I'm from heaven, sir. Okay. And did you break a front window? Yeah, I broke the door window, sir. And you eat a pizza? Yeah. Had a Mountain Dew. Non-sequitur. Greetings and welcome to TMS. It's Wednesday, September 25th, and it is the morning stream for the year 2024. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Abbott. Hi, Brian.

Well, I had old Scott, Jesus Christ. I had a pizza and a Mountain Dew. Here's the problem is that they, I didn't know this even though I'm Jesus. They don't actually have ready-made pizzas at Pizza Hut. I actually had to roll the dough out. I had to get a can of tomato paste out, combine it with a roll. oregano and other spices. That's actually a good question.

Did this guy, so this is an actual 911 call. I went on a tirade and found a bunch of these. How did he get said pizza if Pizza Hut doesn't keep him around? Or, you know, if there are any former Pizza Hut employees or even current Pizza Out employees listening to this show, is there, like, do you say, oh, we'll clean this, here's a leftover pizza. Let's just clean this up in the morning. Yeah.

Yeah, or do you have a, a lot of them are suggesting trash can people. pizza, which I totally believe. Oh, this guy, hell yeah. He would eat a trash pan pizza for sure. Oh, for sure, yeah. Personal trash can't pizza, they call it. Wow, that's great. Yeah, no, I don't even know of a, I can't even think of a pizza had around here that still has in-place dining.

It's a stalled delivery now, I think. Yeah. I think they're like dominoes now. That's the way it works. But I miss what are you looking, what am I trying to say? When we were kids, you and I, that was a cool place to go, man. They had like the checkered table closed. and the big...

Red plastic cups. Those ubiquitous red, thick, heavy red plastic cups. It was awesome back in the day. You could drop those. You could hurl those at the floor and they wouldn't crack. Yeah. And back then we were talking like seven bucks for a huge family-sized pizza. Yeah.

Oh, big pitcher of root beer. A little arcade, five game arcade over in the corner and a pop-shot basketball or something. For a while in Utah, we had every Pizza Hut had one of my dad's games in it. And so we were, yeah, that was the, every weekend we'd do that trip from, from St. George to Roy, not every weekend, but I would often go with them. And we'd go all the way up and down the state and empty all the quarters out of everything. And most of the managers would give us free pizza while we were there. This is living the dream. It was great. That is totally living the dream.

Here's a Pac-Man. My dad's got to take the money out of it, do a little maintenance. Then he shuts it. He's all right, cling, li-le-le-ling, give me a bunch of free play. I would sit and play. He would go get pizza. Before you knew, we were eating. Help yourself to as many refills of Coke as you want.

It was amazing, dude. Like that was, I was living, I don't know how large, but that was a large. That is living the dream right there, for sure. It was great, except for the time he electrocuted himself and flew across the room at a pizza. That was, that was something. Oh, geez. Yeah. Well, it was a, it's a story to tell.

But we'll save it for a different time because today, have you ever been a guest on somebody else's show? and we've both done this we've been guests on other people's shows absolutely yeah one of the first things I learned in podcasting was don't say no somebody asked you to be a guest on their show you do it unless it's a

unless it's just a really awkward time of day like yeah we both work nights so we can only record at three o'clock in the morning but I hope you can do it Brian is that cool yeah I don't want that and I also don't want and like if your whole show is about I don't know

the magic of or you know let's say it let's just say it I'm not going to go on any shows where the subject is furries because I have no idea what that world

you know what I probably would anyway probably just to say yeah I don't know what your world is like tell me about that yeah I guess if that's if that's the position I don't know inside those things yeah yeah do you guys do you have a little

do you have a hole out front that you can quickly get out of if you need to pee or you know I have questions I have questions about the lifestyle I do yeah So, okay, all right. So those of you with free podcast, please, invite Scott and I'd be on your show. Yeah, let us know, will you? But here's the thing. I was on one. I'm not going to name any names and I don't know when it's airing. I do know it won't happen until October sometime. So by then, everyone will have forgotten about this and no one will try to seek it out because I'm not going to say what it was, at least for now. But I'm in the middle of this thing. I should have recorded my end. Dang it. You know how sometimes you do that as a backup, like record your side? Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. I didn't do it this time. I wish I would have.

because multiple times during this interview it was a quiet one meaning you know unlike you and me where we're constantly going back and forth sure a lot of pauses and thinking and it's fine you know the pace of it is just different and in between statements big old drill it into the chair sounding farts like really loud ones not for me from this other person oh oh oh it wasn't me and i kept hearing them so it'd be like so let me ask you about the 90s and when you would and you know like all these questions when you first started drawing

like just wall shattering shaking freaking fart noises happening and this person is acting like they have no idea that I can hear this that it's audible and it is fart they were 100% these were farce. You're 100% sure yeah

oh yeah it wasn't chairs it wasn't like moving around or any of that. There must not be TMS listener, right? No, it was not a lot. Yeah, I wouldn't do it here. Outside of this world. Yeah, outside of this world that somebody, I can say this much, that's somebody who

normally I don't have any circles with or big units with, as Leo would say. And they just contacted me out of the blue and just said, hey, you know, we're interested as we understand you do this and this and this and we think you'd be perfect for a thing. And I agreed and said that's fine. And this is like two weeks ago and it finally came around. And I was like, all right, here we go. And for most of it, it was a very pleasant experience. Had a good time every few minutes.

It was really something, dude. And then, no offense. The guy might have like some kind of chronic freaking fart thing going on. I don't know. Exactly. And last thing you wanted to do is say, you know what, can we postpone the interview? I've got really bad gas today. You're not going to do that.

No, they're not going to do that. But it did feel like it was somebody who thought their microphone wasn't picking it up. That's how it felt. Sure, sure. Yeah. Are you sure it wasn't a bit, like with your sister? Oh, I'm positive. Positive.

Okay. You sure it wasn't like, let's see how many times I can get one of these in and see if he mentions it or. No, it's like this. You'll know the type. This is unlike TMS or even half the other crap we do. This is a thing that is surrounded in kind of corporate professionalism. I don't know how else to describe it, but very, very like, welcome to a yet another thing. And they've got a long history of these things, and they're all very, very straightforward, very planned out, very to the minute when you're ending it, that kind of thing.

It's not like a joke show where we got another one. It's not like that. Right, right, right, right. Okay, good. All right. So, I don't, again, I would feel terrible if I outed them. But I'd be very curious when it comes out. And when it does come out, I will listen to it.

And most of you won't even know because, again, it's not in our circles. This is more like a corporatey, how does podcasting? work kind of deal oh gosh okay and when i hear it i'm going to listen for this and if they if any of it made it to the final edit i will i'll share it then but for now i'm going to wait and see all right okay all right good oh i can't wait this is this is a fantastic everyone's like is a logan is it leo is it no it's nobody you know it's nobody you know i promise all right right uh all right so that's that was that um hey i have something so awesome johnson's got a big How's Brian Ibitt?

Britson doing. Right, exactly. All right. We have a listener named Trevor. He lives in Utah. And I was blown away by this because I thought what he was sending me. Okay, so he sends me this link. He says he's been working on.

I'll tell you what he said about it. It's got his thing here. I'm going to click the link for right now, but I'm not going to do anything with it until you tell me to do something with it. It says it uptaught. This site was made by Trevor, a TMS listener in Utah. Search TMS will allow you to search the backlog of the morning stream. I read that and went, somebody made a nice way to go through our old notes that are part of the RSS feed.

Oh, sure. Right. Do a little search for it. Yeah, exactly. This is so much cooler than that. Really? Okay. So watch this.

If you search for, I'm going to hit start searching. Yeah. Here, I'll put it up so people can see the results so they know that I'm not making this up. This is so awesome. All right. So I'm going to search for,

um, I'm just going to search for the word. Is this transcript searching? This is searching actual content. And not only that, timestamps as to when it was said. So I looked for

the word, I just did this randomly today, not even planned. I'd look for the word donkey. And it says top result, TMS 2347 towel sniffing dogs was the episode. And it gives me a timestamp of about 49 minutes into the thing. I'm going to hit play. Let's see what it says.

Yeah. References? Do you? I mean, I don't, but I don't know what either of them look like. I'm sure if you put them side by side, you'd be able to to tell the difference. Maybe they have a handy infographic. It goes on and I'll, I could let it play,

but it basically gets to a line where we say, oh, that one's definitely a donkey, clearly a donkey. Well, anyway, that's bad. So don't, just don't. I guess don'tkeys are not. What's the word? Not endangered species.

Like, we had a whole conversation about donkeys. Wow, and it has all that. That is amazing. Absolutely awesome. Like, I don't even know what to say about this. I don't even know how it's doing it. How does it know that quickly? Did he already, I'd have to talk to him, but my guess is he's already transcripted all the episodes into a database and that that's the data that's being scrubbed. But how does it know where to go in the episode? Like, yeah, no kidding. Right. Well, I mean, obviously if it's doing a transcript, it knows, it knows at which point that was said.

That's dude, not supposed to be black. I did Dear Martha to find, let's see if I could find our earliest mention of Dear Martha. Let's see. Oh, that's a good idea. See, that's what I want to do is I want to find some origin story stuff for memes and things. Like scooters. If I look for scooters. Oh, scooters.

God, that's going to be like episode 10 or something. It's going to go all the way back. Let's see, 2011. Oh, my God, I can finally listen to all of the, every time we played sausage and see which one was the longest. And like, watch it grow longer with every mention. Exactly. Anyway, I just think this is so freaking rad.

It's amazing. Amazing. It's amazing. That's really great. What a stud. Yeah, searchtms.com. Oh, are we able to give the? Oh, we totally can. Searchtms.com. Yep. Yeah, feel free to use it. Searchdm.com slash search or do you need the slash search? No, you can just go to dot com. It gives you a little breakdown of why he's doing this and who he is and stuff. I like, I like that his examples. All right, Trevor, you're the best. Examples of suggested search style. Getting hit by the blue shell and Mario cart.

put the hot dog in the middle of tortilla 3D printer broken again come on I don't know if I said has that come up a lot I don't know I'm going to search for it let's find out really funny let's see what happens if I search for it 3D printer broken again yeah let's see what happens I mean how how fuzzy is the search right like if I say oh my 3D printer is broken again will it still find 3D printer broken well here 1503 it says this was an episode called squid left his business Insider and the first line has got my 3D printer working again, which I think is probably you.

