I don't have goodies. The morning stream. Good morning everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for November 13th,
Starting point is 00:01:35 2024. I'm Scott Johnson, and that is Brian Ibit. Good morning. Hello. Good morning. Are you ready? Wednesday, Humph Day morning. You're ready for the Wednesday things, you know? Like, I don't know, what's your, what's your favorite Wednesday? Do you have one? Have you ever looked back and said, man, that was a Wednesday? Favorite Wednesday? Like a famous one? I can't think of, I can't think of a, though, because I never, I never, ever think about what day of the week something was.
Starting point is 00:02:03 You think of like, oh, what a great day that was. Got to go, you know, Tristan and I went to the zoo and then we did this and, you know, got pancakes and da-da-da-da. I couldn't tell you what day of the week it was. I could probably muster up what month and year it was, but not a day of the week. Yeah, I don't think people think, unless you have a significant Christmas or Thanksgiving, or no, Thanksgiving, because that's Thursday of every month or every November. That I could see.
Starting point is 00:02:30 but I don't think I've ever gone, oh, what a Wednesday that was. What a Wednesday that was. I will always remember this as being the best Wednesday I ever had. Usually not the case. No, but we're going to make one of those happen today. Everybody in the chat will remember this Wednesday. You're never going to forget.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Anyway, I'd mentioned it in the pre-show, but I got back from giving some blood this morning, and you might say, oh, Scott, that's great. You're giving blood. What a civic thing to do given blood. No, it's for some labs. It's just every three months. I've got to go do this, and they took my blood.
Starting point is 00:03:00 and it's fine. You got to check your tea. Yeah, they've got to check my T. They've got to check my A1C. And what's the other one? Maybe it rhymes with it. When you get your cholesterol checked, what's that? It doesn't rhyme with C or B.
Starting point is 00:03:18 No, it doesn't. What is the, what is that? Just a cholesterol check? I can't remember. There is a. Oh, I know. What's with, oh, there's one that rhymes. They checked my something, e, there's a thing.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Triglycer. Nope, triglycerides, that's not it. Anyway, whatever it is. They are checking for all that. It's all normal stuff. I do these here and there. My doctor's big on blood labs because there's so much that you miss if you don't do blood checking.
Starting point is 00:03:52 You have a guy come in, you just go, pat, pap, pat, pat, breathe for me. Let me look in your air, turn and cough. It's not enough. you need to know what's pumping in there, man. Exactly, yes. There's a lot of information you can find in the blood. Mine just happens to taste like Mrs. Butterworths. I love the taste of your blood, Brian.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Oh, serving it at Hash House a Go-Go a couple years ago in TMS Vegas. Yeah, we went to DuPars out in the northern part of the city and they dumped Brian's blood all over my plate. Oh, dude, you're making me already craving DuPars for TMS Vegas. And no, nothing yet to announce, but I can announce that finally in discussions for locking down dates with them. We had some, we had dates in mind, obviously, and I checked all those against the Las Vegas, like, event calendar, made sure there's no big things going on around that time. And now we've had some emails going back and forth with the fine folks at the plaza, so dates coming soon. Nice. Look forward to it.
Starting point is 00:04:57 block codes coming soon, too. Staying in your room, doing what you do. It's going to be great. Looking forward to it as always. It's going to be a great year. Speaking of announcements, some of you must have already heard about it because I saw people on Discord talking about it. I don't know how they heard because I hadn't announced it yet, but the Frog Pants Limited Edition 40-ounce stainless steel tumblers are available now on the store and are in both black and white. These are laser engraved. There's also videos on the site to show that off a little bit. One with the white one, one with the black one. And they're very cool. They, uh, they're, I think we already, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:05:33 I woke up this morning to like 12 orders without announcing it. So that tells me, these are going to, these are going to go fast. People found them. Yeah. They found me, Marty. They found me. Yeah, these are cool because the, um, when you wash off your tumbler and, you know, this has happened with the, the tumblers we had in TMS Vegas, all the people signed. I did my best. I do my best when I clean it to not get any water or anything on the outside. I just wash off the inside if I need to. right and um uh there's like a couple spots where some signatures and names came off so this that frog is not going anywhere no that frog stays forever um and to compare these these are comparable to say like those stanley ones you pay 55 bucks for yeah these are only 2999 and free shipping in the u.s
Starting point is 00:06:16 if you live out of the u.s. apologies can't control how international rates work but in the u.s. free shipping so go get yours at frogpants dot shop they are limited there won't be that many uh speaking of which here's the vagus one and i haven't i've decided not to use it because i don't want to lose anything smart man yeah i wish i would have thought of that before i grabbed the handle where somebody had written something and i can't read them now but other than the handle i'm going to leave the rest of this as pristine as possible if i can that's good i've stopped i've switched over using my bike tms one or my tmsms bike ms ms ms 1501 so This is the one I'm using
Starting point is 00:06:57 Because there's no signatures on here This is safe I can wash this off and not lose any names That sort of thing Yeah But stickers, whole different issue You can put stickers on these Do whatever you want
Starting point is 00:07:07 Sure But anyway, if you want to go grab yours It's available now Frogpants.shop or frogpans.com Either one will get you there And they're going quick So if you are seriously interested You do not want to wait
Starting point is 00:07:18 All right We got more camel We got a camel email You know Yeah talk about it which is good it's been a hot topic the uh the camels really has been domestic camels where did they come from what even are they you know yeah how do they work uh we got one from michael currently in north dakota who says hey spit and bile because camels spit bile
Starting point is 00:07:40 okay real quick that's that's a thing i just learned i didn't know they spit yeah i thought they just spit spit spit i didn't realize they spit bile that's gross yeah camels were already gross and now this just makes them even more gross the next time one spits at you at a zoo Just know that that's freaking stomach bile coming at you. They are to make horrible noises. They smell. Gross.
Starting point is 00:08:01 They can't decide between, you know, do I have one hump? Do I have two humps? What, you know, geez, make up your mind camel. What a worthless piece of shit animal these things are. That's right. And I know that's the difference between the,
Starting point is 00:08:14 the, the, the dromedary and the, whatever the bee is. The two hump ones are the bee, the bee camels and the, Bactrian. Bactrian. That's it. Oh, yeah, because someone else called you that the other day in the email.
Starting point is 00:08:28 They called it Bactrian and Dramadary, yeah. Well, he says this. Attached was an article, I'm not including it here because it basically just confirms this. But anyway, it's about the Red Ghost of Arizona. The TLDR is for a decade from 1883 to 1893, so we're talking like cowboy times, you know. A large male camel with a corpse strapped to its back. terrorized the Arizona desert. It was eventually shot. Ten years. Can you imagine that?
Starting point is 00:08:58 And it's the corpse, we're talking about a person strapped to it, not a other animal or whatever. And obviously after 10 years, that corpse was probably just bones by the end. But anyway, pretty gross. It says it was eventually shot by a rancher. Why he felt the need to shoot it, I don't know. By that time, it wasn't hurting people. The camel was probably just introduced by a military project to use camels as beasts of burden across the desert. but because of smell, I'm sorry, of smell temperament and the railroad project, it was scrapped.
Starting point is 00:09:28 The animals were either sold or let loose to fend for themselves and scare the locals. Love the show though, Michael. Yeah, I'd never heard that story before, and sure enough, it's a real thing. It made me think. I want a movie. I want a movie adaptation of the Red Ghost of Arizona. Yeah, call it Red Ghost and do like the, what was it, was it rubber, the tire one? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:50 If you can make a thing about a killer tire, you can make one about a killer camel with a corpse on its back, right? That's a movie that could happen. Absolutely can. It is, boy, it is just ready to be made. It's waiting. A million dollars, go into the first person who makes a movie or even a documentary about the Red Ghost of Arizona. Exactly. I know Tractonberg used to listen to the show.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I doubt he is now because he's so busy. But if he's listening, Dan Tractonberg, between your fancy predator movies, maybe you could insert this. Maybe take a break from Predator. or maybe do Predator meets Red Ghost and have it be a crossover film. Oh, shit. I like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Yeah. Well, anyway, Michael from North Dakota, thanks for regaling us with this apocryphal tale that turned out to be true. Yeah. It's pretty cool. It's cool. I wanted to know more.
Starting point is 00:10:35 I might have to look up that article he sent you. Nice. Scott, yesterday in chat, I was talking a little bit about a show I'm watching, Disclaimer, starring Kate Blanchett on Apple TV Plus. And I was talking about how it's a bummer, because it feels like the first misstep from Apple TV Plus that has had so far a stellar record with incredible, incredible programming. And somebody in the chat, and I wish I could remember who it was, said, stick with it, Brian, watch the last two episodes.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Because I had said I was on episode five. Right. Tim and I watched the last two episodes last night. We were so engrossed in this thing. We stayed up past the time we usually go to bed because we wanted to finish this thing because we were so. hooked on these last two episodes. And Scott, Apple TV, redeems itself once again. This thing is, this will be a future recommendal from me. But holy cow, disclaimer.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Let me ask you a question about this. So I know you're not going to spoil anything, but. I'm not, because this is a thing that could easily get spoiled. Does it make it? Okay. So this is a hard question. And you could say this for a movie. It's just this is more drawn out because it's a series.
