Your mom and dad are getting a divorce because you're such a jerk. No, I'm not. I'm supposed to be Miss Mary Sunshine. Well, the hell with that. The morning stream, they wouldn't give us any more fish. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It is August.

It is the 28th. It is Wednesday. And it is the year 2024. Welcome to the show. I'm Scott, and that's Brian. Hi, Brian. Hello. Boy, we are getting so close to the end of this damn month. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. And I think this is kind of the week where if you hadn't already gone back, you're back in school now, everybody. Right, right.

Hope you're having fun sitting in class right now, listening to some teacher drone on about some bullshit. Well, if they're in there right now, there must be listening to us instead of their teachers. So good on you. Well done, kids. Yeah, I hope you're all listening live. and although I don't know how you'd see how would you do it well you can do it on YouTube sure you can listen live in class tell that teacher to shut up and sit down she didn't know nothing rise up and eat your pudding you don't need your meat um all right hey we're here everybody it's good to see you all we got some stuff to do today including recommendals we got some tom tech time we got all kinds of fun stuff lined up we begin today with a it's more like uh I don't know committing to the bit we'll call it sticking to the gig Sticking to the gig. Okay. This is a text from our mailman Joe.

He is mailman on Patreon. So, Scott, this is for TMS. In response to whether we work during bad weather at the post office, most times, yes. I've worked during hurricanes, and our office literally had fish swimming inside. Love the show. Wow. Okay. That's pretty cool, right?

Yeah, that's amazing, actually. Yeah, because I was thinking there's, and he kind of confirms it just by saying most times yes so there is a limit there is a there is a thing that goes beyond the uh nor rain nor sleet nor hail nor darkest night shall stay these carriers from their appointed rounds um there's some limit yeah there has to be right but you'd think a hurricane might be the limit i would think a hurricane i would think fish swimming uh in in a flooded male post office would be the uh would be the limit but good for him that must have been wild that day just imagine fish in your fish in the post office that's crazy yeah yeah nobody should have to do with fish

and it wasn't the kind of fish you'd want to eat no well maybe if you're desperate you could probably grab one maybe all right sure do what you got to do when's the last time you're not going to be oh they're not going to be cod or salmon they're going to be uh trash fish of some kinds trash fish carp or something yeah carp we used to spit in carp when they were uh prominent when i was younger like uh what was the oh yeah we'd go to lagoon we go to lagoon they'd have like a little fake river thing that was part of this old west town attraction thing it's basically lagoon's basically you know six flags junior and um there is the they had carp all up and down that little fake river and so as teenagers or young you know junior high kids the thing to do would lean over the bar

and spit into the river and the carp would eat it right because they they think you're throwing food in. They don't know. They don't know. Carp or stupid. They see other people coming over and throwing stuff in so anybody that walks over to the side of the river and yeah. Yeah. And so I'm convinced that the reason you never see anyone serve carp anywhere is partially because we know they've been spit on and they're happy to eat it. They've been braised on spit, so don't eat the carp. It's disgusting. Oh, yeah. Maybe I didn't need that for my morning. I do want to know what is limit is. So if the power's down, it seems like you wouldn't be able to sort or do any of the back end stuff that you need to get mail out back in the day in the late 1800s early 1900s

it wasn't a thing so you would I'm sure they've got backup generators for lights to do manual sorting if the if the automatic sorters are down I don't know I assume so I don't know how that works but anyway hey Joe thanks for the update and the info thank you for uh thank you for delivering uh really what's just turned into um the bills for the companies that don't send them to my email and advertisements. Yeah, I don't think I get much else in the mail now. I get Christmas cards, I guess.

That's it. Sure, sure. That's fun. That's a nice tradition. I like, yeah, I don't want those digitally. No. I did get some, like, Aunt Barb and Uncle George both sent me digital, they're probably Blue Mountain

or one of these companies that do digital cards. And one of them was Martin Short doing like a happy birthday song, kind of like, you know, His whole, like, over-the-top deal. His live on Broadway, Martin Short Voice. Pretty much, exactly. And, you know, they use all sorts of tricks and AI and stuff to, so that he says your name into the Martin's short voice.

And then the signs up that he's dancing in front of, say, my name on it and stuff. And he integrates it into the song and things like that. And I really wanted to get into the nuts and bolts of how this works. And if your name is, like, let's see, you've got, what's a, what's a, can you think of like a five or six syllable name? Oh, gosh. Like, Brian is a quick one, right? So, like, how about Soledad O'Brien? How about that?

I imagine, I imagine, you know, you don't put in both first and last name, but Soledadad O'Brien is a good. Let's say, uh, oh, Zimandias. Oh, there you go. Sure. Oh, there you know, sure. I wonder how that, if that breaks the system. And so, you know, Martin Short kind of freezes for a second. And we want to wish a happy birthday to Ozzy Bandy's.

That's great. Is that an officially licensed thing? Or are somebody stealing Martin shorts? Oh, no. It's definitely, it's got to be officially licensed. There's no way this thing. I can actually probably even forward it to you if you want to see it. Yeah, I want to hear it.

If you've got it, that's awesome. I've got it right here. Scott, I can. It'll let me play it, I guess, without being logged into something or whatever. Yeah, yeah, you don't need to. You'll just basically follow a link. Um, I just got to find it. Yeah, yeah.

From, from Burb. I'll just go to my search thing. Mm-hmm. Come on, come on. There we go, Barb. Yeah. Barb. Yeah.

Here we go. Here we go. It's back. It's right here. Okay. Okay. All my gosh. It's happening.

All right. Help. It's happening. I can feel it. Uh, copy. I can feel it coming in the air tonight. Here you go. This is the, you should see it now in your discord.

Uh, it's, it's. I see nothing in Discord. Oh, you put it in the wrong one. Hold on. I did. Oh, I put it in the Recommendals. Not a problem. Here we go. Okay. That's where I also put the link to Kraft, apparently, too. Hello. So let's see if this works.

Here you go, chat. Let's see if we can play it. Oh, it's muted. At first I was afraid. I felt so enthrifted. When I heard it was your birthday and I had no. gift but then genius struck i grabbed a pen it didn't take me long to make a check out to my lyricist to write this heartfelt song i think is fine ice cream's great but your 55th birthday calls from

Marty on a plate Was gonna put your name in light So big it filled with the marquee But I'm afraid it's in my contract That's how feeling goes to me Looks great right They probably showed my name in the background They did

Does he say it? Does he ever get her in the He just said I just talked over it Yeah Oh okay I didn't hear very well So he so that's interesting What a weird little gig

It is a weird little gig And it's it's a little Barton short hate in the in the chat room some non-fans of only murders in the building but like you know

when you've got a you know a shot like this right let me copy and put that in the in the correct location this time and your name is Ozymandius yeah

no way is it like super tiny Ozymandias let's see I'm gonna change oh yeah I like I like that

I mean whatever this is fine this is fine I mean yeah it's not meant to be someone in the chat or Bramble Bright says you're probably gonna get dinged for that

I paused it for the final YouTube post so I'm not worried about it but yeah that song that song is probably enough to for some robot I mean I doubt it

you know I mean it's not really I will survive by Glory Garner it's it doesn't matter i get stuff for i've had i've had a take down once when you or someone i was with i don't remember what co-host it was but somebody saying something and i got dinged for it really just like without a without any accompaniment no it was enough to even even that and i probably could have thought it i didn't bother because i was just like whatever yeah let's see if if i go

do do do do do do do at least and now enough like susan vega to to to pull that off. Yeah. More like Suzanne Vegas. Suzanne. Suzanne vague. Yeah, very vague. That was a very vague, Suzanne Vegas. Yeah. Also, got a thing about Second and Charles. This is Colby from Atlanta. He says, hello, Scott, Brian, and Brian.

I don't know why, I guess the other Brian was here when we talked about it. We were talking about, yeah, we were talking about it was before the Monday, last Monday's show, a week ago Monday's show when I was talking about the lactose thing that people thought. was a shooting. Oh, right. Oh, yeah, the mall lactosing. Anyway, the message, and this is a message in regards to TMS 2691. You guys were talking

about Second and Charles, and Dunaway mentioned that Second and Charles looked like a books a million. I wanted to let you guys know he is on to something there. Bam and Second and Charles, bam meaning books a million, are owned by the same parent company. And in fact, one of the purposes of Second and Charles is to sell overstock merchandise, from books a million at a discount love the show though colby i didn't know that i didn't know that either that's great so if it doesn't sell on books a million look for it uh in a couple in a couple weeks at your local second and charles it's like tj max and uh home goods right they're owned by the same parent company and they share a lot of stuff it's for overstock yeah yeah one of them the

home goods that we go to is fun like that's where i got this skull every once while something will show up and i'm like that's badass and it cost me like five bucks yeah um but my um but my Mostly that's a store for my wife, and I don't like being in there because it's just too many houseware things and candles and, you know. It gives me anxiety. It's so, it's always in such disarray. Yeah. I can't do home goods. Actually, I can't do either of them, TGMX or Home Goods.

I always feel like their stuff is strewn all over the place. That's why I don't go into a dollar general. Yeah, same thing. I hear that's what those places look like inside. Yeah, they're too much. They're like packed with crap. and it's it's a it's an assault on your senses there used to be there used to be a craft place here it's a it was just local and it's gone now but it used to be called zims um and i would go in there

with kim and it was a lot of like styrofoam heads and like letters made out of cardboard and glitter and this sort of thing and i used to just feel so claustrophobic in there partly because nothing in there was for me yeah yeah and i just was like i cannot get out of here fast enough. I freaking hate this store. And I get a little bit of that in Home Goods. But occasionally I'll be walking through Home Goods and it'll be like, oh, Madagascar-branded corn nuts. Those are weird. Let's try those. And then I'll find a skull for five bucks, you know, and I'm happy. But she loves it. Loves it. Similar, there's a, there's a store near me called Black and Red, R-E-A-D. And it is, it's where I usually go for record store day. They've got great, like a massive selection of vinyl and they also

have CDs and tapes and rarities, a big wall full of like rare albums and box sets and things like that. Sure. And one side of their store is the record side or the music side, and it's got all this stuff on it. And they've got, like, it's like they got a second store that they absorb the store next door to them and then cut holes to make it so you could go from one to the other, that side of the sort of thing.

