Although some of these exercises apparently bear little relationship to the fluid ballet movements, the school uses yoga for learning to control the body, discipline the mind, and

assist concentration, besides the obvious physical benefits, like restoring suppleness to stiff joints. That boy is as worthless as a chocolate teapot. The morning stream. F-off, hairball. Hello, and welcome. Welcome to TMS. It's the morning stream for October 23rd, 2024. Tomorrow we get a 24-24.

I know. That'll be exciting. Yeah, we always like to do those. In the UK or in places that flip around the date in the month, and it'll be a 24-10, 24. Ooh, like a, that's not quite a, what do you call it? It's now palindromic, no. No. But it's nice.

It got a little ten in the middle, just sitting there hanging out. It's verbally palindromic, but not visually palindromic. Yeah. So dromic. Dromic? Dromic? I don't know. Probably dromic. Palindromic, yeah. Someone will ride in and tell us we're wrong. It's fine. Anyway, hey, we're here. We got a show to do.

And it's Scott and it's Brian. And Brian, I hope your night was good. You know, I hope he slept well. You know, I slept a lot better last night than I did the night before. And yeah, it was good. I was in the mountains with Ukrainians. And before you go, well, that's some reflection of the current war with Russia. No.

they were for some reason a Ukrainian game developer took us up to a mountain cabin and there were lakes and fishing and all this kind of thing and we had to be barefoot for no good reason so we're all walking sloshing

around in water and trusty dirt and all that up in the mountains and by the time I was going to finally get the big game reveal which is what we were all hiking toward the dream ended and my alarm went Oh no! You never even got to see the game. No, I don't know what, I don't know what happened, but

lots of frog pancers were there. Your dream is still in beta. Yeah, maybe even alpha. They lied to us. Alpha. Yeah, closed, closed alpha. You were, uh, you were in it. Uh, Dunaway was in it. Let's see. Who else? Who else did I see? Um, Andy, you were in it? I think Veronica was in it. There was a bunch of like frog pant adjacent or directly connected people,

but none of you said anything. It was like, I didn't either. Everybody's really quiet in this dream, except the Ukrainians are like, we are going to show you a game, we must hike up two miles before we can show you game. It was like that. Oh, I never got a script, so that's why I didn't say anything. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you

were in the dream. They didn't have a script approval. So anyway, I don't have an explanation for it, but there it was. Hey, you know what I did yesterday before we even get to our top topics here? I've got those three skeletons. You don't see it behind me anymore, but those three skeletons from Walgreens.

And now they are in the front yard. One of them is mowing the other one. while the third one is standing off to the side like with their hand like with their mouth open and their hand out like stop oh i want to see it do you have a pick of this i don't have a picture of it right now i will take a picture of it and i'll put in a tadpool at tms chatter that's awesome you talked about yesterday and i was like oh sweet and i can't wait to see it now it's up it's up there it came out great and i only really had to um just the one yelling stop is the only one that i had to um use um 10 stakes and rope to um to stand stabilize the other one like i have him tied to the lawnmower he's perfectly stable and of course the one laying down under the lawnmower perfectly stable but the uh the stop right there one is uh is the one that uh had to stabilize my favorite skeletons of recent memory are the two in that

documentary for casa benito where they're talking back and forth they're so good oh there is so much like we we sat there for a long time and listened to their patter for uh because it's so many different things and it goes for a while and it's clearly you know hey I don't know about you but I should like me some taquitos you know it's like it's clearly yeah you can tell it's those guys right but it's it's great that they kept most of it and just kept put it on a repeat like it's amazing like variety is what you want with a thing like that and when you start to hear things repeat you're like oh okay then it then it gets to be a little bit of a bummer yeah sadly no animatronic welcome to casa bonita I hope you try our lovely taco salad hello

partner you look hungry go this way exactly you guys need to see that doc if you haven't it's so good i recommended that to like 10 real life people that i know yeah like my kids i talked to my buddy mark yesterday at lunch told him to watch it it's so good it's just so it's man it is uh it has everything it has joy sadness it's everything you want a documentary yeah what else do you want Joy and Sadness, that's what I want. Casabinita, Mia Moore, by the way. It's not on shit out of luck.com. No, it's up on the, not Peacock, Paramount.

Paramount Plus. Yeah, Paramount Plus. Check it out. Available now. The worst of the pluses. Yeah, all the pluses. Of all the pluses, well, what do I hate of all the pluses the most?

Actually, you know what? It might be, early on, I didn't like Paramount Plus, but I actually kind of like it now. It's got a lot of stuff. Do you like it now? Yeah, better than it was. It's got a better player now. like the TV players better, they upgraded that?

I don't know what the, it's hard for me to pick the worst, currently the worst performing. I don't mean the content. Like, forget about the content for a second. Yeah. But like the worst app for one of these things. Yeah, probably, I think Prime's kind of bad. I like the content.

That is pretty bad. I have a hard time with Hulu because we've got the, you know, we've got the Hulu with live TV and ESPN and Disney, right? we got the bundle and because of that it just makes the hulu app they need to figure out they need to figure out how to organize things better because i don't care what's live on tv right now i'm not going to join an episode of diners drive-ins and dives currently halfway in progress yeah so don't put that don't make that the second row of my here's what's on good point it's not very good at knowing who you are yeah exactly not that any of these are perfect at that

but like film sacs all jacked up because of what we do or sorry Netflix is all jacked up still to this day there's no resetting my algorithm over there it's all left up no no but I do have a I have a film sack account on Netflix so that when I do watch something for film sack I watch it with that account so I don't get recommendations for oh I hear you like Mark Singer movies here's a bunch of them oh my gosh Mark singer what a poll beastmaster that's perfect beast master exactly because that's what that's what it comes I have a lot of that and it's more it's more now to just torture the family

because when they're in my account they're like what is this stuff and I'm like yeah that's right film sack baby eat it but anyway my point was I was going to make a point about that my point was that oh Hulu's all on Disney for me now so people might say

whoa it's just convenient because it's all there well that's part of it but part of it is I love logging into a service where it will say Mickey's Adventure House right next to the hardest our horror movie Terrifier 3 all with a Disney

logo up top it's amazing yeah yeah it's amazing I feel like I've hacked the system when I see that it's amazing all right Jane of Pride watch Agatha all along or the girlfriend experience your choice whichever what you want yeah it's such a weird that's a weird juxtaposition on that on that thing

but Jane of Pride wrote in this is a regular listener to the show she has this to say came in the form of an email I'll just play or a voicemail I'll just play it. Hey, guys, this is for TMS. This is Jane of Pride. I was just listening to whatever day, Thursday show was.

You're talking about dolphins in your tuna, Brian. And you said that you can't do a dolphin. Are you seriously telling me that somebody who loves Hudson Hawk as much as I do, if not more, didn't learn how to do a dolphin impersonation from Andy McDowell? Oh, son. Okay. She cut out the end. I don't know what she said at the end, but.

No, she's absolutely right. I mean, it's, and, and, Jane, I'm glad that you love Hudson Hawk as much as I do, by the way. That's awesome. Makes two of you. Listeners to FilmSack would know that there's a certain vocal range that I can occupy, and there's a certain vocal range I can't even touch. And that Andy McDell Dolphin impersonation is part of that. It goes for the Daryl Hannah Splash Mermaid impersonation as well.

Oh, where she goes, eh, that thing with the... Exactly. Oh, yeah. I used to remember, I remember thinking that would be a cool thing to know how to do. I'm too low, too. I can't go that high. Yeah. I can scream kind of high, but they have to be scared to do it, so forget it. Yeah. Well, thank you, Jana Pride. May your pride and Jena. I assume it's a Jena Proudmore reference. I actually don't know that. Maybe we've talked about this, but if it isn't, well, you'll correct us, and I can't wait to hear. And if you need a ref for your roller derby games, man, you cannot do better than Jane pride. We got a whole, we got such a great, um, uh, package of stuff from her with like a signed, um, signed little, uh, promo sheet and, uh, that was great. Yeah, she's awesome. We love her. She is awesome. Uh, dolphins aside, let's move to this one. This is an email. Sure. The subject was, dolphins to polar bears. Yeah, but dolphins to polar bears, of course, uh, kind of across the

mammal spectrum, a million spectrum, but it says, why is everyone hung up on the polar bear on lost? This is from Evan. He says, seriously, why are you guys so hung up on the polar bear? It was brought there to be experimented on by the Dharma Initiative and was shot by Sawyer. The show has a lot of problems and unanswered questions, but this isn't one of them, he says, with an exclamation point. I guess so. No, it's true. It's just low-hanging fruit. It's like, you know, the smoke monster explained a lot of the things about the shaking trees, you know, in the first night that they were there on the island and that sort of thing.

