were.

When you turn it, it makes like a little... Coming back down. How about this? Good? Good. Down sounds great. Sometimes you turn it, you hear that little like it's like a shortener or whatever. But they sound great right now. No issues now. All right. It is where it stays. It stays right here, it stays here, everybody. Welcome to the show. Glad to be here. Also, last July was one of the worst Julys of my life. It's when we had the pipe problem and everybody got sick and we had no water. The poops. It was a nightmare.

It was a nightmare. This year, a little smoother, very busy, but smooth much much better july i could have done without the last uh week of july but uh to those of you who aren't in the chat room and aren't listening live uh the announcement is i tested negative today so no more covid for me covid free brian is covid free free costs you nothing to have that's right just in time for for the weekend it'd be cool if you if you if you hung around you you would get greater immunity just by being around you you know like your wife will like just Well, I guess she's in immunity time anyway. She's immunity time, too, because she had it two weeks ago.

That's right. Yeah, I feel like, you know, it's a double-edged sword. I feel like the lift driving, which is now very occasional, but still need to do it every once in a while, the lift driving is double-edged sword. It, I think, boosts my immunity because I get maybe small doses of a cold or, you know, this or that, little things that don't. that my system is able to process because I'm only around somebody for maybe a couple minutes.

Sure. But then I get somebody in my car who's like, COVID, and then, you know, I've got it. And you're in a little tiny space, you know? Right, exactly. I should have, I don't know why I don't,

but I should, and I will from now on, keep a mask in my car. And as soon as I hear somebody, you know, over-sniffling or over-clearing their throat or whatever, I'm putting the mask on. I don't care if they feel a little, offended. It's like, nah, you know. Yeah, not worth it. Also,

you should do it. In fact, because you have to do it and no matter what, they're going to notice it, you should do it really hardcore. Like, as soon as it go, you just grab your glove box, bam, open that thing up, pull out a mask, like violently put it on yourself. Slap on the brakes, pull over the side of the street, put on the

mask. Okay, we can go now. And don't even say anything. Just like it's normal. This is what we do. All right, we're off to our destination. How are you doing? Having a good afternoon? You can tell, them now through your mask? That'd be amazing. Exactly. And totally agree with Jeannie in the chat room that says they should be wearing the mask since they're the one coughing. Oh, I so agree. And I feel like that needs to be a thing that we adopt from at least Japan where I saw it all the time.

People not feeling well, put on a mask. And it's they do it because they want to protect other people from them, not to protect themselves from other people. Yeah, we did it in China too when I was there. Everybody was masked up if they needed to be. And you know what? I'm going to go ahead and say that we never quite get there. I think our culture is too weird. I don't think we have it in us to do that. We're too individualistic. We have a very different... We are way to every man for themselves in this country, and it just, it sucks.

You know the new thing that ticks me off? Literally cutting corners. I'm not talking about, oh, I saved 18 cents at the drive-in by getting the combo meal instead of the individual items. No, I mean, cutting corners like you're... Somebody is making a left turn in front of you coming from the right side, and they make a diagonal that cuts into your lane to do so. Like they cut corners by going right through my lane before I get there. Do you honk when this happens?

No, I don't, and I should. I mean, I don't know what the right thing to do is. Is it to honk? I don't know. It probably is to honk, you know, just put a little, hey, in front. end them, that sort of thing. The other thing is the people who are in a left turn lane. So let's say everybody's going, we're all going on the side of the street.

Left turn lane opens up. They get into that left turn lane. And to make their left turn, they feel like they've got a Tokyo drift that business and go into my lane out of their left lane into my lane to make a left turn. Yeah, F that noise. Yeah, it's that noise. Believe me, believe me. Your car manufacturer made your vehicle able to make a left turn without having to fasten the furious your way into my lane to make your left.

Okay. I agree. And I think a good, a nice big, her is appropriate. Hey, there. Hey, cannonball run there. You don't need to get into my lane to make a left turn. All right, cha-cha. Okay.

I call him cannonball run. Hey, Dom Deloese. Hey, Mario Andrade, you could probably make me. that left turn in your forerner just by staying in the left turn lane. I don't like that cut corner crap either. And I make sure I never do it. I also never do like wide load. I'm in the middle of a parking.

Like I understand the assignment. I understand that you are supposed to not be the only person on the road and there are other people around. The people that get into a parking lot and just take up the middle, it's like, dude, people, people can either get out or come in or do anything or come the other way. Freaking move the F over. exactly yeah oh this is some old man yelling a cloud stuff today that's right it's been a while since we since we've had the um well the thing we hate segment what did we it was original like early early days

of this show uh what was that called i had a register a complaint thing but that was newer um what did we call that yeah it was fun we did it it wasn't every day but it was something i'd have to go back and look someone in the chat will remember thing of the day that's it Talia. Thank you. Thank you, Natalia. It's thing of the day. Yeah, I miss that. I still call her a Natalia, by the way. Well, she has the memory of an elephant. She remembers everything. So she does. Don't cross tally or she'll never forget. I'd hate to get in a fight with her because she'd be bringing up things from previous arguments. She'll kick your arse. I believe it. I got a question about my phone. You know, we all got a phone. Everybody's got a phone, right? Yeah, yeah. I got a question about my phone it uh prior to yesterday i was getting no i mentioned some of this a little bit of this in pre-show but i was getting no uh content anywhere about about about um about Deadpool nothing yesterday we talk about it at length on the show suddenly all my socials are pooping out the the Deadpool content really and i mean in droves like sometimes yeah i'll be in instagram and the next

four things I flick through are all like either spoilers or some whatever now I know our phones have a lot of tracking I'm not naive I understand how it works and that's how ad ad targeting works and all the other stuff I understand that but I always I don't like to be a conspiracy theorist and I'm not one today but I swear sometimes what we say is is getting in there somehow you know what I mean sure sure so is your you think my phone right now is listening so I'm like boy I really like Lee Majors, and then this afternoon I'm going to see a bunch of freaking Bionic Man bullshit. Do you think that'll happen? Or Fall Guy? Probably not Bionic Man. But if you were to say, you know, boy, I sure could go for some Taco Bell,

then I think all of a sudden now you're going to get some Taco Bell content. I think the Lee Majors train has passed. Yeah, the interest is definitely low, for sure. As far as any social media, like, how can we capitalize on the majors? Now, I'm going to, I'm going to say something that's probably not the opinion of most people. But I say this because my life is boring as F. You know, hey, hey, listening

in on my TV, on my smart TV, hey, listening in on my iPad, you're welcome to it. Hope you can stay awake through the experience. But I would, here's where people are made disagree, and I'm totally, totally fine if you disagree, I'd rather

have content sent to me that is relative to something that I'm interested in than something that I'm not. I don't want to get any, you know, don't market your Toby Keith. I was going to say new Toby Keith album, but that ain't happening.

But I don't market your Kenny Chesney album to me. You know, recommend the new garbage album or the new church's album or something like that. Something you like. I get it. Something I like, relevant to my interest. Oh, that new ghost album. Um, is great, by the way.

Oh, I heard a guy, uh, good things. It looks good. Yeah. I saw a cartoon. Is there a cartoon associated with a new video or something? Like an animated thing? Yes. I didn't see the whole thing.

I just saw a flash of it somewhere and I went, oh, check that out. Yeah. It's very interesting. So, um, and it's a soundtrack or a concept album or something the way they did it. It's very, very clever. Um, so yeah, I'm, I'm going to be, I'm probably going to be the person, you know, the, the, uh, the, the, the, the against on this. But, um, yeah, if you're going to listen and you're going to feed me content, I'm okay with that. If the alternative is

giving me information and content and social media crap of things that I don't care about. Yeah, I think most people, here's what I would guess if there was a study. And I don't, this is pure guesswork. But I'm guessing if there was a study, most people want what you're saying. But they're never going to say it.

You're never going to admit it because it's like they're basically saying, okay, government and big tech companies, listen in to what I'm doing and saying. And to that I just say, well, this Brian guy that we keep listening to, just seems like he's sitting on the couch watching Shogun and playing No Man's Sky on his iPad in his lap.

Let's keep listening and see if he says anything else interesting. Yeah, nothing. Well, I guess we'll just recommend Kenny Chesney albums to him. I heard this bright of it guy likes Kenny Chesney and Taco Bell. Let's send him that. I think so. Dangerous combo. Yeah, I think it's interesting just because I'm kind of like you.

I don't care. I don't have a secret. life. I don't care. Like, I got nothing to hide. So if they're tracking me, I mean, I don't, I don't love the idea of it because I just think that's weird, but I don't have, what are you going to get from me? Oh, right. He played a gem matching game on the toilet. Oh, boy. Right. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. What are we going to do with that information? But I mean, I guess if you're doing stuff where you want to keep your life super private, like I don't know what that. I don't, I don't mean that you're doing something bad necessarily, but let's say you and your wife are really into candle wax on

the nipples, all right? Let's just say that. You're all night, all night long, every day. James Woods and Blondie. That's right. You come home from work and you're like, get them out. Mom, we shouldn't call you mom. Get them out. My wife. And then here's your candles, light them on fire and burn. Let's do some nipple burning. Like, I understand. Can't wait to see what you get targeted now in your social Right. Is my phone listening now? He likes candle wax on his mom's nipples, is what I heard. Yeah, that's what I heard. Those are the words I heard come out. Well, anyway, it's an interesting bit. We'll get some feedback on this. I can't wait.

Yeah. On the side note, or on that very note of Deadpool content, we got a text from Mike in New Jersey who says, and I saw it at the Regal Theater. I mentioned that. It's the only Regal in Utah I found out via KT Data. He said that it was the only one. Yeah, which is why I hadn't seen them before. and he says, Regal sucks. Just saw Deadpool 3 and a regal. 35 minutes of trailers. I couldn't see post credit.

