it's obviously it's like a i know i'm kidding that must be like it wasn't me It wasn't me. It wasn't me. Let's see. I guess I'll do it. It wasn't me. I was able to install updates. What's going on, Zoom?

I know. I can't, like, it's launched. Oh, Zoom, you freaking suck. Whatever you are. I don't know what you're doing. Like, at first it said, oh, install the silicon. You're on a silicon computer. You should install the silicon computer.

You should install the silicon. a conversion. And I do that. And the Zoom icon has a little thing, the little dot indicating that it's open. Yet, if I click on it, it doesn't take me to the Zoom workspace application. No. Zoom. Zoom workspace.

I'm still annoyed by that. Workspace. Force quit. I know, exactly. We want to be like teams. All right. I'm in. You want to force Zoom to quit?

Yes, I do. I'm in. And yet it still shows up in the list. Zoom, all right, well. It won't even let you force quit it? No, I mean, like, if I force quit, oh, there we go, it's not showing, oh, no, it's still showing up. So I selected in the force quit applications, I hit force quit, it says, do you want to force zoom

dot us to quit? You will lose any unsafe changes. I'm like, whatever, force quit, click that button. It stays in the force quit applications list. Like it is. This is how Jedi's do it. Amnoxious. That is obnoxious.

Why is that on there? Freaking abnoxious. All right. Finally disappeared. Jeez, Louise. All right. Re-clicking our link. Do you want to allow this website to open Zoom US?

Always allow. Dr. Calhoun, are you from the late 90s? Get a Windows Zoom. Never has issues on my computer. Oh, whatever, Dr. Calhoun. Let me tell you something about Zoom on my Windows PC. Crashed hard, never used it again. So if you want to get into that fight, we can do it.

Oh, I like that. Is that good? Yeah, that's good.

Only if you tell like ghost stories and stuff. It happened on a morning just like this morning. Do you ever actually have that ever happen in real life where you're at like a scout camp or something and they, somebody puts a flashlight to their face and tells ghost stories? No. I haven't either. That's why I think it's, I feel, oh, well, you're lucky then. Camps kind of sucked.

It was not my favorite thing. I guess, okay, I take that back. I guess I did, like, one, it was some weird, I want to say it was like some weird Hungarian camp or something. Really? Oh, I need to know more. Or at least, like, I'm remembering that there were a bunch of other Hungarian kids there. There were a bunch of Hungarian kids there. And it was something that my grandmother set up or had a friend who was doing this thing.

Boy, this is like. it wasn't until you brought it up that this this vague memory do you think it's the thing that's still going on like a hungarian getaway camp for kids or something i don't know i don't know if it is or not but it's pretty funny i want to know i must know more all right my color a little bit brighter it's getting better looking better let's do this oh oh let's not do that let's not do that you don't want to do um no i mean i don't blame you Oh, the calls were coming from inside the house. Wait, we got to set this up so we can, whenever we're shocked by something, all we have to do is push a button, and both of us just do this. What's the, what's the burbs thing with Tom Hanks and, uh, what's his face? Oh, uh, it's a human bone. Ah!

That is what they did.

I'll give you all the raw files you need somebody needs to put that together and make tim cook a big star you know whatever you need yeah yeah he needs more fame i think for sure poor guy yeah yeah let's get it out there you know uh hey so

uh yeah i was sick um i got covid my wife had covid i thought i dodged a bullet uh on day six or seven of her ordeal suddenly i came down with it which makes sense because it doesn't always incubate the same for everybody and you know before she knew it was COVID we thought it was allergies and I was still you know sleep in the same room with her and I think that probably is what did it Carter's fine so far I've been wearing a mask and staying away from people um mostly resting although yesterday I was just irritable as hell because I'm like I have to get I can't just sit around I can't do this and then I'd get up and go try to do something I'd be like I'm really tired now I got to go lay down again like it was that bad but today

feeling way better. I will say this. The 22, 22 variant I had was terrible compared to this. This is almost nothing compared to that. That time I lost the taste and the smell. I had horrible fever.

I had all the stuff everyone warned you about. Just awful, terrible, bodyache from hell, all that. This time is mostly a little throaty, kind of a cough, but kind of minor. The hard part was just tired all the time and brain fog like i cannot get shit straight in my head at all exactly so that's yeah exactly what happened to me a few weeks ago uh july was it end of july i think wow has it been that long holy crap it's been that long yeah and um yeah exactly the same situation it was just i could not

i was exhausted all the time yeah and uh just tired and like i like people bringing up paxloven in the chat and amy asked me about it they we have a dose here but i asked my doctor uh and also because confirmed this with uh did you ask you doctor if pexlova is right for you i did i did just like the commercials she said she said um i think that you want to save those for when things are severe the when when it's like severe symptoms that are like making it so you're getting zero sleep or otherwise you know whatever and i didn't have any of that kim was closer to that i i mostly just was just like i felt like i just run three marathons and then couldn't move anymore that's how felt. So anyway, it's good to be back. I'm sick of being sick. F that shit. Let's get some

damn work done. I missed my shows. I missed this show. Really, it's just this show I've missed. I missed the Monday show. But really, it's TMS. That's where the blood is. It's where all the blood pumps. It's, it is our, it is, uh, if I didn't have coffee, this would be my only coffee. That's right. That's all you'd have. Yeah. Imagine that. If you had to get the caffeine out of the show, just how terrible that would be. Uh, I will say, though, just a reminder. Whenever you're that ill, flu, COVID, I don't care what it is. Go out and get yourself some of that Thai Tom Yum soup. Tom Yum.

It's all you need. Had some this weekend and I had the leftovers yesterday for lunch. I love Tom Yum. It's so good, dude. Oh my gosh. And I got like the level five so it was nice and hot and it really clears your face out, your sinuses and everything. Freaking love it.

Also, one other thing I was going to say about that, forgot what it was. And so I won't say it because this is how my brain's going to be today. Brian, instead, why don't you eat a thing that I will never eat? I will never eat this. I know, this is, it's like, you know, usually when people send food, they send something to each of us because we can try it on the show. And they know that, that there is no reason to send this stuff to you. No. And this is like sending Brian like thick and liquid or something like that.

Right, exactly. It's like you got thick and liquid, great. Send it all to Scott. Totally fine. Yeah. Those, um, those, uh, weird, um, squid ribbons, whatever those things were to ride. Oh, I love those. Love those.

Send those to Scott. You can have my share. Yeah. I mean, no one wants to be around me when I eat those, but I love them. They're really good. Yeah. Well, Georgie B in Australia, Deonanda, um, sent, uh, sent me some bullets, licorice bullets.

Um, after we were talking about chocolate covered licorice, uh, on the show. show a few weeks ago, chocolate-covered black licorish. We found that Danish company, Lacridz Un Bulo. Is that really? And I ended up buying myself the dark chocolate-covered licorish. And these are like balls, dusty black, dusty balls. Dusty black balls.

That was my wrestling name. Yeah, look at those. Yeah. These are good. They're the dark, dark chocolate black licorish, And they are fantastic. For listeners only, this is about the size of like a, like a grape. Like a grape.

There you go. Yeah, yeah, grape-sized. And the dark chocolate, sweetness of the dark chocolate cuts the tartness or the flavor of the black liquor. It's a great balance. Like the two work very well together. Well, Georgie B. in Australia sent me some Daryl Lee, not to be confused with Sarah Lee, but Daryl Lee. my gosh um real milk chocolate licorish bullets now these are milk chocolate as opposed to dark chocolate and they look like yeah look like little poops you know a few of ferrets

gross um they look like large chocolate tartant tinies or whatever those things uh yeah mike and ikes yeah exactly um there's one of them right there yeah little dr mario uh poop pill or something and milk chocolate and black licorish, surprisingly just as good as dark chocolate. These are awesome. Love them. Put that in there. Let's see what you got.

Very good. And see, there's the cutaway. It's like a little black licorice nib in milk chocolate. I used to love nibs. Remember nibs? But only the red ones, right? Only the red ones. The black ones can F right out of the door.

But if you give me some of the old red ones as a kid, I could destroy a bag of nibs back then. And then they would destroy my guts, but whatever. Yeah. It was worth it. So, once again, Danish chocolate and Australian chocolate, so much freaking better than American chocolate.

American chocolate is a tragedy. It's a tragedy. Are you going to, hold on, if you're reelected, what will you do to help our chocolate here in America? They're eating the chocolate, Scott. They're eating in Springfield, Ohio, they're eating the chocolate. Not only I get you to cough, I got you to do a spit take there.

Yeah, there was a, I almost got a chai, almost a chai tea. I almost got TT everywhere. Yes. All right, well, I forgot to play this for you. Uh-oh. Almost washed your food down. Yeah, that was for your food. Let's do it right now with a little bit of iced coffee from Panera.

Nice. By the way, I do the. I still do the Panera thing, right? Yeah. 13 bucks at the beginning of the month, 30 days of stopping and getting coffee. If I'm lifting and there's a Panera nearby, I'll stop and get another drink, you know, like an iced tea, unsweetened iced tea or something. Sure.

They have a lavender pomegranate, 10 calories for a 20 ounce or a large. This stuff is amazing. I throw one little packet of Splenda in there, and it's all awesome. Nice. But yes, yes, definitely. Stephanie Spider-Man shirt, Spider-Man Cup, sitting on a Spider-Man coaster. Thank you very much. Jeez.

What are you going to do? Could I be any more Spider-Man? You're going to kill Gwen Stacy while we're all watching here? What? What's going on over there? Too soon. Way too soon. It'll never be too early for that thing.

I just saw her doing the muffky fufky with Green Goblin the other day, and it really scarred me. Oh, oh, yeah. Kinds of kindness got. I know, dude. Did you watch it then? I watched it a couple nights ago. I mean, I guess I recommendal it, but it's still one of those things where you're never quite sure if you should recommend it. It's not for everyone.

And that scene where they are looking at the old videotape of the four of them? Yes, right. Can we watch a video? Oh, I don't know, man. Just one minute of it. Okay, fine. It's so weird, you guys. If you say a heartless, Stephanie says a hard pass, I don't blame you.

Like I said in that recommendal, this is not for every. one. This is for Lord Ghost Lathamos fans who love his weirdness and that's who this is for and if you want something that's unpredictable and also kind of gross and also some of the weirdest shit ever and also proof that

pretty much, okay, I've seen I don't know, what, three movies or two movies in theaters this year and at least four at home that all had Willem Defoe in them. What is going on? Yeah, a great agent right now. Yeah. I don't understand. He's having he's having the moment of his life at the moment

he's in everything. The movie we're talking about is kinds of kindness and there's a film within a little home movie shot within the movie is the movie we're talking about. Yeah. So if you if you ever were worried about what was his name on Breaking Bad? Todd.

