You are listening to Adel DeZem. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for October 2nd, 2022. I'm Scott Johnson. That's Brian Ibbett.

Hi, Scott Johnson. How are you, Brian Edmondson? this show produced by AI. That's right. Yeah, that's what it will sound like when we get converted to AI. I'm pretty excited about it. I listened to my first AI podcast. There's a company that does SEO services or SEO news, and they plugged in their SEO news into,

is it Google or Microsoft's new podcast generator, AI podcast generator? I think it's Google's doing it, I think. Yeah. And it's, it's, um, surprisingly good, but unsurprisingly heartless. Yeah, it has no soul. It feels like you're listening to people who sound real but aren't real.

I've done the same thing, but it wasn't, it was just a news story about this tech or about this service. And I heard like a sampling of, basically it was like some scientific topic. And they said, all right, we're going to have a show around that. And this lady was just sitting there going, yeah. Oh, really? Oh, interesting. Like the whole time.

That's the thing. Yeah, they have the person in there. Oh, man, I'm doing it. Who just goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. For all you know, we are AI. You guys don't know. You don't know for real. This sounds exactly like us.

Yeah. I mean, the better it sounds, the worse it is for me because it doesn't make me accept it more. It makes it more discordant. If I know that it's not real. Now, if you want to fool me, like maybe we get to a point one day where I hear a show and somehow the entire time it fools me. That's dystopic. I don't like that because. I know. That bothers me, too.

It's not just a worry of like, oh, my God, they're coming to take our charms. Because let's face it, AI is never going to be as funny as us. No. It's just not possible. Not even close, you know. Plus, if we start getting everything right, then you know something's wrong. Yeah. Yeah.

You guys, listen. If I start pronouncing bulk correctly, then you know there's going to be a problem. Yeah. I'm going to keep saying, wait, just so you guys think it's still. it's right it's your it's your spinning inception top is waned that's how we know we're not living in the i do recommend people listen to it and i'm curious what other people's reaction is because i don't yeah it's the it's the opposite of exciting to me because i hear it and i just go yeah the better you get at this the lat the least i want to listen to it because i i know that this

isn't real and if you're you can't convince me so so what you're asking me to do is what park my brain and pretend these are real people i can't do that it's a podcast with out any soul or any heart or any humanity. But anyway, enough about the Joe Rogan show. Back to AI. Back to Pokemon Go. Back to Pokemon Go. All right.

I got a thing I just thought I'd share real fast. It's really weird. Sure. We grabbed the mail this morning. It was from yesterday's mail. But for some reason, I got a return thing that we'd sent out. And I noticed on the corner, it's like a happy holidays thing. like, oh my gosh, we get, we really get something all the way from Christmas and that's just

now saying it can't be delivered. Yeah. No, 2019, this went out. Oh, my gosh. Five year old letter. Five years ago, it went out. Yep. It went to, because I do this thing.

So even though Kurt Schilling and I had a massive falling out when he decided to go a little nutty, I still send him in his family Christmas cards every year and they usually send theirs to us as well. This was to them. I sent it out there in 2019, comes back, says not deliverable as addressed, unable to forward for five years for five years does the return to sender look like it was written with bloody sock a big old smudgy big old smudgy strokes let's see um what else it say it says okay just says the year yeah there's no other indicator what happened it's just like how

does this happen it's crazy have you sent have you sent uh some sense like yeah we send him every year i guess next year you might get the 2021 and the 2021 you know in 2020 Yeah, I'll get the entirety of the pandemic plus every year. I'll get a nice little reminder. So I don't know. It's just a weird thing we noticed today. I don't know what the hell's going on there, but whatever. I don't understand the mail system.

Maybe Cliff Clavon's old mailman can tell us what that's about. Because I know the goal is you guys never want to lose a single piece of mail. I know that's a thing. So here's an example of a thing that just got looped through the system, probably got attempted to forward multiple times. I don't know where Kurt's living now. so that's probably all this is but it's almost it's almost impressive it came back you know yeah no kidding for sure i don't remember what card it is i'm going to open it let's see okay all right just the fact that five where was it for five years right exactly where the hell was it just stacked

in a thing like somebody's to-do list or you know their their inbox oh yeah wow this is the car this was the year that um uh oh man was like literally a few months old as all so this is so cute 2019 man weird all right well you're going over here point hey brian uh we got a couple of things here real quick um we got a PSA uh that we want to share with everybody is a very exciting stuff in fact do i have i may even have a little clip for this let's see uh let's play um let's play this this is jaunty uh let's see where is it Do I not have it handy? Well, you know what?

We'll do like a jaunty-50s kind of vibe. Okay. Walking down the neighborhood with the, you know, watching the milkman wave at you and all that. Exactly. I'm a milkman, God. I can't even think of a milkman without thinking of the milkman and from. Oh, right.

Exactly, right? Oh, my gosh. That show, dude. Freaking, gosh dang at that show. All right. Anyway, I'm on the final episode. go watch it tonight. Or the final episode of season one.

I'm still behind it. Season one? Okay. Anyway, we're going to do something. A lot of you out there, we've heard before. We've heard. We heard you. Hey, gamers.

We heard you. You said that you liked TMSPM back when we used to do it. And we said, yeah, that's cool, but we're doing new things. And then we did some things. Well, guess what? We're bringing back something that's a lot like TMSPM. That's right. Starting October 18th at 9 a.m.,

the return of TMS on Fridays. Yeah, that's right. this time though it's just for patrons just for patrons so you do not get this if you're just a schmo all right not that you're schmo just someone who hasn't signed up yet

right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah is the key term you're signing up once you hear this you're signing yeah once you sign up you will get access to any previous episodes you've missed but we're doing a patron only thing we are going to stream it back in the day we didn't have a great streaming solution for this so we do now we're going to stream it on

on Discord at 9 a.m. It'll go about an hour, 9 to 10, on Fridays. And a full hour of content, including contests, competitions, special guests and segments. Monica's going to come on once a month, talk about horror movies. We're going to... I've got lots of trivia queued up to give Scott,

kind of like that audio game that we've done a couple of them in recent weeks. We're like, this is a perfect place for that to do that regularly. Yep, and lots of prizes and fun stuff like that. So, uh, another. reason to show up for another episode of the show. And again, Patreon only, folks. Yeah. Now you might say to yourself, what about couch party? This replaces it. Friday's always been a little fluid. We get to slot something in and take something out. That's what's

happening. Except this time you're getting way more content. So be ready. Exactly. If you miss TMSPM and boy, judging by the response in chat, so many people miss TMSPM. This is just like TMSPM, except it's in the morning as the joke goes. And not at night. Exactly. Not a night. Not a night. Yep. And you might say, well, wait, why are you starting on October 18th? Not this week. Brian's gone the next two Fridays.

Yeah, exactly. Right. Next two Fridays, we wouldn't be able to do a couch party anyway. So it's a good time for us to kind of take some, basically use it as development time and figure things out. So when I'm in the southeast for the meetup, when I'm in Houston for the pinball meetup there, the video game meetup. And I think I should do, we should do some sort of. meetup at the video game festival, because I know J.K. Grammer and Sarah are going to be there. Someone else reached out to me on Discord and said, hey, are you doing a meetup at the Houston thing?

And I want to. So even if it's just finding a bar at the hotel where the video game festival is happening. Sure. Half an hour. Come grab a drink. Let's get together. You know, let me say howdy and send you back out to play some more elevator action. right that's what you should be doing with your life after you're done at a bar so yeah so look forward to it again it's the 18th is when we start 9 a.m so same time as usual tms but it will be in our tms private discord for patrons only and uh so it's basically the same room that we do couch party in but we'll have it's the same permissions and it's it oh by the way it's any level so it doesn't matter what level you are on patreon you're in you don't have to do a high level it could be the

entry level it doesn't matter uh and if you haven't signed up yet go to patreon.com slash TMS today. That's right. And if you can't make it to the live show, don't worry, because it'll obviously be in the Patreon as a downloadable. Oh, shit. Hold on. Sorry. That's all right. Did my answer to a whatnot go out about the, uh, um, I missed the very last part because I accidentally dialed everybody in another group and I was trying to add Randy. So ignore me in recommendals. I was not, Totally fun. So it is not live only. You will be able, if you're a patron, but you can't go to the live show, you'll get, or watch the live show, you'll get it in your Patreon feed.

Yeah, I thought I said that. Didn't I not say that? I thought I did. You probably did, and A. Whatnot just missed it, so he was asking. So I'm just shit out of lucking and covering our bases at the end, too. No worries. You get it on air light there, A whatnot. Hey, real quick, the, yeah, that's the other thing I should have mentioned.

I don't know if I think I didn't make this distinction. It'll be both video on the Patreon as a full video and full regular audio podcast for those who just prefer to get the audio. So all of it will be there. There you go. All right. Now I'll do this properly and not screw up and call the wrong group. Let's see. Bringing in Randy's pinch hitting today.