Sure. And that side is books and board games and things like that. But that side feels like you're visiting somebody's house, and the part they want you to hang out in that's clean is the music side. And the part of the house where they put all the stuff to clean the clean part of the house that's all hordery is in the other side. The book side feels like where everybody put the things that they wanted to clean the house but didn't want to get rid of. Just shove it in that side. It's all good. Yeah.

Stacks dusty books. We all have a room like that or a part of a room. room like that. We have one that we were sure was going to be Kim's like craft room. It was going to have a sewing machine and have all these shelves and stuff. But instead it's like there's a mattress in there and freaking out. Yeah. The second

the other half of the basement, the last third of the basement is like that. It's like all my, every box that I need for packing and shipping Etsy crap or whatever is over there. Tina's old stained glass stuff is over there. You know, I think she was really

into for a while and not so much now. Yeah. Yeah, that's the side of the house that we really need to go through and just say, firebom it. Yep, it's the hoarder side. That's the half AMC can come film if they want. They can get in there and get that done. There you go. That'll be here. Sure. Well, there you go.

Second Charles and Books a Million turns out, best friends. Best friends. Let's add another best friend. Cousins, if you will. That's even better. I like that. Kissing cousins. Well, no way. We've gone too far. Kissing cousins. Brian Dunaway is joining us soon.

Speaking of a kissing cousin, he'll be here. And we're going to take our fourth caller. Oh, actually, we're not. You know what? I forgot. I committed to somebody who's tried forever, and they're only going to be home today, so I'm going to let them in.

I'm giving them access. Sorry, everybody. That's happening, with or without you. I'm fine with that. You're okay with it? I'll just say, as the game show Maven for Tad Pooley Feud. I'm fine with that. All right, good.

Before you do anything else, let's welcome Brian Dunaway to the program. Hello, Dunaway. What are you doing? Oh, hi, Scott, and Brian. Hey, man, just hanging out been, uh, you do a little work on a Wednesday. You know what it is? Yeah, I know what it is. You've got to be productive.

If not, uh, then they, uh, you know, they kick you out of the house. Yeah, my understanding is you're like, uh, you're a crucial cog in the machine there where you work, though. You're, you're an important deal. Oh, yeah. I am the machine. What are you talking about? Yeah. I'm the, I'm the whole thing.

Just kidding. Show us your co-skinned. Just kidding. Co-workers. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like without a done-away there, they're screwed in the whole city of wherever you are is screwed, you know? I've told them many times.

Look, you can totally replace me, but not for the price that I'm doing it for. Good luck. That's right. Yeah. You want to pay more fine, but if you want to keep it real. I may be replaceable, but I'm cheap. That's right. That's right.

We have on the line with us, Chiros, or Chiros. I'm not sure how to say it now that I think about it. Chiros, Chiros, Chiros, Chiros, you're here. How are you? How are you? What's going on? It's quite a right. I make up names, and it was only this week that I got Tom to say my other part of this directly, because I made up many years ago a name for Saira Chiros. Oh. It's not based on anything other than the fact that I was writing a book at the time.

Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that at all. A little self-promotion. You should pronounce Chiros. Chiros. So it's not Chiros, then it's Chiros. But honestly, if it makes it easier, my name is Preston. All right, Preston.

What if it was Honeynut Chirose? Mm-hmm. That chokes been used before. Yeah, has it? I don't know any Preston. So I'm going to call your Preston. That's, yeah, I don't know any. We now know two tadpole Preston, at least that we know of.

We got BioCow and we have this Preston. Yeah, there are only two. Preston? Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. He's biologically a cow, but he goes by Preston. All right. Anyway, it's good to have you here. We're going to play a game. And Brian here, that is to say, the Ibit, Brian, is going to explain it and tell you what you might win today if you perform well. Brian, take it away. That's right. Okay, the I bit, Brian, it says, it's time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. And the Johnson Scott and the Dunaway Brian will have to predict the answers that they gave us. It's their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. The Chiros Preston, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you'll get a prize package. That includes Risk of Rain 2 and Knights of Honor to Sovereign.

A couple sequels. Yeah, Risk of Rain 2 in particular, excellent game. It's so good. Delicious game. Yeah, one of the best. The other one I've not played, but I'm sure it's also good. I'm sure. I'm one of those rare Mac gamers, so I'll probably donate these back to the test.

I think that's on it's on the Mac. risk of ring is it i don't know we'll find out and if it's and if it's not on the mac then i'll work with you to get you a couple games that are on the mac unfortunately we don't have yeah i mean we got pac man and peggle and snake i believe

is there a snake code so he's right risk of rain too not on mac uh knights of honor uh let's see i'll just do a quick search on this because yeah knights of dis honor if you had a fourth person scott you can donate it to that person because I'm playing too much World of Warcraft to be. Okay, that's a good point. Let's get you on the teat.

So am I. I'm definitely on the teat. I haven't been on the teat this hard since like, oh, wait. I am a hardcore teat. Well, the Torin, thanks you. Yeah, the Torin that's laying in that freaking cavern still dead. Can you milk my Torin, Wisconsin? Can you milk my toron?

Yes, I can. All right. Well, that's fantastic. We'll figure out a way regardless. We'll give away to somebody. Yeah, cool. Let's get in here and see what we. we get. I'm excited. All right. All right. Well, we asked 522 tadpoolers, the following question.

Please put your hands on your buzzers and tell me this. Name a comedian that does great impressions. Scott. Dana Carvey. It's the first one that came to my mind. Show me 80s stalwart. Dana Carvey. Just kidding. Of course, he's number one. Wow. He is who I thought of immediately for this one. So, good choice right there. No answers will be in it. So you automatically get control of the board and you get Chiros as a partner.

All right, Chiros. Let's do this. Since we're both on the T. I'm just happy to have a category that I have some knowledge about. Oh, good. That makes me happy to hear. Let's hear your first reaction then. Who would you add to this list?

Robin Williams. Robin Williams. Let's do it. I was going to say, I love Robin Williams still. Yes. A man of a thousand voices of that guy. Still love him. Yeah.

Yeah. She likes World of Warcraft too. They sure did. Yeah, they have a shrine to them in Warlords of Draynor. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. I can't argue with that. Yeah, and they did, uh, yeah, that's right. Pretty great.

Her. Named his child out after a game. I mean, World of Warcraft. Er, all right. I'm glad to get my. Better get my long sword. Are you trying to get on this board, Ibitt? Are you trying to get on this board, Ibitt?

Show me, Robin Williams. number four very good okay well that's interesting wonder how those two others are on there two and three um yeah all right one of the best impersonators ever is a little less known though it's that dude from um um from mad tv not will saso but the it was later years can't they give his name though we were just talking about this past week right now i'm missing about sassor oh were we talking about sassau i can't remember this guy i cannot remember his freaking name he's so

dead on and he does hundreds of them. Well, that's all we need. Just give him the points. He does this. He does everybody in on the Avengers. He does every Avengers voice and it's crazy. His Robert Downey Jr. will put you in the grave. It's amazing. Really? Oh, that's amazing. I can't think of his name. Only had a name. Yeah, if only had a name. So instead, let's use somebody like, um, oh, gosh,

dang it. Uh, who, S&L, shit. Barry, Bill Hader. Bill Hader. Oh, nice. Bill Hater's a great call. I left him. All right. Show me Bill Hader. Does an amazing Vincent Price, among

other things. Yeah, Bill Hater, number six on the board. Scott coming in hot with 11 points already. Zero. Brian even hasn't answered a question yet, poor guy. Well, I've answered some questions in the chat room. Hi, chat room. How you doing? How are you doing? I'm there. Remember the name.

but this is one I hear on when I I randomize comedy occasionally yeah I'm probably pronouncing this wrong Frank Kelly oh that's him that's the guy I'm thinking of that's what was always trying to that's him thank you for remembering it he is amazing he does everyone he'll he I'll bet he could talk to you for two seconds and then he could do you for the rest of his life he's insane he can do you he's so good I follow him on tech talk and he's always like just jumping but he's the one that does that amazing madden impression Russian. He's fantastic at Madden and Kevin James. I liked him better on Vine. Yeah. Had a, um, had a, had a, had a thing in Vegas residency for a while. I can't remember where it was,

but you could go see a Frank Caliando show. And, uh, the Caliando, I think, was it? Sounds like, Caliando sounds like a, like a casino, doesn't it? The Caliando. Would you have, would you have rather him? Lose the Slots of the Caliando. Would you have brother Frank Calliando? This is a conversation, uh, leading over from Filmsack. Frank Caliando would be a best. better John Madden than Nicholas Cage? Is that what you're thinking? Without a doubt. I think so.

In fact, he's aged to the point where he'd be, he kind of looks like a young Madden. He should, they should hire him. This Cage thing, that doesn't make sense to me. I'm still confused by us. You don't need AI when you have this guy.

That's right. No AI when you got this guy. He's a living deep fake. All right, show me Frank Calliando. Oh, number two. Damn. Yeah. Okay.

I forgot we hadn't already pulled the full trick on that one. I was like, all right, hurry up and finish talking about him so I can flip the board. So what's the scores currently? What are taking up? Currently is 13 for Scott and said Chiros and zero for Bri-Bri. Okay. Okay. Be done.

Chirot, you got any other hot names popping? Poppin? Popping, fresh, dope. I mean, I'm a little worried about going too far in the past because there's some people. who are, you know, amazing. You're killing me. Just do whatever. They're like your moms. Give me a chance.

