I'm Scott Johnson, and that is Brian Ibbett. Konichiwa, Scott. Don't know, son. Oh, I like it. I don't know if that's, I might have. I think I screwed up the Domo son. This is pretty good. It's like, thanks, sir.

Oh, nice. You know, funny enough, you said Domo in there. And this right here. I'll be at the roundabout. That's, that's Ambassador Domo sent that in. It is. Okay. Yeah.

It's just him saying I'll be at the roundabout. Yeah. And that's all he sent. Don't know what, I don't know what's going on. I hope he's okay. I don't hope he made it to the roundabout. I don't know what's going on with Domo today. I hope he's not still going around the roundabout.

No, you can't have that. All right, the new, I wanted to share some good news here on a, what is it today, Wednesday. I wanted to share some good news. The new phone call system thing works really well. However, as happens with new things, there's been a change. The you are, yeah, he got a takedown notice for the voiceline. dot aAPP somehow that's caught up in some copyright mess right now oh come on now really that's lame it is super lame and uh he tried he explained it but it's it's obviously a little deeper than that

but it's basically came down to a copyright issue so he had to very quickly uh and impressively move to a new URL now the good news is if you're still using the other one it'll get you there for a while there'll be some kind of transition period but if you go to voicecast dot app slash tms that's the new thing to go to. So, yeah. Used to be voice line. Now it's voice cast. That apparently is safe and not tangled up in this mess.

So if you go to voicecast. app, APP, yeah, you know me. Slash TMS, that'll get your calls in. And I know that they worked because we got this yesterday. Helping you test your new system by saying fart gas, love the show, though. I don't know who that was, but whoever that was, thank you. Appreciate it. Yeah.

I love it. Yeah. How does Stephanie Inopetz feel that this is, a website with the top level domain app. Dot app. Oh man, I wonder. Even though it's not an app, it's on a domain that is a dot app domain. Yeah. She's right with that. Yeah. How do you feel, Stephanie?

You're going to, you know what? Try to call it. You know, send a message to it and see how you feel then. That's what I would say. Yeah. There you. Give that a shot. Don't be afraid. See how it goes. And then look, if you get there and it's a bunch of match threes or something then we understand it won't be though anyway uh yeah so everybody keep using that line like this person okay a fellow streaker I'll let her we'll let her explain what that means because I don't think it means what it might sound like but anyway here it is

hello morning stream this is baker's daughter from the discord I've been meaning to call in because I like you Scott have a puk streak that I have not broken for 30 years. And here's the story back in the 90s when I was in law school. I lived in a house in Connecticut for the summer with what I thought was a really old lady, which now I know she was probably in her 60s. But this woman was wonderful. She would come home every day from her job and she would chain smoke Virginia Slims and drink rum and Coke consistently until she went to bed. So I was a complete dork and she was really cool. And one day I thought wouldn't it be great to impress her with my amazing

margarita recipe which was amazing by the way Rosa's lime juice and quondro are the secret anyway overdid it on the margaritas my system really doesn't tolerate more than three drinks so that was the last time 1995 in the summer

that I broke the puke street 30 years haven't puked since just like you Scott I just can't do it I don't know it's I'm willing to let it go I'm willing to never puke again but just wanted you to know you have a fellow streaker. Yeah, sounds like it.

Also, are you like a lawyer now? You went to law school, so are you like a full-blown, like, you know, litigious... Pass the bar. Yeah. Yeah, that's very cool if you are. That's very cool. She could give us legal advice here on the show. That would be great, yeah.

I think, well, we have to give her a dollar, though. That's the rule. Oh. To maintain client confidentiality. Oh, is that the deal you have to have money pass? Yeah, it has to be a change. At least, if we've learned nothing else from TV and movies, well, I can help you, but give me a dollar or else I can't talk to you about this.

Oh, yeah. It's like a Better Call Saul scene, I think. Kind of, yeah. Where he walked in. He may have done it in Breaking Bad, but he said, give me that or tell me this. And now, okay, now you're my client. Now you can say whatever you want.

Yeah, yeah. All right. There was a movie I just watched, and I can't remember what it was, where Kiefer Sutherland was the lawyer. And, oh, it was the one where, um, uh nicholas holt had to go jury number two this is the one where he was uh um on a jury to for a trial for a crime that he actually committed but didn't remember committing or something right didn't know didn't know when he got put on the trial that he was going to be that that was going to be the case he and didn't even realize there was a crime right right like he he thought he hit a tree or something and i got to see that movie i like crime dramas or courtroom drama are some of my favorite things, if they're done right. Yeah.

And I really like Clint Eastwood's directing. And I love Nicholas Holt. So you have all the ingredients there. And you got, and you got Kiefer doing lawyer work. That's cool. Yeah. Didn't see that coming, you know? Nope.

It's really, really good. It's got maggots instead of noodles or whatever. I could watch it today. I could watch it today. Yeah. I mean, I finished, I did my recommendal last night. Spoilers, Monica. Come on now.

Oh, that's not. Yeah, that's the premise. all that stuff is that's premise it's all that is established in the first few minutes of the film yeah i don't think that one counts the spoilers yeah no i'm i'm not one to talk but i don't think it counts the spoilers i think brian exactly it does not um anyway thank you for that call and again yeah very cool just so those everybody's got it clear in their head it is now voicecast dot app so voice cast dot app slash TMS or slash core or slash frogpants wherever you go whatever show they all have them now um film sag etc exactly i got to go change some pages so that are the correct one but um if

you go to like the tms site right now has the current one so if you go to frogpance dot com slash tms it's there and i really want to keep using it because i like it a lot we just get a lot of nice voice clarity um he's adding features all the time in fact just yesterday i he said hey do you have any suggestions already and i gave him like three like kind of quality of life request thinking that it'd take you know maybe three months from now I might hear back he came back like last night said there you go they're up so it's very agile agile developer this guy and make sure you all use lowercase TMS because it is case sensitive the stuff after the um uh slash oh yeah the whole yeah exactly I should mention that uh I don't know why I wrote it in caps why I bothered with

well you did it just so it's easier to keep track when we read it but um yeah that was dumb that's Good to know. Thank you. You'll get a dead link if you try to capitalize. Oh, did he, does it work for all cases? Nope. Does it not? All lowercase. That might be a thing I'll tell him and he'll go, oh, that's easy. And now suddenly it'll work with all cases. That's the way this guy works. It's just an HD access change. Yeah, not a hard thing. Just hire Brian. I mean, honestly, just like get him in there. Yeah. Yeah. Hi, Brian. Hi, Brian. Let's get into games Speaking of Brian

And the thing he made We're going to have some fun We're going to try to give some stuff away We're going to add Oh, I almost called Recommmental Group Hold on there we go That would have been a mistake Can't ring those guys

Randy's at some sort of All hands meeting Right Right I love that term All hands Yeah Just picture like that

Everybody We need you get in here 8 o'clock it's like a hamburger helper convention or something just all hands they just have oh and thing yeah yeah all the disembodied hands how many are there that might be it though that might be the two um i'm sure there's like a is there another hand there's gonna be other disembodied hands yeah oh the one that's floating in front of the house poster for that movie house the horror movie from the pushing the doorbell yeah that one's it disembodied that would work that's true like this and then there's enough of it would be a great comic strip right all hands meeting and

it's like the hamburger helper do the thing in his box i love this this is an idea that we should pursue but instead we're going to do this guy walkers hand yeah yeah why not there you go that's great got to draw it holding this lightsaber yeah i love it oh look who it is it's old brian denaway rolling up out of bed ready to rock getting it done just kidding you're not in bed you're working you're working you're busy that was that whole thing was rough versus old ryan done away rolling out of bed durn oh hi scott and ryan oh hi hi hi hi hey hey uh hey uh how are you doing what are you doing today you're working working you're working the man i'm celebrating my mommy's birthday she's uh yeah she just she just she just changed the days this year i was gonna say how

she was and i was like she probably doesn't want me you know telling everybody how was she so yeah my mom having birthday to die oh that's nice happy birthday to her tell her that we all wish her nothing but the best for for uh mrs old mrs dunaway no not old regular regular age mrs dunnaway hey hey anyway tell her thank you for for birthing you into this world yeah thanks man were you or she calls me always it's great she calls me every my birthday every year she calls me and reminds me of the experience that was the magic of my childbirth but she always frames it as a positive, but I'm always like, mom. Okay. How did, were you a rough birth? Were you a hard push? What was your deal? Do you know?

No, no. I was, it was fine. There's nothing spectacular. I was born on a military base. Um, mom got, I think it was like five in the morning. Yeah. So, you know, it was early. Yeah. Um, she was very excited to have me. She had had some previous, uh, miscarriages. So a lot of anxiety there. Sure. But yeah. So came right into the world and, uh, made everything. thing wonderful and she always tells me I'm her best child. Of course I'm sure she tells that to my sisters too. That's what she does yeah that's what mom's right. Especially that generation of mom they have a hard time right doing that and then making you feel like you're the special one but really she says it to everybody they all do it yeah yeah you're the best you're the best of all my children

oh is other kids here the other kids are here she'll tell them the other thing I would say about all this is that um we we also but so you and I have a lot in common and one of the things that things I didn't realize we had in common is our mothers both had a good number of miscarriages before we came into this planet and I don't know why that is significant but it feels significant my mom had like eight before I was born it was like a ton right my mom had several most likely due to we were stationed at Camp Lejeune at the time miscarriage is very common because of the water you probably have all heard of I've never heard of that she eligible is she eligible for those uh correct today for those cash uh

payouts. Yes, my dad has pursued that stuff as well as my mom. I'm not sure about the current status of all that, but yeah, absolutely. I had a, I had a brother who was born the year before me. He was born Spina Bifida. And he lived for about five hours. They got to, they was on a flight, trying to get to another hospital. And yeah, he just, he did not make it. So yeah, yeah. Wow. That's wild. Yeah, my mom had to carry some, one of her babies died. it like seven months, and she had to carry the same baby the final two months and give

birth to a stillborn child. It's all they could do then, because it was so fully formed, like you can't really do anything. So, I don't know, that generation women and all the weird chemicals we were feeding them. What the hell were we doing? Hey, Brian, let's get to this game here.