Yes. A little bit of pinch hit, if you will. Randy's pinching it off. Brian's got some stuff he's got going on today. So we want to give him a little bit of breathing room there. and let's play this little intro. And there's the potential that this thing is going to take a while, this feud. Just, I'm glad we've got basically like half an hour of feud.

Oh, good. Oh, good. Yeah. Join us in welcoming Randy Jordan to the phone. Hi, Randy. Good morning, morning stream. Good morning. I just, oh, I've just back from a premium swimming with sharks experience. Cost me an arm.

An arm. I know, it cut off. The sharks ain't part of your audio. Excellent. Yeah, excellent. Arm and a leg, it cost you, I'm assuming, what is what you were going to say. Well, nobody wants to pay that price. That's a high price to pay on arm and a leg.

Hello. How are you guys doing? I'm good, man. How are you? Doing all right? You haven't... Our false autumn is over, and we're into October summer. False autumn. I like that.

Really warm. Yeah. You guys unseasonably warm this time of year, right? in like the 80s or something. We have the false autumn and you get all excited. And you start, you start like looking at cardigans like, mm, you and me, baby. And then nope. I like yonk back to the short sleeve section of the closet.

We're potentially going to have a 90 degree day today, which will be the first time we've had a 90 degree day in October in 100 something years in Denver. That's crazy. It's a crazy record. A lot of records being. beaten right now with someone someone told me it's because of a bunch of immigrants i don't know if are you i think they're wrong they're cooking the dogs and it's causing a lot of smoke and fire and a lot of heat yeah i mean they you know that's what they want it i think uh well anyway we're going to play

this game we're going to add somebody else to the call oh yeah i got to do that part don't i uh let's add who's you know what let's get oh you know who's fourth today dr calhoun the good oh good yeah the good doctor is in Dr. Calhoun. Yeah, we enjoy his business here. So we're going to get him coming in here. Let's see, ringing. There we go.

He's going to love today's prizes. Oh, boy. Dr. Calhoun, are you there? Yes. Hello. Hello. We hope we're not interrupting any busy doctor schedule you might have going on. I am in office hours.

Oh, ooh. Oh, that's all right. I just have to sit here and be bored because no one ever comes. I was going to say that just means, you know, that you'll be 20 minutes. late to each one of your appointments, which nobody will notice the difference. Nah, that'll be fine. No, I'm not that kind of doctor. I'm not that kind of doctor.

Oh, gotcha. Right. He's the studious, serious kind. He's the academic stuff. I have office hours for my students that never come. Gotcha. Oh, right, right, right. That's right.

Okay. My kids high school, they have office hours, and you have to schedule yourself in advance for the office hours. Yeah. And the kids all, I mean, it's required. And because it's required, they have like these overflowing classrooms of kids during office hours. And it just doesn't

seem like it's going to accomplish anything. If we had a zombie situation, here's what would happen, though. Dr. Calhoun would be, people would say there'd be a whole scene where you'd go, they'd go, someone needs to help this man's leg. And you'd say, they'd look at you. Aren't you a doctor? And you'd go, I'm not that kind

of doctor. And they'll say, well, you're all we've got. And then that's how the whole thing would go. That's what you would do. I have been on a plane. I have been on a plane. An academic, not a doctor. That's right. I have been on a plane when they asked for a doctor before, but I did not. You didn't raise your hand?

Yeah. No. I love that, though. I mean, I guess, you know, it really should be the question. Is there anybody on the flight who's had professional medical training? Right. That's the way to do it. They're not doctors.

Yes. That's right. Not these smart guys. Well, anyway, you're a smart guy. Hopefully that means you're going to continue. Would you settle for a nurse? You're going to win today. Brian, why don't you explain these rules to Dr. Calhoun and Randy so we know what we're doing.

Okay. It's time to play the time. tadpool, Lee, feud. I've surveyed the tadpull on some nerdy topics, and Scott and Randy are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. It is their job, be it their mission, their onus,

ah, onus, don't use that word enough, to see how many of those answers they can guess. Dr. Calhoun, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Randy. And if your team wins,

you get a prize package, that includes, oh, courtesy of nighttime visions, Guardians of the Galaxy on Steam. Kick-ass game. Very good game, yeah. I think I've played that. So you could give it to someone else.

Okay. And Stranded Alien Dawn, and I'll replace Guardians with something else. How about Stranded Alien Dawn? You played that one? I don't think I've played that. I haven't either. Never heard of that one. I love it when the guest goes shopping.

Yeah, no, right? Yeah. Yeah. I like it, too. Nothing wrong with that. I'll pick the next one in the list for you, and it'll be a surprise. So actually, it looks like it'll be in for space. I'll just tell you right now.

It'll be in for space. Infer space. Infra. Infra. Infra space. I don't know if that is either. Yeah. All right.

I love me on me either. These are two games I've never heard of, which is rare, so let's do this. It's great. All right, Scott and Randy, put your hands on your buzzers, and I'm just going to tell you right now. Okay. When this question, somebody suggested this question, and I put it in, I was thinking of a very specific type of answer. The Tadpool certainly went crazy with their submissions. And you, well, more so than ever, and you guys will be the beneficiaries of this.

So think wide and, you know, open-mindedly on this. All right. Fair enough. Okay. Put your hands on your buzzers. We have 524 tadpoolers to name a house you would never want to find yourself in. Scott. A house on haunted hill.

All right. Show me the house on haunted hill. Oh, wow. Yeah, number five. I know you weren't expected that. I could tell me. Yeah, I was trying to be quick and not, you know, think too long and I was worried. But that sounds bad.

Yeah, all about that at all. Four answers will beat it, Randy. Do you have a name, can you name a house that you'd never want to find yourself in? I guess Disney's Haunted Mansion. Oh, okay, that's a good choice. Show me Disney's Haunted Mansion. Oh. Right, because people want to be in that.

Yeah, yeah. If you're anybody, that said, that still was not. number 28 in the list so people do a couple people don't want to be there with the 99 ghosts and goblins and stuff that are anyway um all right so scott and dr calhoun you're going to be working together and you have control of the board nine answers left on the board you got five points all right um anything jumping i mean i can think of a highly politicized answer but what do you think i think i said amityville yeah that's a good one with the flies and the in the oil toilet it and all that yeah let's do amityville i like it all right show me the amityville horror house

number two answer on the board good one good one good one so i'm guessing there's a lot of horror movies in here oh you think yeah you think that that would be what the people where people would go and uh that's certainly where i thought people would go and not all of it i'm gonna guess uh mara loggos on here so let's get it out of the way Show me Mar-a-Lago. Number one. Yeah, I loved them all into one. Trump Tower slash Trump's White House slash Mar-a-Lago.

It is. Yeah. All right. That's good. I'm glad you put it all in one. Now we can. Yeah, I don't, I didn't want to, like, have it spread all over the board. Let's just, you know, rip that orange band-aid off right away.

Eight points for you guys. He calls it a skin-tone band-aid because he's orange. He does, yes, exactly. Dr. Calhoun, do you have a preference amongst the remaining seven? my smart ass answer might be an outhouse oh that's pretty good i don't want to be in there getting the f out of there yeah i don't like using uh even even like a really brand new like port of john freaking it's last resort for me can't i don't want to go yeah yeah all right let's do it uh show me out house

number 42 number 42 in the list uh but not uh would you've lump that in with chicken house hen house no because those are all different things a spoiler that is that is why i said it like that right because it's like it's when you hear outhouse i want you to search every outhouse crowded house crowded house i would like i wouldn't mind going to a crowded house concert yeah sure sure yeah all right randy now is your time to shine uh seven answers still on the board what you got i think i need to guess uh Craig t nelson's house from poltergeist i think that is a house you definitely do not want to be it Yeah, you certainly didn't want to be in it when it all shriveled up into a little

boit and then disappeared into a little wormhole. All right, show me the poltergeist house. Yeah, number nine on the board, and now we got ourselves a game. Okay. Well, so that was way down there. Okay, gee. Yeah. I put you up by one, by the way, by getting it.

Yeah, but remember, that's good. You want the low answers. Yeah, but that felt like, I was going to guess like four more similar things. No, I don't know. Let's go with your big, vague hinting. And let's find out if the jailhouse made the list here. I mean, nobody wants to go to the jail house. The big house.

Sure. All right. Show me, you're in the jail house now. Number three on the board, the big house. It's backwards. This is backwards. It is a little, I can't believe that's second or third. That's crazy.

It's funny because when you ask the Tadpool this, and you're in, you know, I'm writing this thinking, oh yeah, they're going to say the Amityville house. They're going to say the house on Honan Hill, poultry gas, blah, blah, blah. But you get the Tadpool who sees this question fresh without any of those preconceived notions and says, house, what a house do I not want to be in? Oh, the big house. Jail. Sure.