Sorry, I couldn't see post credits. It was almost late picking up my kids from camp, says Mike from NJ. So he's scheduled. I mean, that sounds Mike. Definitely like a theater problem showing too many trailers,

but also a U problem scheduling, picking up your kid from camp so close to the end of Deadpool. Yeah, yeah. You don't want to have that too tight on that schedule, but for any movie, really. but, and that movie's like two hours, 10 minutes or something. Is it? Decent length.

Anyway, yeah, we had the same thing, but this is, I get this at every theater. So that's not unusual. And Elmo Draft House is not immune to that as well. We'll get, you know, we'll get trailers. I don't know about 35 minutes. It'll be curious to see, but I have my phone off and my watch off, so I'm not sure how I'm going to measure it. The three channels I can go to, or channels, places I can go to, AMC,

Cinemark and this local chain, the Megaplex ones that we used to do Nurtacular at. All of them have at least 20 minutes plus of commercials, sometimes longer. I think the one in the Regal one, we were maybe 20 minutes of commercials, not too bad. And they were intermingled. The commercials, those irritate the crap out of me. And I will say that Alamo Draft House is good about that. You'll get a thing saying, hey, join our season pass program and see as many movies as you want. and then, hey, here's our new food items,

or here's the new time capsule set of movies that you're going to be able to see this month, like, back to the future one and blah, blah, blah, and this and that, which is really cool. So those are fine, but they're very, they don't do any other, like, commercials for local businesses and things like that. Oh, that's good.

If it was all trailers, I'd be happy. That'd be great. Yeah. And I'm even, you know, with AMS or with Alamo Draft House, we go to the theater 30 minutes before the show starts because they show 30 minutes of relevant content to what you're about to see like old you know they'll do a little recap here's what's happened in deadpool up to this point or here's um Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman uh the playing you're doing hot ones or whatever and they'll show like content relevant to

what you're about to see it's always always interesting often funny um very often poignant and But it's great. It's good stuff. Now, that's cool. Cinemark was probably the most least egregious, although it's a mix. They'll do a trailer. And then, like, here are Jensen and Jensen,

we think that your lawyer needs are important. If you've been in an accident, he's like, dude, why is this in between a trailer for freaking Alien Romulus and some other thing? And now you're going to tell me about a lawyer? Like, I hate that. But I don't think you're getting around the idea that these are going to be how most theaters are.

This is the business now. No, exactly. I'm so irritated, like the Maria Minunos thing that Jedi 71 brings up in the chat, that newie thing where here's some trailers for TV shows that you're never going to want to watch. And here's a fun unscramble. What Tom Hanks movie can you unscramble with the letters, G-I-B? Let's give you 30 seconds on that one. And then she has some shit quip at the end that is so dumb.

Yes, yes. Her writers are bad. All right. I'm not blaming her. She's fine. Lovely woman perfectly capable of all the things she does. Give her better stuff to say. Too many weird vowels and stuff for interlasticity.

But I can get past that. Muminomos. She's got a lot in there. There's a lot of M's a little too much, yeah. Well, anyway, good luck, Mike, and in New Jersey. And may you never have another regal experience like that again. And really, you know, if you, Mike in New Jersey

you know do what I see a lot of people doing which is come in about 15 minutes into when the movie starts and then you'll get fewer trailers you won't have to sit through them all it won't do anything about being

almost late to pick up your kids from camp but it won't do anything on the back end time-wise but at least you won't have to sit through all those trailers and the lights are still somewhat on so you're not tripping over people or blocking their view of the movie or things like that that's true if i did have a complaint about regal it's they did bring the lights

up right as the credit started and i'm like it this is a marvel movie guys there's like at least two fully filmed nicely done things i need to sit it through and there were i was gonna say mid credits and post credits correct right this one has two and you're like okay well i want to see those without a big glare in the corner like what are you doing and then this you know kids with garbage cans just waiting for you. I'm like, dude, you guys know what a Marvel movie is. Get the F out of here. Oh my gosh. I cannot wait to talk to you about Deadpool 2 as well when you finally get to see that because the post or the mid-cur, the credit stuff for that is some of the funniest, the funniest Deadpool stuff I've seen.

Really? All right. I'm all in. I will watch for that. So much fourth wall. Well, speaking of fourth walls, there's a wall way out in South Carolina that if you bump into it too hard, you're going to break right through. And who would know that better than Brian Dunaway? I might have said North. I meant South Carolina. I don't know what I said. Hey, Brian,

welcome to the show. How the hell are you? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. Are you from South Utah? Where are you from North Utah? No, I wish. I want to retire in Southern Utah. I love it down there.

It's hilarious you said that because I just talked to Tonda the other day. I was like, yeah, me and Scott have been friends for like, I don't know, 15. years or something. I see him probably more than half my family, at least see him once or two times a week, on the line of stuff. And I'm like, but he still can't remember that I live in South Carolina. I'm just saying. Yeah, I know. It's pretty impressive.

Hey, did you know that it's almost 20 years that we've known each other? Almost 20. Oh, gosh. You're right because I think it was like 2001 when we first started talking because I was still in Phoenix. Yeah. That means that means we're more than 20 then. Yeah, that would have been, oh yeah, we were talking

around the comic time way before the show stuff. So, We have been talking since 2021, so that would have been 23 years. We have known each other for 23 FN years. Crazy. That is crazy town. That is insane. In fact, South Carolina. All right, we're going to have some fun today.

We're going to play a game and we're going to take our third caller. That's right. If you ding up ding ping me on Discord, I will take the third person. That is not your point of view, but your actual position in line. You're the third person to call. And when you call in, when you send me a DM, I will add you this call. And then you'll get to play with us and potentially win some prizes, those prizes being digital codes to video games. Who doesn't want those?

Everybody wants those. Everybody wants those. Oh, our third caller is someone we know. We'll add them to the call. It's a hymn. So that'll give you an idea there. Not really. Nope.

Nope. It has a narrow it down for me. About half the world. Yeah, a little less than half. All right, let's see if this works. It is Lucky Phil. He's clear across the world. Lucky Phil.

I don't see him answering yet, though. He's ringing or ringing. Lucky Philip is ringing. Yeah, Phil is now there. Oh, there he is. Hi, Lucky Phil. How are you doing? How are you, man?

Good, good. Just changing headphones. You can change all you want. It's all up to you. You live in a place where you get to make the rules. Speaking of rules, Hey, Brian, Ibit there. Why don't you explain to Phil and the rest of us how this is going to go?

Okay, we'll do. It's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpole on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. It is their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Lucky Phil, your lucky job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your lucky team wins, you will get a lucky prize package. That includes sticky business and figment to Creed Valley.

Oh, I have played both of these games. Sticky Business is like a little sim where you run a sticker business. Oh, nice. And it sounds like kind of silly, but it is one of the most chill, wholesome, fun little game loops ever. Excellent. And then the other one is this awesome 3D platformy thing with the weirdest art style. They're both great. Great games.

Do you play it with arms wide open? You always play it with arms wide open. Always like this. Like the T-Pos and video games. You always have to be doing this. Excellent. Perfect. Yeah.

Perfect. All right. Let's get to your game here. Now, I apologize. This is when I set up last week, and I have my top 10, and I remember what number 11 was, but I don't remember any of the rest of them because I accidentally deleted that spreadsheet. So I can't tell you where other things were in the list. But I do have all the important stuff, which is 1 through 10 and number 11 for that bonus guest. So don't worry.

We'll be fine. We'll be fine. Sweet. I even thought, oh, maybe I send it. it to Bobby, but I hadn't gotten so far as to send Bobby a copy of the list yet. All right, put your hands on your buzzers and tell me your best answer.

And answer. To this, we ask 516 tadpullers to name something you buy or something. Let me let me start this over. We asked 516 tadpoolers to name something besides gas

that you buy at a gas station. Beef jerky. Oh. Joykey. Show me beef. Jerky. Number four answer on the board. Three answers will beat it, Brian. I'm going to go with, yeah, I'm going to go with the number one answer.

Soda. Show me soda. Damn it. Number one answer on the board. Soda or pop, depending on what side of the Mississippi you're on. Number one answer, which means, Brian, you get control of the board and you also get as a participant. Hold on, I got a question for Phil.

Do you call it soda? or pop or do you guys have your own thing or what do you call it down there? We just call it soft drink. Oh, all right. You're okay. Well, a third description has entered the chat. Congratulations.

That's awesome. Four varieties that will kill them. Is it really soft? There was an ad for a flavored milk that we have over here and the tail line was a soft drinker, ain't. Oh. Well, that's, wow. I love the idea of advertising what it isn't.

I think that's good. Right. Yeah. I'm into it. Is it, wait, is it, is it carbonated, though, this weird milk you're talking? No, and it wasn't carbonated meat either. That's a shame. It was for, um, um, um, it was for, um, oak flavored milk.

Oh, all right. That sounds all right. O, no, oak flavored milk. Yeah. No, oak flavored milk. That was the brand name, the brand. Oh, okay. I thought it was milk that was flavored like oak.

Like trees. You even have oak trees? Jeez, it's all desert. Oh, it tastes like wood. And it would taste like wood. All right. Do you guys have it then? You guys, I got the torch.

You better like it. Brandon Phil, we've got eight answers left on the board. You guys have one point to Scots four, but let's see if you can get some points here. We wouldn't go for the easy points, Lucky Phil, or do you want to do some hard stuff? Because I got some more. What you got, Lucky Phil? You stop at the gas station? I was thinking maybe energy drinks.

Well, okay. That's not bad. Okay. Yeah. All right. I like that. Would that be classified on? of soda.

I don't know. Until year it was. Okay. So it's not. Interesting. Okay. Hmm. Interesting.