If you ever wanted to see Todd and Todd doing some stuff you never thought you'd see him do. Todd doing some stuff to Annie McDowell's daughter. Man. Oh and her in the pool thing. Oh, my gosh. Oh, geez.

Yeah. That was rough. It's a really good movie, but my gosh, you know, you have to be a very, you have to like a very specific kind of film to say, I can watch this. Yeah. Anyway, so I go in and get my coffee from Panera and doing this on the regular, the one that's close to my house, I get to know all the people there. And there's this great one of the bakers, a guy named Jose. He is awesome. He likes baking outside of working at Panera.

And so he's always telling me about new things that he's trying. And he's like, have you ever done cheesecake? And I said, yeah. And he says, you know, you could do it two different ways. You can either chill it to let it set or you can actually bake it. And I said, well, I prefer the baking because then you get a nice golden brown on the top. And he's like, me too. Anyway, so Jose's awesome.

Jose is my favorite person there. Nice. There's Melissa. There's Faith. Jeez, you know everyone at the Panera bread. That's amazing. I do. I do.

I mean, you go in there and you, you know, because what I do is I walk in there and, you know, most of the time sometimes i'll buy a bagel um as well yeah but most of the time i'm just going in there i'm going beep boop boop on their little keypad and then i'm going over and getting my coffee in my own like bringing my own mug with my own splendia and my own um non-dairy creamer yeah so really all they are providing is the hot dirt water that's it so you give me your own cup though too right like this is always your own i don't use their own i don't use their cup i don't use their cup i don't use their creamer. I don't use their sugar or anything like that. What do you have to show them? Just ID and say I haven't even that. No, I just punch it on a little keypad. They have like

two little iPads that that have a login screen. I could walk up to the register and just give them my phone number and they say, okay, yep, here you go. And then I go and get my coffee. That's awesome. First name basis with people, it's amazing. These people must love you because you're always in them. They do. And I'm always cheerful. I'm always talking to them. They're like, Oh, a new Hawaiian shirt, Brian? I'm like, yeah, cool. Anyway, so Claire asked, why don't I use their creamer? Because they don't have sugar-free, fat-free creamer.

And I have that at home. So it's like an oat milk, an old milk creamer that I really like. It's interesting that they don't have that. You'd think they would. But there's one guy there, Scott. There is one guy. And I don't know his name because he doesn't wear a name tag. And I'll walk in there, and he'll be.

behind the counter and he'll look up at me and I'll go hey how's it going he'll look he'll kind of do it and then he'll just kind of walk off like he'll just kind of mumble and then turn and just walk away what is it about you that he's got you think he's got a little stick up at home

I think he doesn't like he's like he's probably like these people coming in and just taking the coffee you know he doesn't like the policy supposed to buy something it's supposed to inspire you to buy something with your coffee yeah but you're buying something every month for your you're you're eff off that guy that guy can eff off exactly and it's even

to the point where I'm so used to the cordials with uh um with Jose and Faith and Melissa that when I go hey how you doing today and they go oh good how about you and I go great thanks or thanks for you know good thanks for asking right like it's a it's just ingrained right that I accidentally the other day I walked in I saw this guy and I still always greet him and I go hey how you doing today and he just kind of mumbled and walked away and I go good thanks for asking it was purely it was not to be it was not to be sarcastic it was not to be a jerk but it just came like good thanks for asking yeah how come he gets to not wear a tag and everybody else has to what's the deal there yeah I don't know I don't know about I don't know why that is but he he clearly just

hates working at a Panera I think that's his thing yeah so maybe his name is Peter Panera is his full of it. Peter Panera. Oh, is he the manager? That's possible, Dr. Caldunas. He's not the manager. Melissa is the manager. Or the managri? Oh, man. And I don't want to, uh, I certainly don't want to get him in trouble or anything. I was thinking, you know, do I just say, hey, Melissa's, you know, is something up with a beardo? He's the only guy in there with a beard and so we call him. In my head, his name is Beardo.

Beardo. Beirdo. Beirdo with a beardo. What does that remind me of? Oh, Mario, Super Mario Brothers, too, had birdie. Oh, Birdo in it. Oh, Birdo. Yeah. Stupid character. So it's, you know, but I'm not going to get him in trouble.

I don't care. It's like, yeah, all right. You know, you clearly don't want to be here. And me, me trying to kill you with kindness is probably not going to help anything. So cool. Who knows? Maybe one day you're in there. You look at Beardo one more time and you just say, hey, man.

And that's the day where he finally just breaks down and says, Mr. Ribbitt, you have no idea. You're every day coming in here and your kind attitude toward me. me you've changed me i'm a new man he'll say maybe that'll happen oh yeah maybe that'll happen never know that's why be nice to everybody because you never know you know don't uh don't put five dollars on that new draft kings yeah uh also just i don't think anybody would respond well to hey beardo uh you know what i'm not definitely i mean i could i could say oh you know we're in the name tag can i call you beardo i mean maybe even like that well uh oh the other thing i learned about the COVID thing real quick before we move on.

Yeah, yeah. You can't get a, you're not supposed to get a, I can't get the booster for three months or something like that. You don't need the booster for three months. Oh, no, I know, I understand that. But I thought, I thought these new ones is, I thought the whole deal was that you could take them on top of an infection and that that was somehow good.

Chat says three weeks, Red Fragley, she just had it. I thought, my doctor's saying three months. And I thought Dr. Jerry even said, because I asked like, you know, we asked about the new, the new version of the COVID shot you know for the for the variant that they're expecting over the winter

and we said you know do I do it with the flu shot and he's like you really you know don't need it for another three months but your doctor's actively telling you not to get it for three months yeah mine says don't get it for three months go ahead and get the flu shot that's fine yeah so I'm getting that tomorrow or whatever so it's more like more like you don't need it

as opposed to don't do it because it's bad yeah probably would just For some people, it may mean, you know, extending the misery that you're already in. Because I'm still not totally over this. I'm guessing if I tested today, it would still be positive. I hope tomorrow I test, and it's not because we've got the kids all weekend. And I'd really like to spend time with them and not have them separated by an entire floor. I mean, I will hate that if that happens.

Although I will play a lot of World of Warcraft, I will tell you that. I bet this is doing great for your dailies and all of your other World Warcraft. Oh, yeah, dude. Big time. I've got two characters as of yesterday. And it's the only game I can play. I said this in a video yesterday, too. I saw it.

Yeah, I saw the YouTube video. It's the only game I can play while I feel like this. Everything else feels too complicated. So, like, I tried to fire up this game I love called Shapes 2. And it's this amazing automation factory thing. And I love that game. And it uses your brain in really specific ways. And I fired it up and I just looked at it and went, I don't know what's going on.

I just don't know what's going on. I have no idea. So I got the F out and went and flew around and did herbs. So it worked out great. Clicked in your herbs. Got a quick note here from a listener. This is from Craig who says, this is an email. He says, would we if we could?

Hayes, solar flare and Big Bang. I like the galactic versions of us. I do too. Yeah. It's pretty good. Yep. Whoops, I covered that. Here we go.

On Thursday's episode, you were talking about Guy Fietti at Stallone's house at a party. Scott mentioned Stalone's. alone having money to have the party catered, Scott, if you had that kind of money and we're having a party, would you have it catered? Or would Kim kick them out and take that part for herself? I adore the podcast, Craig. Craig made me think a little bit. Yeah. If I had Stallone money, then yeah, you'd cater stuff. Of course you would. Yeah. Yeah. Like, let Kim have a night off and enjoy having food, you know, food that she didn't have to sit and slave over and prepare. I mean, she's, she's, obviously, she's a great cook.

I've had her food myself. It's fantastic. And, um, uh, but, you know, just because you can doesn't mean you want to all the time. Right. No, it's, it's kind of like when people say money's a funny thing, right? Because I was thinking the other day, let's say you, you have just like deep, deep cut disagreements with somebody like Elon Musk, a multi-billionaire. Sure. If Elon Musk came to you and said, I'll give you one of my, I have $200 and something billion dollars, I'll give you one billion of it. If you never say anything mean about me again, never use my name in any sort of vainness, like you from now on, Elon Musk is your pal, because I'm giving you a billion. And you can't tell anyone that I did. Most people would take it and do it. That's what most people

would do. There are very few people. I don't care how strong your commitment is to fighting against his bullshit. Exactly. You're still doing it because you'll do it. That's what money does. I would totally do it in a heartbeat. I don't know what that number is. Like if he were to say, if he were to say 500 bucks, I wouldn't do it. No. But what is the number? Where is the, what is it between $500 and $1 million? Or did you say billion? Whatever it was? Billion. A million? Million, I'd still do it. a hundred thousand i'd still do it i would not do it for anything less than i mean i'd like to think 10 000 i'd still do it i'd like to think i'd never do it but here's the truth of it if you said here's a million dollars that's life-changing money that means multiple things it means

college funds for grandkids it means exactly everybody gets bailed out of any debt they have in my the people i care about the most like it means a lot more than just that so i'm I guess I'm just being honest here. I'd love to tell you. I'd say no. But if he came up to me and said, you, I'll give you million dollars and you stop saying bullshit about me online that even though I say it's bullshit is true, I don't know why that's his voice. It's not right.

It's not right. It's not even close. I mean, as long as, and that's all we have to do, right? We just have to not say bad things about it. We don't have to say good things about him. No. We don't have to say like, oh, you know, that Elon Musk is actually pretty good guy. Well, if that's part of the deal, then I have way more issues with it.

But at a billion, who, I'm not saying I would or wouldn't. I'm saying most people don't know what they do in the face of a billion dollars. Most people like to say what they do. I'm not sure they're actually really thinking it through. Bring out the Brewster's millions. They're caving. Stephanie, I'd do it for a thousand. No, you wouldn't.

Stephanie, I don't think you would. I'd take some time to decide if I'd do it for a thousand. 5,000, it's somewhere between $1,000 and $5,000 for me. A thousand I'd question it and probably would say no. 5,000, I'd do it. So it's somewhere, maybe $2,500 is the line of demarcation or something. I don't know. Maybe it's $1, I don't know.

Yeah, and obviously it's going to depend on the person, but people out there who talk a lot of talk about this, if they were faced with that. Or anyone you don't like, like, I don't know, who's a douchebag? I mean, we can't, obviously, we can't say that everybody's standards are like ours. But I think, I think 80% of people would take it. If he offered a million dollars, at least 80%, maybe even 95%. Here's another way of looking at it. If somebody said to me, Scott, will you buy a cyber truck? I'd say, hell no, I don't want a cyber truck.