Yeah. I'm going to go ahead and take a strike here because I have to go fishing and find out just how bad poltergeist was so I'm going to say you don't want to be in a house on Elm Street All right, show me a house on Elm Street What is our number 11 answer

No points for you But it means you get to go again It doesn't mean you get to go yet 1428 Elm Street quite a few people were like, I knew the number. Okay. Yeah. Impressive.

Okay. All right. Because you see it right before Nancy's mom gets sucked in through the little window in the center of the front door. Yes. Yes. That's true. That's true. Boy.

Since Scott already said it and I've had you always, you should always say it when your opponent gives you a tip. Right? You should always guess that so they don't get it. Yeah. I have to guess you don't want to be in. a hen house. Okay. All right.

Show me hen house. Keep saying it like, like, uh, uh, hen house was number, I think it was tied for 45th. Yes.

Forty-fth. Okay. Which means basically anything 45 and higher, one person said. All right. All right. One of us here has a PhD and I'm counting on him having to have the next good answer. If we want to go non-movie dog house is also another one,

but I don't know. if you want to stick with non-movies or... Well, Doghouse works pretty well given, you know, it's got such a negative connotation when you're in the doghouse, you're in big trouble with your wife or whatever. I feel like that's a good one. I like it. Let's do it.

Doghouse. We don't want to be in the dog house, unless it's a computer. Sure. Unless it's dog house systems. Show me, doghouse. Ow, poop. Yeah. Yeah. Number 12, it really was close to being the next one.

Near miss. The next one in there. All right. Do I skip? No, no, no, you're good. You're good. Yeah, no problem. All right, Randy, take the baton. I'm going to continue to fish here.

I don't think you want to find yourself in a cabin in the woods. Oh, very good, yeah, because you never know which artifact you're going to start looking at that's going to trigger that sequence of events. Yeah, that one's got holes in the wall so you can see from room to room secretly. Right, yeah, yeah. Has anyone, by the way, has anyone watched that TV show yet, the series now? Is it good? I'm curious. I'm really curious about it.

Let me see if it's how it's, I wonder how it's reviewing. Yeah. It's just called Cabin in the Woods? It's called Cabin in the Woods, yeah. Series. Let's see, just real quick here. It'd be great if it's like a different set of kids that go in there every week and trigger a different monster. Yeah, that would be cool. No reviews on a tomato meter yet, but there is 6.5 on IMDB, but I don't know who's, I don't know who those people are. That could be anything, so.

Yeah. I don't think you have to prove you've seen it. thing to review something on there. Oh, yeah. No, that's probably true. Okay. All right. Show me the cabin in the woods. Number six. Damn it. Randy?

Dirty mess. All right. The pressure is on to clear the board, by the way. Exactly. Yeah. Keep this up and you may not get whatever prizes, Dr. Caller. As I've told you before, I grew up with a grandfather who owned and operated a feed lot. Yeah.

And there was a particular house right next to it that I was very, very interested in when I was little. And then when I got older, I realized, boy, I don't want to ever be in there. And that's the slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse. It is a dangerous and stinky place. Yeah. Not only, I mean, it wouldn't want to be in slaughterhouse as one through four, but definitely wouldn't want to be in slaughterhouse five. Oh, yeah, forget it.

Show me a slaughterhouse. I like that answer a lot And I'm kind of amazed That it wasn't higher It was one of those answers That only one person said amazingly That is amazing because I'm telling you, man My grandparents, the feedlot was so much more dangerous

Than the actual slaughterhouse, right? Slaughterhouse is operated by professionals Feedlot is a bunch of hungry pigs And I was always being kept away And so it made it really desirable right when I was a little little little but then I then I got old enough to care about how things smell and about getting like dirt on my clothes I would have thought this one would have been on there just simply because the word house is so prominent in it like people using yeah you know yeah

you think of slaughterhouse yeah sure um all right don't uh and since you guys both have one strike left and I want to keep things kind of even um you know just because uh just because I said think broad and why doesn't mean don't veer completely away from movie houses. I do want you to still be thinking about those but you've gotten quite a bit of the wide thinking of the

tadpull there, you know, but there might be a little more. All right. Not a few, like the Psycho House, the House from House, the movie. I don't want to be inside Doctor House. I know that. You really don't. You know what? The one from Psycho is pretty good. That one's a good one.

damn it yeah the Bates what's it called the hotel no the Bates Motel but the house was on the hill oh right

there's also the house on the hill that's right yeah there's the house on the hill there's the people on the stairs in the same

in the house no I don't think you can count that house all right you know what I think we let's go with our gut there and do that one

let's try okay the the psycho house all right show me the Bates Motel slash house damn it

No. It was still, it was up there. Bates Motel, where is it? Number 15. So it's still popular, but not in the top 10. So now, now Randy really needs to work on clearing the board if Dr. Calhoun wants these prizes. Well, I feel like this one's going to defeat us. It's just, it's too weird. It's too many things. My brain is really stuck on something, and I don't count on the tad pool to also have gone there. But my brain is really. really stuck on it. So I have to say you don't want to find yourself in the house Stark, especially when the rains of Castamere are raining.

Oh, you know what? That's pretty good. That's more metaphorical, but I like it. I'm just thinking House Stark pretty dangerous place to be. Sure, sure. All right. Red wedding. Show me. Yes, right. Show me House Stark.

Oh, man. I like that one a lot. I overtaud. No, you really did because two things. Number one, a couple people did say that. I can't find it in the list right now. But it did get said by more than one person. And I'm just going to jump right to number seven because you're on the right track thinking like that.

People don't want to find themselves in House Slytherin. Oh, geez. Similar, yeah. That's interesting because everybody spent all their time getting divided up You're like, when you get that, people are like, yeah, I'm a slitherin. Yeah, exactly. You know? Because if you find yourself in house slithering, chances are you belong there, according to the story.

Yeah. Let's go to number four here. It's one of those things that, you know, you look at the answer right below it and just kind of shuffle the words around, but it is a whole different thing. Yeah, Hill House. Oh, a hunting of Hill house. Right, yeah. Not the House on Hunted Hill, but Hill House is. Damn it.

I wonder how many people for number five thought that's what they were also saying. You know what I mean? Because people mix those up all the time. Yeah. I know I do. When I'm trying to remember the name of the TV show and the name of the movie and stuff like that. Let's go to number eight, fun animated film, Monster House. All right.

I should have thought of that. I see that in the chat now. A bunch of those. Number 10, less of a house and more of a hotel. And it's not the Bates Motel. The Overlook. Oh, shit. Oh, my gosh.

That would have worked. That's not a house. Nobody lives there. I guess a bunch of ghosts and a wrinkly old lady lives there, pretty much, all the time, never leaves her tough. I do want to go through the rest of these answers because the tadpool worked really hard on being snarky and they deserve a little bit of credit. We've talked about Dog House. Haunted House was number 13. Waffle House, number 14.

Oh, my gosh. That's a great answer, though. I'm upset that it's neither Scott nor I thought of it. Yeah, that's a bummer. I like that one. The House of 1,000 corpses, the House of Usher, the Poor House, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre House.

We just saw that one. It is a mess. 13 Ghost's House. Epstein's Island Home, Resident Evil 7 House. Yeah, I was like to say, P. Diddy's House in L.A., but maybe. That's also on here. Surprisingly, this question was asked months ago, yet the P. Diddy House is still relevant.

You don't want to be in there. The Adams Family House, Buffalo Bill's House from Silence of the Lambs. You kind of mention this, Dr. House. Nobody wants to be inside Dr. House, M.D., Winchester Mystery House, for those of you on the West Coast, know that one. Animal House. Hell House. House of Cards. House of Pain.

House of Representatives. The House of the Rising Sun, the Money Pit House. P. Diddy's House. Ahor house. The Barbarian Airbnb. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah, that's a good one, dude. That is a good one.

I'm surprised more people didn't see that one. Just say out of the basement. You're fine. Yeah, yeah, you'll be okay. Right, exactly. A crack house, the Home Alone house, Neverland Ranch, Scott's house when Kim is out of town, shrinking shack.

I don't blame it. 50 Berkeley Square, London, supposedly the most famous haunted house in London. Yeah. A burning house, a frat house, a gingerbread house, a hoarder house, the American Horror Story, burter house, an influencer house. Oh, yeah.

You know what? Good call on that. I would hate that. Annabelle's house from the Conjuring. The house from Saw. A house in the movie Twister. There was a, oh, because it gets picked up and ruined. But wait, but there was a house in Saw?

I don't remember that. No, I don't either, but apparently there's a house. Yeah, it was more like a warehouse or like a, I guess that's got a house in it. I mean, there are so many movies. Was there a house in one of them, maybe? Yeah, probably. That's why only one person said that. Anything in Detroit.