I guess it took them releasing the DVD and adding a little bonus segment to explain where all the food kept coming from. That was one of the last things to get explained as like, where all these food drops coming from? Yeah, they're all getting to eat somehow. The thing that's different about it and say the show from is that they don't, it's not clear that someone's controlling this, but on Lost it always felt like that was clear. Yeah, that it was right. It was the Dharma initiative because they found those. once they found the stations, once they found that first station,

the swan, was the swan the first one? I think so. Yeah, the one that Locke pounded on in the spring. Exactly, that Desmond was living in. Amazing end of that season, though, by the way. It really is, right? Like, he's just pounding on it, and he's like, you know, God, let me have this thing.

And then it lights up. He's like, such a great issue. It's amazing end of a season. I hated waiting for that resolution the next year. Oh, my God. the next year opens with your own kind of music by

the Mamas and the Pappas or what are Mama Cass and you're like well is this a flashback what's going on here because it's like somebody making breakfast and then doing their exercise and then you find out oh that's Desmond in the hatch and he hears Locke pounding on it

is such a great opening to a second season he was hanging out with Mr. Crabs in there right if I remember for a while yeah until Mr. Crabs um, uh, uh, confess that there's no, um, there's no poison gas outside that you don't need to wear a, uh, uh, a hazmat suit to get out. I forgot there was that whole thing where he thought he was being saved from whatever was outside the whole time. Right, right. What a twisted thing that show was. Oh, so good. Yeah. I loved it. Uh, well, all right. Thank you, Evan. Uh, you're right. You're

right. You're right. You're right, Evan. There's, it's, it's just, the polar bear is just a fun, low-hanging fruit thing to pick on. And believe me, you know, no one loves that show more than me. No one loves that show more than me. But I'm going to make some fries. It's just easy to pick on that thing because to pick on one of the other unexplained mysteries, you have to do a lot more explanation. Yeah. I mean,

and I've always been of the opinion that the smoke monster is a little bit dumb and superfluous. Like it didn't really accomplish anything serious for me. I felt like an experiment gone wrong was the idea, but I didn't, I never thought that thing was. cool like it just seemed oh a smoke monster and then no real monster is the man in black is

uh is uh is uh the the personification of evil that is fighting jacob for control of the island yeah but it's it dabbles in like i don't know this is this is where the show starts to veer off into hoo-hoo-huh toward the end this is where this is where you realize you better do another rewatch of uh of the show scott to figure out what the smoke monster really is i guess so. I mean, I know what it represents and I know what it is, is, but it's just like, is this world have, like, they were never clear. Is the world got some supernatural qualities to it? Or is it all run by? No, dark, good and evil are physical manifestations on the island of Jacob and the man in black. And, um, uh, and it's, uh, the man in black is able to, to become the smoke monster. was he was he um it was not johnny cash no i know what you're going to ask no no no i was going to ask if it was

which one was titus willover i don't remember which one he played he was the man in black yeah titus well over and then later luck next time you see titus wall over look at the way his legs are shaped and i'm not i'm not making a judgment it's weird yeah no yeah it's weird no he's he's he is a he is an individual that uh has a stance that means you cannot knock him over like he is yeah sturdy that should be it should be one of the factors of bosh is that uh bosh you can't knock him over yeah that guy is immovable if he's standing there uh all right one other thing real quick before we get to tadpooly feud went to lunch with my friend mark and uh we haven't seen each other in a while probably five

years we went to high school together hung out all the time long history and um before going over there i was going through some some boxes and i found some old paperbacks particularly a copy of, oh, I didn't bring it here. I should have, a copy of Moby Dick that I have, a paperback version that's really thick. That's cool. And in that book, the reason I have it isn't because I've read Moby Dick. I haven't. Never read it.

I liked it because it had thick margins. So really wide margins. Yeah. So me and Mark back in the day, junior high through high school, would sometimes for hours, like on a Saturday afternoon, would sit on a couch and draw animated stories. on these things like flip pages in the margins. And I've got stacks of these books somewhere. Oh, wow.

Where it's just like, and it's usually stuff like a little basketball guys playing or little stick man jumping off a cliff or, you know, not much in the way of stories. But I was curious, I'm throwing it out there if anyone else used to do this. Like, I used to tell my mom, if you're going to a garage sale, find some paperbacks. I'm all out of. I need drawing paper. Yeah. Find some paper bags and make sure that they've got wide margin.

I need thick margins, and the thicker the better because it's a very homer Neapolitan ice cream aspect to that, Scott. Oh, yeah, for sure. Like, I could have gone the traditional way and just got paper and do it like everybody else did it. Yeah, right. But it was already bound, you know, you could just grab it and flip it. It was like our own little portable little cartoon thing. And I loved doing those so much. It's a little Sergio Artegones kind of quality to it, for sure.

Yeah. And they were, you know, they were often violent. Like the one of Moby Dick, this guy jumps off a cliff, and the way I did it, it seemed inventive to me, but it's the world is animating. The guy's just falling. So he's holding still. So he's staying in one place and the world is moving up.

Yeah, a cliff is going up. There's rocks on a cliff. They pass by. A stick will come out. But then he would get hit on the head with a stick and then flip around a bunch and then get hit by a rock. And then eventually at the bottom, he'd like impale himself on a giant spike or something like that. Oh, that's awesome.

Anyway, I just throwing that out there to see if anyone else out there had this little obsession because, man, I couldn't get enough of that shit when I was younger. No, that's cool. And I kept all those books, drove my mom nuts. Mom, find me the biggest, baddest book you can find. And she'd come back with, like, turns out, like, dirty harlequin romance novels. I didn't know what was in them. I didn't care.

I was just, I want to do this. For all I know, I'm, you know, there's a guy getting impaled on a spike as there's a sex scene going on. I don't know. As a woman getting impaled. Yeah, I'm the same page. Yeah. For all I know, I didn't read any of that. Right. Well, good. I don't know. I think it would have been funny if some of those things related to the action going on in the book. Like, you can flip through and get a 30-second flip-book version of the novel that you could be reading.

Yeah. It's like, uh, yeah. Clips margins. I had to figure out a way, I probably could film it, just mount my camera and do like a, and just like preserve them digitally or something because these books are all pretty yellow and going away. So, the other option is to scan and you don't want to do that. in each individual page and that'd be a nightmare. Desiree says I should show my old drawings online. Y'all don't want to see some of this stuff.

It's bad. Like I was a kid who thought he was a decent artist when he wasn't. And when I was in junior high school, I was like, yeah, me and my friends, we know how to draw. We're good. I look at that shit now and go, ooh. Sure. Oh, brother. Anyway, let's get to the game.

We're playing a game. Yeah, sounds good. I like that idea. fun is ready to be had here i guess i'm in the wrong oh i almost added i almost called claire and then hung up on you oh don't don't call clear no we're not doing that i mean she may be the she may be the fourth caller i don't know that's that's a different issue but uh it's true yeah we have no control over who the fourth uh caller yeah i just take fourth caller regardless of who you are um let's see who we have today okay oh our fourth booth that was fast our fourth person is

someone i've never heard of before so this could be interesting Let me just see if I can add them to the call. I'll play our little intro, and off we go. I should really log in as well. Hey, it's Brian Dunaway joining us for a little bit of the old tadpooley feud. Hi, Brian. How are you? No, hi, Scott, and Brian. Hey.

Is it Wednesday already? That was fast. It was really fast. I don't like how fast it was. This week is going so fast already. Jeez. Is it Halloween? When is Halloween? Are we going to meet before Halloween or after Halloween? Are we going to meet?

We are going to meet for film sack, you mean? Yeah. Yeah, we have film sec this weekend. Sunday and then Halloween is a week from Thursday, a week from tomorrow. Cool. Yeah. Isn't that great? I think that's pretty great.

Is it a problem that I've already eaten all my candy? Yes. Yes. All right. You're diabetic now. Go talk to your doctor around. Even worse, even worse that Adra bought nothing but full-size snares. So even worse that there's no fun size.

It was no fun. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, go get an A1C test today while you're eating all that candy. We have on the line with us. Is it all this sleepy? It is not normal. No, it's not normal at all.

Sabriel, am I saying that right? Sabriel. Sabriel. I don't know why I did it. The other way it was a fancy, like a fantasy novel. Sabriio. Present to the sword.

The cliffs of doom with a sword drawn. Yeah, I want that book. It's great having you because we've never had you on before. So welcome. No, no. First time. I've been listening to, gosh, all 26 whatever thousand episodes and first time call it. That's awesome.

I love that. Where are you calling from? I'm from Fargo, North Dakota, don't you know? Oh, the home of my favorite television series. That's fantastic. Yes, you do like the show. It's a little. The newspaper called The Forum, if I remember correctly.