Let's see if it plays the audio there. Yeah, we got my 3D printer working again. Remember it was having an issue where... Sure enough, dude. 2018, look at that. Nice. Gosh, dang it. This is cool.

You guys, talented as hell. Trevor, you're the man and you guys should have this handy. This is like quick TMS or quick, uh, film or film sac. What is it? Quick,cac. QuickSack. L.I. Jeez, Louise.

Yeah, this is amazing. I know. This is fantastic. Wow. So bookmark that shit and use it all you want to find where we have said a thing where we claim we didn't say it or whatever. Gosh, yeah, no kidding. Oh, man. You can see what's a recent celebrity death.

Oh, that's great. Yeah, we can see when our most recent mention of a celebrity is when one of them dies. Oh, my gosh, dude. All right, let's find out. James Earl Jones search. I can search, like for Nimoy or. or whoever, right? Yeah, 2012, 2011, 2011, 2016, 2020.

How does it decide, by the way, it's not putting him in chronological order. How does it decide? It must be prominence of the word, right? I would assume. I think so. Yeah, our most recent mention of James Earl Jones, according to this, is in 2020.

I mean, obviously, I'm sure we mentioned him on the show here after he passed, but let's see here. I'm going to look for how many times we say Claire. Oh, good Lord. Or when that may be started. Yeah, he may add this, but it currently doesn't have a sorting option through chronological or first time set or whatever. Right. That could be useful.

But the, man, overall, what a rad. What a rad thing. This is amazing. Yeah. Also, I notice that, you know, your naming convention for our files changed at some point where we just, Instead of the morning stream, we just have TMS. Yeah, I did that back in 2012, something like that.

I mean, I still have all the files, but they did. They definitely changed. Yeah, TMS underscore, and then a new number is how we do it now. Wow. Look up the best of TMS 2015. I mean, I don't think we, we would have to have said that line, Rainbow Bright.

Maybe we did. I don't know. Let's see. Let's just do that real quick. Oh, Trevor's in here. Oh, look at that. Okay, Trevor's actually in here. The backlog of episodes only goes up to December 2023.

Oh, okay. So, nothing too recent. Nothing from this year. Okay. All right. Well, you can't blame us for Darth Vader's death then because we don't have proof of it. All right. Everybody.

Well, that's great. Amy says Red on Airline. I'm not sure. Are you saying that we like find the first occurrence of the, we know the first occurrence of the Red on Airlite because it was a bill segment. It was. Or did we actually like invoke the Red on Airline? air light yeah that's the question so i see the late the oldest we have a reference to red on airlight

is 2019 did it really start just then that's probably about right oh yeah that's it right here check it out i have the dude oh my god check out that red on air light on top of that briefcase dipping your sack to make something wonderful on air oh it's in the start of the show but i think that's the one that's the yeah because we used it as one of our it's one of our show titles October 22nd, 2019. Wow. Wow, we're almost coming up on the five-year anniversary of the Red on Airlite. Pre-pandemic stuff, it's crazy.

Yeah. All right, well, that's awesome. Trevor, you're awesome. I really tell the difference in our voices. Pre-pendemic, really, hey, all right, 20, 22. All right, coming up on the morning. I mean, there was a moment there

where I feel like everything in our lives totally took a turn, not just, not that's a show but just like the world you know and i don't know i there's probably a way to tell if you go back and dig hard enough you could find the tone change uh that's amazing i love it trevor you're the man utah only makes cool people i've proven it once again no kidding take that guy out to lunch and buy him i give him something with a pink sauce i would love to go to lunch with Trevor hook me uh look me up hook me up look me up find me talk to me everything you say by the way you know it yeah this stuff's going to be very searchable on his website soon

All right. Let's also get to this quick message we got from somebody with a correction. Not really correction, but a thing that I just, I didn't even know. And apparently he thinks you would have known. Here's what it says. Hey, Scupper and Bilge. On episode 2676, you were talking about the What a Burger app and power outages in Houston. Scott mentioned Hurricane Barrel and had never heard that name. While that's an old name, I'm surprised Brian didn't recognize gopher's first name from the loveboat.

his name was barrel no they would have had a barrel gopher and merrill stooping let's see this is my ship and my my captain merrill and my other gopher barrel all right fred grandy played the character let's see if we can find out yeah uh let's see you know pretty soon just be able to use uh oh it's no it's burl it's not barrel it's not barrel it's But it is Burl. Really? B-R-L? B-U-R-L, it says. Burl, like Burl Lives. Yeah, and I still don't know what a purser is.

He's the ship's purser. I don't know what that means. I've never known what that means. That means when you ask him for something, you go, you purse your lips. You purse your lips. That's for our visual. That's his visual joke. That's his close.

Yeah, that was a digital kiss from Brian is what you got there. That's right. Well, that's fantastic. Thank you for that update, anonymous person. Okay. It's still kind of funny. You had a burl and a Merrill. Yeah, Burl and Merrill. Oh, my Lord. Julie and Doc was Adam something, right?

Adam Bricker. Was he? I don't remember. Let's see. If that's the case, then I feel great for pulling that out and also a little disappointed myself. What was his full, what was his last name, Dr. Isaac Washington Bricker, Adam Bricker, right? Bricker. Let's see.

Dr. Adam Bricker? I'm trying to find a. There we go. your phone you're right Adam Adam Doc Bricker you're right yeah Fred Graney was your yeoman purser Burle Gopher Smith Ted Lang was Holman purser yeah I love how they're all your your bartender Isaac Washington yes of course yeah yeah you do do because that's how they isn't that how they did on the first on the pilot your captain Merrill Stubing your your your that's how you get

that's the good that's good customer service on your on your boat it is exactly your captain's daughter, Vicki Stubing. You're an annoying captain's daughter who shows up in the movie, TV movie. Fantastic. Your comptroller, Larry Kamalka. There you go. Now, I have a final thing to say before we get to Ted Pooley Feud that I want to tell people about. I'm excited about this because I've been waiting too long to put it up. I finally put it up last night.

It's rad. Limited edition morning stream mixtape. It's a 4-inch die-cut sticker. This is very limited meaning once they are gone, they are gone. I think there's only going to be like a hundred of them. Oh, really? I think so. I think that's our limit.

Anyway, it is artwork by me. Basically, I hand drew a cassette tape. And on this colorful cassette tape, we have the morning stream all written out in Purple Marker, made it look like an old school, you know, Magnavox tape or something. And then right down underneath the two spirals are our names, our signatures, Scott Johnson, Brian,

but right next to each other. And it is four inches wide, nice big sticker. This vinyl sticker will look great on your water bottle, your freaking computer, whatever. Best part is shipping is free no matter where you order it. Wow. Free shipping. That means all you international weirdos will get free shipping on it. It's available now at frogpants.shop.

And all you got to do is go over there and click on the limited edition morning stream mix tape 4 inch die cut sticker and you're in. Nicely done. Get them while they're hot. The perspective is freaking gorgeous on this thing, by the way. It was fun to do. It was dynamic. I almost did flat straight on. I have a sketch of that even that I almost finished and I just went, that's not as cool as if we gave this a little.

It took me way longer to do the prospective one because literally this is like high school where I got to pull out the protractors and shit except by doing it digitally. But I still, I got to like, you know, I have to draw it differently. And it's a lot more complicated. So I hope people appreciate that. But it was really fun to do. And if you's, it's fun because if you zoom in on like the, um, you have the number, like the indentation of the numbers, like, my little screws, look at my little screws there. A little screws, like a little rusty.

The little, the fact that the edges of the sticker get a little oily. Yeah. And it kind of makes the sticker semi-transparent around the edges and stuff. Yeah. The best part is if a really smart hacker type could lift our signatures and do bank fraud in our name. As if I use that signature for anything but. but actually signing autographs. Sure. Come on.

Come on now. It's a store, of course, is a tab up on the frogpants.com site, but if you want to go directly there, it's frogpants. Shop, and they are available now, and we'll go quickly. So get your hands on them whilst they last. Somebody did not be kind of rewind. By the way, tell me, are the little tabs broken out at the top of this cassette? Or are they still intact?

That's a good question. I guess we'll never know because the perspective's wrong. I can tell you I got it nice and tight, though. at the beginning of the tape with a pencil i got a pencil in there yeah yeah cool good and yep wound it up i did all that it's actually related to a t-shirt idea i want to do and maybe i'll talk to you afterwards oh that'd be awesome i love killer idea okay i love killer ideas yes uh let's see about done away he's he's a killer idea um if you ask his mom and dad he was an idea one night and uh they had sweet sweet love and then he came out the other end and uh we're glad that that

happened you know when moms and dads really love each other it's charging shipping all right we'll look at that after the uh scott look at that after oh you know what let me um my daughter is at the wings here she's the one who set it up the wings nice uh hey the thing is charging shipping can you fix that real quick people are ordering oh hi done away uh all right let's play done away almost like he's dictating No, he's not. He's typing. I'm typing, you guys. All right, well, I want that play. Oh, there we go.

Brian Dunaway joins us all the way from South Carolina and is part of today's Ted Pooley feud. Brian, welcome to the show. How are you? Hi, hi, Brian. How's it going? Real good. Real good, man.

How are you doing? You doing all right? You having a good time? I can't complain. Well, I will. Okay, let me tell you something. All right. So I went and got a lunch real quick, and I was in a hurry.

And I got something I don't usually get, which was like a ham and cheese croissant. Sounds all right. I was warming it up, and I was like, oh, no, that boar's head thing is going on. I wonder if they used boar's head meat. So, of course, I didn't get to enjoy my food because I'm serious thinking, should I even eat this? Should I just throw it away? And it's like, oh, tell me something, and I hope I'm not wrong.