Starting point is 00:11:48 but it's the same question. If a thing is troubling you early in the first two-thirds or whatever, but then it redeems itself in the end, is that okay? I mean, does that hurt the overall thing? Would you give it a 10 otherwise, but you got to give it an 8 because of the struggle in the early bits? You know what I'm trying to ask? Because I wonder how many people, like the Rotten Tomato score,
Starting point is 00:12:16 the audience meter is lower than the critic. critic meter and the critics probably watch the whole thing, whereas I wonder how many of those scores came from people just watching some portion of the first five episodes, but yeah, it can hurt you, right? Because Tina usually have a rule where if we don't like something in the first three episodes, then we leave it. This one we liked, like, we really liked it, but I had one issue with a plot point that I'm not going to go into because that would reveal too much. and and that plot point was
Starting point is 00:12:54 much more important to the last two episodes and discussed in those last two episodes but but information was given in those first five episodes oh man it's like I don't want to give anything away there's a there were things in the first five episodes
Starting point is 00:13:17 that in hindsight seeing the last two episodes made even more sense and made me like this show even more. If I had time, I'm not usually a big, ooh, I just finished that series. Let me start back over from the beginning and watch it again. But this is one that I would if I had the time
Starting point is 00:13:34 because things change so much in those first five episodes based on those last two episodes. Okay. Fair enough. The way you've described this, it makes more sense to me now that I know who created it and directed it. And I didn't know this. Alfonso Caron did this whole thing.
Starting point is 00:13:54 And that guy did, Roma, Gravity, Children of Men, one of the greatest things ever made. The best Harry Potter movie, Prisoners of Aska Band. Like, that guy is a freaking great director. And I didn't know. He did this. And he directed every episode. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:08 He did. And I loved everything in that list except for Roma. I felt like Roma was meandering. and boring and didn't deserve to win the Oscar, let alone be nominated for the Oscar. I thought it was like, yeah, yeah, this is, this is, yeah. Interesting. But I loved children and men, gravity, it too mamma tambien, I loved.
Starting point is 00:14:34 I think he's fantastic. And this, this eye, I'm back in, man, fully in. All right. It will be a future recommendal, but anybody who decides to watch it Between now and then, I will warn you that there is some sexual violence. So if you're triggered by that, if you're triggered by that, reach out to me and I'll actually give you a way to watch the show and skip over it. Because while it's important to the plot, it's not, it's something that can be avoided. okay so you can skip it um you can skip it exactly okay and i can give and i can give
Starting point is 00:15:23 time stamps to skip it so all right look at that this is a that's a this is a service you're providing it's fantastic absolutely because it's so worth seeing it's so so good and i don't want that to be something that keeps somebody from watching it because uh um the rest of it is uh is powerful and Kate Blanchett is just amazing. Sasha Baron Cohen is understated, brilliant and understated. I like him and stuff like this where he's not a wackadoo. He's just like a normal actor. Yeah, yeah, just normal.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Cody Smith McPhee. Oh, I like that kid. He just always, always just I can't stop looking at the kid. Yeah. He always looks like Nightcrawler, whether his skin is peach colored or blue. Yeah, he's great. I like him a lot. He's great.
Starting point is 00:16:13 I recently watched the road, and he was the kid in the road. Oh, yeah, right. He's so good in that. Like, that was a start-making performance, obviously, and he's done nothing but amazing stuff since. But, man, he's good in that. If you haven't seen the road and you want to be nice and depressed, watch the road. For sure. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:32 All right. All right. So big thumbs up in the end. Big thumbs up, and maybe I won't now use it as a recommend because I've gushed about it so much. But it depends on if I watch anything. between now and next week, next Wednesday. I'm not used this. Ooh, I also like Adrina Varner.
Starting point is 00:16:48 I didn't know she's, or Varmus. She's the Game of Thrones lady. Who does she play in this? Yeah, her name in this is, oh, she's the narrator of all seven episodes. Okay, so she just does voice stuff. I love her, though. And that narration is important.
Starting point is 00:17:13 to this show. I love her. I feel like we just talked about her. It's not just, it's not just set up and stuff, man. The narration is very, very, very key. Okay. Well, I'm going to watch it. It looks great. Plus, it's got Kate Blanchett. I never turned that down. Yeah, yeah. Well, all righty then. Oh, and hi to Logan. We were supposed to say hi. Oh, yeah, dear Varm. I know him. Yeah. Yeah. So, Chad, or Logan, hi.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Yeah, she was my and snake. That's right. Okay. Yeah. Hi, Logan.

It's going to be fantastic. Three-fourths of the callers. That's right. Dunaway ringing, but not, oh, there he is. Okay, here we go. Enjoy. Hey, that sound means it's time to play a game. And Brian Dunaway is here to play it with us and probably win because he's having a real run lately. Donaway, how are you? No, I's gotten, Brian.

Starting point is 00:19:46 Oh, I'm all right. How are you, my sunshine? Oh, we're all doing great. I haven't been called to sunshine since my mom did it in about 1973. So thank you for that. I appreciate it. It was a Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:19:58 It was one of the best Wednesdays ever. Best Wednesday I ever had. Never had a better Wednesday. Brian, explain on this Wednesday how this works and what 9 of 12 could win. We do. It's time to play the tadpullie feud. I've surveyed the tadpole on some nerdy
Starting point is 00:20:11 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 September. Your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. Which one do you want? Which one do you want? Yeah, do you have a preference today? Yeah, what do you want?
Starting point is 00:20:27 Which one? What do you think? Don't put her on the spot like that. Without doing the topic? Wait. You can send me a text later. September It's all cool. Yeah, it's all good. Whoever you end up with, if your team wins, you get a prize package. That includes SpongeBob SquarePants, the Cosmic Shake.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Oh, that's one. Idleons. Oh, nice. Those are both good. Two great games, courtesy of Wesley. In particular, that Spongebob game is, it's not just a kid's game. It's like a really good game. It's fun.
Starting point is 00:20:58 I can't think of the last SpongeBob game I didn't enjoy. I think I've enjoyed just about every one of them. They make pretty good games. They're free to play mobile stuff bad, but the console and PC games are good. which is what this is. That's cool. Yeah, cool. All right, well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:21:12 But don't get too excited. You haven't won them yet. You have some work you got to do first. By the way, those of you listening, if you have not filled out the most recent Tadpool survey, there is a brand new one up, and you can find it pinned in the TMS chatter of the Discord. What's the question this time around? I'll get to the question this time around.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I mean, not like here. I mean, in the survey now you're doing, I was trying to trip you up. Oh, so, yeah. I wasn't clear. That's what I was talking about today. So clever. The question. Like these surveys only have one question.
Starting point is 00:21:44 You can also go to tiny.cc slash tadpool survey, all lowercase. How do you know about my tiny CC? Everybody knows about your tiny CC. It's common knowledge, Brian. Anyway, tinyccc. Tadpool survey, and you can answer the questions there. Nice. But you're not going to find these questions.
Starting point is 00:22:08 questions in that survey, because this is a brand new question. Hands on your buzzers. We asked 525 tadpoolers gave their answer to this. Thanks to the mysterious gate 32 and a half in your local airport, we're going to be having the next nerdtacular in a fictional
Starting point is 00:22:24 city or location. Where is it? No. Scott. Orgramar. Did we lose him? No, I just was, my brain had to fart. Orgramar in in World of Warcraft. Orgramar. It's a fictional It is a fictional city.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Show me Orgamar. Oh, man. Capitol City of the Orks. That was number 14, by the way. So you're thinking your brain is on the right track for these. Well, sure, that'd be a top 10. I'm shocked. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Done away. What do you got? Oh, shit. I don't know. All I can think of is Rivendale. And it's just only because I've been watching the Lord of the Rings again. Holy sure. I can't think of any places.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Yeah. All right, that's all right. Show me Rivendell. Oh, number four answer on the board, which means you get control of the board and you get September to help you out here. My elves, where we're going. You know what?
Starting point is 00:23:19 That's way better because that's a much more pleasant place to have a hangout, right? Like, Orgar Mars is dirty and gross. Orgumars smells and it's on fire half the time. Like, why would you go there? There's always a raid team coming through, killing giant spiders and stuff like that. Yeah, it's not good.
Starting point is 00:23:36 It was a bad call. All right. Well, I guess you two are in, I almost said, in bed together on this one, but I won't say it that way. You are partners. We are in bed together because we're in Rivendale. We just woke up. Yeah. And the other hobbits are there to check on us.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Make sure we're all right. And you're all going. We're lying in the warm grass. Gandalf. Gandalf. Gandalf. All right. What do you got?
Starting point is 00:24:02 Give it to us. All right. September, do you have a mysterious? is gate 32 and a half. You got some place? I think Scott was on the right track, but it has to, let me look. Where would I go? The actual city slash location.