That's right. The Fargo Forum. The Fargo Forum? Really, that's great. I like that. And you went out there for that. Well, obviously you did because you know the name. Yeah, yeah.

Did you, what was notable when you were there? I don't remember, I don't remember a single thing about Fargo. That's okay, gosh. When you were here, probably there was so much less. The city's grown up pretty decently now. And even the movie and the TV show that bears the name is mostly in Minnesota half the time. Right, yeah. Or good reason.

Yeah, it's rarely in Fargo. Well, anyway, I'm glad to hear from you and have you here. Brian, why don't you explain these rules and let's see if we can't win her some stuff. So totally we'll do that. time to play the tadpooly feud. I've surveyed the tadpool on some nerdy topics. And Scott and Brian are going to have to predict the answers that they gave us. It is their job to see how many of those answers

they can guess. Sabriel, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. And if your team wins, you'll get a prize package that includes. Oh, this is cool. This is courtesy of Lewis Loyo in the tadpool. Deep Sky Derolicts

and Deep Sky Derolict's new prospects. I own this game. It is rad. It's very very cool yeah the game and the expansion or dlc or whatever a new prospect is yeah cool it's really good fun all right well that could be yours depending on how they do with the following question uh scott brine please put your hands on your buzzers oh i forgot to do a number 11 in this one oh i'll do it manually i'll do it live um and give me your best answer to this what's the most entertaining

baseball movie Scott. Let's go with do you say entertaining? Make sure I get the word right. Yes, entertaining.

I'm going to press the button. The natural. The natural. Show me the natural. Number 10 answer. Big points. Big points, but

nine answers will beat it. I'm sure you're going to get this, but I love that movie. So that's all I could do. All I could say is Randy was yelling at the screen with Major League. Come on, Scott.

It's not that entertaining. It's fine. Show me Major League. Number one answer on the board. Have we ever done this? Have we ever done the sandwich of 10 and 1 in the first shot? No, never, never. Wow.

No, I don't know. I don't even know if you've ever gotten 10 in the opening salvo. Wow. All right. Yeah, it's pretty well done. So, Sabriel, you're going to be working with Brian. the two of you have a lot of ground to cover. Scott's already leading with 10 points to your one point.

So start naming some baseball movies. Yeah. How are you feeling about baseball movies? You got some in your mind? I have one that I liked a lot. Terrible about sports movies, but I still have a few baseball ones in mind. My first one that came to mind was Sanlott. Yes, that's the one.

Oh, duh. D. Surprise that wasn't number one. I hope with this one you haven't run out of ideas. Oh, oh. We're in, we're done. All right. Show me.

You're killing me, Smalls. The Sandlot. Yeah. Number four answer on the board. Give me some Hercules. Was it Hercules? Was that the name of the dog that, that Darth Vader had?

Darth Vader's dog? I don't remember it was Hercules, but it was a big gnarly dog, but it was actually. What was it? Goliath, maybe. That sounds right. Goliath, that sounds more right. That sounds more right. That was filmed here, man.

They still have that old lot and they keep it safe, or they keep it undeveloped so that people can tour it and see it and stuff out here. whenever you know so if you're in yaw you're in midvale you can go seek out the sandlot and find it it's pretty great really cool is there a black or something in there that oh i don't know if there is it's also a little bit weird because the house where james r old jones supposedly live is not actually physically adjacent to the lot so that's all made up that part wait wait that's just not that's not fact no well i mean the movie look movies are facts so it's fine believe what you want to believe you believe um so hercules is the

the name of the dog but the kids called him the beast and that's what it was the beast the lieth is good yeah i got to lay down for a minute because finding out he doesn't live next door to the sand lot i don't i know it's a real trick of the mind that they did there but uh yeah i feel like i feel like a kid laying next to the pool trying to get some CPR um yeah who all right we got any more baseball movies i'm realizing even though i said i don't have any. I'm thinking of more. A league of their own. Oh, that's perfect. Duh. Damn it. That's such a good one. Hey, there's no crying in that.

There's no crying in the best ball. Sure. Show me a league of their own. Yeah. Yeah. Good and juicy. Yeah, people like that one. The show was good, too, by the way. The little brief series they had. I never saw the TV show. I like it. It's good. It's good. I'm sad. It got canceled, but I think it had legs and it could have gone longer. but I don't know. It's one of those smaller. It felt small and like off the radar kind of thing, but it was great. Right, right.

Had that girl you like Brian from, not girl, she's a woman. The woman you like from. Girl, you'll be a woman. From community. You love her. Sounds creepy. Allison Bree, I think. I think Allison Bree was in that.

Am I thinking of the right actress? Maybe not. I like her and I like Gillian Jacobs. I like them both. Yeah. They're all great. Anyway, you guys are on a roll Continue to be Chess, the other girl from

We're picking, we're picking good ones And unfortunately, that's not a lot of points. Anyway, go ahead, please. I got two more, and then I'm, the well is dry. Oh, good, do it. You got two more. And they're going to be high ones, I think. Bad news bears.

Oh, see, there's Randy. Randy's been yelling all morning. He loves those baseball games. Old school. Show me those bad news bears. Oh, that is your number 11. I just forgot to put it in the list. That is what I am talking about.

It does give you a bonus guess. Yeah. Dang. I don't know. What you got? What else you got? Last one. If you build it for the quotes wrong, whatever.

Yeah. If you build it, they will come or I will build it and he will come. What is it? Field of Dreams is the word you're looking for. Field of Dreams. That's right. Show me Field of Dreams. Also with Darth Vader in there.

That's right. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And what is the, is that one where people always get the quote wrong? Like, if you build it, they will come, but really it's he will come. Yeah. If you build it, he will come was the whisper that he heard.

Yeah. His dad or whatever. Yeah. That's such a great, what a great freaking movie. I love children's. Yeah. Look at you too, sweeping down side one. All those points are on side two. At least you've tied up the score.

So a question or answers five through nine is still available. Now, I have one that. We did, when was it, two years ago? I watched it on VHS. If you are out, I have one. I'm out entirely now. All right, perfect. Then let's go make out with Sarandon.

Is it Sarandon? I think that's Bull Durham. Yes. I believe in long, slow walks on the beach. I believe in Helo and Stitch. I believe in the Spice Girls. And I believe in Bull Durham. Yeah.

number eight it took a while it scared me how long it took yeah the internet that seems like well you're not you haven't won one you're one yet but I feel real I feel real good about her chances

at this point you guys are killing it too I feel pretty good I feel pretty good wait wait there's one more I thought got one I don't remember the name of it give me the description two guys trying to make money two guys trying to make money Brewster's millions.

I remember maybe that. I remember making fun of my friends who'd liking this money. Oh. Oh, money ball. You're thinking of money ball. Oh, money ball. Okay.

Yeah, Brad Pitt and chubby guy from the other thing. Jonah Hill. Jonah Hill. Isn't there a baseball movie with money? Money balls. I don't know this is a good answer. This is the only thing I can think of.

Is that even about baseball? Yeah, it was about baseball. Yeah, for sure. Okay. Show me, your money balls. I don't listen to that guy. Oh, my gosh. Wow.

Still never seen Moneyball. I keep hearing. I've missed out terribly by not seeing it. Oh, it's good. Yeah, it is really good. Yeah. I'll have to watch it. It's on Netflix, I think.

Or Max. All right, suckers. Now, all right, suckers. Now I'm going to get into the couple of the, there was a couple of kid movies besides Sandlot. They never took off of baseball movies. And one of them I watched recently, but I think everybody's forgotten about it. And I keep trying to get everybody to watch it.

I'll let you take the pick. Angels in the Outfield. I don't know. or the rookie. Rookie of the Year. Oh, I remember Rookie the Year. Had that one kid who was in that one thing.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Rookie of the Year. Man, you fit right in with us with this, that one kid, the one of us, one of us. I swear, I do the same thing you do, Scott. It's like, dude, what was in, whatever. You know what I'm talking about. I love doing that.

That's my favorite way of yourself. So what are you choosing? What are you doing? So, Ricky the Year. Ricky the Year. All right. That's one with the arm, right? The one where he's got like the shortened tendon or something.

Yeah, he breaks his arm or does something bad to his arm and then it becomes an amazing pitch. And then later he gets it fixed. And of course, was like a divorce parent or something. Yeah, it's some Disney-ified bull crap. That's what it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If I remember, right.

All right. All right. Show me, I did it for the rookie, the rookie, the rookie up here. Number nine. All for the rookie. Wow. That might run this board. That might, that does lock up the game.

So congratulations. mathematically you have done it well done yes it's still two answers left now we could say anything whatever you want whatever you want oh the other one brian um oh the other one is angels in the outfield which i think they recently brought back to disney it's the one with uh where they're they're literally seeing angels in the outfield oh yeah i always conflate the that and the christopher lloyd in that one is one he's the angel he's the angel he's the angel he's the angel it's actually in the title Wasn't there an angel? Just kidding. Go ahead.