What do you guys call them? Are they gas stations or petrol stops? Or what do you do? No. We shortened the term service station to servo. Ah, servo. I like that. That's a character.

We're going to pop up to the server for some mate pies and some chocolate oak. Wow. I love the fact that you guys, like you shorten everything. Prezies. You're going to get some prezies. And then I'm a stop. servo and pick up some prezies. I was thinking of the chat,

Tom Servo, no, not too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Tom, servo. You think the energy drinks,

Phil? Oh, I'm thinking so, yeah, maybe. All right, let's roll with the servo. Let's stop and get something to keep us, to give us some pep in our step.

Sure. Show me energy drink. Oh. Energy drink, it ain't. Number two on the list. Nice. That's a good point. Yeah.

I think... Yeah, look at that. Dunaway seemed hesitant, but you've proved him wrong. Yeah. All right, you chuckleheads. What else you got? Just before you go on, I'd say in the chat in Mac Addick, saying, wording some Australian slang.

We also shortened bottle shop, as in liquor store, to Bottolo. Bottolo? Bottlo. Yeah, the bottolo. The bottolo. Okay. Where you go? U.S.

L-posterio, the botlo. So that's how you know somebody got a problem. They're spending too much time at the bottolo, you'd say. Yeah, I like that. They're stuck in the bottle of. I got a weird question for you. I think about it every time I drive by one of these places, but I never look it up. I don't know why, but they're all called ABC stores here where I'm at, and it's a package store.

And I'm like, what? Why is it called a package store? Yeah, yeah. ABCs you see in Vegas a lot, but alcohol, beverage, something I always assume. I'm probably wrong. Like I said, never put the. effort into learning. I don't know what they, I assume it's just ABC's like, you get everything here. All you see everything from A to C. Yeah. Alcoholage beverages. I have also only been, I've only seen

those in Vegas. I've never seen anywhere else. Well, one of our big liquor store changes BWS, B1 spirits. Oh, there you go. I'll tell you. The term ABC is an abbreviation of alcoholic beverage control commission. Oh, really? The store is in the state. Yeah. Oh, that makes sense, doesn't it? All right. I get it. I thought it was something more cute, but no, it's pretty. A, A, B, C, one, two, three, you'll see. You'll drink all day. All right, we're going. We're going to stop back to the servo, and we got our energy drinks and our soda pop.

Yeah, what are there, coffee? Who was some coffee? Yeah, let's drink some stuff while we're at the station. I like it. Look at all this caffeine you guys are doing. Coffee. All right. Show me. Let's do some coffee talk. Number six. Good points. Nine points for you guys. That's destroying me here. All right. Very good.

What else you got? You got some more? You're doing pretty good. You got some of my head. That's where you get your chips. Chips. Chips. That's what I said.

Crisps. Who says that? I say chips. Yeah. Who says crisps? Everyone else. Well, it differentiates between fried potatoes, deep fried potatoes and potatoes. And potato chips, right?

Yeah. Over here. I mean, McDonald's calls it fry still, but we just call it hot chips. Hot chips. I like that. I like that. Actually, you call them chippos. Chippos.

Chippies. Chippies. Chippies. I like that idea, too. Yeah, chippies is fun. All right. Show me chips. Ahoy.

Damn. Number nine on the board. Oh, those are good points. Some good points. 18 points for Phil and Brian. I think with points like this, we can just sit things back for a video. I think so, man. He's got a chump.

Throw some poop at the wall and see what. what sticks at this point all right maybe we used to always get here's one that I don't think anyone would say in modern times but man you used to always have to pick up a magazine when you were at the gas station just don't do that anymore

it's not something you do right I don't know some of them have these mavericks near us they have they have magazine racks still they ain't got no pornography though it's just like maps people and bullshit like that so you want to do magazines

I know what I get whenever I go, I've got to have a protein bar, which is really just the candy bar. Who am I fooling? You could say candy bar. What do you think is the candy bar more likely, though? Although I think, to be honest, more people would probably get a pack of smokes while they're at the server. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean smoking's down. Death sticks. All right. Show me. That was what you call them a pack of daries. Pack of d'arees? Really?

That's better than the... No, we got slang terms for everything. We really do. D-U-R-O-I or? D-U-R-I-E-S. Yeah, D-U-R-I-E-S. Love it. Duries, a pack of duries.

All right. You got a spare Dari on you, Matt? Better than that F word that Zoe uses when she says it. Is it, was, do you like a Durham cigarettes or something? Is that where the name comes from? Oh, I got no idea where that tune comes from now. Duries. Yeah.

All right. Show me cigarettes. This most? No. Number seven. Damn it. Lucky Phil, you're killing it. Icore has a new name for cigarettes.

Smokos. I like Smokos. Smokos. I love that. That ought to get tight. Now, Smokow is actually what we call our smoke breaks. Really? Oh, really?

Pop a nap for Smokow. Really? Nice. Maybe he knew that, actually. Actually, Brian, you're the music guy. There's actually a song called I'm on Smokow. Really? Oh, really?

By who? Yeah. Oh, it's by. by some redhead guy that's like he's like got a real Australian edge of Westie

Westie working class sort of Yeah The time has It's not though It's not oil Midnight No

The whole song's just a giant Pistake It's really quite funny All right Now here in the Now here in the US If you were If you were smoking cigarettes

You always had to grab some gum Why you were in there too Is that what you'd done at the station? Yeah Yeah, like go to the servo, get some gum. Do you have a gum, you have a nickname for gum? Because you're not fooling anybody, but yeah. What do you call?

By all means. What do you call gum over there? Like a chewy, a chow-o? What do you got? No, we just call it gum. Oh. Gum-o. It's already shortened enough.

I know. Boring, I know. Well, you're only one out of the 12 snacks you have weird names for us. So I think you're, I mean, we shorten a lot of things, but it's gum. Yeah. That's true. It's already short. How you're shorting gum?

Can't make it too much shorter than that. Yeah, pick me up a pack of gu. It doesn't work that way. All right. Show me gum did kind of get lumped into, oh, there we go. Candy, candy bar. I kind of lumped all those together. So gum, candy, candy, bar.

That's fine, I think. But you were about to go there anyway with the only candy bar anyway. Yeah, that's a fair one. Three answers left on the board. And I think, let's see, 28, 18 plus 5 is 23, 27. Scott's officially mathematically eliminated, so you've already won. You've already won Lucky Phil. But let's keep this thing rolling.

No strikes on the board. If we're talking about mostly American answers, because this wouldn't be a thing over here, would beer be? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely in there. Lots of beer. Well, it depends on the state and their laws, but yes, there's beer and gas stations for the most part. aren't we have them so i assume everyone else does if utah has them if utah has beer in their gas stations i'll bet everyone does all right everybody uh show me beer

are those alcoholic beverages what like white claw and that kind of stuff that's all i ever see anybody leave at a gas station yeah i feel like the gas stations probably have some sub there's probably some subcategory of regulation where they can only have a certain by volume alcohol right yeah three two or five oh nothing higher than that that or something. If I had to guess, just given the fact that it's a place people drive to get gas and drive away from, it just feels like a thing where they'd have to watch that. But I don't know. What do I know? All right. Well, you're about to clear the board. This is going to be insane if you do it. That's right. Two answers left. Oh, my gosh. Well, this be the first time we've had a run just straight from

the first to the end. Well, you didn't quite have that. I got the first one, but then I got third. Oh, that's true. Way to go. Would a blow it's got. If you get these last two, it might be the first time that You've done a run of nine with zero strikes, for sure. Yeah, yeah, that would be a record. You know what? I'd love to see you guys get it, personally. No whammies, no whammies. Stop.

Let's see what else we have up here then. Well, sometimes, I mean, especially for older cars, you might need to replenish your oil. Oil, that's a good one. Of course you need oil. It's the other gas before it becomes gas, right? And of course, unless you have your own, they're also going to weigh overcharged for a shitty little funnel.

right right yeah i think the oil is pretty good answer um either that or t p i always seems like somebody's walking out of there with toilet paper like single roll shit tickets oh my gosh please tell me that's what you call them there is shit tickets please that's what we call them it's not as common but it is it is a term over here shit tickets i'm just gonna start doing that that's amazing bug rule is more of an england thing right we call a bog roll too yeah you do okay i'm getting next time i call it Yeah. The next time Kim says, Scott, go get some toilet paper. I'm going to say, you mean shit tickets? I'm going to do it. I can't wait.

She's going to go, yes, grosso. And also the lottery was the only things I could think of. Oh, lottery tickets. That's also a good one. I'm going to leave it in your type of lands. No, sir, you've got them all. And I even doubted you on the energy drinks. They ended up being number two. but you said oil so I'm going to list

unless you change it I'm going to blame that one on you The main reason I went for any drinks I mean I don't know how it is over there but over here it quite often there's a special on whatever brand it is per month and it cycles so one month it'll be

rock stars that are like two for a discounted price or three for a discounted price the next month it goes to Rockstar I'm shocked at how universal our gas stations are that is so weird what ones am I getting oh what's on special. It brings us together more than it separates us, Brian.

That's not true. All right. So what are you going with? What are you doing? Like you feel I think we should go with oil. What do you think? Oh, I think, uh, maybe. There's too much pressure. There's too much pressure now. No strikes. Give us the oil, ibbit, dad gum it anyway. Well, at the moment there's no pressure at all, but I still don't want to screw up. That's right. That's right. All right. Show us oil. Oh, shit. So much for a perfect game.

That's a whole roll of shit tickets right there. That's right. Oil was said, but not did not make the top ten. All right. I want you to tell us where it was. I'm going to. He will eventually. He can't remember 19.

Yeah, let's say number 19. We'll say 19. 19. 19. I love that song. No, no, no, 19. That boy needs therapy. That's a different song, though, isn't it?