Starting point is 00:24:21 And it's the pad pool. So what about just going with Azaroth? Azaroth itself? Yeah, that's probably actually a better answer than what Scott said. Interesting. That's an idiot. No. Show me, Azarath.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Oh, really? Sounds like we need to stay away from... Well, it says city, so it's possible we're still there, but just not the whole point. I mean, I'd choose Dalloran, but it blew up, so... Yeah. You can still go there, but then it's like a time shift. It's not really the same. You can go to two versions of it.
Starting point is 00:24:59 The old one sucks. All right. Cooper. Scott Becker. to you. Brian has, Brian in September have four points. You need to get some points on the board. All right. Uh, ho. No. Oh. Yeah. Oh. I still think there's some wow stuff in there. Keep on digging. I'm a, I am. I'm going to say, I'm going to say Silver Moon.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Thousand Needle. Oh, I love Thousand Needles. But I ain't going to be there. But I'll say Silver Moon. It's pretty. All right. Show me. Yeah. Oh, go ahead. No, go ahead. No, you're good, you're good. You're good. Show me, Silver Moon. Damn it. All right, I give up on Wow.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Forget it. Nobody said Silverman. I was just really quickly searching the full list, and nobody said Silverman. Well, the last time that that city played any significance in the game has been literally almost 17 years or something. It's probably why. Nobody even thinks about it. People are over it. Yeah, all right.
Starting point is 00:26:01 All right. Back over to Brian September. September. Do you have any other places? Okay, I feel like the whole tadpool is avoiding where the question would lead you with its reference. Right, right, right, right. Otherwise, I'd say that. But Gotham.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Oh, Gotham's good. That's better than Mordor, which is the only other thing in place I could think of. Gotham's much better. No one wants to go to Mordor. Right, exactly. Yeah, why would you go to? Well, people? Well, people?
Starting point is 00:26:31 I don't know. Some orcs. Orcs, goblins. Maybe some... All right. Let's take our little ship over to Gotham City and see if anybody said that. Show me Gotham City. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Gotham City. All you got to do is hold your tongue and say Gotham City. I mean, it's so damn crime-ridden. Good Lord. All right. Yeah, especially, boy, penguins really got that place under his thumb right now. So don't like that. Yeah, once again, I think it's.
Starting point is 00:27:02 just it's one of those things whereas it's just on the top of your head kind of like what Rivendale was for me it just happened to be something and I'm thinking about. I grew up in Buffalo, Gotham feels like home. Yeah. It's based on it's based on Jersey. I thought it was
Starting point is 00:27:18 Jersey. I thought it was Jersey because it's across the bay from Metropolis which is sort of like New York. I thought I could be wrong. Plus all the colorful people there, you know, get a chance to see the penguin you know, Batman. They just refer to one of the nicknames of Chicago is Gotham, so I think that's why.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Oh, yeah, I could see that. Yeah, I don't know. Reverse connection for me. Sure, sure. September, do you think I'd be digging in too deep if I said we should have just, we should just stayed at the Shire? Or you think we need to go somewhere else? Because it's not really a city.
Starting point is 00:27:51 It is a fictional place, though. Well, yeah, that's true. I know I said city or location, but I think people. I think city probably includes village, town, you know, whatever. Hamlet, you know, but and a shire is that sort of thing, but is the shire.
Starting point is 00:28:10 But I think we should go with Marvel people and hit up Metropolis first. Okay. Well, that's D.C. But I'm going to say Metropolis. Yeah, I've been to say Metropolis would be Superman's, right? The Superman's. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Still D.C. Sorry. Right, right. It's all good. It's all good. Yeah. All right. All right. You want, uh, let's go to Metropolis. me, Metropolis. Look at number 13. Good answer. Number 11, no points, but
Starting point is 00:28:40 13 people said it. Hey, we stayed in it. No points, but you stayed in it. You still have control of the board. Now, typically, I like to think what Scott might be thinking. Not today. I know he's been doing, he's been doing something. I would love to steal an answer from him if he ends up thinking about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:55 But September, I'll let, what do you think? Got another one? Let's go with your Oh, you want to steal one from Scott? Well, I know he's been doing another Simpsons watch through. And, man, I want to live in the town of Springfield. Ah, shit. You're not wrong that I was just thinking of that. That's true.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Yeah. We could all dress up as Simpsons characters. What do you think, September? Is that the place to go? Do you want to do your shire answer first? Or do you want to do your? Yeah. Yeah, let's shower it up.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Let's shire. Take a nice, like a nice cold shire. All us tall people will be ducking our heads down to get into Nurtacular. Show us the shire. Yeah, baby, good points. Damn. Good call September. September's got the, she's got her finger on the pulse.
Starting point is 00:29:38 She's got the touch. Yeah. She's got the touch. Give me that ring so I can throw it in the fire. Huh. Some. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:50 What do you got? All right. Let's try Springfield then. All right. I'm just getting caught up in that location part. I'm just, like, everybody had heard city first, and they just went like, city. All right, yeah, let's do it. Let's get, let's get to that fictional town of Springfield
Starting point is 00:30:05 where I can hang out my buddy, Homer Simpson. Okay. Show me, Springfield. Oh, thank you. Thank you for taking that off the list. Lower than I would have expected, too. These people apparently didn't grow up with the three. Remember how exciting it was when they were going to have the 3D episode
Starting point is 00:30:27 when we finally got to have Homer come into our world? that was so cool It was pretty cool So I'm glad that's off the board Because I literally was going to say that So I'm going to go with Star Wars stuff is in my head So I'm going to say Cloud City
Starting point is 00:30:44 Because Cloud City seemed Cool when it wasn't run by the huts Or whoever or no When the Empire didn't interfere But it seemed cool before that It seemed like a place to hang out And we could all go up there Have some fun ride around
Starting point is 00:30:56 Those little dual chair ship things Sure Hang off at Antana It begins to be awesome I have to imagine the conversation with something like Lando Calarizian Do you have a small dining room That I could hang out with Boba Fett
Starting point is 00:31:11 That you could lead Han and Leahy at you please And no one will be eating We're just going to sit in there And wait for them to show up We're just sit in there Like a weird Norman Rockwell painting Show me Cloud City
Starting point is 00:31:21 Oh Number seven Nice Good points Okay That's interesting You got seven Brian's got 14
Starting point is 00:31:28 Brian and Ember have 14. That's interesting. Okay. Then that makes me think we might have another Star Wars on here. So I'm going to say, well, it's never going to be Tatooine, I wouldn't think. It's a location. That's where I'm getting hung up at. I just feel like people read City first.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Then we're like, forget location. I'm being specific. It gets in everything. You know what? Corrassant That's a planet though But it's a planet that's a city It's a location
Starting point is 00:32:05 It is a city planet And it's pretty clean Like it's most Well there's some underworld shit But for the most part It's pretty good It's better than Gotham So I'm gonna
Starting point is 00:32:14 I don't know what else to say I'll say that Let's do that All right All right show me Corrassant Oh my gosh Can answer on the board Holy mackerel
Starting point is 00:32:24 That gives you 17 points And the lead wow okay that's a bunch of bull all right now there had to be somebody out there trying to be that the problem is probably not a lot of people but i was thinking so the the bluff thing that uh immortal jo lives on is called the um it's not the green place it's the other thing oh my gosh seeing this movie a billion times trauma with me it's not green place the green place is all wrecked you don't want to go there right right right right it's called uh would have been good at one time The Citadel.
Starting point is 00:32:57 The Citadel in Mad Max Fury Road. This is probably a bad choice, but I'm doing it. Interesting. All right. Show me the Citadel. Boom! Yeah, it did make the list. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:33:12 There it is. 38 Citadel. And it's funny because I think there's a Citadel in Mass Effect, too. So there were Citadel's for Mass Effect and Citadel's for Mad Max. Oh, that makes sense. The Citadel is a great. Zero points and zero days. So, waiting at 30 second or whatever, how many people is that?
Starting point is 00:33:33 Is that just one person that said it? Or is there more that said? Three people said it. Two people probably said the Mad Max Citadel and one person said the Mass Effect Citadel. Both. Just a shout out to them. I see you.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I acknowledge you. And I know you're here. All right. Brian. September. So September. is God said the Green Place, and I thought, oh, the Emerald City. I always love going, hanging out with the Wizard of Laws.
Starting point is 00:34:01 But do you think that's too far in the wrong direction? I feel like they put Hogwarts as number one, even though it's at the location and it's a school. And I feel like, I know. It's probably that or diagonal. Oh, and that's why I was thinking, too, because when I heard 32 and a half, I started thinking Hogwarts because of the platform. Yeah, I know. I just don't want to I only got one more strike left
Starting point is 00:34:27 This won't This won't get J.K. rolling any money, I promise. There's that. Not a penny. Consider it ripping her off and go ahead and use it. Yeah. I think so What do you think September?
Starting point is 00:34:44 Star Trek? Star Wars on the board. What about Trek? Because Riza. Oh, the pleasure planet. We can go to the pleasure planet. Dude. We could all run around in togas and... Yeah, but don't be up here.