Who played the ghosts in Angels and the Outfield? All right, is that what you're going with? Angels and Outfield. All right. Show me Angels in the Outfield. Look at seven. Holy Spots. Really don't like that movie.

I know I wasn't the intended audience, but I don't like it. We have no X's. Neither one of us. Nobody is right. A new one. Oh, my God. Yeah, I think this. Oh, now I'm nervous.

This has happened maybe once before that you guys got all the answers without any strikes. I did say rookie of the year, but I didn't mention the rookie. I love the rookie. I love the rookie. Yeah. Such a great movie. It's based on true story, too. It's really good.

Yeah, yeah. I'm going with you. I've got nothing. Yeah. We're going to go give us, so you can sing the song again, Ibitt. I did it for the rookie, the rookie, the rookie, but not the rookie of the year. show me the rookie oh

yeah tied for 21st place the rookie oh my gosh there's that many yeah there are that many oh man the rookie's not on there

shit all right let's go with that's not going to happen all right John Goodman in like the 90s was in Babe Ruth

The movie was called I think it was just called The Babe Or just Babe or something A babe movie about Babe Ruth Oh babe is the pig So yeah Not the Babe right It has to be the babe

I think Yeah Let's go with that John Goodman as the babe You remind me of the babe Show me the babe Damn it I did say it by the way

I did say it right before the tadpole started saying There's that delay I think Yeah no no the babe and not even in the list, amazingly. Nobody said the babe. Okay.

All right, what else you got? You two. That's a good question. Mr. and Mrs. cleared the board. Mr. What did you say? Mr. Baseball? I said you guys are Mr. and Mrs. Baseball. You guys are killing it.

Oh, Mr. Baseball, though. That was a movie. Was that a movie? Yeah, yeah. Who is in that? Was it? Isn't it Blushie? I think that's another baseball movie

I think you're thinking about Who was in that one? Mr. Baseball You went to Japan Was it Tom Selleck? That is Tom Selleck You go to Japan? Tom Salk goes to Japan.

That's right. Dennis Haysburg. We were really into those Let's do something in Japan movies back then Yes Because we didn't understand Can we look at chat? Yeah, oh yeah

You can totally look at chat All right, didn't even think of this one Someone brought up basketball Oh, shit. Basketball is kind of a cross between the two, right? Yeah. I unapologetically, unironically love basketball. It's so stupid, though.

So stupid. But I love it. All right. That your answer? It was entertaining. What's your answer? Let's go with it. Basketball.

All right. Show me basketball. Look at that piece. All that talk of Trey Parker and Matt Stone earlier. This should have been a little bit of a notch. Very good. Baseball. closing out the board, final score 45 for Brian and Sabriel and 10 for Scott.

I'm surprised 42 wasn't on there. Everybody loves that movie. Oh, yeah, 42. That was number 12 or 15 in the list. Let's talk about what else is in this list. For Love of the Game, number 12, the naked gun, really just because of that one scene. Oh, I forgot about. New Rico Palazzo, yes.

Benchwarmers, number 14. 42 was number 15. Ken Burns Baseball, number 16. Never seen it. The aforementioned Mr. Baseball was number 17. Brewster's Millions, again. Really? Yeah, side B-story baseball team, number 19.

Fever pitch, number 20. Airbud, number 21. Wait, Airbud was a basketball. That's a basketball movie. That's a basketball movie. Didn't they make, like, one for a bunch of sports? They probably did. Yeah, there is a, there is one for baseball.

version of Arabud, but you remember what it's called, yeah. And then we get into all the single answers here. Armageddon, because they have to knock the asteroid out of the space part. Bang the drum slowly. Big League. Don't know what that is. Oh, yeah, Big League. Big.

Bingo long traveling all stars and motor kings. Don't know what that is. Damn Yankees. That I know. Eight Men Out. Everybody wants some. Everyone's hero. I'm not American, which I'm pretty sure is not a movie title,

is just somebody saying that apparently they don't make release movies outside of the U.S. in baseball or baseball-related movies. Yeah, if there's one thing I know for sure, American movies never go over outside of the States. Never go overseas. Never, exactly. Major League 2, we really only had one person who said Major League 2. Mr. Wonderful. Was that Belushi?

I always get those. That might have been, that might have been Belushi, right? Yeah. And Sarah O'Connor, right? Or Sarah Connor. Oh, yeah. Signs. Space Jam. Nope. Taking care of business. The kid from left field. The longest yard. Nope. The perfect game. Did you say signs? Do you say signs earlier? Oh, the scout? I did say signs. Yeah. Is there a baseball scene and signs?

I don't think so. Yeah. I mean, he bats all the water. Remember, that's how he kills the. Oh. All right, that's actually pretty funny, now that you say. That is pretty funny. The Scout, here is the funniest answer, though, right here, the Warriors. Oh, that is hilarious. Also, bats.

Baseball theme gang. That's awesome. No pride of the Yankees on there yet? I guess you'll get to it. No, no mention of it at all. Trouble with the curve, undrafted, untrafted, touchables. It sounds like a man problem. And the only smart alecky answer I'm going to give credit to right here is,

whichever one is shortest. Wow. Oh, really? Oh, I love a baseball game. I do too. Baseball movies. I don't know if I love them, but I certainly know what I'm getting when I get involved with one. I really like them. Yeah, exactly.

I'm a fan. You know, there's going to be inspiring moments and, you know, it's going to be great. Exactly. Yeah. Why hate something fun? If you don't like baseball, that's fine, but movies are a different breed. Yeah, man. Yeah.

Anyway, congratulations, Sabriel. You get prizes. Yeah, and here's the cool thing, Sabriel. You'll get those code or you'll get that code or a set of, of codes from Brian, but also, because you're a first-timer, you're going to get a frog pants fun pack, which includes stickers, prints, and other cool stuff in the mail.

Want to see someone play lunacy for the Sega Saturn? well here's your chance yep he's the only other person is retro as done away is that dude he's the got to hang out with him man he's awesome yeah he's cool dude love having him and tonda at uh the southeast meetup that's a that's a buddy that's a buddy cop movie i want to see it is it is we should have put them in the same room yeah hell yeah tonda had to share a bathroom with me and tina so i'm really sorry about the smells that you had to deal with when you finally walked in there oh the things brian does to a bathroom oh no it's tina trina oh responsible for the smells.

Ryan, it wasn't me this time. Ryan, please go in the bathroom and pretend it was you. That's terrible. That's my, I think, new favorite use of Tina's voice just now. That was really good. She'll love that. She'll totally love that when she hears the set of a set. All-timer.

All right. I picked this. story because of you, because it has a connection to things you love. Yes, I'm so glad you did, yeah. A man caught with cocaine, meth. I love cocaine. Oh, wait, meth. Meth. You like cocaine. You like meth, but guess what he likes even more

than those things? Stolen vintage X-Men comics. It's a particular, X-Men comics number one. Yeah. As vintage as you get with the X-Men. If they mean, I wonder if they mean the original like, you know, Cyclops, angel, beast, all that, or if they mean

that X-Men one, when they, when it was just called X-Men, not uncanny X-Men, but the, um, the one that had the Jim Lee five panel cover that you could put together that had them all. Right. Good question. They don't, they just call a copy of classic X-Men number one, but I don't know what that. Oh, I'm looking at a photo. This is, this isn't even that.

This is the, um, class, this is the comic called Classic X-Men with all the art Adams, uh, artwork that reprinted all of the, um, yeah, yeah, that's maybe worth what, uh, 20 bucks. I've got that. I don't have it signed, but I absolutely have that comic. Yeah, even in Mint, that's not a big deal. It should have been obvious from the capital classic. That should have been the giveaway. Yeah, exactly. I mean, who knows, you know, who knows what they meant by that. But, uh, yeah, good point. Yeah. They actually really do mean classic X-Men. Also a bunch of baseball or basketball cards. I was hoping it was baseball because, you know, we just talked about it. But anyway, officers are cruising the Georgetown neighborhood. This is in

Seattle, along with, or a long airport way south near South Hardy Street, they spotted a Hyundai Allantra that appeared to be stolen and was parked nearby. They still make the Alantra, right? Is that a thing? I can go by that. I think so. I think so. It's like they're, I should see a lot of them. It's like their corolla or whatever, right? Yeah, your camera or whatever, right? I guess they won't make the camera anymore, but it is like, it's the equivalent of their... What am I thinking of? It's like, we had a, we had a Hyundai, but I don't remember what we had. Anyway, wasn't that. Officers then began investigating and found a 53-year-old man sitting in the driver's seat

according to police. The man told officers he borrowed the car from a friend two months ago, but the car had been reported stolen less than 24 hours earlier, so he lied. Officers then searched the car and found cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl. Oh, they buried the headline with the fentanyl

there. They really did, yeah. You don't need much of that. You just need a little pinchy pinch, is what I understand. It says they also found presumably stolen basketball cards and comic books, including a graded and signed copy of classic X-Men number one. Probably worth a little more if it's signed, I guess.