They seem like they're bad and there's too many reports of issues. It's not worth it. I'll spend that $100 grand on two other cool cars that I can know. Sure. Sure. And then, but if somebody said, Scott, Mr. Musk would like to personally gift you three cyber trucks for free. Why three? Okay. Yeah. I would take one. And the rule was I had to drive one and the other two I could do whatever I want. Of course I'd take them. Yeah, of course. Because it's free shit. Yeah, exactly. It might even be shit. By the way, after driving around in my neighborhood, can I tell you the one thing that is, is uglier than a cyber truck. Is that even possible?

What is it? Is a cyber truck that somebody decided to paint white? Oh, gosh. That's a bad color. Is it matte or glossy or how'd they decide to? It's a matte white and it's... That's bad. It's, um, they still have like the black trim parts, but the, all the panels are painted

white and it just doesn't, it looks so unfinished. It looks like, um, I don't know, yeah, it might be, it might be a wrap. It might not be paint. but it's it's really it's really weird so the way help me understand though wraps can be changed I assume yes right okay basically yeah they're like I always wondered about vinyl vinyl covers sticky vinyl covers for your car kind of thing so they can come right off and you can put something else in its place if you wanted to I guess is how that works all right yeah here's the other thing I would do if they didn't say I had to drive one

well let's say even they did and they gave me three I would trade I wouldn't trade I would sell the other two A couple of rubes somewhere And I would buy I'd trade up to the best Rivian they make There you go, exactly Or even that Ford F150 Lightning or whatever it is,

the new EV from there. The electric, yeah. Or any other electric car That is good. Right? Including another Tesla. Yeah, I might even get like a Model X or Model S or something.

Is there an S? I don't know. I don't know what. I don't know who makes what. I shouldn't be allowed to talk when I'm sick. Anyway, my point about this whole guy Fierry thing at Stallone's house.

I guess my assumption was that he had a full-time catering staff and that's probably not true. And I think that's where my head was at. I was like, oh, Stallone with his own personal catering stuff. He probably hired for it. Yeah, he probably just hired it out for the party.

Why wouldn't you? You wouldn't have people living there like freaking Downton Abbey, wait for a... We're going to have another party this weekend. You guys, but it's not, That doesn't work that way. Are you hungry?

Are you guys hungry? Oh, shit. For Scott. A quick call from Dayton, Ohio. Speaking of things in Ohio. Eating all the chocolate. Anyway, he has this to say. Guys, for the morning stream, I'm in Dayton, Ohio, and I have to make a delivery to Springfield, which I meant now that.

And I just want to make it clear because I don't want Ohio to become another Florida. As far as the eye can see right now, there is nobody eating any dogs or any cats or any kind of pets. I just want to make that clear. Love the show, though. Thank you. To most normal thinking people, we knew this was true. Yes, exactly. We know that you don't eat pets and that nobody's eating pets and that it's horseshit, especially because it's all been debunked 50 times over.

Exactly. Yeah. I'm happy to hear from people on the Grand in Ohio, though. That's nice. I get to talk to Rob Dunwood over the week. an amazing dude who lives in Columbus and I wanted to say

you're not eating cats, are you there Rob? And he would have said no but I didn't ask him. I don't want to assume. It's better to assume none of this is being said and we all move on with our lives. It's so stupid. All right. Brian, yeah, we should play

a little tad Pooley feud. What do you think of that? I can't think of a better idea in your current state, mental state than to play a game that requires you to think on your feet. Yeah, I feel like I'm really asking for trouble here, but we'll find out shortly.

Oh, that's weird. They're eating the four-way chili. They're eating it. They're eating all the four-way chili. Spaghetti with chili and ground beef poured on it. I am in the wrong group. I just added him to our plate. There we go. Here we go. Sorry, Monica.

All right, he's coming in hot. All right, let's do this thing. Here we go. Right here. Join us in welcoming Brian Dunaway to the program for some Tad Pooley feud. Hi, Brian. Oh, hi, Sicken, Brian. Hello. How are you, man?

What's going on? I'm doing good. I was just listening to y'all's conversation about how much to sell out for anything. And I'll just say this. Whenever Elon Musk pops up in my X feed. Yeah. if it's something that he feels that I feel his stupid statement

I just post to him I'm so disappointed in you and then I just move on if he wants to pay me to stop doing that that's fine okay all right but if he says something like if he's talking about you know SpaceX or stuff it's like hey we're celebrating this and I'm like cool man

I don't favorite it but I'm like cool but if he's got something stupid to say that I don't want to hear. I just do that. I'm so disappointed in you. But what if he offered you a billion dollars to never do that again? Would you do it? That's fine.

That's fine. Just let him know that I'm still disappointed. Let me get one last one out. I'm still disappointed. Right, right. The honest truth is, the price which he would have to buy my love would then make me, you know, kind of rich. And I'd probably like him just fine then. Like, hey, dude, how you doing?

What's up, Rich brother? Yeah, what's up? brother of rich richness um all right i have some good news uh an irish girl was fourth caller today oh what's the good news the good news is dairy is a great show or dairy girls is a great show you guys should all watch it's fantastic and uh we'll see if this ring through works if not we have somebody who's right behind her uh we're ringing we're ringing we got the rings of uh of irish ringage irish spring we call the irish spring and uh yeah it's It'll clean all 2,000 of your parts.

Come on, Claire, answer your phone. Oh, is it lever 2,000? Is there really 2,000 parts to wash? I've been cutting some coiners, if so. I've got to get in there. Some pointers. You've really got to, you've really got to break it down, like, you know, inside a knuckle, outside knuckle. I'm doing maybe 10, 10 tops.

I need some 10 soap. I wonder how, I mean, that's actually a good question. How many parts, how many things can designate as a part? part on a human. Anything that pretty much sits in a crease and sweats all day. I'm definitely hitting that. Well, you're hitting those, sure. But what about, like, is each of your eyelashes a part? Or as

an eyelash as a whole? If you're going to get to 2000, you've really got to get granular. Well, once you get into the hair, I mean, boy, I mean, you're really racking up the points at that point. Yeah. Thanks a lot. I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot about the hair challenge. I apologize. Well, let's see. You got to think

of these things. Those follicles are still there, though, right? You still got the follicles? I still have Follicles. Follicles, yeah, I do. And I have pores. Yeah, each individual pour. That's good. We got some, oh, listen to this.

You hear this? That's kind of Irish. Hi. My voice, what's the crowd? What's up? It's Claire. Listen to her over there, being a wackadoo. What's going on, Claire?

It's nice to hear your voice. How are you? I'm good. I was just outside enjoying some sunlight, so I ran inside just so my neighbors don't. I think I'm weird. You know what? It's actually sunny day, but it's being good. I was going to ask you if, because my impression is, and I don't know this is wrong.

Obviously, it's wrong because it's, because obviously you guys are there and living fine. But by all the movies you see showing Ireland, you know, banshees have been a share and all that kind of stuff, it just looks wet and overcast all the time. Is it not true? No, it's not true at all. I mean, it has been like a really wet summer this year. but um no like usually we get like really good weller in like august um out of like the whole summer or like when everyone goes out the school and on like early september so yeah the sun's come out but just my tomatoes are starting to ripen and i've been really hoping that i don't end up with like

a whole bunch of green tomatoes so there you go yeah you can pick a little we picked the right time of year to go because we were there the first week of september 2021 think it was and um we had we were there for eight days and only one of those days was their rain and it was when we were back in Dublin the night before we were leaving the next day. I was like, oh, I was hoping you're going to say, the only day it rain is when we hung out with Claire. When we saw Claire,

yes. What a shade. That looks like rain. When we drank Claire under the table. That's right. Well, it's good to have you here. We're going to play a game. We're going to try to win you something cool today, but we can't do

it without Brian's rules. So Brian, take it away. Oh, me and my damn rules. It's time to play the Tadpoly feud. I've surveyed the Tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brangna have to predict the answers that they gave us. It is their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Claire, your all-caps

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 Blacktail and Astral Ascent. Both of those games donated by Wesley. Astral Scent Astral Asdraal Scent is awesome.

Very cool game. reviewed this on core not long ago it's fantastic it's really good very good excellent um all right let's give you guys uh your topic and then we can see who gets uh sadled or who gets uh clara's help uh for the it's rude come on what what what who huh all right put your hands on your buzzers and give me your best answer to this name an irish just kidding what's a movie that what's a movie line that people always get wrong. Scott.

Use the force, Luke. Okay, show me, use the force, Luke. It's not on there? No. I thought it was. I thought he, what is the line that, uh... No, right, right. I want to say, Luke, I am your father.

Maybe that's what I meant. Show me, Luke, I am your father. Shit. Number one answer on. I think I mixed them up. I mixed them up. I think you absolutely did. Yep.

I did. All right. But I think, you know, I do think you're right, though. I think in Star Wars, does he actually say use the force loop or does he just say use the force? Something like that. Anytime you add loop to it never probably. Yeah. What's his big saying it?

McGinnis, Alex Gennwick. Yeah, when it's over his, well, it's over his force communication while he's about to shoot the two things. He's flying the X-wing and shoot it into the hole. The Death Star's poop hole. The one hole. I got Claire.

What's up Claire? Team Claire away. That's right. We're going to kill it. And this is going to be a really tough one. I thought we're going to get some strikes pretty quickly. Because what's the movie line that people always get wrong? Personally, I think I always get them right.

I just happen to know that Luke I'm your father, which I said for years. And someone said, that's not how it is. And I'm like, what else is? are then. Yeah. It's complicated. That's the number one answer by by a resounding number by the way. We had 518 responses to the survey and that was

nearly half of 244 people with some variation of Luke I am your father. There's got to be a first, right? For that much? That's got to be a first for that many. Pretty rare that it happens like that. Yeah. I think we should just say famous quotes from movies and just hope

we've been getting them wrong is what I think. What do you think about that? I was thinking there's like the Forrest Gump one, but I don't know it wrong. I just know a life is like a box of chocolates. Okay. I know what you're going to get. I like that. Actually, I think it is.

Mama always says life is like a box of chocolate. Yeah, yeah. I think he says more than that, right? Like he says it slightly differently. I think that's a good one. Do it. I agree with you. I know what love is.

Jenny, do it. I was always running. All right. Show me. Life is like a box of chocolates. Oh. Do we always get that one right? Number 18 or number 19 in the list.

People, I think, yeah, the people get that line right. I mean, the line is life is like a box of chocolates. But who knows what, how people might get that one wrong. Nobody wrote in and put in what the right answer is, right? Like for Luke I'm your father. He says, no, I'm your father. Right. Right, right, right.