Let's go from rough. Oh, yeah, shit, we got to ask somebody. I'm getting all excited about nothing here. Hold on. All right. number four who's number four oh my gosh dude you won't believe who's number four oh no well it's a good thing because he'll just slowly rotate around oh is a rotisserie who you're talking about the problem is oh it's shave hold on right i always forget it's shave not it's our new karaoke temporarily karaoke master for tms 2025 oh my gosh do we all have to slowly rotate with our microphones

we do we have to when we sing it's like like, and I need you now tonight. Dude, listeners at home, you just, you would have just witnessed, if you see this, you'd witness Brian's best use case so far for his wireless headphones that he bought because there's no wires. That would have strangled me. Exactly. Let's all be thankful for these great new blessings.

Hey, look who it is. It's shaved Maddox. What's going on, man? Oh. Oh, hi. Hi. How are you? It's been ages since I've heard your voice.

voice well Vegas I guess the last time I heard you because none of your videos by the way none of these videos I always make fun of where he's like rotating still he doesn't talk in him no it's just a quiet yeah he's a quiet riot every time who needs to talk are you currently wearing a tie-dye tank sleeveless tank when it is five degrees out oh good point I always forget what part of the country you're in where are you Wisconsin oh Wisconsin freaking cheese land. Go Green Bay, I guess. We're pretty close. We're six degrees here. It was negative two when I went out for coffee this morning. Oh my gosh. You are kicking our ass. I think we're at land. What are we? We're at 34. It's not bad. It's kind of warm. We're just getting your

leftovers. I'll tell you what. I'd tell you what I wouldn't be doing getting coffee. Yeah. You just stay home? Yeah. Brian, plus Brian's an energetic morning guy. He goes after. I knew more before 7 a.m. than most of you, suckers do all day long. Yeah, seen like two movies and a couple of episodes of some TV show by the time 6 o'clock rolls around. I nearly finished dealer-no-deal Island this morning by 6 a.m. It's like drinking in the morning. All right, well, let's get to this game, Brian. Explain it and what Shane stands to win today.

Okay. It's time to play the Tad Pooley feud. Oh, like Adam Settler. I've surveyed the Tadpool on some... topics and Scott and Brian will have to show me to do predict the answers they gave us. It's Scott and Brian's job to see how many of those

answers they can guess. Shane, your job is more important than ever because you're going to be working with either Scott or Brian. If your team wins, you get a prize package that includes Jagged Alliance 3 and Fallout 4. Oh, that's a good, right. Wow.

The apocalyptic package, man. That's awesome. Yeah. Very cool. Just real quick, the Sandler song. I just reloaded. Yeah. That Sandler song he did. Oh, yeah. The 50 years.

It's been 50 years. I got all choked up, man. It was so sweet. It was great. There's parts of it where I was just like, oh, yeah, Chris Farley. And he talked about all the people who died and all that. It was just really sweet. Sandler's good at that man.

He's good. He really is. He really is. It was great. I have 43 new Netflix movies I'm working on, too. Only one will be any good. Halloween. Oh, you do it.

All right. All right, let's do it. I'm ready. Woo. All right. Let's see here. We asked 460 tadpoolers to give their best response to this. Put your hands on your buzzers and answer this question.

What is the most evil fictional corporation from film or TV? Scott. It took a couple of clicks there. The Wayland Utani, the alien universe. Oh, that's good. show me the company as they're occasionally known yeah wayland utani yeah in the first movie they're called the company no where they were the company in the first one and i think they called them that they still called them that in two and in the third or sorry in romulus it's a little

bit back and forth there's like waylon yutani written on things but you hear them say the company a lot yeah i really like that they were they brought it they made it feel consistent with Romulus. I need to give Romulus another watch. Oh, I love that. I'm not my fourth. Fifth? I think I saw it. Oh, no, I'm working on a fifth. I got a friend who didn't see it. Yeah, wants to come over, so we're going to, that'll be my fifth viewing.

Very excited. I don't have time to watch your YouTube because I'm watching movies that I've seen a hundred times, a hundred one time. It's a genre gravity problem. The genres I like have really strong pull for me. I know. Listen, I can't argue with that. How many times have I rewatched a Marvel movie? especially in preparation for the next Marvel.

So I get it. Sure, sure. All right, Brian, you have a chance here. Craven streaming yet? Yeah. I kind of want to see Craven, but only with you guys for film sacks. So we got to. So basically, as soon as that thing is framing, we better put it on the list because.

Yeah. Got to be soon. No, they need to make some money somehow. There you go. Done away, you want to shoot a shot number one? One answer will beat it, Brian. Oh, am I still playing? I thought that I'd just been ejected.

Oh, hi. Okay. All right. Yeah, we get it. We get it. It's fine. It's okay. It's my mom's birthday.

It's not about me. No, of course. How about some robocop omnicorp? Oh, that's good. How about that? Sure. Is it Omnicorp? It's OCP, my friend.

OCP, my friend. OCP, but that's what it's right. Is it OCP? Yeah, they also call OCP. Does the OCP stand for Omney? Is it down the OCP? Omni corporation. Yeah, you know me.

Potential. All right. Show me OCP. You know all the way down number six. More points, but you don't get control and you don't get shame, most importantly. What's weird. Oh, there it is. Most evil fictional corporation from film or TV.

So this is not. Wait. What? Oh, you're reading the question. Yeah, I'm just looking at it up top because it wasn't showing up and then showed up. So I, it's a bad question. But judge, can I ask a question to the judge? sure this did this

is it just a fool's errand to bring up any video game companies or oh you don't I mean or can you not tell me it's okay if you can't I just yeah I mean are they video games that have been turned into film or TV couple cases yeah and the ones I'm thinking of

then that I don't know then those would count I guess they would count certainly our tad pool would think about video game based companies that had been turned in movie or TV sure all right well Shane let's slowly rotate to victory here do you have anything popping off in your head currently that yeah I think cyberdine is probably number one oh shit that's a good one of course yeah skynet and all that let's do it cyberdine corp

all right show me cyberdine systems oh really number five really sky net not the top all right not the top apparently somebody's a little bit more evil than that apparently all right all right I'm to go with this is one I was hung up on let's try it Umbrella corp from Resident Evil

is in the movies too I think it counts and there is TV and movie versions of that there have been adaptations sure all right show me the umborella Ella Ella corporation oh number one number one answer on the board

wow okay I thought we were gonna get lucky with some tail end ones but all right yeah so so very evil that they made Mila Jovovich who's cred. Yeah, do too many of them. That's what she did.

That's right. I blame her husband because he's the director and I think he just drug her through all those. I could be wrong. Best long? No,

it was Luke Besan? No, it's Paul W.S. Anderson. Yeah, W.S. Anderson. Yeah.

Not the good Paul Anderson. Although the guy, he did. The son during Fifth Element, right? Oh, right. He was the director, yeah. But I don't think she was with him.

I think they were just. Were you just talking? about some movie you liked of his? Yeah, it was the space horror movie whose name just left me. Oh, Event Horizon. I love that movie,

but I really do feel like it's like the one good one he ever made. Yeah, he was married to Milojovich from 97 to 99, Luke Basson. I didn't know that. I thought she was only ever married to Paul W.S. Anderson. I guess her deal is that...

He gave her two years of a multipass. No wonder he made her wear a duct tape or whatever a gallonless evening strap yeah yeah um all right jane how are we feeling here you got anything uh engine comes to mind engine what's that from Jurassic Park oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I was gonna say what I was kind of remember what it was like is it ham incorporation I was like what is it oh shit that's it that's it I worry about that I worry about that because well let's try it we got 10 slots let's give it a shot engine's a good guess sure all right Engine's great.

Show me engine. Number 15. They're up there. You're going to get that one. Not quite as... I feel like those movies don't talk about the company that often, you know? So it's hard to remember. This on the side of the helicopter everywhere.

I don't know, man. I thought it was a good kiss. I thought so, too. And, you know, not Randall. What's the guy's name that's in all those that... Not Randall Park. Oh, B.D. Wong. Bidi Wong. Thank you.

Yes. He's great. He is great. He's the evil member of an in Jen. Yeah. Bidi, Bidi, Bidi. Although, he's a little back and forth, right? Like, he's, well, no, he's definitely a villain now, for sure. Yeah, I was going to say, I guess he's the first movie he was pretty good.

Yeah, he was just in there working. I don't think we knew yet, but he turned out to be kind of a butthole. Right. All right. Well, I mean, Brian gets good. See what you can do there, Brian D. Big D. Pretty close score, by the way, Brian.

You've got six points to. Scott and Shane's eight points, so... Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Ah, geez. You know what's hilarious? I'm drawing a blank. The only thing I can think of is from Rocco's modern life.

Oh, what? I can't, I can't seem to get past it. All I could just see is, all I could just see is Cogamo. And that's all I can see. And I'm like, all right, let me get, let me get, let me get Glambo out of my head. And maybe then I can start thinking some. some other evil course. Give it a shot.

Never heard of that. I mean, I love that show, but I don't remember that company. Conglamo. I love how long that took the buzz. I was really quickly searching to see if anybody said conglamo, nobody said conglombo. Okay, but now I feel like I've been constipated. I got that out. Now maybe the evil will flow.

Oh, I know now. Of course. Yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead. I'm sorry. It's our turn. All right.

I was thinking, um, uh, shit, what was I thinking? Now I've forgotten it because you're conglomal through me. Uh,

Shane, Shane, did you have one of the, did you have one of the tip of your? Well, I think Luther Corp. Is that, oh,

Luther Corp. Is that great? Is that the actual company? I think it is Luther Corp. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. all the most evil, uh, people in comics and movies, they always put their name in their corporation. It's right. Yeah, and there's another one,

but I think that one probably be, all right. I like, I like it. Let's do it. Let's say that. Although what we'll do is we'll say, uh, because he made it after his first name, it is Lex Corp. Show me Lex Corp. Lex Corp. Number eight. That's good money. Good money. I bet there is a version. I bet there is a Luther Corp, somewhere, Luther Corp somewhere in the, um, I just heard it. I thought the new movie had it that way in the trailer, but maybe not. Oh, I know what I'm, I know what I'm think. Oh, yeah,

it is longer, isn't it in that? That's probably where I was thinking that too, because there's a shot of pulling out and the building is bridged with a logo and I think it's Luther Corp. I think it's. I think you're right. Brian, I'm going to go ahead and insert that we should stay in comics for a moment and say OzCorp, OzCorp. Ooh, OzCorp.