Is the same song? It is a different song. Oh, yeah. I love the bar needs therapy. I love that one. I'm going to go with, you guys didn't say it, but I'm going to think the, I'm pretty sure that lotto ticket things on here. Let's do lotto tickets. Show me lottery tickets.

Yeah. Yeah, you bet number five answer on the board. Nice. All right. I'm going to go with one that is my standard must have every time, and that is sunflower seeds. Oh, nice. Sure, sure. Not corn nuts?

Okay. I like corn nuts, but I'm, I'll go to the, I'll do sunflower. You know what, I'll get both, but I think, I feel like sunflower seeds is going to be more popular if I had to guess. Sure. All right. Show me the big sunflower seeds. Oh, shit. Not even the pickle flavor.

Dang it. Oh, man. It's the crack pepper you want to get, though. Oh, the crack pepper. Yeah, it's the only kind that's good. All right. One answer left on the board. Both of you with two strikes left, Phil, Brian, what do you got?

How about some dip? Yeah. He's talking about, you're talking about tobacco. Did I talk about French onion or? No. No, not the gas station. No, you got to get your little, get your little tin of the dip.

So you can stick it in your lip. Tatino's cheese dip, not like that. Right. Be better for you. All right. How about chicken wings? Okay. Is that what you're going on with?

No, I'm going to look, Lucky feel. I'm going to let me let Lucky feel. Chicken wings from a survey? Sure. Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, maybe over the airroad, don't really say much. I mean, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't recommend the wings. I also don't recommend the hot dogs.

Has anyone mentioned gum? Yeah, we did go. Yeah, we mentioned gum earlier. We got that. How about roller meat? You've got roller meat up there? Roller meat. Roller meat.

You know, we're like a hot dog. Does it become carbonated or serval? Yeah, if you order Rolos down there, though, it's different than Rolos here. That's a candy here. I've never heard of that in my life, but really? You guys don't, you guys don't have like hot dogs or sausage in a bun or any of that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, hot dogs. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. They're always some rollers and they're spinning around. What we do have hot dogs? What's more common in Australian servers and meat pies and sausage rolls? Yeah, yeah. Meat. Let's just say meat. I think we're just settling on meat.

Yeah, I think Brian will let you do it if it's meat. Why not? All right. Show me your meat. Oh, they have to be a good dog. Clear on the board. I used to love a good. Now, when I say good, let me explain.

I loved a good. roller hot dog from a gas station but there was only one gas station that I ever felt like had a good one everyone else is a shriveled up freaking little piece of shit you do not want to put in your mouth but some of them and they take care of it and they rotate them and they get in

there make them good still nothing wrong with that man nothing them rollers that they're meat dogs and they've only been sitting out there for the past 12 and a half hours years in some cases but anyway all right well tell us he obviously one but what do you think about the rest of this list

What else did people submit? Yeah, I don't know. Number 11 was slurpees or slushies or icies. As far as beyond that, yeah, I don't know because that list is gone. Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's okay. COVID happens. Yeah, COVID happens.

Yeah, people said, I think Magazines was on there. Maps. Maps probably was, oil was on the list somewhere. Right, that makes sense. Oil, so like oil for your car is what we mean, right, to top it off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, not Wesson. Okay.

Do you know if they had those big blue absorbent paper towels? I always like it. Oh, shop towels. Nobody mentioned those, but those are great. I use those here in my shop. Those are, I can wipe down my resin printer with those and not scratch up the, uh, the vat. Because they're so gentle. I mean, they are very gentle.

Yeah, always use it. And if you're going to use one, Brian, on your printer, always front to back, front to back every time. Print to back. Wipe the printer from front to back. That's right. Lucky Phil. you're so lucky you got one of these from Fletcher congratulations that means these codes

are yours they are region free which means they'll play anywhere and I'm telling you these are both winners they're excellent games it's a pleasure guys thank you yeah it's always fun thank you so much we'll see you later man yeah big thanks all the way all the way also all the way all the way high five number one

to night time visions for sending these codes it's fantastic Brian Dunaway please tell the folks on what Friday sorry what we're doing on Friday at 1.30 Mountain Time for Play Retro. What's the game we're covering? Well, what Friday? We're going to head to the hospital for Scott Stroke.

We're going to play theme hospital. Uh-huh. It's going to be great. I've never actually played it, and I'm getting a late start this week, so I'm playing a lot of theme hospital tonight and tomorrow. I haven't decided if I'm going to play it on the PlayStation or if I'm going to do the DOS version. I didn't have time

to load up my Windows 95 machine, but maybe next time. Yeah, maybe next time. I am looking forward to it though. It's an important entry in the theme theme park, theme hospital theme, there's other ones. Bullfrog did a great job.

Yeah, that same series, okay. Yeah, Simant, like all these amazing games of that time, this is one of the best. And there's a bunch of games now that are kind of based on it, like Two Point Hospital and this other new one I forgot the name of. Anyway, we'll talk all about that on Friday, yes. Sorry, go ahead. Yeah, I found it. I found

an HD version, the community has built an ACED version called Coreth, I believe. Corth Hospital. And it looks pretty cool. It's got a bunch of quality of life improvements. And maybe some multiplayer, I haven't gotten that far yet. I believe in your ability to do it, though, and have full coverage ready by Friday. Yeah, it's going to be great. Brian Dunaway, kiss our butts, and we'll see you on that day. Bye. All right, he's out of here. I wanted to share something real quick because I'm just feeling like I need to. And we put this, it's nothing serious, but I'm going to put this in

Discord so you can see it. If anyone, so this is Van at a park yesterday, an amusement park. He's on a ride. He's with some girl, right? Just some girl. Yeah. Oh, this is great. And he's five and whatever.

If anyone ever really, really wanted to know, like down to the thread, what I looked like at five years old, that's the kid right there. That's stupid hat, the goofy glasses, paint my nails dark because I thought that was cool, wearing a goofy shirt that doesn't match my pants. she had me she had me that is hilarious and now he's got this new little friend and she was so cute with him because he couldn't get his belt thing right so she's helping him and he matches the ride like like there is there is some serious girl animals going on here with the whole uh the glasses and the shirt uh match he and the ride match the colors of the ride like uh recreated on his hat like and he is intense like he is he is waiting for he's all in dude he's waiting for something scary or he doesn't know what i mean he had a great time but uh yeah he's he's

just a dork and he he does he does not give a shit this like this look yeah he loves it he's like i don't care who doesn't like it i'm wearing it yeah yeah no good for him so if you ever wanted the time machine me when i was five that's it right there uh i were like i had a whole set of those stupid gilligan hats back then my mom did you really the bucket hats that's great i wore them all the time i agree real bucket head i was All right. They also fit better because my head was so huge. Anyway, we're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, we'll be joined by Nicole Spagnolo and our friend, Randy Jordan, to do a little bit of recommendals.

But we can't do any of that stuff until Brian has his way with us. Brian tells us everything. This band, I feel like Tommy recommended these because this is a band called Them Guns. These guys are definitely some heavier rock stuff, which I think you're going to like. This is about getting on a plane right before a worldwide nuclear nuclear. disaster. The only survivors are the

people who were aboard airplanes at the time of the incident. When they make it to their destination,

they arrive to a completely different existence explains Navarone. Oh, I like the lead singer of Them Guns

is a guy named Navarone. Garbaldi, Garcia, the band's lead singer and guitarist. This is so,

so good. These guys, this is a single. I don't know if they've got an album coming out, but enjoy this.

Here's a band called Them Guns and Acid Plain. The plane took up is where the plane took up was where the way, the plane took up was where the froze from 9th Street I was staring out the window Nothing to do but watch

the wind blow Nothing to do but watch the world glow Yeah We're going down My bum's went off Yeah, I saw the whole world Stop And everything that I once knew

Went out there to wear the wind blew Yeah We're going down Yeah, we're going down. We're going down. We're going down. Look like fire down below. From the mountains covered with snow.

Look like fire down below. I just want to watch the world glue I just want to watch the world glue I just want to watch the world glue I just want to watch the world glue I just want to watch the world glue I just want to watch the world glow I just want to watch the world glow

Yeah We're going down Yeah We're going down We're going down Yeah, we're going down. Yeah. We're going down.

We're going down. We're going down. Go, go, go, go, go, go, show, It's a birthday We're gonna party Like it's a birthday We're gonna say Bacardi Like it's a birthday

And you know we don't give a fucking It's my job It's my job It's my giant underpants Oh Oh The Oh

Ha ha ha Ha Ha Ha Oh the chaos Hey That was a cool song and I'll bet Brian will tell us what it was again so we can all go grab it.

I'll tell you again. I'll tell you, because now you've heard it and you can say, wait a minute, Brian, what was that you just played? That's a man called Them Guns and a brand new song from them called Acid Plain. Go check him out wherever you get your fine, fine music. That is great. I love it. Now, let's see if Randy and Nicole are around.

Well, we got Tom first. Oh, shit, what am I thinking? We got to add Tom to the call. We want Tom. Yeah, what's wrong with me? Hold on here. Ace Detack. There he is.

Got all turned around there. I didn't know if you had something else in mind today. No, no. I'm glad you said that because I was just getting ahead of myself. Oh, hello. We want Tom. I hear him talking to his A word. Hey, look, everybody, it's Tom Merritt.

He is joining us like he does every Wednesday to talk about some tech. And you do just like that. Everyone's studio. Well, I have the same exact call word when I come in here. I turn on my lights and everything. Yeah. So, but I didn't hear it because I have headphones on, so everything's fine. Oh, good, good.

None the wiser over there, that stupid little box. Anyway, hey, it's Tom. Tom, welcome back to the show. What's going on in the world of technology today? Do you want a friend? Always. Yeah. Always.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Brian? Yeah, please. Who doesn't want a friend? Nobody. I want one that comes in a box. Well, good. You can get one in a box for $99 that you wear around your neck.