No, I am your father. Ben never told you what happened to your father. You killed him. By the way, or is it from movies and TV? All from movies. Movies only, yeah. I mean, let me phrase it. I asked the tab to write movie lines.

Who knows what they're the question. I'll just make it easy for you. These are all from movies. All right. I'm going to go with, I'm not sure which one's correct, but the Jaws. line of oh we're going to need a bigger boat there's two things that happens with that and i hope

i'm not wrong about what i'm thinking of because sometimes people misattribute which actors said it and they think that what's his beak from uh mr hollins opus that guy they think he said it but it wasn't him it was the other guy's name i can't think of sequest dsv guy yeah that guy uh 2010 the year we make contact guy right but i but i but i but i But I still think that quote is, I just don't know if I'm saying it, right? So I think we say we're going to need a bigger boat, but it's different. Yeah. And believe me, if you give me either the correct quote or the incorrect quote, I'm going to give you.

Or a quote that sounds similar to it. Right. Exactly. As long as I know what you're talking about. It's the difference between Use the Forest Luke and Luke I'm your father is a much bigger one than bigger boat. Right, right. Bigger boat quote. Show me, we're going to need a bigger boat.

Ooh. Number three. So already you're winning three points to one. The line is you're going to need a bigger boat. And he's talking, he's just talking directly to Clint. Squint. See, I still have it wronged in my head. I am part of the problem, I guess.

Well, I think, and I might be, maybe I'm remembering it wrong. No, no. Yeah. No, I think you're, you must be right. Okay. A bigger boat was involved. Another one would be, uh, Isn't there a...

It's hard, isn't it? It's just like, I know a lot of quotes, but I think they're all right. Okay, how about this one? There's, in my head, the misquote, and again, I'm not sure I've got the misquote of the real thing, but in Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lecter at one point says, he does that, hello, Clarice. And I think that's not right. I have some memory of this that that isn't right. I'm not sure what is right, but I'm going to throw it out there.

So the hello, Clary's from Silence of the Lambs. Show me, hello, Clarees. Number 10 answer on the word. He says, he says, good evening, Clarice. He never actually says, hello, Clary's. How old, Clarice? Or does he say, oh, hi, Clarice. Yo, Clarice, what's up?

All right, another famous one. This came up with Tom when he and I watched this movie. new cell who just came to me Casablanca there's a there's the uh oh yeah play it again Sam or Sam play it or play the music again there

play it some more Sammy Sam boy I can't remember Oh don't do that He says play it Sam Play as time goes by or something like that There you go Oh really?

That's way different than I thought Sorry go ahead Yeah show me play it again Sam Oh geez Yep number two answer on the board Damn. 15 to 1 in Scott's favor. Cloudy COVID-Minds, Scott, pulling out the, pulling out the clothes.

I'm just going to make one up because I don't know, and it's because I just saw it. She probably said it, though. Okay, I just saw aliens again with the kids a couple weeks ago. And when she puts on the big suit, get away from her, you bitch. that's what I was going to say I love it Get away Right

Get away Stay away Anyway whatever it is Whatever it is Move along That one Move along bitch Get to stepping

Get to stepping bitch Get to step in bitch Get out the way Bitch get out the way All right Show me Whatever the thing is Ah

Damn it I think somebody said that. I don't know. I mean, I think the line really is stay away from her, you bitch. Oh, right. What I say, did I do get away? Um, or maybe get away from her, you bitch, stay away from her. In my head, it's get away from her, I think. Yeah. Uh, there it is. It was a one person said it, so tied for 24th place. Okay. It's on the list. I have an answer. Claire's like yeah, yeah, forget. Stephanie and a petz confirms it's getaway. Okay. Okay. All right.

What do you got, Claire? You got one, Claire? Get one. So it's not, that's not a knife, this is a knife, it's, that's not a knife, that's a knife. That's good. You're going to go crocodile Dundee. Crocodile Dundee. You ever want to hear an Irish person doing an Australian accent? We just, we just did it. I didn't think I wanted to, but now that I've heard it, I definitely wanted to.

I'm subscribing right now. My brother's moved to Brisbane. Wow. Okay. Show me, that's not a knife. That's a knife. Ah, long along the way. Yep, that is truly aligned.

One person said it, so tied for a 24th place. But that is correct. It's always remembered as this is a knife. And it's not, uh, yeah. Okay. There's a good answer, though, Claire. It was just not tabooly. This is going to be a weird.

weird one. It is my turn, right? Yeah. It is your turn. Brain fog. There's a, I don't even remember the movie. Al Pacino yells it. He says,

Oh, we just watched a recently on film sec. Did we? Or he goes, I'm out of order. You're out of order. Oh, no, we did not watch that one. That one rings of men. Oh, is that what it is? Because that rings of it.

Yeah. Wait. This whole court is out of order. I don't remember what it was. But whatever that was from. That line I feel like gets misquoted. All right. Show me, I'm out of order.

You're out of order. This whole corn is out of order. Epe, beep, beep, up, or... Ah, shit. Machine is out of order. Damn it. No, nobody said that one. Really?

Weirdly enough, yeah. So I don't know. It's even a thing. It may not even be a thing. I just hear it in my head. I hear him yelling. It's just such a... Such an Al Pacino line.

I thought, well, maybe we get that one wrong. Fair enough. Claire, I, go ahead. Six answers are still on the board. You guys are losing 15 to 1. So let's get some points. So player can get a game. I, I have one that I never get right.

But I'm always trying it. Yeah, I'm always trying it. I think it's, do you feel lucky? Punk. Oh, that's a good. Will. Oh. Huh?

That's a good one. I don't know exactly the line, but I never know exactly right. Dirty Harry. That's just one. Yeah. Are you feeling lucky? do you feel lucky punk is that it that sounds like one that seems like one that would get confused people probably get that one I always get it confused is trying to say it yeah but I'll let you make

it's our last X is that good clear you want something else um because frankly I don't give a damn we could use that one too yeah yeah that's I'm looking like a chat room and some of them are saying that oh are they okay okay wife Monica oh I should have looked at you know what are you going to use which would you suggest what do you think Scott what does I bet both of those are good choices we'll go for the first one then

we're lucky you're asking yourself do you feel lucky well do you punk show me whatever people get that one wrong yeah do you feel like number pump number eight punk do you feel lucky pump

You feel lumpy? Do you feel lumpy pump? Do you feel lumps? You might need to go to the doctor. Yeah, if you got a lump, we'll get a pump. That's right. All right. Very good. Well done. That puts you guys within striking distance.

But you only got one strike left, so. And he did just say both of those were good. I mean, I don't think we give a damn. I think we should go, but what do you think? I don't think you give it, whatever it is from whatever. Yeah, gone with the wind. Sure. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, geez. Classic. Come on. Classic. Poor Jeannie is like, oh, they don't have fun with the win. All right. Generation dash.

Show me, frankly, my dear. I don't give a damn. Oh. Yeah, there you go. Number nine on the board. That is enough to guarantee the win. Still have four answers left on the board. By the way, you remember when I said they're all from movies?

Looking over one of these might have been originally uttered on a TV show. Oh, originally. Be me up, Scotty. Beem me up, Scotty. Oh, you know what? Is that not what they say? No. Scottie, beam me up.

It's something like that. Yeah, I've heard that one before. I think that's safe. That's what I was thinking of before you said, oh, no, it's not TV shows in the film. But my name's Brian. Tell me if I shouldn't go with that. Well, even if you've already won. You've already won.

Don't get greedy. Yeah. I'm a greedy girl. I'm a greedy, greedy girl. All right. Show me. Beam me up, Scott. Socky.

Sorry. Look at that. Yeah. Sorry about the mislead. Hopefully, Scott, that didn't steer you away from using that one. Not at all. like, oh, wait, that is from a TV show. I didn't even think of it, so you guys

are good. Well done, geez. Left on the board, still, still, still, uh, choices to be made. You could clear that, you guys. Tom patiently waiting. Oh, is it that's the only mistake.

It's the only mistake I've made. Yes, thank you. We love you, Tommy. I'm trying to think of airheads quotes. There's an airhead's quotes. I can't, that I'm always used it, but for some reason I can't I know exactly the one I know exactly the one

Everyone's favorite movie airheads Let's get that going Never seen it Actually kind of like air It won't do that way It's a good time Oh oh oh Fly you fools

Instead of run you fools Oh yes I always get that one wrong Well no they say run you fools Instead of fly you fools Right I thought was fly you fools Yeah

Fly you fools is correct Run you fools is wrong That's what I meant That's what I said It was like fly you fools But instead people think Yeah I mean If you watch his hair

It flies up You wouldn't get that with the run right yeah yeah all the hobbits can fly secret like you know that they you know it just would have ruined the yeah they got they got the yeah it's the hair the best part of it is the hair like a spider's the best part of it is his hair blows to the side when he says fools yeah all right fly you fool show me you can't see show me fly you fools But let's see That also had one vote

So tie it again for 24th place I'll give Scott another chance Because I did accidentally Give him his first X For his Star Wars quote Which is just a Which is just a coin flip

To see who's going first So Scott if you You know You got a chance If you want to run the rest of the board here You can take these prizes away from me Well actually when you're on the board She gets it anyway right

well that's true actually yeah but if he just gets six and five for example well if he gets six and five for example he takes the prize away from claire right out of her irish little hands good luck covid head yeah i don't think it's going to work i'll give it my best here let's see i looked in the chat and i noticed someone said something i was going to say earlier but i thought i was wrong i'm gonna trust in stephanie and a pett's and say houston we have a problem from that's uh apollo 18 or 19 18 show me 16 what was it 19 19 19 19 apollo 19. Nailed it. Apollo 13. 13? Yeah. Okay. I can't remember. Show me, Houston, we have a problem. Okay, now things are fair.

Yay. What is it? Houston, we've had a problem or something like that, I think is the line. Number 19, no, I'm sorry, number 13 in the list. So pretty close to the top 10 here. Let's look at the last ones here. Number four, magic mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest one of all? People usually say mirror, mirror on the wall. Number five. Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. Oh, that's a good one.

What does it usually say then? The actual line is, Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. Oh, there you go. Maybe it's flipped the other way. Okay. Weird. It's so weird. You do hear feeling a lot.

Maybe she doesn't say Toto, but she might just say, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas. Well, now she does say Toto. Yeah, I can't remember. I think it's the feeling thing that gets people confused. I think so. She's always talking to that effing dog, so I believe it. the dog never talked back. Number six, if you build it, they will come. Oh, I almost did that. If you build it, he will come.