What'd you say, Kevin Pollock? Hey, Dunaway, shut up for a sec. Probably not someone that you can think. Like, they think of a stand-up medium, but I've watched it to stand-up and he does great. He got really quiet. Did you get quiet all of a sudden, uh, Chiros? Yeah, I'll turn you up. Did you step away from your mic to breathe?

No. Okay, you're a little better now. I'm actually, I'm actually, I'm like, that's weird. You might have some weird game thing going on. But I heard you. Let's get Kevin Pollock in there. She is fantastic. And, man, everybody does a Christopher Wacken.

Kevin Pollock nails it. Like, you can close your eyes and think you're listening to the actual Christopher Wachkin. Show me Kevin Pollack. Yeah. Yeah. His captain. I believe he got invited to meet with Kevin, or Christopher Wacken, to when Wachan was getting his star. Oh, no way.

Oh, really? That's cool. If I recall. He does an incredible Shatner. Well, more like Captain Kirk, but his Kirk is unbelievable. oh my gosh it's so good it's really really good yeah um boy he was low on that list of show for a while like it like a regular show and it was with the his sidekick was the uh the freaks and geeks kid the um not not martin star and not the main kid but the the uh shorter kid with the dark hair

looked italian right um yeah yeah sam levine thank you kelly won through sam levine it was like a podcast Kevin was Kevin yeah it was a video podcast uh I don't think they're doing that vlog as the kids are no not not anymore maybe they maybe they hmm I know he's on he got stars on a lot of stuff so he does and he was a regular on that and this is mazel for a while and uh yeah yeah he's great for a lot of stuff he's great um yeah Kevin pollock's chat show that's what it was that's what it was it was great oh my god he had the greatest interview with um titus welliver from Bosch and lost and that was

that one that one I was just riveted to the whole time I couldn't I couldn't listen to it while I was work or watch it while I was doing other things I had to just pay full attention to it nice um all right we're killing done away here and it feels good so let's keep going five answers left on the board zero points still for Brian

21 points for Scott I don't know if he's been considered this since he's been in late night for a long time but Jimmy Fallon used to be really good at impressions No, yeah. Yeah. His Beegis. Yeah.

His Begis. His Gives. His, uh, his deal young. His great. He does it a, doesn't you a Bruce Springsteen or something, I think? Yeah, yeah, he does a lot of musical stuff. A lot of music. Yeah.

Yeah, we'll get, we'll give it a shot. Let's see how he, how he lands here. Okay. Show me. Jimmy the Fallon. Ah, darn it. Number 12. Almost on the board or almost the free, uh, the free, uh, yes, but not quite.

Uh, but if I find. gives Brian Dunaway a chance to play. Yeah, we don't want to wipe the board and let that. Yeah, yeah. I appreciate that. I've chatted with Dunaway a number of times on Saturdays. That's right. It's all good. Yeah, it's all good.

It's okay if you kill me. It's okay. I just want you to get some games and then give them away to somebody. You need a minimum of three answers, by the way, Brian, to even have a chance at this. Oh, then fine. I guess I'll go with, oh, Jesus. You people haven't heard this name. In decades, but whenever I think about this kind of stuff, we start to my night, you know, watch this stuff late night.

Rich Little was the master impressionist when we were growing up. Yeah, this is the one. Johnny Carson. Yeah, this is the one that I was think of like, oh, this is my parents impersonator. Yeah, yeah. He was really good. Yeah, no, he's amazing. He's very good.

All right. Show me Rich Little. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, 44 of you need to go schedule your colonoscopy. you haven't yet so number three answer on the board that's great

Rich Little's still still around or did he pass I don't remember I think he's still around he was he had a I think he had a Branson Missouri show or something for a while

I still are with us 85 years old still rocking yeah it's basically my mom's age but but he still only does Nixon and Howard Cosell and yeah there was like

five that he did right and that's it that was kind of the limit with that dude he didn't do a ton although he did an amazing carson he would come on carson and do cars cars cars cars was unbelievable it was amazing yeah um all right let's see oh right that done away that's still your turn because you won that one it's still my turn it's still my turn i'll tell you who's the best in impersonator that i heard in a really long time on s and i miss him uh being on there uh j fairo he is fantastic he would kill it his his denzil washington Because he has the mannerisms, he has the voice, the mannerisms, everything.

Okay, okay, well, we're going to do all right. Okay, we're going to do this. He's currently hosting a game show called The Quiz With Balls, where... I did not know that. It's kind of funny. It's very similar to our half-asses, actually, where you're given six answers and a certain number of them are incorrect answers. So you have to stand on the edge of a swimming pool with giant inflated balls,

rolling at you and one for each one for each answer like there's six six of these balls that roll at you and um at the very last second bars will shoot up and protect you if you're standing in front of a correct answer so the so when did we start still in japanese game show culture it is it is very much like that um most extreme elimination or whatever that show was called very similar like wipe out did it yeah we just love seeing people get uh batted around by uh big inflatable things. Anyway, he, on there, he gets to do his Denzel every once in a while and

stuff like that. Free Ray Troves says the rules are even more confusing. Kind of true. All right. Show me. Jay Farrow. Very good. Number nine on the list. Oh, that's a nice one. On the board.

Making a little bit of a rally here, 12 points. Scott and Chiros is 21. Three answers left on the board. five, seven, and ten. Ten will put you in the lead that you'd need five and seven to take the lead.

Man, all I can do is think all I can do is think of comedians right now who are just, you know, not great impressionists, but do really good, occasionally great impressions. And I can't stop seeing Jim Carrey's stupid rubbery face. But I'm like, he didn't really do any

he did some. You know, like celebrity impressions. He did a forget incredible Andy Kaufman. Oh, this is true. All right, give me Jim. He made a movie about it. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Man of the movie? Not that I'm trying to help you or anything. All right. All right. Show me Jim Carrey. No, look at that.

Number seven. Nice. 19. Brian, just two points behind Scott. Two answers left on the board. Five, five strikes left, though. I mean, you guys will run the board if nothing else. I think I think I'm going to have to go back to S&L some more.

And I think that I would, if it would be mad at me if I didn't say Billy Crystal just while we're talking about comedians. I would be mad at you if he didn't say Billy Crystal. I think Billy Crystal did a great Sammy Davis Jr. He did a great Sammy Davis Jr. Trying to think of who else Billy did that was not like an original Billy Crystal creation. Right. Yeah, I can't think of anything. Now you're making me feel bad about my answer.

Oh, Muhammad Ali. He did Muhammad Ali. And he's friends, or he was friends with Muhammad Ali. and if you've never seen Billy Crystal's, boy, he really did a lot of stuff in blackface now. I think about it. If you've ever seen Billy Crystal's Muhammad Ali, it is, again, it's everything.

It's not just the voice, but it's the mannerisms and the looks and that sort of thing. All right, show me Billy Crystal. No. Not even 11, eh? Strike number one, not even 11. I've got one now. Oh, do you?

Okay, that's good. Can I take that one back? No. No, no. back over to Chiros and Scott. Two answers left on the board. What do you think, Chiros? Kind of like Jamie.

I can't think of a lot of stand-up anymore. I like Jamie Fox a lot. The Tadpool is the Tadful, so who knows what way they get. Yeah, that's true. I like Jamie Fox a lot, and I think that he's underrated as an impressionist, but partly it's just because his Trump is so good, but I don't know what else he does. Todd Hiddleston is surprisingly good in impressions, too.

He is. Yeah. You know, he's not a comedian, so I don't know if he would have been out of. here. The tadful did mention the Keenan Thompson. I can't remember his last name. Thompson.

Thompson. Yeah. I love Keen Thompson. That might be a good idea. The only other one I'm thinking of is, I can't remember her name, but she doesn't do impressions as much as really distinct voices. Maria something. Oh.

I know who you mean. I know who you mean. Maria Bamford's who you're thinking. could have. Oh, nice. Yeah, her impressions are amazing, but she's doing like, she's definitely doing comedic impressions of, but they're more like impressions of stereotypes, not individuals, but that might be enough to get on the list. I think we try it. Let's go Maria Banford. Banford. Let's get a lady on here for hell's sakes. Look at this sausage party. All right. Show me Maria Bamford. Surprisingly no. And surprisingly, not even on the list. And she, she is good enough to be like,

there are some people in here that should not be on the list and uh and maria banford should be in their place in any of their places yeah i mean part what i'd love about her is her obscurity so maybe it's fine maybe that's yeah maybe that's good yeah she's awesome well i'm torn now i'm torn between tina fay and her sarah palin or maya rudolph and her kamala i'm saying that right yeah you got a right you're one of the few people who gets her right nice job Maya Randolph I think that's the way to go Another S&L alum

I mean her Kamala is great But don't forget her Oprah's really good She does She does quite a few great impersonations All right show me my Rudolph Poop No Also surprising that she's not on here

Not 11 or nothing Fine Not 11 and not even In the list surprisingly Yeah, very surprising. Well, so someone, Ted Poole mentioned it, and we should have thought of it at the time because we were talking about Jim Carrey, but Andy Kaufman. Oh, Andy Kaufman himself. Good point. Oh, nice.

He did tons of impressions. He did Elvis. He did other stuff. Other things that were funny, hilarious. Yeah, I might be out of them. I think you might be out of it. The only one I ever remember seeing him do was Elvis, but he did a great Elvis. Uh, it's, so I, part of me's like, Will, Will Ferrell, Daryl Hamm and that kind of era, that might be a place to farm, but yeah, I want to go to Chorus's gut here. What do you, what do you want? What do you think? There's so many. It's just that's, that's a deep cut that I could see the tadpole pulling. Does Kristen Wigg do impressions? I can't remember what Kristen Wigg does. She definitely did a lot of NIST. Oh, yeah. I mean, I love her, but I can't think of impressions. in particular. And I also didn't watch a ton of those seasons.

So I, maybe I just missed a bunch. Yeah, needed to die. Should we go, well, let's go Kaufman. Let's do it. Okay. Show me Andy Kaufman. Oh! Another one that I don't even think was mentioned in the,

in the, by anybody, amazingly. Yeah. Damn it. All right. All right. So, that was your third strike. Brian, you've got 19 points to Scouts 21. Getting either of these answers would win you the game.