I don't know. Maybe. I mean, it's signed by Art Adams I'm looking at it right now. But in addition to that, there is also Fantastic 4-82, which has the Inhumans on it. I don't know if it's a, I mean, it's definitely an early appearance of the Inhumans. Spider-Man, the Amazing Spider-Man number 70. These are, you know, the rest of these are all 12-cent comics. That classic X-Men is like a, you know, a dollar something or whatever it is.

it's a dollar comic what else daredevil 24 yes during kazar batman wow that's an early batman um i don't know who what number i can't see the number on that one and regular x-men like original x-men um 30 which is an early early that's very early though why they're focusing on this classic x-men it's really just like oh that must be a really valuable one because it says classic X-Men on this website Como News is like well how do we know which one's the better comic for our story? How about the one with

classic in front of it? Exactly Yeah. Lame. It says here police arrested the man, booked him in the King County Jail for investigation of possession of narcotics and intent to sell the possession, sell, sorry, sell and possession of a stolen vehicle. They wrote this on

their post for the public. They said, quote, if you know who may own the comic books, please reach out to police and referenced this case number, and they gave the number. That tells me that they've already asked the owner of the car, which was also stolen, and he said, those aren't my comic books. So somehow this guy's got a stolen car and separately stolen comic books, and then separately all the drugs.

He had an afternoon, is what I'm getting at. He did, yes. What a weird combo of things, though, you know? See, I got my Elantra, I got my fentanyl, I got my classic comics, X-Men number one, I got a little meth. Then I got some cocaine. Baseball cards. I mean, you know, the, yeah, it is really weird.

It's, uh, why keep all that stuff in your car? Very, very odd. Anyway, good luck, everybody. And if you're missing comics, you know who to call. Goose, busters. All right, that's going to do it for the news today. We're going to take a break when we come back. Tom Merritt will be here.

We'll talk some tech. We'll do some recommendals after that. Stay tuned. Before that, a song from Brian. What did you put in the middle today? Oh, this is good. It's a solo song. I love a good solo song.

This is by Pond, and the song's called Solo. What? What? Like the Cubs? Like the Cupp? Or playing Warcraft by yourself? What do they mean? Yes, all of those, all of those things.

This is actually a band. It's not really one person. Pond is a five piece, and their brand new album called Stung is out right now. This is a song from that album, but they are touring North America. And they've released live at Lodge Room, which is a full concert video, chronicling their triumphant U.S. tour stop earlier this year in Los Angeles. These guys are, I think, from Australia.

Where are they from? Does it say it doesn't say... This is a knife. Oh, go ahead. Yeah. Who knows? Yeah. I can't tell.

I'm scanning through their bio stuff here, and I cannot figure out where they're from. Anyway, the band is called Pond. the song So Low. A pre-deliction In bedded in the start-time fiction No I feel so low I shouldn't learn by now

Tom's coming. He's coming in hot. Here we go. Right here. We want to come. Tom Merritt, joining us as he does each and every Wednesday that he's able, anyway, to talk to us about various things happening in the world around us, near us, mostly in the tech sense.

And so we're going to do that today. Tom Merritt, welcome back to the show. How are you? I am on the wrong. camera. How are you? I'm pretty good. You're definitely on the wrong camera. Hey, while you fiddle with that, let me give you a text someone sent about you. Can I read that to you real quick? Yeah, sure. All right, here it is. Text for Tom. This did not have a name on it, so we can't really, you know, point fingers. Uh-oh. Anonymous. Great. They're my favorite. Uh, it says last

Wednesday when Tom came on TMS, he sang two lines of the who song, sorry, of a who song, or of a the who song. It is still stuck in my head this morning. Do you remember what that was? He didn't elaborate, but what whose song would you have referenced last Wednesday? No, I've got Shatner's disease. I don't remember anything I say. Oh, Shatner's disease. That could be so many things, but in this case, it's, I can't remember. Yeah, I don't remember either. I was going to go back and check, and I thought, well, maybe Tom will remember and we'll just find out on the show. Maybe someone in chat remembers. Yeah, someone might, yeah, if you guys do. I sort of vaguely remember singing something. I'll take it as read that it's a who song. well we won't get fooled again no next time we won't let this happen

here's uh here's shatner's the teenage wasteland here's shatner's response to what you said oh jesus that's him in the space space thing anyway tom it's good to have you here he's him at church we're going to go he goes to church he's a church going guy uh we're going to get into the tech talk today because that's what we do on a Wednesday

before all ahead of the daily tech news show today at 2 p.m and uh what's going on what's brewing percolating well the big news is this like legal dispute between Qualcomm and Arm, which we'll talk about on DT&S today, I'm sure, but did you see Mark German's little nugget? Oh, actually, no, it's not German in this case. It's 9 to 5 Mac. 9 to 5 Mac's little nugget that Apple seems to be creating a game app for iOS.

A game app. So it would be like a game app store separate from the app store. Oh, interesting. and integrate with Game Center. Right now, I mean, they're still developing it, so it wouldn't come until the next operating system, iOS 19, if it ends up being true at all. But according to 9 to 5 Macs sources,

it would have a Play Now tab, a tab for your games, your friends, some editorial content, recommendations, and then challenges, leaderboards, achievements from Game Center would go in there as well. special gaming events and some kind of integration with FaceTime and IMessage so that you could chat while you're gaming

on your phone. Oh, interesting. I'll bet that includes some kind of streaming plans if I'm to guess like YouTube, not YouTube, but like TikTok. Vertical streaming in phone games is actually a thing now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I could see that. I can't integrate that, but they don't say anything about that in the rumor, I guess. I was reading about this. You know what this sounds like to me? This sounds like they're saying, okay we have Apple Arcade and it's sort of separate and over there

and then we have the App Store which is just chock full of everything and games and it's all just and there's free to play all mixed in with premium with ones where you can unlock premium and they're all different it's confusing as hell these days like it's not great so this sounds like less of a we're going to make a game store and more of a we need to organize this to be its own thing is what it sounds like to me I like that, yeah. Yeah, it sounds like that to me, too, because if you go to the app store, you will know that it is kind of overrun with games.

Like, they sort of shoehorn games outside of the rest of the app store so that you can find other apps. And it does feel like games is big enough that it could deserve its own app. And then you can do some fun things like this rumor is talking about or this leak. It's not a rumor so much as a leak. So, yeah, I think this would make sense. I know Gizmodo was trying to pitch it as like Apple puts the sticks of thumb and epic's eye. You're going to have your own app store.

We'll have our own game app store. And I'm not sure that Apple cares in that way. And that's why this does feel more like it just has too much gaming content in the app store. And it thought, oh, we can consolidate a bunch of stuff if we've moved it into its own thing. Yeah. Plus, curation is a thing. And their curation early in the app store days worked pretty well. Because again, you didn't have the scale problem.

You don't have the volume problem, but now you have so much stuff. And like to everybody who always said, oh, they're so restrictive about content, the kind of games that can get, and they have rules and this. I don't think their rules are all that stringent because there are some garbage in there. There is tons of crap in the app store. And it's hard to know what's good or what isn't good. I would love a more clear, these are the top 10 premium sellers. These are the top 10 free to play games. Like Steam does.

Basically, I'm asking for Steam, a Steam type curation. in an app store like this makes a lot of sense for gaming. So it also fits in with Apple's pivot to services, right? Which, you know, is in slow motion. So a lot of people forget. I still regularly hear people say, well, you know, Apple's business is built on selling hardware. And it hasn't been that for a long time.

It has to keep selling the hardware while it makes the pivot. But Apple's future business is built on services. And they're very clear about that when you talk to them about it. So this is another step towards that of like, let's give you a very good game service. Let's give you a really good reason to subscribe to Apple Arcade or take advantage of Apple Arcade if you have one of the bundled subscriptions to give you a really robust gaming service. And, you know, knowing Apple, it'll probably be pretty decent. That curation thing can combine with Apple intelligence and say like, hey, we know what the great games are. And we also have an algorithm that can tell what kind of games you like.

so we can tailor the recommendations better. Yeah, and you could also, I could see a future for this where they're also showcasing premium games that usually you associate with desktop. So, you know, last year they were showing off the... Yeah, go ahead. Right, right, right, right. The porting, right?