What I'm visualizing is one of those vending machines that has a long, tall window and a rotating cabinet of little individual jail cells, each one containing a sandwich that you'll have to. Do you have a death wish? No, this is a specialty sandwich from down the street of a coffee shop jelly. Oh, good. Okay. Thank goodness. Sorry. Good. You'd have better luck with the boar's head.

But now I have to spend the next 24 to 48 hours going. Why am I, what is my stomach feels funny? Is that? Is that it? Do I have the boars head? Yeah, you don't want that. I love a, I love a good ham on croissant, though. That's very good. Yes.

If you got to eat it, you can eat at your desk because you will be picking little pieces of croissant off of your desk forever. Oh, yeah, don't. I've already, I've already got them. Yeah, no, they go right into the keyboard. Yeah. Yeah, you eat it over. plate or over the sink this team probably would make me do. Eat it over

the sink, Brian. Yeah, what are you doing, Brian? Brian, Brian over the sink. And it won't matter because you'll get it caught all in your little Hawaiian shirt and you'll walk around for a rest of the day knocking them off everywhere. Every, you know, every time I take your shirt off at the end of the night, I have to check the pocket

and make sure there's no little pieces of food. I can see by the side of the bed. Yeah. I can see by the side of the bed like tossing it out, like you do. Like from the outside, snap in your You know, are you kidding me? I might find a piece of cashew in here or a loose popcorn kernel. I almost washed some earbud yesterday doing that.

I had to be careful. I got to check my pants more often. Yeah, I do that all the time. Speaking of all the time, we have never had all the time this guy named Bash on the show. So now he's on here. Hi, Bash. How are you? Good morning.

Good morning. Ooh, he's very. You're chilling me out. You got like ASMR voice. I like it. Did you ever be? Could you tell us a little bit of a story? Where are you calling from, Bash?

I'm in Los Angeles. Nice. Which part? Proper or one of those silly little cities around it? I'm in Burbank. Okay, cool. Nothing wrong with that. You could go to Carson Taping or something if you want.

Oh, wait, he's dead. Probably not, yeah. Taping him inside his coffin. Whoops. Does Fallon still, they still tape in L.A., do they not? Yeah. yeah if you okay if you had to pick one of the current uh late night talk show host that you would most want to be in their audience for brian who would you choose yes can this brand or that

you brian sorry brian abit kimmel's the one that i watch on the regular i i actually i've been watching a lot of set mires like i basically in youtube um i get the set mires and now it's time for a closer look and those always crack me up set meyers is is is brilliant. Jimmy Kimmel is just all around funny to me. So it would probably be one of those two. And probably Kimmel would be the two. I'm more Seth Myers.

I find Jimmy Kimmel, who I like just fine, sure. But he's a little mean. I don't know why. He's a little mean. Also the worst. The worst Academy Awards host we've ever had.

The worst. The failing ABC. They should fire him. He really doesn't like him. It really doesn't. They do not. They do not like each other. Yeah.

There's a little bit of a thing there. I think for me it would be one of the John Stewart nights on the daily show I'd want to see because they all tape around the same times like four in the afternoon. So if you're if you're going to and technically the daily shows a nighttime thing, right? Even though it's, they air it at night. So yeah, I'd go see. I'd see Stewart. Before 30, they, yeah, aired at night.

I'd see Stewart if I could. That would be my pick. It'd be Letterman before that. That's what I'd be my all-timer. Does he, does he, is he still just doing one day a week or is he even doing that? I thought he was doing most of the days and then he was only gone for a couple except when he had COVID and then they came in again

but I thought he was doing more than one. I could be wrong, but I thought it was... So guest, how has it feel to just say where you're from and then have to listen to 20 minutes that people talk about something else. Old men reminisce about talk shows. That's right. Back in my day, Conan O'Brien ruled the late night airwaves.

Anyway, it's good to have you here, Bash. Let's play a game. Brian, explain these rules to Bash and they'll see who can what today? Absolutely. It's time to play the tadpull, I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Brian have to predict the answers that they gave us.

It is their job to see how many of those answers they can guess. Bash, your job is more important than ever, and your timing is impeccable, because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you'll get a prize package that includes Codex of Victory and Re-Legion, courtesy of Louis Loya. Nice. Nice, nice.

All right. Excellent. These are great games. You're wondering why I said your timing was impeccable. You're about to find out. Scott and Brian, put your hands on your buzzers. We asked 523 tadpoolers to name a comic book sound effect. Oh, my God.

Oh, Brian, no rare beating Scott at the buzzer. Yes, Brian, what you got? Boink. Boink, show me, point. Come on. the Wolverine the Wolverine schnecked or snickder how have you said yeah sure I'm the best of what I do and what I do isn't very nice number three on the board nice

you automatically get bash who is also a comic book sound effect yeah you are as comic that's actually amazing we didn't plan on that that's why I said it was impeccable it's very very clever time well he be on the top 10 though right will he yeah well what do you think My mind immediately goes to a couple of them, but let's get our guess input. What do you, what do you like? I like Spider-Man. Oh, Thwip, his Thwhip?

Thwhip is a great one. Oh, I like that. Let's do it. Spider-Man's Thwhip, please. Whip shooters, don't fail me now. Show me Thwhip. Okay. Funniest thing in Deadpool versus Wolverine or Deadpool Wolverine.

What happened with the Thwip thing? I don't remember. Oh, when he's sitting there and he's, he's in the, the car. He's riding past, and your Deadpool is. Oh. Jackmanston told him to chill out, and he's like everything going, yeah, that was great. It was subtle. I'd forgotten about it.

I'm glad you reminded me. I can't wait to see that on home. I left. I need that October 22nd, it comes home. Jeez. Do you remember when we were growing up? You wouldn't see a movie for like a year and a half after theater. Exactly. I'm just in the theaters. That's all right. It'll be out in 18 months. You can watch it at home then.

Ridiculous. All right. I like the term I like the term oh you know what we'll do it kind of like Bash's name although it's not quite that but anyway Bamph the

Nightcrawler Nightcrawler fans yeah I love that Let's try that One of my favorites too and it's funny how many people spelled it with a pH show me BAMF yeah BAMF

4th because he's a because he's a badass mother watch your mouth What I'm talking about? Nightcrawler. Yeah. They put that on what's his name's belt in Overwatch before they changed his name. I think he's still there. He's not McCree anymore. He's called Jesse Charles.

I don't remember. Do you know who had a wallet with BAMF printed on it? You. Probably you. No? No, but it would be cool if I did. No, uh, uh, Jules, Samuel Jackson's character in Pulpiction. Oh.

Yeah, he brings out that big old wallet. Yeah. It's like, look in your bag for a wallet. How do I know which one is yours? It's the one that's got. I didn't know that. I don't remember that. All right.

How do you feel about chum? There, Bash. What do you think of that? Chume. I like it. Sounds good. All right, chum. This is like when Hulk would smash his hands together to create a big wave of stuff.

Right, right, right. Chume. Yep. All right. show me chum i like chum chum is good uh chum not even on

not even on the list no nobody said any form of chum are you like yeah chum no no choo all right that's fine brian chum or not a chum i'm going with pal pal

pal look at he said pal so hard his microphone oh i'm sorry i'm sorry i said p o w i apologize It's not prisoner of war. Power, short for power, pal right in the face, pal. Sure. I wouldn't let me kiss her. Show me, pow!

Oh, man. Yeah, number one answer on the board, lots of power. There it is. That makes sense. We should have gone for the more low-hanging fruit, I suppose. Yeah. Continue picking that fruit, Donaway. What else you got?

I'm going to continue to go through my catalog of brain imagery that is the 60s Batman. And I want to say, it was. his pow, bop was in there, Bop. Okay. Yeah. Mop. Pomp.

Pau, Pah, Panson's saying it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's great. Or the unskinny Bop. Oh,

and, you know, and it was fat Adam West. Adam West. I heard he, I heard he went all night to get lucky all the time. All the time.

Had him, had him lined up. Oh, yeah. Probably. Yeah. There are stories about those two. Him and Robin.

They were both pretty. Yeah. Anyway. All right. All right. Would you say, It was, it was you answering and Bob? Sure, show me.

At the oldest time, I forgot what you said. Show me, Bop. Well, that was a long one. It was a long one. Yeah, just a little tease there. Bop was, oh, tied for last place, 304th in the list. All right. What do you think, bash of the word capow?

I feel like it's dangerously close to it's either perfect or no one thought of it. There's no in between on this one. So what do you think? I don't want to do this without your blessing. I think it might be too close to POW. Oh, yeah, good point. It's just to like, see, this is why, yeah. I could give you that I would separate Capow and Powell for sure.

You would, you wouldn't combine them. I would not combine them because there are two different noises. Okay. Yeah. What else is, you got anything else burning a hole there? what else you got thinking of the batman tv show i think wham came up a lot wham's pretty good yeah yeah pick

me pick me up before you go go pick me up before you nailed it you're going with wham yeah do it by my house on your way show me let's make you big with wham number five on the list there's good points right there okay i like that

The score is 18 to 1 with Scott and Bashwood. Wow. Killing me. How about I'm trying to not get too crazy because I know we're missing some of these. Yeah, number like number two, not even selected yet. It hasn't even been figured out. Do we have a, this boom on here? Boom.

Let's do boom. Let's give a boom a shot. Is that the only sound effect you use for explosives? I mean, boom. I can't think of anything else. There's also fume and boom and there's lots of booms. Yeah, we apparently chew them and somebody. is a world.

They're going with boom? Yeah, let's go with boom. All right. Show me, boom. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? I'm not kidding. What?

Boom number 20 in the list. That's crazy. Yeah. All right, Brian. We got a way. We got five answers still on the board. You're trailing by 17 points. I'm seeing

I'm seeing Zapp in my head. Sure. I don't know if it's even right, but zap. I mean, you've got a, you've got a ray gun, a laser gun. You're going to push the, pull the trigger. What's it going to do? It's going to be, it's going to zap. All right.

Show me zap. Oh, my gosh. Number 11. That is the number 11 bonus bonus guess question. Holy hell. Shit, Louise. All right. Bam, or zap.

Pick one that's just a little bit more popular than that. The only things I can think of are like three letter things like, pow, bop We already said Bob, right? We did that failed Zap.