Whoa. Oh, good. Uh-oh. I don't know what. This is like those weird rabbit people or whatever or something like that. You know what I'm talking? Yeah, the one with the little thing that was like a phoneless AI assistant. Oh, oh, oh, sorry, you, yes, you meant I do know what you're talking about.

When you said weird rabbit people, my mind went somewhere entirely. I was probably visualizing rabbits around people's back. Like, oh, are these your friends, Scott? Do you see them? I see them too. Are they in the room right now? Yeah. Yeah.

No, the, yes, it is like rabbit or humane. there's a few others of these screenless AI devices. Friend, I think is interesting because it's not trying to do anything, really. It's $99, so it's like not crazy expensive. It's a pendant. It connects to your phone by Bluetooth. It will listen to you all the time and use a little bit of algorithmic magic to try to understand what's going on with you. You can tap it and start talking to it.

it will respond in an app. So you have to have your phone out to see what it has to say in response. And it may proactively talk to you sometimes. So if it knows that you're, you know, about to go on stage for a big presentation, which it might know, because it's listening to you, it might send you an in-app thing of like, hey, good luck. You're going to do great on the presentation. So that's it. It's not trying to be a therapist. It's not trying to do anything, but keep you company.

that's that's really just a friend just a friend yeah uh it it is an a i friend you can talk to uh you know the the pitch the startup pitch because they're getting like two and a half million of funding or something uh is is that you know they're this many people are lonely um etc etc etc uh you know so that's how they're they're trying to say they'll they'll sell this um but yeah two and a half million funding, $50 million, but yeah, they're like, we know people are lonely. We want to give them a friend. So, you know, this is, this is it. Why not have your friend dangling around your neck? Here's what I, here's, here's what I'd ask you, though. Like, I'm interested, this sort of thing interests me if I can talk to it and do things like, what time's my

appointment this afternoon? And it will say, beep, beep, beep, we think it's it for. It's not going to do that, is it? No. Nope. Just, just a friend. You're just friends. I have an Enough friends. I'm good. I don't need it. Ah, but earlier you said you always wanted a friend. Yeah, that's true. Not for $99. No, it's a little pricey for that. But also, yeah.

You can ask that and it says, you should use your phone and Google that friend. Yeah. Yeah. Here's what I found on the web. It'll say every time. Right. Yeah. I'm actually interested how it reacts if you try to get it to like, when's my meeting or anything. But this company from Avi Schiffman that's making a friend, originally wanted to create a thing called tab that would help you transcribe meetings and things

like that. So it was a little more of what you're talking about, a little more of a productivity aid. That was going to be 600 bucks. But they pivoted. They're like, you know what, I don't think that works. Maybe they saw what happened with Humane or even with Rabbit. But yeah, they say that while it is always listening, it is not storing things. So it is really just training itself. So it's not keeping recordings of you. You have full control over any of its texts that it sends. You can delete them at any time. It's just a friend, constant companionship.

If you want on a date with somebody you met on Tinder or something, and you saw them across the table wearing one of these, I feel like it might be a slight red flag. I might see that and go, oh, they're talking to their little necklace friend all day. So what you're saying is don't take your friend on your date. yeah take leave your friend at home that's what i think that's always good advice yeah yeah third wheel yeah third wheel i love that um yeah i think i i will say this though so this i don't think is for me but i i'm interested in the future of rings watches jewelry uh otherwise a pendant

whatever these sorts of ideas for having very smart little devices that also interact with your phone well and all of that that's interesting to me i want them to be more productivity based or more like more like the you know smart watches are attempting to do perhaps but the idea that I could get like a good ring and then just raise my hand and go uh remind me what time I'm having lunch with my mom and have it go boop you have that set for whatever like that kind of thing is interesting to me and have it be smart enough to say hey take a note and send them to my email and you know the kind of AI stuff I'm looking for I'm all for that thing is you can do that with earbuds right that's true yeah you know especially with Apple intelligence and and Gemini

you can just talk to your phone and say that that is the use case of Gemini and Apple intelligence, right? Is they're going to be able to do that? So you don't need another device to do that. I feel like we're in the Chumby era of these sort of AI devices where, you know, the Chumby, if anybody doesn't remember, was it was a little device that connected to the web and had a limited amount of information that it could deliver to you. it was sort of the forerunner of the Echo Show or the Google Home. And I think we're in that era of we know there's something here in a screenless

AI device that can listen and understand our language, but everybody's trying to figure out what that is. Yeah, I'm curious, though. We'll see. The Rabbit thing kind of fell flat, right? Nobody really. Yeah, Rabbit, Humane fell way flat. That was the pin.

Rabbit had a lot of people excited about it when at first. It was announced, but then the shipping product disappointed a lot of folks. There's also one called Limitless. There's one called B-A-I that are still being developed. Those are more along the lines of productivity and assistance. I think friend caught my eye because it really is just saying like, hey, you know what? These things aren't quite capable of all the promises that Rabbit and Humane wanted. So what if we just had them do what they're good at, which is chat?

Yeah, they are good at that. really, you know, set the bar low and we can achieve it. We can, you know, we can accomplish it instead of having to have some lofty, we'll do everything for you, a system. I just thought of, I just thought of something I would use this for hanging around my neck. If it was good at this, I don't know if it is. But if I said to it, hey, Sheila, or whatever the name is, could you please give me a Zork-like, uh, uh, adventure game experience? So you tell me, I'm at a, I'm at a crossroads and you're facing, which way would you like to get? Like, you let me do that on the, on just like,

I'm out walking, you know, walking the dog. Kind of like the game, Ducey did with us at TMS Vegas, right? Yeah, totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In a heartbeat, I would buy that for $99. But I don't know that they're promoting that. I don't think that's a thing it can do as far as I know. I think it could.

They are not promoting it. You're right. But it's just an LLM from what I can tell. So I don't know why I wouldn't be able to do that, right? Yeah, LLMs are good at that. That's one of their strengths. Yeah. Yeah. Although you can break it pretty easier.

It would be a little awkward because it's not talking to you yet. It's just sending texts. So you'd have to hold your phone. That's kind of my biggest drawback with this is that I can't hear it. I want it to be sending to my earbuds, you know, text of voice. There's no reason why it shouldn't be able to do that. They just haven't bothered making it do that. And then I could just talk to it the way you talk to an assistant. And suddenly, yeah, it becomes pretty, it becomes fun. This is. fun. And I think that's, it's hard to wrap your head around that. Yeah. Because I, because we want these things to be useful to justify spending. But then $99, yeah, it's a little pricey for what it does, but it also is not the $600, you know, the $1,000 that we've seen with some of these other devices. Yeah. I mean, if they came out and said, this thing for $100 will play Zork with you, the value just went up, went up for me. Like, I'd suddenly go home. I don't see why I won't. Yeah. It probably, it probably will. It's just not a sales point. for them right they're aiming for a different market well i don't really i i've read one tech crunch

article about this so far and then looked at their website um they are they do seem to pitch it more as like chatting with a friend now again not therapy but sort of like uh you know do you think i'm being crazy i'm my friend's been you know my miss scott says that that i i wasted my money on you or whatever right you could just talk to it yeah Bobby Frankenberger says chat GPT can do that for you now for free. That's true. But I'm not in a ring around my neck. I mean, that's my point is there's an interface aspect.

Yeah. All of these are doing things that chat GPT could do. Right, right. And who knows if the slightly delayed Apple intelligence will be able to do that over our earbuds, you know, our AirPods. So as we're walking, we can be like, okay, walk towards the pond. What do I see? Yeah, Gemini should be able to do that too.

So, yeah, it's just a matter of, in some ways, this may end up being, more of a fashion statement of like, you know, I like having my friend around my neck, right? There's a bond that you have to it. Kind of like a Tamagachi, right? You can play Tomogachi on an app. Sure.

But it's not the same as having a little Tamagotchi live inside the things. You know, there's something to the form factor. Yeah, this is for the rich kids in school who will drive you nuts with their freaking necklace that talks to them. That's what this is going to be. Well, anyway,

rats with their friends. Watch for that. We'll be talking about that more today. among other many subjects on the Daily Tech News show for a Wednesday. I can't wait for it. It's at 2 p.m. Mountain Time, everybody, if you haven't written that down in your schedule already, maybe tell your little necklace that it's at that time, and maybe it'll tell you to remind you. Who knows? That's great. Good luck listening. Yeah, but I'd look forward to that. And also anything else, Tom, might be cooking up.

Let's see.

Well, what do you recommend? Well, that music indicates one thing and one thing only. Time for us to recommend stuff from streaming services that we've all seen and think you might

like as well. Joining us right now, at least to start, we have Randy Jordan. Hi, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. Hi, how are you? Hi, I'm fine. Good. My coffee is so good this morning.

The weather is so beautiful. Yesterday, along the coast, like of Central California, the high temperature was like 60 degrees Fahrenheit, like 15C. Oh, my gosh. Unbelievable. I was like, I'm entertaining myself by browsing the weather in Pizmo Beach. It's just amazing. I love the name. I love the name Pizmo.

Have I ever talked about that? It's just such a great name. Like, where are you going? I'm going to Newport or I'm going to, you know, whatever fancy beach name you got. Then there are people that go to Pizmo. Pizmo. It's amazing. I'm a fan of Zuma Beach is gold.

I keep having family and friends who vacation all up and down the coast there. And like every day this summer has been posts out of Santa Cruz. And I just think, I think Santa Cruz is a great name. I don't know why. Well, I'm with you. Today it was as, let's see, where is my weather for today? Salt Lake City was mind-bogglingly nice this morning. It was like 58 to 60 in the morning.