Starting point is 00:34:57 It should be up here. It should be, but don't throw balls near those flower things or any of that shit. They'll take you out and kill you or whatever they do. It's really bad. All right, let's put Brian in a toga. Why don't you guys pick that? I like that one. Yeah, I like it too.
Starting point is 00:35:11 September, what do you think? I think is, yeah. Yeah. What? Either that or Hazard County, one of the two. That came out of the left field. Right. So you're doing Riza?
Starting point is 00:35:22 do risa i think it's safe let's do risa let's rise it on up end here september if you think that's a good one i like it i like it all right okay all right show me rise of the pleasure planet oh number 24 why you listen to scott he's the enemy he's the he's not wrong though but he was right i the heart wanted it to be up there i know i wish i wish it was higher yeah number 24 the rise of the pleasure planet uh which would have been which would have been fantastic Beets it. All right, Scott, so clear the board. Five answers on the board.
Starting point is 00:35:55 The only way that September can win these prizes if you run the board. All right. Hogwarts has got to be on here, even though it's just a school. I think it's on here. All right. Show me Hogwarts. Let's just get that out of the way. Yeah, number one.
Starting point is 00:36:09 It's not a lot of points, though, but I guess at this point, it's all about clearing the board. So, or, oh, I am winning. Oh, shit. Okay. Yep, yep, yep. It's good. It's good. Go to the board.
Starting point is 00:36:19 I believe in you. Okay. Um, let's see, would anything in Game of Thrones get? I can help you now, right? Yeah, we can all help each other. Absolutely. I'm going to pull up the chat too. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:36:29 I mean, I have a lot of dystopian stuff, and I don't think people would do that. But what about Bikini Bottom? Oh. Yes. Let's go to SpongeBob. I was talking about it. That would have been how appropriate for the game that was given away today. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:40 If we do that one, it's between that right now and what's the city, what's the Blade Runner City? What's that call? That's just L.A., isn't it? Is that just L.A? That's L.A. It's just L.A. Okay. Well, that doesn't count.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Do you think people said New Vegas? Ooh, that's a lot out. Ooh. Yeah, but it's so dystopic. Do you think they... I know. Once again, I'm with you. I'm with you. Chat says Dark City.
Starting point is 00:37:09 More dystopic than Gotham. Naboo. Someone said, a few people said Naboo. Let's see. Stormwind is on here. Oh, we should get on it. Yeah, let's go on an EWalk planet. Let's go there.
Starting point is 00:37:20 It's going to moons of indoor The moon of indoor Indoor. We can all sing the Jubjub song, whatever it is. I love these guys putting in real cities like Cleveland as if that's fictional. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:35 We already said Oz Dillweed. I'm not calling you a Dillweed. That's your name in the chat. I was going to say rude. We did not. It sounds like, yeah, it's not what I'm doing. Brian brought up Emerald City, but we did not say it. We didn't say it, true story.
Starting point is 00:37:48 You want to try it, Emerald City? All right, Emerald City, do it. Let's get some poppies on the way. It'll be great. Show me the Emerald City! Yeah, wow. I clicked the button like, I clicked the button like a minute ago. I'm scared.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I'm scared. Don't you just tell us what the movie is? That's a third story. There we go. Okay. Oh, gosh, it might go off like a bunch of times now because it just un... Yeah, that's the go-to move. If something doesn't work when,
Starting point is 00:38:19 you click on it, click it 20 times. You're kidding it a bunch of times. Yeah, no. Oz, specifically Oz, Emerald City didn't make the list, but Oz was number 37. There's poppies. We could sleep.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Sleep. I know. Palet Town was my next one. Oh my gosh. It just occurred to me. I had a poppy seed muffin yesterday and my blood work today is going to show positive for opium. Positive for opium. Yeah, sweet. I should have told them.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Anyway. Let's look at the rest of these. Boy, you really danced around the Star Wars thing and did not go to what I think would be the obvious place, which is Moss Isley. Oh, that's a great place. Puppets playing music and people shooting each other. It's a great place to get. I got all hung up on the, I got hung up on the scum and villainy stuff as if it wasn't going to be fun for people. You know, you're not wrong because number five is the same scum and villainy just in a different IP. Hardertown.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Mad Max made it. I'm happy to hear that, though. That's great. Yep. We go to Cyberpunks for number six, which is... Night City. Oh! Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Okay, well, that was kind of along the lines of my Blade Runner question, even though I knew it was L.A., but, yeah, people love a good cyberpunk scene. That's a good one. Good job. And when you said Springfield, I thought you might go over to the other Shelbyville? No, the other graining
Starting point is 00:39:50 Futurama. Yeah. Where does that take place? It's in New York. New York, yeah. Oh, New New York. New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah. New New York. Yeah, yeah. Oh, shit. That's annoying, but I get it.
Starting point is 00:40:03 That's actually a good one. Good job, guys. Rounding out, let's go, some of the rest of these. Wakanda was number 12. Hodgemead. A few people did say that in the chat. It was number 13. Restaurant at the end of the universe. They'd have plenty of room for us. number 15. Dalaran,
Starting point is 00:40:18 blown up or not. Time shifted access is how we'd get there. Number 16. Storm win did make the list. 17. Asgard, 18. Oh, yes. 9.

Starting point is 00:41:04 Brigadoon, Kanto Bight. Atlanta or Atlantis? Atlanta. Atlantis was higher on the list, but Atlanta, I think people just really wanted us. Yeah, Futurama. It was switched between the two, right? Yeah, no, Futurama had the lost city of Atlanta, and it was actually, like, Atlanta had sunk, and all these mermaids live there now. It's awesome.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Oh, fantastic. Coverville, Duckburg, Flimbs Arcade, the Gates of Mordor, nowhere from Guardians of the Galaxy. See, I told you, Gates of Mordor. Labyrinth, like, it's not hard enough to try to find your way around some Las Vegas Casinos with FlipClop. Don't go that way. That's the way the Goblin King is. Minas Tirith, New Orleans, Cahog, Coag, Raccoon City, Shermer, Illinois, the bullet farm, Thunderdome, 10 forward, and then a bunch of single ones that one person said that I'm not going to get into, because there's a lot of them, but... Interesting.

Starting point is 00:42:48 Sorry, September. Yeah, these prizes will go back into the pool and give somebody else another chance or give you
Starting point is 00:42:55 another chance to win it. Listen, you know, you may have lost today, but that means you can play sooner. You can try again in a couple weeks.

Starting point is 00:44:08 And I'm here to tell you right now, I'm going to give you a little spoiler. Donkey Kong Country 3 is the superior game. of all of the series. I'm sorry. You know, I was thinking too was the best. So we're going to have to fight. We're going to have to,

Starting point is 00:44:31 They just opened up a Donkey Kong country in their Super Mario world or Nintendo world or whatever it's called. And I watched a video of, was it, con, name, the, um, Miamoto? Miamoto, uh, doing a little tour of that place. And it looks amazing. It looks good. It does look really good. Here's the thing with that though, unless they have a
Starting point is 00:44:53 mind cart level in that place that actually kills people over and over. I'm not going. Oh, it doesn't kill people. Well, it doesn't, it hasn't killed anybody yet because the ride hasn't opened. But the big, the attraction ride in Donkey Kong country is a mine car. Oh, it's so brutal, dude. I've never played. There is, there are a lot of 16-bit games that are considered very difficult but the mine that mine cart level in donkey con country one brutal freaking between the rails back and forth and the timing this sucks of it is insane is this oh yeah and if you're like a completionist and you're trying to get all the coins and the names of the letters and everything it's just you're just asking for the worst time of your life
Starting point is 00:45:33 but those games are rad and we're going to talk about them play retro friday you might say they're rare you might say they're rarely made or something One of Rare's last hurrahs on the Nintendo side of things as well. So anyway, we'll talk a lot about that and have some fun along with it on Friday, 1.30 p.m. FrogPants.TV, me and Dunaway. Kiss our butts. All right. Wow. Wow. Yeah, I know, right? Just wow. Just like that. Wow. That's all I can say too. It's just wow. Just wow. I'm left with wow. That's all I have. All right, we're going to dive directly into a bit of news before we take our break.
Starting point is 00:46:13 And let's do that now. Where is it right here? It's time for the news, and it's brought to you by. Fellow Tadpooler Twizzed Fate is streaming mortuary assistant on Twitch. Oh, how fun. See the ongoing results at Twitch.tv slash Twizzed Dreams. I'm sorry, Twisted Streams. that is T-W-I-Z, T-I-D-S-T-R-E-A-M-S.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Nice. Like a lot of you, he puts what he's doing in the Promote Yourself Discord, and when that happens, I check those out, and if I see something cool, I'll put it in here. That's why it's there. So go check it out. Mortuary assistant scared living shit out of me. Couldn't finish it.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Didn't like that game, but... Do you just embalm everybody? Is that your job? It's so much worse. It's so much worse. You do that. You literally embalm people and drain their guns. and you do all the stuff that you would do, sort of, it's a game,
Starting point is 00:47:08 but you sort of do all those things and they're naked laying there and you're having to deal with all that. But then some corpse's eyes open for no good reason. Sometimes you look down the hall and you swear you saw it like a shadow of somebody down the hall. The power will go. It's just an awful experience. If you like scary games, that's amazing. But I hated it.
