This is the morning stream Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's a Thursday edition of the show on the date of 822-24. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Abbottai. Hello. Can you believe we're this far into August? Can you believe it? No, I cannot believe it. I don't like it because I look at my things I still need to do yet for August. Oh, like my film sack alien host special thing. Oh, yeah. I'm so excited for that. I'm jazz for that because I'm in the, I'm in the, I'm in the, I'm in the mood to watch it all again, but I kind of want to hear your thing before I watch it all again. Yeah. Well, I saw your post.

I guess it wasn't really a diary, but it was just a little thing about Waylon Utani and why don't they just use and replicants for everything. You had a good point in a reply in there. Do you want to, why don't you share that? So let me give the problem and then I want to hear your solution or your answer to it. So it just occurred to me the other day. I really, really liked Romulus, and I really liked the whole series. And we've been talking about it on stop.

But one of the things that pop into my head was, They always make a point, this new movie especially, that the Wayland-Utani Corporation is made up of A-Holes, and they don't care. I mean, it is an allegory to, you know, capitalism run amok, and it's always been that. But they, you know, they're trying to colonize and terraform planets all over the system, multiple systems. And when they do that, they have mining camps, they have all these things of terrible working conditions. People are dying like flies. new pathogens they didn't even know existed or just killing people left and right

and I went well wait a minute if they're just going to keep looking for ways to harness the xenomorph stuff into both military and other uses because they seem hell bent on doing that yeah then why and it's to

and it's to help them better handle like terraforming the planets and having people live yeah they're super sold it's a combination of two things they want the xenomorphs because they are a powerful weapon They are the perfect, what's the perfect creature? No, perfect organism. Organism, yeah, I think.

And then they also want kind of the figure out the super soldier serum that they can use for creating their own, you know, tougher soldiers, tougher workers, that sort of thing. Right. And so, but then at the same time, they have very advanced Android technology where they don't need to wear helmets to breathe out in the non-breatheable space. If there's no oxygen, it doesn't matter. They don't need it. They don't need to eat. One of them is able to throw Rooney Mara across an entire laboratory into the wall. Yeah, their strength comes up once in a while and they end up being really strong.

And so it just seems to me like you've got your solution already for this making, you know, don't have miners, have workers all be these androids. And you came back with something I thought was kind of interesting. So tell people what you said. Yeah, my reply was, yeah, but look at the end of aliens when the xenomorph basically effortlessly rips bishop in half. And notice that it wasn't Bishop ripping the xenomorph in half. No, it's a good point, right? Like, ultimately, the way you do this is you figure out a way to merge your synthetics with a xenomorph. And right now, there's no.

Yeah, they can't figure out a way to do it. It's A tier versus S tier, or God tier, whatever. Yeah, I don't know. but I've been, the lore of it all is just in my blood right now. I'm just into it. I want to think about it all the time. I can't wait for that TV show next year. Oh, I know.

Yeah, the whole, the fact that it's called Alien Earth just as, uh, um, and do we know when that takes place? Yes, it's supposed to be timeline. Oh, shoot. I read this and then forgot. Hold on. Timeline of alien Earth. Pretty sure it was.

Here we go. Chronological timeline. of the universe. Here we go. Okay. Alien Earth, where is it? Did they not list it? Oh. Maybe not.

Let's see. Okay. Any time in order. I can't find it. There was a whole thing where this sat and it wasn't, it was in a place that surprised me. Damn it. I can't find it.

If anyone can find that, let me know. I cannot find that anywhere. But I'm curious where that fits. If I remember right, it was. somewhere in the middle of all of it. Oh, really? Okay. So not necessarily after covenant before alien, but maybe during like all the alien stuff.

Or it's, I mean, Mason Gregory says he thinks it's before alien, so that would be after covenant pre-alien. But I don't think that's what I heard. I thought I heard it was more like Romulus, where it was kind of nestled somewhere. Yeah. Can't remember. But anyway, I'm stoked.

No Holly, Ridley Scott. did it is set on earth in the near future thus marking the first of the franchise to do so without featuring Ellen Ripley so near future is what I'm I'm taking it as like alien like AVP was set in 2004

which is not a good movie but that was the timeline okay the new movie is after yeah we knew about the movie well we know that yeah but the TV show I don't know the fact that it's earth though so this is where I get full faith in Noah Holly got no issues right i'm ready for that guy to do whatever he wants um oh it's almost 100% why

i'm all in right because otherwise it'd be very skeptical oh yeah absolutely no holly right now no holly is the golden child can do no wrong for us yeah can do no wrong so all of that aside though when i first heard the name i went earth really well go to er right you know because i don't i think the whole point of the alien franchise is no one quite gets one back to earth we never quite screw that up although i guess the AVPs mess with that a little but I we also yeah I mean it would suck let's hope it's not going to be the point where oh no we actually you know sometime after covenant we were able to get some alien stuff back to earth this might just be like the establishment of the um the whale and utani merger and the company I mean there may be I hate to say it it might be very a little xenomorph yeah in the in the TV show yeah the teaser we saw showed you know it's definitely full of a big alien face doing a alien things, but it doesn't...

Oh, was it? Okay. But it doesn't mean it's going to be chocked full of it. And the teaser, by the way, Brian, very little info. It was like just a xenomorph head going with a, you know, thing. And that was like alien earth. And that was it. So I don't...

Yeah. And Mason Gregory confirms the new alien TV show takes place 30 years before Ellen Ripley encounter for xenomorph. All right. So that would have put Ellen Ripley, let's see she was 20 on the Nostromo. Yeah, so it's been 10 years before her birth. Before she was born. Okay.

I'm down with that. Yeah. I mean, whatever they do. Like I say, I'm all in. It'll be around the time that Harry Dean Stanton, Brett, on the Nostromo turned 50. There you go. Yeah. That guy, and then he stayed 60 for the rest of his life. That guy. He stayed 60 for the rest of his life. Yeah, exactly. Oh, my gosh. All right, real quick thing here. We went to a Thai place last night. By that, I don't mean the wearables. I mean the thing you eat, the food. And do you still have those in your malls? There used to be a place that was all ties.

do you ever have that store no they've turned into sock places they've turned into all socks yeah i feel like that's the same displays with the with the vertical stands but now they just put socks on them i think you're right i don't remember what it was called but when i was in high school the whole store dedicated to ties like tie one on or some shit dumb dumb right oh be some pun yeah fit to be tied yeah real dumb but anyway uh we're in this tie place eating food and we did it because it was van's first day at school first grade he's stoked we thought well let's take you know let's take him out to do where do you want to eat boy and he says I like curry so we said sweet let's go to a Thai place get some Thai curry yeah so we do that

we take everybody I want some pinning he likes yellow curries of any kind so that's what we sure oh me too yeah he's a big fan um good choice I like a I'm more of a drunken noodle or pad tie guy so that's what I do anyway we get there get a little cup of Tom yum I get the I get the what do you call it the peanut something thing I don't know what I got something without rice sure

and we're all having a great time and all the little ones are there and everything and our waitress comes up excuse me our server I guess is what you say now there's no waitress anymore right no or waiter even the band is not around anymore sadly because the lead singer passed away

yeah good movie though the waitress or waitress oh sure waitress yeah and play that is touring Carrie Russell? It's going to be at the Arvada Center soon. Really? I don't know that.

That's based on a play. I didn't know that. Yeah. And who's the musician that was Natasha Bettingfield? Or I can't remember who did the music for all of that. I don't remember. But I loved that movie.

I was so good. Heartbreaking. Anyway, sorry. You're eating Thai. Thai food. The server came over. Server came over. Young, very young girl, seemed very young

and very short. And I see you're just out of the Cormaya. I turn to look at her. And I swear to you, doppelganger, 100% doppelganger of Ariana Grande. Oh, really? 100%. Did she talk to you through her nose

like Ariana Grande sings? No, but she did a great impression of Shakira. No, I'm just kidding. Oh, good. Yeah, that is weird how Ariana Grande can do all those impersonation. She's really good at that stuff. She is really good. Holy shite.

She's talented. But she's also kind of ethereal and like a bit of a pixie. And so this is what this person reminding me of. And she also talked kind of like her, that higher register of speech, kind of quiet and airy. And I really mean this for a hot second. I was like, oh, my gosh. Ariana Grande is schlobbing it to be with the regular unwashed people as a waitress at night or a server at night. It's like how, uh, it's like how, um, uh, Lana Del Rey worked at a waffle house for a day.