Because you're trying to get, he's trying to get, we always, okay, let me tell you about that movie, what happened there? People think the they is like the big crowd so you can make your baseball stadium pay for itself and he won't have to worry about cutting down all his cornfield for it. And so it's easy in our heads to think, to have that swap because really all this is about is his dad coming back. That's it. It's just getting his, dad back there exactly yeah oh that movie's great number so just a few more of these number 11 that would have gotten you a free guess badges we don't need no stinking badges oh that's a good treasure treasure the Sierra Madre the actual line is badges uh I don't have to show you any badges we don't

need to show any badges we don't we don't need any stinking no stinking badges yeah exactly never heard um do or do not there is no try people apparently get that one wrong all the time uh someone just in our circle gets this one Bad dates, Indy, bad dates. All of us. Greed is good. Here's looking at you, kid, from the end of Casablanca. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Oh, love that. I'll be back. I don't know who's getting that wrong. It's three words. Who's getting, I'll be back wrong. I don't know. Merry Christmas, should or was full. Yeah, that's a good one.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could. They didn't stop to think if they should. All right, all right. People want to throw a third all right in that, I guess. That's hilarious. Let's see. Coffees for closers. I don't know if there is or not. I think the light might just be all right, all right. Yeah, I don't know.

Oh, weird. He puts an addictive chemical in it that makes you crave it for a nightly jackass. Line really is smart ass, but I don't care. Hey, Dr. Jones, no time for love. Hey, Dr. Jones, sometimes for love. because of you guys misquoting things. Yeah, it's a lot of us. We will fully admit that we've caused a lot of this.

I am and always shall be your friend. I keep getting older, but they stay the same age. I pity the fool. I'll get you my pretty. I'll make him an offer he can't refuse. Is that your friend in the wood chipper? I do that wrong. This one I love, even though it's from a TV show, it's a misprint, which is not as funny as it's a typo.

Yeah, it's a typo. It's so much better to say it's a typo. It's so much better. Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me? No, not the bees, no, not the bees. My eyes, arg, arg, arg. Nobody puts baby in the corner. Apopar Murphy, open the pod day doors, rotissory surfboard.

I don't know. I've never heard someone get that line that wrong before. Let's see. Shall we play a game? Take off you, Hozer. Tomorrow is another day. What we have here is a failure to communicate. What's in the box with great power comes.

great responsibility. Who gets that wrong? I don't know. And there's another one, you can't handle the truth, which I... He says that. It's what he says.

Yeah, he does say that, right? I mean, somebody wrote that entire exchange between Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. I think they get it right. It's, you know, you want answers. I want the truth. You can't handle the truth. I think at some point on your list,

people just get down to famous quotes and hope that they're wrong. And hopefully they get it wrong. And finally, you ever lose your car keys? You never do you? I get that time. I love how many of those are things we do wrong.

That's amazing. Yes, it comes down to us. So congratulations, Claire, you get these games. I'm going to copy and paste them into our little discussion. Next to your lovely face. Next to my lovely face. Thank you for sending me a screenshot of my lovely face. Stay out of trouble.

Don't be, don't be. Go have a potato and whatever you do there, bye. Brian Dunaway, it's always good to have you here, man. We'll be back this Friday. I guess it's already Wednesday because of the days I took. off. But Friday, we get together you and I, and we talk about shining force. One and two. The shining force.

Are you trying to get us sued? The shining force. Yeah. The shining force from the Genesis. Huge fan of the Shining Force series. It was as close as Sega would ever get to sort of flying close to the sun that was Final Fantasy. And it kind of holds up on its own. People love those. I never played it.

I am having a blast. We're only covering one and two because the series is freaking huge. We'll get to the other later. If you live in Japan, you've got miles and miles of games to play. Yeah. You've got the Sega CD with three freaking chapters sessions. We only got the first one. Yeah, that's all we got. Thanks a lot in Japan. Thanks, jerks. Anyway, Brian, I'll see you then for that. Kiss our butts by. No. No, you. Really jam that one in there. We are going to take a break when we come back from this break. Tom Merritt will join us for some tech time discussion. We also have recommendals after that. So, stick around. Brian, play us a song in the meantime. Yeah, Timmy Myers

Timmy Myers wrote in and said Dear Sonic and Boom I've been listening to Scott since he went on B-O-L Was that loud and announced full-time frog pants Approximately a thousand years ago By the way, today

20th anniversary of the coining of the term podcasting Whoa Who saw that on threads today Who said it? It was that Everyone wants to attribute it to Dave Weiner or

Adam Curry But it was it was um it's a guy with a french name i can't remember his name but patrick bejean on this date 20 years ago that's right really really really really um anyway uh i wanted to request a song for an upcoming indie in the middle one of my best friends puts out independent music under the name you citizen you citizen and he has a new single out called mind on a child of the late 80s and early 90s i would say his style lands somewhere between the cure and sponge recently he moved his family cross country back to his hometown. I've been missing him. To me, Mind On

captures the feeling of needing a change and the uncertainty that goes along with it. Here's defining what we're all looking for, signed Timmy. Well, this is great. Yeah, this is a brand new single, like he says from his friend who performs under the name You Citizen, and the song is called Mind On. It's enough to stay in this world on me play, enough to tan me out. Hard enough to think every day that I wake in someone else's house. It's another day with a mind on escape enough to take me around. Leave it on today

You don't crash anyway At least you trot it down Maybe something that I see one day But just a illusion that is on delay A more scared of moving to a scary place Indeed Wake me up and give a violent shame Unselected with a consolation dream

Just accept that it's a winner's game to leave Driving up the way with the world on display Enough to calm me down Quiet in your veins in its place of smile on this town Disappearing body without much feelings Look at everybody they talk so real Not so ready to talk to

We'll see so many ass Not so ready to talk to We see so many ass That's so ready to talk to We see so many ass Not too ready to talk to This he so many us Maybe something that I see something that I see one day

Just illusion that is on delay You're more scared of moving to a scary place indeed Nice enough to stay in this world I'll replay enough to tap me out Leave it all today, it'll crash anyway Leave it all today, it'll crash anyway Who's to try to do?

A lot of women like this sexy look. It never goes out of style, but you have to have a perm for it. Salad in a pastime? You filthy perver. All right. Tell me one more about Timmy's friend. Sure. That is Mind On by You Citizen from a brand new single released by Timmy's friend. That's fantastic. Timmy's buddy. Timmy's friend. All right. We're going to get a, whoops. Hold on. Caps lock. Get off. Here we go. We're going to add Tom to the call. He's been sitting in the, in the, in the,

in the wings, very patiently, uh, waiting for his turn. And now he's here. We want Tom. And we want him, uh, more than ever. Because how are we supposed to navigate this technology landscape without Tom Merritt and his insights? Yeah. Tom Merritt. It's good to have you here. How are you? Hey, thanks. How are you feeling, man? Oh, you know, it's, uh, day five or whatever. Or whatever. No, it's not even that. When I get, what did I, it was Saturday. I'm doing all right. I'm doing better than I was. I'm hanging in there. I'm hanging in there.

Yeah. It's not way less. I was like I was telling everybody earlier. It's way less this time than the 2022 incident. That was freaking nasty. Were you able to get the booster before it hit you or is this your booster? This is my booster, unfortunately. Oh, that's true.

And I'm being told. You like it, but this one is mine. My doctor is saying wait until you got to wait three months or so to get the whatever's. Now you got to wait. Yeah. But, you know, it's good. I got my own. Brian's got a little bit of a three month buffer as well.

You know, we got our, we got nature's. booster. That's right. Exactly. We don't need no sneak in artificial Pfizer booster. Homegrown. That's right. Made right here in America. Anyway, well, it's good to have you here, man. I don't, I assume that like usual, there's something brewing in tech. So what's going on?

Sure. Well, first of all, Dr. Calhoun in the chat got the name for you, Ibit. Danny Greg Guar. Yeah, that's the name I was trying to remember. That's the name I was trying to remember. I knew somebody French. And apparently Ben Harris, Camer's Lee used the term podcasting for something else in February. Yeah, yeah. But the one that applies to us, and it was on the iPod or Dev mailing list, that the Dan... And Camerasley was referring to people who were taking their iPods and just casting them out the window because you two forced an album on there or something.

If you cast a pod upon the waters and it comes back to you. Yeah. It was never a year to begin. That's the whole phrase, yeah. That sounds right. well anyway a lot of wet iPods back then after that callum came out well YouTube's got an interesting new thing there's they've got a little event going on in New York today they are adding a new feature called hype so it's kind of going to sound like the like button but once you hear the restrictions on it you'll understand why it's separate the hype button will show up for the first seven dates after a video is created and only on channels with fewer than 500,000 subscribers. A viewer will only be able to press a hype button for three videos in a week.

Actually, three times in a week. I guess you could hype the same video three times, but you only get three hype clicks in a week. Hype buttons get different points based on how big the channel is. The smaller the subscribers, the more points in your hype button. And then there's going to be a hype leaderboard that everybody can see with the top 100 hyped videos at any given moment plus a personalized hype section for you that are like these are videos from the top hyped videos that we think you would like do you know if this applies to

live stuff or is it just archival YouTube video I think it's going to apply to everything but yeah no good question if it would apply a live ahead of time right obviously after you're done being live it would apply yeah but yeah I think it's more for on-demand stuff just just from my reading of that, but I'll see if I can find out some more clarification. But the idea is to give lesser-known channels a little more visibility in the algorithm. I think that's a good thing. There's been, you know, this challenge for a long time, Twitch as an example, even though it's not YouTube, but I think it's a fair comparison.

They always reach out to you when you're in the top 1% of streamers and say, hey, congratulations, you're in the top 1%. I've gotten that email. Guess what? I don't do that much stuff on Twitch, but I'm still somehow in the top. top 1%. What that tells you is that there's massive streamers on one end that way, you know, they're the big numbers getters. And then there's a ton of long tail that's still in that 1%. And then there's everybody else who gets hardly anything. I think YouTube's probably

same, same deal. And it's weighted similarly. So adding a feature that will give potentially smaller, smaller YouTubers a chance to get noticed, I think is always good. And it's good for YouTube, too. Because, you know, they want, what do they want? They want ad revenue. How do they get it? More eyes on more stuff. So, why not? And getting, getting people to feel less like, oh, I just always get the same things, right? Like, it's, even when the algorithm is working well at exposing you to new stuff, it tends to be trying to expose you to popular stuff. And this is, this is their way of solving for that without having the algorithm just spit out crap. They're saying like, hey, here's the stuff. stuff we know you like and is really popular, but if you want to venture outside your bubble a little bit, here's some other stuff. Yeah, I think it's good. I think this seems like a step in the right direction. It is interesting that you can't just do unlimited hipes all the time. I think that makes sense. Otherwise, what's the point? It's just like likes or something. And you can't really base everything on likes or dislikes. So yeah, I'd like, I want to see how it goes in practice.