77 today. We are going to have a high of 90, so that kind of sucks. But whatever. We're mid-90s all week for like the next seven days, mid-90s. You know what's worse? Points is really nice. It's a great summer. I'm doing well.

And Scott, how are you? I'm fine. I'm doing great. I got stuff. I got things. Everything's great. Everything's going great. Hey, we're going to get started.

even though Nicole isn't here yet, I pinged her. I don't know where she's at. So for now... We can always bring her in later on if we need to. Yeah, not a problem. Let's start with Brian and his pick for the week. Brian, what do you got going here? Sure.

This is a series that I had just been hearing so much about and finally said, all right, it's time to watch it. And it's got some accolades. And it's even gotten enough accolades to where people consider that the fact that the leads were not nominated for Emmys to be snubs. they consider that snubs. So then I had to watch it. Yeah. All right.

I like a good snub because it's like an underdog. You want to fight for him, you know? Exactly, yes. All right. Let's play it and see what you got. Welcome to Aspeniola Passive Living. We think it's important for Elizabeth to know that we're not just coming in here and, you know, tearing down her current home to make a profit. We're doing it for the environment.

I don't know if you're aware of how energy and efficient your previous accommodations were, do you know? No. I mean, you mentioned you've been cold in the winters, right? Yeah. Really cold. So it's because your house was extremely energy and efficient. So we're knocking the whole thing down and we're building one of these there.

And this is a fully passive home. It's going to control the temperatures really well. It's not going to have any waste. It's completely net zero. I didn't know the houses were bad for the earth. but these guys are going to fix the problem. We are so thankful to you for being part of this experience and allowing us to really make our vision clear.

And it really is people like you that are the change we wish to see in the world, in the words of Gandhi. I'm very curious about this in the words of Gandhi. In fact, let me say it the way Gandhi would. Please tell me more. Oh, very good. Absolutely. Yes. Those voices you heard there were Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone. They are the absolute cringiest couple you'll find on television right now on a show called The Curse. This is a very dark comedy with a little bit of psychological thriller and drama mixed in there. It's a satire a little bit on HGTV shows. What you heard was really... A clip from the show, Flip Anthropy.

I thought we were listening. You were going to recommend a reality. That's what I thought. That really sounded like it. Because it was supposed to. Yeah, it's supposed to. It is a parody. And that's really like the only clip of the show within a show that you ever really get on the curse.

The curse really focuses on this couple, Asher and Whitney, who moved to Española, New Mexico. and with the intent of starting a reality show on HGTV and building these homes that are giant mirrors. Basically, they are giant mirror boxes reflecting everything. And it's co-written by Benny Safdi, who also appears in the show. You know him from also co-writing Short, not Shortcuts, was the one with Adam Sam. the diamond oh uncut gems

uncut gems man Randy Randy and I know that stupid TikTok name I hate it so much I'm glad I don't anyway he co-wrote this with a fielder

and stone and he's also very cringy in this show it is you know this is one of those things that you watch with the expectation that you're not going to like the three main characters very much.

But you're going to like all the other people around them. And there's some great side characters around who are kind of affected and in sometimes negative ways by these three main characters who really have more of a drive. Emma Stone's character, Whitney, really just wants this reality show to work, even more than she wants her marriage to work, really. Oh, wow. Nathan Fielder's character is more of a pushover kind of. kind of thing and and and and benny saffty's got his own um his own uh uh determinations as well um

it does center around or starts uh around a curse that's cursed on the the couple um or specifically on asher i won't spoil anything about that but that's such a a weird catalyst and then be or even c level story in the whole thing you're really focusing on these two this couple and their drive to get these passive homes, which are apparently like living in a thermos. It sets it at a temperature. You don't even need air conditioning. You don't need heating because it always maintains the perfect temperature on the inside

because the outside is basically like you're going to tinfoil baked potato house. Weird. This is such a weird concept. Everything about this sounds crazy to me. It is absolutely crazy. It is entertaining. there are some definite laugh out loud moments and there's 10 episodes and it gets super twin peaksy in the 10th episode.

There's a little bit of that with all the people around, but my gosh, the 10th episode was such a shift in tone and feeling for the whole thing that it prompted Christopher Nolan to reach out to the director who did he call let's see uh he contacted benny saffty and said after the finale saying how did you guys do that in regard to the 10th episode really and this is a guy who did inception and bad man and all these other things saying how the hell do you guys did you guys do that and i i actually would love to know that too because that 10th episode is such an incredibly amazing stunt payoff that I don't know how they did it. All right.

You sold me there. Yeah. Imagine, imagine the, of all directors who call you and say it. Like, that must be the ultimate compliment. He will never,

he's never going to be able to match that. That's amazing. Never going to be able to match that. Absolutely. Wow. Yeah, it's, it's great.

Now, this is streaming on Paramount Plus. It was a Showtime thing. So if you have that combo, the Showtime Paramount Plus streaming combo. But it is on, Paramount Plus. So if you've got that, you can watch it. I don't know if you can watch it without paying the Paramount Plus. Is there a free level of Paramount Plus? Maybe there isn't.

They don't. They have it's all. Yeah, they have paid versions that are cheaper with commercials and then they have a full no ad deal. Gotcha. Okay. You'll also get a great appearance by Dean Kane playing, I think, Dean Kane, even though his character is Mark Rose. This feels like it might just be who Dean Cain is now. Is he a giant dick like he is in real life? Kind of is a little bit of a giant dick. Cool. You get Corbin-Bernson in this thing.

And you get the most, oh, man, I don't know. I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to say, because I want, yeah, I want Scott specifically to see this and say, oh, why did you tell me about that? I'm not going to tell you anything more about it. Okay. All right. Yeah.

Fair. Emma Stone is fan-freaking-tastic in this. She should have absolutely gotten an Emmy nomination for this. She did get a Golden Globe nomination for this role. She's too busy getting, you know, Oscars. Yeah, too busy with the Oscar things for, with the Xanthamos or whatever his name is. This is, again, one more time.

It's called The Curse. It is great, but it's dark. It's dark comedy, but you'll love it. I'm very curious. On Paramount Plus. Here's what stopped me, like, months ago. Months ago when I looked at this briefly, it's on on google it's got a user score of 57 percent on rotten tomatoes the audience score

is even lower it's like 43 percent but i never noticed the rotten tomatoes tomato's tomatometer score 94 percent yeah yeah and and i just never noticed that or i would have absolutely watched it already it seems like the the it's the kind of thing that if you are an audience member who can't do the cringe you're not going to know what to do with this it's one of those shows

I think if people are watching this expecting to see the Emma Stone that they know and love from rom-coms and things like that they're not going to get that

and it probably is a little bit of a scary turnoffy thing for them yeah but if you like if you like these great weird complicated roles that Emma Stone has been taking lately

with like you know especially poor things my gosh what a great what a great role for her that you like this all right all right feel like i want to see it yeah i got the paramount plus that's i think paramount plus just comes a showtime now that's just they're all together it does yeah yeah they're they're like buddies they hang out they sleep together as it were uh randy let's swing over to you then and talk about your clip anything you want to say before i play it it's a big movie it's come to streaming all right and uh Everybody should see it because it's good.

All right. And you're about to hear most of the cast getting yelled at because they, they, you know, crashed 17 cars or whatever. All right. Let's find out what's going on there. Three lamp posts, two parked Priuses, an entire fleet of rental bikes. That's a lot of damage. Yeah, but you can't have a sewer dragon flying around Soho like it's Middle Earth.

You have someone hanging out the side of a moving vehicle, firing a laser gun indiscriminately. Laser gun? What? That has a proton pack. It's a weapon. A weapon of science. It's completely safe. It's not completely safe. It's a portable proton accelerator. How old are you? I'm 18. I'm an adult. I'm not talking to you. Huh?

15? A minor. We don't let kids become cops. We don't let them fight fires. And we certainly don't let them become Ghostbusters. Mr. I'm sorry, Mr. Mary, may I approach the bench? Do you see a robe? I am not a judge. That's a penis guy, right? From the first. Yes, it's true. This man has no dick. Yes. Very, very well spotted. This is Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, the latest entry in the new Ghostbusters series. And my gosh, it's such a good movie. I'm recommendaling it because I watched it for the second time. I'd seen it when it was in theaters.

I think it's the, like, real rare for me to go see a movie in theater. So, like, I'm not, I was about to say the only, but I, that's not true. Anyway, loved it when I saw it when it was in theaters. As soon as it hit Netflix last week, I rewatched it. And it's just great. Like, if you haven't seen it, you absolutely should. But if you have, watch it again. Like, I just caught all kinds of things on my second watch of this movie that I just found very, very

entertaining. So you seem to be among the 83% or something. of audience members who enjoyed it as opposed to the 42% of critics who gave it, you know, pretty average reviews. I do not know what they're on. That is, it's, it's the opposite of what we were just talking about, right? So there's like, there's some things where the critics love it and the audiences don't. I usually like those. And then there's things where the audiences love it and the critics don't. And those are always scary for me. I, I can name a bunch of them where I'm like, I don't know about this. But then every now and then,

there's a movie like Suicide Squad where the audiences liked it way more in the critics and I'm like, that's because the critics don't know what they're doing. And this is a perfect example of that. Interesting. I'm, I mean,

I don't know why I've been so weird and hesitant to watch either of the two new. I'm seeing the other one either. You haven't seen the other one either. Yeah, you need to see both. You do. I feel like they figured out the secret sauce of how much fan service

is the right amount. And then how do you fill the rest of it with really good story and great characters and oh my gosh the new batch of of actors in this thing are great so um so you really do need to watch afterlife first yeah yeah yeah it there is you will you will really not have any of the ongoing story if you don't and i i what i found on my rewatch was that it was the ongoing story of the all the relationships between all these characters that were was really heartwarming to me so please watch ghost

Afterlife, Ghostbusters Afterlife might be a better movie to you than this one. When you talk to people, there's like, there's some that think afterlife is really great. And then this one is a little bit of a step down. And there's other people that are like, oh, afterlife, it's just all a big setup to get the OG Ghostbusters on into the packs. And that wasn't so great. And then this is a better movie because it's a more complete movie. Afterlife tells a very small story. And this movie tells a huge story.