Yeah, like when they put, well, I guess I got delayed, so now it's all a bit weird, but Ubisoft and the new Assassin's Creed was supposed to be out this fall, like right around now. And I got delayed. But it was supposed to come. They were making a big deal about, oh, the iPad Pro M4 is going to run that natively. It's going to be a beautiful in this sort of thing.

I could see those kinds of gaming experiences showing up in their own column. Obviously, this would also be Mac, Apple TV, other devices. So they would want to service all of those things with a unified store. I think it's a smart idea. Like, you can, it's easy to scoff at mobile games. I do it all the time. But this is a great, this is just something I think is just needed. I don't even think it's like a forward thinking profit center idea.

It's not innovative. It's just, it's. just need it. Yeah, it's needed. It's just vative. Yeah, it's just vative. I need more enno, less baited. Just plainvation. Yeah, so anyway, we'll see. Do we have a date or any kind of idea on when we might see data? This is just sources inside Apple reportedly telling 9 to 5 Mac, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So it does seem like it's the kind of thing you might see at WWDC in June, potentially. It feels like it's far enough along that that might be the case. Yeah, and very developer-centric, so that would be a great place to do it. Yeah, exactly. Excellent. Well, we'll see what happens there. Later today on the Daily Tech News show, we've got all kinds of stuff to talk about, including a conversation you and I've had on that show and here a couple of times about how Netflix does this weird.

They got their fingers and gaming cookie jars, but it's not always clear what their plan is. Sometimes it's like AI fingers. A little bit. We don't know how many they have. Yeah, we don't know how many fingers that you got to look real close to see how many fingers they put in there. But we've always had this feeling of like they're going to slowboat this until they find out what's right for them. They're not in a hurry because they don't need to be. Well, they had a big thing happen.

And we're going to talk about it today. They dumped their only two-year-old AAA studio they started, just two years into it with no games to show or anything. And I have all kinds of theories on it. We're going to get to dig deeper into that. They think they are Google? Yeah. What the hell? The new Google is Netflix.

Oh, no. They sure cancel a lot of shows. But anyway, yeah, we're going to talk more about that on, of course, the full lineup of great tech stories on today's show. Can't wait for it. Tom, anything else going on that you'd like to mention today? Now has never been a better, there has never been. Now is the great time, but there has never been a better time for me to shut up and you to subscribe to the Daily Tech newsletter.

Yes. We wish him well in his meeting. No one likes meetings, but... No, this could have been an email, really. It could have been a doozy of an email. We'll find out later if it could have been, I guess, from him. But we're going to get Nicole in here and do this right here if I can play the damn thing. Where is it?

Oh, my gosh, I'm on the wrong tad. That would be why I can't see it. Here we go. Well, what do you recommend? And joining us now, Nicole Spagnolo from the Wood Whisper headquarters in Missouri. Yes. I am in the shop, yep. Oh, you're in the shop right now, are you?

I've never seen the best Bob he's ever seen. Yeah, I've never seen anything like it. like Jean too like also Mateo is Jean perfect dead on but Mark is Bob like it's quiet disdain oh my gosh he never really enjoys when I make him dress up well neither with neither would Bob that's a genuine look that's great yeah Bob would hate it too I am Linda yeah well well done that looked awesome you're here as usual to talk about streaming stuff we're going to do some recommendations. We're going to start with Brian. And these are things from streaming services we have

seen and think maybe you guys might like to. Sometimes we warn you against stuff. Sometimes we do both because it's good in some ways and we just warn you that maybe it has a little violence or it has this or whatever. So we're going to find out from Brian what he picked this week. Brian, what do you got? Wow, that is actually even the case with this one. You're going to think, if you're not familiar, you might think that this is, you're listening to a game show. Well, you're not. Here's my clip. Bachelor number one. Einstein said that sitting on a hot stove for a minute feels like an hour, but sitting next to a nice girl for an hour feels like a minute. That was his theory of special relativity.

What's yours? Um, what? I'll come back to you on that. Wait, hold on. Was that one, was that the actual question? When you invite a girl out for dinner, what do you expect in return? Are these a scripted question? Since I'm spending an arm and a leg on dinner, I'd like to think that she could at least provide the dessert. Oh, and what would you order for dessert?

Oh, you know. No, I don't. Tell me. Something hot. Like cherries flambé? Yeah, yeah, with lots of whipped cream. Sorry, I'm on a diet. Bachelor number one, how's that theory of special relativity coming along? Hmm?

Groovy, keep at it. Bachelor number three, what's the difference between a boy and a man? A boy thinks that buying a woman dinner means she owes him something. Okay, and what does a man think? well for starters he knows better than to start talking about dessert before he's made it through dinner i've no idea what this is i do because you said the name but i don't know what this is and and this this clip is um i don't want to say it's misleading but it is the crux of this film and the film is called woman of the hour and this is a crime thriller uh they came out last year i don't know if

this got released in um theaters it feels like it just went straight to Netflix for me, but premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival September of last year and then released by Netflix this last weekend. This is the based

on a true story about a serial killer that went on the dating game. And 1978, I believe, you've got this aspiring actress, Cheryl, played by Anna Kendrick, who is also your director

of this film, making her directorial debut. She goes on the dating game and Bachelor number three turns out to be the serial killer. And he's very well spoken, as they tend to portray serial killers in movies as being very well spoken. And basically stuff happens. And I'm not going to say what those things are. Now, this is, I'm going to do that warning here because. there is violence against women in this film.

It's shown off-screen, but it's still pretty shocking, or pretty, yeah, shocking is probably the best word. It's not a gory film, but it is... Sometimes worse when it's off-screen, right? Sometimes worse. Yeah, sometimes worse. Actually, yeah, and BioCal's right. Some of it is on screen.

Some of it's in the far distance. you're seeing stuff, but you also it's, you get a lot of set up with this character, this Rodney Alcala, who is the real life

serial killer that did this, before you even get to the dating game stuff. It's, yeah, it's pretty severe. Oh, that's right. Preston reminds me, there is some on-screen choking.

Yeah, this guy is a strangler. That's his, that's his MO as he strangles women. It's weird about this cast. There's so many, so many comedians in this. it's it will yeah Tony Hale is your is your game show host is your um not art flamming I can't

remember who the who the host of the uh the dating game was um his character in this is just ed but I don't know if that's short for the real guy or not like if I can't remember yeah um but uh Daniel Zavato is your serial killer dude and he um he's been in a bunch of horror stuff it follows and don't breathe and um beneath um so he's done a lot of horror stuff he's got the look for it the right look for it he's in that station 11 thing we love with uh yes yes it's one of the non horror things that he's actually done he's quite good in that i really liked him in it's great is yeah um but anyway it is uh it's it's fascinating and the fact that it's based on true

story you wonder how much of it has been sensationalized or or kind of exaggerating or glorified for the movie version. But even, again, you know, the fact that you can go on YouTube and see clips of this episode of the dating game where this woman is interviewing, you know, Bachelor No. 3 and he's a serial killer. She really talked to them like that? Well, that I don't know. It seemed like she was the killer. Yeah, I honestly, I had the same exact feeling of like, is she the serial killer?

I don't think so because that is a big plot point is that. that Anna Kendrix's character, you know, doesn't want to do this game show. You know, she's, she's this, she's got dreams of doing better things in acting, and then her agent puts her on this game show. And then she starts, without giving too much away, she starts reading the questions that they give her. And it's like, if you were an actor, you know, do your best impersonation of a teacher that is asking me to stay after class and that sort of thing.

And then during a break, she decides that she's going to kind of take control and ask the questions that she wants to ask. And so I don't think, I didn't, I haven't watched the, um, the full clips of the questions from the actual episode of the dating game, but I'm pretty sure that, that was, it just, it just made me think it was going to be like one of the, kind of like, um, what was it, hard candy. Mm. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Like where you think one thing is happening and then something else is happening. And there's, there was another movie where she was. kind of in a very submissive position, but she was actually in control of the whole thing. Anna Kendrick or a different actress? No, no, a different actress. And I'm pretty sure, Brian, you recommended the movie. I haven't had a chance.

Oh, yes. Is that promising young woman? Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You did talk about that one. I forgot about that. Carrie Mulligan. Oh, my God, that movie is so good.

Who's Pete Holmes in this? Because that's another comedian who I would not expect to be in a movie about certain colors. Let me see. he might be one of the says Terry but one of the other yeah Terry oh he is a neighbor another aspiring actor and uh he's a he's a neighbor of uh Anna Kendrick's he plays that pretty straight or is he pretty straight yeah kind of this this um snobbish

uh also aspiring actor who tends to get roles only because he's a guy which frustrates the crap out of uh Cheryl yeah yeah it's just wild to me I mean, I always have felt like comedic actors are great dramatic actors, so that's not really a surprise, but it's just so many of them in here. It's crazy. It's funny that there are now that you say that. Yeah. Wow. I love this Bachelor number two's actor's name is Jedediah Goodacre.