Did I say pop already? No. Pop. You haven't said pop. Is that one? Pop. Sure.

All right. Show me. Balloons popping in comics. Come on. Pop. I feel like we're about to start singing the cell block tango

from Chicago. Great. Show me pop. Oh, that's a shame. Pop. pop way down at number 20 I'm sorry 31 31 in the list all right bud what do you think what do you think bash we got anything else

that you want to try you've been lucky with yours I feel like I'm failing horribly so I'm going to rely on you on this one I think bang oh like a gun there's the explosive stuff that makes sense duh bang of course bang bang is bang's a perfect one Steve bang. All right. Show me.

Bang. Are you kidding? What? Surprisingly, bang. Even number 22 of the list. Yeah. Wow. Whoa, Brian went internet-y.

You guys hearing Brian being internety? Or is it just me? I did. That's fine. How are you doing now? You're also frozen. Hold on. Oh, really?

Yeah, hold on. This doesn't sound like the usual cutout. Take me my super suit. This is more like, The Internet went weird. Hold on. Let's see. Is it me? It might be me. Let me double check. Still sounding weird? What's going on? Yeah, you sound really like.

Because my, yeah, my listening to myself sound okay. And I see my green line like working just fine. Yeah, you sound like, let me try changing regions real quick here. I don't, Brian, Donaway, I don't sound different to you. I sound normal. No, you got, you sound great. All right. Let me do. I sound okay as well. Let me swap around. I'm going to go to U.S. Central. We'll try that. All right. Don't know where, Brian. Go ahead. I mean, it's talking about this.

Same. Sounds like internet's going to poo-poo. I don't have anything going right now. Just close your porn tab. You don't need to leave any comments. Yeah, video, well, it keeps hanging and then moving and then hanging and moving. Oh, now you've got no video or now you're back. Yeah, it's still the same.

This reminds me of the sound Skype used to me. make way back in the day. Really weird. Remember those days? Those are good days. I'll disconnect and reconnect in, uh, oh, I'm only seeing like whatever region you switch to. I only got one, uh, one bar in our region down the bottom left.

Oh, the little green. I can try, uh, let me swap back to east or west, see what happens. How about now? Do you see it? Much better. he's not lacking at all I'll just connect and reconnect and discord and Steve I'm still showing one like one red thing

are you guys seeing one red thing no it's full full green for us all green on the sun yeah all right disconnecting and reconnect all right we start discord all right cool I'm going to pause this well let's let's why he's gone

let's try to figure that yeah yeah all right exactly yeah I can hear you yeah we'll make we'll make this uh work all right so done away it's your turn right is that where we were that's it's my turn i'm going with let's splap splat splat okay splat oh i don't like i said that in that case i'm going with i think he's sure heard you because it sounded to be like he said splop with pf the end yeah okay splat all right guys way bad way bad right yeah show me splat

that's a shame at the least better than you guys have the little bad guesses let's see here I'm not sure what you just said yeah let's get to the rest of these and hopefully you guys can hear me as I say what the rest these are number two

nobody ever said bam bam I said bam while he was gone away you did say bam you said bam while you were thinking about stuff you hadn't used and now you should have used it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What were you thinking? I should have believed in myself.

Bam it. Dummy? Yes. Mike was really trying to push Biff and BAP. Oh, yeah. I think BAP more than Biff, but Biff number seven right here. Well, not bad. You're my density.

Blam. You know, not play BAM or BAM, but BAM. Oh, blam. You guys, I don't know why you was. I told you, yes, it was split, pal and kapal. I've told you, I said, yeah, I would put to his this new stuff. Damn it.

That would have been some good points right there. Damn it. And finally, Flack for number 10. Thwack. Like you're getting slapped. How did that make it in? Well, look, Batman's got to hit you.

He's got to backhand you while you're doing shitty things in Gotham. Shut up, Robin. Thwack. Some of the other ones. Kaboom. Thwap. Boing. When we talked about.

Boim. Wap. Bunk. Woosh. Blamo. When you add an ammo to the end of anything that ends with an end, it's been better. Zoinck, boink, which we mentioned.

Oof, zing. Bap was number 26 in the list. Boop, doink, doink. Wap, cabam, lump, arg, ae, bong, boop, boonk, with two o's. Boosh, crack, crunch, fap, how I don't know what, come to all that.

Oh, my God. That's not the right kind of comic book. One person said Furt, and it's funny because the little tadpool is like, I bet Furt's number two because this is the tadpool. Yeah. Cachau, Kathoom. That was the one. Crackathoom. That was the one. Way down.

Only one person said it. Crackethetham, though, was a great one. Let's see. Poet-a-tat-tat-tat. You read it a gangster. Skadoosh. Skid-dooch. Broome, whack, whiz, wap.

Whiz, yeah. Yeah. And finally, Zot. Zot. Zot. Yeah. Yacht. Neal before Zot.

That's fantastic. We made out most of that, but also in the crustiest way possible. And somehow that worked for sound effects. I don't know why. It worked anyway. It enhanced it. Well, well done. This means that our good pal here, Bash 337, is the winner.

And Bash, you've been very patient. You've sat here and given us good help, and you've also walked away with these prizes. Codex of Victory and Re-Legion, both on Steam, coming to you directly. Brian will send it to you via Discord, and you were awesome. I hope you're on here again.

You just seem like a chill dude to be fun to hang around with. Totally. Totally, dude. Thanks for having me, guys. Thanks, man. All right, you bet. He's like this. He's very chill.

Yeah, you know what? I admire it. He has to go back to his job announcing golf tournaments. Right. And by the way, Brian, you sound a little better now. Send me video and we'll see if it's cleared up. Okay. I'm going to reboot the, is it better or is it good?

It's good. It's a lot better, like good, better, like normal better. So try. Oh, it was Bash. Bash was affecting. Bash was rerouting all of our traffic. Yeah. That's right, exactly.

Your video is like a little crusty, but it's moving and your voices sound better. So I think we're, maybe we're on the, what is the little green light say? You're getting a better thing down there? Full bars. Full bars on voice connected now. All right. Sweet. I think we're, maybe we're okay.

I'm getting full bars. Getting full bars, babies. Tell you what else you're going to get. You're going to get a full mouthful of a bellyful, you might say, of this weekend's edition of Play Retro. We're going to talk about Super Mario Brothers 2, aka dokey, dokey panic. Oh, you guys don't even know how that story went. It is crazy that that game even got made.

so get your burdo fandom out whip it out let's pull up some uh let's pull up some turnips by the root and toss them at each other on Friday Brian how do you feel about that Mr. Dunaway I feel pretty good I've been getting my butt handed to me all week because I also played that uh super Mario lost levels thing that the Japanese got as their Super Mario too and it's hard they weren't kidding about those uh lost level they were lost for a reason they were hard right rage quit Yeah, we got those later with SNS stuff, but we're going to talk all about it.

It's a fun, fun dip into gaming history. So please tune in 1.30 Mountain Time over at frogpans.tv on Friday, 130 Mountain Time. Please be there. If you're not there and you want just the podcast, go to frogpants.com slash play retro. Buying, Brian, Donaway. Kiss my butt. Dokey, dokey. Yeah, you're sounding fine now, so I think you're, whatever it was, it cleared up.

That was funky. Somebody accidentally tripped over a cable somewhere between Colorado and Utah. Yeah, jerks, somewhere in Green River. That's where it all happens. Yeah, that's right. How's my video, by the way? Doing pretty good. It's a little on the, just the muddy side, but it's not choppy or frozen anymore.

So I think you're good for now. Hopefully it sticks. Hey, we're going to take a break speaking of stick, and we're going to stick to the plan. And when we get back from this break, we're going to spend some time with Tom Merritt. We're going to talk about technology. Who knows what stories are swirling around. his drain today.

Sure, that is the band Fantagram, P-H-A-N-T-O-G-R-A-M with a brand new single called It Wasn't Meant to Be, comes out October 18th on their album, Memory of a Day. But you can listen to that single right now like you just did. Oh, very nice.

We're going to call Tom Merritt. We're going to get technical. Should I reboot the router or we're good? I think we're good. I think you sound good. Okay. I think you had, I think your ISP was just somebody sat on something and they went, oh, Bill, get off the thing.

Pooping. It's pooping is what they're doing. Yeah. Maybe that's the guy watching the meters was taking a dump and finally got back. All right, let's do this. We want Tom. Tom Merritt, everybody. He is your man about town when it comes to technology news.

And today is no different. He comes on the show and talks about what's happening in tech. And we can't wait to hear from him. Tom Merritt, how are you? I'm good. You can't see me. Great. No, I don't see you at all.

But that doesn't mean we won't see. Oh, there right. There you. Oh, hello. There we. Oh, there we. I like that. Sorry about that.

I'm just so excited because the Winamp source code is now available on the internet. What do you do with that if you're a guy who's like, you know, I've been waiting 20 years for the Winamp source code. Now finally, I can blank. What is? Modify it to my heart's content. but not distribute it because the license prohibits me because it's not an open source license, but a copy left license. Interesting.

So if, but if I wanted to like, I don't know, relive those glory days and build it the way I used to like it or whatever, that's, I can now do that. I just can't sell it. Yeah, exactly. The company, so it got discontinued in 2013. If anybody doesn't know, Winnamp was a popular media player launched in 97, discontinued in 2013. A company bought its rights and tried to revive it in 2014.

They've been working on it since, but announced in May that they've taken it as far as it can go. And so they will issue it as a, it will publish its source code, which they have done today. But it is not open source. So it's not, you can take it and distribute it. It's we are opening the source enough for you to modify it and contribute back to the project, but you can't distribute it yourself. So it's a little bit like when ID software made Doom's source code available, it wasn't so that people could then take it and make their own game and sell it. But people can make their own games and just have cool stuff for people to download and modify existing builds.