Starting point is 00:47:27 It was really hard for it. Let's get into the pigs. Sure. And I don't mean the hippies. Colin, cops, pigs. That's not what I mean. A pet pig breaks into a garage, gets so drunk on the owner's beer. So the owner had a bunch of beer in his garage and he got drunk.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Is that a quote from the pig? I see that's in quotation marks. The pigs say, I'm so drunk. Dude, I've never been so drunk in my life. Do you have any of those friends in high school that would pretend to get drunk or would drink something that wasn't actually alcoholic, but they thought it was? And then they would talk about how drunk they were. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:02 That and they just love. Galing about that time that they were so drunk that they puked. Oh, great story. What a great story that is. So great. I can't believe it. Unfortunately, it was the back of my car. They were actually puking in, so forget it. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:48:17 A couple who celebrated the 4th of July forgot about the cases of beer in their garage and were reminded when they stored the beverages after their pig had a party all to herself. Morgan Mullins, age 33, lives in Gil, Colorado. Colorado story. Colorado, Connecticut, Colorado Connection. That's right. And is a proud owner
Starting point is 00:48:33 a strawberry, a seven-year-old Juliana pig? Juliana pig? That's what I'd say, a Giuliana pig. Yeah. Never heard of that. I'd have to be confused with the Giuliani pig. It's a whole different pig. Yeah. The Giuliana pig is a different, a whole different breed. He's losing his house because of his lawsuit, and I'm
Starting point is 00:48:49 not sad about it. Not one bit. Not sad at all. Anyway, whom she describes to Newsweek as the love of our life. Her breast, her best friend is a duck. her breast friend is a duck
Starting point is 00:49:08 at least the duck thinks so and she roams around our small hobby farm doing things as she pleases says Mullins. Recently what pleased Strawberry was getting into the garage and breaking into the leftover cases of beer causing Mullins to find the pet pig a little worse for wear.
Starting point is 00:49:24 She posted something on TikTok about this got a bunch of views. The overlay clip said strawberry got into a case of assorted beers in the garage she is so drunk. Is the video linked here? Let's see. Oh, nice. I hope so. That pig is so drunk.
Starting point is 00:49:38 She thinks that that duck is a penguin. That's how drunk she is. That's how, boy, and I don't even drink, and I thought that. Get rid of the border. Here it is. Is it going to play? It's spinning like it's going to. Spin. Spin. Oh, fat tire. This pig knows what it's doing.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Yeah. Why is that not? Oh, there we go. Continue. See, the thing is, okay, so you find the wrecked beer cans, the beer spilled everywhere you see the aftermath but how do we really know the pig is all that affected like dizzy well you can tell if your pet is is stumbling around and looks woozy and sleeps a lot you can probably assume that it's i just hope the video would show it being drunk it's just sort of standing there like i want to see it i want to see it
Starting point is 00:50:26 touch its nose and count from 100 down to zero you know do a breathalyzer on this pit narrow right to keep your one foot in front of the other walk straight line it is a little wobbly oh it's very wobbly yeah that poor thing yeah this is how the sativa affected me in Vegas sure uh all right well that's cool how about this one if you live in the UK you do pounds you don't do euros or dollars correct you do the pounds so we're going to talk about pounds for a minute a 15 pound a pair of jeans meaning jeans that cost you 15 Oh, I was, I was thinking it was just a really heavy pair of jeans. It's a fair assumption.
Starting point is 00:51:07 I made the same mistake. They are more durable than the 150 pound pair in some tests. So, Zoe, keep this in mind out there when you're buying new pants. Cheap clothes have outperformed more expensive garments and durability testing conducted for the discount fashion industry. The University of Leeds has worked with retailer Primark. Primark. It sounds like someone's in charge.
Starting point is 00:51:32 charge in the 40k universe. Primark. Space Marine. Get me in touch with the primark. Oh, no. We've lost 40 Rhesus monkeys. Primark. Let's see. It's the items such as
Starting point is 00:51:46 jeans, t-shirts set to standards on how long clothing should last. University School of Design assessed 65 products, found that the 15 pound pair of jeans women's jeans would be specific to be more durable than the 150 pound equivalent. Primark. Primark, will incorporate the findings of the study
Starting point is 00:52:02 into its guidelines and the chain it said, or sorry, and the chain it said hope the results would give customers better value for their money. Yeah, I mean, I often get this impression. I'll buy a thing at Costco. This t-shirt under here, I buy a pack of these for very cheap, and they're all
Starting point is 00:52:18 Excel, and they all fit, they're one of the best fitting shirts I've ever owned. Totally. And they cost me hardly anything. And if I go to somewhere fancy and get a shirt that's supposed to be better that cost me 50 for just one shirt often these last longer wash better fade let like all that like why don't we do that test here and tell everybody what to buy here that's what we need because they're not fashionable those white t-shirts
Starting point is 00:52:42 you get at Costco the kirkland white t-shirts aren't fashionable it's true it's true yeah but you don't have to buy uh um kirklin and the toilet paper these double it's that you can just use the shirt yeah yeah the same same material and the ham exactly and the chili same material and the water All right. We're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, we'll have Tom Merritt back from his whirlwind trip to the Orient, as they used to say. He's back from Korea. And we'll see how things went for him. Talk some tech. After that, some recommendals. But first, a song. Brian, play it. But first. Oh, this is great. Alice Phoebe Lou. Some people out there might already know about her and her incredible music. She just completed a North American tour. supporting clero one of my favorites one of my favorite new indie artist clero i just love her her voice um and next year she's going to be coming here to red rocks in uh denver to tour with remi wolf another one of my favorites i don't have plans to go to that show but dang it i would like that um anyway her name is

Starting point is 00:54:34 You're holding with thought There's knowing That things can only get better And better Well, we came up for it, and suddenly it didn't seem to care. We ran away in different directions and I fell back to earth. I look back at your body. It's getting smaller as you're walking away
Starting point is 00:55:30 And I'm reminded of when I couldn't tell where you ended and I began Oh, I had written our story before it had earned its glory Without you, things can only get better and better all the things can seem so right in the rolling you're holding me tart
Starting point is 00:56:06 as you're knowing that things can only get better and better and better Oh, I had written our story before it had earned its glory without you, things can only get better and better. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Thank you. You know, I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to I'm a I'm Thank you.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Are you suffering from pungent pits beastly butt odor? How do you stop the stink? This is Doc Bottom's A spray, the all-new, all-over deodorant that prevents odors before they start. Fairly warned, BD., says I. And we've returned. Brian, who was that again, so I can write it down? Sure. That is Alice Phoebe Lou, and a brand new single that she released called Better.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Go see her in concert with Remy Wolf. Nice. That's probably a really good time that concert, I'll bet. That would be a really good show. Remi Wolf is another one of my new favorites. She's nutty. She's great. Watch out, everybody.
Starting point is 00:58:33 No, she is. Very good. Okay, check this out, y'all. We want Tom. We do, and we got him back. We stole him from Korea. They no longer have use of him. And he no longer has use of them.
Starting point is 00:58:45 They're no longer feeding me. No. Oh, that's a bummer. That's what I would miss the most, I'm sure, is the food. Yeah, how was the food this trip? The cafes, man, the cafes, the bread, the salt bread, the cheese bread. It's just incredible. The cafe scene there is.
Starting point is 00:59:02 And then there's Korean food, right? Like traditional Korean food as well, which is amazing. Sure. I highly recommend people who like to eat food, which I know are many of you, to go to Seoul. All right. You got a deal. I like you a little too much, I'm afraid. Food is good.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Food is great. The good part about Seoul is you have to walk everywhere. That's true. Yeah. That's the problem. Nobody wants to do that. We shared that you ate Taco Bell there. Now, now that we have you here.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Oh, yeah, yeah. You said something about the meat to me being a little sweet. Can you describe that? What did you mean by that? That is a character of Korean cuisine. Like if you get Doritos there, they're also kind of sweet. They like sweet snacks, and I guess Taco Bell counts as a snack. So the ground beef tasted a little sweeter to me, but otherwise, it was a typical Taco Bell experience.
Starting point is 00:59:53 The menu was the normal stuff, maybe a little reduced because it was a Taco Bell Express. It was not a full Taco Bell. But it was the, you know, burritos, tacos, soft tacos, whole ball of wax. You order at a kiosk, you know, you can choose English. So if you don't speak Korean, it's easy. Boom, boom, boom. They call out a number. And the number shows up on a screen.