Is it now or is this just rolling out or when, when do we get this? Yeah, that's a good question. I was unclear on exactly when the hype button will show up based on what I've read so far. But I think it's launching now. Okay. That doesn't mean you'll see it now. You know how those things sometimes they take days or even weeks to roll out. But anyway, something coming soon if you don't see it today. So, hey, everyone, give FrogPants and DTNS.

YouTube's a hype click. I want to know what this looks like What's the little button going to be like a little guy fiatty Oh, I love it yelling gangster Click here, gangster Oh no, my sunglasses fell off the back of my head Hipe Hipe!

I love it And gives him some much needed revenue Because you know that guy just doesn't get enough money He's having to take catering jobs just to get by Over at Stallone's house That's called a callback everybody Well this is fantastic news if you're a YouTuber And also, there are plenty of other news items that will be covered today on the daily tech news show.

I will be back and on it today. And Tom, as always, we'd like to give you a little chance to talk about anything else you got going on. How's your book going? We're there. Aren't we? Are we there? We're just about there. Tom's new book.com.

I tend to talk about it only here these days. I need to talk about it elsewhere. So go tell someone about it for me because I know all of you who were going to buy it, probably I've already bought it by now. but if you go to tom's new book.com and you go to unbound and search for uh synced s y n ced uh you can you can see how we're doing uh i think what they want to push us over the edge is somebody's company uh to jump in on one of those better because you get benefits if you buy multiple copies or if you back at a higher level you can you can get one-on-ones with me you can get q and a that that will appear on d tns uh and there's one in there where like i'll appear on a video conference and and and talk to your company and so I think they're hoping somebody will jump in on that. So maybe

talk to your boss and get them to jump in. That's all on Unbound or Tom's new book.com. Fantastic. It's Tom Merritt, everybody. You know him, you love him and you'll see him here every Wednesday. So tune in for that. Have a fantastic week. We'll see you later today. Thank you. Bye now. Thanks. 2 p.m. Mountain time.

You weirdos, tune in. All right, Brian. It is time for us to do Nicole because Nicole, sorry, that sounded terrible. It is time for us to call Nicole. Let's see if we do recommendals. Yeah. How about that? No Randy today. He's got a meeting, big stuff going on at work, but we do have Nicole. We got three recommendals for you today. I can't wait to talk about them. Let's get into it here, here. Well, what do you recommend?

Yes, that music indicates it's time for us to do recommendals. Nicole's still ringing, but she should join us any moment now. Any moment. There she is. Hi, Nicole. How are you? Hi. I'm, I cried. You cried. Why'd you cry? Are you all right? I watched the ending of my recommend. Oh.

Did you do it right before the show? Yeah. All right. I started. I started it last night. And then I only had and then got busy with the kids. And so I just. How's Mark doing? Because Mark and I have been COVID. but he's from afar. Yeah, yeah.

He's doing a lot better. Yeah. He's doing a lot better. Same. Is he the wood coffer right now? The wood coffer. He's not really coughing. Oh, good.

Yeah. Yeah, no, wait until he's like 75 and then he'll be, he'll get the wood cough. That's what they tell you. If you don't, if you don't have the good, and I know he does, he has got good filters and all that stuff. Oh, yeah. But Kim's dad not, he's a big woodworker type dude, has been his whole life, but he did not do enough of that stuff when he had a shop. And now he's constantly just going. yeah all those fine potter particles get in your lungs not good be careful out there

respirator be the wood be the wood respirator not the wood yeah clogged up laner anater there you go don't inhale the wood never inhaled uh well it's good to have you here we're going to get right into it and find out why nicole is sad by the end of her recommendable we're going to start with brian and uh he has a little clip here that you can set up before i play it I do. This is a TV series that was on Apple TV, and you're listening to a woman, receive a robot. Oh, my. All right, here we go. Still, our research shows that robots can be of great comfort for people in need of companionship. I'm fine.

Think of Sonny as a pet. I don't want a pet. I don't want a robot. I hate robots. May I ask why? Because they're creepy. Oh. But robots are expressions of the creators. Sonny was created by your husband You do not find Master creepy

Not till now I hope that is not true Susie son The master I know Is a good man And I believe he would take comfort In knowing you have Sunny Please Master would take great comfort

Okay fine I'll keep it Just tell me how to turn it off getting Rashida Jones vibes. Is that who that is? That's exactly who that is. Yeah, it's Rashida Jones. Oh, this is the TV show.

Oh, you haven't heard of this? Oh, you haven't heard of this? Oh, it's great. This is called Sunny. And it is an Apple TV Plus deal, a new series. Basically, Susie, Rashida Jones, is a woman whose husband and son disappear or lost in like a plane crash. She doesn't really look like Rashida Jones, though. She doesn't. No, you're right.

It's kind of, I don't want to call her scrubby, but I'm a scrubby. She does look old scrubby. She's playing a woman who's just recently grieving over the loss of her family. To me, it reminds me of how she looked very different to me in Silo, even though it's, maybe it's because she's being given dramatic stuff to do and it's just different than I'm used to or something. I don't know, but I really like her in these kind of roles. I enjoy them. And this is, what's great about this is, there's drama. but it's also kind of quirky comedy,

black comedy and sci-fi. This, this, and it's not me comparing it, but people are, you know, bringing up severance and silo in the same discussions as Sunny. And this is, I can see why. There's a very, you know, there's an overlying mystery. There is, there's some kind of weirdness. There's a, right off the bat, this robot.

is something that we don't have now. So there's kind of this leap in, in suspending disbelief of like, okay, well, I guess these kind of robots exist. So Susie is Rashida Jones. She, like you said, her husband and son are lost in a plane crash. And, but her late husband's company, works for robotics company, delivers this homebot to her, a little domestic robot named Sunny that, that has been programmed specifically by her husband, Masa, to cater to her every need.

And right down to knowing the things that she likes and dislikes, foods, activities, things like that, and very, very much devoted to her. Is it always called Sunny in the way that we would always call an Amazon Echo, the Echo, you know what I mean? Or the A word that we say, it's like that kind of product. Okay. All right. Well, oh, I search to say, no.

Like, is that the branding? Yeah, I'd take that back. This one specifically for Rashida Jones. This name's Sunny. Gotcha. Everybody else's homebot is named something else. Got it. You've got a bunch of, obviously a bunch of Japanese actors who've done things outside of the U.S.

Nobody really that you'd recognize, except for maybe this woman named Annie the Clumsy. She plays Mixie. And yes, her stage name is Annie the Clumsy. She is a YouTube star who does ukulele songs. a Japanese woman inspired by Flight of the Concordes and does kind of quirky, weird ukulele songs. Anyway, she's, she's a friend of Susie's who meets her after her husband disappears and kind of be friends her and helps her through it. Did you just give me a hint? Oh, no. If I did, I didn't mean to. Okay, after. I mean, they're they're searching for the body at the beginning of the series. And so I don't want to. I don't want to say one way or the other, but anyway, where things are at the beginning of the series.

There's probably a story behind why she's called Annie the Clomsy. Is it just her YouTube name? It's just her YouTube name. Yeah. She's super talent, and she's looked at some of her video. She's great, and she's very quirky and weird in this, so it's a good, a fit for the role. It's, there is a great, like, you. get this initial storyline of

Susie's now stuck with this robot that she doesn't want who basically is like a new pet that wants to do anything to make her happy and comfort her in this horrible time and all that and she just doesn't want it and he's a, or sozy's a very closed off person

and but then there's other things that come to light about around this thing like this this thing called the Dark Manual which apparently is like the the video game cheat codes that allow your robot to do

things that it wasn't programmed for. And you kind of uncover this whole mystery about that and whether or not Masa, her late husband has anything to do with it. It's really, really good. It pulls you in right away. And it's...

I've been meaning to watch this. I have it on my list. Yeah. It's again, it's one of those things where, oh, hey, cool, a new thing on Apple TV Plus. I'm sure it's going to be awesome. So I might as well add it to my list because I know eventually, especially if there's a sci-fi or a fantasy or a, um, a quirkiness to it. Then it's to be hitting those shows. Did you watch Sugar? I really did. I did. Oh, my God. Sugar. Brian loved Sugar. I loved sugar and I, I, I want people to watch Sugar without telling them any more about why they should watch Sugar, you know?

They're so good. Oh, I knew I'd seen, sorry, I was trying to figure out where I saw this Tetsu Watanabe, and I thought, is he Ken Watanabe's brother, is like, how do I know this actor? He's in, he's the deputy chief guy in, uh, shin Godzilla, the 2016 one that I just watched. He's great. He's really good in that. Yeah, I, everybody in here, all these, like, they get, they take Godzilla down by kicking him in the shins. They're like, they were like, it was like the death star version of, uh, of Godzilla. They're like, you know.

Right. Because shins are his weakness. Go for the shins! I actually kind of found that movie. I know there are going to be people who disagree with me, but Shin Godzilla is kind of unwatchable. I didn't love it, but he's great in it. So, anyway, that's good.

Phaselai in the chat room says the male co-late, so the guy who plays Masa, who you see in flashbacks throughout the whole series is the main protagonist in Amazon's Mask Rider Black, which I hadn't heard of, but there was a movie that was a nominee, a Best Picture nominee a couple years ago called Drive My Car. and so I knew him from that but that was that was of the nominees one I thought was super um

super powerful but also very long and and certainly not for everybody I remember you talking about that one that's you're the one that I was trying to think someone's talked to me about drive my car and I could not remember who it was yeah it was it was you know we had we watched all the nominees as we always do and is like oh this one's really good but man it's it's a hard sell to get somebody to watch a three-hour subtitled movie where it's it's less about the actions on screen and more about just the stuff that you don't see and the stuff that doesn't happen, right? Like the reactions of people and it's like it was good, but definitely not the, definitely not something I'd say is perfect for mass audiences.

He has the most Japanese name of all time, Hidiotoshi Nisha Jima. He totally does. Amazing. It's like 14 different names. names in one. I love it. And his character name, you know, Masahiko Sakamoto is like, you know, it just says, all right, well, let's go, let's pull out, we'll put every, everything into it. I love it. Anyway, it's really, the sunny is really good. Ten episodes, they're about 30 minutes long. I think, I hope it does well enough because there will be, there will need to be a season two. They wrap up things, but they introduce new things. So don't feel like, like, well, I'm going to wait to hear if they cancel it or if they release or if they get announced a season two. Don't worry about that. The season one is great, and it wraps up things, everything that you need wrapped up. I heard they just, this morning, they canceled that one you recommended, the Time Bandits, Nicole.