Oh, right. Yeah. It was another one with Cia, too, where she was like a, oh, did she, did she, uh, work with the, something? The plebs for a little bit. Yeah, it was some kind of like Santa's helper kind of thing at a mall or something like that. And she didn't wear her wig or her lampshade or any of that. She was just out there normal. I think she's great, too. But anyway, it was very weird. And I, and I kept want, I kept being tempted. to say, does anyone ever told you you look like Ariana Grande? I could never get the guts up to do it because it just felt weird. I just don't want to be weird. I don't want to be weird, you know.

Yeah, no, you don't want to be the creepy. If you were 20 years younger, you might have been able to get away with it. But, hey, hey, little girl, anyone ever tell you you look like Ariana Grande? Yeah, and she was. You ever lick a donut when the, uh, don't know, the baker has their back turned? Yeah. It was like, and she's also, she was probably only, I don't know, maybe 17. It's just pretty young as best I could tell

And so I didn't want to be weird So I didn't but we tipped her well Not because she looked like Ariana Grande But because she did an amazing job She was very good So if you're ever at Oh I forgot the name of the place The whole point of this was to recommend the place

Oh really? Thai happy or it's like Thai Tie Golden Garden Dragon Damn it Oh my daughter told us hold on Let's see she said it in their group text It was Curry here we go

Okay. All right. Okay. Okay, here it is. Hi on the feed bag. Hi. Let's see. Curry. Okay. I can't find it. Damn it. Anyway, it's really good. And you should go. Oh, Thailand. But it's, it's Thai. No. Right. Two words, Thailand. Land. Yeah. So that's it. And it's in Riverton, Utah. If you're ever out here, it was great. Little hole in the wall, but the food is amazing. So check it out. Tyville. Tyville. Brian, what are you doing this weekend that I'm now jealous of? I am going retro, taking Brian Dunaway's place as being a retro gamer, and going to this thing called Alamo Arcades.

So you know that we do all the Alamo Draft House movies. I go on and on ad nauseum about how much I love the whole vibe of Alamo Draft House, and there's zero tolerance policy and all that stuff. they are doing a thing this weekend called Alamo Arcade and it is I'll put a link in there oh you're probably sharing stuff yeah we're showing a screen or the website right now it looks awesome I mean it looks like I'm already they have me I didn't realize this was connected to the Alamo stuff though

yeah yeah and so for five bucks I'm gonna get to play in a tournament of with other gamers I'm a lose I'm already saying I'm gonna be first or second out I'm sure of it But it's going to be several rounds, the first of which is that NES World Championship, where it's like speed-running Super Mario Brothers or Metroid or Kid Icarus or any of that old NES stuff. Then a round of Donkey Kong country. Then something that is mystery round, which I'm guessing, I'm predicting right now is going to be Mario Kart.

I feel like that is... Oh, yeah, why wouldn't you? It feels like a... Yeah. And then round four is Super Mario World SP. I don't know what that... Oh. What's SP?

Just special edition or something, probably. Okay. Well, now that they've said it that way, here's... So for the GBA, they made a version of Super Mario World, but they called it Super Mario Advance 3 or 4. It's a weird numbering system. So SP... Oh, here it is.

I don't know. That is. I'm getting SP versions, so special, just a special version. Oh, gives players maxed out lives as well as the fall theme that is unlocked upon completion. So it's really just Super Mario World This might be part of that stuff done always into Where they Oh shoot

What was it called? It was an any Super NES game Or no you can buy it on the switch now It's a It's basically a speed running Tournament pack of games like this That's the first thing

NES World Championship is that Oh this other thing Is that speed running thing Yeah but it's something Because I picked that up today Just to say all right Well let's see if I can For 2999

Let's see if I can Because this looks like fun right it's how quickly can you get the first mushroom in super mario brothers or get the the spin attack move in metroid or get to the end of the level in uh super mario brothers things like that sure but i think super mario world s p just might be the a new version of super mario world just like the deluxe edition that that has everything kind of unlocked for you yeah it says here they've got oh you know what you're absolutely right so they did this with they did this with that and super punchout on the Nintendo online service and basically so in punch out's case every single circuit

and every single opponent in the game will be available at the start I assume that's true here let's see super Mario yeah here it is it will give players maxed out lives as well as the fall theme you mentioned unlocked upon completion of the star road secret levels so they probably do that before you get there players can see this theme applied to the overall map blah blah blah blah a bunch of new elements so yeah it's it's just the brand new switch thing that you can get that's Cool. I'm excited. You're going to have to report back on how you did, you know? Yeah, I will. I'm looking forward to doing it. Burgess Diesel is going to be heading down there as well, so he's going to be playing, yeah, Tadpooler, Wes.

Nice. You guys are going to rock it. Sounds like fun. You're going to rocket. I doubt it. I'm going to, I'm going to be, oh, the first mushroom in the Super Mario Brothers. Okay. Oh, shoot, I fell down a pit. And after landing on a turtle wrong and I've never seen a. The pixels explode before, but somehow I managed to do that, too. Are they, I forget to ask if this was projected on big screens, because it's the Alamo? Of course it will. Yeah, it's going to be, it won't be in one of the theaters. It's actually in their bar. They've got a bar called Pandora's Box, and one of the walls is a big screen TV. So I'm guessing, I'm hoping that it's going to be like, all right, they're going to arrange the bar table. So we're still sitting at bar tables and playing. I don't want to be like having to stand up and, you do, do do do with a, you know. controller. I want to be comfortably sitting down big pint of cider next to me that I can blame. Oh, darn it, dulled my reflexes and that's why I failed. Oh, shoot. I'm legitimately

curious. Yeah, I can't wait to see how this thing's going to be set up. Take a bunch of pictures too while you're there. We'll do. Yeah, for sure. All right. We talked about Delta and flight delays and lightning and when that happens and all that stuff for my trip. actually got a pilot rode in and this weirds me out a little bit because i i don't know about you brian this is a weird thing i realized in this morning i've been thinking about it but i kind of never really want to meet a pilot and here's why it's not that i don't think you guys are great you are great it takes away a layer of superhuman mystery about you where i just put all of our trust all 300 of us or however many can fit in a certain kind of bowing i want to be in that plane and know

that the one guy and his two helpers, or whoever's all up there, y'all are the best of the best. And I don't want to know that you're not gods, you know? That you're just regular people with regular lives. It's like when they parade the first dragonhead through the city of the Red Keep in House of the Dragon. And everybody says, wow, we kind of always thought that the dragons were gods, but they are defeatable.

They are mortal. Yeah, they're, they're foul. And I don't like to know that. But so as much as I'm happy to virtually meet Shane here, the pilot, it still gives me just this feeling of like, oh, no, no, no, you need to be mysterious and hard to reach, you know. But anyway. Three doors down from us. Super Cryptonite. Three doors down from us is a pilot for United, a guy named Dan.

And he is great. And we love hearing his stories. But he is, he is the, not really the grizzled old pilot, but he is an older guy, white hair, just looks. like a pilot. Like, you look at this guy and say, yep, he's a pilot. He's a commercial airline pilot. You can picture him in that white shirt walking down the terminal with his bag behind him, ready

for his next stretch. A little rolly bag behind him. A pocketful of little wings to give the kids as he sees them. Oh, here you go. Here's a set of wings. Yeah, I'm going to ask me. I've ever been in a Turkish prison, that kind of stuff. You like glad to eater movies? Yeah. Well, anyway, so this is what Shane says. Scott and

Brian, I just heard your latest episode or one of your latest episodes where you had an email in some comments, this is regarding flying and stuff. He says, for background, I've been a Delta airline pilot for the last two years. Before that, a Marine Corps F-A-18 pilot. I've emailed in a couple of times. I do not remember those other times. But anyway, says the new Delta safety video is horrendous. I keep hearing about how bad it is.

Why are the passengers outdoors? I agree. I think it's very weird. And when I talked about it on the show, I had a few people riding and go, what's so weird about it? I'm like, have you seen it? Well, like, no. I'm like, well, then see it because it's freaking weird. Somebody gave us a link.