Get both of them and Chiros gets the games he doesn't even want anyway. Yeah. All right. All right. Here we go. Here we go then. I got it figured out. I got it figured out.

All right. Great big for you. Out. Okay. That's right. Dave Culear. Oh, Dave Coolear. He was Uncle Joey, right?

Uncle Joey. He was Uncle Joey. Star of, Star of Alas Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. I used to do the pie-pie thing. I actually liked his pie-pie. I didn't care much of other things he did. Did she ever confirm that, by the way? Did she ever say, yeah, he's the person?

Yeah. I think it was finally confirmed. Yes, for sure. It was confirmed for you ought to know, yeah. Man, that one. Yeah. That'll get you right in the gut. All right.

So you're going with Dave Coolier? Do it. Coolier. Deve Cooleier. Sure. All right. Show me. Dave Cooley.

strike game is over but that means chiros you have enough points to win and we'll figure out a way to give these prizes away to somebody else or oh that's right you don't want me even look through the list and find you a mac game we'll give them to somebody else we'll figure out a good yeah there's no like I said I've got another week and a half of being off to play World of Warcraft so nice hell you what all right so here's what I'm going to do um starting now if somebody puts in a guess and I'm going to start with um I'm put something in the chat room that says anybody who says a guess after I put in the word here, the first person to guess one of these last two answers will get these two games. It seems like a fair way to do this. So I'm typing here right now. And anybody after that, let's see what people say.

Jim Crimings, no, Hank Azarian, no, Seth McFarlane, no, Rebel Scum with Brian Ibitt. Let's see, is he on the board? That's good. How is this possible? Yes, number five on the board was Whoa, that is awesome. I absolutely should not be. 41 of you are just completely and totally delusional.

No, that's awesome. Congratulations for the suck-up, Rebel Scum. Yeah, well done. DM me on Discord, and I'll get you these game codes. But, yeah. I was even trying to help us. I was going to be surprised with you being on the list of it. Oh, yeah, I knew you were going to be on there because we talk about it so much.

It's like, you know. Yeah, but nobody knows. James Adams from same-sex Mary. Nobody knows Ken Kratz. Everyone knows that guy. A former president, dude, nobody knows that guy. Nobody's heard of him.

He doesn't exist. I know that guy. I'm from a completely different country. Yeah, that's right. Let's see what this last answer is on the board. A lot of people said this one, too. Gabriel Iglesias, a.k. Fluffy. He is really good.

America's Top Comic or whatever it is, last comic standing. I don't know who that is. I should know that. Oh, yeah. You should know him. You've probably seen Fluffy. You've probably seen him on your TikToks.

Have I? Number 11, you guys, Brian, you said you came up with another one that you forgot. Oh, was it, was it your, I was, I was going to, I was thinking, I never forgot who else is in there. I have so many comedians going through my head. I just figured out who Iglesias says. He's kind of the short. Fluffy. Fluffy guy.

There's got the, he wears a lot of really bright shirts. Yeah. Yes. Okay. A lot of Hawaiian shirts. Number 11, which would have gotten you an extra guess. Another S&L alumni, I guess if you like impersonations of buckwheat, James Brown. Eddie Murphy.

Yeah, there you go. Eddie Murphy is 11. Our first woman makes it appearance at 13. She should be much higher. Kate McKinnon from SNL does incredible impersonations. And just her range of characters are absolutely amazing. Phil Hartman, Will Saso, Pablo Francisco, Daryl Hammond. You guys talked about him a little bit.

Jamie Fox. Another one that should have been in the top 10, Melissa Villasignor from S&L. If you have not seen her music video for everything in Spanish is better or something like that. She just released it a couple days ago. And it is spectacular.

So go search for the Melissa Villisignor new song on YouTube. It's absolutely hilarious. Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Conan O'Brien, Dave Chappelle, Frank Gorshian, Fred Armisen, James Edon, Erdornian, Jim Gaffigan, Michael Winslow. Michael Winslow does impersonations of phones. He does. Everything that is not people.

Also, Gaff, what is Gaffigan? I don't know what Gaffigan impression. I can't think about it. I don't either. Well, he just does the little. He does an impression of the audience. He does an impression of the audience saying, what are we doing here? Yeah.

No, he does. He loves doing that. Does he? I mean, he sings the Hot Pocket song, but I don't know. That's a weird pick. Weird pick. Paul F. Tompkins, Ralph Garman, Rory Bremner, Ross Mark Wan. A great choice there.

If he was a comedian, be perfect because that dude can also do two-thirds of the Marvel universe impersonations. Seth Myers, Seth Myers does it great. If you haven't seen it, Seth Myers also does a great Trump. Shane Gillis, Andy Sandberg, Benedict Cumberbatch, Billy West. Shane Gillis. Oh, he does Trump, too. Everyone does Trump.

Everyone does Trump. I know. I started it. Bobcat Goldway. I had to save this one here. Brian, a bit, ha-ha, really rich little. I just had to save that one because it was so funny. Let's see.

Chloe Feynman, Claude Monet, Impressionist. I get it. Craig Gass. Dan Soder, David Allen Greer. Eddie Izard, Gilbert Godfried, Greg Davies, or Davis. Gilbert Godfrey did who? He did. He did an angry, angry taller man.

Yeah, I don't know. He doesn't do impressions. He screams like a guy that screams. More people do impressions of Gilbert Godfrey than Gilbert God. Impressions of being a human or something? What is the thing? Yeah, that's weird. That's a weird one.

Howie Mandel, again, I can't think of a single. I think people are just like. Oh, he did. Yeah, he was a comic, but he did what, Bobby's World. So it's not an impression, though. Now he also voiced Gizmo from Oh that's true Yeah

But it's not an impression More voice actors Yeah they're just voice actors Yeah Somebody else that should have gotten more than one person naming it Is James Austin Johnson Who is kind of the new breakout star of SNL And his impressions are spot on

Jeff Dunham Joe Flaherty Joey Gladstone John Stewart John Jagger making an appearance in the list He is good Jonathan Winters, Keenan Thompson, Kristen Whig, Larry the Cable Guy, Mark Hamill, Matt Friend, Mike Myers, Morgana, Robinson, Nick Mullen, Norm MacDonald, Peter K, Phil Coole, Bob Brydon, Sammy Davis, Jr., Seth MacFarlane, Sid Sears, Sauer, Sarin, Tegan, Tignataro, Tim Russ, Tina Faye, Tom Hidleston, did get a mention I hear, Wayne Brady, Will Sassow, and Zach Hadel. Norm McDonald's, Bert Reynolds, is one of my...

favorite impressions of all time it's fantastic it's a whole new it's a whole new person is what yeah yeah it's really good uh well all of these are fine names and uh people you should uh be entertained by especially our good pal chiros who gets one of these congratulations he's also going to send those games to somebody else via brian's little thing we did in the chat and so they won who was that dj stangle who won it no it was rebel scum rebel scum that's right who's already messaged me and Here are my games Here's his games Congratulations, rebel scum

Where am I games? Because you sucked up to me Really, you won these But I was on there, so there you go Yeah, nicely done Well, well done, Cheros is super fun having you on I hope the rest of your time off Is time well spent in the world of Azaroth

In the underground caverns of the war within I hope you're having a good time in there I expect it is And thank you very much for letting me pop on No worries man, we'll see you soon See you brother See your brother, see your brother Bye now

Bye now. Hey, Dunaway, we had to bump an episode this month because of schedules and power outage and all kinds of bullshit. So this Friday, we're finally going to come together. The spice must flow. We are going to talk about Dune 2, not the movie, but the video game for those out there wondering. And, you know, you might wonder, how was a game on a controller on a Genesis like that? Like, how did you even do it? Scott did it on the Genesis with that RTS.

real-time strategy game and I was poo-pooing him because I played it I played it on the PC and the DOS and oh man the Siggenesis version is so much more fun Yeah, it's weird So much easier and more fun and fast

Yeah I was doing it was hard Yeah you'd think it would be the opposite But something's funky there But there's a whole lot of history there And kind of what came after is a big deal So we're gonna get deep on all things Dune 2 And we're gonna make fun of the original Dune game Yeah

That one, I'm not going to pick if it was all right. Garbage. It's not all right. It's terrible, dude, terrible. But we'll talk about it more on Friday, 1.30 p.m. Mountain Time. That's over at frogpans.tv. Brian Dunaway, kiss our butts. I know you.

All righty. I sure will. Kiss my own butt. All right. We're going to take a break when we come back. Tom Merritt will be here and we'll get a little tech time in as well as recommendals with our friends, Nicole and Randy. That's coming up shortly.

Before that, though, a music break that Brian brought. That's right. This is our Indian in the middle segment here, and this is a fun one. The band called the Intemperate Sons, which we've played these guys before. They're very cool. This photo apparently was Free Sunglasses Day in the forest, and I think I'm just going to share this with Scott so he can enjoy this. But, oh, nope, looks like I can't just drag it right in there.

Never mind. I can probably copy and paste it. It's just a fun picture of four guys standing in the forest. everybody with sunglasses on. Oh, yeah. These are the intemperate suns. Now, here's what's really cool is we get not just an Indian in the middle, but a cover, because this is their cover of the Allison Chain Song Brother.

They do an incredible job with this. This was just a regular little single that they released. They have not put this on an album, but who knows? Maybe they will. They do have new stuff coming out very, very soon. They've worked with Orgy, Dead by Sunrise, and Julian Kay. and really, really like these guys. So it's no wonder we've played them a couple times.