By the way, in Smallville, it was Luther Corp and then renamed Lexcorp. Oh, there you go. Okay, so it's got some. And who knows, it might also be Luther Corp in the new trailer as well. Should be NUCorp. Yeah. Let's get it in there.

Sharon Oscorp, I'd say yes. show me show me oscorp oh what yeah I know it's especially with the new amazing Spider-Man or friendly Spider-Man animated series

which is excellent oscorp industry has only made it as high as number 18 damn dude I'm shocked by that one I'm sure that would be in there if LexCorp is in there how is that not in there

I don't get it yeah I don't know I don't know well it's your move done away what do you have there buddy boy Well, in the honor of my mom's birthday, I'm going to go with Mom Corp from Futurama. Burf. All right. Burf. Birthday.

Dursh Day. All right. Show me Futurama's Mom Corp. Ah, good call. Good call, dude. Well done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, taking you to 10 points to Scott and Shane's 16.

Oh. Four answers still left on the board, too. Yeah. we decided no video games right so well unless they were unless they turned to something that yeah turned into a movie or TV show and we already have number one answer came from a video game yeah yeah umbrella corp is R.E which is you know obviously in the movies and stuff

so that's why it made it but I don't know if there are any others like that like it does seem like that might be our only one but I don't know oh man I believe in you Brian I am just drawing blanks left and right I can think of stuff like Antman like is it like Penn Corp isn't that like didn't have like a corp or something

stick the word corp at the end of it Yeah put a corp in the end of it As long as you get in my head Yeah what is that all about Yeah you need a movie company put a corp in it Yeah put a corp behind it That's a great one What's your easiest thing to do? All right how about

Oh my God I've drawn so many blanks We did the big ones wait we did Robocop we did Alien we did the we did Terminator how about the what company was in the running man

was it just running man corp no what was it did your boss in enterprises running man corp running man corp was it king corp I bet it was something stupid it would have had something

Stephen King would have named so what would he name maybe the judges will give it to you running corp running corp running corp running corp from Running Man. Maybe that's all you need to tell me is just that.

Okay. Okay. Maybe not. All right. Show me the corporation and running man. You know? I mean, I don't know what it is, but I didn't recognize. There was nothing in the list that I was, that I couldn't, that I couldn't recognize and say,

oh, yeah, that's from this. That's from that. But, oh, ICS television. Thank you, Sean. That's right. It was ICS television. Oh, so, okay. It did have a name.

Just nobody remembers those names. what was it i c s oh television okay that makes sense okay i got you um Shane you got any got any big ones yeah i did have i don't know i don't know i don't do you i don't know if this falls under a fictional evil mega corporation but um for some reason i was thinking the Dharma initiative oh right from uh i don't know if that counts i think it actually does i like that one yeah they do have that's a that's a brilliant one CD under my under pinnings yeah yeah they got the bear the bears and the whatnot you know canned goods whatever they do over there let's do it I think we go with lost's uh big company big bad yeah they've even they've even put me on screen there scott they've even a Dharma corporation even gave me this awesome uh Bluray desk look at that dude was that part of the ADR thing they did or the whatever it's called the the game they had going what do you know no wasn't that was cool though that yeah game. No, this is the documentary

called Getting Lost, which I helped fund with GoFundMe with interviews with Damon Lindelof, Daniel Day, Kim, Elizabeth Mitchell, Mielder Raven, Evangeline Lilly, Henry Ian Cusick, J.J. Abrams, blah, blah, blah. The list goes on.

And superfan Bobby Moynihan, who is like a surprisingly huge lost loste. Whoa. Have you opened it? It looks like it's unopened. No, it's been open. So that's just the cardboard sleeve.

But I haven't watched this actual Blu-ray because I watched the, they gave me a link when it got released to film festivals. I got to watch the film festival link. So I haven't actually watched this DVD, but apparently there's bonus stuff on here. That's cool. Excellent, excellent documentary, by the way. Nice. Yeah, it sounds great.

So if you need to go back, look for getting lost. I still think the series should have ended with Found. well now there's a new TV show called found oh that's true they're just not connected to it but yeah there is a found all right Dharma initiative let's get to it show me Dharma initiative Damn it

Really surprisingly not yeah I don't know You know there were There were some evil people in the Dharma initiative But the corporation itself I don't know amazingly Dharma initiative did not even make it in the list I was thinking you'd get somebody somebody would submit it as an answer and it's not even in here.

Oh my gosh, it just hit something just hit me. I have to wait until Dunaway is done, but I think I may have gotten a good way. No, no, no, go ahead. No, I'm not telling you. No, no, no, we don't want to steal anything. You can run the board down away. Yeah, yeah, you got to, you actually have some points to make up here. Let's see if you can do it.

Oh, yeah, yeah, just no way. There's, let's see. Oh, jebis. everything I'm thinking is I've been watching so many cartoons lately I can think it was like Cobra from G.I. Joe

It's like I've been watching those too that's funny I didn't know you're watching G.I. Joe. I've been having those go. Oh yeah, yeah. I didn't mean to start watching G.I. Joe, but it was following up after I was watching

pole position cartoons. So I was getting some G.I. Joe. And I've just been kind of, but what was it called? Was it called like Cobra Inc. or Cobra Corp or? Probably Cobra Cobra. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cobra, I think it's just Cobra.

I think it was this Cobra. That's all they ever yelled. Wasn't an acronym for something like, oh, I think it did stand for something of people. Cobra. Cobra. B, buy. Burroughs. Birthday.

The Cobra Cabana. The corporation of pros resisting authority. Perfect. With a snake for a logo. That's right. Exactly. Either that or just evil corporation. That's surely been used in some movie.

I like fastidious. fastidious in the chat says Cobra LLC. That's fantastic. Cobra LLC. A division of that was good. Colton Sacks.

That was amazing. All right. So what are you going with? You going with Cobra? Cobra. All right. Show me Cobra. That's the third strike.

Sadly, that is game. Congratulations to Scott and Shane. Yeah. Jack, Shane. I thought for a second you were going to figure it out, Brian, because you said it,

but you didn't. You didn't really lead on it. Number three, it's right there in the question. Evil Corp. Oh, for me, shit. Can I, before you tell me the rest, are one of these the thing from Severance, Lumen, Lumen from Severance?

Because it's all anyone's talking about right now, so I thought maybe I'd sneak in there. Lumen is, it's in the list, but only made it as high as... Poop. 16. Okay, because they're pretty evil this season. Not a spoiler. Yeah, did not make the top.

Let's see here. Number seven is by and large from Wally. I like that one. Number nine, I thought you might, again, seemed like you might have been going there, but neither of you went there. Number nine also comes from a video game that was adapted into an excellent TV show. Voltaic. Oh, from the fallout.

Oh, I thought it said bulk tech. Yeah, Voltaic, duh. Yeah, Voltax good. The destruction of many, well, not many, one coyote over and over and over again. They're not really evil. He just doesn't use their products correctly. Acme ink. Yeah.

That would have been some serious points. That would have been some good points. It was like the Amazon of that time period. There was a three-way tie for 11, so I really would have given you the extra guess if you would have said any of the three of these. Blue Sun from Firefly Vot from the Boys and Zorg from Fifth Element. We even talked about the fifth element. Coming down the rest of the list, we've got Spector. A couple people in that will check in Specter.

Makes sense. Dufan Schmitz Evil Incorporated. Oh, of course. Rocks. Yeah, that's your Marvel, your highest Marvel appearance, I think. Yep. Soylent Green, the Arasaka Corporation from Cyberpunk. Terrell, a corporation from Blade Runner.

Terrell, yeah, Blade Runner. Verradiens dynamics from Better Off Ted, the Gizmonic Institute from MST-3K. Hydra. Hydra. Yeah, Hydra. Of course, Hydra. I should have kept going down the comic, but it wouldn't matter when I got any points. That's 25.

You would have not gotten anything for that. Chaos from Get Smart. Now, Kwikowski, Mercantile from The Expans. Shinreff from Final Fantasy 7, the Empire from the Star Wars. I almost said it, but I was just like, it's not really a company. It's like a government. Yeah, I was thinking about the Vogons, because they're kind of, you know, going to run right over you, corporate wide. Yeah, so.

Sure. Aperture science. Wolf, not ever adapted, by the way, into a movie or TV show that I can think of, unless you count that thing that Tractenberg did, which was excellent. Oh, it's so good. Yeah. Needs to be expanded into a full-on movie. Let's just do it. Or a series or something.

Wolfram and Heart from Angel, Alchemax, also from Marvel, I believe. Bad Wolf from Doctor Who, Bifco, Black Mesa. Bifco, from Back the Future. Yes, I think that's... Back to the future, too, yeah. The Baran Corporation from dungeon crawler, Carl, Claw. Claw, are you kidding me, Gadget? Come on.

Is he, I guess he's a, that's a company, isn't it? I think that's even an acronym. Isn't Claw an acronym? It is. It's an acronym, yeah. Yeah, that counts. Chumbucket, Duff Beer, EA Games. I think we all know who wrote EA Games is the most evil fictional corporation.

Gosh, I can't imagine who that Canadian expat might be. It might be, yes. Ewing Oil, the Galactic Cade Federation. Oh, my gosh. Who is writing a, who's putting a Dallas reference in here? I'm hats off to whoever that is. That's amazing. Cowboy hat off.

Tell you a 10-gallon. This one's even a deeper cut and I love it. Gary's Old Town Tavern. Oh, my gosh, dude. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Gene Coe from Repo, the Genetic Opera, Gilead,

Hudsucker, innovative online industries insurecare Los Poyos Hermanos It's true, it's good though, it's really good No, I don't think you I don't think you watch die hard carefully enough

Nakatomi Corporation was okay Network 23 from Max Headroom Let's see here I want to go back and watch that again That's been popping up my feet too Max Headroom Yeah I wouldn't mind revisiting a bit

Just to see if it's as innovative as we all thought it was at the time. I don't know. Oh, I'm sure. Right. Yeah, I don't know. Somebody put Springfield Republican Party from Simpsons. Is that the one that Hank Scorpio? Oh.