I haven't watched it yet because I'm more enjoying the fact that I'm visualizing it like those first few episodes of Lost where they're all sitting on the beach. Yeah. And that's the other thing is it's very, you know what? That's a dead on thing because it does give me Lost vibes. Yeah. And I don't think that's a good thing because Lost's whole core story is not great. No, planes don't do. Out of all of the characters on lust, the planes are the worst part.

The planes never have a good role. It's like they treat it like it's a dream. That's why I think it's unnerving because like the part where they say, please pay attention to signs that direct you where to go. So a kid and his mom walking around a dirt path and there's a post with a no smoking sign on it that looks like it's taken from the plane. And if that feels like a dream, I don't like it. Totally.

Anyway, so it's nice to hear he agrees as a pilot. And we had to watch it twice. Three times that week. Those two days. Anyway, WRT, your deck on deck. I don't know what that means. WR.T. Let's see.

Well, anyway. With regard to. Oh, with regard to. It does. You're shortening it like the kids do. Like the kids do. He says, your delay on deck, meaning when we got delayed. Just so you know, Department of Transportation regulations state that if passengers are on a plane on the ground for more than three

hours for domestic, four for international. They must be given the ability to come back to the gate and get off the plane. After two hours, they have to provide water and snacks. This rule came after an Alaska Airlines flight held passengers for 12 hours years ago. So Be Happy Years was only an hour and a half, L.O.L. Jeez. Can you imagine that, dude, sitting there. I would have seriously felt like being held hostage.

I would maybe never fly again. I know. Yeah. I don't know what they could possibly offer me that would make up for keeping me in the plane for 12 hours. That just gives me gas to hear that. That's horrible. Gave a lot of people gas on that flight, I'll bet. Anyway, it then goes on to say with lighting, or lightning rather, if an airport experiences lightning within five miles, all ground crew must go inside for their own protection. This means that an airplane can't push back, get fuel, load bags, et cetera. If they are already pushed back, they can taxi, but probably won't take off due to risk of lightning. This is now lightning strikes planes all the time, airborne without incident, but I've been told it's actually more dangerous on the ground. Specifically because of grounding.

Lightning going through a plane, no big deal, because it passes through. But if there's something that grounds it and it keeps the electricity, that's the bad thing. Oh, see, I always assume that grounding was a good thing because it, like if a car got struck, your tires. Maybe that's it. Is that it? Yeah. I don't know. Do you want it to pass through? Oh, see, now I'm, now I might have it backwards. Bobby, you're in here. Tell us, where's Bobby? He's in there. Somebody in the chat who knows this. Is it better to be grounded? I mean, I've always told that in a car, but maybe in the air, like you say, it just passes through or something. Bobby, please, explain, explain. It doesn't have to be. It can be whoever. I don't want to put all this heat on. Bobby, but we're getting...

I know. Like rubber sole shoes while you're getting struck by lightning is better than... Yeah. Right? Path of least resistance. Okay. All right. Talia says,

depends. And I think that that's just her saying if you're wearing a diaper, you'll have less of a problem when you get struck by lightning. So you don't want current to go through you. Yeah. So in other words, having, you want to be the end of the electricity. Yeah. So being grounded is.

better, yes. Yeah, so if you're in the plane and you're in the air, that seems worse. It seems like that would be worse, right? Or I guess not, because the electricity is stopping at the plane and probably not continuing to the ground. Yeah, how do you keep it from like burning out all your instruments and stuff

though, I wonder? Yeah, I don't know. Oh, we're just begging this guy to ride us back is what we're doing here. We are. Yes, we need Mr. Wessard, please, explain. Well, thank you, Shane. Oh, Bobby says in general, you want to be grounded. All right. Right. Yeah. I knew that that third prong on the electrical cord was good. You need that.

Yeah. That's what I've always been told, but I don't know. Always been told. That's why you have a static on my turntable goes away when I connect the grounding wire. That's right. Well, if you're somebody who works for, especially if you work for like the part of airlines that is mechanical or any of that, I would love to hear somebody write in and give us the skinny. Look, you're demystifying the whole thing here. We got a pilot. writing our stupid morning show i can't fly in his plane i can't do that you know what i mean we're not worthy yeah i know what you mean it doesn't feel right um all right let's get to some news today it's uh it's thursday you want to be informed let's give you the information i don't watch the news it's the news and it's brought to you by brought to you by coverville today recording the 1500th episode of coverville

Oh my God, it's finally happening. And is it special? No, it's going to be in celebration. It does time out perfectly for one of my favorite artists. A guy named Declan Patrick McManus, that was his birth name. He went by Napoleon Dynamite for a while. And then somebody took that for the movies. Hmm, you Hesses.

And now you know him as Elvis Costello. Dude's turning 70 on Sunday. And what better time for me to do an episode of Coverville all around the man, the myth, the legend, Elvis Costello. Oh, that's nice. Damn right. Also, congratulations, 1500 is no small freaking feat. Well done.

Yeah. I mean, how many shows? Podfade. How many, I was going to say, how many shows do you know that have reached that milestone? Us on here. Really rare. Oh, Don and Drew, are they still doing their show? I don't even know if they're still doing it.

Well, we tried looking for them a while back, and we couldn't find their website. They may have wrapped. But has no agenda? I don't think they have, right? Because they, it was the daily source code. Oh, no, no agenda has reached 1687 at least. Okay. Yeah, Donandrew.com's gone.

And I like the fact that Adam Curry is still using that photo of Adam Curry from 1987. Yeah. I mean, you know, it's his peak. It's when things peaked for him. I wish they'd explain how the soundboards work to us, but, you know. No kidding. Let's see. I'm trying to find when they ended.

It doesn't say. Let's see. Don and Drew. Without warning, Mivia shut off access to their web server. Oh. Okay. Oh, what was that? Oh, that's right.

You heard that because I was pulling up. There's a video showing. Adam Curry 2024 and I'm like I want to see what the dude looks like now it looks like it's all just Wheel of Fortune weird stuff That is weird. Okay so they may have ended around 800 it says here

for Don and Drew so there's the update there Okay I don't know Let's get to this news story We got some missing scissors in the news Missing scissors Yeah some more flight issues here Missing scissors caused 36 flight cancellations in Japan

Yeah Japan reeling from the flight cancellations. These are 36 flights canceled in Japan's new Chitosei airport. Chitosi? I don't know how you say it. Chitosei, yeah. Something like that. Chitosei?

Like, with some, again, somebody's going to correct me on this, and please do if I'm wrong. But you don't really put emphasis on any syllable. So chitosei. Chitose. As opposed to, yeah, as opposed to Chitose. It's like, Chitosei. Chitosei. You put the same amount exactly.

Tanaka. All flights are canceled. Here at Chittosay. Anyway, this is Saturday after a pair of scissors went missing. Japanese media reports that retail outlets at the airport, which serves the regional city of Tose, which is a place, I guess, on Japan's northernmost island. Hokkaido, Hokkaido, is that my sense? Hokkaido.

Hokkaido. I should stop doing that. are required to store scissors in a locker when staff needed to cut something they withdraw the scissors that's one way of saying it thanks for explaining how scissors work yeah thanks guys the register then they replaced them after they're done snipping but last saturday an unnamed retailer at the airport was unable to find this pair of scissors a lengthy search ensued during which security checks for incoming passengers were paused for at least two hours chaos ensued as queues expanded passengers were denied entry and airport authority scrambled to determine whether the scissors had been swiped by somebody with malicious intent. They saw 200 flights delayed, 36 canceled altogether. The mess meant some artist didn't appear at the music festival they were having. Happily, the scissors were eventually found. I don't know about happily.

You know what I mean? This whole article is so flowery and weird. It is a little weird. Yeah. Because to say they found them happily. Happily, well, I mean, I guess you don't want those mystery scissors still somewhere out there. But I'll bet they weren't happy. I'll bet they were like, oh, my gosh, finally.

I mean, they were relieved. Relievably, yes. Yeah, that's better because Happily's like, oh, we found him. Hey, you guys, it's okay. Don't worry about all those delayed flights and the 36 canceled ones. We found the scissors. Wee. Take these scissors.