Barbara Streisand's house. I know. Barbie's dream house. That feels mean. The Big Brother House, agree. Big Mama's house. Bill Cosby's house. The Blair Witch House.

The Brady Bunch House. Brian Abbott's House on a Saturday night. There you go. You get your one. Coraline's other house. Oh, the one where she crawled between the versions. I guess so. Yeah.

Crazy neighbor's house. That's a good one. Jeffrey Dahmer's house or David Koresh's compound in Waco. both getting a vote right there. Downton Abbey, at Gaines House, a funeral home. Is this more than usual?

Way more than usual. Okay, just for sure. Yeah. I'll start to go through some of these a little bit faster. The House of Gucci, Hannibal Lecter's house, high fidelity. I don't know what that is. I think somebody might have put the John Cusack question

that we had a few weeks ago. Oh, oops. Yeah, it's like a house of ill repute. Yeah. uh house of the dead house of the dragons there's house stark all right uh huffelpuff john wayne gasey's house lizzie borden's house mama's house um Maxwell house Maxwell house that's great they're good to the last drop the mr body's mansion from clue um ned flanders house after the hurricane um oj's house there's a lot of these the peacock family house from the x files uh rose red uh

the Kardashians house the last house on the left yeah i am really lucky that the poltergeist house made the list you really are yeah yeah uh Tokyo Imperial Palace uh Vecna's Creel House Warhammer 40K Hive Welcome to the Vaxvork's house 40K Hive is not a house that's more like a

Well, if I'm so good, they don't need to come for X-Pro. Yeah, of course not. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I believe that's true. We'll see you around, man.

Hey, Randy, you'll be back later for a recommendal, so come back, won't you? All right, he'll be back. That's it. For that, let's get some news under our belt. Yeah. And hurtle our way toward the break. Let's see here. Where's the news?

The news is right here. Today's news is brought to you by. The Instance 2.0, your monthly podcast look at all things World of Warcraft, with lots of stuff dropped during the month to boot. Get your revived fix at, frogpents.com slash instance. Do it today. All right, check it out.

Eight-year-old Ohio girl in the news. Ohio in the news a lot lately, right? With the dogs and the cats and the whatnot over there. That's right. But this eight-year-old girl drove to a target and went shopping. They're driving a target in Ohio. Yeah, where's this story during the debates? Police in Ohio reported they found an eight-year-old girl shopping at a Target store

after she took a car and drove there. on busy roads. This was on a Sunday morning. Bedford police took a call for a missing girl. As they began to investigate, police also took a call concerning a small child driving east on Rockside Road. All these puzzle pieces coming together, you know. Officers eventually found the car in the parking lot of a target store in Brain Bridge, Ohio, or Bainbridge. There's no Brain Bridge.

No Brain Bridge. No. Brain Bidge. Yeah, or Binging Brain Beach. Bairns. Police then found the child in the store Although the exact route the girl took is under is unclear or route It's rude or route

Okay It depends on where you grew up I guess Google map shows the store is more than 10 miles from where she was reported missing About 20 to 25 minute drive or so The girl was not hurt But told or sorry she told the officers She quote struck a mailbox unquote during her travels Oh she didn't use those words though

No I struck a mailbox No kids said I don't know why I'm giving her an accent, but that's pretty day. I mean, hey, a 10-mile drive to Target, that's pretty damn impressive. No, I'm very impressed. And she took main roads and stuff, you know. Yeah, how was her parking? Like, you know, did she just park at one far end of the lot where there are no other cars?

Did she wedge herself between a Nissan Pathfinder and a Toyota four-runner or something? Yeah, I guess if as long as, so whoever, whoever called in there was a small child driving, They didn't say she's being erratic. None of this is about poor, you know, like, oh, we're on the case because of poor driving. We're on the case because the parents are reporting or missing, and somebody saw a kid driving. The whole thing is way more impressive than it is scary. Yeah. I agree.

It says her relatives were called to the store to get her and the vehicle. Police told NextStars WJW that the girl is too young to be charged criminally and that they are grateful no one was injured. So it's a done deal. bit. I don't know. This kid sounds all right. Seems like she's got to figure it out. She's going to go on to big things, or she'll be a mess. I don't know which. Yeah. It's hard to call at this stage.

She's going to be the next Danica Patrick. She's going to be, you know, get pole position at NASCAR because of her driving acumen. Yeah. We'll see how it goes. Let's talk about Japan. They have a super cheap corn snack product there

that everyone loves. And the company who makes it has had to apologize for a second ever time for a price increase in 45 years. That's kind of the most Japanese thing ever, right? I love it. I love it. We are so sorry that we had to up the price of our corn snacks. Please, please forgive us, please.

Give us forgiveness. Can you imagine like Frito-Lay doing that? We have to put 10% less chips in the bag. We are so sorry. So sorry. We saved our families. Yeah. Got a sword handy in case you need it.

We brought dishonor apart our names. It says part of the appeal of Japan's mega-popular um-a-be-um-ebo, um-a-bo. Um-a-bo. Imobe corn puff snacks is how manufacturer Yokin is constantly adding new flavors to the lineup, the terriaki hamburger or cup noodle. But at the same time, there is a remarkable consistency to Yumbombo, um-m-mo-um-em-mo-mo-mo-mo-mo-mo. Um-a-mo-bo. I think um-a-bo. Um-o. All right.

Bumebo. Not just in keeping one time favorite flavors such as cheese or corn potage, but in price. So when they first went on sale in 1979, they cost just 10 yen, 10 yen. And 10 yen is what, nothing? That's nothing. Wow, that is nothing, yeah. It's less than a penny, isn't it? Something crazy like that.

Less than it's about 10 cents, 8 cents. Oh, a little higher than I thought. Still, pretty cheap. A year later, or a decade later, they still cost 10 yen. And 20 years later, after it hit the market, yep, still only 10. 10 yen. They kept it going. They held onto its 10 yen price point all the way until 2022, just two years ago, when the exchange rate made 10 yen the equivalent of about 0.08 cents. That's pretty bad.

That is. Before Yoken, Yaka, Yohokin, whatever they are, announced the product's first ever price increased to 12 yen. Oh my gosh, how dare they? 12 yen. Now it's like nine American cents. Oh, no. What are we going to do? Anyway, it says their 12 year, or 12 yen era won't the longevity of its 43 years at 10 yen but they raised it again and then they went to all those sources and they talked to everybody and apologized let's take a look at this snack what does this look like it's like a tube like a crunchy tube it's smaller than your typical like bag

of um you know bag of fritos or something it's you get one corn snack in the in the package but it's still you know it's like um the size of a candy bar basically yeah it looks like a little candy bar in this guy's hand. Yeah, a puffed piece of corn. I would eat that. It seemed all right. It's great. Yeah, I think somebody has sent us those before and we're like, these are great.

I don't remember. I want to, I want one. Now I'm hungry for these ultra cheap snacks, you know. Yeah, it's these I know I've seen at the cost plus. This is something you can definitely pick up there. Or at least in those, at cost plus world market, they have Japanese surprise boxes. So it's like a snack, a snack box of mystery, a snack box of mystery, basically.

But these are almost going to certainly be in there. I would, yeah, I could go for some of that. Maybe I'll check out the, we have a local Asian market thing. Oh, yeah. It's imported food. It's all imported food, Japanese, Korean, like, all that stuff. Or maybe, you know what, KT Data? I know you can find this stuff.

You let me know if you've got a source on this. That'd be great. Did I tell you, I run into his boss? I did tell you that. I tell you that. No. So we were at me, Carter,

and Tay and the babies were all at, uh, in and out the other day, just quick lunch together while Tay was around. It's before Kim got home. And we were having lunch and we were done and then we were leaving.

And then someone came home and showed up at the door and say, hey, Scott, sorry, I didn't want to bug you at all, but I'm so and so. And I'm, I'm Kevin Tech's boss. I was like,

oh, wow. Hey, how's it going? I said, give him a raise, I says, as I shook his hand.

Yeah. It's funny that his boss knows you. Like, how is that even possible? I think he used to listen to TMS with him before they started doing remote work or something. Gotcha. Oh, that's great. So he's apparently a listener. If he's listening right now, I forgot his name.

He said it and I forgot it because that's what I do. But it was nice to meet you at the end and out. Speaking of prices that are reasonable, freaking in and out, you can feed a lot of people for nothing over there. Yeah, that new one opened up in our VAT. I still haven't gone, but it's, you know, only 10 minutes away from me. but I feel like the lines are still going to be crazy even though it's our 6th or 7th

in and out that they put here in Denver but there's the first one in Nevada They still go crazy every time they open one nuts They're having their 75th year anniversary We noticed while we were there Oh really? Wow It's a long time

75 years of in and out We're Australian Yeah for some reason And then I'm a pirate y'ar All right Here's a story about, let's see here, Montana Man, is in trouble with the law. He gets six months in prison for cloning a giant sheep and then breeding it. He's not breeding with it.