No, I think so. That was... Was it a Scorpio Corp or something? Scorpio, something like that. Yeah, like Spector. Like a play on Spector. Yeah, the guy, the fire thrower guy, right? The Redhead dude who was like, hey, Homer, hold on a second.

I got to repel all these dudes who are trying to attack the Super Station or whatever. It's an amazing episode, really. it's really really good uh the serious cybernetics corporation um uh virtue con industries from austin powers the bogons space fleet actually it was right they're the worst a hyperspace subspace super high right through worth yep right to worth and wonka chocolate uh the final most evil corporation it really is destroying kids yeah i do have to give give props to rufus in the chat about vandalay industries though oh i didn't see it And you want to be my late tech salesman.

One of the greatest long-running things in the history of sitcoms. Say Van der Leigh. Say Van Deley! With his pants down. So good. And you want to be my salesman. It's amazing. Well, well done.

You know what this means? It means we play this file here. Congratulations. And that means Shane's walking away the winner of both Fallout for my personal favorite fallout. I like New Vegas more, but it's mostly because, well, it's a long story. But anyway, Jagged Alliance 3, fantastic follow-up to Jagged Alliance 2 and 1. In fact, Jagged Alliance really kind of the OG of post-apocalyptic video games.

So you're winning, you're just winning on both ends, really, is what you're doing here. Congratulations. Shane, is there anything you'd like to say about your win, your big win? This is awesome. Thank you, thank you guys so much. And we'll see you in a little long. Yeah, we'll see you not too long. Yeah.

Some karaoke with you. Yeah. In between now and then, rotate. slowly. All right. Hey, Dunaway, Friday, me, you, 130, pole position. I'm going to get my poll in the right position for Friday. That's right. We're going to do some pole position. I hooked up my GRS freewheeling spinning wheel and I am having much better luck at playing pole position now. Playing it with analog stick.

Yeah, it's not so great with that. But you're right. But that's the one you used for, didn't we use that for Super Sprint or something? You bought that for that, right? Is that the same? Yes, I used it exactly. I bought the way. I already had the spinner because we played it's a centipede and then you just attach the big heavy wheel because that's how they used to do they just had like a spinner at the arcade and they would put a steering wheel on it you just and you could just spin that thing i love that i love that feeling it's not very accurate to driving but it still felt really good it's not and i bet you the arcade people were like would you stop walking by and spinning the wheel oh yeah they do it with balls too like it's fun to do right

Like, you just walk, I, yeah. Like, why wouldn't you? They were asking for it, you know? Like, put it in a lock, have it. So if there's no quarters in the machine, it locks. It's not that hard. Could have done that. Where those, where those steering wheel lock things called?

Yeah. The big ones that was on TV. Oh, what are those called? So nobody still, somebody steals your car. Is that all this? Steering wheel lock is probably it. No, they called us something else. Did they have a name?

It was a name. The club. The club. That's right. When they gave me my free one for all the people on TikTok who explained how to steal a Kia Soul very easily, they called it a steering wheel lock. They don't want to get in copyright trouble. They didn't give us the name brand of the club.

Well, you know, that's knowledge you can take to your grave, Brian. I think you should always be practicing, breaking into other people's cars. That's right. Definitely. I can't wait. It's going to be great. 1.30 Mountain Time, frogpants.com slash play retro. and good news, voicecast. Dot app slash Play Retro exists,

which means you can use the new voicemail system for that show as well. Here's the truth of it. No matter where you put the voicemail, I'll get them. But we have one for each show. So it just makes it nice and easy. Oh, I'm calling Play Retro?

Cool. I'll do the slash play retro version of this. And then you'll send us those calls and then we'll play them on the air. So if you want to have us play something this week, you had some experience as a kid with pole position. You walked into the arcade and it made a fart noise. And you don't know why.

And you'd like to ask why. Well, good news. News, voicecast.app slash play retro to leave your voicemail. Done away, I look forward to seeing you then. Have a fantastic rest of your week and kiss our butts. Very good. He won. He said you too first.

Did you miss Bill's segment yesterday? Don't worry. You can visit Punished Props. com anytime you want go there now that's right bill is uh always up to something cool and you guys should be checking his site out and bookmarking it uh you know sub to his youtube channel all that stuff do you ever feel like do you ever feel like we made a mistake by you by so liberally using the term subscribe to stuff because in some some context it means you're here to pay for something in other contexts it just means no i just want to be notified when you put

something up or an RSS feed for a podcast you subscribe to it but you're not paying for it you're just getting it right right I mean it's it can be confusing descriptions and paid subscriptions so I mean I guess I know what you're saying maybe maybe it's just me it may just be like in my head it sounds dual like it sounds like it sounds like you have to explain yourself a little bit like it's free right don't worry I think yeah I mean I think you you just subscribe because you can even there's a there's just a basic English oh I don't subscribe to those points of view kind of thing right good point you don't pay to subscribe to that that belief that's true you can so at a baseline subscribe should not be monetary it just means it just means uh i don't get

i don't follow all the issues of that no this is good this is good it's taking me you've actually i've got better i feel like i have a better outlook on the use of the term yeah and if i'm going to use it more i'm going to say things like uh so don't forget to subscribe to the channel it's free You know, I'll just say things like that. Yeah. Yeah. And then nobody's confused. Right. Here's a fun one.

Here's a real dummy. Yeah. A firecracker exploded in a woman's mouth in China after mistaking it for candy. Jeez. I have questions, though. Aren't they on fire when you put them in and stuff like that? I would think so unless it's like a, you know, those poppers, those little, those ones you have to pull the thing to open. It's something that maybe friction causes to explode.

I don't know. It does feel, it does feel, you know, very Acme Corporation. Yeah. Like Coyote, like, eat in a stick of dynamite, not realizing that the end is on fire or something. What's the ones in the little bag that you throw on the ground snaps? Oh, yeah, those snappers, yeah. Snappers, yeah. Whatever the hell they were called.

Maybe those would fool you. That would do it, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because that would have the pressure when you bite down on that, that does. Oh, why does that sound so terrible? It sounds painful as hell. It just, yeah, would not be fun. Having just gone to the dentist and have a tooth reset.

By the way, I got the surfer dude dentist again. Oh, yeah. He's great because he's good. He's a good dentist. He's a fully qualified, graduated with honors dentist. He knows what he's doing, but he sounds like a surfer. So he comes in and goes, oh yeah, hey, man. It's been a week since I saw you here, man.

Like kind of like, it's more like the dude. from Big Lobowski. And so he's always like, so he said, yeah, oh, yeah, we get that loose tooth. Okay, let's take a look in there, man. And he starts to look in there and he goes, oh, really going to bring your mouth together. Yeah, it's like that. He talks that way the whole time.

He does a fine job, but I always feel like I'm getting worked on by like Encino Man or not Encino Man, but what's his name, Polly Shore or something like that. It's really weird. Would you like to be wheezing some more juice? He goes, he goes, he goes, you know what's cool. I'm like, what? He goes, the good news is the air pressure thing in here's a little low. So you're not good.

This isn't going to hurt so bad when I blow air on your socket there. It's going to be okay, man. And I'm like, I don't know whether I should love you or be terrified of you. I can't tell. All Dennis have ever known have been boring and he's like, exciting. Anyway, that's cool. So this woman, it's woman in Shangdu. Shangdu?

Sure. Okay. That's how you would say that if you saw that word? I would say Chengdu, yeah. All right, I don't feel bad then. In China, accidentally ingested a firecracker stick that was packaged in a way that closely resembled a childhood treat. It says tree, but they clearly a typo. It was a long treat.

Yeah, they also left the tea off the next paragraph, which has a the. Saving money by eliminating teas in their story. It's all no teas, no tease for the story. The woman, or he woman, as it says here. Heat Woman, known only as Wu, posted about the frightening incident on Webo, which is like their Twitter type thing, explained that their brother had bought some snacks, one of which was a blister pack containing the firecrackers, unbeknownst to her. Oh, you got plenty of letters to write out unbeknownst, but you can't fit a couple of teas in here? Geez. Anyway, firecracker

packaging bore a striking resemblance to a tarot-flavored candy she had when she was younger without properly identifying the content she placed one directly in her mouth i thought it was the packet of candy uh and it was a dark time dark at the time sorry i opened it ate it and it exploded in my mouth so it must have been a pressure one i think so yeah i'm looking by the way the photos the photos of what she put in her mouth and what she thought it was uh it just couldn't be couldn't be further from uh that does not look like a treat dude that looks like it does not look like a a treat but scroll down to the next photo photo on the left is the firecracker photo on the right are the taro flavored candies that she confused it for what you think they were beef flavored

versions of those or something tart and tinies and indeed these are if you scroll down there's a little gift that's a one you throw down at the ground it explodes so basically snaps oh oh we don't have them like this that would be cool to have a whole stick oh i know a little individual blister packs yeah ooh that's the inside of her mouth there yeah that looks painful yeah i don't like i don't like i don't like close up to mouths it's gross no no how does that do oh hi sorry my wife oh that's very nice thanks what the hell is this she brought you a firecranker treat all right y'all need to see this poo looking thing but it's supposed to be good for me what's it called again chia seed tapioca or just chia seed pudding so she got this recipe for chia seed pudding now it looks

like a cat has a problem it does it totally does it smells okay and i'll eat it later but i'm sure this is good Thank you for the weird thing. All right. Yeah, do I need to talk to Kim about bringing food to you during the show? Does she not know, but I'm the misophonia? And I always tell her, I'm like, you know, I can't eat these things while you bring them. She goes, I know, I'm just, I got it done.

So I'll just bring it. And I'm like, it's fine. It's just, long as it's not something that's going to go bad if I said it's hot. Yeah, exactly. Because I'm happy to wait. All right. Anyway, good job. Don't eat firecrackers.

Don't eat fire. That's the bottom line. That's the takeaway. Yeah. If you put a thing in your mouth, be sure what it is. That seems like basic, you should do that. Right, exactly. All right, we're going to take a break.

When we come back from this break, Tom Merritt will join us, talk a little tech. We have a little recommendals after that, so stick around. Brian, let's play a song. Yeah, this is a fun one. This is a brand new band. I don't know about brand new, but new to me, Brooklyn-based, well, actually, Brooklyn-based solo effort. So it's not even a band. It's Tara Theson, but she performs under the name Tea Eater.