Goodacre. Yeah. What a name, dude. That's amazing. He's the one who plays that really smarmy like, uh, yeah, you know, something hot with a lot of whipped cream. Yeah. What a douche. He's a real total douchebag.

And he's actually the one in real life that interacted, that talked during the break with the Bachelor number three and said, oh, yeah, this guy's really creepy. Watch out for him. Wow. All right. Yeah. Yeah, this serial killer, the real life serial killer, they were only able to tie him to like five or six murders, but they think that he actually had victims in the 130s. Jeez. that's massive

it is massive that if they if that was I mean obviously they haven't been able to prove but if it was provable that puts him in the category of like your worst like like uh yeah your gays and your bundies bundies yeah that's bad

yeah only crap well uh sounds good though it's called one more time it's called woman of the hour it's on Netflix it's very very good um but just be aware that uh it's some scenes are going to be hard to watch uh with the violence so

I kind of want to see this You should You absolutely should You know It's It's so well I think it's really well Edited because of what you get

Surrounding this dating game episode All of the stuff that you get before and after it Sure Sure sure The setup and everything He's still around isn't he This guy Let's see

Yeah the real life I think he did he I thought he died in prison He's still alive Let's see It says there's a picture of him When was this taken? Yeah

he died in 2021. Oh, it shows a photo from February, oh, you know what, this article, this Forbes article might be older. Anyways,

a photo of in 2022 at some parole hearing or something. Oh, maybe. Yeah. Yeah, he, I think one of the characters

from this movie actually showed up to his parole hearing and basically put the final nail in his coffin about not, um, not getting out. Yeah,

don't let that guy go. He sucks. Yeah. Yeah. uh all right cool woman of the hour another another oh this i can ask you so the one about the the the horror movie with uh dasmalt chain chain whatever doing the yes yes yeah the 70s one uh late night with the devil does this do a good job of capturing that like look and vibe and all that it 100% does good yes especially in the tv stuff my god that feels so it feels so shag carpeting it hurts man yeah that whole middle that whole middle bit her her hair is a little a little too normal but everyone else looks perfect but she's got nice she has like modern hair kind of weird she does not that it matters since you brought up the 80s um have you heard of a band called the midnight the midnight so i listen so i listen to

halloween mixes all the time around holiday around Halloween i usually listen to i radios, but I moved over to Amazon Musics, and they introduced me to a band called The Midnight. They are a current band that sounds like they belong in the 80s. Oh, really? It sounds, it sounds, they sound like an episode of Stranger Things. Yeah, synth wave. Oh, really?

Oh, my God. Says their Atlanta, Atlanta, love their album covers are very, uh, but I'll send you a couple of songs. Somebody sent me this. Sorry, someone in our, someone in our community is yelling at me. right now because they actually sent me this and said, you should like this. I forgot that they were called the midnight, but yeah, they're all

sent wavy and very cool. They're good. Oh, I absolutely love. There's a couple of songs in particular that I'm, every time I listen to them, deal with the devil. And that's why I think I thought of it. It's called a, or devil. Yeah, something like that. Devil on your shoulder or something.

Anyway, it made me think of it. And I am so surprised I had never heard of them before, But check them out. This feels right up my alley. So I will check them out after the show. Yeah, I love these guys. A lot of synth wave now is no vocals, but these guys have singers, which is cool. Or a singer.

Oh, it's devil make a deal. So that's the song. That's the song you want to listen to. All right. I'm in. I like that they have song titles like Days of Thunder and Lost Boy. Yeah. But they're not.

They also have one called Time Cop 1983. Oh, really? Yeah. Which is a weird one. This is like a, you know, like devil make a deal was released in 2020. So they're, they're, I love it. Oh my God. Do they do a cover of Because the Night?

Yes, they do. It's really good. It's really, really good. Days of Thunder. Yeah. Excellent. Well, there's that. So check it out. Woman of the Hour available on Netflix, probably in perpetuity because it's the Netflix original.

Probably. Yeah. Although you never know these days. But it's spooky season. Watch it, watch it this month. for a really good, really good scare. Let's move on to Nicole.

Nicole got a clip here for yours and I'll... Yes, I have something scary to share too. Oh, good. Different kind of scary, though. Tell us a real scary. It's a real, real scary. All right. You want to play the clip and then we'll talk about it?

Yeah, yeah, go for it. Here we go. She had been carrying on what she believed was a, you know, internet-based relationship with Tegan for two years. And as I asked, you know, what types of information and things had been shared, there were three things I'll never forget, she told me. She told me that she had a song called God Help Yourself, which was a demo Tegan had written a few months ago.

And this was an era where demos were kept under, you know, lock and key very carefully. And so a leak of a demo was a really big deal to us. And then she told me she had Tegan and Sarah's passports that fake Tegan had shared passport scans. And when I saw them, they were the real thing. and that, of course, completely haunted us because obviously a passport scan can be the beginning of identity theft. And then possibly the most alarming thing from a personal standpoint was that she knew that Tegan Sarah's mom, Sonia, had breast cancer. That's wild. I assume this is that Tegan and Sarah documentary.

Tell us more. Yes. So this is called, what's the main title of it? I told you at that chat. Fanatical. Fanatical. The catfishing story. Everybody in the catfishing story, catfishing dog. Yeah. Yeah. Of Tegan and Sarah. So I had never heard of Tegan and Sarah. So when it came across my, I think it's on Hulu, right? When it came through, I'm like, who is Tegan and Sarah? And then I listened and their most famous song for me is Walking with the Ghost, which is, of course, on my current Halloween play mix. Oh, I would have thought for sure. it was the everything is awesome from the

Lego movie would have been Oh, did they do that too? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that was them. I had no idea. I thought everything was awesome was, what's his name from the He's on there as well, vocal wise. Yeah. I had no idea. That's great. I love those guys. So I, I knew their music. I didn't know the band. So as I kind of went into this

documentary, I was just kind of curious and I start watching it. I'm like, oh, oh, They're pretty well-known band. And they started, I think, in the 90s. And they kind of go through their evolution as a band. Their sisters, living in Seattle, right, I think? That's right, yeah. So what really caught me is that this has been going on for 15 years.

So what you heard was kind of their first indication that someone was being Tegan, which they end up calling Fegan, fake Tegan. So we got the documentary, Fegan. I will tell you that it's a hard documentary to watch because I want to pay off at the end. And there's really no payoff at the end. This is just a woman desperate to. kind of get control of her life again and she even says at the beginning you know everything in my body says don't do this don't do this documentary um because you're feeding into it and it's just

it's just kind of with how open people are and you know especially for her she she started in the early days of, you know, my space and connecting with the fans. And what this documentary really highlights is how fandom can be so toxic. And, and I think that's in the end. Yes, I would love to know who Fegan is, but really her, the message is, you know, we're people, you know, like, as much as you think you know me, you don't know me. So even though they don't reveal who the person is that's doing the catfishing in the documentary, did they catch this person, though? Like did they? No, no. Oh, wow. Okay. So it's still going on. So what is really kind of heartbreaking to watch is the all of the catfishing that happened to fans, other fans by Fegan. So and like creating. relationships and people really hurting and the real tegan you know taking responsibility and just

i mean it is not her responsibility but she she's such she's really kind and she's like you know i'm a victim in those two i know you're a victim and and it's really you get a sense that she's trying to heal from it all and trying to help the victims of it heal from it too so interesting um so when you say there's no payoff. I don't need documentaries necessarily to have a payoff, but do, I just want to know who it is. Is that, is that, and do they, I mean, yeah, sometimes that's frustrating, isn't it, that feeling? Yeah, it is. Yeah. But my hope is, I mean, and they even say in the credits, they have a few new leads. Um, and I'm wondering if anything happens because of the documentary too. I just, I, yeah, it's, yeah. Today, today I learned that Tegan and Sarah are,

from Canada. I think they're in Seattle now, but they're Canadian. And then I also learned that, I'm sure Brian knew this, the writers of that song are not, they didn't write it. It's a bunch of three other people, but the Lonely Island guys, who? Yeah. Lonely Island guys, isn't it that wrote it? They didn't write it. They just performed it with her. And then, because they're the male voice in it. And then Mark Mothersbaugh is the producer. Yeah. That guy just, Devo's mother's boss. He's just everywhere all the time, that guy. Just making shit. I started listening. to them I think it was the heartthrob album

because I'm a big fan of the producer Greg Kirsten who's the bee and the bird and the bee so everything he does now I seek out whether it's a pink album

or a Lily Allen album or whatever like everything that he produces just really connects with me and so I picked up their albums like oh my God I love this and that's what made me