Starting point is 01:00:16 You go pick up your food and it tasted like Taco Bell. Came in a little brown bag like Taco Bell. I don't know. I was expecting, because like in McDonald's they'll have like the Shanghai Shrimp Burger and stuff like that that's very regional. Taco Bell didn't do that. Yeah, I was curious. That's one thing I was curious about. And I couldn't tell from the menus if they were trying to do like, oh, here's a kimchi variant on a. Yeah, right. There was nothing like that. Unfortunately, I think that would have been more fun. Yeah, for sure, yeah. Well, thank you, thank you for testing.
Starting point is 01:00:45 But the place was full, too. Like, it was in a corner of the express bus terminal, which in American terms, you're like, oh, it's like a Greyhound station. The express bus terminal is like a 10-story mall. It's crazy good, full of restaurants. And we actually ate at a Tocatsu place there. And so you have to, you know, kind of go towards the subway station into a corner to find it, and it was packed. Wow. All right. Well done, Taco Bell. You've made it over there and done well for yourselves.
Starting point is 01:01:18 You've done it again. You did it again, guys. Well, done. Well, we've missed your... Just don't make a run for the border in Korea because it means something entirely different there. Yeah. Yeah. If you run for the one that's water, that's fine. But don't run for the one that's got a big line and a bunch of soldiers. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Run for the DMZ. Not a good idea. No. Well, I've missed having your tech voice here. And today you've brought some goodies, I assume. So what's going on? What have you caught up with and they were going to talk about today? Well, yeah, you know, Mark Berg-German at Bloomberg does great work, kind of giving us an inside tip about what's going on at Apple. And today on DTNS, I'm sure we'll talk about the smart home display that's rumored to be coming. But good old games. Have you guys talked about this?
Starting point is 01:02:05 No. In fact, I haven't even heard about it. We're talking gog.com, like good old games to site. Yeah, we're talking Gog, who used to be called good old games, but they're bringing back the name good old games to certify preserved games. Classic games will now get a, I'm trying to find the actual name here, but it's like a good old games badge that will be on stuff that they have actively worked inside of Gog to preserve a game to kind of bring it forward and make it work well. there are some titles in here that won't have the badge where they are prevented by license agreements or code problems or whatever from updating and they'll still package those up with the DOS emulator but apparently according to Kevin Purdy over at Ars Technica
Starting point is 01:02:54 you're going to see Jagged Alliance System Shock 2 Warcraft 1 and 2 SimCity 3,000 unlimited the theme park some really good stuff wing commander is in here So these are all Windows, though there is Mac support for 34 of the 100 titles. And with Proton compatibility, you might get more Linux capability, although 19 of those are native to Linux as well right now. I love this. Gog is a great place for DRM-free games, and it is long ago sort of moved away from a focus on the old part of the O in GEOD.
Starting point is 01:03:36 but it's nice to see them going back to doing some serious preservation. Yeah, I agree. This was their whole point in starting. So the thing launched in like 08 and it's from the people, CD Project Red. And you're like, wait a minute, the Witcher people, the cyberpunk people? Yes, that is who this is. And they've had this store for a long time. Great alternative.
Starting point is 01:03:57 No DRM. Find old games. It's evolved to be also some modern stuff, a lot of modern stuff. But it's interesting to see themselves. say, all right, we're doubling down on our OG mission, which is usually not what you hear after 20 years of content. You usually hear people say, well, the industry has changed and we're changing with it. And no, this is them doubling down on why they started this in the first place. And I think that's great. They basically were like the classic PC games mark is,
Starting point is 01:04:26 quote, in a sorry state. And they wanted to do something about it, which is like you said, it was kind of the reason they started this whole thing in the first place. So I found the official name, look for good old game preserved by Gog and if you see that stamp, that means not only is it a good old game, which they, 20% of the catalog is like
Starting point is 01:04:47 classic games, but it means that they've done the work to really bring it up and make it run well. There's that little symbol, folks. If you see that you're in good hands. Oh, that includes Diablo one. Wow. I thought, I think roller coaster tycoon is on YouTube.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Oh, yeah. That's where I bought it. That's the only place i could get it actually i think it's i think it wasn't on steam at the time so yeah that's awesome uh very cool i was worried you were going to tell us they were getting bought or something and i hate that i know right that's the usual story like oh you know gog uh well too bad they're gone they've been bought by big tech company insert name here well you'll definitely no thankfully that is not the case you'll hear more about this on core this week as well because uh that's definitely a thing we uh oh yeah right that's right up your alley yeah so expect that um tom anything else going on that you'd like to inform people about
Starting point is 01:05:38 now that you're home? Yeah. So one of the things that I kept doing the entire time I was gone was the Daily Tech Newsletter. So I would record stories. I would write them up. If you are somebody who just wants something
Starting point is 01:05:54 in your inbox, but maybe you still want the audio, you know, kind of like Daily Tech News show. I'm really liking what I've been doing on Daily Tech Newsletter. Jason Howell filled in for me on a couple of days just so I could get a little space in my schedule. So you may hear other voices, familiar voices, step in from time to time on the newsletter. And thanks to Jason for doing that. It was a great
Starting point is 01:06:16 idea. And he really did a great job doing it. So if you would like to get a weekly newsletter with my writings and a recording of those writings, if you want to listen to it in audio, So that is available for free once a week. If you subscribe to the substack, which I think is like 70 bucks a year, so it's, you know, over the course of the year, not much. Then you can get it every day, Monday through Friday, every day, Monday through Friday, not on weekends. Actually, that's not true. We do have a Saturday version that just tells you what happened on DTNS during the week. So you are kind of getting something six days a week.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Zoe does that for me. Thank you, Zoe. So go check that out. You can sign up for all of it at free tech newsletter.com. That is fantastic. Tom, it's good to have you back and with us once again. Have a fantastic week and we'll see you next. Thanks, man. Good to see you all. Bye now.
Starting point is 01:07:09 All right. That's great news on that Gog thing. Everybody's always whining and crying that we don't have enough preservation going on in games. And then when something like this happens, we've got to champion it. We've got to get excited, you know? Totally. I don't forget about Gog. You're thinking about Humble Bundle and Steam and all those sort of things.
Starting point is 01:07:27 I always forget about Gog. You get some great stuff there. They really do. Most of it, most of the stuff you can get in those other places. You can just get there. Sometimes there's steam enabled anyway. Like, I don't know. I got to spend more money there.
Starting point is 01:07:39 All right. We did it. Now it's time for recommendals. We're moving along at a nice clip here, which is good for us. Get you out in time for some, some, uh, warcraft live streaming. That's right. Everybody needs a little wow in their lives. Why can't I find?
Starting point is 01:07:56 There she is. All right. We're adding Nicole and Randy to the call. It'd be good to have Randy back. It's been a couple of weeks. And let's get that going right here. Well, what do you recommend? That music means it's time for recommendals. We take stuff from streaming services that we enjoy and think you might as well.
Starting point is 01:08:15 And then we talk about them right here on the show, play some clips and all kinds of fun stuff. And we have with us returning Randy Jordan. Hi, Randy. Good morning. Morning, morning stream. I have two recommendations for you for Gog. And I think, I think these use the best two games you can get there. and they're only $3 a piece. And those are Dungeon Keeper and Dungeon Keeper 2. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:08:36 So good. So good. Dungeon Keeper 2 probably has more hours in it than any PC game I've ever played, except maybe wow, wow, maybe the only exception. Dungeon Keeper 2 is insanely good. One's okay. Two destroys the world. It's so good.
Starting point is 01:08:51 A certain very, very large video game company that I will not name, bought up those properties a long time ago, and then ruined those games. Yeah, they got ripped. games were unplayable for a decade, and Gog has them, and they're just, they're so good. Yeah, and they're $3. Yeah, why wouldn't you get them? You should. They also hold up.
Starting point is 01:09:10 They look great. Also Nicole joining us. Hi, Nicole's bag. How are you? Hello. I'm good. Can you hear me? Yeah, we totally can.
Starting point is 01:09:17 Okay. Are you out at the shop today? I am, and I, sorry, it was late. Mark was cutting something, and it got really loud, and I'm like, of course, you're going to start cutting something. It seems like, you know, on a call. You heard it here first. When Mark cuts the cheese, it's very loud.
Starting point is 01:09:35 Very loud. Hey, I just want to give a quick hello to John who said hello to me at the Reistarby comedy thing that we went to. And I don't think I've ever been recognized in public. Yeah, that was cool. Yeah. So I don't think I've ever been recognized in public. So, John, I'm sorry if I was a little startled. well he was he was starstruck by your by your presence i get it
Starting point is 01:10:03 and mark was with me too so it was like he's like i don't think i've ever not been recognized and you have yeah that's no that's awesome i love it given tms some some cred there that's great well let's get to it we have got some recommendations to make brian we're going to start with you and your clip anything you want to say uh this is a movie and this what you're about to hear is a very tense scene. You'll be able to tell because the music is very tense. Oh, tense music. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Tense. Tense. Do you have anything yet? What? Now. Did you get Daniel? No. Go get him. Please. We need to get out of the water. How long has she been gone? Oh, Ellie, please. It's very tense.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Hors and Brandon ain't seen her. Pella, you get the skiff back? Yeah. I've got pictures. Jason and Rita ain't home. You see anything on the water? I know nothing. Are you sure she took the It's not there, is it? Give me your keys or anything on the hood.