It's dangerous to go alone. See, I've been playing. I've been playing too much Zelda as part of the. prep for this NES World Tournament thing. I think you're going to lay waste to all the competitors. Oh, I doubt it. I doubt it. The only advantage I have is that

I bought the NES on day one to replace the 2,600 that I got when it came out. I'm going to be older than most of the people there probably that I'm playing against. Yeah, I'd be really curious. How does that help?

I don't know. I'd be really curious who the main players will be. Just to just demographically, will it be older guys who played NES in high school? Will it be a bunch of kids? Yeah, who knows? I mean, it could be a bunch of old farts like me. Or like, yeah, I remember playing this cartridge because it came with my brand new NES. Yep.

I still have my duck hunt game, gun. Right, my Zapper. My Zapper. Anyway, I'm going to show up. I'm going to show up with my Nintendo Power Glove. Dude. Why wouldn't I? Why wouldn't you?

Also, I forgot you had that. and also I'm jealous because I never got one I always wanted one. What did those go for on eBay now? I could buy one, I guess. eBay, uh, Power Glove.

I'm going to look this up. Oh yeah, look at this. Nintendo. Oh, I can get one for like 50 bucks. I could do that. It's not terrible.

Some of them with all the parts and pieces of like 200. There's one that's never been opened. Never been open 525. Good Lord. Oh, wow. I won't be doing that If anyone has one out there And you want to sell it on the relative cheap

I don't care I'll beat it up it is I just want one Somebody find me Let me know Oh Brian look at that It fits like a glove Fits like a Nintendo power glove I always say

Oh my God Look at that thing It's so dumb Have we never watched Have we ever watched The Wizard For Filmsack? I don't think we have That's where they debuted

that thing. That's how dusty this thing is. I was able to write high in the dust on there. That's amazing. Yeah. Well, you should, are you going to wear it? You should wear it. Oh, my God. I got to wear it. I think I got to wear it just to show up like a big dork. We have to do the wizard. It's not on here. Oh, yeah. We totally have to do the wizard. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. All right. Riloh-Kiley. Not Riloh, what's her name? Not Riloh Kylie, but the singer is a name that she was in the band, Rylew. Kylie and her real name is I can't remember

I can remember either I just remember Fred Savage and Christian Slater and that's it and Super Mario Brothers 3 doing the bird with the Nintendo Power gloves yeah Jenny

oh that's it Jenny on the block no Jenny on the block yeah that's exactly from the block I guess anyway yeah All right. We just got the power bird. You're right, Shatterproom. You totally got the power bird.

Poor Tina. Tina's like, oh, I am not going with you if you are going to wear that thing. Yeah. You should hide it from right. Jenny Lewis. Thank you. She's Louise. Jenny Lewis. So she, oh, I know who that.

Okay. I recognize the name now. All right. Yeah. Somebody showed me a clip of an old, um, a different strokes episode. Mm-hmm. Where, who's the older brother? The one that's still alive.

Lewis. Todd, Todd. Oh, that's why I was thinking Lewis because Jenny Lewis. Willis. Yeah. Or, yeah, you're not Lewis. It is Willis. What you talk about, Willis?

Okay, now we got it. Anyway, Willis is teaching some girl that he just met, like a young girl, how to dance. Oh, probably Charlene and probably young Janet Jackson, right? No, it was some white girl. And I was like, she looks familiar. And I started doing some digging. it's Jan from the office oh really it's it's so weird to see her in a because you know how she's always pantsuit professional looking even in a comedy like the office it's not she's very i don't know

i don't know what the word is put together yeah and in this thing she's just some young 80s kid learning how to dance because willis knows how to get groovy i don't know that was weird oh that's funny wow i'll have to find it crazy uh all right all right Well, there's that story. And let's talk about this one. Scissors found. Happy, Happy days.

Yeah, scissors found. Everything got working again. It's all good. Stingray. Let's talk about stingrays. Okay. A stingray that got pregnant. This was actually in the news a while ago.

I don't think we talked about it. But the stingray that got pregnant without a male companion. So a asexual pregnancy. Right. Has died. Aw. That's kind of a bummer. Stingray that got pregnant in North Carolina,

Aquarium this winter, despite not having shared a tank with a male of her species has passed away. The aquarium and shark lab of Hendersonville. You ever been there? Is that a place for that? Hendersonville. Sounds familiar. I don't know if I

drove through Hendersonville like on the way to like New Bern or Hendersonville might have been part of the group that was God, because I did. It feels like North Carolina was one of those cities or states where I did. Went to six or seven different cities.

Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, hit the papers in each of those. Wilmington. Concord, Newburn, and there were a few around Newborn. Oh, yeah, Asheville Citizen Times. He probably just drove through. This is probably one of those towns, right? I probably did. I probably passed through it, yeah.

Some right reason it sounds familiar almost like this is where Dan lives, but I don't think that's right. Yeah. But it's something like that where he lives. Anyway, one of my kids came, Nick came to me. the other day and said, Dad, if we moved to North Carolina, would you guys move there? And I went, what are you talking about? You guys aren't moving to North Carolina.

And he's like, well, I'm just saying, if we did. And I'm like, well, why? Was there an opportunity? Was there something I haven't heard about? And he's like, no, really. With Carolina all of a sudden. I don't know. I said, are you guys looking to go to a more red state?

Because you'll get it. Do you want, what are you looking for down there? They're like, we're just wondering. I'm like, well, I don't know. I have no idea. Oddly enough, I've said that, in all the travels that I did in the 90s for the company and almost all 50 states. If I, if they ever said, you know, Brian, we all agreed here in Colorado that we're tired of your crap.

So you have to leave Colorado. Then they just kicked me out. North Carolina would be the state. State, by the way, Mr. Baltzine, whatever your name is, would be the state that I'd move to. And I would probably look at Charlotte or Wilmington or, I mean, Wilmington's. right on the coast. It's beautiful. That sounds nice. I loved. Yeah. That does sound nice. But then you've also got to worry about hurricanes.

That's true. You don't have to worry about that here in Colorado. That's true. You can go a little more inland, I guess. Asheville's not too, it's inland, isn't it? Is Nashville North Carolina? Ashville is more inland, yeah. Okay. Well, anyway. So is the Research Triangle, Raleigh, Durham. Yeah, I think it's, if I had to pick.

Oh, yeah, Greensboro News and Register. God, I think every, I feel like I've been to every major. city in North Carolina. Yeah. If there was, I mean, of all the places to go, I wouldn't mind that. That sounds fine. Yeah. How about, um, so he said, not, I wouldn't move to Utah with Scott.

Nope, I wouldn't. Listen, Scott would be the reason I would move to Utah. Yeah. To be around Scott and Kim and the kids and Corinne and, and, you know, everybody out there. Yeah. Um, KT data and all the, all the, the tadpullers out there. But, um, I don't think I fit the Utah vibe. I think they'd get tired of my shit a lot quicker than Colorado would get tired of my shit.

Oh, I think you'd probably be fine. I'd last two weeks and they'd say, we know you came. We know Colorado kicked you out and we were glad you chose Utah. But keep it moving. Keep it moving. Also, in a lot of ways, it's a lateral move. Like, you're just moving to another mountainous. It's the same climate.

It's, you know, like if you really want something new, it wouldn't be that new. here. If anything, you just stay in Colorado, like, why would you? Right. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I'd want to I'd want to go somewhere somewhat coastal, California. There's parts of California I'd love to go to, and then, of course,

you've got to worry about fires and earthquakes. Well, I say fires. Lookout Mountain is on fire, and that is four miles, well, maybe more than that, but not too far from where we live. Yeah. I can be at that fire in 15 minutes.

Yeah. If I wanted to be at that fire, Yeah, we did pretty good firewise this year, but we still get all the Canadian stuff and we get things blowing over from you. But here in general, we had a year of like low fires, which doesn't happen. We usually have a very dry summer. We had a very wet summer. And I don't know why, but I'm here for it. Now on to sports. That was weather.

Oh, no, this story. Here's a quick story about this stingray. It got, so, okay, let's see if I can find it here. They got pregnant, there were no males in the tank with it, so it... Yep, and unfortunately, it says in late May she was suffering from a rare reproductive disease, even though she's kind of a reproductive marvel. They announced in June. Stingray herpes.