And she reminds me, she's got a little bit. bit of a St. Vincent vibe. She's got one of those voices that that could also do commercials and audiobooks and things like that. Like she's just got a really, a really clear presentation-y-sounding voice, which works really well for a song called Little White Dog in a Gated Community. Yes, Tea Eater and the song Little White Dog in a Gated Community. This is fun. Push your face up Empty your spirit She will blitz her

Shove yourself in a soul container I'm a white dog in a gay community I'm a white dog in a gay to killie I'm a white dog in a gayer community I'm a white dog in a gayer community I'm not ashamed I'm not ashamed I look to the future

Got my ticket on the roller coaster I had to do it all again to do with the sight I'm not ashamed I'm not ashamed I'm a white dog in a cater community I'm a white dog in a gated community I'm a white dog in a gated community I'm not ashamed

I'm not ashamed I'm a white dog in a gated community push your face up empty your spirit sugar flattered shove you sound in a stone container

She'll get hers She'll get hers I'm not a dog In a gay community I'm always dog And I'm not saying I'm not changed I'm not changed

I'm not changed We're going to be. Why are you perspiring, Lieutenant? I suppose because you have it too hot in here. You drink until your pee is clear. And we've returned. Who is that again? Sure.

That is Tea Eater. And the song is called Little White Dog and a gated community. She says the verses describe the void between lives when you have to push your face up or release your old identity, empty your quote-unquote spiritual batter or spiritual batter or the memory of your previous life and pick a new soul container. There you go. Spiritual batter. Yeah, your spiritual batter. I don't know what to make of that. I'm just thinking pancakes.

That's what I'm thinking. Uncooked pancakes. Don't eat that. Don't eat uncooked pan. Don't eat your spiritual batter. No. It's not for human consumption. All right, but I'll tell you what is. Good tech news is for human consumption.

And knowing what's going on out there in tech is important since we live in such a technical world. So let's do it. Isn't technology wonderful? It sure is. It's Tom Merritt joining us as he does each and every Wednesday to talk about the tech stories of the day. Tom Merritt, welcome back to the program. I have material girl stuck in my head suddenly after that intro. I don't know why.

That's weird. We are living in the material world. In the technology world. Sure. Can you dance around with some pointy boostier kind of business on? Are you happy to do that? I don't have any nearby right now. Fortunately, I'm sorry.

I finally did it. We stumped Tom. Don't preach. Look at everything he's got back there and he couldn't find a boostie bra, pointy bra. Yeah. You finally exposed the weakness in my setup. Finally, the Achilles heel in his bookcase.

It took us a long time. I got one of those. Yeah. You got an Achilles. well that's good i hope you have both of them you need you need those two of them uh well tom it's always good to have you here what is uh what is happening in the world of tech there's got to be something going on who knows nobody knows nobody knows no truth anymore scott no uh no apple announced a new phone yeah it's a it's a nice mundane uh big company announces new

product for arguably affordable depending on who you are uh no more iPhone SE. Everybody thought this would be the iPhone SE4. Not what it's called. It's the iPhone 16E. They upgraded the internals to be equal to the iPhone 16. So you've got the A18 ship. It means you can run Apple

Intelligence. It's USBC not lightning. No home button does total face ID, edge to edge. You get the notch, the whole ball of wax. But it is $599. So quite a bit cheaper than the 16. Well, a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the the open of the 16.

It is more expensive than the SE. The SE was $429. So we're talking a $170 price upgrade for the most affordable iPhone in the catalog. The other interesting thing inside is it's the first Apple phone to use Apple's own C-1 modem. Apple usually includes a modem made by Qualcomm for the 5G connectivity, the cellular connectivity. but they have designed their own modem. I don't know exactly who they got to make it. I'm going to guess DSMC,

but somebody made it for them, and now it will be available in the iPhone 16E, and the idea is they, like they did with Apple Silicon, where they made the chip way more power-efficient in laptops, right? They are saying that they are now going to have a more power-efficient modem, so you'll get even more battery life out of the 16-E. I guess all the premium users wait another year for that same modem to be in a 17. Is that the idea?

I guess so. Yeah. I'm curious about the timing of the release of the C1. I assume it's to give this a little panache so that if you're like, well, I want the bargain phone. But hey, I'm the first one with the C1. It may be a little bit of a test case where they know that 16E users may be a little more tolerant. you know, not push their phones to as high a performance so they're willing to try it out there. I don't know if either of those are the case. That's just my own speculation. But I would speculate

unless this thing, you know, is a dumpster fire, which I wouldn't expect it to be, that, yeah, we'd see the C1 modem or an improved version, like a C2 modem in the iPhone 17s, whatever they announced later this year. Interesting. So I'm trying to think, like, my mom, my mom is finally at a place where I might get her to upgrade. She likes to hang on forever and never, never. That price is pretty, she got now she's got like an old well she went back and forth she had some android thing for a long time and kept it forever like way out of like update time like you couldn't get updates for it was falling apart then she ended up with i think an s e for and but i don't remember what it what version of that

was this just seems like the right upgrade for her so i may i may see what we can do there i mean five hundred ninety nine dollars isn't cheap you can find better android phones for less yeah but If you want to be in the iOS world, it is certainly the least expensive iPhone that you can buy. Yeah, it's not breaking the bank. Yeah. And do you think this is them saying, we now have another branch on the mainline phones. It uses, it shares the numbers, right? It's got a 16 in the name.

Yeah, yeah. And every time there's a refresh or so, you'll have the E version of the phone. You'll have a 17. Yeah, it's a little more similar. to what Samsung does with its A galaxy phones. You have the Galaxy S, which is always the flagship and the Galaxy A, which is its mid-range line. I wonder if we see some mission creep and we get a 16E advanced or a 16-E pro or plus or something like that down the line. I would expect that we will continue to see the mid-range iPhone announced in the early part of the year.

and then the flagship side of things still announced in the autumn that I don't think we'll have them all announced at the same time. But, yeah, the naming scheme does imply that they are trying to make this all be, you know, the same generation. You're going to have a 16, a 17, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Well, there you go. Candy bar phones, lovers get ready. There's a new guy on the block or something like that. Is this a candy? Do we consider these candy bar phones?

Do we say that? No, because they used to be, those are the old, like, Nokia, right? Yeah, I always think of that as the slimmer Nokia's. They were more like a milky way. This is more like a Hershey bar. Yeah, this is more like a Hershey bar. I guess it's not a good, it's bad terminology anymore because all phones are like this. They're all like this. Yeah, it's not wrong. It just struck me when you said it. I was like, yeah, it's a pretty thick candy bar. Dark chocolate, you know, you can tell I don't get enough chocolate in my life. Well, anyway, that's great. Go check it out. We'll be talking about that. And many, other things today on The Daily Tech News Show Live, which happens at 2 p.m. Mountain Time. I'll be there. It's super fun. We're also doing a bonus show for the month. Those are also really fun. Yeah, yeah. A patron over there, you know all about that. Tom, anything else happening you'd like to mention to the folks. Yeah, the Daily Tech News Show briefing, which is the audio show that most

people get, is going to feature Brian Brushwood talking about his rebuild of his studio. He's got some really interesting cameras that are motorized. They're not. using, you know, software to change and follow people, but they can do automatic face following and all of that. So that is in the Daily Tech News Show briefing as well. Check out at Daily Technewshow.com. Sounds awesome. Tom Merritt, everybody. He is Ace Detect on all the socials. See you next time.

Oh, what happened there? That's weird. There we go. There's Brian. I'm here. I'm still. I thought I should destroyed your photo there of your video of you somehow, but you're okay. Everything's okay.

is a regular cinnamon stick you'd see sticking out of a drinker or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're out of your apple cider, warm apple cider. And you got to. Oh, my God. I can't wait to. Have either either you watch apple cider vinegar yet? No. No, not yet, but it's on my list. I'm scared to. I love that Deaver girl, but I hate the subject matter so much. Oh, I, I, it's on my list. We want to see a whole, do I want to see a whole thing about people getting scammed so hardcore like that? it's hard for me can i just can i just tell you you watched baby rainder scott baby rainier did i not high who says you're hot oh someone in the chat says i'm i'm not high i'm just i might be on a steroid yeah

because i have i have i have i b i tomorrow and they crap me for that well you're definitely not on a low right out here tell us that we sound kind of sparkly I just want to say as someone with a chronic illness And if you're listening, I feel you Because I have spent thousands of dollars trying this supplement Or that supplement or maybe this will work or maybe that will work And when all I need it was a doctor to order the right blood tests. Yeah.

To tell me what the hell was going on. Sure. Yeah. Sometimes that's all we need, you know? Right. But to answer your question, I think I would put the thing. I'd have a little cinnamon up my butt. I think I'd do that.

Yeah. If I could sleep all night. Because who cares? No one's seen me having to go in the bathroom and going, all right. I'll be there in a second, honey. I got to put this thing. And as long as it doesn't hurt and burn, which it probably would. It probably would burn.

I think it would burn. Definitely burn. I'd have to get used to it. Yeah, it might tingle a bit. It might be a little sparkly. A little sparkly in the butt. All right. Time for us to get to recommendals.

This is a show where we talk about stuff where we've seen it on streaming services. We think you might like it as well at home. And that's why we do it. Brian, let's start with your clip. What do you got? Yeah, this is something that I was really excited to see when I first. heard it get announced um you're going to hear uh well you're going to hear three voices in this clip two of them are the same person but played by different people oh my lord all right here we go

for most fathers and sons a hunting trip is about bonding about teaching your son the skills to survive on his own for us it was that and more Harry knew I had specific needs, and we tried to everything we could to control them. That? Not fine. What you get? These look fresh.

It's been a while since you bagged a bore. Tracks look deep. Must be a big one. So what do you think? So what do you think? Pork chops tonight or sliders? Hmm. Dex. Dad, these hunting trips don't work for me anymore.

What do you mean? Animals aren't enough. These feelings I have. I can't ignore them. No, no, it's too soon. You taught me the code to help me channel my urges. What's the point if I can't even use it? I hear a Christian Slater to add in there.