Here are The Intemperate Sons and Brother. Frozen in the place I hide Not afraid to paint my sky With some who say I've lost my mind Brother try and hope to find You were always so far away I know that pain So don't you run away

Like you used to do Thank you. Roses in a vase of white Butteed by the thorns beside the leaves that fall Because my hand is pulling them hard as I can You were always so far far away I know that pain

And I won't run away Like I used to do rain So, I'm going to be able to be. pictures in that box at home yellow wing and green with moulds so i can barely see your face wonder how that color tastes You were always so far away I know the way So don't you run away

Like you used to do Oh Like you used to do Meet the Defender 1.10, a vehicle built for the modern explorer. With on-road presence and off-road prowess, it's naturally capable and expedition ready. A raised hood, sculpted grill, and durable exterior make it look tough because it is. Inside, five-seat comfort comes standard with an option for seven. Navigate any terrain confidently with 3D surround cameras and the intuitive PIVY Pro infotainment system. There's a defender for every journey, 90, 110, or 130, which boasts room for up to 8. Design your defender 110 at

land rover usa.com. That's land rover usa.com. Do you get diarrhea too? Yes, I get diarrhea. Kate stops my diarrhea. I bought my husband a round of golf and our love life has never been better. Who was that one more time? Sure, that's a band called The Intemperate Sons with a brand new single they just released. It's a cover of Allison Chains' brother, the Intemperate Sons. Nice. Is it S-O-N or S-U-N? S-O-N-S-O-N-S-O-N-S.

That makes sense that you would have. The Boys of Intemperance. Yep, they're the ones. Always watch out for them. All right, check this out, y'all. Congratulations. That's the wrong one. Where to go.

What do we win? Oh, we win to Tom. Well, Tom, I always congratulate Tom, because he's, you know, you know, great and everything, but, uh, you know how it goes. Uh, hey, look who it is. Tom Merritt, everybody. He is the DTNS Lord, Lord of all things, Daily Tech News show. And as a result, he's here on Wednesdays to talk about tech stories, things that are going on. It might interest you at home if you're into tech and that sort of thing. Tom Merritt, welcome back. Well, thank you for having me back, Brian and Scott. Yeah, it's good to have you. Always.

But I'm not a Lord. I, you know, as much as I support monarchies, I, I, I am not a monarch of my own. However, however, if you are wondering about the telegram CEO's arrest, I direct you to Monday, Tuesday, and later today's episodes. Hopefully I'm going to get Patrick Baja to do a little recording with us to explain the French aspect of that. Patrick is not only French, but actually in France right now. So if his children cooperate, we'll, have a little bit about that. But that's, you go to DTNS for that. That's boring, like, I don't know, weird stuff, telegram.

Do you even use it? TMS users, some of you do, some of you don't. I have better news for you, Scott and Brian. GameStop is opening retro stores. Oh, shit. Wait, not in the same stores, but like new fronts for retro stuff? How's that working? I don't know.

I think these are probably some locations that they might have been like, well, we We either shut them down or return them into GameStop Retro. But that's the name of them. GameStop Retro. There's a post on X that says, the classics are back. New Retro GameStops are now spawning near you. And it has a GameStop Retro logo, as well as the logos of all of the old game consoles you would expect. Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube, Game Boy, S&S, Genesis, PSVita is even on there.

Oh, wow. Dreamcast is on. Still, their logo probably still looks like Smashburger, but it's more faded colors for the retro. So it looks like it's the same font, but it's white. Yeah. Yeah. But it's got a back to the future style retro underneath it.

Gotcha. Yeah. I'll send this to you, Brian. You can see the, it's actually kind of great. I kind of like it. If you go to the store locator, not only can you find out if there's any stores near you, but you can also buy the stuff online.

So they're selling a Nintendo Wii U for 120 bucks. Wow. You can buy it, you can have it shipped, you can pick it up in the store, you can have same-day delivery if it's got, you know, if there's a store near you. I think this is kind of genius, Scott. Yeah, here's the reason I think this is smart. There's a couple things going on here. One, GameStop is trying to constantly figure out a way to survive during a increasingly difficult. digital market. And I'm honestly, it's surprising they're around as long as they've been around.

It's like crazy that a physical store location still, maybe not thrives, but just survives in what gaming is today. That being said, retro is at a bit of a crescendo right now. People are way, way into it. And this seems like a very smart way to take what probably is warehouses full of crap. They have accumulated over years and years and years because people trade in all the time there. And a lot of that stuff they reselled, but a lot of it they hang on to. So why not jump on that bandwagon? Actually, it's really smart of them to do this. And it kind of, it's, you know, it's a throwback to their heyday when they were, you know, king of the hill. I guess they're still king of the hill because they haven't gone away. But, you know, back in the day when

they were, the hill just got smaller. Yeah. But when they were, when they were sucking everybody up like electronics, boutique and babbages and software, et cetera, and stuff. And these things were all just appearing into the GameStop family. Um, they looked like they were on. And then, you know, recent years, not as much. So I think this is a really good idea for them. I think it's great. Dunaway, I'll love this. I can talk to him about this later.

It's a way to preserve the need for a storefront, right? Right. I think about it with bookstores, too. You know, Barnes & Noble in the U.S. anyway, is kind of the only new bookstore chain left standing. But I know lots of used bookstores near me that are still kicking, right? Because as much as we are able to. to read digitally, a lot of people still like to pick up a book. And picking up a book used is actually, you know, a cheaper. And you get a more interesting selection sometimes. I feel like that's what GameStop is doing, is saying instead of going full Barnes & Noble, which I think they're still doing, which is to say this is about game culture, you know, we're going to sell you Chotchkes and figurines and stuff like that, accessories, controllers, hardware. they are also saying we're going to be the used bookstore of games as well because like you said

we got a ton of this stuff you know and and what better way to try to sell it than to push it right up front and say you know hey retro is big i think you're absolutely right scott you nailed it they they're writing a trend i don't know if it's going to work or not but feels like the best bet they have for a lot of these locations yeah there's also a question of how long how long does that honeymoon last or how long is the interest there i think probably longer than people think So I do think it's a really good idea. It's also in response to smaller mom and pops popping up everywhere focused on retro. That's happening a lot.

And they don't want to, you know, they want to lose their corporate footh on somebody eat their lunch. Yeah. So my expectation is this will do good for them. And I actually think it will help their brand image with gamers a little bit. Funny enough, because most gamers just kind of scoff at GameStop. They don't usually buy their stuff there. They haven't been in one for years. we're too used to the amazons and the digital marketplaces of the world so why would we but i'm

going in if it's this i'll absolutely go in there yeah you know i want to get a i want to get a working i don't know gbasp or something there you go this seems like a great place to do it so i don't know this is smart and uh i think they'll probably do well i don't know if it means some more junk stock or you know any fun in that regard yeah good question yeah probably not uh but yeah you know you want a dual shock two wired controller for 15 bucks now you know where to go yeah i can get in there right away uh well i'll tell you what else i'll be getting into today like a retro game stop that's the daily tech news show today at 2 pm mountain time uh where tom will lord over us and tell us cool things about tech uh not true at all but tom what's coming up or anything else you want to mention that's

going on yeah yeah so to get back to the telegram stuff uh one of the reasons i didn't want to talk to about it as much here is there's so much we don't know. And I'm not sure how much it impacts the average TMS viewer's life right now because telegram's still operating fine. So it's a lot of, we know that there is some accusation that the CEO of the company is complicit in distributing child pornography, not that he did it, but that because he didn't crack down on it. Best best guesses are that France asked for him to hand over an identity of someone who was distributing it and they just didn't respond. And I don't know enough about French law or even, you know, French citizen expectations to make a guess at what that might be. If this was in the U.S.,

I could give you a whole range of things that are like, oh, it's probably this kind of law enforcement request and, you know, they're going to dispute it in court. I don't know how that works in France. So we're going to talk to Patrick about that, hopefully on DTNS. Scott's going to have a great segment about Procreate. I'm looking forward to that and them taking what I think is a more nuanced stance than people realize regarding AI. So we're going to get into that as well. And of course, I'm still trying to get to 100% unsinked.

So if you are someone who can convince your workplace to jump in and back the book, I can do some actual virtual visits to corporate workplaces and talk about technology, just to get us over that end line. So check that out at tom's new book.com. Fantastic. I think that's a great idea. And you should do it right away. Tom Merritt, he is Ace Detect on all the socials.

So go follow him there. He's a hoot on there, okay? He's a hoot. I'm having a good time with you on threads right now. Oh, that's great. We have these amazing back and forths on threads. It's like, I don't know what to call it. It's like sarcasm ping pong or something.

Yeah. It's really good. Yeah. We're both getting gold and silver medals in the new event. Tom Merritt, have a good one. We'll see you later today. Bye. I'll buy now.

Bye. Bye. I mean, I would totally go to a game style that had a bunch of retro stuff. Just to hang around. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds like fun. Sure.

Bet you I could get an Atari Jaguar there or a... I'll bet you could. I'll bet. I wonder what you would get... You know, you're trying to get rid of. your PS3 or your 360 or something or both? Both of which, yeah. I wonder what they'll give you for that there.

If you get like a better. Oh, you think I'd get more at a GameStop retro than I would at a regular game stop? Possibly. I don't, I don't know. I don't know. It's worth exploring. And I honestly, I think I'd even be happy trading my 360 for a DS, a Game Boy, dual screen or the, you know, with the square one that flips up. Oh.

S.P? S.P. Yeah, the S-P. GBA. I love that thing. GABSP. Greatest console they ever made. I stand by it.

Love it. Great form factor. And the best way to play Advance Wars, in my opinion. Yeah, Vance Wars rules. Oh my gosh, that game's good. Just you saying advance wars makes me want to keep playing advanced war.

Right, yeah. Love that so much. All right, we are going to dive directly into the pool here. I've got to find the damn names. Here we go. Okay, we got Randy Jordan coming in. We got Nicole.

Spag coming in. Oh, Nicole's on the line. It's a full group. Yeah, and her light is green. That makes me happy. All right. Let's see what we got here for this. Well, what do you recommend?