Oh, oh, oh, gotcha. Okay. They just have some livestock laws over there. You've got to be careful of. 81-year-old Montana Man was sentenced Monday to six months in federal prison for illegally using tissue and testicles from large sheep hunted in Central Asia and the U.S. to create hybrid sheep for captive trophy hunting in Texas and Minnesota. So basically he's creating

targets for hunters. Right. Right. Breeding the world's least dangerous game. Yeah. Basically, it says, this is crazy.

So he had our time, they had our time sentencing this dude. His name is Arthur Jack Shubarth. Wow. Jack Shubarth. I love it. Vaughn Montana. He,

he said he wades Shubarth's age and lack of criminal record with a sentence that would deter anyone else trying to change the genetic makeup of these creatures on the earth says the judge. Sounds a little churchy. Anyway. It does, yeah. Morris also

The genetic makeup of these creatures. He fined him 20 grand and also ordered him to make $4,000 payment to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Foundation. He'll be allowed to self-report to the Bureau of Prisons medical facility and then you've got to be there for six months. He says, I will have to work for the rest of my life

to repair everything I've done. Well, yeah, but you're 80. You might be only going to live in there. These next couple years are you going to be real tough. Yeah, it's going to be really hard. Yeah. Here's this, you got to see this sheep you made. Hold on.

Is it not, um. Look at the size of that beast. It's like a ram. Hold on. I can't open it. Yeah. I'm trying to get it. Well, here I'll show you this way, chat.

Yeah. Look at the horns on. that guy. Wow, why is that Lincoln not Lincoln for me? There we go. Oh, yeah, it's huge. Big old horns, too. Ram tough. But how does it taste? Yeah, how does, how is ram? I wonder how ram is.

You know, I've had she, you know, lamb and, you know, mutton and things like that. But I don't think I've ever had ram's meat. No. Is that even a thing? Can I get Rams meat? Anyway, there's that story. Fun one there. How about this one?

Another 81-year-old or 80-year-old. No, they're both 81. Crazy. I didn't do this on purpose. Oh, wow. No kidding. Yeah. A South Korean 81-year-old falls short of a bid to become the oldest Miss Universe contestant in history. She's 81. She's South Korean.

Let's see. She dressed in a beaded white gown, the silver-haired Choi-soon Hua, strutted across the stage and performed a singing contest at the Miss Universe Korea pageant. held Monday at a hotel in South Korea's capital Seoul. Oh, we have audio from that. We have audio from that singing contest. Oh, shit. Happy birthday.

I thought you were serious. I was about to go find it and play. I don't want to hear it so bad. No, no, sorry. I wonder if it'll, you know what? I bet we could find it actually now that you say it. Yeah, let's see. Let's see real quick.

She's a lovely lady. She is. She absolutely is. She's a total cutie. She got far. He needs the brownies, ma'am. Yeah. Let's see.

singing. Whoops. All right. I'll see if I found it. Let's see if my Google foo has paid off. All right. Here we go. Yeah, that's definitely not.

You're going to bet to drop the beat here. Oh, this is just one of those news things. They put music on it. It's a bummer. I was really hoping we'd get like a rendition of, can you guess the color of my underwear? Can you guess? I want her to sing, damn it.

She's not singing anywhere. All right, well, forget it. All right, well, that's going to do it for today's news. We're going to take a break when we come back. Tom Merritt will be here, talk a little tech, and then it's off to recommendals for all four of us. So much stuff to get to. So much, but we have a song, so play it.

Where is he? We want Tom. He's not in my list. Why? Oh, no. Tom. Tom, did you forget we're doing this today? Did he unfriend me on Discord? He's literally not here. Hold on. Oh, really? Like, you can't find him, find him?

I put Ace to Tech. I tried Tom, and neither would come up. Now, suddenly it did. Whatever. Freaking Discord. Get your shit straight. Thank goodness.

right here we go let's get this going it's time for tom merritt everybody we want tom he is tom he is here and he is here to talk technology news for today tom merr welcome back technology news for today today can you believe it amazing good yeah nice having here how's uh how have you been doing all right oh my my dog broke his toe oh no oh no yeah what do you do just uh can't do much right right Well, what you do is lose your mind because he's a five-month-old puppy with five-month-old puppy energy who now has a big old bandaged toe, which he's not supposed to run on. That's fun. And he has to wear a cone to keep him from eating the bandage. Yeah.

That's fun. Yeah. It's not fun for any of us. No, no one's having fun. It's the opposite of fun. We're getting through. it is definitely the thing I think about most these days. I'm sure it is. Yeah.

Well, it's a handful of dogs like that, especially when they're young and energetic. It speaks to heal. Yeah. We had a similar thing with Boomer. She broke her hip and then she was a puppy and it just was impossible. Oh, yeah. Do you know? Yeah. It's bad enough when they're older and it's like, oh, this sucks for you, but just

you know, stay still. But yeah, when they got that puppy energy, man. Yeah, forget it. That's tough. Well, I'll tell you what isn't tough. Getting tech news out of you on a Wednesday. That's never been tough. You always have something. So what did you bring today? What are we talking about?

Find out if today is any different. And the answer is no. So I don't know if we'll talk about this in DETNS or not. We're still putting together the rundown, but there's a couple of different apps from indie developers that got removed. One is the Juno app for Applevision Pro, which is really just a skin on YouTube, but added some functionality to do the 360-degree viewing

that you don't get from Apple's own Web. browser when you go to YouTube. Apparently, YouTube didn't like that, so it crushed it. And the other is the last of the big Nintendo Switch emulators. I'm not saying you can't find a Nintendo Switch emulator out there somewhere in the corners of the web.

But the two big ones were Yuzu and RiuGenix. Rio Jinks? Rio Jinks, I don't know how to say. Yeah, Riu Jus got sued into oblivion by Nintendo and Riu Jinks seems to have been given an offer.

refuse. So as of this week, it's gone from GitHub. It's download link is gone. And the only explanation that gave was on Discord and X saying Nintendo offered an agreement to stop working on the project. So no Nintendo Switch emulator for you.

At least for now. So what this usually Here's the normal pattern though that they follow. So emulation always finds a way. Life finds away every time. So what will happen is this will slow things down a little bit. But when we get into an era where the switch is no longer Nintendo's current generation,

these things come back up, development starts again like it has for every other old game console. Are they looking anymore? No, good. Yeah, yeah, it's basically that. It's when it, when does their priority shift to not be that worried about it? And when that starts happening, just like with the Wii, Wii you to some extent, 3DS, 2DS, these all have robust, you know, emulation happening. God communities, yeah. Yeah, emulation communities. The emulator one is a little murky. It is not illegal to make an emulator.

So it's, you know, my back gets up a little bit at Nintendo throwing its weight around because basically what it's saying is, we have more money than you. Do you want to fight us? Yeah. With Yuzu, Yuzu said, no, we can't. With Rue Jinx, it seems like they could have because we're not sure exactly where they are or anything, but the theory was that they were under Brazilian law, which is more emulator-friendly. so it might have been harder for Nintendo to get a court case going against them.

But I think Nintendo may have used other pressures to get them to agree. I don't like that. I don't like big companies throwing around their way to suppress innovation. On the other hand, it's a fair argument from Nintendo that, like, how are you legally using these emulators? Because it's a violation of the DMCA and most in the United States and similar laws elsewhere to crack the copyright on our game. games to play on them. Yeah. So even if you own the copy, it would be illegal to make a copy of it.

And if you're writing your own homebrew, how did you do that with reverse engineering our system? So it kind of is a like, sure, it's legal to make the emulator, but almost every use you could put it to is probably illegal. Yeah, it's entire existence. I mean, there is an argument to be made about preservation and stuff, but it probably sounds real flimsy during the current generation to have that argument. Well, and those preservation arguments are, you know, they, at least in the United States, rely on the Library of Congress exemptions. And for current games, it's like, well, is there a need for preservation?

These games are on sale at the store. You can go get them. So it's kind of hard to make that argument yet. Yeah, yet. It's a good way of putting it. Put the big Y on the end there. Well, interesting. I'm looking forward to talking about that more.

amongst the myriad of topics that will surely be on display today on the Daily Tech News show at 2 p.m. Mountain Time. You're all encouraged to come watch and also if you want to even be even cooler than that, support that show. They have a Patreon, of course. We do. Yeah, please do that. Tom Merritt, is there anything else

Yeah. Randy's probably just, we're still right there. Has not left, has not left being in front of his discord.

No. No, absolutely not. But, yeah, we can have a little bit of fun here with the old recommendal segment. And is everybody coming in?