You do, yeah. This time he's a real dad, not like on Mr. Robot, where he plays an imaginary dad. That is Patrick Gibson and Michael C. Hall, both playing Dexter, the internal voice, the narrator, of course, is your Michael C. Hall, the original Dexter. And then Patrick Gibson playing, doing an incredible job in Dexter, original sin at playing Young Dexter. It's a little freaky, if I'm honest. I haven't seen it yet, but even just like photos and a couple of scenes I've seen, it's like, like, are you kidding me? How did they find this kid? It's amazing. It is, it is crazy. They did a great job with casting, not just, um, not just young Dexter, but also younger, uh, Harry Morgan,

Christian Slater there as, as Dexter's dad, adopted dad. Um, Molly Brown as, uh, taking over the Jennifer Carpenter, uh, role is, uh, um, uh, Deborah Morgan, his sister. Um, but you've also got young Leguerta. You've got young Angel Batista. young Vince Masuka from the original series because this is about Dexter's joining of the police force, the Miami Police Department and becoming the blood spatter expert that he was in the series. It's really, really good.

You've also got Sir Michelle Geller in here, which is great. I don't know if you can tell us what role it is, but what is she? She plays the Chief of Forensics at Miami Metro. So, um, this is all set in this early 70s or late 70s or something like that. It's in the, uh, 80s, late 80s. Oh, 80s.

Does it feel? I don't know. Sometimes, sometimes they do a pretty good job, but they'd also have stuff in there like, um, there was one phrase like, oh yeah, Deborah Morgan at one point says, oh, let's go, which is like, no, they weren't saying that in the 90s. They didn't start saying that until 10 years ago or 15 years ago. Yeah, that's, that's a recent thing. Maybe late 80s, but it is, it's funny because that doesn't even feel important, like the, the time frame, other than a couple bits of music and stuff where you're saying, oh, I love that song, it's, you know, wham playing in this clip or something like that.

It doesn't feel like they really lean into, let's make sure this feels and looks like the 80s and early 90s. but but the story it's great because you've got you've got Michael C. Hall still doing your your narration and he's he's kind of the

omnipotent this feels like a weird young Sheldon thing happening kind of I mean it it is technically a younger version of a very established character

more like the more like the original show though right though it's not it's not like a completely different kind the way sheldon was like such a different concept of a sitcom right there's no laugh track it's yeah yeah yeah yeah this is more feels like this one feels like it fits in the style of the original if you like the feel of the original you'll like this as opposed to the goofiness of big bang theory compared to young sheldon sure which by all accounts is far better um it is it's uh 10 10 episodes. Last one, the season finale just aired last Friday. So Tina and I waited so that we could make sure we finish the series and when we're able to watch the finale when it came out. It does still kind of revolve around Dexter learning to control his dark passenger and what that all means. But it also has a lot of flashbacks to

A lot more than we ever got on the original series with how Harry Morgan, his dad, found him. And the whole relationship between the two of them. In the trailer, right? It was in a container. A container. Shipping container. That's right. Basically, he and his brother alive and his mom and everybody else, just basically born in

blood is the way he described it. Yeah. The bottom of that thing filled with blood. And you get the case, the case that Harry was working on that led to that whole experience. So it's the setup of Dexter and Harry's discovery. I'm going to have to watch this because I fell off, Dexter. How many seasons were there of Dexter? Six.

Six, I think. Yeah. Did you see the John Lithgow season? That was two or three. That was amazing. My memory is crap. I think I fell out. It was when he got a girlfriend.

Okay. Was that season four? He even got married too. Well, yeah, I messed this. I think I fell off around season three or four. Okay. Three, it may have peaked at three. I feel like it did.

Eight seasons, by the way. I was eight. Jeez. Holy crap. I remember the finale was like a, bummer. I didn't like it. It was a bummer. Yeah. I just kind of stopped. We just stopped watching it and we never went back to it. So maybe that's a good thing and I can go to this new show and you could. Yeah. You don't need to know anything. You don't have to have watched Dexter. What was it? First New Blood, Dexter New Blood, which was the one season. So Bramberg Wright said season four was peak Dexter and that is probably the last season. that I want. I think that's...

Death of Lithgow one? Okay. I think I'm back a season of my head, but yeah, that was an amazing. The John Lithgow season is really strong.

I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one that kind of was like, I'm done. Yeah, that's when he was involved with Rita, married and adopted father to her kids and new baby Harris. Yes.

Yes, I remember that. Okay, yes. I remember that. That was the Lithgow season because, Oh, geez. Yeah, the stuff that happens in there. Patrick Dempsey's in this new thing? Yes.

Yeah, he plays the chief, McDreamy plays the chief of Miami Metro. Oh, man. If I thought there was, if I thought there was any reason my wife was not going to watch this, I have now found the reason she will absolutely watch this.

Sorry, she's definitely going to want to watch it. That's good for me, because I'd love to see this. I'm ready. I want to see it. Yeah, for sure. So anyway, it is on Paramount Plus. It's very, very good. And you don't need to, yeah, you don't need to have finished the Dexter series or watched

new blood to be able to pick this one up. Because you can do what you want. You can do what you want. Live your own life. That's what we say. You know, though, season five had Peter Weller. It was the Peter Weller season. It was a good season, too.

Yeah. It was pretty strong. where's the one where he was like Dexter was poking around the containers and then they had that famous thing where that actor that one of the cops who was always skeptical walks out and go surprise mother effort what season was that because i love that one two or three that was that early i freaking love that guy that guy was so good the cop that was kind of always on to him yeah that one ended that was in uh it always bothered me too that his that uh the actor's um wife was his sister right Jennifer Carpenter is Something just didn't jive They're not well I mean they met on the show though So that happens a lot right

Where do you mean? Yeah I guess I guess it's not like they It's not like they came in there married But yeah it's a fair point Yeah Did they get married during the show? They did and then they I think they're divorced now Yeah in 2007 they began dating

And then I think they broke up In 2011 but they're still very close friends According to Yes close now she's now she's engaged to one of the

the A-Vitt brothers Oh wait The who's? The A-V-A-V-E-T-Brothers A-V-E-T-T-T-T-E-T-T-E-T-E-T-T yes They're a folk band From the Carolinas, I believe Brian's right

alternative, Mumpurton Sons, the Luminers. I love all that. I'm going to have to check this out. What's the guy who did the really cool that went kind of viral, the men on Washington Hill or whatever, I don't know. I have no idea. I don't know. Oliver, Oliver. Oh, the little, the kid from the TikTok, he got big on TikTok.

You're talking about him? I really like that song. Yeah. Wait, you're not talking about, you don't mean the super gingery redheaded kid, do you? yeah it's super gingery oh i think he's kind of problematic that kid that could be wrong isn't he in trouble for something i mean he is a ginger so that doesn't kind of yeah it's something it's something weird i know somebody in the chat will know who i'm talking about where's that rich men of richmond north of richmond oh that's what it is yeah that guy's there's something

up with that dude i can't remember what it is you can go look it up but i don't remember what it is i can look it up, but you could also, I've also seen him talk that it's, everybody thinks he's right, but he's, I don't think he is. I think he's like middle. Oh, you mean right, like, and not correct. You mean like right wing? No, it wasn't that. It was

some other thing. I can't remember what it was. It was like some kind of, oh, shit, I can't remember. Was that what it was? Is everybody on the mega hat side was like, this guys are a man. Everybody thought he was mega, MAGA, but then he started doing interviews and they were like, Wait, no, that's not the message.

And he's like, yes, that's the message. I may have bad information. I can't remember. He got embraced by MAGA, but then he pushed back against it. I think he was full-on country, though, that dude, or at least like bluegrass or something. I've listened to quite a bit, few of his songs. I really, really enjoy them. Well, yeah, but I mean, it's what is, what is this genre, do you think?

It's the genre we're just talking about. The alternative. The alternative. Americana. I'm going to call it bluegrass. then I'll fight anyone who tells me different. Hit that song that plays that is bluegrass as hell, that guy. Unless I'm thinking to somebody else, or a different ginger.

I don't know. Well, anyway. Anyway, that's the original sin on Paramount Plus. Check it out. QuickTMS.S. dot LIs where you'll find it. Yeah. Well, we're still going to find his name.

Oliver Anthony. Oliver Anthony. Anthony Oliver. Nope, Oliver Anthony. Yeah. Nicole. I'll send you the link. Sweet.

Send, tell me also about this stuff you gave us for you recommendal today. What do you got today? What's going on there? Oh, yeah, yeah. Before I get to that, I heard you said you, you like chocolate before you. I love chocolate, but I have to eat less of it because my doctor tells me to quitting so much chocolate. Yeah. So I sent, do you do you have Girl Scouts in your era? Do you know a Girl Scout? We do. We do. Oh, trust me, it doesn't stop my family from buying that stuff. But, uh, okay. Yeah, my, uh, I did, I did send Kim and eat. I did send Kim and email because Ava's in Girl Scouts and I have so many Girl Scouts in my garage right now. It's ridiculous. Oh, is that how it works? You guys get them and then you have to distribute them. I thought

they ship. I don't know what I said. Well, we, they do both. Okay. So like if you ordered them from Ava, I could give you Ava's cookie page. And in fact, do you mind if I share it. Yeah, go ahead. No, do it. Everybody. I really, Ava did a little, Ava did a video. Are you thinking that just because I'm into the gym now three days a week that I'm not going to want these two, Nicole? What's the, you know, what's with the pushing Brian away? I shared Ava's digital cookie.

Just watch, even, you don't even have to buy cookies. But her little video that she made is, I'm going to buy the crap out of those cookies. It's so cute. But you can, they actually have a program where you can donate because people are like,

I don't want to eat the cookies. But I do want to support the Girl Scouts. Because honestly, the money that you buy from the, cookies they it goes towards her troop and our activities so us being able to take them camping or to um different different events and stuff like that it's all handled through that so that's how they fundraise just like the boy scouts or sorry scouting they change their name um can you send me the cookies that people don't buy when they just make a donation and say they don't need the

cookies? I wish I could. I think you could put a note. So if anybody's listening and you wouldn't buy Brian cookies. No, no. Just kidding. Don't buy me cookies. Don't buy Brian cookies. Whatever you do. I mean, here's a problem. We ordered, and we'll do it

again from her, but we ordered cookies because we want to Scouting USA. We want to support the kids, obviously. Yes. Then the cookies come to the house and then I go, I'll just have one of those. It's fine. I just have one of those. What's your favorite? What's your favorite?