Yeah, you can modify it personally and use those modifications yourself. I think what they're identifying is there's a community that loves Winamp that is happy to, you know, improve it, keep it running bug-free and contribute those things back. to the project as long as they can continue to download and use it. So it's, I think, hedging the bets of the people who own the license of like, oh, we want to be able to make money off this. We don't want to have competitors launched against us. So we're taking advantage of the community's enthusiasm to improve our product, but not going so far as to open source it because that would probably just eliminate what little market there might be left for it.

I have an idea. And this is for the audience, because Tom and I and Brian and people like us don't have time for this. But here's what we want. We want some entrepreneurial, brilliant little programmer person out there. We have plenty of them that listen to our shows. I want them to make, not just a skin for Winamp, but Winamp's, Winamp builds that are designed to be like DTNS specific, TMS specific. I'll provide all the art you need for the TMS side, but the point is like branded for us, but also. Like pulls up our show, playlist already built in, like becomes a desktop RSS grabbing thing.

And you still use it for music or anything else you want. We make our own branded things that have no sales value. We're not going to sell them or do it, you know, break the, the deal. But we can't distribute them either. Oh, good point. So, so let me ask you that because on a modern internet sense, if you say to me, here, this code is now yours to do with what you want, but you can't literally. really give it to anybody ever again? You're just, you just keep it yourself?

You can keep it yourself and you can, you can contribute your modifications back to the original product, project. Boom. So you can, you can keep it from being buggy and stuff like that. Imagine this path, right? You're a Winamp enthusiast. You love it. You want it to keep going forever.

The company is like, I don't know that we can continue to pay developers to keep maintaining this. We'd love you to keep having it. However, we do think that, you know, we want to continue to have it as a product. What if we meet you halfway? We'll put it under a copy left license. So, in other words, we are not asserting copyright over the entire source code. We'll let you modify it. You just can't distribute it. You can't go making a competing product and distribute it at any price, including free. But you can use. as a community can make sure it's well maintained. Make sure it doesn't have vulnerabilities

and bugs and things like that. The thing I like about the difference between a copyright and a copy left is the copy left encourages universal health care and the other one doesn't. That's what I like to do. That's what I like to think of. Well, Tom, that's interesting. And today we'll talk more about it. I have a feeling you had like a lot of listeners who are going to peek up to that because they're from the era, man. We all were. We loved it. Winamp was the bomb. Everybody loves to whip the llama's ass. Yeah, right? I do. I mean, back, that's Winab's slogan, by the way, if you're like, what happened to Tom? Is he okay? Back before podcasting was called that and I was making shows for

infiltration radio and extra life and all that stuff early in those like 99, 98, 99 days, Winamp was the default let's go product for how to play them. So you would download them off the web at some slow, horrible speed, and then you would put that, you know, 64K MP3 file into Winamp, and that's how you would listen to shows back then. I have a lot of fondness for that era. It was great. There was no casting. It was, you know, manually, manually download. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a good time. Anyway. Yeah, I was a big Winap user in my day as well, so I'm, I'm with you. The other big thing that's coming on DTNS today is Meta Connect, which is Meta's big conference that'll be starting at 11 a.m. mountain time,

and it will be usually these days, and everyone expects it to be this time, a demonstration of the roadmap of VR headsets, among a few other things. We'll probably get some new Rayban Smart Glass kind of stuff as well. They just renewed their deal with SOROlaxotica, so I imagine a new model of those might be announced, but it's that kind of stuff that you'll get from meta.

Brian, have you been tempted by those glasses every time they bring these out? Um, no, I mean, it's cool. It, uh, it would have to be really cheap for me to even consider it right now. And I'm happy with, with, um, what I've got with the, the, the quest two. Um, a little taskmaster here, a little bit of that exit VR game with the, the weird Japanese, uh, uh, train station that I can't get out of. But that's about it. Yeah. Yeah, no, I understand. The other thing on today's show, I will be there and I'll be talking a little bit more about this new logitech. So a logitech body. Godot, long time ago, and they still operate it as kind of its own brand, but they're launching this. Basically, it's like the stream deck, not to be confused with the steam deck, but a stream deck device designed for artists, Photoshop users, people who are, you know, working in that kind of stuff, 3D, 3D modelers, that sort of thing. We're going to talk about whether that thing's going to be any good or not. I actually think it's really cool. Yeah, it's awesome. And it's also

multi-platform. I'm very excited about it. So we will talk about that today as well. on the Daily Tech News Show 2 p.m. Mountain Time, make sure you're there. Tom married, anything else going on in your world that you'd like the people to know about? We have a, we have a, we have merged the TechTom newsletter and the Daily Tech News Show newsletter. Daily Tech News Show newsletter was simply Zoe on Saturday

telling everyone, here's what was on DTNS this past week. And that's now all one newsletter. So if you go to DTNS.S.com or still freetech newsletter.com, It will give you a free tech newsletter on Thursday with a bunch of tech news and a free summary of everything that was on DTNS on Saturday, sometimes Sunday. And then if you pay to upgrade, you can get the tech news Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. And I've been doing audio of the newsletter. So if you get it, when you get it, whether you do the Monday through Friday or just the free version, you will get an audio file of me reading the newsletter to you. if you like so check that out at d tns.substack.com it's tom merit everybody watch him as he goes

all right that was great very good um yeah you sound great now no issues yeah i just checked um i was getting i was getting some of the strongest download speeds i've ever gotten and then like crap for upload and now the upload is just shot back up to a little closer to what i'm expecting so yeah the ISP just having a little fart yeah which makes sense that you were hearing us so well. It doesn't make me feel like I got suckered into a Macs Studio. It makes me feel all right. Yeah, it's stupid.

Stupid one of my two choices for internet service where I live. You have the same problem as we do. I hate it. Get fiber. Right. Brian lives in a place that should easily get fiber. Get that final mile done, whatever it is. I absolutely do.

They skipped over me because it's some HOA deal with the existing DSL provider. You dicks! Dicks! All right. It's out of my system now. let's get who's in here today. It's Randy. No, Nicole, she's busy. She's got stuff. Yeah. By the way, if you have something, I know you did some comfort stuff while you're sick. If you have something, just put it into our little chat and I can add it while we're playing clips and stuff. Oh, yeah. Oh, in today, well, in today's case, I have nothing because I saw nothing.

You have nothing? Okay. All right. Well, then I'll unfortunately, I'm that guy this week. I will hide your square. And I'll talk a little bit more about other things I've been watching that I, that I'm not using as a recommend. Excellent. Let's play this sound file. Well, what do you recommend? I recommend you sit back and relax while we talk about streaming stuff that we liked during the week, at least two of us, and you maybe decide to key those up on your own selves and decide if you like them or not as well. Let's join to the program. No, who is it? Brian Dunaway's Long Gone. It's Randy Jordan. Hi, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. Just now while you were talking, I dug into a backup that I have that goes like all the way back to 2007.

or something. And I found 291 files from the Penn Gillette radio show. Oh, wow. From so long ago. He used to have this radio show online with this guy named Michael Gudeau. Oh, my gosh. I just

like opened one of the files and I'm like, ooh, it's so cringy. Yeah, that sounds about right. Are you able to scroll back in our, in the, this TMS Discord thing, Randy? Like, can you see the photo I pulled out from 2008 or nine of Yes, yes.

All of us at Bucca to Beppo and, uh, fancy dragon, look at the young boy, Randy in the shot, man. I know. Look at this young child we got here. Let me zoom in. Are you the holder of fancy dragon by the way? Do you have? I do.

I have all the fancy dragon paraphernalia in my possession in my archive. That's who has it. Okay. Um, yeah, look at you though. He's still worth money, by the way. Look at all the, all the people who are involved in except none of us signed it, did we? That picture is a reminder that I have always been able to spot. camera that's taking my picture.

It's like I can smell them. Reggie has that talent, too. Reggie's very good out. It's nice to see Reggie in there. Talk to him the other day. He seems like he's doing all right. Is he doing all right? Yeah, he and I have arranged a regular phone call just to check in with each other.

And it's mainly me checking in with him because I worry about that guy. Yeah. But he's, yeah, he seems to be living the life. Reggie's good. And there's Jen and Bronco in that shot right up front. missing these guys are all great people yeah uh well let's get to it brian you got a clip here we're going to play uh what do you want to say about that before we play it yeah this is uh i started watching a tv show about a group of people who are pulled via mysterious ways into a place that

they they can't get out of and there are hidden bunkers and holes that they fall down and and others that walk around and scare them and it stars uh harold perineau and uh And that's all I'll tell you. You might think, you might think I'm talking about one thing, but I'm not. I was curious about this one. I think it's just started its new season. That's probably what you're going to talk about. Yes, it did.

Yeah. All right, here we go. Let's play it. Are they gone? Hard to tell. You okay? Hey, Jim. Hey, you still with us?

Yeah. He said, You said they aren't people That's right And what are they? Well, we don't know Look These talism

They would protect the houses in town I don't know why it works But You got one of those, you keep the doors and windows shut They can't get in Never tried it on the vehicle This is impossible Yeah

it is I love Harold Perrono Why is he needing more things I guess we should be glad he's in this thing We should be glad he's in this And he's fantastic in this This is a TV show called From poorly named

Because it makes it really hard To find information about it On the internet But it is I can't believe this thing is It's just starting its third season And the first I ever heard about this show Was about a week ago

I was watching When we were talking about Sunny I was watching a recap show about the final episode to make sure that the things I was talking about on recommendals last week were correct. And they said, you know, the end of the recap show. And we're going to be, you know, now that From is starting back up, we're going to be covering that show next. And I'm like, what? Let me go back. What do you say?

Now that when From starts back up, From, what? What's this from? And then I hear an ad for it on Howard Stern. And here's the problem. It's on MGM Plus, which is. is the big problem. That's lame. Because Prime owns them now.

Just put it on Prime. Just put it on Prime. Well, and you can watch it on Prime. As a matter of fact, you can watch, you get a free through Prime, a free seven-day trial of MGM Plus, and during that time, you can easily watch the first 10 episodes,

the first season of From, and I, man, I strongly encourage you to do so. If you liked the show Lost, this thing has so much lost in it, it's from the producers of loss, so there's a reason it's got so much lost kind of feel to it. It basically focuses on this little town, and when somebody drives into this town, they take a wrong turn off the highway, and they come into this town, oh, no, there's a tree that's blocking the road. All right, well, let's kind of go back. They're automatically stuck in this town.