I think so. They're ringing. We got rings of ringage. Yeah. Do we have rings of speakage? Well, you don't have to find out. Nicole did send a clip,

so you'll see that in your recommendtals planning. Oh. I missed it. Let's see. Oh, it's the same one I pulled up, so we're good. Okay. Good. Excellent. All right. Let me get out of that tab. Oh, hi. There she is. All right. Here, I'm going to play this. You all ready for this? Well, what do you recommend? Oh, hi, everybody. It's time for recommendals. That's right. Things we've seen on streaming services. We bring our friends Nicole and Randy back to do it. Hi, Nicole. You're here. How are you? Hi. Where's Randy? He was here. I don't know why he didn't answer. We'll call him again. Yeah. There he is. Oh, no, that's just his range of age. Yeah, I think he just went to pee. He got his fill of you from the feud.

Yeah, he was sick of us by then. That's right. He's licking his wounds somewhere off in the corner waiting. My guess is he's in the shitter. I don't know where he is, but hopefully he'll be joining us shortly. When he does, we'll get to it. In the meantime, Brian, we may as well just get started with your recommendal. Let's just jump right into this.

Yeah, I watched a couple things. This was the one I decided to recommendal, and probably with as much. stuff going on as I've got for the next few days. It's probably good that I have two because I might need it Wednesday. This is something that when I saw the lineup, I kind of knew instantly that I'd enjoy it. And I am happy to say that it was even better than I expected. Oh, I love that. Here it goes, then. Let's play this clip. Let's play here. I don't know what you're talking about, sir. Okay. You're on speaker. Wonderful. Now then, we clearly have a situation here and times of the so I'm not going to mince works.

My name is Pamela Dowdhurtry. This is my hotel. It's very new. It's very expensive. And I have a clear vested interest in minimizing any sort of controversy associated with it. I am very aware of the stigma that can become attached to a building. And I'm not interested in being the owner of a hotel

where a district attorney, whom I greatly admire and whose work I believe in very much, was found with a dead prostitute. He wasn't. So that being said, I have brought in someone I know through a trusted friend to take care of this problem. He is an expert. He is the very best there is.

There is, quite simply, no one else out there who can do what he does. Thank you, Pam. Now, of course, my guest has her own interests at stake as well and feels the need to make sure those interests are protected, which is why she has insisted on maintaining her own person to ensure this little problem goes away. And as we have reached an impasse as to whose man would be better suited to accomplish the task, we have decided that the only course of action is for you both to work together,

to clean up this absolute cluster of a mess. No. Oceans 14. Right? Yeah, might as well be. You're absolutely right. That is Clooney and Pitt together again for a movie called Wolves.

Not wolves, wolves. Wolves. I really, really dislike the name Wolf Wolf Wolfs. I do too. Yeah, Wolves. And I'll be honest, that part's never, to me anyway, explained why it's called Wolves. So the setup is this.

Amy Ryan plays a district attorney who's one-night-stand boy toy is killed via an accident in her hotel room. She calls a fixer whose number she's gotten, which is George Clooney's character. He shows up, and then the hotel, who knows what's going on, also brings in their own cleaner, who's Brad Pitt. and the two of them begrudgingly have to work together to kind of clean this mess up

and as is always the case in this sort of thing hilarity ensues nice this guy directed the director here directed the newer Spider-Man movies right yeah John Watts yeah did the far from home

and no way home he's great this is this is really well directed and really well assembled and directed film so kudos to John watts for for putting this thing together um it is with with cluny and pitt who have it just you know some of the best on-screen chemistry um they uh as you would expect they they bring a lot of

comedy to this this is not just an action film it is a kind of a not a bottle episode but it's like a it takes place over the course of one night so you're not looking at a a movie that takes place over a long period of time. And I love I love stuff like that because I feel like it's a challenge to the director to give enough enough material to make a single night episode or single night movie not feel like it's dragging at any point. Yeah, that's a hard one to do. Is it the full half 24? Like do they make it feel like 12 hours or something? No, no.

I mean, it feels it does feel like 12 hours. Yeah, I see what you're saying here. It's really the course of a night into the next morning and some very, very clever plot points that come to light throughout this thing that are really, really well done. It's not just a matter of a couple, you know, cleaners bumbling over each other and no, these guys are both pros at what they do. And even watching some of that of like a cleaner doing what he has to do to clean up a mess like this, absolutely fascinating stuff from Clooney. Like whoever wrote this and said, all right, here's how he's going to get the body here and how he's going to get the body covered up there, blah, blah, blah, blah, really came up with some amazing ideas of a way to make all that happen. It was written by John Watts as well, wrote and directed. there you go so yeah good on him so working with his own material uh that's great uh well done

this is on apple tv plus so you got it's also showing it every movie theater in my in my world currently still yeah okay cool yeah right now today it's at the movies why would anybody go what is it is it that important do you think no it's not a it's not a big screen cinematography film it's not a pop i mean it could be kind of a little bit of a popcorn film and it's something that if you know you've got a bunch of people all want to watch it together. I mean, maybe a movie theater certainly could be a lot more expensive

to do it that way, but seeing this with a crowd of people laughing, I could see the, I could see the draw. What's the comedy to serious ratio? Comedy to drama level. It is, it is not slapstick or zany or anything like that, but the, just the

wit and sarcasm and dry humor between Clooney and Pitt, is 40% of what makes this thing funny. It's their interplay with each other. And it's, and there are, I mean, it's hard to get me to have a laugh out loud moment. There were a couple in this one that actually had me laughing out loud. I was really L-O-Ling instead of just saying I was L-O-Ling.

Well, I really like those, these two. They're great, man. There's a reason they're good together, you know? This is absolutely worth saying. I don't know what the, I haven't looked at like tomato meters or anything like that, but, but I can see, I can see it doing really, really well. It looks like, yeah, 68%, a little bit lower than I would expect. I would expect in the 80s or 90s. T and I both really loved it.

So take that, you know, if you usually like the things I recommend, then you'll like this. It's very, very good. Again, the movie is called Wolves, and it is on Apple TV. Plus or in theaters now. Nice. Oh, it's got that Austin Abrams kid, another kid from Euphoria. He's very good. Oh, good.

He's the, yeah. Younger guy, kind of skinny, pointy face guy. He's the dead boy toy. Ah, all right. Amy Ryan, I like her. She's fantastic. She is great in everything that she's in. That's awesome.

All right. Wolfs. Wolfs. The houses in your neighborhood have roofs and the trees dropped leaves. yeah exactly listen we you know we we we discovered that it's seven that seven dwarfs is the yeah yeah is the way it's supposed to be and that uh Tolkien said I like dwarves with a V and that's how it I didn't know that he he pushed that through did he yeah oh man he influenced it or or that's funny used it when that was not the norm well he's got some

you know he's got some pull that guy he does have some pull that that that Tolkien fella uh all right well Well, well done. Nicole, we're swinging it over to you. Tell us what you watch this week. A brand new documentary on Netflix. I'm big, big, big fans of everybody in this documentary. And it was, I just gave you the trailer because I wasn't able to grab a clip, but there's a lot of funny moments. There's some sad moments. It was nice. All right. Let's check it out and see what we got. I'll hit play here.

Hi there. I'm Will Farrell. One of the greatest actors in the world. A long time ago, back when I was at Saturday Night Live, I met a guy who was hired as a writer the same week I was hired. He wrote a bunch of sketches for me and eventually became the head writer of S&L. And over the years, he became one of my closest friends. And then one day, I got this email, Hey Will, something I need you to know. I'll be transitioning to live as a woman.

I don't doubt that Will is my friend, but I'm not Andrew Steele anymore. It was just, whoa. I love this country so much. I just don't know if it loves me back right now. Harper, would you want to do a road trip as this new version of yourself and at the same time figure out what this all means to us? Do you recognize this guy? This is the Hollywood movie stuff?

No. No? That's okay. Roll up the window. Oh, man. So I've been wanting to see this. How is this? It's, it is wonderful. And it is. So I would want to watch this just for the simple fact that I'm a huge Saturday Night Live band. I think you know that. And I love behind the scenes of anything. So Will Farrell, to me, I know. I know. he's not everyone's cup of tea but I love him oh he's my cup of tea I love him too yeah and after watching this I love him even more um there are some really raw and vulnerable

moments in this documentary from from both Harper and Will and you kind of watch their friendship get really really strong through this so Harper she was born in Iowa so very Midwest. She loves Natty Light. She loves road tripping. She loves dive bars. And, you know, as a woman, I would never, I would never go into a dive bar. Like if I didn't know anyone in it. Like, it's a different, it's a, it's a different thing when you're not a white heterosexual male. When you go into some of these places. And it can be scary. I mean, and so you're watching Harper kind of come to those terms and Will wanting to protect her and be there for her. And there's some really uncomfortable moments, but there's also some wonderful moments. I would love to see like the stuff that

didn't get into the documentary. But I just, I loved it so much. And every, you know, every trans person has different journeys and every, you know, you meet one trans person. You met one trans person. So everyone has their own kind of rules on what you're allowed to ask. And Harper, her viewpoint is if you're my friend, you can ask me whatever you want to ask me. Because I'm, I'm still trying to figure it out. And it's, it was just, it's a really nice. documentary. I really enjoyed it.