All right. Pull up a bag of popcorn in your favorite streaming remote channel unit. It's time for us to do the recommendals. That's right. Stuff we've seen on streaming services and we have our good friends, Nicole here. Hello, Nicole. Hi. Unit.

Hi. How you doing? I'm doing good. Yeah. Fantastic. It's always good to hear your voice. Yeah, you sound great. Yeah, you sound real good.

And then, of course, Randy Jordan also joining us from the other side of the country. Hello, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. Hi, how are you? Hi, good. Oh, that's all good. Thanks for the Tad Pooley feud. All it made me think of was Danny Gans.

I don't know if you ever got to see him. Danny Gans. I've seen, I've never seen him live, but I do remember Danny Gans. in Vegas, another impersonation stalwart. Him and Fred Travelina. Also surprised nobody said Fred Travelina in the list. Well, Danny Gans died about 15 years ago, but before then, he was, man, I saw him probably 10 times. Did you really?

I saw his billboard a bunch. How's that? Oh, it was. Oh, it was down the strip, yeah. Why did you send us a Martin Short thing? I just wanted you to see Martin Short with waving my name. That's all. He didn't send it to you.

It was here before you got here. It was already in the channel, but it's some. I accidentally had the recommendals planning because I was doing the quick t-and-s, not L-I thing. And when I was trying to send to Scott, I accidentally sent you guys. Oh, right, right, right. I forget you put that in there. That's where you can see both my birthday message and the notes app that I use for film sacks. I got to save that video and figure out who else I know named Brian who will eventually turn 55.

Yeah. Well, Brian Dunaway is on the cusp of that. He's getting there a couple years. Yeah. He'll be there. Actually, did somebody pay to have him do that? Somebody paid to have the AI insert my name into a video. Oh, okay, that's what I thought. Yeah, he did not. He can't trust anything anymore. I was going to say, Martin Short's cameo account is really something, boy.

They go all out. They go all out on there. Yeah, I must say. It's really good a must say. All right. How about we dive in? here. Brian, we have your clip. You're all lined up. What do you want to say about it? Let's do this. This is a series. This was one that I didn't have on my radar. And then Tina heard from somebody who was good. And she, she kind of pressured me into watching it. And I'm kind of glad she did. It's like, wow, why was I afraid to watch this thing? Because it's

absolutely, it's great. Series from earlier this year on Netflix. All right. Here we go. Oops, why didn't play? Here we go. Bodies. I'm not interested in bodies. I'm about empathy. People talk about true crime being sensationalist. But you know what's really sensational? Just listening to people tell their story. There's nothing more interesting. Yeah, totally.

The best stories are always mysteries. And there's only one true mystery, a human heart. Wow. People will listen to it. that, will they? Wait, Dove? Are you, Dev? Oh my God, it's so nice to meet you.

Um, do you know our researcher, Emmy? I'm Emmy Sizer. I work in the digital department. We've actually met a couple of times. No, I don't think so. Oh. Um, so I've organized everything. Accommodation is sorted, interviews lined up, I've got Matt,

I've hired a driver for the week. Sean O'Shea. How Irish is that? I've actually been trying to learn Irish, which is a really difficult language. Hey, hey, this is going to be so much fun. Look at us. The dream team. Bodkin has no idea what's about to hit it.

Nice. Oh, there's the name at the end. He does a podcast, right? Correct. Yeah, this is Bodkin, said there at the end. Bodkin. Yep, and Will Forte is a podcast who does a true crime show. So he enlist the help of a couple people from London, one of whom is kind of getting pushed into helping him unwillingly because her current case that she's working on, she's kind of getting implicated in some bad stuff.

So her boss says, you know, you're going to go off to Bodkin, Ireland, and help this podcaster with his true crime story. He's going there to investigate the disappearance of some people during the Irish close to Halloween festival called Sawin. And it's these people disappeared decades earlier. So he's kind of like opening this cold case. And so he's got Dove played by Chavonne Cullen. And she's great. You heard of her at the end there. And then Robin Cara as Emmy Cizzer.

Is that how he say the Cullen lady's first name? how did you say Shivan? Shippon? Oh my lord. I would have said Sayobahan. Sayobhan.

Yes. He's got a crazy name. Jeez. And I just recommended trying a few weeks ago and that Robin Kara is in that. Oh, is she in that one as well? She's very funny. She's great.

Yeah. She's so good. So this series, what is it, seven episodes, they start investigating this disappearance and they uncover something a lot darker and a lot more sinister.

There are comedy elements, so this is described as a black comedy thriller series. And I would say it's, you know, that comedy is in there and it's very funny, but it's, you know, there's some more dark stuff going on. I think the comedy is there because Will Forte plays this inept kind of

delusional podcaster dude. But it's funny. Do they get the podcasting right? They do, actually. Oh. And when he describes the podcast of people in this remote town in Ireland, everybody's response is about the same, which is people are going to listen to that? People are going to want to listen to that? What show gets podcasting wrong the most?

And why is it only murders in the building? I think it's that, but I think that Zach Braff thing got it pretty wrong. Oh, that was the, yeah. Give that one point for the worst. You know what? I take it back. I've seen some, Kim has watched some holiday like Hallmark movies. There's some Hallmark stuff for it. Oh, dude.

She's a big time audio producer from the big city travels to her hometown to do a podcast. Basically, that's it. Yeah. And the two and the co-host and the host fall in love or whatever. It's horrifyingly bad. Like they don't get any of it right. They think if you just have a microphone in your face, you're podcasting. It's like, you don't know what you're doing. So I don't listen to podcasts. I don't know why. Sure.

You're busy with a lot of other things, yeah. Right. But recently, I started listening to a true crime podcast. Oh, did you really? Oh, funny. And it's, because I guess through Amazon music, you can listen to it at free and I have music. So it came up as a suggestion.

And so Mateo and I start listening to it. And it is one of my favorite podcasts now. It's called the McBallin podcast. He also has a YouTube channel, but I've just been diving into the true crime genre. So I think it's hilarious that you're recommending a show about true crime. It is, I mean, it is probably the biggest subset of podcasts. I think people really glummed on to the whole true crime genre for podcasting. And it does really well, you know, it's a huge, it's a, it's a good genre.

but McBallon is the one you're Mr. Ballen, Mr. Ballen, Mr. Ballen, sorry. See, I'm so new to it. But it reminded me of, Mr. McMullen. But it reminded me, like, I'm listening to it. I'm like, man, this is like, it reminds me of some of the episodes that we did with the.

Oh, the America's Next Top Podcaster stuff. Yes. So I'm listening to him like, oh, my gosh, this is really cool. So anyway, it made me think of that. Awesome. Yeah. Cool. So yeah, back to back to Bodka.

I'm trying to think of a good way to segue back. No, I wasn't trying to be like, cool story, bro. And then move on. I wanted to find a way to work it back over to this. But so your main people you've kind of seen in a few things. I think this David Wilmot, he looks so familiar to me. And I don't know what I've seen him in, but he's been in a ton of stuff. um oh he was in station 11 uh on hbo black sales on stars um the tutors uh he's been in a bunch of stuff uh david wilmart irish

irish guy who looks like a shamis and plays a character named shamis my wife watched this whole thing in like a couple of nights and she loved it and kept saying scott you need to watch need to watch it so now yeah now i got two people up at the end or do you think they're okay i think there might think there could be another season they definitely um another podcast yeah i mean they they have a another storyline that kind of gets wrapped up the main storyline all of that gets wrapped up with a bow but um they had a secondary storyline in there that while it is resolved could lead to another another season of it but um but i feel like i i'll be surprised if they do another season of this i feel like this is, this, this kind of wraps things up so nicely that you don't need to go any

further on it. Cool. Seven episodes, you say? Seven episodes. They're about 35 or 45 minutes to an hour long each. You can, like, like Kim did, you could do this in a couple nights and you'll be better off for it. It's a lot of fun.

And maybe one of my favorite Will Forte things that he's done, um, since Last Man on Earth, uh, wrapped. Um, it's that show. I do too. I think about that show. time. Yeah, show is great. I do.

Yeah. I loved Nebraska. It's my favorite thing I've seen him in. Oh, okay. Well, I got to slip that in there is my favorite thing to Will Forte's done soon. I forgot about how great that was. Once again, it's called Bodkin. It's on Netflix and just popped up on at the beginning of May, and I'm glad Tina

finally wore me down and talked to me into watching it. Wow. Nice. Yeah. I hope you're okay. Yeah, baby. I'm fine. A little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, uh, a little, a little, uh,

for where, but I think I'll be fine. Okay, good. You'll recover. I'm trying to say something that doesn't end up being a euphemism. It's hard to do. All right, Nicole, we're swinging it over to you today. You're number two. Tell us all about your clip.

There's only two episodes out, but definitely, I didn't realize I was watching something that was a weekly release. I hate that. Do you think you're signing up for a movie and it turns into like and catch the next episode next week? Yeah. So it is a documentary, streaming on Max, two episodes are out. It takes place in Missouri. So there you go.

They've got your M.O. in two ways. Get it? M.O. is short for Missouri. Get it. Anyway, that's great. Let's play it and see what we get on the other side. There is this culture of almost entirely women who raise chimpanzees and monkeys as if they're babies. There is nothing like holding, loving, being around a chimp, especially Tonka.

And I'll do anything to protect that, primary. Anything. Anything. Anything. Tell how far does she go? Does she really truly do anything to protect that chimp? That woman is nuts. So is this the next tiger king?

It is by the same culture. So here's the. So, again, only two episodes have come out. It sets it up in the first episode talking about, so apparently Missouri has insanely lax laws when it comes to animal breeding. And I remember living in Arizona and going to like a pet store in the mall. And every single one of those dogs were from Missouri. And I'm like, why are they all from Missouri?