Oh, probably the thin minced, probably. Oh, no, you know what? The little peanut buttery ones. Yeah, there's two. My favorite is the oatmeal peanut butter, and then there's the chocolate peanut butter. Yeah, the taglons, the chocolate peanut butter. Everybody always says samos or Samoas, but they changed the name of that, right? Something else.

No, no, it's still called the Samoas. And those sell more than I was even expecting, because I've never been on the selling end of it. And I hate coconut. I'm like, who would want Samoa's? I was, hey, real quick. But everyone loves Samoa. Breaking news. They did change it.

They changed it. I mean, you guys ready for this? You ready for the shock of your life? Check this out. Yeah. Girl Scouts making shocking cooking, cookie name change. Shoppers cry foul. Anyway, here it is.

They are changing it to, where is it? Scroll down. When are they changing it? Because it still says Samoa's on them. They're now called Carmel Delights. And you might have some boxes that don't have the change yet, but the new name, here's a picture of it. So those are also collector's items.

Yeah. Going to collect them in your belly. I will say this is the last year to get the smores cookie. And a lot of people... Those were a little too rich for me. Yeah, but... You know the ones I miss were the damn... It was shortbread with like a layer of chocolate on the...

Oh, I don't remember those. It was like it was a shortbread girl scout's logo, and then they dip the bottom in chocolate, almost like a fudge stripe, but without the stripes across the top. It sounds kind of like the adventure fools, which is like a brownie cookie with like a caramel and then. Yeah, those are close, but there was something that was just a straight up shortbread with the bottom dipped in chocolate. I cannot remember the names of those. Dosi-dose, thank you, Mariposa, yeah. Dose-dos are the oatmeal with the peanut butter, and those are my favorite.

Oh, okay, then not dosi-dose. There was a different one. And depending on the region that you live in, you get different cookies because apparently the only gluten-free cookie I can sell is the toffee-tastic because who one's toffee at? But they have a chocolate chip gluten-free one if you live on the West Coast, I think. So it's kind of interesting how it all works. But either way, when you buy those cookies, you are sporting that troop. And if you decide that you want to donate cookies, you can do that too. So if you help Ava out today, I appreciate it.

All About, by the way. All Abouts? That's the name. All About. Here's a, yeah, here's the. I'm all about those. A photo of the All Abouts in our chat there. They had little, like Scott's fake matches from threads, they had little sayings on them.

Oh, yeah. All about caring. Oh, these look great. I'm a big fan of this kind of cookie. Yeah. Shortbread with a little bit of chocolate in the bottom. Are there any vegan cookies? I don't know.

Oh, I'm sure there are. There have to be. Oh, for Girl Scouts, I don't know. But I'm sure there's such a thing. I mean, I'd be curious to look at the gluten-free ones to see. But, yeah, that's a hard one. I found out what the deal is with Samoas. It's regional.

It's two different bakers make the Samoas. And one of them. You see bakers and little brownie bakers. Yeah. So if you're in the place that gets the one from the one, you get them to the Samoas. as you get the others it's so it wasn't this like pc name change or whatever it's just like two bakers one made hey hold on just a second what do you need eva what's that she need some of these cookies okay okay yeah okay okay is she good okay i love you and okay love you mark

so we've been on we've been out they've been out of school for the last three days yeah because of snow well not even snow it was president's day and then they had a professional development day and now it's a snow day because it was like

you know why not let's just I still resent people who have snow days because I never got one as a kid not one yeah never we got them here in Colorado

we got those big dumps of snow and they would do a snow day and I just never coincided with a school day In Colorado, it was a lot of delayed because they knew by noon the snow would be, you know, almost melted away. You just rain too hard in the south and everybody shuts down. Up here, we're sort of used to it. That's right.

And then, but in my case, it just never coincided. My kids all had snow days. Oh, my God. I knew other people in snow days, but me and my specific years in school never had one. Interesting. Plenty of days where we should have, I can tell you that. Anyway, but let's get to your thing, Nicole. Okay, sorry, I sidetracked on pimping Girl Scout cookies for Eva.

You sure did. It's all right. Hope she sells a bunch and hope some of the little she still goes to me. Because, oh, seriously, I'll mail you some cookies. We'll buy some, yeah, we'll totally buy some. Yeah, us too. You know, get talking to you because we didn't. And if they freeze.

So they're good, technically out of a freezer until September. But I read that you can put them in the. freezer and they'll last up to a year. Yeah, the, um, we actually have a sleeve of, well, no, we actually have a sleeve of thin men's from last year that are still in the freezer. Yep. They are good ice cold. Like, like that is a great, a great way to eat a thinnment.

Yeah, they don't become, they don't become, they don't become hard when they're frozen. They just become. It's like a York peppermint patty, but smaller. Yeah. All right. Oh my gosh. That sounds so good, dude. Uh, all right.

Sorry. All right. So, Nicole. My thanks. What did you bring? Okay. So I brought to the table something old, very, very old. But I watched it every single morning.

It's like Saturday morning as a kid for me every morning now. I don't know when Amazon, I'm guessing, because didn't Amazon own, was it freebie? Freebie. Okay. So I think this is them rebranding freebie. And on our television in the Amazon app, there is now a tab at the top that says live shows. That's 100% what they're doing, yes. And so they've basically taken the Pluto model and they've made all of these different channels that have specialty.

Of course, there's a Price's Right channel, just like on Pluto. And they have one particular channel that I am a big, big, big, big, big. fan of and I watch it and the kids are like the kids are into it and they're it's so funny because I never I've never played the game but I love love love love the cartoon all right I'll play this thing and actually can show this to the chat it's on YouTube and it's freely available so this should be are you showing I'm going to show the intro to the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon intro yeah the cartoon okay okay the one you sent me the first one Yeah.

So here you go. For more superhero cartoons, check out superhero cartoons site.com. Hey, look. A Dungeons and Dragons ride. Wow. Give me a break. I don't like this.

Whoa. What's happening? Whoa. Where are we? Look out. See a lot? Ranger Barbarian

magician thief Magician Cavalier and acrobat Okay, some of those are not real What the hell is a cavalier? I don't know, but there's no such thing as a magician. The Chevy model from the 70s.

The thing about D&D is you can make your own ideas in your own campaigns, but the standard classes do not include a magician or a cavalier. Cavalier, acrobat. Is there an acrobat? There are acrobatic skills. but I don't think anything there's no default class called the acrobat so I don't know why they called it that but anyway I just I grew up watching this cartoon they play it so that the channel in the Amazon Live is called Dungeons and Dragons adventures because it's not they just it's not just this cartoon they also play a lot of I mean honestly no chat singles are all second edition classes

I didn't know that. Is that true? Because they don't have them anymore. They're gone now. So maybe back in the day, you could be an acrobat. That's stupid. But go ahead. Sorry, Nicole. But they also have a lot of like, kind of like what Liam does, like with critical hit. Honestly, they kicked off a huge, like, wave of other people doing those types of shows. So there's even like a D&D cooking. show that they show and then there's another one like I haven't watched all of them

but they kind of cycle through them it's all live so it's not like I can jump ahead and watch any of these but usually when I'm sitting down in the morning with my coffee Dungeons and Dragons the old cartoon is on and I'm like

yeah this is it this is great I did not know about these live channels there's a Vivo 80s 80s music videos 24 hours a day a myth but there's also a freaking BBC game shows oh my god I am so hooked on I'm totally

I think there might even be a Monty Python if I'm thinking of perfectly they also have even they have a ret link their morning they have a mythical morning is that how you say their name yeah good good morning brand new that's all new content

then, right? Yeah, well, I don't know. No, I mean, not 24 hours a day, but it's it's repurposed, so it's just basically, hey, I like Mr. Beast. No, I don't. There's a nip tuck. Speaking of Niptuck, or I guess we were talking about that

yesterday trivia, never mind, but there's a nip tuck channel, of all things. Yeah, they got, it says like, Tubey's doing this, Pluto's, everybody's kind of doing it. Everybody's doing this, and I call this passive TV. And I am here for it because I get, I have almost, I have paralysis of analysis of deciding what I want to watch. And so when I have the option to just go in and say, I'm in that mood, boom, just honestly, it's usually either the price is right with True Carrie or just Dutch as a Dragon's Channel.

I saw that Price is Right Channel. So it's just the Drew Carey stuff? No, Richard Dawson. So far, for that one is just Drew Carey, but they have another one called the Barker Years. I know it's on Pluto. I don't know if it's on Amazon. But if you want to see some cringy-ass sexism, holy crap, it's bad. It's all.

My brother-in-law is actually obsessed with watching the Barker years. and then like telling me and his brother. Yeah, for a while there, man. He got so condescending and mansplaining with women and was like, well, I'm so glad you decided to get out of the kitchen and come to audition for the Price is Right and get on a game show. And then when you would make the women, when you got the exact bid, they would make them go into his pocket.

I have to reach into his pocket for money. Yeah. So I digress. this really was more of me letting you know especially if you have like we have a Roku TV and it's part of the Amazon some so like my mom has an older Amazon fire stick it doesn't have the same shows as my Roku TV it's weird so it's not the same yeah they'll have to take a look and see what we can get with this on the Apple TV because that would be where I'm kind of have it on the background is on the Apple TV. But it would be at the top. It's just prime. It's a top menu.

If you have Prime, you just hit the live show link and you should get them. Yeah. We have it on the house. So, the Dungeons and Dragons adventure channel is my favorite. But they also have a reading rainbow channel, which my kids love. I'm like, and they have a little house. Yeah, a little house on the Prairie channel.

Like, it's just, oh. My God, you just scroll through this and it is just like this list never ends of all these channels. It's crazy. The current Dungeon Dragons episode that's on right now is Faster Purple Worm, Kill Kill. That's the name of it. I really like Faster Pussy Cat. That's hilarious. That's a great name.

So the other thing that I shared with you, it made its rounds. It was done five years ago. I never saw it. but it is a commercial for car of all things but it is a live action Dungeons and Dragons Imagining and I want that I want this movie so bad now

like a live action adaptation of the cartoon with those characters those ones that went in the mystery tunnel of lover ride roller coaster You have Eric Eric was always the jerk whatever um but uni and like all of them are in the commercial and it's live action uh i'll put a link in the in the chat if you haven't seen it but oh do we lose you oh we lost her yep oh am i not there you're back now don't watch it while you're on the show yeah yeah yeah so it looks like this like a little this is like a little fake fan trailer not no it's not a fake fan it's a real

It's a car commercial. Is it? Yes. Because it says, it says all this stuff down below says it was a fan film. But anyway, all right. Let me, I'll play it. Let's see what we get here. I won't play the whole thing, but a bunch of it.