Again, how did she get it? I know, right? So she actually miscarried the pregnancy. You'd say that for an animal, right? It's still miscarrying. Yeah, yeah. Is the right word? Yeah, it's still right.

it's an interrupted birth. There you go. Pregnancy was thought to be the result of a type of asexual reproduction called Parthenogenesis, sorry, parthenogenesis, which is Sega was originally going to call their console the Parthinogenesis. Which is a word I learned thanks to a shriek back song. Oh my gosh, really? Yeah.

Parthenogenesis? Yeah. On no way. uh freaks and cannibals and prehistoric animals everybody happy is the dead come home big black nemesis parthenogenesis no one move a muscle is the dead come home wow that shriek back man and and the way i sing it it sounds like a nursery rhyme no it's a this is a heavy these guys were we're heavy uh post punk new wave stuff wow shriek back's awesome i don't i don't think i've ever heard them i'll have to check them out um i can't stop listening by the way i know i'm all over the place but i can't stop

listening to your recommendation of the beaches yesterday. The beaches are awesome. Those are awesome. I also listen to a ton of Phoebe Bridgers. Oh, she's great. Oh, well, you have to go back and listen to my episode a couple weeks ago or last week of Coverville.

Yeah. She was the day where I was like, I haven't heard her in a while. And maybe it only heard two songs or something. Yeah, yeah. Her whole catalog is so good. She's amazing. Oh, so good.

Something about her, dude. She's like a space girl. I don't know what's going on there. Well, then now you get a lot. listen to some boy genius, which is her and Lucy Dacus and a third person whose name I can't remember again. Let's see, boy genius. Oh, here we go.

Oh, I didn't know that was her. Well, now I can see her. Oh, yeah, this will be up today. I'll be listening to this today. There you go. Very good. Thank you, Phoebe Bridgers. Let's see.

So anyway, she died. Basically, they develop from unfertilized eggs. This is very rare. Most rare phenomenon can occur in some insects, fish, amphibians, birds, reptiles, not mammals. At least no known versions of this with mammals, including us. Let's see, Komodo dragons and yellow-bellied water snakes can also have asexual pregnancies. So it's interesting. Really? Okay.

Yeah. I don't know if any human has ever claimed it, but we're not technically supposed to be able to do it. Yeah. September says that that aquarium, in quotes, hid stuff and light about. stuff so apparently like what some abuse things or or just lying about the asexual pregnancy to get publicity and get people coming to the aquarium is that the deal that's a bummer that is a bummer i don't like that's true geez well she'd know she you're down there right i guess she's in the yeah yeah she you live outside of ashville right september am i remembering

frankly only during the rest of the year during september she lives anywhere she wants in all places throughout the month of September. Yeah. I guess if we moved to North Carolina, we'd see a whole bunch of people like heard. Yeah. Yeah. You'd be closer to Donaway. You'd be closer to Bobby. There's a lot of benefits

to North Carolina. That's true. But I also like that. So you've actually done me a great favor today because you said you don't think you fit in Utah. I like when people think they don't fit here. Yeah, yeah. Not you in particular. No, I know. You don't want people moving there. I did. I want them to think we're weird.

I want them to think we're weird. So they'll stop driving house prices up and cost of living prices. Because what's happened in the last few years, post-pandemic is they discovered it's beautiful and amazing here. And we're like, no, no, no, no, no. Stay where you are. We, I can't afford things as it is. All right. Brian, we're going to take a break.

When we come back from the break, Brian's got a game for me. No Wendy today. She's out. Just got some people in town. I've got a game today. It's called, Where's Wendy? And you know what I did? I closed.

boy, this is a mistake. I closed my email program. I closed Apple Mail before I got notes on who the artist is today. So let me pull that up real quick, like. Actually, I wonder if I can just pull it up on the web. I'm going to do that. Yeah, the web is, the web will work. I like the web.

I wonder if I could Google information about this person. You sure could. A brand new album by a guy named Hamish H-A-M-I-S-H-H-H-H-H-H. yeah um he is uh he is uh where is uh where is uh where is his about page where is hamish talks about page i found his website at hamish hawk dot com yeah he's a scottish musician you know like those fine boys and mcfly sure um he was a student at the university of st andrews now we're getting too much in the weeds with the bio um anyway he's got a brand new album that's coming out and uh it's really really good he had his breakthrough back

in 2020 with an album called Heavy Elevator. That was kind of his big break. Also covers, he did covers of Leonard Cohen, Suzanne, the Smiths, please, please, please, let me get what I want, stuff like that. Got on NPR, got the Scottish Album of the Year Award in 2022. Got a brand new album called

A Firmer Hand, just came out last weekend, last Friday. This is disingenuous from that album. Then's the brakes, watch me, watch me crash land, on field, on fields of idle minds, on fields of idle minds, hard-worked by barren hands Droughts with mouths bring darts to love I'm whistling drinking songs In thinking slowly drinking his gin All to live long

You're perfect for taking me to heart But I spy shades of disingenuous A fortnight's fitful sleep on my eyes Is there something stirring in the silence That I might weaponize No fun I touched one once I want to touch two of them twice You turn your weakest shoulder to me

And ask will I suffice You're perfect for leading me on To this stage Tommy Cooper died on You're perfect for taking me to heart You're perfect for playing your part You're precious for putting me on But eyes by shades of disingenuous But eyes by shades of disingenuous

It was the Hamish Hawk. And from his brand new album, A Firmer Hand, that is the lead single called Disingenuous. This guy's great. Look for more music from him all over streaming and YouTube and all that stuff. I think we're going to hear a lot of stuff from Hamish Hawk soon. The name Hamish is very almost Mennonite or Amish.

Is that what it is? Well, it's what it sounds like. If you say that, I hear that. It does, yeah. Oh, old Hamish putting up a barn this afternoon. Exactly. You know, you just don't hear it very often. Yeah, yeah.

That's cool. All right, you guys, it's time for us to play a little bit of a game with Brian. I even, we'll even cue this one up. All right. I love getting challenged. And Brian has brought. Yet another challenge while Wendy's out. I love challenging you. Look at this. Like you had Monday, you had half-asses against Dunaway.

Tuesday, you had TV Travis's game with me. Wednesday, yesterday, you had a feud. Yep. And now you got this. It is the week of challenges every day for Scott. I'm in. I'm ready for this because I feel like I'm on a bit of a roll. I didn't win yesterday. Yeah, yesterday. But I won Monday. And I didn't win with Travis either. So I'm actually behind. I can't even remember. Did we tie with Travis or did I win? I don't remember.

I think you win, one. I don't remember either. Travis is in the chat. He can tell us. Travis is in the chat room, please. Like, if it was a tie, we would have done a tie breaker, right? Or was it because it was the fifth question, we didn't do a tiebreaker. Oh, right.

Don't remember. He'll have to fill us in. I don't remember. We tied. He says we tie. Oh, we did tie. Okay. Well, then I do feel better about my week in general.

Yeah. Well, you have no competition here. So I feel like you'll do great on this one. This is going to be a little tougher one. And I'm going to say if you get four of the 12 questions correct, then you will have won, whatever the winning means in this sort of thing. And this is an audio-only quiz about voice actors. I'm going to play 12 clips, but there's multiple voices per clip, all done by the same person. I want you to tell me who that person is.

Okay. Okay. All right. I can do that. You should have a lot of fun with this one. Should we start off? Let's do an easy one. You heard a little clip of him earlier in the show when I was testing the audio. You'll hear three clips from this person. Chetson, I thought I fired two. Now get out. Okay.

It's not junk, Fred. Scientists are working on these things right now. What is science fiction today may be science fact tomorrow. That's all for it. All right. Well, that is a pretty easy one. That is Mel Blank, I believe. That is 100% Mel Blank. Very good.

Easy points right off the board for you. Oh, look. It's some more fun from Loopback. Loop back. Fix your crap. Yeah. All right. Fix your poop.

This one is going to go a little more, a little more modern, a little newer. Yeah. 2000s is who are going to be looking in here. All right. And let's see how you do with this person. I don't have sob stories like all of you.

I could sit here and complain how our mom liked Zuko more than me, but I don't really care. My own mother thought I was a monster. She was right, of course, but it still hurt. You can't optimize fun, Velma. You just have fun. I'm not a fly, Billy's dad. It's me. Mandy I need you to get grim

Oh Adventures of Billy and Mandy The Well I should know this You should Oh she's so good And she's done tons since Oh I can't think of her name

Uh I can't do that I can't think of it I can't even guess one Janelle Joyford. It's a made-up name. Janelle Joy. I don't know how you did it.