And now that makes sense because in Missouri, you can breed pretty much any animal and sell any animal that you want. So in Festus, Missouri, there was a woman in the 80s named Connie, I can't remember her last name, but she bred chimps. And these chimps were used in movies, and they did a thing called Chimp Party. actually um hire this company and bring a chimp to your party and everybody get to cuddle the chimpanzee so when they're little when they're juniors i think from like from birth until about five that is when that's the the adorable part of of chimpanzee once they get older they become unruly they become these are wild animals like that i'm watching

this going what the hell these are wild animals what what is going on um and so this all happened because there was a law for endangered species um enacted and so chimpanzees were put on the endangered species but if they were already in captivity then they were exempt from that that law and so since then has gotten involved so PETA's involved in a lot of this and so this started

in 2020 so again I said this was the director of Tiger King so that pissed a lot of people off in the exotic

animal world it's like this whole underground like it's wild literally and so

he gets a proxy director to basically gain the trust of Connie and this woman that you heard in the clip and she's the cover woman on on the she has you know big fake hair big blonde hair big fake lips she's very um just looking at her very overdone and it's that that becomes the story of this documentary is Connie signs over these chimps and pita takes them to court release these there were eight or no nine i think in this captivity in festus missouri and they're and they're just in cages they're older chimps so they're violent chimps they have no room so they're like peter's like no they need and tonka is the one that was in a lot of the movies in the 80s so he actually was in a movie called buddy

I remember buddy Buddy was stupid That was a stupid movie But it was No not Matt LeBlanc Was a Oh shit Who was that

The actor And he's in the documentary He's actually part of this It's not George Costanza That's a different one No The guy I think he did Chicago

His gay actor I'm thinking of a different Yeah What's his name? I'm sure somebody No You would say it and I would know it crap

I'm gonna forget he's in this documentary he's very you'll recognize immediately no but he's he talks about the relationship

that he had with Tonka and so basically the first episode wraps up that PETA gets the chimps out of this

containment center and into a like a wild animal park they have room they have trees it's a whole thing it's much more

humane for these these chimpanzees but one's missing and it's Tonka and so episode two goes into that

and she's in Lake of the Ozarks and again this is like 20 so it starts in 2020 we're in 2021 now and so it's it's relatively

very very recent it's fascinating I'm very curious how much of it feel because Tiger King lost me because it got so... I didn't watch Tiger King. It got so freaking exploitative and dumb.

And like they were playing... Sensational and... Yeah, they were just playing lowest common denominator on there. This sort of stuff, though, is very interesting to me. So it sounds like I'm going to have a better time here. Yeah. Well, I did not... So it picks up with this woman in...

So she moves from Festus after they take the chimps. She moves from Festus to Lake of the Ozarks, and she has like a 28-acre property, and she has all of these, like, she has llamas and wild, you know, all kinds of, like, exotic animals. And they're like, they just ask her, how do you afford this? She's like, I'm a broker. And so she brokers and sells monkeys and all kinds, I mean, thousands upon thousands. And she does it all through Facebook. And it's just, I'm like, how is this all legal?

Like, I don't understand. It's crazy to me. Yeah. So it is. And it's a whole, again, it's Missouri. So, yeah. Wow. All right.

And tell us the name again. And we're, like, literally chimp crazy. This woman is chimp crazy. She is chimp crazy. Like, the way that they kind of break this down, And they also talk about the story. You remember of the woman that got her face ripped off? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. They talk about that in the second episode and kind of like just how it evolves and how, oh, we thought it was okay. But then he grew up. And again, wild animals. So a wild animal is going to do what a wild animal does. And you get situations like that. So it is shining a light on that community, and I'm sure they don't like that, but it's not right doing with those animals. No, they're, I mean, like you said, they're wild animals.

And just because they're cute and they're babies and they kind of look human a little bit, doesn't mean you got to get your face ripped off. Yeah, that's crazy. All right. Chim crazy on H, it's a Macs, sorry. I want to see it on H max. I'm going to speak of HMAX. Hey, Randy, tell us about your clip here before I play it. I just, I needed something old, comforty, I needed something fun.

And as you know, I'm in that, I'm in that time when I'm trying to show things to my kid. Yeah. And I found a movie that's turning 40 next year. Can you believe that? Wow. This movie is turning 40 next year. Yeah. As I try to do, I gave you the very first dialogue.

And the movie, you're going to know it. Everybody's going to know it. But I highly recommend that you watch this again. All right. Here we go. You. Party, is that you? Hey, Doc.

Where are you? I got, I found you. Listen, can you meet me in Twin Pines Bowl tonight at 115? I've made a major breakthrough. I'll need your assistance. Wait a minute. 115 in the morning? Yeah.

Doc, what's going on? Where you've been all week? Working. Where's Einstein? Is he with you? Yeah, he's right here. You know, Doc. You lift your equipment on all week.

My equipment. That reminds me, Marty. You better not hook up to the amplifier. There's a slight possibility of overload. Yeah. I'll keep that in mind. Good. I'll see you tonight.

Don't forget now. 1.15 a.m. Twin Pines Mall. Right. Marty. You're going to run from the Libyans. We started watching this too, Randy. Yeah. It's on Netflix.

The kind of extra other movies are also on Netflix. But you don't need them. This movie is the best. It is back to the future. If you've never seen it, what's wrong? Are you, are you okay? Please watch it. You're good if you haven't seen it.

Maybe, yeah. That's just true. It's on my short. Have you seen the musical yet? Oh, there's a musical. Back to the future. The musicals coming through town and I'm like, I'm trying to find somebody to go with me because Mark's like, I don't like musicals.

I'm like, I want to go see it. Mark is my wife. She hates musicals. I don't mind them, but she hates them. So, Randy, you said 40 years? Is that what you said? 40 years next year. All right.

That's fun to think about. I was 14 or 15 when I saw it in theaters. And I don't like that at all. I don't like how old that makes us. That's crazy. But it's on a short list of like perfect movies, though. Like I've got a list of about 12 movies, I think, fit the, the criteria of being perfectly paced, they portray exactly what they need to portray. They don't ever

land in Cringedown for the most part. That movie's one of those. It's, it is a little weird watching it now. Like if you've been watching a lot of recent current stuff, the way that you pace movies nowadays is very different. Like the clip you just heard, it's a, it's, if you put it, if you just didn't know it and you put it in a current thing, it would be very cringy. But the way the way the movie kind of doles out everything naturally it holds up just fine and like it's a I mean there's a reason

that it was nominated for four Oscars one of them it's a really good movie like everybody in making this movie are hitting at the top of their game by the way the win was for sound effects editing that's a

thing that's it wow I wonder what Eric Stoltz really thinks about not getting in that movie he's probably he's probably talked about it somewhere right i'll bet and i'll bet you know if you interview him i'll bet he says i'm glad michael j fox got the part because he's perfect for it and and uh you know it really helped uh move him from tv to movies but then maybe secretly goes damn it yeah i get mask great i don't even get my face on screen damn it yeah i mean they filmed most of it right and then refilts yeah they have a lot yeah they have a lot of footage

Yeah, it felt like it was kind of a mute. I don't remember what I heard. There was something about it being kind of. He was just too serious. Was that what it was? Yeah, he just, the vibe that came off of him was not fun. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I love some kind of wonderful. He is, he is, his character's kind of mopey in that. And it's, I guess, what the,

what the character needs, but, uh, yeah. Well, it's, I was really noticing how this movie has a bunch of things that are just like great,

you know? like there's the in when we go back to the past um there's all of these all of this like perfect costuming wonderful like extras you know doing extra things like it just you know like yeah michael j fox is great christopher lloyd is great lea thompson's great everybody hates crispin clever everybody always will but like if you once you get right past them and tom wilson biff once you get right past them there's all these other people participating in this movie and they're doing a good job they're they're like fun to watch and like they have all of the the connective tissue in the movie where when you see something here you're

going to see it there in a different time frame or like if you see someone walking across the street right you'll see them later walking the other way across the street like the whole movie is just amazing for that it is good my favorite side character is save the clock tower ladies Oh, sure, yeah. I could listen to her, do that over and over and over. It's your cousin, Marvin Barry. Right, right, right, right. Nice.

I also like the sister and the brother, and I don't know, it's a great, you're absolutely right. I just put that guy's wallet. Yeah. Also, Bombats in the chat says, or not Bombat, sorry, somebody else said, oh, I love, I love Crisp and Glover. We're not talking about his roles. We're talking about he's apparently just a pain in the ass to work with. Yeah. I don't hate him, but I don't know him.

So I can't really say. He has burned a lot of bridges, apparently. Yeah. Well, and then they had the whole issue with him not doing Back to the Future, too. And he sued them because they got an actor that and made the actor look like him. Yeah. Yeah. And Crispin was like, nope, that's not cool.

And then that actor appears in a bunch of documentaries talking about how Leah Thompson treated him like crap. Oh, really? I forget who the second George McFly was, but... Oh, geez. By then she was, you know, Howard the Duck was looming large. And I'll be honest, back to future two is my favorite. Really? Wow.

I loved, I loved the futuristic. Leah Thompson's giant fake plastic boobs. Loved it so much. The worst prosthetic. I hate the second one. The first and the third. I love the third one. I love the first one.

That middle one is some bad meat in my sandwich. I do like this kind of thing is why I'm saying I'm recommending the first one because like you can have your, they're all streaming on Netflix right now, but you can have your feelings about sequels. The first one, though, it's just great from beginning to end. And you get to like feel what you felt the first time you saw it, which is what I'm really on about right now. Like there are certain things.

I would even say like I've known people who. who have rewatched Tiger King fairly recently to feel that feeling they had in early 2020 when everyone was watching Tiger King. I don't want to feel that feeling. I hated that feeling, not a fan. I did like the, there was a time, there were a few days there where it was like just me and Kim,

and we knew we were trapped and there was something there that was like, I kind of liked, I like the, not isolation of it, but just the we're here together. We're in this together. I like that a lot, but almost every other part of the feeling of 2020 can take a hike and die. I freaking hated that. Yeah, like I say, I started watching MASH from the very beginning at that time because I was like, we're going to watch a lot of TV.