Okay. The new Chevy Cavalier. See six of your friends from your fan film. I don't see this car yet. It comes in a bit. But then you got Benger that comes in. It's the Benger! Run!

It's not the Benger. It's not the Benger. It's not the Benger. There it is. It takes you completely out of it. I'm going to go back. Get out losers. Yeah.

What's going to go? Also, he was driving the car. Oh, he just disappeared. He was outside of the car. Yeah, you know, I guess you never take up space again. What car is this? They feature it at the end. That logo is just like a diamond or something.

It's European, they have a European. Unabishi, not the Mitsubishi. Unabishi. All right, let's see what happens here. Oh, they're all getting sucked in. We're in the real world back. We're back. They find to get the outsider.

Is it the? Yeah, but who makes it? Outback outside. But they have a European license plate on it. We even have that goofy unicorn from the hilarious. I don't know who that car maker is. I just don't say. That's weird.

Dr. Calhoun says a Brazilian Renault commercial. Oh, Brazilian. Yeah. How much is a Brazilian? It's also in English. That's crazy. All right. All right.

Well, that looks like a fun little beater car. I would drive that. But I'm just saying they need to make that movie. Yeah. I know. That actually looked really good. I want, I want, I want that movie. I mean, there is a car.

Do you see the, I don't need the car? Did you like the D&D movie? Because I liked it. It was pretty good. Do you want to come out? I love the D&D movie with, uh, uh, Hugh Grant. Yeah. That's good.

Oh, I loved it. It was wonderful. I love that movie. I hope they do. I think I even recommended it. Did you hear on the show? One of us did on the show. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Excellent movie. Um, all right then. Well, there you go. Uh, both of these YouTube videos will be available for your perusal, up on the thing and then probably a link to the

Amazon deal. Yeah, the link to the channel. So watch for that. Amazon Prime. Some good old fashion nostalgia. All right, I did something that's a little unusual for me. I've been doing a lot of horror movies

and kind of scary stressful stuff lately. Not this time. I took listeners a bit of advice from yesterday and I watched this. There we are. That's a girl's name. Yes, my mother was so sure she was having a girl.

She picked the name. early and kept him you don't say i'm pleased to meet you sir call me doctor and francis you can tell this good doctor that his theories are extremely interested and i'll be praying for him yes doctor though it's his patience i should be praying for keep up son okay that is uh probably obviously to many of you uh the voice of uh alan rickman yeah uh the other guy is Gasland Bay, formerly known as, what was he called before? He had a different name before. Mo's deaf, that guy.

He's the other dude talking. This is a true story. A movie came out in 2004. It was an HBO original back then or an HBO joint. There was no HBO Max then, so it was just a thing they put up on their channel. And it was a TV movie back in 2004 called Something the Lord made. And a recommendation from a listener came in. We also got multiple emails yesterday, long ones about how this movie changed their life.

And it wasn't so much that the movie itself changed their life, but the people in it in this true story directly affected heart condition treatment that their kids got and stuff that nobody knew about at the time because of some breakthroughs that these people made. So this thing is set during, let's see, I forget the era of the World War II-ish. Anyway, Yaslund Bay plays this character named Vivian Thomas is a real guy and Vivian Thomas was a guy literally named Vivian

because his mom was sure they were having a girl so sure that she just kept the name Vivian and made him have it. The stories about him being sort of a young and up-and-coming potential medical student.

He really wants to go to medical school. But he also lives in a time where black people are not being treated fairly. you know very Jim Crow era type stuff back then his dad is played by Charles Dutton who's fantastic Alan Rickman is this doctor Dr. Alfred Blaylock again based on a real dude who ran the medical school at Baylor University I think is right I forget anyway together they end up making a bunch of breakthroughs when it comes to especially congenital stuff like little kid heart issues

kids who were born they used to call them blue babies you said this was a horror movie no I said I usually do horror movies so I did something

not that did you miss that you must have missed that part I'm like how does he kill the kids call that a green

on air light or something I don't know an air light yeah anyway so he so this movie chronicles the work

these guys do in particular what what this Vivian guy does and he is he is considered now he is renowned in the heart cardiac world medical world um and he's fantastic in this mo's deaf who we went by at the time now he calls himself jaslin bay he's

really good in this but really stuck out to me was alan rickman's performance uh the character he plays this dr blaylock guy is really volatile there are times where he's like he's the only guy in the whole thing that doesn't seem to even notice that this guy's the other guy's black he doesn't even care. There's no racism in his eyes at all. He's just kind of a dick, right? So when he does things that are kind of mean and rude, it's not like all the other white people around who are doing it because they're just not used to having a black guy in the lab. He's doing it just because he's kind of an a-hole and he gets like temperamental and he spouts off stuff he shouldn't. And he's always apologizing. It's kind of a brilliant guy. But the portrayal is so good because

you never feel like any of that has anything to do with race. It's just him being a pud. And this other guy trying to figure out how to work around him. There's a lot more to say about it. I'll just say it's inspiring. The fact that it's a true story is actually kind of crazy and amazing. There are things we're doing today in cardiac thoracic surgery, that kind of stuff that just didn't exist until these two bumped into it all and made, you know, made some crazy discoveries. It's really, really good. So I want to thank that listener whose name we had yesterday.

Let me go find it real quick. here it is nope where did it go I lost it okay well oh was it down at the bottom it was here it is this was from Chris D who recommended this and said do yourself a favor and watch it

you know what I'm really glad I did and it's one of these very the name of the movie is called Something the Lord made and it's on HBO it's still on Max the director of this thing it's kind of funny his name's Joseph Sargent and his resume

is not inspiring he did like jaws the revenge um he did do the original taking a pelham one two three which is fantastic that movie's great but there's a lot of real middling stuff in here and your first impression is that this feels like something from oh four like it doesn't feel there are you just like oh yeah okay well this is older um but the the performances kick in and everybody's so good it's really it's really something oh i forgot to mention mary stewart masterson's in this in a supporting role she's really good in it um anyway i really liked it a lot and it was inspiring and you know made a nice change from all my genre horror that i've been watching lately so well and it reminds me of that remember

that one that movie i think it brendan fraser was in it and his kids it was like a they got twin kids into a trial because they couldn't process i think sugar or something how how far back we talking like probably 10 years ago maybe let's see I can't remember um desperate measures I think it was yeah Sean I think it I think it was called desperate measures oh yeah here it is but he there was something about how they made that treatment like go forward and like they invested it you know, or maybe it was Hugh Grant. I can't find it now. Maybe it was, maybe it's a different movie.

Or maybe it's not, yeah, maybe it's a different actor because I can't find the Brendan Fraser's in that. Basically, kind of the same thing, but it was for this special disease that not a lot of kids had, but his twins had it. And so he like did all kinds of like unconventional things to try to get them into this trial. And when it started working, the kids started laughing because they're, body started processing the sugar and the glucose in their body.

Oh, it's none of the people you mentioned. It's Andy Garcia and Michael Keaton. So I think that's the movie you mean. And it was 1998. So it's actually been a bit of time. Oh, my God. What was it called? It's called Desperate Measures.

They were right about it in the chat. Yeah. Desperately needs to save his son's life losing all. Why did I think Brandon Fraser? I don't know. I don't know. Who knows? He's the whale now.

So there you have it. I will say, because the treatment I'm going through right now with the IVIG, I hope someone makes a movie about that because immunotherapy is a relatively new concept. And a lot of our earlier, Mark and I did a lot of fundraising for the advancement because it's used in a lot of cancer. treatment programs but it's also used in other cases like mine and my sons and so i i would love to see um a movie like this about that that that part of that process too so i like i like hearing how things happen you might also be thinking of lorenzo's oil which has almost the exact same no yeah i think i am but i did not watch that one because i did not want to cry yeah that's a good

movie. And guess who directed Lorenzo's Oil? I want to freak everybody out. Just take a wild guess. Brian, who do you think you're like that? Um, was that Ridley Scott? No, somebody like that, though, right? No, it's, uh, well, it's somebody who, Brandon Fraser. No. He did not direct it. It is, uh, Fury Road's own George Miller, which is an insane. That's right. It's a weird thing to hear. Lorenzo's oil by George Miller. Yeah. George Miller. Like what a weird thing. I do somebody. I do somebody like that. Yeah. Uh, well, Nicole, it's been a treat. And so will those cookies be when we receive. them they'll be great oh yeah hey follow me on blue sky i just post it eva's cookie link uh there if you want to if you want to order or donate cookies what are you up there nicole's bag still

It's going to do it for us. Brian's play a song and get the F out. Yeah. Jennifer Brown wrote in and said, hello, sunny and beachy. Oh, that sounds great. On February 8th, I got to renew my AARP membership for the final time. I'm turning 51. In honor of this, Dave, Sketchy, and I are taking our youngest teenager to go see ESPA in Charlotte, North Carolina. Watching my kiddo go through their K-pop phase has brought back fond memories of dragging Dave to go see the Spice Girls movie on my 24th birthday. Like Dave, 26 years ago, I fully expect that I'm going to know about two songs of the entire show, but we'll nonetheless have fun.

We have about a five-hour drive down to Charlotte from Richmond, Virginia. And the more things change, the more they stay the same. So to honor my kid's excellent taste in music and my 51st birthday, I would love it if you would spice things up with a Spice Girls cover. Since Brian knows his Spice Girls, I leave the choice to him for song and style. Though Goff slash industrial slash EDM slash K-pop are all good starting points. Love the Toe Bros. Signed, Jen Oddly.

Happy Dad, say, do you. Congratulations, and well done. Very, very good. Yes, exactly. And I hope you had a great time at the concert. I know you're back from that since that was 11 days ago and happy post-birthday. Let's go with my favorite Spice Girls cover, which is by Mo. M and then that null O with a slash through it.

This came out in 2014. It's a cover of Say You'll Be There, and it's a little electronic, a little EDM. I really like it. Maybe not dancey, but definitely electronic.