Starting point is 01:10:59 No, I don't know. Come on, come on, let's go! Have you called her friends like Amanda or... Or, Sapphire? Or... How about the Rainer kids? No. What is it talking?
Starting point is 01:11:13 What? The skiff! Ellie, it ain't there! Yeah, it is. I just left it right there. Anna! Where'd you docking? It was right here.
Starting point is 01:11:31 It was right here. Your brother saw me. I just got home. How else would I... What happened to it? I don't know. You best come straight with me, girl. Don't you lie to me right now.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Someone took it. Someone... I don't know what happened. So I thought this was a series. You're saying it's a movie. When... It's a movie. When a man wants to intimidate a woman, he calls her girl.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Yeah. Listen, girl. That's right. Exactly. You better come clean with me. Yeah. So this is a film called Caddo Lake. This is on Max.
Starting point is 01:12:03 It is an American thriller film. It's funny because in some places this is getting listed as horror. This is not a horror film. This is absolutely a thriller film. And to tell you even another genre it might fit into might actually be too much. of a spoiler. Big thanks to Friendly Sleet 66 in our Discord who told me, who said that I probably would like it. And I did. Oh, my God, did I like this? And this is one of those things I'm going to be very vague about because the more, the less you know going into it, the more you're going to
Starting point is 01:12:38 enjoy it. It is very, it is very cool. Yeah, I'm sorry. A poor man's version of dark is. Yeah, and I don't want anybody to say that because I I feel like that gives stuff away, and I don't want to be spoilers. Yeah, okay, good. I don't know what that means. I think this is an expensive person's version of something. Yeah, the, again, the less you know going into this. We knew nothing about it going into it.
Starting point is 01:13:06 And boy, were we completely hooked and loved the direction that this thing took us. Basically, the story centers on this woman named Ellie, this girl named Ellie. teenager and the disappearance of her little sister, Anna, who you heard them talking about in the clip there that they're looking for and you can't find this skiff that was supposed to be parked on the dock and that's actually weirdly important. It's very important to the film. The people you heard in that clip, Eliza Scanlon is the teenager girl, but you also heard Lauren Ambrose from six feet under. I was going to say, I don't really recognize any of these people but I guess I haven't seen six feet under but uh what you've seen six feet under the the
Starting point is 01:13:52 HBO show that took place in a mortuary never saw really yeah I always meant to I always want to wait just never got around to it yeah I will you've seen you've seen Eric Lang and he's Riddinsky in lost oh I know him yeah that's true that face is familiar you would six feet under oh I'm sure I you know what I know that I would it sounds like my show for as long as it ever existed it was like, why am I not watching that? I just have never done. I'm amazed. Yeah, that's one of those things that I could have sworn we've talked about that you both, that we both loved. What's mind-blowing to me is that six feet under only had like four seasons, five seasons. It only existed 20 years ago and it stopped.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Yeah. Like, it just feels like, it feels so much more recent. One a bunch of awards at the time, though, right? It was like a big hit and everything. Oh, yeah. It gave us Peter Krause, gave us, um, uh, decades. The Dexter, the Dexter dude, Michael C. Hall, the mom we've seen in a million things since. It launched the careers, I think, of a lot of people that we've seen everything today.
Starting point is 01:14:58 I wonder if there's a compilation video of all, because every episode that starts with a new way somebody has died. Yes, right, right. You're like, oh, God, is this going to be? Oh, no, no, no, no, okay, we're good, we're good. Oh, my God. I just need to get around it, around to it. You do. It's my kind of thing. Francis Conroy, that's the, again, some of you see in everything these days. Ben Foster, I knew Lily Taylor was in it, but I didn't know Ben Foster was in it.
Starting point is 01:15:27 Richard Jenkins. Holy shit. All right. Well, no more waiting. I think I should watch this. Maybe I'll recommend it because no one's recommendaled it. Maybe I'll recommendal it, you know? There you go.
Starting point is 01:15:37 Yeah, go for it. Think of that. Hopefully it's not one of those things that HBO pulled, one of the original series that isn't out of It's on Netflix right now. It's actually on Netflix. They borrowed it out. Oh, is it really? Oh, interesting.
Starting point is 01:15:49 Okay. Well, anyway, that's six feet under, but I'm talking about Cattle Lake. But you know what? That works because I don't want to talk a lot about Cattle Lake and give anything away. Also, you get your Dylan O'Brien in there for those of you who like Teen Wolf and Maze Runner. You can see that handsome dude without any hair with a shaved head. Oh, nice. I've missed those shows.
Starting point is 01:16:11 You and me both. Teen wolf People like this guy though They're fans of this dude He's a he's a rising star I think You know He is yeah Very well liked for
Starting point is 01:16:25 Oh he's Dan Aykroyd In your Saturday night thing you went to see Yeah yeah and Boy does he Camellia in his way into that role Absolutely Embodies That's great
Starting point is 01:16:38 That whole thing that Dan Aykroyd used to The way he talked in the 70s and absolutely just goes right into it. This is also another little key thing is that it was produced by M. Night Shyamalan, which means his involvement is enough to make it kind of creepy and eerie, but not to screw things up.
Starting point is 01:17:05 Yeah. He did, like you did with Trap, which I will still defend as being horrible, even though a lot of people are saying, it wasn't that bad no it was it was absolutely bad yeah um anyway that that is all i want to say about it because i want to keep your intrigue exactly where it belongs this thing is is really cool sit there with with no phone no iPad watch it getting grossed by it and watch and just listen for the sound of your mind getting blown wow wow that's a strong recommendation
Starting point is 01:17:37 it is a strong recommendation and i will stand behind it that it uh um that it that absolutely lives up to that recommendation you're also like you're also not talking about a massive investment here we're not talking about a 10 episode series you're talking about a single film an hour and a half two hours whatever however long this thing is 99 minutes leave that you got you can find that much time in the cushions of your couch so so watch it uh watch it today 99 minutes of uh awesome weird coolness cool uh cato lake c-a-d-d-d-o C-A-D-O, Lake, spell just like you, spell Lake. Nice, like Lake Bell.
Starting point is 01:18:14 Like Ricky Lake. Like Ricky Lake. There you go. All the lakes. Like, Ricky Lake. 10,000 lakes. All the lakes. Whatever lakes you need.
Starting point is 01:18:21 All right. Randy, let's throw it over to you because I know you've got a bit of a rush off you got to do here. Let's get right into your thing. Do you have anything you want to set up for your clip? Just, I mean, this is the first time we're talking since last week. I'm probably not going to recommend anything. dreary for years. I'm probably, I'm probably now only coming with things that warm my heart. I just want you to know. I'm just like, I desperately need familiar and comforting.
Starting point is 01:18:53 And this is it. This is, uh, uh, the clip you're about to hear. And you all know what this is, but I'm, I'm begging you to watch with me right now. Uh, some, uh, roommates realized that they've got a, they've got a roommate they haven't seen in a while. All right. Here it is. Do you know who would remember? Who? Jerry. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:14 Jerry! Yes, good old Jerry. Jerry would remember everything. Sorry, who's Jerry? Jerry was our fifth roommate back in the old days. Yeah, Jerry's a good guy. Solid vampire. Jerry was a real leader, a man with a plan, or rather a vampire with a plan.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Pire. I mean, the man is all vampire. No bullshit. Even his name, Jerry the vampire. No frills, no chills. No blah, blah, blah. The relentless or blad, whatever. Jerry the vampire.
Starting point is 01:19:49 Bam. Thank you, Mr. Jerry and I used to have these really long talks, and he'd actually listened to me. He might have been the only person in this house that actually liked me. That's true. That's true.
Starting point is 01:20:06 Can we know where we have Nandor? Yeah, right, exactly. I'm this close, Carter and I are this close to finishing our catch-up. So this is perfect that you're doing this, and we're doing this right now. This is, I mean, this is, and this is the final season. So this is when people are going to be talking about it for the next few weeks. So you want to catch up and get into this. But what I love about this is that was the very first scene in the very first episode of the new season.