Yeah, hearing good, good things from everybody who's seen it. It's reviewing really well. Hard subject for a lot of people, but I think it sounds like it's worth watching for Yeah, she was incredibly vulnerable. And I think it's a, it's really, it was nice to see, you know, because she's, she's trying to come to terms with loving herself. And you get a jury. So they go back to her childhood home.

And so they literally go from New York to California. And I'm sure there was a lot more stops to the road trip because I think they were on the road for like two weeks straight. But I kind of like how she does the road trip. She basically gets a folding chair and a cooler. And they just stop and hang out. I'm like, I should do that more. as it says here they hang out a bit with Kristen Whig

Will Forte, Tim Meadows, this kind of stuff Kristen Whig is she's in it but she's not she doesn't hang out they don't even like go to her house they just call her on the phone

and she makes a wonderful theme song for them that you'll hear at the very end of the documentary oh really that's great but Will Forte Tim Meadows like all the old

S&L cast comes in. Bolly Shannon, they meet up with when they get to California. You meet Harper's daughters in the very beginning. They meet a diner and there's some funny stuff that happens there. So yeah, it's a good one. I really, really enjoyed it. And Netflix original, right? Netflix Yeah, Netflix. Netflix. Nice. And 99% on Rotten Tomato says it's filmed nicely. It's got great. music sound yeah it's not your good pacing but I do feel like they left out I mean there's like for instance they go there when they go through Texas that's rough as you would think and they go and they eat they go to eat the big steak oh yeah

you know I'm talking about is that the one in Amarillo like if you finish it it's free yeah yes yes yes so they go there and it's it's it's It's very uncomfortable. Like you could just, oh, and Will, it was hard because he's watching. He's like, oh, God, he feels very responsible for the situation. And yeah, so it's very. Well, it's about two hours. So it's probably hard to cram an entire cross country travel like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I said, there's probably some amazing outtakes. Prangles gets a really good plug as well as Dunkin Donuts. I mean, it's a road trip after all. I've got to eat crap in your car. I'm like, the Dunkin' Will Ferrell really wants to go to Dunkin' Donuts. And I'm like, dude, it's not for the donuts, for the coffee. You raved about the Dunkin' Donuts coffee so much.

I haven't sit here with one right now. Their donuts aren't what they used to be. The donuts are kind of bad. The donuts are crap. Yeah. But the coffee is wonderful. Ever since they started making them in one place and shipping them around the country, and there's no dude getting up at 6.8 or 4 a.m. to make the donuts. It's like,

you can tell. Yeah. Yeah. There's a bunch of people probably still getting up at 6, but hate their job and are like in one warehouse somewhere. It's like the worst place to bake anything. So I'm looking at the trailer that I gave you guys and in the tags. There's, you know, Farrell, Harper, comedy, coming out, Pringles. And Dunkin' Donuts. Wow. That's great. Available now. on Netflix. I will be watching this one. I highly recommend.

Excellent. Randy, let's go to you now. Over to Randy, everybody. Let's do something completely different. 180 degrees we're turning this thing. Wow. Let's do it. So I am recommending something to Scott Johnson.

I am not recommending it to Nicole Spagglolo. This is an incredibly gory film. And I actually think it didn't get a lot of good word of mouth because of the gore. Like, I literally, I put this movie on privately for just me thinking, I'm going to see if I can maybe get my wife to watch this with me. And within minutes, I was like, nope, she will, she will walk out on this. And it never lets up. The gore never lets up. So, all right.

I'll just give you a few seconds of the very beginning. This is not really a very useful clip. All right. It's just the very, very beginning. It'll get us there. Here we go. I can also confirm that the Florida alone. has failed in its attempt to force the brave people of the Carolinas into joining the insurrection.

Citizens of America, we are now closer than ever to a historic victory as we eliminate the final pockets of resistance. God bless you all, and God bless America. So Parks and Rec coming together. Ron Swanson is the president of the United States. Sweet. This is Alex Garland's Civil War And it was a bit of a flop at the box office And like I say, that's because of word of mouth.

People who did see it came out were like, This is rough. But I'm recommending it to Scott and the people who like Scott Who like this sort of thing. And what this sort of thing is is a movie where the style of the movie is so much more important than the substance of the movie. You know what I'm saying? So like if you watch Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler and you have like a really deep love of pro wrestling, you're going to notice how the movie over-dramatizes the character, you know, like, and pro wrestling is already a drama, right?

So, but if you forget about the substance and just let Aronovsky take you from scene to scene, you're going to start seeing Mickey Rourke doing the best acting of his career. And that's how I see Claire Daines and Wagner Mowry. in this movie. These are two actors who utterly become the characters they're playing. Danes and Maurer are both like in their late 40s, I think. I think so. And Garland, Alex Garland, like, really leans on their expertise as actors. And that is what makes this movie for me.

I love his, let me ask you this. I love his other movies, love everything Alice Garland's ever done. I haven't seen men or whatever it's called the most the more recent or the second last thing he did but outside of that I've seen every movie he's ever done and I love them all both written when he writes them and someone else directs or if he makes them themselves or his TV shows like devs

which is I'm sure that's why him and Swanson are still hanging out probably just moved right over with him um his stuff just speaks to me and I can't even explain how or why it just does and that includes 28 days later and I'm excited about the new 28 years later or whatever they're doing um is this is that what you're talking about when you're talking about that style it's it's his thing like i don't particularly love alex garland stuff like i don't think any of it has ever

risen above a certain level especially the 28 stuff not like day sex or uh freaking ex machin i mean you know like i you know as i as i said on film sac i liked it enough yeah sunshine is good I don't think so much the pinnacle of movie making because Alex Garland has a thing. And Alex Garland's thing is you take a good long look at humanity and then we're going to have them all turn on each other. That's Alex Garland's thing. Yeah, you're right. That's true. This is more of his thing.

But this movie has some moments that are just, did I say Claire Daines? I met Kirsten Dunds. Oh, we've been saying Claire Daines? I thought I heard Kirsten Dunds. in my head. No, I'm hearing Claire Danes. I did completely, completely went past me, too.

It was like, yeah. Totally different people who rose to prominence in the late 90s playing TV movies. At one point on the road trip of this film, the journalists that you're following

stop in this town that has somehow completely escaped being touched by the war. And there's this incredibly affecting sequence. Kirsten Dunst completely consumes

this long, quiet scene. And this is a film that's made of long, quiet scenes. And she's in front of a mirror. And there's this, like, metaphor of the journalist seeing herself, you know. Sure. But, like, it's striking. It is beautiful. And, like, I felt like Alex Garland was punching above his weight class at times in this

movie. So that's why I'm recommending it. It is incredibly gory. I can't overstate how gory. See, I've never heard that about it before. the first I've heard that it's gory. It's got a bunch of gory. Yeah, that's funny, because when you said that, I didn't remember the gore.

I remember, I do remember a scene with a lot of, a lot of gunplay, and I'm thinking, oh, yeah, that part might have been where all that gore was. But, God, it didn't strike me as being a gory movie, so. Civil War has a surprise guest, and it's, you know, Kirsten Dunst's husband. He's in the trailers. That's that much of a surprise. Yeah, that was weird part to me. He's not, he's not in the, like, the beginnings of the credits. You have to, like, dig after the fact to find his name.

Jesse Plemons were talking about. He's really not in this movie very much. He's a one-scene character. So, that again. Memorable, though, right? Like, that's what he does. He sticks with you when he does that. Very memorable.

And apparently, uh, they had somebody else cast to play this role in that, that person couldn't make it to the shoot and so kirsten dunts like hey i got a husband who's pretty good at this kind of thing why don't you pay him and then of course they put these ridiculous red sunglasses on him yeah and it just it it looks one of those things like man how cool is it to be jesse plemmons like that is just dude that is so freaking cool and then of course it's the goriest scene in the movie or one of the there's so many oh guys there's there's a scene in this film where you watch something I don't really want to describe it

you watch you watch one of the goryest things that can happen to a human and I don't know how they made it it really looks like a living human being being killed in this ridiculously gory way and I'm just like how did they do like at movie magic man I know I know it's just CGI

but like wow it's it's really come a long way Brian I'm trying to remember I'm trying to remember that that scene. I can't remember it. But those sunglasses he wears remind me of those ones you brought the same thing, Brian. He's what's that? You sure

you saw the same? You know, I thought, I thought I did. Maybe I can jog your memory. The camera just stares at a guy who has a tire shoved down from the top so it's pinning his arms. He's wearing a tire.