No matter how many times they drive out the other side of the town, it's like a big loop and they come right back. to that, to the, to the town, Harold, and basically like lost, you've got all these people who've arrived there via different means, and, you know, you've got, you've got the, the bus, which is the equivalent of the tail section introduced in season two, you've got people who already there, and like the Dharma initiative, these others are horrific. These actually make this into a horror show as opposed to just a science fiction mystery show.

This is the perfect time to start watching this because this will give you the chills. They do such a great job with the special effects for these other beings that live on the, I almost said on the island, that live in this town. Not a lot of people you'd recognize in this thing.

Catalina San Dina Moreno, you might recognize she was in that Mary Grace of God or what was it called? Maria full of grace. That's it. Okay. She got an Academy Award for Best Supporting or Best Actress for. The rest of the folks are kind of like, you know, unknowns.

At least they are to me. I guess there's a guy from the Tudors and this, the Canadian animated series, Franklin, this woman did a voice for and that sort of thing. So this brings in a lot of newcomers, except for Harold. Perinot, as you'd remember as Michael from last, who was always yelling, Walt, Walt! So this showrunner

is John Griffin, and I was just looking at his stuff, he's, there was talk of and then confirmed rumors that they were making a Magic the Gathering show for Netflix. And that was, yeah, they started that in 2019. It's still shows in post-production. My guess is it means it's an eternal, like,

who knows if it'll ever happen. Exactly. But he's got like, probably in this town is the problem. as this magic the gathering is actually in this town and it can't get out. And he's got written a Twilight Zone episode. He wrote the movie on Disney Plus called Crater, which I don't know anything about that. So it's kind of not a lot of info about the kind of things he makes, but this sounds like a star making turn for this guy, like a real winner.

It certainly could be. Everybody, and I looked at Rotten Tomatoes, I'm like, oh, well, I probably never heard of this because it's not very good. No, Rotten Tomatoes gives a thing like High Marks. Everybody and the very few people that I've talked to that know about this thing, rave about it and love it. And I don't understand why I haven't heard about this, this three-year-old show until MGM Plus, baby, MGM Plus. Formerly Epics and now MGM Plus. So here's my recommendation. Watch, get your seven-day free trial of MGM Plus on Amazon Prime. Watch the first season. If you like it,

pay six bucks and get a month of MGM Plus and watch season two. Or you can wait. until the entirety of season three is wrapped up, which just started. The first episode actually came out on Sunday of season three. I'm only a couple episodes into season two, but I am loving. I am devouring this show. So I can't get enough of them.

I got a great confirmation. Prime without, whether you have MGM Plus or not, it doesn't matter. The first two seasons are fully on Prime. Oh, good. Three is locked behind the additional sub. Great, good.

all right so cool so so at least that i thought i was still in my seven days of of ngm of amazon primes free things so even when that runs out i'll still be able to watch the first two seasons yeah what's crazy is it uh real good reports that uh roku channel has three seasons so maybe they're getting them when they're new but i think that's ad supported so i know you know whatever just so you know you're getting ad supported stuff but i'm very i'm very very very excited about this one. I've been wanting to see it. Listen, this is a no-brainer if you like Lost because this feels so much like Lost.

Even though it doesn't have G. Kino doing the music, it feels like it does. I almost played some musical stingers. Chris Tilton is doing the music and it just feels like I guess he's collaborated with Michael G. Kino and J.J. Abrams on several projects apparently. So he comes from the It's also a video game guy, I think.

He did a bunch of Assassin's Creed stuff or something. It looks like mercenaries, playground of destruction and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, he's, oh, yeah, he did that SimCity soundtrack that is so good. In 2013, 2013 SimCity is garbage as a game, but the soundtrack is a freaking banger. It's so good. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, that's great.

So let's talk just a little bit about the mist trope or under the dom trope or whatever you want to call it. Yes, yes. Because my recommend told is also pretty much in that trope. what what is it about that that we don't get tired of it because like we've talked about how when when you're reliving the same day over and over we're kind of tired like that's not a trope i think it's like a mystery box thing right we're just we're suckers for it and there's and there is a you know these guys do this thing in this show that that they really couldn't do and lost which is all right let's figure out how can we how can we figure out a way out of this

instead of the usual well let's just keep driving down the road nope we're back in the city let's drive another road nope we're back in the city or back in the town they're like all right well can we get a signal out can we go this other route that we know you know can we go down on the water uh the the creek that goes through it certainly that can't wrap around things like that so it's a matter of yeah go ahead do the people talk about it as though they recognize that it's a trope or are they just like are they are they are they just breaking it as it comes they're just say because in this world, Lost never existed.

The TV show Lost Never existed. Or at least some of those people have been there so long. That's the other thing that's different from Lost is that these people didn't all arrive on the same plane kind of thing. They all came from not just arrived at different times, but from different places. This town, you know, this person came into this town from Indiana. This person came into this town driving down a wrong road in Arizona, that sort of thing. So it is it is anywhere.

in nowhere at the same time. Oh, there's a guy. Let's see. Who's the Victor? Scott McCord. Scott McCord, we've seen in a bunch of stuff. The name's familiar. Scott McCord. Canadian actor known for Nope, I tell you back. We don't know.

He looks really familiar though. Why? He does. Yeah. Atomic Betty. Friends in here is deck house. A Bayblade imagination. Wow, a lot of audio. A lot of voice work. Yeah, I don't know who this is. I swear I would know him. Last girl, Hemlock, Hemlock Grove, Inspector Gadget, the blacklist.

Only an episode, though, right? Looks like it, yeah. The center. A lot of voice work, you're right. Tons of it. A lot of voice work. Sixteen blocks, I saw. He's in Paw Patrol Mission Big Screen.

All right, so maybe you don't know. Maybe we don't know Scott McCord. But anyway, nonetheless, this is, it's called from, it's just a bad title. It's like naming your band. It's like naming your band live or the, the, you know, it's just like, it's not great. I mean, if you search from IMDB, you'll get it, but. You'll get it. Yeah.

And if you go to Wikipedia and do from TV series, then you'll get it there as well. Oh, the opening theme is a cover of Ksar-Sara, the Doris Day song covered by the Pixies. and usually after the first couple episodes, I'll skip the opening theme and just get right to the show. I'll hit that, you know, skip intro button. I do it here because it scares the crap out of me. The combination of the music and the visuals you get

from that opening theme music is enough for me to say, yep, don't need that. I'm skipping it. Yeah. The other thing I want to say real quick, Harold Perrono under underrated. He's great and everything. I can't believe he was born in 63.

That guy does not age. I don't understand what's going on there. It looks like you just walked off the set of lust. And now he's got a new son to yell for it in this show, by the way. Yeah. He was really good. And everyone always forgets he was in the 28 weeks later sequel. Right.

Played a pilot in there. Freaking fantastic. That guy's great. I'm watching this. Check it out. you guys available now. You know, one of the bright spots of those crappy Matrix, um, uh, sequels. Oh, yeah.

He played, uh, Lyds and stuff, right, didn't you? Was it Link? Link, yeah. Link, yeah. He was good in that. He was a high point of those otherwise kind of bad sequels. He was a highlighted link is what he was. He was link bait is what he was.

That's right. Ah, very good. Yeah. Since we don't have Nicole, we don't have one from Scott. I'm going to really quickly talk about a second recommendal. I don't have a clip for it. But that clip would sound like old. 50s music and and gosh golly gee whiz so tina i've been doing this thing where we got the pop chart poster with a hundred movies you need to see and it's one of these where you get you know the

poster has like lottery ticket scratch off stuff on it and then as you watch one of the movies you scratch off the the item from the list very easy um makes sense right yeah um the um the and these are movies that, let me see if I can pull up the list. These aren't, these aren't like really hard to see movies. These are all, um, very common, very well-known, uh, movies. And I've seen most of them, but decided that what I would do is, is use the list as if, or basically use the list, um, like I haven't, with, with movies I haven't seen in the last 20 years. Because I'd seen just about, I'd seen so many of these. It's like, all right, I'm going to do it is what I haven't seen in the last 20 years.

Sure. I can't find my listing it. I don't know where it is. And one of the movies on there is American graffiti. Early second, I think Lucas's second film after THX 1138. First theatrical, I think.

Because THX, I think, was just like a student film or something, right? Was it? Okay. Something like that. Yeah. I really, I love that movie. It's such a great movie.

Yeah. And I saw it, you know, I saw more than 20 years ago, but hadn't seen it forever. I could tell you who is in it and I could tell you it just kind of took place over the course of one evening but that's about all I could tell you about it so I'm like all right we're going to watch that and we did

and if you have not seen American graffiti it is so so good Ron Howard in between the the Love American style thing that inspired Happy Days and before Happy Days he's basically playing

Richie Cunningham in this but he's not yeah uh cindy williams before she was shirley on laverne and shirley again kind of oh i thought it was after that not before it was before no wow yeah it was before that there's no doubt in my mind why ron howard became a director and a producer um as an actor he just doesn't have much to offer you know he had he had the yeah he had the boy next door you know redhead cool kid you know archie vibe but it was never that was never going to explode out into like amazing theatrical stuff later. So you're right.

There's no wonder that dude just started directing and producing. So, yeah, exactly. Yeah, LaVern and Shirley apparently was like three years after American graffiti. Oh, wow. That's wild to me. I always put those the other way. I flip them for some reason. Yeah, you get, this was 73, the movie came out.

You get super young Harrison Ford. You get super young. Mr. Holland's opus, Richard Dreyfus. Mr. Richard Dreyfus. Mackenzie Phillips, playing like a 14-year-old. It is great. It is one of these, like, self-contained in an evening in Modesto, California, with sweet cars and driving diners and going places to make out.

the music, of course, is fantastic. It's basically dazed and confused for the previous generation. Yeah, it kind of is. Yeah, that's what it reminds me of. I watch it in the same mood when I watched that. And I love that. I love that, like, slice of a time, kid culture, and it only encompasses like a day or two or less.