It's a number of stories. Does Dan Aykroyd, is he full on Ray? Because I love Ray, you know? Yeah, yes. Yeah, yes, that's, yes. You know what I mean, though? Like, he's got to be full-throated Ray for me to be. Yes.

Okay. And Afterlife, by the way, is currently streaming on Apple TV. And it looks like it might even be Hulu as well. I see it on Fubo right now. Fubo's well, yeah. If that, I didn't that, wasn't that short for football? I don't understand anything anymore. Fooball.

Anyway. Anyway, the, the, the, the, point is what a writer named Gil Kennan, a British guy, um, was given the, the opportunity of a lifetime to restart the Ghostbusters and he wrote afterlife. And then, um, younger rightman directed it, right? Yeah. Then they let Gil Kennan direct this one. And this guy gets it, in my opinion. He really understands what you're supposed to be doing with these characters and this weird alternate universe where ghosts exist. and all this stuff

and he gets the comedy of it because it's not beat you over the head comedy especially afterlife afterlife is very subtle comedy and it's all writing on Paul Rudd as the every man who's observing the weirdness

and this movie this movie just really takes it places and the places is New York City where the Ghostbusters belong and I just want I want you to watch these please hurry up it's time yeah I need to

just watch these damn things. It's nice to hear I can watch both. So that's good. And you can watch both back to back, which is actually, I think, a better way to watch it than, you know, separated by several years. So good thing you waited, Scott. Sure. And that weird bird looking kids in it from your stranger things. What's his name? Wolf, Wolf, Buy Hard. He's got a great name. That's why we were talking on a film sack about, about actors' names. And I almost brought him him up. That's like, you get to, you just get to, uh, Kumail Nanjani is in this. movie also and I'm like you have the best name man yeah that guy was born a good one for sure they put a bunch of of straight up comedic actors in this movie to fill in all the comedic edges

so you got patten oswald you got james a caster who can do no wrong in my opinion uh you know and and so like like i say the people making these movies really understand what the connective tissue is across this entire universe right the original ghostbusters was was three comedic actors and, you know, Ernie Hudson. And I just can't. I'm sorry, I will never let go of the fact that the Ghostbusters starts out as three people. And it feels like halfway through the movie, they shoehorn in the black guys. Oh, they absolutely did.

But here's what's funny. The joke's on them. If you look at Bill Murray or Dan Aykroyd, they both look like they're about to fall over dead. You look at, you look at freaking Ernie Hudson, who is now in his 70. yeah I don't know what that dude's eating black don't crack he is amazing looking for his age he said this we talked about Beverly Hills Cup two weeks ago and how how good Eddie Murphy looks compared to everybody else yeah that's the that's the secret sauce right there and he's as far as I know he's older than like close talker uh Eddie Murphy is judge Ryanhold Judge Ryanhold

and Judge Reinhold looks a thousand years older than Eddie Murphy don't know what the hell's going on there anyway as you know My overarching philosophy for recommendals is watch something that makes you happy. You should be entertaining yourself when you seek out your entertainment. This is very, very entertaining. And it's fun, and it'll leave you feeling good, and it won't keep you up at night and give you bad dreams. Well, good. All of those things are welcome things, you know.

All right, let me get to mine. This is a movie that is old, and it is on Max. And it's one I've always meant to see and just never have. And so I was very excited to sit down and watch this. And it's funny what it ended up coinciding with without my knowledge. I'll get to that in a second. But here's a clip from my film. I believe is seeing another woman.

No. Really? I'm afraid so. I am sorry. Mr. Gittes. Please, do you think we could discuss this alone? I'm afraid not, Mrs. Mulray. These are my operatives. And at some point, they're going to have to assist me.

I can't do everything myself. Of course not. No. What makes you certain that your husband is involved with someone? That's a nice way of saying it, Jack. That is Jack Nicholson talking to Faye Dunaway in the film, Chinatown, which came out in 1974. And I'd always been told this was like one of the great gangster movies of all time, and it was worth seeing. And despite what we may think these days of Roman Polanski, it was one of his better films.

So I thought, all right, I'm going to finally do it. It's on Max. No excuse. Let's just watch it. And I really like this movie a lot. And it felt like a movie that was made yesterday. If you didn't know any better, it's filmed so well and so beautifully. And the transfer on Max is pretty good.

Audio is pretty good. That it doesn't feel like an early 70s film. It feels like something that someone just made with a very young, Jack Nicholson and a very young fade down away, but they're excellent in it. All of the Oscar nominations and wins this movie got were deserved. It's old school in some ways, like an old noir from the 40s in some ways. And then in other ways, it's got its own ideas and its own crazy ending and its own twists. And I won't say more than that for anyone who wants to see it never has. I think it's worth seeing for the first time without much spoiler. Jack Nicholson puts one of

his best performances forward. He's very good in it. Faye Dunaway was always good. Even in Mummy Darrist, which everyone makes fun of, she was really good in that role. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The movie's got issues, but she was great in it. Yeah, a little over the top, but it's what kind of needed to be in that role. Yeah. And we got Diane Ladd in this thing. John Houston's in it, uh, fame director and actor John Houston. Um, he plays a real douchebag. But anyway, it is, uh, oh, James Hong shows up looking just like regular, regular James Hong is usual. He just looks like he never, he's going to be here forever. He's amazing. Love him. Nice. And I really, really liked it. So here's the weird thing it coincided with. I didn't know Max was

releasing, HBO was releasing a documentary about Fay Dunaway called, I think it's just called Faye. Actually, I mean, look that up. I didn't know that either. Did you watch it? I did. Right after I saw Chinatown. I went, oh, well, let's just roll into this. And let's see if I can find it. It is called. It's called Faye. Yeah, look at it. yeah there it is fay uh i didn't know much about her other than i always teased brian done away about being related to her somehow or whatever but um i forget about that yeah yeah and she was like an actress of uh you know the sandra bullock of her time or something or more like you know what more like Sharon stone of her time or more like uh even shirley's throne style actress of the time and turns out i was right about those assumptions because i didn't know this

but her and Sharon Stone in particular have this like massive friendship that they've had forever and she used to just worship her when she was coming up she was like well I want to be like Fay Dunaway she's the actress I want to be like anyway that was really interesting

but they had a whole section of this thing that talked about Chinatown and that was interesting to get some behind the scene stuff apparently Jack Nicholson according to her is one of the most is one of the nicest most supportive actors you can work with in Hollywood. I don't know if that's still true

now that he's a lumpy old you know potato but But she says he was the most gentlemanly, kindly help everybody, what everybody needs, not rude to the help, all that stuff. She speaks of him very highly, which is ironic because a lot of people think that she was very difficult to work with. And there's a bunch of stories about that. And there's also her admitting to it.

And you can't get a better understanding. She got diagnosed with bipolar way late in life. And her son, who's also an actor, is in this a bunch. And he talks. It's a very, not, it's not the word flattering. This isn't all flattering, but it's, it's a very loving look at a career that, that is, has some controversy, but this is mostly about talent rising to the occasion, her work on network. That movie's still amazing. Network's amazing.

Oh, so good. Matt's hell, I'm not going to take it anymore. And then at the point where women start to, there's a whole subtext of this thing about women had a certain age and that the roles just drop like flies. and how she tried to navigate that. And it's, I thought it was really interesting. So I realized this is kind of a double recommendal. I didn't mean it to be. But one led to the other.

And I think that's actually a really fun way to see Chinatown. Watch Chinatown. You're in the same app. Just move right over to this Fay thing. And you'll get a, you'll get a very interesting look at her. And she's incredible in Chinatown. There's a scene in there where I watched it,

where Jack Nicholson smacks her really hard. And I went, that looked real. And how'd you how'd you feel about Roman Polanski himself slicing into Jack Nicholson's nose? Yeah, he's the knife-wielding psychopath who cuts his nose. I felt like he didn't, I mean, he's obviously really young, so it's like he doesn't look like he does now. But it, but it was like, oh, okay, that's the cameo you gave yourself. Good Lord. It's no Hitchcock walking the die.

No, no, not quite the same. But anyway, later on, so I see this Faye thing, and they talk. about the slap. And I went, oh, cool. I get to find out if that was real or not. Sure enough, they did fake takes. And she says, this isn't working. You need to hit me. And he's like, I don't. And Jack goes, I don't want to hit you. That's, I don't want to hurt you. And he says, I need this for this moment. This character needs it. We need this. So please hit me. And he says, well, I'm going to try, but I don't want to, you know, he's like very nervous about it. Yeah. So then he does. He has to do it twice in the scene. Just wax her. Full throated, freaking full

hand slap. And she was talking about how that was important for her. She needed to feel that shock and pain in the moment to do what she needed with that character. And it really enhanced my viewing of the of the movie. So anyway, it's interesting and worth watching. Both of those are available over there. And Chinatown, if you're trying to mark off your bucket list of like gangster films that, you know, where everyone says it must be seen, this one is really good. It is a must see. So I put in... two jakes too has anyone seen the two jakes is that any good okay yes basically you can just watch jack nicholson's filmography like the guy didn't really pick any bad movies as as far as i can see yeah i

agree with that i think i was trying the other day to think of one i didn't like um there really isn't one there are probably some i didn't like but they're all good movies well yeah and his per his his performances like I don't think anger management is very good for example but really I enjoyed that a lot I mean it's fine it's just not it's just Adam Sandler movie to me but he's very good in it about Schmidt is amazing yes really good and if you can deal with uh if you can deal with what's her name showing her boobies what was her name uh yeah misery lady uh I can't think of her name she's amazing actress can't think her name Bates Kathy Bates Kathy Bates really gets it out there.