Yeah, okay. He gets killed in the most gruesome way possible and you just watch it and of course the point of the film partially it's Alex Garland I don't know he's got a thing but also there's this point being made which is from the eyes of a journalist you you don't look away right yeah yeah and okay it's but it's really it's that there's moments like that that are really hard to watch and yeah uh the movie itself like the overall story pretty typical there's no surprises here like with 10 minutes to go in the film you should stop and ask yourself what's about to happen, you can guess precisely what's going

to happen in the last 10 minutes. But it's really not about any sort of mystery or twist, and it's just more about these people following this, you know, this Civil War. Yeah. The Civil War itself, the details of the Civil War are completely irrelevant. Yeah. It's not a politics movie at all. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, other than they sort of played on it for the marketing, but from what I've heard, like the content of the movie isn't really... It's more about journalism than politics. Yeah, I kind of wish they hadn't even in the movie itself, like in the script, I wish they hadn't said as much as they do, which is very

light. Because I mean, it has to come up for relevance to where everybody's going, where they're... Sure, yeah. It's just what I'm saying is it's not got anything to do with current landscape in the United States. This is an

alternate universe altogether. Well, those sunglasses he wears are like those ones you brought to Vegas, Brian. You had us wear for the markers. Those red heart ones, yeah, for sure. They're very much like those. I still wear those once in a while just because they have a calming effect on me. They're weird. They do.

There's something weird about rose-colored glasses, right? Like, maybe that's where that comes from? I don't know. I assume something like that. But, yeah, I'll back up, right? We saw this in the theaters. So, you know, those of you out there saying, Brian must have watched a different movie or he was on his iPad during the movie.

No, I was on my iPhone because I was in the theater. Yeah, let's go back on. Get it straight. Different device, different day, okay, everybody? Exactly. I'm not taking my iPad to the theater, you idiots. Jerks. That's why I bought the biggest iPhone.

Alex Garland has two movies currently in production. One is another 28 movie, which is already, I think it's got a release date already. And then there's this other one, and it's just called Warfare. And I'm just like, yep, that's what Alex Garland, man. He got a little better here, buddy. you like annihilation back in the day when that came out that was pretty good i think i did yeah i liked annihilation yeah i was i was trying to remember his first movie that really put him on the map um it was probably him writing 28 days later i mean he always works with what's his name

him and boyle are like best buddies so yeah i guess i don't know i didn't he write the beach uh yes he wrote the beach and uh what's his name the dab danny boyle directed that That's right. That's totally correct. They have similarities, these two guys. He also wrote the video game Devil May Cry, the DMC one, the reboot, which is crazy to me. Oh, Dred. That's a weird switch. I forgot about Dredd. He directed and wrote Dredd. Dredd's amazing. Oh, the good one with Kinneman, Joel Kinneman.

Yeah. Or I shouldn't say, no, no. Oh, see, this is what I always do. Carl Urban. I always think of the Robocop and the Dread reboot because you just see the lower half of their faces. Yeah, no, it's a fair. It's a fair confusion. single time I'll do that. Sorry, I misspoke though. It's Pete Travis directed it, but it was written by Garland. Anyway, there's some really amazing one-scene actors in this movie. A guy named Greg Hill is in a scene with an actor named Edmund Donovan. These guys are so affecting. This is not a movie I really think I'll ever see again. But I'm so glad that I watched it because

Is there just, like, scenes that have such power? And I didn't really know Wagner Maura until this movie. And now I'm just like, this guy can do no wrong. Yeah, he's supposed to be. He's the other star of the movie. Some kind of short list for Oscars this year is what I keep hearing. Excellent. Well, I'm all in.

I'm going to definitely watch that. It's also got that Dune guy who looks up into his head to do math, the MENTAT from Dune. Oh, yeah. He was also in Dev. He's great. feud we should have guessed that you shouldn't want to be in house harkon yeah that doesn't no you don't know that's another one you don't want to be in yeah you don't want to be in his hot tub for sure um all right excellent stuff let's swing it over to me this is a quick one it's a movie

i've already seen twice now and uh i just got in the mood for it i saw it streaming on toby and i was like you know what i'm seeing that in a bit let's watch that again and so i did here's my clip a job at the end of the world A salaried killer for a big petroleum company. I don't know why I did half the things I've done. But I know this is where I belong. Surrounded by my own. Ex-cons.

Fugitives. Drifters. Assholes. Man unfit for mankind. All right. So Brian watched a movie called Wolfs. and I watched a movie about wolves or wolves

This is The Grey 2011's The Grey. It's as old as this show is And I saw it on Like I said, Tooby This is a story that involves Liam Neeson, Dermit McRoney's in this Nicole He's fantastic in it

Dallas Roberts is in it Frank Grillo, love him A bunch of faces and people you know And the whole concept is Oh and I should mention Famke Janssen in it, but she's just in flashbacks, like, it's his wife. And every time he's, like, knocked out or, because this plane crashes, and they all crash

in this horrible plane accident in the Andes and, or in Alaska, I guess, the high mountain somewhere in Alaska. And they wipe out in this plane and it knocks him out. And while he's knocked out, he's under these beautiful sheets with Famca Jansen having a little conversation. And then wakes up from that and it's all horrible. She likes him a lot more than she did in Taken. Yeah, that's the other thing.

Those two are in Taken together as well. well, which is so weird. But anyway, they, oh, you know what I made? I may have screwed it up. It's Anne Open Shy. Mix her up with her all the time. It's not FAMCA James. Oh, it's not Femke Jamson.

Okay. I'm having a Robocop, Captain Dred, Judge Dredd moment. Yeah, Captain Dredd, the hell's wrong with me. Anyway, it's very, very good. And they basically, these ex-cons and these guys that are just sort of out there doing hard jobs or whatever, they crash in this plane, and they've got to figure out how to survive and escape and get back home. And it involves trying to get around a bunch of wild wolves who are like the big

ass scary as shit wolves, the ones that do not care about you and will eat you at any chance they get. And it's harrowing and very good. It's the director Joe Carnahan who did the A-Team adaptation a couple years prior to this, which is probably why I don't know, he pulled Liam Neeson with him because he was in that as well. And it's just great. I think it's the best movie that guy's made directed.

anyway and if you like a really raw intense survivalish kind of we're stuck in the mountains what are we going to do kind of movie with that with an ending that you don't necessarily see coming uh i would recommend the gray currently streaming on to be yeah and for the first 20 years of this century if you need a good rough neck in a movie you you cast frank grillo is he a rough neck oh he is the roughest of necks all right you've never seen a neck with more roughness than this good good i'm glad to hear yeah he's great in it i mean i love Frank Grillo and almost anything I've ever seen him in, with a few exceptions, he's some crap, but he always makes stuff better, and he's great in this, and his character arc is

really interesting. This guy named Joe Anderson plays the character Flannery. That guy's a pud, but the kind of pud that you are excited to see, hopefully eventually die in your movie. Is this a bit like Predator, a little bit? It's a little like Predator. Yeah, you know what? This is a lot like Predator. Now that you say that, this is Predator, but with a real wild animal and it's grounded in that kind of reality but at the end of the day it's instead of a jungle it's a snowy mountainside and instead of a alien from outer space it's a freaking wolf or a pack of wolves and it is that structure these guys getting picked off one by one you know learning how to uh admit that you're scared you know all those themes they're here for sure yeah it's funny because i when you were listing

off people i kept waiting for you to say alec baldwin and i realized oh no that's the movie that i confused with the gray called The Edge, which has a couple of guys being stuck on the mountain in Alaska being chased by a bear, not wolves, but a bear. Yeah, very similar, if I remember right, a very similar story. And it also feels a lot like the movie

Alive, which also, there's that new Netflix take on it. Oh, God, that new thing was fantastic. But this is great because this is in 2011 and this Joe Anderson guy who plays Flannery is sitting around after the initial crash and he goes, so when are we going to start

taking chunks of the ass of the people dead over there just like that movie where they had to eat each other is that butt meat or whatever and it's like oh my gosh dude

you're right when I was thinking your movie feels like alive he makes an alive reference that's great anyway highly recommend it

Dermit McRoney all up in this I thought of Nicole how do we really say his name you say his name's Dermit like Dermit and his last name

is Mulroney Mulroney Moll Roney Moll Roney no C in that last name McRoney Microlny. It'll always be McRolney. Make sure you order the macaroni, but get it

with sauce on the side. Yeah. And I almost watched Don Chito in that... Hollywood Chief. I almost watched the Don Chito movie instead, so that would have been funny, too. But anyway, it is great. The Gray. 2011's the Grey. Now on 2B. These will all be up on

And they call them talk, talk, talk. So, their first, there was a band called The Reaction, and their first song was called

Talk Talk, Talk, as the reaction. So their cover, they do cover their own song, Talk Talk, as the band Talk Talk, when they changed their name, I guess, because they like that song so much, they said, let's just call the band that, and they did. And they're