Janelle Joyford. No, that is Gray Delisle. Ow! Gray, Griffin. Gray Delisle. Wait,

did she get married to somebody named Griffin? That way? I don't know. I don't know why it lists the second name. Probably, probably,

or maybe she married somebody named Delisle. I don't know. Yeah, she's really good and all over the place. So I should have gotten that. That's a voice that you hear all. It really is.

Yeah, you hear all over the place. Yeah. All right, this one, you definitely, you'll definitely recognize the voices this person does, also looking at the late 90s and a lot in the 2000s. Okay. Sweet, giant Antita of Santa Anita. The professor's been eaten by giant antitas. Akul, I will return to the past and destroy you once and for all.

The name's static. I'll put a shock to your system. All right. that is definitely Phil Lamar, isn't it? 100% Phil Lamar. Good one. Futurama static shock and I don't know the one with a boo. I also got shot, Samurai Jack.

Yeah, he got shot in the face by, accidentally shot in the face by John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. He's the guy in the back of the car. Oh, really? Oh, I didn't know that. That's great. That's Phil Lamar. That's great that he got shot in the face.

They were the one when they were talking. about like what do you call a burger from France and all that crap he's the one that ended up getting shot right in the face that's hilarious all right wow marvin you got a guy in the car in the garage without a head poor Marvin uh all right let's go to video game uh voice work this one and um three clips here okay i'm commander shepherd and this is my favorite store on the citadel oh inquisitor it's got a good ring to it we're happy to be here your worship you need anything, let me know. Don't listen to him, Bolt.

If you're broken, so am I. And I think we're pretty awesome. She's got such range. That would be Jennifer Hale. Jennifer Hale. Jennifer Hill is correct. Good job. She's awesome.

If it wasn't for the Shepard thing, though, I don't know if I'd know her name as readily because she was so good in Mass Effect. She's so great. Even though I played the dude for my first play-through, I will admit she's the better voice actor. Sorry, dude, what played the dude, but she's better. Gotcha.

All right. This one is a combination of video game stuff and animated TV. And this one is dedicated, at least the first part of this is dedicated to Zoe. Baking pancakes, making baking pancakes. Take some bacon and I'll put it in a pancake. I'm Walker. Coach and captain of the Besaid Orox Brother. All right.

Time to introduce the new cog to the old cog. and clear these bucket heads out of my house. Oh, Gears of War. That's Joe DiMaggio from Futurama and stuff, right? Yeah, what's his first name? Not Joe. Sorry, John DiMaggio, John. Here's to you, John DiMaggio.

We just do that. I always say Joe with him. Yes. John DeMaggio. He couldn't have Bender in there. It'll be a little bit too obvious, yeah. But he's so great in Gears. I really hope that new gears has got way more of him.

It's a Tina show. Start with me, Tiny Tina. Yet as soon as I leave the sacred lands, everyone calls me Eloy of the Nora. It should be Eloy despite the Nora. Shit. Okay, I see you're a geek now with a great imagination, but this is an animation. or video game. Oh, thank you.

I'm sorry, Kim brought food. I love her. It's kicking, but she has known all of these, I think, so far. I know her, I mean, I love those games that she's in where she's A-Loy. She's an amazing character, and I can't think of her name. I don't even know. I know A-Loy. What is that? That's into the West, and what's the, or what's the, um, Scott

what's it called something into the west is the new one the first one was called Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Into the West Amazing games There's some of the Sony's best work They're also on PC now

Amazing games But I don't think I know her name Damn it And the thing is she looks just like Eloy they did full facial capture on her Oh really? So I feel like I even know her face I just can't think of her name

So I'll just make one up Hey, that's Christine Fargulera. Oh, my gosh. I love her song, Futeful. Yeah, that is Ashley Birch. Oh, shoot, now I know it. I mean, I literally know it, but now it shook it free. Now I know it.

Damn it. Like a genie in the bottle. You shook that one free. Dang it. All right. Let's go with English anime dubs. And video games. English anime dubs and video games.

I'm here for the rescue. Hurry up. What are you stupid? Oh my gosh. Canada. Yeah, I was going to say right from Akira. Oh my gosh. Uh, it's an old one.

Older. Late 90s. The, yeah. I cannot think of this person. The middle one, obviously, a newer video game franchise. Yeah. Yeah, he's, it's very distinct, especially when he yells. Like, you just immediately go, oh, it's that dude that played.

Yeah. Yeah, he played Canada or whatever. Yeah. Um, so it's going to be another guess. Terestrong. Oh, my gosh, so close. That is Johnny Young Bosch. Oh, I would never have gotten that one.

Damn. I mean, I know the voices and I don't know what game that. What was the game in the middle? What's that from? The one from Persona. I think it was the persona. Oh, Persona, probably five, the most recent. Yeah.

That's a great game. And I have heard him in there, but I didn't. I didn't realize that was the same guy. That's crazy. Yeah. Wow. I guess I could play this one. There you go.

There you go. Exactly. All right. This one, late 90s and but into the 2010s. Okay. Wow. Sporty go-kart, Lila. So hip and sexy.

Not like you at all. Shit. Hello. My name is Judy. I have been given the great honor of showing the avatar around Basin-Sé. you know what I've always wondered propane is called liquid petroleum but isn't it a gas Mr. Hill

three at least two the two of the three things stuff you watch on the regular I think that's so that was Amy Wong in the first clip from the character Amy Wong in Futurama I'm watching King of the Hill right now

and she plays Khan's wife con Jr. oh my gosh i cannot think of her name um this is going to this is going to kill me um i'm going to feel like an idiot i know i know maybe i know her so well i mean i just know her voice it's so immediate she plays her freaking mom her own mother in futurama oh really yeah of course yeah i i don't know it All right. It is Lauren Tom. Damn it.

Another one. Talley is got, I think, all of them except for one. I think she's... She played Ross's girlfriend on Friends, too. Oh, no way, really? I don't know if I've seen her, like, physically, like, what she looks like outside of her voice, but I'd have to look that up. Lauren Tom, you say? Was there name?

Lauren Tom, yeah. I'm bummed that I didn't know that one. Asian actress. Oh, right. She's in all sorts of stuff. Here she is. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, I should have recognized her. She's amazing. let's get back to one that I have no doubt you're going to get this one animated movies TV shows and a video game franchise I can read your future I can change it around some two I look deep into your heart and soul you do have a soul no to Lawrence my kind have no names but you humans call me Goliath you did good

I'm proud of you speaking of Mass Effect he's great in that that is Keith David yes it is very good the great Keith David should be in everything ever made he really should he was here in Denver at the Fan Expo I saw him

we walked through the celebrity alley and I was like oh my God there's Keith David but I'm not going to pay 40 bucks to go and stand and talk to him No, no. But he's got a look to him that is so striking. Yes, he really does, yeah. And the president in the Rick and Morty franchise. Oh, right, yeah.

And in great, by the way, one of the best, so whenever Ken Burns does something, it's always a toss-up between who he's going to use for his narrator. It's usually Keith David or Peter Coyote. And I love both, but when it's Keith David, I get extra excited because his stuff is awesome. Like the World War II one they did, he does. and I think maybe even the one about Prohibition. I think it was just called Prohibition.

Wasn't there a Prohibition documentary called Prohibition? No, called something would be the way you do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's so good in all those, man. He's such a great narrator. All right, good one. Cool, very good. All right, animated TV and movies

in the late 80s into the early 2000s. Oh, I'm scared. Actually, early to mid-80s into the early 2000s. Okay. Ooh, look at the cute. Fuzzy heads. What are you? Puppies?

Kiddits? Big fuzzy buggy. You are a scholar. Are you not? Judging from your diminished physique and large forehead, you are suited for nothing else. Jamble Gadget, a real South American fiesta right here in Metro City. Okay. I think that's Tara Strong.

It is not. What is it? Um, that is, uh, Cree summer. Oh, shit. I don't know who that is. I recognize that voice immediately because that first, what was the first clip? Is that from like,

uh, uh, sound like animaniacs, I think. Oh, yeah, that's it. Yeah.