That's fine. It's fine. Whatever. Do what you got to do. But the point is, yeah, this is a great entry in that. And, man, it makes me wish he was working more. I mean, I know he's really old and doesn't want him now. But like The Departed, I know on the last time you guys saw The Departed, but he's so good in The Departed.

It's been, I think since it initially was available on DVD that we saw The Departed. So, like 06, 06, 07. something like that. It's such a good movie. So I just want to explain myself. I put a link in chat to a video. The video is of 15 minutes of stand-up by Michael McDonald, the comedian, the guy who was on Mad TV for 15 years. And in this video, Michael McDonald just stands and recalls when he was very young and he briefly became Fay Dunaway's acting coach. And it is so freaking funny. It is everything.

You have to watch this to fully bring it full circle for yourself. All right. I'm interested. Somebody said wolf is really bad. If you want to see a bad Jack Nicholson movie. Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer and James Spader when this come out, 94. I remember the movie. I never saw it.

I saw it in the theater. I don't remember hating it. Was he a wolf man? Is that the deal? I think so, yeah. It is a werewolf movie. Was he Wolfman Jack? Anyway, well, that's interesting.

I have to check it out. Again, James Spader is another one where I'm just like, I'll go watch a James Spader thing. I might not love it, but I'll watch it. You know who that is for me now? Oh, go ahead. Oh, I do like somebody suggested that we film Sack Wolf. That's not a bad idea right there.

It's a great idea. Oh, I do that. That's perfect for us, yeah. I feel this way about Shea Wiggum. You could make a bad movie. You put him in there. I'm so into whatever the hell you're selling. I don't even care.

Guess what Wolf is streaming on Showtime. Oh, well, there's a place to see it then. Which we're just going to lose the name Showtime at some point. Yeah, yeah. We're going to just say it's streaming on Apple TV or whatever. It doesn't have the same. Paramount Plus is what we'll say. Yeah, that's true.

Paramount Plus, yeah, because they own them now. But it's less impactful. Like nobody cared that much when that acquisition happened than they did when HBO, Matt, and Discovery merged or when they tried to put all that together, everybody lost their minds and they changed it to Max and all the other stuff. But nobody seems to care that much about, you know, not that they don't have good stuff on Showtime. They do.

They have a lot of amazing things on Showtime. Well, yeah, yeah. But nobody cares about the name. So changes. I've just started our October 24 list for FilmSec. Nice. Oh, nice. Good, yeah.

Well, this concludes today's recommendals. We'll get Nicole back next week, I'm sure. Randy, a film sack this weekend. What are we doing? Yes, I'm so excited. And I love how people are popping into our various channels and saying that they're excited that we're watching the 2007 Michael Bay Transformers. Yeah.

I am like, because like I definitely liked it when I saw it, but I didn't like rewatch it or anything like that. Yeah. So I'm going to have a nice, nice fresh viewing here soon. Well, I'm excited about it as well you should be, everyone out there listening. So go listen and give it a shot. Randy Jordan, a.k.a. Randy Deluxe. We'll see you next time. Bye, bye, bye. All right. Well, we did it. You just bought it. Transforma. So this is, this is going to be our first LaBoof in a while,

or at all, right? We ever had Labuf on before on FilmSack? I don't know if we have had LeBoof. Did we do I-Robot? Don't remember. Oh, we, uh. I know, right? It's so hard. Yeah. I remember talking about I robot with you, but I can't remember if it was from a a mental or if it was from a from a film sack i'm doing a search and i don't see it i robot yeah i see yeah we didn't do it so this might be we didn't do holes we haven't done anything else with him in it so i think this is it yes one sleepy panda we did do indifor yeah yeah that's of course we did we did crystal skull we did crystal skull yeah oh we did so he have had him this is our second then oh yeah back in 2019 i recommend old peanut butter falcon but it was a

part of a it wasn't part of a film sack for sure no that's another one i actually just queued up to watch because oh god that's so good it's showing somewhere and i finally decided to yeah yeah i remember you raving about it um what was it gonna say chat someone asked is he in right i robot yes he's like the little weird street friend uh street friend it's a small role it's kind of before things took off for him but uh like in between holes and then his mature a movie career, I guess. In between holes. The taint of his movie career is what he is.

Oh, there's something in there we could work with, but. Yeah, I think I've already worked it. That's maybe as far as it goes. All right, darn it. I was hoping for more. Holt goes. TMS Jamie wrote in and says this, hey, this is Jamie for TMS. He says, I thought I shared a story with you guys.

This has totally happened to Scott. I was walking out of a Timmy's with my coffee. I think he means a Tim Hortons. Tim Hortons, yeah. He's up in Canada. Australia is not the only place that shortens things. That's right. Call them Timmy's. What do we have that we do that with? I don't know. What's story? Mickey D's we call Mickey D's. I like that. Yeah, I've been doing that since high school. I think that counts.

Anyway, he says at 6 a.m. He's leaving the Tim Hortons there. And a staircase is ahead of me. I see someone bent over on the stairs and it looks like their ass is hanging out. Does I get closer? I see a red reflection. I can't quite make it out. I try. and determine what it is. When I'm close enough, I realize that her ass is all the way out. And the reflection, quote unquote, is her ruby red eye of Sauron getting a morning sun tan. Would love someone, I would love some unseed juice for that one. Love the show though. I don't know what to tell you about that. That's a, that's nothing. Nobody asks for that. Is he, is he talking about like this kind of eye of saron? Like that sort of, that's the reflection he's seeing right there?

That's my guess. The thing Brian's got in his hand, everyone at home listing, you can't see it. That's a, let's call that a BP. Let's call that, yeah, let's call it one of those. Let's call it a British petroleum. That's what we'll call it. You might use some petroleum there. You might store one of those at an infinity gauntlet at some point, is the point of that one.

Exactly. So, Jamie, I don't know if you want to clarify any of that, but that is nasty and no thanks, I would say. All right, we're going to do a drawing prompt of the day. Oh, I was going to show everybody this. Um, I never got a chance to do it myself. I felt bad. Oh, you never did one. That's true. Yeah. I remember. I got so busy yesterday. I never had a chance. So let's see here. Um, let me find the group. We made a whole thing for it. It was great. Yeah. Did we talk about it on the show proper only in post show? No, no. No, no. Okay. So we're going to start letting people, any digital artists out there or even traditional artists. We don't care. No AI stuff. We don't want that. All right. We had a ton of AI stuff that people put in there. None of that. No more of that. I hate the AI stuff. F that stuff. But if you'd like to draw and you want to show off your art, please do. So I got some good stuff here. Gorilla Horse was the prompt.

And this one in particular from, we pull it up here and put it on stream. Oops. Here we go. This was done by, who's the name? This was Don Kelly 68. I absolutely love his gorilla horse. I think that is a rad. Dude's got chops.

He's got talent. There's a few others in here. Let me see. I mean, Claire's is freaking impressive. Clares is one of my favorite, for sure. Yeah. This one from Tanner.

Don Kelly's is great. I didn't see this one yet. Isn't that awesome? Yeah. The one from Tanner, I absolutely love it because it's derpy as hell. Yeah. There's a whole bunch of these.

Let's see. The one you pointed out with the leg. The AI with the background. Yeah, that's gnarly. There's a lot of AIs in here. Claire's, which I'll now show up, here we go. It's this one. Super cute. Love it. Really cute. Really good.

Yeah. So, Brian, do you have a prompt for us today? And prompt? We don't mean AI prompt, everybody, okay? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We clear that up. All right. Anyway, we said yesterday you might do us a prompt. You got anything you want to throw out? Did we? Did we? I didn't have anything thought about it. All right. Okay. Let's say, the worst.

thing you could find in your refrigerator. You can find in your fridge. I like that a lot. That's great. Draw something that you don't want to find in your refrigerator. Yep. And this is in our Discord. There's a group in there called TMS Art Fun.

And you just post in stuff that you drew. It can be doodles, sketches, take a picture of it on a napkin. It doesn't matter how you send it to us. No judgment. It's a judgment free zone. You make whatever you think is cool. And today's is a great. great one. The worst thing you can find in your refrigerator. I'm going to do this one today for

sure. This is happening. Excellent. Anyway, uh, you have some fun with this. We'll see how long this last, but it's a good time. All right. We're out of here. Uh, frogpants.com slash TMS for all the details that you might need for anything you're doing. And, uh, we're going to leave now on a musical note with Brian's selection of a song. Oh my God. You are going to love this, Scott. Um, Mr. Badpour wrote in and said, uh, Dear Scotch and Bonnet, this one is as much for Scott as it is for me. I love these guys and hope you will too. I don't really have a specific request date, but really Scout is always talking about the WeShop music. And this reminded me of him, so I figured I'd just share it. Oh, by the way, is it too early for a tender crisp

bacon, cheddar ranch? No, it's the show though. Perfect time for that. No, that's you. Well, we can do that first. Hey, uh, is it too early to get a fish sandwich? The tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch. That was the guy's reply at the drive up. He's like, no, we just have that. No, just that one. Sorry, it's hooty. And here's your tenta crisp baking Gen. Where's Keith and Maid? You know he's got talent sign, Mr. Badpour. Oh, my gosh, Keith and Maine.

All right. This is the Wee Shop Channel music by a couple of guys named the Super Guitar Brothers. This is such a great acoustic version of the song. It makes me wish I was in a cafe, sipping on a hot coffee listening to these guys play this song. It's so good. They put it out on their YouTube. You can find it right there.