I love that. Huge fan. And it's only 11 years past when it's supposed to take place, right? The movie came out in 73 to take place over summer in 1962. And it's really funny how it feels like. It feels like that's so, there's so much time between when this came out and when the, uh, the, uh, the movie is, uh, uh, set in, uh, was filmed in Petaluma. Interesting, but, but set in Modesto.

That's interesting. A young Leo Laporte is found running through a scene. Right. Exactly. Leoport does in there and his Pontiac fire rudder is his, his, is, his, how old do you think Leo is? Oh, that's. We're kidding. We're kidding. We know he's not there. Yes. It was a baby sitting in his, well, he mean, he's in his 60s. So it'd have been, he'd have been a teenager in the 70s or something? Right?

Yeah, in the 70s, but not in 1962. No, no, no, no. No, no, definitely not. Anyway, this is great. And I highly encourage, you know, there's a lot of great new stuff that's coming out, which we talk about here, and you absolutely should check stuff out.

The Fall Guy, extended edition, damn it, because I made the mistake of watching the entire thing. And then it recommended to me after we finished watching it, sure to watch the fall guy extended edition i'm like oh damn it randy's said to watch the extended edition can you remind us why you said the extended is so much better i can't remember what you said because you you saw the movie and it's very funny and a lot of the extended edition is just

giving the jokes room to breathe there's just like there's so many jokes where i'm like this is freaking brilliant and i love that they like the my best example is the joke where um he's sitting in the truck listening to Taylor Swift and crying. And like in the theatrical version, it's funny. But in the extended version, that goes on and on and on. And it just keeps getting funnier. Yeah, I need to. So I haven't seen it yet.

And I'm going to try to make sure I remember that I need to make sure the version I'm saying is the version I'm saying. I'm going to wait a little bit because we just watched it and then to watch the extended edition. I just realized we didn't talk last week. Did you watch the Emmys, Brian? I watched the last half of it. Okay. All right. Yeah.

And I didn't feel like going back and watch in the beginning. But I did like sing Ron Howard and Henry Winkler and the old, you know, mock up of the old Happy Day's set. I was, I was screaming because they, you know, they said a happy days reunion. No, it was just two people. It's two guys. Yeah. Are the rest all dead? Is that why we didn't get anybody else?

Is Potzi long gone? What's the deal? Potty, I think, might have been the first one to die. um well other than i mean i know pat marita died and the guy who played um arnold not arnold al uh malino died i think potsy um yeah i think potsey's out right ralph might still be alive they uh they did the only thing tuscadero might still be with us yeah they did the only thing you can do with those two characters so to speak but i was just like man i i was promising something didn't get it. And then, of course, in other sequences in the Emmys, we got these huge reunions,

all kinds of interesting people, or these compilations of people, like when they brought out all the, you know, like all the people who had played cops or what have you, like from different shows, like that was, I thought it was really good. Overall, overall, the Emmys just made me want to watch hacks. Yeah, which is so good. You should. If you haven't, I mean, you do watch hacks, right? You're caught up and everything.

I'm not. I haven't seen that. I need to. Donny Most, Ralph Melf, still alive. Aaron Moran passed away, right, last year or two years ago? I don't know, did she? Chachi, or I mean, Joni. Scott Bio, I can't understand.

I can't imagine why they didn't invite him to the reunion. Yeah, like Ron Howard's worth half a billion dollars. He's not going to share the stage with that guy. Right, exactly. Oh, Anson Williams still alive. Okay, he's 75 years old. All right. Well, the...

We might have just killed Anson Williams. Yeah, I was going to say, now we have. have a search TMS or whatever it is. We can find it later. That's right. Oh, look at him. He looks great. And so, well, I guess that's a photo from 2011, but.

Still, he looked pretty good in 2011. Still, looks good. Um, quick note that, uh, Leo Leport would have been 15 when, uh, this was being filmed, uh, the movie, uh, what do you call it? The one you just said, uh, American graffiti. So he could have been in Cindy Williams car or something like that. That could have happened. Sure, sure.

We're riding, right in the backseat with no, uh, car seat or anything. yeah that sounds right uh where is that streaming did you say i can't remember oh i didn't say and i forgot let me see here i think it might have been peacock um let me pull up just watch dot com yeah uh we also watch snow white and the seven dwarves uh dwarfs which i don't know why it's not dwarves it bothers it's always bothered me that it's not um dwarves oh yeah is it dwarfs terrible it's Dwarfs. Shit. I always thought it was dwarfs.

Yeah, no, it's a dwarf. You saw the new one with, Welzerbeek? No, no, no. I haven't seen the new one. New one isn't out yet, right? Just, just got the trailer of that one? I didn't know if that was theatrical or straight to Disney.

And again, haven't seen it over 20 years. I forgot that they spent about 20 minutes the dwarfs just getting home from work and trying to get into the house where the snow white is sleep it is like 20 minutes of them tiptoeing around and knocking stuff over and washing their face

is like 18 minutes of the movie Yeah, it's amazing. There's a lot of music during it So I figure that's how they get away with it But it's a weird, long, drawn out, wasted piece of animation. All right, American Graffiti, I'm glad I looked this up.

Prime video, but it's leaving in five days. So if you have not seen American graffiti, jump on in the next five days and then stick around Prime Video and watch From, which is also very good. Yep, Shaddleluck.com. Check it out. Excellent. Randy, let's swing it over to you and talk about your clip.

What do you got here, sir? Coming off watching the Emmys, I was all set to enjoy a new season of all kinds of shows. And I checked out the new Dancing with the Stars and I hated it because they have a criminal in the cast. And I checked out the new Survivor. And they basically tell you exactly who's going to get voted off in the first 10 minutes

and I was just like man I was dead I you know like I watched the two hours of this show and it was just so boring and like so I'm like all right you know what it's I'm declaring it spooky season I'm just I'm not going to watch this you know all this new crap I'm going to

I'm going to watch something that is fun for October so you know the autumn started and like Brian here I I started a show from a few years ago that, man, I had almost forgotten how great this is. The clip you've got is a woman who lives in a little dining isolated place, and her adult son is coming home after spending four years in prison, and she's talking to him on the phone. All right. Here we go.

Your room is all ready. Who's picking you up? Okay, so get to the dock by nine, otherwise you'll miss the breeze, and you'll have to wait for the bell. There's only two ferries these days. He knows the boat schedule, Annie. Mm-hmm? You know, he was just asking if he knew the boat schedule because he just can't wait to see you. Do you need anything else?

Clothes or shoes or anything? I can give it all back to you, right? what you went in with, the clothes and such. I'm going out. Out where? I'm meeting a good at the marina. So you're not going to eat? Oh, man.

Midnight Mass, baby. Oh, my gosh. There were so many things that I'd forgotten about this show. And it is so freaking good. Everything. The music, I just, I can't get over. Like, some of the set pieces in this show, like, they really went to town on this, this, like, deserted beach where they,

built their set. Like all of it, almost everything you see was built for the shooting of this show only. And like I was just in really enjoying all of those sets and shots and and the tone that it gives you from the beginning. It's, you know, like Brian was talking about,

you know, set in a place that's basically cut off from the rest of the world. And in this case, we start with there's only two fairies to this island. and then pretty soon there's nothing you're stuck here i can't imagine what it would be like to live in a place with 125 people yeah and and like power that turns off at 10 p.m they really they really evokes something with the the location um that that becomes really important i mean the entire thing is amazing and that guy doesn't know how to make anything crappy but the tone of

it depends on that setting so much and is and is and makes it feel like a whole new kind of if you even want to call it horror the movies this show is not really it's not really a horror it is but it isn't but it's like that's what flanagan does is all his shit is like this it's like yeah deeper better you know a haunted house on hill house whatever the hell it was called that was similar vibe for me those are the two strong points of his stuff so far and this felt like that but with just these added bits of like what the scene where sarison i call him saracen from um i know yeah anyway that kid out in the water and i'll saw it's all i'll say about that but that scene it's unlike anything i'd seen on tv just unbelievably cool everything about it so good yes

and they use all the uh the characters like i i had another thing i'd really forgotten was that i was going to get to enjoy these meaningful scenes with so many different characters that get developed in this show and of course like you might say well you you got to develop them if you're going to kill them i don't know that they really all many get killed like it's not it's not like a horror show horror show you know it's really a lot more like a character study it kind of reminds me of stephen king a little bit well i would not be surprised it's his number one inspiration and he loves all i mean he's made what three stephen king adaptations already he made made uh what's the what's the follow up to the shining can they give it all of a sudden doctor doctor sleep and i loved

his um gerald's game uh take was amazing yeah and isn't he working on now that he's over at prime the word the rumor is he's doing a proper multi-seasoned dark tower adaptation oh really okay i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna shit myself i will shit myself if this happens i'm not kidding on air i'll promise right now patrons public everybody i will poo on when that happens because I'll be so excited. I love that. Now I don't want to believe it when I see it. And I don't think you haven't seen Fall of the House of Usher yet, right, Scott?

No. Make that something you watch this spooky season because it is, it's also amazing. It was one of those things last year when it happened. I was like, I'm watching this. And then I ran out of time and didn't. And then I was for the rest of the year, I'm like, it's not the right time of year for a show like that. So this is my year.

I'm watching Fall of House of Usher. This is a great time to watch it. Yeah. Interesting fact about Midnight Mass. It's the only one of his. five TV series. It's the only one that he directed, wrote, and edited himself all the way.

Every episode. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, it's got this vibe that I just can't stop enjoying. Like, I wish it was longer and so on and so on. Yeah. It's just, Midnight Mass is awesome.

And I'm really, really glad I started up because it just like, it's more than just put that on the screen in the background while you're cleaning out the closet. It's like, it's, it demands that you pay attention and it rewards you for, for all of the paying attention. I, my, the real reason I started it was because I was talking to my kid, you know, he's late 14 years old. And we're talking about what it's like for people who live on little islands and how weird it is. And like we like, you got to ride a boat to get home from work and all this stuff.