It's anemaniac. That's the girl. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, 1889. Frick! Oh,

Tiny Tune Adventures. Oh, was it? I hate Tiny Tunes Adventures. I hate it. That and the little Mupp of the baby Muppets thing. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I know something like Nicole will probably kill me for saying that again. She hate, she loved that stuff. I hate the baby Muppets animated thing. I hated it. Fier, Fiery passion, a thousand sons, Brian, so bad. They're Muppets. You're not supposed to animate Muppets.

You're supposed to have Muppets on your hands. You don't need, exactly. You don't need to make cartoon versions of Muppets because Muppets are just as good, better, if not. Lame. Yeah. Lame, all right. Let's go with more, back to the 2010s,

and even into the 2020s. So much more modern and video games and anime. I'm not good, not bad, but I sure is hell ain't ugly. Look,

no one ever said Joturo Kujo was a nice guy. There is still much evil for boo and means to stamp out. But we need not fight it alone. I would be Matt Mercer, I believe. That is exactly right.

Matt Mercer. Very good. Yep. I recognize, was it, well, they changed his name. What's his name now in Overwatch? Oh, I don't know. Used to be McCree. Is that what the middle clip was?

No, I think the first clip was him. First one? Not bad, but I sure is only ugly. Yeah, Cassidy, they call him now. Cassidy, okay. That was part of the, because McCree was one of the skeevy guys at Blizzard, and they named the character after McCree.

Because you can rearrange the letters in Mercer to make McCree. Well, oh, maybe. no well mercer yeah you can but but mccree the guy that was named after was a dude that worked at blizzard and he was one of the ones that was harassing women oh gosh okay so blizzard blizzard's like we gotta change the name of that character so they changed it to cassidy wow okay that was a big big who uh all right this last one scott this is it you uh you've been kicking butt at this thing for the whole thing now i'm gonna have to give you one where you get two voices to identify oh shit because these these these these two people have appeared in multiple pieces of media together, video game, uh, video game stuff together. You don't get one without the other. Okay. So, um, you're getting both of them. You have to tell me who, uh, both of them are. I'm scared. And you can do this. You've got this. All right, all right. Yeah, I guess you, there's one R left over with McCree. McCreer. McCreer. McCreer. Two R's and Mercer. Anyway, all right, tell me who these two are.

We never know when an attack might come. Sloppy combat technique wouldn't serve us well. Well, not an issue now, Jedi. You're all right. Nate. Oh, Sam. Jesus, no. No. Listen, Avery's treasure was out.

It was always ours. I left my light for you. When no one's looking, we'll be back for your other eye. Oh. Don't you forget? We're everywhere. We really are, aren't we? All right, I heard...

I don't want to screw this up. I heard Nathan Philean, and I heard wash. Oh, shit. Hold on. Or maybe I... Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I know what that is. Okay, it just hit me.

Uncharted. It's uncharted. It's the brothers. It's, um... I played, I played Calla Dutie with this guy. Oh, Troy Baker is his older brother. And the main guy, Nathan Drake, is Nolan North. Please tell me I didn't kill myself over this.

Is that right? You did it exactly right. Well done. Yeah, Nolan North, Troy Baker. I was really worried you were going to really stick to the Tudik and Philly and. Well, you know what's funny about that is the reason that came to mind first is it's always been this thing where people are like, Nathan Drake should be played by Nathan Philean. He sounds just like him.

It's so weird. He does. He totally does. And looks like a lot like him. Yeah, totally should have been Philean. Well done. Damn, dude.

That was rough. Seven correct answers out of 12. So only five that you missed. I feel pretty good about that. Oh, yeah, you should. You should. That was very,

very good. Yeah, that's, that's, it's wheelhouse, but it's also a good challenge. That was super fun. I like that a lot.

See what we do? You guys, Wendy doesn't come here. and we make, this is therapy in a way, right? It kind of is, yeah, exactly. It's a brain, it's brain exercise. John Sina says, learn something, any, use your downtime to learn something new. He was reading textbooks on the, on the set of this horrible jackpot movie that Tina

watched last night that will not be a recommendal. I like Aquafina, and this was a little too much Aquafina for me. It was really, it was like two hours of, of a family guy, uh, Peter Griffin fighting the giant chicken is what it was. Oh, wow. That doesn't sound good. No, there's no fun. You need that in small doses.

That is not a thing you want a lot of. That's what makes it good is small doses. So, sorry, Jackpot. When Megas in the chat asks if I've ever seen the uncharted fan film with Phelian, I never saw that. I heard they did it. It was like some kind of short to try to convince producers that he was the guy to choose. Oh, really? And they really could have if they'd have started a long time ago.

Tom Holland's fine. And they're making a new one, and it'll be fine. I just think that, I just think he would have been awesome. It's on YouTube. I'll have to check it out. All right. So that's a, that's a thing called Learn. So I belong to a trivia group called Learned League, L-E-A-R, N-D, League, Learned League.

And it's an invite-only trivia thing that I've been part of since the mid-90s, online quizzes, trivia questions, things like that. A daily, they've seasons, and then you get a daily set of questions, and you're paired up against somebody else. and you don't just have to answer the trivia questions. You have to predict how well your opponent is going to answer the same trivia questions and you can see how they've done in all the different categories over the years. So you can say, oh, they suck at geography.

I'm going to wager higher that they miss the geography one. I get the ability to invite one player every season. So if anybody's interest in wants to know about this or wants to be part of it, let me know. um i can like you said i can invite one person um like three times a year uh refer a refer a player and uh uh it's fun it's a lot of fun that sounds like a blast yeah it's a cool way of doing that yes exactly and amy's like i'll do it amy's in excellent it's not like this this uh voice acting thing is is an outlier they do these specials called one days where it's like all right

let's take one category and ask you 12 trivia questions about it but for the most part every day is maybe you'll get a history question, a film question, a music question, a science question. So, but yeah, no, it's, if you're interested, Amy, then I'll get you in. And I think it's like 35 a year. It's one guy who does this whole thing himself. And I've played trivia with him, like actually physically in a room played trivia with him. And he is brilliant, really, really cool. It sounds like the kind of project you might do. You know what I mean? Like something like that. It does. And if he didn't do it, I'm, Might have. Yeah, exactly.

It's pretty awesome. Well, there you go. Hey, a couple of quick things. We've got an email takes out of here today. Joe from Plymouth, Minnesota. Okay. I wanted to read that as Plymouth, something else. We didn't land on Plymouth, Minnesota.

Plymouth, Minnesota landed on us. That's right. High, shiffer and breaks. I don't know what a shift. Oh, shifter. Shifter. Yeah, that TNF, like to merge there. Not long ago, I was in the Walgreens,

down to the Walgreens, as we say here. and I heard the theme from six-pack, Kenny Rogers with love will turn you around. It took me back to the days when we would go to the video store and rent two movies and a VCR. I remember the movie fondly. I was talking about six-pack.

So I had to find it and find it I did. I will say it is not as great as when I was 10, but I still enjoy it. Glad you brought it up, Joe. Yeah, I've got a few of these. People are fond of six-pack in a way that I didn't expect. Crazy.

Yeah. It's a really weird. To me, it's such an obscure small, movie that nobody saw it feels like i remember seeing the trailers for it and i always pretty much equated it to uh in the same genre as the every which way but loose uh movies like basically if they had if we went to the drive-in and saw every which way but loose it would be paired with six-pack no i agree with you there there's a genre of like um good old boy road travel i don't know how to explain it right right

But this is one of those. The sheriff is the bad guy. Yeah. Yeah. I think that stereotype is dead on. The good guy drives around with something that's got shelf paper on the side of it. Yeah. Yeah.

And I would even put bad news bears in the category, even though it's very different, like country focused or whatever. But there was this era of that same, that same like positivity kind of thing. Yeah. Like, oh,

this family. Yeah. Joe from Plymouth, I also remember a time when I would go to the video store and rent the VCR and the movies. Like, before we had our own. own VCR back when I was, when I had to unplug my brand new 2,600 to watch a movie. Yep.

And unplugging was more than just unplugging back then. You had to unscrew the little RF thing. Two RF things to unscrew and pull those two tabs off and then stick another one on there that the VCR would plug into. What were we even doing? Like sticking a screwdriver to the back of a TV, which carries a huge voltage. Yeah. You and your 8K-H-DMI 2.0, whatever the hell it is, freaking ease of life.