You like that. Yeah, one season and they're done. That's it. None of people finished it. None of us people finished it. That's how they evaluate them now. Who finishes? I feel like Tycoeatidi could use a win right now.

He could, right? after what was the blacks oh the sales yeah that didn't that guy cancel my my ship yeah yeah i didn't like that i didn't watch that either i mean apparently a lot of people liked it but not enough like you said not enough finished it that's the metric they use is um uh what we do in the shadows they're on their this next season's their final season that's right final season coming up she'd do another movie i heard they were gonna make I'll end it. Yeah. They've been talking about that forever. Nothing never happened with it. Yeah, they've been talking about it forever. In fact, when the first movie came out in 2014, 2015, they were talking about Rise Davies or whatever's name is. Rise, whatever it is. Is it Rees? I thought it was Reeves. Whatever it is. He was supposed to, they were going to spin that character out as werewolf character and do a whole other thing. And then they started the show. And so then the rumor switched to, well, maybe they're going to do a follow-up show about that. I'd love it if they did. But, I don't think that's happening.

But he's got like, it's not like he's having a hard time. Tyco Watiti's doing just fine. It's just, his last couple of projects have kind of gone away. And then the Thor movie wasn't that great, the last one. Yeah. I haven't seen yet. So I actually can't judge it. It wasn't good.

No, really wanted to be better. It was, man, lightning a bottle with Rag and rock. And then this one was like, all right. Because there was such a stark, funny. But I think it was, there was such a stark contrast to, Thor Ragnarok that it worked, but I've rewatched it. I'm like, well, maybe it wasn't as good as I really originally thought it was. He had elements, he tried to do the same amount of comedy elements.

Like Goldblum in Ragnarok, great, but for whatever reason, the Russell Crow thing and Love and Thunder was kind of a little bit of a miss. I feel like Goldberg's role in Ragnarok was his odd. addition and for chaos. Yeah, Jeff Goldberg. I love Jeff Goldberg. Jeff Goldberg. Did I think Jeff Goldberg?

But that's what we love. So don't ever stop doing that. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Please don't ever. I love it. Don Chito. Yeah, no, you're absolutely right.

You know. Anyway, there you go. Sunny Apple TV Plus, Rashida Jones is fantastic. And boy, if there's one reason to watch it, it's her because she's so good. Yeah, I love her. All right.

Excellent. Nicole, swing it over to you. Let's find out what made you cry. How do you want to do this one? Well, I will say this, so it's a documentary. I was smiling through the whole thing. I mean, it just brought so much joy to me that that is why at the end, I cried. Okay. If that makes sense. I get it. And so you found a clip. I was just going to give you this trailer because there was just too, there's too much in this documentary. There's too much good stuff in the documentary that I don't know what to pick. Is it a series or I guess we can talk about this after the clip, but is a series or a movie? It's just an hour and a half documentary. I need to watch it.

So go ahead, do the clip and we'll talk about it. I have thoughts. No worries. He had so many ideas and so many things you wanted to do. And so the idea of time, I think, was very much on Jim's mind always. I was what they called a creative assistant, an assistant that would travel. with Jim and shadow him 24-7. His ideas came from excitement in him.

He said to me that from a very early age, he had the feeling that he was here for a purpose and a reason. And that was largely what drove him. I feel like he came onto this planet, and he knew he had a mission and a calling. He's like, you've got to get it done. Got to get it done. His schedule was so packed.

New York to London, to Toronto, to L.A., his drive was superhuman. We have to keep going, and you get to go home. It was a restlessness. He was always doing. He was always creating. Here, a little Kermit in the background there. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we got to do this thing. Go get fuzzy.

Disney Plus, because Disney owns the Muppets. This is Jim Henson, Idea Man. And it came out four months ago. I've always professed my love of Jim Henson and the Muppets and Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal it really I really connected with it I didn't understand like the history of Jim Henson

I didn't know a lot so like one of his experimental films called Timepiece you can find this on archive.org just weird so weird and wonderful and I watch this and I go this is why I like Twin Peaks this is why I like David Lynch it's it's so cool to see and hear the history of how Jim Hanson made his ideas and at the time there were very new ideas and experimental ideas and And if Sesame Street hadn't happened, because he was a huge part of Sesame Street starting, if Sesame Street hadn't come along, he was in the process of creating, like, psychedelic, trippy nightclubs.

Really? Weird. I'll tell you, he loved, he just had so many ideas in his head. and the idea that he didn't have enough time to do it. This documentary, I feel like, touches on a few things of his personal life, but they don't dive deeper into it, but you can tell, I felt bad for his wife because she discovered him. She was into puppeteering.

She, and you kind of get a sense, you know, she was supposed to do the mother thing. have five kids and he was just he was just off doing his thing and she couldn't do that yeah um and she wanted to yeah so they have interviews with with his kids um and frank oz and it's just it's just a wonderful it's a wonderful kind of telling of the that i you know people are complex there's good and bad and they're not you're not you're some of all those things and and it was just a wonderful watch I loved it I learned a lot about him I shared with you um something I had never heard in in the discord chat the um they recommended what was it the I'm looking for it um

the Muppet musicians of Brent Brenham because he again he did a lot of things before the Muppet Show to try like the Muppet show was a huge success. It went for five seasons and he is the one that canceled the Muppet Show. Oh, I didn't know that. Wow. He went years trying to set to make the Muppet show with you know, people

just saying no, no, no, no, no. And they even talk about his stint on Saturday Night Live. And it's so funny. Oh, yeah, yeah. Not a good experience. You see, you know, when you see that new Saturday night movie, movie, the Aaron Sorkin thing, they show a clip of the person they've got playing Jim Henson saying, they're putting my puppets into compromising positions or something like that.

And it just sounds like, yeah, okay, that I totally believe. I didn't know that was supposed to be him. That's wild. I've seen the trailer for that. That's not out yet, or is it out? No, not out yet. I don't know when he comes out, but I'm really looking forward to seeing that. I am too.

Yeah. There's a lot of buzz around that. Well, this sounds like it's a... All of his history of, you know, things that we hold the air. We love labyrinth. But labyrinth was a failure. Yeah, it flop that week. Like, you really, I just, if you are, if you like any of what we're talking about,

I highly recommend you watch the documentary because it's just really kind of cool to see how all that happened. To get into the Star Wars stuff and, you know, becoming. So it shows George Lucas on the set of. Labyrinth as an executive producer. It shows, it doesn't really talk too much about Star Wars. In fact, I don't even think they brought it up. So, but you can tell he, they kind of insinuate like the worlds and the people that he worked with.

They talk about his weird, uh, his weird black and white coffee spots with puppets that are so funny where they pull each other up. So they talked about his, um, hate relationship with advertising. Yeah. and and how dark those ads were. Those were great. I freaking love those. I didn't have seen those,

maybe in the last couple years is all that I actually saw those for the first time. They are wild. I forget the name of them in the documentary. Like there's one with a gun. I mean, it's kind of crazy. And how like they did a thing called Sex and Violence on TV with puppets.

so weird. That's great. I love it. I love it so much. That's awesome. Sounds like it's a good one. Do you think that his psycho, his weirdo disco idea, or his psycho nightclub idea will ever, you know, see the light of day? Because Henson, production is pretty big now. They can pull something off. Probably not. I mean, who knows? Maybe it already happened with Andy Warhol and what was it, Club 36 or something like that. Studio 54. club 34 sorry i love that that's amazing where rule 34 happens all the time

no limits to club 34 i knew what i'm talking about right i knew exactly what you met totally the only thing that would have made that better is of you to call them randy longmore or some other name that would have been perfect uh well that's great i want to see this i have been wanting to see it now that i've got a friend who's recommending it i have excuse so time to watch it it's really good it's really really good i loved it all right um that's disney plus currently yeah disney plus and and timepiece which was one of his earlier experimental because they'll drop a whole bunch of stuff in the documentary and i'm just googling it going i've never heard of that i've never heard of it oh i got a list of stuff that i want to go watch now

that's awesome um okay let's now move over to another documentary that made me cry. I watched this before I got COVID. Not that it matters, but it's been sitting with me for a little more than a week. And so a little background on this. Every year around September 11th, I try to find good either documentaries or films or something that he mostly haven't seen, but sometimes I see things. Like I think Flight 93 is amazing. That film is incredible. But I will only see that right around the time of the anniversary. The anniversary. And I've seen some pretty good documentaries in the past. I think I found

the ultimate 9-11 documentary. And I'll tell you in a second why, but here's a little bit from that. I was a battalion chief in the first battalion. And my responsibility was for the tip of Manhattan. I'm the first wanted my family to be a firefighter. My father was a letter carrier in the post office. And

after I became a firefighter, a number of years later, my brother joined the fire department too. Kevin was three years younger than me. So it was always this looking up to the older brother. All right. It's a fairly innocuous clip. There's a lot of obviously high emotion stuff in this. It's a documentary about, you know, a very horrific day. What I like, about it is uh or i guess to tell you what it is first so it's called 9-11 one day in america uh this came out in 2021 i didn't know about it but it's a nat geo so we're on disney plus still a national geographic documentary and it's let's see how many episodes is it i believe it's six total um so it's not a single film it's a documentary is told in six parts and what i liked

about it and what really kept me riveted was the adherence to just really folks focusing on the moment-to-moment stuff. This isn't some big, broad look at geopolitical stuff or, in fact, you don't even see an image of George W. Bush, you know, like you always see of him in that classroom, getting told about the first hit and all that. You hear, they describe it, but there's no, they really don't get off the ground for much of this. They stay in New York. They stay a little bit in the Pentagon when that got hit, and they stay a little bit on the ground

in Pennsylvania with that plane flight 93 stuff but for the most part none this isn't about the broader world issues it was about people on the ground firefighters survivors guys that worked in a kitchen who can't i cannot to this moment still believe he made it out of there like the story these the stories these people tell absolutely insane um it's gut wrenching it's a great reminder of kind of how that all went and really who who stepped up and for the most part sacrificed themselves to try to save others there's a ton of that what i like about it the most though is it's not told in a sensationalistic way at all it's not narrated it's not somebody telling you how to feel it's not music telling you how to feel it's just people telling their stories and they have

some archival footage that is insane stuff i've never seen before um and they even say at the top of the thing. There's, there's footage in this that are just now coming to light. We're just now getting it. So some guy had a camera two blocks away, perfect shot of the first plane hitting the thing. And I've just never seen it before. I've thought I'd seen all of these. And now there's a ton. There's tons of stuff like being filmed in the stairwells on cameras that were recovered after the rubble, things like that. Just scary stuff. But extremely well told. And I like what they're called again? It's called 9-11 one day in America. highly recommend it to anybody who uh you know wants to understand what really went down that day

we're 24 years or 23 years later now so a lot of things can get forgotten um i do wish it was available in a more free format so more people could see it i know that not everyone's going have a stomach for this you don't want to be reminded of it i understand um but it's just something i do every year so this is a really really good one 9-11 one day in america fantastic stuff and it's over on Disney Plus. It's one of the Nat Geo. Nat Geo's kind of hit and miss for me. Like some of their docs are like,

whoa, that was awesome. That Mount Clymer one, the face. What was that called, Brian? We talked about it here. The guy that. Free Solo. Free Solo. One of the best documentary I've ever seen, right?