And I, and I said, you know, Midnight Mass takes place on an island. And he's like, can I watch it? And I said, I don't know. let me go and so i put it on for myself only the very first scene is like way gory stupidly gory yeah yeah i'm like oh okay yeah shoot maybe not yeah we're not we're not ready at 14 i guess maybe maybe next year sure no that's that's great though i'm you've got me all in the mood for some flanagan so i think i'll do house of usher so i make sure i cram it in but i would not mind a rewatch of midnight mass it probably is his opus it's that good

Yeah, I would jump over, like, The Haunting of Hill House is awesome. And then Bligh Manor, not as great. Midnight Mass, awesome. Midnight Club, really not that good. Not worth it in, yeah. And then follow the House of Usher. He's like going back and forth from it. It's like Star Trek movies, right?

Every odd one is, oh no, he says the other way around. Star Trek movies, the even ones are excellent. The odd ones are not. But this is, yeah, because Hill House, just watching it and all of a sudden, in the corner of your eye you see one of those ghosts that's just hanging out in the edge of a room and it feels like every hair on my body stands on hand it's like ah yeah it's so yeah he also has a way of humanizing everyone that is really what sets him apart like as much as i think they're all great on their own they have the right kind of scares they're not simply there to freak you out

they're there to have you really invest in these human beings and that's what why hillhouse threw threw me for a loop for months. I was like, that is not a normal haunted house movie. And I hate haunted house movies. I don't like them because the rules suck. And even in his case, the rules aren't that clear, but it didn't matter because I gave

all kinds of shits for these people. I wanted them all to be well and okay. And when they weren't and they were in peril, I felt things that usually horror movies, they're just expendables. Like, I don't think about it. It's so good, man. I remember when we were talking about Midnight Club, we realized,

that there was only one jump scare in the entire series. Like, only one. Like, how cool is that? There's more than one in Midnight Mass, but, like, they're not needed. He's like, I've got some scary little short stories I want to do. Not all of them are great, but some of them are good. What's the way I can make kind of an anthology storyline about, you know, these characters kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.

Go check it out. We may have talked about it before, but it should not stop you from checking it out again. It's not in quicktms.l.I, so here you go. Right. Now it is. Now it is. And I'm going to, and now you can search in that search. dot TMS or whatever it is right now, TMS search.

I will throw out a really quick me commental. Do it. T and I are in the process of watching that new Nicole Kidman horror. I guess it's not horror, but it is when Nicole Kidman's on screen. Just kidding. Yeah, but she makes you want to go back to the movies, doesn't she? Just go back to the movies. It's a place where a heartbreak even feels good in a place like this.

Me and my husband both like this bullshit or my ex-husband. I'd like movie theaters too, Nicole, if I was the only one in them. Anyway, it's that perfect couple thing with, yeah, Ray Donovan, Sabretooth dude and Bono's. daughter Lily Houston or whatever her name is. Oh, I didn't know she was in it. The perfect couple. I will watch anything

that stars L. Fanning or Dakota Fanning. So thank you for stopping me. I do like them. Yeah. And Dakota's good in this, but here's what it is. It is somebody saying, hey, let's do knives out,

but try and make it with people you'd find on White Lotus. You actually got me more interested now that's a oh did i shoot that's a very compelling description man having a show with a murder mystery where you just kind of hope everyone gets murdered well now you've now i'm hooked now i'm in god damn it all right yeah she's what i mean white lotus is just one of the greatest things that's ever been made white lotus is great but yeah i guess it i guess if i heard that i'd say

it's a great description as well but um all right uh uh knives out but if you only start Kardashians. Oh, wow. Okay. Good job. All right. Now I am, I am fully off. Was that the garlic to your Nospiratu that we needed? Yeah, I'm out. I'm done. I'll never watch this thing now that you've said it that way. Good. All right. Good Lord.

All right. Perfect. One quick little file just to tell you what I've been up to. Yeah, that's what she said. That's not it. Jeez, I got the wrong file. I was trying to play the one from the Harry Potter or the Colonel Potter one. She said. That's what she said. Yeah, and I lost it. Let me try this one. what you know yeah there's here it is that's what she said all right i've been watching mash in the background that's all i say just mash it's what while you're doing the show no just in general

Nothing exciting at all. We don't even know what we're saying. Yeah. I just searched it and the transcriptions are terrible. I'm like looking at like, don't look at the transcription. Listen to the clip. Yeah, exactly. Some of them make, well, some of them are right on, but they don't make any sense

All right. I don't know where that came from, so ignore me. Let's move on, shall we, to the end of today's program. I'm on the wrong tab. Here we go. Quick text from a listener. This is from nobody in particular. For a TMS recommendal, untold the sign stealer. This is a sports documentary about a guy from the University of Michigan accused of stealing opponent's signals.

Oh, the untold series is really good. that's the one they did have um they did a version of it for the 99 woodstock they had another

version of some other thing oh i know what it was the the freak out between the indiana pacer's game do you remember that one where like it almost became like a giant riot and people were like players were chucking things at fans and all that do you remember this at all oh yeah yeah okay it was it was called meltdown at the yes arena or some name i don't know anyway Anyway, that Untold series has a great thing on that. So, yeah, I'm all in. I'll check this out. That sounds great.

And it's almost always sports stuff. Or maybe it is only sports stuff. I don't know. Anyway, that's it for that. Let's take our leave. A reminder that we do have a show tomorrow. Wendy will be here. We'll have a little Thursday edition of the show.

We hope you all come for that. And nothing much else today, although I do have DTNS later. And I think a video going up for some wild people, if you're interested in that. Brian, you got anything going on today that you want to mention? Um, no, no. A big 20th anniversary episode of Coverville tomorrow. And thanks to, I think it was Ken from Chicago pointing out on threads that the 20th anniversary is the Emerald anniversary. So decide it's going to be all songs that contain green or jade or emerald or something like that in the title. So green songs. Okay. That's awesome. I can't wait. That is awesome. And a huge milestone, man. You should be proud. That's great. Thanks. Yeah. Freaking 20 years. There's like, I can count on three fingers how many people are even close to that.

You know? Yeah. The two you mentioned and you. You can also count on one finger who's got, who started a month before me and it's still producing evil genius chronicles. Damn it. And this is the finger Brian held up. I just want to note that. I'm held up as middle finger.

Not saying he doesn't like it? No, I love Dave Slecher. I'm kidding. It is funny that you were like that count on this one finger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I did that on purpose. That was great. That's it for today's show.

Just a quick reminder, we do have play date coming up on Friday, some Jackbox games probably, because we did Among Us last time.

So back to Jack. Yep. I'm thinking about, so what I might do is a middle ground solution instead of buying the dirty pack. I'm going to just download some like popular drawful slash other, whatever, you know, ones let us do it, just see. Custom packs people have created that are popular. Yeah, I want to see how that goes first before we, you know, commit to that. Because the Nottie Pack's getting mixed reviews,

so I don't know if I want to pay 30 bucks for that. Can't decide. Anyway, Brian, let's get out of here in the tradition we're used to, which is to play a song, a request perhaps. Well, and this one's going to be very personal to you, Scott. Sarah wrote in and said, My name is Sarah. I was the one who delivered Scott some Girl Scout cookies.

My 12th birthday is September 20th, and there's no show that day, but if you can play a cover of whatever it takes by Imagine Dragons, I'd love to hear it. If you can't find a good cover, please do shut up and dance with me by Walk the Moon. By the way, so I was, they invite with me by one. They very kindly invited me to her birthday celebration on Friday, the 20th, I guess it was.

Yeah. But I still was positive for COVID and I didn't go. So I feel bad that I couldn't go, but I didn't want to bring COVID to the party. Sure. Of course they understand, but I felt bad. Anyway, happy birthday to hers. She's total sweetheart and deserves all the fun she had. And this is when Megas is.

daughter and he says thanks for everything you do love the show though sign wouldn't make us so oh very cool um yeah you know i haven't played acapella on here in a while and uh straight no chaser is one of the best acapella bands uh out there they transcend kind of that that typical collegiate acapella um and really add extra things to the song instead of just trying to recreate every single instrument in the original with their voice straight no chaser's awesome and on their 2018 album one shot they do a cover of Imagine Dragons, whatever it takes. This goes out to Sarah. Nice. We'll see you guys tomorrow.

Come back then, you hear. Falling too fast to prepare for this. Tripping in the world could be dangerous. Everybody circling is fulterous. Negative nebitus. Everybody waiting for the fall of man. Everybody brain for the end of times. Everybody hoping they could be the one.

I was born to run. I was born for this. Whip. Run me like a racehorse, pull me like a rip-court, rip me down and build me up, I want to be the slip, slip, slip, word upon your lips, lip, letter that you rip, rip, rip, break me down and build me up. Whatever it takes, because I love the adrenaline in my face, I do whatever it takes, because I love how it feels when I break the chains, whatever it takes. You take me to the top, I'm ready for whatever it takes Because I love the adrenaline in my face I do what it takes

Always having a feel of being typical Looking at my body feeling miserable Always hanging on to the visual I want to be invisible Looking at my ears like a modern done Everybody needs to be a part of them Never be enough, I'm the prodigal son I was born to run, I was born for this

Whips, whip, run me like a racehorse Pull me like a Rift, Court, break me down and build me up on the slip, slip, word upon your lip, lip letter that you rip, rip, rip, rip, break me down and build me up. Whatever it takes, because I love the adrenaline in my veins, I do whatever it takes, because I love how it feels when I break the chains, whatever it takes, you take me to the I'm ready for whatever it takes Because I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes Hypocritical, egotistical Don't want to be the parenthetical Hypothetical Working on to something that I'm proud of Out of the box An epoxy to the world And the vision we've lost

I'm an apostrophe I'm just a symbol to remind you That there's more to see Just a product of the system of catastrophe, yet a masterpiece, yet I'm half to cease, and when I am deceased, least I'll go down to the grill and die happily. Leave the body and the soul to be a part of thee. I do what it takes. Whatever it takes, because I love the adrenaline in my veins.

I do whatever it takes. Because I love how it feels When I break the chains Whatever it takes You take me to the top I'm ready for whatever it takes Because I love the adrenaline in my face I do what it takes