What's a lot of TV? That's MASH. It's like 200 hours. Jeez. Comfort, dude. Yeah, it was so, oh, so pleasing. I love a rewatch of MASH. That's a good secondary recommendal today.

Anyway, so check it out. That is back to the future on Netflix. Netflix, along with all three. If you want to see all three and pretend that two is good, please be our guest. It is good. I hate two. I hate it. I'm here to tell you two is fun. All right. You know what? You're going to have to order something, kid. I respect your taste. So maybe I'll give it another shot. I just have always hated it. But maybe I'm wrong. No, you got to pay for it. That's right. No such thing is Pepsi free.

All right. Here is mine. It is a documentary. So Nicole and I have the same mind this week with documentaries, although mine is an older one that I saw way back when it came out. It is now 21 years old. But it has stuck with me for a long time. It showed up streaming again, so I thought, why not? Let's watch it again. And I got even more out of it this time. Here is my clip. Let me hear your voice level to make sure it's the same. Okay. How's my voice level? That's fine. Terrific. Now, I remember exactly the sentence I left off on. I remember how it started and it was cut off in the middle, but you can fix it up somewhere. I don't want to go back, introduce the because I know exactly what I wanted to say.

Go ahead. Okay. Any military commander who is honest with himself or with those he's speaking to will admit that he has made mistakes in the application of military power. He's killed people unnecessarily his own troops or other troops

through mistakes, through errors of judgment. But he hasn't destroyed nations. And the conventional wisdom is don't make the same mistake twice. Learn from your mistake. mistakes. All right. This is Errol Morris's The Fog of War from 2003.

It is, Errol Morris makes really great documentaries, like, period. He's one of the best there ever was and probably ever will be. But this particular one sticks with me because it is a time out of my life that I didn't know anything about. And so it was just super interesting to hear

some history where things didn't go our way and the people behind it. So that was Robert McNamara that you're hearing. He was the Secretary of Defense during the Kennedy and over through the Johnson era. He was there that entire time. And essentially was point man top gun in all things Vietnam War. And this thing is about him coming to grips with it's contradictory. by design. It's him coming to grips with the kind of damage that we did to that part of the

world, the kind of damage we took as a participant in that hopeless war, how he feels about it that many years later. He since passed away, but it's him kind of grappling with what happened during all of that and who he was fighting for and what president did this and that. And, you know, he was a much younger man when all this was going on. want to say he had been like in his 30s or something when he was when he was secretary of defense there's all kinds of tape and audio from like everybody from uh kennedy to johnson to nixon uh having conversations with him about what the strategy was going to be and all this sort of stuff and they were going to deal with just this cluster f that was vietnam and it's really

interesting and i also just absolutely love the way it's filmed uh coincidentally He made another documentary not too many years ago. Let's see if I can find it here. The name of it is fog. It's basically fog of war two, but it's with Donald Rumsfeld. Oh. And covers.

Desert storm. Yes. But mainly 9-11 and forward is what that is. So the impetus for starting the war in Iraq and what they learned from that and how their evidence was shaky at very best and that sort of thing. I'm saying if I can't remember the title of the thing. I can't find it. Anyway, oh, there it is.

No, is it doomsday clock? No, that's not it. Anyway, it's also very good. And it's essentially the same kind of thing, looking at the same position in government in two very different eras. The unknown, known. The known unknown, that's it. Unknown known.

Unknown. Is that it? Yes. Yeah, because Brunsfeld had that whole, there are no knowns, there are unknown knowns and there are unknown knowns and that whole thing. So they play off that. It's essentially the same

structured documentary asking the same kind of questions and they're both excellent. I would recommend watching the one first from 03. It is on Tubey and it's very, very good and then watch the other one and it's just enlightening and eye-opening. How many commercials did it have?

I watched it on browser so I have it blocked so I don't know. Oh, gotcha. I have no idea. Tube's great on desktop because you can block all that stuff. Just the ad blocker and brave. Yeah, that's really great. Have you explored Canopy yet?

I don't know what Canopy is. What is that? So if you have a public library card, there's an app called Canopy, and you can watch tons of free movies with no ads with your library card. It's the one that does books also? It does books as well. Yeah, it does. I think it.

No, I think Canopy is just video. Let's see here. With a K. Canopy with a K. K-A-N. Okay. Because there is a canopy app with a C, and that's a whole different thing. That's a whole different thing. It's like a protection, yeah.

A lot of documentaries. I started watching a, oh, Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks, Twin Peaks guy. Lynch, David Lynch. They had a Lynch documentary. It was almost like a film student documentary. It was kind of weird. I didn't watch much of it.

But, I mean, it's a fun app to explore free old movies, stuff like that. Because I have a subscription to just use it? No, you just need a library card, which you can get for free. Yeah, just go to your library and get it. Go to the library. Just go to the library and get a card. There's decent stuff on here. You can watch Lady Bird.

You can watch Leave No Trace. I don't know what that is. Anyway, yeah, it's, no, you're fine. But it's really good. And if you are into historic military stuff at all, which I really like that stuff. I like history in general, but I really like this particular kind of history. And Errol Morris knows how to make documentaries like nobody's freaking business and just get things out of people that you're surprised he got out of them. And there's a reason he's considered one of the all-time best.

So anyway, that's on Tooby right now. It floats around, tends to be on various streaming services here and there. But it's easy to get right now because that is a free place to go. on TV you'll end up watching ads but if you got a desktop computer any browser with any ad blocker will totally work so that's it for all of us these are all going to be up on quicktms.l i and you will find all the stuff we recommend on there Nicole anything going on and the wood whispering world you'd like to mention before we go I've been designing new shirts for for our so that's what I've been doing nice to be putting out some new shirts I

I had a shirt of Oreo on it, our cat. Oh, I thought you meant the cookie, but that works too. The cat or the cookie. Yeah, our black and white cat Oreo. I had to put signs up that says, please don't take him. He's been rescued too many times by people that drive by. Just thinking that he's a strape. They do.

I had a laser attack on him saying, I just like outside. Like, we try to keep him inside, but he just, we found him outside in a tree. He likes to be outside. You should feed... And you never found the collar thing, right, that he had? No. He lost the camera collar. Yeah, he lost the camera.

Oh, right, the camera. So you were talking about having to get, or you were going to get something new, but you haven't done that. Yeah, no, I did. I've just been gun shy to put it on him. Yeah. Well, yeah, because he'll lose it again. That's what cats do. Well, you know, I don't know.

Yeah. Maybe. He goes out in the woods. Who knows what he does? You should increase his food amount. and then call them double stuff orio uh randy anything on your end you'd like to mention before we go film sacks coming up this weekend yeah we're gonna get taken oh yeah yeah that's what we're going to do we have to come to the show we don't have to come to the show with any kind of a special

set of skills for each of us right we can just no no no no no we leave that to brian ibut he has all the skills okay good oh well thank you for that yeah bring your bring your skills bring yourselves it's great to have you both here we'll see you both soon Okay. Okay. Brian, that about finishes things up for us today. It really does.

Yeah, I can't think of anything else we really need to do. No, really. Really, it's just, well, it's just this email from Jeff,

uh, Jeff, uh, Jeff Seyer that I'm going to read as all. Here's what he says, this is Jeff on Hornets. I'd watch that TV show. I would too.

For sure. Um, he's talking about those fake paper nests. He says, Scott and Brian, we moved into our current house in 2020. Dice, uh,

that time. Probably during that time, probably is like that. I don't know what he means by dice, but I think you're right. Or since that time, maybe? Since that time. Oh, that makes more sense. Since that time, we had a lot of wasps each summer. And last year, they got into one of our exterior walls. I got an exterminator in, and she used the white powder you described, and it worked like a charm. She recommended the paper nest as well to keep them away. And I said, I tried it, and they didn't work. The wasps came

anyway. The thing that I, like you, used them too late. Or the thing is, I, well, he means we used them too late. Yeah. It's worded weird. She said, wasps are super territorial and won't make a nest where there is another one. But if they are already there and you put one up and the wasps are like, F those guys, we're just here first or we got here first. This year I put it for those paper nests and there were still snow on the ground and no wasps this summer.

So apparently that is an early thing. Let them know the neighbors are already moved in, right? Yep, do it early and then you're set. If you do it mid-summer when they've already got stuff going on, they're like, yeah, whatever. Yeah, 100% good idea. I like it. We're going to try that because I have extras. We're going to use this advice and do it early in the before spring.

I like that. Yeah, we'll do it as well. I think it sounds, it's a really cheap way to keep them away and you don't end up having to kill any wasps and you don't end up killing your wife's herbs either, which is really nice. That's right. And the good news about that powder is we use that once. and we haven't had a wasp since. That's cool.

That stuff worked great. And the dogs never licked it. They didn't want to go near it. They were like not into it. So it worked out for everybody. All right, that is it for today's show. Frogpants.com slash TMS for all the things you might need. The one thing you need right now is some music.

And Brian, thankfully, brought some. I did. This one's going out to Jen. Hello, fellas. A little birdie told me that it's Free Ranger's birthday today. Just kidding. I know this because he's my brother. I would like to send him a song and maybe the old lady birthday clips.

since we're both on the higher end of our 30s now. I don't have a particular song. Oh, you go ahead. I thought that was it. I thought there was a period. I don't have a particular song in mind. Maybe a cool cover of a Disney song. Thanks, guys.

P.S. It's never too early for a fish sandwich. Signed, Jen. They're going to get both then. Happy birthday. Hey, is it too early to get a fish sandwich? There's some of that. That's an impression there is what that is.

Hey, I just got to listen to your Monday show and you were talking with Steven about video games and movies and making video games into movies. You know, I've been thinking this for a long time. Hollywood is lame because they did not make this wonderful video game that has been selling millions

and millions of copies for years, and it's considered one of the best video games all time. Half-life. They need to make half-life. They need to make Half-Life. So Prime or Netflix, get on it. And they need to make it a series.