But then there's some on there where it's like, this is Attenborough Jr., this isn't great, you know. That Otter thing I recommend, was a new recommendal? somebody recommended. If it wasn't me, it was definitely somebody and we watched it because they recommended it. But it was the, um, the otter, love story, Molly and I think that was you. Yeah. That was

you. Yeah. That was so good and that's on that that geo thing as well. Yeah. So you have you have a real mix over there and not that any of it's just like bad, but some of it's just kind of history channel standard. There's nothing crazy about it. Yeah. This is cut above that. Real good stuff. So I got a weird

question for you. Go ahead. Did you happen to watch a doc it was a reality show it was in 2001 called murder and small town x no tell me more so it's it's a reality i mean i watched it was really good the winner of it was a firefighter and he actually did pass he was one of the first ones in at nine 11 oh wow so it's a reality competition it's a reality competition like a solve this murder kind of thing It solved this murder with a bunch of, you know, there's actors in the town, and they have the contestants trying to figure out who the murder is. It was actually a really well-done reality. That sounds kind of cool, actually, yeah.

I really enjoyed it. But, yeah, the winner was, he was a New York firefighter. Oh, yeah, here it is. I just saw it here, eight episodes. Yeah. Fox NBC. Okay. I mean, I just gave us on my list.

Yeah. Well, it's all right. it's the it's the it's a journey not a destination right so the friends we make along the way um it reminds me of like what escape rooms are right like you have or there was a dinner murder mystery parties kind of things but they put it into a tv reality show format so hosted by gary fredo i don't know who gary frito is but he hosted i don't i honestly had forgotten I have forgotten the name of the show, so I unfortunately just Googled like Firefighter 9-11 reality show winner. Wow.

And that's how I found it again. Yeah, this one is, it's interesting. This documentary that I watched has, you'll see one or two people and go, oh, I think I've heard their story before. And then you think, well, that's all this is going to be is stuff I've heard before. Oh, man, there are so many like, like stuff I've never heard. just strange people who never knew each other, run into each other on the 35th floor, figure out a way to get out, then the whole thing caves in on them. Somehow they survive.

Like it's a lot of survivor stories and then a lot of time spent talking about who didn't. And like that guy in the clip I played, his younger brother passed away. It's not really a spoiler. If you can call such a thing a spoiler, but it just gets more into the minute to minute of the day, less about here was what my life was like before here's here's what the government was doing like we didn't it it just really is like here's what people did like on the ground freaking people and it's it's very very good all right that's the uplifting part for sure yeah i mean it's kind of a weird uplift right it's like terrible but in that terribleness you like you like i i don't i'm not asking

for some i'm not asking for this to happen to anybody ever again Or anything even like this. I know this stuff happens in lots of countries all the time, but I do miss that coming together that people did. And that's very much on display. There were people like it gives me hope because there were people who were not shoving people out of the way to get past you. It was people helping everybody. One guy died and saved like 30 people in his death. Like constant stories like that. Was there probably somebody who panicked and pushed somebody over as they ran past them? Probably. I don't know. but most people that rallied and I like that anyway that's that that's over on

Disney Plus Disney Plus yeah Disney and Apple ruin the world Apple still owns a bunch of Disney anyway yeah

isn't Apple still they're still like on the board or Tim Cook's on the board anyway they're all making money off each other because of the Pixar thing

yeah at the time way back in the day jobs owned some huge share I don't know if that's still true anyway Did you hear that they're going to get rid of the Muppets theater? Oh, why?

Yeah, they're going to replace it with another something. Is it for Muppets or they, is it? No, it's, I think it's like, I want to say it was like a car or I don't know. Oh, geez. It was, yeah, I follow Muppet history on Instagram, which I love that account. He makes lots of funny Muppet means, but yeah, he did the, the, the, the, Dwight Shrut and Oscar

I think you already know so yeah unfortunately I heard it's going to be going away it's too bad they shouldn't do a movie to try to save it there you go yeah

so Luke in the chat says didn't Jobs create Pixar no but his money did yeah so didn't he I think he bought it from because I think Lucas owned it first and then he bought it from Lucas for like pennies compared to what it was worth really and then pumped it until you know toy story happened and all that so I think that's what it was

anyway that's it for today's recommendals if you'd like to follow them and click on links that'll take you directly to them you can do that over at quicktms.l i Nicole having you here has been a real pleasure anything you want to mention in the wood whispering world while mark is convalescing and getting better I don't know just released uh even though he's sick he released the video on how to we he refinished our pores so you go ahead on over to the wood whisper you'll see that you say floors I think he said pores he refinished our pores that would be weird no the floors okay floors makes sense to me poor pores would be uh I mean whatever my pores are a little bad I wouldn't mind a little finishing refinishing uh Nicole

have a great week to talk to you soon okay Brian it brings us down to one final thing before we leave okay yes i'm gonna go ahead and share that now here's what it is it's an email it's a strange one from tom not our tom different tom he gave us a link but is this is what he says in essence in arizona a thousand pound cow is termed an animal unit equivalent or an a ue one one goat equals 0.2 a ue or animal unit equivalent so doing the maths this must be a British person. Yeah. It takes five goats to make a thousand pound cow. So it does mean something here in Arizona. He says, he says Arizona, but maths, I mean, come on. Yeah. The whole thing is very confusing to me, but yeah. He says, if you end up in the southeast Arizona area for some reason,

we can introduce you to the community of goats and cows, enjoy Tom. I didn't know you measured goats like that. That's crazy. I didn't know that either. Well, at least in, yeah, in Arizona. That's so weird like it's um this feels like something that they would do in somewhere in europe right like oh yes we're using the animal the a ue the animal unit equivalent yeah so um or they'd be smart and just use metric like we should so you know we should use metric why don't we do that how many hogs heads to the beaver's tail do we need here in america right but why even and why even bring a cow into this why not just say a thousand pounds is the is the a ue and then say a 2,000 pound cow is to AUEs or 1,500 or whatever.

I agree. Why is the cow? Also, I don't know what the average cow weighs. Is that correct? An average cow weighs 1,000 pounds? Because that doesn't sound right. That seems too big. That's like half a Volkswagen or something.

It's certainly a 2,000 pound cow, very unusual. Yeah, very weird. Well, anyway, thanks, Tom, from southeast Arizona. You guys do things different. Yes. Let's get out of here. Frogpants.com slash TMS for all your needs. We're going to play a song now and take you home.

Brian, what do you got? Yeah. This is one that I've had in the queue for a little while here. Hugh wrote in and said, awesome new I to eye cover. I wasn't sure what this was because I see it as, depending on the font, one to one,

121, but it is I to I. And if you're familiar with where this comes from, it is the goofy movie theme song. That should help you right there. Any day's fine, posh, old timeling English accent. My lord, is it too earl like to request one fine fillet of fish betwixt bread? Hey, is it too early to get a fish sandwich? Never too late.

Never too early. That's right. Here is the band Magnolia Park from a 2024 brand new album, thanks for letting me know about this, called A Whole New Sound with I2i. Fantastic. We'll be back tomorrow with a Thursday edition of the show. We'll see you then. I've seen it out of the eye.

Say it hard to I do like For the insects I'm going to share With you Scott I figured the key with those Zapping brackets

Is you have to make sure That you come up at the fly from underneath, because they can always seem to know when you're coming down towards them, come at from the bottom, and I've gotten really good with it. Also, with bed bugs and Chromebooks, that is frightening. I actually work at a school system right now, and the guys, if we're talking about that this morning, I hate to think about it, considering what I've seen some of these. Chromebooks come back looking like.

Anyway, you guys take care. Bye. This message is for TMS. My name is Matthew. I live in South Louisiana. This call is referencing the foreign object you found inside of a potato chip bag.

As a former quality control inspector for a potato chip company, I think you should absolutely call back or get in contact with that the distributor or potato ship factory where it came from because if there's a foreign algebra, even if it's, you know, something that, you know, like a piece of potato, it could mean that some of the production machinery is having some problems, or at the very least

their quality control inspection team or equipment is faulty, and if it was produced any time recently, it would be really good information. I know as an inspector, I often rewarded customers that would give me information like this so I can better train my people and adjust my equipment so that's just a good suggestion I would give them a call back thanks hey this is Andy in London

Mr. Shatley occasionally when I've emailed this is for TMS with a slight film that crossover just listen to ladies TMS and then the Brian Hibbert Alien Special from Film Sack

and you guys on TMS were talking about stingers at the end of films and it was also talking about aliens so I don't definitely wasn't the first stinger but I can tell you it was the first sort of stinger that I ever experienced

I was quite young in my mid-teens probably shouldn't have been watching aliens but I love that film's my all-time favourite I had just accidentally left the credits rolling at the end while I got on with something else in my room and I had set up my big stereo speakers because it was one of the films in stereo. Right at the end of it, at the end of aliens,

you can hear a facehucker tickling from one side of the screen to the other over the speakers in stereo, which was amazing for those times. They had the living crap out of me because I had the volume fairly up high. Anyway, go and listen for it. Take care. Good morning, security, and I'm sorry, but you've been bumps. This is for the morning stream. I'm calling in regards to the airport night, not nice. So there's fiasco. This is my own little antidote.

I used to work at a small regional airport in a cafe in Grand Junction, Colorado. Colorado connection. Anyway, I worked at a subway there, and we had to take all our little cheap, tiny subway knives to put them in the safe every night, and then changed to a non-independent cafe, and we had those really long, like, 12-inch chef knives, which had to be tethered to the cutting board. like I had to I worked with a knife that was tethered to a cutting board and it was really annoying anyway that's more of

truck things in airports with workers that really need to use those things but can't use them properly because it's an airport have a good day this show is part of the FrogPants Network yes get more at FrogPants.com