Starting point is 01:20:31 And it doesn't really tell you anything. Like, there's no, there's no spoiling here. There's no, there's no way to spoil this show. show like this show just it's constantly so random by the way if you if you don't know we're talking about what we do in the shadows yeah a series oh yeah i'm glad you said that because it feels so obvious to me that nobody was going to say the name so i'm glad you did right right yeah somebody somebody out there was going to look for it at shit outelect dot com it's it's as good as it has ever been and that's really saying something because the first series of what we do in the
Starting point is 01:21:06 shadows is remarkably good like it's in my top 10 all time it's like up there with like flea bag and shitts creek and they're they're really like going out on a high this is um they're what sixth season they're they've they've made it very very clear they're not doing anymore uh it's it sounds like the cast uh feels like they've done enough and uh they keep adding as that you know as time goes by they keep adding people to the cast so to speak it's it's hard to explain and they always have throwbacks to like famous guests that come on a show
Starting point is 01:21:42 too it's so fun I love it yeah I love this show so much it's so good okay okay there is one big through line plot that I could spoil and it has to do with Guillermo but other than that
Starting point is 01:21:56 like there is just this show is so random and it's so constantly weird and the show runners really have they've really dialed in on the character to a point that it's almost it's almost like this this is going to go bad i i you know like do you do you remember actually watching seinfeld in the last few episodes before it ended yeah and you're like oh they've run out of everything you know like they've run out of funny they've run out of steam
Starting point is 01:22:25 that these people don't seem to have like the same energy they used to that was my real concern about what we do in the shadows and it's not there's not it's not showing any signs of that at all. It feels like every time they get up on stage, I know everyone does this, but we see at cons and stuff, those guys seem genuinely like, they're like, they're having the time of their life and they don't want it to end themselves. And they see these videos of like, freaking what's his name, Matt Barry crying on set because he's like, oh, it's a final day of shooting and I can't take it. Like that's a, it seems like they all had a really good time making this thing, you know? I can't even imagine taking crying Matt Barry seriously, though,
Starting point is 01:23:03 because of his whole life. I'm trying. I'm so sad right now. I'm very sad. Yeah. That's, I mean, and there you've landed on something
Starting point is 01:23:13 that I think is, is kind of important, actually. And that is, this is the show that has proved that you can ask a great comedic actor to do 100 takes and then use his worst take every time.
Starting point is 01:23:26 And it's the best take. Yeah. Like, I don't know how that works. You know, Matt Barry has said over and over and over that he doesn't actually like it. He doesn't like that they keep asking him to do it again.
Starting point is 01:23:37 And so he does it differently. And once he's like completely miserable, they stop. But like what ends up in the show is every time. It's just, yeah, it's great. I love it. New York City. New York City. New York City.
Starting point is 01:23:57 I love it so much. That's a great recommendation. Go watch it, you guys. Where's all this? Hulu. Hulu and Disney now, or Disney, if you have the combo, I guess, but Hulu is where you watch it. I'm bundled, and I'm saving myself like $20 a month. Same.
Starting point is 01:24:10 Same. I do the same thing. It was a dumb thing. It took me way too long. What the hell was I thinking? It was stupid. Anyway, Randy, well done. That's awesome.
Starting point is 01:24:18 Go watch it, you guys. Go have fun at your thing today. Okay. I'm going to hang out for a few more minutes. Oh, you can stay. All right, good. We'll keep you as long as you want to stay. Hey, Nicole.
Starting point is 01:24:29 Let's throw it over to you. What are you got here? Yes. a movie for you. But before I recommend the movie, I just want to say I'm on the fourth season of Infinity Train now. It is one of the most wonderful shows I have watched in a very, very long time. And if you haven't watched it yet, I encourage you to pay $12 for the first season. I don't have time to watch something called Infinity Train. But there's only four seasons. And I'm really getting, I'm actually this representation. I'm just very sad that it's ending.
Starting point is 01:25:01 and it's one of those shows that I don't think a lot of people know about because it's kind of been hidden away it was on Max and it's something that I watch every night with my daughter and my son Brian has a point because it's four seasons they should change it to finite
Starting point is 01:25:17 train they really should get on that four seasons train is what they should call it yeah and it's a it's 10 minute episodes right yeah they're like 10 minutes and everything that I am recommending so the movie I'm recommending today it's based on the fact that I went into infinity train and I'm looking at the you would also like
Starting point is 01:25:38 so I'm going I love infinity train so much I'm like okay what else is in this vibe and this this is the movie that came up same way with last week last week was the Nandor Frodoor and the talking mongoose that came from infinity train to and this movie is coming from infinity train recommendation. The source of all great things. Here you go. I'll play it. Seems to be. Yeah, seems to be. You mock me. Three witches, perfectly simple and theoretically say. I was imprisoned by
Starting point is 01:26:09 Solomon precisely because I cried out my heart's desire only by granting you. Yours may I earn my release. Yes, well, I appreciate symmetry. But the thing is this, I cannot for the life of me, someone up one eligible wish. And you're asking me for three. Is there any life in you? Are you even alive? You know, in some cultures, absence of desire means in life. Then you are a pious fool. I still can't believe you saw this before me. I'm annoyed by this. Well, and see, I don't really follow directors.
Starting point is 01:26:39 So when you said, oh, you've seen a George Miller movie before me. I'm like, I don't know who that is. Well, he only made the greatest film of all time. I know. And then I was like, oh, Mad Max. Okay. Yeah, yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:26:50 So this is a movie. It was made in 2022 called 3,000 years of longing. and you heard, I'm going to butcher all these names, so get, buckle in. I can't wait for these. All right, go ahead. Tilday swine to. Oh, man. No, Tilda Swinston.
Starting point is 01:27:08 Yeah, Swinston. I always mess. Okay, so she was. Keep going. Keep going. I love it. Idris Elba. Does that I get it right?
Starting point is 01:27:18 You're closer with him. Closer with him. Okay, so he's the gin. So this is about, this is kind of an anthology of story. that the gin is telling Tilda Swinston's character. So she has found his bottle and released him.
Starting point is 01:27:36 And before you get to the scene that you just heard, you're getting, she's a, what is she a story? She specializes in, like, stories. So, like, she has a degree in, like, mythology, a scholar of stories of,
Starting point is 01:27:52 so she's, she's traveled to Istanbul, I believe. and she's seeing things. And so you're going to go through this movie going, is she crazy? And the stories that the gin tells her about, there's three stories that he will tell her. They're just wonderful.
Starting point is 01:28:14 And it's the kind of movie that I really, I just kind of let my mind wander, watched it. And then I go, all right, I need to watch the YouTube. after you know how you sometimes to watch a movie and you're like
Starting point is 01:28:29 I need an empty explained video really quick that's exactly what it was I mean you can take it at face value she found a gin and that's that and it's a great movie that way but there's other there's more layers
Starting point is 01:28:46 to it there's more meaning to it in her as a person and the life she has chosen and how she interacts with the world so it's it's a really good it's a good movie well here's the thing about george miller between mad max things he makes a lot of good shit that's just different and weird right he makes he made uh he's done everything lorenzo's oil was him for hell's sakes uh the second the segment of 30 000 miles in the air whatever hell it was in the in the um the twilight zone movie he did that
Starting point is 01:29:22 and it's the best segment in there in my opinion like the guy is so good and so versatile that I'm so happy to hear you say this because I've been nervous to see this one really yeah because of my my love of the sandwich it's in Fury Road then this and then Furiosa on top of it that is a hell of a weird sandwich and I was afraid of the meat I was just a little worried about the meat in the sandwich it's funny because if I would have gone into this going oh this is a mad max um kind of it's in that realm. I might have looked at it a little differently. I didn't know really going into it what it was going to be about other than that there was a, and it's a gin, right? It's a genie, basically. So, um, it's based on the gin of the nightingale's eye. What? Who's, who's playing a mobile game? Oh, I don't hear a mobile game. Not me. No, you might be hearing Mark cut something.
Starting point is 01:30:21 Cutting the cheese. He's cutting a mobile game. He's cutting the mobile game. That's going to cost you. It doesn't sound like a No, it's out of like a slot machine game. Oh, not me. You can see Brian and on camera.
Starting point is 01:30:36 I'm drinking a thing. Brian's standing there. Yep, I'm petting the cat right here. Randy, are you playing a mobile game? Are you playing a mobile game right now, Randy? Is that what's going on? Oh, how dare us. Did you just beat laparice in Pokemon Pockets or CG?

It might be gone. 37 hours when I was getting the link to put in the quicktms.lI, it said you have 37 hours to watch this. On Amazon Prime. It's on MGM Plus too. Oh, I still have that.

Starting point is 01:31:23 The poster makes it look like it's the old people's version of cloak and dagger from Marvel that you never request. A little bit. It also has a kind of everything everywhere all at once kind of looked at it. That's what I was going to say. There's a poster style that's going a little crazy right now where you put every scene from the movie on the thing. Random crap all over the place. My favorite Tilda Swinton, not Swinton, Swinton, is when she's all. cockney like that. Her voice in that
Starting point is 01:31:51 clip, freaking sign me up. I love her so much. Yeah. She's great. She's great in this movie. Yeah, I love him too, so everything's good. All right. Well, that's it. Thanks.

Starting point is 01:34:13 it comes from super anonymous says anything Thank you, with song information being Chapel Roan. So I can just assume this is Chapel Roan actually wanting to stay anonymous as she waits to release her next big thing and just keeping, you know, keeping quiet, keeping mum. So going out to Super Anonymous, this is a really cool cover of the song, Good Luck, Babe. Somebody, I think, let me know about this one, came out this year by a band called Senses. and really drives a hard edge into the song. Here is Good Luck, Babe, by Senses.
Starting point is 01:35:18 It's fine It's cool You can say the way of nothing but you know the truth And guess I'm The fool With her arms I like an angel through the car sunroof I don't want to call it off But you don't want to call it love