Oh, I just unplugging H-D-M-I-M-I, and now I can play PlayStation. Yeah, no idea. Oh, Molly Fanton brought up Bugsie Malone. I loved that movie. I think it's bad now. We probably should film sack it, but it's like... Kids as gangsters, right? Yeah, and they shot whipped cream out of their guns, and it was pies.

Do you remember this? Yes. And it had Michael Jackson, Scott Bayo, I think. I can't remember who all. The bunch of people that went on to do other things, I used to think that was so great back in the day. It's not. It's not.

Okay. It's bad. All right. I have to admit it. Oh, Jody Foster. She was kind of like a, hey, what are you doing? She looked like a flapper. She had like a...

Really? Okay. Yeah. It was really dumb. I mean, I would watch it again. That's a film sack movie for sure. We just got to get around to it. all right let's move on to a couple of things going on the instance 2.0 first episode landed yesterday

there were some problems with the feed i had to work with the host on it i think it's because it got hit kind of hard i'm not actually sure what the hell happened there but a lot of people not everybody but it was like a split but who could get it and who couldn't overnight and i was up late trying to figure it out and working with support and it was a big old pain in the ass anyway it's all good now it's up there confirmed both on the mega feed and the instance feed if you're confused at all about what feed you should be on, go to frogvance.com slash instance, and it's there. It went really well. Bobby was great. It was a fun, fun episode. And if it doesn't make you want to play Wow, then I don't know what to tell you. All right.

I can't wait to watch the remaining hour and a half of that first episode. Yeah, yeah, just tuck in, you know, get excited. It's cheaper than me signing back up for Wow. That's true. This is how you got me the first time with Wow is I started listening to the instance before I even had a World Warcraft. I'd only played StarCraft up to that point. And so, oh, Warcraft, all right, it's a lot like StarCraft. What? You just walk around and do stuff.

You don't have to, like, specifically beat the person at the other corner of the giant square you're occupying with him. That's funny. So you didn't play, like, orcs and humans, Warcraft 2, all that stuff? Wow. No. First Blizzard game was StarCraft. And it was, thanks to Tina's pen pal, Jenny, in Australia's husband, Dean, who, we went down there for a vacation 2001 yeah it was actually October 2001 it was a

a month after the 9-11 attacks we flew to Australia and um Tina and Jenny went off and we're doing something in town and Dean's like I have you have a played stalcraft I'm like oh no I never and they don't know anything about that what's that he's like ah well tuck in and he set up a computer for me and set up a computer for him on the same land and we played StarCraft against each other and he's like, hey, you want to collect these resources and I'd do that whole thing. What's weird is that the game was only three years old at that point. That's nothing.

Like StarCraft. Yeah, this is nothing in the largest scheme of things. It feels like forever, but yeah, 9-11, right around 9-11 would have been three years after StarCraft, three years after StarCraft, Ocarina of Time, and Half-Life, we're all 98 releases. what a year that was what a year and so that it's like you know

Tina and everybody are like hey let's go to Bondi Beach let's get Darling Harbor nah you guys you guys go on ahead I'm gonna play some StarCraft

this is I'm hooked I'm in yeah I get it dude that game not true not true

we got out there and did all that stuff that game Starcraft held me for a very long time and StarCraft too I like that game a lot yeah

that is it for today oh a quick reminder we got a bunch of shows coming up too so not only is the instance out there, but Coverville this afternoon. Do you say noon? Costello.

Yeah, noon. Noon. All right, so watch for that. 90 minutes from now. Oh, you got to get your seats while they're hot. I know, I've got to start picking some songs. No, and you're going to hear stuff today. Covers of, I don't have any covers by all this,

even though he's done quite a few and quite a few good ones. Covers by Everything But the Girl. Allison Moyet from Yaz, Fiona Apple, the Rubinoos, and a band that you know better by a song called You Sexy Thing from the 70s, a disco song, Dern, Dern, Dern, Dern. Yep. Love that one.

They do, if you can believe it, an Elvis Costello cover, and you'd never know. You'd never think that this band would ever do an Elvis Costello cover. Weird. All right, watch for that. That's coming up. Also, Core Tonight, for, sorry, 5 p.m. Mountain Time is when we record that show. So if you want to find out what's going on at gamescom and whether that was worth your time or not, check it out.

A couple of announcements, kind of overall, though, a little bit weak, if I'm honest. Really? I think we're in a rebuilding year for some of this stuff. I mean, there's still big games coming out, but that's just kind of a weird time. Everyone's getting laid off. It's weird. Anyway, couch party tomorrow. We're doing new mutants.

And because it's only 90 minutes, I think we're just going to do the whole damn thing. Do the whole damn movie. I'm going to make some popcorn and eat. while we play the damn thing. That's right. 10 a.m. Mountain Time. That'll be for Discord folks

who are part of our Patreon and you know how to get there and do it. Monica will join us. It'll be a great time. So check that out. Play Retro tomorrow. Film Sack this weekend. Episode 666 of Play Retro of,

excuse me, of Film Sacks. Daughters of Satan. Can't wait. Tom Selleck's first movie. Is that what he said? Yep. And his mustache's first movie. Both of those guys first time.

Oh, did he? I mean, because remember, we saw that movie with Sam Elliot, and he had a completely clean-shaven face. Oh, yeah, the Frog Tanner or whatever was. Mustache is in it. That's a good question. I've not seen any screenshots, so maybe he doesn't.

Maybe he shaved it. Spoiler alert, I don't know. You want to see their OG Blue Bloods fighting the Daughters of Satan. This is your chance. That's Film Sack this weekend. Finally. Pretty excited. Anyway, that's going to do it for us.

Everything else is at frogpants.com slash TMS. Hey, Brian, let's play a song. Hey, Scott, let's do it. Um, you know, when, when Barry writes in and makes a request, I have to honor it. It is my contractual obligation to, uh, Mr. Folk, and Bobby Ann as well, if either of them do, then sorry, I've got to drop everything. Uh, fortunately, nobody else fought for this day. So, whew.

Um, uh, Barry writes, hi, Scott and Brian. I'm so grateful for you to, all that you two do to create this amazing community. There are so many wonderful people I've met at TMS get togethers throughout the years. that make my life so much brighter. I leave it to the covermaster to pick something that would be appropriate for an amazing young woman who is turning 24. She just got her master's degree in toxicology

and will be applying to veterinary school this fall. Damn, that is so cool. Man, I got a 24-year-old. He doesn't have all this. Just kidding, it's fine. You can do whatever. So happy birthday, Wren, congratulations. And let's just say it right now.

only veterinary schools in the great state of Colorado can be applied for because I don't want Barry and Bobian visiting any other states to go see Wren I want them come in here Or do Salt Lake City

I'd be fine with that even though Brian won't come here No No I rescind that It's not allowed Strike that from the record Your Honor

That's cool though Maybe because maybe then they have to fly through Denver to get there and they'll just do an extended stay on their way to get to Salt Lake. Oh, yeah. If we can get both, we get two for one, that'd be amazing. But wherever she goes, she's going to do great. What a brilliant, brilliant kid.

She's 24, but, you know. I know. No, she and she's, she's great. Such a amazing. Yeah. All right. So toxicology kind of didn't have a choice on this one, right? You know, he said, whatever you want to play.

But I saw the word toxicology. And I immediately said, toxicology, toxic. got to do Britney Spears cover for this one. Fortunately, I have just the cover. We talked about girl groups yesterday, and one of the ones that I'm bummed didn't get to mention is a surf rock group called The Surfer Jets. And this is another one that the music is great.

The video is even better, because it's like a family band, so it's like sisters, and maybe even a mom on drums, if I remember correctly, all playing together. and their first video is in their living room, and I think it might even be this song. But look for the Surfer Jets on YouTube.

So it's basically Hansen. That's what you're saying. Just kidding. It's basically Hansen. Yeah. This is their cover of Toxic. They released in 2018, and I've been a fan ever since.

Here are the Surfer Jets. You know, I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be.

I'm not I'm going to be I'm going to I'm going to I'm a bit of I'm and

I'm I'm I'm but I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be able to be. You know, I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be.

I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be. You're going to be able to be. This show is part of the Frog Pants Network. Yes, get more at frogpant.com.