kind of go back and hear their older stuff writers are people never heard of anyway go ahead sorry Nicole Dr. Calhoun in the chat says in interviews, they say they know, but they didn't want to name the person. I haven't seen any recent interviews. Well, there may be ongoing litigation. They can't

talk about it or something yet. Yeah. Yeah. Also, it leaves things open for a follow-up documentary, so. Oof, is what I, oof. But it's still a satisfying documentary, right? Even if you're not getting resolution, that aspect of it. Okay. It's an interesting look at fandom and how especially if you're an early fan how as that band or group or whoever rises how they feel like they kind of get left behind so I'll never forget when I it was when I was living in San Diego I went to a concert to go see a Tedzky do you know what I'm talking about yeah yeah yeah uh susan is it susan tideski yes it is yep or yeah yeah nick no it was nika costa so i i love her and it was not even her opener it was the opener for the opener and it was

maroon five oh wow weird so i saw them and i was like oh my god i love this band and i got to be part of their street team. I was like boots on the ground forum telling people, like they were a very small band. And as they kind of rose in popularity, they, you know, they kind of

the barrier to the band gets bigger. So you can't email them and you can't. So that's kind of what it kind of dives into is you see their star rising and some of the fans do feel

like they're abandoned but it's like when you grow like that you just it's hard you know so I know boohoo famous people but

yeah no you're almost but that's part of the toxic sure you were almost a roadie you were like this close to being a rowdy that's pretty cool

better than a group I knew Maroon 5 before they were big you win the hipster prize today that's perfect All right. Well, let's swing over to something that is way less scary. It's a comedy. And I don't usually do these. I'm usually the one bringing the dark business to the show. But for whatever reason. Mine's not definitely not a documentary either this time. But you're right. I usually do. This is a comedy film that just launched with some hype behind it, I would say, mostly for the cast and the director and some of that. But I'll get to it in a second. But it's going to be a mixed bag for people. Overall, I'm going to recommend it, though, and I'll explain why. Here you go.

Some families have a long line of dentists or lawyers. We had a long line of felons. Shit. All right. Try it your way. Your dumb-ass twin going to do his trick. Call that again. I'll kick it. Pour it up your ass.

From a step ladder, you might. That is Uncle Crabcake. The genius drowned a few years later after getting his dick stuck in a pool drain. Pardon a language. The handsome fella, that's me. Got it. the big ugly one is my twin brother moke got it please don't do that man

it's super frustrating all right that voice you heard narrating was that of peter dinklage and his brother is played by Josh brolin when they're adults anyway when they're kids which was that scene they're played by two other actors that look weirdly like the older versions

that is perfect casting because I actually thought it was Josh brolin talking yeah definitely not him in that case it was it was But they are, they're together in this thing in a movie called Brothers, not to be confused with the other one, but that was, uh, 2009 or something. Yeah, that one came up when I was. Yeah, Will Ferrell or whatever it was. Or the video, or the video game. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, not step brothers. Yeah. Or no, what am I thinking of? There was another thing called brothers. Who was in that? Yeah, I remember the game. Yeah, but there was a, there was another movie called Brothers that came up when I was, yeah, 2009 with, um, uh, uh, Uh, let's see here. I can't remember. Um, Toby McGuire and Jake Ellen Hall, Natalie Portman. Oh.

Oh, that's the one. Okay. Yeah, definitely not that movie. This is a military, right? It was a military, sure. Logical war film. Yeah. That was a pretty good movie.

It was dark, though. Uh, anyway, brothers is not dark. Uh, it's directed by Max, uh, Barbicow. I think he says his name. He is famous for directing last year's everybody's favorite comedy from last year, which was called Palm Springs, which I think a bit, you recommended. I did.

This is a few years ago. That was during the pandemic. Was that you? Okay. I can't remember who's mentioned that one, but it was 2020. I think I did and then Randy did. Oh yeah, 2020, not last year. I don't know why I thought it was last year.

Yeah, that was one of the one of my favorite uses of the Groundhog Day formula. So, so, you know, a lot of expectation on that guy's shoulders, I suppose, because that was a big hit. This is written by Eaton Cohen, not Ethan. Eaton. Same name. We're just missing a H and the E's and A. But anyway, at first I thought it was Ethan Cohen. I'm like, whoa, one of the Cohen brothers wrote this.

And it wouldn't be that crazy to think so because of the style of the thing. But anyway, this is about two brothers who grow up in a very criminal family. And they later, or most of the story is about later in life, Peter Dinklage gets out of jail. And he does it in a sneaky way. I won't give away because it's part of the story. but his brother, Josh Brolin, who's moved on to be living a very legit life. He has a wife now. He has a child on the way.

You know, he's working. He's not a criminal anymore. He's a little dumb, but he's got a sweetness and kind of a kindness to him. Peter Dinklage is super smart and super skeevy and always like getting him in trouble. It's definitely a comedy. It's very raunchy in the language department. Everything else is fine. But, you know, there's a lot of swears.

in it but if you're worried about nudity there's none of that um emmette or emmette walsh one of his last films is in this it might be his last oh yeah uh let's see is it his last movie i'm just gonna check yeah final this eaten this eatin cohen actually wrote like idiocry or at least co-wrote idiocry tropic thunder men in black three bit around a while that guy done some stuff yeah uh anyway a bunch of other people uh brendan fraser is in this that's who you heard in the show or earlier when I played this. I am justice. All right.

He is a psychotic prison guard and the son of M. Emmett Walsh, who was a judge. He plays Judge Farful and Brendan Frazier is just called Farful. People just call him Farful. And he is, he steals the movie, kind of. He's psychotic and crazy and he's very funny. And I thought that Brendan Frazier kind of elevated everything. Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage are good

and Josh Brolin in a rare comedic role He doesn't do this very often And he's very funny in it I think Dinklage is great I always think he's great Glenn Close plays their mom At least later in life There's a younger lady for early

But then later we have Glenn Close Playing this mother who is also kind of a psycho And the whole thing is just like Kind of a big heist story About escaping from prison Not Going back Burying evidence Finding some jewels

Like there's a whole bunch of like tropes in there. Here's why I say it's not for everybody. There are parts of this movie that work really well and make you laugh really hard. There are parts of this movie where you went, oh, really, you're going to, that's cheesy, dumb. That's a dumb idea. And not that funny. So there are points like that that really sour the moment, but the overall experience I had a good time with. Ultimately, there's a nice message about family, even if you're a very goofed up family, you're still family. And what does that mean? There's a whole karaoke sequence that just kind of hammers some of that home and uh glen close as amazing as their mom and everybody's a

great actor in this nobody's nobody's phoning it in everybody's killing it it's just going to be a mixed bag in terms of whether you found it to be a great comic comedy film or a good comedy film with some mistakes and that's where i landed i think it's recommendable though and uh even if you just want to see brenan fraser freaking chew up the scenery he's so funny for the right kind of audience anyway. Yeah. And he's he's all like heavy in this. Brendan Frazier put on weight for this role. He was in a fat suit for the other one, the whale. But this one, it's his, it's his fat. And it really adds to it. It really makes that character something. I don't, you know, I don't know how things are going with him, but he definitely is very imposing. And I laughed my head off.

So there are parts of it, like I said, you're going to laugh and have a good time. There are parts of it where you're just going to go, oh, they could have ended that better, or that was not the best joke there. And I don't mean offensive. I mean, just not executed all that well. Low-hanging fruit kind of joke. Yeah, probably could have come up with something funnier. Yeah, a little, a little McGuffany at the end, that kind of thing. But the overall of this thing is just a bunch of great actors having a good time and I enjoyed it.

So go check it out. It's called Brothers. It is available on, I don't think I said, Prime. It's a Prime original. And it's available there now if you are a prime subscriber. that's going to do it for us Nicole anything happening in the wood of whispering or whispering of wood that we should know about before we let you go um we started oh I may I did I say made new shirts I made new shirts no Oreo let's see him be up pictures or anything or any kind of

Yeah, I've got, you know, pretty soon, should have some materials to be able to record a video about the assembly of this game machine. So I'm hoping to get that in the next couple days and then work on it over the weekend. Nice. Build this thing and make a video on it. But nothing new.

no new content to tell you about just yet. I will wait with aided breath, as they say. I'm excited. Yes, please do. Fabian the farmer wrote in and said, Scott and Brian, exclamation point. I will make you play a country song. Sorry, it's my birthday on the 20th,

and I've always wanted to request a song, but never got around to it. It was secretly my goal to get Brian to play a country song since I know he's not a huge country fan. If you don't want to play either of these, could you do a post-punk cover of Aitliving, blah, blah, blah, blah. In spite of ourselves,

Love the show, though. There we go. No reason to read any of that because I am going to play this country song, one of the two that he recommended, because it's pretty damn good. I actually ended up buying both of them because, listen, their covers, they're really good country covers, and I'm happy to share this with folks.
